After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

Chapter 293 Entering the Gu Cave and Passing the First Level

Before Hua Lingxiao could answer, Yuan Wanru promised confidently, "Don't worry, everyone. No matter what the outcome, we will accept it and will definitely not cause any trouble for you."

"Husband, right?"

Thinking about how she never did anything without confidence, Lu Jiangnian nodded and said, "Yes, that's my promise."

Hua Lingxiao glanced around and his voice, filled with pressure, echoed throughout the room: "Since there are no objections, then, let the test begin."

Elder Jiao led the group to a cool, shady cave. "The first step is to catch the Gu."

"This is the Gu Cave, where many Gu are raised. When the children of the Gu Sect reach the age of fifteen, they must come here in person and pick out a Gu to keep as a souvenir."

"Mrs. Jiang, you go in alone and pick out a Gu. If you are accidentally bitten by the Gu inside, it will be considered a failure."

"Of course, you don't have to go in now. You have a day to prepare."

At this point, Hua Siyue still refused to give up. She was still trying to persuade Yuan Wanru: "Sister Wanru, there are thousands of kinds of Gu in the Gu Cave, not only young Gu but also adult Gu. Those adult Gu really like to attack people, and they are also highly poisonous. Do you really want to go?"

Although she had not spent much time with Sister Wanru, she couldn't explain why she liked Sister Wanru very much.

This kind of love comes from the heart.

Just now, deep down in her heart, Hua Siyue actually really hoped that Sister Wanru was her cousin.

Yuan Wanru touched her smooth little face and looked up at Elder Jiao: "Okay, I understand. Can you wait for me? I'll ask someone to go back and get something for me."

Everyone in the Gu Sect had shocked expressions on their faces.

Even the experienced Elder Jiao couldn't help but ask her in surprise, "You mean you're going into the Gu Cave today?"

Yuan Wanru looked over with a smile, not nervous at all: "Yes, I'll go in later."

Mo Nihong snorted coldly: "If that's the case, then we'll just wait."

It was obvious that Elder Jiao still wanted to persuade Yuan Wanru, so Mo Nihong said, "Who knows, he might be an expert who keeps his talents hidden. Elder Jiao, don't worry about it in vain."

Mo Nihong felt that these outsiders simply did not know their place. The Gu Cave was not easy to enter. How could a young girl like her, who had never seen the world in Jingchao, come out of it unscathed?

Thinking of this, Mo Nihong glanced sideways to pay attention to Hua Lingxiao's reaction, but saw that she had a calm expression and no expression of worry at all.

Is it true that these two people really have no relationship at all?

Yuan Wanru sent Xuan Qing back to her residence to bring her some things. Xuan Qing hurried back and forth and did not waste any time.

Yuan Wanru took the small cloth bag Xuan Qing handed her and slung it over one shoulder. Then, with brisk steps, she walked to Elder Jiao's side and took the porcelain jar from him. "I'll put the Gu in here later, and that'll be all, right?"

"Yes."

Elder Jiao handed it to her and couldn't help but feel curious. Could it be that Madam Jiang really knew witchcraft?

Yuan Wanru turned around and waved to Lu Jiangnian, "I'll be out soon, don't worry."

Lu Jiangnian held his breath. Although he knew her abilities, he was still worried about letting her enter this dark cave alone.

"Well, be careful in everything and don't force it."

Yuan Wanru smiled in response, turned around and walked in.

The cave was very cold and gloomy, and it was indeed a good place to raise poisonous insects. She took out a small porcelain bottle from her small cloth bag, sprinkled the poison-repelling powder inside on her dress, and poured out some to put on her hair.

This anti-poison powder was developed by Xuan Huang.

It has to be said that Xuan Huang has a strong spirit of research. After she threw the poison in Madam Lu and Rong Shu to Xuan Huang, Xuan Huang spent a lot of time and effort to prepare this medicinal powder.

Then she took out a Taiping Pill and swallowed it.

Most poisonous insects don't like the smell of mandarin duck lotus, so this is a double insurance for her.

The light inside the cave was very poor and she couldn't see anything clearly. She took out a huge night-shining pearl, which was given to her by Lu Jiangnian.

At that time, Lu Jiangnian sent her all the good things he had. Later, after the two of them consummated their marriage, he simply gave her all his private treasury and let her use it as she pleased.

Her best friend once said that where a man's heart is, there is his money. This statement may not be true, but it definitely makes sense.

It has to be said that Lu Jiangnian was never stingy with her.

After releasing the night pearl, she could see everything around her clearly.

There were many medicinal herbs inside. She took a quick look and found that most of the dried centipedes, dried toads, Aconitum, Pinellia, Gelsemium elegans, etc. were poisonous.

These medicinal herbs were piled up on the ground, winding deep into the ground, and no one knew how far they were.

These medicinal herbs are covered with dense white dots. At first glance, it looks like they are covered with a layer of snow.

But if you look closely, you will find that these white dots are constantly wriggling.

If someone with trypophobia saw this, they would probably be so scared that they would fall down.

All the Gu gathered around the medicinal herbs. The ones on the outermost edge were those that had already become Gu. They did not crave the medicinal herbs that much and had stronger attack power.

So, the test is not that simple.

Even though she had double insurance on her, she couldn't guarantee that all the poisons would avoid her.

All drugs have limitations.

Yuan Wanru did not act arrogantly. She stood far away and watched quietly for a while, grasping the movements of the insect.

There were fewer adult Gu in the southwest corner, so she decided to catch a young Gu from there.

Thinking of this, she took out a paper bag from the small cloth bag, then ran over and scattered it in the opposite direction.

This paper bag contains cinnabar.

The mature Gu didn't like Yuan Wanru's scent in the first place, and with the lure of cinnabar, they all ran away. Yuan Wanru was quick-witted and picked up the porcelain jar to take away a young Gu, then quickly turned around and left.

Since the Gu Cave is a place that everyone in the Gu Sect can come to, it won’t be too difficult.

The prerequisite is that the person who comes really understands Gu.

Therefore, this level is not difficult for Yuan Wanru.

When she reappeared at the cave entrance, Lu Jiangnian was the first to run over, his brows furrowed tightly, his expression worried, "Are you okay?"

As he asked, he looked her up and down, and cautiously reached out his hand, wanting to touch her head.

Yuan Wanru smiled and said, "I'm fine, don't worry. I have anti-insect powder on my head, don't touch it."

She laughed so happily that Lu Jiangnian finally let go of his worries.

He turned his hand and tapped her forehead, praising her sincerely: "Very impressive!"

Her eyebrows and eyes became more lively: "Of course."

She shook the porcelain jar in her hand at him and said, "First level, passed."

After saying this, he handed the porcelain jar to Elder Jiao who had come to his side and said, "Please check it."

Elder Jiao took it, opened it, and saw that there was indeed a poisonous insect lying inside.

Mo Nihong pursed her lips, "You actually know witchcraft?"

Yuan Wanru smiled sweetly at her: "Isn't it possible? If I don't understand at all, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?"

Mo Nihong was so angry at her arrogance that her face turned green.

"Humph, not every time I'm so lucky, I can't pass the next level, but you can pass it smoothly."

Yuan Wanru rolled her eyes and said, "Otherwise, let's make a bet."

"If I can pass, Elder Mo will give me three thousand taels of silver. If I can't pass, I will also give you three thousand taels of silver. Do you dare?"

Lu Jiangnian felt that this scene was inexplicably familiar. This woman seemed to have cheated other people of their money in the name of gambling.
