Chapter 294: Confession
Knowing that Qin Zhenzhen had already exposed the Jiang family’s scheme and was temporarily out of danger, Su Bin let out a sigh of relief.
From Qin Zhenzhen’s bag, he retrieved a long wooden box containing two seemingly inconspicuous stalks of dried grass.
As Su Bin surveyed his surroundings, confusion etched across his face. Could these unassuming blades of grass truly be Immortal Pills with extraordinary effects?
Moreover, the notion that this Immortal Pill was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had him intrigued. Determinedly, he embarked on a quest to consult an ancient book. According to this treasured tome, the Immortal Pill could only be found in the depths of remote mountains and forests, a rare discovery requiring an abundance of luck.
The palace notice had further details, stating that the Immortal Pill typically made its appearance at specific times. In fact, it was said to have been unearthed once in the heart of Mount Daling, nestled within Huangshe County’s jurisdiction.
Huangshe County fell under the governance of Meijiang Prefecture City and was relatively close by. However, Su Bin pondered when Qin Zhenzhen had ever ventured into Mount Daling’s depths. Her audacity knew no bounds.
The notice also revealed that the Empress Dowager urgently required the "Immortal Pill" for her ailment and was willing to purchase it for a handsome sum of one thousand gold coins.
It became evident that Qin Zhenzhen had set up this elaborate scheme as a trap for the Empress Dowager and her cohorts.
