Chapter 171: Poison Valley "Living Immortal"
Chapter 171: Poison Valley "Living Immortal"
Wang Yanzhi's three fathers were very helpful and put a lot of effort into welcoming the book, especially his third father, Duan Qianren, the "No. 1 grain merchant in Yunqi".
Since he and Jiang Fuqiu had no children of their own, he used half of his savings to support Wang Yanzhi, which moved Jiang Fuqiu so much that she moved from Wang's house to Duan's house that same day.
In addition, Liu Baichuan had obtained Jiang Fuqiu's approval, and he added a heavy touch to the welcoming letter to show his sincerity.
At the same time, Emperor Qingyuan had been constantly assigning tasks to Wang Yanzhi and rewarding him according to his merits. He transferred 70% of the treasures in the private treasury to him and awarded him five additional villas.
Although the area of the several courtyards is not too large, the layout and furnishings inside are all exquisite. All the stone railings in the courtyard are made of white marble, and each railing is engraved with lifelike reliefs.
These rewards were far beyond the standards of his status, which immediately made him feel suspicious.
Recalling the way Emperor Qingyuan looked at him and his preference for him, Wang Yanzhi could no longer hold back and expressed his doubts to Jiang Fuqiu.
"Mother, what is your relationship with the emperor?" Wang Yanzhi's eyes moved slightly, and he waited for the answer he wanted with a serious expression.
"It doesn't matter."
Jiang Fuqiu didn't even open her eyelids. She held the pruning shears firmly in her hand and cut off the dead and diseased branches in the flower bed one by one. Her voice was clear but cold with a hint of weariness.
Seeing Wang Yanzhi standing there motionless like a pillar, she stopped what she was doing, straightened her back, looked at him obscurely and said, "The emperor once owed your father a favor, and perhaps he wants to repay his debt through your marriage. Don't think too much."
"What favor?" Wang Yanzhi had never heard his family mention this matter.
"Can we just ask about the emperor's affairs?" Jiang Fuqiu said this and turned back to the house, leaving Wang Yan alone in the yard lost in thought.
When he looked up again, the doubts in his heart had been eliminated.
Wang Guizhang treated Wang Yanzhi as his own son, so that Wang Yanzhi would not and would not want to doubt his own background from all sides.
After Mu Yao returned to Lanling County, the first thing she did was go to Dan Mansion.
Xiao Douxue didn't expect that she would come to him on her own initiative, and the upward curve in the corners of his eyes never subsided.
He carefully read the list Mu Yao gave him word by word. There were several rare herbs that Lanling County did not have. He said with embarrassment, "Madam, we don't have Cistanche and Ganoderma Lucidum here. We have to get them from other branches. As for this 'Living God', I know there is one in the Poison Valley."
Living immortals are extremely hard to find. Dan Pavilion once had one. When his mother was pregnant with him, the fetus was unstable, so his father used it to make pregnancy pills.
"My dear, who did you make this anti-aging pill for?" Xiao Douxue asked. Living immortals are too precious, so why not replace them with other varieties?
Mu Yao was silent. She had not expected that "living immortals" were so rare in Yunqi. In her original world, although this medicine was not common, it could still be found as long as one was willing to spend money.
"Yaoyao, if you want to be a living immortal, just find a way to get one. Stop talking so much." Xiao Jingxing glanced at his son with disappointment.
She is already in a weak position, but she still doesn't behave well. It's rare for a daughter-in-law to come to her house and ask for medicine. Can she be refused? Even if it's impossible, she should know how hard she has worked. Women often care about the process rather than the result. She doesn't even understand such a simple truth!
But in this respect, it is very similar to when he was young. By the time he got wise, the person he loved had already become a stranger.
But his son is more resourceful than him, knows how to strike first, and is much more shameless than him.
Yue Baisu also felt that what Xiao Jingxing said was absolutely right. She echoed and added: "Dou Xue, take Yaoyao to the Poison Valley. It's just a Rejuvenating Pill. A fairy whisker of a living immortal is enough. We can exchange the treasure with them."
Xiao Douxue's face was almost unbearable, with blue and red constantly alternating on his face.
Sometimes he really doubted whether he was their biological son!
Are they old and their eyesight is not good or their minds are degenerating? Haven't you seen the color of Shi Jingchan's face?
Taking his wife to the Poison Valley? Is he going to look for medicine? Is he sending a wife to Shi Jingchan?
"Dad, Mom, don't worry. I have my own way." Xiao Douxue suppressed his trembling face and restrained the anger rising in his heart.
Xiao Jingxing was so angry. How could he not want such a good opportunity to be alone?
I immediately made the decision for him and said to Mu Yao, "Daughter-in-law, go to the Poison Valley with Douxue to relax and enjoy the scenery along the way. We will be there in a few days. The owner of the Poison Valley and I are old friends. When the time comes, you can take my letter with you. I believe he will not even give you this little face. There are many treasures in there! If there is anything you like, write it down and tell me later, and I will get it for you."
"Dad, my injury hasn't healed yet!" Xiao Douxue was furious. The damage his father had caused him was much more severe than that caused by Shen Chutang!
Yue Baisu didn't agree when he heard this. He raised his voice and pointed at Xiao Douxue and scolded him, "You took the panacea yesterday for nothing! This injury is nothing. You're just complaining for no reason."
In order to help Xiao Douxue get better faster, Xiao Jingxing and Yue Baisu used all the Wanling Pills passed down from their ancestors on him. There were only three Wanling Pills, and the recipe had long been lost.
Mu Yao was struggling fiercely in her heart. On the one hand, she wanted the treasure, and on the other hand, Wei Wushang's words kept flashing in her mind.
Living immortal, living immortal, living immortal.
Danger, danger, danger.
Seeing Mu Yao tense and looking down without saying a word, Yue Baisu pulled her hand and added fuel to the fire.
"There are more than just living immortals in the Poison Valley. There are also many medicinal herbs grown there that cannot be seen outside. Some of the medicinal herbs in our Dan Pavilion are purchased from them. You and Douxue are now the helmsmen of our Dan Pavilion, so you have to go there sooner or later to take a look."
Xiao Jingxing and Yue Baisu tried their best to persuade him, while Xiao Douxue tried his best to stop him. The three of them were arguing with each other.
As Mu Yao listened, her head felt as if it was filled with paste and she felt dizzy and swollen.
She wanted to go but didn't want to go, and her attitude wavered with their argument.
The result is obvious. The arm can never be stronger than the thigh, and Xiao Douxue is completely defeated.
God willing!
Mu Yao looked at Xiao Jingxing and Yue Baisu and nodded silently.
Xiao Jingxing didn't know that Mu Yao made the anti-aging pill for Emperor Qingyuan. If he knew, he would definitely slap himself thirteen times to tell him to stop talking!
