第五卷 天云十二州 第九百一十七章 毒龙茶

An Incarnation of the Essence!

Su Luo's face turned pale.

Originally, with his cultivation level, he wouldn't be able to discern Lin Xuan's realm. But a few days ago, by chance, he had met Fairy Miao You at this place.

The terrifying spiritual pressure from her made him shiver all over.

And the person in front of him seemed even more terrifying than Fairy Miao You.

Without hesitation, it was clear that the other party was an Incarnation of the Essence. Perhaps even a middle-stage one. Su Luo's forehead was covered with beads of sweat as he thought this.

The man was quite clever. Although witches despised cultivators to their core, such beings were not something he could offend.

As they say, a wise man doesn't take advantage of others' weaknesses. He hurriedly bowed respectfully: "Junior Su Luo from the Star Palace. What can I do for you, Senior?"

Lin Xuan smiled and said calmly, "I'm just visiting an old friend. Nothing more."

Su Luo's expression turned even worse as he heard this. After all, the Silver Phoenix Tribe had only moved here a month ago. Could it be that the other party was here to see Fairy Miao You?

Behind him were several people, both men and women, but each of them had a high cultivation level at least mid-stage Essence Condensation.

Fairy Miao You's ethereal light flashed as she flew alone in front of Lin Xuan. She bowed gracefully: "It is indeed you, Daoist Friend. I apologize for not coming to greet you properly. Please do not mind."

"Daoist Friend, are you really in seclusion? Why would you come here personally?" Lin Xuan smiled and held his fist.

"I am indeed in seclusion, but since Brother Lin saved my life, it's inappropriate of me to be so careless. That's why I came personally," Fairy Miao You explained as she tidied her hair.

"Daoist Friend, please don't mention it. By the way, where is Phoenix Sister? She didn't come with you?"

"She said she wanted to go on a trip and has already left Mount Cangmíng." Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment but quickly hid it away.

"Ah, I see," Fairy Miao You did not doubt. "Daoist Friend, since you have arrived here as our honored guest, please come in and we can chat more."

"Alright."

Lin Xuan had no objections and was led by Fairy Miao You into the most important building of the witches.

The witches they encountered along the way were numerous, but seeing a Spring Tribe cultivator enter so boldly, their faces showed astonishment. However, when they saw Fairy Miao You leading the way respectfully, they dared not object or ask questions. Of course, behind the scenes, whispers and speculations were inevitable.

Such low-level cultivators couldn't use sound transmission to eavesdrop on Lin Xuan's strong spiritual awareness. But he wouldn't waste his time doing such trivial things.

After a while, Fairy Miao You brought Lin Xuan to an elegant garden filled with blooming flowers. The air was thick with exotic fragrances.

"Ah, Dragon Snake Grass, Purple Stem泽兰, and Heavenly Net香. I didn't think these rare herbs still existed here," Lin Xuan said in surprise.

He had visited the Star Palace before, but there wasn't a garden like this. Could it be that after the Silver Phoenix Tribe took over, they renovated and replanted?

Of course, he wouldn't reveal his suspicions to anyone.

"Daoist Friend, you truly have extensive knowledge," Fairy Miao You's expression showed surprise. She knew those herbs contained potent poisons, and according to her understanding, the Spring Tribe cultivators had little expertise in using poisons.

"I beg your pardon," Lin Xuan said casually.

They walked through a few clusters of flowers and arrived at a pavilion. The table and chairs were made from some unknown soft jade.

Taking their seats, Fairy Miao You personally brewed a special tea for Lin Xuan: "Daoist Friend, try this. This is a secret brew of the Moon Shadow Clan; only Incarnations of the Essence can drink it."

"Why?" Lin Xuan was surprised and showed interest on his face.

"Because this tea contains not just medicinal herbs but also several toxic plants," Fairy Miao You explained patiently.

"Toxic plants?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow. "Could they enhance cultivation?"

"No, that's not the case." Fairy Miao You shook her head. "While this tea doesn't increase one's spiritual energy, it does strengthen the body. Unfortunately, its toxicity is too strong for cultivators below Incarnation of the Essence."

"Oh, I want to try it then."

Lin Xuan picked up the cup and drank it without hesitation.

A stream of fiery energy flowed into his dantian and slowly spread throughout his body. He felt refreshed and elated. Lin Xuan bowed: "Fairy Miao You, I have a request. Would you be willing to share the recipe with me?"

"Daoist Friend, please don't mention it. If not for you, Fairy Miao You would already be a meal in that beast's stomach. I can't express my gratitude enough. What do you want?" Fairy Miao You said emotionally.

"It's nothing much. I just think this tea is delicious and wonder if you'd be willing to share the recipe with me," Lin Xuan smiled.

"Ah, Daoist Friend, it's not that simple. Although I'm reluctant, these toxic plants in the tea are too potent for even us Incarnations of the Essence to consume frequently." Fairy Miao You shook her head and quickly explained.

"It doesn't matter. I have my own plan. Fairy Miao You, you only need to agree or refuse," Lin Xuan said confidently.

Fairy Miao You was secretly surprised. She could only drink a few cups of this Poison Dragon Tea in a year as an Incarnation of the Essence. Hearing his tone, it seemed he wanted to consume large amounts, which was unbelievable.

After all, her cultivation level was far inferior to Lin Xuan's, but witches were experts in using poisons. Since she had been exposed to various toxins since childhood, she believed her anti-toxin abilities weren't weaker than the other party's.

Had she underestimated him?

Fairy Miao You couldn't blame herself for this. Although she knew Lin Xuan used Green Illusion Fiery Mist and understood its power, she hadn't personally practiced it. Therefore, she didn't know that he even dared to take Detoxifying Pills; a small Poison Dragon Tea was nothing.

It had only benefits with no side effects.

"Why not? Fairy Miao You hasn't decided yet," Lin Xuan showed some impatience on his face.

"Ha ha, I'm just surprised. Daoist Friend, since you have such great abilities, there's no need for me to worry. Although this recipe is a secret, since Brother Lin saved my life, I won't hide anything from you. There's no need for exchange; take it," Fairy Miao You said as she moved her eyes.

Compared to his abilities, the Poison Dragon Tea recipe was insignificant.

After speaking, Fairy Miao You stretched out her hand and tapped her waist, taking out an empty jade scroll. She immersed her spiritual awareness in it...

Soon, she smiled and handed the jade scroll to Lin Xuan: "Daoist Friend, the recipe is inside."
