"What trial task?"
Zhao Nanxing also felt somewhat inexplicable.
It's said that if there were experimental tasks, they should have been announced a long time ago. Why is it so sudden this time?
Zhao Nanxing thought for a moment and said to Lou Chuangbai: "Master, it seems that this trial task is not simple."
Luo Chuanbo nodded in agreement: "I think so too." After that, he looked at Mu Qingge with a meaningful glance.
Mo Qing smiled faintly and thought it didn't matter anyway.
Lou Chuanbai said to the four of them with a calm expression, "This trial can only be participated by intermediate dan masters and above. The task is to enter the depths of the Mystic Dream Forest and find a medicinal herb called Huan Yue Ya."
"Huan Yue Ya?" Mei Zi Zhong was the first to express his surprise, "Isn't Huan Yue Ya only found near Moon Lake? To obtain Huan Yue Ya, don't we have to go to the deepest part of the Mystic Dream Forest?"
Luo Chuanbai nodded: "Although the Misty Dream Forest is famous for its medicinal herbs, it's not without spiritual beasts lurking about. Going this deep in is already a test for you all. Moreover, I'm worried there might be other dangers."
Although he spoke in a veiled manner, all four people present understood him clearly.
It's likely that this trial is a conspiracy against Mu Qingge. What he can't get, he'd rather destroy than let others have, that's Huacangtu's way of doing things.
In the past, Lou Chuanbo and he competed for disciples, but this time was different. Mu Qingge's talent was unprecedented, and she had also obtained a treasure from the Lingzhi Tower. How could such a talented person be let go?
There is a secret that even Lao Gan Ma doesn't know.
That is to say, if Huacang wants to return to the General Institute, he must either be promoted to a Ling-level Dan Master or have a disciple who can take him back with his strength.
He has been focusing on breaking through himself all these years, but still can't touch the barrier of a spiritual level dan master. The appearance of Mu Qingge gave him new hope.
So if Mu Qingge can't be used by him, he'd rather destroy her!
His extreme personality was also one of the reasons he was transferred to a branch office in the first place. It wasn't because of his exceptional abilities, but rather due to his extreme personality, which led to him being ostracized by many people.
"Be careful, Mugua." Lou Chuanbai said seriously.
"Don't worry, there are many people who want me dead, but no one has ever succeeded."
Lao Chuanbo shook his head in disapproval: "You mustn't be too confident. They know how deadly your poison skills are, so they'll definitely take precautions. The same trick might not have the same effect."
"I know." Mu Qing Ge didn't elaborate either.
Luo Chuan Bo Si thought for a while and still didn't feel at ease, so he said to the other three people: "You all admire Shifu's younger brother, but you haven't been in the sect for long and don't understand many things. This trial didn't say whether or not we can form teams, so when the time comes, you few just follow your admired Shifu's younger brother as one team."
"Yes, Master."
"Yes, Master!"
"Yes, Master!"
Mei Zi Zhong, Zhao Nan Xing and Shang Zi Su answered in unison without any hesitation.
Mu Qingge opened his mouth, wanting to refuse, but was stopped by the irresistible gaze cast over by Lou Chuanbai.
These people were genuinely concerned about her safety.
This made Mu Qingge feel the friendship between fellow disciples for the first time.
This feeling is not bad.
"Whatever, if there's any danger, I'll just block it then." Mu Qing Ge compromised in her heart.
"Alright, you all go back and rest now. Tomorrow morning is the start of the trial. In any case, safety comes first, whatever tasks are not as important as your safety." Lou Chuanbai shook his sleeves and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Four people were left standing in place, Mei Zizhong glanced at a few people and said: "I'll go prepare some things." After speaking, he turned around, his clothes fluttering like smoke and fog as he left.
Shang Zisu also looked at Mu Qingge and Zhao Nanxing: "I'll go prepare some things too."
After the two left, Zhao Nanxing smiled and asked Mu Qingge: "Where is Master Mu going?"
Mu Qingge smiled and said: "Brother Zhao, are you still worried that someone would dare to make a move on me in the Medicine Tower?"
"The mind of a treacherous person cannot be judged by ordinary standards." Zhao Nanxing's smile was like a spring breeze, as warm and gentle as jade bamboo.
Mu Qing Ge smiled and said: "I want to go back to the original tree house."
