Two batches of people came, among whom one batch was recognized by Mu Qingge.

  That was the group of people led by Mo Yang who arrived first. As for the other group, although they were not familiar with them, seeing the excited look on Wei Kuo and Wei Qi's faces, they could also guess their identities.

  As expected, when Mo Yang approached, the leader of the group also came forward and said to Wei Qi siblings: "Young Master, Young Miss!"

  Wei Qi and Wei Qianqian dismounted their horses, walked up to him, and respectfully called out to him: "Uncle Zhou." Then the three of them huddled together and started whispering.

  Although I couldn't hear it, Mu Qingge could probably guess that they were talking about what happened after they dispersed.

  Withdrawing her gaze from the Wei family, Mu Qingge looked at Mo Yang and asked: "Is the resting place arranged properly?"

  "Sir, the room and hot water, as well as food, are all ready. However, the flavor of the dishes in this city is a bit sweet, I'm afraid you may not be used to it. I have already sent someone to find a chef from Qin State, and I should receive a reply by tomorrow morning."

  "No need to go to such trouble. Since we've come to Lu Guo, of course we should try the local delicacies. Even if you're not used to eating them, having Young He around makes it all the same." Mu Qing Ge slightly furrowed her brow, thinking that Mo Yang was making a big deal out of nothing.

  He lowered his eyelids, suppressing the emotions in his eyes, and replied obediently: "Yes."

  "Let's go and rest in town." Mu Qing Ge instructed.

  Mo Yang nodded and led his men into Mu Qing Ge's team, preparing to leave.

  "Mu Ge!" Suddenly, Wei Qianqian's voice came, causing Mu Qingge to turn sideways.

  She saw Wei Qianqian quickly running towards her, with Wei Qi and the so-called Zhou Shu behind her. The remaining guards of the Wei Mansion also followed closely.

  Arriving in front of Hei Yan, Wei Juanjuan looked up at Mu Qingge and invited: "Mu Ge, our family has a villa in Yicheng, why don't you come with us?"

  Mu Qing's eyebrows slightly raised, but she didn't immediately refuse.

  At this time, Wei Qi also brought Zhou Shu over and introduced them: "Mu Ge, this is the Guardian General of our Wei Manor, Zhou Shu. Zhou Shu, this is Mu Ge I told you about, who saved me and Quan Quan. They come from Qin Country and are preparing to go to Yu Country's Medicine Tower Branch School."

  This Uncle Zhou, who was over forty years old, had an ordinary appearance, but his eyebrows revealed a hint of loyalty.

  While Mu Qingyu was sizing him up, he was also sizing her up.

  It was love at first sight. He couldn't imagine that the world had such an unparalleled beauty, and it refreshed his understanding of aesthetics.

  At the second glance, he found that none of these people were very old. Such a combination surprised him. Generally speaking, when going out on a long journey, wouldn't families usually send some steady and older members to lead the team?

  The third eye, when he brought his puzzled gaze back to Mu Qing Ge, he noticed the outstanding temperament of this red-clothed young man, that kind of stability and calmness that didn't match his age.

  Until the end, he noticed that Mu Qing's horse was a Yanma, and so were all the others, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had already found the answer to the doubts in his heart.

  This group of people doesn't seem ordinary at all; not only is everyone calm and experienced, but they're also incredibly capable.

  These thoughts flashed through Zhou Shu's mind, but it was just an instant.

  When Wei Qi finished introducing, as he looked at him, he had already recovered normally and also issued an invitation: "Mr. Mu saved our young master and miss, it is a great kindness to the Wei family. The Wei family cannot let their benefactor live outside, why not invite Mr. Mu to go together too, so that we can fulfill the host's courtesy."

  Living in a separate garden of the Wei Mansion is indeed better than staying in an inn where humans and snakes are mixed together.

  Mo Qing thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

  Two groups of people merged into one and marched towards Zuo City in a mighty and majestic manner.

  The Wei Mansion was located within the city walls, it's just that the location was relatively quiet. Therefore, they needed to enter the city and also had to pass through the bustling market of the city wall.

  As a group of people passed by a uniquely styled building with a bustling entrance, Mu Qingge glanced over, but then calmly withdrew her gaze without stopping.

  Weiduo also noticed the building, riding forward on horseback alongside Muxingge, curiously asking: "Muge, aren't you going to Wanjialou? Why did you pass by just now but not go in?"

  "It's okay." Mu Ge replied calmly.

