On the platform, Wang Mu thought to himself, It seems I’ve managed to earn so goodwill here at Glazed Lake...
A group of Water Clan Spirits rushed toward Wang Mu.
Seeing this, Grandma waved her pearl-embedded cane, and Wang Mu was carried away by a large bubble.
Wang Mu was a bit startled. I didn’t expect these Water Clan Spirits to be so enthusiastic...
Goodness...
Grandma took Wang Mu and returned to the stone house.
"Wang Mu, Wang Mu!" Little Jiao Huo circled Wang Mu several tis, her tail bouncing excitedly. "When did you beco so powerful? Are you a Great Immortal? Uh... I’m also in the Qi Refining Realm!"
Wang Mu coughed a few tis. Your Qi Cultivation Stage can compare with mine? he thought.
Having accepted Great Immortal Bi You as her master, Little Jiao Huo had long since entered the path of Qi Cultivation. She had even awakened a talent and seed much cleverer than before.
Actually, judging by aptitude alone, Little Jiao Huo’s was quite high.
Unfortunately, rfolk, and Water Clan Spirits in particular, generally developed slowly in their early stages, making it difficult for their spiritual wisdom to awaken.
So, she still appeared a little slow-witted...
"Fellow Daoist, your Sword Dao is transcendent..." Grandma focused her gaze on Wang Mu. "Truly a rare sight... You’ve done Glazed Lake a great service. If you have any requests, please state them. If Glazed Lake can fulfill them, we will certainly not refuse."
Repaynt?
Wang Mu’s heart stirred, and he said, "I’ve been traveling for a long ti and ca to see how Little Xi is doing... As for repaynt, I don’t really seek any..."
I do have so items I need at the mont, he thought. For example, the Immortal Transformation Burial. But it’s unlikely Glazed Lake would possess such a Supre Treasure.
Besides, this Grandma has an extraordinary status; she’s clearly not an easy person to deal with. I reckon even without , she might have had a solution.
"Oh?"
Grandma glanced at Wang Mu, seeing that he wasn’t lying.
Grandma frowned slightly. She looked at Wang Mu, then at Little Jiao Huo, and said in a grave tone, "Fellow Daoist, Little Xi is still young, and you are a human cultivator... We at Glazed Lake have our rules..."
Wang Mu remained silent.
"If you harbor feelings for Little Xi, I’m afraid I cannot accept it, nor can I agree to it..."
Wang Mu was speechless.
"Aiyah!" Before Wang Mu could speak, Little Jiao Huo blushed and looked at Grandma with puffed cheeks. "Grandma, what are you talking about! Wang Mu is... anyway, he can’t like , and I can’t like him either!"
"We’re not like Older Sister at all!"
Little Jiao Huo was innocent and pure. He’s Great Immortal Bi You’s partner! Grandma, honestly...
"Well..." Wang Mu was lost for words and finally said, "rfolk Grandmother, you’ve misunderstood... Never mind. Since it has co to this, I do indeed have a request."
Not asking for repaynt can easily lead to misunderstandings. It’s better to state a request, he thought.
"Speak," Grandma’s expression imdiately softened.
Wang Mu then explained about the Immortal Transformation Burial.
"’That item... Glazed Lake indeed does not possess it,’ Grandma said. ’However, I know that so human cultivators do.’"
"Who?" Wang Mu was taken aback.
"Have you heard of Qianzhou’s Eight Saints? One of them, Shen Yuanzi, achieved the Dao many years ago. He began as a wild ginseng that embarked on cultivation. Later, he cultivated into a Low-grade spiritual dicine. Then, through an immortal ecdysis, he transford from his original state and cultivated a human body. The ginseng body he shed during this process should be what you call the Immortal Transformation Burial."
Shen Yuanzi!
Wang Mu recalled that at the Alchemy Dao Convention, this person’s skill in the Alchemy Dao was extrely high!
Listening to the rfolk Grandmother now, Wang Mu had a mont of realization. So that’s how it is.
I should have asked Master Wu earlier; he might have known sothing about this. These Elixir Dao Masters should all know each other.
"’He cos to Glazed Lake to trade for dicinal ingredients every so often,’ Grandma said. ’He ntioned this to once. If you wait a few days, he should be arriving soon.’"
"’He cos back to trade for so dicinal ingredients every Fasting Festival.’"
It seems I’ve co at just the right ti, Wang Mu thought.
"’You may stay here for a few days,’ Grandma said. ’When he arrives, I will introduce you. We can then see if he is willing to part with the Immortal Transformation Burial...’"
Wang Mu smiled faintly. Introductions won’t be necessary. We all practice alchemy, and I’m actually quite keen to et him.
"’Then I’ll be troubling you,’ Wang Mu said."
Grandma said softly, "’This is the rfolk domain. You may co and go as you please. Tonight, when the Glazed Fairy Root erges from the earth, you should co and observe it too.’"
Saying this, she glanced at Little Jiao Huo.
"’Little Xi, take your friend here for a walk and have so fun...’"
"Okay, okay!" Little Jiao Huo clapped her hands. "’Wang Mu, let’s go see the Glazed Fairy Root together tonight!’"
She seed to recall sothing and beca quite excited.
After saying this, Grandma left, presumably to handle other affairs, leaving the two of them alone.
Wang Mu smiled and nodded.
"’Alright. But for now, I need to ask you so questions.’"
"What is it?"
"’Why can’t you contact Great Immortal Bi You anymore?’"
Little Jiao Huo thought for a mont, then took out a small paper figure and said softly, "I don’t know. Wang Mu, look, this is the paper figure the Great Immortal left for . Usually, it’s lively and jumps about, and the Great Immortal even asks about my cultivation progress each month. But a few months ago, it beca droopy, as if it had wilted."
Wang Mu looked at the paper figure. He rembered clearly that this should be Nanrong Biyou’s Magic Treasure, sothing of no small significance.
In a way, it could represent Great Immortal Bi You.
"’Grandma said the Great Immortal might be in seclusion and told not to disturb her,’ Little Jiao Huo said, tilting her head. ’But I feel like the Great Immortal might be caught up in sothing... Hmm...’"
"’Do you know where the Great Immortal is?’ Wang Mu asked."
"’Huh?’ Little Jiao Huo was taken aback. ’The Great Immortal... cos and goes like a shadow, without a trace. I don’t know... You’re the Great Immortal’s partner, didn’t she tell you?’"
