Bi Zhu chose a noodle shop randomly.
It was the most dilapidated one. The business didn’t seem to be going well.
“Why did you choose this one?” Qiao Yi asked.
“I don’t know. It looks like this shop would be the wrong one. That might mean my luck isn’t working. If we keep finding the wrong shop, it’ll mean I’m back to normal,” said Bi Zhu.
Qiao Yi was speechless.
The princess seemed to have gone crazy.
They walked in.
Although it looked quite rundown, the shop was very clean.
Behind the counter was a middle-aged man. A young girl was welcoming customers.
“What kind of noodles would you like?” the girl asked.
She wore a simple hat and plain clothes.
Her skin was tanned as though she spent most of her time outside in the sun.
“We don’t want to eat noodles,” Bi Zhu said.
“Don’t want noodles?” The girl looked puzzled.
“Yes, we don’t want noodles. But we’ll eat whatever you order for us. It’ll mean that it is the most delicious thinz in the world, said Bi Zhu with a smile.
The girl chuckled. “I’ll order something for you then.”
“Then, I’ll eat whatever you give me,” said Bi Zhu.
Qiao Yi was speechless.
“Alright. How about plain noodles?” the girl asked.
“Okay.” Bi Zhu nodded.
The girl ordered two bowls of plain noodles.
Bi Zhu wanted to talk with her more and subtly bring up the matter of her condition.
However, three more customers walked in. “Three bowls of beef noodles,” they said. “No noodles. Just beef.”
Bi Zhu turned to look. ‘Aren’t those the Primordial Spirit Realm experts from before?’
Today, they were in the Golden Core Realm.
“Hi! Aren’t you the kind young woman from before?” exclaimed the man with a long beard.
Bi Zhu was speechless.
Had she come to the right place after all?
She felt a bit lost. She had found the place she wanted, but she felt no joy.
Qiao Yi felt like she would be humiliated again. These people weren’t in the Primordial Spirit Realm anymore.
Everything seemed strange here.
After the gathering, Jiang Hao continued with his usual daily routines.
He tended to the spirit herbs in the Spirit Herb Garden and studied the nameless manual.
He also learned more about the Mountain Sea Seal.
After he made some progress, he would replace the seals.
This would increase his chances of encountering the Holy Master in the future.
Even if he wasn’t an enemy, he might gain some benefits if he found the divine soul.
The divine soul could nourish the Mountain Sea Seal, after all.
He just didn’t understand why the divine soul had such a miraculous effect.
One day, Miao Tinglian visited the Spirit Herb Garden to get some spirit herbs.
“Junior Brother Jiang, please pack these spirit herbs for me.” She handed the list to Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao looked up and saw that her face was pale, and there were fluctuations in her aura.
“Senior Sister, you don’t look well.”
“Yeah.”
Miao Tinglian sat down shakily. “I don’t know what’s going on. I just feel mentally drained… like I’ve been cursed. But it’s not a curse. I haven’t figured out the reason yet. I asked the Master, but he didn’t see anything wrong. He just said my aura and spirit is a bit strange. He told me to be careful and inform him immediately if there’s any problem.”
Jiang Hao nodded.
The Holy Master wasn’t someone simple. Even the Cliff Master couldn’t see through that power. So, he couldn’t help her.
Jiang Hao looked at the list of spirit herbs and found that they were all herbs to replenish spiritual energy.
But these were of no use.
“Senior Sister, eat this.” Xiao Li ran over to them.
She handed the pastries she had made in the morning to Miao Tinglian.
“Oh?” Miao Tinglian looked pleasantly surprised. ‘What’s wrong with our little
Xiao Li today?”
“It’s nothing. Maybe you have a little flu. You’ll recover soon. I used to be sick too, but I recovered quickly,” said Xiao Li.
She could see that Miao Tinglian looked very pale.
She instinctively thought of her old parents, who had passed away too soon.
