Chapter 435: The Caring Woman Draws Attention!
Malevolent Qi, also known as Evil Qi, denotes a state of ominousness and brutality.
Once a person is invaded by this malevolent energy, they easily lose their reason and turn into violent, bloodthirsty individuals.
Those who step out of the battlefield, including members of the Yin-Yang School, inevitably carry some of this malevolent energy,
usually resulting from their heavy acts of slaughter.
Such energies can be resolved,
but the malevolent Qi on the Grand Priestess is entirely different.
First of all, it’s significantly more sinister.
Secondly, her malevolent energy is derived from a magic sword, infused with severe demonic traits.
Duanmu Rong lifted Uya’s sleeve, inspecting the black line creeping up her arm.
“This Six-One-Three… this malevolent energy has deeply infiltrated your body, while the item you have can only mitigate it externally. At most, it will be effective for no more than a month. As the malevolent Qi further penetrates, its effectiveness will diminish. Thus, to continue alleviating your suffering, we need to tackle the problem from within.”
Uya earnestly replied, “Please enlighten me, Miss Duanmu.”
Duanmu Rong lowered her arm and helped pull her sleeve back down.
Then she continued, “The malevolent Qi is associated with the yin and is inherently sinister; to regulate it within your body, you must use a precious treasure with a yang attribute.”
Li Mo immediately chimed in, “What do we need? I can have someone buy it right now.”
What does he lack the most right now?
Just money and manpower!
No matter what precious items it is, there’s really nothing that money can’t buy!
Duanmu Rong decisively replied, “Ganoderma.”
Li Mo nodded, “That’s manageable. Just tell me how much you need, and I’ll send someone to the city to buy it.”
Even if he had Uya eat Ganoderma like a meal, he wouldn’t bat an eye!
However, Duanmu Rong shook her head.
“Ordinary Ganoderma won’t do.”
Li Mo grasped her meaning: “Does it have to be of a certain age? Five hundred years or a thousand years? If not, I’ll just grab that three-thousand-year-old Ganoderma from the imperial palace.”
Uya bit her lip, feeling a moment of warmth at Li Mo’s display of wealth.
“None of those will do.”
Duanmu Rong shook her head again.
At this point, Li Mo couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
A three-thousand-year-old Ganoderma is practically the best in the world—how could even that not be sufficient?
Duanmu Rong explained, “While Ganoderma indeed possesses yin attributes, the longer its age, the stronger its yang properties become. However, that ordinary Ganoderma may work on Sound-Moving Malevolent Qi, but it won’t help with the malevolence inside Uya.”
“You mean, we need an extraordinary Ganoderma?”
Li Mo felt an urge to shout, What the heck?! Even a three-thousand-year-old one isn’t good enough?
“Exactly! If you want it to be effective for her, there’s only one type of Ganoderma in the world that can help.”
As she spoke, Duanmu Rong looked up at Li Mo and said, “Fire Ganoderma.”
Li Mo was taken aback: “Fire Ganoderma?”
“Have you heard of it?”
Seeing his reaction, Duanmu Rong assumed he was familiar with it.
Li Mo waved his hand, “No, first time hearing of it; just thought the name sounded strange.”
In truth, it wasn’t his first time hearing.
Fire Ganoderma frequently appears in later films and stories; he just didn’t expect it was a real thing.
“Whether it’s Fire Ganoderma or Water Ganoderma, I’ll have someone look for it right now.”
Li Mo stood up, ready to send out orders for the Fire Ganoderma.
But Duanmu Rong suddenly called out, “No need to search; I know where to find it.”
Upon hearing this, Li Mo’s heart leaped with joy.
Since she knows where to find it, the situation just got a lot easier.
“Where?”
Duanmu Rong slowly said, “The Farmer’s Organization has one, and it’s the only one in existence.”
After hearing this, Li Mo couldn’t help but frown.
Uya sensed something unusual about his expression.
“Is that Farmer’s Organization unwilling to sell?”
Duanmu Rong shot a look at Li Mo and said, “Fire Ganoderma is rare and valuable; whether they would sell it is one issue, but the main point is that the Farmer’s Organization and him do not see eye to eye.”
The Farmer’s Organization is one of the many schools of thought,
and it boasts the most followers among them, claiming to have over a hundred thousand disciples.
Initially, Lord Changping raised his forces against Qin State with the help of the Farmer’s Hero.
But shortly after, he was killed by someone Li Mo had secretly stationed by his side.
That included Tian Guang, who also met an unfortunate end.
While the assassination of Tian Guang was officially attributed to the Yin-Yang School, anyone with a brain could connect the dots and suspect it was Li Mo pulling strings behind the scenes.
After Tian Guang’s death, chaos ensued in the Farmer’s Organization.
Each faction leader wanted to become the new Farmer’s Hero, too caught up in the moment to attend to the ongoing war between Chu State and Qin State.
By the time they realized what was happening, 5.1 Chu State was already gone.
Although the Farmer’s Organization hasn’t chosen a new Hero yet, Li Mo’s puppet master identity has been solidified.
Now, asking them to sell Fire Ganoderma, how could the Farmer’s Organization possibly agree?
“I see.”
Uya nodded gently after hearing this and surprisingly comforted Li Mo.
“Honestly, not having Fire Ganoderma isn’t a big deal; it’ll just be a little cold, and I can manage it.”
She sensed the tricky nature of this matter and didn’t want Li Mo to feel burdened because of her.
The more a woman understands, the more affection she draws from others.
Uya sincerely didn’t want to put Li Mo in a tough spot,
