Just ten minutes later, Liu Qingmin, the weakest member of the team at Level Two of the Physique Realm, suddenly spoke.

“Brothers, 1… 1 feel a little uncomfortable…”

The other six people all turned to look at Liu Qingmin and noticed that his face was slightly pale.

Soro frowned, “Did you have a stomachache?”

Logically speaking, a Physique Realm expert should not have a stomachache. However, as a treasure hunter in the team, Liu Qingmin often ate some strange plants to distinguish the medicinal properties. Getting food poisoning and having a stomachache was not uncommon.

Liu Qingmin shook his head and said, “It doesn’t seem like it…”

However, he still took out a packet of antidote powder and swallowed it.

Soon after, the second weakest person in the team, Dani, who was at Level Three of the Physique Realm, also felt dizzy.

This made Soro vaguely sense that something was amiss.

He glanced at the cave where Jing Yi had disappeared and then at Liu Qingmin and Dani, whose faces were pale and slightly distorted. Solo gritted his teeth and said, “The situation is not right. Let’s retreat.”

The others in the team had no objections.

One of the reasons why Soro’s exploration team had gained a reputation in the Ancient City was not just due to the formidable strength of its leader, Soro, but also because of the team’s unity.

Their motto of “Never Abandon, Never Give Up” was not just words; they truly lived by it. This made the seven-member team fearless in Archean City, and even the former Heaven Saber Gang and Divine Dao Gang gave Soro’s team some face.

Now that some of the team members were in trouble, Soro took charge without hesitation, deciding to retreat first to return to Archean City for treatment.

It was approaching afternoon.

Duncan yawned, ready for a change of duty.

He had made quite a haul today, with the highlight being the Eighth Grade Mortal Realm Source Stones given by the three mysterious individuals earlier in the morning.He had gained a lot today.

With this harvest in hand, Duncan had already made up his mind to go to the Drunken Flower Pavilion to “book” a table for the night.

As his imagination ran wild, he instinctively stretched out his hand to stop the few people who wanted to enter the city.

It was a group of five people.

All of them wore black robes and had their faces covered with hoods. This kind of attire, concealing their ident.i.ties, was quite popular in the chaotic Archean City, and Duncan was used to it.

“Entrance fee.”

The entrance fee was the whole point…

As long as they paid the entrance fee, Duncan did not care who they were.

The words “entrance fee” seemed to surprise these five individuals for a moment.

A m.u.f.fled voice came from their robes and entered Duncan’s ears.

“They charge an entrance fee for this place?”

“In this remote place, it’s normal for a poor villager to be greedy for money…”

Duncan remained silent when he heard this.

People from big clans… always had a sense of superiority.

Vaguely, Duncan seemed to see a strand of bright silver hair under the leader’s black robe. However, Duncan was not an expert on different races, nor did he want to spend the effort to determine which clan these five belonged to.

Five Mortal Realm First Level Source Stones landed in Duncan’s hand.

Seeing this, Duncan remained impa.s.sive, but inwardly, he felt a touch of disdain.

Even if they were from a big clan, they were still a bunch of cheapskates who would not even give a tip.

However, the entrance fee was indeed one Mortal Realm First Level Source Stone per person. So Duncan Duncan took the money and let them enter.

Unexpectedly, the leader of the group came closer and whispered,

“Brother, let me ask you something. Have you seen someone with a pale face, as if he was sick, recently?”

“Also, has anyone in the city been having nightmares recently?”

Duncan pondered for a moment and gave this person a look.

However, this person did not seem to understand…

This made Duncan frown… If you don’t know what’s good for you, how can I do anything for you?

In a curt tone, he said, “No.”

This person smiled and continued, “If you see anyone with a pale face enter the Archean City, please inform me. Oh, by the way, I live in the City Lord’s Manor.”

The words “City Lord’s Manor” made Duncan raise an eyebrow.

However, he saw that these five people had already entered the city.

