Chapter 97: To Search for Hidden Treasures (3)
Including Zi Huo's medicinal cauldron, these were all treasures that Apothecaries would yearn for in their dreams.
Countless experts on the continent have sought this"Obscure Pill Recipes"in order to curry favors with Apothecaries. However after having flipped over the entire continent in their search, no one was able to find it. Yet, she would never have imagined that in her hunt for Su Luo she had unexpectedly lucked out. She found "Obscure Pill Recipes", and even Zi Huo's medicinal cauldron.
At this moment, Nen Lu almost went mad with joy!
She trembled with jubilation and extreme excitement. She almost jumped up for joy in her elation .
She reached out for the"Obscure Pill Recipes", but very quickly she withdrew her hand.
She didn't dare, she was afraid of death.
This was because the corpses lying haphazardly on the floor told her that Elder Zi Huo was definitely a poison expert. His belongings definitely could not be encroached upon by just anyone.
"You, come here!" Nen Lu raised her long sword to Su Luo's neck, coldly glaring at her as if looking at a dead man.
"You want to kill me to silence me?" Su Luo lifted the corner of her lips in a slight smile that was not truly a smile.
"Kill you to silence you?" Nen Lu laughed out loud. "I definitely will kill you to silence you. Otherwise, if even half a word of what happened here were to spread from your lips, great trouble will befall our Jade Lake Palace. Therefore, you must die."
"Really?" Su Luo faintly smiled. Just great, she too had a similar notion.
"But right now, you can't die yet." Nen Lu used the long sword to threaten Su Luo and bellowed, "Bring that"Obscure Pill Recipes"over here."
Nen Lu wanted to appropriate everything here for herself, but she would not even dare to touch them.
Obviously, she was being used as a lab rat! Su Luo felt a chill flashed across her heart; her gaze fell upon the corpses on the floor, one had a dagger stabbed into it.
Icy-cold light reflected off the dagger.
"Fine." Su Luo did not refuse. She walked over step by step, with a harmless smile on her face.
"Quickly pick it up!" Nen Lu coldly commanded.
She wanted to use Su Luo to test for poison, to see if this"Obscure Pill Recipes"had any poison on it.
Right now, at this crucial moment, she must not die. Discovering Elder Zi Huo's cave, what other achievement could compare to it? Having this achievement, in the future, even Qing Ning that bitch, would be beneath her.
Perhaps, she could take those things and escape to faraway places. This also was not a bad idea, such thoughts quickly flashed through Nen Lu's mind.
Su Luo watched Nen Lu's constantly changing expressions, and a hint of sneer appeared in her eyes.
An inexperienced naive idiot.
But the expression on Su Luo's face remained unchanged, and when her hand touched the book, she silently mouthed, "Collect."
Suddenly, in an instant, the book vanished from the bookshelf.
"Huh— what happened? Where's the book?" Su Luo pretended to be surprised, and with a expression of having lost her head out of fear, she screamed out loud.
Nen Lu's whole face had a look of utter disbelief.
She had kept a very close eye on it just now. Her line of sight never once leaving Su Luo's hand, yet she could only helplessly watch as that book, in an instant, vanished without a trace.
What actually happened? The book was fine, how could it just disappear?
This time, I must have seen a ghost!
Nen Lu could confirm that during such a short time, Su Luo had no chance to pull off any tricks. It was a pity that no matter how much she speculates, she could never have guessed that Su Luo was unexpectedly a space mage, with her body carrying a portable space.
That was why, Nen Lu's first reaction was to leap to the bookshelf and search for it continuously.
At this time, Su Luo was bending over pretending to search for it, but she furtively pulled out the dagger.
Seeing that Nen Lu's whole attention was focused on searching through the"Primeval Pill Recipes", the corner of Su Luo's mouth lifted into an ice-cold, unrestrained, demonic and sly smile.
