Lu Ming winked at Sang Wusheng, who nodded gently in understanding. The two of them nonchalantly put a piece of meat in their mouths and chewed it, but secretly put it under their tongues and pressed it down. After a while, they pretended to be knocked unconscious by the powder and fell to the ground motionless.
Seeing that the other party had been tricked, Hua Tui couldn't help but chuckle. He stood up and walked over. He patted Sang Wusheng's face with his hand, then looked at Lu Ming beside him and snorted, "He has such a handsome face, but I didn't expect him to be so stupid. He fell down with just a little bit of drugs."
Lu Ming sighed silently in his heart, honey, you are the stupid one!
Hua Tu took out a turquoise porcelain bottle from the Qiankun bag on his waist, unscrewed the bottle cap gently, and took out two pills with a chewy aroma. He said as if talking to himself: "This is the Soul-stealing Pill that I just refined. One for each of you. I'll give it to you two as a reward."
When Lu Ming heard these words, his heart skipped a beat. During the days in He Mansion, when he had nothing to do every day, he often went to the library to borrow books and read, and he also learned a little about some of the elixirs of the Alchemy Sect.
The Soul-stealing Pill is one of the most sinister and vicious pills in the Medicine Refining Sect. As you can tell from the name of this pill, it is a strange medicine that can steal the soul of others. An ordinary person only needs to take one pill, and the soul will slowly be pulled out of the body. Although it is not annihilated, the soul has dissipated. Over time, it becomes a walking corpse, ignorant all day long, with the intelligence of a newborn baby, and almost no ability to think and self-awareness.
It seems that Hua Tu wants Jing Mo and himself to eat this pill so that he can extract the souls in their bodies, and then use the souls to feed the insect Gu, thereby increasing the growth rate of the insect Gu several times or even a hundred times.
Because the Soul-stealing Pill is too cruel and poisonous, it was listed as one of the forbidden pills by the Alchemy Sect hundreds of years ago. If anyone dares to refine such a poisonous pill in private, he will be imprisoned or even killed. Because the punishment is so severe, few people dare to secretly refine the Soul-stealing Pill over the years. Looking at the entire cultivation world, no one dares to buy it and use it on others. I didn't expect that Hua Tui had such a poisonous pill. Although he is young, he really has a heart of a snake.
Lu Ming sighed secretly. When reading the novel, he did not think that she was so cruel. Instead, he felt that this woman dared to love and hate, and was completely devoted to Sang Wusheng. In the end, after she was killed by He Qingci, the comment section was full of complaints. After cursing the author, they cursed He Qingci. Even the male protagonist Sang Wusheng was criticized by readers for a long time for not protecting his lover.
When Lu Ming entered this world and became He Qingci, he witnessed many things with his own eyes. He felt that in this place where the strong prey on the weak, his life and death were always controlled by the strong, and the weak had no right to choose life or death at all.
Here, Hua Ti did not realize that the two were just pretending to sleep. She quickly bent down and was about to pry open Sang Wusheng's lips to feed the pill into his mouth when Sang Wusheng suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were so cold without a trace of warmth. In just a moment, he poured spiritual energy into the palm of his hand and raised his hand to chop Hua Ti fiercely.
Hua Tu was startled by the sudden change and took several steps back to avoid Sang Wusheng's fierce attack. She quickly pulled out the long whip from her waist and swung it to the ground. She smiled at Sang Wusheng and said, "My sleeping pills are always very strong. I will never wake you up so early. I'm sure you two have already seen it."
Lu Ming got up from the ground and said calmly, "Girl, we have no grudges against you, why do you have to harm us?"
Hua Tu raised her phoenix eyes slightly, glanced at Lu Ming, then smiled softly and said, "This young master is serious. I didn't mean to harm you. It's just that the little bugs are really hungry. I want to feed them your souls. You two can be considered to have died a worthy death."
Lu Ming just wanted to laugh at her. How could she say such shameless words?
