Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

"Xuanbing flower and sun grass." Wei Xiaobao replied.

"Xuanbing flower? Sun grass? Never heard of it?" The Ziwei ancestor frowned slightly and muttered to himself.

He looked at Shuiyue and the other three, expecting them to give him an answer, but all he got was a uniform shake of the head. Helplessly, everyone's eyes were focused on Wei Xiaobao again.

Wei Xiaobao took a deep breath and said slowly: "Mysterious Ice Flower is produced in the bitter cold land of the Far North, while Sun Grass grows in the scorching hot land of the South Sea. They are one cold and one hot, one yin and one yang, and they are important ingredients for preparing the Foundation Establishment Pill and are indispensable!"

According to Xu Fu's inheritance, the Foundation Building Pill requires a total of thirty-one kinds of medicinal materials, five of which correspond to the power of the Five Elements and are the key to refining this pill.

The remaining twenty-six auxiliary medicines need to be added in specific proportions to balance the efficacy of the medicine.

Although these 26 auxiliary medicines are not as precious as the main medicine, they are also indispensable. Fortunately, these auxiliary medicines are all grown in Xu Fu's medicine garden.

However, due to their special growing environment, black ice flowers and sun grass are difficult to find.

"Brother Wei, let's set off now! Should we go to the Far North or Southeast Asia first?" The Ziwei Patriarch was already impatient.

"Brother Lu, I still have some unfinished business in Wangwu Mountain. I can only accompany you after I finish it." Wei Xiaobao said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Oh, Brother Wei, what else do you want to do?" asked the Ziwei Patriarch curiously.

"Oh! To be honest, I came to Wangwu Mountain this time to visit my wife. She went back to her parents' home to visit relatives two years ago, and has not returned since. I am really worried about her!" Wei Xiaobao sighed, a trace of anxiety on his face.

"So that's how it is. Don't worry, brother Wei. I have been in Wangwu Mountain for three hundred years and I am very familiar with everything here. If you need any help, just tell me." Ziwei Patriarch patted his chest and promised.

When Wei Xiaobao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, why didn't I think of it? Ziwei Palace is the largest Taoist temple in Wangwu Mountain, with believers all over Henan Prefecture. If you want to find out about a person, it shouldn't be difficult, right? Thinking of this, Wei Xiaobao hurriedly clasped his fists to thank Ziwei Patriarch and told him the whole story.

"Brother Lu, this is what's happening. My wife Zeng Rou went back to Wangwu Mountain to visit her relatives two years ago. She has not returned since then and there has been no news from her." Wei Xiaobao said anxiously.

After hearing this, Ziwei Patriarch frowned, turned to look at the boy beside him, and said softly: "Go and call the current headmaster."

Not long after, an old man, about sixty to seventy years old, wearing a Taoist robe, hurried into the hall.

His face was full of awe. When he saw the Purple Star Patriarch, he immediately bowed and saluted, shouting, "Wulian Tianzun, I greet the Patriarch! I wonder if the Patriarch summoned his disciple here. Is there anything important that needs your instructions?"

"Are you the current headmaster?" Patriarch Ziwei had a solemn expression, staring at the other party sharply, and asked in a low and serious voice.

"Replying to the ancestor, it is me. My name is Xuan Ningzi, and I am the 119th head of Ziwei Palace." The old Taoist priest responded respectfully.

Ziwei Patriarch nodded slightly to show his approval, and then continued: "Well, listen carefully. Send someone to find the whereabouts of my sister-in-law Zeng Rou immediately, and make sure to find her back."

"Zeng Rou?" Hearing this, the old Taoist's face became solemn, and he quickly bowed and replied: "I will obey the order of the ancestor!"

However, Wei Xiaobao on the side suddenly interrupted and said, "Wait a minute, look at your expression just now? Have you ever known Zeng Rou?"

Xuan Ningzi turned his head to look at Wei Xiaobao and answered cautiously: "Master Wei, I have indeed met your wife once. Two years ago, she came to Ziwei Palace and asked to become a female Taoist priest. But because she had too much resentment and was a wanted criminal of the court, I really didn't dare to accept such a disciple. Since then, I haven't heard from her again." After saying this, Xuan Ningzi sighed softly.

"What should I do?" Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but worry about Zeng Rou's safety.

After all, it has been so long, who knows what dangers she will encounter? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frowned and fell into worry.

"Is there any way to find out where she is now?" Wei Xiaobao asked anxiously. He was filled with worry and anxiety, hoping to find Zeng Rou as soon as possible.

"Master Wei, I can tell you the whereabouts of your wife." Xuan Ningzi said respectfully. He was confident in his fortune-telling skills and hoped to help Wei Xiaobao.

After Xuan Ningzi finished speaking, he squatted down and carefully took out six ancient copper coins from his body.

He muttered something, as if communicating with heaven and earth, and then threw the copper coins in his hand to the ground.

The copper coins rolled on the ground and finally stopped at different positions.

Xuan Ningzi carefully observed the arrangement of the copper coins, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.

Then, he recited another spell: "Jia Zhen, Yi Li, Bing Xin, Kun, Ding Qian, Wu Kan, Ji Xun, if you lose someone on Geng day, look for them on Dui, and Ren Gui can be found on Gen!"

As the spell was recited, a mysterious atmosphere spread.

After a moment, Xuan Ningzi stood up, bowed to Wei Xiaobao, and said, "Grandmaster Wei, according to the hexagram, your wife can be found within a hundred miles northeast of here."

Hearing this news, Wei Xiaobao felt relieved, but still a little worried. He frowned and thought about how to go in that direction to find Zeng Rou.

At this time, the old ancestor Ziwei on the side interrupted and said: "Xiao Ningzi, isn't that the place of the Misty Forest?" His face changed slightly, as if he was afraid of that place.

"Yes, old ancestor." Xuan Ningzi nodded and said seriously, "This hexagram says that your wife is in danger. Although her life is not in danger, she is still in danger."

Wei Xiaobao became even more anxious when he heard this. He quickly asked, "What is the Misty Forest? Why is it so dangerous?"

Ziwei Patriarch sighed and explained, "The Misty Forest is where Yugong fought against the snake demon. Legend has it that it is shrouded in mist all year round, and the terrain is complex and full of dangers."

"According to legend, in ancient times, Yushan, Taihang Mountain and Wangwu Mountain were intricately intertwined, like a huge barrier, stretching between Shanxi and Henan, hindering the communication between local people."

"So, Yugong led the surrounding villagers to start an arduous task of moving the mountain. However, their actions angered the mountain god."