"Anyway, preparations are already underway, and Shixiong and Zisu have gone to take care of them. I don't have anything else to do, so I might as well accompany Shidi on this trip." Zhao Nanxing said.
Mo Qingge nodded, which was equivalent to agreeing.
The two left Lou Kuanbai's residence side by side and headed towards the Tree House District.
On the road, people who saw Mu Qingge were all secretly pointing and discussing, as if they were talking about her previous refusal to accept Luo Dashi's apprenticeship, and now she had become Luo Dashi's apprentice.
Some people even maliciously speculated that Master Lou had secretly promised her some benefits, which made her change her mind.
All the way, listening to these people's gossip, Zhao Nan Xing secretly observed Mu Qing Ge's expression. Until they entered the tree house area, he said: "Younger brother, don't mind what those people say."
"Brother Zhao, don't worry about it. If I were to bother with these rumors, wouldn't I be exhausted?" Mu Qingge said jokingly.
Zhao Nanxing's slightly furrowed brow suddenly relaxed: "As long as Master Mur doesn't get affected, I'm at ease."
"No, actually they didn't say anything wrong." Mu Qingge said with a hint of meaning. She indeed had some agreements with Lou Chuanbai, just not the kind that others imagined.
Zhao Nanxing was taken aback, seemingly not understanding the meaning behind Mu Qingge's words.
Seeing him like this, Mu Qingge knew that Lou Chuanbai had not told his apprentice the content of their conversation, so he didn't say much and just smiled it off.
Arriving at the tree house, the Wei siblings had already gone to the medicine field.
In the ten-room tree house, only Fow Tianlong and Shui Ling were present.
Mo Qingyu went directly to Fow Tianlong's room, while Zhao Nanxing stood guard outside, seemingly admiring the scenery of the tree house.
Shuǐ Líng came out to make tea for him and didn't return to her room, instead staying outside with him.
Mocheng Ge told Fow Tianlong in the dragon house that he was going to try out in the Misty Forest. "This trial requires a mid-level or higher dan god level. Originally, Shuiling also had the qualifications, but this trial may not be simple, so she doesn't need to go and join in the excitement. Also, Feng Yuguang is being held in the water prison, but with his personality, he will definitely not wait passively, maybe he will think of a way to come out early, you should be careful to guard against him. In short, before I return, try to avoid conflicts between you two."
Feng Yun's expression turned serious as he asked, "Last time you said you were waiting for someone. Who is it? Can they take in Feng Yu?"
Mo Qingge fell silent for a moment, her eyes narrowing slowly as she spoke in an extremely slow tone: "Feng Yu's identity as the prince of Lu Guo is his greatest protective charm. If you want to confront him head-on and kill him, it will provoke retaliation from Lu Guo. We may not be afraid, but we must think carefully whether it's worth opposing a country for the sake of Feng Yu. That person will shatter Feng Yu's beautiful dreams, leaving him no time to care about the conflict between you two. Rest assured, he will ultimately meet his demise!"
Lu Chen was dazed and listened quietly for a long time before nodding stiffly.
"Are you the young chief of the Hu tribe? The Hu tribe is already a major tribe in the country of Ba, and it's said that the current great shaman of Ba is also from the Hu tribe?"
Fu Tian Long didn't know why Mu Qing Ge asked this, but he still nodded and said: "The Ba country is different from other countries. It's a place where each tribe governs itself. However, when sending envoys to other countries, they will also use the name of the Ba country. Every four years, a great shaman is elected from among the various tribes as the highest authority for the Ba country's diplomacy. The current great shaman is indeed a person from our Hu tribe, and he is also my uncle."
"It's settled then." Mu Qingge smiled and said, "Wait for my news, at that time you'll have to write a letter to your uncle and give Feng Yugu a big gift."
Mo Qingyu's words were extremely vague, and Fow Tianlong listened with a confused expression, but still nodded in agreement.
After finishing talking with Fow Tianlong, Mu Qingge walked out and saw Zhao Nanxing and Shui Ling chatting quite well, so she walked over.
"Water spirit." Murmured Qing softly.
She turned around with a pure and beautiful smile: "Muge!"
Mocheng Ge walked up to her and said in a low voice, "I'll be leaving for a few days. You and Fow Tianlong take care of yourselves and pay attention to your diet. Also, tell the Wei family siblings that they should stay in the medicine field during these days and not wander around."
The other's sinister intentions made her have to think twice.
