Mu Daocheng hurriedly took the food from her hands and helped her sit on the chair: "Oh my, didn't I tell you? You just need to cultivate your body in peace. Things like this will wait until I'm done. I’ll take care of it.”
Although the woman was quite old, her face was elegant and graceful. Even Zhou Yan and Shen Mengdie were somewhat overshadowed in front of her. It can be seen from this that she must have been extremely beautiful when she was young.
"Husband, the children have come a long way, and they are already hungry. Once you go to the foundry, you don't know how long it will take. Wouldn't it be rude if I didn't entertain them first?"
Mu Jingyu could tell without asking that the beautiful woman in front of him was Mu Daocheng's wife, the nine-tailed fairy fox.
"Senior is joking, junior and others are here this time, and they still need a lot of help from senior Mu! It's okay to be hungry for one or two meals."
The nine-tailed fairy fox's body was indeed as Mu Daocheng said. It had long been sick to the bone and was extremely weak: "Don't call me senior by calling me old. If Jingyu doesn't mind, just call me Sister Yan."
"Yan...Sister...Sister..." Mu Jingyu couldn't stop laughing. He called Mu Dao his senior. If he called his wife his sister, wouldn't it mess up the seniority hierarchy?
"Don't worry, little friend Mu, just call me whatever Zhuojing wants you to. As long as she is happy, I won't mind." When Mu Daocheng said this, his eyes were full of doting and love.
"Junior knows." Mu Jingyu nodded.
Mu Daocheng moved a chair and sat next to the Nine-tailed Fairy Fox. He pointed at Mu Jingyu and the others and said, "You all should stop standing. We have been busy for two hours. We must all be hungry. Let's sit down. Let’s chat while eating, and when you’re full and drunk, let’s get down to business quickly.”
After the four people responded one after another, they moved their chairs and sat around them.
After a brief conversation, Qin Yunchuan and the others knew what happened in the casting room just now. Mu Jingyu also learned from Qin Yunchuan that the Nine-tailed Fairy Fox first invited them here and then was busy preparing meals.
After eating half of the meal, Qin Yunchuan said: "Jingyu, I just discussed with Yan'er and Xiaodie, and let them go to Baisha Mountain with you later. And I will stay here to help Senior Mu forge the furnace. Ding, and by the way, study the prescriptions left by the senior medical immortal."
"Let them go with me?" Mu Jingyu lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment before saying: "Brother Qin, I think it's better to let Senior Sister Zhou and Xiaodie stay here. After all, Senior Mu also said that where Huang Mingcao is There is nothing dangerous about the place. I can go there quickly and come back quickly, and it can save some time."
Zhou Yan put down his chopsticks angrily and said, "Okay, Jingyu, just because you have the magic weapon in your hand, aren't you worried that our sisters will hold you back?"
Mu Jingyu broke out in cold sweat immediately, waving his hands and saying, "What did Senior Sister Zhou say? Jingyu didn't mean that."
Shen Mengdie also advised: "Sister Zhou, please stop scaring Brother Mu. How could he dislike us? It's just...just..."
Shen Mengdie only spent a long time and couldn't think of any excuse to excuse Mu Jingyu. It was Mu Daocheng who patted the table gently and said, "I think what Mu Xiaoyou said is right. You don't have enough time. If there are too many people, it will waste your time."
After pondering for a while, Mu Daocheng continued: "I think it is better to let Miss Shen Mengdie and Shen go with Mu Xiaoyou, so that the two of them can be taken care of. As for Miss Zhou, she will stay here. , not only can he help us with the work, but he can also help take care of me while I'm casting the cauldron. I wonder what you guys think?"
The four of them looked at each other and nodded at the same time, reaching a consensus.
Mu Daocheng said: "It's not too late, let's act separately now! If you complete this matter earlier, not only will you have time to treat Bi Yun, but I will also be able to forget a worry."
