Chapter 22 Netherworld Poison Lord
Mu Zhan didn't continue talking to Ya Fei, turned around and left. He went to several other stalls to try his luck, but still didn't succeed.
"It seems I still don't have the luck of being a chosen one."
Mu Zhan shook his head and prepared to turn and leave.
"Is this what Young Master Mu Zhan is looking for?"
Ya Fei's voice came from behind. Mu Zhan turned around and saw that Ya Fei was holding a black jade piece in her hand, which was very similar to the description in the original work.
Mu Zhan approached Ya Fei, took the jade piece from her hand, and tried to probe it directly with his soul perception, but was blocked.
Based on this phenomenon, Mu Zhan was basically certain that this jade piece was the one he was looking for.
"Miss Yafei, how did you know what I was looking for?"
Mu Zhan was a little confused about the character Ya Fei. How did she know what she was looking for and how did she manage to find it?
"Ya Fei just saw that Young Master Mu Zhan was dismissive of the prescriptions and medicinal herbs on the stall, but was more interested in miscellaneous items such as iron pieces and jade pieces, so she guessed that Young Master Mu Zhan might be looking for similar items."
Ya Fei is indeed a smart woman; she can guess Mu Zhan's purpose simply by observing his behavior.
"But how do you know this is what I want?"
Mu Zhan was a little confused. Ya Fei's cultivation level was not high, and her soul power was not strong. Logically speaking, she should not have noticed the extraordinary nature of the jade piece.
"Ya Fei really didn't know. But when I passed by the stall just now, this jade piece gave me a different feeling. I thought it must be something special. Perhaps Young Master Mu Zhan would be interested. I just didn't expect to stumble upon it by accident."
Seeing Mu Zhan's expression, Ya Fei roughly knew that she had found the right person, and she felt a little happy.
"This…"
Mu Zhan was somewhat confused. Relying on intuition? Was it fate or did Ya Fei possess a talent that wasn't even shown in the original work?
"It seems that those who become supporting actresses may have their own extraordinary qualities and are not as simple as they appear on the surface."
Looking at Ya Fei in front of him, Mu Zhan guessed that Ya Fei might also have her own talents that she herself was unaware of, but which were not shown in the original work.
"Anyway, thank you, Miss Yafei. May I ask what you need my help with?"
Mu Zhan put away the jade piece and, without wasting any words, directly asked Ya Fei about her purpose. He didn't believe that Ya Fei was attracted to him by his charm, given her enthusiasm in getting to know him and helping him find things. Mu Zhan didn't believe that she did all this because she was attracted to him.
Ya Fei is a shrewd woman; she usually does things with a purpose.
"Young Master Mu Zhan is really straightforward. Ya Fei really wants to make friends with Young Master Mu Zhan and also make a deal with him."
Ya Fei was surprised that Mu Zhan saw through her purpose so quickly, so she simply got straight to the point.
"What kind of deal?"
Mu Zhan looked at the shrewd Ya Fei in front of him. This woman was basically perfect in everything except for her lack of talent in cultivation.
"I've heard that the Mu family has been collecting poisons lately, the more the better, and the more potent the better. I happen to have a batch of extremely high-grade poisons here, transported from the Izumo Empire. I wonder if Young Master Mu Zhan..."
Ya Fei learned through various means that the Mu family was collecting poison for Mu Zhan, so she wanted to use this opportunity to establish a connection with the Mu family and Mu Zhan, which would make it easier to expand other collaborations in the future.
"Of course, I'll take as much poison as you give me."
Since it concerned Little Fairy Doctor's cultivation, Mu Zhan felt that it was worth investing more, since he was so poor that all he had left was money. As an alchemist and the young master of a family, money was the last thing he lacked.
"Thank you, Young Master Mu Zhan. Actually, I have another request to make," Ya Fei said shyly.
"Oh, Miss Yafei, please speak."
Mu Zhan felt that what followed might be Ya Fei's true objective.
"Well... when my family introduces you to my future marriage partner, could I... use you as a shield, a fake one, as long as you don't deny it?"
Ya Fei felt ashamed. She felt she had been unreasonable, but there was nothing she could do. Even if she didn't marry Mu Zhan, she would be married off to a young master from another family.
She really didn't want to be a tool for a political marriage, so she had no choice but to resort to this tactic. At least she didn't dislike Mu Zhan after spending time with him today.
"No problem, it won't affect me at all."
Mu Zhan thought it was something serious, but considering that Ya Fei had just found the jade piece for him, and that using her as a shield didn't seem to affect him much, he agreed.
"Really?! Thank you, Young Master Mu Zhan!"
Ya Fei was pleasantly surprised. She was prepared to be rejected, but Mu Zhan actually agreed.
"It's alright. If there's nothing else, Miss Yafei, I'll take my leave."
Mu Zhan didn't think it was a big deal. He was more interested in the Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire in the jade tablet. After saying hello, he took his leave.
"Have I really lost my charm?"
Seeing Mu Zhan leave in such a hurry, Ya Fei couldn't help but doubt her own charm.
"Does he prefer smaller girls? But it's not my fault I'm big!"
She thought of the two girls who had walked with Mu Zhan on the street that day. They were both petite. Ya Fei couldn't help but touch her full and perky breasts, feeling a little dejected.
Mu Zhan rushed back to the Mu family home in a hurry, and locked himself in his room as soon as he got home.
After closing the door, Mu Zhan took out the jade piece. The jade piece was black with scratches and had a sense of age.
A blue flame ignited in Mu Zhan's hand, continuously burning the jade piece.
"This jade piece is indeed extraordinary."
After being burned with the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire for ten minutes, the jade piece remained intact, further confirming Mu Zhan's belief that this was indeed the jade piece.
After the strange fire had been burning for half an hour, the surface of the jade piece peeled off, revealing the characters inside to Mu Zhan.
"This isn't the Secret Technique Heavenly Fire Three Transformations; this is... information about the Netherworld Poison Fire!"
Mu Zhan understood the contents of those words. They were not records of the Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire, but rather information about the Netherworld Poison Fire, which ranked twentieth on the list of strange fires.
Mu Zhan learned that the jade tablet was left behind by a man called the Netherworld Poison Master, and it contained records of his poison master lineage and the strange fire he possessed during his lifetime.
The location of the inheritance and the strange fire recorded in this jade tablet, according to Mu Zhan's rough calculations, is located in the present-day Izumo Empire. The jade tablet also records how to find the place of inheritance and how to enter the place of inheritance.
"Although I cannot confirm the authenticity of the inheritance, I will definitely take Little Fairy Doctor to the Izumo Empire in the future."
The method Mu Zhan mentioned earlier, which completely cured the Calamity Poison Body and required a bit of luck, was the Netherworld Poison Fire technique. After all, strange fires are hard to find, so he felt that it might require a bit of luck.
But luck really came. Although it's uncertain whether it's true or not, at least we have a general direction.
"Those are all things for the future. What I need to do now is to make myself stronger."
"Next step, Canaan Academy!"
