So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Deep in the Sword Palace.

Bai Ruoxi closed her eyes slightly and sat in front of the soft couch. The skirt of her palace skirt could not hide her proud and plump chest, which was slightly covered by the curtain.

If you look at it from the perspective of an outsider, you will only think that she is simply meditating and practicing, but in fact, Bai Ruoxi is accepting the 108 sharp blades of light passed down by the master of the Sword Palace.

Almost every half an hour, a golden lightsaber surrounding the Sword Palace will turn into golden aura and enter Bai Ruoxi's chest.

This is the inheritance of the Sword Palace.

After the 108 lightsabers were completely transformed into aura and completely entered Bai Ruoxi's chest, the inheritance of the Sword Palace was completely completed.

"You seem to be a little uneasy. Are you thinking about him?" At this time, a voice suddenly came from the bottom of Bai Ruoxi's heart.

Bai Ruoxi slowly opened her eyes, and a woman with a similar figure to her appeared in front of her, but her temperament was more like a mature lady.

The Sword Palace Master, or in other words, Bai Ruoxi's other spiritual consciousness.

Bai Ruoxi nodded slightly and said softly: "Wouldn't this be a bit too much for Mu Lang... Not only me, but also Sister Lingxuan and Sister Qian'er like him very much. If he were to ask for it..."

Bai Ruoxi naturally heard what the Sword Palace Master and Mu Zhian said before. Although she really wanted to have Mu Zhian alone... But now if she asked him to ask for it with other people, she still couldn't bear it.

And it would also bring him a lot of trouble.

The Sword Palace Master looked at Bai Ruoxi with a smile in his eyes, and then shook his head slowly, saying: "You don't have to care about this matter. I will handle it properly after this, so that he can be at ease with us."

Bai Ruoxi is good in everything, but he is too simple. If the special physique like Tiansheng Luding is noticed by those vixens in the outside world, it is obvious that they will desperately pursue it and want to make Tiansheng Luding their own thing.

How could Mu Zhian, a young and energetic boy, withstand such temptation?

However, she couldn't let him have an ambiguous relationship with other girls.

"Just accept the inheritance with peace of mind, I will handle this matter properly." The Sword Palace Master said.

Bai Ruoxi hesitated after hearing this and said, "What are you going to do..."

The Sword Palace Master did not answer directly, but just drew a very beautiful arc at the corner of his mouth and said, "I have my own plan."

She needs to sleep in the 'scabbard' for a while. If she can be nourished by the Tiansheng furnace during this period, Bai Ruoxi can enter the Return to Void Realm as soon as possible and wake up from her sleep.

But if he is allowed to return to Liangyi Sect... he probably won't be able to be with Tiansheng furnace every day.

After all, according to Bai Ruoxi's memory, Mu Zhian has quite a few confidantes around him.

But if he is allowed to stay in the Sword Palace... there won't be so many troubles.

The Sword Palace Master stared deeply at a certain direction in the Sword Palace, as if she saw a young man in the hall through countless stone walls.

Then, she suddenly seemed to notice something, and subconsciously turned her head to look in a certain direction.

There were actually people besides herself who were secretly spying on him...?

The Sword Palace Master's eyes flickered slightly, staring at the direction of the Liangyi Sect. The next moment, a girl in a purple skirt appeared in her field of vision.

As if she had noticed someone's peeping, Ye Lingxuan also slowly opened her star-like purple eyes and turned her head slightly to look at the puppet beside her.

"What happened?" she asked softly.

The 'Reincarnated Queen' explained what had just happened, from her secret surveillance and protection of Mu Zhian to what was noticed by the Sword Palace Master.

"What should we do next? Continue to stare at him?" The puppet asked.

Ye Lingxuan turned her head slightly to look at the puppet beside her and smiled brightly.

"Keep watching... If anyone wants to do something bad, use this child to bring Brother Mu back."

The Chain of Desolate Time poked its head out from her sleeve, seeming to be ready to move.

...

Time passed silently, and three days passed unknowingly.

During these three days, Lin Keyu and others had adventures in the Sword Palace, and discovered spiritual mines in several places in succession. After injecting spiritual stones, they unlocked the formation of the spiritual mines and obtained some special medicinal materials in the Sword Palace.

