"What's going on?" Lin Tao's face changed.

"Did you hear that horn? It was the horn issued by the City Lord's Mansion, which means to activate the second-level formation. The whole city is blocked. You can't understand it even if you tell you." The guard said and was about to leave.

Lin Tao quickly grabbed him, "You wait a moment, we want to leave the city now, even if we pay a little more."

Lin Tao gave him a bid code, but the guard just shook his head after hearing this and said, "Don't you understand yet? Lin Jincheng has a formation protection. Even if I let you go, you will not be able to pass that layer of formation!"

"At least, let's try it?" Lin Tao insisted.

The guard sighed and said, "Then you try."

A gap was opened by the door, and Lin Tao was the first to get out. As soon as he walked four or five steps, he returned, as if he was traveling through a mirror, but the other side of the mirror was where he came.

Dong Wan'er looked at him, "Why are you back?"

Lin Tao frowned and tried again, but the moment he crossed the magic circle, he turned back, and he didn't even feel anything was wrong.

He had experienced this kind of magic circle restrictions personally once. The people in the formation tried thousands of times, and the result was the same. They would return to the starting point as they were.

Lin Tao's heart sank, knowing that he couldn't escape this time, so he winked at the people behind him and retreated to the city.

"How is it, I didn't lie to you?" said the guard.

Lin Tao and others returned to their temporary residence. At this time, it was dawn and the people in the city woke up one after another.

Lin Tao understood that if they stayed in the city for one more day, the danger would increase by 10%.

Their only advantage now is that the enemy is in the light and they are in the dark, and they are not exposing themselves.

All day long, news of the Zhou Mansion being destroyed continued to spread in the city.

When the people in the city woke up, they found that the city lord's mansion was disintegrated and they were not allowed to leave the city. They were all in panic.

In the afternoon of the same day, the City Lord's Mansion issued two City Lord's Orders, which was to temporarily take over Linjincheng, and not allow people in the city to enter and exit within a month, and all shops in the city will open freely, etc.

After seeing the two city lord orders, Lin Tao sighed. They were now equivalent to fish on the chopping board, waiting for them to come and open the pot.

Moreover, he couldn't figure out the strength of the group of people occupying the city lord's mansion. According to his estimate, there were at least a dozen fusion periods, or even more.

If they launch a rash attack, they are likely to go but never return.

But he was unwilling to sit and wait for death. These days, he looked for merchants who had trade with the city lord's mansion everywhere, trying to get information from them.

But like him, these people knew nothing about what happened that night, except for a medicinal maker who paid tribute to the city lord's mansion, they told him that the mansion needed more medicinal ingredient than usual.

"Do you know who is still loyal to the Zhou family?" Lin Tao planned to win over these people and fight against the Death Sect's Dead Sect together.

The medicinal material merchant lowered his head and shook his head and said, "The Zhou family is very unpopular. The guards and monks in the city are all dogs in the eyes of the Zhou family, so the Zhou family was destroyed. They would not be red-eyed and wanted to avenge the Zhou family. These people, their master's surname is Zhou or Mo, and they don't care at all."

"You just said that the mansion needs more medicinal materials than usual?"

The medicinal maker nodded: "That's the case. I used to send medicinal ingredients once every half month, but now I will send me once every three months. I was curious once and asked the person I contacted, why do you need so many medicinal ingredients? That person glared at me angrily and said that you shouldn't care, just pretend that you can't see it, and I dare not speak."

"Have you noticed that they mentioned any special elixir names?" Lin Tao thought to himself that since they needed a large amount of medicinal materials, it must be related to alchemy.

After hearing this, the medicinal material dealer just smiled and said, "I am just a businessman. As long as the goods can be sold at a price, it won't be the same for anyone to pay? These things have come to this point, and I just don't dare to think about them anymore."

Lin Tao knew that if he continued to talk, he would not be able to get any useful information, so he said, "Boss, I want to make a deal with you?"

The medicinal material merchant looked at Lin Tao suspiciously and said, "What kind of transaction do you want to do with me?"

"Take me to the city lord's mansion and this thing is yours." Lin Tao took out a bronze lotus-shaped plant.

The medicinal material merchant's eyes lit up, took it carefully, held it and studied for a long time, and then placed it near his nose and sniffed it.

"Wait a moment," he said, then hurried to the back hall. After a while, he had a book with a curled cover in his hand. After searching, he found a picture that was very similar to the plant on the back pages.

It records that this plant is called the Nine Turns Xuanbi, and one of them is reincarnated nine times before it can achieve the right result.

Growing in a world where no one is buried deep in the soil, it is generally not discovered by others.

Even if he discovers it, it may not be his true body that has gone through nine turns. Of course, this was also what he plundered from Ma Lao's palace.