Miao Tinglian often came to the Spirit Herb Garden, and she always gave Xiao Li things to eat. They knew each other quite well.
Xiao Li was afraid for her. She didn’t want her Senior Sister to end up like her old parents.
“Xiao Li, aren’t you hungry?” Miao Tinglian asked.
“I’m not hungry. I’m fine,” Xiao Li said.
Miao Tinglian smiled. “Have these,” she said and handed Xiao Li some beef jerky. “I made it for you.”
Xiao Li looked at it hesitantly. She wanted to eat it but felt like she shouldn’t.
“Go ahead,” Jiang Hao said.
Only then did Xiao Li take the beef jerky. She handed some back to Miao Tinglian. “You have some too, Senior Sister.”
Miao Tinglian was amused.
She looked at Xiao Li. “Junior Sister, you’re different from what I imagined.”
“I know how to take care of people.” Xiao Li said while eating the dried meat.
“I can see that. I never thought that you would be so good at taking care of other people,” Miao Tinglian said as she propped her chin on her hand and looked at the young girl.
Before, she used to tease Xiao Li because it was fun. But she felt touched that Xiao Li had brought her favorite pastries just for her.
Xiao Li never shared her pastries with anyone else. But she was giving it all to Miao Tinglian because she was ill.
Xiao Li looked worried as though she was afraid that something might happen to Miao Tinglian.
“Junior Sister, you shouldn’t stay in a demonic sect,” said Miao Tinglian before she could stop herself.
“I’m very happy here,” Xiao Li said.
Miao Tinglian nodded.
Xiao Li was well-protected. The most important creature that protected her was the spirit beast.
With the beast around, nobody could harm Xiao Li.
Moreover, Xiao Li was a True Disciple, so no one dared to offend her.
“Junior Sister, do you think I should find you a sister-in-law?” asked Miao Tinglian teasingly.
“No. Senior Brother Jiang already has someone in his life. He shouldn’t find someone else,” said Xiao Li.
“What?” asked Miao Tinglian curiously. “Who is it?”
“It’s… ” Xiao Li thought for a moment. “It’s a Senior Sister that I like very much.”
Miao Tinglian was speechless. ‘Which Senior Sister is this child talking about?’
Jiang Hao didn’t pay attention to them. He was busy preparing the spirit herbs.
Judging from Senior Sister Miao’s condition, the Holy Master might appear soon.
He needed to find a way to suppress him a bit.
While he picked the spirit herbs, he added a bit of the Mountain Sea Seal to it.
He left it on each plant. After refining it, the seal would dissipate a lot.
The seal would react but won’t be discovered.
That way, he could buy some time.
As soon as Senior Dan Yuan found some information on how to handle the Holy Master, he could proceed with his plan.
He would then decide if he should face the Holy Master alone or seek help.
Senior Sister Miao alwavs treated him well. so he would trv his best to helD her.
It would benefit him as well.
After some time, Miao Tinglian returned home with the spirit herbs.
Not long after, Mu Qi returned home.
“Master asked me to find the Elder from the Candlelight Pill Pavilion. I didn’t see him today, but I’ve delivered the things he wanted me to.” Mu Qi sat down.
“It seems that the Master has some disagreement with the person. He can’t even show his face. Did you say anything?” asked Miao Tinglian as he handed a cup of tea to Mu Qi.
“No.” Mu Qi took the teacup and shook his head.
“Will he be willing to help me with my illness?” asked Miao Tinglian as she propped her chin up on her hand.
“We shouldn’t let the Master find out about it,” said Mu Qi. He glanced at the spirit herbs. “What kind of herbs are these?”
“I prepared them myself. I don’t know if they’ll work. I’ll give it a try anyway. If it works, you won’t need to bow and ask for help from them,” she said. Mu Qi didn’t say anything for a while. “Let me help you make the medicine.” It was the least he could do.
As for the spirit herbs, they felt that they were of little use.. If their Master couldn’t find a solution, how could they?
