Chapter 265 Corpse Puppet
"Fellow Daoist Xu, when did you take the poison?" Qiao Qianqian followed Xu Mu and asked curiously.
"Didn't you realize that the place where he stood is where I used to stand!" Xu Mu said with a smile.
Qiao Qianqian thought carefully and realized that Xu Mu had been retreating at the beginning of the battle, while Wang Yongan kept actively approaching in order to control the corpse puppet.
It seemed that before the actual fight began, Xu Mu had already poisoned his surroundings, and then showed weakness to the enemy, luring the opponent into the poisonous area by constantly retreating.
"I see, but what kind of poison did you poison? He didn't even notice it for such a long time!" Qiao Qianqian asked.
"It's just a small thing, not worth mentioning." Xu Mu laughed.
"..."
What little thing? It was obvious that he didn’t want to tell me.
Qiao Qianqian complained in her heart.
She wanted to continue asking, but unfortunately she had already reached the high platform, so she could only give up and think about finding an opportunity to ask again in the future.
On the high platform, when they saw Xu Mu returning safely, the two maids showed a hint of joy on their faces. When they saw Wang Yongan who was poisoned and vomiting blood, they couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, I didn't expect you to be proficient in the art of poison!" Li Youlan said with a smile.
"I thought about it for a few days when I was idle and bored. It's not worth mentioning, and it made Her Royal Highness laugh." Xu Mu said with a smile.
"..."
Li Youlan was speechless.
Are you being too modest? If you think about it for a few days, you can poison the Jindan cultivator. If you think about it for a few years, you can even poison the Nascent Soul.
"Help fellow Daoist Wang heal him and let them all disperse!" Li Youlan said.
"yes!"
Xu Mu nodded, took out a pill and handed it to Mr. Jin, asking him to feed it to Wang Yongan.
After taking the elixir, Wang Yongan's breath quickly returned to normal, and the blood in his mouth no longer vomited.
"Your Highness, I refuse to accept it! This person's methods are despicable, and I want to fight him again!"
As soon as his body recovered, Wang Yongan couldn't wait to shout.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, I forgot to mention that the elixir needs to be taken for seven days to completely eliminate the toxins!" Before Li Youlan could speak, Xu Mu took out a bottle of elixir and spoke first.
"you you you……"
Wang Yongan was so angry that he almost vomited blood again.
"Okay! It's just a simple competition, why should you take it to heart!" Li Youlan said lightly.
She didn't like Wang Yong'an herself, he was a dissolute man and had no government at all. He even wanted to take advantage of her. If he hadn't had no one under his command before, he would have driven him away long ago.
"Damn it! For the sake of the princess, I will let you go this time!" Wang Yongan said bitterly.
Xu Mu smiled and didn't take it seriously for a while.
The Wang Yong'an in front of him was not as good as Lu Kuai in other aspects, except that his strength was relatively weak. At least Lu Kuai knew how to make mistakes in the beginning.
"Give me my corpse!" Wang Yongan said coldly after catching the thrown pill.
"Corpse puppet?"
Xu Mu instantly understood that Wang Yongan was talking about the white butterflies he had accepted.
It turns out that these things are called corpse puppets. Does it mean corpse puppets?
Thoughts flashed through Xu Mu's mind, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, it took me a lot of spiritual stones to refine these antidotes. These corpse puppets are considered a reward. If you are not willing to do so, please return the elixir to me, and I will hand over your elixir immediately." Corpse puppet!"
"Damn you!"
Wang Yongan could only curse inwardly unwillingly, there was no way he could return the elixir to Xu Mu.
It's just a pity that those batch of corpse puppets were made by him after a lot of effort.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, everyone is working for Her Highness the Princess. Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to buy and sell by force? If outsiders hear it, who would dare to come and help Her Highness the Princess?" Lu Kuai said angrily from the side.
He was at odds with Xu Mu.
"Fellow Daoist Lu knows the art of divination. Before you say this, you might as well calculate whether you will suffer a bloody disaster!" Xu Mu said with a chuckle.
