The Thousand Poison Workshop's Predicament

"What is this?" Just as she was delighted to see these poisonous creatures, a snow-white flower that appeared in a corner in the distance instantly attracted Xiao Yi Xian's attention, causing her to exclaim in surprise.

Hearing the surprised and doubtful expression from Xiao Yi Xian, Lin Ming also looked at Xiao Yi Xian.

As the eye could see, Xiao Yi Xian had come to a corner and focused all her attention there.

"Xiao Yi Xian, what have you found?" Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's excited appearance, Lin Ming asked as he walked towards her.

"Lin Ming, there are actually Snow Condensation Flower here!" Upon seeing the snow-white flowers in front of her, Xiao Yi Xian immediately replied to Lin Ming's words.

"Snow Condensation Flower!" Lin Ming exclaimed upon hearing Xiao Yi Xian's words.

As Alchemist, Lin Ming had a thorough understanding of medicinal herbs, so much so that he knew about the Snow Condensation Flower that Xiao Yi Xian had mentioned.

Snow Condensation Flower itself does not contain any medicinal properties. What surprised Xiao Yi Xian so much was that although Snow Condensation Flower does not contain any medicinal properties, it can amplify the medicinal properties of many medicinal herbs that do contain medicinal properties.

Of course, the amplification effect of the Snow Condensation Flower depends on the medicinal material. For high-grade medicinal materials, the amplification function is negligible. However, at this stage, Xiao Yi Xian can easily amplify the toxicity of the poisons she can use by several times or even ten times with this Snow Condensation Flower. Therefore, Lin Ming could understand the surprise and delight Xiao Yi Xian showed after seeing the Snow Condensation Flower.

"Miss Miao Miao, how are these items traded? Is it with Gold Coin or something else?" Since these items would be useful to Xiao Yi Xian, Lin Ming didn't hesitate to tell Miao Miao what it would cost to buy them.

Upon hearing Lin Ming's question, Miao Miao did not answer immediately, but instead looked intently at Lin Ming.

"What's wrong, Miss Miao Miao? Did I say something wrong?" Seeing Miao Miao staring at him intently for a long time without looking away, Lin Ming spoke up.

After Lin Ming finished speaking, Miao Miao raised her head as if she had made up her mind, met Lin Ming's gaze, and then spoke.

"Young Master Lin, these items are all free for you."

"Miss Miao Miao, I cannot accept a reward without merit, so please name your price!" Lin Ming replied immediately after Miao Miao finished speaking.

Xiao Yi Xian looked at these items; their value was considerable. And now Miao Miao said she could just give them to her directly.

If it were an ordinary person, they would be overjoyed to receive such resources for no reason. But Lin Ming is different.

Although these items were quite valuable, Lin Ming could afford them.

It's fair to say that in this Northwest Continent, there aren't many things 6th Grade Alchemist like him can't afford. Didn't you see in the original story that even 6th Grade alchemist like Han Feng could summon a combined attack that would allow him to fight against the Golden Silver Elders of the Dou Zong? Those were people who could reach the Dou Zong level.

When faced with something he could afford, Lin Ming preferred transparent transactions. That way, the money and goods were exchanged, and there were no other favors involved. But if he really accepted the supplies from Miao Miao, he would owe her a Miao Miao. If Miao Miao needed his help later, would he help her or not?

The Chu Yun Empire and the Jia Ma Empire are enemy countries, so it's not a problem if Lin Ming takes Miao Miao's supplies and doesn't help Miao Miao later. They can't do anything to him anyway. However, Lin Ming will feel a little guilty about it later.

For Lin Ming, if he truly accepted someone's kindness, it was equivalent to acknowledging that person as a friend, and therefore he would have to help them if they needed anything.

But this is the Chu Yun Empire. Although Lin Ming said he wasn't afraid, there was no need for him to cause trouble right away.

Miao Miao herself is Dou King Expert, so it's conceivable that anything she finds troublesome and unsolvable must be at least as strong as herself.

Lin Ming wasn't afraid of such beings, but there was really no need for him to wade into this mess just for such a small amount of supplies.

Hearing Lin Ming's words, Miao Miao felt a little disappointed, but not too surprised. After all, anyone who could reach this level of cultivation was wealthy, so she knew it was impossible to make someone owe her a Miao Miao with just these few resources.

Since Miao Miao said she could give away these supplies for free, everyone knew she had something to ask of Lin Ming. Therefore, Lin Ming's refusal clearly wouldn't make Miao Miao give up. So, not long after Lin Ming finished speaking, Miao Miao's voice rang out again. "Young Master Lin, didn't you just ask me how I knew Ren Fei Yun was about to enter the Dou Emperor realm? Would you still be interested in hearing my explanation?"

"Ren Fei Yun told me this personally when he came here more than half a year ago. As for his purpose in telling me, it was to form a marriage alliance with my Thousand Poison Workshop. As for the marriage partner, I presume Young Master Lin already knows, it's himself and me." Before Lin Ming could respond, Miao Miao had already revealed how she knew that Ren Fei Yun had broken through to the Dou Wang realm.

Upon hearing Miao Miao's words, Lin Ming knew perfectly Miao Miao that she wanted him to help resolve the matter of the Poison Cloud Sect. To be honest, Lin Ming wasn't afraid of the Poison Cloud Sect, but Lin Ming felt it was unnecessary. Therefore, after Miao Miao finished speaking, Lin Ming spoke up.

"Miss Miao Miao, if you don't want to marry Ren Fei Yun, you can simply leave. But if you can't bear to part with the Thousand Poison Workshop, you can find a powerful backer. In this Chu Yun Empire, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect is much stronger than the Poison Cloud Sect."

With Miao Miao's strength as a Dou Wang, if she didn't want to marry Ren Fei Yun, she could simply leave. She could find a place to stay anywhere in the Northwest Continent.

"Young Master Lin, how could I not have considered these things you mentioned? Although leaving would be the most appropriate course of action, this Thousand Poison Workshop is the only thing my parents left Miao Miao. It has taken so many years to build it to this scale, so I will never give it up unless absolutely necessary." As Lin Ming finished speaking, Miao Miao spoke with a sadness in her expression, but even more so with a resolute tone.

After those words fell, a realistic yet helpless tone came from Miao Miao's mouth again. "As for what you said about Young Master Lin about joining the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, isn't that just another Poison Cloud Sect? At that time, the Thousand Poison Workshop's fate will probably not be much better."
