Chapter 1654: Seems a Bit Dodgy

At last, she had used two small grains of glacial star sand to complete its upgrade, making the second of the nine stars light up.
Concocting some medicinal powder to attract mystic beasts was simply a piece of cake for the current Nine Stars Mirroring the Moon Cauldron.
Hence, the medicinal powder quickly took form inside the medicinal cauldron.
The instant Qiao Mu swatted the cauldron lid open, everyone huddled over to peer inside. They saw that the walls and the bottom of the cauldron were covered with a thick layer of white powder.
Qiao Mu gave a pat, causing that powder to get sucked into a porcelain bottle in her palm.
Seeing this, Qi Xuanxuan blinked and asked curiously, “It’s finished just like that?”
Qiao Mu nodded and tilted the porcelain bottle, shaking some of the medicinal powder out. She then flicked her sleeve, making the powder scatter in the breeze.
“Let’s first hide and see!”
Qiao Mu was naturally unwilling to stand here as a target.
Afterwards, they all hid behind rocks to watch what would happen next.
Because Qiao Mu was temporarily unable to control the amount, she only scattered a tiny bit into the air this time.
They hid behind the rocks and waited. Soon, they saw three level-12 mystic beasts running over.
Qiao Mu jumped out from behind a boulder and swung her petite arm.
The remaining four people also jumped out with her, and they wordlessly worked together to blast those three unlucky mystic beasts to death in no time at all.
Qiao Mu poked at the mystic beasts for cores and only found a small piece. Afterwards, she turned around and gestured for them to hide again.
Following this, Qiao Mu looked down, once again digging out the small bottle containing the powder that attracted mystic beasts from her sleeve before pouring some out.
However, just as she was about to put away the small bottle, she heard a woman’s giggles coming from close by.
These giggles made her hair stand on end!
Qiao Mu’s petite hand shook uncontrollably, causing the amount of medicinal powder she poured out to inevitably more than double.
By the time she realized something had gone wrong and plugged the porcelain bottle, that medicinal powder had long since dispersed into the surroundings with the breeze.
Qiao Mu felt a bit guilty and immediately grabbed on to Qi Xuanxuan, who was peeking out from the rocks. She made a hand gesture at Duanmu Qing and the rest, and they swiftly found a place to hide themselves.
Just as they finished hiding, they heard disorderly footsteps coming from afar.
They heard the woman who had been the one giggling say, “Fire-bellied snakes have always been something that can only be found by chance. This kind of small creature likes torrid environments the most. I reckon that the Lava Mountain Range must have them.”
“It’s just that…” The woman paused before saying with a smile, “Fire-bellied snakes move very rapidly, their bodies extremely short and slippery. It’ll probably be very difficult to catch one alive.”
“The mission Fairy Huanghe issued this time is to obtain three live fire-bellied snakes.” A cold voice interrupted that woman. “Otherwise, the mission will be deemed a failure. The fairy does not have any obligation to pay a single spirit currency.”
The young woman in the center was like the moon being surrounded by a myriad of stars. She looked to be about 27 or 28 and had charming features.
This person was the Fairy Huanghe who was as equally famous as Fairy Liren of Passionless Palace?
She was one of the current Prefecture Lord Madam’s five most able subordinates.