Seeing the nine-tailed fox fairy standing up to clear the dishes on the table, Zhou Yan and Shen Mengdie quickly stood up and started working first.
After everything was ready, Mu Daocheng and others sent Mu Jingyu and Shen Mengdie to the mouth of the Sword Forging Valley.
Mu Daocheng pointed to the mountains to the north and said: "Little friend Mu, if you go north along Yuping Mountain, you will see a Tianchi surrounded by five peaks. There will be yellow tea grass there."
Mu Jingyu nodded and said, "Junior understands."
Qin Yunchuan held Mu Jingyu's hand and said: "Jingyu, even though Senior Mu said that there is no danger anywhere, you and Xiaodie still need to be careful. Once you encounter any danger, remember not to show off."
"Brother Qin, don't worry! I will be back with Huang Mingcao in as little as five days or as little as three days. During this time, I have to trouble you to cooperate with Senior Mu to cast the furnace and study the prescriptions."
After Qin Yunchuan nodded, he watched as Mu Jingyu and Shen Mengdie each summoned their fairy swords and flew through the air.
Following Mu Daocheng's guidance, the two of them flew north. The mountains are retreating rapidly, and it really feels like they are traveling thousands of miles a day.
After flying only a few dozen miles, Mu Jingyu discovered that Shen Mengdie was gradually unable to keep up with his speed. Thinking about it, after he obtained the Wuyin Immortal Sword, he could already increase his flying speed to the Guiyuan realm by relying on the Wuyin Immortal Sword's own aura without using the Jiuyaoxuan Light Chain.
Not only was Shen Mengdie's cultivation level lower than his own, but even the radiant double rings in his hands were no match for the Wuyin Immortal Sword in his hands. As time goes by, it will naturally fall behind.
Mu Jingyu stopped and waited for Shen Mengdie to catch up, then waved to her to land on the ground and rest for a while. Then he secretly used his true energy to split the Wuyin Immortal Sword in two, allowing Shen Mengdie to stand on it.
"Xiaodie, stand on the top. Let me take you on the road below."
Shen Mengdie waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Brother Mu, just hurry up and Xiaodie can keep up, so you don't have to worry about me."
"Okay, why are you so polite to me? We still have one or two hundred miles to go. If we get there earlier and get the yellow tea grass, we can get back earlier. Besides, if you are on the way, If you use up all your energy, if there is any danger, then I will be worried."
After being put on the sword by Mu Jingyu without any explanation, Shen Mengdie knew that Mu Jingyu was right, so she could only nod her head, let him distract her, and lead her forward.
After resting several times on the way, the two of them hurriedly caught up and finally arrived at the northernmost point of the Yuping Mountains at ten minutes after sunset.
"Brother Mu, look where you are in front. Is it the Tianchi that Senior Mu mentioned?"
Mu Jingyu looked in the direction pointed by Shen Mengdie and saw five closely connected peaks of different heights at the end of the mountains.
"Let's go over and have a look." Because they were still far away, the two of them could only get a rough idea. After telling Shen Mengdie, Mu Jingyu controlled the Wuyin Sword and increased his speed to the limit.
When they got closer, the two of them could clearly see the entirety of the five peaks. Looking down from mid-air, the five peaks are connected end to end, forming an arc shape. From a distance, they look like the shape of a palm. Only a slightly flat mountain ridge was left on the south side where the two came.
And between the five peaks, there is a large expanse of rippling blue water, like a pearl held in the hand. The calm lake water rushed down from the mountain ridge, forming a spectacular waterfall.
Shen Mengdie looked at it in amazement: "Brother Mu, I see that there is no obvious river water flowing in around the lake. I guess there must be an underground river flowing in below to form an endless stream of waterfalls."
Mu Jingyu agreed: "Xiao Die is right. We didn't see any rivers along the way, and to be able to form such a large mountain lake here, there must be an underground river."
While talking, the two of them had reached the top of the five peaks. Taking advantage of the sunset, they found a relatively flat place to land.
