Chapter 799 - 791: True or False
The Chief Steward froze for a moment. "But their injuries are very serious, and their strength hasn’t recovered."
Qiu Zhezhi naturally wasn’t worried about that. "Just use that kind of medicine on them."
The Chief Steward’s heart trembled; he naturally understood what medicine that was.
The backlash of that medicine was too strong. After drinking it, it could stimulate all of a person’s potential, instantly doubling their strength, and their combat power would become extremely powerful.
But it had a fatal effect: once the medicine was used and its power exhausted, that person would die.
If the effect was particularly good, then when that person died, they would even self-detonate.
This was something their Ant Clan Pharmacists had concocted after running all kinds of experiments using the blood of Mutated Beasts and Polluted Beasts mixed with various herbs.
Outsiders knew nothing about this.
But it was extremely dangerous, and their Pharmacists had very few of these medicines.
Use one bottle, waste one bottle.
He hadn’t expected the Eldest Young Master to choose to use it at this time.
"So what the Eldest Young Master means is, even if we make a move against that female, we don’t need to act ourselves, we let those two do it?"
Qiu Zhezhi said indifferently, "That way it doesn’t count as breaking the rules of my Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion."
"Besides, there are quite a few Thorn Flower Clan Beastmen still on the run. Have Ci Zhuo contact them, give them some weapons, it will be useful."
"What’s more, once they enter my Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion and learn its secrets, they naturally can’t be allowed to live."
Listening to the Eldest Young Master’s words, the Chief Steward’s face turned pale.
The Eldest Young Master was as ruthless in his methods as ever.
This was killing two birds with one stone.
In any case, they weren’t worried that Ci Zhuo and Luo Liefeng would refuse.
Because those two also hated Su Muyao and the others to the bone.
He understood that while the Eldest Young Master was luring Su Muyao into the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion for negotiations, he had already prepared to kill.
"However, since that female is an Immortal Phoenix Beastman, she naturally cannot be killed. The ones to be killed are her Beast Husbands."
The Chief Steward’s heart jolted. What did the Eldest Young Master mean?
"That Immortal Phoenix Bone and Immortal Phoenix Blood are indeed useful, but if she is that legendary female, then if her entire person were to be sacrificed, tell me—wouldn’t the problem in that place be completely resolved..."
The Eldest Young Master’s voice was faint, but as the Chief Steward listened, he realized something; cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
...
When Su Muyao and the others continued their stall, people from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion came looking for them.
They said the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had something to discuss with them.
The corner of Su Muyao’s lips hooked up slightly.
Like Jiang Taigong fishing—those willing will take the bait.
Teng Lixuan now reacted and understood why Su Muyao had so high-profile displayed the Purification Elixir.
From the very beginning, this had been intended to use it to lure out the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had always given people a very mysterious impression.
Although they were Ant Clan Beastmen, they rarely interacted with other races and did not interfere in other clans’ affairs.
They only guarded the territory of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Treasures Collection.
Ordinary Beastmen found it very difficult to come into contact with their higher-level Stewards.
Now Su Muyao’s Purification Elixir had drawn them out.
This was indeed Su Muyao’s superpower as well.
But this was certainly accompanied by danger.
It was just that, from Su Muyao’s expression, he could tell that she didn’t seem concerned about these things.
They entered the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
Su Muyao and the others were invited to a private room on the fourth floor.
The Chief Steward personally came to meet them.
As for their Eldest Young Master, he naturally was not convenient to show himself.
The Chief Steward had people serve water and pastries. "Miss Su, gentlemen, here’s the situation: our people bought one of your Purification Elixirs and found that its effect is excellent."
"I wonder if it would be possible to cooperate with Miss Su?"
"Of course, we will show our sincerity."
After understanding the Eldest Young Master’s attitude, the Chief Steward went straight to the point.
Su Muyao asked, "I don’t know what kind of cooperation you’re proposing, and what sincerity you’re offering?"
The Chief Steward was briefly stunned. He knew that among the Animal Beastmen, females had the final say.
But he hadn’t expected her to be this easy to talk to.
The Chief Steward fell silent for a moment, then said bluntly, "For example, the formula of the Purification Elixir—would Miss Su be willing to sell it?"
