POISONED GIRL
CHAPTERS 197. Opal stone
***Dining place at the border of Shang Ri La City***
Yang Ruo Li was surprised by the appearance of the foreign man sitting opposite him and stared intently at him.
The young girl looked around and saw that there were still plenty of empty seats there.
Yang Ruo Li had a hunch that the man was sitting before him because there was a hidden intent. The young girl returned a sharp look and carefully observed the man.
The aura emitted by the man was extremely cold. His face was indeed handsome, but it was covered with a cold demeanor so that Yang Ruo Li could guess the man before him had a stiff and serious nature. It was almost the same as Li Zhe Liang.
There was one clear difference between that man and Li Zhe Liang. Although Li Zhe Liang had a cold and stiff attitude and was famous for his expressionless face, but Li Zhe Liang's gaze towards Yang Ruo Li was always gentle and warm to the young girl's heart.
While the gaze of the man before him was not any gentleness at all, it made Yang Ruo even more wary.
"You're their plot?" yang Ruo Li asked in a flat voice.
Yang Ruo Li guessed it was most likely that this foreign man knew Tang Song's entourage so he approached her now.
The man furrowed his brows and seemed to be thinking hard, as if he did not understand what Yang Ruo Li said.
Yang Ruo Li pointed towards the fierce fight between Tang Song's entourage and the warrior Noble Fu Chen, not far from the feeding grounds.
"No!" answer the man briefly.
"It turns out I misunderstood. What's the matter, sir, looking for me?" yang Ruo Li asked politely.
Yang Ruo Li poured the tea into the new cup and sprinkled the concoction poison quickly without being seen by anyone, then pushed the cup before the man.
Yang Ruo Li could guess the cultivation level of the man before him was extremely high and it was not yet known for certain whether that man was an enemy or a friend that Yang Ruo Li decided to poison him first.
If indeed this man did not have any evil intentions then Yang Ruo Li would give him an antidote.
The mysterious man lowered his head and stared at the teacup that Yang Ruo Li had given him. A faint smile appeared on the corner of the man's lips.
A while later the mysterious man raised his head and looked at Yang Ruo Li's face again.
"Great! Can enter the poison without me realizing it," praised the man in a flat voice.
From the very beginning the man sat before Yang Ruo Li, he had already carefully observed Yang Ruo Li in the form of the thirty-year-old man and had absolutely no idea how Yang Ruo Li could put poison into the teacup.
"Master. I don't understand what you're saying." Yang Ruo Li was pretending to be stupid and would not admit it for sure the man was just guessing.
Yang Ruo Li's poison skills had gotten higher and he could poison anyone easily, including poisoning Tang Ying earlier.
The man advanced his right hand towards Yang Ruo Li and the young girl swiftly distanced her body backwards.
Yang Ruo Li breathed a sigh of relief because the man did not intend to touch him but rather put something from the grasp of his right hand on the table, right before Yang Ruo Li.
"Opal stone," Yang Ruo Li's heart said, after recognizing the object the man had placed.
Opal stones have advantages among other gemstones because of the color play caused by their very unique optical properties.
Inside the opal stone can be seen the beauty of mirah pomegranate, emerald, topas, amethyst, and all the brilliant colors of other gemstones.
Opal is often referred to as the queen of gems and its main efficacy is that it can detect toxins.
If the opal is near a toxic object, it will emit a red color. The more red and dark the color can be sure the poison is more dangerous.
The man was sure that Yang Ruo Li recognized the opal stone and definitely knew the usefulness of the stone so as to take his opal stone from the table and put it next to the cup containing tea from Yang Ruo Li earlier.
In a split second the opal stone turned blood red so the man stared towards Yang Ruo Li while pointing at the teacup.
"Ha ha ha! Just misunderstanding, Sir. I'm a rookie alchemist. Maybe accidentally dropped the poison powder on the cup," yang Rup Li said with a big smile and took the poison tea cup from the face of the mysterious man quickly and threw the tea to the ground.
"Is this guy crazy? I poisoned him and he gave me this amazing opal gift?" said Yang Ruo Li's heart.
When he first saw this opal stone, Yang Ruo Li was indeed very interested and liked it. The first thing that flashed through his mind was to use heavenly fire to turn this opal stone into a ring for Li Zhe Liang.
Despite Yang Ruo Li's knowledge, Li Zhe Liang was immune to poison. However, the opal ring could help Li Zhe Liang detect the poison around him quickly.
"alright. Thank you Master," Yang Ruo Li replied without hesitation and picked up the opal stone.
"I need your alchemist skills. The opal is the payoff" said the man.
Yang Ruo Li was stunned with his mouth wide open unconsciously. It was only fitting that the man gave the opal stone for free and it turned out to be due to his poison skills.
"Ruo Li, you are so naive. How could anything be free in this world," Yang Ruo Li grumbled in his heart.
"What poison do you want?" asked Yang Ruo Li.
"Soul-tracking poison pill. If someone were to be exposed to the poison, I could find him wherever he was. However, the poison did not damage his pill soul," the man explained about the poison he wanted.
Yang Ruo Li was silent for a moment thinking about the man's request. The poison desired by the man was not an evil poison and did not endanger the lives of others.
Yang Ruo Li did not want his concoction poison to be used for evil so the young girl decided she would make a pill soul-tracking poison. Of course also because the payment is opal stone.
"I'll try to make it. This poison is a bit complicated so it takes time to make it," Yang Ruo Li said.
"How many days?" ask the man.
"One day," Yang Rup Li replied confidently.
The existence of the space dimension of the lotus ring made Yang Ruo Li able to concoct the poison quickly.
"Do you need rare plant materials? I can provide it," said the man.
"I'll use my rare plant material. If it's less, I'll find you. How will I contact you later and what is your name?" asked Yang Ruo Li.
The man took out a single piece of jade slab and placed it before Yang Ruo Li.
"There are my spiritual senses inside this jade slab. You just need to mention my name while holding this jade slab, I will look for you. My name is Lan Xi" said the man.
"The way it works is almost the same as Zhe Liang's crystal bracelet," Yang Ruo Li's heart said.
Yang Ruo Li pulled his sleeves slightly so as to clearly see the gift crystal bracelet from Li Zhe Liang.
A wide smile adorned Yang Ruo Li's lips as he recalled Li Zhe Liang's words, which would catch up to him as quickly as possible with the crystal bracelet's hint.
During these two days Yang Ruo Li had indeed deliberately worn a long-sleeved men's outfit so that the gift crystal bracelet from Li Zhe Liang did not attract the attention of others to seize it.
"Where did you get that bracelet?" lan Xi asked with a serious facial expression, when she saw clearly the crystal bracelet that coiled around Yang Ruo Li's wrist.
