Chapter 19: Showing the Fangs
"Forget it, what's it to me."
Lu Chang'an didn't want to mind his own business, the coveted herbs weren't his anyway.
That old man's sickly face was not the face of longevity, at most, he could have stayed up for twenty or thirty years, and then he could have popped up on his grave.
Lu Changan avoided him and dealt with him sparingly.
However, there are some things that can not be avoided just to stay out of the way.
......
A few days later in the morning.
"Who did this!"
Lu Chang'an was meditating in silence when he was awakened by a sudden alarming cry.
"Everyone gather!"
Master Ge Yi Dan's furious voice echoed through the Pill Garden's housing area.
No one in the Pill Garden dares to challenge Ge Yi's majesty.
There are only a handful of people in the garden, including the guards, spirit planters, and mortal servants.
Ge Yi stood in front of a medicinal field, pointing at the messy herbs at his feet.
He was holding a mushroom shaped mutilated herb in his hand.
Looking at the shape on it, it seems to have been chewed by some kind of animal.
"I wanted to come over this morning to pick up some auxiliary herb guides, and then I saw this situation."
Ge Yi's gaze under his puffy eye bubbles carried a sense of grim oppression.
He scanned the crowd and finally landed on Lu Changan's face.
"Lu Chang'an, what were you doing last night, explain the situation here?"
"I was meditating and resting last night. I do not know about what happened here and still need to investigate."
Lu Chang'an said truthfully.
The medicinal field was not a small area, so it was impossible for him to guard it day and night.
But he wasn't on duty last night, and there was a loss in the fields. As the Medicine Garden Resident, he had an unshirkable responsibility. "Hmph! Neglect of duty!"
Ge Yi's Spiritual Pressure of the 7th level of Qi Practicing, the Mu family members present did not dare to utter a single breath.
"Then! You hurry to investigate the results! The old man alchemy waiting for medicinal materials, if there is a mistake, take you to the moon island to see the Mu family ancestor!"
Ge Yi seemed like an exploding powder keg, his voice almost roaring.
"See the old ancestor?"
The Mu Clan cultivators present were dumbfounded.
"Could it be that senior is for......"
"That's right!" Ge Yi proudly said, "Among the pills that the old man is refining, there are two that the old ancestor needs."
Lu Chang'an ignored his intimidation and crouched down, inspecting the medicinal field at his feet.
His brows gradually furrowed.
From the symptoms of the damaged herbs, it seems that they have been destroyed and eaten by some kind of demonic creature, or spirit beast.
It is forbidden to keep spirit beasts in the medicinal garden.
If it was a demon, how did it break into a medicinal garden with formations without alerting anyone?
"Elder Ge, the initial judgment is that it was caused by some sort of rodent-type demonic beast, or artificially controlled spirit beast, sneaking into the medicinal garden."
Lu Chang'an stated his speculation.
"Lu Chang'an, don't use the phrase demonic beasts sneaking in to perfume. This matter, due to your negligence of duty, you can't escape the blame."
Ge Yi snorted coldly, unsatisfied with Lu Chang'an's reply.
Lu Chang'an was silent, as a guard, he could not shirk his responsibility.
Looking for the Mu Clan cultivators under his command to take the blame?
That would only make him more isolated. As a member of a foreign clan, he doesn't have enough authority.
"Not good! Master Ge Dan, Lu Resident, a four hundred year old Blood Ganoderma has gone missing!"
A cry of alarm came.
The person who spoke was the spirit plant husband who was inspecting the medicinal field.
"Four hundred years of Blood Ganoderma!"
The field exploded, this was a great loss.
Four hundred years of Blood Ganoderma is a rare herb, and the entire Mu Clan doesn't have many of them.
Lu Changan's face changed slightly.
When it comes to herbs of this level, things have gotten a little too big.
He looked at Ge Yi in disbelief.
If it was planted, this tactic is too simple and crude.
Of course, simple means doesn't mean useless.
"It seems that this matter is by no means a simple infiltration of spirit beasts, nor can it be explained by a single sentence of 'poor guarding'."
Ge Yi's cold gaze swept over everyone present.
"There must be someone in the medicinal garden who has been stealing from the guards!"
A stone stirred up a thousand layers of waves, the Mu family people shook.
Several members of the clan subconsciously glanced at Lu Chang'an.
After all, Lu Chang'an is a foreign clan member, and before he came, the medicinal garden had been peaceful.
"From now on, everyone is not allowed to leave the Pill Garden, so that the higher echelons of the clan can send someone to investigate."
Ge Yi gave the order.
The Mu family members have no objection to this.
Even without Ge Yi's orders, several Mu Clan members were watching Lu Chang'an in the neighborhood to prevent him from escaping.
Lu Chang'an didn't run.
At this time, whoever ran would be suspected and become a target.
In the end, the crowd elected the old spirit planter of the fifth level of qi refining to go back to the family to report the news.
This old Spirit Planter is a senior member of the Mu family, his life expectancy is about to expire, he has been working hard all his life, everyone trusts him.
In order to clear up the doubts, the old spirit planter openly asked everyone to search his body before he left.
"This matter, very strange......"
Lu Chang'an was deep in thought.
Could it be that just because he was a foreigner and had no backer, Ge Yi planted himself?
Counting the coveted herbs on himself?