Sang Wusheng glanced at Hua Tui coldly, and then said: "Brother, there is no need to waste time talking to her. This woman is cruel and vicious. It is better to just kill her and be done with it."
Lu Ming gently patted Sang Wusheng's shoulder, signaling him not to worry, and then said to Hua Tui: "Let me ask you, under the cliff outside the He Mansion, did you use that long whip to grab two women?"
Hua Tu was stunned for a moment, her eyes turned slightly, and then she smiled and said, "I have never encountered such a thing."
Lu Ming was speechless. This Hua Tu was vicious and full of lies. Although she was very beautiful, her values were really worrying. Sang Wusheng actually liked this type of woman? It was simply... a bit too strong.
Sang Wusheng's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly flew forward when Hua Tui was caught off guard, releasing the surging demonic energy in his body, instantly stopping Hua Tui's movements. Then he reached out and grabbed her throat, his fingers gradually tightened, as if with just a little force, he could take her life in an instant.
Hua Tu was completely shocked by the scene in front of her. She instinctively wanted to raise her hand and whip him, but she found that she couldn't move her whole body. She tried to move but was immediately stimulated by the needle-like pain and broke out in a cold sweat. Then, she suddenly smelled the familiar smell of the demon royal family, which made her face pale. Her brain made a loud bang and she was trembling on the spot.
After a long time, Hua Tu finally found her voice and uttered two words with trembling lips: "Demon... Lord..."
"If you don't want to die, shut up." Sang Wusheng deliberately lowered his voice and threatened Hua Tu coldly beside his ear. The cold voice sounded like it came from hell. Like a frightened bird, with tears of fear in his eyes, he hurriedly nodded and pursed his lips tightly, not daring to speak again.
Sang Wusheng said coldly to Hua Tui: "Where are those two women now? Tell me and I will spare your life."
Beads of sweat appeared on Hua Tu's forehead, and her voice was filled with tears: "Just now, just now they have already escaped!"
Sang Wusheng was stunned and asked hurriedly, "Escape? Weren't they knocked unconscious by you?"
Hua Tu's beautiful eyes were filled with tears of fear, and she said aggrievedly: "Tu'er dare not lie to the devil..."
Before Hua Tu could finish her words, Sang Wusheng tightened his grip on her neck and said angrily, "Don't call me Demon Lord anymore."
Hua Tui could only continue aggrievedly: "Tu'er would never dare to deceive you, sir. Please believe me."
Hearing this, Lu Ming immediately said, "Please tell me the whole story in detail."
Hua Tui did not dare to neglect and quickly answered: "That day I went down the cliff to collect herbs for making medicine. Suddenly I saw two women falling from the cliff. I used this soft whip to save them. I planned to use their souls to feed my poisonous insects. And because the whip had been soaked with sleeping pills, anyone who touched it would instantly fall into a coma, so I could easily take them away. But later, because I was not careful, I didn't realize that one of the women had already woken up, and was bitten by the poisonous insect she raised and couldn't move. Then she injured me and ran away. The other woman has also woken up at this moment, and she ran away while I was unable to move."
Lu Ming frowned and said, "The one who used the poisonous insect must be Xu Chouyan. In this case, Fu Shu should have escaped."
When Hua Tu heard Lu Ming's words, she pouted and cursed, "Humph, fortunately Tu'er is an excellent doctor. Otherwise, in this desolate wilderness, with no village in front and no shop behind, I'm afraid I would have been killed by her poisonous insects."
Lu Mingju looked at Hua Tui in silence, thinking to himself, this Xu Chouyan is indeed quite vicious, but compared to her, you are actually no different, okay? You can easily be cruel enough to take the lives of innocent people just for your own selfish interests. I really don't know where to start complaining.
Sang Wusheng then asked: "Let me ask you, how can the poison of 'Wu Sha' be cured?"
