Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Raiding the Law Field (1)_1

Time flew by, and in just a few days, the Mo Family’s main house was built, just waiting for the other houses to be finished before raising the beams. However, several days had passed, and there was still no clue about the arsonist.

To prevent further sabotage, Mo Yan hired people to move the rafters and beams stored in the village to the construction site. The newly purchased wooden beams were also stored together, covered with tarpaulin to keep out water. With Little Flower watching, anyone thinking of causing trouble would have to think twice.

Unable to find the arsonist, Mo Yan felt extremely frustrated. She always suspected that Old Man Mo or someone from his faction was behind it. Mo Yonglu, who had recently been released from prison, was the most likely culprit, but without evidence, she could do nothing but suspect and she certainly couldn’t just confront them boldly with questions.

One day, as Mo Yan was preparing to go out, intending to see if there were any fruit seedlings for sale on the street, the Punishing Shopkeeper arrived with Xiao Zhu.

"Shopkeeper, what brings you here?"

After inviting them to sit down in the hall, Mo Yan asked curiously, as today was not the agreed upon day for them to collect Spirit Spring Water.

The Punishing Shopkeeper bowed respectfully and said, "Miss Mo, it seems that the medicinal water is no longer effective, and my master has sent me to inquire about it with you."

"No longer effective?" Mo Yan was puzzled but soon understood the reason and explained, "Initially, your master’s friend was too weak, and I was worried he wouldn’t withstand the strength of the medicine. That’s why I suggested diluting one cup of water in a bucket for bathing. Now that it’s not effective, it means his body is improving and requires a stronger concentration of the medicine."

Upon hearing this, the Punishing Shopkeeper was relieved: "I see! So what do you suggest we do next, Miss?"

Mo Yan smiled, "Just add more of the medicinal water! This kind of medicinal water can be drunk directly. If the body is in very poor condition, then one must start by gradually adjusting it through bathing."

Being able to absorb the negligible amount of Spiritual Energy from vegetables to detoxify indicates that someone’s body has deteriorated to an extreme. They can only begin by slowly detoxifying with diluted Spirit Spring Water. That way, the body can tolerate it and won’t suffer unnecessarily.

The level-one upgraded Spiritual Spring Water is not a miracle cure. It doesn’t detoxify instantly and grant immortality but rather, as now, slowly expels the toxins in the body.

The friend of Yan Junyu not only suffered from an accumulation of toxins, but his vital essence had also been eroded by the toxins. Even if the toxins and impurities were gradually expelled, his vital essence might not recover. The Spirit Spring Water was only serving to delay the decline. If the vital essence was not replenished in time, his life force could still be extinguished at any moment.

The Punishing Shopkeeper, after listening, thanked her profusely. Noticing that after sitting for a while Little Flower had not appeared, he inquired about her.

By then, Mo Yan knew that Little Flower was raised by Yan Junyu. Feeling somewhat embarrassed when the Punishing Shopkeeper brought it up, she explained the situation with the timber catching fire and why she had asked Little Flower to keep watch.

The Punishing Shopkeeper did not think much of it. Although the Snow Wolf had been raised by his lord from a pup, their relationship was not that of owner and pet. His lord had never thought of keeping the Snow Wolf for himself. If the Snow Wolf chose to follow Miss Mo, it was the Snow Wolf’s own choice.

What he hadn’t expected was that, with the Snow Wolf’s proud nature — even his master had to coax it like spoiling an elder — it was now willingly serving a young girl. This made him think Miss Mo was indeed quite extraordinary.

Mo Yan, oblivious to the Punishing Shopkeeper’s thoughts, wanted to ask him about the fruit seedlings. She then inquired, "Shopkeeper, you are well-traveled and knowledgeable. Do you know where I can buy seedlings for crabapples (apples) or oranges?"

"Sell fruit seedlings?" The Punishing Shopkeeper was startled, "Miss, are you planning to plant fruit trees?"

Mo Yan nodded, a bit embarrassed, "I have always loved eating those sour and sweet fruits, but they are rarely seen on the market, so I want to try planting them myself."
