Chapter 269 Drinking Poison
Chapter 269 Drinking Poison
The two of them no longer wanted to linger and left box 11 directly, following box 126 back to the room.
When the two came out of the room again, they had changed into a brand new mask and outerwear.
"Please follow me." No. 126 said with some disappointment.
The God of Wealth was about to leave, but she still led the two people behind her to a teleportation array that led out of the market town.
Wang Qiye turned around and threw 126 spirit stones to No. 100, then stepped onto the teleportation array without looking back.
No. 126 was overjoyed and bowed low. "Thank you very much, both of you."
In a flash of white light, the two disappeared in the black market.
……
When Wang Qiye's eyesight was able to recognize things, the two of them appeared in a desolate wilderness, surrounded by weeds and three or two big trees.
Duanmu Lan simply identified a direction and fled in that direction first, with Wang Qiye following closely behind.
After they walked for five or six miles, they took off their disguises, burned them with fire, took out their Lingxi Valley attire, and put them on.
Duanmu Lan released her flying carpet again. After the two of them sat on it, Duanmu Lan lifted the carpet into the air with a swagger and flew straight towards Lingxi Valley. She was no longer flying close to the ground and was cautious like when she came here.
With the tiger skin of Lingxi Valley on his body, he behaves in such a unrestrained manner.
This place is less than three days' journey away from Lingxi Valley, and no cultivator has dared to run wild here and harm the cultivators of Lingxi Valley.
After all, this is the world of cultivation, and the cultivators here are not charlatans. They can tell who did it by just counting on their fingers the cause and effect of life and death. Before the person can escape far, he is caught up by those cultivators who claim to be seeking revenge for their fellow disciples.
A casual cultivator who had just left the black market saw the two and showed envy. He didn't have the tiger skin of Lingxi Valley, so he was killed, but no one would avenge him. He didn't dare to stay, so he chose a direction, put on a speeding talisman, and left quickly.
The journey was peaceful. After all, Lingxi Valley's reputation was not exaggerated. Duanmu Lan flew on the flying carpet for two days and arrived at Qingshi Pavilion.
Wang Qiye has been living a peaceful life these past two days. He no longer dared to hug the quiet woman's waist. He was afraid that the fragrance on her body would be too strong and he would not be able to explain it.
The two people who returned with a full load had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the Qingshi Pavilion. They boarded the cloud boat ferry and took the fast channel blessed by the Lingxi Valley formation to fly across continents.
After a transfer in the middle, it took two hours to cross the distance between the two areas and return to Qingzhu Peak.
As soon as she returned to the alchemy room, Duanmu Lan rushed into her room without even saying hello, and impatiently took out a bottle of fourth-level poison from her storage bag. She didn't even bother to read the label, and opened the bottle impatiently, tilted her head back and took a small sip.
As soon as she took a sip of the poison, it showed its extremely toxicity and quickly spread throughout her body. In a moment, her originally rosy skin quickly turned black, and her eyelids and lips turned purple.
This fourth-level poison is really not to be underestimated. It is so toxic.
Normally, a poisoned knife would be enough to knock down a fourth-level cultivator with just three cuts, but she just drank a small sip of the poison.
The fierce poison was destroying her body. No matter how strong her resistance to poison was, she felt uncomfortable all over. The heart-wrenching pain in her body made her tremble all over. She rolled on the ground unconsciously, and the sweat on her forehead was black. Her hands were tearing off her clothes with all their strength, as if only by doing so could she relieve the fierce poison.
As the technique was running, white gas came out of her body, her mouth opened wide, like a fish jumping onto the shore, breathing heavily. But the sweat was pouring down like rain, and she looked like she had just been pulled out of the water.
The pain made her grit her teeth and she scratched the stone tiles, leaving bloody marks. The blood stains left on the tiles were all black and emitted a foul odor.
If her hands hadn't been grabbing something randomly and the white smoke hadn't stopped coming out of her body, I would have thought she had been poisoned to death.
As time went by, the white mist around her became more and more, and she was already surrounded in it, but the mist kept surging and did not stop. It was as if there was something in it that had been tortured to madness. Except for the painful whispers, it proved that she was still alive. The miserable scene was unbearable to look at.
Perhaps she was too exhausted to struggle and just let herself collapse on the ground. There was no sound in the mist for a long time, but the mist did not decrease but increased instead.
Slowly, her dark lips began to show some color, and the dark skin on her body began to fade.
Her lips turned back into an alluring red, and the black all over her body had faded away, returning her skin to its former moisturized state, becoming fair and rosy.
But she hasn't woken up yet. Instead, the white smoke on her skin has become more and more, and her skin is getting redder and redder, as if an extremely high temperature is emanating from her body.
At this moment, she was like a cooked lobster, her whole body was horribly red. In the end, the high temperature actually ignited her clothes, but it didn't hurt her at all.