Hua Tu was stunned for a moment, then curled her lips and said, "Although I know the formula for the elixir that can cure the Wusha insect poison, each Wusha feeds on different poisonous grasses. There are more than tens of millions of poisonous grasses in the world. I just don't know which kind of poisonous grass fed the Wusha that you have. Only by finding this poisonous grass can we prescribe the right medicine and prepare an antidote. Sir, why don't you let me take a look for you?"
Sang Wusheng said coldly: "I can let you go temporarily, but remember not to play tricks."
Hua Tu's eyes were full of grievance: "I don't dare, sir, you have to believe me."
Sang Wusheng then took back his hand from her neck. Hua Tui patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly walked forward and got close to Lu Ming to take a closer look. After a long time, he said, "There are two blood marks behind the young master's ears. From this point of view, the poisonous insect must have been fed with purple heart grass in the beginning."
"Purple Heart Grass..." Sang Wusheng recited silently, and then asked, "Where can I find this Purple Heart Grass?"
Hua Tu searched his memory and recalled carefully: "Purple Heart Grass should only be found in Tianze Secret Realm. It can't be found anywhere else. I just happened to see someone selling it, so I spent a few thousand spirit stones to buy it from him. You can't buy this poisonous grass on the market on weekdays."
Lu Ming hurriedly asked: "Where is the Tianze Secret Realm?"
Hua Tu pointed to the west and said, "From this direction, it is about several hundred miles away from here. However, I advise you two not to go in. There are many dangers there, giant beasts often appear, and there are also terrifying and strange mazes. Few people who enter the Yulong Secret Realm can walk out alive."
Lu Ming sighed and said, "If we delay any longer, we will be killed by the poisonous insects sooner or later. It is better to give it a try."
Sang Wusheng smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, brother, nothing will happen."

Hua Tu wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Sang Wusheng with some fear and said: "Master, can I leave now?"
Sang Wusheng said calmly: "Hand over the prescription for the antidote for 'Wu Sha'."
Hua Tu looked evasive and said, "I didn't bring the prescription with me. I left it at home..."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Oh? Did you put it in the Jade Mountain in the Demon Realm?"
Hua Tu was terrified for a moment, and looked at Lu Ming in disbelief and said: "How could you..."
"How do I know about Jade Mountain?" Lu Ming said calmly, "I not only know that Jade Mountain is where you hide your treasure, but I also know that because you made a mistake before, the cave where you hide your treasure has been given eighteen forbidden talismans by the Saint King of the Demon Realm, and it cannot be opened within fifty years. If you dare to play tricks, I will find that place in a few days and set fire to Jade Mountain."
When Hua Tui heard that someone dared to covet her property, she couldn't help but bite her lips tightly, her eyes flashing with anger, and she was shaking with anger: "You! You have such a vicious heart!"
Lu Ming said calmly: "If you hand over the formula of the antidote, I will let you go; if you give me a fake formula, once I know it, I will immediately run over there and burn the mountain, destroying all the precious herbs and magic tools you have collected over the years."
Hua Tui seemed to have seen the tragic scene of all her treasures being burned in front of her eyes, and she cried anxiously: "I will give you the formula of the antidote right now, but you are not allowed to have any ideas about my treasures again!"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Of course."
Hua Tui had no choice but to take out a piece of paper from his bag and hand it to Lu Ming, saying with an unhappy face: "What is written on this paper is the solution to the 'Black Evil'. If you find the purple heart grass, crush it and squeeze out the juice, then drip it into the medicine."
After Lu Ming put the paper away, he said, "I believe you won't dare to lie to us again. If that's the case, you should leave now."
Hua Tui was as if granted amnesty when she heard this, and she used her spiritual energy to leave in a hurry without even having time to reply. Lu Ming looked at her anxiously running away, and couldn't help but shook his head, smiled and sighed.
In addition to raising insects, the biggest hobby of this demon saint is to collect treasures. No matter whether it is in the world of cultivation, the demon world or the human world, if she hears that there are rare treasures somewhere, she will grab them no matter what. Because she is too suspicious, she is worried that her treasures will be targeted by others every day, so she found a perfect place and hid all the treasures and precious herbs in the cave in Yushan.
