Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 168 It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early

After a long while, he calmed down a bit and slowly said.

“Since you’re just passing by, why don’t you leave quickly? I don’t want any outsiders disturbing this peaceful place.”

After saying that, the boy turned his gaze back to the rare herbs, as if afraid that they might be damaged in the slightest.

"We really don't mean any harm! We just wanted to ask if you know anything about Xuanling Grass."

Huan Yuechu spoke sincerely, her face full of anticipation.

Upon hearing the words "Mysterious Spirit Grass," the young man was slightly taken aback.

He then asked in return, "Mysterious Spirit Grass?" He seemed somewhat surprised by this.

Immediately afterward, Huan Yuechu quickly explained, "To be honest, my friend is seriously ill and urgently needs the Xuanling Grass to treat him."

"If you know anything about the Mystic Spirit Grass, please be sure to inform us. We will never forget this great kindness and will repay it in the future!" After saying this, he bowed deeply to the other party.

Upon hearing this, the young man raised an eyebrow and slowly spoke.

"Mysterious Spirit Grass is a top-grade immortal herb, extremely rare in the world. Although I know a little about it, as far as I know, this herb is now almost extinct."

His voice was calm as still water, yet it carried an undeniable certainty.

Upon hearing this, Huan Yuechu felt a glimmer of hope and hurriedly asked further questions.

"Since you know it, you must know where it is, right?" His words were full of urgency.

The boy remained silent, only looking Huan Yuechu up and down with his eyes, as if trying to see through her.

After a long while, he spoke again: "The last place where the Xuanling Grass was seen was deep in the Mysterious Mountain. I suppose you have all heard of this Mysterious Mountain, right? It is a place that no one dares to easily set foot in."

At this point, the boy paused slightly, observing the reactions of the crowd.

Sure enough, everyone looked worried after hearing this.

However, only Huan Yuechu's eyes revealed an unwavering light.

The boy took in everything, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Alright, I can provide you with some herbs to help you find the Mystic Spirit Grass. But whether you can successfully obtain the Mystic Spirit Grass in the end depends on your own fortune and abilities."

Finally, the young man added, "There's one more thing I must remind you all: this mysterious mountain is fraught with danger and full of traps."

"If you want to successfully enter the mountain to find the Mysterious Spirit Grass, you must first obtain the qualification to enter the Mysterious Mountain. Otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain and all will be in vain."

"Thank you!" Huan Yuechu bowed deeply to the other party with a face full of gratitude, expressing her heartfelt thanks.

"If you just keep going straight along this road, you will be able to leave this place safely."

The other person smiled and pointed to the road ahead.

Huan Yuechu frowned slightly, feeling somewhat hesitant.

She turned to look at her companions behind her, and thinking that their lives were in danger, she finally gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement to the boy's suggestion.

So, guided by the boy's accurate directions, they carefully made their way through the dense forest.

Along the way, despite encountering many difficulties and obstacles, fortunately, they were all overcome without incident.

Finally, after a difficult trek, they successfully emerged from the treacherous dense forest and began to stride towards the outside of the mountains.

Before long, a group of people appeared outside the Jade Dragon Sect.

Grandpa Yun walked forward alone to negotiate and communicate with the people from the sect.

After the explanation, Grandpa Yun walked in steadily with the others from the sect.

Before leaving, he turned around and said to us with a kind expression.

"Children, please wait outside for a moment!"

Upon hearing Grandpa Yun's instructions, we all nodded in agreement, indicating that we would wait patiently.

A moment later, a burst of enthusiastic voices could be heard coming from inside.

"Oh dear! Elder Yun, why did you come all this way in person? You could have just asked if there was anything you needed, there was no need to trouble yourself to come all this way."

As they were talking, Master Yulong quickly came out to greet them, carefully supporting Grandpa Yun while asking him questions with concern.

Grandpa Yun smiled and waved his hand, then, led by Master Yulong, slowly walked to a carved sandalwood chair and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, a disciple respectfully stepped forward and handed him a cup of steaming hot tea.

Grandpa Yun took the teacup, gently blew away the foam on the surface, took a small sip, and then slowly began to speak.

"I just happened to be passing by today. I thought it had been a long time since I'd seen an old friend, so I stopped by to take a look. Also, there is a small favor I'd like to ask you."

Master Yulong quickly patted his chest and assured him, "Elder Yun, you're too kind."

"As long as it's something you ask me to do, even if it means going through fire and water, I'll do it without hesitation!" After saying that, he looked at Grandpa Yun expectantly, as if waiting for Grandpa Yun to tell him the specific requirements.

Grandpa Yun smiled slightly, gently placed the teacup in his hand on the coffee table beside him, and then lowered his voice to speak.

"It's not really a big deal, but I urgently need a few tickets to enter the Mysterious Mountain. I wonder if my nephew Yulong could help me get them?"

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Yulong was slightly taken aback at first, then his face lit up with joy, and he quickly responded.

"Haha, it's true that timing is everything! Elder Yun, you may not know this, but soon it will be the opening of that mysterious mountain that only opens once every fifty years. I do have a way to get some admission tickets, but..."

At this point, Sect Leader Yulong paused slightly, glanced at Grandpa Yun's expression, and then continued.

"However, the Mysterious Mountain will not be officially opened until five days later. If Elder Yun does not mind, why not rest in my sect for a few days and then go to the Mysterious Mountain when the time is right?"

After a moment of contemplation, Grandpa Yun nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, my dear nephew."

Time passed by, second by second, while we stood outside the door.

They were all extremely anxious, pacing back and forth, secretly praying that Grandpa Yun would be able to get the admission ticket smoothly.

Fortunately, not long after, Grandpa Yun returned with a happy expression and announced to everyone.

"Great news! We've received permission to enter the Mysterious Mountain. However, we'll have to wait another five days before we can officially enter."