Shui Ling nodded slightly, as if she too had sensed something unusual in Mu Qing Ge's words.
After leaving the tree house, Zhao Nanxing said to Mu Qingge: "Is Mu Shixiong worried that they will be implicated?"
"It's not impossible, given his nature." Mu Qing said with a hint of a smile.
Zhao Nanxing nodded slightly, almost imperceptibly, and said to her: "If it's because of Mu Shidi's concerns, I'll send someone to secretly take care of things. I'll also mention it to Shifu, so he can pay attention to any movements over there."
"Thanks for your trouble," Mu Qing said. If it weren't for the fact that one couldn't bring their own followers into the Medicine Tower, she wouldn't have been so passive.
Shui Ling has Futiendragon's protection, and Weijia siblings' strength is not weak either. However, what she needs to guard against is the opponent's sinister move.
Anyway, they all got implicated by her.
If she hadn't caught Xuan Yuan's attention and hadn't accumulated grievances with Feng Yu, they wouldn't have been dragged into this matter.
"Zhao Shixiong, if you want someone's reputation to be ruined and be expelled from the Medicine Tower, is there a way?" Mu Qingge suddenly asked.
Zhao Nanxing was taken aback, sizing up Mu Qingge for a few moments before his eyes curved into a smile like a crescent moon: "It's easy to handle, as long as he offends the rules of the Medicine Tower."
"For example?" Mu Qingge hooked her lips and smiled lightly.
Zhao Nanxing thought for a moment before answering, "For example, he stole the elixir from the Cang Dan Tower. For example, he killed the disciples of Yao Ta in public. Again, for example, he cheated during the Dou Dan competition. And again, for example, he colluded with outsiders to do things that were detrimental to Yao Ta."
Mo Qing looked at him and saw a starlight-like cunning in his warm and jade-like eyes.
She smiled even more at the corners of her mouth and bowed with a fist: "Thank you, brother, for your guidance."
Zhao Nanxing smiled and said, "You're being too polite, little brother."
Mo Qing sang and he exchanged a glance, an unspoken understanding arose between them.
She smiled and said to Zhao Nanxing: "Brother, I'm going to Danfang Hall, would you like to come with me?"
Zhao Nanxing immediately shook his head with a bitter face: "I've been to that place many times, and I've seen all the floors below the fourth floor. Unfortunately, my brother's talent is not enough, and he can't reach the fifth floor. If you go there, it will be a waste of time. If you want to take pity on your brother, why don't you just copy some high-level pill recipes for him?"
"Got it." Mu Qingge responded with a smile.
After bidding farewell to Zhao Nanxing, she headed towards Danfang Pavilion. Today, she wanted to take a look at what kind of ancient books were placed on the seventh floor.
Entering Dan Fang Guan, Mu Qing Ge directly headed towards the seventh floor.
As for those Dan Fang that Zhao Nan Xing wanted, they had long been engraved in Mu Qing Ge's mind. After returning, she would simply write a few for him.
Arriving at the seventh floor, before even entering, Mu Qing felt a powerful force blocking her approach.
Mu Qingge lifted her foot, feeling that her feet were several points heavier than usual, and her body was as if it had been injected with lead water, becoming dull and clumsy.
"Sure enough, it's forbidden!" Mu Qingge's eyes narrowed slightly.
Bang!
The footsteps fell heavily and made a dull sound on the stairs.
Mochizuki raised his other foot again, approaching the seventh floor at an extremely slow pace.
Half an hour later, she finally stood at the entrance of the seventh floor.
She raised her hand, spread out her five fingers and pushed inward, a transparent light shield appeared under her palm.
No matter how hard she tried, the light shield would push her out with the same force.
She furrowed her brow and Mu Qingge didn't rush in again, but instead thought of a way to get in.
After a moment's thought, a gleam of inspiration flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her crimson lips curled up slightly.
At this time, no one would appear at the entrance of the seventh floor, and the top floor of Dan Fang Hall was eerily quiet. Mu Qing Ge stood outside the seventh floor, with a powerful spiritual consciousness overflowing from her brow, spreading out in all directions like countless tentacles.
Gradually, her whole body was enveloped by spiritual awareness, and it even extended to the transparent light cover on the door.
Suddenly, Mu Qingge opened her eyes, and the clear pupils had a hint of chill.
At this moment, it seemed as if there was only reason in her eyes, without a hint of human emotion.
