Chapter 48: Longevity Pill (Part 2)
At that moment, deep within the Alchemy Hall.
The woman in palace attire delicately painted her eyebrows in front of the mirror, displaying a hundred charming and thousand enchanting expressions. Jia Wei, standing beside her with some resemblance in their eyebrows and eyes, handed over a valuable hairpin with both hands.
Behind the two, a white-bearded old man knelt, with a pharmacist badge from the Xiancao Tower hanging from his waist.
The woman in palace attire swept a glance at him through the mirror, displeased, and asked, "Du Zhong, you clearly told me that he would be burned from the inside out within three months. Now it's almost four months, why haven't I seen any movement from Tao Fengnian's side? Don't tell me you no longer want the Foundation Building Pill?"
Du Zhong shivered and hastily said, "Perhaps Tao Fengnian has been nurturing himself well these days, so there has been a slight delay. But rest assured, once he ingests the gu worm, even immortals will find it hard to save him."
Du Zhong sneakily glanced at Jia Wei, and Jia Wei, approaching Jia Xiuchun, smiled, "Big sister, don't worry too much. I went to check a few days ago, and Tao Fengnian does indeed go into seclusion every day at noon. He must have taken the gu worm."
"And I also followed your instructions to inform that little maid in his house about the possession matter. Once Tao Fengnian is poisoned, he will have no choice but to possess her. No matter who survives in the end, it won't be easy for either of them."
Jia Xiuchun closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Elder Lin specially instructed that he doesn't want to see Tao Fengnian when he comes out of seclusion. He also can't have an easy death. Tao Fengnian almost killed Elder Lin back then, and Elder Lin was tormented by the cold poison, suffering unbearable pain. We can't let him off easily."
Jia Wei nodded, "Yes, I haven't let him off these past few years, constantly squeezing his life out of him every few days. He treasures that little maid like a jewel; if he wants to survive by possessing her, it will be a tough road. No matter what, it won't be pleasant for him."
Jia Xiuchun raised an eyebrow.
Du Zhong hurriedly said, "Rest assured, even if he successfully possesses her, he won't be able to escape the gu poison. It will only be a few more painful days for him."
Jia Xiuchun smiled, "Very well, when Elder Lin comes out of seclusion, I will ask for a Foundation Building Pill for you. You may leave now."
Du Zhong took his leave, and Jia Wei glanced at the door, lowering his voice, "Big sister, your appearance is considered top-notch in the Heavenly Origin Sect. You always follow around that old man, Lin Xiangtian. Don't you feel wronged? There are so many Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the sect..."
"Shut up!"
Jia Xiuchun glared at him, and Jia Wei obediently covered his mouth.
Jia Xiuchun said, "If I hear such words again, you can forget about getting a spirit stone or a pill from me! Ever!"
Jia Wei begged for mercy with a hand over his mouth.
Jia Xiuchun looked at herself in the mirror and said softly, "If it weren't for him wandering the mortal world to redeem me, I would have died in the Flower Tower long ago. Where would the immortal fate come from, and where would your good days come from!"
Jia Wei didn't agree, "He just used your unique physique to experiment with drugs, that's all."
"Even if it's experimenting with drugs, so what? Do you know what kind of days I lived in the Flower Tower? Get out, don't let me see you these days! Go!!"
Jia Xiuchun knocked over the table full of rouge, and Jia Wei escaped in embarrassment. After leaving the Alchemy Hall, he looked towards Huaxi Valley.
"That old Tao must have accumulated quite a bit of wealth. Since he is going to die, I can't let others benefit from it."
The woman in palace attire delicately painted her eyebrows in front of the mirror, displaying a hundred charming and thousand enchanting expressions. Jia Wei, standing beside her with some resemblance in their eyebrows and eyes, handed over a valuable hairpin with both hands.
