After parting ways with Lü Linghan, Qin Yichen did not directly leave the Black Devil Mountain Range. Instead, he circled around the outskirts of the Black Devil Mountain Range.
A few days ago, he had inadvertently discovered that there were many figures in the outskirts of the Black Devil Mountain Range. Among those figures, there were a few familiar faces.
Those people were the ones who had entered the ruins with Luo Qingyu and Wang Hailin.
It seemed that Luo Qingyu and Wang Hailin were still unwilling to give up. Therefore, they had always sent people to keep watch. If they discovered him … Although Qin Yichen was very conceited, he still knew his own limits. Currently, he did not possess the strength to directly clash with the Celestial Kirin Three Heroes.
After circling around in a large circle, the sky had gradually darkened. After finding a deserted area, Qin Yichen quickly rushed out and left the vicinity of the Black Devil Mountain Range.
After identifying the direction, he headed towards Xuan Yun City.
This detour had undoubtedly doubled the distance he had to travel. Originally, he would have been able to travel back in one night, but it was clearly impossible now.
After walking for about two hours, Qin Yichen discovered that there were lights in front of him. The hub of a small village had also appeared in his line of sight.
"Let's rest for a night first. It's not easy to recognize the direction at night."
Qin Yichen immediately walked towards the small village.
After entering the village, Qin Yichen discovered that although it was already night time, the village was still rather lively. From time to time, there were also mercenaries who had rushed back from outside like him.
Qin Yichen's appearance only attracted a few gazes. However, after seeing his somewhat young and tender face, those who were paying attention to him lost all interest.
Very quickly, Qin Yichen arrived at the entrance of a small courtyard that looked like an inn.
At this moment, there were quite a few mercenaries gathered in the courtyard. From their conversation, Qin Yichen understood that they were discussing the matters of Black Wood Cliff.
Qin Yichen was not interested in this at all. He quickly walked past them and entered the hotel.
After entering the inn, Qin Yichen was surprised to find that the interior of the room was unusually quiet. The people who came out of the room tried their best not to make any noise, as if they were afraid of disturbing someone.
Qin Yichen's gaze swept across the room and finally stopped at the old man behind the counter who seemed to be asleep with his head lowered.
This old man's hair was already half white. It was obvious that he was quite old. Furthermore, he looked very skinny. His frail appearance was completely out of place here.
After all, this was the outer area of the Black Devil Mountain Range.
There were no good people here. Without strength, it was impossible to survive here.
However, judging from the situation inside, it was clear that the inn was owned by the old man.
This was rather strange.
Qin Yichen hesitated for a moment, but still walked up to the counter and asked in a low voice, "That … Senior, is there another room here?"
As if he had heard Qin Yichen's voice, the old man raised his head slightly. Perhaps because he had been disturbed from his sleep, his voice revealed a hint of impatience, "There's another room on the far left. However, do you have any herbs with you?"
"Herbs?"
Qin Yichen was slightly taken aback. He had never heard of a hotel that did not accept silver coins and directly asked for herbs.
"Hehe, this fellow dares to come in without even knowing Old Man Zhou's rules."
"Don't talk so much, or else you'll be implicated!"
The mercenaries outside looked at his confused face and could not help but look at him sympathetically.
Although the old man was skinny, he had a fiery temper!
How many of them had not been taken advantage of before?
"If you want to stay, then bring out the herbs. If not, then get lost!"
The old man seemed like he wanted to beat someone up, but perhaps he realized that it was a youth in front of him, so he did not do so. Instead, he chided in a hoarse voice that revealed a hint of coldness.
"As for the herbs, I really don't have any on me …"
"Fellow, are you here to amuse me?"
Before Qin Yichen could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the old man. As if sensing the old man's anger, the mercenaries who were prepared to watch a good show retracted their necks.
Looking at the old man's aged face and slightly sunken eyes, Qin Yichen did not know why, but his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He sensed an extremely dangerous aura from this old man.
"This person is not simple!"
This thought flashed across Qin Yichen's mind. He did not doubt his own intuition at all. He had never felt such a dangerous aura, not even from Lin Huarong.
He was very clear about what this meant!
"I don't have any herbs, but I have something better here."
Just as the old man was about to chase him away, the corners of Qin Yichen's mouth slightly raised as he chuckled and said.
The old man only paused for a moment. After sweeping a glance at him, he calmly extended his hand and pointed at the door. He was only one step away from directly telling him to get lost.
From the expressions on the mercenaries' faces, Qin Yichen could tell that this was the mildest way this old man could scare someone.
However, he did not mind. Instead, he observed the old man. Faintly, he sensed a subtle fluctuation from the old man's aura. Immediately, the smile on his face deepened.
Not only did Qin Yichen not walk out, but he also leaned closer and softly said. "I can see that the energy in your body is in disorder, so you need to use the medicinal properties of ordinary herbs to maintain it?"
When he heard this, the old man's hand that was pointing at the door suddenly trembled. His sunken eyes stared intently at Qin Yichen as a trace of surprise flashed across his slightly narrowed eyes.
To be able to sense the energy in his body, this was enough to show that this young man in front of him had some ability.
However, very quickly, a trace of sadness flashed across the old man's eyes.
So what if he knew? How could a young man cure the hidden illness in his body?
"Leave. If you don't have any herbs, don't disturb me."
Even though the old man still signaled for Qin Yichen to leave, his slightly hoarse voice still carried a trace of coldness. However, there was a trace of impatience in his voice.
"Elder, perhaps I can help you."
As Qin Yichen spoke, his fingers reached into his robes and took out his Alchemist Badge.
For such a powerful person, it would be extremely good if he could befriend him.
When the old man's gaze landed on the badge, even though he revealed a trace of surprise, he quickly regained his composure. "As a person, one must know how to act according to one's capabilities!"
So what if he was a genius?
It was not as if he had not seen one before.
"Elder, do you not believe that I can cure the … heat poison in your body?"
