Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 227 Disguise Pill

Guan Xun and his companion quickly reached the entrance to the third floor.

Bai Ze was severely injured and unable to walk. Because of its unusually large size, Zhao Gui had to carry it on his shoulder.

Their attire was quite eye-catching in the crowd.

Guan Xun suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Zhao Gui, whose brows were furrowed, and asked, "You seem distracted. Are you still worried that those guys will cause trouble afterward?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gui nodded solemnly: "Do you remember the identity documents we registered when we first joined the Chamber of Commerce? Anyone with a keen eye can easily find them. If someone from the Three Halls is involved, they can simply send someone to take a look and find out who we are."

"Sigh, I don't really care, but I'm afraid this matter will implicate the Chamber of Commerce. After all, those people are innocent and have no idea what happened."

Guan Xun said in a calm tone: "There is no need to worry too much about this matter. If they really come to cause trouble because of the trading market, wouldn't that just confirm that they took action at the trading market? The three halls do not have a good relationship, so how could they let go of this opportunity to suppress us?"

“If you’re really worried…” she said, glancing at the Bai Ze she was carrying on her shoulder, “I’ll send someone to check on the Chamber of Commerce after we get out.”

"Send someone?" Zhao Gui was a little confused. From the time he first met the girl until now, he had only ever seen her alone. There had never been anyone else with her.

He subconsciously looked around, wondering if the girl had some skilled bodyguards protecting her.

Guan Xun chuckled lightly and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Zhao Gui naturally couldn't say anything more, and felt that he had worried too much.

After the two walked down the stairs, they arrived at the entrance to the third floor.

Unlike the other two floors, this place was guarded by two unfathomable old men at the entrance. They were dressed in gray robes, had kind faces, and seemed particularly easy to talk to.

However, the two elderly guards were actually several times stronger than Zhao Gui.

"The third level is full of the most precious treasures; you have to show your strength to get in," Zhao Gui said in a low voice.

Therefore, there are no ordinary people inside.

Guan Xun glanced at Bai Ze, thought for a moment, and then said, "You wait here for a while, I'll be out soon."

Bai Ze is a divine beast, but it resembles a ghostly white deer. Ordinary people may not be able to see its true identity, but if there is someone with profound experience and great strength, then it is hard to say.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, it's better to let them stay outside.

She tugged at her black robe, and as she continued walking forward, she revealed her aura without reservation.

The two elderly men quickly glanced at her, then chuckled and did not stop her.

As soon as you enter the hall, a rich aroma of medicine wafts over you.

Medicinal herbs that can produce a medicinal fragrance must be at least ten thousand years old, and such a rich fragrance indicates the abundance of rare medicinal herbs here.

A young woman approached and greeted him politely with a cupped hand and a smile, "Sir, you look unfamiliar. This must be your first time coming down to the third floor."

Guan Xun raised an eyebrow, finding it somewhat amusing. How could the other party determine that she was unfamiliar with him, given that he was covered from head to toe?

"Is this third floor only for regular customers?" she asked in a low voice.

The woman was taken aback at first, then quickly shook her head: "What are you saying, sir? I was just asking casually."

Those who could make it down to the third floor were no pushovers, and the woman naturally didn't want to offend them. However, she rarely encountered such an aggressive guest.

In the few seconds it took to talk to the woman, Guan Xun had already noticed no fewer than dozens of subtle gazes coming from hidden corners, scrutinizing her from head to toe.

"There really are many powerful people here." She muttered to herself before following the woman inside.

Compared to the others, this hall was not particularly spacious, but its decoration was completely different, using mahogany materials, which inevitably appeared somewhat eerie under the firelight.

There are very few people here, only a handful at a glance. Apart from the threshold of strength, the conditions for exchanging things here must be beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The woman paused slightly, then gestured with her hand towards the hall: "I wonder what you need, sir? I can provide you with some information."

Upon hearing this, Guan Xun didn't hesitate. Although the hall wasn't as big as the two floors above, she was too lazy to waste time walking around. She said, "I need something that can disguise me."

"A disguise item..." the woman muttered, showing no surprise or other expression. After thinking carefully, she said, "You're really lucky. Among the items traded on these three floors today, there just happens to be a disguise pill."

"Oh?" Guan Xun's eyes lit up. If he had known this would happen, he should have come down to the third floor directly. He wasted so much time on the top two floors.

"My lord, please follow me," the woman said with a smile, and walked straight toward the corner on the east side of the hall.

Soon they stopped in front of a wooden platform. The woman gestured for them to proceed and then left with a smile.

The wooden platform is not wide, but it is very long.

People sitting at irregular intervals were trading things.

On the wooden table were scattered various medicinal herbs, scrolls, pills, and weapons; none of them were ordinary items.

Several people were standing around the pile of medicinal herbs, clearly very interested in them.

"Hehe, old man, I've been picking your toes all morning. Looks like business isn't good," a seller with some free time joked idly.

"What nonsense are you talking about! You arrived later than me, and you're still picking your toes."

"Sigh, don't even mention it. Those guys have no taste. The age and quality of my medicinal herbs are top-grade treasures! How dare someone question their age? Isn't that absurd???"

"Hey, are you sure the age is really enough?" Someone nearby couldn't help but chime in.

The person being criticized got angry and glared at him: "Yours is also being rejected because people think it's too expensive! Go pick your toes and don't bother me!"

Guan Xun glanced at the group of people arguing and spitting as they spoke, then turned his gaze back to the table in the center of his face.

There weren't many things on the table: two porcelain vases and two medicinal herbs.

One of them was a small black tree about the size of a palm, its surface covered with dark red blood-like patterns, its gnarled branches devoid of leaves, wrapped with golden-red filaments, and its heartwood containing a shriveled, crimson blood core, emitting a faint smell of blood.

This is the Bloodheart Wood, which combines extreme cold and extreme heat.

Its blood core is covered with an amber-like gelatinous substance, and its edges are shrouded in dark shadows. It is the king of blood heart wood that is millions of years old, the priceless Huangyou blood heart wood!

There really are some good things here; I've actually come across such a rare item.

She raised her gaze and it fell on the gray-haired old woman sitting at the wooden table.

The old woman was slovenly dressed and had a lazy expression on her face. She was sitting cross-legged on the ground, leaning against the wall behind her, picking at her nails as if no one else was around.

The old woman didn't even look up. After picking at her nails and ears, she said, "What are you looking at? If you're not going to buy anything, don't block the way here."

After speaking impatiently, he glanced at the person looking at the things.

Guan Xun's gaze narrowed slightly. She couldn't quite sense the old woman's aura. If she wasn't deliberately concealing it, then it could only mean that this person's strength was much greater than hers.

She frowned and asked, "How do I change the disguise pill?"

The old woman paused in her ear-picking motion, then glanced at her, picking her tongue against her teeth: "Disguise pill... a Heavenly Snow Lotus."

Guan Xun was slightly taken aback, thinking she had misheard. What a coincidence! She really did have this thing.
