So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Tianhe Garden.

Bai Ruoxi slowly opened her eyes and slightly tilted her head to look at the sky outside.

Tonight, the Liangyi Sect was filled with crystal-like snow. The candlelight in the house was swaying. She gently touched her chest with her slender hand and slowly exhaled.

Bai Ruoxi got up and left the room. The cold wind blew outside, and the white palace skirt swayed in the wind. The expression on her fair and delicate face was as bright and cold as frost and snow. Her weak and cold temperament perfectly blended with the white snow floating outside.

As soon as she walked out of the room, she saw the yellow-skirted maid standing in front of the courtyard and staring at the snowflakes in a daze.

"Sister Mengrou, is Mulang not back yet?" Bai Ruoxi asked softly.

"I'm back, but I just went out again." Wei Mengrou replied, and then poured a cup of hot tea and placed it opposite the table.

Bai Ruoxi walked to the front of the courtyard, drank a sip of hot tea, and then continued to ask: "Where did you go?"

"I don't know." Wei Mengrou shook her head.

"He seems to be very busy recently." Bai Ruoxi lowered her eyes slightly, but she couldn't see her toes.

"But he came to me not long ago and asked me to give him a layer of concealment." Wei Mengrou said intentionally or unintentionally.

"Hide..." Bai Ruoxi tilted her head in confusion at first, and then her eyes flickered slightly.

Then, as if she had thought of something, she glanced in the direction of Ye Lingxuan, and her eyes gradually calmed down.

In the snowy night, there seemed to be a hint of darkness in those gentle eyes.

...

On the other side.

After confirming that Ye Siyu had left, Ye Lingxuan's eyes fell on Mu Zhian, with a look of resentment in her eyes, and said: "When did Brother Mu sneak into my room?"

"And he didn't tell me. If I mistakenly thought it was an enemy and didn't give you a chance to speak, wouldn't I transfer you to the Law Enforcement Hall?"

When she said this, she also felt a little relieved in her heart.

If it weren't for the fact that I happened to use my spiritual sense to scan Mu Zhian's body out of curiosity, I might have really sent this guy who was hiding in my room to the Law Enforcement Hall.

"I had to do this. If possible, I would like to come to you openly." Mu Zhian shook his head and sighed.

Ye Lingxuan's eyes moved slightly and stared at Mu Zhian.

"Could it be that there is something else that you can't tell me?"

"Every time I wanted to chat with you at night, didn't you refuse me?" Mu Zhian said.

"That's because Brother Mu always wants to do bad things." Ye Lingxuan immediately rolled her eyes at Mu Zhian.

Before, Mu Zhian wanted to stay in Ye Lingxuan's boudoir two or three times while the atmosphere was hot and have a good time with the girl, but he was rejected by Ye Lingxuan, who had a strong sense of anti-gank.

"I have never thought of doing anything bad. Sister Lingxuan misunderstood me too deeply." Mu Zhian said helplessly.

Ye Lingxuan said, "Brother Mu, dare you swear to the heaven?"

Swearing is meaningless... Mu Zhian came to Ye Lingxuan's side calmly, holding one of her little hands, and continued to pull her: "Are you still wearing makeup?"

A closer look will reveal that Ye Lingxuan actually put on some light makeup tonight. The faint fragrance of her body mixed with the faint fragrance of powder is refreshing, and there is a kind of charm that makes people intoxicated.

Ye Lingxuan without makeup is already a top-notch, and after the simple and elegant light makeup, she has a more mature charm.

"Brother Mu is changing the subject, right?" Ye Lingxuan saw through Mu Zhian's thoughts at a glance.

However, Mu Zhian did not respond. His palm touched Ye Lingxuan's smooth and tender face, and then a finger gently touched the elastic small red lips along her pretty face.

A trace of panic flashed across Ye Lingxuan's eyes, and she involuntarily moved her eyes away and whispered, "What, what?"

