After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 160 Cangmingyuan

Upon hearing this, Hu Jiu immediately shook his head, "No, Senior Brother Qi isn't that kind of person."

Liu Feng and Xu Yihan both stated that they would not do such a thing.

As he spoke, Liu Feng glanced at Mo Jiuwei—

Mo Jiuwei was deep in thought.

[Senior Brother Qi is truly remarkable; he actually dared to cultivate in seclusion in Cangming Plain!]

[My luck is terrible. I was about to break through, but that Yi Ling Vine interrupted me, and I inexplicably made a bunch of enemies.]

We have to save him right away, or he's doomed!

He mentioned Cangming Lake, which suggests he's hiding the Yiling Vine there, hoping the Xianlai Sect will go there to retrieve it and alleviate their predicament.

The members of the Immortal Sect exchanged glances, and then they all understood.

Cangming Lake is located in Cangming Plain, which is a very good place for cultivation. Qi Heng said he was going home to go into seclusion, but he didn't go home and went to Cangming Plain instead.
To dare to go into seclusion outside, what audacity!

There must be a reason for this, otherwise he wouldn't have taken such a risk.

"Forget everything else, let's rescue them first." Liu Feng made a decisive decision. "Head to Cangming Lake immediately!"

"Okay!" everyone agreed.

Meng Ling was also somewhat ashamed. She only learned the truth after hearing what Junior Sister Jiuwei said, and realized that she had been being petty.

Fortunately, no one else made a fuss.

"Should you bring your maid along?" Chen Lan asked Mo Jiuwei.

Mo Jiuwei shook her head, "We won't take them on this long trip. Let them stay here for now."

Soon, she called Huang Ye and the others over, and then took out some things and placed them in front of them.

"Distribute these among yourselves. I'm going out for a bit. Use this time to cultivate diligently. Use the items as needed, and don't be stingy with them."

She displayed a lot of items, all of which could help improve cultivation, such as pills refined by Du Yue, spirit stones, and Heavenly Saliva Mushrooms.

Huang Ye and the others were stunned. "These...they're for us?"

"Well, if you're going to protect me, you'll naturally need to be quite capable. Otherwise, who's protecting whom?" Mo Jiuwei retorted.

The seven people, clutching the items, had tears in their eyes. They then knelt down to express their gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Master! We will definitely cultivate diligently and live up to your expectations."

"You all guard the mountain gate during this time, and notify me immediately if anything happens."

"Yes."

The seven people left, wiping away their tears.

They were about to leave the Immortal Sect when they saw Ling Qing walking gracefully towards them, elegant as a fairy, with lotus blossoms blooming with every step.

In just one or two days, he had recovered. The clothes he wore were made from fresh leaves, a green robe and a black cloak, making him look mysterious and light.

“I’ll go with you.” He looked at Mo Jiuwei as he spoke. “There might be something I can do to help you on this trip.”

Liu Feng and the others' eyes lit up. "That's wonderful, thank you so much."

Of course, Ling Qing is indispensable. His people are like fish in water in the forest. Whenever it's something that needs to be done outside the city, calling on him is always the right thing to do.

Ling Qing nodded, "No need to be so polite."

The Bu Shen clan already owed the Xianlai Sect a debt of gratitude, and they thought that staying here temporarily would be a way to repay that debt. But who knew that after arriving, they would find that this was not repaying a debt of gratitude at all, but rather taking advantage of the situation!

It just so happened that the divination revealed that the Immortal Sect was going out, and that he could help with this trip, so he came, just to offer his small contribution.

As for the clansmen, they were still somewhat shaken after what happened with the Wind Chaser Clan. Since their help was needed for their new home in the back mountains, Ling Qing decided to leave them there instead of taking anyone else with her this time. Xu Yihan naturally stayed behind, watching them depart with a helpless sigh.

They had just returned, and Xu Yihan had been looking forward to a lively time, but unexpectedly, they had to leave again after only a few days.

He felt like an empty-nest old man, always welcoming and seeing off the children.

He patted his leg, "What a disappointment..."

On the flying boat, Du Yue said with some guilt, "It's all my fault for being useless and unable to heal the sect leader's leg. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been confined to the sect all this time."

Having not gone out for so long, one can imagine Xu Yihan's state of mind.

"You've only been learning alchemy for a few months, and you're already very good. Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Ji Qingqing hugged her. "Don't rush, take your time."

Mo Jiuwei looked at Du Yue, then looked down at her own hands.

Her hands were small, chubby, and short.

She can't even hold a pancake or a piece of fruit properly; she's really no good at refining pills with those hands.

I'm still too young; I can't handle alchemy furnaces or weapon-refining furnaces anytime soon.

"But now that I can speak and give commands, if Senior Sister Du is willing to let me guide her, then perhaps I can refine the Ten-Day Elixir when I get back!"

How can I bring up the topic in a way that they'll find more acceptable?

Mo Jiuwei rested her chin on her hand, her brows furrowed in confusion.

She knew everyone trusted her, but the matter of giving her guidance in alchemy seemed to have crossed the line of trust...

She's just a one-year-old baby!

How should she explain if they ask?

Ugh, this is so frustrating.

Du Yue's eyes lit up—

Yes!

I couldn't refine it myself before, partly because my skill level wasn't high enough, and partly because the recipe for the ten-day cure was quite difficult. Relying solely on my junior sister's advice still left me somewhat flustered and unable to do it.

But things are different now. My junior sister can speak and give guidance. She can also stay by my side to demonstrate. With this guidance and her mental reminders, I might already be able to refine the Ten-Day Elimination Technique!
"I think you can give it a try when you come back," Liu Feng said with a smile. "Then you can have Jiuwei by your side. She's a lucky charm. With her around, there shouldn't be any problems."

“That’s right, just listen to Jiuwei then, maybe you’ll be able to master it?” Meng Ling winked.

Mo Jiuwei blinked... This works?

"Okay, okay!" she readily agreed, puffing out her little chest. "I'll go with Senior Sister Du!"

Du Yue grinned from ear to ear, "Alright, alright, then we'll refine it when we get back. You tell me how to refine it, and we'll do it that way. Let's try our luck!"

With their goal achieved, everyone smiled with great satisfaction.

Only Ling Qing had a slightly strange expression, but he didn't say anything and just quietly meditated.

Cangmingyuan was a very special training ground. It wasn't that it was special in any other way, but rather that the colors of the plants here were quite unique.

No, even the color of the earth!

Looking down from above, all you could see was a grayish-white expanse, like the ashes left after something had burned, giving it an inexplicably melancholic tone.

The soil is gray, the leaves are gray, only the shades of gray differ.

I've heard that even the water in Cangming Lake is gray; that's probably what makes this place unique.

"It really is gray; the rumors are true." Du Yue looked down at the flying boat and couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.
