So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

When hearing the question from the first generation leader of Canghai Peak, Mu Zhian looked at her with a little surprise.

Then, he was relieved soon.

That's right, these are all cultivators in the Return to Void Realm, and it is not difficult to detect the changes in a disciple's spiritual energy.

"The junior is indeed a natural furnace." Mu Zhian replied respectfully.

Ying Guhuan looked at Mu Zhian with a smile, and then nodded slightly: "You can leave first. If there is anything later, I will notify you."

Mu Zhian clasped his fists to the woman in the red skirt, and then turned around and left the back mountain of Canghai Peak. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Although this woman is beautiful, she is still not as good as Ruoxi... It's not just because the other party is a shark, but the current information shows that the other party is very likely the "seventh seat" mentioned by the black-robed man that day.

If she is really the seventh seat, it must be ensured that the aura of the Heavenly Dao will not be detected by the other party.

This is a bit difficult to deal with... Mu Zhian fell into deep thought.

Now the Heavenly Dao Qi is in Bai Ruoxi's body, and this first-generation chief will not leave the back mountain easily, so the probability of discovering the Heavenly Dao Qi is very small.

But the probability of being discovered is very small, but what if someone reports it?

Mu Zhian left the back mountain and met the Daofeng elder who was waiting for him in front of the back mountain.

He bowed to the other party and said, "Meet the elder."

The female elder was outstanding in appearance and had a sexy figure. When she saw Mu Zhian, she showed a charming smile on her always cold face and nodded, saying, "Come with me."

Mu Zhian followed the female elder and unknowingly came to Daofeng, and saw Yu Ziyan who was meditating in front of the hall.

"Chief, I brought the person." The female elder behind him said.

"I know, you can leave first." Yu Ziyan still closed her eyes slightly.

The female elder hesitated and said, "First Seat——"

"Step down first." Yu Ziyan quietly opened her eyes and said with a smile.

Seeing the elder step down, Yu Ziyan stood up and motioned Mu Zhian to sit down at the seat beside her.

"Did friend Mu go to Canghai Peak just now?" The beautiful Taoist nun asked with a smile.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "Senior Yi Hao's master seems to be interested in my affairs, so she asked me some questions."

"Yi Hao's master?"

Yu Ziyan's eyes were a little surprised, and she whispered: "She actually met you?"

Could it be that she also knew about the Tiansheng furnace?

However, Ying Guhuan had never left Canghai Peak recently, so how did he know about this?

"What did she say?" Yu Ziyan asked.

"She just asked some questions, but didn't say much." Mu Zhian shook his head.

"What kind of person is that senior Ying?" He asked curiously again.

Yu Ziyan looked at Mu Zhian with a smile and said, "Young friend Mu, are you interested in that chief?"

There was a hint of teasing in her words.

Mu Zhian shook his head helplessly and said, "How dare I be interested in you, senior... I'm just curious."

"After all, I heard that the first chief was a very powerful person. It's natural that I'm a little nervous to suddenly summon you..." When Mu Zhian said this, he secretly looked at Yu Ziyan, hoping to get some information from her.

"I don't know much about the matter of the chief Ying. But I have met her once before, and she is indeed very strong." Yu Ziyan paused and continued, "But if I can break through one more level, I will soon catch up with her."

"The road to immortal cultivation is long. Many elders in the sect have been cultivating in the Return to Void Realm for a long time, and most of their time is spent in the Return to Void Realm."

Yu Ziyan played with the teacup in her hand and sighed, "It's not that cultivation is difficult, but each level requires a different perception. If there is not enough immortal fate, it will take a long time."

Mu Zhian was aroused and said, "Is it difficult to advance to the Return to Void Realm?"

Yu Ziyan smiled and nodded, "It's difficult, but the difficulty is the perception of the Return to Void Realm. Most of the elders in the sect, including me, have been stuck at a certain level for a long time."

At this time, her voice suddenly changed: "But if a ray of spiritual energy is injected into it at this time, there is a chance to be promoted directly..."

When she said this, her eyes inadvertently glanced at Mu Zhian.

Mu Zhian knew it well, but he sat up straight like a good boy, holding the teacup with both hands, took a sip, and said calmly: "Where does this spiritual energy come from?"

"Help from the outside world." Yu Ziyan said.

"This spiritual energy cannot rely on the spiritual energy in its own cauldron, but on... another cauldron."

