Chapter 1468 Undercurrents
The Huayu Sect seemed peaceful that night, but there were some turbulences inside.
The entire sect is spreading rumors about an alchemist who arrived today.
Since the poisoning of the sect leader's wife has been kept secret for many years, not many people know about it, so the arrival of an alchemist in the sect is not a big deal. Generally speaking, it will not cause much fluctuation, but because Murong Murong today Zhu Er accidentally said the words "Master Ye", and rumors spread throughout the sect.
"Who is this Master Ye?"
"I heard that this man is very young and dares to call him 'Master'. With Master Yan's alchemy attainments, he wouldn't dare to be so proud, right?"
"This person was personally invited by Miss Pearl. Maybe he really has some abilities!"
"..."
There were various conversations happening throughout the sect. Disciples were whispering, and the topics they were talking about were all related to today's "Master Ye."
However, because the other party stayed in the guest room after arriving at Huayu Sect and never showed up, everyone was curious about his identity and did not see him in person.
Ordinary disciples don't know the purpose of "Master Ye"'s arrival, but those alchemists who have been responsible for exorcising poison from the head's wife are very clear about it.
Compared with others, these alchemists watched with aloofness, with the mentality of watching a good show, waiting for a big show to be performed tomorrow.
…
"Father, Master, this is the process. This Ye Chunyang can condense his palms into elixirs and has extraordinary attainments. The three flavors of true fire he has condensed are even better. Zhu'er is confident that he will be able to detoxify his mother."
Late at night, on a certain quaint tower, Murong Zhuer was talking to a middle-aged man.
The man has a tough face and is wearing a purple brocade robe. He is calm and intimidating, exuding the air of a superior.
It was Murong Minghai, the headmaster of the Huayu Sect.
"You just said that you agreed to use Jiuli True Fire to invite him to take action?"
Murong Zhuer finished speaking for a long time, and there was silence in the tower without any reply.
After a long time, Murong Minghai slowly asked.
"Yes, my daughter did agree to this matter." Murong Zhuer said.
Murong Minghai fell silent again, and then suddenly said sharply: "Zhu'er, you are so brave!"
Murong Zhuer's face turned pale, and she hurriedly knelt down and said: "Zhu'er deserves death for her crime, but the cold poison in her mother's body has invaded her bone marrow. If it cannot be expelled, her lifespan can be extended for up to three years. My daughter really cannot bear the death of her mother. That’s why I’m good at making opinions.”
"Do you know what the Nine Li True Fire means to our sect?" Murong Minghai said angrily.
"My daughter knows that the Nine Li True Fire is the spiritual fire inherited by our sect. All Fire Spiritual Root cultivators can greatly increase their spiritual energy cultivation. Once it is lost, it will be a great loss to our sect." Murong Zhuer nodded.
"Since you know, why do you act so hastily?" Murong Minghai asked again.
"It's a matter of life and death for the mother, so the daughter has to do this!"
Murong Zhuer's face was firm.
She looked up at Murong Minghai and said, "Don't father hope that mother can get rid of the pain of cold poison and that the three of us can have family happiness again?"
Murong Minghai was shocked.
He raised his head and looked at the night sky. After being silent for a long time, he finally sighed: "Why don't I want to remove the cold poison from your mother? But not to mention that Jiuli True Fire is of great importance, it is the alchemist named Ye. "What if he can't detoxify your mother?"
"If he can't detoxify, this matter will naturally be dropped." Murong Zhuer said.
She lowered her head slightly, her eyes flickered for a moment, and then her voice suddenly dropped, "And my daughter voluntarily allowed him to plant a restriction in her body. If the father does not agree to this, there is no need for him to activate the spell, and the daughter will die on her own to apologize. "
"What did you say?"
Murong Minghai's eyes turned cold.
Murong Zhuer lowered her head and said nothing.
"Why are you so confused! How much do you know about that man named Ye? You actually let him set a curse inside your body. How can you prevent him from plotting against you?" Murong Minghai's face alternated between shock and anger. As he spoke, he raised his hand to curse Murong. Zhu'er pressed her forehead, and her spiritual consciousness penetrated her body, and she found a restriction.
"Father, there is no need to waste your efforts. My daughter willingly let him cast this forbidden curse. If it is forcibly lifted, my daughter will die on the spot." Murong Zhuer said with a bitter smile.
She knew that her father wanted to use her perfect cultivation in the Golden Core realm to break Ye Chunyang's forbidden curse for herself, but at that time Murong Zhuer had already had a premonition that once the curse was forcibly broken, she would die immediately.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
"What a Ye Chunyang! He used such despicable means to threaten you. I must settle this account with him!"
Murong Minghai shook his sleeves and said coldly and angrily.
"Father! My daughter said that this matter was of my own free will. Please don't embarrass Fellow Daoist Ye!" Murong Zhuer said hurriedly.
Murong Minghai snorted coldly.
Just as he was about to say something, a voice suddenly came from outside the tower: "That's enough!"
Murong Minghai's face straightened when he heard this, and he quickly turned around and bowed to the void.
Murong Zhuer also seemed to feel something, and her face showed solemnity.
After the words fell, several thunderbolts and lightning flashed around the father and daughter. A white-haired old man wearing simple linen clothes appeared out of thin air. He looked senile, but his eyes were like those of an eagle. His whole body was filled with vast fluctuations, giving people a deep feeling. A sense of unpredictability.
"Junior, see my uncle."
"Zhu'er kowtows to the master!"
The father and daughter saluted solemnly.
This old man is clearly the authority of their Huayu Sect, the Supreme Elder who has perfected the Cave Heaven Realm, Mu Xuanyi.
