"Dragon Master!"
Bai Xiaosheng brought Xuu Hong and Lin Fei to visit Mu Jinyu, their expressions complex, tinged with some guilt.
"How is it? Have you found Chu Tiance?" Mu Jinyu lay on the bed drinking tea, saw Bai Xiaosheng enter, put down the teacup and asked.
"No..."
Bai Xiaosheng lowered his head, shook it heavily, and said, "At first, I thought Chu Tiance's cultivation body was already completely ruined, so I figured finding him would definitely be easy. But the information derived kept breaking off unexpectedly, so I brought Xuu Hong and Lin Fei, and despite some improvement, we've been unable to find him!"
"And these few days, for reasons unknown, maybe Chu Tiance has died, or perhaps he's entered some forbidden land, we three can no longer pry into any information about him."
After speaking, Bai Xiaosheng sighed, "Dragon Master, your subordinate has failed in his duty, please punish me accordingly!"
"Either dead, or he's gone to some forbidden land?"
Mu Jinyu ignored Bai Xiaosheng's last words, pondered quietly for a moment, and asked, "Then has he gone to Mount Tai? The last time you sensed his location, where was it?"
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's question, Xuu Hong and Lin Fei exchanged glances, then answered Mu Jinyu's query, reporting a place name.
Upon hearing this, Mu Jinyu took out her phone, opened the map and glanced at it, saying, "Sure enough, very close to Mount Tai. Seems like he's probably fled to Mount Tai!"
Bai Xiaosheng said, "If that's the case, then I'll head to Mount Tai to find him!"
Mu Jinyu shook her head, "Forget it, once he's gone to Mount Tai, he's now completely shrouded from the Heavenly Mechanism, and there are too many folded spaces there, making it difficult to find anyone, so let's leave it at that for now..."
Bai Xiaosheng saw this and could only agree.
Mu Jinyu was about to say more, but suddenly began to cough violently, "Cough cough..."
"Dragon Master, how is your health?"
Bai Xiaosheng saw this, and his tone became worried and concerned.
"It's nothing serious..." Mu Jinyu waved dismissively.
"Dragon Master..."
Still not at ease, Bai Xiaosheng pondered briefly, "Dragon Master, your current health condition is quite complex. I've gained some understanding that both your soul and True Yuan have been severely injured at their roots. Aside from that, if the two Divine Plants within you hadn't encountered trouble, you would recover quickly. But now, those two Divine Plants are reaching the end of their vitality, so to heal you, we must first save those two Divine Plants, which is the quickest method..."
"However, saving these two Divine Plants is quite troublesome. We're afraid we'll need various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to supplement Life Essence Qi!"
Bai Xiaosheng frowned deeply, then said, "Dragon Master, let me calculate for you..."
"Don't!" Mu Jinyu immediately stopped him, "No need to waste your energy. If you suffer backlash, given my current condition, I'm afraid I can't disperse the ominous energy within you again!"
"So, each calculation of yours is exceedingly precious now, don't waste it on me. I'm aware of my own condition..."
Mu Jinyu naturally remembered that Bai Xiaosheng, Xuu Hong, and Lin Fei came to her hoping she would protect them, delaying their reckoning by the Heavenly Dao!
And now, unable to protect them, Mu Jinyu, of course, couldn't let them squander opportunities for trifles, accelerating their reckoning by the Heavenly Dao!
"Dragon Master, that's not the way to say it. If you recover sooner, you'll continue to protect us, so it's not a waste..."
Xuu Hong calmly advised.
Ultimately, Mu Jinyu intended to persuade them not to waste energy but was moved by their persuasion, allowing them to calculate a path to survival.
"Puff!"
Bai Xiaosheng did the calculation first, and before he could speak the result, his entire illusory form collapsed completely!
It took a while for Bai Xiaosheng to barely summon another illusory form and return to the wooden hut.
"Dragon Master, I'm sorry, I failed..."
Mu Jinyu already knew that scene foretold Bai Xiaosheng's True Body in that warehouse suffered a great backlash, vomiting blood endlessly, rendering him unable to maintain this illusory form, leading to that occurrence.
"Yes, I know, which is why I told you not to waste energy..."
Mu Jinyu sighed softly, looking at Xuu Hong and Lin Fei, "You too, I'm already at a near dead end. Finding a path to survival is extremely difficult..."
Xuu Hong, very determined, said in a deep voice, "It's fine, Dragon Master, let me try, perhaps I might succeed?"
With that, she didn't give Mu Jinyu a chance to object and began calculating Mu Jinyu's path to survival directly.
Soon, with a "puff," Xuu Hong started bleeding from all seven orifices, looking extremely miserable, coughing up blood constantly, and her complexion was exceedingly weak.
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu quickly took the pill vial placed nearby and asked Lin Fei to give Xuu Hong the Life-Saving Pills she had previously concocted.
After taking three Life-Saving Pills in succession, Xuu Hong finally had a bit of Vital Energy, stopped coughing up blood, and began to breathe in small increments...
"Dra...Dragon Master...you must go to the Dragon Vein Land..."
Xuu Hong barely managed to utter a few words before her head slumped and she fell into a deep unconsciousness.
"Dragon Vein Land?"
Mu Jinyu's expression changed subtly.
She initially thought Xuu Hong wouldn't be able to calculate anything useful, feeling a little helpless at her obstinacy.
Now, hearing Xuu Hong's words, it seemed she really saw something?
Mu Jinyu's expression was mixed with bewilderment, contemplating which Dragon Vein Land this referred to?
"Abba Abba..."
Seeing Xuu Hong fall unconscious, Lin Fei became anxious, calling out repeatedly.
Mu Jinyu recovered from her thoughts and not wanting to ponder too much for now, said to Lin Fei, "Bring her over, let me check her pulse..."
"Abba..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Fei immediately lifted and carried Xuu Hong, laying her down next to Mu Jinyu's bed.
Unable to use Divine Sense to scan others' conditions now, Mu Jinyu reached out to feel Xuu Hong's pulse carefully.
A while passed, she relaxed her hand, her expression slightly eased, "Fortunately, the problem isn't too grave, although her body is now storing more ominous Qi, give her this bottle of pills to take, one each day..."
Mu Jinyu took out a vial of pills and handed it to Lin Fei.
"Abba Abba..."
Lin Fei took the pill vial, immediately expressing gratitude vocally.
Mu Jinyu said, "No need for this, you all go rest first. I'll think carefully what exactly the Dragon Vein mentioned by Xuu Hong means?"
"Alright!"
Bai Xiaosheng agreed, hesitated briefly, "Dragon Master, once Little Hong wakes, I'll see if she can reveal the whole matter..."
Disclosing heavenly secrets is severe, hence Xuu Hong's unfinished words, leading to her current state. But to expedite Mu Jinyu's recovery, Bai Xiaosheng hesitated whether to let Xuu Hong reveal her seen survival path, then suffer injuries and unconsciousness, and once Mu Jinyu acquires useful information, recover her?
"No need, this information is enough!" Mu Jinyu immediately refused upon hearing Bai Xiaosheng.
"Alright, then your subordinate shall take leave for now."
Seeing Mu Jinyu's firm attitude, Bai Xiaosheng could only embrace Xuu Hong's tender frame, departing the room.