Although it was painful, it was not unacceptable for the descendants of these ancient families.

After all, some medicinal materials and even the prescriptions for elixirs in the Sword Palace could not be bought with spiritual stones in the outside world.

"It should be said that he is worthy of being a descendant of an ancient family. As expected, his foundation is sufficient. Even the spiritual stones he carries with him are more than one million."

Mu Zhian played with the special spiritual stone in his hand and couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.

At this time, various special spiritual stones have been piled up in front of the magic circle. Some are emerald green, while others are enchanting red. These are special spiritual stones, and they are quite valuable.

Among them, Mu Zhian even saw a special spiritual stone that was translucent. In this translucent spiritual stone, you can also see a wisp of golden silk, shining with a faint crystal luster.

Aurora Crystal!

This is a special spiritual stone that only exists in the restricted area. At the beginning, someone used this thing to exchange for Nirvana Silk with the Saint of Yaochi, but in the end, Nirvana Silk was still snatched by Mu Zhian.

"This person's identity seems to be very extraordinary. He can even produce the Aurora Crystal..." Mu Zhian exclaimed in his heart.

For special spiritual stones like the Aurora Crystal, more cultivators will not choose to trade them, but will make them into necklaces and give them to important people around them.

At present, there are three Aurora Crystals, and judging from the size, they are enough to make six identical Aurora necklaces.

Mu Zhian picked out the three Aurora Crystals, and then thought for a moment, and picked out several special spiritual stones suitable for making necklaces from the formation.

Thinking carefully, it has been a long time since I gave gifts to the fishes, and occasionally I should let them feel my enthusiasm.

"Counting the thirteen spiritual mines wasted by Sister Meng Rou, this harvest is quite rich..." Mu Zhian sighed again in his heart, and then looked at the cold and long-legged yellow-skirted maid beside him with a little strangeness.

Not long ago, he asked Wei Mengrou to cut thirteen spiritual ores, and the result was that without exception, every spiritual ore was only air after being cut...

Even if Mu Zhian picked a spiritual ore and asked Wei Mengrou to cut it, there was only air inside.

It can only be said that the maid is not suitable for playing this kind of game.

As if she noticed Mu Zhian's gaze, Wei Mengrou glanced at him lightly: "What are you looking at?"

"It's okay... I just think that Sister Mengrou's luck seems to be a little too bad." Mu Zhian smiled.

Wei Mengrou turned her face away silently, leaving only a snow-white and beautiful side profile to Mu Zhian, and her red lips opened slightly: "It's just a coincidence."

She said so, but she was obviously still very unconfident, and even at the end she couldn't help but droop her eyes slightly, worried about gains and losses.

After cutting thirteen spiritual ores in a row, there was nothing inside. Even a fool could know that it was not that there was nothing in the spiritual ore, but that there was a big problem with her luck.

"It's okay. Even if Sister Mengrou doesn't have any spirit stones, I will still support you in the future." Mu Zhian spoke to comfort the maid.

Wei Mengrou glanced at him with disdain, and a teasing arc appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Rely on others to support your spirit stones?"

"Do you mean I can use my own spirit stones?" Mu Zhian found a blind spot.

Wei Mengrou: "..."

After a short silence, Wei Mengrou gave Mu Zhian a disdainful look again, and then curled her lips: "Just playing tricks."

"How many spirit stones did you collect this time?" She changed the topic.

"A rough estimate should be more than three million spirit stones?" When Mu Zhian said this, he couldn't help but smile.

Even he was a little surprised by the harvest this time. Although he knew that these ancient families had a deep foundation, he was still a little surprised that they could invest so many spirit stones in these spirit mines at once.

"It seems that the temptation of the first-grade technique is indeed very great, and they are willing to pay any price." Mu Zhian sighed.

It's just a pity that the first-grade technique in the Sword Palace is not in those spiritual mines.

In the final analysis, even if the first-grade technique is found, no one can learn it.

Because the technique was created by the Sword Palace Master, and the first condition for learning it is to be able to control 108 lightsabers.

This requirement alone has screened out 99% of the people.

But of course, Mu Zhian is not a black-hearted businessman, and he will not cheat these genius cultivators of too many spiritual stones. Except for the emperor-level medicinal materials, he did not take away all the other things, but left some in those spiritual mines.