Because she was naughty and disobedient by nature, countless people in the demon world were killed or injured because of her. But because she was the saint of the demon world and her identity was very special, the demon king could not punish her, so he had to put eighteen forbidden talismans on her treasures, ordering her not to look at or touch these treasures for fifty years as a punishment.
Lu Ming couldn't help but admire the Demon King. As the saying goes, hit the snake at its most vulnerable part. This move was so steady, accurate and ruthless!
Lu Ming and Sang Wusheng did not delay any longer. After putting out the fire, they got on the carriage and rushed west, preparing to search for the life-saving purple heart grass in the Tianze Secret Realm.
★★★
After traveling for several days, the two finally arrived at the location of the Tianze Secret Realm.
The Tianze Secret Realm is surrounded by fog all year round, and the thick fog hides it. If I hadn't looked up a lot of information about the Tianze Secret Realm before, I probably wouldn't even be able to find the entrance.
Lu Ming handed a brand new ring to Sang Wusheng and said, "Xiao Mo, this is a space ring. It's really inconvenient to carry a Qiankun bag with you. It's easy to lose it. This ring is safer, so I made one for you."
Sang Wusheng looked at the ring in Luming's hand. It was simple and quaint, emitting a faint silver luster, and was almost exactly the same as the one Luming was wearing. Sang Wusheng felt a little excited and a little excited for some reason. He suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, took the ring and put it on, smiled gently and looked at Luming, his black eyes blooming with brilliant brilliance, and said: "Thank you, brother."
Lu Ming smiled and stretched out his hand to rub his hair, and said: "Why are you still saying thank you to me? I should thank you for accompanying me here to find the purple heart grass. Xiaomo, you must not forget that no matter what dangers you encounter in the secret realm, remember that saving your life is the most important thing. The most important thing for a person is not wealth and status, but his own life. No matter what happens, you must not act recklessly."
Upon hearing this, Sang Wusheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his brows relaxed immediately, and he answered softly: "Okay."
Sang Wusheng actually wanted to tell Lu Ming that there are things in this world that are more important than life, and now he has found that thing and decided to never give it up in this life.
Here, Lu Ming took a deep breath, held the magic weapon he had just made in his hand, and shone it forward. Suddenly, a strange thing happened. The fog gradually began to disperse under the illumination of the light, as if it was blown away by a strong wind. A narrow stone path appeared in front of the two people in a short while.
"This should be the entrance to the Tianze Secret Realm." Lu Ming retracted the magic weapon and spoke.
Sang Wusheng nodded, and the two walked forward along the stone road. At first, the surroundings were still green mountains and clear waters, but gradually, the deeper they went, the darker the light in the secret realm became. The environment along the road actually experienced four seasons in just half an hour. It was still hot in the last second, and suddenly turned into snow in the next second. This cycle repeated over and over again, which surprised Lu Ming. Although this scene was a bit weird, it was unexpectedly interesting.
After about an hour, the light around him had dimmed like night. Lu Ming looked up at the sky and found that it had been covered with a black curtain without him noticing. Only a few stars were shining in the sky, and the full moon was very bright, illuminating the environment on the ground clearly.
Lu Ming walked in front and said as he walked: "Fortunately the moonlight is bright enough, Xiao Mo, you should be careful."
However, no one responded to him.
Lu Ming called out again in confusion: "Xiao Mo?"
Jing Mo still didn't answer. Lu Ming suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and turned around to look back. Jing Mo, who was supposed to be following closely behind him, suddenly seemed to have disappeared out of thin air and was not following Lu Ming at all.
Lu Ming's heart gradually began to chill, and his fingers were a little cold. There was no fork in the road all the way. Just now, Lu Ming seemed to have talked with Jing Mo... Lu Ming's consciousness was a little confused. Speaking of the conversation, why did he try so hard to recall the scene just now, but it seemed like a long time had passed? It was so long that he couldn't remember what happened after entering the secret realm.