"you……"
Lu Kuai gritted his teeth angrily, this was an obvious threat.
"Alright! Alright! You are making a quarrel in public, do you want people to laugh at it?" Li Youlan said coldly, her face darkened.
"Don't dare!"
Several people immediately shut up.
"Everyone go back and rest! Xu Mu, come with me!"
"yes!"
Xu Mu took two maids and left with Li Youlan, while the others dispersed.
Looking at the backs of Xu Mu and Li Youlan leaving, Wang Yongan's eyes showed resentment. Not only was he embarrassed today, but he might not be reused by Li Youlan again in the future.
A trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he turned around and strode away.
Lu Kuai opened his mouth and wanted to stop him, but thought of the environment he was in, and finally chose to give up.
Let’s find a chance to discuss it in private!
…
When they arrived at the Tengluo Courtyard where Li Youlan was staying, Xu Mu asked the two maids to stay at the door. Mr. Jin returned to his residence, and he was the only one who followed Li Youlan into the courtyard.
"Does Fellow Daoist Xu know why this place is called Tengluoyuan?"
Li Youlan stood in the yard and said.
"Maybe it's because of this wisteria tree!"
Xu Mu looked at the ivy tree hanging down from the roof like a purple waterfall and said.
"That's right! This wisteria tree has a thousand-year tree spirit. It is a rare sixth-level spiritual plant. The roots, leaves, stems, and flowers can all be used as medicine!" Li Youlan nodded and said.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly showed a hint of melancholy.
"I don't like vines, but in order to maintain the aura in the yard and the spiritual things she produces, I have to live here. Just like being in the royal family, some things have to be fought for and some things have to be done."
She turned back to look at Xu Mu.
"I hope fellow Taoist friends don't blame me for not standing up for you about what happened tonight!"
"Princess, what are you talking about? If I can't even deal with the two of them, what qualifications do I have to participate in the fighting competition!" Xu Mu said with a smile.
"Fellow Taoist is really smart!" Li Youlan said with a smile.
"The princess called me here, shouldn't she just talk about this little thing?"
"That's not the case. I just want to ask, what is the physical body deformation technique you used?"
"Seventh-level Void Transformation Technique!"
"Seventh-level Void Transformation Technique?"
Li Youlan thought about it and had no impression.
She didn't hesitate. There are thousands of magic spells in the world, and it’s normal not to know them.
"Can you sell it to me?"
"This is my unique magic!"
"What's the meaning?"
"At least a hundred high-grade spiritual stones!"
"..."
The corners of Li Youlan's mouth twitched.
One hundred high-grade spiritual stones are enough to buy a top-notch skill inheritance.
She bought it just because it was interesting and she might be able to use it in the future.
"Forget it for a hundred high-grade spiritual stones."
Li Youlan shook his head.
Although she was not short of this little spiritual stone, she didn't want to be taken advantage of.
"No! Your Highness! You can bargain!" Xu Mu said hurriedly.
For him, copying a spell is just a snap of his fingers. This is like picking up a spiritual stone for nothing and there is no reason to give it up.
"A spiritual stone!"
"..."
You are a princess no matter what, so you are bargaining too hard!
"make a deal!"
"..."
Li Youlan was speechless.
After seeing the contents of the spell copied by Xu Mu, Li Youlan immediately realized——
Give it a high!
"How did you practice this spell?"
She doubted whether what Xu Mu gave her was fake, because according to the introduction, the difficulty of cultivation was not only scary, but even life-threatening.
"Just follow the step-by-step instructions in the jade slips!"
"..."
Saying it means not saying it.
Li Youlan put away the magic jade slip. Anyway, it was just a high-grade spiritual stone.
"Is there anything else, princess? If not, I will go back!" Xu Mu said.
"What level of alchemy have you reached?" Li Youlan suddenly asked.
"Princess, why do you ask this?"
"I have a task here that requires someone who is proficient in alchemy to complete it. If you do it well, it will be enough to obtain the resources to advance to the later stage of the golden elixir!"
"Is level eight enough?"
"..."
