After Chen Xiao finished speaking, the first reaction of the two was not shock, but doubt.

　　"Tch, stop trying to fool me. *Manzhushahua* doesn't look like this. And what about flowers blooming on the road to the Yellow Springs? That's all nonsense. I advise you to read fewer novels!"

　　Luo Qian said, curling her lips. Although she admired Chen Xiao, she wasn't going to back down in her area of expertise.

　　Chen Xiao smiled slightly: "Of course I'm not talking about the *Manzhushahua* you're thinking of, a *lycoris radiata* plant originating from Tianzhu. That's not the real *Manzhushahua*. You can think of those as pirated versions. They have the form but not the substance!"

　　"Is it really as magical as you say? Chen Xiao, are you trying to fool us?"

　　Luo Qian still didn't quite believe Chen Xiao's words, but her mind was wavering.

　　"The fact that it can grow without sunlight is something the *Manzhushahua* you know can't do."

　　As Chen Xiao spoke, he slowly walked to the edge of the flower sea and casually picked a *Manzhushahua*.

　　"Be careful, Chen Xiao! Aren't you afraid it's poisonous?"

　　Song Zijian reminded loudly.

　　Chen Xiao smiled: "You're right, *Manzhushahua* is extremely poisonous, but that's only if it's been specially refined. When it's in its flower state, its toxicity can't be transmitted to people at all, because when it touches human skin, it becomes like this..."

　　As Chen Xiao spoke, the *Manzhushahua* in his hand withered rapidly.

　　Chen Xiao casually crushed it, and the flower turned into ashes like burnt paper.

　　Song Zijian and Luo Qian were dumbfounded, hardly daring to believe their eyes.

　　Chen Xiao then asked softly, "Is this what the *Manzhushahua* you know is like?"

　　Luo Qian opened her mouth and shook her head, asking, "Chen Xiao, how do you know all this?"

　　"I read it in a book."

　　Chen Xiao casually told a lie.

　　Because this *Manzhushahua*, in his dream-like world of cultivation, was just the most common and low-level plant, easily seen by the roadside.

　　But he didn't expect that this kind of plant could actually grow on Earth.

　　Because as far as he knew, the growing conditions required by this plant were very harsh. It could only grow in soil with extremely abundant fire attributes.

　　On Earth, unless it was specially cultivated soil, the five elements attributes were generally very harmonized and balanced, without any particular attribute being prominent.

　　So this piece of underground land was very likely specially cultivated, but how it was cultivated, Chen Xiao hadn't figured out yet.

　　Just as Chen Xiao was thinking, Song Zijian suddenly asked, "Chen Xiao, since you've seen introductions to this plant in books, does the book say what they can be used for?"

　　Song Zijian's question was very much to the point. After all, someone was spending a lot of money to buy this kind of *Manzhushahua*, which meant it must have a special use.

　　Chen Xiao pondered for a moment, wondering if he should tell these two what he knew.

　　After a moment, he decided to speak: "This kind of *Manzhushahua* has many uses. The refined toxin is actually a kind of fire poison."

　　Hearing Chen Xiao's words, Song Zijian couldn't help but ask, "Fire poison? Do you mean that the Chen family's thirteen deaths were caused by these flowers?"

　　Chen Xiao shook his head, glaring: "Can you let me finish? With the level of those thirteen members of the Chen family, it's impossible for them to extract toxins from *Manzhushahua*. To put it bluntly, they don't even qualify to be poisoned by the flowers."

　　"The reason for their poisoning is likely related to the monster Old Man Chen mentioned, and the fire poison extracted from *Manzhushahua* is generally used to refine pills, and then used for cultivation!"

　　"Refining pills? Cultivation?"

　　Luo Qian was slightly stunned and asked with a face full of surprise, "Are you talking about the kind where you cultivate spells?"

　　Chen Xiao frowned slightly: "Since your Broken Evil Division is dedicated to the field of supernatural powers, shouldn't you be so surprised to hear this?"

　　Luo Qian smiled awkwardly and said with shame, "Chen Xiao, I haven't been employed for long, and I haven't seen much of the world, so don't laugh at me."

　　Song Zijian smiled sheepishly and said, "Chen Xiao, don't think Qianqian is surprised, even I haven't dealt with real cultivators. Our level is too low, and any cultivator in the cultivation world requires an officer two levels higher than me to contact..."

　　Chen Xiao was speechless. It turned out that these two people were not as knowledgeable as he had imagined.

　　He even regretted exposing so much in front of them.

　　At this time, Luo Qian asked, "Chen Xiao, how do you know so much? You're not a cultivator too, are you?"

　　Chen Xiao touched his nose, not knowing how to answer.

　　Song Zijian saw Chen Xiao's hesitation and thought he was unwilling to say, so he glared at Luo Qian fiercely.

　　"Qianqian, have you forgotten the organization's rules? Don't ask what you shouldn't ask! Brother Chen, let's continue talking about the topic just now."

　　Luo Qian pouted aggrievedly. When they first met, she looked down on Chen Xiao as just a young doctor. She never thought that a few hours later, he would become someone she couldn't afford to associate with.

　　Chen Xiao continued the previous topic: "Actually, there's nothing more to say. The real owner of this land must be a cultivator, and with such a large amount, it definitely isn't just one or two cultivators. It's likely to be a super-large sect!"

　　"As for the monster Old Man Chen mentioned, it's just guarding the land for them, and may even be their pet!"

　　Hearing this, Luo Qian directly muttered, "Isn't it said that good and evil don't stand together? Why would a cultivation sect raise a monster as a pet?"

　　Chen Xiao smiled coldly: "Who told you that sects must be righteous, and who told you that monsters must be evil? One thing I can tell you for sure is that a sect that extracts toxins from *Manzhushahua* for cultivation is definitely not a good thing! At least they are cultivating evil techniques!"

　　Chen Xiao's words directly subverted the worldviews of Luo Qian and Song Zijian.

　　Originally, in their eyes, cultivation sects must be famous and upright sects that eliminate demons and defend the Dao, but according to Chen Xiao, it didn't seem to be the case.

　　In fact, how would they know that there are no so-called famous and upright sects in this world?

　　Even pure justice and evil do not exist. The so-called cultivation is just competing with the heavens for power and seizing creation from ghosts and gods, all for the sake of profit!

　　Just as the three of them were talking, a black shadow was rapidly running through the flower sea.

　　A sneer appeared on the corner of Chen Xiao's mouth. Hmph, finally couldn't hold back anymore, came out, huh!
