The stolen magic is a bit magical

"I saw it! What's wrong?" The black-scaled man licked his lips; his tongue was forked, like a venomous snake.

"She is our chance to infiltrate the Wilderness Clan!"

"What do you mean?"

"If we capture her, we will have done a great service to the Desolate Clan!" Black Scale said.

The black-scaled man frowned: "Why?"

“Because she is the person the Wilderness Clan most wants to get rid of!” Black and White Scales said.

"The Wilderness Clan and the Li Clan have been enemies for generations. They want to eliminate all members of the Li Clan's royal family. Why do you say that this woman is the one the Wilderness Clan most wants to eliminate? Could it be that this woman is special?"

"She is Li Xueyi, the third daughter most favored by the current chieftain of the Li tribe, the one who is about to be married off to the Long-Eared Tribe." The white scale on this man's forehead seemed to shine even brighter at this moment.

The black-scaled man suddenly realized: "Once the marriage is arranged, the Long-Eared Clan's special skills will be a form of suppression against the Wilderness Clan. Therefore, the Wilderness Clan will spare no expense to sabotage this marriage. The most effective way is to kill this Third Miss who is entrusted with the mission of marriage!"

"Brother Wu has figured it out!" Brother Bai laughed.

Brother Wu was very excited, his face, covered in black scales, even seemed to glow red. However, after glancing over there a few times, he took a deep breath: "Brother Bai's brilliant plan is certainly tempting, but the true royal bloodline of the Li tribe is not so easy to subdue. Let alone the two of us brothers, even if we told the Wilderness Clan about her itinerary, it would still be difficult to truly subdue her. Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to flaunt herself outside."

That's the problem.

The two of them could see the value of this royal lady.

Others can see it too.

Even in Yan City, there are people from the Desolate Clan.

Knowing her schedule isn't the real issue; the real problem is how to win her over.

People of the Li ethnic group with genuine royal blood possess terrifying bloodline power.

A mysterious glint appeared in the white-clad man's eyes: "Take her down with brute force? Don't even think about it. We can consider using poison!"

"Poison? What kind of poison could possibly harm her?"

"This!" Brother Bai gently lifted his hand and picked up the bag beside him. The bag was opened, revealing seven crystal-clear, snow-white fruits.

"The Cold Pool Clear Fruit!" Brother Wu's brows furrowed sharply: "Is this fruit poisonous?"

"This fruit is not poisonous, however, when combined with another thing, it can produce a miraculous effect: for an hour, one cannot use the power of the bloodline." Brother Bai said, "This is the result of my latest research."

"With what?"

"Forget-sorrow tea by the River of Oblivion! Her journey here..."

Brother Bai lowered his voice and leaned close to Brother Wu's ear. Lin Xiaosu heard their whispers clearly, using her Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit as her ear.

He had to marvel at how wisdom truly is everywhere.

Even underground, even among the alien races that are not normal humans, there are still ingenious schemes.

This may be the way to survive in this chaotic little world.

Harsh living conditions and a chaotic world forced everyone to grow, whether through strength or wisdom.

This Brother Bai's method of poisoning completely redefined Lin Xiaosu's understanding of barbarians.

The Cold Pool Fruit he took out was not poisonous at all; in fact, it was a precious cultivation item for those with special bloodlines.

The "Forget-Me-Not Tea" they mentioned, grown along the River of Oblivion, is not actually poisonous.

Neither of these two precious foods is poisonous, but when combined, they can freeze a person's bloodline power for one to two hours.

Under normal circumstances, even if the bloodline power is sealed for two hours, it's not a big deal.

However, if someone is deliberately taking advantage of this window of opportunity to commit murder and robbery, then that's a different story.

The man in white then summoned a waiter, who was also a member of the Scaled Clan. He took out three Cold Pool Clear Fruits, handed them to the waiter, whispered something to him, and the waiter left to carry out his orders.

The next moment, he entered the blonde beauty's private room.

A tray was presented, on which sat the snow-white, crystal-clear Cold Pool Fruit.

Li Xueyi, the third young lady of the Li ethnic group, had her eyes light up: "You still have Cold Pool Clear Fruit here?"

"Yes!" the waiter said. "Our owner said that since you are such a distinguished guest, we have nothing to offer but three pieces of dried fruit as a dessert after your drinks."

"Excellent! Your establishment is very grand, I really like it! Come on, Jiu'er, add the money!"

The silver-haired maid next to him raised her hand and placed a small bag on the tray, and the waiter bowed and retreated.

Li Xueyi reached out and picked up a Cold Pool Fruit. The touch was icy cold, and she felt instantly refreshed: "Each of you eat one."

The burly old man shook his head repeatedly: "Miss likes fruit, so please eat it."

"When you're traveling, there aren't that many rules," Li Xueyi said. "Three people, three fruits, one for each person!"

"Thank you, Miss!"

Both of them picked up the Cold Pool Fruit and ate it.

Without the slightest hesitation.

This is simply because the Cold Pool Fruit itself is not poisonous.

Moreover, it was served by the waiter as a tea snack after the meal—this is where Brother Bai's shrewdness lies. If they had delivered it themselves, Li Xueyi, as the legitimate daughter of the Li clan chief, would certainly not have accepted a few fruits of unknown origin. By having the waiter deliver it in the name of the restaurant, she dispelled all her doubts.

In fact, as members of the Li Tian clan, they are not afraid of poison.

The three of them ate the Cold Pool Fruit, and Lin Xiaosu sighed inwardly, realizing that dangers in the martial world were truly everywhere.

The two people next to him could also see clearly through the window, and they were all delighted.

With a flick of his wrist, Brother Bai sent a black beetle flying out of the window.

This is what's used to transmit information to the Wilderness Clan.

