After hearing the second brother's question, Su Yishui said calmly: "Someone will fill the position."

As he said this, the scarecrow who had just emerged from the hole was taking out a bag of sand, a trowel and other tools from the carriage, and began to move stones in an orderly manner to patch up the holes.

The scarecrows driven by the talismans are all very skillful and it seems that they can repair the big hole before dawn.

Now, everyone finally felt relieved and hurried back in the carriage to catch up on their sleep.

Because the death in Wangxiang River had caused panic in the military camp, the military platform had been unused for several days, so when the mud and sand used to patch the hole dried up, no one noticed.

And on the next day, Su Yishui pasted the wine-brewing talisman of ten years in one day that he got from the wine immortal on the new mud and sand at night. The new mud and sand immediately dried up and became old, and there was no trace of having been dug up.

Speaking of Qin Xuanjiu, he has been traveling almost all over Wangxiang Pass with his mentor Mu Qingge these days, but he didn't find anything unusual.

Lin Yeting said to Mu Qingge, "Master, Qin Xuanjiu had offended the son of a general who came here for training, so the water demon incident caused such a stir. Someone above wanted to punish him, but they found a ready-made excuse. Maybe someone brought a deformed person from somewhere to scare people. Why do you have to delay here? His Majesty has been looking forward to your early arrival in the capital."

On the way, Mu Qingge saw the body of the water demon. Because it had been dead for such a long time, it had actually recovered to most of its human appearance. Although it was covered with lime, the fishy smell was too strong and Mu Qingge could not make out anything.

After listening to Lin Yeting's words and thinking about Su Yishui's cold attitude towards her, Mu Qingge smiled coldly.

After telling Lin Yeting to go out, she couldn't help but look at herself in the mirror. The woman in the mirror had bright eyes and white teeth, which was stunning.

Su Yu is obsessed with this face, right? Owning a vast kingdom but not being able to embrace a beautiful woman is indeed a regret that cannot be let go...

But as Mu Qingge watched, she suddenly threw the teacup in her hand at the bronze mirror - still not like her! Although her eyebrows and eyes were 50% similar, she could never learn to be as carefree as "her" who looked down on the world with a smile and looked down on the powerful!

Could it be that this is why Su Yishui has been ignoring her?

Thinking of this, the beautiful face in the bronze mirror suddenly showed a trace of insecurity. She slowly stretched out her hand, and on her white arm, there was a blood-red line, like a winding little snake, winding around her arm and going straight up - this was Wei Yan's sin! He actually thought of using resentful water to irrigate the reincarnation tree!

As a result, she was full of spiritual energy as soon as she landed after absorbing enough resentful water. However, the result of this stimulation was that every time she used her spiritual energy, she would feel that her true energy was not flowing, and the red line on her arm was obviously a weird thing.

This should be an evil object that Wei Yan used to control the vital point of Mu Qingge who was reincarnated after falling to the ground, so he easily agreed to swear a soul oath with Su Yishui.

Because the resentful water was poured before the soul oath was made, even if she died from it, Wei Yan would not be considered to have breached his promise.

At first, the red line was not obvious, but it has grown rapidly in recent days.

Mu Qingge didn't dare to tell the old fox Kaiyuan of Jiuhua Sect about her shortcomings. She could only wait for Wei Yan of Chimen to come and grab her, and then see how to deal with Wei Yan.

Thinking of this, Mu Qingge felt upset again and couldn't help but wonder what she would do if she was in this predicament now?

Maybe she didn't care at all, and continued to drink under the moon and sing with friends. What else in the world could make her so worried and sad?

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and slowly put down her sleeves.

So what if she is carefree? The one standing before people now is Mu Qingge, who is remembered by many people.

At this moment, Qin Xuanjiu suddenly came to visit again.

It turned out that when Qin Xuanjiu was washing up in the evening today, he suddenly slapped his head and remembered what his master had told him, so he quickly told Mu Qingge everything.

