Chapter 671: Now This Is Good Stuff

"Little Xue, tell your master honestly, did you fail?"

"Master, this disciple is incompetent!"

Seeing Su Ningxue lower her head in silence, Wu Su let out a long sigh; indeed, she had failed. Her gaze subconsciously drifted toward Shen Yu, though it was inevitably tinged with an indescribable meaning.

Such a look falling into Shen Yu's eyes made him feel quite uncomfortable. What was the meaning of this expression, which contained a mix of suspicion and pity?

"System, sign in!"

"Sign-in failed!"

"Failed?" The system's prompt made Shen Yu pause. That couldn't be right; he had clearly crushed it into powder, so it should have been thoroughly dead.

Could it be that the one just now was merely a clone, or perhaps it wasn't killed thoroughly enough?

Or perhaps, the one he killed wasn't the real target, and where was the real one now?

"Lord Shen saved our Wuqiu Mountain from danger. Everyone in our Wuqiu Mountain has no way to repay you, so please accept this bow from this old woman!"

At this moment, Wu Su, having finished speaking with her disciple, walked to Shen Yu's side and bowed to him, her attitude indescribably sincere.

However, before the other party could bow down, Shen Yu had already lifted her up.

Although the martial world respected strength, Shen Yu still found it somewhat difficult to adapt to having a hundred-year-old woman bow to him.

"Lord Shen, if not for you today, I fear our Wuqiu Mountain would have been destroyed in an instant. You deserve this bow!"

"Speaking of which, today's events are all this old woman's fault!" With a light sigh, Wu Su then said helplessly, "If I hadn't lent the Jishui to them, there wouldn't be today's disaster. Fortunately, I was prepared!"

"So, you knew they would come?"

"Jishui used for medicine is a rare remedy in this world. But if used for poison, it becomes a peerless toxin. I was worried they would use Jishui for other purposes, so I secretly kept an eye on them."

"After they obtained the Jishui, I kept sending people to follow them secretly. I never expected they were secretly cultivating Poison People; it is truly insane."

"After realizing I was investigating them, they lured this old monster to our mountain gate, causing heavy casualties to our Wuqiu Mountain."

Speaking of this, a thick murderous intent erupted from Wu Su, and that hateful gaze was as sharp as a blade, capable of killing without a trace.

Having offended a woman, and an old woman who didn't seem very broad-minded at that, Shen Yu had to mourn for those people.

"I have already grasped all the intelligence regarding them. A group of poison masters dares to provoke our Wuqiu Mountain? Our Wuqiu Mountain will definitely avenge this!"

"Oh?" At this, Shen Yu became interested. "So, your Wuqiu Mountain has already fully grasped their movements?"

Having just failed the sign-in, he scanned the surroundings with his Super Perception and found no abnormalities at all. Perhaps the opponent had only sent a clone or some kind of Puppet.

As for where the main body was, he probably wouldn't be able to find it for a while.

Since the old monsters couldn't be found, finding those who made the Poison People would barely suffice.

Even a mosquito is meat; he wasn't picky. The Great Contention Era had arrived, and he had to race against time; at a time like this, he wouldn't complain about having more rewards from the system sign-in.

"Yes, I have already fully grasped their movements. If not for that, they wouldn't have been driven to desperation!"

"They are a group of poison masters who use poison to create poison, tempering their bodies with deadly toxins to increase their cultivation!"

"Recently, there has been a Spiritual Qi Surge, which shows that the Great Contention Era has arrived, so they took the opportunity to refine Poison People on Wangyue Peak. They even intend to use the blood of ten million commoners to temper the Poison People and thoroughly unleash their power!"

"So you mean they are on Wangyue Peak?" Grasping the key point, Shen Yu's eyes lit up. Going to Wangyue Peak for a harvest, it couldn't be too bad, could it?

"Since that's the case, I shall take my leave first. I will go to Wangyue Peak to eliminate these scourges!"

"Lord Shen, don't be in such a hurry. Recently, their people have been going out frequently, so there aren't many people on Wangyue Peak. My people have been watching them; I will have them pass the information over now, please wait a moment, Lord Shen!"

Speaking of this, Wu Su slapped her head in annoyance: "It is my fault. Lord Shen is the great benefactor of our Wuqiu Mountain; how can you stand here? Please, take a seat."

"Lord Shen, rest assured, I will tell you all the intelligence I know!"

While speaking, Wu Su wanted to lead Shen Yu inside, her face filled with enthusiasm.