In general, these immortal opportunities are what those genius cultivators can get, but after "processing", Mu Zhian became a middleman and took away their spiritual stones.

"More than three million spirit stones, if used purely for cultivation, I'm afraid I can soar to the fourth level of soul refining in a short period of time." Mu Zhian exclaimed in admiration, and then put these special spirit stones into the storage ring.

However, after storing nearly one million spirit stones, he soon encountered a new problem.

... The storage space of the storage ring is not enough.

"Sister Mengrou, can you lend me your storage ring first?" Mu Zhian tried to discuss it with Wei Mengrou.

However, Wei Mengrou just shook her head slightly and said, "My storage ring is already full."

Generally speaking, storage rings are also divided from the ninth grade to the first grade. The later the grade, the more things can be stored.

If it is a first-grade storage ring, it can even store a person in it.

Mu Zhian's Eight Desolate Dream Map actually has a similar effect, but if special spirit stones are stored in it, those spirit stones will be immediately swallowed by the Eight Desolate Dream Map, because this technique can evolve.

Its way of evolution, in addition to working day and night for fairies or other Yaochi saints, is to use spirit stones to "feed" the Eight Desolate Dream Map.

But just one evolution requires an amount of spirit stones beyond people's imagination, so Mu Zhian naturally did not consider it for the time being.

"I didn't expect to be stumped by a small storage ring..."

Mu Zhian fell into a brief contemplation.

In the end, Mu Zhian decided to take all the remaining special spirit stones that could not be put into the storage ring and "feed" the Eight Desolate Dream Map.

Then he continued to patiently "fish", watching the slowly growing special spirit stones in the hall, and felt quite a sense of accomplishment.

Half a day passed unknowingly, and the speed at which those special spirit stones emerged in the formation modified by Mu Zhian also slowed down a lot.

This also means that the spiritual stones carried by the descendants of the ancient families should have been almost consumed.

It seems that we can prepare to pack up and send them away... Mu Zhian looked at the dazzling array of special spiritual stones in front of him, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Just as Mu Zhian guessed, after more than three days of exploration in the Sword Palace, everyone's spiritual stones had been squeezed out almost completely, but everyone's face was not very unhappy, but rather quite satisfied with the harvest of this trip.

Although it was a pity that they could not open a first-grade technique from the spiritual mine in the end, at least some medicinal materials of the Sword Palace were found, and some people even got a second-grade technique.

Overall, it was not a loss.

However, after entering the Sword Palace this time, three people died, and two people from Ganyuan Pavilion were trapped in it by Mu Zhian's suspected magic weapon...

If this matter were to be spread, it would probably cause quite a stir.

After all, Gan Chen of Ganyuan Pavilion is a genius that everyone in Ganyuan Pavilion is looking forward to, and his cousin is also a well-known force in Dongzhou.

Of course, this matter has nothing to do with them.

Another day passed unknowingly.

On this day, when they noticed that the Sword Palace seemed to be emitting an extremely dangerous aura, everyone remembered what the Sword Palace Master had said before, so they left the Sword Palace with their gains.

On the other side, Lin Keyu followed behind everyone, pretending to leave, but after watching them leave the Sword Palace, she turned around and planned to go back to find Mu Zhian.

At this time, Ye Yu's voice suddenly came from behind, with a faint smile on his face, saying: "Miss Lin, do you need me to take you back?"

"I see that you seem to have consumed a lot of spiritual energy in the past few days. It may not be safe to go back alone."

Lin Keyu looked at this disciple of Liangyi Sect with a little surprise, as if he was a little surprised that he knew her physical condition.

Because she had just been seriously injured, her physical condition was not very good. If it weren't for the Huiyuan Pill that saved her life, she might have fainted by now.

Of course, although she was surprised, Lin Keyu still shook her head and refused in a reserved and cold manner: "Don't bother, Mr. Ye. The Sword Palace is not too far from my Xuanyin Palace, and I am used to traveling alone."

Seeing this, Ye Yu frowned slightly, with a bit of regret in his eyes.

If you miss a beauty like Lin Keyu this time, it will probably be difficult to get another chance... and according to rumors, the Xuanyin body can even benefit dual practitioners.