Mu Qingge lifted her foot and stepped into the doorway.
The previous obstructive force did not appear, allowing her to easily step inside.
She took another step forward, and her entire body passed through the transparent light curtain, entering the seventh floor.
It wasn't until she had entered the seventh level that the released spiritual consciousness receded like a tide, returning to her brow.
At this time, her icy eyes seemed to have regained a hint of human warmth.
She raised her hand and touched her brow, muttering to herself: "It seems that after absorbing that light sphere, my spiritual consciousness has become somewhat different. If the previous spiritual consciousness was like a newborn baby, then now it's like a toddler who has just started learning to walk."
Muxiang's clear perception of the change in her spiritual awareness left her with an unfulfilled aftertaste, causing her to smack her lips: "Such a great thing, it wouldn't be bad if it happened a few more times! No wonder Xuan Yuan was so obsessed with that light sphere."
End the thoughts in your mind, and Mu Qingge will have time to carefully examine this mysterious seventh layer.
The seventh floor is not large, and there are few bookshelves, even fewer books stored.
Mu Qingge walked over and casually picked one out.
Suddenly, her eyes narrowed and she blurted out: "Toxic Classics!"
Then she pulled out several more books, all of which were detailed explanations of poison.
There are introductions to all toxic substances in the world, as well as analyses of various toxins, and even prescriptions for poisonous elixirs.
Mo Qing sang shockingly!
She never thought that on this seventh floor, it was actually about the refining of poison.
It occurred to her what Song Yu had said before, that anyone in the top ten of the human rankings would have a chance to enter the seventh layer. Mu Qing Ge suddenly seemed to understand why Xie Yuan could produce the broken spirit elixir, that kind of vicious medicine.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, Mu Qingyu quickly searched for him on the seventh floor.
Soon, she found the formula for Polong Dan on a bookshelf.
The seventh floor of the Danfang Building actually hid the data of poisonous elixirs, which was indeed beyond Mu Qing's expectations. Before this, she hadn't thought about it from this direction and hadn't asked others either, so naturally no one would tell her what was hidden on the seventh floor.
However, looking at Mei Zizhong and several others, as well as Duan Yuan's reaction, it seems that only Duan Yuan truly attaches importance to this seventh layer of things.
For someone like Mei Zizhong, it's probably beneath him to resort to such despicable tactics.
Others have nothing to do with him, at least he won't use poison to plot against others.
Mo Qing Ge can't say he's stubborn because everyone has their own principles they want to adhere to.
After the shock in her heart gradually dissipated, Mu Qingge began to retrieve the hidden books from the seventh floor. To her, whether it was a Dan formula or a poison formula, they were all the same.
Kung fu is neither good nor bad; it depends on the person's heart.
Admiring the moonlight, it's just one day.
When she closed a book, she sighed and muttered: "Puppet Dan!"
This puppet pill is extremely poisonous. In Mu Qing's view, it looks more like a kind of Gu technique. Because in the pill, there is a special worm hidden. After taking the pill, the worm will drill out and enter the brain, using the brain marrow as its food, controlling people's will and thinking. Letting the person who took the pill completely follow the orders of the poisoner, like a puppet.
This poison is extremely toxic, but it has piqued Mu Qing Ge's interest.
When leaving Danfeng Building, it was already late in the day.
Mù Qīng Gē headed towards the area where Lóu Chuān Bǎi lived, but didn't expect to almost be knocked into by a figure that suddenly rushed out halfway.
"Zhu Shi Jie!" Under the moonlight, Mu Qing Ge looked at the person's face and exclaimed in surprise.
At this moment, Zhu Ling looked a bit disheveled, her face pale and her expression flustered. She raised her eyes to look at Mu Qing Ge, and the desperate eyes immediately lit up with surprise: "Mu Shidi save me!"
Mu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly as she asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhu Ling glanced around and said urgently to Mu Qing Ge, "This is not a place for conversation, take me away first."
Mo Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of light, and she nodded without asking further.
However, Zhulian said: "Don't take me to see Zisu, I'm afraid...I'm afraid..."
She wanted to say something but stopped, Mu Qingge faintly replied: "I know." Then, she took Zhu Ling and disappeared from the scene, returning to the nearest Dan Fang Guan.
At this time, there was no one else in Danfang Building, which could be considered a safe place.
