He Lan Tianxia

Chapter 261 A Vicious Heart Secretly Rejoices

"Lingyi, are you really sure you can't get into this cave?" Several days had passed in the blink of an eye, and Murong Junlan was still hoping to find hope in Lingyi.

“Your Highness, apart from my Spirit Serpent Cave treasure chamber, this stone cave is the second best sealed. With my cultivation level, I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do, unless, unless…”

"Unless what?" Murong Junlan seemed to have heard a hidden message, and his hopeless heart was rekindled.

"Unless the Pavilion Master opens the mechanism himself." Lingyi felt that this was the only way; it was the only solution it could think of after exhausting all its resources.

"You, go find Cangying and bring him back." Murong Junlan was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. Yan'er and the others have been locked up for days. There's probably nothing to eat or drink in there. They can't even hear you calling out. There's not even a crack in the door. Doesn't this Pavilion Master love his Yan'er? How could he bear to leave her inside to die with him? This man is too selfish.

As Lingyi and Cangying entered, Murong Junlan was still grumbling about the Pavilion Master. Murong Junlan shared her thoughts with Cangying and Lingyi.

"Do you think those poison pills will be effective against the people inside?" Murong Junlan asked bluntly.

"Poisonous pills!" The eagle, having followed Ling Yi in, hadn't yet noticed the mess on the ground. When it turned around, its anger was far greater than when it had been refining pills.

"How could this happen?" the eagle asked Lingyi. Lingyi told the eagle everything about Murong Dubai's pill refining. After listening, the eagle circled Murong Dubai more than a dozen times, and even stretched out its sharp claws to attack this bad guy who dared to mess with the pills. Its pills were originally only fifty percent poisonous, and with slow research, they might still be salvageable. But now, each pill was flashing with a ghostly green light, and the poison was pure and absolutely irreversible.

The eagle walked over and used its wing to pick out a grain for a closer look. Its heart immediately turned cold. It burst into anger and leaped up, letting out a furious cry. Its two claws slashed fiercely at Murong Dubai, as if it wanted to tear Murong Dubai to pieces.

This was the culmination of its months of hard work. Not to mention how it carried each of those snow lotuses back to the cave with its frail body, and how it spent countless days and nights refining those pills, all to present to Prince Murong. Now, it had nothing left. This pool of snow lotuses contained the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, a treasure that could only be found once in ten thousand years. It had been secretly excited for so long, anticipating how thrilled and happy the prince would be when it presented him with the snow lotus pills. Now, it had nothing left, all its efforts were in vain, and it had even been poisoned.

With a screech, the eagle slashed at Murong Dubai multiple times. The frail man didn't even flinch. The shopkeeper couldn't bear to watch any longer. After glancing at Murong Junlan a few times, he stepped in to block the eagle's attack for his master.

Lingyi stretched out its tail and collected all the poison pills into its pouch. It had somehow acquired a cloth bag and poured all the poison pills into it. It handed the bag to the eagle, but the eagle angrily turned away and refused to take it. Lingyi then handed the bag to Prince Murong. Murong Junlan hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and took it.

Murong Dubai remained seated on the ground, unmoved even by the attack from the eagle. It was as if the matter of the poison pill had nothing to do with him. No, it really had nothing to do with him. He was only responsible for refining pills; he wasn't forbidden from refining poison pills. From the slight upturn of his lips, a careful observer could easily guess his schadenfreude. Fortunately, no one paid attention to him, otherwise Prince Murong would have given him a good beating and thrown him out.

Indeed, Murong Dubai was secretly delighted at this moment, because in the past few days, with his strength, he had easily refined a poison pill that he never dared to dream of. He had to thank that bastard Cangying for this achievement, as well as the pool of ice and snow lotus flowers. He had encountered them in this fairyland where spiritual energy and profound energy were mixed, which brought him immense wealth.

Whether the people inside can get out or not is none of his business. However, if they can't open the cave, he will stay here with his sister Yan. Perhaps this is what it means to stay together forever.

Hmph, eldest brother, you didn't expect that, did you? If you hadn't personally instructed me, I probably wouldn't even be qualified to refine poison pills.
