Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 685: Chapter 120: Brother Mu, Requesting Artifact Refining! (27 Updates)

”Young Master, two invitation cards have just been delivered, addressed to you.” Xie Ya walked in holding two invitation cards, standing outside the door of Mu Qingge’s room.

Mu Qingge was meditating cross-legged. Upon hearing the voice outside the door, she ended her cultivation and looked towards the door.

”Enter,” she spoke lightly.

The tightly closed door opened, and Xie Ya, dressed in a simple gown, walked in, holding two invitation cards in her hand.

She bowed slightly to Mu Qingge before respectfully handing the invitation cards in front of Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge’s clear gaze swept over the invitation cards briefly before she took them from Xie Ya’s hand. After opening them, the signature on the cards made her raise an eyebrow in slight surprise.

”Ying Ze, Ji Yaohua?” She never imagined that after the news of the Holy Artifact’s emergence spread, the first ones to find her directly would be these two. A playful smile rose at the corner of her lips as she put down the invitation cards and looked up at Xie Ya, ”Bring them in.”

Before Xie Ya left, Mu Qingge added, ”Have You He prepare outside under the tree in the courtyard.”

She planned to receive guests in the courtyard.

”Yes, Young Master.” Xie Ya bowed and retreated, following Mu Qingge’s orders to prepare everything.

...

Soon, Xie Ya led Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze along the winding path to the courtyard where Mu Qingge was temporarily staying.

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Ji Yaohua clicked his tongue, ”How come your master, who refined a Holy Artifact, is staying in such a remote courtyard in the Sang Clan?”

In his imagination, Mu Qingge should at least be living in a magnificent palace to match her status as a Holy Level Refiner.

Upon hearing his words, Xie Ya simply replied with a smile, ”Our Young Master likes tranquility and solitude. She personally chose this place.”

Ji Yaohua pouted, muttering softly, ”Odd person, odd temperament.”

Ying Ze looked at him seriously and said, ”Are you talking about yourself?”

Ji Yaohua immediately burst into laughter, proudly saying, ”I am a person with character!”

As they spoke, the three had reached the courtyard entrance, seeing the gate hidden amidst the rockery and trees.

”This place is indeed very serene; your Young Master has quite an eye.” Ying Ze glanced around and remarked to Xie Ya.

Xie Ya smiled slightly without speaking much.

Leading the two into the courtyard and past the winding path, their view opened up, and they saw a striking crimson figure standing under the tree with hands folded behind.

Like a wisp of smoke or a dazzling ray of sun, brilliant enough to make one unwilling to look away.

Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze were both momentarily stunned. Why did they find that after not seeing Mu Qingge for a short time, she seemed even more handsome?

”A fatal beauty! A devilish charm!” Ji Yaohua whispered.

A handsome man encountering an even more handsome man typically won’t feel jealousy but rather awe.

”Young Master Ying, Young Master Ji, your unexpected visit to my humble abode truly brings distinction!” Mu Qingge said with a faint smile, taking the initiative to speak.

Only when she spoke did they snap back to their senses.

Ying Ze slightly frowned, puzzled by his own loss of composure.

Ji Yaohua, on the other hand, showed no embarrassment, smiling as he said, ”We heard Mu Qingge refined a Holy Artifact, which piqued our curiosity. We wanted to see if it was really you. And upon meeting, it turns out to be true.”

”Did Young Master Ji perhaps think it was someone with the same name?” Mu Qingge’s smile held playful nuances.

She didn’t harbor any particularly bad impressions towards Ying Ze and Ji Yaohua. Although they didn’t meet under ideal circumstances, they hadn’t become enemies either.

On the contrary, she felt that these two individuals were not bad.

”Previously, I was indeed under that impression.” Ji Yaohua laughed freely.

Mu Qingge gestured towards the table set with clear tea and fruits, inviting them, ”Please sit.”

Ying Ze and Ji Yaohua took their seats, with Mu Qingge, the three of them seated around the round table.

You He and Xie Ya stepped forward, each pouring tea before exiting the courtyard to wait. This allowed them to respond to calls promptly and ensured no one could disturb the conversation inside.

Ji Yaohua sized up Mu Qingge, still incredulous, saying, ”Before, seeing you stand up for Sang Xuewu, I thought you were enamored with her, but it turns out you’re actually the brother.”

Brother?

Upon hearing this term, Mu Qingge’s lips subtly twitched.

”Moreover, you’re even an Artifact Refiner, and the main thing is you’ve refined a Holy Artifact!” Ji Yaohua added.

Previously, his interest in Mu Qingge stemmed entirely from her ability to withstand Ying Ze’s three moves. Now, his intrigue had deepened because she was an Artifact Refiner, and a Holy Level Refiner at that.

”Do you know that in the Middle Ancient Realm, there hasn’t been a Holy Level Refiner for thousands of years? Maybe you are the only Holy Level Refiner in the Middle Ancient Realm now!” Ji Yaohua’s eyes lit up as she spoke.

His words of praise made Mu Qingge raise her eyebrows and look at him, saying, ”Young Master Ji didn’t just come here to watch the fun, did you?”

