Love,
Great Master Ji finally stopped looking down on Sima Youyue. The way he stared at her changed again and again. Finally, he suppressed his anger.
"Who are you? How could he concoct such a poison?! "
"The Hundred Insects and Hundred Herbs Poison isn't a difficult poison. There's no need for Great Master Ji to be so surprised, right? " Sima Youyue said, "As for who I am, Great Master Ji doesn't have to care. I don't have any direct conflict with you. I just want to make a deal with you."
Great Master Ji had already guessed it and was not surprised. He asked, "What kind of deal?"
"Since we both have the poison and the antidote, why don't we exchange the antidote?"
"You want the antidote for the Hundred Insects and Hundred Herbs Poison? You're one of Young Master's men? "Great Master Ji immediately understood her motive.
"I'm not one of your young master's men. I just happened to know him and made a deal with him, "Sima Youyue said.
"You really like to trade with others," Great Master Ji mocked.
"Thank you for the compliment."
"…" Great Master Ji wanted to shout, 'I'm not praising you!'
"I don't have the antidote. The antidote was taken away by the Patriarch." He said.
"Patriarch? What is he going to do with the antidote? "Sima Youyue was surprised.
"How would I know?" Great Master Ji scoffed.
"It's alright, since the antidote is gone, you can refine another one!" Sima Youyue said, "I know, you must have left the recipe for this pill."
Master Ji instinctively wanted to say no, but he realized that there was no point in saying that in front of her.
"I don't have that many herbs." He said, "The Clan Head knows what kind of herbs are needed for the antidote. Once I use the herbs, the Clan Head will know. I think you don't want him to know, right? "
"It's okay, I have the herbs." Sima Youyue said, "Show me the prescription and I'll know."
Show her the formula? Great Master Ji was unwilling.
"Think about it carefully." Sima Youyue did not force him. She stood up and walked around the room. When she saw the poison and the extracted essence on the table, she smiled.
Was he having a headache because of this? No wonder he looked so angry when she came in.
She condensed a flame and formed a small cauldron. Then, she picked up the medicinal herb on the table and threw it in.
"What are you doing?!" Great Master Ji roared.
Did she know how precious and difficult it was to extract this medicinal herb? So casually …
His anger was quickly replaced by surprise. He didn't expect that not only did she not burn the herbs, she even started to condense liquid at the roots of the herbs.
Was she refining?
Thinking of this, he calmed down and watched her extract.
Sima You Yue ignored him and focused all her attention on refining. Very quickly, that stalk of medicine turned into a ball of emerald green liquid and a ball of residue.
She picked up the jade bowl on the table and put the extracted essence into it. Then, with a wave of her hand, the flames and residue disappeared.
"Let me see!" Great Master Ji ran over and snatched the jade bowl away. Seeing the emerald green essence inside, which was many times purer than what he had extracted, he looked at her in agitation. "How did you do it?"
"That's how I did it. It's just a small matter, "Sima Youyue said confidently.
Great Master Ji wanted to say how was it a small matter? But then he remembered that she really did it casually. To her, it was indeed a small matter.
He didn't expect this young lady to be such an expert! Previously, he guessed that the Hundred Worms and Hundred Herbs were not refined by her. But after this incident, he realized that she was really a poison expert!
"Young lady, let's discuss this properly. It's not impossible for you to have my antidote, but you have to tell me how to extract it. No, you have to stay here and discuss poison with me! "Great Master Ji said agitatedly.
Sima Youyue looked at him strangely. Wasn't his change of heart too fast?
"You said that the antidote was taken away by the master." She said.
"I can refine it again."
"You said that you don't have the herbs."
"I can go and get them."
"You said that the master knows the ingredients of the antidote. If you take the herbs, you will be discovered."
"I still have most of the herbs here, but I'm missing a few key ones. If I only take those, I can say that I'm researching on the others if the master asks. "
"…"
Sima Youyue stared at him, trying to determine if he was telling the truth.
Great Master Ji took out the Hundred Worms and Hundred Herbs formula and said, "These are my Hundred Worms and Hundred Herbs. You should believe my sincerity after seeing it."
Sima Youyue took the formula and looked at it. She was sure that most of the poisonous worms and herbs were similar to the ones in this formula. She knew that it should be true.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Great Master Ji said again, "I swear, it's definitely this one."
Sima Youyue threw the formula back to him and said, "I can tell you if you want, but you can't tell anyone my identity while I'm here. I won't give you the antidote until I leave. "
"When are you leaving?"
"I'll leave after watching your clan's competition. Don't worry, it'll only be a few days. I won't take your life. "Sima Youyue said.
"You're leaving so soon?! Can't you stay a little longer? "Great Master Ji called out.
Sima Youyue saw how reluctant he was and was stunned, "I still have things to do. But I'll definitely teach you how to refine it in the next few days. "
"Alright then."
Great Master Ji agreed unwillingly.
Sima Youyue walked to the child's side. He had fainted when she first moved. She took out the antidote and waved it under his nose. He slowly woke up.
"Master, what's wrong?" The child was a little dizzy.
"Nothing much. I have something to discuss with her. You can go do your thing. Don't tell anyone about what happened today. You can't tell anyone that there's an extra person in my courtyard. "Great Master Ji said.
Although the child was a little confused, he didn't dare to disobey his master's orders and left obediently.
His master's words were always right.
"Miss Youyue, look, we're now …" Great Master Ji really wanted her to teach him, but it didn't seem likely at the moment.
"What's the point of looking at me? You don't even have the herbs here. Even if I were to explain it to you, you wouldn't have anything to practice with. "Sima Youyue said.
"I'll go to the medicinal hall now and personally ask for the missing herbs. Also, bring a few stalks of this over. "Great Master Ji said and left.
Sima Youyue stayed in the courtyard and let the child bring her to choose a bedroom. After the child left, she released some scarlet bees.
Although she believed that Great Master Ji wouldn't harm her, it was still better to be safe.
At this moment, the scarlet bees that were left at Mi Er's side sent news that Second Master Tao was back.
Sima Youyue asked them to keep a close eye on him. She was curious how Mi Er would deal with Second Master Tao.
