Forty-eight Dragons (1)

Mu Bending nodded. Looking at Uncle Zongs suddenly serious expression, she became a little apprehensive. Did you not manage to get the Jinjiang grass and Condensed Snow Pill?

Uncle Zong sighed and reached out to rub his face. Thats right.

Mu Wanwan was a little disappointed but still felt fine. Uncle Zong, its okay. We can still cultivate spiritual plants.

Seeing that her first reaction was not to reproach but give comfort, Uncle Zongs expression softened a little. Actually, according to previous market trends, even if I cant get the Jinjiang grass, I would be able to get Jinjiang grass seeds.

He frowned, But this time, many dragon guards came to the auction and kept outbidding each other. So, the little amount of spirit stones I brought was not enough.

Mu Wanwan said, Dragon guards?

Uncle Zong said, They are the guards of the Golden Dragon Clan and the White Dragon Clan. I suppose there are elders in their clan who want them.

Im not very sure either. Uncle Zong sighed. Since Lord Ao Qin took over the territory, all kinds of things have become increasingly expensive.

Mu Wanwan mind whirled, Uncle Zong, then Was the original sovereign a very good person?

Upon hearing her words, Uncle Zong laughed. Ive not met him, but I heard that the former sovereign was a very brutal person.

I do know a little bit about that, Yuner interjected, which was not like her. Even Uncle Zong was a little surprised. Yuner, you know something?

Mhm. Yuner smiled. I wasnt from your lion beastman tribe from the beginning, remember? My father wanted to be a free nomadic beastman, so my mother accompanied him. I remember when we had just arrived in the territory of the merpeople in the north, it happened to be their courtship season. We wanted to join in the fun, and happened to see the sovereign by chance.

He had a lot of people with him, and was standing by the beautiful mermaid princess Yuner paused, as if trying to recall the scene.

When Mu Wanwan heard her mention a mermaid princess, her heart suddenly felt as if it were stabbed by something, and she regretted a little for asking about the scumbag dragons past.

Yes, the sovereign was standing next to the mermaid princess. They were talking at first, but for some reason, he flung the person away, then got into a fight with the merpeople.

Flung away?

That is the mermaid princess, how could Mister Long be so rough with a lady? No wonder he was still an old singleton dragon after so many years.

Mu Wanwan couldnt quite describe what she was feeling, but she was actually inexplicably relieved =_=!

Yuner said a little tremulously, Fortunately, we were far away at the time. Father and the others responded quickly enough, otherwise, I might be gone by now.

Uncle Zong rubbed her head, You must have been terrified back then.

Its not that bad. However, its precisely because of this that we randomly found a tribe to live in. Yuners eyes curved into a smile, Which led to me meeting you.

Yuner. Uncle Zong put his hands on her shoulders and the two looked at each other affectionately.

Mu Wanwan, who was force-fed this lovey-dovey scene,

She didnt feel right reminding Uncle Zong and Auntie Yun that she was still here. Seeing how their relationship was still so good after so many years, her mood was also more relaxed.

The two gazed at each other for a while, then remembered the existence of Mu Wanwan. Uncle Zong was a little embarrassed.

Lets not talk about that. Uncle Zong smiled at her and took out a few sheets of somewhat yellowed paper from his pocket and handed them to her, Here, take these.

An elixir recipe?! This time, Mu Wanwan wasnt surprised, but shocked.

Haha, take a look at what it is first, Uncle Zong said with a smile.

Mu Wanwan flipped through the sheets, Grade 1 Condensed Snow Pill, and Grade 1 Spirit Returning Pill?

These elixir recipes, Uncle Zong rubbed his chin, are what I want to talk to you about today.

Uncle Zong raised his eyes at Mu Wanwan, Lassie, although you havent shown your face nor told us your true identity, we still believe that you are not a bad person. Moreover, you have a special talent, so were willing to take a gamble.

When I didnt get to buy any pills or spiritual plants at the auction, I was thinking, since you are able to cultivate spiritual plants that can relieve curses, would you also have some talent in alchemy? said Uncle Zong. So, I went to a friend and bought some basic alchemist equipment and materials, and these two recipes.

Ive also prepared the elixir cauldron and seeds for the ingredients. As Uncle Zong spoke, he took out several more packets of seeds and an elixir cauldron that wasnt very large. It was green, and Mu Wanwan could tell at a glance that it wasnt cheap.

Having said so much, Mu Wanwan would be a fool if still didnt know Uncle Zong wanted her to learn alchemy.

She was surprised and touched. Uncle Zong, how dare I accept this?

In fact, she and Uncle Zong hadnt known each other for long, but Uncle Zong had always been very nice to her by giving her spiritual soil and the interdimensional pouch. Although she knew that some of this kindness was due to her talent, Mu Wanwan still could not accept it with peace of mind.

Especially in this case. In the original bodys memories, not only were alchemists considered a profession with a very high barrier to entry, but it was also a particularly costly one. Just the spiritual plants and spirit stones beginners had to waste were enough to make many families with average financial resources stay away.

Moreover, on this continent, most of those who were good at alchemy were human cultivators who had fire elemental roots, or those from the demon clan or special lifeform alliance who had an innate talent for controlling fire. She was a wood elemental cultivator those like her usually take the route of providing raw materials!

Uncle Zong, this is too expensive. I cant accept it.

Mu Wanwan was aware of her own capabilities. Previously, the reason she asked Uncle Zong to see if he could get the elixir was because of Mister Long. Uncle Zong and Auntie Yun were also not well off, and she had never touched alchemy before. If she wasted a lot of materials, it would also be a blow to Uncle Zong.
