Chapter 1857 - 1852: Barter
Following the direction of Xiaobei’s finger, they saw that deep black liquid and could smell its utterly foul odor!
"Master, what is this? Why does it smell so strange?"
As they quickly responded, they didn’t hesitate to step back a few steps.
At this moment, their faces were filled with seriousness because the pungent smell was just too unbearable.
They were getting headaches from the stench...
Seeing their serious expressions, Xiaobei calmly explained, "This is a poison, I need you to handle it for me."
"Handle it? How are we supposed to do that?"
Seeing their troubled look, Xiaobei laughed and said, "For us, this is a very terrifying poison, so we wouldn’t want to touch it at all. But for animals that are inherently poisonous, it’s an absolute treasure, so you can imagine what to do with it, right? If you handle it well, you can certainly gain a lot of benefits."
"Benefits?"
Their eyes lit up...
Seeing them intrigued, Xiaobei nodded gently and continued to pursue them, "Yes, lots of benefits! But first, you need to find the right partners for a trade. Only by finding the right trade partners can you maximize its value."
"Right!"
They nodded excitedly and exclaimed, "Master, how do we find them?"
"Exactly! We don’t have any leads!"
Seeing them looking at him excitedly, Xiaobei spoke casually, "It’s not difficult, you gently stir it to let its scent spread, and you’ll attract many poisonous animals because for them this scent is completely irresistible."
"Master, is there another way?"
They hesitated for a moment, muttering softly.
They really disliked the smell and were unwilling to approach and stir it.
Because they knew that once stirred, the nauseating scent would spread even more...
Glancing at their hesitant faces, Xiaobei spoke plainly, "There’s only this one way!"
After speaking, Xiaobei saw their disappointed expressions.
Smiling lightly, Xiaobei uttered calmly, "I know you don’t like the smell!"
After speaking, Xiaobei quickly flicked out three silver needles...
As the silver needles pierced them, Xiaobei calmly said, "For the next few hours, you will temporarily lose your sense of smell, so you don’t have to worry anymore."
"We don’t!"
They shook their heads quickly!
Previously, they were worried, but now, their worries were completely dismissed.
Seeing them shaking their heads, Xiaobei turned to leave...
...
After Xiaobei left, they quickly huddled closer.
Looking at the deep black liquid, they sniffed hard.
"Indeed, we can’t smell it anymore, it seems Master wasn’t lying to us!"
"Exactly!"
Excitedly exchanging glances, they began to discuss how to proceed.
Soon, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit spoke, "When the time comes, you all step aside, I’ll handle everything!"
After glancing at the Treasure-hunting Rabbit, they hesitated slightly, "If we step aside, can you handle it?"
"Indeed!"
Knowing they were worried, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit wasn’t angry but gently explained its plan, "Negotiation first, force later! I will negotiate the price with them first. If they agree, you don’t need to come out. But if they’re unwilling and plan to take it by force, then you can show up and teach them a lesson."
"That’s a good idea!"
They thought for a moment and nodded excitedly...
Seeing them agree with the plan, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit waved its hand, saying, "Hide away now! I’m about to start!"
"Alright!"
After responding once more, they turned and left.
Seeing them disappear, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit smiled, picked up a wooden stick, and began to stir gently.
"Come, come, everyone come!"
Watching the deep black liquid begin to move, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit excitedly looked into the distance.
...
"Looks like they’ve started indeed!"
Returning to the door, Xiaobei caught the familiar scent and murmured softly...
After the murmur, Xiaobei didn’t dwell on it and quickly entered the room, closing the door with a swing.
Xiaobei knew they were all very smart, so they could definitely handle the situation...
"How’s your leg? Is it regaining feeling?"
Seeing them looking towards him, Xiaobei chuckled and asked.
"Yes, it’s recovering. Although not completely, I can stand now! But to be fully recovered, it’ll take some time."
"It’s good that it’s recovering!"
Smiling lightly, Xiaobei continued walking forward.
As Yao Ling saw Xiaobei coming closer, she quickly stood up and made space by the bedside.
Smiling lightly, Xiaobei sat down casually.
Thanks to previous interactions, Xiaobei’s relationship with Cao Lingbing had improved significantly, so he sat down boldly without hesitation.
Xiaobei was comfortable, but Cao Lingbing wasn’t, so when Xiaobei sat next to her, her mind went blank.
After settling down, Xiaobei was about to speak when he met her vacant eyes.
At that moment, Xiaobei realized she was nervous again.
"No need to be nervous!"
Gently reassuring her, Xiaobei reached out and held her pale wrist.
Seeing Xiaobei start to feel her pulse, she tried to calm herself as much as possible.
Yao Ling, who initially planned to grab a chair and sit, stopped her actions.
Because she worried about disrupting Xiaobei.
...
"The slight toxins throughout your body have disappeared, but the poison in the Dantian hasn’t decreased at all!"
After feeling the pulse, Xiaobei quickly learned her latest situation.
Xiaobei wasn’t surprised by the unchanged poison in the Dantian because this treatment was intended to test, so Xiaobei hadn’t planned to act on it just yet.
Divide and conquer!
This was a method Xiaobei had thought of long ago...
So he wasn’t rushing to act on it, but was gradually eliminating the scattered toxins from her body.
This reduction could weaken its power and gradually restore Cao Lingbing’s physical health.
Only when her body fully recovers could Xiaobei truly increase the dosage and launch a full assault.
"Brother Xiaobei, how is it?"
Seeing Xiaobei maintaining a stoic expression, Yao Ling asked anxiously...
Upon hearing Yao Ling’s words, Xiaobei came back to his senses...
Seeing the nervous Yao Ling and equally nervous Cao Lingbing, Xiaobei laughed, "You don’t need to worry, the issue isn’t severe anymore, the first treatment has worked!"
