Chapter 307 "The Search for the Secret Treasure Amidst the Tumultuous Journey of the Martial Wo
The mysterious person gave them three chances to answer the question.
One of my companions just gave a wrong answer because he spoke too quickly.
After the first incorrect answer, the mysterious man remained expressionless and spoke coldly.
"You have two more chances. If you answer incorrectly again, you will have to stay here."
The crowd's faces turned grim, and condemning glances were cast at the person who had answered the question.
The companion, who was being watched by everyone, looked full of regret.
He lowered his head and spoke in a voice trembling with tears.
"I...I was too anxious, I blurted it out in a moment of impulse, I really didn't mean to..."
Others couldn't help but complain.
"How could you be so impulsive at such a crucial moment! This is a matter of whether we can clear the game or not!"
"Forget it, there's no use in blaming them now," the man in the blue robe advised.
Liu Tianliu was secretly delighted, feeling that the time had come.
He winked at his two companions, and the three of them pretended to stroll around, quietly making their way to a corner.
Liu Tianliu cautiously looked around, and only after confirming that no one was paying attention did he carefully take out the yellowed note from his pocket.
His two companions immediately gathered around, and the three of them huddled together, nervously deciphering the poem on the note.
“Look, could the phrase ‘Hidden spiritual roots deep in the azure sea’ be hinting that the third herb is related to the sea?”
Liu Tianliu lowered his voice and tapped the poem lines lightly with his finger.
One of his companions frowned, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.
"That's possible, but which kind of sea herb could it be?"
The three continued to whisper among themselves, racking their brains to find clues in the poem.
Meanwhile, Song Qianyi stood calmly in place, though she already had the answer in her heart.
It must be said that she had indeed seen relevant records.
At the time, she had read a lot of materials in order to research life-saving drugs.
A legendary tale records the recipe for this miraculous medicine that can bring the dead back to life and heal flesh and bones.
The third herb is clearly mentioned as "Cold Pool Red Fruit".
But she didn't intend to give an answer right away.
She had just noticed the movements of Liu Tianliu and his group; she hadn't forgotten their bet.
She never holds grudges; she settles them on the spot.
Liu Tianliu and his gang have come to bully her right at her doorstep, so she can't just let it go unpunished.
She still wanted to see Liu Tianliu and the others kowtow and admit their mistakes.
Song Qianyi was making her own plans, but on the surface she remained calm and collected, while also keeping an eye on Liu Tianliu's movements from time to time.
Seeing Song Qianyi so calm, Shi Yu and the others felt their anxious hearts calm down.
In their eyes, Song Qianyi was a big shot, and judging from her expression, she must already know the answer.
Liu Tianliu and his companions whispered among themselves in the corner for a long time before finally raising their heads, their faces showing expressions of self-assurance.
Liu Tianliu straightened his clothes, swaggered back to the crowd, and deliberately raised his voice as he looked at them still discussing.
"Hmph, I think you should stop daydreaming. We still have to rely on you."
Then, he glanced at Song Qianyi sideways, his eyes full of smugness.
"Song Qianyi, weren't you so capable? Now you know how difficult this question is."
"I advise you to obediently admit defeat later, kowtow to us and apologize. Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I can help you clear the game together."
Song Qianyi frowned, feigning anxiety.
"Liu Tianliu, do you really know the answer? Don't talk nonsense, there are only two chances left."
Liu Tianliu gave a disdainful sneer.
"Of course I know, unlike some people who just pretend."
As he spoke, he took out the yellow slip of paper from before and waved it in front of everyone, continuing to speak arrogantly.
“We found crucial clues from this note, unlike you guys who just worry about it.”
He deliberately dragged out his words, enjoying the stares from the crowd.
"The answer is 'Deep Sea Ambergris'. How about that? Now you should be convinced, right?" After saying that, he looked at Song Qianyi provocatively.
Then, he glanced at the mysterious man again, as if he was certain that his answer was correct.
The mysterious man remained expressionless and coldly uttered two words.
"mistake."