  She's not leaving immediately, what's the hurry? Anyway, if there's news of a fire at Wanxiang Building, it won't run away even if we go a day later.

  Seeing her like this, Wei Kun Kun didn't know what to say either, and could only nod his head in a way that seemed like he understood but actually didn't.

  "After a while, she said: 'The sunflower my mother needs has already been sent back by Uncle Zhou in advance. He stayed behind mainly to wait for us. How long do you plan to stay in Lincheng? Why don't we go together, anyway you have to pass through our Tuo City on your way to Yu State.'"

  Mù Qīnggē thought for a moment, nodded and agreed: "Good." She was indeed curious about the illness of Weì Jiā's brother and sister's mother, wanting to see what kind of difficult and complicated disease had left countless doctors and alchemists at a loss.

  Besides, Wei Jia siblings gave her a good feeling, and their father also made her interested in getting to know him. When going out, making more friends is beneficial.

  Many friends and many roads, this principle was understood by Mu Qing Ge in his past life.

  In her past life, she was able to become No. 1, and it also had a lot to do with her extensive connections. There were many tasks where her friends would secretly cooperate or assist, giving her many advantages and reducing much trouble. As a result, it increased the success rate of her tasks.

  It was just like the last mission, if it wasn't for her having a super hacker friend who was wanted by every country in the world, infiltrating the opponent's system, stealing the complete map and shutting down the system for ten seconds, she wouldn't have been able to steal the gene modifier from there.

  After passing through half of the city, I finally arrived at the Wei family's villa.

  After entering the Bieyuan, Mu Qingge and her people were arranged to rest in a courtyard. The environment of this courtyard was very good, and it was big enough that accommodating more than twenty people did not feel crowded.

  Young lotus and Huayue began to bustle as soon as they entered the courtyard. With the maids from Bieyuan, they started tidying up.

  Mù Qīng Gē was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard waiting, and standing beside her was Mò Yáng.

  As for Wei's siblings, they have each returned to their own rooms to wash up.

  "Did you hear?" Mu Qing Ge asked.

  Mo Yang's tightly pursed lips relaxed, and he said to Mu Ge: "I'm incompetent, these past few days no matter how I investigate, I couldn't get any information about Mu Yi and Feng Niang."

  This result did not make Mu Qingge too disappointed.

  It seems that she had already known that this investigation would make no progress. However, with Fengniang's abilities, the man she married would not be an ordinary person. Two exceptionally talented young couples could not find any traces of their past, which made her curious.

  However, when investigating what strange things happened in Lü Guo ten years ago, he inadvertently discovered that ten years ago, the eldest princess of Lü Guo disappeared mysteriously, and a treasure of Lü Guo also disappeared with her. Mo Yang added.

  "Lu Guo's eldest princess has gone missing?" Mu Qing Ge's eyes narrowed slightly.

  The eldest princess of the State of Lü, will she have any connection with the landlady of an inn in Rakuyo Town, Qin State?

  "Continue searching." With a single order, Mu Qing Ge stopped speaking.

  In Mo Yang's eyes, she had already closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but in fact, she had entered the space and summoned Meng Meng.

  "Master Silver, Master Silver, do you have time to make sugar pills for Momo?" The thumb-sized Momo immediately jumped out and fawned in front of Mu Qing.

  Mochi's mouth twitched violently as she refined her pills, but Mengmeng thought they were sugar candies. Was there no place for reason?

  With a dark face, she ignored Momo's attempts to curry favor and turned into the Alchemy Room.

  In the refining room, it was no longer as simple as before. From the original iron workshop, it became a precision weapon research and development room. The shelves against the wall were filled with Mu Qingge's previous research products, and the floor was also piled with refining materials.

  On the worktable, there were also several books about forbidden techniques, which were important treasures of Mu Qing's unique equipment refinement method.

  At this moment, on the work desk, there was still an object, which was the dagger that came from the transaction with Fengniang, the semi-divine artifact in Mengmeng's mouth.

  She picked up the dagger and played with it in her hand for a while, then suddenly asked Mengmeng: "Why does this dagger have the ability to ignore boundary defenses and ignore seals?"

  Meng Meng, seeing that acting cute was ineffective, was pitifully counting the remaining dan medicine in her belly. Suddenly hearing Mu Qing Ge's question, she lifted a pair of misty big eyes to look at her and pouted: "Meng Meng is hungry."

  Mo Qing's eyebrows jumped slightly, and a cold smile appeared in his heart: "You want to negotiate terms with me?"

