Chapter 3987: 4.1587 She Has the Materials

"Stone-in-Flower and the Heart of a Ten-Thousand-Year Phoenix Wood," Qiao Mu said softly. "I already have these two materials."

"The last one is the blood of a Jade-Eyed Three-Headed Hound," Qiao Mu continued, lowering her gaze slightly. "This is an ancient fierce beast, only seen in ancient texts."

Mo Lian paused in surprise, then lowered his eyes, pondering for a moment. "We did see a Jade-Eyed Three-Headed Hound when we were clearing levels in the Tower of Punishment."

Qiao Mu froze, looking at him. "Are you saying you've fought it before?"

Mo Lian shook his head. "Not exactly. We just saw its carving on a stone door when we were passing through a level."

Qiao Mu nodded. "That means legends aren't entirely baseless. This fierce beast should exist." She sighed, setting down the letter.

"As long as such a thing exists in the world, we can find it, no matter how difficult," Mo Lian reached out and took his wife's small hand, asking softly, "Why are you still so unhappy, even though we have a method?"

Qiao Mu shook her head. "Master's soul is shattered; it won't last much longer." She sighed softly. "And with her current body... we must first nurture that fragmented soul before she can take the pill." Otherwise, her body simply wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Although the Jade-Eyed Three-Headed Hound existed, finding it in the short term would likely be extremely difficult. Murong Xun's wisp of a soul could only sustain itself for a year at most.

"Then... Grand Elder He Wen's formula is actually useless, isn't it?" Mo Lian frowned.

Qiao Mu nodded. "The Bodhi Soul-Restoring Grass he drew isn't quite right either."

"The leaves of the Bodhi Soul-Restoring Grass are needle-shaped; it never blooms or bears fruit."

Mo Lian couldn't help but sneer. He wondered if this Grand Elder He Wen was merely seeking fame and prestige. Why would he draw such a bizarre medicinal plant for Qiaoqiao's reference? If Qiaoqiao hadn't actually seen that medicinal plant before, she might truly have followed his drawing to search for the Bodhi Soul-Restoring Grass, right? The result would have been a waste of time, a futile search.

"I saw it on the third floor of the Longevity Hall in the main star," Qiao Mu said, suddenly standing up, a hint of excitement in her small face.

"How could I have forgotten?"

"There are many elixirs and pills made by my martial uncles and master on the second floor. Perhaps... perhaps they could help Murong Xun!" She paced back and forth in front of Mo Lian, her small face flushed with excitement. "Lian, let's go in and take a look."

Mo Lian nodded. The two left the room and entered the Longevity Hall in the main star. Qiao Mu pulled Mo Lian and rushed towards the second floor.

"Master must have made some soul-stabilizing elixirs," she said, pulling a piece of cold jade with a red deity carved on it from her neck. "If all else fails, we'll use this Soul-鎮镇魂寒玉 on Murong Xun first."

The little one mumbled to herself while quickly pulling Mo Lian to the second floor, heading straight for the rows of cabinets against the wall, rummaging through them. Mo Lian helped her retrieve the wooden boxes placed on the top two shelves, one by one.

Qiao Mu opened them, looking. She then took a box adorned with a large red peony from Mo Lian's hand. As she opened the lid, a delicate medicinal fragrance wafted out. Mo Lian couldn't help but inwardly click his tongue in amazement. Qiaoqiao's two powerful masters truly had grand schemes. Every box on the shelves was worth a fortune.

It seems Qiao Mu has found a new glimmer of hope for her master. What kind of items might be in these boxes, and will they be able to stabilize Murong Xun's soul?
