Chapter 263 Fake Beads
Chu Zhiyuan had already told Chu Qingyan about this matter.

He also told him about his premonition that Lu Yaofeng's cave was extremely dangerous.

It’s best not to open it easily. Several grand masters should take action at the same time, or use other methods to explore.

People must not approach easily.

What's more, it's best not to investigate it, just let it stay there, it doesn't matter if it's not opened, just pretend you don't know.

We must not let Dameng’s masters get it.

At that time, we can even let the masters of Dameng take the lead, and then reap the benefits.

Unfortunately, this cave is very secret and has never been found.

Li Hongzhao had been prepared for this move, and the location of the cave he gave was problematic.

He speculated that the direction was correct, but the location was wrong, and it might have moved a little distance to the east or west.

Watching Li Hongzhao leave angrily, Chu Zhiyuan continued to study the black beads and continued to refine the black beads.

Although he felt that there was no point in refining this black bead, after all, it was just a device to conceal the aura and he could just wear it on his body.

Even if it has been refined, you still have to wear it on your body, and it is not much different from not being refined.

But I still couldn't help wanting to refine it.

The method of sacrifice is like my own toy, I can't help but want to use it and play with it.

……

Three days later, when he had completed the membrane refining and his whole body was surging, as if an invisible force was filling up his body and his body was slightly larger, Li Hongzhao appeared again.

Chu Zhiyuan only felt that he possessed infinite power. With one punch, he could make a hole in the sky and flatten the mountains and rivers.

He tried hard to calm this impulse and illusion, and when he heard that Li Hongzhao was coming again, he could only go to the front hall.

Li Hongzhao smiled, his phoenix eyes flashing with sarcasm.

Chu Zhiyuan sat on the chair and said helplessly: "What else is there? I still need to concentrate on my cultivation."

"Aren't you the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites?" Li Hongzhao snorted, "You don't go out all day long. Are the officials of your Dajing court so lazy?"

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Have you figured it out?"

"You are really despicable. You sent people to look for Lu Yaofeng's cave so that you could eat all by yourself."

"Same here." Chu Zhiyuan was unmoved and smiled, "You don't have good intentions either. We don't have to blame each other. What else is there?"

"I have already asked my father, and he said no. The ancestors of the Great Mongolia did not do anything to Lu Yaofeng. They let him leave. Lu Yaofeng often came back, but he was buried with his woman in the end and stayed here."

Chu Zhiyuan did not comment.

"You do not believe?"

"I believe the Great Mongolian Emperor would not speak nonsense. In that case," Chu Zhiyuan said, "then let's go check it out?"

"Exactly!" Li Hongzhao snorted, "You haven't found it yet? Ridiculous, really ridiculous!"

Chu Zhiyuan didn't say that there was something wrong with her map. He smiled and said, "How could Lu Yaofeng casually reveal where he was buried? How could he allow outsiders to disturb him and his woman? There's nothing wrong with not being able to find it."

"What a ridiculous excuse." Li Hongzhao curled her red lips.

This is just an excuse for his incompetence. When it comes to gathering information, Dajing can't catch up with Daming even if he tries hard.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "When do we set off?"

"Let's go now." Li Hongzhao said, "Stop playing tricks and don't ask someone to follow you!"

She believed that Chu Zhiyuan was capable of doing such a thing. If he couldn't have the food all to himself, he would just steal and rob.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Do you know the methods of the Worry-Free Sect?"

"Poison?" Li Hongzhao smiled proudly: "I have a poison-repelling spiritual bead."

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her.

Li Hongzhao flipped his hand, and a dimly glowing pearl appeared in his palm. It was the size of a longan, round and flawless.

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly felt extremely jealous.

"you want?"

"Is there more?"

"No more." Li Hongzhao laughed and shook his head, saying, "Of course there is only one spiritual bead of this kind."

I finally played a trick on him and it felt really good.

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, “Then you should go by yourself. If I get poisoned, you will definitely watch helplessly.”

"I'm not that cruel." Li Hongzhao smiled and said, "You guys in Dajing also have such treasures."

"You can't get enough credit."

