Upon hearing this, Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye both chuckled and shook their heads.
This guy is talking nonsense again.
“If what that mysterious old man said is true, this world is a fragment of the Holy Realm that collapsed and fell down. It even has a portal to all worlds, so it’s not surprising that a palace was left behind,” Ji Fengyao said to Shang Xiye, turning her head to the side.
Shang Xiye nodded, indicating his agreement with his wife's opinion, and added, "But our most urgent task right now is to find medicinal herbs for you, not to investigate whether this palace actually exists or to explore it."
After saying that, he looked at Ma Chengrao and said in a serious and straightforward manner, "Your father and the people who disappeared back then have been missing for too long. The possibility that they are still alive is almost zero. I can agree to help you explore this palace, but only after I can identify the medicinal materials on the ancient prescription. Otherwise, this matter will be called off, and we will both find other partners to cooperate with, without delaying each other any further."
Ma Chengrao: "..."
This is a celestial palace; even the emperors of the mortal world would be driven mad by its allure.
The fact that the Ninth Prince could remain so calm and composed is truly remarkable!
"Ma Dahu, have you thought this through? I'm not bragging, but if you can find a few people like us in the martial arts world today, who can fly and teleport, you definitely won't find them. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get another one," Ji Fengming added fuel to the fire.
Ma Chengrao nodded and said, "Of course I know. Ever since my father took away the top experts from each family, nowadays, apart from your Donglongmen, the other sects in the martial arts world have almost all declined."
With the assistance of the Nine Princes, the chances of success have doubled.
"Then let's do as the Ninth Prince says. Let me see that ancient prescription first. I've tried to venture deep into the Emerald Snow Plains several times, and there are indeed many rare and precious herbs there. If the herbs in that ancient prescription happen to be found in the Emerald Snow Plains, we can kill two birds with one stone."
There's no ancient remedy at all; it's just a lie made up on the spot.
Now that people want to see, Ji Fengming gave an awkward laugh and could only glance at Ji Fengyao for help.
Seeing his comical appearance, Black Owl couldn't help but smile and lower his head slightly.
Ji Fengyao smiled and said, "That ancient prescription was a roll of brocade. It's been so long that the cloth is fragile, so it's not convenient to carry it with you all the time. But I remember the contents of the prescription. I'll describe it one ingredient at a time, and I'll trouble you to listen and interpret it, sir."
"Good, good, that's fine too." Ma Chengrao put away his sheepskin scroll, picked up his chopsticks and plates again, and began to eat and drink.
Ji Fengyao, meanwhile, was explaining the medicinal properties of each of the required herbs one by one.
Ma Chengrao lived up to his reputation as a know-it-all; he could name almost all the medicinal herbs that Ji Fengyao mentioned and their properties.
Even if he couldn't give a precise name, he could still tell you some rumors about it and where it was produced.
Three hours passed in this manner.
Ji Fengyao finally finished explaining the properties of all the necessary medicinal herbs, and Ma Chengrao answered most of them.
It was also their destiny to go to the Cuiwei Snowfield.
Ji Fengyao made a final summary, noting that a small portion of the medicinal herbs needed to be found in the Cuiwei Snowfield.
Shang Xiye was anxious to find medicinal herbs for his young wife, while Ma Chengrao was anxious to find the Immortal Palace;
The next morning, Ji Fengyao, Shang Xiye, Ji Fengming, Hei Xiao, Wanqikafu, and Ma Chengrao, a group of six, each bought a horse and set off into the depths of the Cuiwei Snowfield without stopping.