After he finished speaking, the Chief Steward kept observing Su Muyao’s expression.
He found that this female was so composed that from the moment she began speaking, her face hadn’t shown any extra emotion.
He had never seen such a female before. Not only was she breathtakingly beautiful, she also carried a unique aura.
No wonder she was an Immortal Phoenix Beastman.
The corner of Su Muyao’s lips lifted. "Ant Steward, you also know the benefits and profits represented by this Purification Elixir. This thing can bring us a constant stream of benefits."
Hearing that Su Muyao didn’t reject it outright, the Chief Steward knew she wasn’t against selling the elixir formula.
It was just that she would likely demand enough benefits.
"Of course, even after Miss Su sells the formula, you can still continue refining Purification Elixirs for sale. Our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion will only use the Purification Elixirs on our own people and will not sell them externally."
Upon hearing this, Su Muyao’s lashes trembled slightly.
This indicated that the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion didn’t care about the profit from the Purification Elixir.
It meant they had even greater profits and backing behind them.
Su Muyao smiled inwardly. "I’m just not sure, Ant Steward—what do you plan to use to exchange for my elixir formula?"
"Ten thousand Crystal Stones."
Su Muyao’s gaze cooled. "Since Ant Steward is so lacking in sincerity, then we’ll be taking our leave."
"Wait, Miss Su, please stay—fifty thousand Crystal Stones..."
Su Muyao watched this Steward’s expression; it was as if he didn’t feel any pain at all even when offering so many Crystal Stones.
Could it be that the ore they were mining was related to Crystal Stones?
But if it was Crystal Stone, it wasn’t that precious, was it?
And so, Su Muyao began haggling with this Ant Steward.
They kept pulling back and forth.
In the end, the Steward asked, "What exactly does Miss Su want in exchange? Do you not like Crystal Stones, or do you prefer the treasures and Magic Artifacts of our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion?"
However, after this round of bargaining, Su Muyao also understood that they were determined to obtain the Purification Elixir.
Having grasped their intent, Su Muyao directly said, "The Xuanlin Whip."
Her goal from start to finish had been the Xuanlin Whip.
The Steward was startled and glanced at Teng Lixuan.
Some things might not have been spoken outright, but both sides understood.
For example, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had sent people to the Vine Clan for the Vine Heart Pearl.
When the Xuanlin Whip was used, Teng Lixuan would definitely have seen it.
In the end, under Su Muyao’s insistence, she exchanged the Purification Elixir formula for the Xuanlin Whip.
After Su Muyao and the others left, the Chief Steward removed a wall to the side, revealing Qiu Zhezhi’s figure behind it.
"Eldest Young Master, this is the formula."
Qiu Zhezhi said, "Have someone start refining immediately."
The Chief Steward said, "It seems their purpose in coming here was the Xuanlin Whip."
Qiu Zhezhi said nothing.
"Have people shadow them and keep an eye on their movements."
...
After leaving, Su Muyao went to find Mei Qingchen.
At the same time, when passing a stall of a Cat Clan Tribe, she used a Secret Technique to transmit her voice to Mao Xize. "Young Master Cat, I need your help with something tonight."
She left a paper crane at the stall for him.
With superpower, this paper crane could guide Mao Xize.
Mao Xize’s expression shifted slightly. He quietly put the paper crane away, understanding that he could do something for his benefactor.
Su Muyao had deliberately exchanged the Purification Elixir formula for the Xuanlin Whip.
One reason was that the Xuanlin Whip was indeed useful; she wanted to give it to Di Fu Yuan—perhaps Di Fu Yuan could see the secret behind it.
Another reason was to confuse the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s sight, making them think she had come specifically for the Xuanlin Whip.
Once they relaxed their guard, she would be able to sneak in at night to investigate their secrets.
She felt it definitely had something to do with the Crystal Ore.
...
On the other side
Mei Qingchen accompanied Xiao Zhuo to a dilapidated, hidden cave, where they met Xiao Zhuo’s parents. They were also Ice Wolf Beastmen.
However, Xiao Zhuo’s mother was insane, muttering things no one could understand.
"Fake, all of it is fake."
