Chapter 64: What Is This?
Lin Ling has already sent people to look for Fang Yue Dan; when the time comes she'll meet the same fate as Mo Lie—die. Anyone she disliked in her previous life should also die.
Lin Ling walked cheerfully into the Wushen Temple, but the bustling atmosphere made her pause, and she looked up puzzled toward the group of Shamanesses in the garden.
At that moment the Wu Hall doors had already closed early; in the garden, Lin Ling saw the Shamanesses from Kuangsha City gathered together, excited about something she couldn't see.
A few other Females who had come with her also stood outside; someone in the crowd saw Lin Ling, and the Female she was playing with rushed to her side, saying, "Lin Ling, where did you run off to? Do you know what big event happened here today!"
Li Jing is one of the only four Females from Ansen City who passed the assessment, usually gets along well with her, and immediately told her about the major incident that occurred at noon in the Shamaness Hall of the resting station.
The male beast's Spirit Core rebellion basically has no remedy; Lin Ling rolled her eyes inwardly, surely Su Liu used their own Pheromone to treat it.
She felt disdainful, but outwardly Lin Ling showed shock to Li Jing, "Wow! What a miraculous remedy, Witch Matriarch Su is truly amazing."
Li Jing pulled her toward the crowd in the garden, exclaiming, "Lady Su is about to show everyone the main ingredient for the medicine; if you squeeze in with me, you'll see it."
Lin Ling, indifferent, followed into the throng.
What main ingredient for making the suppressant could be more precious than her own Concentrated Spirit Dew?
The Concentrated Spirit Dew in her hand is one of six legendary‑grade ingredients that cure Spirit Core damage with the Soul Cocoon Divine Pill; only she possesses it on the continent.
At this moment, stepping into the crowd she heard the Shamanesses' commotion.
Lin Ling concealed her smug expression and looked toward the center of the crowd.
In the middle, on a wooden table, the official Su stood beside a basket of beautiful emerald plants, while the Females nearby chatted excitedly.
Xiang Zhuang drank the jar of Spirit Core suppressant that Lady Su presented, and his Spirit Core instantly stabilized, allowing him to regain Human Form!
The male beast's body‑repair ability is indeed strong, but what's stronger is the elixir personally crafted by our Lady Su!
Fortunately, Lady Su's Pheromone has strong identification ability; she didn't expect that the spotted Female, dressed so ragged, brought this Lettuce herb, which turned out to be so powerful!
The medicine Su crafted saved almost all male beasts whose Spirit Core rebellion had no cure, astonishing Xiang Sa and the others, and caused a sensation among the Shamanesses in the main hall.
Lady Su, delighted by the praise, floated up, picked up a Lettuce from the table, and bragged, "Making a Spirit Core suppressant medicine is nothing; you all can do it, but did you know? I also discovered that eating Lettuce raw works!"
What!
Lady Su was very proud.
She had tested the Lettuce by breaking it open and letting the spotted Female eat it raw to assess its quality, which led her to think raw consumption also has medicinal effect.
These things, they didn't need to know.
Lady Su: "Ten Lettuce plants brew one dose of Spirit Core suppressant medicine; if eaten raw, you need about a hundred to achieve the same effect."
Lin Ling was startled.
She recalled the nightmare from her previous life: Fang Yue Dan then was unlike all the Shamanesses; she didn't refine herbs into medicine, but mixed all ingredients together and boiled them in a pot.
Then she poured out the broth, and miraculously, this method also worked!
Now this herb that works when eaten raw—she had never heard of it in her past life?
A slight unease rose in her heart, a malicious glint flashing in Lin Ling's eyes.
Tomorrow morning she'll set out for the Mountain Classic Beast Temple; then her status will soar, more male beasts will kneel at her feet, and at that moment she decides to dispatch more people to find Fang Yue Dan—once Fang Yue Dan is found—
She will kill her on the spot.
"Lord, you could… never mind, sell me ten Lettuce, okay? I'm willing to pay double, not five times, to buy!" a Shamaness looking at the Lettuce was tempted to try making a new Spirit Core suppressant.
Other Shamanesses chimed in, "Lady Su, we've been following you for a long time; if you have good stuff, don't keep it to yourself, you still have several baskets!"
Lady Su swept over the crowd reaching for Lettuce, her boastful smile frozen.
She shouldn't have brought the Lettuce out for everyone to see earlier.
She twitched the corner of her mouth, but seeing her subordinates all obedient, refusing would hurt their feelings.
Now she only resents that the Wooden Female hadn't finalized the next delivery when leaving, and she doesn't know when the Lettuce will arrive.
Lady Su, displeased, raised the Lettuce price tenfold: "Fine, fine, ten for fifty thousand Beast Coins; I only have this basket, if you want it quickly."
The Shamanesses, never short of money, scrambled publicly to buy at the high price.
"I want it, I want it, I'll pay fifty thousand Beast Coins for ten!" Li Jing couldn't help shouting loudly with the crowd.
Lin Ling snapped back, glanced at the flushed Li Jing, internally mocking.
Crazy, huh? Spending so much on a lousy Lettuce?
After flattering the crowd a few times, Lin Ling, clutching the precious herb in her arms, left the garden without spending a fortune on Lettuce.
Lin Ling looked down on their frenzy over a single herb, a disdainful expression on her face.
Tomorrow she'll depart; after going to the Witch Maiden Hall, she can accompany the Great Witch to Leitingcheng to meet that peerless handsome lord…
Lin Ling clenched the box of Concentrated Spirit Dew in her arms, ambition flashing in her eyes, barely concealed; the previous life sneered at her, this life she'll see how Cangqiong pursues her.
Lin Manzhi intentionally let Mo Lie rest; tonight she still handled the cooking, and dinner became Turkish rotisserie kebab.
The three leftover meat shank slices from noon were thinly sliced, marinated, then stacked tightly around a clean wooden rod, placed on the Mud Stove to rotate while grilling; the sizzling, oily meat was shaved off with a knife, mixed with torn Lettuce, no flatbread, yet it tasted fragrant.
Hua Zheng ate, covering his round belly, and comfortably let out a satisfied belch.
Mo Lie extinguished the Mud Stove fire, then walked with Lin Manzhi toward the living room.
He turned his head toward Lin Manzhi, his expression calm, and said, "Tonight I'll go out with Hua Zheng to take down the Iron Claw Gang; Zhi Zhi, you shouldn't go out tonight, nor casually open the door for anyone; I'll be back before dawn."
Hm? Hm!
Lin Manzhi was stunned for a few seconds by his casual tone, as if chatting about tomorrow's breakfast, then realized what Mo Lie was talking about.
Lin Manzhi fell silent for a moment, then gently nodded.
