Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Forging Acupuncture

"This is my willing choice. In my heart, I've long considered the young master and lady as my own grandchildren. Master, we should make plans early." Although Ding Hao is just a steward in the Duke Zhen's mansion, his power is not small, only second to Mu Hong.

"Although the Duke Zhen's mansion is not as glorious as it once was, it's not to be bullied at will!" At this moment, a strong and cold aura emanated from Mu Hong, an aura of iron-blooded killing intent, terrifying to the extreme. "He sent people to destroy Feng'er's dantian, which shows he has long wanted to eradicate my Duke Zhen's mansion. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless! Old Ding, make the arrangements, this time I want them to pay a bloody price! Also, be sure to protect Feng'er and Yue'er, they are the only hope for the Duke's mansion."

"Yes, Master."

...

After days of deep thought, Mu Qianyue finally figured out a way to heal her brother's dantian.

Previously, she didn't dare to say she could heal her brother's dantian one hundred percent, but now with the Life Ring, she's not afraid.

First, she needed to make a set of acupuncture needles.

Arriving at a weapon shop, Mu Qianyue took out a drawing she had prepared beforehand. "Shopkeeper, can you make this here?"

"We can, but it'll take some time." The weapon shop owner took the drawing and looked at it, feeling puzzled. These needles seemed strange; if they were for hidden weapons, their lethality seemed too weak; if for embroidery, they seemed too long and thin.

"How long will it take?"

"About two days, considering it's a bit troublesome to make. You need to pay a deposit of fifty gold coins now." The shopkeeper said truthfully.

"Alright, I'll come to pick it up in two days." After paying the deposit, Mu Qianyue left and went to the largest medicinal herb shop in Phoenix Shadow City.

To heal her brother's dantian, in addition to acupuncture, she also needed to concoct a Recovery Pill, as Tianshuo told her. Apart from Tianshuo, probably no one else in this world knows of the existence of the Recovery Pill.

Mu Qianyue had never refined pills before, but she had made a lot of medicine liquids. She didn't know how effective the Recovery Medicine Liquid would be, so she decided to try it first.

When the shopkeeper saw a customer, he quickly greeted her with a smile, "Miss, what would you like to buy?"

"Do you have these herbs?" Mu Qianyue handed over a piece of paper with dozens of herbs written on it, which are needed to make the Recovery Medicine Liquid.

The shopkeeper looked over the list, shaking his head, "I have two eighty-year-old Dodder Grass here, but they're not cheap, and I don't have the two-hundred-year-old Silver Dragon Root. As for this Rebirth Flower, I've never even seen it."

"Then wrap up these herbs for me," Mu Qianyue said. It seemed that for the remaining herbs, she'd have to find another way. Suddenly, her gaze fell on a pile of herbs in the corner, "Shopkeeper, are these herbs for sale?"

The shopkeeper looked slightly strange, "Miss, these are not ordinary herbs, are you sure you want them?"

"Yes, I want them all!" To others, these herbs were to be avoided, but for Mu Qianyue, they were treasures.

Some of these herbs could cause itching, some could cause numbness, making the body weak all over, some could cause dizziness, and others could repel insects and beasts, etc.

The day she sparred with Nalan Yu, although she won by a clever move, it was thrilling.

If she encountered a strong enemy, with her current strength, she wouldn't have the ability to protect herself, so she decided to buy some herbs to make some defensive powders.

Afterward, Mu Qianyue also purchased a medicine furnace for refining medicine, spending over a thousand gold coins in total before leaving the medicinal herb shop.

The streets were bustling with vehicles and crowds, very lively.

Seeing that it was still early, Mu Qianyue wandered leisurely in the streets.

Walking on the busy and prosperous street, she couldn't help but feel a bit emotional. She had never imagined that she would transmigrate here, and unconsciously, she had integrated into this world.

Unconsciously, she walked out of the city when suddenly a murderous intent came from behind. Her eyes narrowed, but her steps remained leisurely as she slowly headed towards the secluded woods.

"No need to follow anymore, come out," Mu Qianyue stopped and spoke calmly, causing any passerby to mistake her for speaking to the air.

As her voice fell, a figure emerged from behind, around thirty years old, with a sturdy build but an ugly and disgusting face.

The man's gaze lecherously fell on the stunning face before him, his eyes shining with excitement, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, truly worthy of being Phoenix Shadow Country's number one beauty."

It would be a waste if such a great beauty were to die just like this, why not...

"Who sent you?" Her fair lips curved into a cold arc.

The man laughed wickedly, "No one sent me. It's just your fault for being too beautiful. I've had my eye on you for a long time!"

"Tell me, how much did Mu Yurou pay you?" Mu Qianyue sneered.

The man was stunned, obviously not expecting Mu Qianyue to guess correctly. His eyes changed as he snickered, "So what if you guessed it? You're not getting away today. If you know what's good for you, serve me well, and maybe I'll spare your life!"

The opponent was an eighth-level True Martial Artist, it seems Mu Yurou had invested quite a bit. If it were in the past, 'she' definitely couldn't defeat him.

"Oh really?" Mu Qianyue raised her brows, her eyes flashing with a cold glint.

With a swift movement, her figure glided out like a breeze, her hands moving like lightning, delivering a palm strike to the man's chest. With a 'puff', the man spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

He looked up, his gaze fierce and angry, "You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! Courting death!"

Getting up, he wiped the blood from his lips and lunged at Mu Qianyue with a snarl.

But before his hand touched Mu Qianyue, he was kicked away and slammed against a tree trunk behind him, his ribs breaking instantly, causing him almost to faint from the pain. Getting up again, his eyes showed killing intent, "You little bitch, I'll make sure you die!"

Pulling out a hidden dagger from his boot, he used his strongest move and stabbed at Mu Qianyue, the sharp blade gleaming with a cold and sinister light under the sun.

Mu Qianyue stood still, her dress fluttering in the wind, not making any move, yet an overwhelming aura emanated from her, like a thousand-pound boulder pressing down, or a torrent rolling in to crush a mountain. The man's dagger halted just three inches from Mu Qianyue, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't push it forward.

He looked at the girl in front of him, full of fear, "You, you're a Venerable Martial Artist?!"

The aura from the girl was clearly the aura of a King Martial Artist!

He once had the fortune to see a Venerable Martial Artist, and it was exactly this kind of aura, able to suppress and kill people with just their aura!

Venerable Martial Artist?

Mu Qianyue's tightly knit brows slowly relaxed, if according to the levels of the Tianwu Continent, in her past life, she should indeed be considered a Venerable Martial Artist, right?
