Chapter 788 - 780: Exploration (First Update)
Teng Lixuan looked at Su Muyao’s calm expression and couldn’t help but touch his own face.
Was he not good-looking enough?
He remembered that when other females from different clans looked at him, they would be captivated by him.
Especially animal-type females; his face and physique were incredibly alluring to them.
Even using charm techniques, Miss Su was unaffected.
Her expression seemed to be seriously contemplating Ant Clan matters.
He didn’t know how other males used their techniques to captivate females during courtship.
He had never known, nor was he interested in learning before.
Now he felt it might be worth learning; he wondered if he could learn it in time.
But the more he interacted with Miss Su, the more he felt she was different from other females.
She had many mysterious veils, attracting him to approach and explore.
Under Su Muyao’s expectant gaze, Teng Lixuan finally said, "They seem to be mining."
"Mining?"
Su Muyao couldn’t help but feel surprised.
"The Taixu Secret Realm actually has mines?"
In Su Muyao’s understanding, wasn’t mining referring to Crystal Stone Veins?
Such minerals are extremely important.
At this moment, even Yue Wuhen, Mei Qingchen, and Shen Ci’an’s expressions became serious.
Mei Qingchen’s expression shifted a few times, "I didn’t expect the Taixu Secret Realm to be more complicated than I thought."
Even the Golden Leopard Tribe couldn’t gather more information.
Shen Ci’an looked at Teng Lixuan, "Are you sure it’s Crystal Ore?"
Teng Lixuan said, "It might not be Crystal Ore, but possibly some type of resource we’ve never known."
"In any case, it’s quite important."
"If I didn’t have some Secret Techniques, allowing me to gather some information through the nearby Spirit Plants, these might have remained undiscovered."
"The Ant Clan Beastmen hide the resources very well; it’s hard for anyone to find out."
But using that kind of Secret Technique from a distance consumes a lot of energy for him.
Each time he uses it, he becomes weak for a while.
It might even backfire on him, so he would rarely resort to such a Secret Technique.
However, since the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion dared to target his clan, naturally, he wouldn’t be polite either.
Su Muyao asked, "Has no one ever discovered the Ant Clan’s secret all this time?"
"Has no one noticed that they’re mining?"
She wasn’t sure what kind of resources these could be.
But since the Ant Clan went to such great lengths, it must be something important.
Su Muyao’s expression turned serious.
She even wanted to see what kind of mineral vein it was.
Teng Lixuan said, "The Ant Clan Beastmen have an extremely high sensitivity to information probing; any slight disturbance nearby, and they will notice."
"There are quite a few Ant Clan Beastmen patrolling the periphery of the mines."
"Moreover, there are ancient arrays set up around there; ordinary people cannot approach."
Su Muyao said, "If we want to know their secret, it’s best to see it on-site."
When it involves matters related to the Insect Clan, Su Muyao doesn’t dare to be careless.
It might be related to the Insect Clan from the Nine Nether Forbidden Land.
Mei Qingchen also knew that the matter of the Insect Clan should be clarified, "Three days from now happens to be the day the Ten Thousand Treasures Collection opens, where Beastmen from various tribes take their wares to set up stalls or trade."
"Many Wandering Beastmen will also go there."
Su Muyao’s expression shifted, although she was going there to investigate the Insect Clan’s secrets, if she could exchange some items for treasures, that would be good too.
"By the way, can I sell Purification Elixirs or even some self-made medicines?"
Teng Lixuan said, "Miss Su, by doing so, you’ll easily catch the attention of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion people."
"Everything concocted here is medicine, incomparable to elixirs, and only outsiders will bring elixirs, which are very rare."
"Especially Purification Elixirs, which no one has seen before."
"This will bring you danger."
Su Muyao focused and said, "I think attracting them out is good; only then can we infiltrate them."
Su Muyao was planning this.
"No, it’s too dangerous."
Shen Ci’an opposed without a second thought.
He couldn’t let Su Muyao take even the slightest risk.
Mei Qingchen also shook his head and said, "Wife, no."
Yue Wuhen sighed softly, looking at Su Muyao with gentle, soothing eyes and said, "Your safety is the most important, leave other matters to us."
