Chapter 364 - Chips

Chapter 364: Chips

“If the poison isn’t detoxified, he’ll still be dead three days later,” Audrey snorted coldly and said unhappily.

Upon hearing the words ‘three days’, everyone immediately became nervous.

“Three days? Valley Master only has three days?”

“What should we do? Without the Valley Master, Herb King Valley will be finished.”

…

In the face of the discussions of the disciples, Elder Yuan appeared even more impatient. He berated sternly, “Enough. Don’t listen to an outsider’s alarmist words. Valley Master will definitely be fine.”

“What does Elder Yuan have to prove that the Valley Master will be fine? Do you have the antidote, or are you just putting on a show by saying that he’s fine?” Audrey’s lips curled into a disdainful smile. She did not give Elder Yuan any room to retaliate.

Although she did not know the purpose of the other party’s various obstructions, such obstructions had already provoked Audrey.

Elder Yuan was instantly speechless.

Seeing this, the other Elders fell into deep thought for a moment before speaking up one after another.

“Why don’t we give it a try? Maybe we can turn the situation around.”

“I think we should wait for the Sky Demon Herb to mature and try again. If something goes wrong, the Sky Demon Herb might still be able to save its life.” The other Elder’s suggestion was immediately echoed by everyone.

“When will the Sky Demon Herb mature?” Audrey asked.

Moka looked at Audrey with a complicated expression and said, “The day after tomorrow.”

“There’s still time.” Audrey’s lips curled into a frivolous smile. Then, her gaze fell on the table at the side with a pen and paper on it.

She walked forward quickly and wrote down the names of some herbs on the paper before handing it over to Moka.

“It just so happens that I can prepare these herbs in the next two days. I’ll use them when the time comes. I’ll come and save the Valley Master once the Sky Demon Herb matures.”

Audrey said seriously, “If I can successfully save the Valley Master, the Sky Demon Herb will be mine. Sounds fair?”

Upon hearing this, Moka frowned slightly as he looked at Audrey, as though he had long thought of this condition.

“What do you want the Sky Demon Herb for?”

“It’s not convenient to tell you. Just give it to me. I guarantee that the Valley Master’s life will not be in any danger,” Audrey replied coldly.

Moka thought for a moment and was about to agree when Elder Yuan said, “The Sky Demon Herb is rare. It only comes once every ten years. She asked for it the moment she opened her mouth. She must be desperate for it. Don’t be deceived by her. She can’t save the Valley Master at all.”

“If I can save the Valley Master, the Sky Demon Herb will naturally be mine. If I can’t save the Valley Master, I won’t take the Sky Demon Herb. Elder, there’s no need to worry,” Audrey retorted bluntly.

Elder Yuan’s face instantly turned stiff, and his eyes flashed with anger and unwillingness.

“Then it’s a deal. Miss Audrey, go back and prepare well. I hope you can do as you say.” Seeing this, Moka spoke up in time and settled the matter.

Audrey nodded and left. She returned to the house where she lived. Klein and the others were waiting inside.

“Where did you go? Why did you take so long to come back?”

Klein immediately came forward and asked anxiously, “Did anything happen?”

“I went to the Valley Master’s room. The Valley Master wasn’t sick. He’s been poisoned,” Audrey explained concisely.

“Poisoned?” Hearing this, the three of them immediately looked surprised. “He’s the Valley Master of the Herb King Valley. How could he be poisoned? Who poisoned him?”

“I’m not sure.” Audrey shook her head, a complicated look flashing across her eyes.

Thinking of Elder Yuan, who had tried so hard to stop her today, Audrey felt a headache coming on. She also felt slightly uneasy, as if something was going to happen.

“Alright, then what else happened?” Hobart nodded and asked with concern.

Following that, Audrey told the three of them everything that had happened in the Valley Master’s room. The three of them also helped to analyze the matter between Elder Yuan and the Valley Master.

“Could it be that he was the one who poisoned the Valley Master? That’s why he tried so hard to stop you from saving the Valley Master,” Adrian said thoughtfully. Living in the five great clans, he had seen this kind of scheming since he was young.

Audrey nodded. It was possible.

But why did Elder Yuan want to harm the Valley Master?

“If you were Elder Yuan, what would you do now?” Audrey frowned and asked nervously.

“To stop you from saving the Valley Master,” the three answered in unison, “he’s going to destroy the Sky Demon Herb!”

Sky Demon Herb?

Audrey immediately reacted and her expression changed.

She had come for the Sky Demon Herb. If she did not have the Sky Demon Herb, she might not save the Valley Master. Even if she chose to continue saving the Valley Master, without the Sky Demon Herb, she would not be able to save the Valley Master if she failed.

Thinking of this, the Sky Demon Herb was really dangerous.

“I’m going out for a while,” Audrey said before leaving in a hurry. She walked toward Moka’s room and directly pushed open the door, giving Moka a fright.

“Miss Audrey, why are you here?” Moka asked in puzzlement.

“The Sky Demon Herb is in danger. Bring me to see the Sky Demon Herb,” Audrey said in a serious tone.

Moka was even more puzzled. He frowned slightly, his head filled with confusion.

He instinctively felt that Audrey was overthinking things, so he comforted her. “Don’t worry. The Sky Demon Herb grows in the Herb King Valley’s secret realm. Ordinary people can’t enter, so it’s not dangerous.”

“What if it’s not an ordinary person?” Audrey stared at Moka tightly. Her tone was still very stern, revealing a nervous aura.

“Miss Audrey, what exactly are you trying to say?”

“Elder Yuan. His relationship with the Valley Master shouldn’t be too good, right?” Audrey snorted softly and asked tentatively. There was a hint of certainty in her eyes.
