Chương 96: To Search for Hidden Treasures (2)
Not far from the workbenches, there was a bookshelf with a few books randomly placed on the shelves.
However, this was not the cause of Su Luo's astonishment. What amazed her was that there were about seven to eight corpses lying in various positions surrounding the workbench. Every corpse was air-dried and withered, as if the owner had passed away a long time ago.
It was very clear that these people had been in a very intense fight.
Su Luo was in the midst of frowning when suddenly, she sensed danger behind her. Su Luo immediately dropped and rolled on the ground to dodge.
"Didn't know that your survival skills were so great. Even the fall couldn't kill you!" Nen Lu said as she leaned on the corner wall for support. Her face displayed a duplicitous and furtive smile, full of strong killing intent.
In the beginning, Nen Lu was only following orders to kill Su Luo when she attacked the other. However, at this moment, Nen Lu was itching to dismember Su Luo into ten thousand tiny pieces for her own benefit.
"Aren't you also still alive?" Su Luo's smile was as light as a cloud and gentle like the wind. Nevertheless, a trace of apprehension appeared in her heart.
The opponent was a third ranked martial artist, while she herself had no spiritual strength. They were both injured, but by observing Nen Lu's attack a moment ago, Su Luo realized that Nen Lu's injuries were much lighter than hers.
Nen Lu was about to seize this opportunity to kill Su Luo when suddenly, her line of sight turned towards the interior of the room.
With just this one look, she was so amazed that her mouth fell open. Then, an ecstatic expression appeared on her face.
Nen Lu quickly walked into the room, full of excitement and with an incredulous expression.that looked at everything inside. She kept mumbling to herself. "This. This can't be real, right? Could it actually be Zi Huo's medicinal cauldron? Is it really Zi Huo's medicinal cauldron?"
"What is a Zi Huo's medicinal cauldron?" Su Luo asked, full of curiosity.
At this time, Nen Lu already viewed Su Luo as a dead person, so she felt no need to conceal anything from her. Right now, Nen Lu really needed to let out the ecstasy in her heart or else she would go mad from holding it in.
"I told you you were a good-for-nothing but you refuse to accept it. You haven't even heard of Zi Huo's medicinal cauldron. Zi Huo's medicinal cauldron is a top-notch divine artifact pursued by all the Apothecaries in the world. If they use this medicinal cauldron to refine medicine, then the rate of success will increase by a hundredfold! Never mind, talking to you is simply like playing a lute to a cow (1). You don't even know what an Apothecary is, right?"
Confronted by Nen Lu's belittling expression, Su Luo coldly laughed in her heart. Sorry to embarrass you, but this great one actually has a wood-fire dual system and was preparing to level up as an Apothecary.
At this moment, Nen Lu looked at Zi Huo's medicinal cauldron in wonder. Her sword was emitting mysterious rays of light as she murmured to herself. "It was said that during that time, Elder Zi Huo went into seclusion. Could it be that he finally died here?"
"Elder Zi Huo?" Su Luo again asked, "Who is he?"
Nen Lu rolled her eyes. "You haven't even heard of Elder Zi Huo? This renowned Elder was the world's only Grandmaster level Apothecary. Do you know how many famous families and noble clans under the heavens wanted to curry favor with this renowned Elder? Yet you have actually never heard of this Elder Zi Huo. Your stupidity can't be cured. I really have nothing more to say to you."
Su Luo knew that the continent's Apothecaries were divided into levels: Elementary Apothecary, Intermediate Apothecary, Advanced Apothecary, Elite Apothecary, as well as Grandmaster Apothecary.
It was extremely difficult to advance to the next Apothecary level.
However, Apothecaries were rare, thus making every Apothecary extremely precious.
Su Manor's Apothecary was only an Elementary Apothecary, but due to his existence, he was able to ensure that Su Manor did not topple for the past few decades.
She never expected that the Elder Zi Huo was the legendary rumored Grandmaster Apothecary. It was indeed hard to imagine.
"Wow!" Nen Lu, who was lingering in front of the bookshelf ahead, suddenly loudly shrieked, "Primeval pill recipes! Unexpectedly, "Obscure Pill Recipes"(2) is also here! Oh heavens! Jackpot, I really hit the jackpot!"
"Obscure Pill Recipes" was Elder Zi Huo's personal notes. It was a written record of his life's knowledge and experience regarding medicinal recipes. Inside, it also had a lot of primeval pill recipes which had not been passed on and were thought to be lost for eternity.

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 ——