But the other party is the apple of the eye of the master of the Xuanyin Palace. No matter how dissatisfied he is, Ye Yu can't say anything at this moment. He can only bow his hands and fly away immediately.

Although he lost nearly 500,000 spirit stones this time, it is not too bad... at least he got two sixth-grade medicinal herbs.

Thinking about his own gains, and then thinking about Mu Zhian who disappeared after pulling out the bronze sword, Ye Yu felt a kind of happiness in his heart.

Warm reminder: If you find that clicking the next page will force you to jump to other websites, please use the "Chapter Error" or "Contact Us" at the bottom to inform us, we will deal with it as soon as possible, thank you for your understanding!

At that time in the mysterious hall, after Mu Zhian pulled out the bronze sword, his spiritual energy was obviously disordered. I think he should have fainted later.

This time, everyone got a lot of gains in the Sword Palace, only Mu Zhian went there in vain... Even if the Sword Palace disappears after this, he might disappear with the Sword Palace.

Just thinking of this, Ye Yu felt a little more carefree in his heart, holding the sixth-grade medicinal materials in his hand tightly, with a bit of fiery meaning in his eyes.

He wanted to use these two sixth-grade medicinal materials to refine pills that can speed up cultivation, so that he can prepare for the Ascension Conference!

…

On the other side, after watching everyone leave, Lin Keyu's beautiful eyes flickered, and she was about to turn around and return to the Sword Palace.

However, as soon as she turned around, she saw the young man who saved her walking slowly towards here.

He handed an ordinary ring to Lin Keyu and said with a smile: "Miss Keyu, these are the special spirit stones you consumed in the spirit mine before. Please calculate the number to see if there is any mistake."

The cold attitude just now disappeared silently, and Lin Keyu smiled brightly: "No need to calculate, I believe in you."

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and said: "I'll take you back."

"Or are you used to walking alone?" When he said this, there was a hint of ridicule in his tone, obviously because he had just heard the conversation between Ye Yu and Lin Keyu.

Lin Keyu was stunned at first, and then soon knew what Mu Zhian meant by what he said just now. She pursed her plump lips and rolled her eyes at him, which was quite playful like a girl.

The two of them were chatting, and unknowingly left the Sword Palace and flew to the direction of the Xuanyin Palace.

"By the way, I don't know what the young master's name is?" Lin Keyu suddenly remembered this.

At that time, she was being chased and killed in an emergency, so she had no chance to ask the other party's name at all, and only remembered this matter now.

However, among the disciples of Liangyi Sect, there are not many who can suppress two cultivators in the third level of soul refining...

When Lin Keyu was thinking about this, she suddenly heard a familiar name in her ear.

She was slightly stunned, and then subconsciously glanced at the boy beside her.

"Mu Zhian...?" Lin Keyu's eyes were filled with surprise.

...

Xuanyin Palace.

The master of Xuanyin Palace seemed to have known that his daughter had returned, and had been waiting in front of the palace. When he saw the boy beside her, the master Lin Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little surprised.

His daughter actually came back with a cultivator of the opposite sex...?

And she only went to the Sword Palace for a few days?

"Dad!"

Lin Keyu stepped on delicate and small embroidered shoes and walked into the palace with lotus steps.

Lin Jing put his hands behind his back, glared at his daughter, and said unhappily: "Are you willing to come back?"

Lin Keyu playfully stuck out her tongue, obviously knowing her problem.

Lin Jing's eyes fell on Mu Zhian again, with a bit of doubt in his eyes, and he said: "Who is this young friend...?"

Although he had heard of Mu Zhian's name, Lin Jing had never seen this person before, so it was no wonder that he didn't recognize a living person standing in front of him at this time.

"I am Mu Zhian. I happened to meet Ling Qianjin in the Sword Palace this time. Many things happened, so I came back with her." Mu Zhian said respectfully with a fist.

"Mu Zhian...?"

Lin Jing's eyes moved slightly, and then he looked at his daughter strangely.

Didn't Lin Keyu run away from home this time because she opposed his unauthorized proposal of marriage? As a result, after running to the Sword Palace, she met the person she proposed to...

And from this point of view, his daughter obviously has a good impression of him...

