The Journey of Immortal Cultivation Chapter 810 - 448: The Tragedy of the Hulian Tribe

Ice wine needs to be kept at a low temperature, and the Hulian Family had chilled it beforehand. This thread of numbness cunningly hides beneath the bone-chilling cold, so ordinary people can’t detect it at all.

Unfortunately, she was born a foodie and extrely sensitive to drug effects, so she drank two extra cups, savoring it carefully, before coldly laughing and saying to Changtian: "How considerate, it’s actually a concoction of Five Petals, Tribulus, Shuaiqing Vine, Fuwizi, and White Pine Stone. The blend is excellent, with strong effects. Colorless and odorless, really a must-have for murder and robbery, wonder which Pill Master he bought it from. But looking at the amount used, it could topple an elephant, using it against , a woman barely able to bind a chicken, isn’t he afraid it might actually kill ?"

Tribulus is also known as Qianji dicine; Emperor Taizong of Song used it to poison Southern Tang’s last ruler, Li Yu. It induces full-body convulsions, but mixed with the other dicines here, it can numb nerves, becoming dizzying and hallucinogenic.

What she said was the objective truth. Hulian Zhe probably attempted evil for the first ti, not knowing how strong these drugs’ effects were. He dumped all the drug powder directly into the wine. If a mortal woman drank it instead, the dose might cause her heart to stop suddenly or suffocate to death. A perfectly good intoxicating drug, forcibly turned into a lethal one.

After drinking several cups of wine, she lightly swirled the wine glass, watching as the siblings’ gaze followed it intently: "The Hulian Family sure treats guests sincerely, putting colorless, odorless good drugs in the wine. Hulian Zhe, have you lost your mind and want to die?" Her words already carried a faint killing aura.

Hulian Zhe shivered, but his face showed joy: "Wonderful, this drug, this drug really can’t defeat you. You truly are an Immortal!"

His expression bewildered both of them: "Wonderful?"

Hulian Zhe laughed: "That’s right. I spent heavily to obtain this hypnotic drug from the mainland. They say just one dose can keep ordinary cultivators asleep for three days. If both of you drink it without issue, your abilities must be imnse!"

Tu Jin smirked: "Failing to poison us, do you wish to muddy the waters with words? Grandpa isn’t so easily deceived!"

If he snapped his fingers, this little guy before him would turn into a bloody mist. Fortunately, Hulian Zhe already waved his hands repeatedly: "Please, Immortal, understand. What I wish to entrust to you is not simple, if I can’t ascertain your abilities, how can we proceed with this deal?"

This ti, even Ning Xiaoxian found herself interested: "Oh, you actually have the guts to discuss business with Immortals?"

"Why not? My dad always said there’s no one in the world who can’t be swayed, even gods, as long as the temptation is big enough."

It’s indeed a universally true principle. The Hulian family’s old man had great insight, unlike the isolated Snow Mountain villagers. "Really, how did he know?"

Hulian Zhe earnestly replied: "Years ago, my dad saved a severely wounded Immortal in the Snow Mountain. Before leaving when healed, he gifted my dad a map of Atalia’s Snow Mountain as compensation. Thanks to this map’s guidance, our family started thriving here." He wasn’t wrong; holding rare and precious map data made business easier at the foot of the Snow Mountain.

"If that’s the case, that Immortal indeed had a kind heart. In this world, kindness doesn’t always get repaid." She understood cultivators’ nature too well; Hulian Zhe’s old man receiving such reward was enviable.

Hulian Zhe chuckled: "Indeed. Dad often said the sa."

Changtian whispered to her: "Do you believe that this Immortal never left here, possibly dying at Old Man Hulian’s hand? Otherwise, the map wouldn’t have co to him."

"..." Although she didn’t want to admit it, Changtian’s speculation made sense. In this family, the old dared to kill a mortal’s Immortal, and the young weren’t far behind, daring to poison her and Tu Jin; their audacity truly spans heaven and earth.

She was also tired of beating around the bush: "What are your terms for handing over this map?" Though seizing by cunning might sound refreshing, it depends on the target. If the target of seizing is an ordinary mortal, how would she differ from base creatures or demons?

At her request, Hulian Zhe imdiately grabbed his sister, and they both knelt together: "Please, Immortal, save my sibling’s lives."
