Chapter 1468: Chapter 1462: Underground River of Corpses

Poison Venerable.

Xin Lin was having a headache, but upon hearing the name of Poison Venerable, her pupils slightly contracted.

Tu Suxuan’s expression changed even more.

He finally understood why Manager Huang was being so difficult.

The opponent was indeed not an easy target.

"Third sister, that Spiritual Wisdom Grass might be hard to find."

Tu Suxuan returned, scratching his head with some embarrassment.

"Second brother, what is the background of this Poison Venerable, and why do you seem so wary upon hearing her name?"

Xin Lin pretended to be puzzled.

"Third sister, there is something you don’t know. This Poison Venerable is the disciple of the State Preceptor of Tu Yuan Country, extremely skilled in using poison. Moreover, this person is very meticulous, not to mention snatching her belongings; even if she slightly dislikes something, the consequences could be as mild as disfigurement or as severe as mutilation."

Tu Suxuan secretly lamented.

The troubles brought by the Hao Tian Festival were truly not insignificant.

The Poison Venerable was a guest who arrived uninvited this time during the Hao Tian Festival. The Imperial Family did not invite her, but she came on her own, making the Fuzhou Royal Family quite troublesome; they had no choice but to treat her as a distinguished guest, serving her with the best tea and water.

"If that’s the case, I won’t insist. If the Daffodil Chamber of Commerce doesn’t have the Spiritual Wisdom Grass, I’ll just go elsewhere to buy it."

Xin Lin smiled.

"I’m afraid that’s not possible. Considering Poison Venerable’s nature, she is also lacking Spiritual Wisdom Grass. Not just Wangjing, but I fear you won’t find a single stalk across Fuzhou now."

After speaking, Tu Suxuan cautiously glanced at Xin Lin’s expression.

"Not necessarily; indeed there is a place with Spiritual Wisdom Grass, but still..."

Manager Huang also wished to befriend Xin Lin and her siblings, so he chimed in.

"Where is it?"

Xin Lin couldn’t help but feel delighted.

"Kutuo River. But..."

Manager Huang hesitated, cautiously observing Tu Suxuan’s reaction.

Sure enough, when Manager Huang uttered those three words, Tu Suxuan’s expression became even worse than when he heard Poison Venerable’s name.

"Manager Huang, aren’t you deceiving my third sister? That place is not meant for humans to visit."

Tu Suxuan quickly gestured toward Manager Huang.

Tu Suxuan didn’t know what Xin Lin needed the Spiritual Wisdom Grass for, but considering his third sister’s nature, she was one for whom giving up was not an option. Once she set her sights on something, no one could pull her back.

This Manager Huang was usually perceptive, but how could he be so oblivious this time?

Tu Suxuan had already realized that both Poison Venerable and Bai You wanted the Spiritual Wisdom Grass, and it was indeed a source of trouble.

Kutuo River?

Xin Lin eagerly looked toward Manager Huang.

Manager Huang got the hint.

"Kutuo River is an underground dark river beneath Wangjing, dug by the previous Emperor when he founded Fuzhou in the Wangjing area. The surroundings are damp and cold, shrouded in darkness throughout the year, never seeing daylight. Such conditions are just perfect for the growth of Spiritual Wisdom Grass. Approximately every decade, a batch of Spiritual Wisdom Grass matures there, making it the richest region for Spiritual Wisdom Grass within Fuzhou. However, the place is not clean. If Miss Tu Su doesn’t mind waiting, I’ve already sent several pairs of mercenary armies to gather Spiritual Wisdom Grass."

Manager Huang shook his head with a smile.

In her view, Xin Lin and Tu Suxuan were both of noble descent, especially Xin Lin, who appeared dainty and delicate. They might spend money on buying medicine, but risking their lives for it seemed obviously impossible.

"Manager Huang is right; Kutuo River is a place not meant for the living. Third sister, listen to your big brother, and just wait for the Daffodil Chamber of Commerce to notify us about the Spiritual Wisdom Grass."

Tu Suxuan pulled Xin Lin along to leave.
