Nie Tian looked at the scrawny old man. When he saw the latter's face clearly, his eyes couldn't help but tremble in astonishment.
The scrawny old man stood there like a withered tree branch that could be blown away by a gust of wind.
This scrawny old man did not wear a ghost mask, but his face was exposed.
The most horrifying thing was that the withered old man's face was riddled with holes, and it was even to the extent that the ghastly white bones exposed on the outside could be seen. It was extremely horrifying.
Nie Tian did not expect this old man to look like this.
"Manor Lord!" The girl named Xiao Die was frightened when she saw the old man. She screamed and bowed deeply, not daring to look at him.
Everyone else also lowered their heads, showing their utmost respect.
In the entire hall, only Nie Tian looked directly at the old man's face without any hesitation.
This old man was the Ghost King Herb Manor's Manor Lord, Gui Shanquan.
Apart from being the Manor Lord, Gui Shanquan also had another identity — one of the two Vice Palace Lords of the Ghost King Palace.
"Old Mister, is there anything I can help you with?" Nie Tian regained his composure and looked at Gui Shanquan with a faint smile.
"This old man is the Manor Lord, Gui Shanquan. Earlier, you said that the Ghost King Herb Manor has everything under the heavens was a joke. This old man hopes that you can take back your words." Gui Shanquan said in a deep voice. His voice was like a sigh from hell, giving off an extremely gloomy feeling.
Although Gui Shanquan did not release any aura, and even his eyes were calm, his words made people feel a strong sense of oppression.
He was the Manor Lord, so of course he would not allow others to tarnish the Manor's reputation!
"Manor Lord, I'm afraid I can't take back my words." Nie Tian's reaction was very calm. He smiled faintly and said, "I've looked through all five halls of the Ghost King Herb Manor, but I couldn't find the herbs I needed. Isn't the Ghost King Herb Manor having everything under the heavens a joke?"
His calm voice resounded in the hall, but it was like a clap of thunder, causing everyone to stiffen.
Nie Tian was not the least bit afraid facing Gui Shanquan. His courage was too terrifying.
Everyone felt that Nie Tian was either a fool or a madman!
"Huh?" Gui Shanquan's gaze suddenly tightened. He did not expect Nie Tian to have such a reaction.
There was a strange look in his eyes, but he held it in.
After all, there were so many people watching. If he were to make a move directly, it would damage the reputation of the herbal manor.
"Since you said that the Ghost King Herbal Manor doesn't have the herbs you need, then please tell me the herbs, this old man will personally help you find them!" Gui Shanquan suppressed the anger in his heart and said Coldly.
"Sure." Nie Tian smiled playfully and said directly, "I need the Seven Leaf Dragon's Tongue Orchid. Please help me find it, Villa Lord."
"Seven-leaf Agave Orchid?" Hearing Nie Tian's words, everyone stared blankly because they had never heard of this medicinal ingredient before. They were all confused.
"Seven-leaf Agave Orchid!" Gui Shanquan was also stunned when he heard this name. However, his expression was clearly different from the others. It wasn't confusion, but shock.
Everyone saw that Gui Shanquan was also stunned. They couldn't help but look at Nie Tian and started discussing.
"What nonsense is this kid talking about? Where is this Seven-leaf Agave Orchid?"
"Right! I've lived for so long, but I've never heard of the Seven-leaf Agave Orchid. This kid must have made it up. This kid is simply here to cause trouble! "
"This kid must have eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gall. He actually dared to come to the Ghost King Herbal Manor to cause trouble. He's simply courting death!"
As the crowd discussed among themselves, the way they looked at Nie Tian became even more vicious.
"All of you, shut up!" Just as everyone was happily talking, Gui Shanquan suddenly roared. His whole body released a cold aura that enveloped the entire hall.
Everyone felt a strong oppressive force and a feeling of suffocation in their chests. They quickly shut their mouths and lowered their heads, not daring to move or speak.
Nie Tian was completely unafraid of Gui Shanquan's aura. The corner of his mouth curled into a faint smile and he said provocatively, "Villa Lord, can you help me find the Seven-leaf Agave Orchid? If you can't find it, isn't the Ghost King Herbal Manor's all-encompassing reputation just a joke? "
"You …" Gui Shanquan's old face tightened. His wrinkled face looked even more ferocious.
"Villa Lord, if you have nothing else to say, then I'll take my leave." Nie Tian smiled faintly and turned around to leave.
Gui Shanquan's strength was at the peak of Highgod. This person was obviously not a battle-type warrior. He should be a very high-grade God Alchemist.
With Nie Tian's current combat strength, as long as he was not a Lord God expert, he could leave safely.
"Wait!" Just as Nie Tian turned around, Gui Shanquan's voice sounded again. He said Cold, "Did I say that I can't find the Seven-leaf Agave Orchid?"
Nie Tian's figure froze. His expression couldn't help but change. He exclaimed in his heart, "The Ghost King Herbal Manor really has the Seven-leaf Agave Orchid!"
Nie Tian suddenly turned around. His eyes flashed with a blazing divine light. He said, "Villa Lord, with your status, you wouldn't lie to me, right?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Gui Shanquan replied Cold. He then said, "Please follow me."
Nie Tian was taken aback for a moment, and then hesitated.
He was a little worried. If Gui Shanquan brought him into a killing formation, then it would be troublesome.
No matter how he looked at it, Gui Shanquan was not a good person.
"Don't worry, I'm not as despicable as you think." Gui Shanquan could tell what Nie Tian was thinking. He said Cold and calmly.
"Nie Tian, follow him." Fat Cat was also very excited. He urged Nie Tian.
"Okay." Nie Tian nodded and followed Gui Shanquan.
A moment later, Gui Shanquan and Nie Tian came to a long passage.
Before entering the passage, Nie Tian felt a bone-chilling cold. He saw that the passage in front was actually sealed by mysterious ice. The cold air in the space was unusually strong.
"Follow me," Gui Shanquan said and stepped into the passageway.
Nie Tian also did not hesitate and entered the mysterious ice passage.
The mysterious ice passage was thousands of meters long. The deeper one went, the colder it got.
Fortunately, Nie Tian's martial body was strong. He didn't care about this kind of cold.
"It's here." Gui Shanquan came to the end of the mysterious ice passage. In front of him was an ice room made of the coldest mysterious ice.
Nie Tian saw a blue light surging through the ice room. It was very strange.
Gui Shanquan formed a seal with his hand. The door of the ice room slowly opened. He looked back at Nie Tian and said, "Please."
Nie Tian was stunned. He did not hesitate and stepped into the ice room.
As soon as he stepped into the ice room, the scene that greeted his eyes caused Nie Tian to freeze in place.
In the room, an ice-blue flower floated in the air. It bloomed layer by layer, releasing a dreamy ice-blue halo that filled the entire room.
The ice-blue flower was crystal clear. Its seven leaves hung in the air like seven tentacles. They were thin and transparent. It was extremely beautiful.
"This is …" Nie Tian looked at the ice-blue flower in front of him. He was stunned for a full ten seconds before he finally spoke.
