Transmigrant Alchemist And His Magic Wagon

Siwang Mo - gu

"Md. You could say so," Mu Haocun said.

"Then, there must be some ingredients that can change the effect to take turbid chi and secrete pure chi," Mu Lian said.

"good. To find out what herbal plants are, let's look for them in grandfather's book" Mu Haocun said.

"All right," said Mu Lian.

They got up and while crossing the grounds, they saw Ling Zizhou lying on the ground.

His face was full of dirt, his clothes were falling apart here and there. Seeing Ling Zizhou's condition of concern for Mu Lian walked over to Master Yi.

"Master Yi. I'm sorry if I'm presumptuous, but I beg you not to be too hard on Azhou. Azhou has taken care of me and cooked me good food along the way to the Sky Feet Mountain" Mu Lian continued

"Please have everything Azhou has done for me as consideration and ease his sentence,"

Mu Haocun and Master Yi were shocked when they heard Mu Lian calling LIng Zizhou with the call 'Azhou'.

"Lian'er," Ling Zizhou said moved.

Ling Zizhou really couldn't stand it. The food was like being in his throat. Hopefully Master Yi will stop after being persuaded by Mu Lian.

"Hmm? Is my hearing getting worse?" said Master Yi.

"N-no, Yi. I-I also heard Zhouzhou call Lian'er," Mu Haocun said stammeringly.

"Ho" said Master Yi.

"Hey, Zhouzhou! Since when are you guys close?" mu Haocun said as he ruffled his waist in front of Ling Zizhou.

"Master Mu." Ling Zizhou said in disbelief. What harm? Didn't everyone use Lian'er's call for Mu Lian?

"Master Yi," said Mu Lian ignoring Mu Haocun and waiting for Master Yi's reply.

"Alright, Zhouzhou has indeed worked well to take care of you," Master Yi continued to Ling Zizhou

"Because your body has not fully recovered, we continue next time,"

"Ckck, when Yi is at the same cultivation level as you, he can defeat thirty core formation people alone," Mu Haocun told Ling Zizhou. Ling Zizhou only smiled faintly.

Mu Lian helped Ling Zizhou stand up then they entered the house followed by Mu Haocun. Master Yi bailed to go on patrol.

"Azhou is your concoct medicine over?" said Mu Lian.

"Yes," Ling Zizhou said.

"Alright, I will make it again," Mu Lian said.

Ling Zizhou went into his room. After seeing the door closed, Mu Lian went to the warehouse to pick up tools and materials to concoct.

Upon entering the warehouse, Mu Haocun was standing staring at a book in his hand. The cover faded and looked like an ordinary book.

Mu Lian did not know the true value of that outdated-looking book. If Mu Lian knew that the old book was valuable and sought after by the inhabitants of this world, it was possible that Mu Lian's view of the book was different.

"Grandfather, is that the book you mean?" said Mu Lian.

"Ens. Come here, Lian'er," Mu Haocun said. Mu Lian approached.

Mu Haocun handed the book to Mu Lian then they read it together. Mu Lian was overjoyed when she saw the contents of the book.

All sorts of information regarding ordinary herbs as well as the rarest ones could be found. Mu Lian asked about something she did not understand and Mu Haocun explained it patiently.

One by one the obsolete-looking books were issued by Mu Haocun to be read with Mu Lian. They then discussed the herbs that were the main ingredients of the Tu Na pill.

The discussion came to a halt when Mu Lian heard the sound of the door being knocked. Ling Zizhou with his clean face and clothes stood at the door.

"Eat night is ready!" ling Zizhou said.

"Hmm? It's night?" said Mu Haocun.

Mu Lian and Mu Haocun got up then left the books that had already been unwittingly lying on the floor and went to follow Ling Zizhou for dinner.

Master Yi came home just as the food was served on the table. After eating, Mu Lian and Mu Haocun continued their discussion until morning.

"I didn't expect one of the ingredients to extract chi was morning dew," Mu Lian said.

"Ens. Luck is on our side, otherwise we have to go to the land of Hai," Mu Haocun said.

Winter is a great time to relax indoors and spend time with loved ones.

The air is so cold, the difficulty of finding food along the journey is the thing that makes people lazy to travel when the winter.

"Are we really unable to increase its effectiveness anymore?" said Mu Lian.

"We can conduct an experiment to improve its effectiveness if the ingredients have been collected" Mu Haocun said.

Mu Haocun explained that in order to extract chi from the seedlings of life, they needed some additional ingredients like morning dew and Siwang Mo-gu.

However, the amount of chi that can be extracted from the seeds of life is only 65. Mu Lian felt affection for the 40% that was wasted but Mu Haocun said it was already the best they could do.