When Mu Qingge heard about the spiritual spring of the underworld, her pupils shrank slightly. This thing was really important. However, Qin Xuanjiu said that he just remembered it, which seemed like he was lying.

However, the most urgent task is to firmly grasp the spiritual spring of the underworld. As long as you have the power of the spiritual spring, it should be easy to dissolve the resentful water in your body, right?

Now, Kaiyuan Zhenren of Jiuhua is using her as a stepping stone to gain access to Your Majesty's high position. Although he appears polite on the surface, he is still wary of her.

Although the spiritual power that was taken away by another spiritual fruit was not much, it still had a great impact on her. If she were to follow the rules to build her foundation and improve, it would probably take her 20 to 30 years to recover.

Mu Qingge had also asked people to find out the whereabouts of the spiritual fruit that fell sixteen years ago. However, Wei Yan did not find out, so she naturally gained nothing.

Mu Qingge has been feeling uneasy these past few days, always worried that something unexpected might happen.

If she had benefited from the spiritual spring of the underworld, it would be a different story. Even if "she" was still there, she would have nothing to fear.

Mu Qingge was very excited when thinking about the power of the spiritual spring. Even though he knew that the spiritual spring had a strong demonic nature and it would be easy to be harmed by it if he couldn't control it well, he could ignore it.

But this matter had to be kept secret from the people of Jiuhua Sect. Thinking of this, Mu Qingge turned her gaze to Qin Xuanjiu who was following closely behind her...

He is the garrison here. If he can help her, it will be easy. Sure enough, when she tested him, Qin Xuanjiu agreed without even thinking about it.

In Qin Xuanjiu's opinion, this thing was left here by his master, and if someone wants to take it away now, he should share it.

But Qin Xuanjiu really didn't know where that thing was. His master only told him to look at the compass frequently and did not tell him the location of the thing.

Mu Qingge asked again: "Has Su Yishui left the city in the past few days?"

Qin Xuanjiu suddenly remembered that after he was driven away by his master Mu Qingge, he could not find Su Yishui and his apprentice, so he called the soldiers guarding the city. After asking them, he learned that they had left the city three nights ago.

Early the next morning, Mu Qingge went to visit Su Yishui.

When she pushed open the door, she found the floor covered with dried mushrooms and other mountain products drying in the sun.

Xue Ranran's girl came to open the door wearing an apron. When she saw Mu Qingge, she immediately turned around and called him "Master".

However, Mu Qingge looked at Ranran steadily.

This little girl is pretty and smart, but without the blessing of youth, she would be just an ordinary girl.

But Mu Qingge found that every time he saw her, he would feel that she seemed to be more beautiful. It was not the changes in her eyebrows, eyes, and nose, but... an indescribable aura that made people stare at her involuntarily.

Being stared at so closely by Immortal Mu, Ran Ran smiled shyly, touched her cheek, and asked, "Immortal, is there something dirty on my face?"

Mu Qingge came back to her senses and smiled slightly: "No, I just feel that you look familiar, but I can't remember who you look like..."

Ran Ran nodded: "I look a bit vulgar, and I like to bump into people's faces, so naturally I look like a lot of people."

Mu Qingge was about to speak when she saw Su Yishui standing behind Xue Ranran.

"What are you doing here?" Su Yishui asked.

Mu Qingge looked at Su Yishui's face and said slowly, "I have something to ask you in private. Would you like to walk with me to the Wangxiang River?"

As if she was afraid that Su Yishui would refuse again, she hastily added: "This is about the Lingquan, not a personal matter between you and me."

Su Yishui didn't move his eyebrows. After thinking for a while, he turned to Ran Ran and said, "If the food is ready, you can eat first. You don't have to wait for me."

Ran Ran, who always respected teachers, said quickly: "Then I will save some rice for you. The bacon and lotus root egg in the pot will be ready in a while, so I will save some for you."

