Tong Tong nodded regretfully, "Yes, this matter is not a secret in Nightless City. Everyone feels sorry for Young Master Li. With his intelligence and temperament, his future should be limitless. If he becomes the Lord of Nightless City in the future, it will be a blessing for the people of our city. It's just a pity that fate makes a fool of people. He has to bear this kind of pain before the age of twenty."
"After that incident, the people in the city all stay away from him. Although the millions of people in the city have received his kindness, as you can see just now, Young Master Li doesn't know right from wrong. His IQ is the same as a three-year-old child's. The streets and markets that he has caused trouble for cannot survive, so everyone deliberately avoids him. He doesn't always act like this. He only comes out once every five days under the care of Elder He Feng. If he bumps into any of the markets, even if the market is unlucky, the merchants in the market will not take it anymore. The damage caused can be considered as repayment for Young Master Li's kindness back then." It was obvious that Tong Tong was very helpless when he said this.
Qin Shi suddenly understood and thought to himself, "No wonder I felt that there was something wrong with that kid. So that's what happened?"
But he was very curious. If an elder of Nightless City was in the Nine Heavens Realm, then the Lord of Nightless City, Li Tan, would at least be in the Heaven's Boundary Realm. What kind of serious illness did Li Minghao have that could render a Heaven's Boundary Realm powerhouse helpless?
"What kind of serious illness did Li Minghao have back then?"
Tong Tong shook his head, "This is not something we guards can know. The Lord is very strict about this matter. Even the famous doctors who treated Young Master Li back then had to sign a confidentiality agreement before entering the city. There were a few who leaked the information, but they were all assassinated. Since then, no one has dared to ask about this matter."
Tong Tong scanned the surroundings with his rat-like eyes. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he cautiously said, "Moreover, this is a taboo in Nightless City. In the future, don't tell anyone else about it. Otherwise, someone will die."
Qin Shi frowned and thought, "What kind of illness could it be that Li Tan is so concerned about?
He even had to sign a confidentiality agreement?
Looks like there's definitely something going on here. "
However, he did not ask Tong Tong because he knew that Tong Tong was telling the truth. Since Li Tan was so concerned about it, he would not let anyone else know about it. Even if there were people who knew about it, it would not be the Tong brothers.
Upon understanding the situation, Qin Shi nodded. Upon seeing this sight, Tong Tong hurriedly said, "Milord, we brothers have told you everything you wanted to know. Can you let us go now?"
Qin Shi raised his head and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Hehe, not now. I'll ask you one more question. If you answer this question, I'll let you go."
"What problem?"
The two of them spoke in unison. They felt that every second they stayed in front of Qin Shi was an extra second of danger. All they could think of was how to leave. "Sir, please ask. We will definitely tell you everything we know."
"Forget it. I don't have time to waste here with you."
Qin Shi really did not know how to describe the silly brothers. He thought about what he had just considered and asked, "Let me ask you, where can I find herbs that can nourish and heal the soul in Nightless City?"
Qin Shi asked about two things. The first was undoubtedly something he needed. Since he had decided to make a breakthrough in his mental strength, he naturally had to make preparations. After all, the cultivation of the soul was relative to the spiritual power. Above the Six Incantations was equivalent to the Ascending Heaven State, which was the most crucial stage. The Soul Calamity was also terrifyingly powerful, so he did not dare to be careless.
The second was naturally to look for herbs for Sister Yu. It had become his habit over the years. Every time he came to a new place, the first thing he would do was to look for herbs to heal Sister Yu.
Tong Qing thought for a while, "Herbs that can nourish and heal the soul?
This is really rare in Nightless City. "
"By the way, big brother, there may be some in that place."
When Tong Qing was in a dilemma, Tong Tong suddenly raised his head. As the two looked at each other, Tong Qing's face clearly showed some ripples, "You mean, that place?"
Tong Tong nodded affirmatively, which made Tong Qing even more embarrassed.
Sensing the strangeness between the two, Qin Shi asked, "What place is it?"
"This, this …!"
Tong Qing was a little embarrassed. Qin Shi spread out his five fingers, and the golden light flowed, "What?
Don't want to say it? "
"No, no!"
Tong Qing had a strong aftereffect from the golden light. He quickly took a few steps back and shook his head, "No, Sir, you misunderstood. It's not that I don't want to say it, I don't want to say it for your own good. That place is not a place that ordinary people can go."
"What place?" Qin Shi said indifferently.
Tong Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, since you insist, I'll tell you. But you have to promise me that if you really go to that place, you must not say that we brothers told you. Otherwise, we'll all be in trouble."
"Say it."
"The Yangtan Bamboo Forest."
"The Yangtan Bamboo Forest?"
