After reading the letter left behind by her two masters, Su Ruoxi refined the coffins as per her masters’ wish. Initially, she wanted to keep the coffins, but she suddenly remembered what her masters once said—nothing in here could be brought out…
Hence, she decided to listen to her masters’ words. After she had refined the coffins, her realm also leveled up successfully. Not only had Little White woken up, but there were also new additions to her realm—a medicine field, a row of simple bamboo houses, a spiritual fruit tree, a white spiritual fountain, and an odd piece of fragment…
Through Little White’s narration, Su Ruoxi realized that her possession of the Black and White Divine Ring was truly impressive. She was not even at one percent of her potential ability…
Su Ruoxi sat down on an empty space in her realm and looked at Little White who was playing happily with her baby not far away. Then, she shifted her line of vision to the items in her hands.
In her left hand was a piece of black and white fragment that was left behind after she had refined the coffins. Su Ruoxi examined the fragment for a long while but was still unable to figure out what it was, so she just casually put it away.
In her right hand was a black and white colored cauldron that was only just about the size of a palm. In the past few years, she had completely absorbed her two masters’ teachings. According to her two masters, she was now worthy of being the only Immortal Poison Doctor on this land. Since her soul came from her past life, she also had a wide horizon of views and knowledge, so her thinking was even more unique than that of her two masters. With the integration of her knowledge from her past life, combined with her two masters’ teachings, Su Ruoxi was well aware that her capability now was not to be underestimated…
However, she had been using her masters’ pill furnace to refine elixirs and poisons these few years. When her two masters disappeared, the items she used seemed to have vanished along with them too.
Looking at the pocket-sized pill furnace in her hands, Su Ruoxi paused for a bit before she bit her finger and dripped a drop of blood into the cauldron…
Soon after, her figure was wrapped in a black and white ray of light…
After a long time, when the ray of light from signing the contract was gone, Su Ruoxi once again looked at the little Black and White Cauldron in her hands. When she thought about it in her heart, the palm-sized cauldron swayed a little before changing its size according to Su Ruoxi’s thoughts.
Not only could it turn into a pill furnace for refining elixirs, but it could also turn into a cauldron for refining artifacts. A hint of smile graced the corner of Su Ruoxi’s lips. She was extremely touched. When she was signing the contract with this Black and White Cauldron, she had felt a very familiar presence belonging to her two masters…
She knew that her masters had prepared this for her since a long time ago, and this pill furnace should be another very powerful artifact. The two masters must have been worried that she could not sign the contract with it successfully, so they helped her refine a part of this artifact before they disappeared…
In both her past and present lives, the two masters were the only ones who treated her well without any reasons and complaints. They were the ones who made her cold and hard assassin’s heart slowly warmed up…
After Su Ruoxi signed the contract with the Black and White Cauldron, the Book of Poison and Medicine—given to her by Little White—as well as the Poison and Medicine Inheritance—given to her by Xia Lingyi and Ling Fengchen—in her mind strangely merged together, and a new cultivation technique called the Divine Art of Medicine and Poison appeared in her mind…
In this set of cultivation techniques, apart from the medical skills and poisoning skills she was familiar with, there were ten other ancient formulas for refining elixirs that her masters had never mentioned to her. In addition, there were also ten other ancient formulas for refining artifacts and twenty other formulas for concocting unique poisons. Most importantly, there was an additional ancient passage of beast-taming mantra and contract mantra—that made Su Ruoxi ecstatic…
Su Ruoxi left her baby in the realm. She came out and sat in the tomb chamber, where she had lived with her masters for the past five years. She sat in a daze for the whole night. Her memories of the past five years with her masters played in her mind like a slideshow. Only when it was about time did she leave the tomb chamber with her baby…
The mother-and-daughter pair looked at the spot in front of them that had turned into a flat ground. The ancient tomb that was once there had vanished. It seemed as if nothing had ever appeared on the flat ground in front of them…
Su Ruoxi bent down to carry her baby and said, “Baby, let’s go! Mother shall bring you to see the outside world!”
“En…” There were still tears in the baby’s pitch-black eyes. She was sad as she knew that she would never see her grandmasters again. Feeling down, she buried her head into Su Ruoxi’s arms, unwilling to say much.
Su Ruoxi knew her daughter was upset. For the past five years, her masters’ fondness for the baby was not any less than hers. In fact, they adored the baby more than she—the birth mother—did.
“Baby, you have to remember that all good things come to an end. In the future, Baby may be separated from Mother, too. Baby just have to remember that no matter when or where, Mother will always love you. So Baby, you have to learn to protect yourself and love yourself, because only then can you better protect the people you love, understand?”
She spoke very slowly, and she knew that her baby could comprehend her words. Her baby was very intelligent from birth. Even her two masters questioned if all children born tens of thousands of years later were so clever…
She only responded with a smile. As the mother, she was naturally very proud that her baby was so clever. Not only was her baby bright and obedient, but she was also exceptionally gifted at cultivation. It was just a pity that her baby did not inherit her invulnerability to poisons but instead had a deadly poison present in her body…
The two masters mentioned that the poison in her baby’s body could have very likely come from her body, but Su Ruoxi was invulnerable to poisons, so that reasoning did not make sense. In the end, her two masters felt that her baby’s poison could have originated from the father instead…
Who was also the antidote she had thrown herself on then… It was very likely that after she had violated him, the poison in the man’s body remained inside of her. She had also become pregnant right after that one time, so the poison must have stayed in her uterus, and then transferred to her baby’s body…
When the two masters mentioned this, Su Ruoxi remained silent, because she was well aware that her masters were only partially correct. Her invulnerability to poisons only came about after she had transmigrated to this world, and that was likely due to her soul! The original owner was not invulnerable to poisons. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have succumbed to the aphrodisiac…
Hence, she could only slowly investigate the origin of her baby’s poison by herself. These few years, she had collected much news about the happenings in the Prince’s mansion. It was time to get even with some people and settle some debts…
“Mother, are we returning to the Prince’s mansion?” Upon hearing Su Ruoxi’s words, her baby wiped her tears away in an instant and asked. As her baby was clever, Su Ruoxi had brought up her baby similar to how the children were brought up in the modern world.
As long as her baby wanted to know, she would always answer her baby honestly no matter what she asked. Even her past life. She had also told her baby about it casually as if it was just a story…
As her masters and her baby were curious about the matter regarding the Prince’s mansion and the original owner’s past, she told them what had happened truthfully. Every time she returned to the ancient tomb, she would also tell them about the happenings in both the Prince’s mansion and the outside world…
“Does Baby want to return?” Su Ruoxi asked with a smile.
“En, Baby wants to protect Mother and avenge Mother. Baby wants those people to see how formidable I am!” Her baby said as her eyes flashed with coldness. Anyone who had once bullied Mother deserved to die…
