Chapter 357: The Wind Rises

Looking at the small porcelain bottle on the table and the pill poured out of it, Xiao Mian looked suspicious, showing a rare puzzled look.

As the name suggests, the Ice-Broken Powder should be a powder.

But looking at the pill on the table, it doesn't look like a powder at all!

This thing is definitely not the Ice-Broken Powder that Shen Aomei said. Not only that, Shen Aomei's words and deeds have too many inconsistencies, which makes Xiao Mian suspicious.

First, the location where Xiao Mian was found was changed from Qingpingju in the west to Furong Pavilion in the east. Don't underestimate this simple change, it can be said to be a world of difference. No matter how much Xiao Mian makes trouble in Furong Pavilion, it is not too much, but if he is in Qingpingju, even if Xiao Mian did not do anything bad, it is suspicious and may even alert the enemy.

Secondly, the last icy sword energy that Shen Aomei used to injure Xiao Mian was just a show, as if it was only for shocking Xiao Mian. Although Xiao Mian was shocked and vomited blood, he did not suffer any substantial damage. Shen Aomei sent medicine and warned him, making it seem as if Xiao Mian was seriously injured and could not recover without seclusion. Moreover, Shen Aomei knew that Xiao Mian had the Ice Soul Poison in his body, so how could he be injured by the icy sword energy? Even if he was really injured, what was the use of the so-called Ice Shattering Powder?

Thirdly, Bai Qiye is not such an unreliable person. The reason why he pulled the ladder up was because he had expected that Shen Aomei would not hurt Xiao Mian?

In this way, everything that happened in Aomeizhai was deliberately done by Shen Aomei, and the purpose was nothing more than to help herself avoid Bai Jintang's temptation.

That's right!

The timing of Bai Jintang's appearance was too coincidental, as if he had been watching the show from the sidelines for a long time, and couldn't help but jump out to save Xiao Mian at the critical moment.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Mian picked up the pill. If he wanted to find out what Shen Aomei was selling, he might have to start with the pill.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Guitou spoke.

"Don't look at it! This is not ice-breaking powder at all!"

"Does Ghost Master recognize this?"

"This is a very strange and unique elixir - Mirage Pill!"

"Mirage Pill? What is its function?"

"Mirage is a variant of the dragon genus. After becoming a demon for a hundred years, it can spit out mirage gas to confuse beasts; after becoming a demon for a thousand years, it can create mirage towers, mirage pavilions, and mirage markets, forming mirages. Ordinary Jindan cultivators will lose their way and lose themselves when entering it, and automatically enter the mouth of the mirage monster and become the food of the mirage monster. The demon pill of the thousand-year-old mirage monster is called 'Phantom Spirit Pearl'. This Mirage Pill is made from the eye capsule of the thousand-year-old demon mirage. It is a kind of subsidiary product made of pills. Although it looks like a pill, it is actually a disposable magic weapon! As for the efficacy, do you remember what your cunning master used to deceive Duan Yuntao? "

"Master deceived Duan Yuntao? Water Mirror Talisman? Could it be that this Mirage Pill..."

"Not bad!"

"Good stuff! In this case, our cheap uncle has some ulterior motives. He also said that he wanted to retreat and break through. Isn't this hinting at me? Haha!"

After confirming Shen Aomei's intentions, Xiao Mian felt much more relaxed. Thinking of the agreement with Li Qingping, Xiao Mian simply took the name of healing and practiced well.

In a blink of an eye, three days passed quietly.

During these three days, Xiao Mian was meditating, but the whole Bai family was quite anxious-there was only one reason, Li Qingping, who was about to marry into the Bai family, was poisoned!

After being poisoned, Li Qingping had no abnormalities on her body, but she was still unconscious.

Mr. Bai Da, Mr. Bai Er and even Bai Haoping have all checked Li Qingping's pulse, but none of them could find out the cause of the disease. This worried the head of the Bai family and the people in charge. Seeing that the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month was about to arrive, the bride was unconscious.

Not being able to get married is a small matter. If the peasants of the Nongjialiu knew that Li Qingping was poisoned in the Bai family, the Bai family would have no way to defend themselves. The reason why the Bai family wanted to annex the Nongjialiu was to use Li Qingping's name to win without bloodshed. However, Lingcaotang under the name of Li Qingping was inherited from Li Mudao. The Nongjialiu was quite dissatisfied. If this incident aroused a strong backlash from the Nongjialiu, it would be a complication.

