The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 316 - 190: The Origin

Indeed, as soon as the whistle entered, his first words were in a deep voice: "It is said that someone was poisoned by your elixir and sought out Deng."

Her elixir could poison someone? Ning Xiaoxian’s eyebrows raised, and she stood up. Qiongqi from the God Demon Prison jumped three feet high, if it were a living creature, it might have already been spitting blood in anger: "Can my grand elixir from Lord Qiongqi kill a person? Who is the bastard daring to spout such nonsense?"

She naturally had confidence in the medicine she produced. How powerful is the Fu Yu Tripod as a magic artifact, could the medicine it refines cause someone to die from consumption? This must be because the person was beyond saving, right? 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Her first reaction was that Xia Banhua was playing tricks again. But looking at this person’s manner, wasn’t it decided only to cause minor trouble? After all, they are still colleagues in the future, is it necessary to take such severe action? So she changed her mind.

She calmly said: "Let’s go." With her current abilities, she could always investigate until everything becomes clear.

She and the whistle had just walked two streets when Tu Jin, who received orders from Changtian, silently followed her. The whistle glanced at him before continuing to explain to Ning Xiaoxian: "The incident happened at Chen Mansion. Last evening, Master Chen sent a servant to buy two medicine pills from the medicine shop, and after taking them this morning, he fell critically ill. Chen Mansion urgently called a doctor, but there was little improvement, and it is said that Master Chen is now breathing more out than in."

"How do you know the elixir came from me?"

"The people from Chen Family thought it over, their master only took a new elixir in the morning, everything else was as usual, so they approached the medicine shop. The shop disclosed that the source was Deng. Deng has already rushed to Chen Mansion, and has instructed me to find you for help." He paused, "The Chen Family is a major household in Anping City, this matter has already alarmed the officials. The Prince’s Mansion of Leizhou is unfortunately located in Anping City, so official power here is not to be underestimated."

The elixir in Deng Hao’s hands had already been sold out, if there was supply to the local medicine shop these two days, it could only have been from Ning Xiaoxian.

Because of demons and Immortal powers being too strong, the human world has not yet established a real nation. The world is divided into three hundred and sixty states, she heard that some counties in the North under their respective Immortal Sect or Demon Sect have begun to annex other regions, but this battle has not yet reached the Southern and Western parts of the Nan Zhanbu Continent. Therefore, in these states before her, the Commandery Prince was already a very powerful local tyrant.

Secular people must abide by secular powers. Even though she has now stepped into the Immortal Path, Deng Hao and the Cloud Tiger Trading Team have not. Before the whistle went out to find her, he had already done his homework, and it is said that Master Chen’s second daughter was given as a concubine to the only son of the Prince of Leizhou, so if this matter is not handled well, it might even reach the Prince’s Mansion.

Although Qingfeng Trading Company is powerful, but as the saying goes, even a mighty dragon cannot oppress a local snake, if Deng Hao cannot handle this matter well, it will be difficult for him to do business under the branch in Leizhou in the future!

Ning Xiaoxian understands that the favor Deng Hao is asking for is to save Master Chen’s life. If life can be saved, everything else can be discussed.

Chen Mansion in Anping City indeed is also a wealthy family, their facade, though not as flamboyantly magnificent as those made rich overnight, still spoke of high-end, sophisticated style with its small bridge flowing waters and exquisitely cared for exotic flowers and plants. Ning Xiaoxian spared a glance at everything in the courtyard finely arranged and couldn’t help but sigh internally.

If you want to observe if the owner of a mansion has good taste, just look at the layout of the courtyard. It seems that the Chen Mansion is not only wealthy locally but also reputable. If her elixir really caused Master Chen’s death, she could just leave unobstructed, but it would indeed make life difficult for the Cloud Tiger Trading Team afterward.

They were led by a servant to the main hall of Chen Mansion, and even before stepping onto the porch, they heard a woman’s sobbing inside, mingled with the low voice of Deng Hao: "There must be something fishy about this matter; please Chen Bucao give us some more time, I will surely investigate until everything becomes clear."

There’s a Bucao in this Chen Mansion! Ning Xiaoxian felt a surge of worry. Bucao manages the documents for the Commandery Prince, an important civilian position closely related to the ruler. Then she heard a middle-aged man’s voice trying to suppress his anger, presumably Chen Bucao: "This medicine poisoned my father, his life hangs by a thread now. Deng Hao, will you hand over the person who refined the medicine, or will your merchant team take responsibility for this?"

Deng Hao hesitated, then said deeply: "The person who refined the medicine is already on her way. But the elixir she refined is unquestionably without issues, the poison afflicted upon Master Chen must have another source. I only need three days, no, two days, to find out!"
