Chapter 8

“This is something I did out of my own free will. In my heart, I’ve always treated Young Master and Young Miss as my own grandson and granddaughter. Master, we should have made plans long ago.” Although Defender Marquis Manor was only a butler in the Defender Marquis Manor, he had quite a lot of authority and was second only to Mu Hong.

“Although our Defender Marquis Manor isn’t as glorious as it was in the past, we aren’t to be bullied easily!” At this moment, Mu Hong emitted a powerful and cold aura and was filled with killing intent, being extremely terrifying. “He sent people to destroy Feng’er’s dantian. This means that he has long thought of getting rid of our Defender Marquis Manor. Since that is the case, then don’t blame me for being merciless! Old Ding, go and make the arrangements. I’ll get them to pay with their blood! We must also make sure to protect Feng’er and Yue’er. They are our Defender Marquis Manor’s only hope now.”

“Yes, Master.”

…

After a few days of deep thinking, Mu Qianyue finally thought of a solution to cure Eldest Brother’s dantian.

Previously, she didn’t dare to say that she’d 100% be able to heal Eldest Brother’s dantian, but with the Ring of Life now, she wasn’t afraid anymore.

First of all, she had to forge a set of acupuncture needles.

Mu Qianyue went to a weapon shop and brought out the picture that she had drawn beforehand. “Shopkeeper, are you able to forget this thing here?”

“We can, but it will take some time.” The weapon shop’s owner took the picture and took a look, feeling very puzzled. Why did these needles look so strange? If they were used as assassination weapons, the killing prowess seemed to be too weak. If they were used as sewing needles, they seemed to be too long and thin.

“How long will it take?”

About two days. After all, it’s a little troublesome to forge something like this. You’ll need to pay a deposit of 50 gold coins,” the weapon shop’s owner said.

“Alright, I’ll come to collect it in two days.” Mu Qianyue left after paying the deposit. She then went to the biggest medicinal herb shop in the Phoenix Shadow City.

To heal Eldest Brother’s dantian, other than giving him acupuncture treatment, she would also need to refine a type of Essence Recovery Pill. This was what Tianshuo had told her. Other than Tianshuo, there was probably no one else in this world who knew about the existence of the Essence Recovery Pill.

Mu Qianyue had never refined pills before, only medicinal liquid. She wondered how the Essence Recovery Pill’s effect would be. It seemed that she could only give it a try first.

When the medicinal herb’s shopkeeper saw a customer, he quickly went over to welcome her, smiling. “Miss, what would you like to buy?”

“Do you have these medicinal herbs?” Mu Qianyue handed him a piece of paper that had several tens of medicinal herbs written on it. All of them were the medicinal herbs required to refine the Essence Recovery Pill.

The shopkeeper took a look and shook his head, saying, “I have two 80-years Cuscuta, but the price isn’t cheap. I don’t have the 200-years silver dragon root. As for the resuscitation flower, I haven’t seen it before.”

“Then pack up the medicinal herbs you have for me,” Mu Qianyue said. It seemed that she had to find other ways to get the remaining medicinal herbs. Suddenly, her gaze landed on a pile of medicinal herbs in the corner. “Shopkeeper, are these medicinal herbs for sale?”

The shopkeeper broke into a strange expression. “Miss, these aren’t ordinary medicinal herbs. Are you sure you want them?”

“En, I’ll take them all!” Other people might avoid this pile of medicinal herbs, but to Mu Qianyue, they were treasures.

Some of these medicinal herbs could cause itches, some could cause numbness or even cause one to become weak all over. Some could cause dizziness and nauseousness, while others could repel bugs and beasts. Besides those she had identified with a cursory glance, there were also many others…

In the fight with Nalan Yu the other day, although she managed to win through trickeries, it had been a close shave.

If she were to encounter powerful enemies, given her current capabilities, she wouldn’t be able to protect herself. Therefore, she decided to buy some medicinal herbs to make some medicinal power that she could use to protect herself.

Mu Qianyue then purchased a medicine cauldron to refine medicine with. She spent a total of over 1,000 gold coins before she left the medicinal herb shop.

By then, the streets were busy and lively. Considering that it was still early, Mu Qianyue decided to take a leisurely stroll on the streets.

Walking on the lively and prosperous streets, she couldn’t help but feel emotional. Never had she imagined she would transmigrate, but she had unknowingly integrated into this world.

She left the city unknowingly, then felt a murderous aura coming from behind her. She squinted her eyes but continued to walk at a slow and leisurely pace, heading for the secluded forest.

“No need to follow me anymore. Come out,” Mu Qianyue stopped in her footsteps and said calmly. People who had no idea would think that she was talking to the air.

As her voice ended, a figure walked out from behind. The person was about in his thirties and looked quite strong. However, his face looked extremely ugly and disgusting.

The guy’s gaze landed on her extremely beautiful face, gleaming. “Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of the top beauty in the Phoenix Shadow Nation.”

If a great beauty like this were to die just like that, it’d be too much of a pity. Why not…

“Who sent you?” Her fair lips curled up into a cold smile.

The man smiled nefariously, “No one sent me. You can only blame yourself for being too pretty. I’ve had my eyes on you for a very long time!”

“Just say it. What benefits did Mu Yurou give you?” Mu Qianyue smiled coldly and said.

The man was stunned, clearly not expecting Mu Qianyue to guess correctly. His gaze changed and he wore a hideous smile, saying, “So what if you guessed it correctly? There’s no way that you’re going to escape today. If you know what’s good for you, then you’ll submit to me. If you serve me well, I might just spare your life!”

This was an eighth-tier True Cultivator. It seemed that Mu Yurou had invested quite a big sum of money. If it was in the past, ‘she’ definitely wouldn’t be able to win against him.

“Is that so?” Mu Qianyue furrowed her brows and a hint of viciousness flashed past in her eyes.

With a swirl of the dry leaves around her, she moved her feet and drifted out like a gust of wind, her moves quick as lightning as she slapped her palm onto the man’s chest. With a ‘pfft’ sound, the guy spurted out a large mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

From his position on the ground, he looked up with a savage and furious gaze. “Seems like you want to do this the hard way! You’re courting death!”

Climbing up and wiping off the blood from the corners of her lips, a hideous leer made its way on his face as he pounced towards Mu Qianyue.

However, before his hand came into contact with her, he was sent flying away with a kick, smashing fiercely onto the tree behind him. A few of his ribs broke and he was in so much pain that he almost fainted. Still, he crawled up once again, revealing a killing gaze that showed how much he wanted her dead. “You bitch! You’re courting death! I’ll grant you your wish!”

Drawing out his short sword that was hidden in his boots, he performed his strongest move and lashed out towards Mu Qianyue. The sharp sword blade gleamed with an eerie glow under the sunlight.

Mu Qianyue stood on the spot, not moving, her dress fluttering with the wind. Although she didn’t do anything, she emitted a terrifying aura that was like a 500-kilogram huge boulder that came crashing down, yet also like a rush of seething river water coming down overwhelmingly. The man’s short sword was forced to a stop three inches away from Mu Qianyue. No matter how much force he exerted, he was unable to thrust any further.

He looked at the young girl in front of him in horror. “You, you are a Venerate Cultivator?”

The young girl’s aura was clearly one that only a Monarch Cultivator would have!

He had the good fortune to come across a Venerate Cultivator before. The person had emitted the same aura, being able to suppress others and kill them without making a single move!

A Venerate Cultivator?

Mu Qianyue’s slightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed. Based on the Heavenly Martial Continent’s grading, she should have been considered a Venerate Cultivator in her previous life, right?
