Chapter 1015: Poisoned and Unconscious (3)
“Haha! What’s the purpose of letting them prepare their own materials? Have you forgotten? If the other artificers are willing to use the supreme-grade Void Stone, they can also use it. However, they did not, so how can they blame others? Vice President Yin, don’t you even understand this logic?” Liu Feng sneered. Among the artificers partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion, many of them came from top families. However, they were not willing to use the supreme-grade Void Stone. Therefore, even if they lost, they could not blame others.
“Liu Feng is right. The purpose of letting them prepare their own materials is also to test their ability. If an artifact master can’t even obtain the materials, there’s no future for them. Moreover, no one forced them to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion with low-level materials. If they lose, they lose. There’s no need for Vice President Yin to find any excuses for them.” Mo Yan chuckled.
“But this won’t be able to find out the true genius artificer!” Yin Rumei refused to give up.
“Vice President Yin, whether a blacksmith can succeed is one thing, but personal opportunities are equally important. If they don’t have good opportunities, their starting point can only be lower than others. Therefore, let’s not discuss this matter anymore,” Mo Yan said decisively.
“President Lu, go and announce the results!” Mo Yan instructed President Lu, who was trembling in fear.
“Yes,” President Lu quickly replied. Then, he immediately left the conference room. As he left, President Lu still had a lingering fear. Boohoo… There were still three more matches! If the three of them were to argue like this every time, then they would have a huge problem on their hands.
After the second round of results came out, Leng Ruoxue and the others were extremely calm and did not celebrate. After all, the materials used by the Old Man Zao were superior after all! If he could not get first place even after this, there was no need to partic.i.p.ate in this compet.i.tion.
At this moment, Leng Ruoxue and the others had just eaten dinner and were chatting in the garden.
“Butler, what’s the matter?” Leng Ruoxue saw the timid butler standing not far away from the corner of her eye and couldn’t help but ask in amus.e.m.e.nt. Sigh! Were they that scary?! Now, Di Ren’s butler was like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw them.
“Miss Leng, Ruhua… Ruhua wants to find Lord Leng Xiaoyu,” the butler said fearfully, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
“What did you say?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
“I said, I wonder if His Excellency Leng Xiaoyu is here. He seems to have gone out.” The butler wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
“Yes! Butler, you did well this time,” Leng Xiaoyu praised.
“Your Excellency Leng Xiaoyu, are you meeting her or not?” the butler asked carefully.
“Little Xue’er, what do you think?” Leng Xiaoyu looked at Leng Ruoxue and asked.
“Old Ancestor, you can decide for yourself. Anyway, she’s not here to see us.” Leng Ruoxue smiled evilly.
“Little Xue’er, are you really not going to care about me?” Leng Xiaoyu said aggrievedly.
“Cheapsake Old Ancestor, I can’t help you with relations.h.i.+ps! This kind of thing has to be resolved by the person involved. If I interfere, I’ll be looking for trouble,” Leng Ruoxue said helplessly.
“Alright then! I’ll go see her one last time and clear things up with her,” Leng Xiaoyu said helplessly. With that, he left the courtyard.
However, he never returned. Leng Ruoxue and the others did not see Leng Xiaoyu return even when they were resting.
“Did anything happen to the Cheapsake Old Ancestor?” Leng Ruoxue muttered to the freak worriedly before bed.
“This is the Artificer a.s.sociation, and he’s Mo Yan’s beloved disciple. What can happen?!” The freak said disapprovingly. Leng Xiaoyu was also scheming! Ordinary people could not scheme against him.
“Yes, that’s true.” Leng Ruoxue thought about it and went to sleep.
The next day.
Leng Ruoxue and the others left the room and saw Fu Ran standing alone in the courtyard, as if he was waiting for them. However, he hesitated when he saw them.
“Fu Ran, what’s the matter?” Leng Ruoxue couldn’t help but ask curiously. These few days, Fu Ran had been very quiet in her room and rarely came out to move around. Why did she come out today?
“Xue’er, um… do you have any pills to cure the aphrodisiac?” Fu Ran asked after some thought.
“What kind of aphrodisiac? Who was poisoned?” Leng Ruoxue’s curiosity was piqued and her beautiful eyes sized up Fu Ran. Could it be that Fu Ran was poisoned? It didn’t look like it!
Aphrodisiac was also a type of aphrodisiac. However, its effects were better than aphrodisiacs. Furthermore, aphrodisiacs were no longer effective against cultivators of their level. However, aphrodisiacs were different. Aphrodisiacs were a type of potent aphrodisiac that someone had specially developed to target the physique of G.o.ds.
After being poisoned by the aphrodisiac, even a G.o.d would have to endure the unbearable torture. The aphrodisiac had an antidote, but the materials used were extremely precious. Ordinary people could not take it out, let alone refine it.
“Don’t worry about who it is. If you have an antidote, give me one. I need it urgently,” Fu Ran said anxiously.
“You can’t take the antidote randomly. You have to know that there are many types of aphrodisiacs with differing antidote is naturally the same. Therefore, we can’t help you if you don’t let us see this person,” Leng Ruoxue explained.
“Really?” Fu Ran was skeptical. He was good at refining weapons, but he was a layman when it came to alchemy, and he had never been poisoned by the aphrodisiac, so he couldn’t tell if Leng Ruoxue was telling the truth.
“If you don’t believe me, ask Zheng En. He’s an alchemist.” Leng Ruoxue pulled Zheng En in front of Fu Ran and said. Hehe! Even though Fu Ran didn’t dare to believe her, Zheng En was her savior! He would probably believe him!
“Really?” Fu Ran asked carefully. Oh! Xiaoyu had specially told her that his descendant was a little fox, so she had to be careful not to fall for it!
“Yes, really.” Zheng En braced himself. However, when he saw Fu Ran’s trusting look, he couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. However, he didn’t dare not to follow Miss’s words!
In fact, there were many types of aphrodisiac, as Miss had said. The herbs needed to refine the aphrodisiac were as precious as the herbs used for its antidote. Some could not even be bought with money. Therefore, unless it was a particularly top-notch family, no one would be willing to use so many good herbs to refine the aphrodisiac that everyone despised. Many alchemists with a sense of justice and conscience would not refine such harmful things. Therefore, there were actually not many aphrodisiacs around.
