Ahead.
An array of Military Marquis Level powerhouses, dressed in the Black Domain's silver-trimmed attire, respectfully blocked Luo Qingtong's path.
Their unwavering posture and unyielding spirit made it clear they were determined to bring Luo Qingtong this time.
"Lord?"
Hearing their words, Luo Qingtong raised an eyebrow, pondering internally.
Netherworld Venerable?
That unparalleled powerhouse from the Black Domain Supreme?
What does he want from me? Is it Alchemy?
Thoughts raced through Luo Qingtong's mind, yet her face remained composed as she nodded subtly.
"Alright, lead the way."
Regardless of what he wanted, it certainly wouldn't be her life.
However, Luo Qingtong did not realize that this matter was more critical than even her own life!
The group arrived at the City Lord Mansion, where Luo Qingtong was greeted by servants and led into a splendid grand hall.
"Please wait here, Lord will arrive shortly."
Luo Qingtong nodded, then began to observe the grand hall.
This seemed to be the usual debate hall for the Suburb City Lord, but now it was being used as a rest and reception area by the Netherworld Venerable.
Luo Qingtong's gaze swept over the main seat on the high platform of the hall, suddenly pausing for a moment.
Through her Pupil Vision, she clearly saw a stack of albums on the table on the high platform.
On the third album at the top, prominently displayed, was a fruit resembling a piece of jade.
The core of the fruit was heart-shaped, the inside was scarlet, while the exterior seemed to be enveloped in a layer of jade-green emerald!
Jade Sky Heart Fruit!
Luo Qingtong's eyes brightened.
This was precisely one of the ingredients needed for the Supreme Medicine and Poison antidote she was searching for!
She had already obtained a Heaven and Earth Dragon Soul Grass!
Now with this Jade Sky Heart Fruit, she would have two Detoxification Herbs in her possession!
If she had the chance to find alternative medicinal ingredients in the future, she might be able to concoct an antidote directly!
Thinking of this, she began to calculate her chances of requesting this Jade Sky Heart Fruit as an antidote if the Netherworld Venerable had indeed summoned her for Alchemy.
While she was pondering, her gaze suddenly caught sight of a medicine recipe underneath that stack of albums.
Could this recipe be the medicine that the Netherworld Venerable wanted her to refine?
Luo Qingtong started to focus intensely on it.
However, the more she looked, the stranger her expression became.
By the end, Luo Qingtong's mouth was twitching, not knowing what to say!
Dammit!
This medicine recipe...
Wasn't this the recipe for Xuanyuan One Heart Liquid that she had refined?!
How could the Netherworld Venerable's desk have her own recipe for Xuanyuan One Heart Liquid, and so detailed at that?!
The necessary ingredients and medicinal properties were all accurately listed!
Even the substitutes she had used in the recipe were all noted down!
How did the Netherworld Venerable know about this?!
Other than herself, probably only that man from Jiuyu Mountain knew these details...
Wait a minute!
Luo Qingtong's body suddenly stiffened.
Netherworld Venerable... the man from Jiuyu Mountain...
The same elusive methods, the same inscrutable mysteries, the same formidable strength!
Holy shit!
Could that man from Jiuyu Mountain be the Netherworld Venerable?!
The thought flashed through Luo Qingtong's mind, causing her to shiver in shock!
"This is bad, this is really bad!"
That man definitely didn't seek her out for anything good!
After she had just irked him so badly before!
Why has he sought her out again?
Could he have suspected her identity again?!
With this thought, the corners of Luo Qingtong's eyes began twitching uncontrollably!
