Now that Pill Fiend had said this, Lady Lianxin didn't bother to explain. After revealing her biggest bargaining chip, her attitude was firm.
"Han Yunxi, this is the betrothal token your father gave to your mother. Such an important item should be worth the Mu family at least. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's trial! "Lady Lianxin left without looking back.
She was very confident that even if Han Yunxi didn't care for this item, Long Fei Ye wouldn't give it up. Any man with ambitions in the world wouldn't let go of anything related to the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion!
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye exchanged glances. They hadn't expected to find clues about the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion under these circumstances. Han Yunxi didn't even have time to ponder over her origins for a while.
The Perplexing Butterfly Illusion was in their hands, and they'd even cultivated the Beauty's Blood. If they could get their hands on the Ten Thousand Year Blood Jade, would they be able to unravel the secrets hidden within the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion?
Han Yunxi grew excited at this thought. Something that even the detox system couldn't unravel had been in her hands for so long. She couldn't bear it!
"That's strange …" Gu suddenly muttered to himself.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye both looked at him, thinking the same thing. How much did this guy know about the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion?
"What's strange?" Han Yunxi asked.
Gu tore off his mask and asked seriously, "Your mother took away such an important item. Why didn't your father look for it? Is it because he can't find it, or is he no longer in this world? "
As he spoke, he muttered to himself, "The Poison Sect has been quiet all these years. Don't tell me they're all dead?"
Judging from Lady Lianxin's words, she didn't know the whereabouts of this mysterious sect head either.
Han Yunxi suddenly thought of Lady Tianxin's death. Was it purely an accident, or did it have something to do with this sect head? If it had something to do with it, why hadn't the sect head come looking for her yet?
Thinking about this, Han Yunxi felt that the scales in her heart were tilted for the first time. She was more inclined to believe that Madam Tianxin had died from a difficult birth.
Long Fei Ye had been keeping an eye on the Poison Sect because of the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion. After learning the truth from Mute Granny, he'd sent more people to track down the remnants of the Poison Sect, but there was still no news.
Even the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds, which had been active more than a decade ago, had fallen silent. Moreover, his mother had stolen the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion from the Poison Sect back then, but the Poison Sect hadn't done anything to this day.
Long Fei Ye considered all aspects. At this time, his thoughts were similar to Han Yunxi's. "Perhaps, they will never come."
"Hmph, it's good that they never find us. Even if they do, we won't be afraid!" Gu said Coldly.
The word 'we' made Han Yunxi's heart warm. Long Feiye gave him a doubtful look, a look of disdain in his eyes.
"The Ten Thousand Year Blood Jade isn't much. The Perplexing Butterfly Illusion is the real deal. I wonder who has it," Gu muttered to himself.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye exchanged glances. Han Yunxi spoke up, "Old Ghost, will the Ten Thousand Year Blood Jade be enough to break through the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion?"
Gu didn't answer, but looked at Long Fei Ye instead. "You've been eyeing the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion for a long time, haven't you?"
"Duh!" Long Fei Ye said.
"So you want to know the answer too?" Gu asked with interest.
"Get out if you keep blabbering!" Long Fei Ye had never been patient, especially when it came to Gu.
Gu had always been patient, especially when it came to Long Fei Ye. Not only did he not leave, he even sat down on the table. "Long Fei Ye, as long as you agree to help me destroy the medical academy, I'll tell you everything I know!"
This was already the second time Gu had made this request. Long Fei Ye asked disdainfully, "Revenge?"
He could tell that Gu didn't have the ambition to devour Medical City.
"It's none of your business!" Gu was very fierce.
"Old Ghost, what did the medical academy do to you back then?" Han Yunxi was also curious.
Every time his wound was touched, he would be rude to anyone. Only in front of Han Yunxi could he still smile. "It's none of your business. Be good, don't ask anymore."
Long Fei Ye casually pulled Han Yunxi behind him, then said to Gu coldly, "This prince can promise you, but I'm afraid you can't afford to wait!"
It wasn't that easy to take down Medical City. In Long Fei Ye's plan, Medical City was the last and most difficult step.
He vaguely guessed that the secret of the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion might be related to Medical City, so he never urged Han Yunxi to solve it.
"Hehe, as long as you can do it, I can afford to wait!" Gu said arrogantly.
Although he didn't like it, Long Fei Ye still admired Gu's temper. "Alright, this prince agrees!"
Gu stretched out his hand. Long Fei Ye didn't understand, "What for?"
"Let's make an oath. I, Gu, will do my best to help you solve the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion. You, Long Fei Ye, will do your best to help me get my revenge! If there's a violation … "
As Gu spoke, he gave Han Yunxi a meaningful look. Han Yunxi couldn't help but tremble. This guy's eyes are so scary. What does he want?
"If there's a violation, what will happen?" Long Fei Ye asked.
Gu approached him, "If there's a violation, you'll definitely become enemies with Han Yunxi, and there'll never be a day of reconciliation!"
Long Fei Ye was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time. Gu asked coldly, "What, you don't dare?"
Long Fei Ye didn't answer. Instead, he retreated and gave Gu three high fives, "Then it's settled!"
"What's settled?" Han Yunxi hurriedly asked.
