After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 383

It's probably because the "cold beauty" poison is rare to begin with, and it has to be taken by a pregnant woman, the poison has to pass to the fetus, and most importantly, the symptom is becoming ugly rather than anything else... There are really very few people who meet all these conditions.

Even the Earth-level alchemist frowned upon hearing about Hu Xiu's situation. After pondering for a moment, he smiled bitterly and said, "I have no way to cure the poison. However, it seems that the poison has caused no other problems besides damaging your son's appearance, so even without a cure, it should be fine."

The explanation is: It's just a bit ugly, but it'll do.

When Ren Ruojiu told Hu Xiu these words, he completely rejected them.

It was one thing if he didn't know before, but now that he clearly knows he's been poisoned, and judging from Mo Jiuwei's words, the poison isn't incurable, why should he endure it?

He won't give up!
So this morning I sent a message to Mo Jiuwei, saying I wanted to invite her to dinner and she could choose the place.

“There are antidotes. I can give you the formula, and you can find someone to refine it,” Mo Jiuwei said.

"Really?" Hu Xiuteng stood up abruptly. "What about the reward? You give me the pill formula, and I can give you a reward as a thank you. You name the terms."

"I have a few materials I need here. If you can help me buy them, I won't ask for any payment."

As Mo Jiuwei spoke, she handed the list to Hu Xiu.

The materials needed to renovate Suzukoyama include some rare items as well as many common ones.

The common items are self-explanatory; sect disciples can purchase them, and it doesn't matter where they're bought. The rarer items are precisely what Mo Jiuwei's purpose in coming to Canxin City is to acquire them.

Mo Jiuwei had already collected some of them on the black market, and there were nine more left. She had her maid ask around in the shops in the city, but she only found three of them. She had to pay extra to buy one of them.

The remaining six types are still undecided.

If there's no rush, Mo Jiuwei could issue a sect mission and have the disciples search for it.

However, firstly, she didn't want to delay, and secondly, this rare material had high quality requirements, so she insisted on inspecting the goods before accepting them; her disciples might not be able to handle it.

So, as early as when she learned of Hu Xiu's identity, Mo Jiuwei had already set her sights on the Hu family. However, at that time, she didn't know how well she had made her fortune in the black market. After all, what if she managed to find everything on the list?

So at that time, she only made contact with Hu Xiu first, without making any definitive statements.

Now that she was certain the Hu family could be of help, Mo Jiuwei told Hu Xiu.

Upon hearing this, Hu Xiu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry about that. Our Hu family auction house has been around for many years and has many connections. We know not only the shops in the city, but also the shops and auction houses in the outer city! We will definitely find these things for you."

"Okay, then you can search according to the list first. Once you find three items, I'll give you the formula."

Even close brothers keep clear accounts; Mo Jiuwei wouldn't do a losing business.

What if she gives them the formula, but the Hu family denies it? So, it's important to address any unpleasant issues upfront.

Hu Xiu didn't mind at all; he even thought it was the right thing to do, and excitedly ran off with the list in hand.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to pay the bill for Mo Jiuwei's table.

"Tsk, what a sincere child. It must have been tough on him all these years."

Mo Jiuwei sighed as she ate the crispy yet not greasy duck.

The maids almost laughed, because the tone of Mo Jiuwei's voice was just...

But upon closer reflection, they didn't find anything wrong with it. Although their master was young, she always gave them the impression of being incredibly capable, far surpassing her peers. It seemed that even the sect leader and the others had great respect for their master. Although they addressed her as a junior, they actually treated her like a "big shot."

Hu Xiu took the list and went to find his mother.

Ren Ruojiu took the list and was surprised. "This is the list she made? It's quite special."

Even she had only heard of four of the four on the list; she had never heard of the other two!

"Yes, Mother, you must help her find her! My reputation depends on you!" Hu Xiu clung to Ren Ruojiu's arm, acting coquettishly.

Ren Ruojiu rolled her eyes at him. "Get out of here and be serious! But I have to say, none of the things here are cheap. Who exactly is that little girl you're talking about?"

Could my son have been scammed? That's a disease that even a high-level alchemist has said they don't know how to cure. How could that little girl understand it?

Could it be that she deliberately approached her son?
Ren Ruojiu couldn't help but think more, because given the Hu family's circumstances and their son's lack of common sense, countless people had tried to curry favor with them over the years, and it was all up to the parents to keep an eye on them.

Otherwise, my son would probably be swindled out of everything, down to his underwear!

"I don't care who she is or what she does. I only know that she is a good person and she came to help me." Hu Xiu said, "Mother, the things here are expensive, but she said that we only need to help her find them, and she will pay for them herself in the end. So she is not a swindler."

If it's a scam, then the Hu family should pay for it.

Ren Ruojiu thought about it and felt that what he said was not wrong.

If the girl really asked the Hu family to pay for it, they probably wouldn't refuse, but they would just think she was being a bit greedy.

Of course, this is on the premise that she really has a way to cure her son.

"Alright, I'll go look for her. When I find her, bring her over so I can meet her in person."

"okay!"

With the Hu family handling the rest, Mo Jiuwei resumed her carefree days of lying down and enjoying herself immensely.

On this very day, Ling Qing finally resolved Xue Heng's matter.

Although Xue Heng hid very well and changed her location every few days, Ling Qing still managed to determine her location through several divinations.

“The matter has been resolved, and I’m returning to the Immortal Sect. How did your business go? I’ll wait for you to finish so we can go back together,” Ling Qing said.

The Bu Shen Clan and the Xian Lai Sect have agreed that they will not move for the time being, but will move after Lingzi Mountain is renovated.

Before that, they still lived in Xianlai Sect.

As for the sacred tree, it will first be settled at the Immortal Sect, and then moved away again.

Mo Jiuwei scrutinized Ling Qing's face, noticing a hint of weariness and sadness on his handsome features.

Xue Heng was killed by his own hands. This was probably the first time Ling Qing had killed one of his own clansmen, and it was a difficult hurdle for him to overcome.

Although both he and Mo Jiuwei knew that there were indeed reasons to kill someone like Xue Heng who had inherent problems, knowing it was one thing, and actually doing it was another.

He killed the other man to clean house, but when he thought about the past, he couldn't help but feel sad and regretful.
