Looking at the Jade Zoysia Pungens and the Five-Colored Blossom, Mu Chen was absorbed in pondering, 'The two herbs came much weirdly.'

Gu Yunjue uttered so abruptly that Mu Chen's train of thought was interrupted, "The last of the three herbal ingredients needed is Ice Soul Pearl. I've checked the books, which indicate that this herb is at the hand of Snow Girl. It appears we shall go to Snow City one day."

Mu Chen certainly knew Ice Soul Pearl was stored in Snow City. In his last life, he had already found out this herb's location but was sieged by the immortals before he had the chance to go for it. However, what it exactly looked like and who it belonged to were still unknown to Mu Chen.

How many books could little disciple have browsed to get the clue?

"Master, something bothers you?" Gu Yunjue asked, seemingly without deliberation. Seeing Mu Chen's face become relaxed, Gu Yunjue finally stood up from kneeling, walked over to cover the two boxes containing herbs and grabbed Mu Chen's hand with grievance, "My legs ache."

Mu Chen kicked Gu Yunjue at his shin, but he stood still with a footprint left on his body. Seeing this disciple not avoid the kick, Mu Chen stopped and berated discontentedly, "Since you know it hurts, never waffle again, otherwise I'll let you kneel all the time until your legs break!"

According to Gu's cultivation, it might mean that he had to kneel for decades to cause his legs broken, which was quite threatening.

Gu Yunjue instantly wore a frightened look to coordinate Mu Chen's criticism. Mu Chen then pushed him away and said worriedly, "We have obtained these two herbs much too easily. I feel quite anxious about that."

Five-Colored Blossom was paid for in several fair herbs, which was equal to be free; Jade Zoysia Pungens was thrown into their arms by someone on their way home, which was equal to be picked up without effort. By this logic, would Ice Soul Pearl fall on his head unexplainably while he was walking around?

If the two herbs were both gained due to luck, he might have been too fortunate.

Mu Chen collected the two herbs, feeling a little worried, "Given that we couldn't always have good fortunes, someone must have helped us. But who is it? Is this Jade Zoysia Pungens the one that Gazing Chen Pavilion has bought?"

Who on earth was the lord of Gazing Chen Pavilion? There was an idea looming in Mu Chen's mind. He felt something had been neglected by him but didn't know what it exactly was.

Late at night, Gu Yunjue went to Gazing Chen Pavilion alone after coaxing Mu Chen into sleep. Skimming the information that Bai Yi gave him, Gu Yunjue was lost in deep thought with his brows knitted.

Bai Yi reported discreetly, "Star-Cloud Exalt is seemingly waiting for something eight hundred li south from Pill City."

Gu Yunjue raised his brows, "Waiting?"

"Right! He is waiting!"

Gu Yunjue's eyes went dim, "I haven't heard any treasure come into being lately. His target can be nothing more than the Pills Concocting Competition. Therefore, he is just waiting a chance to catch pill alchemists after this competition is concluded!"

Bi Yi nodded understandingly and pondered a moment when he became anxious suddenly, "It can be seen that the Devil Lord attaches great importance to pill alchemists by sending Star-Cloud Exalt for the mission. According to reliable information, the Devil Lord has been secluding, so only Star-Cloud Exalt can see him in person, which also implies his poor health condition. However, our root in the devil realm is still not solid enough and we need at least another ten more years to counter with other forces in the devil realm."