Lu Chang'an checked, there was no stolen goods on him. He also went to the wooden house, and there was no stolen goods.
If you planted the evidence, you have to have proof, right?
If the family came to investigate, in Lu Changan body did not find stolen goods or clues...... this matter is suspicious!
The Mu family executives are not fools, will inevitably suspect Ge Yi.
Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that the planting of evidence is a third party, the purpose is to stir up the water, so that the Mu family infighting.
......
This is the first time I've ever seen a woman in the world.
The old spirit planting husband came back.
Along with him, there were also investigators sent by the Mu Family's senior management.
It was a man and a woman. One of them is a gentle and quiet slender figure, it is the first lady of the Mu family--Mu Xiu Yun
The other was a thin man wearing an overcoat with a black dog at his feet.
This person's cultivation is only at the third level of qi cultivation, so he should be a talented person in the clan who is good at solving cases and reasoning.
"Master Ge Dan, my father is out for something, so I will bring someone here to investigate today, and will definitely give everyone a fair result."
Mu Xiu Yun Shi Shi Ran a salute, the voice is gentle and clear.
"No harm! Special period, understandable."
Ge Yi smiled as he stroked his beard, his tone was gentle.
In fact, at this moment, the Mu Family's high-end combat power is being pulled by the mining area.
In fact, the Mu family's high level of combat power is tied up in the mining area.
Mu Xiu Yun's starry eyes turned to Lu Changan, slightly worried, and was about to say something.
"Wang! Wang......"
The black dog behind the skinny big man, barked irritably and tried to run outside the medicine garden one by one.
"Hm? Something's not right!"
Lu Chang'an's nose shrugged, but he only smelled the normal smell of herbs.
"What's going on! My head is so dizzy......"
At this moment, several Mu Clan members with lower cultivation levels had their bodies shaking and brown spots appearing on their faces.
"Eldest Miss, it's not good! Toxic--"
The body of the thin man trembled.
His black canine spirit pet, after running some distance, violently spat out blood and fell to the ground.
"Who poisoned it!"
Mu Xiu Yun's petite body swayed lightly, shouting, scanning the entire field.
However, she realized that the clan members were all shaking and falling to the ground.
Only Ge Yi Danshi was unharmed, revealing a sinister smile.
"Missy actually has anti-poisoning treasures on her?"
Ge Yi's victory coupon is in his hands, glancing at a small scented capsule at Mu Xiu Yun's waist, which has already turned black and is emitting a trace of black smoke.
Puff! Puff!
In addition to Mu Xiu Yun, the presence of the Mu family members, one by one poisoned to the ground.
Those with low level of cultivation vomited blood and died on the spot.
Those with good physique and higher cultivation collapsed or fell unconscious.
"What kind of poison did this old man put in? There is no trace of odor at all."
Lu Chang'an and the black dog realized the abnormality at the same time.
He was just about to use his secret technique to expel the poison and take the antidote pill.
As a result, he realized that the strange toxin had just entered his body, but it quickly dissolved and was swallowed up by a roll of Evergreen Mana.
The Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique actually has an anti-poison effect?
No, it should be transforming the poison.
This is an unexpected blessing.
To avoid becoming Ge Yi's primary target, Lu Chang'an pretended to be paralyzed by poison.
"Traitor! It's you--"
Mu Xiu Yun's face was cold and her silver teeth were clenched.
Shoo!
She used her magic power, and a silver light haze swept out from her sleeve, stabbing at Ge Yi like lightning.
A silver ruler can be seen in the silver haze.
This is a middle-grade magic weapon.
"Hehe, Miss Mu, your scented capsule can't completely protect against the 'Eroded Marrow Scattering'. At the sixth level of Qi Refining, even at your peak state, you are by no means a match for old me."
Ge Yi lightly wrote, his sleeve robe lightly waved.
A layer of green patterned air shield protects Ge Yi.
This is a magic power shield that can only be used by late stage qi cultivators.
"There was a loud bang.
The silver-colored light haze exploded, and the light of the ruler of the middle-grade magic weapon dimmed, with no power to follow it.
It is inconceivable that Mu Xiu Yun's blow with her magic weapon could not even break through Ge Yi's magic power shield.
"Master Ge Dan, what exactly are you trying to do? Why did you betray the Mu Family?"
Mu Xiu Yun stifled a snort as a hint of light brown appeared on her snowy face.
She secretly grunted as the erosion of the toxin caused her to not be able to utilize ten percent of her mana.
"Hey! Originally, I only wanted to kill all the people in the medicinal garden and plunder a batch of precious medicinal herbs. But Mu Maode recently went to the 'Maple Leaf Yellow Family' to negotiate a joint marriage, making you, his daughter, an important piece of leverage."
Ge Yi unhurriedly said, waiting for the toxin in Mu Xiu Yun's body to further flare up.
"Tsk, such a stunning beauty, I really can't bear to destroy the flowers. If the young lady is captured, let the old man captured away, can still save life."
Looking at the elegant and beautiful Mu Xiu Yun, Ge Yi's mouth hooked up a touch of teasing.
Swish! Whew!
The dry palm unfolded, a mass of black threads emerged, expanding violently into a dense black net, expanding to a few feet, rolling up a gray whirlwind directly at Mu Xiu Yun.
