Chapter 185

Lin Ling had already hit a wall at Cangqiong; before she could figure out how to meet Cangqiong, she went to find another lord leader for a "chance encounter", only to discover that Su Li actually wanted to compete with her for the position of Holy Shamaness.

Hearing the Great Witch praise Su Li for lettuce, this medicinal plant, Lin Ling was extremely angry.

What lettuce? A few hundred beast coins can buy one; how can it compare to the Spirit-Concentrating Grass in her hand?

The Great Witch's aged expression showed a hint of relief, and she said: "Su Li, the lettuce medicinal plant you found, ……"

Lin Ling stood among a crowd of witch attendants, her sharp voice cutting off, echoing in the wide, luxurious main hall: "Great Witch! I have a thousand-year Spirit-Concentrating Dew!"

The Great Witch stopped speaking, the main hall fell silent, and everyone turned their heads to look for the female who had spoken.

The Great Witch's cloudy eyes swept over the crowd below, looking toward Lin Ling in the crowd raising both hands, recognizing her as one of the witch attendants who had entered this year: "Child, what is your name? You just said you have…… a thousand-year Spirit-Concentrating Dew?"

Lin Ling stole Su Li's spotlight, becoming the focus of the entire hall.

In the gazes of most people, who were clueless about the Spirit-Concentrating Dew, she arrogantly lifted her head, walked from the crowd to the empty space before the hall, and stood straight beside Su Li.

She bowed slightly toward the Great Witch in salute, saying: "Report to the Great Witch, I am Lin Ling, I wish to offer a thousand-year Spirit-Concentrating Dew, only asking that you postpone the selection of the Holy Shamaness until next year's rainy season."

Su Li glared angrily at Lin Ling.

Seated on the gemstone throne of the Great Witch at the highest place, the Great Witch looked down at Lin Ling.

She had entered the weakening period more than half a year ago, and the one-year postponement proposed by the other party actually suited her wishes: it would not let her power disappear too soon, and it would give her enough time to pass on the legacy to the next Great Witch.

Moreover…… a thousand-year Spirit-Concentrating Dew!

This is one of the main medicinal plants for the Soul Cocoon Divine Pill!

Because of the growth-year requirement, this formula has practically been lost, but now it lies before us. If it is true, the Great Witch will not refuse the arrogant request put forward by this petty witch attendant before her.

Just think, if she obtained the Spirit-Concentrating Dew, wouldn't she be able to concoct the legendary Soul Cocoon Divine Pill?

At the end of her life, add an achievement worthy of being recorded in the Thin Skin Scroll.

The Great Witch was greatly moved, but showed nothing on her face and did not immediately agree; she beckoned to Lin Ling:

"Child, take out the Spirit-Concentrating Dew so I can have a look."

As the Great Witch's words fell, a female stepped out from behind the throne and came up to Lin Ling.

Lin Ling always carried this important item on her person; at this moment she took out a beast skin bag from her bosom, took out a box from it, and handed it to the female in front of her, who then carried it up the steps and presented it before the Great Witch.

The Great Witch opened the wooden box, and saw only a small half-round glass filled with soil; at first nothing was visible, but after staring for a while she saw a faint shadow of leaves trembling slightly.

No surprise, it was a Spirit-Concentrating Dew of over a thousand years.

The Great Witch's rarely excited breathing quickened, and with both hands she carefully held this legendary medicinal plant in her palms, her gaze fixed without moving.

The females below were unfamiliar with this medicinal plant called Spirit-Concentrating Dew, but everyone understood what a thousand years meant.

Not seeing the Great Witch's expression change, they also curiously craned their necks upward, straining to see what the Spirit-Concentrating Dew looked like, which actually caused the Great Witch to value it so much.

Seeing this, Su Li's heart turned cold.

Lin Ling instantly gained confidence, her eyes full of ambition, and she boldly said: "Great Witch, I think Adult Su Li is not the most powerful female; she merely got lucky in finding the medicinal plant, and I have recently been developing another method of making potions that does not require pheromone threads and can produce potions to replace various Spirit Cores."

Fang Yue Dan can do it, and she can also make it.

Lin Ling confidently thought that since killing Fang Yue Dan, her attention had been wholly focused on how to win the favor of the various lord beast husbands; until now, Su Li suddenly appeared with lettuce, which almost made her lose her position as Great Witch.

Lin Ling felt a sense of crisis.

Especially before, tempting the blind beast husband Cangqiong cleared Lin Ling's mind; she put all beast husbands aside for now, as she currently had no time to fool around with them.

Once she becomes Great Witch, there will be plenty of opportunities to come into contact with the various lords.

No surprise.

The Great Witch on the spot nodded in agreement: "You are an ambitious child; the position of Great Witch ought to be held by the most powerful witch female; I can give you this period of growth time, and the matter of the Holy Shamaness will be postponed until next year."

Su Li was stunned on the spot, her throat feeling as if someone had choked her, making it hard to breathe.

She turned her head, her eyes blazing with anger toward Lin Ling beside her; if looks could kill, the witch attendants beside her would already be dead.

Just one step away, she is only one step from becoming the Holy Shamaness.

Among the witch females, whose strengths were not vastly different, she relied on the lettuce medicinal plant to stand out from the crowd, and yet this damned Lin Ling actually popped up.

She is the stone blocking her path to the supreme pinnacle of power.

Just as ill luck never comes alone, Su Li had only left the main hall a few days when she heard that the wooden females wanted to terminate the lettuce matter.

Upon hearing it, Su Li felt as if the heavens had collapsed.

Lettuce is her strongest chip in hand; if she lost the lettuce, she and the other five females would become the same, with no competitive advantage at all.

The matter of the Holy Shamaness was put on hold; Su Li did not want to send anyone back, she herself stayed anxiously at the Mountain Classic Beast Temple, and so she hurried back to Kuangsha City, determined to resolve the lettuce issue.

Half an hour later.

After listening to Su Li's description of the situation at the Mountain Classic Beast Temple, Lin Manzhi: ……

Lin Ling?

Really, quite an unexpected name.

"I was originally supposed to become the Holy Shamaness, but she produced a thousand-year Spirit-Concentrating Grass." Su Li said resentfully: "So the Great Witch changed her mind."

Lin Manzhi glanced at the angry and grieving Su Li.

Although the original plot has already drifted to the Pacific, the male lead Cangqiong from the original book has appeared, so the female lead must have appeared early as well, right?

She herself had not deliberately inquired, but upon hearing Lin Ling, she couldn't help but think of the original book's female lead; if the plot proceeded as written, the original book's female lead would already have entered the Witch God's Temple.

Although she hasn't heard the liquid similar to decocting Chinese medicine that would replace the potion come out, it's possible the original book's female lead didn't go through the Kuangsha City plot, which is why she hasn't heard of it, right?

She really felt a bit curious and asked in a low voice: "Then, in the Mountain Classic Beast Temple, have you heard of a witch female or attendant named Fang Yue Dan……"

Su Li frowned in thought, remained silent for a moment, then her eyes blank: "I haven't heard of the Fang Yue Dan you mentioned……"

Then her eyes lit up, and she said: "Do you want to find her? Our contract for producing potions continues; I can send people to the Mountain Classic Beast Temple to help you look, guaranteeing I can find her and bring her before you."
