Fifteen minutes later, the black-feathered bird flew back from the opposite side and placed the paper it was carrying in its beak into Liu Sisi's hand.

The letter read, "If you want the antidote, go and buy it yourself. The antidote for Wan Hua Luo costs ten thousand taels of silver per bottle."

Despite reading just two lines, Liu Sisi sensed the dissatisfaction in his tone.

She asked the black-feathered bird, "Didn't you say that if you relayed the message, he would deliver it himself? Why are you making me buy it myself now?"

The black-feathered bird looked smug after hearing the snowbird's translation.

"Hmph, my master said that he was very unhappy that you captured us, and he wants to avenge us."

Liu Sisi was so angry she laughed. "Wasn't it you who tried to bite my snowbird without even asking what happened, which is why I caught you?"

Since the great shaman wanted to make things difficult for her, she accepted the challenge. She raised her hand and recalled all her spirit pets into her spatial storage. Grabbing two black-feathered birds with both hands, she took off and flew towards the small courtyard halfway up the mountain.

The movements were so fast that the black-feathered bird didn't even notice the snowbirds suddenly disappearing.

Seeing her actions, the black-feathered bird shouted, "Are you out of your mind?"

Unfortunately, Liu Sisi couldn't understand its words and only found its voice too harsh.

As Liu Sisi was in mid-air, many arrows suddenly flew out from the mountain and shot towards her.

She quickly threw the two black-feathered birds into the courtyard, her body moving swiftly through the air to dodge all the attacks.

Before long, the rain of arrows ended, and iron chains shot out from the other side, accompanied by flower petals, constantly hitting Liu Sisi.

Fearing the flower might be poisonous, Liu Sisi quickly darted towards the courtyard, only to find it riddled with traps and various hidden weapons aimed at her.

Inside the house in the courtyard sat an elderly man who looked to be over fifty years old.

His hair was gray, but he was dressed in dark clothes, which were very similar in color to the black-feathered birds. He picked up his black-feathered birds and put them back in their little nest.

He went back into his room, holding a small bottle in one hand and a bamboo tong in the other, seemingly preparing something.

He always had a cold smile on his lips. Many people came seeking the antidote, but those who disrespected him or displeased him all fell into the bottom of the mountain and became food for his poisonous insects.

In his eyes, Liu Sisi was just a little girl who knew a little martial arts and was arrogant and ignorant.

So he didn't even lift his eyelids; in any case, his poisonous insects would be ready for their daily feast in less than fifteen minutes.

Looking outside, Liu Sisi was constantly blocking all the flying projectiles in the air, which made her a little annoyed.

She immediately removed the pendant from her body, enlarged the Heavenly Sword to its maximum size, and shouted outside, "If you don't come out soon, your little courtyard may be doomed."

Since the other party was so impolite, Liu Sisi no longer tolerated it. She ended it with a single sword strike and decided to go find the antidote herself. At worst, she could take it all back and let Fifth Brother and Physician Gong identify it.

The old man inside heard Liu Sisi's voice and still smiled, but he still looked up.

This was a crucial moment for him. He saw the little girl holding a sword as big as a mountain, about to cleave it down into her courtyard.

Even he, who was usually calm and composed, couldn't help but panic.

He quickly pressed the button for the mechanism he had set up, strode out of his room, and loudly replied to Liu Sisi.

"Please have mercy, young lady. We can talk this over. Please come in."

Looking at the sword in Liu Sisi's hand, he thought to himself that this girl was no ordinary person. He wondered who she was. If she were to strike him with her sword like that, not only would his courtyard and house be destroyed, but the mountain would probably be cleaved in two.

Upon hearing his words and seeing that there were no more hidden weapons or chains attacking her, Liu Sisi successfully flew into the courtyard.

"Are you the Great Shaman of Miaonan Kingdom?" The voice was clear and melodious, and the face was innocent and naive.

Looking at the beautiful young girl before him, who seemed like a figure in a painting, the old man simply couldn't reconcile her with the man who had just brandished a sword and tried to hack into his yard.

As he looked Liu Sisi up and down, he replied to her, "Yes, that's me."

Seeing that he was an elderly man over fifty, Liu Sisi bowed in greeting.

"Grandmaster Shaman, I have no intention of offending you. I only resorted to this desperate measure because of the emergency. I only ask for a bottle of the antidote for Wan Hua Luo. Just name your price, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory price."

Seeing that Liu Sisi's manners were fairly proper, the shaman didn't make things difficult for her further (mainly because he was afraid his own courtyard might be in danger).

"Come in!"

Liu Sisi followed him into the great shaman's house.

Upon entering, you'll see a large wooden shelf in the room, filled with countless small bottles of all kinds.

There were also some jars and pots, the contents of which were unknown. In the main hall of the house, there was a table with some lids open, which were probably some medicines that had not yet been processed.

The shaman pointed to the chair, indicating that Liu Sisi should sit down.

Liu Sisi found the room too eerie and didn't want to stay any longer.

So she didn't sit down, but said, "Great Shaman, please take out the antidote for Wan Hua Luo. I will pay the money and leave immediately, and I will definitely not bother you again."

The shaman took the bottle he had just half-made and the bamboo clips and started working on it again.

"Don't rush, young lady, I'm mixing it right now." He said to Liu Sisi as he worked.

"Where did the young lady learn her skills? She is so outstanding."

Liu Sisi thought to herself, "Hurry up and do it! This old man talks too much." But she didn't show it on her face and replied.

“My master doesn’t want me to mention her in front of others, and he’s always on the move, so I don’t know where he is.”

"Oh? Girl, you're still a wild apprentice. Why don't you become my disciple? I see you're very talented and suited for making and detoxifying poisons. I also know mechanical arts, and I can teach you all of that," the Great Shaman said, looking at Liu Sisi.

"Huh? I'm not from your Miao Nan Kingdom, and we've only known each other for less than an hour, and you already think I'm exceptionally talented? Taking me as a disciple is a bit too casual!"

Liu Sisi couldn't quite understand this person's thought process.

"Well, I don't just take on disciples randomly. I choose based on my first impression. I've only ever had one disciple in my life. He was exceptionally talented and highly skilled in martial arts, but my small courtyard couldn't accommodate him. In the end, he ran away from me. Since I couldn't keep him, I stopped caring about him."

The high priest seemed lost in memories.

"So you've taken a liking to me? Aren't you the Great Shaman of Miao Nan Kingdom? There must be many people who want to become your disciples! Why are you looking for me?"

He certainly didn't just take on any disciple; he only saw that Liu Sisi was so skilled that she would surely be able to protect the rare and precious poisons and antidotes he made, instead of having to hide in the mountains like him.