"Why do you want to put on lip balm when you have to rest at night? Did you know I would come tonight?" Mu Zhian stared at Ye Lingxuan's eyes, with a bit of teasing in his tone.

"I just want to try the color of this lip balm, and I'm just about to wipe it off." After Ye Lingxuan finished speaking, she took out a handkerchief.

But before she had time to wipe it, Mu Zhian immediately reached out and pressed Ye Lingxuan's wrist, staring at the girl's pretty face that was particularly bright and moving under the candlelight, and the small red lips that seemed to be shining.

Under Ye Lingxuan's doubtful gaze that subconsciously raised her head, Mu Zhian picked up the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Let me help you."

Under Ye Lingxuan's gaze, Mu Zhian's handkerchief was about to touch her lips.

However, at this moment, a pleasant voice suddenly came from outside: "Sister, can I come in?"

The moment this voice sounded, Ye Lingxuan almost shuddered, and looked at Mu Zhian. Under his staring gaze, she answered as calmly as possible: "Is there anything?"

"I seemed to hear some noise just now, so I want to ask if something happened to my sister." Ye Qian's soft voice came from outside the door.

Ye Lingxuan and Mu Zhian looked at each other and whispered: "It's okay... It's just that when I was accepting the inheritance, the Desolate Time Lock ran out and made a little noise."

The Desolate Time Lock poked out a lock from Ye Lingxuan's sleeve, and the shape turned into a "?"

Ye Qian didn't seem to think much, and said to herself: "Is that so..."

"It's getting late, go back and rest early. You just finished your inheritance today, but you haven't comprehended the skills yet, right?" Ye Lingxuan said in the tone of an elder sister educating her younger sister.

She also gently slapped away Mu Zhian's warm hand that was gradually moving down along her waist, with a bit of resentment in her eyes.

Doesn't Brother Mu know how to distinguish occasions? How can he mess around at this time...

Ye Lingxuan held her breath slightly, and her natural spiritual body was fully utilized at this time. She didn't let out a long sigh until she felt Ye Qian's breath disappear silently at the door. Then she whispered: "I'm scared to death. Brother Mu, aren't you afraid of being discovered by Qian'er?"

Although Ye Qian probably wouldn't say anything if she found out, she might be more excited when she saw her beloved Brother Mu and her beloved sister being intimate...

Mu Zhian put one hand on Ye Lingxuan's leg again and said seriously: "I know what's going on, don't worry."

"Stop making trouble, what is Brother Mu doing here tonight?" Ye Lingxuan gently slapped Mu Zhian's claws away.

If it were an ordinary person, Ye Lingxuan would have used the Chain of Desolate Time to throw the other party out without saying a word, but at this moment, feeling the warm breath brought by the boy beside her, she couldn't bear to let him go.

Mu Zhian obviously saw that the girl was reluctant to leave. He sat beside Ye Lingxuan, put one hand around his slender waist, and held Ye Lingxuan in his arms.

He lowered his head slightly, leaned close to her crystal earlobe, and whispered: "Sister Lingxuan has been in seclusion for so long, I miss you, so can't I come to find you?"

"Don't you miss me?"

Ye Lingxuan raised her eyes and saw Mu Zhian's affectionate eyes. The candlelight made the girl's peach blossom eyes sparkle.

After a while, she said "um" softly.

"By the way, I have something to give you."

Mu Zhian suddenly took out a special spiritual stone with a flashing purple light from the ring as if he remembered something.

It was only the size of a teacup, with a charming purple halo in the dark, which made people fascinated.

Ye Lingxuan subconsciously raised her head and looked at Mu Zhian, saying, "Purple Lightning Holy Rock?"

"Do you know this thing?" Mu Zhian asked in surprise.

As expected of the Saint of the Forbidden Zone, Ye Lingxuan had obviously heard of most of the special spiritual stones in the past, and immediately recognized what this special spiritual stone was.