The information has been released.

Li Xueyi and her group finished their meal and left the restaurant. Outside the restaurant was a huge, flat silver monster. The three of them climbed onto the monster's back, and the monster stood up, its many legs spreading out, and headed out of the city towards a jungle.

As soon as they left, the black and white scales next door followed.

Lin Xiaosu moved her feet and followed.

Nobody cares about them.

Because the road they were taking was an official road, and many people used it. The official road cut through the forest.

It overturned Lin Xiaosu's concept of "Lin".

This forest is home to a type of wood called black ironwood. It has only trunks and branches, but no leaves, and is completely bare, with a glossy black color. Lin Xiaosu broke off a branch; it was extremely hard, almost like iron wire. Most of the buildings in the city are made of this black ironwood. It is fireproof, moisture-proof, and durable. It is common for a house to last for hundreds of years.

There was no grass in the woods.

There are no leaves.

Without the ubiquitous chirping of birds and insects, he had never been to such a clean jungle, nor had he ever been to such a quiet jungle.

Passing through the forest, the official road stretched onward.

Lin Xiaosu couldn't distinguish between east, west, south, north, or day and night.

Because there is no sun, no moon, only the ceaseless eruption of volcanoes, bringing an unchanging light.

Occasionally there will be a breeze, but it's a hot breeze.

Judging from Lin Xiaosu's perception, the air temperature was around 40 or 50 degrees Celsius. If it were outside, this would be the sweltering heat of summer.

Apart from the vast desert, there are always a few cool places in the sweltering summer, but here, there is no cool place; everywhere is the same.

Lin Xiaosu was fortunate that her cultivation level was extraordinary.

If he were an ordinary person, he would probably suffer from heatstroke in less than half a day in such an environment.

He is no ordinary person; he has a blood tower inside his body.

The external heat was scorching him, but the true energy of the Blood Tower within his body circulated, bringing a refreshing coolness and locking in the moisture in his body.

The flat, large silver snake moved forward at a speed similar to that of a horse.

Lin Xiaosu moved with light steps, always keeping a distance of three hundred meters from them.

The two Scaled Clan members were elusive, not following the proper path. In Lin Xiaosu's perception, they were sometimes in front and sometimes behind.

After traveling for about fifty miles, a white wooden house appeared ahead.

On the white wooden house, four ancient characters read: Forget-Worries Tea House.

"How many years has Forget-Worry Tea House been open?" someone asked from behind Lin Xiaosu.

These are the pedestrians who accompanied him along the way.

Three extremely thin people, a race with three eyes, the Three-Eyed Clan.

"It's been three hundred years!"

"Worry-Free Tea is made from seven rare medicinal herbs. It is said that the cost is quite high. One tael of silver per bowl is just the cost price. Why do you think she has never raised the price? If she doubled the price, people would still drink it."

"Don't even mention doubling it, people would still drink it even if it were ten times more expensive. After all, you can't get through the Valley of Helplessness without drinking the Tea of ​​Forgetfulness." The first person said, "I heard that this is a kind of salvation for Granny Cui."

"Redemption? What does that mean?"

"Her husband died in the mouth of the 'robber worms' in the Valley of Helplessness. Granny Cui felt deeply guilty, so she opened the mortuary here and has been saving people from the mouths of the robber worms for three hundred years..."

As Lin Xiaosu listened to this legendary tale, her inner vigilance quietly dissipated.

If this Granny Cui really did run a teahouse for three hundred years, and it was truly just about salvation, then the possibility of her participating in today's assassination attempt is almost zero.

She probably didn't know that her bowl of Forget-Me-Not Tea, combined with the Cold Pool Fruit, would undergo some kind of incredible transformation.

After all, the trees here don't grow leaves, let alone flower and bear fruit. Fruit is an extremely high-end luxury in this world. How many people happen to eat the Cold Pool Fruit and then drink the Forget-Worry Tea?

Oh, right!
As Brother Bai also said: This is the result of my recent experiment.

A genius pharmacist, and he's even doing experiments...

Lin Xiaosu stepped onto the flat ground in front of the Forget-Worry Tea House and saw an old woman.

The old woman had gray hair and a kind face, but she had no eyes.

Where there should be eyes, there are no eyes.

She is blind.

Although she has no eyes, she seems to be fully aware of what is happening around her.

Reaching the door, he addressed the three members of the Li Tian Clan who had descended from the silver flatworm: "Would you three like a bowl of Forget-Worry Tea?"

“Four bowls!” said the maid named Jiu’er. “Our mounts should also have a bowl.”

"Good!" Granny Cui entered the room and brought out a tray with four bowls of pale yellow tea on it.

The three of them each drank a bowl, and then the large silver flatworm stretched out one of its tentacles and drank a bowl as well.

Then, they continued on their journey.

Lin Xiaosu stepped into the teahouse.

"Young master, would you like a bowl of Forget-Worries Tea?" Granny Cui asked.

Lin Xiaosu was very curious: "Grandma, how did you know I was the young master?"

"I can smell your scent, young master. It's the same captivating scent as my husband's." Granny Cui smiled gently. "So you must also be a dashing and romantic young man of this turbid world."

"My mother-in-law is such a refined and witty person!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Let's have a bowl of Forget-Worries Tea."

Granny Cui went into the inner room and brought out a bowl of tea.

Lin Xiaosu gave her one or two taels of silver.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The tea was slightly sweet, and it really quenched my thirst.

The blood tower inside my body was spinning quite happily, and there were no abnormalities.

He raised his gaze and, through the few dark trees in front of him, could vaguely see the familiar large silver flatworm scrambling over the hillside and heading straight down into the deep valley.

It disappeared into the thick fog.

Lin Xiaosu stood up and followed. (End of Chapter)
