Chapter 126: Beauty Elixir

After noticing that something was wrong with Li Yan, Mo Juren asked half-truthfully,

"Aren't those immortals known to be detached from the world? Why would they covet the precious jade from this secular world?"

Li Yan answered slowly,

"This immortal must have his own rules for doing things, and this matter has been circulated in Lanzhou for many years. This is probably not a spur-of-the-moment move."

"There must be a deeper meaning behind this. It's not appropriate for us ordinary people to make random guesses about it."

Mo Yuzhu also laughed and said,

"I think this immortal also has seven emotions and six desires, otherwise he would have ascended to heaven long ago. Why would he still stay in the secular world?"

Li Yan nodded politely, but seeing that Mo Juren still refused to take the jade, he simply laid it on the table.

"I am indeed a bit abrupt this time. But to be honest, Brother Zhang, this jade is a gift that my father asked me to give."

"In fact, I have another request, and I need Brother Zhang's help."

Mo Juren wanted to know his true intention, so he answered,

"Oh, what's the matter? You can tell me about it."

Li Yan said with a longing look on his face,
"It is rumored that Senior Lingshi Mo Juren will return to Jiayuan City soon. My father admired the 'Ghost Hand' very much ten years ago,"

"So I would like to ask Brother Zhang to announce to your master that if Senior Mo is free, he can come to my Five Colors Sect and talk about the Lanzhou martial arts together."

Mo Juren stared at Li Yan and replied,
"No problem. Since the Five Color Sect is the dominant power in Lanzhou, I will inform my respected teacher of the invitation."

Then he pointed to the black jade bead and said,

"If you must give this jade stone to me, please give it to Junior Sister Yuzhu. It is useless to me."

Seeing this, Li Yan's eyes flashed with helplessness, but he quickly concealed it and said to Mo Yuzhu,
"Since Brother Zhang has this intention, then let's do as Brother Zhang said. Beauty is like jade, and it is just right for precious jade to be given to beautiful women. Miss Yuzhu, please accept it."

Mo Yuzhu glanced at Zhang Tie, and after receiving a positive look, she happily accepted the jade.

Mo Juren said goodbye to the two and returned to the medicine field again, only to find that Mo Fengwu had returned.

At this moment, she was still wearing a simple yellow dress, facing a pile of medicinal herbs in the house, with her small and delicate nose wrinkled.

She was startled only after Mo Juren approached from outside the house.

When he found out it was "Senior Brother Zhang Tie", his eyes were filled with surprise and he said earnestly,
"Brother Zhang Tie! You came just in time. Feng Wu has encountered a problem that he can't solve..."

Mo Juren Dao,

"Junior Sister Fengwu, what kind of problem is this? Let me help you take a look."

Mo Fengwu pointed to what was in front of her and said,
"It's the ratio of this beauty powder. According to the prescription, the main medicine here needs to be mild in nature, so the most suitable substitute is naturally 'Hibiscus seeds'."

"Then I changed the adjuvant to 'Healing Scalp Flower', and used 'White Tea Tree' oil and 'Phyllostachys edulis' as the main medicine, but I couldn't get the auxiliary medicine to match well,"

"If 'water lily core' is used as the minister, it will conflict with the auxiliary medicine and they will not blend with each other; if 'chamomile grass' is used as the minister, it will conflict with the auxiliary medicine,"

"What should I do? Do I have to replace the main medicine?"

Mo Juren saw that she was researching the beauty powder that he wanted, so he immediately joined in.

"Let me take a look. Junior Sister Fengwu, this main medicine is really well chosen, the auxiliary medicine is also very compatible, and the auxiliary medicine is also a timely choice. As for this auxiliary medicine..."

"Well, it's a bit hard to match..."

Mo Juren also fell into deep thought, and then said, "Junior Sister Fengwu, this beauty powder is indeed in a dilemma according to the general prescription, but if it is only for external use, can it be changed?"

"Look, can the ratio here be adjusted like this..."

After hearing this, Mo Fengwu's eyes lit up immediately and she said in surprise,

"Really, Senior Brother Zhang Tie, your words really woke me up from my dream. Then, in this case..."

Once the two of them started discussing medical recipes, they were quickly absorbed in the conversation and didn't know how long it lasted.

After a long time, Mo Juren and Mo Fengwu, after much deliberation, finally decided on an alternative prescription for Yangyan Powder and prepared several ready-made medicines.

Mo Juren also discovered that this alternative prescription had some overlap with the Yingxiang Pills used by the royal court.

If these two are combined, maybe a better elixir can be created.

However, this improvement requires the use of magic power to refine the alchemy method, so it was not mentioned.

Mo Fengwu got the beauty powder and was smiling with curved eyebrows, showing that she was in a very good mood.

She said to "Zhang Tie" happily,
"This time, discussing medicine with Senior Brother Zhang Tie has been of great help to Feng Wu. I really don't know how to thank you, Senior Brother."

"Junior Sister Fengwu, you don't have to be polite. If Master Mo knew that Junior Sister Fengwu has such attainments, he would definitely be happy."

Mo Fengwu played with her hair with her hands, her eyes sparkling, and asked with some anticipation,

"Really? Did my father ever talk about me in front of Senior Brother Zhang Tie?"

"Well... of course! Master Mo has always been concerned about his junior sisters." Mo Juren said somewhat against his will.

"It's a pity that father can't even go back to the Mo Mansion... Brother Zhang Tie, will you also go with father to cultivate immortality and stay away from us ordinary mortals?"

Mo Juren hesitated for a moment.
"Uh... Master Mo only taught me worldly martial arts. He once said that cultivating immortals requires spiritual roots, and not everyone can touch the great way."

Mo Fengwu glanced at "Zhang Tie" and said leisurely,
"I see. The path to immortality is so elusive that it is hard for mortals to fathom. I hope that father's path to immortality will be smooth sailing."

"But with Senior Brother Zhang Tie here, Feng Wu feels much more at ease."

Mo Juren just felt that his second daughter seemed to have some hidden meaning in her words today. Could it be that she had noticed something?
Madam Wu once discovered the difference in Mo Juren's body from the difference in his aura. Could it be that Feng Wu also saw the flaw?

So he said goodbye quickly.
"Okay, Junior Sister Fengwu, there's no need to worry so much. It's getting late today, so I'll take my leave now."

Behind her, looking at Senior Brother Zhang Tie who was running away in a panic, Mo Fengwu let out a snicker, then quickly hid it as if nothing had happened.

Not far from the medicinal field in the backyard, Zhang Tie, who was transformed by Mo Juren, ran into the third lady again.

She seemed to have been waiting here specially. When she saw Mo Juren appear, she came to greet him with a happy face.

Her eyes are as clear as water, captivating and charming. She smiles before she speaks, and her alluring manner is captivating.

I just heard her laugh,
"Oh, my Tie'er, why did you come to the Mo Mansion without meeting our Master's wives first? You just hang out with our Fengwu..."

Mo Juren frowned. His true self, Mo Juren, had already returned, but this Third Lady still used this attitude to talk to her husband's disciple "Zhang Tie". He didn't know what her intention was.

So he also acted out the play,
"So it's the Third Master's Wife. Tie'er came to the Mo Mansion to get the prescription on Master's orders."

"I just happened to run into Junior Sister Feng Wu while she was researching a recipe, so we chatted for a little longer."

"I was just planning to pay my respects to all the wives of the masters one by one..."