  Meng Meng shook her head, saying softly: "Meng Meng didn't discuss conditions with Master Yin, she was just stating facts. Meng Meng is hungry, when she's hungry, she can't remember anything."

  Mu Qing's mouth twitched and he threatened fiercely: "Do you believe me? I'll make sure you never get to take any more elixirs from now on?"

  Meng Meng was taken aback and burst into loud wails. The crying was so intense that tears flowed like a river. While crying, she also complained pitifully: "Master is bad, Master is bad! Only knows how to bully Meng Meng, what did Meng Meng do wrong to Master? Why treat baby like this!"

  Awesome! Unbelievable!

  Momo was staring at Momo, who was wailing and crying, with a dumbfounded expression. This guy, apart from being good at acting cute, actually had such a dark side?!

  Pretending to be a good person to deceive others, it's simply a set of tricks!

  Mo Qingge, who was driven mad by the crying and had a splitting headache, finally couldn't bear it anymore and yelled out: "Shut up!"

  The crying suddenly stopped, Mengmeng bit her lip and held back her tears, looking at her with a quivering expression. Her expression was as if she were some kind of great villain.

  With a sigh of helplessness, Mu Qingge took out a porcelain bottle filled with dan medicine from her bosom and tossed it into Mengmeng's arms.

  Holding the heavy ceramic bottle, Mengmeng burst out laughing, where was the heartbreak from just now? "Master wants to ask what?" Mengmeng immediately leaned in with a smile on her face.

  However, Mu Qing Ge didn't have the mood to ask her about the dagger anymore.

  "Ah! Baby remembered. Master Silver wants to ask why this dagger can ignore boundary defense and sealing. Hmm~, it's not that exaggerated, though. It's just relative." Moe Moe nodded her small head, speaking with a serious tone.

  "What does it mean?" Mu Qing's eyes swept over her body.

  "Oh dear, how can I explain it so that our silly master will understand?" Momo thought for a moment, turning around in circles.

  The "stupid master" in her mouth turned black again.

  Just as Mu Qing wanted to slap the thumb girl in front of her, Meng Meng suddenly turned around and looked at her with a serious face: "Master, actually many problems, after you activate the alchemist bloodline in your body, it will be clear. However, since you asked Baby, Baby still has to answer you, otherwise how can Baby show off his awesomeness!"

  "Less nonsense." Mu Qingge's mouth twitched and he said with a dark face.

  With a cute expression, hands on hips and an air of confidence, she said: "This baby never speaks nonsense!"

  "…." Mu Qingge turned around and was about to leave the space, she no longer intended to get any useful information from Mengmeng.

  However, after turning around, she found that her foot was being pulled, and when she turned to look, she discovered that Mengmeng had somehow fallen onto her feet, tugging at her hem, looking up with a small face, mouth downturned, and a wronged expression.

  His attitude changed too quickly, too unprincipled, but it also made Mu Qingge resigned and sighed. Who let her get stuck with such a person? No matter how much she disliked him, she couldn't separate herself from him anymore.

  "Speak." Mu Qing Ge said coldly.

  Meng Meng nodded busily and replied, "Actually, this dagger can only break through defenses below the Violet Realm. As for seals, it can also remove the lowest level ones. However, if the master can refine it perfectly, perhaps its rank can be increased."

  "What I'm asking is why it has this ability." Mu Qingge gritted her teeth and repeated the previous question.

  "Mengmeng is about to say something, Master, don't interrupt!" Mengmeng said with a frown and pouted lips.

  "...Admiring the gentle song without words."

  Jian Mu Qing Ge stopped talking, and Meng Meng proudly raised her small face: "Why can't everyone be a refiner? It's because only those with the bloodline of a refiner can distinguish the various properties of refining materials. Using the properties of refining materials to create the most suitable equipment is the innate talent of a refiner. This dagger has this ability, it must have been forged with materials that have spatial properties. Whether it's breaking through defenses or dispelling barriers, both are related to space."

  This explanation made Mu Qingge understand.

  She had previously underestimated the bloodline of the Alchemist, thinking that even without activating her bloodline, she could still go far in alchemy with her new invention.

  It wasn't until today that she heard Mengmeng's words and realized that if she didn't activate her bloodline, there would be an essential difference between her and a true alchemist.

  For the first time, the matter of activating the blood vessels rose to the top in Mu Qing's heart.

  She left the space, and her first thought was to go to Wanjialou to inquire about the news of Yihuǒ.