Su Yishui nodded, and ran to the house to get a cloak for his master, and put it on him. The wind was very cold by the Wangxiang River, and although his master was already a half-immortal, it would not be wrong to dress warmly.

Moreover, the master is tall, and with this fox fur-trimmed cloak, he looks like an immortal, extremely handsome. Ran Ran thought that since the master wanted to go for a walk with Master Mu, maybe they wanted to continue their past relationship and talk about the past events such as the brook waterfall, he should wear something more fashionable.

Mu Qingge watched the master and disciple from the side, and there was always a lingering feeling of discomfort in his heart.

The couple in front of me looked about the same age, the man was tall and handsome, the woman was petite and delicate, how could they look like a master and apprentice? It looked more like a young wife seeing her newlywed husband off...

Xue Ranran is still young and has no mature look at all, so it is normal for her to be obsessed with her handsome master... But she knows Su Yishui too well. He is a man with high standards. There are many women who admire him, but in the end, they are all rejected by him.

But right now, the whereabouts of Lingquan is the most important.

After leaving the courtyard, Mu Qingge followed Su Yishui silently. Both of them had a solid foundation, and they walked very fast. Soon they arrived at the Wangxiang River where the sound of water was heard.

Mu Qingge asked tentatively: "You should know that I hid the soul-sending stone that sealed the spiritual spring here before, right?"

Su Yishui did not answer, but said calmly: "Since you are the one hiding it, how can I know?"

He did not answer, but simply threw the question back, slipping away like a fish in water, making it impossible to grasp it.

Mu Qingge bluntly said: "Qin Xuanjiu has already told me, and also said that you have been looking for it. You came here first, so you should know more. After I reincarnated from the tree, I forgot a lot of things, so I hope you can help me find the spiritual spring to avoid another tragedy in the world."

Su Yishui raised his eyes at this time, looked at Mu Qingge, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Don't you have the support of the current emperor? And all the disciples of Jiuhua are at your disposal. Why do you have to find a countryman like me to interfere? Besides, what does your business have to do with me?"

After hearing what he said, Mu Qingge couldn't help but smile knowingly: "Are you unhappy? Actually, Su Yu and I are just cooperating. Although he is the emperor of the world, in the eyes of cultivators like me, he is nothing more than a bag of wine and meat. In my heart, how can he compare with you?"

At this point, Mu Qingge couldn't help but look down at the water. The woman's face reflected in the water was pretty and charming... In the previous life, it was this face that looked so similar to hers that made many men fall in love with her and go through fire and water for her.

This is the face that makes so many women jealous! And this is also what Su Yishui likes...

"There's no one here, so you don't have to pretend to be indifferent. Others may not know, but I know you have feelings for me... It's just that there were too many people who admired me at that time, so I ignored you for a while and hurt your heart..."

As she spoke, she took a few steps forward and almost fell into his arms. She half raised her head and said with tears in her eyes: "Only when you are in the lowest point in life can you know the true and false hearts of people. When my soul is scattered, only you are willing to give up everything in exchange for my reincarnation. Even if I cannot become an immortal, I will never let you down again..."

After saying that, she leaned over for a kiss, but was pushed away forcefully by Su Yishui.

The force was so great that Mu Qingge almost fell into the Wangxiang River.

Su Yishui took two steps back, looked at Wangxianghe, and said calmly: "I think you have misunderstood something. You also said it was in your previous life. Since you are lucky enough to live again, you must cherish it. After all, there were people who wished you well and even risked their lives to atone for your sins."

What Su Yishui said was true. When Mu Qingge's soul was about to fall to her death, those useless disciples she had accepted cried their hearts out as if their loved ones had died. Some even cut their blood and flesh on the spot just to give Mu Qingge a chance to live again.

Su Yishui even sacrificed most of his cultivation to get back the wandering souls that had not dispersed completely. But it was precisely because of his sacrifice that she was sure that he had Mu Qingge in his heart.