For a moment, even the helmsman of the top forces in Dongzhou didn't know what to say.

As if she couldn't stand Lin Jing's meaningful gaze, Lin Keyu suddenly said, "Dad, the reason I met Master Mu this time is actually because..."

Under Lin Jing's gaze, Lin Keyu roughly explained what happened in the Sword Palace, and when he heard the end, Lin Jing was unexpectedly calm.

"Those two evil beasts dared to attack Keyu, it must not be their own idea, and other forces must be involved." Lin Jing said slowly.

Then, his eyes fell on Mu Zhian and said, "Friend Mu, can I handle those two people?"

Mu Zhian nodded slightly, and threw Gan Chen and the other two out of the Eight Desolate Dream Map together.

The two hadn't even reacted yet, but when they saw Mu Zhian, they were extremely angry at the first time, and their spiritual energy burst out.

"Hmph!"

At this time, Lin Jing snorted coldly, and a big hand slapped down from the void, suppressing the two directly.

Then, he looked up at Mu Zhian, his eyes softened a lot, and said: "I will handle this matter properly, and will not cause any trouble to you, young friend Mu. If you don't mind, you can stay in my Xuanyin Palace for a few days, and I will have someone treat you well."

Mu Zhian was not very interested in the intrigues between these big forces, so he raised his hands and bowed, saying: "Junior will have other things to deal with later, so I'm afraid I have to leave first..."

Lin Jing heard this, although he wanted to keep him, but seeing that Mu Zhian was determined to leave, he had to let Lin Keyu send him off.

The two walked on the square in front of the hall. The cold winter wind blew. Lin Keyu's silk dress fluttered in the wind, and her hair was messy. She turned her head and looked at Mu Zhian, and said softly: "Mr. Mu, are you really not going to stay for two days? I haven't thanked you for your kindness this time..."

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled: "There will be a chance next time. I do have something important to do this time, so there is no way."

Lin Keyu's eyes were a little disappointed, but she hid it well in her heart.

Unconsciously, the two left the hall soon. Mu Zhian raised his hands and clasped his fists and said: "Miss Keyu, you don't have to see me off. Just stop here."

Lin Keyu opened her red lips slightly, looking at Mu Zhian's leaving figure, and wanted to say something.

For her, Mu Zhian's appearance and departure were like a dream. The time they spent together was not long, but Mu Zhian left a very good impression on her, and the mysterious feeling on him was also quite attractive.

For a girl who had a fantasy of a pink romance, Mu Zhian met all the characteristics of her Taoist partner.

However, the two of them could only be called casual friends now, and the shy girl naturally felt embarrassed to ask for him to stay.

At this time, Mu Zhian paused slightly, turned around, and said with a smile: "By the way, Miss Keyu also helped me a lot this time, and I should give you some rewards."

Under Lin Keyu's gaze, he handed a very beautiful aurora crystal to her.

"I wanted to give her a necklace, but unfortunately it's too late to process it. Miss Keyu can take it and process it herself. This Aurora Crystal can also be used for some blessing during daily cultivation."

Lin Keyu's eyes moved slightly, looking at the Aurora Crystal in her hand, and subconsciously glanced at Mu Zhian, and whispered: "This should be able to make two necklaces..."

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, looking at Lin Keyu's delicate and beautiful features, and the peach blossom eyes that gazed at him, revealing a spring breeze smile

"Will you also participate in the Ascension Conference in a while?"

Lin Keyu hesitated for a moment, but still nodded gently.

"Then wait until you ask someone to make a necklace, and then send me another one after you come to the sect in a while." Mu Zhian smiled.

Lin Keyu was slightly stunned, and then lowered her eyes slightly.

"Okay."

...

After leaving Xuanyin Palace, Mu Zhian returned to the Sword Palace in a good mood. In the hall, he admired the two emperor-level medicinal herbs he had taken not long ago, and patiently waited for the inheritance from Bai Ruoxi to end.

Each emperor-level medicinal herb takes ten thousand years to grow, and even the strong men in the Hedao realm are reluctant to take it directly.

If you can understand the mystery, it will be of great benefit to the cultivators.

The Sword Palace Master is really a rich lady. She even gave me this thing directly... It makes me feel a little embarrassed to eat soft rice.

