Ch520 - Buying Antidote

The originally quiet courtyard became chaotic, and the other three groups of fifteen people began to behave abnormally. Some ran into the courtyard and ran around recklessly hitting walls, while others ran wildly and foolishly talking nonsense. The ninth level cultivator was still better, but they all felt dizzy, confused, and weak in limbs.

Standing in the yard, gazing at the chaotic scene outside, Xiao Yi furrowed his brows. His face was very ugly.

“Third Brother, doesn’t this place seem quite not right?” Xiao Hui asked as he looked at his Younger Brother.

“If I’m not mistaken, these trees in the yard and the fruits on them are all poisonous.” Xiao Yi said helplessly as he looked at the lush fruit trees in the yard.

“Poisonous?” Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi’s face turned very unhappy.

“Third Brother, you knew it was poisonous. Why didn’t you say it earlier?” Xiao Wen slammed his head against the wall several times before regaining some consciousness and returning to his Third Brother’s side.

“This Palace is a Sacred Level Immortal Artifact, and once the Palace gate is closed, we won’t be able to leave. I know what’s the use of it? These days, I have been giving you poison avoiding pills and detoxifying pills for you every day, but the effects are not very good.” Speaking of this, Xiao Yi was also very helpless.

“So it’s like this. Since these trees are causing trouble, I’ll set them on fire.” As Xiao Wen spoke, he raised his hand and threw a flame talisman towards the Golden Yao trees.

A purple protective shield immediately lit up outside the rows of trees, and Xiao Wen’s attacks were all bounced back. In an instant, Xiao Wen’s immortal clothes ignited.

“Ah, ahhh…” Xiao Wen let out a scream and quickly slapped the flames on his body.

“Fourth Brother!” Xiao Yi let out a startled sound and threw a water talisman, directly extinguishing the fire on Xiao Wen’s body.

Watching his brother lying on the ground, drenched in water and half of his immortal clothes burned, and in an extremely dishevelled state, Xiao Yi shook his head helplessly and quickly helped him up. “Fourth Brother, you’re too reckless!”

“Third Brother, is there really nothing we can do? I don’t want to stay here, not a day more.” Looking at his Third Brother, Xiao Wen said with a painful expression on his face. Every night, he could see those people he had killed come looking for him with blood on their faces. That gloomy feeling made him inexplicably fearful.

Taking a glance at his Younger Brother, Xiao Yi was also very helpless.

“Big Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Feifei’s situation is very bad. She has been banging her head against the wall, what should we do?” Xiao Fangfang pulled her Sister and looked at her three brothers helplessly.

“Third Brother, look at this…” Xiao Hui also felt a headache as he looked at his Sister, who had a silly expression and was constantly hitting the wall.

“What’s is it?” Jiang Xu opened the door and looked at the person who came. Seeing that the door was knocked by the Xiao Brothers, Jiang Xu’s face couldn’t help but darken.

Looking at Jiang Xu who seemed to open the door, and then at the other four people sitting in the main hall, Xiao Yi bowed deeply. “This Daoist Friend, I would like to buy some antidotes from your alchemist.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xu sneered. “Senior, you really know how to joke. You as a ninth level alchemist don’t have an antidote, where did we, a group of eighth level cultivators, get that antidote?”

“Daoist Friend, you are too humble.” Xiao Yi was not a fool. He knew from the condition of the five people in the Palace that none of them were poisoned.

“I’m not modest, I’m telling the truth. If we have an antidote, we’ll definitely keep it for ourselves. How could we sell it to others? If we don’t have the antidote, even if you, Senior, offer a mountain of immortal crystals, we still can’t get the antidote,ah?” Jiang Xu sneered at this. It’s a joke that the Xiao family actually wanted to buy antidote from them.

“My Third Brother is kind enough when discussing with you, but you are so resistant like this. You are too much.” Xiao Wen said, displeased as he looked at Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu sneered as he looked at Xiao Wen, who was the first to make a mistake. “Too much? We kept our doors closed and didn’t take advantage of others’ situation to kill all our competitors. It’s already very conscientious. Don’t forget, we are in a competitive relationship, not friends but enemies.”

“You…” Upon hearing Jiang Xu’s words, Xiao Wen was very unhappy and was about to take action, but was stopped by Xiao Yi.

“I apologize.” Xiao Yi lowered his head and glanced at Liu Mufeng sitting in a chair. He then left with his Elder Brother and Fourth Brother.

Returning to the main hall, Xiao Wen felt extremely depressed and looked at his Brother. “Third Brother, why did you stop me?”

Looking at his infuriated Younger Brother, Xiao Yi sneered. “What they said is also true. If there is an antidote, shouldn’t they keep it for themselves to save their lives? How could they sell it to us? Besides, we are not friends, but competitors, enemies.” Xiao Yi agreed with Jiang Xu’s words. But Jiang Xu dared not give him face, not to give face to the Xiao family, and he held a grudge against this person in his heart.