Ji Yaohua replied with a smile, ”Of course not, lest you forget, my fan was smashed by you.”

Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow, picked up the teacup in front of her, and smiled, ”So what?”

”As long as you admit it!” Ji Yaohua moved his chair a little closer to Mu Qingge and said softly, ”Why don’t you make me a new one?”

Mu Qingge looked at him playfully, ”Has Young Master Ji forgotten that I once said if I were a member of the Sang Family, I wouldn’t refine any artifacts for you?”

Ji Yaohua’s mouth twitched heavily, and he felt a wave of regret.

He shamelessly said, ”At that time, I didn’t know your skills. Besides, I lost that fight, and then some big figure came out to avenge you, so our grudges can be considered settled. How about this, if you refine the artifact for me, I’ll give you a reward, how about it?”

Mu Qingge smiled but didn’t speak, holding the teacup to her lips and taking a light sip.

Seeing her not responding, Ji Yaohua became anxious, ”How about it? Name your reward, as long as you agree.” His urgency was because Mu Qingge was the only Holy Level Refiner in the Middle Ancient Realm. If it were someone else refining the artifact for him, it would depend on whether they were willing or not.

Mu Qingge put down the teacup and slowly shook her head.

Ji Yaohua was a bit disappointed but unwilling to give up. ”Why, do you want me to announce to the world a formal apology before you let go of the past?”

Mu Qingge looked at Ji Yaohua.

This person, reckless and seemingly easygoing, actually has his own pride. Other than being a little careless, there’s nothing particularly annoying about him.

If she could use this opportunity to form an alliance with the Ji Family, it wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing for Mu Qingge.

”It’s not that I’m unwilling, but does Young Master Ji know that to refine a Holy Artifact, you must have an Artifact Soul?” Mu Qingge said.

”Artifact Soul? What is that?” Ji Yaohua was puzzled.

Mu Qingge laughed, ”The so-called Artifact Soul is the soul of the weapon. With a soul, it has spirit. Moreover, the Artifact Soul must be integrated with the weapon’s attributes, which is not easy to find.”

Ji Yaohua frowned after hearing this and understood that refining a Holy Artifact was not an easy task. ”True, if a Holy Artifact were easy to refine, there wouldn’t be only you as a Holy Level Refiner in a few thousand years.”

Then, he smiled again, ”But, I’m not too picky. It’s okay if you can’t make a Holy Artifact, how about you make me a Top Grade Divine Treasure Fan? As long as you agree, name any materials you need, I’ll handle it. From now on, you are my brother Ji Yaohua, anyone who dares to bully you, I’ll help beat them up!”

Mu Qingge’s eyes squinted slightly as she chuckled, ”Exchanging a Divine Level Fan for such a brother as Young Master Ji, it seems not doing this deal would truly be against the will of heaven.”

”Exactly! Not just against the will of heaven, it’s simply a crime!” Ji Yaohua immediately jumped at the chance when he saw Mu Qingge agreeing.

Mu Qingge lightly smiled, ”In that case, let me think about how to refine the Treasure Fan, and then we’ll discuss it in detail, Young Master Ji.”

”Alright! Don’t be so formal, I’m a few years older than you, how about you call me Brother Ji, and I’ll call you Brother Mu?” Ji Yaohua said with a smile.

Brother Mu? Cemetery!

Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched, and she said to him, ”Just call me Qingge.”

”As you wish, as you wish,” Ji Yaohua said nonchalantly. Having achieved his goal, he seemed especially relaxed.

At this moment, Mu Qingge turned to look at the silent Ying Ze and said, ”Young Master Ji came to ask for an artifact refinement, so why have you come, Young Master Ying?”

Ying Ze raised his deep eyes to look at her and said slowly, ”I came to see why the Sang Family hasn’t made a move.”

”It’s not that there’s no movement, just that the exhibition is not being held in Fusha City,” Mu Qingge said with a smile.

It seems King Sang Shun was right, all the families outside are waiting for the Sang Family to make a move. If they don’t hold such an exhibition, the situation might escalate.

”Not in Fusha City?” Ying Ze frowned slightly.

Mu Qingge nodded slowly.

”If not in Fusha City, then where?” Ying Ze asked.

Mu Qingge, however, teased, ”Young Master Ying, be patient, the matter will be announced in a couple of days. The specific time and place for the exhibition will then be revealed.”

Ying Ze looked at her in silence, unable to discern any clues from her faint smile. At last, he could only say, ”Fine, then I’ll wait.”

After a brief pause, he added, ”Could we have a preview of the Holy Artifact?”

This question piqued Ji Yaohua’s interest as well. He leaned over and said to Mu Qingge, ”Yes, since we’re brothers now, why not let us open our eyes?”

However, Mu Qingge gently shook her head amidst their anticipation. ”Since it’s a Holy Artifact, if you see it now, it would spoil the novelty and anticipation for you at the exhibition.”

Her words being so, both Ying Ze and Ji Yaohua, being discerning fellows, did not persist.

Sitting with Mu Qingge in the small courtyard for a while, after some casual chatting, they took their leave.

Of course, it was primarily Ji Yaohua doing the talking, with Mu Qingge occasionally responding and Ying Ze remaining silent.
