Chapter 38: Where Fortune and Misfortune Entwine

Hua Changxi stood at the entrance of the bedchamber, observing Eunuch Lu and Steward Leng. She was quite surprised, never expecting that Eunuch Lu would come in person.

Eunuch Lu had personally delivered the medicine and was now overseeing the brewing process himself. It seemed he intended to wait until the poisoned female servants had taken their doses before he would depart. This confirmed one thing for Hua Changxi: the prescription she had provided was far more valuable than she had initially imagined.

Indeed, given how Lu Qingluo and the others had been poisoned while processing herbs...

She possessed numerous properties in the capital, but on the surface, aside from the Princess's estate, there were only the Treasure Pavilion, two pawnshops, and the three shops that Ji Jing had inadvertently revealed.

She folded the check and tucked it into her wallet without ceremony. After a moment of contemplation, she gazed out the window, her expression darkening.

"I believe this possibility is quite high. After all, for that thing to mingle among us without being detected, it must possess some measure of capability."

"Vice President, tell your men to put down their weapons immediately!" Leng Fei shouted sharply. He took a firm step forward, stopping five meters away from Lan Zhan, his own muzzle trained directly on Yu Zeyao.

Even a genius among geniuses in the path of alchemy could not master the method of refining the Void Spirit God Pill within a few years.

"Xingchen, it’s your turn now..." Bai Yeqing was no better off than she was; his restraint had reached its absolute limit, every muscle in his body aching with tension.

The stone slab hit the ground with a dull thud, kicking up a cloud of dust. From the opening, a substance resembling gray ash began to spill out.

"If you're tired, try to get some sleep," Cheng Zheng said, adjusting the car's temperature to a comfortable level.

No matter how well you treat them, they always feel it is only their due. Since that is the case, why bother trying to appear so magnanimous? Let them say what they will; it isn't as if we’ve gained anything from it anyway.

I nodded. I noticed that when Sister Wuyan was here, she seemed to become much more serious and solemn, lacking the flirtatious manner she displayed back down the mountain.

Zhou Yi didn't even bother putting down the documents. He spoke directly, "Correct. Gongsun Zan did indeed participate in the joint petition at the time. Note that 'when the remonstrators were summoned, Zhi Tui was also called in, but his name was struck from the list.'"

This tremor felt as if the entire abyss was shaking. A strange and immensely powerful force surged from the depths, sweeping across the entire subterranean world of the abyss.

"I am the spirit beast of the Fifteenth Prince of the Tengjiao Kingdom! If you dare to kill me, every tribe and settlement in the Southern Wilderness will be buried with me!" Seeing the group cease their attack, the Black Tiger spoke with a smug expression.

Intermediate martial arts schools focus on tempering the skin, flesh, tendons, and meridians, but once one becomes a true martial artist, one can utilize starlight to temper the bones, blood, and marrow.

Man Bao listened along, gaining much from the lecture, and after putting aside her homework, she prepared to return to her room to sleep.

Lady Liu had been rescued directly from the dungeon. However, her lover was quite ruthless; not only did he ransack the Duke’s estate for valuable gold, silver, and fragments of the border-sealing talisman, but he also stole everything of value from Lady Liu’s chambers. He truly was quite unscrupulous.

Seeing this, Qin Mu shrugged helplessly, then turned and returned to his own room to cultivate.

After inspecting and registering their credentials, they were not given any further trouble and were allowed to set up their cameras with long-range lenses, waiting for eight o'clock in the morning to arrive.

Qin Mu had expected that consuming three Dragon-Transformation Fruits would dissipate the desires in his heart, but to his surprise, they only intensified. He had intended to save the final fruit for Tang Bao'er, which left him in a difficult position.

Come to think of it, the rampant trend of counterfeiting had a great deal to do with Jiahui. Over the years, she had used the capital of the Li Group to hoard large quantities of Burmese raw stones and had even gained control over four or five mining sites in Myanmar, causing the price of jadeite to soar straight upward.