Mochida brought Zhulian to the fourth floor and put her on the ground before asking: "Sister Zhu, what's wrong with you?"
Zhu Ling leaned weakly against the bookshelf behind her, with cold sweat wetting her temples. She revealed a bitter smile and didn't directly answer Mu Qing's question, but instead said: "Mu Shidi, can you help me with one more thing?"
Mu Qingge's impression of Zhu Ling was still quite good, so she didn't refuse outright.
Her silence allowed Zhu Ling to see a glimmer of hope.
She propped her hands on the ground, leaned forward, and looked up at Mu Qing with a pleading expression: "Mu Shidi, you are a high-level alchemist, can you go to the top floor and help me find a Dan formula?"
"What's Danfeng?" Mu Qingge furrowed her brow slightly.
Zhu Ling bit her lip, and the pale lip was bitten with a few points of blood. Her voice cooled down a few degrees, revealing hatred: "The antidote formula for the Puppet Dan."
"Kuǐ lěi Dān?" Mù Qīng Gē was somewhat surprised.
Her reaction excited Zhu Ling: "Does Mu Shidi know?"
Mo Qingyu nodded slowly: "I just came down from the seventh floor."
Zhu Ling was taken aback, and suddenly admired: "Mu Shidi is indeed a talented person, and can actually enter and exit the seventh layer freely." Her previous request was nothing more than hoping that Mu Qing Ge would think of a way to get into the seventh layer once, but she didn't expect that the latter had already been there.
"Since you know what the Puppet Pill is, I won't hide it from you either." Zhu Ling leaned back against the bookshelf, revealing a miserable smile as she slowly said: "I was fed the Puppet Pill."
Mo Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and her lips slowly pursed together.
Zhu Ling's voice was weak as he said, "Junior brother knows what the Puppet Pill is, so you must already know its effects. Now, I've used medicine to put the strange insect in the pill to sleep, and for the time being, there's no great harm. But I also don't know how long I can hold on, when I'll lose my rationality and become someone else's puppet."
"So you didn't let me take you to see Shang Shi Jie, is it because you're afraid that the suppressing Dan medicine might lose its effect, and you would end up harming her? And by letting me help, are you thinking of finding an antidote to refine and detoxify yourself?" Mu Qing Ge said.
Zhu Ling nodded slowly.
She said with a complex expression: "I don't want to be a puppet, nor do I want to harm Zisu. If the poison can't be cured, I'd rather ask my junior brother to kill me and give me a quick death. So as not to be used by scoundrels and do things that go against my will."
Who would have thought that Zhulian was still such a passionate woman!
Mu Qingge slowly squatted down and said to Zhu Ling, "I've seen the prescription for Puppet Dan, so I naturally know how to crack it. Sister, don't worry too much."
"You're really serious!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Ling's heart became excited.
Mù Qīng Gē nodded seriously and said in a low voice, "You first tell me what's going on? Who gave you the puppet pill?"
Zhu Ling's eyes filled with hatred, and she said in a tone of unbearable pain: "Who else could it be besides Xuan Yuan?" As she spoke, she let out a despairing laugh: "But I know that the puppet pill was refined by Master."
Mo Qingge understood.
Giving Zhu Ling such a poisonous elixir is likely related to Xie Yuan and Hua Cangtu.
But ——
"Why?" Mu Qingge asked.
Zhu Ling forced a smile and said in a gentle tone, "Yesterday when I came back, I was going to investigate the situation. I was worried that Xie Yuan would go looking for trouble with Zi Su. But I didn't expect that Xie Yuan would be called away by...by Hua Cang Shu."
Mentioning Huacai again, Zhu Ling's eyes flashed with a hint of determination, and he no longer addressed him as Master.
"I was waiting outside until Yuan came out. At that time, he warned me, but I didn't take it seriously. But unexpectedly, this morning he suddenly came to find me and said he hoped I would go with Zisu to form a team for the trial. I felt strange at the time, as everyone knows that Zisu and I are on good terms, but Yuan has always disliked us being together, so why would he suddenly make such a request? I refused him at the time, and he didn't say much, just took out a pill and said it was newly refined, asking me to try some. I didn't suspect anything, but unexpectedly he took advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on me, subdued me, and fed me the Puppet Pill." By this point, Zhu Lian's face had twisted into a scowl.
She's probably had some unpleasant experiences during that time and doesn't want to talk about them.