The experts of Wuqiu Mountain around them were also fawning over him one by one, their attitudes as good as they could be. The Sect Leader was quick to react; before Shen Yu left, she immediately held him back.

Shen Yu saved them, so why shouldn't they be grateful? This was called reciprocity.

What is called interaction? There is coming and going, moving about; through this back and forth, wouldn't a relationship be formed?

Plus, their Wuqiu Mountain was full of beauties, all handsome men and beautiful women; were they afraid Shen Yu wouldn't be moved? Even a steel-hearted man could be melted!

No matter what kind he liked—tall, short, fat, thin, young, old, or even men—whether he wanted a physical or emotional connection, their Wuqiu Mountain could find it.

Don't think that just because Su Ningxue failed, there was no chance. As long as the effort is deep enough, there is no wall that cannot be dug through.

Men, after all, look reserved and principled now, but in reality, they can always find reasons for their own mistakes.

Wait until three cups of wine go down, the mind gets a little muddled, and one can accidentally make a mistake; isn't that very normal? It's completely understandable.

As for whether he is truly unable to hold his liquor or just pretending to be muddled, none of that matters.

"Lord Shen, this is the Morning Dew Drink. It is gathered from the dew of flowers at sunrise, added with twenty-one kinds of rare flowers and herbs, and refined. It has the miraculous effect of increasing cultivation and improving one's constitution. Our Wuqiu Mountain refined it for a hundred years to get just half a pot!"

"Only the Sect Leaders of past generations are qualified to drink a small cup upon their succession. Furthermore, it has a unique fragrance, and drinking it leaves a lingering scent on the lips and teeth."

Bringing Shen Yu into Wuqiu Mountain, Wu Su carefully poured the treasured half-pot of Morning Dew Drink for Shen Yu, and a refreshing fragrance immediately wafted over.

Just by smelling it, Shen Yu felt comfortable all over, as if a warm current was surging through his entire body.

If he drank it, the effect would definitely be beyond imagination. Wuqiu Mountain actually had such a good thing?

Looking at the experts of Wuqiu Mountain around them drooling, one knew this thing was definitely extraordinary.

However, after a moment of hesitation, Shen Yu repeatedly declined, "Since it is so precious, then forget it. It is not easy for Wuqiu Mountain to obtain; you should treasure it carefully!"

"Lord Shen saved us from fire and water; you are the great benefactor of our Wuqiu Mountain. For such great kindness, our Wuqiu Mountain has no way to repay you, only this Morning Dew Drink can barely repay you a little!"

"If Lord Shen does not drink it, this old woman's heart will not be at ease!" Speaking of this, Wu Su knelt down to Shen Yu again, "If Lord Shen does not drink, this old woman will kneel here and not get up!"

"No, no, this won't do!" Hurriedly helping Wu Su up, Shen Yu picked up the cup and sniffed it lightly. That warm current surged into his body, instantly nourishing his whole being; it was truly a good thing.

"Since that's the case, then I will not decline!"

After saying this, Shen Yu drank it all in one gulp, and in an instant, a massive warm current surged through his entire body.

At this moment, Shen Yu felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring, his whole body feeling indescribably relaxed, and he even had a feeling of being light as a fairy.

"Lord Shen, how does it feel?"

"It feels very good; the Morning Dew Drink is truly worthy of its reputation!"

"I am glad Lord Shen is satisfied!" With a beaming smile, Wu Su set down the small pot containing the Morning Dew Drink, then took two steps back and tapped lightly with one foot.

After this simple movement, the stone slab beneath Wu Su's feet suddenly shifted to the side, revealing a deep hole, into which Wu Su jumped before the slab returned to its original position.

Then, a series of clicking sounds from a Mechanism rang out, and in an instant, the earth shook and the mountains swayed; the room before them had somehow turned into a prison cage, trapping him along with the experts of Wuqiu Mountain inside.

Shen Yu realized something was wrong and wanted to stop it, but suddenly discovered that he seemed unable to muster any strength for the moment.

Immediately following that, the extremely comfortable sensation turned into sharp pain—no, to be precise, a bloated pain.

This warm current was constantly expanding, as if it had no end, as if it were endless; his body was also expanding along with it, almost reaching its limit.

"Lord Shen, how is the taste of the Morning Dew Drink?" Just at this moment, Wu Su's voice came from outside, the tone revealing an excitement that was being forcibly suppressed.

"Morning Drink Dew, Evening Become Bone; Lord Shen, do enjoy the taste of Wuqiu Mountain's number one precious medicine, for this is a fine thing I have cultivated for nearly a hundred years, something ordinary people could not obtain even if they begged for it."
