Chapter 296 Win-Win [Subscription Request]

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Have you really found the key to eliminating the insect plague?"

"Tell me what method is it!"

In the quiet room, Shan Yangzi came to Zhou Mingde and asked three questions in one step, looking at him excitedly and asking questions repeatedly.

When Zhou Mingde saw his excitement, he realized that the contribution of this donation of medicine might be much greater than he imagined.

The prerequisite is that Shan Yangzi is really willing to share the credit with him!

At that moment, he was shocked and nodded to Shan Yangzi with a confident look on his face, saying: "Yes, everything I said is true, there is absolutely no falsehood!"

After saying that, he took out the prescription.

"Oh, this is the formula for the poison that kills the Thousand Changes Cricket? Does that mean that the monster insect is actually a mutant of the Thousand Changes Cricket?"

When Shan Yangzi took the prescription and looked at it, his expression changed and he immediately understood the meaning of Zhou Mingde's prescription.

After hearing his words, Zhou Mingde immediately complimented him, saying, "Senior, you are wise. After my own experiments, I have proven that this prescription has a very strong ability to kill large numbers of monster insects. Even if it is not the Thousand Change Locust, it must have a very deep blood relationship with the Thousand Change Locust!"

As he spoke, he told the other party about the relevant experiments he had conducted and handed over some test data to the other party.

Upon seeing this, Shan Yangzi immediately took the test data he had handed in and started to look at it.

After reading the details recorded there, Shan Yangzi put down the information, looked at him with a sharp gaze and asked: "Then where did you get the formula for this poison? How do you know that this medicine will work on that demon insect?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingde was well prepared and immediately replied respectfully: "Senior, please understand. This poison formula of mine was obtained from the tomb of an ancient cultivator. That ancient cultivator happened to be a beast-controlling and insect-repelling senior, and this prescription happened to be recorded in the classics he collected!"

"The reason why I know this medicine is effective against the demon insect is that after coming to Yang Country, I and the younger generations of my family have been trying to develop poison to kill insects, and have already tried all the poison formulas recorded in the family."

Hearing his answer, Shan Yangzi became curious and immediately asked him for details.

Zhou Mingde did not hide anything and immediately told how he discovered the battle between Shen Borong and Ruan Hongzhuang while he was looking for a way to restrain the evil insects.

He then truthfully recounted the process of exploring the underground tomb.

However, he lightly skipped over the fact that he had attacked Shen Borong preemptively due to speculation, and changed it to a story where Shen Borong was careless for a moment and was attacked by the green-faced zombie at close range, and they had no time to rescue him, so he died at the hands of the green-faced zombie.

The later falling out with Ruan Hongzhuang was also said to be caused by differences over the division of harvest.

With Shan Yangzi's life experience, he could certainly hear something wrong.

But he had no intention of digging into the matter.

It is only too normal for immortal cultivators to team up to explore ancient caves and tombs, and then turn against each other over the distribution of interests.

As long as the deaths have nothing to do with Shan Yangzi and Qinglian Temple, he won't care who is right or wrong!
He only cared about the origin of the poison formula Zhou Mingde offered, and the inheritance of the ancient insect repellent technique Zhou Mingde mentioned.

Therefore, after Zhou Mingde finished speaking, he nodded slightly and said, "I understand. Show me the insect repellent techniques you have obtained."

"Junior, I obey."

Zhou Mingde responded and immediately took out the prepared books.

However, when he took out all the books, Shan Yangzi was no longer in a hurry to read them.

His eyes moved, and he suddenly asked, "Did you only get these books in the underground mausoleum? Didn't you get anything else?"

This sudden question made Zhou Mingde's heart skip a beat and he felt a little nervous.

He moved his fingers slightly, his mind turning, and soon he cupped his hands and said, "I dare not deceive you, senior. I did get a few magic tools and a magic treasure, as well as some strange insect eggs left by that senior."

Having said this, he immediately continued, "But I asked the younger generations in the family to send those things back to the family first, and I didn't take them with me!"

Have the younger generations sent all the things back to the family?
Shan Yangzi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zhou Mingde calmly without saying a word.

How could he not understand the meaning of Zhou Mingde's words?

Saying these words was nothing more than a reminder or a warning to him.

