Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

However, it is not easy to win over Zhu Xianchou; Zhu Xianchou must see the true value of Li Yue.

Zhu Xianchou's face was more complicated than ever before. He finally sighed deeply and said:

"Zhu has repeatedly tried to kill Brother Li, yet Brother Li still believes Zhu is trustworthy..."

He wasn't stupid; he naturally understood that his life and death were now entirely in Li Lan's hands. Li Lan's best course of action was to kill him to silence him and eliminate any future trouble.

But Li Lan told him all of this instead.

He also sensed something: respect!

He seemed to have made a great decision, and finally looked at Li Lan, saying solemnly, "Brother Li, you take the King and Queen of Annam away to take refuge for now. Li Guan is already on his way. I will deal with him."

This single sentence has already made our stance clear!

The roles of friend and foe have changed.

"No,"

Li Lan shook his head, "If that's the case, Brother Zhu will be suspected by Li Guan, which is not appropriate."

"You go first, I'll handle things here."

Zhu Xianchou's expression was slightly complicated. He was a smart man and naturally knew that what he should do now was to continue to lie low by Li Guan's side. Therefore, it was not advisable to expose himself at this juncture. So he stood up, bowed to Li Lan, and said, "Brother Li, take care!"

After saying that, he turned to leave, but then suddenly said, "Brother Li, I don't know how you cured the Nine Medicines Breaking Yuan Powder, but this medicine is used in the Immortal Realm. You forcibly cured it several times, so there must have been some losses. This is the Zhu family's alchemy technique. You might as well take a look at it. It may be of some benefit to you."

He looked quite guilty and said, "Neither the Nine-Medicine Breaking Yuan Powder nor the Rejuvenating Heartbreak Powder that the Queen was tainted with can be refined into antidotes in this Abyss Realm... I, Zhu, have committed a sin, yet I have caused Brother Li to suffer. I am sorry!"

After saying that, he took out a yellowed old book from his pocket and handed it to Li Lan, saying, "After you finish reading this book, Brother Li, please burn it."

After saying that, he pushed open the door and left, stepping into the starry night, his figure disappearing without a trace.

Inside the study, Li Lan looked at the book in his hand, on which were written four large characters: "True Explanation of Elixirs".

Li Lan's heart stirred.

This book was kept close to Zhu Xianchou's body. It was a family heirloom of the Zhu family, originating from the immortal realm, and was extremely rare. Yet, Zhu Xianchou gave it directly to Li Lan.

This clearly shows that in his heart, he has truly regarded Li Lan as a "fellow Daoist"!

He glanced through it and found that the methods of alchemy and medicine making were truly unprecedented for Li Lan, including all the methods for making immortal pills and spiritual medicines.

Priceless treasure!

Li Lan glanced at it and realized that the Nine Medicines Breaking Yuan Powder, which was feared by martial artists, was actually just a poisonous pill produced when the "Nine Spirits Pill" of the Immortal Realm failed to be refined!

The "Rejuvenating Heartbreak Powder" that Zhu Xianchou mentioned earlier is an extremely potent aphrodisiac that is effective even for low-level cultivators, and is extremely difficult for mortals to resist!

Zhu Xianchou gave her this poison clearly to make her unable to resist, so that Li Guan could take all her vital essence!

If one is poisoned by this, one must engage in sexual intercourse; otherwise, one will surely die from a broken intestine!

Li Lan frowned.

He put the books away, thought for a moment, pushed open the door and went out, first finding Yue Ran!

"Young master... I can't move."

Yue Ran was also poisoned. Upon seeing Li Lan, she hurriedly spoke.

Li Lan said, "No rush."

So the spiritual energy was slowly transmitted.

In order to improve his cultivation level, Li Lan had only a little spiritual energy left. Fortunately, when he left the capital, Lin Ruobing gave him two Azure Cloud Fruits, which were able to replenish his spiritual energy and neutralize the toxins.

This time, however, Zhu Xianchou learned from his previous experience on Qiudao Mountain, so he greatly increased the dosage of poison, making the detoxification process very costly.

But he did not hate Zhu Xianchou because of this. Before tonight, the two were still mortal enemies, so how could he not go all out?

The spiritual energy was transferred, and Yue Ran's inner energy began to circulate. She regained her strength and couldn't help but be extremely excited: "Young Master... you can cure the poison of the Nine Medicines Breaking Yuan Powder? You are really amazing!"

"Someone is coming to the Prince's mansion. You must take action and defeat them."

Li Lan smiled slightly and told Yue Ran about his plan.