No sooner said than done ——
Chapter 98: To Search for Hidden Treasures (4)
With a barely perceivable movement of Su Luo's hand, that dagger had already vanished into her sleeves.
All of Nen Lu's attention was focused on finding "Obscure Pill Recipes", so she did not notice Su Luo's covert movements.
"Where did it go? Why can't I can't find it?" Su Luo questioned with a puzzled look upon her face, firmly gripping the dagger in her sleeves as she stealthily approached Nen Lu.
"Was it because——" Nen Lu frowned. She was about to turn around when she noticed a shadow rapidly coming towards her. Nen Lu subconsciously tried to block the attack with her hand, tragically causing her right hand to be severed neatly at the wrist. The place of the cut was flat and smooth.
Immediately, blood wildly gushed out from the open wound as if it wasn't vital to Nen Lu's life!
"Ahhhhh——" Only after seeing the severed hand that had fallen on the ground did Nen Lu finally realize what had happened! She screamed out loud in agony.
Su Luo was equally unsatisfied with this result.
Originally, Su Luo had a well thought out plan: directly stab Nen Lu's heart through her back. With Su Luo's speed and accuracy, it wouldn't be possible for Nen Lu to escape death. Still, who would have known that at the last moment Nen Lu would manage to retain her life.
If Nen Lu did an about face and ran right now, she would merely lose a hand but would preserve her life.
It's a pity that Nen Lu was so blinded by her hatred of Su Luo at the moment so she was itching to make mincemeat out of Su Luo to appease the hatred in her heart. Consequently, Nen Lu didn't even take the time to think before picking up the long sword that had fallen with her dismembered hand while ignoring the pain she felt. She directly charged at Su Luo with a murderous strike.
A cold smirk flashed across Su Luo's eyes. She took out a book from her space and tossed it toward Nen Lu with a smile on her face. "Catch it! Don't lose it again."
""Obscure Pill Recipes"?" Nen Lu's eyes opened wide. She stared with stunned amazement at the "Obscure Pill Recipes"that appeared in Su Luo's hand from out of nowhere. Her attention was momentarily distracted.
However, this short split second of carelessness was enough for Su Luo!
Immediately after she threw the "Obscure Pill Recipes"in Nen Lu's direction, Su Luo had quickly shifted her body and arrived at Nen Lu's back like a ghost. While Nen Lu's attention was momentarily distracted, like a demon from hell, Su Luo raised the new dagger she had picked up and slashed Nen Lu's neck——
Immediately, blood gushed forth!
Nen Lu was staring blankly at the "Obscure Pill Recipes"in her hand. Her nails had whitened because she was ready to explode with rage.
However, Nen Lu could only watch the unstoppable blood pour out of her neck. She glared at Su Luo with an expression of having suddenly realized something. "Space, space….mage…."
Afterwards, with an unreconciled expression, Nen Lu fell backwards. Her eyes were wide open with malevolence. Even in death, they wouldn't close due to residual resentment.
Su Luo grabbed the "Obscure Pill Recipes"from Nen Lu's clenched fingers, patted off the dust, and was all smiles as she said. "Correct, this young lady is a space mage. It's a pity you only realized it as you were dying. It. Was. Too. Late!"
At this moment, Su Luo was very thankful for her space. In the beginning, she had felt that it was weak. Now, she had slowly discovered its exceptional qualities.
After eliminating Nen Lu, Su Luo started to look around for treasure.
She stood in front of the bookshelf. The shelves were full of advanced pharmacology books, many of which Su Luo couldn't comprehend.
However, that didn't matter. She will take all the books back and slowly study them. Su Luo did not grab the books one by one. Instead, she placed the entire bookshelf into her space.
Afterwards, Su Luo held her chin and started to circle around Zi Huo's medicinal cauldron. While circling, she took its measure by looking it up and down. She pondered this medicinal cauldron was nothing special but why was it so heavy?
Yes, it was definitely quite heavy. Su Luo had already tested its weight a moment ago.