  Although using hetero-fire to activate the blood vessels was a method that Mengmeng found in an ancient book, it wasn't a conventional approach. But now Mu Qingge had no choice but to take the risk.

  Mu Qing wanted to go to the Wanxiang Building, but was stopped by the night and the banquet arranged by the Wei family siblings.

  After savoring a delicious meal of Lu Guo's specialty cuisine, Mu Qing Ge returned to the courtyard where she was temporarily residing with a sweet and satisfied heart, ready to rest.

  As for Wanxiang Building, I can only go there again early tomorrow morning.

  The night was uneventful, and by the time dawn broke, Mu Qingge had already risen early.

  Wei Qi and Wei Qianqian arrived when Mu Qingge was drinking a bowl of clear congee cooked by You He early in the morning.

  Seeing the two of them arrive, Mu Qingge greeted them: "Sit down, have you eaten breakfast? There's still some congee left over from what Yu Hezhao cooked."

  Wei Juanjuan took a look at the clear porridge that was almost transparent and said uninterestedly, "We were going to take you out to try some of Luoguo's famous breakfast dishes, but it seems like you've already eaten."

  "I like to eat light food in the morning."

  Wei Qi sat on the right side of Mu Qing, and Wei Juan also occupied the seat on her left. The two siblings surrounded her, guarding her as she slowly drank the clear porridge in her bowl.

  After she put down her bowl, Wei Juanjuan grabbed her hand and pulled her up: "Come on, let's go out for a walk."

  "Let go!" Wei Qi's fingertips flashed with green light, striking Wei Qianqian's wrist, causing her to cry out in pain and release Mu Qingge's hand.

  "Ah! Die Wei Qi, what are you doing?" Wei Juan Juan covered her wrist and furiously questioned Wei Qi.

  "It's improper for men and women to be intimate." Wei Qi patted his own clothes, showed a toothy smile to Mu Qingge and said: "Mu Ge and I are both men, so we don't need to follow etiquette." After that, he was about to reach out and put his arm around her shoulder.

  "Wei Qi, you dare!" Wei Qianqian immediately swung out a green light, chopping towards her brother.

  The two of them seemed as if they were about to start a fight in Mu Qing's room.

  "That's enough!" Mu Qing Ge shouted coldly. The two immediately reined in their breath, standing obediently to one side and cautiously sneaking a peek at Mu Qing Ge's expression.

  She saw her with a stern face, and the two immediately pushed all the blame onto each other, hurting each other with their eyes.

  "I don't like people getting close to me, whether it's a man or a woman." The warning glance at the siblings, Mu Qingge turned and walked out of the room with a swish of her sleeve.

  Seeing them still stunned, he said: "Didn't you say you were going out?"

  The two of them seemed to have been freed from a trap and rushed out of the room, one on each side guarding Mu Qing Ge as they walked out.

  Seeing their seats being occupied by others, Yuhe and Huayue helplessly looked at each other and smiled.

  As they walked out of the Wei Manor, Mu Qing Ge and her two companions were followed by six or seven more people. In addition to You He and Hua Yue, Mo Yang also came out. The remaining few people were all bodyguards who had been arranged by Zhou Shu to protect the safety of the Wei siblings.

  The aura on these guards is not weak, it seems they are all good hands in the mansion.

  A group of people came to the streets of Weicheng, and both Wei Quanquan and Wei Qi were eager to introduce Mu Qingge to the customs and culture of Ligu. Mu Qingge looked at them while listening to their conversation, and before long, they arrived again in front of the Wanhualou gate.

  It's still early. The entrance of the Wanxiang Building is not as bustling and noisy as it was yesterday, with only a few sparse people walking out from inside.

  "They must be here to do business with Wanxiang Building, selling some good things to Wanxiang Building." Wei Qi explained to Mu Qingge.

  Admire the gentle song and nod gently.

  Several people walked towards the Wanxiang Building, and as soon as they stepped across the threshold, a charming woman came over, leaning forward with a shallow smile: "Welcome, gentlemen and ladies, to the Wanxiang Building. Is there anything I can help you with?"

  Impeccable etiquette makes one feel the guidance of Wanyuan Building is justifiable.

  Just as she raised her head, her gaze passed over Mu Qing's face, and a hint of surprise appeared in those well-trained eyes.

  Fortunately, she did not show a flustered appearance, but quickly gathered the astonishment in her eyes and led everyone into the Wanxiang Building.