If someone came in at this moment, they would be able to feast their eyes. The naked graceful figure of an unmarried girl made the room full of spring.
Duanmu Lan felt as if he was floating in the air, as if he was lying in the clouds, rolling around in comfort.
The feeling of ascending from hell to heaven was so comfortable that she moaned twice in her sleep, which made her feel better.
The heat on her body had not yet subsided and she had not woken up yet, but seeing the smile on her face while she was sleeping and saliva hanging from the corners of her mouth, I thought her dream must have been beautiful.
By dinner time, Duanmu Lan had not come out yet, which made Lei Siyu suspicious and looked very unhappy.
Wang Qiye quickly took out the fifth-level formation carving knife and handed it over with a smile.
Only then did her expression improve. "You still have some conscience."
Lei Siyu opened the box with joy and played with the fifth-level carving knife in her hand, unable to let it go for a moment.
Wang Qiye took out another box and looked around, but he couldn't find Hu Mingyue. He felt a little strange. "It's time for dinner, why isn't she here?"
"Where's the Second Madam?"
Shuanghua rolled her eyes at him and said with some distress. "Miss hasn't eaten at home for a long time. Ever since your new store opened, second- and third-level talismans and formations were half price for the first three months, and three second-level talismans were given for free when you bought a second-level magic weapon, Miss was so busy sometimes that she didn't even have time to eat, and sometimes she had to work all night to make talismans."
Wang Qiye felt a little distressed when he heard this. "That won't do. Her health is more important. Let her work until the evening. Don't let her work all night. Let her colleagues help with the remaining work. It's okay to lose a little money. There's no need to ruin her health."
After Wang Qiye finished speaking, he handed over the wooden box containing the talisman pen. "Give this pen to the young lady and tell her not to let anyone see it. After all, we bought it on the black market, so we should keep a low profile. I don't think anyone would dare to come to Lingxi Valley to ask for it, but we don't want to let everyone know about it."
Shuanghua took it with a sweet smile. "Yes, son-in-law."
"Oh, right." Wang Qiye took out another spiritual fruit tree from his storage bag and placed it on the table. "Shuanghua, plant this spiritual tree on Qinghu Peak tomorrow. We will plant a few more in the future and try to plant all the trees on the barren mountain behind."
"Okay, son-in-law." Shuanghua smiled beautifully, put the white jade sour plum fruit tree into the storage bag, and prepared to set off tomorrow morning to plant it.
Lei Siyu put down the carving knife in his hand and frowned. "Why plant it in Qinghu Peak? Qinglei Peak is so big, can't even a spiritual tree be planted?"
Wang Qiye just remembered this, and sweat broke out on his forehead. He just thought habitually and didn't think about it. As a result, Lei Siyu didn't know what was wrong with her today, and she was jealous.
"Let's eat." Ruyi shouted, opened the lunch box and placed the food on the table.
Wang Qiye looked at Ruyi with gratitude. The maid was the most considerate. "Ruyi, how is the business of our new store in the first month?" Wang Qiye quickly changed the subject.
Ruyi smiled and replied, "Son-in-law, your method is really effective. We have sold more than half of those magic tools. But now our Yueyu Tower has become famous. We can barely cope with the business of talismans and formations this month. If the second and third level talismans and formations are still half price next month, our young lady can still hold on, but I think the second lady will not be able to hold on."
As expected, when they started talking about their own business, Lei Siyu, who was picking up food with chopsticks, also became interested.
Wang Qiye took a sneak peek and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Tomorrow we will recruit two second-level talisman masters and one second-level formation master. Don't let the ladies do the second-level stuff anymore. Leave it to them. Tell the two talisman masters that whoever does the best job in the past two months will stay."
Ruyi nodded. "My son-in-law is really thoughtful. This way, the second-level blood and formation materials we seized can be considered as waste. However, if we sell one of the third-level items, it will be a waste of work. Although it will not lose the cost, isn't it a bit thankless?"
Wang Qiye smiled indifferently. "Look at the long term. After all, we are a new store that has just opened for a month. How can we compare with the old store that has been in business for a hundred years? It doesn't matter if we lose some money. Let's build our reputation first. There is no rush to sell those groceries. Our Yueyu Tower will still rely on talismans, formations, and elixirs to support it in the future."
But Lei Siyu obviously didn't care about that. "Ruyi, how much did we earn this month?"
Ruyi responded quickly. "Miss, this month we have a total income of 1136.4 million. My son-in-law spent 722.5 million spirit stones on the black market this time. This month, he purchased nearly 20 spirit stones of fourth-level talisman heart blood, formation materials, and herbs. Now we have 27.5 spirit stones and 366.4 million contribution points in our account."
Lei Siyu nodded in satisfaction and took a bite of the dish.
