late at night

The banquet at the three princess mansions is gradually coming to an end!

Wei Hong finally found the opportunity to chat with Grandma Yao in private. He raised his wine glass and came forward to toast, smiling: "I heard that my senior goes to the mountains to collect herbs all the year round and is also a person who is proficient in pharmacology. I wonder if there are any herbs on hand that I would like to sell? "

"Oh?" Granny Yao became interested.

Her cloudy eyes were shrewd, and she glanced at him up and down before revealing a charming smile: "Your Excellency, you are also a doctor?"

"No!" Wei Hong dispelled the other party's hostility with one sentence and chuckled: "I'm a poison master!"

"poison?"

Granny Yao's face froze and she subconsciously held her breath.

The smile on his face was dull for a moment and then immediately became a little more enthusiastic.

If Wei Hong was a pharmacist, she would still be worried about someone taking his business, but if he was a poison master, there wouldn't be such a problem. Being friends with him would only have advantages and no disadvantages. At least this kind of person should never be offended.

"I didn't expect Master Zhang to be poisonous!" Granny Yao said tentatively: "When I go into the mountains to collect medicine, I will encounter a lot of poisonous weeds. I wonder which kind do you want?"

"Any poisonous weeds, poisons, or poisonous insects above the visceral refining level will do!" Wei Hong said calmly: "Not even poisonous weeds will do. Many warming and tonic medicines will have miraculous effects when added to poisonous powder. I can buy them all at a high price."

"oh?"

After hearing this, Granny Yao became even more interested!

Most people would avoid poisonous weeds in the Zang Refining Realm when they see them, but he dared to purchase and refine them. This shows that this person's poison knowledge is probably not low, and I don't know which family he inherited it from?

However, it is a taboo in the world to randomly ask people to learn from others!

Granny Yao naturally doesn't talk too much as she is an old woman. She just nodded and said, "We'll talk to you at my house later!"

"good!"

Wei Hong immediately nodded and agreed!

After the banquet was over, the two of them quietly left the Three Princesses' Mansion, got on the carriage and left one after the other.

Grandma Yao's house is in an inconspicuous yard in the south of the city!

There is no one in this yard, only some ordinary-looking herbs are planted, but if you look carefully, you will find that there are many high-quality poisonous weeds hidden here!

Once someone steps here, they will easily be poisoned and die!

Maybe this was just a temporary place for Grandma Yao to stay, maybe there was nothing worth stealing at home, but she didn't care at all about bringing a stranger back.

"sit!"

Granny Yao tremblingly lit the kerosene lamp.

Fumbling about, I wanted to pour tea for Wei Hong.

"No need to bother!" Wei Hong raised his hand to stop him: "I'm sorry for bothering you late at night. I might as well take it out and have a look at what good stuff my mother-in-law has in her hands. If it's suitable, I won't be stingy with the bid!"

"Okay, okay!"

Granny Yao turned around and went to the backyard to get something!

Soon seven or eight potted flowers, three brocade boxes, and a porcelain vase were placed in front of them.

"Desolate winter grass, ecstasy horse chestnut..."

"Colorful mantis eggs?"

"Thunder Marked Black Spider Poison?"

Wei Hong was so surprised that he inspected every poisonous weed and flower as if he had found a treasure.

The plants grown in these pots are all of the highest quality, and each plant can threaten the life of a strong person in the Zang Refining Realm. Once paired together, it can increase the toxicity of the Ten Thousand Poison Palms dramatically.

In addition, there are some poisonous insect eggs and poisonous tree fruits in the brocade box!

As for the porcelain bottle, there are two or three taels of venom from black thunder-marked spiders. They are existences that even the late stage of Zang Refining Realm must avoid. They are difficult to find except in deep mountains and swamps, and a drop of their venom is worth thousands of gold.

"I didn't expect that senior would have such a collection, it's amazing!" Wei Hong couldn't help but sigh: "Even if these venoms are not prepared, they are still rare and good things. If they are put on the black market, they will be robbed like crazy!"

"No!" Granny Yao shook her head and said: "The venom of the Thunder Stripe Black Spider is smelly and dark. It is not easy to poison it silently without preparation. Ordinary people cannot prepare it, so it is rare to meet someone who knows how to do it. ”

"I want all of these!" Wei Hong pondered for a moment and made a direct quote: "The 30-year-old winter grass is in average condition, so it counts as 13,000 taels! The Ecstasy Aesculus, which is 20 years old and in good condition, counts as 18,000 taels... Lei The market price of one tael of Black Spider Venom is 12,000, so I’ll give you 3 taels!”

Some calculations!

The final total price was as high as 140,000 taels!

If Wei Hong hadn't changed his former self and spent such a large sum of money just to buy some poisonous weeds to practice martial arts, he would never have dared to be so extravagant.

"Senior, what do you think of 140,000 taels?" Wei Hong asked.

"Okay!" Granny Yao was obviously very satisfied with the price. She coughed lightly and said, "It's hard to carry so many things. You can take them away in the carriage outside the door."

"Thank you!"

Wei Hong nodded and took out a thick stack of banknotes to pay!

140,000 taels is not a small amount even for a strong person in the Zang Refining Realm, but for him now, it is not too much money.

After the money and goods are settled!

Wei Hong directly loaded the pots of poisonous weeds onto the carriage and prepared to take them home overnight. However, when he was about to drive away, he saw a pattern drawn with charcoal under the wall of Granny Yao's door!

This pattern looks like a child’s graffiti!

No one who sees it will take a second look!

However, Wei Hong recognized it at a glance as the special mark of Wandu Sect. He had learned from Jiang Yuankui that anyone with such a mark was the secret contact point of Wandu Sect.

"Hey?"

Wei Hong was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing.

What a coincidence, Granny Yao is actually from the Wan Du Sect? No wonder she has so many poisonous weeds in her hands!

But why did she hide in the capital of the gods under an assumed name? And why did she show up as a doctor to make money? At her age, it seems that making so much money is useless, right?

"Strange, really strange!" Wei Hong couldn't help but wonder: "At her age, her blood and qi have gradually declined, and there is no possibility of breaking through to the innate realm. Even if she wants to practice, she can refine the five internal organs pill. The secular gold and silver are of little use to her."

"But whether she is selling pills at the banquet or selling poisonous herbs here, she has shown a great desire for money. What's going on?"

These questions are obviously unreasonable.

Unless, she works hard to make money just to work for the Wandu Sect.

In this way, everything can be explained. Although the Wandu Sect has a single-handed control in the southern border, it is naturally not easy to support a bunch of disciples. Wandu's refining of poisons is a money-burning thing. It is not uncommon to send people to collect money and act as spies.

"Interesting!" Wei Hong smiled and drove away directly.

Regardless of whether Granny Yao is from the Wan Du Men or not, or what mission she has in the capital, he is not suitable to say anything.

However, considering the help Jiang Yuankui and the Wan Du Men have given him!

He still has to pay more attention to this place in the future. If Granny Yao has some trouble, he would be embarrassed if he doesn't help her.

"The Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly affairs!"

Wei Hong's long sigh gradually disappeared at the corner of the street!
