In the end, according to Qin Ye, they needed to gather three things to save Lu Qingchen.
Blood-burning red lotus from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave in Tai Bai Domain, jade-leaf stoneheart grass from White River Valley on the Hundred-Flower Continent, and azure marrow withered-and-flourishing wood from Returning Cloud Ridge on the Tianyuan Continent.
Why did Ning Xiang feel as though she were playing an MMO, with Uncle Qin as the quest-giving NPC?
Of course, obtaining those quest items would not bring Lu Qingchen back to his lively self.
All those medicinal ingredients were for refining a Pure-Nurturing Pill to keep Lu Qingchen's body from decaying. They would still need to enter the Underworld when the Underworld Gate opened forty-nine days later and bring his soul back to the mortal world.
Ning Xiang said, "Let my master pass peacefully instead. I can't bear to see him suffer like this."
Jiang Miaomiao nodded tearfully.
But Ning Xiang could only entertain the thought. After all, she was the great, glorious, and righteous War God, and the protagonist of a contemporary webnovel had to be upright and positive. She could only accept the quest.
Next, Ning Xiang laid out the following plan-
"Xia Buyan and Miaomiao will go to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, my third brother will go to the Hundred-Flower Continent, and my eldest brother will go to the Tianyuan Continent."
"What about you?"
Ning Xiang answered with perfect confidence, "Naturally, I'll stay behind to care for my master. If he kicks the bucket, someone has to be there in mourning sackcloth, right? Fine, fine, you win. My eldest brother will go to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, Xia Buyan will go to the Hundred-Flower Continent, and my third brother will go to the Tianyuan Continent. That arrangement works, doesn't it?"
