C106

Chen Feng, the grandson of the Second Island Master, with a cultivation level equal to Meng Rou Er, had pestered Meng Rou Er and had even threatened to not marry him.

When they found out that Meng Rou Er wanted to see him, they were overjoyed and rushed to Meng Rou Er's residence without hesitation.

And at this moment, Meng Rou Er was listening to a subordinate's report on the specific matter of First Island Owner healing his injuries.

"He actually needs so many precious medicinal ingredients, not to mention he has to treat grandpa's injuries tomorrow."

When she found out that Jiu Mu Li actually asked the First Island Owner to prepare medicinal herbs and was going to treat his injuries tomorrow, she couldn't help but frown.

"No, even if I believe that you can cure my grandfather, I absolutely can't let you be satisfied."

After a long while, Meng Rou Er finally thought of a good plan. A sinister smile surfaced at the corner of his mouth as he muttered: "If you can't cure her, it will naturally be hard for you to escape death, but even if you have the ability, in the end, I will still not hand over your achievements to you. You want to enter the inheritance grounds and please my grandfather, I will not let you succeed."

At this time, Chen Feng also arrived.

"Chen Feng, it's good that you're here. I have something that I need your help with."

The morning sun was like fire as it sprinkled a golden light on the ground.

When Jiu Mu Li was still immersed in cultivation, the First Island Owner had already sent someone to inform her that the ingredients were ready and could start to heal her injuries.

Hearing that, Jiu Mu Li did not hesitate any longer, but when she and Qin Zheng arrived, they led her into a private room.

The secret room was located at the bottom of the cave. When Jiu Mu Li arrived, First Island Owner and Meng Rou Er were already waiting.

"Thank you, little friend." When First Island Owner saw Jiu Mu Li, he politely smiled.

"It's just an equal exchange. This one also has a request. There's no need to be courteous, Island Lord." Jiu Mu Li laughed as he spoke, and then asked: "Have you prepared all the medicinal ingredients?"

"Mn, they are all here."

First Island Owner waved his hand, and instantly dozens of medicinal herbs appeared in front of Jiu Mu Li.

"Wait."

Just at this time, Meng Rou Er said with a gloomy face: "Jiu Mu Li, let me ask you, if you don't treat my grandfather's injuries, what will happen?"

"I told you. Believe it or not, if your grandfather doesn't believe it, I won't disturb you." Jiu Mu Li sneered, how could she be provoked? Furthermore, this place was not under Meng Rou Er's control.

When Meng Rou Er heard it, his fury started to rise, and he immediately sneered: "My grandfather trusts you, but I don't believe it. How about this, you and I make a bet, what do you think?"

"Hmm? "How do we bet? What about the stakes?" Jiu Mu Li raised his brows.

Meng Rou Er smirked and said: "The wager is very simple. If you can't cure my grandfather, I want you to cripple your cultivation to show your punishment."

"Rou Er, stop messing around!" First Island Owner's face was ashen, while he was unwilling to offend Jiu Mu Li, he also felt that what Meng Rou Er said was reasonable.

Thus, although he reprimanded her harshly, he was not truly angry.

"What? Do you dare to bet with me?" Meng Rou Er snorted coldly, not flinching at all.

Jiu Mu Li sneered, his eyes flashed, and said: "If I am able to treat it, what should I do?"

"Since it's me who is making a bet with you, even if you win, I will not let you suffer any more, and will also cripple your own cultivation."

"Alright!"

Jiu Mu Li nodded without hesitation.

"Shut up!" The First Island Owner gave a timely and angry shout, interrupting Meng Rou Er's following words.

Meng Rou Er didn't dare say anything more. Hmph, so what if Grandfather believes in you, I guarantee that you won't be satisfied this time, at that time, I'll just see how you die. After you exhaust your cultivation and fall into my hands, I'll definitely make you beg for death.

However, Jiu Mu Li was too lazy to continue talking, and said indifferently: "Island Master, let's begin."

After saying that, she placed all of the medicinal herbs into her hands. Upon closer examination, there was nothing wrong with the medicinal herbs. Even though there were twenty-five different medicinal herbs, she harrumphed coldly in her heart and killing intent appeared faintly in her heart.

This was because she realized that something was wrong with the medicinal herbs. Even though they were the medicinal herbs she wanted, each of them was highly toxic. Once the medicinal herbs were absorbed into her body, the poison would also enter her body.

"Who is it!?"

Jiu Mu Li's heart sank, for such a big matter, the First Island Owner would naturally not delay it, the ingredients were definitely needed to prepare the people he trusted the most, if he betrayed them, it would not be as impressive as now, and when he thought about Meng Rou Er's performance just now, Jiu Mu Li immediately had a guess.

"Forget about her, let's just try it out first. It's just a trivial poison, it's fine if you don't know about it, but now that I'm aware of it, if you still can't cure it, then you are underestimating me, Jiu Mu Li."

She sneered in her heart and immediately acted as if she didn't see anything. She slowly spread out the medicinal ingredients before the Spiritual Energy in her hands violently trembled.

Immediately after, the different medicinal ingredients were shattered, the medicinal liquid was bound by Jiu Mu Li and gradually melted into a ball.

"I control it precisely."

The First Island Owner praised in his heart. Jiu Mu Li's technique was not good, but his control over the spirit force was extremely accurate.

"Island Lord, take this."

Jiu Mu Li shouted, and with a flick of his finger, the liquid medicine turned into a ray of light and flew straight to the First Island Owner, then, was sucked into his stomach.

