Chapter 150: Granny Linglong
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - -
”Wuji, Shaoru…” Just as Mo Wuji exited the doors of Heaven Seeking Palace, he heard Zhen Shaoke’s exuberant voice.
Zhen Shaoke, together with Fei Bingzhu, Tao Ao, Xiong Xiuzhu, and Yan’Er stood at the doors of Heaven Seeking Palace encampment, sandwiched together with the large crowd of cultivators.
”It seems like your friends are here. I’ll see you again soon.” Hou Yucheng bade farewell to Mo Wuji and co. courteously.
While Mo Wuji wanted to invite Hou Yucheng to catch up with him sometime, he thought of Yan’Er’s condition and he no longer had the mood to do so. Yan’Er had automatically walked to his side, and her hand naturally wrapped around Mo Wuji’s own.
”Senior Mo, I knew that nothing would happen to you.” Fei Bingzhu clasped his fist, before going forward to greet Mo Wuji.
Tao Ao and Xiong Xiuzhu also came forth to greet him. They had been equally worried about Mo Wuji after he entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain. If anything happened to him, they would have no future either.
”Shaoke, let me introduce you, this is Yu Zhi…” Even though Mo Wuji was very depressed as he did not obtain the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals, he still took the initiative to introduce Yu Zhi.
After Zhen Shaoke briefly got to know Yu Zhi, he sensed that Mo Wuji was not in a good mood. He guessed that Mo Wuji did not find the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal, ”Come on, let’s talk after we go back.”
…
Three months without seeing Mo Wuji, Yan’Er seemed to be inseparable with him. Thankfully Zhen Shaoke could read the situation well, and entertained Yu Zhi, allowing Mo Wuji to spend time with Yan’Er.
Mo Wuji spoke with Yan’Er for half a day, then had a private meal with her before she left with Xiong Xiuzhu. During this time, Yu Zhi waited for Mo Wuji in a room that Zhen Shaoke arranged for him, but only then did he realise that while Mo Wuji was a rogue cultivator, Mo Wuji's network of friends was distinctly wider than his own. Whether it was Hou Yucheng, or Zhen Shaoke, they were people that Yu Zhi had completely no access to.
At this point, Yu Zhi could only hope that Mo Wuji would stand by his words, and help him concoct the Body Constructing Pill.
”Brother Yu, you’re aware that I have to make a request to Granny Linglong. Even though I didn’t manage to obtain the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal, but I will have to meet her. If I don’t resolve this issue, I really will not be in the mood to help you refine pills. But be assured that after I’ve met with Granny Linglong, regardless of the outcome, I will fulfil my promise, and help you make a batch of Body Constructing Pills.” Mo Wuji directly said to Yu Zhi after helping Yan’Er settle down.
Without making arrangements for Yan’Er’s issue, he really could not calmly refine pills. After the trip to the Five Elements Desolate Domain, he obtained neither the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal, nor the Flower of the True Gods. His hope for Granny Linglong helping him just fell to the lowest.
”Pill Master Mo, please carry on with your plans first. I’ve waited for years already, these few more days mean nothing.” Yu Zhi respectfully answered.
After speaking to Yu Zhi, Mo Wuji returned to his room. He took out one of the ice flowers and placed it into the storage bag that Yu Zhi gave him, and hid his own storage bag in his room. Thereafter, he left to find Fei Bingzhu. He instructed Fei Bingzhu that before he returned, no one was allowed to enter his room.
With all these settled, Mo Wuji brought Yan’Er to the Heaven Seeking Palace encampment with great uncertainty hanging over him.
…
In the largest room of Heaven Seeking Palace’s temporary pill pagoda, a woman in brown clothes sat in front of a giant pill furnace, deep in thought. The fire within the pill furnace was burning fervently. At the door of the room, two nearly identical ingredient girls sat.
”Has it been a day since Five Elements Desolate Domain closed?” The brown clothed woman suddenly looked up and asked.
The two girls by the door bowed and replied in unison, ”Yes Granny.”
”Has there been anyone that’s come here looking for me?” The brown clothed woman followed up with another question.
”Not as of now.” Both girls responded together again.
The brown clothed woman seemed rather frustrated, and she threw another stalk of spiritual herb into the pill furnace, before sinking back deep in thought. The spiritual herb soon gave off a charred smell, but the woman did not seem to notice.
After some time, the brown clothed woman raised her head abruptly, and said, ”If anyone comes to look for me, let him come in immediately.”
”Yes Granny.” Both girls replied at the same time.
The brown clothed woman threw another stalk of spiritual herb into the pill furnace, and carried on in deep thought again.
…
Mo Wuji did not know what Granny Linglong was thinking, so he dared not bring Yan’Er to find her straight away. Instead, he headed for Mu Ying first. But the disappointing thing was that, Mu Ying was not at the Heaven Seeking Palace encampment.
As Mo Wuji was about to man up to find Granny Linglong, he finally met someone he knew: Zuo Shaoyi. Beside her, there was a woman that looked similar to her, possibly even slightly prettier than her. Mo Wuji could guess that that was Zuo Shaoyi’s sister.
