Chapter 274: Mengpo Pill, Three Soul-Searching Questions (Third update, for the future)

However, these can only serve as ordinary auction items; not a single one reaches the standard of a grand finale item.

"These are a Low-grade Chema Mushroom, some Xun grass, and a Superior Quality Flame Colt; they can all serve as grand finale items. Add them to the promotional brochure in a moment! Given that our auction house's security measures are not yet very good, they will be kept by me for the time being!"

In this way, the number of ordinary auction items increased significantly, rising to nearly a hundred, while the grand finale items also went from one to four.

Steward Li Tong stood with his mouth agape, his heart filled with shock, unable to think of what to say for a moment.

The number of items he had begged and pleaded to collect didn't even amount to as much as Li Zhangsheng had contributed alone, and these four grand finale items were all brought by Li Zhangsheng himself.

However, after coming to his senses, Steward Li Tong became instantly excited. Even the most famous auction house in Peng City might not be able to produce four grand finale items at once. As long as nothing went wrong, the Starry Sky Auction House would surely become an overnight success.

"There are only three days left until the auction house opens. The promotional brochure must be finalized as soon as possible. Print thirty thousand copies for the first batch; the main targets for promotion are the Instructors and students of the Academy District and the Monster Tamers in the Peng City Trading Market.

During these three days, we must do a good job with the promotion. Don't be afraid of losing money; even if we lose this commission, we must make a name for ourselves as much as possible! If there aren't many guests coming when the time comes, remember to spend some money to hire people to fill the seats!"

"Yes, Master! I will go and re-draft a promotional brochure right now!" Steward Li Tong left the basement in a hurry.

After Steward Li Tong left, only Li Zhangsheng remained in the basement.

Li Zhangsheng did not leave immediately, but instead walked over to the specialized cage where the Three-Headed Snake was imprisoned.

Compared to last time, the Three-Headed Snake's spirit was a bit listless. Li Zhangsheng could see many tooth marks and signs of impact on the cage; clearly, the Three-Headed Snake had not given up on the idea of escaping.

While Li Zhangsheng was watching the Three-Headed Snake, the Three-Headed Snake was also glaring viciously at him. It had long since dropped its Camouflage, so naturally, it would not give Li Zhangsheng a pleasant look.

Snake-type Spirit Beasts are known for being insidious and cunning, and the Three-Headed Snake was naturally no exception.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng took out a wooden box containing an Alchemical Pill called a Mengpo Pill.

The main ingredient for the Mengpo Pill is Yellow Spring Water. As long as one consumes this pill, one can completely clear away memories from the last three months. Because the amount of Yellow Spring Water is insufficient, it can only clear the memories of Spirit Beasts below the Elite level. It is rumored that even a King cannot recover these cleared memories.

Even a wise man may make a mistake!

This Mengpo Pill was something Li Zhangsheng had exchanged for one hundred Academic Credits from the Credit Exchange. The reason he took out the Mengpo Pill was mainly to clear the Three-Headed Snake's memories regarding the Baisheng King Secret Realm.

More than half a month ago, Li Zhangsheng had summoned the Three-Headed Snake twice at Luojing Mountain: once to battle Cai Yangkun, and once to break the Yuansha Tianluo Ten Extremes Wonderful True Jar.

After all, this concerned the hidden legacy of the Baisheng King, and the Three-Headed Snake would surely remember it vividly. Once it was contracted by someone else, then under the influence of telepathy, it might very well expose the news of the Baisheng King's legacy. Even if the Three-Headed Snake did not know the location of Luojing Mountain or have the key to open the Secret Realm, a buyer would only need to find Li Zhangsheng to 'solve' these problems.

Li Zhangsheng did not dare to gamble, so he could only use the Mengpo Pill to clear the Three-Headed Snake's memories of the last three months. In this way, the Three-Headed Snake's most recent memory would become the Swamp in the Green Wild Forest.

"Three-Headed Snake, will you swallow it voluntarily, or will you force me to help you feed it? Rest assured, this pill won't take your life!"

Since both sides had already torn off the mask, there was naturally no need for Li Zhangsheng to be polite.

The Three-Headed Snake opened its three pairs of eyes, and a dangerous glint flashed in its snake pupils. However, the situation was stronger than the person; after a moment of hesitation, the head on the left opened its mouth.

"Three-Headed Snake, put aside those thoughts you shouldn't have, and open the mouth of the middle head!!"

Unlike the two-headed ogre which possesses two brains, the Three-Headed Snake only has one brain, and it is located in the middle head. As for the heads on the left and right, they have no brains at all, which is the main reason why the Three-Headed Snake always protects this middle head during battle.

Hiss~

The Three-Headed Snake flicked its tongue, emitting a terrifying hiss, but in the end, it chose to compromise and opened the mouth of the middle head.

Before the Three-Headed Snake could react, under the influence of Mental Power, the Mengpo Pill turned into a streak of light, instantly surging into the Three-Headed Snake's throat and rushing straight into its stomach.

The Three-Headed Snake only felt a pain in its stomach, and then it had no other sensations.

After about five minutes, the Mengpo Pill finally began to take effect. The Three-Headed Snake's head quickly became dizzy, and it immediately collapsed onto the ground. 'It's over, this bastard is lying to me' was its final thought!

Ten minutes later, the Three-Headed Snake's tail moved slightly. Its consciousness was rapidly recovering, and soon its three heads opened their eyes, but its gaze was filled with confusion.

Who am I, where am I, what am I going to do?

Just as it regained consciousness, the Three-Headed Snake asked itself these three soul-searching questions.

Unfortunately, under the effect of the Mengpo Pill, the Three-Headed Snake had lost its memories of the last three months. Its most recent memory was still in the Swamp of the Green Wild Forest, where it was an existence that commanded all snakes to obey without question.

"How did I get locked up here? Who locked me up here without me even noticing? Could it be this person in front of me?"

Losing the memories of the last three months made the Three-Headed Snake feel very confused.

Because it didn't get an answer, the Three-Headed Snake subconsciously wanted to break free from the cage, so its three heads slammed viciously against it.

Unfortunately, under the suppression of the cage, the Three-Headed Snake felt weak all over, its strength far less than before, and it was completely unable to cause any damage to the cage.

At this moment, the Three-Headed Snake opened its large mouths, subconsciously wanting to gather energy to break the cage, but it couldn't even draw out a shred of energy.

The Three-Headed Snake refused to believe it and began to consume the stored energy in its own Demon Core. Energy reactions finally appeared in the three mouths it opened, but before it could even be happy for a moment, the Restriction of the cage activated again, and these energies were instantly dissipated completely.

After trying more than ten times, the Three-Headed Snake helplessly chose to give up. It glared viciously at Li Zhangsheng outside the cage, revealing a look that suggested it wanted to devour him.

"Mission accomplished!" Li Zhangsheng clapped his hands. He was now completely certain that the Three-Headed Snake had indeed lost its memory, and he finally felt relieved.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng left the basement, leaving behind only the Three-Headed Snake with its eyes full of confusion.

Who am I, where am I, what am I going to do!

Almost became a pig, but fortunately, I finished it in the end!

Old rules: three, pig, proof!