The hint in this sentence is already very obvious.

And Mu Zhian also realized it at this time.

The Pavilion Master Yan recruited me as an inner disciple before, probably because he was greedy for my body...

He took a sip of tea and sighed: "I didn't expect that the practice of returning to the void realm is so difficult."

Then, he continued: "Senior has given me a lot of help. If there is anything I can help in the future, I will definitely do my best."

"But, with my strength, it will take a long time for me to help you..."

Yu Ziyan smiled and nodded: "Friend Mu is too modest."

After all, what is important is not Mu Zhian's strength, but his other cauldron.

With this cauldron, everything is possible.

Maybe, I can be promoted to the Enlightenment Realm someday in the future.

When Yu Ziyan thought of this, she looked at Mu Zhian's handsome face and suddenly remembered something.

If I remember correctly, the stronger the owner of the Tiansheng furnace is, the better the effect of dual cultivation will be...

After all, the stronger the strength, the greater the spiritual energy in the furnace.

And after being promoted to the Refining Spirit Realm, the furnace can be expanded more than doubled...

Yu Ziyan's eyes flickered slightly, and she took out two jade bottles from her sleeves calmly and placed them in front of Mu Zhian's desk.

Mu Zhian glanced at the jade bottle, hesitated, looked up at Yu Ziyan, and asked: "Senior, what is this...?"

"Intake Qi Pill, put it in the bathtub, and if you practice in it, the effect will be twice as good with half the effort." Yu Ziyan smiled kindly, her eyes full of the concern of an elder for a younger generation.

This is indeed a rich woman... Mu Zhian hesitated, shook his head and said, "Senior, I can't accept your things for nothing."

Yu Ziyan smiled and said, "This time you have recruited two young geniuses for my peak, I should give you some rewards, not to mention that my junior sister and I are from the same school and have a close relationship. Little friend Mu, don't refuse."

"There are a total of thirty Qi-absorbing pills in these two jade bottles. It is not difficult for me to refine this kind of pill, so don't worry, little friend Mu, accept it."

Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yu Ziyan with gratitude, and said respectfully, "Thank you, senior!"

Next, Yu Ziyan chatted with Mu Zhian for a few more words, and there was no lack of concern for the younger generation in her tone.

And in the end, she even sent someone to send Mu Zhian back personally.

Sure enough, the seniors in the sect are all good people, and they are all very generous...Mu Zhian looked at the female elder who was standing in front of him and was responsible for sending him back, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"My friend, what did the chief monk just say to you?" When approaching the Glazed Hall, the second elder of the Daofeng Middle Peak suddenly asked.

"We just chatted for a while, and then Senior Yu encouraged me to practice hard." Mu Zhian clasped his fists.

Does the chief monk want him to reach the Refining Spirit Realm as soon as possible... The second elder nodded calmly, raised his white hand lightly, took out a jade bottle from the ring and handed it to Mu Zhian.

"This is a fifth-grade pill, the Refining Spirit Pill. After taking it, you can restore some of your energy. If you feel tired after practicing, you can take one."

Mu Zhian was slightly stunned, secretly looking at the exquisite face of the second elder, and the eyes that stared at him like autumn water. After hesitating for a moment, he finally took the pill.

"Thank you, second elder. I can't repay your kindness today. If there is a need in the future, I will definitely go all out!" Mu Zhian repeated what he just said.

The second elder raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded with satisfaction, and asked about the well-being of the elders for a few more words, and then left.

How could the chief want to eat alone... After Mu Zhian was promoted to the Refining Spirit Realm and her training was over, it would be his turn.

...

Mu Zhian returned to Tianhe Garden, but did not go back to his room directly. Instead, he went to Linglong's room and knocked on her door.

"Aaa?" Linglong's voice came from the room.

Mu Zhian pushed the door open and saw the silver-haired beauty sitting in the room. There was a chess set on the table. Lin Ling played the black pieces. Every time a piece was placed, the white pieces would quietly emerge after a short pause.

She slightly tilted her head to look at Mu Zhian and knocked on the words on the table.

"What's the matter?"

Mu Zhian nodded slightly and said respectfully: "Sister Lin, I went to Canghai Peak today and met the first generation of the chief seat in front of the back mountain."

Suddenly, "senior" was changed to "sister", but Lin Ling did not seem to be dissatisfied. She just blinked her red eyes and looked at Mu Zhian in confusion, waiting for his next words.

