Chapter 1831 - 671: Cold Ice and Blazing Fire Palm (Part 2)

Guo Zhaochen glared at Ban Shu upon seeing this.

Lord Ban Shu could only nod:

"I hope Alliance Leader Su can take us in."

"Alright."

Su Mo nodded:

"In that case, I have no reason to refuse.

"For now, you both can temporarily stay on this Imperial Court Mountain. If there are further arrangements, I will inform you."

"Alright."

Guo Zhaochen and Lord Ban Shu nodded.

They immediately stood up: "Then we shall take our leave for now."

"Guards!"

Su Mo called out to the outside, and someone stepped forward immediately, then Su Mo said:

"Escort the two guests to their quarters to rest."

"Yes."

The person responded, extended an arm to guide:

"Please, this way, gentlemen."

Guo Zhaochen wanted to say they knew where they were staying... no need for a guide.

But was pulled back by Lord Ban Shu, thus he did not speak.

The group of three disappeared in an instant.

Only when they were gone did Su Mo slightly frown and softly called out:

"Xiao He."

"I am here."

Someone immediately turned around and stepped forward from the side.

It was Xiao He.

Su Mo glanced at him, softly spoke to give instructions, then waved his hand:

"Go."

"Yes."

Xiao He agreed, and immediately flew away.

At this moment, Su Mo pinched the bridge of his nose gently, thought for a moment, and then ordered someone to bring a chessboard.

The subordinates, though not understanding why the Supreme Elder had such great interest today,

at this time, still planned to play a game?

Anyway, they quickly fetched it.

Placed it on the table, Su Mo placed the pieces without any hesitation.

In a moment, the chessboard was already filled by him.

This was an endgame.

The black and white pieces were in constant battle and entanglement, like two ferocious dragons.

Su Mo stared at the chessboard, frowning without speaking.

Suddenly feeling a gentle warmth beside him, he turned his head, and Little Situ was right in front holding a tray.

"Brother Su..."

She spoke softly.

Su Mo smiled slightly, glanced at the soup on the tray:

"What is this?"

"...All Healing Treasure Soup."

"???"

The hand Su Mo intended to use to take the soup paused suddenly.

Blinked, and looked at Little Situ again:

"(⊙_⊙)?"

Without further ado, Little Situ extended her hand, delivering the medicinal soup into Su Mo’s hand:

"This is made from dozens of fine herbs and poisons, specially added with some saliva from Xiao Lv.

"It has the effects of calming and focusing the mind, enhancing cultivation, strengthening muscles and bones, and eliminating all diseases.

"The medicine has no name, so I named it All Healing Treasure Soup, which seems well-deserved.

"Brother Su, drink it while it’s hot for the best effect."

"..."

Su Mo felt his face turning slightly green, couldn’t help but ask:

"Who is Xiao Lv?"

"It’s this one."

Little Situ extended her hand, a small frog rested peacefully in her palm.

Looking extremely serene, not at all like something poisonous.

At this moment, Su Mo felt his forehead paling by the second.

This creature relishes in poisonous snakes, its saliva is extremely toxic.

Jiang Yangliu went mad with just one lick from it.

Now it’s good; Little Situ put this saliva into the soup...

Even though Little Situ’s medical skill is excellent, Su Mo couldn’t help but doubt for a moment.

Yet seeing Little Situ’s eyes full of hope.

Su Mo pondered for a long time, took a deep breath, brought the bowl of soup to his lips.

Without savoring it.

Simply closed his eyes, gulped it down in one go.

Not stopping until not a drop was left, then he set the bowl down.

Little Situ asked:

"Is it good?"

"...Good."

Su Mo picked up a teacup, took a sip, suppressed the aftertaste of the soup, truly not daring to savor it.

Little Situ smiled immediately upon hearing:

"That’s good, I plan to make more.

"Xiao Lv’s saliva is extremely poisonous, yet also a powerful medicine.

"With various herbs added, it can be used to refine elixirs that improve physique.

"Then our people can take some and gradually become immune to hundreds of poisons.

"Making traveling in Jianghu a bit safer."

After hearing, Su Mo felt that there was some reason in what she said.

After all, when Jiang Yangliu was licked by this frog, despite the miserable look, he was bitten by so many poisonous snakes yet didn’t die from poison.

In the end, it was Sikong Hua Ji’s Divinity Transformation Seal that did him in.

Clearly, this little frog’s poison does have certain toxin-repellent abilities.

Though others find it hard to refine, Little Situ has that capability.

And after drinking this soup, Su Mo felt a surge of warmth, accompanied by a cooling breeze, moving through his entire body, an indescribable comfort.

He laughed immediately:

"Thank you for your effort."

"It’s no trouble."

Little Situ shook her head, glanced at the chessboard beside Su Mo:

"This... looks familiar?"

"The endgame from Dongmen Yong’s Qian Kun Cave."

Su Mo sighed lightly at this:

"Unfortunately, my chess skills are ordinary, fearing I cannot solve the mysteries within."

"Is it really useful?"

Little Situ placed the tray down and came behind Su Mo, gently massaging his acupoints.

Su Mo pondered for a moment before saying:

"Hard to say...

"Dongmen Yong’s wit is extraordinary.

"The arrangements in Qian Kun Cave should have other secrets.

"The Blood Lotus Sect Leader said that he left his secrets within those arrangements.

"It might not be a false claim.

"But likewise, it could be a trap set by Dongmen Yong.