Then they found a problem with the materials that had to be collected. Herbal plants used to make Tu Na pills and herbal plants such as morning dew can be found in the Eastern Ufuk Valley.

Mu Haocun even had supplies that exceeded their needs. The problem is Siwang Mo-gu.

*Mo-gu himself is actually an oyster mushroom. But what distinguishes it from ordinary oyster mushrooms is that they grow in the carcasses of living things.

Siwang Mo-gu was easy to find in the aftermath of the great war as many corpses lay everywhere.

Usually the side that wins the war will use the opportunity to harvest Siwang Mo-gu as one of the results of their war.

It can be said that Siwang Mo-gu is a fairly rare plant because its growth must meet certain conditions. Precisely requires a carcass as a medium.

Just like the fire lotus, morning dew and so on. Both plants grow in extreme environments and are difficult to harvest.

If there is no war, Siwang Mo-gu can actually be disbanded on his own. But deliberately piling up the carcasses of living things in a long period of time has its own risks.

The risk is the emergence of *Egui or the so-called hungry ghosts. Annihilating Egui required quite a high amount of spiritual energy.

So not just anyone can cultivate Siwang Mo-gu. The person must have high enough spiritual energy to be able to carry out Egui's expulsion.

An Alchemist was one of the ones who could cultivate Siwang Mo-gu, because an Alchemist had quite high spiritual energy.

Hearing this Mu Lian turned her head towards Mu Haocun. Since Mu Haocun himself was a world-renowned Alchemist, of course his spiritual energy was extremely high, right?

Knowing what Mu Lian thought of her, Mu Haocun straightened her back. Then laugh proudly while stroking his chin.

Mu Haocun was delighted to be indirectly praised by Mu Lian. Mu Haocun then explained the plan to cultivate Siwang Mo-gu.

"Is Siwang Mo-gu no problem with the cold weather?" said Mu Lian. Winter is coming and the temperature in the surrounding air is going to fall.

"No problem. Because Siwang Mo-gu is not like ordinary plants that depend on chi, and nutrients from water and soil," Mu Haocun continued

"Siwang Mo-gu gets his nutrition from the carcasses of living beings as well as the accumulation of death energy,"

"Ugh, what a terrible plant," said Mu Lian.

"Just calm down, Lian'er. Grandfather will chase away the Egui before they can touch you," Mu Haocun said.

Mu Haocun would ask Master Zhengheng's group to immediately collect the carcasses of living beings.

Since the amount needed was so much, it seemed like they had to ask for help from some members of the Great Eagles.

Hearing the name of the Grand Empress mentioned, Mu Lian proposed to have Master Yi write a letter to Master Chen regarding the matter.

Had it not been urgent, Mu Haocun would have confronted anyone who distracted his grandson from him!

As Mu Haocun dissolved into his mind, suddenly a rumbling sound came from the direction of Mu Lian. Mu Haocun looked at Mu Lian who was smiling shyly.

"It looks like I'm hungry, grandfather," said Mu Lian.

"Oh? Wherever Zhouzhou is, usually the young man is very chatty if we are late to eat," Mu Haocun said.

Mu Lian and Mu Haocun turned their heads towards the door to look for Ling Zizhou's figure. They found the figure of the young man, but in a state of sitting and his head bowed.

His back was facing them, his breathing was long and regular. Jian peeked over his right shoulder.

Mu Lian and Mu Haocun approached Ling Zizhou.it turned out that the young man was fast asleep while clutching his jian.

"When did Azhou sleep here?" said Mu Lian.

"Grandfather doesn't know. Grandfather was too focused on the matter of life seedlings," Mu Haocun said.

"Alright I'll buy a side dish to Aunt Lin. Let Azhou sleep longer," Mu Lian said.

"En," said Mu Haocun.

...

"Azhou, are you okay?" said Mu Lian.

After lunch, Mu Haocun checked Ling Zizhou's state. Ling Zihzou's face looked pale and sleep-deprived.

"En," Ling Zizhou said. Mu Lian widened her eyes.

The young man was not like his master who did not say much, so Mu Lian grew more and more convinced that Ling Zizhou was not okay.

"Grandfather, what's going on?" said Mu Lian. Mu Haocun opened his eyes then looked at Mu Lian.

"Zhouzhou is only in recovery. The symptoms are similar to qigong deviations" Mu Haocun said.

"And that symptom?" said Mu Lian.

"Dreams of bad memories" Mu Haocun said.

Mu Lian remembered when she was contaminated with the seeds of life. Mu Lian opened her mouth about to say something but Ling Zizhou was faster.

"Didn't Master Zhengheng say he'd meet you, old man?" ling Zizhou said.