"Tsk tsk, how pitiful!... Then let's exchange it with the elixir, how about a first-grade elixir?"

"Forget it."

He felt that a first-grade elixir was worth more than this, not to mention that he didn't have one.

"... Never mind. I'll lend you one."

She threw the spirit bead in her hand to Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan knew that she was teasing him on purpose, but he didn't take it seriously.

Let her get the upper hand this time, and I'll get back at her next time.

He looked at the poison-repelling bead, looked deep into it, and threw it directly to her. "Don't want it?" Li Hongzhao said with a smile.

Chu Zhiyuan said unhappily: "Don't you know that this is a fake bead?"

Li Hongzhao's smile froze.

Chu Zhiyuan couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Really don't know?!"

Li Hongzhao sneered, glanced at the pearl in his hand, and snorted, "You are fooling around!"

“Haha…” Chu Zhiyuan was so happy that he couldn’t stop laughing: “It seems that someone wants to harm you…Haha, I saved your life, right?”

"...Is this anti-poison bead really fake?" Li Hongzhao frowned.

Chu Zhiyuan stopped laughing and said, "Let Mr. Su come over and take a look. I'm sure Mr. Su will be able to tell the real from the fake."

"Mr. Su." Li Hongzhao stared at Chu Zhiyuan.

Su Qiuyan appeared in a flash.

Li Hongzhao handed over the poison-repelling bead: "Mr. Su, is this poison-repelling bead fake?"

Su Qiuyan took the anti-poison bead, concentrated on sensing it, then lifted it up and looked at it under her eyes.

She channeled her energy into it, and the light flashed and expanded.

Su Qiuyan shook her head in confusion: "Fake?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Well, bring the poison over and give it a try."

Su Qiuyan said: "Then give it a try."

She didn't notice anything unusual and wanted to know whether Chu Zhiyuan's intuition was accurate and whether it was stronger than hers as a grandmaster.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Zou Fang."

Zou Fang stepped forward.

"Find someone to get some poison. The more poisonous the better."

"Yes."

Zou Fang floated away.

After a moment, he brought over a deerskin cloak, opened it, and inside was a row of throwing knives.

These flying knives are different from Chu Zhiyuan's flying knives. They are all scimitars, and the tips of the knives are shining with a faint blue luster.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Where did this come from?"

"Sun Jisheng likes to tinker with these."

"Bring me another bowl of water."

Zou Fang put down the deerskin bag and took out a bowl of water.

Chu Zhiyuan pursed his lips.

Zou Fang took out a willow-leaf throwing knife, dipped it into the water, and immediately the clear water turned blue.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "He is not afraid of hurting himself by mistake."

The poison is extremely strong and can kill instantly upon contact with blood.

Zou Fang smiled and took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve: "Sun Jisheng has the antidote."

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand and gestured to Li Hongzhao.

Li Hongzhao held the anti-poison bead between the thumb and middle finger of his right hand and gently placed it into the water.

The bright light shines into the water, making the blue water even bluer and more beautiful.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Li Hongzhao with a smile.

A layer of frost covered Li Hongzhao's beautiful face.

Su Qiuyan also frowned, looking serious.

This is really a fake anti-poison bead.

At the critical moment, that can be fatal!
Who is so bold as to do such a thing? To murder the princess is tantamount to treason and the crime should be punished by execution of all nine generations of his clan!

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Li Hongzhao with a smile: "This should be done by someone close to you, right? Do you want me to help you find out?"

Li Hongzhao glared at him, biting her teeth.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Don't you want to thank me for saving your life?"

"…Thank you so much for your kindness!"

"You're not sincere at all. I saved you for nothing!" Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "It's chilling."

"Aren't you doing this for yourself?" Li Hongzhao snorted.

If something happens to him and he dies of poisoning because the anti-poison bead is fake, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape.

In the end, both of them died, which was equivalent to dying together.

But if he lives and dies himself, then all the blame will be put on him, and Dameng will definitely take revenge.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

"Alright." Li Hongzhao snorted, "I'll count it as a favor for saving your life. Don't worry, I'll definitely return it to you!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
