"Haha, Huo girl, you’re really preparing for a rainy day!" Bai Buzhi burst into happiness upon hearing Huo Sining’s words. In fact, that Golden Lotus is hidden inside Huo Sining’s storage ring. When the Old Turtle led Huo Sining into the cave back then, the Golden Lotus was already showing signs of blooming, but Huo Sining rudely uprooted it. Later, Fujiwara Seiho sent ninjas to stake out the S University villa and even sneaked inside, but they couldn’t find the Golden Lotus because Huo Sining had tossed it into the storage ring. The time in the storage ring is static, so once the Golden Lotus entered, it was like frozen, preventing it from blooming prematurely. With Huo Sining possessing the Spirit of Azure Pearl, once she gathers all the necessary ingredients from the prescription, she can stimulate the Golden Lotus to bloom instantly and simply harvest the stems. However, this isn’t the sole reason Huo Sining previously seemed strange. Knowing Mr. Bai was the Bai Buzhi she was looking for, Huo Sining speculated that he must know some secrets about the Golden Lotus, which she anticipated. It wasn’t just the knowledge that the Golden Lotus Stems were the catalyst in the ancient prescription that surprised her. She felt peculiar due to the mention of the Deep Sea Jiaosnake in the prescription. Especially after hearing Bai Buzhi explain that a highly venomous Cobra Subfamily sea snake was required, Huo Sining felt it was both laughable and ironic. This coincidence was just too incredible. Back in Dongyang, when Huo Sining unexpectedly discovered Fujiwara Seiho’s trail at Dongdu Seaport, she followed them stealthily with an Invisibility Spell to uncover the Golden Lotus secret. Unexpectedly, after following Fujiwara Seiho’s group out to sea, she didn’t uncover Golden Lotus news, but learned their target was the Awa Maru, and that there was a lot of gold in the sunken ship. Thinking like a mantis stalking a cicada unaware of the oriole behind, Huo Sining decided to dive to the seabed to seize the opportunity. As Fujiwara Seiho’s divers went underwater, she slipped into the ship’s cabin through a hole and found forty tons of gold bars. However, after taking the gold, Huo Sining realized that upon entering the cabin, the divers were attacked by a swarm of sea snakes. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝕟𝕖𝕥 Huo Sining collected all the sea snakes into her storage ring and also took a strange Mysterious Iron Box Fujiwara Seiho wanted. What was inside that Mysterious Iron Box? Huo Sining still hasn’t figured it out, but she kept the sea snakes in the storage ring all the same. Joking aside, Thistle Sea Snakes are valuable! Although they’re poisonous, their venom holds immense medicinal value. Often, people say sea ​​snake wine is a good thing, so Huo Sining saw no reason to return them after acquiring them! Besides, sea snakes reign in the sea, but once out of the water, they’re like bugs and easily handled. With that thought in mind, Huo Sining didn’t get rid of the sea snakes but brought them back home. She extracted a few smaller ones to brew medicinal wine in a large jar in her basement, planning to give each old fellow in the Imperial Capital a taste once it was ready. These were things Huo Sining did accidentally, not expecting they’d become useful by chance. The ancient prescription Bai Buzhi mentioned required a Deep Sea Jiaosnake. For anything else, Huo Sining might have been helpless, but as for sea snakes, she had dozens in her storage ring, small ones over a meter long, and larger ones three to four meters long, thick as bowls! You see, when Huo Sining entered the Awa Maru’s bow, she stumbled upon the Thistle Sea Snake’s nest. To get the Mysterious Iron Box that Fujiwara Seiho wanted, she unceremoniously cleaned out the snake nest, including capturing the Snake King. So, for the Deep Sea Jiaosnake in the ancient prescription, they should look no further than Huo Sining! She has plenty to spare, and if need be, she’ll revisit the Awa Maru site to catch a few more! Although the Awa Maru is now buried in silt, the sea snakes won’t abandon it as a den, meaning more Thistle Sea Snakes are nesting there. With a snake-catching expert like Huo Sining, anyone she targets is likely to be caught! However, she couldn’t boast about having sea snakes in front of Bai Buzhi and Ouyang Jun—that would draw too much attention. Thistle Sea Snakes aren’t conspicuous, but those who know their power avoid them. If Huo Sining suddenly claimed she had them, it might arouse Bai Buzhi and Ouyang Jun’s suspicion. Capturing such creatures isn’t easy, and if she explained it was her doing, she couldn’t very well say she personally dove 100-200 meters deep to catch them, could she? Moreover, with the Thistle Sea Snake’s high medicinal value, many people would be very interested. If Ouyang Jun knew she had extras, he might ask for some, putting her in a position where refusing would be difficult. So it’s easier to let sleeping dogs lie and say nothing for now. "Mr. Bai, for the Deep Sea Jiaosnake, I can ask my senior brother to help. He has people working in Dongyang’s deep-sea area year-round; he should manage to get one or two." Huo Sining smiled, pointing to the prescription. Bai Buzhi gave her a suspicious look, "The prescription calls for not just any sea snake but a highly toxic one. Are you sure it’s doable?" Ouyang Jun had the most to say here: "I can vouch for Huo Sining’s senior brother’s abilities. During the Dongyang Port customs closure, I tried smuggling in some machine tools but failed despite many connections. But in just three days, Huo Sining’s senior brought them over effortlessly, causing no trouble. He’s quite impressive, so getting a couple of sea snakes shouldn’t be an issue!" After hearing this, Bai Buzhi nodded, dissolving any doubts. "This way, the prescription’s real challenge remains finding the so-called Glacier Ganoderma, which is the key."