Without further ado, Lin Tao also saw his interest in this Xuanbi, so he asked tentatively: "Help me once, this thing is yours."

The medicinal material dealer was obviously shaken, and Lin Tao said in a timely manner: "I'll follow you, I'll go wherever you go, I'll come out when you come out, and you don't have any risks."

In fact, few people who do big business dare not take risks. The medicinal material merchant gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, but I have agreed with you in advance that you are not allowed to speak after entering, you cannot run around, you must obey my commands in everything."

Lin Tao said in his heart, it would be strange if I want to obey your command, but on the surface he smiled and said, "No problem."

The next day, he changed into the clothes of the medicinal ingredient shop and followed the medicinal ingredient vendor.

Only then did he realize that the medicinal material merchant’s surname was Gu and had been in business with the city lord’s mansion for more than ten years.

Lin Tao followed Boss Gu, hiding the aura of a monk, lowered his head, looking like he was angry and beaten.

Boss Gu looked at Lin Tao's appearance and felt quite satisfied. He looked like a helper, so he didn't say anything.

After entering the gate of the city lord's mansion, Lin Tao felt a solemn and murderous aura.

No wonder, the Zhou family, which had a hundred or so people, was slaughtered overnight, so of course the mansion would not have any popularity.

They finally found a more cautious Death Sect Death Sect. Boss Gu went up and smiled and said, "Uncle, today's goods are here, will you verify it?"

The dead soldier opened the box, looked at it briefly, and nodded, "You used to handle the goods, I can trust them, and I won't check it this time."

He waved his hand and immediately came over to carry the box away.

Boss Gu stood there, his hands crossed together, looking like he was eager to speak but stopped.

"Is there anything wrong?" the dead man raised his eyebrows and asked.

"This... uncle, to be honest, our inventory has bottomed out, and other colleagues are not better than me. In the past, we had a special trading channel outside the city, but now..." Boss Gu did not tell the story of blocking Jincheng.

The dead man pondered for a moment and said, "I know all of you saying this. I need to react to the above and see what they mean."

Boss Gu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Then I'll have a hard time."

The dead soldier said "um" and stopped when he turned around and was about to leave, saying, "I forgot to say something. Please help me see if I can get these medicines?"

He looked around, and after confirming that there was no one, he handed a note that had been folded hundreds of times to Boss Gu's hand.

Boss Gu took the prescription and looked at it with concentration for a while, his eyebrows twisted together.

"This..." Boss Gu didn't know what to say for a moment. The medicines on the prescription were expensive and extremely rare, and they were priced but not in the market. It was really not easy to get the medicines on this order.

He was a little embarrassed. Looking at the death warrior in front of him, he seemed to have a low status in the Demon Sect and did not seem to be affordable.

What should he do if he gets the medicinal materials for this person, and then he stretches his neck and makes a fool of himself?

But if it doesn't, he will be troubled by this person in the future. Who knows how long these plague gods can stay in Jincheng?

The dead soldier saw that he was embarrassed and said, "Boss Gu, if you know, just say it, or I will ask someone else."

Boss Gu was about to answer "I don't know", and as soon as he opened his mouth, the prescription in his hand was snatched by Lin Tao. Lin Tao quickly glanced at the prescription and found that it was all life-sustaining pills, and couldn't help guessing who the pill was for.

Boss Gu's mind buzzed and almost exploded. Now he wanted to let Lin Tao get out quickly.

Before coming, he repeatedly told Lin Tao that he would be happy if he didn't listen to him.

The dead soldier looked at Lin Tao. No matter how he looked, he was a helping guy. He didn't believe he could understand the prescription, but out of curiosity, he asked: "Who is this?"

Boss Gu forced a smile and said, "Hehe, this is the newly hired friend from our hall. I don't understand the rules. I'm sorry, uncle."

The dead soldier said "Oh" and took the order back and was about to leave, but heard Lin Tao shouting behind him: "Qiankui, Shumeng, Baiqianzi... The patient is now hanging these medicines with a breath of true energy. This disease has probably been at least three years, right?"

Hearing this, the dead soldier's legs could no longer move. He slowly turned around, with excitement in his voice: "How did you know?"

"According to ancient medical skills, the medicines you want are all prescriptions that can kill life. The last one is even more violent, and it is a guide to treating a dead horse as a living horse. So I infer that the person you want to save this prescription has been for at most three years, and I'm afraid I can't make the world come true at this moment."

The dead soldier's face changed slightly, and Lin Tao continued to speak.

Based on the medication, Lin Tao analyzed the patient's symptoms very well, and the dead soldier nodded from time to time to agree.

After saying that, the dead man pondered for a while and said, "This... little brother, is there any way to cure my brother's illness?"

When Lin Tao heard this, he said, "If the patient is a mortal, prepare for his funeral. If the patient is a monk, the sooner the treatment, the better!"
