Ch.36 Part 2 – Accusations (II)
Even facing such accusations, there was nothing ng Qi couldn’t say. She indeed knew the na of the immortal devouring vine from Su Fox. But when she t this chattery fox in her previous life, he had been injured by the vine for ten days, and couldn’t even maintain his human form. What ng Qi saw was a fluffy five-tailed white fox. Su Junmo had fallen into a coma at the ti, and could only lay on the ground motionless. Dark red blood and mud dirtied his long white fur, making him looked weak and pitiful.
ng Qi couldn’t get any information from the unconscious white fox. She only slled the lingering faint floral fragrance in the air. The scent was a bit peculiar but sowhat familiar. It was the sll of the forest after the rain, mixed with the sweet fragrance of white peaches, and the bitter taste of pine leaves. In addition, there was also a faint bittersweet aroma of charred sugar. That kind of sll was actually very relaxing and didn’t make people sensed any danger.
ng Qi had examined the unconscious Su Fox, but found nothing except for the wound on his body. At that ti, the chattery fox had already equivalent to a Spirit Severing cultivator and was even stronger than his current self. It was impossible for him to fell into such a state just because of skin trauma.
She pondered hard for a long ti before finally rembered a description in a book she once read about a similar floral fragrance. At that ti, she had not t her master yet, and most of her knowledge ca from Qingfeng Valley’s Library Pavilion. Besides, she also read various bamboo slips she bought from Cloud Immortal Pavilion with the spirit stones she saved. All of them could be shown to the people here.
Facing Lu Qingran, ng Qi smiled indifferently: “In Cloud Immortal Pavilion, we can buy three bamboo slips for two hundred first-grade spirit stones.” She paused for a mont, “They are: ‘Record of Demon thod,’ ‘Qingfeng Town Materia dica’ and ‘Demon Realm’s Scenery.'”
ng Qi took three bamboo slips from her storage bracelet. They were very ordinary books she bought from Cloud Immortal Pavilion. Because the books only wrote about local specialty and travel notes instead of spell or such, they were sold very cheaply. Even ordinary disciples in Qingfeng Valley could easily buy them after doing several elentary tasks.
Lu Qingran was startled. Chu Tianfeng waved his hand, and the three bamboo slips flew to her.
“Although Qingfeng Town is small, it is located at the border between the Eastern Realm, the Demon Realm, and Devil Realm. There are cracks in the boundary from ti to ti, allowing demon and devil cultivators to cross the border. So it isn’t strange that so books written by locals will have information about demons and devils. This book writes that the Demon Realm has a strange vine with flowers of various colors growing. The vine is extrely dangerous because it sucks other living being’s flesh, blood, and spiritual aura for its nourishnt. After being injured by the vine, the body would exude a strange fragrance. It was as sweet as white peach and as bitter as pine and charred sugar.” ng Qi said slowly.
Lu Qingran was speechless.
ng Qi’s expression remained unchanged, and she calmly continued, “This one records the experience of a great senior who once entered the Demon Realm. The senior ntioned seeing a green vine that can bloom multi-colored flowers, and use the body of monster beasts as a nutrient to grow itself. It was an abnormal and dangerous monster. The flowers emit a bitter and sweet fragrance, like sugar and pine, and people should avoid when slling it.”
ng Qi pointed to the last bamboo slip: “This book is compiled by the senior who has seen various plants from the Demon Realm. The record is similar to the previous two. In addition, it also ntioned that the monster beasts injured by this fragrant vine will be thirsty and drink a lot of water.”
“Except for these three, there are also several similar books and related records.”
ng Qi looked at Lu Qingran’s eyes: “When I enter senior sisters’ tent that day, I imdiately sll this fragrance. Qingfeng Valley is a dical sect, when I was in the sect, senior sisters mostly only had light dicinal scent on their body, and I never slled such a scent. So I was suspicious, and after a few inquiries, found out that they were indeed injured by a vine-like weapon, and always feel thirsty and hungry afterward.” She finished her words: “Thus, I suspected that they were injured by the vine described in these books.”
“Even so… “Lan Zhuxuan, who was supposed to soak herself with the five elents blue crane, was still standing in place. She looked at ng Qi palely, but her eyes were flickering. “How do you know its na? And also the treatnt thod?” She recalled Xun Yan’s previous accusations and beca more and more angry. “Is it also ntioned in those books?”
“No.” ng Qi shook her head.
“So, you really are lying to us!” Lan Zhuxuan suddenly raised her voice, “You actually don’t know the cure! You…you want to kill us!”
ng Qi stared at Lan Zhuxuan. She couldn’t tell them that she had once cured a person injured by immortal devouring vine. She, however, could guarantee that the thod was correct.
To explain the logic clearly, it would take too much ti. But she indeed could tell her thought of process when trying to save that Su Fox and how she reached that conclusion. Thinking of this, ng Qi couldn’t help but look at Su Junmo again.
At that ti, in order to save his life, she tried many thods she could think of, and gave him quite a number of unpleasant experiences. But this chattery fox generally only beca noisier when in discomfort, and his endless prattle turned her into the receiving end of the discomfort instead.
