Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1866: Chapter 1846:

”What’s up? Why are you in such a hurry?” Luo Qianqian, holding Tantan, and He Wenyu, carrying a Spirit Fruit Tree they stubbornly got from Elder Huozi, hurriedly followed behind Mo, while Di Jun, with a bewildered expression, trotted right after, his bamboo basket strapped to his back.

”Do you know where the nearest place is?” Mo was a little anxious: ”It’s the Forest of Myriad Poisons!”

Luo Qianqian was taken aback, meaning Long Tu, he...

He Wenyu’s eyes widened immediately: ”He won’t go to the Forest of Myriad Poisons, will he?”

”There are a few Spiritual Medicines in the Forest of Myriad Poisons that cannot be found outside; they are also essential ingredients in Shiqi’s elixirs. That’s why I said I would go with him, at least to ensure we wouldn’t be harmed by those... Hey?”

Just as Mo’s words fell, the group saw a familiar figure up ahead, seemingly leisurely looking for something?

”Long Tu?” Di Jun, leaping high in excitement, threw his entire body forward.

Long Tu, seeing Di Jun about to ’pounce on him’, reacted instinctively... and dodged.

Di Jun, caught off guard, fell to the ground, face full of confusion.

Is this his good friend? How could he treat him like this?!

”You guys are so slow, if you’d been any later, you wouldn’t have been able to pick them.” Long Tu glanced at the group, his eyes lingering momentarily on Mo before looking at a plant in front of him. ”Now that you’re here as well, I don’t have to rush, otherwise I’d worry about damaging the flower.”

”Three Breaths?” Mo looked at the flower in front of him, momentarily stunned.

Though this flower could be considered rare, it’s also something people tend to avoid at all costs.

Because this flower lives up to its name, Three Breaths; from when it flowers, the pure white Three Breaths then turns black, returning to its original color. After it blackens, it becomes highly toxic, and the toxin from Three Breaths is the main ingredient in ’Bloom’ poison. Illusions and life burst into their most beautiful form in just three months, then wither away. The ’Bloom’ poison remains unsolved to this day.

As Three Breaths remains unsolved.

”What do you want it for?” Mo frowned, as this thing is generally used as poison, and picking it within Three Breaths doesn’t render it any special function, or rather, not even the poison of Three Breaths can be dissolved.

As for such Spiritual Medicine, people have always kept their distance. Even he doesn’t dare touch it lightly.

For once it blackens, even if it merely touches the skin, it quickly penetrates the body. A slight intake could drag one into an inescapable illusionary realm.

And if the pollen gets inside the body... the hallucination is almost incurable.

Luckily, the ’Bloom’ poison is artificially crafted afterward, not the primary function of Three Breaths, but even so, it’s no less terrifying.

The person who concocted ’Bloom’? None other than his grandfather.

Therefore, he knows better than anyone that ’Bloom’ has no solution.

But fortunately, due to its frightful nature, even his grandfather achieved success only once under very fortuitous circumstances. So even with a recipe, nobody is suicidal enough to concoct ’Bloom’.

Hence, the amount of ’Bloom’ in the world is extremely limited, each portion used means one less portion remaining.

And he knows very well who holds the remaining portions.

As long as it’s not used on their family, he doesn’t mind staying on the sidelines.

After all, there are things they desire to do but cannot, and things they cannot interfere with. Some people and matters, even if they want to make a move, are powerless.

Long Tu remained silent for a moment, then looked at the sky: ”Three Breaths, in its pure white state, is the ingredient for a Growth Pill.”

”Indeed, but... generally speaking, doesn’t usually have any purpose, right?” Mo nodded, because nobody is spending time and effort collecting materials to make Growth Elixirs now.

Given the materials are exceedingly rare, requiring a Senior Alchemist to concoct, with a certain failure rate, not only does one need to consider the elixir’s wastage but also prepare gifts for the Alchemist. Moreover, even if all prepared materials feel adequate, there’s a chance of complete failure.

Therefore, typically people don’t bother with it fruitlessly, plus, other materials required aren’t easier to procure than Three Breaths, and this drug has no other function, only helps the consumer reach the next physical state, such as transitioning from adolescence to young adulthood, from young adulthood to adulthood.

However, young people usually can achieve this through disguise or transformation, so rarely anyone at such age still consumes a Growth Elixir. Although undeniably, the scarcity of Growth Elixirs surpasses even ’Bloom’.

After all, ’Three Breaths’ will undergo toxic transformation if not picked within Three Breaths, so from some angles, the environment for concocting Growth Elixirs is even stricter than for ’Bloom’. Carelessness can result in all the painstakingly acquired Three Breaths transforming toxically and ruining the entire elixir.

Mo stared at Long Tu at a loss for words, but it was certain Long Tu didn’t intend to explain further, or discuss or require their so-called advice and suggestions.

Long Tu gazed silently at Mo, without a word. In some sense, he knew more about certain matters than this person but couldn’t reveal them. Just imparting a little, she would soon use her wit to deduce several things.

So... why bother hiding for so long?

Thus, silence becomes the best explanation, the best answer.

Luo Qianqian looked at Long Tu strangely, always feeling as though some fragment of inspiration flashed by, but was certain there was something unnoticed.

Yet, the feeling slipped by, leaving her perplexed. She gazed suspiciously at Mo and Long Tu, falling silent.

”Shiqi, come look, it’s about to bloom.” He Wenyu, surprised by the pure white bloom before him, exclaimed joyfully.

Luo Qianqian barely had time to react before Mo grabbed her: ”Stay behind and watch when it’s picked, don’t make any fuss.” His gaze was indescribably serious, obviously not holding the slightest bit of frivolity.

Luo Qianqian paused, but pulled He Wenyu and Tantan back quickly. As for Di Jun, though she said nothing, he quickly chose to retreat, given he was insufficiently powerful, lacked any resistance to poison, and not fleeing would be senselessly sacrificial.