  It was her first time at Wanxiang Building, and Mu Qing's eyes casually swept around in a circle.

  I found that it was just a large hall. On the wall directly opposite, there was a large wooden sign clearly written with the services provided on each floor.

  On both sides of the hall, two rows of women with slender figures and beautiful faces stood neatly, seemingly waiting for customers to arrive, just like the woman who had received them.

  "We don't sell anything on the first floor, just post task lists. If young masters and ladies need to buy something, they have to go upstairs, either to the second or third floor." The receptionist said politely.

  Wei Qi nodded and looked at Mu Qing Ge: "We are mainly here to accompany this gentleman, you just need to serve him carefully."

  The woman smiled and looked at Wei Qi with gratitude, then walked to Mu Qingge's side: "What does the young master want? Just tell Lian'er." After speaking, a touch of charming shyness rose on her delicate and beautiful face.

  It was as if she had seen Mu Qing's appearance at a closer distance and was amazed.

  Mo Qing's clear and cold gaze fell on her, as if he hadn't seen her shyness, and nodded: "Then thank you, Miss Lian'er."

  After finishing speaking, the two of them walked towards the high-hanging wooden sign.

  Seeing the two of them walking together intimately, Wei Juanjuan pouted and pinched her brother's arm hard, complaining: "It's all your fault, you brought this flirt to Mu Ge's side."

  Wei Qi dodged her sneak attack and sneered: "Others are just doing their own job, what's it to you?"

  "Hum! You're doing it on purpose. Die, Wei Kuai!" Wei KuoKuo hummed discontentedly.

  The two siblings were bickering, but it didn't affect Mu Qing's mood.

  She looked seriously at the content on the wooden sign and felt that the business model of Wanxiang Building was indeed innovative. Next to the wooden sign, there were many task bars where tasks could be posted and received.

  After listening to Lian'er's introduction, she withdrew her gaze and looked at Lian'er: "I want to ask for some information, I wonder if Miss Lian'er can show the way?"

  Lotus smiled and said softly: "So the young master wants to hear some news, then please follow me." After that, she led everyone upstairs.

  Wanxiang Building Intelligence Trading Office, on the third floor.

  When Lian'er led the crowd to the third floor, there wasn't a single guest inside. There was only one young man sitting behind the high counter, propping his head with his hand and dozing off.

  The arrival of the crowd did not affect his sleep. Lian'er smiled apologetically and quickly walked over, knocking on the table in front of Hou Sheng. At the same time, she explained to Mu Qingge and others: "In the Wanxiang Building of Yicheng, most are transactions of goods or task releases. It's actually rare for people to come and trade information."

  "We did arrive a bit early today." Mu Qing Ge said with understanding.

  This kind of understanding and reasonable attitude suddenly brought back a good impression on Lian'er.

  At this time, the young man behind the counter was also awakened, rubbing his eyes with a dazed expression and muttering: "Sister Lian'er, what's going on?"

  "You're still sleeping at this hour, and customers are already arriving. The boss will surely scold you." Although the words were reproachful, they revealed a hint of doting.

  It seems that Lian'er and the young man named Chu Sheng have a good private relationship.

  Hearing that there were guests coming, he immediately perked up and looked up to see a group of people standing behind the counter.

  Among them, the red-clad figure with a slender and elegant appearance caught his attention. 'What a handsome young man!' Chu Sheng admired in her heart.

  With a traceless withdrawal of his gaze, Chusheng cupped his fists and bowed to the crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, I, Chusheng, was slow earlier and may have offended some of you, please do not take it to heart."

  He is young in years but his speech is extremely mature.

  Mo Qing's nonchalant shake of her head was met with a direct question: "I wonder if the Wanxiang Building has any unusual fires, or perhaps some news about unusual fires?"

  "Yi Huo? Mu Ge, what do you want Yi Huo for?"

  "Are you looking for Mu Ge?"

  Wei Qi and Wei Qianqian, the brother and sister duo, said in unison.

  Mo Qing nodded slightly, but didn't respond to the siblings' confusion, instead looking towards Chu Sheng.

  He slowly rose, unlike Wei's siblings who were shocked, and calmly repeated: "Is the noble guest looking for news about the Strange Fire?"

  Mo Qingge nodded.

  After confirmation, Chu Sheng thought for a moment and said: "I don't know which kind of information the noble guest wants."

  "Oh? There's also a classification?" Mu Qingge was slightly surprised.