Lu Ming forced himself to calm down, but the uneasiness in his heart was still growing slowly like an inexhaustible weed. He tried to keep his mind clear and recalled everything about this secret realm. He vaguely remembered that the most terrifying thing in Tianze Secret Realm was the illusion array. Maybe just now, or even the moment he just entered the secret realm, he had already fallen into the illusion.
Lu Ming bit his finger, and felt a slight stinging sensation. The smell of blood filled his nose, which made him stay awake. He looked around, trying to find the flaw in this illusion. Lu Ming knew that the only way to escape from here and go back to find Jing Mo was to completely destroy the illusion.
At this moment, a ray of light suddenly flashed before Lu Ming's eyes. The light became stronger and stronger, and closer and closer. Lu Ming was attracted to it involuntarily. He stared at the light and walked slowly towards it.
Then, Lu Ming felt as if he had come to a strange place. Two lanterns were hung on a solemn and majestic tall iron gate, and on both sides of the iron gate were red walls that seemed to stretch to the horizon.
Lu Ming felt as if he was being guided by something. He slowly walked towards the iron gate, stretched out his hand, and pushed the door hard. The iron gate made a loud noise and then slowly opened.
Lu Ming walked in, and immediately a huge palace appeared in front of him. The palace was built magnificently, with the ground made of white jade. There was a straight pillar next to the altar, which was carved with golden dragons, which looked lifelike. In front of the palace, there was a huge nanmu plaque on the vermilion lacquered gate, with three large characters "Yinlong Palace" attached to it, which looked very vigorous and majestic.
The entire palace was so exquisitely built, coupled with the misty purple smoke swirling up, that Lu Ming could hardly take his eyes away, and a solemn atmosphere arose in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the plague has now spread throughout the country, and tens of thousands of people have died from the disease. If we can't find a prescription to control the epidemic, I'm afraid even more people will die in this catastrophe."
An old voice suddenly came from the hall, the voice was full of sorrow and even trembling.
Lu Ming walked forward and looked into the hall. He saw a white-haired old man kneeling in the hall, his face covered with tears. Standing in the front was a young man in black brocade clothes. His hair was neatly tied behind his head with a jade crown with a gold-threaded edge. On his handsome face, his eyes were bright and clear, like a rare gem in the world, but at this moment, they were filled with a trace of sadness and grief, and he looked into the distance for a long time without saying a word.
When Lu Ming saw his appearance clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank and his breathing suddenly tightened.
This face clearly looks exactly like him. It's not He Qingci in this life, but Lu Ming's original appearance.
The young man called His Majesty sighed softly, his eyes far away: "This plague is coming fiercely, and doctors all over the country are helpless. What can I do? Has the Immortal Emperor abandoned this country?"
The old man's whole body trembled, and tears flowed more violently: "Your Majesty, no, you work hard for the Great Shang Kingdom day and night, and now you pray for blessings and sacrifice to the heaven every day, how could the gods abandon us?"
The young man smiled bitterly and said, "If I can really get back the peace of the Shang Kingdom and the health of the people, I would not mind dying. It's a pity that the heavens can't hear my prayers, let alone my sincerity. The people are now in dire straits, but I am hiding in the palace doing nothing. My dear, I..."
"Your Majesty!" the old man shouted, then he knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, please don't take all the responsibility on yourself!"
The young man was about to say something when he was interrupted by a cold snort from outside the door: "Are you really willing to die for your people?"
The young man's eyes widened, startled by the sudden voice, and then he reacted, his heart skipped a beat, thinking it was a divine revelation, and shouted eagerly: "Of course!"
The voice laughed softly, and a breeze blew into the hall. A thin young man in white clothes suddenly appeared in the hall.
The young man in white ignored the surprised and frightened look of the young man in brocade clothes, walked straight to him, raised his head and smiled slightly, and said: "I can help you. But remember, you owe me a favor, there is a long way to go, remember to pay me back."