Mo Qing's gaze swept lightly over her disheveled clothes, and he already had some suspicions in his heart.
"I desperately resisted and escaped, only to hear him maniacally laughing behind me, saying that I couldn't escape his grasp and would eventually return to his side obediently, listening to his orders." Zhulian said, as if she had lost all her strength.
"What does he want to do?" Mu Qing Ge asked.
Zhu Ling shook her head: "He didn't say. But what good thing could it be? Although he hides very deeply, I know he has been secretly in love with Zi Su for a long time. Moreover, he is extremely jealous of Master Mei, and may use me to achieve some unmentionable purpose."
Mo Qingge pursed her lips in thought.
It seems that this time, Xuan Yuan wants to get rid of all the people he dislikes at once.
Giving Zhu Ling the puppet pill was probably also to take advantage of her friendship with Shang Zisu, easily enter their team and give a fatal blow at critical moments.
Such tricks, Mu Qing easily guessed eight or nine out of ten.
She looked at Zhu Ling and said: "The Puppet Dan is a high-grade elixir, so you think it was refined by your master Huacang?"
Zhu Ling nodded vigorously, biting her lip: "It's not a guess, it's certain. I've seen the puppet pill that Hua Cangtu researched for a period of time. Even if Xun Yuan is formidable, he wouldn't be able to steal it from him, so it must be Hua Cangtu giving instructions in secret. Hua Cangtu has been fighting with Master Lou for many years, and now the date for selecting people to send medicine to the General Institute is approaching. If they can severely injure Master Lou, it would be an absolute motive for Hua Cangtu."
"Do you know the antidote for Puppet Dan? Can you refine high-grade elixirs?" Mu Qing Ge asked.
Zhu Ling lowered her eyes and said softly, "I originally wanted to break into the seventh layer, find the Dan Fang, and ask Mei Shixiong or Lou Dashi to refine it. If the refining is unsuccessful, I would rather die at Mei Shixiong's hands. But unexpectedly, now that I've met Mu Shidi, this is my good fortune. I don't know if the medicinal power can continue to suppress the awakening of the alien insect, if I wait until the antidote is ready, please, Mu Shidi, kill me."
"I can give you an antidote." Mu Qing Ge said suddenly.
"What!" Zhu Ling raised her head, looking at her with tears in her eyes.
She had thought of asking Mu Qingge to help her refine the elixir, but couldn't find a reason to open her mouth and ask.
But I didn't expect them to bring it up themselves.
"I can help you detoxify, but you also have to promise me one thing." Mu Qing Ge said again.
Zhu Ling propped up her weak body and said to Mu Qingge, "Mu Shidi, you say it, not just one thing, but ten things, a hundred things, I'll do them all for you!"
Mu Qing shook her head gently: "No need, you just have to agree to one thing."
"Good!" Zhu Lian was also a straightforward person and didn't dwell on this issue.
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Ling suddenly covered her head with both hands and cried out in pain.
She fell directly to the ground, her body curled up, in agony, banging her head violently against the floor, as if she wanted to crack it open.
Mo Qing's eyes gleamed with a fierce light, knowing that the alien insect had awakened.
Without thinking twice, Mu Qingge directly knocked Zhu Ling unconscious to prevent her from continuing to harm herself. At the same time, she also took out a pellet of medicine from her bosom and gave it to her to take.
This pellet of medicine cannot detoxify, but it can calm down the alien insect. The anesthetic effect in it can suppress the alien insect.
"It seems I need to hurry up and refine the antidote." Murong Qingge muttered to herself.
Now she was fortunate that the books in the seventh floor, although they were all poisonous, also had antidotes attached. Otherwise, at this moment she really wanted to consider whether to perform a craniotomy to save Zhu Ling.
Zhu Ling had fainted, and Mu Qing Ge carefully laid her down before flashing into the space to refine an antidote according to the puppet pill's recipe.
Once again, she was very satisfied with the unlimited supply of space medicine.
That night, Mu Qingge did not return to her residence.
This made Lou Chuanbo worried, and even Mei Zi Zhong and Shang Zisu, who had finished collecting herbs, became anxious. In the end, it was Zhao Nanxing who said that Mu Qingge had gone to Danfang Hall, perhaps getting so engrossed in reading books that she forgot about time, which made them feel a bit more at ease.
One night passed, and dawn broke.
