Hearing this, Han Yan understood. He glanced at the rather obsequious Li Hao and curled his lip.
"Then...should we go to Li Hao's place?"
This guy has never even massaged his shoulders before! And now he's already trying to curry favor with Qiqi? What a sycophant!
"No, they don't understand pharmacology. I'll go after I've prepared the antidote."
The international assassin organization was very efficient and quickly obtained a lot of the medicinal materials that Qi Jiu needed from the pharmacy, which naturally cost a lot of money.
Li Hao looked at the people bustling about in the pharmacy, pursed his lips, and fell into self-doubt. "Why am I here?"
The girl didn't even look up. "I'll be your assistant."
Li Hao: "..."
The two of them worked through the night without rest, gathering all the antidotes for everyone. The girl was in charge of making them, while Li Hao was responsible for carrying them.
Looking at the liquid in his hand, Li Hao chuckled, "It's really inspired me to become a poison master. That's amazing. It seems like I can develop in that direction in the future."
"You'd better not, I'm afraid you won't even be able to cure yourself from the poison."
Suddenly a teasing voice came from the doorway. There stood Tarlin, covered in frost, leaning against the doorframe, watching him with interest.
Li Hao: "..." Does he have to be so blunt?
"Fourth Brother, you've come at the right time. Please help distribute these to each dormitory. There's more to come, so it might take several trips. Please call some more people over." The girl packed the medicine into a box.
Tarlin looked at the person who had just returned and was busy running around, and patted her head with some heartache. "You've worked hard. It's my fault for being useless and not being able to help."
It's laughable that the entire assassin organization needed their youngest apprentice to return. The previous poison was useless; they hadn't detected anything in the food.
"Aren't you helping out right now?" Qi Jiu smiled and handed over the box. "Call more people over, otherwise you won't be able to finish even if you carry it until dawn."
As time went by, the atmosphere within the assassin organization gradually improved, and the once deserted training ground became increasingly crowded.
They seemed to be alright. After resting well, Qi Jiu led Talin on their journey to the west of M Continent.
As soon as I got off the plane, a strong gust of wind hit me in the face.
Qi Jiu looked at the area surrounded by sand and dust, and silently put on her mask. Ta Lin, who was a little slower to react, was now covered in sand and dust.
Tallinn: "..."
Who would have thought that in the western part of M continent, the climate is extremely arid, completely different from the assassin organization where they have lived for many years.
This has led to the disappearance of vegetation due to the constant wind and sand, and it is believed that in the near future, this area will become a true desert.
Looking around, there are vast expanses of yellow. Along the roadside, you can see many vendors setting up stalls, each protected with various protective measures. They provide passersby with necessities.
This wasn't her first time in western M continent, but the environment here seemed much harsher compared to before.
The location here is quite remote, and fewer and fewer people pass by, so naturally, there are fewer and fewer stalls.
"Fourth Brother, over here."
The girl glanced at her surroundings, then turned and went in another direction. Tarin was taken aback, but followed her.
Soon the two arrived at a rare large tree. Talin saw Qijiu squatting on the ground picking at the weeds, and he also started picking at them.
A short while later, "Tsk."
Tallinn stared at the tiny bead of blood seeping from his fingertip, licking his back teeth with his tongue. So unlucky? He'd only just gotten off the plane and already bleeding?
When Qi Jiu looked up, she saw Talin wiping the blood off his hands. "Wait a minute!"
"Xiao Qiqi?"
The girl took a small glass bottle from her pocket, pulled his hand, opened the cap, and poured the powder into it. Not only were his wounds covered, but even his fingers were covered in the powder.
Tallinn's eyes widened at the dosage of the powder, and he stared at it for a long time...
"Qiqi, this wound doesn't need so much medicine powder. It'll be healed in a bit." This wound will probably heal soon enough; there's no need to waste so much medicine powder.
Unexpectedly, the girl shook her head. "This is Seven Star Grass. Its leaves are poisonous. If you don't treat it, you'll have a headache in no time. If you hadn't been poisoned by this before, you'd probably end up like those new students."
Tallinn paused, looking at the weeds in front of him, and frowned. "What are these?"
The girl's expression remained unchanged. "Seven-star grass, the flower it blooms is the seven-star flower."
Tallinn glanced at the weeds in front of him, then thought about the poisoned people in the organization, and pursed his lips.
Was it these little roadside trinkets that almost brought his organization to its knees? These grasses are usually ignored by everyone on the roadside, aren't they?
If those camels saw this, they would probably just eat it.
Seven Star Grass: "..." You'd better be busy.
"The Seven Star Grass was obtained so easily? The western region must be far too vast."
Talin looked down at the Seven Star Grass, which looked no different from ordinary weeds, and twitched the corner of his mouth.
Qi Jiu, standing beside her, didn't rush to reply. Instead, she turned to look around at the surrounding scenery, surveying her surroundings. Within moments, she had her answer.
"No, it only grows in this area. Other areas have long since become deserts due to wind and sand. Not to mention Seven Star Grass, even weeds can't survive there. Seven Star Grass is quite picky about where it grows."
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl got up and headed towards the roadside stall.
Tarlin watched her move and followed her.
"What do you need? We have food and water here. Walking in this environment is quite difficult. We also have some other things to help you walk. We also have..."
Perhaps because he had finally spotted a pedestrian, the stall owner became somewhat excited and started talking more and more.
Qi Jiu was initially willing to listen to him finish, but seeing that he showed no sign of stopping, she had no choice but to interrupt him.
"Sorry, I'm not buying anything right now."
The moment these words were spoken, the stall owner's expression fell instantly, as if he were helpless and resigned. The bitterness on his face was obvious, and looking at the neatly arranged goods on his stall, it seemed he hadn't sold anything in a long time.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on the girl's lips. "I have something to ask you, and I will pay you accordingly."
The next second, the stall owner was fully recovered.
Qi Jiu: "..."
Tallinn: "..."
Indeed, money is the most effective tool.
"About three days ago, did anyone appear here and go to the area under that big tree, just like we did?"
"Three days ago?" The stall owner fell into thought. "It doesn't seem like it... wait, that's not right!"
