Chapter 790 The Return of the Gods 74
Xiao Tengzi and the system looked sick, and both felt that Quan Jiu was comforting himself.
That night, Quan Jiu went to the town again. There was a mercenary workshop in the town where she could take on some simple tasks. She traded the herbs she picked in the forest and had more than a dozen spirit stones in her pocket.
"Miss, please stay."
The lobby manager of the mercenary guild stepped forward.
He had been keeping an eye on this mysterious man who always appeared at night with his face covered by a black robe for a long time.
Quan Jiu turned back cautiously and lowered his voice: "What's the matter?"
Although she knew that Wan Yingzhi's arm couldn't reach that far, she still instinctively remained on guard.
"Well, our guild has noticed that the herbs you collect are richer in spiritual energy than similar herbs, and their roots, stems, and leaves are thicker and more robust. So, we'd like to establish a long-term deal with you. We'll add 10% to the market price for anything you send us. Are you interested?"
They are all herbs, but the medicinal effects of large and small plants are very different. The herbs this lady sends over every time are all top-quality, completely surpassing the same type of herbs sent by others.
Quan Jiu understood.
The feeling is that she rolled up the entire market.
Raising the price by ten percent shows the guild's sincerity, but it's a pity that she won't stay here for long.
"Not interested."
She said and turned around.
"Hey, wait..."
The lobby manager thought everything was safe, but he didn't expect her to refuse so ruthlessly, so he hurriedly chased after her.
"If you have any other requests, our guild will do its best to satisfy you. Are you sure you won't consider it again?"
They suspected that this was an alchemist.
Quan Jiu paused and asked, "Do you have Blood Ganoderma Lucidum and Heavenly Mirror Holy Fruit?"
“There are two Blood Ganoderma Lucidum plants in the warehouse, but the Heavenly Mirror Holy Fruit can only be found in extremely yin places.”
The person in charge looked hesitant, as both of these items were rare treasures from heaven and earth.
Quan Jiu: "I want the Blood Ganoderma and the Heavenly Mirror Holy Fruit."
Person in charge: "I need to go back and ask for instructions."
A day later, news came from the other side.
"Miss Shen, we can give you the Blood Ganoderma, but we can only provide you with information about the Heavenly Mirror Holy Fruit. After all, this medicinal herb is rare, and it only takes a hundred years to grow one. It's not certain whether you can find it."
Quan Jiu: "Okay."
She didn't expect the other party to agree, and the current situation was pretty much what she expected.
"If there is any news about the Heavenly Mirror Holy Fruit, we will notify you immediately."
………
After Quanjiu joined the guild, he had to work for two hours every day. Xiao Tengzi was so worried that the green seedlings curled up into an "O" shape.
"Jiujiu, the demonic energy in the demon world is too strong. It is not suitable for cultivators to stay for a long time. You are injured and you can't use spiritual energy to suppress the demonic energy."
If this continued, it was afraid that her cultivation foundation would be damaged. Thinking of this, it hated Tang Lu even more. If he hadn't poisoned Jiujiu, Jiujiu would have recovered from this injury long ago.
Quan Jiu took a tranquilizing pill to resist the surrounding evil spirits:
"We've already got the Blood Ganoderma. Once we get news about the Heavenly Mirror Holy Fruit, we'll leave immediately."
………
"Your Majesty, as you instructed, all three places in the Six Realms where the Heavenly Mirror Holy Fruit was born have been ambushed by our men."
Tang Lu sat in the study and had not attended court for half a month. He could not find the whereabouts of Quanjiu or Fengzui, so he had no choice but to wait and see.
If she wants to recover her spiritual power and remove the poison, she must have the Heavenly Mirror Holy Fruit.
Tang Lu has been feeling uneasy and having palpitations for the past half month. Once, he even dreamed that Quan Jiu came back, but she looked dull and ignored him no matter how he spoke to her.
"Are you sure there's nothing missing?"
"I'm sure."
In order to find out the location of the Heavenly Mirror Holy Fruit, almost the entire demon world came out in full force.
Tang Lu rubbed his tired brows and said, "Retreat."
It's been half a month, why hasn't she shown up yet? Does she hate him so much?
………
"Tang Lu is certain she wants the Heavenly Mirror Holy Fruit and Blood Ganoderma. It's rare for these two herbs to be used together in medicine, and they're both used as antidotes."
001 was wearing a bamboo hat and came back from a medical clinic somewhere in the Demon Realm King City, holding a medical book in his hand.
Affected by the rules of heaven and earth, his connection with the system was severed, and Quan Jiu's whereabouts became a mystery.
He looked through medical books today, consulted doctors, and finally decided on two prescriptions.
"One is the Nine Mystery Pill, and the other is Flower and Bird Powder. The Nine Mystery Pill dissipates all of a person's spiritual power, while the Flower and Bird Powder acts on spiritual beasts. In comparison, it's more likely that Luan'er was hit by the Nine Mystery Pill."
He raised his eyes and glanced at the man in black sitting at the table. Ever since that day in the royal city, this man had always had a gloomy face and never said a word except to look for someone.
On the day of the wedding, their people had already ambushed in the palace in advance, waiting for Quan Jiu to show up and kidnap the bride. However, they didn't expect an accident. Instead of waiting for the bride, they became wanted criminals and Quan Jiu disappeared.
Upon hearing about the effects of the Jiumi Pills, Feng Zui's eyes froze into ice, filled with murderous intent. He couldn't imagine how she, without any spiritual power, could survive in the palace of the demon world, or how she could break out of the siege.
"What a waste."
He didn't mention anyone by name, but 001 knew he was talking about Tang Law.
Having been inexplicably blamed, they naturally had to investigate thoroughly. Feng Zui had demonic energy in his body and was very familiar with it. When he arrived at Quan Jiu's bedroom, he checked for the remaining demonic energy and found that it was only the breath of a few earth demons.
The Earth Demon's cultivation level was not high. Logically, it was impossible for him to break through the strict guards of the Demon Realm Palace and come to the bedroom to snatch people directly, so Feng Zui quickly suspected other people in the Demon Realm.
001: "I heard from the palace servants that Luan'er had a conflict with the Right Protector Wan Yingzhi. Our people have been keeping a close eye on her these days and haven't found anything unusual so far."
Wan Yingzhi is highly suspicious.
Feng Zui felt a slight pain in his head. The blood on the ground did have her scent. She hadn't appeared yet, so she must have been seriously injured.
Without spiritual power, seriously injured, and having to avoid deserters, he couldn't imagine her current situation at all, and he wouldn't be able to sleep all night just thinking about it.
001 has been busy looking for people these days, and he looks exhausted both physically and mentally, but he is calmer than Fengzui.
Once something happens to Quan Jiu, even if this plane does not collapse, abnormalities will occur. At present, the plane is intact, which proves that her life is not in danger for the time being.
"Although Tang Lu's method is stupid, it seems to be the only solution at the moment."
They can only sit back and wait.
………
“Miss Shen, there is news about the Heavenly Realm Holy Fruit.”
Three days later, the lobby manager passed the news to Quanjiu.
"You're lucky. The nearest one is at the border between the demon world and the human world, only a hundred kilometers away from our town."
This border town happens to be not far from the border between the human and demon worlds.
Quan Jiu: "Thank you, Uncle Zhang. I'd like to take a leave in two days."
