Back at Zuixianlou, Murong Yu asked, "Aqing, is there anything wrong with those people at the city gate?"
Mu Qing nodded: "There are some problems, but it's not their problem, nor is there anything wrong with their goods."
"They had a black, foul odor about them, as if they had come into contact with something bad, but I'm not entirely sure."
Seeing the worry on Mu Qing's face, Murong Yu said, "Don't worry, Qing. We'll go to the city again tomorrow. We'll find some clues eventually."
Mu Qing nodded and said, "Okay."
The plague demon, after wandering around Dan City, discovered that the city's aura was indeed the smell it hated most.
The entire city was filled with the aroma of elixirs and spiritual herbs.
The plague demon laughed, "Hehehe, hehehe."
It wanted to give the people of Dancheng a surprise; a black, foul odor emanated from its body, enveloping the entire city.
The black aura was inhaled into the bodies of mortals with each breath, and into the bodies of cultivators with each breath of spiritual energy.
In the entire city of Dan, no one survived except for Mu Qing and Murong Yu.
The next day, everyone in Dan City, whether mortals or cultivators, felt heavy-hearted, and even high-level cultivators were not much better off.
Because cultivators with higher cultivation levels absorb more black energy into their bodies. Since it is not a poison and there is no antidote, it becomes entangled with spiritual energy and cannot be separated and expelled on its own, making it difficult to mobilize spiritual power.
The symptoms in ordinary people are also obvious: dizziness, headache, and weakness all over the body. Many children even fall into a coma with high fever.
When the pill shops in Dancheng opened, each shop was surrounded by people, all of whom were buying pills.
Moreover, they all treat the same symptom.
The disciple in charge of selling pills at the Dancao Sect keenly sensed that this matter was unusual.
He immediately sent a message to the outer sect manager of Dancao Sect, who then reported the matter to Nangong Tianci's master, Qingsang Zhenren.
Upon learning this, Master Qingsang instructed his apprentice to inform Nangong Tianci to accompany him down the mountain to investigate the situation in Dancheng.
After opening the jade box given to him by Murong Yu last night, Nangong Tianci was so shocked that he sat up all night and is still somewhat dazed.
Originally, he also had the idea of going to Zuixianlou to find Murong Yu and the others. After receiving the message from the medicine boy, he collected some medicine and took Rabbit Xiaoxiao with him to Qingsang Zhenren's cave.
When Master Qingsang saw that Nangong Tianci was with Tu Xiaoxiao, he didn't say anything and led the two of them down the mountain.
Soon, the three arrived in Dan City.
Before even entering Dan City, they felt an aura that made them very uncomfortable.
Master Qing Sang, Nangong Tianci, and Little Rabbit all frowned. The Ear Mouse reacted the most, barking loudly towards Dan City, "Woof woof, woof woof woof."
"Something unusual has happened in Dan City," Qing Sang Zhenren and Nangong Tianci said in unison.
The two exchanged a glance and then decided to enter Dan City.
Originally, Nangong Tianci wanted Tu Xiaoxiao to stay outside, but Tu Xiaoxiao insisted on coming with them, so Nangong Tianci let her have her way.
After all, in the world of cultivation, facing danger is inevitable if you want to go far, and even alchemists are no exception.
"I wonder what caused this anomaly in Dan City, what this uncomfortable aura is, is it a natural disaster or a man-made one?" Master Qing Sang pondered to himself.