"These chief seats seem to have a way to see the cauldron on my body... I wonder, if my sister transfers part of her luck to me in the future, and a part of the heavenly energy also enters my body, will it be noticed?"

"If so, it seems to be a bit troublesome for me..." Mu Zhian roughly recounted her worries and troubles.

Lin Ling looked at Mu Zhian calmly and wrote on the table: "What do you want to do?"

"Is there any way to shield your own cauldron and cover up the heavenly energy?" Mu Zhian asked.

Lin Ling pondered for a moment, nodded, took out a piece of white paper, tore it in half, and then wrote a strange ghost painting on it.

Then, she opened her lips slightly and whispered something.

After doing all this, she handed the two pieces of white paper to Mu Zhian.

"Is this all right...?" Mu Zhian looked at the silver-haired beauty with a plump chest in doubt, always feeling that it was a little unreliable.

Lin Ling nodded slightly.

Since the other party said so, Mu Zhian chose to believe Lin Ling and took the two pieces of white paper that were even torn a little unevenly.

"Thank you, sister!"

After asking Linglong for help, Mu Zhian left the room.

Lin Ling continued to play chess with a woman in a certain place in the house.

Mu Zhian took the two pieces of white paper and first went to Ye Lingxuan's villa, and then took out one-third of the Qi-absorbing pill and gave it to her.

"Qi-absorbing pill..." Ye Lingxuan was obviously a little surprised and looked at Mu Zhian in doubt, "Brother Mu, where did you get it from?"

Although this Qi-gathering Pill is a fifth-grade pill, the recipe is very rare and the difficulty of refining is extremely high. Logically, Mu Zhian should not have the Qi-gathering Pill on him...

Your master gave it to me because he coveted my body...Mu Zhian naturally couldn't say that, he just smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Lingxuan, just use it to practice hard. If it's not enough, I'll think of a way."

Ye Lingxuan hesitated and said, "You should keep this thing yourself. I don't really need it..."

"Lingxuan, do you think we need to be so clear about it?" Mu Zhian looked at the girl sitting in front of the window sill and asked softly.

Ye Lingxuan's pretty face was slightly red, but she didn't speak for a long time.

"By the way, this Qi-gathering Pill cannot be taken directly. It needs to be put into the bathtub. If Sister Lingxuan doesn't understand, I can also help..." Mu Zhian's ulterior motives were exposed.

Ye Lingxuan glared at the neighbor brother, and noticed his little thoughts, and whispered: "Go back, I know how to use it."

Say it's to help, and then who knows, she might suddenly say something like "Why don't I stay here and take a bath together to practice"?

Sister Lingxuan is so smart... Mu Zhian sighed in his heart, and after handing the pill to Ye Lingxuan, he had to leave the villa temporarily.

After returning to Tianhe Garden, he knocked on Bai Ruoxi's door.

Looking at the girl who opened the door, Mu Zhian handed the ghost painting talisman that Lin Ling had just drawn and half of the Qi-absorbing pill to Bai Ruoxi.

"Mu Lang, what does this mean...?" The cold and weak beauty tilted her head slightly, obviously a little confused.

"Carry this piece of white paper with you from now on. It can conceal the existence of the Heavenly Dao Qi for you." Mu Zhian explained, "And the Qi-absorbing pill is used for cultivation."

Mu Zhian paused, staring at Miss Bai's stunning appearance, and continued, "I'll teach you how to use it tonight."

I don't know if the bathtub is big enough. If not, I have to find a way to change to a bathtub that can accommodate two people...

Bai Ruoxi took the white paper handed by Mu Zhian, but looking at the Qi-absorbing pill in his other hand, he hesitated and said, "Mu Lang, this pill, why don't you keep it for your own cultivation?"

Mu Zhian reached out and held Bai Ruoxi's slender hand, looking at her gently: "No, we can digest these pills together."

"Send some to Sister Meng Rou later." Mu Zhian continued.

He was not worried that his cultivation speed would slow down after the Qi-absorbing pill was gone.

The conversation with Daofeng's head just now made him roughly see that Yu Ziyan was planning to "fatten the sheep" before taking action.

In this way... he is not in a hurry.

After all, Daofeng's chief has given her a Qi-absorbing pill, so her enemies will naturally give her one as well.

... Sister Yan's legs must be held tightly.