Lao Chuanbo couldn't wait any longer for Mu Qingge to appear, and he could no longer hold back his patience. He said to Mei Zizhong and Zhao Nanxing: "You two go to Danfang Hall and bring your junior brother back."
As the departure time for the trial was approaching, Mei Zizhong and Zhao Nanxing also nodded, preparing to go find Mu Qingge.
Just as they turned around, Mu Qingge walked back from outside.
"Shi Di is back." Shang Zi Su said calmly.
Mei Zi quickly glanced at Mu Qing and saw that she was fine, and the tension in her eyes gradually dissipated.
Zhao Nanxing walked quickly to Mu Qingge and asked: "Younger brother, you didn't return for the whole night, did you worry Master to death?"
Mo Qingge smiled slightly and walked in front of Lou Chuangbai, who was staring at her: "I was reading a book in Danfang Hall and lost track of time. Fortunately, I rushed back in time."
"Hmm." Lou Chuanbo hummed, scolding: "Studying is also important, but you must pay attention to your body. You knew that the trial was starting today, yet you didn't rest well last night, how can you have energy now?"
"The disciple knows he was wrong." Mu Qing Ge said obediently.
But Lou Chuanbai was furious and said: "Do you know anything? I think you're just listening with your ears, but you won't take your master's words to heart."
He then turned to Mei Zuo, Zhong and San and said: "Your junior brother didn't rest last night. When the trial begins, you all should be more careful and not go too deep today. Let him rest well before proceeding."
"Understood, Master." Mei Zi replied with a bow.
"Alright, alright, let's go! It's painful to watch!" Lou Chuanbai waved his sleeve impatiently.
The four of them bid farewell and left, heading towards the gathering place for the trial.
On the road, Mu Qingge looked at Mei Zizhong and Shang Zisu. The two of them said they would prepare some things yesterday, but there were no packages on their bodies, and it was unknown whether they had prepared or not.
Or do they also have space containers?
Before long, the four of them arrived at the gathering place for the trial. This was on the outskirts of the Mystic Dream Forest, and just one more step would take them into the Mystic Dream Forest.
When they arrived, there were already many people waiting here.
"Master Mei, Master Zhao, Master Shang, Master Mu!"
"Master Mei!"
"Brother Zhao!"
"Business sister!"
"Admiring younger brother!"
"Admiring younger brother!"
As soon as the four of them appeared, greetings could be heard from all around.
Especially when they saw Mu Qing, the tone of the crowd was filled with a few more inquiring notes. It seemed that this new popular king of the Medicine Tower made them very curious.
Many young disciples admired Qing Ge and Mei Zi Zhong standing together with Zhao Nan Xing, the beautiful scene made them excited, their movements and expressions became shy.
Fortunately, there was Shang Zisu, this iceberg-like figure, which made those female disciples dare not get too close.
Plum blossoms flutter like fairies, as if they would never stop their gaze on the mortal world. Shang Zisu is cold and quiet, isolated from the world. Zhao Nanxing is warm and jade-like, standing tall like bamboo, responding to all questions with gentle nods.
Mo Qing's appearance was that of a carefree and unruly young man, with an air of playing the world without reverence, yet not making people feel distant.
The four of them walked through the crowd and found a less crowded place to stand.
Not far from them was a group of people led by Di Yuan.
Compared to the four members of Mu Qing Ge, Xun Yuan's side was not as eye-catching. Even though he was ranked second on the popularity chart. Even though there were over a dozen intermediate dan masters on his side.
Even if there were several times more people on his side, they still couldn't outshine the four of Mu Qing Ge.
Because among them, there were two high-level alchemists!
A sharp contrast, just like a slap in the face, ruthlessly slapping Duan Yu's cheek with a loud "slap".
His eyes were gloomy and terrifying, as if they had been infused with poison, making people dare not approach him. The aura of evil emanating from his body made the temperature around him drop by several degrees.
The people who were originally surrounding him all took a few steps back in unison, as if to avoid being innocently affected.
Among them was Song Yu, who had previously fought against Mu Qingge. He secretly glanced at Mu Qingge, and the resentment in his eyes was replaced by fear.
Sometimes, when one's talent and ability are absolutely crushed, it can only make people feel intimidated and have a mind to escape.
"Where are you going?" Feeling Song Yu's constant retreat, Xuan Yuan's eyes coldly swept towards him.
Song Yu's back suddenly turned cold, and his face turned pale as he said: "I... didn't go anywhere..."
