Chapter 529 Can’t Leave

Soon, Song Tanxi, Xiao Hui, and Bai Qianhe returned one after another, but they were all stopped in the courtyard by Qing Luo, who was refining pills. While waiting for them to return, Qing Sang discovered the cloud ginger fruits planted around the courtyard, so he picked some and started refining some Breakthrough Pills.

"You told us to come back immediately, did you discover something?" Bai Qianhe couldn't wait to greet Qing Sang when she came out.

"Shuangyue!" Song Tanxi stepped forward with delight upon seeing Liu Shuangyue appear. They had been forced to separate due to the long separation, and although they knew that each of them had their own abilities, it was still hard to hide their excitement at seeing each other safe and sound again after so long.

"By sheer coincidence, I was trapped in Flower Goddess Valley, but fortunately Qing Sang rescued me." Liu Shuangyue nodded gently, explaining her experience in a few words, while also explaining Qing Sang's encounter in Flower Goddess Valley.

"So you called us back in such a hurry because you found your companion!" Just then, Lan Suyu returned. She gently wrapped one hand around her braid while looking at Liu Shuangyue, who was dressed in a black robe.

"This outfit looks so familiar, young lady!" Of course it looks familiar! Isn't this the same outfit she wore to disguise herself before? As she got closer, she could sense the demonic energy and a trace of ghostly energy emanating from Liu Shuangyue, and her curiosity intensified.

Liu Shuangyue only glanced at Lan Suyu when she entered before looking away, completely ignoring her. On the way back, Qing Sang had already told her about her recent experiences. Upon learning that Lan Suyu was the former Holy Maiden of the Gu Clan and wanted to refine puppet Gu, she had no good feelings towards her whatsoever.

"Things have changed somewhat, so we won't linger here any longer. Let's hurry and set off to find the Gu vein." Qing Sang didn't offer any further explanation.

Lan Suyu withdrew her gaze and turned back to Qing Sang. Her intuition told her that Qing Sang must have had some extraordinary encounter in Flower Goddess Valley, something more than just finding a companion. Could it be related to the strange phenomenon she had just witnessed? But looking at Qing Sang's expression, there was nothing unusual about him; he didn't seem to have obtained any remarkable treasure.

“We can’t leave.” Lan Suyu shook her head. “Do you know why everyone here knows the Gu vein is in the Hundred Miasma Forest, but so few people have found it? Besides being well hidden, it’s also because the Hundred Miasma Forest isn’t accessible at any time?”

"What do you mean?" Qing Sang frowned. "The Hundred Miasma Forest. As you can tell from the name, it's shrouded in miasma all year round. If someone accidentally walks in, they will quickly lose their way. Moreover, the miasma contains toxins. If they get lost and can't find their way out, they will slowly succumb to the poison in the forest, their bodies festering and they will die." Lan Suyu continued.

“That’s not right. If no one can get in, then why did I hear people selling medicinal herbs from the Hundred Miasma Forest on the street just now on my way back?” Bai Qianhe suddenly spoke up.

"What's the rush? I haven't finished yet!" Lan Suyu rolled her eyes at him. "Only on the 15th and 16th of each month will the miasma dissipate automatically, and many people will specifically go in on those two days to look for what they want. Although the miasma is only one of the dangers of the Hundred Miasma Forest, fortune favors the bold!"

"Today is the twelfth, so there are still three days left." Qing Sang thought for a moment, what's meant to be will be. The Flower Goddess dissipated, Tan Wei devoured the demons and left, and the Flower Goddess's Tomb was sealed. No one should know that the strange phenomenon that day was the birth of the Divine Tree, and even fewer would suspect that she had taken it. An ordinary person who obtains a divine artifact, no matter how well they hide it, will still leak their aura, but the Fusang Divine Tree was originally her body, perfectly fused with her; unless she wanted to, not a single trace of her aura would leak out.

"Since we can't leave, let's rest in this Moon Chasing City for three days. Tanxi, go and rent the courtyard next door as well." Now that they have another member, the courtyard is really a bit crowded.

For three days straight, Qing Sang kept her furnace burning. Zhuiyue City was rich in flora, and consequently, in medicinal resources. Many herbs unavailable elsewhere could be found here, as long as one had the money. She mainly refined antidote pills, breath-holding pills, and spirit-condensing pills to combat the poisonous insects and toxic fumes of the Hundred Miasma Forest. She kept the high-grade and immortal-grade pills, selling the mid-grade and lower ones for spirit stones and other medicinal herbs. During these three days, Qing Luo also cultivated in the next room, never leaving.

Everyone else was busy too. Song Tanxi, as the head housekeeper, was in charge of all the daily arrangements and purchasing the medicinal herbs Qing Sang needed. She had already activated the inherited memories of Tanxinlian and knew everything about spiritual flowers and herbs. Xiao Hui and Bai Qianhe worked together to help Qing Sang sell the pills and gather information about Flower God Valley. Liu Shuangyue went into seclusion to digest the demonic energy she obtained in the Flower God's Tomb barrier to improve her cultivation. The Demon Shadow Rabbit stayed by her side, snacking on the bag of spirit stones Qing Sang gave her and also getting some of the demonic energy that overflowed from Liu Shuangyue's cultivation. Lan Suyu went out every day, but no one knew what she did, and Qing Sang couldn't control her.

On the fifteenth day, everyone gathered in the courtyard and distributed the pills to each person.

"Let's go to the Hundred Miasma Forest."
