Chapter 1240: Chapter 1239: Trading Goods for a Life

Faced with their accusations, Yang Chenxi’s lips curled into a cold smile.

She let them curse at her without retorting or getting angry.

Once they had cursed enough and tired themselves out, Yang Chenxi slowly said, "You truly have such great decorum!"

"Shut up!" The Sixth Elder rebuked angrily, "Damn brat! We shouldn’t have saved you back then, throwing you into the sea to feed the fish would have been best!"

"The Yun family’s life-saving grace, I’ve always kept in mind! All these years, I’ve been devoted to the Yun family, which should count as repaying your life-saving favor! However, if you claim you erased my memory, brainwashed me, and made me a slave of your Yun family, I must disagree! Don’t put on airs before me of having raised me since childhood! I’m very clear about who I am, what I’ve done for you! The contribution I’ve made to the Yun family! Now, I’ve come here for the antidote and formula for Soul Returning Powder, either give it to me, or prepare to collect the corpse of Second Young Master Yun!" Yang Chenxi said coldly.

"You! If you dare harm a hair on Yun Er, I’ll skin you and break your bones! Throw you into a beggar den for thousands to ride and thousands to use as a pillow!" The Sixth Elder stomped and cursed in rage!

Meng Po, hearing this, her eyes flashed a cold light, stepped forward, and slapped Second Young Master Yun twice!

Slap! Slap!

Second Young Master Yun was dumbfounded, crying out in pain, grimacing in agony.

"What are you doing!" Everyone shouted angrily.

Meng Po turned around, glaring at everyone coldly, "Didn’t you say you’d skin us and break our bones? Come on! Let’s see if you can throw us into a beggar den, or if I castrate your precious Second Young Master first, then stuff things into his mouth to swallow!"

Upon hearing this, Second Young Master Yun turned pale with fear, instinctively clamping his legs shut.

Yun Haotian and several elders’ faces turned pale, unable to speak, afraid Meng Po would act impulsively.

Meng Po snorted coldly.

In her eyes, these people were nothing but cowards bluffing strength.

Meng Po drew out a dagger, twirled it skillfully in her hand, finally pointing its tip at Second Young Master Yun’s nose, "Now, should we continue our previous conversation?"

Yun Haotian said in a deep voice, "There is no antidote for Soul Returning Powder!"

Meng Po frowned, snorted coldly, raised the dagger, "Looks like you won’t cry until you see the coffin!"

"Stop!" Yun Haotian quickly shouted, "There really is no antidote for Soul Returning Powder! But if one survives the poisoning, Water Lingzhi can extend life! But it won’t last long!"

Meng Po immediately withdrew her hand, looking at Yang Chenxi.

Yang Chenxi furrowed her brows, "Cloud Lingzhi?"

"It’s the mushroom growing at the mouth of Forgetful Spring, we call it Water Lingzhi, it has miraculous effects, so the Yun family has no Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or dementia." Second Young Master Yun explained in a low voice from the side.

Yang Chenxi’s eyes lit up, she looked at Meng Po.

The two exchanged glances, nodding slightly.

Yang Chenxi said, "All the Water Lingzhi, Soul Returning Powder, and formula must be given to me! Then I’ll release Second Young Master Yun!"

"You want the formula? Impossible!"

"If we give you Soul Returning Powder, will you use it against us?"

"Clan Leader! Absolutely must not give it to them!"

"This is the foundation of our family! Can’t give it to outsiders!"

...

Everyone urged.

Yun Haotian’s face was overcast, frowning in thought.

As the Clan Leader, the pressure on him was immense; Second Young Master Yun was a rare genius in the family for centuries, esteemed highly within the family, a model for the younger generation, a hope for the older generation, and his own nephew. If anything happened to him, wouldn’t the family be in chaos?

After much thought, Yun Haotian slowly nodded, "If I give you what you want, you must ensure the safe return of Yun Er! Otherwise, even if the Yun family musters all its strength, we will hunt you down! Even if you flee Penglai Island, we’ll chase you to the ends of the earth to annihilate you!"

"Of course!" Yang Chenxi replied solemnly.

Yun Haotian looked at the Great Elder beside him and nodded slightly.

The Great Elder sighed and turned to preparations.

The other elders were anxious, "Clan Leader, you must reconsider!"

"If we hand Soul Returning Powder to outsiders, our family’s security is jeopardized!"

"It’s vital for suppressing our family’s fate!"

...

Yun Haotian glared at them and reprimanded, "Shut up! Yun Er is the hope of our family, do you want to watch as our family’s hope perishes before us?"

Hearing this, the elders dared not speak.

After all, Second Young Master Yun’s status within the family was evident, and at such a young age, he was already in the Grandmaster Realm, with limitless future prospects. They could not risk his life.

Everyone fell silent.

Though Yang Chenxi and Meng Po remained calm in appearance, they were extremely tense inside.

The formula was about to be in hand, along with unexpected protection.

The Water Lingzhi, though unknown, should have excellent effects on brain nerves according to Second Young Master Yun’s description, possibly key to finding the antidote!

After all, the theory of extreme opposites has ancient roots, maybe near Forgetful Spring grows something that can counteract Soul Returning Powder. After all, Soul Returning Powder is a neurotoxin.

It wasn’t long before the Great Elder returned.

He held a tray with two boxes on it.

Yun Haotian greeted him, taking the tray. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Everything’s in here?" Yun Haotian asked.

The Great Elder nodded slightly, showing a worried expression, "Haotian, are you sure?"

Yun Haotian nodded slightly, carrying the tray and heading down.

Yang Chenxi and Meng Po immediately focused their attention, signaling to Kun Yao.

Kun Yao nodded slightly, moving closer to the two, ready to intervene if the other party acted.

Yun Haotian walked down the steps, approaching Yang Chenxi, "The red box contains the remaining nine portions of Soul Returning Powder; our Yun family has only this much altogether. The formula is also included! In the jade box is the Water Lingzhi, everything you need is here."

Yang Chenxi hurriedly reached out to receive it.

But Yun Haotian stepped back, looking at her calmly.

Meng Po caught on, signaling Purple Cultivator to release the hostage.

Purple Cultivator nodded slightly, giving Second Young Master Yun a push, sending him to Yun Haotian.

Yun Haotian glanced at Second Young Master Yun, only then allowing Yang Chenxi to take the items.

After obtaining the items, Meng Po immediately donned a mask and rubber gloves, opened the red box, picked up a piece of parchment from inside, examined it, and nodded slightly, confirming it was indeed the formula.

She then took out a test strip, opened one of the boxes, tested it, the results showed it was indeed Soul Returning Powder!

Then, Meng Po opened the jade box, and immediately saw the small mushrooms inside that looked like ice crystals, the ones they referred to as Water Lingzhi.

Having confirmed it, Meng Po nodded slightly, looking at Yang Chenxi.

Yang Chenxi finally sighed with relief.

The items were finally in their hands!
