Chapter 939 Extremely Poisonous
Fan Jiannan and Wu Changqing returned to the Tianji Pavilion with the poisonous toad stone.

Feng Yuan was taken aback when he saw the stone they brought back, "Did you find the stone?"

"That's right." Fan Jiannan looked at the stone in his hand and frowned slightly, "But I really can't see what the stone does. Old witch, why don't you explain it?"

Wu Changqing shook his head and said, "This thing is an ominous thing, and it is a strange poison in the world. Don't think that holding it in your hand is not harmful at all, but in fact, there are already countless people who died on this stone. You Look here." Wu Changqing pointed to an obvious scratch on the stone, "This is someone who once scraped off the stone skin and took the stone powder from it. That's why this kind of mark is left."

"Oh, but this trace looks very old." Fan Jiannan frowned.

"Of course, because the ancients used this kind of stone powder as poison." Wu Changqing said slowly, "Poison toad stone is extremely poisonous. In ancient times when medicine was not yet developed, it was a kind of absolute poison. Once you take it, you will definitely die. And this Seed poison is also the best material for cultivating the golden silkworm Gu king, or it is a must for the birth of the golden silkworm Gu king."

"So that's the case, but I always feel that keeping such things is a disaster." Feng Yuan frowned. "Why not destroy it?"

"Because it can't be destroyed." Wu Changqing shook his head and said, "This thing is a terrible poison for ordinary people, but it is a rare holy medicine for witchcraft. That Lin Rui bought this stone as emerald, but in fact In fact, the value of this poisonous toad stone is far higher than that of emerald."

"So exaggerated?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"Of course. Have you ever heard of poison?" Wu Changqing looked at him and asked.

"Poison poison, I have heard of it. It is said that the poison is soaked in the feathers of the poisonous bird. It is said to be extremely poisonous. Ancient emperors used poisonous wine when they died." Feng Yuan said in surprise. "Is there really such a bird?"

"Of course not. Most of the legends about the poisonous birds are false." Wu Changqing looked at them and said, "The real origin of the poisonous toad comes from this poisonous toad stone."

"Oh? I've never heard of it." Fan Jiannan said in surprise. "Is there any relationship between the poisonous bird and this stone?"

"You are half right. There has never been such an animal as a poisonous bird, but poisonous poison exists. In ancient times, an expert once found a poisonous toad stone. Of course it was not as big as the one in our hands, but A very small piece." Wu Changqing said slowly, "After the poisonous toad stone has been carved and polished, its color and luster are not inferior to the top-grade jadeite. At that time, this person used that piece of poisonous toad stone to make a piece Jade pendant, because this piece of jade pendant is carved to look like a bird, so it is called Zhen Pei. And because of the strong toxicity of this jade pendant, any wine soaked with this jade pendant will become poisonous wine. The legend of Zhen bird It came from this. Later generations even fabricated such a highly poisonous bird in a decent way. Later, many poisonous wines were called poisonous wine."

"So that's how it is." Fan Jiannan smiled wryly, "I didn't expect this thing to have so many origins."

"But since the toxicity is so strong, will there be any harm if it is placed here?" Feng Yuan was a little worried, "It won't produce any toxins, right?"

Wu Changqing shook his head and said, "That's not true. This thing is very strange. It will form a layer of regolith on the surface, thereby preventing the release of all toxins. If you want to get the poison, you must cut the surface of the stone skin. There is no such thing as now. What harm. Otherwise, it would not have flowed into Hong Kong without causing casualties. It is also fortunate that the thief who stole this stone was not greedy for profit. How many people will suffer."

"But I still feel a little scared," Feng Yuan shook his head and said, "Didn't you say you were going to hand over this stone to the Yishu Council for safekeeping last time? Why did you suddenly take it back?"

Wu Changqing shrugged and said, "I have to ask Jiannan about it. He insisted on bringing this stone back."

Feng Yuan turned to Fan Jiannan strangely, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What's the matter?"

"I will hand this stone over to the Council of Yishu, but I want to test the reaction of the first director first." Fan Jiannan said slowly.

"Exploring?" Feng Yuan frowned.

Fan Jiannan turned to Wu Changqing and said, "Old witch, we don't know much about Gu art. You should be an expert in this field. Why don't you tell me, if Li Xixian didn't have this poisonous toad stone and only had the golden silkworm Gu mother, would it be possible for him to do so?" Breed the Golden Silkworm Gu King?"

Wu Changqing frowned and muttered, "If you're lucky, maybe it will come out. But it may not be the Gu King level, at most it's just the Golden Silkworm Gu. Even if it's the Golden Silkworm Gu, the chance of successful cultivation is only a few percent. The success rate of Gu insect cultivation is very low, but if there is a poisonous toad stone, the probability will increase to nearly 15.00%. That's why Li Xixian is so eager to get this poisonous toad stone."