"Brother Mu, I think this lake is dozens of miles in size at least. But Senior Mu didn't tell us the specific location of Huang Mingcao, so how should we find it."
"It's hard to find but you have to look for it." Mu Jingyu sighed: "But you don't have to worry. Brother Qin told me as early as when we came here. Yellow Minggrass likes water, so it must be hidden deep in the water. It's somewhere at the bottom of the lake. As long as we search carefully, aren't we afraid we won't find it?"
But when he was comforting Shen Mengdie, he didn't feel confident at all. The width and depth of this lake were far beyond what he had ever seen. It may not be an easy task to find it within an extreme amount of time with just two people.
"Then let's go down and take a look now?" Shen Mengdie took a deep breath and made preparations to enter the water.
"Well, let's go down and take a look first." Mu Jingyu said, taking out a porcelain bottle from his arms. There were several water-avoiding pills given to him by Jie Jueming when he left the Sharman tribe.
After the two of them took it, they dived into the water. Even if you look at it from the surface of the lake, the water has a light blue color. When we got into the water, we found that the surrounding area was dim, and the sun had already set, making it even darker.
"Xiaodie, stay with me and don't move around randomly." After instructing Shen Mengdie, Mu Jingyu dived first.
Little did he know that he still far underestimated the depth of the lake. After diving hundreds of feet, he still couldn't see the bottom of the lake. The surrounding visibility dropped sharply, and I could barely see a distance of more than ten feet around me.
Shen Mengdie kept looking around: "Brother Mu, there is no way for us to continue searching like this. Why not... let's keep some distance away, or expand the search scope and find Huang Mingcao earlier."
Along the way, except for two people, no other dangers were found in the lake. He didn't even notice some ferocious fish monsters, so he nodded and agreed to Shen Mengdie's suggestion.
The two of them just swam around while looking for traces of Huang Mingcao. After finally diving to a depth of four to five hundred feet, I finally saw the bottom of the lake.
But after searching around the bottom of the lake, no trace of yellow tea grass was found, and Mu Jingyu became a little anxious. After Shen Mengdie comforted her for a few words, the two of them groped along the mountain wall, hoping to try their luck elsewhere.
Exactly half an hour passed, and the two of them were at least two miles away, but the bottom of the lake was silent, not to mention the yellow tea grass, not even the common water plants were seen.
Shen Mengdie said doubtfully: "Brother Mu, this place is so strange! Could it be that the Tianchi that Senior Mu mentioned is not here?"
Mu Jingyu shook his head and said: "Let's go all the way north. Judging from the distance, the Tianchi that Senior Mu mentioned is right here. It's absolutely correct."
He turned to look at Shen Mengdie and saw that her face was slightly pale. It seemed that her energy was severely depleted and she couldn't hold on any longer.
"How about... let's go up and take a breather first, and then we'll change places and take a look later."
Shen Mengdie's cultivation level was not high. After staying at the bottom of the lake for more than an hour, she really couldn't hold on any longer. Just when he was about to nod in agreement, he saw Mu Jingyu suddenly made a silent gesture and immediately stopped talking.
After a long time, I heard Mu Jingyu whisper: "Xiaodie, did you hear anything just now?"
Shen Mengdie held her breath and concentrated. After listening carefully, she shook her head and said, "Brother Mu, could it be that you have stayed at the bottom of the lake for a long time and are hallucinating?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, a stream of water with fluctuating breath came from the east direction, mixed with the sound of voices.
After the two looked at each other, Mu Jingyu asked: "Xiaodie, if you can still hold on for a while, let's go over and see the situation first?"
"Well, brother Mu, don't worry, Xiaodie can hold on."
Mu Jingyu patted Shen Mengdie, and after taking advantage of the situation to gain some vitality, he said, "If you can't hold on any longer, tell me quickly and don't show off."
After the two of them gathered their breath, they slowly and quietly swam towards the place where the sound came from.