After thinking for a moment, Duncan shook his head and did not dwell on the matter any further.

About ten minutes later, just when it was time for his s.h.i.+ft change, Duncan suddenly heard chaotic footsteps at the city gate.

It was Soro and his team carrying Liu Qingmin and Dani, rus.h.i.+ng into the city.

The seven members of Soro Exploration Team all had pale faces, as if they were seriously ill. Liu Qingmin and Dani’s bodies were limp, and their eyes were already rolled back.

This made Duncan recall what the black-robed man had said just now.

Before Duncan could think further, Soro had already thrown a Physique Realm Source Stone into Duncan’s hand.

At the same time, Soro’s voice sounded in Duncan’s ear, “Entry fee.”

This made Duncan raise an eyebrow and watch as Soro’s exploration team hurried into the city.

After thinking for a moment, Duncan could not help but shrug.

“I took someone’s money, I resolved his troubles.”

“Although 1 don’t know which large clan your Soro Exploration Team has provoked, but… Tsk, tsk, tsk. considering how generous you are, I, Duncan, will lend a hand.”

After changing s.h.i.+fts, Duncan walked away with a carefree att.i.tude, heading towards Flower Street.

As for everything that had just happened, it quickly faded away with the food, drink, and beauties that Duncan was about to enjoy.

Roxin accompanied Lu Ming and strolled around the City Lord Manor for several hours.

They admired the beautiful gardens and viewed the weapons and Source Power Skills in Roda’s collection.

Roxin was in high spirits, but Lu Ming’s enthusiasm was lacking – he really felt that this time would be better spent farming his attributes.

However, considering that the Nanxiang people were his fellow countrymen, and that Huo Sheng and the others also had a good relations.h.i.+p with him, dealing with the matter of establis.h.i.+ng contact with the Eternal Clan, which was of great significance to the Nanxiang people, was not inappropriate. Spending a day to handle this matter was acceptable.

Thus, he suppressed his desire to cultivate and wasted several hours of his time.

As evening approached, Huo Sheng and Roda had finally reached an agreement.

Seeing Ho Sheng’s satisfied smile, Lu Ming knew that the outcome was favorable.

“Roda is prepared to let Uncle Lu accompany a group of our people to cross the Hundred Thousand Mountains and reach the Aeonians.”

“Once we arrive there and establish contact with the Aeonians, they will send their experts to negotiate with us on this side.”

After saying this, Huo Sheng continued, “Moreover,Roda said that we can choose a piece of territory in the Archean City of Yagu as our residence, and with the Land G.o.d a.s.sociation here, safety will not be a problem.”

“The Land G.o.d a.s.sociation?”

Hearing this name, Lu Ming frowned and heard Huo Sheng laugh, saying, “This guild could be quite significant, and the matter doesn’t require your direct involvement. Uncle Lu and 1 can handle it.”

“It’s just that we need to borrow your name.”

Lu Ming did not mind lending his name.

After all, the Land G.o.d a.s.sociation had initially used his name, so now, having them contribute to the effort made perfect sense.

Lu Ming nodded and said, “You can make the decision.”

Huo Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

With this matter settled, Lu Ming, Huo Sheng, and Velo prepared to bid farewell and leave. Roda and Roxin naturally were there to see them off.

The five of them arrived at the entrance of the City Lord Manor. At this moment, the gatekeeper hurried over and whispered into Roda’s ear.

“City Lord, there are some people here looking for you, claiming to be your clansmen.”

“Oh, by the way, they handed over this token and said that when you see it, you’ll understand everything.”

Saying that, he handed over a jade pendant to Roda. As soon as Roda took it, his expression immediately changed.

He turned to look at Lu Ming and said solemnly, “Brother Lu, why don’t you rest here for another day before leaving?”

Lu Ming could vaguely sense the pleading look in Roda’s eyes, especially after hearing what the gatekeeper had said.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, “Alright..”
