3317 What the Heck
"That's still not bad." This was a supreme-grade black-patterned elixir. Forget one out of a hundred; alchemists outside would be lucky to produce one out of ten thousand.
Qiao Mu nodded at the remark.
That's true!
Peach Blossom Immortal Master returned the bottle to the little deadpan face with immense difficulty.
The look of grief on his face made the little deadpan face twitch her lips, then she consoled him, "Next time, if I become proficient at refining, I'll refine them for you like candy beans."
Peach Blossom Immortal Master's eyes suddenly lit up at her words. He stretched out his arms, ready to hug the little deadpan face, "Deadpan face, I'm counting on you! Refine well, and become proficient quickly."
You really think supreme-grade black-patterned elixirs can be refined like candy beans...
She was just comforting him. She didn't expect him to have so much faith in her.
Seeing him unreliably move in for a hug, Qiao Mu, holding the elixir, flashed out of Taoyuan Star.
As soon as she appeared, she heard Peach Blossom Immortal Master exclaim, "Oh, Qiaoqiao, come back in quickly!"
Qiao Mu was confused and hadn't reacted yet when she heard a loud "crack" of thunder from above the roof. With a crash, it broke through the roof, and lightning struck down towards her.
What the hell is going on?
What kind of heaven-and-earth-shattering anger did I provoke to have lightning strike me down?
It's not even the tribulation of the Five Spirit Reincarnation yet, so why the lightning strike!
Peach Blossom Immortal Master flashed to her side, smiling helplessly, "I forgot to tell you. A heaven-defying existence like a Divine-grade black-patterned elixir is definitely going to be struck by lightning!"
Qiao Mu: !
Why didn't you say so sooner?
Seeing the rolling thunder descend, Qiao Mu zipped out of the hole in the roof.
At this moment, the startled Princess Consort was rushing towards them with a group of people.
Qiao Mu only had time to drop a sentence, "Don't follow. Stop Imperial Aunt."
Then she zipped away.
Meanwhile, at the Mu family.
Madam Hua, who was digging up the stone box under the large willow tree, was suddenly startled by a clap of thunder. Her hands, holding the stone box, trembled slightly.
She looked up, and the entire sky was illuminated in a dazzling white.
"This is really seeing ghosts," she murmured, feeling a bit unnerved.
"Sister-in-law!" Mu Dongni's shout startled Madam Hua again.
Her hand trembled, almost dropping the box.
"What... what is it?" Madam Hua coughed.
"Hurry and open the box to see," Mu Dongni urged.
Madam Hua glanced at her, then snorted coldly, "You don't believe it, so why did you come to see again?"
"Just let me see it for myself."
Madam Hua sneered, flipped open the stone box, and Mu Dongni's eyes widened as she saw a pile of spirit coins tumble out of the box.
Heavens! These spirit coins are indeed at least double what I saw last night!
Madam Hua gleefully took out the gold-planting talisman again, kowtowed and bowed, muttering a few incantations, then bit her finger to feed blood to the talisman paper. Only then did she put the gold-planting talisman back into the box and bury the box back in the soil.
"You're not taking it?" Mu Dongni asked in surprise.
"Why would I take it?" Madam Hua looked at her as if she were an idiot. "Isn't it better to bury it here and let the money make money?"
Mu Dongni nodded, half-believing, half-doubting.
The next day, Mu Dongni had Zhanju closely monitor the fifth wife's movements and even went to check under the old willow tree several times, seeing no unusual activity from her fifth sister-in-law.
In the evening, Mu Dongni appeared under the willow tree as expected. Watching Madam Hua dig out even more spirit coins than yesterday, she finally believed it...