But these were actually within his expectations.

If he were honestly thinking, if he and Zhou Mingde were in different positions, he would definitely have kept such a backup plan for himself.

People who are foolish enough to not keep any backup plans will never go far in the world of cultivating immortals.

After learning the information he wanted, Shanyangzi did not ask Zhou Mingde any more questions about the underground mausoleum, but just took the books and started to look through them one by one.

He read like this for a while, and when he had finished reading all the books, he nodded to Zhou Mingde who had been standing beside him and said, "Yes, from what we can see from these books, the owner of the tomb that Fellow Daoist Zhou is exploring is indeed a master who is proficient in the art of expelling insects."

Having said this, he went on to talk about his own plan: "I will personally test the prescription that Daoist Fellow Zhou gave me as soon as possible. If the effect is as good as Daoist Fellow said, I will report it to the other real masters, and they will decide how to implement it on a large scale!"

"During this period, Brother Zhou, you will stay here and assist me in the experiment!"

This treatment was similar to what Zhou Mingde had expected.

He immediately responded respectfully: "Yes, I obey your command."

In the following days, Shan Yangzi personally mobilized his connections to collect materials, and soon collected all the relevant materials.

At this time, Zhou Mingde also assisted him in quickly making the poison, and tested it on the captured monster insects.

The result of the experiment was naturally similar to the experiment Zhou Mingde had conducted before. After the poison was diluted with water in a certain proportion, even if it was catalyzed by magic to form water mist that fell on the monster insect, it could still cause great harm to the monster insect.

Most importantly, the materials used to make the poison are not particularly precious, nor are they particularly difficult to find.

If all human countries work together to collect relevant materials, they will definitely be able to collect a large amount of materials within half a year and produce a large amount of finished poisons.

However, to be on the safe side, Shan Yangzi conducted more experiments.

He personally captured a third-order demon insect and fed it the poison, and found that the poison had a significant killing effect even on a third-order demon insect, causing it to suffer from poisoning symptoms and greatly reducing its strength.

At the same time, after his own experiments on the battlefield, he proved that the water mist attack had a great killing effect on the insect swarm. After many experiments confirmed its effectiveness, Shan Yangzi was overjoyed and soon went to meet a Yuanying Zhenren in person to report the poison formula he had found to eliminate the insect plague.

Yes, according to Shanyangzi, Zhou Mingde and the Zhou family had become vassals of Qinglian Temple, and this time when they came to Yang State, they were to obey its command and dispatch in everything.

Even Zhou Mingde's trip to Yang State to find a way to control the evil insects became his special order.

In this way, although Zhou Mingde was still the one who discovered the formula, the real credit undoubtedly went to Shan Yangzi.

Regarding this point, he explained it to Zhou Mingde without any hesitation before leaving, and got Zhou Mingde's consent.

After all, discovering the key poison to eliminate insect plagues is a great achievement.

If such a great credit really all fell on Zhou Mingde and the Zhou family, it might not be a good thing.

If the Zhou family is really rewarded with something good at that time, they may not be able to keep it based on their strength.

Moreover, given the power and strength of Zhou Mingde and the Zhou family, they would not be rewarded with too many good things.

But it’s different if it’s Shanyangzi and Qinglian Temple.

Shanyangzi is a Jindan-stage cultivator, and Qinglian Temple is one of the three major forces in Jingguo.

The key poison for eliminating insect plagues was discovered by Qinglian Temple, which made a great contribution to the process of eliminating insect plagues.

After the insect plague is eradicated, the major forces that survived in the two countries of Yang and Rong would definitely be grateful for this great favor and give huge rewards.

That reward is definitely much greater than the reward that should have been given to the Zhou family.

By then, Qinglian Temple, which has received great rewards, will definitely not forget the Zhou family’s contribution.

This is a win-win situation.

Just as Shan Yangzi did not delve into Zhou Mingde's experience in the underground tomb, the Yuanying Zhenren he faced did not delve into whether he had an actual subordinate relationship with Zhou Mingde.

In the eyes of Yuanying Zhenren, since it was Shan Yangzi who offered the poison formula on behalf of Qinglian Temple, the credit would naturally fall on Qinglian Temple.