Mu Lian patted her forehead. Last night they did not sleep because they were busy discussing the seeds of life and Siwang Mo-gu.

Mu Lian looked at Mu Haocun anxiously. Did Master Zhengheng visit the house this morning? Is it now too late to meet Master Zhengheng?

Instead, Mu Haocun looked calm. Mu Haocun got up and headed for the kitchen to prepare the herbal tea.

"Lian'er didn't help grandpa?" said Ling Zizhou feeling Mu Lian staring at him.

"En," said Mu Lian. Since Ling Zizhou was reluctant to tell him about his dream, Mu Lian could only get up from her seat.

But the sound of knocking stopped Mu Lian's footsteps. Mu Lian walked towards the sound of the knock, towards the gate.

"Lian. Are we not disturbing? Are you guys done with lunch?" Meimei.

"We've finished lunch, come in, jiejie," said Mu Lian.

"We escorted Master Zhengheng to meet Master Mu today, as promised," Meng Zhi said from behind Meimei's back.

It was seen that Master Zhengheng, brother Che and brother Su were standing not far behind Meng Zhi. Because they were tall, Mu Lian met them.

"Good day, miss Mu, sorry to interrupt," Master Zhengheng said with a smile.

"Good day, Master Zhengheng, brother Che, brother Su. Please come in, it just so happens that grandfather is preparing herbal tea," Mu Lian said with a smile and gave way to them.

Mu Lian led Meimei, Meng Zhi and Master Zhengheng's group towards the reception hall. Where they usually eat.

When Mu Lian arrived at the long wooden table, Ling Zizhou was already not in his seat. Mu Lian sighed then allowed Meng Zhi and Master Zhengheng's group to sit down.

Mu Lian and Meimei headed for the kitchen to help Mu Haocun prepare the tea, but it seemed unnecessary as Ling Zizhou was seen walking out of the kitchen carrying a tray containing a teapot and a few empty cups.

"Oh, Meimei! You guys came to escort Master Zhengheng?" said Mu Haocun who had just exited the kitchen.

"True Master Mu. They've been waiting for you at the table" Meimei said.

Mu Lian, Mu Haocun, Ling Zizhou and Meimei returned to the table and sat down at their respective places.

Precisely Mu Haocun and Meimei were sitting in their respective places. Since there were only six wooden chairs, Mu Lian and Ling Zizhou had to stand.

Seeing Mu Lian and Ling Zizhou not getting a seat, brother Che and brother Su gave their seats.

The conversation began with Master Zhengheng sitting between Mu Lian and Ling Zizhou.

Mu Haocun explained his plan with Mu Lian to extract chi from the seedlings of life. The entire detail of their plan was explained by Mu Haocun without missing a single detail.

Master Zhengheng's face looked increasingly sparkling hearing this. Throughout the explanation, his head was often seen nodding enthusiastically.

"That's how it is, Master Zhengheng. We'll trouble you to collect the carcasses. I will ask Yi to move some of the members of the Great Eagles," Mu Haocun said.

"No need! Master Mu, we've been very troublesome for you to find solutions from the seeds of life, so let our side handle the carcass," said Master Zhengheng.

"We need it in large quantities, can you?" said Mu Haocun.

"Master, our members are spread across several lands, so it is unlikely that we will be able to gather them in the near future" Brother Su said.

"Hmm right too. Alright, sorry we have to trouble you again, Master Mu," Master Zhengheng said with a bitter smile.

"No problem," said Master Mu.

The conversation continued until the sun had set. When Master Yi came, Mu Haocun invited Master Zhengheng's group to dinner.

Meimei helped Ling Zizhou cook while Mu Lian accompanied by brother Che and brother Su borrowed some extra seats to the neighbors.

After dinner, the conversation continued until late at night. Master Yi had already written a letter to Han Tengfei and promised if the carcass needed would come in a few days.

The next day Mu Lian woke up when the sun was directly overhead. His body was like taking revenge because last night Mu Lian did not sleep at all.

Mu Lian got up and changed clothes and immediately went down. Ling Zizhou was standing looking at the sky in the middle of the yard.

"Azhou," said Mu Lian, approaching Ling Zizhou.

Note:

* Siwang Mo-gu or Death Mushroom, inspired by oyster mushrooms. The medium is the carcass of living beings. So they get their nutrients from the energy of death.

(eyster mushrooms)

*Egui or often called Preta or Hungry Ghost. Inspired by Hungry Ghost itself, the author makes it an astral creature that targets the human soul. His body is transparent. The expulsion described by Mu Haocun was similar to that of the priest exorcism. It was just that expulsion was done using spiritual energy. The principle was the same as that of the mini Meng Zhi towards the illusory lightning belonging to the mixed spirit beast (chapter 25)