However, after the consultation of the Bai family, Li Qingping still showed no improvement. They couldn't even diagnose what poison Li Qingping was poisoned with.

You know, the Bai family is good at alchemy and is a medical family. Mr. Bai Da, Mr. Bai Er and others are famous alchemists and spiritual doctors in Wanzong City. Now even they can't diagnose Li Qingping's symptoms, so it's impossible for outsiders to know.

More importantly, this matter can't be spread!

As a result, the Bai family was anxious, but they were helpless.

"How about asking father to come out of retreat?"

"Nonsense! Father is in retreat to break through the confinement of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. This is related to the thousand-year plan of our Bai family. How can we lose the big picture for the sake of small things? Even if we return all the Lingcao Halls to the Nong family, we can't disturb his retreat this time!" After severely scolding his brother, Mr. Bai Da's slightly gray eyebrows trembled, and whispered to himself: "At this point, if it really doesn't work, the only way is to wake up the third sister..."

"Third sister? That's right! The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is approaching, and she should be woken up. Besides, if she knew that Qingping girl was poisoned and she had to save her, she wouldn't make trouble again, right? Third sister is the most talented poison maker in our Bai family!"

If Mr. Bai Er's words were spread, it would probably cause another uproar: the unknown Bai Caiwei was actually the number one poison maker in the Bai family!

It should be noted that medicine and poison are from the same family. Refining medicine and making poison are two schools of Dan Ding Xue. However, most alchemists refine elixirs, and only a few monks choose to refine poisons. These special alchemists are called poison makers!

Bai Caiwei is the most talented and accomplished poison maker in the previous generation of the Bai family.

Any excellent poison maker must also be an extremely excellent detoxifier!

After the two brothers discussed some details, they went to the "Caiwei Pavilion" where Bai Caiwei was, intending to wake up the sleeping Bai Caiwei.

Caiwei Pavilion is a quiet place behind the Jishitang, the main hall of the Bai family.

After walking for a while, the two brothers of the Bai family arrived at Caiwei Pavilion.

The forbidden area that was red and purple in Xiao Mian's eyes naturally did not stump the two leaders of the Bai family. They were unimpeded all the way, and none of the sentries along the way were triggered. After entering the Caiwei Pavilion, the two brothers went straight to the Yangxin Residence where Bai Caiwei usually rested.

Taking a deep breath, Mr. Bai pushed open the door of Yangxinju, and the two brothers entered together. In Yangxinju, apart from Bai Caiwei lying on the bed, there was only an old woman meditating with her eyes closed. The old woman didn't seem to notice someone entering, but the two brothers of the Bai family bowed respectfully to the old woman first. Seeing that the old woman had no intention of waking up or talking, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and came to the bed.

A white jade soft bed about ten feet long, with white gauze curtains, and a person lying inside, that is Bai Caiwei.

At this time, Bai Caiwei was lying flat on the white jade soft bed, with her hands on her chest and abdomen, her expression was peaceful, her face was beautiful, just like a beautiful young woman sleeping soundly. Only a thumb-sized black lotus between her eyebrows swayed in various shapes, looking both charming and weird.

The two brothers looked at each other, and Mr. Bai took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms. A purple-glowing soul-sealing talisman was pasted on the inconspicuous little porcelain bottle, which indicated that the grade of this soul-sealing talisman was definitely above the seventh grade, and it also indicated that the things contained in this little porcelain bottle were definitely extremely precious natural treasures.

But at this moment, the old woman who was meditating with her eyes closed spoke.

"There is still some time before the wedding date on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, right?"

"Grandma Hua, there are priorities, and now there is something that needs my third sister..."

Mr. Bai had just said this when the old woman interrupted him without any courtesy.

"Miss San has no other skills except making and detoxifying poisons, which is why she is now at the mercy of others despite having the Jindan cultivation. You want to wake her up in advance. Could it be that someone in the Bai family is poisoned? The poison that can stump you is probably not an ordinary poison, right? No! Miss San is so desperate that even if she is awakened, how can ordinary people bother her to treat her?" As she said this, the old woman suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes blazing with light, staring at the two brothers of the Bai family and asking sternly: "Is Qingping in trouble!?"

The violent pressure at that moment was so strong that even Mr. Bai Da and Mr. Bai Er, who were already at the top level of Jindan, couldn't help but take a step back, their faces slightly changed.

The old woman who lived in seclusion in Caiwei Xuan and took care of the unconscious Bai Caiwei, and was called Granny Hua by Mr. Bai Da, was actually a quasi-Yuanying cultivator!
