Chapter 4674: 5.0426 Progress

Her Ladyship Qiao Qiao hid behind the big tree, observing her husband intently for a long while before finally looking away.

As she turned, she nearly collided with someone.

"Haha," a silver-belllike laugh came from behind her.

Qiao Mu's small face immediately showed a hint of embarrassment. She glared exasperatedly at Fairy Huang He, who had appeared behind her at some point. "What are you doing?"

"Qiao Qiao, if I hadn't come over, I wouldn't have known you had a penchant for peeking."

"Who was peeking?" Qiao Mu huffed, turning her head with an arrogant expression. "I was looking openly."

"Yes, yes, openly peeking," Fairy Huang He giggled, taking her hand. "Qiao Qiao, come with me. There's something I need to tell you."

Qiao Mu saw Fairy Huang He's expression gradually turn serious, knowing she likely had important news to announce. She also composed herself and followed her out of Phoenix Spring.

"Qiuqiu, take us to the treehouse on Peach Blossom Star."

This treehouse was built for her by Little Tree for resting when she first started. However, since Her Ladyship Qiao Qiao had moved to live in her own small courtyard on the main star, the treehouse was naturally empty. It was now being repurposed by Fairy Huang He as a medical room.

Qiao Mu followed Huang He into the treehouse and saw several rows of large wooden vine shelves on both sides. They were neatly stacked with various pills and medicinal liquids, small jars and bottles filled to the brim.

"Qiao Qiao, sit down, let's talk," Fairy Huang He pulled her to sit at a small table.

She picked up a small bottled item, placed it in front of Qiao Mu, her expression very serious. "I've carefully read all the messages sent by Mr. Su from the small base."

"They said that from the body of Eighteenth Sister, who was sent over, they extracted a toxin that harms both the human body and nerves."

"This seems to be the core component of their human modification process."

Qiao Mu nodded gravely, taking the small bottle from Fairy Huang He. "Is it in here?"

Fairy Huang He nodded slightly. "Yes."

"How do you think we should proceed?"

"Mr. Su's meaning is that this toxin can perfectly integrate with the human body, making it impossible for anyone to detect any abnormality," Fairy Huang He explained. "I think the improved medicinal liquid that Tianyun created is this very substance."

"I plan to find a few corpses to experiment on first. What do you think?"

"Okay," Qiao Mu nodded. "But not on Peach Blossom Star."

"Naturally," Fairy Huang He rolled her eyes. "Do you think I'm a fool? Our Celestial Pill Hall members are fine, but how can we bring other unknown apothecaries into Peach Blossom Star?"

"We'll designate an area on that Snow Island that only apothecaries can access. Apothecaries from Cangzhou and Mingzhou have all arrived now, haven't they? There's strength in numbers; I need their help."

"Good," Qiao Mu nodded. "I'll discuss this with Ming Ya Si and Duan Yue. Just tell us what you need."

Fairy Huang He smiled and nodded. "Do you have any other good suggestions, Qiao Qiao?"

"I have a test subject here that you can use," Qiao Mu said, her eyes cold.

Fairy Huang He paused, surprised. From her understanding of Qiao Qiao, this little poker face might seem cold on the outside, but she was actually quite warm-hearted. It was unlikely she would easily send unrelated people, especially those who weren't known, into a laboratory for experimentation.