"Hmph." A cold hum, Xuan Yuan's eyes swept over Mei Zizhong and Mu Qingge with an unpredictable light. Finally, he greedily took a few more glances at Shang Zisu.
"Hmm."
This undisguised gaze brought a dissatisfied cold hum from Zhao Nanxing.
He quietly stood in front of Shang Zisu, blocking Xian Yuan's line of sight.
This scene made Di Yuan's eyes suddenly filled with murderous intent.
"Big Brother." A soft and charming cry made Di Yuan's eyes flash, and he turned to look over.
In the distance, a slender yet curvaceous figure was walking towards them. The gentle breeze blew against her sleeves, accentuating her voluptuous figure even more, and that kind of charm made many of the Medicine Tower disciples' hearts skip a beat.
Di Yuan's eyes were fixed on Zhu Lian, who was slowly approaching him with a gloomy gaze.
He keenly saw a faint green mark on the edge of Zhu Ling's forehead, as if it was left by accidentally bumping her head.
Di Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of light as he said to Zhu Ling: "Sister, why did you arrive so late?"
Zhu Ling rubbed her temples and said with a somewhat tired tone, "I don't know how it happened, but I fell asleep until now. When I woke up, I found myself in the Dan Fang Pavilion."
Originally hiding in Danfang Pavilion!
Di Yuan sneered inwardly. Zhu Ling's answer made him feel at ease. As for why Zhu Ling went to the Dan Fang Pavilion, he naturally had his guesses. But what did that have to do with anything?
Even if she found an antidote formula for her, would she have time to seek help? And could anyone refine the antidote in such a short time to save her?
"Sister, do you still remember what happened yesterday?" Xiang Yuan asked tentatively.
"What's going on?"
Xie Yuan narrowed his eyes, staring tightly at Zhu Ling's expression, and said word by word: "Yesterday, you said you wanted to team up with Shang Shi Mei, hoping I would agree."
"Ah! Did I say that?" Zhu Ling exclaimed in surprise. She furrowed her brow and thought carefully, saying uncertainly: "I think I did, but I don't remember."
"You indeed said so." Di Yuan sneered.
Zhu Ling's face showed a hint of shame as he said to Xuan Yuan, "I'm sorry, brother. I was too abrupt and shouldn't have made such a request."
Her expression was utterly sincere.
Di Yuan couldn't see anything out of the ordinary.
"He suddenly smiled: 'No, how could it be Tang Tuo? Shifu and Shang Shifu have always gotten along well, wanting to form a team for trial is also reasonable. Shixiong won't stop you.'"
"Really!" Zhu Ling's eyes sparkled with surprise, but she immediately hesitated: "But will this be okay? After all, our master and Lou Chuanbai..."
"Sister, you're overthinking this." Xian Yuan interrupted her, saying: "We are all disciples of the Medicine Tower, what's the point of distinguishing between sects? Our priority is to complete our trial mission, don't think too much about other things."
"Master taught well, Zhu Leng understood." Zhu Leng bowed slightly towards Xuan Yuan.
Xie Yuan nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile: "Since Shifu wants to be with Shang Shifu, then hurry up and go. The trial is about to begin."
"Alright, Shixiong. Then I'll congratulate you in advance for coming out on top in the trial." Zhu Ling said with a bright smile.
Di Yuan's expression became even more pleased with himself, as if Zhu Ling's words were not a blessing, but a matter of fact.
After bidding farewell to Duan Yuan, Zhu Ling turned around and walked towards Shang Zisu and the other three.
Zhao Nanxing looked at her, his eyes somewhat deep in thought, but he didn't say anything to stop her.
When Zhu Ling walked in front of Shang Zisu, Shang Zisu was surprised and said: "Zhu Ling? Is there something?"
Zhu Ling smiled at her and then called out to Mei Zizhong: "Brother Mei."
Mei Zi Zhong nodded slightly, and Zhu Ling's smile became even more captivating. She said to Shang Zisu: "Zisu, can I join your team?"
"What!" Merchant Zi's expression changed drastically.
Mei Zi Zhong and Zhao Nan Xing also felt very surprised.
It turned out to be Mu Qingge, who smiled slightly and said to Zhu Ling: "With the addition of Master Zhu, it's a great help."
Zhu Ling looked at Mu Qing Ge with an unchanged smile: "Mu Shixiong is overpraising."
