Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1746: Chapter 1726:

”You’ve really helped a lot with this.” Luo Qianqian’s eyes suddenly lit up, ”Then I can buy that...”

”What else do you need? Let me see if I have it.” Long Tu looked at Luo Qianqian’s excitement and was somewhat surprised.

He had heard He Wenyu mention the child’s situation before, so if he could help, he definitely would.

”These.” Luo Qianqian silently took out a list and gave a bitter smile. Actually, it’s good to be able to buy things here, but there are two items that aren’t available in the academy, considered very rare, and Mo repeatedly reminded her that these items are crucial and irreplaceable...

”Other than these two, I’ve got everything else.” Long Tu glanced over the list and seemed a bit surprised. The formula looked ordinary, yet each item was the most gentle among alternative medicines of its type, making them ideal for use on the child without any doubt.

Especially since these medicines have no aggressive properties, they won’t lean toward any specific attributes and won’t cause severe harm to a body that’s yet to start cultivation.

These are knowledge he’s accumulated slowly from recent missions.

”You have everything except these two?!” Luo Qianqian was stunned, looking at Long Tu in disbelief.

Long Tu nodded slowly, ”I have them, but they’re in my dormitory. If you want them, I’ll bring them to you tomorrow.”

”Great, thank you.” Luo Qianqian looked bewildered, ”Now I just need to find these two...” But coincidentally, Mo had said these two weren’t available in the academy.

”I have a way to get this, but it will take some time.” Long Tu looked at the last herb on the list, silently paused before speaking carefully.

”What are you talking about?” The Military Governor joined in with a curious look, but Luo Qianqian and Long Tu ignored him at this moment.

”How long do you need? No... Can you get it within a year?” Luo Qianqian hurriedly asked, eyes filled with hopeful light. She initially planned on checking out the black market auction in Freedom Town, although it’s chaotic there, but there are surely various mysterious goods. Maybe they’ll have it?

”I guess it’ll take about half a year? I’m not sure, but I can check.” Long Tu hesitated slightly, seeing Luo Qianqian’s excitement.

”Eh? Isn’t this the Flower of Light? What, someone got poisoned?” Di Jun pointed at the second to last item with curious eyes.

However, the paper clearly had ’Light Mandala’ written on it.

”You know about this? You’ve seen it? You have it?” Luo Qianqian’s eyes filled with hope as she asked Di Jun.

Di Jun was startled by Luo Qianqian’s attitude, nodded, then shook his head.

”What do you mean by nodding and then shaking your head? You’re really making me anxious.” Luo Qianqian got a bit agitated, hopping in place.

The people in Glory Hall looked at them mournfully, wishing they could hop too! Their business was about to start but got snagged away!

”I know about this thing, but I don’t have it.” Di Jun shrugged, ”This thing grows in the darkness of the light, and is usually used together with the ’Dark Mandara’ which grows in the light of the darkness. The Dark Mandara is extremely poisonous, symbolizing endless darkness and despair; taken alone it causes corrosion leading to death, but with Light Mandala it’s just a regular tonic. The Light Mandala symbolizes life and hope; taken alone it causes the body to explode and die.”

What kind of Flower of Light is this! It’s also a poison!

Seeing these two corresponding items at the end of the formula, Luo Qianqian was somewhat troubled. Wouldn’t this have bad consequences?

What if one of them was fake medicine? Wouldn’t Nianan be in life-threatening danger?

”But carrying it can prevent poison gas and insect harm, which is quite good. I remember someone having such a sachet before. Was it my aunt?” Di Jun mumbled.

Hope flared up in Luo Qianqian immediately, ”Can you get this Flower of Light?”

”That thing? Can’t get it, it’s impossible to cultivate it, it only grows naturally in the darkness of the light, and strong Spiritual Beasts will surely guard its appearance. I haven’t seen this thing for a long time now, but some people still have dried ones from earlier days, carrying them as sachets.” Di Jun truthfully shook his head, ”In terms of medicinal properties, dried ones are fine, but they’re not as good as fresh ones. However, fresh flowers can’t be kept long, they wilt in about a month, since the places suitable for their growth are rare.”

Luo Qianqian’s eyes widened, but quickly she looked at Long Tu.

If even the Flower of Light is like this, wouldn’t the Dark Mandara be even harder to obtain?

Meeting Luo Qianqian’s gaze, Long Tu shrugged indifferently, ”I just happen to know a place where they’re growing, that’s all I know.”

”The Dark Mandara’s growing environment is much harsher than the Flower of Light, right? The Dark Mandara is...” Di Jun didn’t finish before Long Tu stomped on his toe, ”Ah!”

”But as far as I know, the Dark Mandara typically doesn’t have any guardian Spiritual Beasts.” Long Tu stated.

Di Jun looked at Long Tu mournfully, ”Why did you step on me?”

”Didn’t see.”

”Didn’t see, yet you stomped so hard?!

”The Dark Mandara indeed doesn’t have a Guardian Beast, but its growing environment ensures those who go have no return, and it carries poison itself, so why would a Spiritual Beast be so foolish? They’re also infused with Spiritual Wisdom, okay? How could they seek death?” Di Jun pouted but kept his thoughts to himself.

Having known Long Tu for so long, this was the first time he was stopped so seriously.

Were those words forbidden?

...

Oh right, maybe these things are rarely known by people here? Was he being too talkative?

So Long Tu was concerned about him? It turned out he didn’t misjudge this friend! A true buddy!

Consequently, Di Jun held no grudge about Long Tu stomping on his toe, instead looking at him with gratitude, as if he were gazing at a lifesaver.

Luo Qianqian was stunned, and if this was the situation, how could the ingredients for this formula be gathered?

Even if the Dark Mandara is obtainable, the Light Mandala isn’t...

Better go back and ask Mo, now there’s no way...

Since things were done, Luo Qianqian left with the two, as they were heading for their missions. Luo Qianqian was going to see He Wenyu at the shop, as after the monthly assessment she would undergo ’retreat’, so she wanted to cherish the time and spend more with family.