  Chu Sheng nodded, explaining: "Yi Huo is a kind of heaven and earth, wanting to know its classification and ranking is one price, wanting to know its origin and effect is another price. If you want to know the news that Yi Huo may exist..." Chu Sheng smiled, continuing: "That's another price."

  There's still so much to say about this.

  Murmuring in his heart, secretly criticizing.

  She found out from Mengmeng that the Xihuo was a kind of fire that existed when heaven and earth were first opened, with few in number and hard to come by. But she didn't know the specifics.

  At this moment, Chu Sheng's words sparked her curiosity. She pursed her lips and thought for a moment before saying, "If I were to get everything I want, what kind of price would I have to pay?"

  Meng Meng understood a lot, but she had been asleep for many years and the information was already somewhat outdated. If it wasn't expensive, she could consider buying all the intelligence.

  "Are all princes like this?!" Chūshō exclaimed in surprise.

  Mu Qingge smiled and said, "As long as there is the Wanxiang Building." The tone was just like that of a wealthy master with a fortune of tens of thousands.

  He nodded his head, then said in a strange tone: "Then please wait for a moment, I'll go and verify the information about the alien fire within the building. After confirmation, I will discuss it with you in detail."

  After Mu Qingge nodded in response, Chu Sheng pulled down the small window on the counter and left.

  It was at this time that Mu Qingge had a chance to take in the decorations on the third floor.

  Actually, there was nothing valuable on the third floor. The entire floor, except for the high counter where the initial elevator was located, was just a rest area consisting of several armchairs.

  On the wall, there were indeed some ink treasures hanging. Written with " Omniscient, knowing without speaking, speaking without finishing, as long as you give money." A few plain words.

  As long as you give money!

  These four words, which were straightforward to the point of being almost rude, caused Mu Qing's mouth to twitch slightly.

  Suddenly, she felt like taking advantage of the opportunity to settle all her family's belongings and see if she could give the price that Wanxiang Building wanted.

  "Sir, have some tea." While waiting, Lian'er has already brought over the tea tray and is inviting everyone.

  Mocheng Ge sat in a rattan chair, sipping tea with his eyes downcast, but in his heart he was calculating what he could take out of his own hands.

  Trading with Wanxiang Lou does not involve fixed currency.

  As long as you can take out something that is equivalent to the Wanxiang Building, you can exchange it.

  Money?

  Doesn't Mu Qingge think that the news of Yi Huo can be bought with money? Moreover, when she left the Mu Mansion, she didn't bring too much silver on her body. It was only Mu Lianrong who gave her 400,000 to 500,000 silver notes on the day before she left.

  This amount of money is enough for her to squander for a long time, but compared with the Wanxiang Building transaction, she feels it's not enough.

  Silver notes are useless, so we can only exchange them for something else.

  What's wrong?

  Martial arts? She herself is quite lacking.

  Refine equipment? Those special weapons she had refined with extraordinary means, she didn't want to take them out at the moment.

  So, there's only Dan medicine left.

  Dan medicine... Mu Qing's heart ached slightly. Although she had refined a lot of dan medicine, most of it had gone into Mengmeng's belly. The rest were some high-grade dan medicines that she had saved from Mengmeng's mouth.

  Outside, a high-grade elixir's price can be called sky-high!

  Can't you use something else to trade for information without hurting her?

  Although it hurts, this is the price of getting flowers. Mu Qingge understood this principle very well.

  After a while, the small window on the counter finally opened again, revealing Xiao Sheng's face. He smiled apologetically at Mu Qing and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting, young master."

  "How?" Mu Qing Ge asked.

  The young man smiled and said: "Master has arrived at the right time. We have news of the strange fire here at Wanxiang Building."

  "We all have!" Mu Qing's eyes sparkled, and her heart beat a few times faster.

  He nodded slightly.

  "What do you want in exchange?" Mu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly.

  She didn't hide her determination to get the exotic fire message, nor was she afraid of the Wanxiang Building's exorbitant prices. It would be best if she could trade peacefully, but if not... even if it meant snatching it by force, she had to get it!

  A faint glint of cold light flashed across Mu Qing's eyes, but it was hidden extremely well.

  "It depends on what you're willing to offer in exchange, then? This kind of information isn't something that can be bought with money." Chu Sheng said with a smile. At the same time, he added: "Don't worry, sir, Wanxiang Tower does business honestly and fairly with everyone."

  "What if we don't want money? What do you want?" Wei Kuan asked straightforwardly.

  He smiled slightly and explained: "Either with something of equivalent value or a message of equivalent value."