For instance, matters like selling elixirs, they personally would handle.
Su Muyao knew her current strength was insufficient, and the system was unstable in the Taixu Secret Realm, so indeed she couldn’t take risks.
But she really wanted to know where the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion got their Xuanlin Whip from.
"Alright, then I’ll make more medicine."
Both protective and healing elixirs needed to be adequately prepared.
Teng Lixuan watched carefully, noticing that Miss Su’s Beast Husband appeared easygoing and was mostly silent, but whenever he spoke, Miss Su listened.
This person held a high place in Miss Su’s heart.
However, his entire aura was unfathomable.
And whatever he used didn’t seem like superpower, making him apprehensive.
In front of Yue Wuhen, Teng Lixuan naturally didn’t dare to challenge.
Unlike when facing Mei Qingchen and Shen Ci’an.
Su Muyao pondered for a moment and said, "That Pavilion Master of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, do we not know his name?"
Teng Lixuan shook his head and said, "No idea, he’s never shown himself."
"It’s only known that in the past, when there was a disturbance at the market, a steward from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion appeared, and they were all Ant Beastmen."
"From when I had memory, including when my clan’s Clan Leader had memory, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion existed, along with those Ant Beastmen."
Su Muyao seemed to have thought of something and looked at Shen Ci’an, "By the way, Shen Ci’an, when you soul-searched that Youluo Tree Beastman, did you see any memory regarding the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion?"
Shen Ci’an narrowed his eyes, thought carefully, and said, "In his memory, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion did appear, but it was a reference from the ancestral memory, overhearing that if seeking better Magic Artifacts, one could buy them at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion."
"However, he had never been to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion."
Mei Qingchen’s sacred eyes shone with a faint golden deep radiance, "So it seems the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion also sells Magic Artifacts."
Teng Lixuan said, "But in the Taixu Secret Realm, there aren’t many Magic Artifacts at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, rather there are more Hidden Weapons."
Speaking of which, Teng Lixuan took out a Hidden Weapon and said, "It’s like this, found on those attacking Ant Beastmen we encountered."
Su Muyao saw these Hidden Weapons, her expression shifted several times.
Then she looked at Shen Ci’an.
Shen Ci’an nodded at her and said, "Exactly, it was shot from the dense forest when we went there."
"And the threads on it are also Moon Cold Silk."
This referred to the dense forest they suspected in the Fusang Forest.
At that time, Shen Ci’an, while as Shen Jinsuo, had accompanied Su Muyao there; he had Shen Jinsuo’s memories, naturally aware of the circumstances.
Su Muyao’s expression was solemn, "It seems we really have to take a trip to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion."
Having made up their minds, they began preparations.
Su Muyao started preparing medicine and concoctions.
Teng Lixuan proactively wanted to help, but Su Muyao didn’t need it at all.
"Miss Su, I know how to process herbs and concoct medicines; I recognize all these herbs. If you don’t believe me, you can test me."
"And these herbs, I brought them from the Vine Clan, surely you can use them."
Saying this, Teng Lixuan took out numerous herbs from his Space Ring and placed them in front of Su Muyao.
Su Muyao’s eyes lit up at the sight of so many precious herbs, "How do you know all this?"
"As the Young Clan Leader, naturally, I ought to learn more skills."
Previously, he thought of doing more for his clan, so he learned more abilities.
He never imagined that learning about medicine concoction and herb knowledge with the clan’s Elder Miao would automatically flash herbal properties in his mind as if he were born to know them.
Elder Miao believed he had such a talent.
In reality, he always felt like he just knew these things.
However, when it came to pulse-taking, he wasn’t skilled at that.
It seemed Miss Su was capable of pulse-taking.
Naturally, many of these herbs were also obtained through his Secret Techniques, searching the mountains and forests all around.
He hadn’t thought that his learned skills could now help him win over Miss Su.
Seeing Miss Su’s expression, it seemed she liked these herbs.
To find ways to get close to Miss Su and change her impression of him, he must use more of his abilities to enhance his competitiveness, like mastering skills that Mei Qingchen and others didn’t possess.
