Visiting Medicine King Valley

Outside the Imperial City, Zhao Shanshan was bidding farewell to her Imperial Father, asking him to help Mu Qingling inquire about her mother's whereabouts.

Since she had promised Mu Qingling she would help her find her mother, Zhao Shanshan naturally wouldn't go back on her word. Moreover, Mu Qingling was so naive that Zhao Shanshan couldn't rest easy leaving her to go to Medicine King Valley alone.

"Shanshan, you must be careful. After all, those are old foxes who have lived for hundreds or even thousands of years. Be wary of their intentions."

"Imperial Father, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. You don't need to worry about me. You should hurry back and tend to your injuries!"

"Yingying, remember to take good care of Imperial Father."

"Imperial Sister, don't worry, I will take good care of Imperial Father."

Zhao Yingying was not accompanying them this time; Zhao Shanshan had left her behind. After all, having Zhao Yingying along wouldn't be of much use.

After bidding farewell, Zhao Shanshan, along with Mu Qingling, followed Medicine Spirit and the others, heading towards Medicine King Valley.

Since Medicine King Valley was home to Old Ancestors, it wasn't difficult for them to fly with two people and a dog. It took less than a day to return to Medicine King Valley.

"Tianxing, personally lead all the sect elders out to hunt demon beasts. The higher the level, the better. I'll have the tenth and eleventh Old Ancestors assist you."

Upon their return to Medicine King Valley, Medicine Spirit immediately instructed Yao Tianxing to lead the sect elders out to hunt demon beasts. Medicine Spirit was really going all out to please Mu Qingling, even sending out the Sect Master of Medicine King Valley.

"Old Ancestor, what is going on?"

"Don't worry about what's going on. Quickly complete the task I've assigned you. Remember, the higher the level of demon beast, the better, and you must return before dawn tomorrow."

"Alright!"

Although Yao Tianxing didn't understand why Medicine Spirit was doing this, he could only agree and planned to ask the other Old Ancestors later.

Yao Tianxing left with two Old Ancestors, preparing to gather the sect elders and depart. After Yao Tianxing left, Medicine Spirit quickly called out to Mu Qingling.

"Little Senior, I've already instructed them to hunt demon beasts, and you'll have them in your hands by tomorrow morning."

"How about Little Senior rests here for the night?"

"Alright then!"

Hearing that there would be plenty of meat tomorrow, the little girl didn't argue with Medicine Spirit and readily agreed.

"Very well, I'll take Little Senior to the resting place first."

As Medicine Spirit spoke and was about to walk out, Zhao Shanshan called out to him. Medicine Spirit turned back in confusion, wondering what else Zhao Shanshan needed.

"Princess Zhao, is there something else you need?"

"Senior, the main reason Ling'er came out this time was to find her mother. I'd like to ask Senior for information, and I hope you can tell me."

"Oh, really?"

"Princess Zhao, please tell me. If I know anything, I will definitely tell you."

Medicine Spirit looked at Mu Qingling with some surprise. He hadn't expected this little girl was out looking for her mother. However, given her strength and background, if she didn't know where her mother was, Medicine Spirit didn't dare to guarantee that he would know.

Still, Medicine Spirit wanted to hear what Zhao Shanshan had to say. What if he really did know!

"Ling'er's mother is named Mu Qianxue. Have you heard of her, Senior?"

"Yes, yes, my mother's name is Mu Qianxue. Do you know where my mother went?"

Mu Qingling looked at Medicine Spirit nervously. This old man seemed very powerful, and so many people listened to him. He should know where her mother went, right?

"Mu Qianxue?"

Hearing their words, Medicine Spirit fell into thought, searching his memory for any recollection of this name. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recall ever hearing this name.

Let alone this name, he hadn't even heard of the surname Mu. He could only shake his head apologetically at the two of them.

"You don't know where my mother went either?"

"Little Senior, I haven't heard of your mother's name. Do you have a portrait of your mother? I can have someone help you look for it."

Although Medicine Spirit hadn't heard of Mu Qianxue, considering Medicine King Valley's status in the Xiling Empire, many people would be willing to help search if there was a portrait.

"I don't have a portrait of my mother."

"Then, Little Senior, do you remember what your mother looks like? I can have someone draw a portrait of your mother, which would make searching easier."

"I've never even seen my mother, so how would I know what she looks like! But I'm sure my mother is as beautiful as I am."

Medicine Spirit: ...

Medicine Spirit was suddenly at a loss for words. If you don't even know what your mother looks like, how can he help you find her!

At the same time, Medicine Spirit was also curious about Mu Qingling's identity, but he didn't dare to ask too much. After all, sometimes, the more you know, the faster you die.

"Little Senior, if that's the case, it will be a bit troublesome. Although our Xiling Empire isn't a major power, trying to find someone with just a name, without knowing their appearance, is quite troublesome."

Actually, Medicine Spirit was being very tactful. Just a name would make finding someone not just troublesome, but practically impossible.

Even if they found someone with the same name, it might not be the same person. Besides, the Xiling Empire was only a mid-tier empire, and there were tens of thousands of such empires in the True Spirit Realm.

This showed how vast the True Spirit Realm was. What if the little girl's mother wasn't in their Xiling Empire?

"Ling'er, don't be sad. As long as we persevere, I believe Ling'er will definitely find her mother."

Seeing the slightly unhappy little girl, Zhao Shanshan could only comfort her like this. Even if they had to search the entire continent, as long as the little girl didn't give up, she would accompany her in the search.

"Little Senior, if you don't have any leads, you might consider visiting Tianji Sect. The Old Ancestor of Tianji Sect is known to know everything; there's nothing he can't divine."

"Coincidentally, I have some connections with their Old Ancestor. We might as well give Tianji Sect a try."

Tianji Sect was also one of the top ten sects in the Xiling Empire. Although not the strongest, no one would be foolish enough to provoke them since they could seemingly predict everything under the heavens.

Furthermore, the Medicine Spirit knew something that most people didn't: this Tianji Sect in the Xiling Empire was merely a branch of a Sacred Land.

Just before, Tianji Sect's Old Ancestor had been injured and sought a pill from the Medicine Spirit, thus owing him a favor. The Medicine Spirit intended to use this favor now.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy for an ordinary person to get Tianji Sect's Old Ancestor to act.

"Okay, then we'll go to Tianji Sect tomorrow."

Mu Qingling agreed immediately. As long as she could find her mother, she didn't care where they had to go.

Seeing Mu Qingling agree, the Medicine Spirit led the two of them down to rest, preparing for their trip to Tianji Sect the next day.
