Chapter 720: Chapter 724: Approaching Wood Immortal Mansion
Madly, he flipped through all of the books until he found the location of the Wood Immortal Mansion and the Scarlet Blood Mysterious Ginseng in an unofficial history book titled "Strange Tales and Odd Records".
He did not know whether the content in this book existed in this world, but he had no other choice. He had to try, just try!
Wood Immortal Mansion!
Scarlet Blood Mysterious Ginseng!
When he found the Scarlet Blood Mysterious Ginseng, when he managed to change his constitution, when he too became a Divine Brave Warrior, possessing all those strange spells.
The Emperor’s breath was increasingly rapid. He chuckled proudly, as if the world was already under his control.
······
In the following ten or so days, Liao Li provided Gaiyin and the others with a massive amount of meat every day, asking them to help roast it.
The Emperor was always very cautious. He would test the meat for poison with a silver hairpin before eating it.
In order to convince Liao Li more, the closer they got to the Wood Immortal Mansion, the less meat Su Tang and the others would roast.
When Liao Li came questioning, they all pretended to be extremely weak, claiming that they didn’t have the strength to roast too much meat.
They were very close to the Wood Immortal Mansion now. According to Su Tang’s changing map, they would reach their destination at most one day later.
And indeed, as Su Tang had predicted, the Emperor didn’t notice anything as long as the herbs put into the roast meat were non-toxic.
Right now, his body had already accumulated five types of medicine, lacking only one key herb to react with the other five and turn into a lethal poison.
At least under the current circumstances and conditions, there was no way to cure this poison.
This poison had a latent period. It would only manifest after at least 24 hours. This way, no one would suspect them.
Adam, warming himself by the fire, asked quietly, "If nothing goes wrong, we will arrive by tomorrow’s sunset. Is the final poison ready?"
Su Tang nodded, "It’s ready. To avoid suspicion, this is the last time we will roast meat for him. If all goes well, the poison should take effect by tomorrow night."
Adam continued, "What about Liao Li and Bai Ling? Will they also be affected by the poison? I suggest we keep them alive for now to minimize their suspicion of us."
Although Xi agreed with Adam, he frowned slightly, "But they have been eating the same thing as the Emperor these past few days. How can we ensure they won’t be poisoned?"
Everyone fell silent.
Their gazes shifted to Su Tang.
Su Tang just smiled, "That’s easy. As long as they eat one more piece of roast meat than the Emperor, the herbs in those two pieces of meat will neutralize each other, and they will be safe."
"So what we need to do now is figure out how to make Liao Li and the others eat an extra piece of roast meat."
"····"
Everyone looked at each other.
At this moment, Gaiyin suddenly stood up.
He said quietly, "Wait for me."
Then he walked towards the nearby woods.
Su Tang was a bit confused, "What is he going to do?"
Adam smiled and stroked his chin, "Maybe he is going to pee."
Su Tang rolled her eyes at him.
Adam added, "Or maybe he’s going to poop."
Su Tang’s mouth twitched slightly. If it weren’t for the fire between them, she would have kicked him.
Just as Adam was about to say something else, he got hit on the head with a stone that came from who knows where.
Gaiyin’s cold voice reached them, "I haven’t gone far. Stop your nonsenses or I’ll rip out your tongue."
Adam reluctantly closed his mouth.
