“What do you need? Tell me,” Dongfang Mian said.

“A total of five poisonous substances are needed as catalysts: the venom of the gold and silver snake, the eggs of the purple-spotted toad, the whiskers of the blue-legged centipede, as well as the Soul-Severing Grass and the Soul-Free Fruit,” said the head of the Shi family, completely unaware that Dongfang Mian’s hands, hidden in his sleeves, were clenched into fists and trembling uncontrollably.

Dongfang Mian was absolutely furious. Listen to this talk of "soul-severing" and "soulless"! How could a grown man shamelessly use such despicable methods on a child like Bao Bao, and even say it with such pride? If it weren't for that damned sense of the bigger picture, Dongfang Mian would have loved to fight the Shi family head to the death right now.

"I wonder if Miss Dongfang thinks that using these poisonous substances as a catalyst will achieve the desired effect?" the Shi family head asked. Although it sounded like he was testing Dongfang Mian again, this time he was genuinely seeking a solution.

Because this formula was jointly developed by the clan's royal-level poison masters, the Shi family head was not entirely at ease with it. However, the clan's emperor-level poison masters never interfered in the clan's affairs. So, when he met Dongfang Mian this time, the Shi family head was genuinely eager to learn from her.

Dongfang Mian rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Will it still achieve the desired effect? ​​If it does, what will happen to my baby?"

Seeing Dongfang Mian's displeasure, the Shi family head thought he had said something wrong again and hurriedly explained, "Miss Dongfang, you may not know this, but most of the poisonous creatures in the Medicine Domain are gathered in the Poisonous Swamp Forest. Anyone who enters there, except for poison masters, will surely die. These few poisonous creatures are the highest-grade poisons that our family's poison masters judged we could possibly collect based on the danger level of the forest."

Seeing that Dongfang Mian ignored him, the Shi family head was about to explain in more detail when the girl in front of him took out a small wooden stick that emitted a dark light and started crunching on it.

Seeing the Shi family head standing there dumbfounded, Dongfang Mian kindly handed him the 'small wooden stick' and said, "Try it? It's a high-grade poison called Soul-Snatching Root. It's quite delicious, but a bit hard and tough on your teeth."

Upon hearing this, the head of the Shi family instantly dodged three meters away, waving his hands frantically and saying, "I have no good fortune to share."

Good heavens, Dongfang Mian's words made the Shi family head break out in a cold sweat. The Shi family head was not a high-level poison master. Besides, even if someone was a high-level poison master, the Shi family head had never seen anyone eat poison directly as a snack. It seems that this girl in front of him really lived up to her reputation. As expected of an Emperor-level poison master, her hobby is enough to make people shudder.

After finishing the Soul-Seizing Root, Dongfang Mian seemed to remember something and asked the Shi family head, "What did you just say was a catalyst? The Soulless Fruit?"

“Yes, Miss Dongfang, the Soulless Fruit is the hardest to obtain in this plan. It is said that the Soulless Fruit is guarded by many high-level poisonous beasts, and its growing environment is extremely dangerous. I don’t know how many excellent poison masters we will lose because of this,” the Shi family head sighed.

Before the long sigh had even finished, Dongfang Mian tossed over a round fruit and said, "Don't worry about it, I have some here. It's not free; it's market price."

"This...this is the Soulless Fruit?" The Shi family head's eyes widened. Although he had often heard of it, he had never seen what the Soulless Fruit looked like.

"What, would I lie to you? If you don't want it, fine, give it back to me," Dongfang Mian said, reaching out to take it.

"Yes, yes, yes!" the Shi family head hurriedly stopped him, but he didn't dare to take it empty-handed like Dongfang Mian. Instead, he put on special gloves and put away the Soulless Fruit as if it were a precious treasure.

"I'll have someone bring you the money later; the price will definitely satisfy you," the Shi family head said gratefully.