But now Su Yishui seems to mean that the account should be settled, and from now on, all ties will be severed and there will be no further connection between them.

Mu Qingge was caught off guard and was pushed away by him, and she became very frightened for a moment.

She looked at him in disbelief, took a deep breath, and suddenly changed her tone to say: "If you think so, it's not bad, but... you actually know the whereabouts of the spiritual spring, right?"

Master Su Yishui and his apprentice had once left the city at night, headed outside the city, and then returned at dawn.

Qin Xuanjiu said firmly that he had never told this secret to anyone, and only Su Yishui had asked about it before.

With Su Yishui's intelligence, after getting some clues from the reckless man, it was not impossible for him to figure out the hiding place of the spiritual spring.

Qin Xuanjiu also said that it was Mu Qingge in his previous life who repeatedly asked him to look for Su Yishui.

Thinking of this, Mu Qingge softened his voice and said, "Yi Shui, you also know the severity of the backlash of this spiritual spring. It shouldn't have appeared in the human world. Didn't you suffer from it in the past? Even I am not completely sure that I can control it, so you should hand it over to me. Otherwise, if the righteous know that you have hidden the spiritual spring, you should know best what happened to me before."

The words seemed caring, but if you read them carefully, they were threatening. It was as if he was saying, "If you don't help me get the spiritual spring, I will tell everyone."

After hearing this, Su Yishui suddenly turned around with a smile on his face and looked at her.

A man who usually has a cold expression often has an irresistible charm when he smiles, just like a thawing glacier or a lotus blooming.

As far as she could remember, she had never seen Su Yishui smile at her like this before, and she couldn't help but be dazed for a moment.

At this moment, Su Yishui leaned over and whispered in her ear: "The red line on your arm should soon wrap around your shoulder, right? If you delay for a few more days, you will become a walking corpse and can only allow Wei Yuan to torture you."

Mu Qingge's originally rosy face suddenly turned pale, and she stared at Su Yishui in suspicion: "How... did you know?"

Su Yishui still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with a chill that could make people feel cold to the core: "Do you think that after hanging on the reincarnation tree for twenty years, you can enjoy the blessings left by your previous life without any worries? The resentful water is the most yin thing in the world that has fermented in the abyss for thousands of years. Even Wei Yan doesn't fully understand it. If I were you, I wouldn't think about spiritual springs and rivers. They are of no use to you. They will only make the toxicity in your body more uncontrollable. You should think about how to save your life."

Mu Qingge gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and said softly: "Yi Shui, you won't have the heart to watch me fall into Wei Yan's hands, right? In the past, you would get angry and not talk to me for several days even if I smiled at another man..."

Su Yishui's expression became even colder as he stared at the surging river water. However, his tone softened as he said, "I will prepare some pills for you to suppress the resentful water. However, Wei Yan should come to you soon. If you can get the key to the underworld from Wei Yan, I will naturally find a way to help you get rid of the resentful water."

He gave the key to Wei Yan at the beginning, but he didn't know whether Wei Yan destroyed the key in anger after he found out he was tricked. If it was still there, it would be easier to send Lingquan back to his hometown.

Mu Qingge's eyes widened when she heard this: "How can I ask him for it? How can he give it to me?"

Su Yishui half closed his eyes and said with a hidden meaning: "You have always been amazing. You will do whatever you want to get it. This is about your life. I believe you will find a way. I will wait for good news."

After that, he ignored her and turned around to go back to eat. The steamed lotus egg made by the apprentice was very tender. If it was delayed for too long, it would not taste the same.

Mu Qingge looked at his back with hatred, her fingernails scratching her palms. For a moment, she couldn't be sure whether Su Yishui was talking to Mu Qingge or to...

Damn Wei Yan, he actually did such a dirty thing to the reincarnation tree, causing her to be poisoned by the resentful water before she even landed. It seems that the other spiritual fruit landed early and avoided the resentful water. If "she" is still alive, it would really be a blessing in disguise...