  "You think you can just talk your way out of this, but who gets to decide what's equal value? Is it us or is it you? Besides, the value of many things isn't fixed. This rare intel of yours might be priceless to my brother, but that doesn't mean it's something we need here at Wanxiang Tower. Does that diminish its value?" Wei Qi stood up to negotiate on behalf of Mu Qingge.

  Chu Sheng smiled and said: "This question, young master has asked very well. Therefore, the object of transaction still needs to be something that is widely recognized as valuable in the market."

  "After that, Chu Sheng turned his gaze to Mu Qing Ge and said: 'By the way, young master. For other matters regarding the Strange Fire, I can make decisions and trade with you. However, if you're interested in knowing where the Strange Fire is located, then you must complete a delivery task.'"

  "What does it mean?" Mu Qing asked with a flash of her eyes.

  Chū Shēng's face turned red with embarrassment: "Sorry, the information about Xī Huǒ's descent was not originally available at our Wàn Xiàng Tower. Fortunately, when Chū Shēng went to investigate Xī Huǒ-related intelligence earlier, someone happened to exchange the information about Xī Huǒ's descent for a chance to be escorted."

  Someone actually used Xī Huǒ's downfall as a bargaining chip for protection?

  Mu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly as she asked, "Where does the escort start and end? What are the requirements?"

  "Starting from Zhēn City, to Huàn Dū. Departure in three days. The employer's requirement is only safe delivery. At the time of departure, the employer will inform you of the location of the strange fire, and after arriving safely at Huàn Dū, a detailed map will be handed over." Chū Shēng said.

  Is it just safe escort?

  Mo Qing's eyes gleamed with thought.

  Wei Qi also furrowed her brow and said: "The distance between Yucheng and Huandu is not that far, yet he requested an escort. Is it possible that there will be some unexpected danger along the way that we are unaware of?"

  He looked at Mu Qing Ge, waiting for her decision.

  Weidi was quiet at this time and looked at Muxingge quietly.

  The dawn also did not rush, but was patiently waiting.

  After a moment, Mu Qingge raised her eyes, and in the clear pupils, there was a calm tone: "Alright. I'll take this escort mission."

  He raised his eyes and smiled slightly, without saying much. He only asked after Mu Qingge accepted the transaction: "That... young master, do you need any more information about the hetero flame?"

  "Want to? Of course I want to." Mu Qingge's mouth curved into a smile that was not quite a smile.

  In the palm of her hand, a white and clean large gourd bottle fell into her palm. She pulled out the stopper, and a strong fragrance of medicine suddenly filled the air, echoing throughout the third floor.

  People who smell the fragrance of medicine can't help but feel refreshed and invigorated, their spirits lifted.

  Everyone can feel that the dan medicine in Mochi's song is not ordinary!

  "Gongzi, this bottle of Dan medicine..." Chu Sheng's eyes gleamed with intense heat as he stared at the porcelain bottle, as if he couldn't wait to snatch it into his arms.

  Not just him, but others, including the Wei siblings, stared at the bottle with fiery eyes, their necks moving up and down as if swallowing.

  It's likely that everyone present, except for Mu Qingge's two maids and Mo Yang, were shocked by the dan medicine in Mu Qingge's hand.

  Because in third-rate countries, good quality dan medicine is really too rare.

  And besides, such a valuable medicine is usually auctioned off at a high price, how can it be easily obtained?

  Mù Qīng Gē covered the bottle cap amidst everyone's shock, cutting off the diffusion of the fragrance. After the scent dissipated, the dense disappointment and reluctance in everyone's eyes all reflected into hers.

  She slightly curved her mouth and asked Chi Sheng, "Is it enough?"

  Chu Sheng, who had just come back to his senses from the shock, subconsciously wanted to nod, but at a critical moment he came back to himself and asked Mu Qingge: "I wonder what effect this elixir has? And what level of elixir is it?"

  His tone was somewhat urgent, unlike his previous calmness. It can be seen that the impact of Mu Qing's elixir on him was enormous.

  "This elixir can save your life when you're on the verge of death. Even if it can't restore you to your original state, it can still allow you to burst forth with maximum potential in times of crisis, escape danger, and preserve your life after escaping, as well as recover from most injuries. I call it the Nine Lives Reversal Elixir." Mu Qingge played with the porcelain bottle in her hand, her careless tossing motion causing everyone in the room to follow along with bated breath, worried that she might accidentally shatter the bottle.

