The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#279 - Such a vicious person

Lu Jing could feel the green-clad girl's intense hatred for the righteous people.

He hadn't personally experienced the battle five years ago, and most of what he knew about Wandu Valley was just hearsay. He didn't know the details, nor did he know what the green-clad girl had encountered before entering the academy. Naturally, he wouldn't try to persuade her to lay down the butcher knife and embrace love and peace at this time.

Lu Jing simply followed her words and said, "I'm looking for you to deal with a righteous person too."

"Are you taking me for a fool?" the green-clad girl sneered, "As far as I know, most of the students in the academy are disciples of famous sects, and they have to pass an assessment before entering. Unless they are extremely good at hiding, those with evil intentions would have been eliminated long ago."

"I'm not a disciple of a famous sect. My master was just an insignificant镖师," Lu Jing shook his head and said, "As for why I want to deal with that person, it's a long story… In short, there's no personal grudge between him and me. It's purely because if I don't poison that person, I won't be able to escape death myself."

"Heh, so you're just a villain who is willing to do anything to save your own life?"

"Heaven and earth will punish those who don't act for themselves," Lu Jing said confidently.

Of course, he wasn't just talking nonsense.

Because the green-clad girl had previously entrusted the Falling into the Mortal Realm to shameless villains like Xiao Yi, and she hated the righteous path of the martial world so much, Lu Jing, who had played so many games in his previous life, would have wasted all his efforts if he didn't know how to choose this dialogue.

The thatched cottage fell silent again.

And the silence lasted longer than the previous two times, but eventually the green-clad girl spoke again, "Which sect is the person you want to deal with from?"

"He can be considered my closest relative," Lu Jing said truthfully.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a series of giggles from the thatched cottage, but there was no joy in the laughter. It sounded rather desolate.

"Good, very good. I hope all those righteous people can taste the feeling of being betrayed by their loved ones!" the green-clad girl said, word by word.

"So, are you willing to help me?" Lu Jing asked happily.

"First, tell me what you want," the green-clad girl didn't agree immediately, paused, and said, "The Falling into the Mortal Realm in your hand is already the most potent poison of my Wandu Valley. Except for my Eastern lineage, even the direct disciples don't know how to refine this poison."

"I naturally know the power of Falling into the Mortal Realm, but two of the main ingredients, Fire Lantern Grass and White-Eyed Silkworm Clothes, are now hard to buy on the market," Lu Jing sighed.

"So, you want to get these two ingredients from me?"

"Do you have these two ingredients here? Do you have a lot?" Lu Jing's spirit was lifted when he heard this.

The green-clad girl was stunned by this question. After a moment, she said, "How much do you want?"

"How much do you have?"

"I have three taels of Fire Lantern Grass, and a little less White-Eyed Silkworm Clothes, only a little over one tael."

"Not enough, too little," Lu Jing shook his head repeatedly.

The green-clad girl's eyebrows furrowed. "These are already enough to refine four doses of Falling into the Mortal Realm. How could it not be enough?"

"I… I plan to wipe out his whole family," Lu Jing said with a flash of inspiration.

The green-clad girl gasped, obviously shocked by Lu Jing's ruthlessness.

Completely unaware that he was the only member of his family, so wiping out the whole family was no different from dealing with him alone.

Seeing that the green-clad girl hadn't spoken for a while, Lu Jing suspected that he had overacted, so he quickly asked, "Is it a bit too ruthless?"

"Ruthless? Heh, look at how they treat those they regard as heretics. Their minds are full of eradicating evil, have they ever considered giving the families of those people a way out?"

The green-clad girl said sharply, "So what if you kill their whole family?"

"I didn't want to kill his whole family. That would be too easy on him. I just want to cripple the internal energy of his whole family and make him live the rest of his life in regret," Lu Jing felt that he was also starting to get into character, and said sinisterly.

After speaking, he hurriedly asked, "So, do you have any way to replace Fire Lantern Grass or White-Eyed Silkworm Clothes with other medicinal materials, or poisons similar to Falling into the Mortal Realm?"

Although the green-clad girl found Lu Jing's request a bit strange, she herself had thought about all sorts of strange revenge methods when she was free, so she didn't suspect too much.

Of course, the main reason was that Lu Jing was asking her for poison, so he couldn't possibly use it for anything good. Therefore, even if Lu Jing lied, the green-clad girl wasn't worried.

She couldn't wait for Lu Jing to have even bigger plans, and it would be best to turn the entire martial world upside down, so that her chance for revenge would come.

But after hearing Lu Jing's question, the green-clad girl still said, "The formula for Falling into the Mortal Realm cannot be changed, at least not with my current strength. Every ingredient in this formula is added just right, and they affect each other to achieve the final effect.

"The senior who wrote this formula was a strange person. Even my father was inferior to his old man's poison skills, let alone me."

Although Lu Jing was a little disappointed with this result, he wasn't too surprised, and he knew that the green-clad girl still had something to say.

Sure enough, after a pause, the green-clad girl continued, "As for poisons that can replace Falling into the Mortal Realm, as far as I know… there aren't any. Falling into the Mortal Realm is a first-grade poison of Wandu Valley, and Wandu Valley only has seven first-grade poison formulas in total, and four of them were destroyed by those righteous people in the great battle five years ago.

"Another one was taken away by my mother to lure away the pursuers for me, so now I only have two first-grade poison formulas in my hand, but the other poison formula has nothing to do with the effect of Falling into the Mortal Realm."

"How could this be!"

Lu Jing's expression turned ugly when he heard this bad news. He murmured, never expecting that the descendant of Wandu Valley, whom he had placed his hopes on, would give him such a cruel answer.

The green-clad girl in the thatched cottage also stopped speaking again after saying the last word.

However, not long after, the courtyard door actually opened again. This time, the green-clad girl walked directly out from behind the door, but she didn't go too far, stopping about two zhang away from Lu Jing.

Looking at the latter's eyes, she said, "Do you really want to deal with that person?"
