Chapter 189 Spirit Herb

"Thank you all for saving my life!" Mo Qianxun bowed to them.

Tu Shanli exchanged a glance with them and then imitated Mo Qianxun's cupped-hand salute.

"How did you two end up here, and even get struck by lightning? Could it be that you offended that old senior in the cave?" Tu Shanli looked at the two with some curiosity.

Mo Qianxun laughed awkwardly. Could she say that they were only affected by being struck by lightning because they were just caught in the crossfire?
"My companion was called into the cave. We planned to wait for it to come out and go home together. But when we heard your commotion, we were afraid that we had encountered some bad people, so we hid in the trees. We didn't expect the weather to change so suddenly, and then there was thunder." Ling Feng said innocently.

Mo Qianxun nodded in agreement, "That's right, that's exactly it."

“I see. But the weather today is really strange. It was a clear sky with no clouds before, but suddenly it became cloudy. To be honest, we were quite startled. Would you like to try my cooking?” Hua Ling handed the fish she had grilled to Mo Qianxun.

Mo Qianxun gratefully accepted the grilled fish: "Thank you, young master."

"you are welcome!"

"Try it! Don't let Hua Ling's usual carefree and playboy appearance fool you; her grilled fish skills are absolutely superb," ​​Tu Shanli said with a smile.

"Is that so? Then I'll have to savor it properly." Mo Qianxun said, taking a small bite of the fish.

The fish was delicious; I don't know how it was made, but it had absolutely no muddy taste. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside—truly excellent. If it had a little more seasoning, it would have been even better.

"It's really delicious. I didn't expect that someone as refined as you could cook such a good grilled fish."

"That's right, I'm a good man who can be both elegant in the living room and skilled in the kitchen, capable in both literary and martial arts, and can cook well." Hua Ling was so pleased with Mo Qianxun's praise that she almost wagged her tail.

Mo Qianxun nodded: "He is indeed a good man."

Ling Feng immediately became alert. Could it be that Mo Qianxun had some kind of idea about this peacock?

Ling Feng replaced the fish in Mo Qianxun's hand with the one he had grilled himself: "Mine has seasonings on it, so it should taste better. Try this one." I'm good at everything, from formal occasions to cooking, I'm capable in both literary and martial arts, and I can cook. Who wouldn't be a good man? And yet I still think I can win her favor.

If Chen Min and the others were here and saw Ling Feng's actions, they would definitely say: "Wow, Ling Feng, you're so jealous! You actually got jealous!"

Ling Feng: Vinegar? That stuff is sour, I don't like it at all. I only ate it to protect Mo Qianxun from being deceived by the people of this other world.

Mo Qianxun: So? Do you think I'm someone who's so easily fooled? You're underestimating me.

Ling Feng: I was just having a normal suspicion.

Hua Ling looked at the grilled fish that Ling Feng had snatched away, and suddenly thought of something, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes.

"You just said that your companion was called in by that old senior? That's not surprising. That old guy has been in seclusion for over a thousand years, and this is the first time he's called someone in. Could it be that your companion has caught his eye?" Dongfang Shuo found it rather strange.

"Over a thousand years?" Wouldn't you be bored to death after being in seclusion for so long?
“Yes, that senior was once a powerful figure, but later, for some reason, he went into seclusion, and that seclusion lasted for over a thousand years, ignoring worldly affairs.” Tu Shanli shook his head.

Mo Qianxun and Ling Feng exchanged a glance. They felt that the old man's condition looked somewhat familiar. Mo Qianxun suddenly covered her mouth, looked at Ling Feng, and whispered in his ear, "Oh no, I forgot to tell Hai Li about her ancestor."

"Do you need to remind me? I already told her. Don't worry, it's fine." Ling Feng patted her shoulder.

That evening, Hai Li was about to come and find Mo Qianxun, but he stopped her. He told Hai Li about Xuan Mo's situation, and although Hai Li was somewhat incredulous and saddened after hearing it, she still accepted it.

The next day, for some reason, he left without saying a word.

Hai Li: I'd like to too, but this is such a big matter, I need to hurry back and tell my father, otherwise he'll be sending people all over the world looking for our ancestor.

Hearing Ling Feng's reply, Mo Qianxun breathed a sigh of relief: "Just tell her."

"Would you two like to come with us?" Hua Ling moved closer to Mo Qianxun, gently waving her feather fan, looking at the two of them with the air of a refined young gentleman... but actually, it was mainly Mo Qianxun.

“We won’t go with you guys. We need to wait for our companions to come out so we can go home together.” Ling Feng refused almost without thinking.

Mo Qianxun then looked at Tu Shanli, who appeared the most composed among them, and asked, "Young Master, do you know of any spiritual plant that can be used to neutralize the effects of medicinal pills?"

"Why do you ask that, young lady?"

"Here's the thing, I have an older brother. He's just an ordinary person, and his legs were crippled in an accident. We found a formula that can restore his legs, but the medicinal effects of the spiritual plants are too strong. I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand the pain involved, so I'm looking for a way to neutralize the effects, so that the medicinal effects are not lost, but the ordinary person can take it without suffering too much."

Tu Shanli was silent for a moment: "This kind of spiritual plant sounds somewhat familiar."

"Isn't that the Spirit Herb? You didn't even remember that?" Hua Ling rolled her eyes.

"The Spirit Herb?" There's hope.

“Well, based on your description, the most suitable one is the Spirit Herb. The Spirit Herb is an indispensable spiritual plant in some high-grade pills. It is used to neutralize some spiritual plants with strong and domineering effects. The pills made from it can not only double the effect, but also have no side effects. Moreover, when the medicinal effect takes effect, the consumer will not experience that excruciating pain.” Hua Ling looked at the campfire. “However, it seems that you have come at a bad time.”

"What do you mean? Does it mean that the herb is not in season?"

Did they miss the ripening season for Pheretima?
“No, in earlier years, the Spirit Herb might not have been considered so precious, which led some alchemists to use it without restraint. Now, it can hardly be seen anywhere except on Lingyue Island.” Hua Ling sighed.

Mo Qianxun frowned slightly: "Where is Lingyue Island?"

“Lingyue Island is very far from here. Even at full speed, it would take a month. If you were to fly on a sword without rest, it would take half a month.”

"Yes, it really is quite far!" Is there really no other way?
Ling Feng patted her shoulder. He knew that she wanted to heal her brother's leg but didn't want him to suffer so much. However, some things really can't be forced.

Mo Qianxun rested her chin on her hands, looking at the campfire. If only she still had a teleportation talisman.

"By the way, do you know how far Zhang'e Mountain is from here?"