"It's all free of charge."
Mu Xuanyi waved his hands lightly and sat down at the top.
After looking at the father and daughter separately for a while, Mu Xuanyi's face was expressionless, and he suddenly said to Murong Minghai: "You, a junior, are still so old-fashioned and discipline your daughter so harshly. How can a girl's family bear this? "
Turning his eyes towards Murong Zhuer, Mu Xuanyi showed a doting smile.
Murong Minghai was stunned.
He smiled bitterly in his heart, but said seriously on the surface: "Junior knows that my uncle has always loved Zhu'er, but this girl is too courageous. She dares to make her own decisions regarding Jiuli Zhenhuo. Even if it is his own daughter, this junior will never do it." Don't be lenient."
"Okay, put away your pretentious words. I love this girl so much. How dare you lay a finger on her?" Mu Xuanyi rolled his eyes and interrupted Murong Minghai impatiently.
Murong Minghai was immediately speechless.
In response to Mu Xuanyi's words, his protective attitude was very obvious. The entire Huayu Sect knew that Mu Xuanyi had always been the most doting on Murong Zhuer, even to the extent that he, his father, was the most doting.
"Thank you, Master." Murong Zhuer said politely.
Mu Xuanyi waved his hands with a chuckle and said: "I heard the argument between your father and daughter just now. Zhu'er, you girl who makes your own decisions and promises the Nine Li True Fire to others is indeed an offense against our sect. Taboo, this is not a small crime.”
"Zhu'er admits his guilt!" Murong Zhu'er admitted obediently.
Before she could finish her words, she heard Mu Xuanyi say: "But as long as I'm here, no one dares to accuse you. Just accept Jiuli Zhenhuo, so what's the harm?"
When these words came out, both father and daughter were immediately startled.
Unexpectedly, the Tai Elder protected his shortcomings to such an extent, even Murong Zhuer was surprised.
However, she was determined that with Mu Xuanyi's words, the agreement with Ye Chunyang was truly fulfilled.
"But Uncle Master, Jiu Li True Fire is the most precious treasure inherited by our sect, how can we let others take it away easily?" Murong Minghai still couldn't help but said.
"It doesn't matter. It's true that the Jiuli True Fire is the most precious treasure of our sect, but that boy seems to only have the cultivation level of Daoji Realm, right? It's not certain whether he can take it away, not to mention that what he wants to save this time is your woman, you Although you object on the surface, you really want him to take action, right?" Mu Xuanyi rolled his eyes and snorted.
Murong Minghai was so retorted that he couldn't help but touch his nose and was speechless.
"According to what Zhu'er said, the man surnamed Ye can condense his palms into elixirs. This kind of alchemy can only be accomplished by people who have reached the master level. Maybe he can really save people." Mu Xuanyi said meaningfully. He smiled and said, "And I still hope he can do it."
"Uncle Master means..." After hearing this, Murong Minghai suddenly thought of something and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Mu Xuanyi stood up calmly and said: "That thing has been hidden under the Jiuli True Fire for thousands of years. All our ancestors have wanted to get it. It's a pity that the Jiuli True Fire has a special spirituality and cannot be conquered by ordinary people. I have sent all the sect leaders and Tai The skills practiced by the elders are incompatible with it and cannot be conquered. If someone can take away the Nine Li True Fire, it will be a loss for our sect on the surface, but if we can exchange this fire for that thing, it will also be of great benefit to us. "
Murong Minghai's eyes flickered when he heard this.
After a while, he took a deep breath and lowered his voice and said: "Uncle Master may have forgotten one thing. Our sect has been training for generations. If someone can conquer the Nine Li True Fire, he can be an elder if he is above the Golden Core Realm and below the Spiritual Transformation Realm. As the Holy Son, our sect needs to devote all its resources to training him. If this son really takes away the spiritual fire, don’t we really have to comply with the training? "
"The words of the ancestors cannot be violated, but whether he can help Zhu'er's mother get rid of the poison is still a matter of debate. It's too early to say this now." Mu Xuanyi said lightly: "Besides, we only agreed to let him get the spiritual fire. , whether he can take it away depends on whether he has the good fortune."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Murong Zhuer and asked, "Did you tell him that no one can conquer the Nine Li True Fire?"
"Never." Murong Zhuer said calmly.
"Look, after giving birth to such a smart and intelligent daughter, what else are you dissatisfied with?" Mu Xuanyi glared at Murong Minghai.
Murong Minghai smiled coquettishly, looking at his daughter with a hint of relief.
This move not only invites a skilled alchemist, but also does not violate the promise. How could the other party think that there would be difficulties in collecting the Nine Li True Fire?
"But that boy dared to cast a curse on Pearl. It's simply unreasonable. If he is really one of the lucky ones, that's all. If not, I will definitely take care of him and take out this bad breath on Pearl's behalf!"
At the end of his words, Mu Xuanyi showed an angry look on his face.
"Zhu'er took the initiative to ask Daoist Ye to cast this forbidden curse. Master, don't blame him. After he detoxifies his mother, whether he can conquer the Nine Li True Fire or not, he will promise to unlock the forbidden curse for me." Murong Zhu Er said.
"We don't know the details of this person, how can you trust him easily?" Murong Minghai frowned deeply.
Murong Zhuer's face showed bitterness as she continued: "And there is one thing that my father probably doesn't know yet. This person... is qualified to live in the heavenly spiritual chamber of the Lingxian Mansion!"
"What?"
Murong Ming opened his eyes wide and said, "You said he can stay in the heaven-level spiritual chamber of Lingxian Mansion? How is this possible?"
Mu Xuanyi's expression also changed.