"Even if it's a few percent chance, it's okay. At worst, if he tries a few more times, maybe he will hit luck?" Feng Yuan frowned, "If that's the case, why does he still need the Poison Toad Stone?"

"Miss Feng, I think you have misunderstood. Gu insects are not more fertile than other insects. In fact, the fecundity of Gu insects is very low, and the cycle is very long. Sometimes it takes several years to breed a pair of adults. If you try a little bit according to what you said, I'm afraid he may not be able to cultivate golden silkworm Gu until he dies. Li Xixian is an expert in Gu art, so he naturally understands this truth, so he only wants to get the poisonous toad stone." Wu Changqing explained .

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "Okay, let's analyze it now. Li Xixian has the Luoshu tortoise shell that the first director urgently needs in his hand, and Mrs. Li of the council has the golden silkworm Gu mother. Now the first director suddenly mentioned a poison The toad stone was handed over to their council for safekeeping, does this mean something?"

"What does that mean?" Wu Changqing frowned.

"It's very simple. This shows that their deal is very likely to be successful." Fan Jiannan said slowly, "Look, the golden silkworm Gu mother and the poisonous toad stone are the two conditions for cultivating the golden silkworm Gu king. The first If the director has grasped the poisonous toad stone, then he is very likely to let Madam Li give the golden silkworm Gu mother to Li Xixian with confidence, because he still has one of the conditions that the other party needs. On the contrary? He will hesitate .Because the Yishu Council will never want to see someone cultivate a golden silkworm Gu king."

"Why?" Wu Changqing frowned.

"Old witch, you don't deal with them, so you don't know much about the Council of Yishu. They will never allow any force to threaten their existence, let alone such a heaven-defying thing as the Golden Silkworm Gu King. So he must Firmly control the most critical part. Either the Poison Toad Stone, or the Golden Silkworm Gu Mother." Fan Jiannan explained, "Now Li Xixian appears, he is the heir of the Li family, and he wants the Golden Silkworm Gu back from his aunt What's more, he still has the Luoshu tortoise shell that the first director is eager to get. So the first director wants to keep the poisonous toad stone, and then give the golden silkworm Gu mother to Li Xixian as a favor .”

"Is there such a possibility?" Wu Changqing frowned.

"But this is not good news for your Wu family." Fan Jiannan looked at Wu Changqing and said, "Because as you said, after Li Xixian got the golden silkworm Gu mother, even if he couldn't breed a Gu king, he could breed a golden silkworm. Silkworm Gu is still not a big problem. In other words, your Wu family will repeat the history of decades ago."

Wu Changqing's complexion changed. Although he did not personally experience that period, he had heard about it from his parents.Back then, both the Wu family and the Li family had suffered heavy losses in the dispute over witchcraft.What caused the most casualties to the Wu family was the use of the Li family's golden silkworm Gu.Only the golden silkworm Gu can make the witch family who has stood in the art world for thousands of years change their expressions.

He sighed, "Indeed. Maybe this is fate. The Wu family and the Li family will collide again after all."

"But this kind of collision is meaningless." Fan Jiannan looked at Wu Changqing and said.

"Then what do you want to do?" Wu Changqing looked at Fan Jiannan and said.

"Make the first director aware of the danger." Fan Jiannan said slowly.

Wu Changqing frowned and said, "You mean to make him feel dangerous?"

"Yes, it made him worry about the consequences of Li Xixian getting the Golden Silkworm Gu Mother." Fan Jiannan said slowly.

"But how can we make him feel worried?" Wu Changqing frowned.

Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "Sometimes, there is more than one way to solve a problem. And I seem to have heard you say that there is not only one poisonous toad stone in this world. If the first director realizes, even if he has the poisonous toad Shi also can't control Li Xixian. It makes him feel that Li Xixian has a way to get another poisonous toad stone from other channels. At this time, he will realize that the poisonous toad stone in his hand is not enough to control everything. For the second A director with a strong desire to control, he absolutely cannot bear the pre-planned development beyond his calculations. At this time, he will reconsider whether to give the Golden Silkworm Gu Mother to Li Xixian."

"It makes sense." Wu Changqing pondered, "Let's go to the first director now and tell him the seriousness of the matter."

"Old Witch, you are wrong again. We must not do this. Although the first director is shrewd and can even be said to be too shrewd, this person is self-willed because of this. He will never listen to other people's suggestions. , and will even deliberately play against us in order to prove that he is right." Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "Believe me, I have dealt with him more than once, and I know his temper very well."

"However, if we don't tell him, how can we make him understand this?" Wu Changqing frowned.

"So, that's why I left this poisonous toad stone." Fan Jiannan said with a smile, "As soon as Po Jun returns, the first director will know that the poisonous toad stone is with us, and he will definitely lose his temper. . Ask to talk to us. When the time comes, you can just look at me."