"Yes, the Yangtan Bamboo Forest is a taboo in Nightless City. It is a bamboo forest in the south of the city, and in the middle is a lake with mandarin ducks in pairs, so it is called the Yangtan Bamboo Forest. There lives an old monster there."
"Old monster?" Qin Shi was stunned.
Tong Qing nodded with certainty. His expression was extremely solemn. "Yes, it's that old monster. That old monster has a very eccentric personality. He lives alone in the Yangtan Bamboo Forest all year round. Even the City Lord is unwilling to provoke him."
"This old monster, everyone calls him the Undying Half-Old Man. He is a famous Soul Curse Talisman Magician, and has a good understanding of spiritual herbs. He also grows many spiritual herbs in the bamboo forest, so maybe there is something that Sir wants." Tong Tong added.
"But going there to ask for medicine is the most painful thing in the world." Just thinking about it made Tong Qing's face reveal a horrified expression.
But in this regard, Qin Shi did not care. He had seen too many strange things in the world, and now he only cared about where he could find the herbs to help him go a step further.
"South of the city?" Qin Shi murmured, and looked to the south.
Seeing this scene, Tong Qing was frightened, "Gulp, Sir, you are not really going to the Yangtan Bamboo Forest, are you?"
"Why?
Can't I? "
Tong Qing immediately shriveled up. With a long face, he said, "That's fine, but if you manage to come out alive, you can't blame us for what you've suffered in there."
Qin Shi shook his head helplessly. What was going on? It looked like these two brothers were really treating him as an unreasonable villain. "Relax, as long as the two of you are not lying to me, I will naturally not find trouble with you."
"Then don't worry, Sir. We are still trustworthy."
Tong Qing heaved a sigh of relief, then patted his forehead and said, "Oh right, Sir, there is one thing I did not tell you. When Young Master Li was gravely ill, the Immortal Semi-Old Man went to the palace to treat Young Master Li. This Immortal Semi-Old Man was not like that before. After that incident, his personality became eccentric, and he became very violent, as if he had been possessed. Over the years, many people have entered the Yangtan Bamboo Forest to ask for medicine, but only a few have come out alive. You should be careful."
"Oh?"
This news somewhat surprised Qin Shi.
But he still accepted their kindness. It seemed that Young Master Li's illness was far more troublesome than he had imagined. It could actually affect a Soul Incantation Talisman Magician.
It should be known that a Soul Incantation Talisman Magician's mental strength was very strong, and their souls had also been tempered thousands of times. Their minds were mature, and even those in the Heaven's Boundary Realm might not be able to match up to them. Yet, their minds were affected by the demon of illness, which showed how fierce it was.
"I'll be careful."
Qin Shi exchanged pleasantries with the two of them. Then, he waved his hand and two Glazed Crystals were thrown out. Although his tone was a little threatening, he had obtained a lot of information from the Tong brothers after all. He would not treat the two of them shabbily.
And after a short period of contact, he found that the two brothers were very interesting. They were not bad people, but they were a bit unreliable.
Receiving the two Glazed Crystals, the Tong brothers' eyes lit up. There were thousands of guards like the two of them in the Nightless City. They were the lowest existences in the Nightless City, and their annual salary was only a few hundred spirit stones. The value of a Glazed Crystal was something that the two had never imagined, so they had long forgotten about being threatened by Qin Shi. They hurriedly bowed to Qin Shi and thanked him, "Thank you, Sir, for the reward. Thank you, Sir."
But when the two of them raised their heads again, Qin Shi had already disappeared from his original spot. He and Xiao Mi Cai swept up the dust and disappeared into the end of the market.
If it weren't for the burning Glazed Crystal in their hands that stung them, they would have thought that everything was just an illusion. Tong Qing said excitedly, "It seems that we brothers have really stepped on dog shit today. We're so lucky. With these two Glazed Crystals, our sister's illness can be cured."
Gratitude flashed in the eyes of the two of them.
Qin Shi naturally did not know the conversation between the two of them. An hour later, he and Xiao Mi Cai had already returned to the restaurant. He stood at the window of the second floor of the restaurant and gazed towards the south of the city.
"Yangtan Bamboo Forest?"
With a murmur, Qin Shi and Xiao Mi Cai had already turned into two rays of flowing light and flew towards the south of the Nightless City.
Half an hour later, the two of them landed in a secluded bamboo forest. The bamboo forest was surrounded by a cool breeze, and the occasional moonlight accompanied by the gorgeous lights of the Nightless City flowed in. From the center of the forest, it actually brought along pieces of sparkling and crystalline waves.
With Qin Shi's eyes, he could vaguely see the lake in the middle of the bamboo forest. On the surface of the lake, there were hundreds of mandarin ducks playing in the water. It was a rather poetic scene.
