A Thousand Faces of Grace

Chapter 337 Death Wood 3
But before she could say something comforting, Elder Shang Ling continued.

Xiao Muli suddenly smiled, that's right, she is crazy, some pains don't need comfort from others, some wounds don't need to be healed either.

"The death of these people is horrific. They are all skinny and bled. At the beginning, no one knew the reason for the death of these people, but the matter was too weird. I don't know who first reported it, saying that these people received it. The curse of the god of death, this Linxu wood is the habitat of the god of death, and the power of the god of death is attached to it. Those who tried to use the tree to make paper offended the god of death, were punished by the god of death, and cursed to death. Over time, this rumor spread. Linxu wood is called "the wood of death", and people no longer dare to cut Linxu wood, even if they are close to them, they are not willing. The Linxu wood was also able to recuperate, and by now, it has grown into a towering tree."

"It wasn't until later that Lan Xizi passed by here one day that he found out about it. At that time, Lan Xizi heard about it and didn't believe that it was the god of death, so he checked and tested everywhere. It took several days before he found out. The truth of the matter, it turns out that Linxu wood is not a "death wood", but a kind of chronic poison contained in the tree. This kind of poison will not endanger human life under normal circumstances, and it will only be released when it encounters high temperature. But when making paper, fire is used, Linxu wood is exposed to high temperature, and the toxin is released, and the person who refines it is very poisonous, and finally dies from the poison."

"So that's the case. Now that the matter has been clarified, is there no one who will continue to think about Linxu wood?" Xiao Muli asked with some puzzlement. Paper of this kind of texture is not common. I have never seen this kind of paper, so there are only a handful of people who use Linxu wood to make paper.

"It's profitable. Naturally, someone will come up with an idea. However, this poison is very strange. Many detoxification masters have studied it for a long time, but no one can solve it. Considering the safety of life, I can only give up."

Elder Shang Ling sighed.

"Could it be that even Lan Xizi can't cure this poison?" Xiao Muli was surprised.

"No, Lanxizi is knowledgeable. Since he has recognized the poison, he can cure it. However, although he can cure it, he thinks that the Linxu wood grows very hard. Once the method of detoxification is announced to the world, it will cause everyone to go crazy. The felling has led to the extinction of the beard tree, and every creature has the right to survive, and he has no right to deprive it."

"That is to say, Lan Xizi didn't tell anyone the detoxification method, so the only one who can use this Linxu wood to make paper is Lan Xizi, or someone from the secret realm of Lan Xie?" Xiao Mu was overjoyed, Asked, if this is the case, the Lan Xie secret realm is likely to be not far from that forest.

"That's right. Every year, some Linxu paper made of Linxu wood is circulated from Lanxie's secret realm, but the quantity is pitifully small. Once it comes out, it will cause the rich people to snap up it, and often sell it at an unexpected high price. Come on. Come to think of it, Lanxizi doesn’t make this kind of paper much, probably because it is for Linxu wood to survive.” Elder Shang Ling sighed and said highly of Lanxizi in his tone.

Xiao Muli curled his lips, how could that monster be so kind, he must have his own reasons for doing so.