For a moment, thousands of thoughts ran through her mind, and finally she took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Since Su Yishui was willing to suppress the toxicity for her and slow down the onset of the disease, then the problem could be solved. Others might not know, but she knew that Su Yishui was not the only man who was bewitched by Mu Qingge's beauty.

Even the demon cultivator Wei Yan turned hatred into love because he couldn't get the love he wanted, right?

How many people would want to have so many capable men around them? As long as you seduce them, you can play with them at will. Unfortunately, some people don't know how to take advantage of them. In their spare time, they just like to travel around and drink with some old men...

However, this life is different. She is the one who has the appearance that can turn everyone upside down. With just a few tricks, the situation will immediately change.

Su Yishui didn't know his own worth. He wanted to take the spiritual spring for himself even though his cultivation was only half as good as before? Mu Qingge didn't know that Su Yishui had plotted against Wei Yan and had taken advantage of his Dan formation. He just sneered and turned away.

When she returned to her residence, Wei Fang was instructing someone to lift an alchemy furnace from the car. When he saw her coming back, he bowed and said, "My master wrote a letter and borrowed a purple fire alchemy furnace from the head of Feiyun Sect. Its firepower is slightly inferior to your previous alchemy furnace. But it can still be used. This place is not far from Feiyun Sect, so I sent someone to transport the alchemy furnace here first. You see, should we hurry up and refine it now? After all, His Majesty can't be delayed..."

Mu Qingge lowered his eyes, looked at the alchemy furnace, nodded with satisfaction, and then instructed: "Put it in the hall for now. It's dangerous here. Let's talk about it after we get back."

But when the crowd dispersed, Mu Qingge's expression completely collapsed. After failing to get a furnace from Xishan last time, she went back and tried to use other furnaces. But she failed every time she tried to open the furnace.

What your majesty wants is not the common entry-level pills such as Qingxin Pills. People who practice Taoism know that pills are divided into gold and silver. Silver pills are easy to make, but gold pills often require extremely high talent and character.

Only with a heart free from dust can one concentrate and create the golden elixir.

However, her heart, which had been stained by the dust of two lifetimes, was obviously not calm enough. Even if she got the Nine Revolutions Black Iron Furnace, it would be difficult for her to make the elixir.

This made her a little anxious. After all, everyone knew that the demon cultivator Mu Qingge was gifted in alchemy. She could have used the excuse that the furnace was not suitable for her, but now that the old fox Kaiyuan Zhenren had borrowed the famous purple fire alchemy furnace, wouldn't she be unable to find an excuse?

Thinking about how she seemed to have hit a wall after falling from the tree, she couldn't help but feel a little angry. It seemed that all of this could be blamed on Su Yishui!

Suyi water... is just ice that can't be heated! She really shouldn't have fallen in love with this heartless man!

As for Ranran, she thought that her master and Mu Qingge would be reminiscing about the past, and the conversation might last for a long time. She was afraid that the bacon and lotus egg would become old if left for too long, so after thinking about it, she decided to eat it first.

She would steam another bowl later, so that it would be just in time for the master to come back and eat. But she didn't expect that the master would come back just after she had taken two bites. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw the disciple sitting on a small stool eating the master's share.

His expression was slightly serious, and he walked over and took the bowl and spoon from Ranran's hand.

Ran Ran swallowed the bacon in his mouth in one gulp and shouted hurriedly, "Master! Please listen to my explanation!"

Su Yishui didn't even change the soup, but used Ranran's directly, and ate the remaining egg yolk slowly.

Ran Ran thought that the master must have been hungry after being in the cold wind by the river, so he quickly served him some rice and placed it on the small table, and also brought out the reserved half dried duck with rice.

"Master, how come you came back so soon? I was wondering if you would go to a restaurant in a nearby town with Master Mu!"

Su Yishui took two bites of duck, looked up at her and asked, "Why should I eat with her?"