So just like what Shanyangzi did to Zhou Mingde at that time, the Yuanying Zhenren also used the materials provided by Shanyangzi to personally make the poison and conduct relevant experiments.

The result was naturally no problem, the effectiveness of the poison completely stood the test.

This made the Nascent Soul cultivator very satisfied. He nodded and praised Shan Yangzi, saying, "Very good. Daoist Fellow Ding, I will remember your contribution in offering the medicine this time. If this poison can really eliminate the insect plague, Daoist Fellow and Qinglian Temple will be credited with the first merit!"

"Thank you, senior!"

Shanyangzi looked overjoyed and bowed quickly to express his gratitude.

Soon, the poison formula spread in the Yuanying Zhenren circle, and then the countries close to Yang State, such as Rong State, Dayun State, Qi State, etc., began to collect related materials on a large scale.

Even countries like Jingguo and Fengguo received the news soon, and the three major sects also began to collect relevant materials in the country.

By this time, Shan Yangzi had already returned to his garrison and conveyed the good news to Zhou Mingde who was waiting there.

"In short, this is the situation. Brother Master and I will never forget Brother Daoist Zhou's contribution. After returning to the country, Brother Master will personally summon Brother Daoist and reward you and the Zhou family generously!"

In the quiet room, Shan Yangzi looked at Zhou Mingde with a calm face, slowly explained the situation, and finally painted a pie in the sky for Zhou Mingde.

Zhou Mingde seemed to have anticipated this situation.

At that moment, he also responded respectfully without changing his expression: "Senior, you are too polite. These are what the junior should do."

"Next, all the True Men should be collecting relevant materials to make poison. In order to achieve success in one fell swoop, I am afraid that the poison will not be exposed before a sufficient amount of poison is actually produced."

“So I’m afraid that I and others will have to continue to clear out the rampant insect swarms until all the masters officially launch the insect eradication operation.”

Shan Yangzi said this, then he stared at Zhou Mingde and said, "So in order to live up to what I said and did in front of Senior Feng Lan, Brother Zhou will also join me in the task of clearing the insect swarm!"

Zhou Mingde's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Shan Yangzi to make this request.

"This……"

He looked at Shan Yangzi and hesitated for a while, wanting to say that this was different from what he had said at the beginning.

But looking at Shan Yangzi's expression, it seemed that he would not allow himself to refuse.

In the end, he could only sigh softly and said, "Since the senior has given this order, I naturally dare not refuse!"

After that, he continued in a low voice: "It's just that I didn't explain the situation clearly before I came here in order to keep it secret. I hope you can give me a few days off so that I can go back and inform the juniors who stayed in Dayun Country, so that they don't worry about me!"

Upon hearing this, Shan Yangzi's expression slightly eased, and he immediately nodded and said, "That's fine, then I'll give you three days off."

"Thank you for your understanding, senior."

Zhou Mingde thanked him and immediately set off to return to Dayun Kingdom.

After he spent another day returning to the market town of Dayun Kingdom, he did not go to the agreed place to meet Zhou Chun, but only told Zhou Jiapeng and others who were unaware of the situation that he was going to Rong Kingdom to clean up the evil insects, and asked them to wait for his return in the market town.

But in fact, his safe return is already a signal.

Zhou Chun himself was hiding in a wilderness somewhere on his way back to the market town. His figure riding on the Fire God Jackal had already been discovered by Zhou Chun.

After confirming that Zhou Mingde had successfully completed the task of offering medicine, there was no need for Zhou Chun to stay in the wilderness any longer. He immediately changed his appearance and returned to the market.

Five days later, Zhou Chun, who had been secretly observing for a long time, took advantage of Zhou Jiapeng's opportunity to inquire about the news and had a telepathic conversation with him. He learned from him that Zhou Mingde went to Rongguo to clean up the insect plague.

With Zhou Chun's wisdom, he naturally quickly understood Shan Yangzi's intention.

Just for safety reasons, he did not go to meet up with Zhou Jiapeng and others. Instead, he went to the wilderness outside and directly opened up a temporary cave.

It turned out that he planned to study the books on insect repellent that Zhou Mingde had given him in this wilderness, and try to see if he could hatch the evil insects in the jade box.

As for these things, Zhou Mingde made it clear when he handed them to him that he could study and use them as he pleased.
