Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

Once outside Lu Ling's residence, Huan Yue had transformed into a little husky, her bright black eyes fixed on Lu Ling Xi Yao's face as she asked in confusion.

"Master, why are you so kind to that old man?"

Lu Lingxi picked it up, stroked its soft fur, and said softly, "Because he is my grandfather."

Huan Yue licked Lu Lingxi Yao's face, "Master's grandfather? From now on, the wolf will definitely help Master protect grandfather."

At this moment, however, she was filled with worry. When she was diagnosing her grandfather, she discovered that he had a rare, chronic poison lurking in his body. This poison was initially silent and quietly seeped into his blood vessels. Over time, it eroded his bone marrow like ice, exhausting his life force. If it weren't for today's fortuitous encounter, she probably wouldn't have been able to detect its presence.

The potency of this poison is not the result of a single day's work; it has been brewing for at least ten years. Even without a sneak attack, one day in the future, one might still succumb to this poison...

Who on earth could be so meticulous and willing to go to such lengths to push Grandpa into an abyss of no return?

However... one thing is certain: the person who poisoned the body and the person who attacked it are not the same person. The person who poisoned the body would not risk their life to launch a sneak attack. So, who was the person who attacked it?

Previously, she had given her grandfather a quick-acting pill, which could temporarily alleviate his condition. To clear the toxins that had been lurking in his spiritual veins for many years, she needed a marrow-cleansing pill. She still had quite a few in her space, but just now at Lu Ling's residence, there were too many people around, and it was inconvenient to take out such long-lost pills. She would have to find another time.

Currently, there is still a major problem: to restore Grandpa's severed spiritual veins, another type of elixir is needed—the Spirit Restoration Pill.

The medicinal materials needed to refine this elixir are all rare treasures, and are not easy to obtain.

Although the Kunlun Ring has expanded considerably due to her continuous breakthroughs, and the number of medicinal herbs has also increased significantly, after her inspection, she currently only has Dragon Beard Grass, Vitality Fruit, and Life Flower. She is still missing Demon Blood Vine and Snow Jade Ginseng, which is truly troubling for her.

So, after returning to the inn, she restored herself to her original appearance, dressed up slightly, and went to Shengyuan Auction House again.

"Manager Li, do you have any of these rare medicinal herbs, Demon Blood Vine and Snow Jade Ginseng, here?"

Upon hearing this, Manager Li's eyes flashed with surprise, followed by deep helplessness.

“Young Master, this has truly stumped me. Demon Blood Vine, that is an extremely rare item. Not to mention our Guiyun City, even in the bustling Yanjing City, it is a rarity. As for Snow Jade Ginseng…”

He changed the subject, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, "It's quite a coincidence, someone just consigned a plant for sale a couple of days ago. It's of excellent quality. Since you need it urgently, I'll go and get it for you right away."

Without hesitation, Manager Li turned and headed toward the warehouse. A short while later, he returned with an exquisite jade box in his hand. Inside the box lay a crystal-clear plant that exuded a faint chill. Although its shape was somewhat similar to a white radish, the spirituality and extraordinary qualities it emanated from within were incomparable to any ordinary object.

"Young master, this is the Snow Jade Ginseng." Manager Li carefully handed the jade box to her, his eyes full of sincerity. "As for the price, there's no need for us to discuss it further. Consider this a small return gift from me, as you have been a frequent patron of Shengyuan's business."

Lu Lingxi took the jade box, her fingertips gently stroking its cold surface. An indescribable gratitude welled up in her heart. She smiled slightly and took out a jade bottle from her sleeve, handing it to Manager Li.

"I will always remember your kindness. This jade bottle contains a Marrow Cleansing Pill, which will surely be of help to you."

Manager Li took the jade bottle. As the bottle was fully opened, a warm-colored, lustrous pill lay quietly at the bottom, with faint spiritual energy swirling around it, unlike any ordinary object. His eyes were filled with uncontrollable shock and ecstasy.

"This is actually the legendary Grade 5 Supreme Marrow Cleansing Pill!..."

Manager Li muttered to himself, his voice trembling slightly, as if even he himself could not believe what he was seeing.

This elixir is a sacred object coveted by countless cultivators. It can help people cleanse their marrow and bones, open up the meridians throughout the body, reshape their bones and physique, and make the path of cultivation unobstructed.

Manager Li was naturally familiar with the legends surrounding this elixir. It was said that the formula had long been lost, and even in ancient books and fragments, it was only mentioned briefly and vaguely.

Not to mention that the elixir itself has long been a legendary existence. Even if rumors occasionally circulate, they are nothing but empty words, and no one can verify their authenticity.

However, at this moment, the Marrow Cleansing Pill, radiating a faint spiritual light, was right before his eyes, within reach.

An indescribable sense of gratitude welled up in his heart. For a long time, he seemed to be bound by invisible shackles, walking alone on the path of cultivation. His absorption of spiritual energy was slow and hopeless, and he no longer held any illusions about breaking through.

Having obtained this elixir has greatly benefited his advancement.

Moreover, this Marrow Cleansing Pill is an invaluable treasure that is priceless throughout the entire Holy Spirit Continent. Its value is immeasurable. Now, he obtained it because of a Snow Jade Ginseng. How could he not be excited?

Lu Lingxiyao's lips curled into a gentle smile as she gazed tenderly at Manager Li and continued, "Manager Li, do you know where the Demon Blood Vine is obtained? I urgently need it, and I hope you will be so kind as to enlighten me."

Upon hearing this, Manager Li gently closed the bottle cap, held the jade bottle tightly in his hand, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.

"It is said that it grows in the dark and deep crevices of the Phantom Forest, a forbidden area shrouded in miasma formed by the condensation of death energy over ten thousand years. It is a place where the sun never shines and the wind blows incessantly. Even spiritual cultivators or martial cultivators with high cultivation levels dare not venture there easily. The Demon Blood Vine survives for ten thousand years in such a harsh environment, feeding on the most yin energy between heaven and earth."

At this point, a hint of worry appeared in Manager Li's eyes. He sighed softly and earnestly reminded him, "Young master, the depths of the Phantom Forest are fraught with danger, and you are not a dark-elemental spiritual cultivator. You may find it difficult to resist the evil energy there. I know you must have your reasons, but safety comes first. I hope you will think twice before you act."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi's eyes showed even greater determination, and she nodded slightly.

"Thank you for the reminder. I will keep it in mind. But this matter is of utmost importance to me. Even if it is fraught with difficulties, I must give it a try."

After saying her goodbye, Lu Lingxi left Shengyuan Auction House. Manager Li watched her departing figure and prayed in his heart that the young man could bring back the Demon Blood Vine he needed and return safely.
