1445 Let's Make a Deal(Chapter preview)

"Patriarch!"

Although they knew that with the clan elders and elders, Sima Zhi Yuan could not really drive them out of the clan as he wished, but even if it was mentioned so casually, it still surprised them!

"I shouldn't have brought the lot of you here! Get out of here! Scram, scram, scram!" Sima Zhi Yuan said as he waved impatiently.

Sima Tu and the rest glared at Sima You Yue, but didn't dare to say anything, other than flourishing their sleeves angrily, they could only leave.

Sima You Yue watched them leave and saw a smile emerge on Sima Xiu Qi and Huang Ying Ying's face.

From the very beginning, she discovered that Grandfather and Grandmother were not happy, and the gaze towards Sima Tu was full of anger and forbearance.

Now that he had gone, they didn't need to strain their eyes.

"Alright, now that those people are gone, You Yue, can you tell your great Grandfather, do they really need so long to recover?" Sima Zhi Yuan said.

"Yes." Sima You Yue said, "The poison in their bodies is called Hundred Days of Sleep. Poisoned people will fall asleep for a hundred days and consume their vitality in deep sleep. After a hundred days, they will lose their lives because their vitality has been completely exhausted."

"Hundred days of Sleep, I have never heard of this poison!"

"It's a very ancient poison. The effect will make people look similar to sleeping, so most people can't tell. Moreover, its materials are very rare, and the antidote is difficult to configure. Later, it gradually disappeared." Sima You Yue said, "If I hadn't come across it accidentally, I wouldn't be able to diagnose it."

"Then can you detoxify it?"

"I can develop an antidote, but as I just said, it will take a month." Sima You Yue said, "Moreover, they have been unconscious for more than half a month. Even after detoxification, their vitality has been eaten away. Quite a few of them will take a while to recover."

Hearing her explanation, it was equivalent to completely denying the possibility of Sima's participation in this competition.

Thinking of this, a trace of disappointment flashed by Sima Zhi Yuan's eyes.

Sima You Yue caught his disappointment and asked, "Great Grandfather, you really want the Profound Moon Fruit?"

"We have been looking for some medicinal materials over the years, and the Laughing Buddha Fruit they brought back is one of them. Through these years of hard work, we have almost all the materials and now we only lack this Profound Moon Fruit." Sima Zhi Yuan said .

"For refining pills?" Sima You Yue said affirmatively.

"Yes. We attained a pill formula and with it, our Ancestor can advance." Sima Zhi Yuan said, "Our Ancestor has been stuck at the upper level Paragon for a long time, and has not been able to advance. Now, his time is near. So, if he still can't advance, I'm afraid..."

The strength of the Sima family has been reduced a lot. If even their Ancestor is gone, they would be suppressed by other forces.

However, if he makes a breakthrough, the Sima Family's strength would increase a lot. One must know, a master in a family is also crucial.

No wonder Sima Zhi Yuan was so concerned about this competition.

Sima You Yue contacted Little Spirit, "Little Spirit, is there a Profound Moon Fruit in the Spirit Pagoda?"

"Yes." Little Spirit was busy brewing new wine and responded casually.

"Are there any above ten thousand years old?"

"Ten thousand years?" Little Spirit sneered, "Not to mention ten thousand years, there are even those that are a hundred thousand years old."

"Really?"

"It grows on the mountain and if no one picks it, it should be there. I don't have time to see it now, please feel it yourself." Little Spirit ignored her when he finished.

Sima You Yue swept her divine sense and true enough, she found the Profound Moon Fruit, and it was not just one tree, but one whole area!

On the cliff, there were densely packed saplings of Profound Moon Fruit, and at least one or two Profound Moon Fruit grew on every tree, and the age was not low at all!

If outside, someone would be crazy if they saw such a scene, but in here, it is just a very ordinary cliff.

Confirming that there was this in the Spirit Pagoda, she also had an idea. She didn't take it out immediately, but thought about it and said, "Great Grandfather, don't worry, if you can't get it this time round, I know where else to find one."

"Really? Where is it?"

"Don't ask about this, I will find a way." Sima You Yue said.

"If you get it, will it be too dangerous? Or tell me, I'll let someone to go instead..."

"Great Grandfather, the other party doesn't want people to know." Sima You Yue said, "So, don't worry, I will settle this."

"All right. If you need anything, just tell me." Sima Zhi Yuan answered her.

"I will. Now I will suppress the toxicity for them first, otherwise their vitality will be eaten away before I develop an antidote."

"Good."

"I will be administering acupuncture, you guys..."

"We will wait for you outside."

Sima Zhi Yuan took the people out, and Lang Zhong hesitated for a while in silence, and stood still.

Sima You Yue glanced at him and said, "What are you doing?"

"I want to see how you suppress this Hundred Days of Sleep for them." Lang Zhong said.

Sima You Yue stared at him, faintly said: "You know of the Hundred Days of Sleep."

"Yes, I do." Lang Zhong did not hide it either.

"Then do you know the antidote?"

"I know. But, I want to see how you detoxify it." Lang Zhong said.

"Are you a poison master?"

"It can be counted as half."

Sima You Yue contemplated about what he said in her heart.

"I want to administer the needle and need to undress them so you can't stay here." she said. "However, I can tell you the method as a condition in exchange for the antidote."

"A method of suppression, in exchange for the antidote for the Hundred Days of Sleep?" Lang Zhong raised his eyebrows, "Where is there such a good thing in the world?"

"Yes, there is!" Sima You Yue said, "This is a good thing for you."

"Oh?"

"Even if you don't tell me the antidote, as long as I study it for a few days, I can still develop an antidote. But you can't do it. If I don't tell you my method, can you think of it?" Sima You Yue smiled. Confident but not arrogant.

Seeing the smile on her face, Lang Zhong was taken aback, and then said: "Then let's see how attractive your method is to me."

"Then you go out first, come back in a while to check the results." Sima You Yue said.

"Alright!"

Lang Zhong turned around and went out, waiting to see the results of her suppression.

Once, someone wanted to suppress this, but...

When he worked out the antidote, the man had already left forever.

Suppression is impossible...

He came outside the house, Sima Zhi Yuan cupped his hand at him and said, "I didn't expect it to be the City Lord of Tangerine City. I was really disrespectful just now."

He already knew that he was going to follow Sima You Yue. Although it felt a little strange, since she agreed, she wouldn't drive him away.

"The Sima family is polite." Lang Zhong also returned the courtesy.

In the past, he would not bother to return such greetings from these family clan Patriarchs But since it was her Great Grandfather, how could not?
