Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Damn the beloved relatives
"Ah!!!"
"Gurgle~ Gurgle~"
Watching this so-called body tempering liquid on the screen, Ethan broke out in a cold sweat.
"No wonder she's called a lethal pharmacist..."
It wasn't just Ethan who was nervous; there were quite a few Blackwoods in the Thunderfire Demon Cave.
At that moment, above the bubbling greenish liquid, Julian and his wife, along with Daniel, were present, staring at this strange concoction. Even they, who had survived countless battles and bloodshed, couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.
Julian rubbed his bald head, "Sis, you... you're not going to kill my three great-grandsons playing around, are you?"
"How could I?" Amelia scoffed. "This is a concoction of 360 different poisons I've gathered over the years. If it weren't for our own kids, plus Edward needing to snatch that thing, I'd have offered it to Forebearer."
The crowd had just breathed a sigh of relief when Amelia casually mentioned, "Besides, I've been making medicines for years. The dosage and toxicity are evident if the user doesn't die."
"..."
Julian's bald head was all knotted up, "I only have six great-grandsons left, and two of them are already not looking good. One is about to join the Moore side branch. Don't kill them all, sis!"
"Come on, you really think my reputation as a saintly herbalist and lethal pharmacist is for nothing? Even Forebearer doesn't doubt me."
Amelia shooed the three away, "Younger brother, aren't you trying to break through to the seventh rank? I can't wait for your seventh-rank psychic puppet to help me plant herbs."
"Mary, wasn't your younger sister supposed to help Larry capture two demon kings in the swamp forest? Remember to bring back some seventh-rank psychic materials for me; I need to make my breakthrough too."
"Daniel, you should leave. Your elder brother is about to finish his retreat. It's been years since you've seen him, and you should catch up and see if there's anything in the Sky Sect that could be of use to the Blackwoods."
Watching them leave with full hearts of doubt, Amelia sat down cross-legged.
Actually, she wasn't wrong; Ethan really never doubted Amelia's abilities.
After all, she possessed the "Thousand Herb Scripture" and the "Heavenly Scourge Divine Tree."
With her various traits and years of medical experience, there was no way anything could go wrong.
"But to honor Forebearer like that is a bit too much."
Ethan commented, having spent too much time in the Thunderfire Demon Cave, Amelia did have a bit of a demonic vibe.
Then he clicked on that fearsome pool of green water.
[Nine-grade Rotating Heavenly Azure Pool]
[Description: Amelia's secret body tempering pool, made from 360 different poisons, many of which Amelia tested herself. The potent medicines stimulate the muscles, meridians, Psychic Constitution, and internal sea, potentially boosting various Psychic Constitutions by 8-15 points.
The body constantly absorbs and recombines due to the potent medicinal agents, significantly absorbing various psychic energies from the environment.]
[Side effects: Severe pain, prolonged immersion may lead to death, vegetative state, or dementia in the physically weak.]
"..."
Ethan felt that if such a miraculous item were sold in reality, it would hardly receive any negative reviews. Meanwhile, in the scene:
Amelia watched her family leave and breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, they're gone."
She squatted beside the pool, looking at the three people in the Azure Wheel Pool, who were still screaming in pain.
"It's a bargain for you."
Amelia stuck out her tongue and smiled, then vines began to emerge around her.
These vines turned into roots, cradling her like a sacred statue, lifting Amelia slowly into the air.
Gradually.
Flowers began to grow on these vines, spreading over the demon-tainted dead soil from years of battles with demonic psychics, the flowers seemed so out of place, yet bloomed so beautifully. Even the grotesque Azure Wheel Pool seemed to gain an unusual beauty from the blossoming flowers.
Trees began to rise from the ground, budding and blooming.
The cave, once like a demon's lair, now felt like spring had arrived, filled with vitality, a true paradise.
Amelia was like a fairy guarding the flowers.
Seeing this scene, Ethan's face changed dramatically.
[Your descendant Amelia is using the "Divine Plant Magic Technique," she is consuming her lifespan to repair and enhance the physique and talents of the three children!]
The dancing flowers fell onto the bodies of the three young ones in the pond.
Their wailing stopped, as if they had fallen into a warm embrace, their breathing gradually eased, as they dreamt a beautiful dream.
Ethan finally understood why Amelia had said 'It's a bargain for you.'
She must have known about the toxicity of the Azure Wheel Pool and feared that Julian and his wife, along with Daniel, would stop her, so she sent them away!
[Stop!]
Ethan hastily wrote these words using Forebearer Cards, gritting his teeth.
He now understood that Amelia had planned from the beginning to use her lifespan to activate the Divine Plant Magic Technique to counteract the toxicity of the Azure Wheel Pool!
Seeing the words before her.
For the first time in her life, Amelia defied the Forebearer's command.
Her smile bloomed as brightly as the flowers today, and even in her disheveled state, she was beautiful enough to alleviate all pain and bring life to the dead soil.

"Hehe, Forebearer, it's okay."
"The child is still young, and I can already feel the next level of the Divine Plant Magic Tree and the Immortal Fetus. When I break through next time, I'll reach the third Psychic Constitution, and my cultivation speed is getting faster. Plus, with the Immortal Fetus, taking medicinal pills won't harm me."
"They..."
"But they are my beloved relatives."
Amelia didn't spell it out.
But if Ethan were to put it bluntly, damn the beloved relatives!
Amelia and these three little rascals were meeting for the first time!
Edward's talents were ultimately low, and even with the family's full support, he might not be a match for his peers in the youth talent battle twenty years later, the future filled with uncertainties.
So...
Amelia has always been like this, smiling foolishly, saying nothing matters. Then, as a child, she stayed away from the crowd, unlike other children who gathered, she was alone in the psychic medicine garden, taking care of everything.
While other children played with kittens and puppies, she was already dragging corpses to the Beast Blood Fruit tree to bleed them.
The Thunderfire Demon Cave just needed to gather intelligence, she stayed here for decades, sending all the good stuff back home, the most valuable thing on her person was a basic psychic tool gourd for collecting medicinal herbs.