Soon after, the spirit energy on First Island Owner's body surged like floodwaters, with even the power of the stars mixed within.

Jiu Mu Li pressed a hand to First Island Owner's back and said: "Don't resist, just focus on healing."

As the spirit energy in First Island Owner's body continuously poured into his damaged profound veins, the medicinal liquid suddenly opened, and just at this moment, from within the damaged profound veins, a wave of cold yin energy instantly erupted, forming a vortex, continuously expelling the medicinal liquid.

The cold yin energy was extremely strange, like maggots in the bones of the legs, even with the First Island Owner's cultivation, he was not able to resist.

"This is something similar to a bloodline curse."

Jiu Mu Li understood and without hesitation, the silver needle flew out from her sleeve and appeared at her fingertip. Without hesitation, she stabbed it into First Island Owner's body.

One, two...

Four silver needles formed a curved arc in the air. Then, her expression turned solemn as she fiercely pierced the needle again.

Immediately, the evil Yin Qi inside First Island Owner seemed to have been tightly bound, and actually couldn't move at all. Not only that, it had condensed into one.

"Come out!"

Seeing that, Jiu Mu Li suddenly pulled out a silver needle from the middle, his entire body suddenly slanted.

Just as she turned her body, suddenly a gust of wind flew out from First Island Owner's body, like a hidden force that flew towards Jiu Mu Li's body.

"Pfft."

In the blink of an eye, the wall of the secret chamber was pierced by the gale and left with a hole.

"What a strong Yin energy."

Seeing this, Jiu Mu Li sucked in a breath of cold air, but at the same time, his heart relaxed.

That gust of wind was the Evil Yin Qi that was lingering in First Island Owner's body, the main culprit behind his recovery from his injuries.

As the Evil Yin energy was expelled, the damaged profound veins in First Island Owner's body continued to absorb the medicinal liquid, and at an extremely fast speed, they continuously healed.

"No problem."

Jiu Mu Li's heart was set. Now, she had finally achieved her goal.

The First Island Owner's profound veins had been restored, and his face was flushed red. However, before he could even get happy, his body suddenly trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Grandfather!"

When Meng Rou Er saw this, he cried out in alarm and glared at Jiu Mu Li: "What's going on, Jiu Mu Li, what did you do!?"

"Poison!"

First Island Owner staggered and opened his mouth, while speaking, his face turned pitch black, one glance was enough to tell that he was deeply poisoned.

"Ah, Grandpa!"

Meng Rou Er cried out in grief and indignation, glared at Jiu Mu Li and said: "Bitch, you actually dared to poison my grandfather. Good, good plan."

"Ridiculous, I want to kill your grandfather, I've long since killed him, there's no need to wait for now." Jiu Mu Li sneered.

"If it's not you, who else would it be?"

Meng Rou Er said, and roared without hesitation: "Men, arrest this bitch."

"Hahahaha, Jiu Mu Li, no matter how crafty you are, you still fell into my trap. This time, I want to see how you explain yourself."

Meng Rou Er was extremely proud of herself. Earlier that day, when she knew that her grandfather was going to let Jiu Mu Li treat his injuries, she had thought of a brilliant idea. Even if the poison was added into the medicine, the antidote would still be in her hands.

Once Jiu Mu Li cured her grandfather's injuries, but was suddenly poisoned, he had a reason to deal with Jiu Mu Li. After that, she would be able to take out the antidote and naturally become the one who contributed the most, as for Jiu Mu Li, other than death, she would not have a second ending.

Now that she saw the development of the situation as she had expected, she felt extremely proud of herself.

However, she hadn't been happy for long when she suddenly heard a hearty voice.

"Big brother, I heard you were severely injured, I came to greet you."

Following the end of his words, the door to the secret room shattered with a loud bang, and a few human figures charged into the secret room with the force of a thunderbolt.

"First Island Owner, I haven't seen you for a long time. I wonder if your injuries are serious."

Before Jiu Mu Li could see the person clearly, another sharp voice suddenly sounded out, following that, there were another few people in the secret room.

"It's all of you!"

First Island Owner was shocked and angry at the same time.

Jiu Mu Li was also stunned, the two people who came were two old men in embroidered robes. These two looked to be younger than First Island Owner, but their Profound Spirit Qi was extremely dense.

"Second Island Master, third Island Master, you … you actually dared to come to my cave. It seems that you have forgotten the lesson a few years ago!"

First Island Owner's face was gloomy, he opened his mouth coldly, but unfortunately, his aura was sluggish, even though his tone was overbearing, it gave people the feeling that he was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Upon seeing this, Jiu Mu Li immediately understood that this was not a good thing. Without hesitation, he inadvertently used one hand to pull out the dagger from First Island Owner's body.

Since she dared to use poisonous medicinal herbs, how could she not have made preparations? She was just playing the game just now.

"You, why are you guys here!"

Meng Rou Er was instantly dumbstruck and her voice trembled a little. At this moment, no matter how foolish she was, she immediately understood what was going on.

"Chen Feng, you dared to lie to me. You deserve to die, I will kill you!"

She was extremely angry. Even if Chen Feng gave her the poison yesterday and also gave her the antidote, looking at the two Island Masters today, how could she not understand that Chen Feng had betrayed her.

Not only that, the antidote was probably fake as well. Even if it wasn't, she didn't dare to let her grandfather consume it.