  "Nine Lives Reversal Dan?!" At first, both eyes suddenly narrowed, and in the dark, they exchanged a glance with Lian'er.

  The latter hastily departed, while the initial ascender remained behind, taking a few deep breaths to calm his breathing, and smiled at Mu Qingge: "Young Master, please wait. The way of Dan medicine is not something that Chu Sheng is proficient in. Let's wait for Lian'er sister to invite the elder from the building to verify the Dan for Young Master."

  Mo Qingge smiled and nodded her head.

  At this time, Wei Qianqian leaned in front of Mu Qingge and whispered: "Mu Ge, do you really want to exchange such a powerful elixir for information?" This elixir, as previously introduced, is not only able to save lives, but also can burst out potential to escape danger. Used at critical moments, it's truly like having an extra life, it's simply against the heavens!

  Anyway, for her, using such a heaven-defying elixir to exchange for some information about the strange fire was really not worth it.

  She gave a faint glance at Wei Juan's tense little face and Mu Qing Ge nodded.

  For her, the clue of the alien fire was more important than anything else, which concerned whether her alchemist bloodline could be opened. To say nothing of exchanging one grain of Jiū Mìng Huízhuǎn Dan, even if it were ten grains, her eyes wouldn't blink once.

  Besides, there are at least fifty of these elixirs left in her space. As a regular supply for the Dragon Tooth Guard, didn't Mo Yang secretly touch his waist under the gaze of those people earlier?

  Jian Mu Qing Ge nodded, and Wei Juan had a look of watching a prodigal daughter staring at her.

  Footsteps suddenly came, and before anyone arrived, a loud voice had already entered everyone's ears: "Who has such a powerful elixir?"

  As soon as the words fell, an old man wearing a white long gown, with a round body and silver hair, rushed in. The speed was so fast that it seemed like he rolled over.

  Lotus followed closely behind him, chasing after him until she was panting for breath.

  "Tan Changlao is that red-clothed young master." Lian'er hastily said.

  The old man's sharp eyes scanned quickly, immediately locking onto the only person wearing red clothes, Mu Qingge. A hint of surprise flashed across his shrewd eyes before they cleared up again, and he walked towards Mu Qingge: "Youngster, is it you who wants to exchange elixirs for information on the Strange Fire?"

  "Not bad." Mu Qing sang a soft tune. The old man's imposing aura, like a stone sinking into the ocean, didn't stir up even a single ripple.

  The old man narrowed his eyes and stretched out a chubby hand: "Hand it over."

  Mo Qing's eyebrows rose slightly as she tossed the porcelain bottle in her hand into his palm, seemingly not paying attention to his attitude.

  As she moved, everyone's heart skipped a beat again, fearing that the porcelain vase would shatter on the ground.

  The old master of Wanxiang Building was also startled by her action, originally stretching out one hand, changed to both hands catching the falling porcelain bottle. The chubby face was so angry that it was puffed up, and the eight-character mustache under his nose almost reached the sky.

  Mu Qing's nonchalant attitude infuriated Dan Changlao. He let out a cold snort, glared at her, and then removed the cork from the bottle.

  At this moment, that kind of refreshing and pleasant fragrance wafted out once again.

  Old Dan's eyes suddenly narrowed, and in the next second, they widened into circles, staring tightly at the bottle mouth.

  He poured the Dan medicine in the bottle into his palm without almost any pause.

  Finally, the crowd waiting with bated breath saw the true face of the Nine Lives Rebirth Dan!

  On the round dan medicine, a faint green mist is emitted, and the fragrance of dan xiang emits visible steam, like smoke and haze. The dan medicine was poured out, and the third layer of dan xiang became even more intense, and people even felt that their own spiritual power was stirring within them.

  "The azure elixir has taken shape, and the fragrance of the dan is complete. This is a high-grade dan medicine! And it's still a top-quality one!" Old Man Dan exclaimed in a low voice.

  In a third-rate country, high-grade elixirs were already the highest level that could be refined. Moreover, those who could refine high-grade elixirs were all old guys who had been immersed in alchemy for dozens or even hundreds of years. Those who could refine high-grade elixirs to perfection were even fewer.

  It's no wonder that Dan Changlao would be so flustered under such rare circumstances.

  He can now only refine intermediate-grade elixirs, among the four levels of inferior, middle, high and top grade, he has just barely entered the top grade of intermediate-grade elixirs.

  The elixir in front of him, its creator, was far beyond him by a whole realm!