Mu Zhian looked at the purple petals of one of the emperor-level medicinal herbs, and couldn't help but sighed from the bottom of his heart.

A day later, the sharp blade of light outside the Sword Palace had completely dimmed, and in the depths of the Sword Palace, the curtain blew silently, making the Sword Palace Master's beautiful face particularly moving.

On this day, there was a slight vibration in the hall. When Mu Zhian noticed a familiar breath coming from the depths of the Sword Palace, he subconsciously looked over and saw the Sword Palace Master in a dark white dress walking towards him.

Mu Zhian immediately stood up and greeted her. After glancing at her chest, he confirmed that she was the Sword Palace Master and not Bai Ruoxi.

Mu Zhian couldn't help but ask doubtfully: "Is the inheritance not over yet?"

If the Sword Palace inheritance is over, shouldn't the Palace Master be "asleep"?

"Or did something unexpected happen to the inheritance?" Mu Zhian continued to ask.

The Sword Palace Master shook her head and smiled: "The inheritance is over."

Behind her, there seemed to be a gorgeous golden lightsaber floating. It was formed by the fusion of 108 lightsabers. As long as she raised her fingertips, the golden lightsaber could be divided into thousands of sword blades.

Then why aren't you sleeping yet... Mu Zhian complained in his heart.

As if guessing what Mu Zhian was thinking, the Sword Palace Master smiled and said, "I still have something to talk to you about."

"Palace Master, just say it." Mu Zhian said.

The Sword Palace Master casually played with a strand of hair, raised his eyes and stared at Mu Zhian, and said, "Do you want to consider staying in the Sword Palace for a while?"

Mu Zhian was stunned at first, then immediately reacted, shook his head and smiled, "Palace Master, you are joking. The Ascension Conference will be held in a while, and I am worried that if I don't go back, some friends in the sect will worry about me-"

The Sword Palace Master smiled and said softly, "If you are talking about someone like my sister, I have already told them a few days ago."

Mu Zhian was slightly stunned: "You... who did you tell?"

"I noticed that there was a mysterious strong man spying on you in secret, so I took the opportunity to explain it to her." The Sword Palace Master smiled charmingly.

Mysterious strong man?

Qingdi?

Or...the puppet sister next to Ye Lingxuan?

"It's a puppet differentiated from a powerful person in the Hedao realm. In the past, people called her the reincarnated queen." The Sword Palace Master smiled.

Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment, and then as if he remembered something, his eyes slowly widened a little.

"Have you told Lingxuan?!"

"I mentioned this to her puppet." When the Sword Palace Master said this, he raised his hand and gently stroked Mu Zhian's handsome face.

"What do you think about staying in the Sword Palace for a while, Mu Lang?"

At this moment, her voice seemed to have become as gentle and pleasant as Bai Ruoxi's voice, pleasant to the ears, and there was a kind of magic that made people's eyes involuntarily attracted to it.

Mu Zhian wanted to refuse, but when he raised his head, he only saw a pair of mean hearts and the gentle gaze of the Sword Palace Master.

So big and white...

Mu Zhian hesitated for a while, but never refused.

Thinking about it carefully, it would be okay to stay in the Sword Palace until the Ascension Conference begins, right? Anyway, there are less than ten days left before the Ascension Conference begins.

If I can feel the heart of the Sword Palace Master in these ten days... then it will be a great profit.

The Sword Palace Master's mouth curled up slightly, outlining a very beautiful arc: "It seems that you don't have any opinions, so let's decide--"

Before the voice fell, the Sword Palace Master seemed to have noticed something, and subconsciously turned his head to look in a certain direction outside the Sword Palace.

There seemed to be a faint sound of chains colliding with each other in the hall.

Whoosh!

The ancient atmosphere filled the hall, and then a chain suddenly stretched out from the void, and the golden chain was directly wrapped around Mu Zhian's wrist.

Then, a pleasant voice sounded lightly in the hall: "Sorry, if he has to stay somewhere, he should go back to the restricted area with me, instead of staying in the Sword Palace."

The Sword Palace Master stared at the golden chain coming from the void, and inadvertently narrowed her beautiful eyes.

"...Lock of Desolate Time?"