Gu changed the topic with a smile, "Poison lass, the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion is already in your hands, right?"
When he mentioned the whereabouts of the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion, these two weren't concerned at all. Instead, they were concerned about the Ten Thousand Year Blood Jade. How could he not guess?
Han Yunxi didn't dare to answer on her own, but Long Fei Ye generously admitted, "Yes! Moreover, the Beauty's Blood has already been cultivated. "
The agreement was already set, and Gu would find out sooner or later. There was no point in hiding it.
"Beauty's Blood!" Gu was shocked. "Long Fei Ye, you know quite a lot!"
"You haven't answered my question," Long Fei Ye reminded.
"Hehe, you need nine things to break the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion. The Metal of Ten Thousand Poisons, the Wood of Ten Thousand Poisons, the Water of Ten Thousand Poisons, the Fire of Ten Thousand Poisons, the Earth of Ten Thousand Poisons, as well as human blood, corpse blood, beast blood, and …"
"And what?" Han Yunxi asked anxiously.
A trace of sadness flashed through Gu's eyes. He smiled, "What's the ninth thing … I don't know either. It won't be easy to find the first eight, so take your time."
Metal of Ten Thousand Poisons, Wood of Ten Thousand Poisons, Water of Ten Thousand Poisons, Fire of Ten Thousand Poisons, Earth of Ten Thousand Poisons …
Han Yunxi was very surprised. Although these things were all poisons, she had never heard of them before. Furthermore, the huge database of the detoxification system didn't have any records of them, so it couldn't detect them. No wonder she couldn't decipher them.
"What are these things?"
Even a professional like Han Yunxi was confused, let alone Long Fei Ye. He frowned as he asked.
"The first five are called the Five Elements Poisons. They're naturally formed and exist in the five forms of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Of all the things in the world, only these Five Elements Poisons can react with the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion."
As soon as Gu finished speaking, Han Yunxi was shocked. She hurriedly took out a porcelain bottle filled with poisonous water from her medical pouch. As soon as Gu opened it, he sensed a very strange poisonous aura.
"This is …" he asked suspiciously. He only knew that there was poison, but he couldn't tell what kind of poison it was.
"Perplexing Butterfly Illusion, Beauty's Blood, and … the poison pond water in Herb Forest!" Han Yunxi said seriously.
The last time she was at the black market, she had only tried it out. She had taken a little bit of Perplexing Butterfly Illusion and Beauty's Blood and added it to the poison water, but she had clearly felt the corrosive properties of the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion weaken.
"Does this count as a reaction?" she asked seriously.
Gu was overjoyed. "That's it! It looks like the water in the poison pond is the Water of Ten-Thousand Poisons! Poison girl, where did you get this thing? Wasn't the pond dry? "
Long Fei Ye was also about to ask. He had seen the poison pond water instantly disappear with his own eyes.
"I … I casually stole a little bit from the side of the pond."
Han Yunxi averted her gaze. "Fortunately, I stole some back then. Otherwise, I'd probably never be able to find this water again."
She only knew that lying in front of these two fellows was the hardest thing in the world, but she didn't know that these two were the people who trusted her the most in the world.
The fight at the poison pond back then had been so chaotic that Long Fei Ye couldn't even remember if Han Yunxi had taken any water, but he didn't think too much about it.
"The Earth of Ten-Thousand Poisons is in the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds' poison storage. Supposedly, the poison plants there are very similar to the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion. It's not hard to find this thing, "Gu said seriously.
Han Yunxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Last time, she and Long Fei Ye had gone to the poison storage and brought back some poison orchids for research, but they had neglected the soil where they grew them …
"It really isn't hard to find …" she murmured.
Long Feiye asked, "Gu Qishao, where did you hear all this from?"
Gu arched a brow at him. "No comment."
Long Fei Ye hadn't even told him where the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion came from, so why was he asking him so much? Of course, he wasn't interested in where Long Fei Ye had gotten the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion from. Besides Han Yunxi, he was only interested in destroying the medical academy.
Han Yunxi's attention was completely focused on these nine things. She muttered to herself, "The human blood should be the Beauty's Blood, and the corpse blood should be the Ten-Thousand Year Blood Jade."
The blood jade came from the mouth of a ten-thousand year old corpse in the Valley of the Kings. It was formed from the corpse's blood energy solidified in the jade stone.
Gu nodded. "The beast blood is the poisonous blood in that little thing's teeth. It'll take some time to extract its poison."
Lil Thing was probably sleeping in Gu Beiyue's arms right now. Han Yunxi had given it some blood last time, but it still hadn't recovered. It wasn't that Han Yunxi hadn't given it any nourishment, but that its special blood not only needed to be nourished by poison plants, but also time.
"These three things are human, corpse, and beast poisons, so the ninth one … should also be poison, right? Human, corpse, beast … "Han Yunxi looked at Gu suspiciously." What the hell else is there? "
Gu coughed lightly. "How would I know? Let's take our time to investigate! "
A complicated look flitted across Long Fei Ye's eyes. Seeing that Han Yunxi still wanted to ask, he immediately changed the topic. "Let's get the Ten-Thousand Year Blood Jade first."
Madam Lianxin had left without looking back after placing such a big bet. How were they supposed to deal with her?