“But…” Xiao Wen looked at his Third Brother and felt very depressed.

“When I went to buy the antidote, I knew they wouldn’t sell it to us. However, even if they sell it to us, would you dare to take the antidote sold to you by unfamiliar competitors?” Xiao Yi said helplessly as he looked at his Younger Brother.

“Third Brother, why were you looking for them if you didn’t want to buy an antidote?” Xiao Wen asked suspiciously.

“I just wanted to confirm if they were poisoned. The five of them were full of energy and had a normal expression, indicating that they were not poisoned at all. I think I have guessed what the antidote is.” Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes and had already calculated in his heart.

“Third Brother, do you know?” Upon hearing this, Xiao Wen was pleasantly surprised.

“En, I guessed it. We can find someone to experiment with.” Xiao Yi smiled at this. There were so many people in the yard that he didn’t need to use his younger siblings for experiments.

*****

After closing the door, Jiang Xu set the lock directly, and Xiaoyue and Jin Xiao also set the barrier.

“Is that Xiao Yi having a brain problem? He actually asked us to buy an antidote. I think he’s quite sick.” Jiang Xu looked contemptuous when he said this.

“Perhaps not to buy the antidote, but to test the truth and falsehood. This Xiao Yi looks much smarter than Xiao Wen and Xiao Fangfang.” Although there was a foolish Younger Brother and a foolish Younger Sister, Liu Mufeng could see that this Xiao Yi was a shrewd person. In fact, this Xiao Yi was also very unhappy whenXiaoXu rejected him. However, he had not shown any signs of joy or anger; this person was not simple.

“Testing the truth, what do you mean?” Jiang Xu asked as he looked at his own man.

“You’ll soon know what Xiao Yi’s idea is.” Liu Mufeng smiled as he spoke.

“You’re talking in riddles again.” Looking at his man, Jiang Xu gave him an unhappy glance.

“There’s no trick involved, I just guessed that he would be interested in those unripe fruits on the tree, I can’t guess anything else.” With a smile, Liu Mufeng grabbed his wife’s hand.

“Oh.” Upon hearing this, Jiang Xu was just satisfied.

“Father, should we guard against them? Should we also pick the unripe fruits?” Liu Xuan asked as he looked at his Father.

Liu Mufeng shook his head. “It’s alright, let them go. Those unripe fruits are quite poisonous, don’t go picking them.”

“Yes, Father.” Liu Xuan responded, expressing understanding.

“So, what should we do now?” Jiang Xu asked.

“It’s still like before, how to live it, soaking in medicinal baths and practicing at night. As long as those fifteen people don’t come to our door, we don’t need to pay attention to them. Just live our own lives.” Liu Mufeng planted many immortal plants in his space. Even if the whole family took medicinal baths and practiced every day, they could afford it. So, Liu Mufeng didn’t care at all about what the fifteen people outside were going to do.

“Okayl” Everyone expressed their understanding.

“Xiaoyuan, let the Golden Spirit Insects keep an eye on the Palace gate every day. As soon as the gate is opened, report to me immediately.” Liu Mufeng ordered as he looked at Xiaoyuan.

“Hmm, I understand Master.” Nodding, Xiaoyuan expressed understanding.

*****

Two months later…

Sitting in the Palace, Xiaoyuan looked depressed. “It’s really strange. The five people living in the West Side Hall have all died. Why hasn’t the Palace gate opened yet?”

“Perhaps it’s not enough dead people, is it?” Speaking of this, Liu Mufeng frowned. The words “survival of the fittest” were only written on the stone tablet, and it’s not clear how many people would be eliminated.

“Five dying is not enough? Would it be ten or fifteen?” Jiang Xu couldn’t help but frown at this.

“How is the situation with the Li family next door?” Liu Mufeng asked as he looked at Xiaoyuan.

“The situation next door is not very good either. Four of them died, leaving only one person. Xiao Yi, that bastard, used the Li family’s people to experiment with the fruits on the tree. After confirming that the fruits could detoxify, he snatched all the fruits. Not a single one was given to the Li family. All five of them of the Xiao family are alive, but the other two families’ situation is quite miserable.” Xiaoyuan sighed.

“The remaining cultivator of the Li family should be the leader with the Sea God Token. If he also falls, perhaps the Palace gate will open. If the Palace gate still doesn’t open after he falls, then we will have to have a bloody battle with the Xiao family.” Liu Mufeng frowned as he spoke.

“Master, rest assured that I will have the Golden Spirit Insects closely monitor every move in the yard.”

“En. ” Liu Mufeng agreed.
