Chapter 96 Don't overthink it, there's no turning back.
You Yu sat to the side and mumbled, "President Dan refined a Pure Jade Silver Frost Grass for him to temporarily slow the spread of the poison, which can sustain him for another three months. As long as the pill is successfully refined within three months, the poison can be cured."
Qin Zhen nodded, sitting silently, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Wang Laoba paced back and forth, looking at Qin Zhen as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
He sighed heavily and found a stool to sit down.
"Hahaha, what a rare sight! There's actually something that makes even Lord Wang sigh!"
A woman in red walked in through the door. Her voice was sharp and cheerful, and it was clear at a glance that she was not someone to be trifled with.
"Come, come, tell your third sister who made things difficult for you. Your third sister will help you get revenge."
The woman's eyes were long and alluring, as lively as almonds, and full of unique charm.
Wang Laoba hurriedly shook his head. He couldn't afford to offend any of them now, and he dared not offend any of them, especially not the young girl.
"Second brother, fifth brother, eighth brother, you go and rest first. I'll take care of things here."
Qin Zhen shook his head: "It's okay, we're not tired. I'm worried until I see my brother wake up."
"Alright, let's wait here together. Have you found Fourth Brother and Seventh Brother yet?"
Dugu Qing, You Yu, Zhu Wan, Ke Chengdong, Qin Zhen, Shi Jing, Ke Zhenxi, and Wang Zhong (also known as Wang Laoba) were collectively called the Eight Eccentrics of the Misty Land.
The one lying on the bed was Dugu Qing.
The fourth and seventh brothers are Ke Chengdong and Ke Chengxi, also known as Lao Ke and Xiao Ke.
"No! Probably not! They've been in there for almost three months. There's hardly anyone who can stay in a toxic fog zone for three months."
Qin Zhen became increasingly guilty as he spoke.
Zhu Wan is straightforward but also meticulous, and quickly noticed the flaws and his emotions.
Looking around, he noticed the uneasy expressions on the three faces and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Is there something I can't know? Something I have to keep from you?"
The three heads immediately turned into a rattle drum.
No one dares to try her methods lightly; anyone who does must be prepared to lose their life at any moment.
"Eighth Brother, you tell us!"
Wang Laoba looked at this person and then that person, closed his eyes and recounted his experience in the poisonous fog zone in detail, not daring to omit anything. Qin Zhen would occasionally try to correct him if he made any mistakes.
After Wang Laoba finished speaking, Zhu Wan remained silent for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "So you're worried that I'll make a move?"
"Um... how about I go watch the alchemy master refine pills first?"
Wang Laoba got up and tried to run away.
"Heh, if you dare step out of this door, I'll break your short legs. How about we test how hard your leg bones are, hmm?"
Zhu Wan glanced at him, seemingly unconcerned.
Wang Laoba twisted his waist and chuckled awkwardly, "Well, I just got up to do some exercise, and my back is a little sore."
Zhu Wan ignored his attempts to make amends and turned to look at You Yu.
"Second brother, do you think we should capture that little girl and show her to eldest brother?"
You Yu hesitated, then, seeing Zhu Wan staring at her, quickly avoided her gaze and turned to Qin Zhen for help.
Qin Zhen glanced at it, then turned his head away as if he hadn't seen it.
You Yu quickly lowered her head and replied in a low voice, "I, I, I think we shouldn't go looking for her for the time being. She, she's both hard to deal with and easy to deal with. We can't catch her, but we can make a deal with her."
Wang Laoba hurriedly chimed in, "Yes, yes, that girl is really strange. If she hadn't shown mercy, you probably wouldn't even have found my body."
Qin Zhen nodded. If she had delayed the transaction by even a cup of tea's time, Wang Laoba would have been dead without a doubt.
Did the alchemy master say what percentage of certainty he was confident?
"Fifty percent!"
Qin Zhen hesitated for a moment before offering words of comfort: "If things really don't work out with Master Dan, I'll contact that girl again. I have her communication jade. I mentioned it to her before I left, and there might be a deal we can do together."
Wang Laoba rubbed his hands together, walked up to him, and said excitedly, "How could I not have thought of that? Qin Zhen, it has to be you."
Qin Zhen was very pleased with the admiration in You Yu's eyes.
He could only see that look in You Yu's eyes when she was You Yu; once she became someone else, he couldn't bear it.
Zhu Wan gradually fell silent.
If the eldest brother knew that Lao Ke and Xiao Ke died while searching for the antidote for him, he would probably feel extremely guilty and would rather die himself.
"You can find some time to build a relationship with that girl first. When you need her help, she'll be more willing to agree."
Qin Zhen simply nodded without saying anything more.
He had a feeling that if he gave her enough, the girl would come.
He took out the communication jade and sent a message to Tu Shan.
After a while, I didn't receive a reply, so I assumed she was busy.
Tu Shan saw the message but didn't reply, nor did she want to.
She's not stupid; they're all at the Nascent Soul stage. No matter how powerful she is, she's still afraid of a lot of kitchen knives.
The opponent wasn't a kitchen knife, but an invincible iron sword, each strike leaving a hole, giving no chance to defend.
She's fragile; she has neither fighting prowess nor defense. She should play it safe and develop her strength first.
If you can avoid it, then avoid it; if you really can't avoid it, then we'll see what happens.
"Tu Shan, what are you afraid of? With me here, no one will dare to do anything to you."
After signing the contract, she made no secret of her intention to make money.
In her view, even with a contract in place, they still need to cultivate a tacit understanding.
In the event of encountering a top-tier expert, there can be no mistakes. Mutual understanding can prevent many problems and achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"Yes, I believe you, but we don't need to take any risks. Let's go find the Boundless Water of the Green Roots first."
"I've been in this toxic fog area for hundreds of years, and I've never heard of any Bigen Wuyin Water."
"Of course you don't know, that place is too secluded and special, and no one or no monster can reach it."
"Then why are you going to your death?"
Tu Shan rolled her eyes when she heard his words.
What do you mean by "going to your death"?
Is she the kind of person who would risk her life for a treasure?
No.
Having already died once, she wouldn't do anything she wasn't sure of.
"You'll definitely like that place, and of course I do too."
"is it?"
"You'll see when you go!"
"Row!"
"Let's go then!"
The further you go in, the lower the visibility becomes.
Everything was a white blur. Apart from the toxic fog in the air, the black earth beneath her feet, and the money-sucking body on her shoulders, she could see nothing else.
Stop and immediately absorb the toxic fog into the space.
Everything within a one-meter radius is within sight.
Countless tiny, light blue caterpillars, each the size of a little finger, hang in the air.
hiss!
She gasped.
Mom!
I'm going crazy!
My scalp is tingling.
She now suspects that she is covered in these light blue caterpillars.
"Money-making machine, quick, quick, help me check if I have these caterpillars on my body?"
What she feared most were these soft-bodied, densely packed little monsters.
She's so beautiful, yet she could take her life.
"Can this thing be burned?"
"No, don't underestimate him just because he's young. His cultivation level is higher than yours, dear!"
"What? Their cultivation level is higher than mine? What rank of demon beasts are they?"
"Fourth tier!"
"Grass!"
Tu Shan is really going to become withdrawn.
She was able to lure a group of toads who were more powerful than her.
What can this caterpillar do now?
Do you appreciate it?
to death?
Is it too late to go back now?
"Don't overthink it, there's no turning back now."