He had only seen this thing in ancient books. In Dongzhou, such a teacup-sized Purple Lightning Holy Rock was worth more than 100,000 spiritual stones.

Ye Lingxuan subconsciously covered the ring and smiled, "I have seen it in ancient books before."

She paused and continued to smile, "Thank you, Brother Mu, I like it very much."

"I like it." Mu Zhian smiled.

He would not fall three times in the same place and do such an operation as giving away all the Aurora Crystals. The relationship between the Saint of Yao Chi and him was ordinary, and the girls around him knew this. Therefore, even if the Saint of Yao Chi really gave him the Aurora Necklace in the future, it would not be a big problem.

As for Lin Keyu, the girl's personality is similar to Ye Qian's. She is a simple girl who has not experienced much in the world. Naturally, she would not give him the Aurora necklace in front of everyone.

When it comes to Ye Lingxuan, the operation needs to be more delicate, and a different gift should be given.

After chatting with the girl in Ye Lingxuan's boudoir for a few words, Mu Zhian got up and planned to leave.

"Brother Mu is leaving?" Ye Lingxuan looked up at Mu Zhian with surprise in her eyes.

But what was hidden in her eyes was more reluctance.

She thought Mu Zhian would come to her secretly tonight, probably because the reincarnated queen said that the spirit of the ninth life was in his body, so he was ready to move tonight... But now it seems that she misunderstood Mu Zhian without authorization.

Brother Mu respected her very much, and he didn't really intend to force her to do anything in the name of reincarnation inheritance tonight...

Looking at Mu Zhian's figure getting up and about to leave, Ye Lingxuan couldn't help but feel a strong sense of shame in her heart, and gently patted her face.

He didn't plan to do anything bad tonight, but after getting some special spiritual stones in the Sword Palace, he thought of her the first time, so he secretly came here to give her a surprise, but he actually imagined a lot of messy scenes in his mind...

Originally, in Ye Lingxuan's imagination, Mu Zhian should take the opportunity to say something to make the girl happy, and then press her on the bed to tease her, and then...

"When did I become such a lustful girl..."

Ye Lingxuan, who has always been quiet and elegant, looked at Mu Zhian's serious appearance, and then thought of her own imagination tonight, and for a moment, she had the urge to get into the crack of the ground directly.

On the other side, when he was about to leave the room, Mu Zhian paused slightly, and under Ye Lingxuan's puzzled gaze, he came to the girl.

"Brother Mu, do you have anything else to say...?" Ye Lingxuan asked in a low voice, noticing Mu Zhian's gaze on her, and thinking of her imagination not long ago, she couldn't help but lower her eyes shyly.

"Didn't I just say I would help you wipe off the rouge? I almost forgot." Mu Zhian smiled.

Then, he picked up the handkerchief and suddenly covered Ye Lingxuan's eyes.

Before the girl could speak, her soft lips with a rosy luster were immediately occupied by Mu Zhian's lips. He tasted the coolness and softness brought by Ye Lingxuan's lips, as well as the rich spiritual energy of the reincarnation water.

The previous guess was indeed correct. Sister Lingxuan could be considered a small reincarnation pond... Mu Zhian sighed in his heart, staring at Ye Lingxuan's delicate face with a sense of three-dimensionality.

Ye Lingxuan finally reacted and subconsciously pushed away the handkerchief on her face. She wanted to say something in a voice transmission, but under Mu Zhian's affectionate gaze, she finally held back.

She slowly closed her eyes, her long and curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and her little hands half hung behind Mu Zhian.

After a while, she hooked his neck, pressed her hips on the table, and let Mu Zhian taste the lip balm she had just applied.

The broken snow outside the house gradually fell heavily, and the cold wind blew against the glass windows, and a faint whistling sound was heard.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Zhian finally let go of the girl. He looked at Ye Lingxuan's cute red face, raised his hand to wipe off the remaining rouge on her lips, and smiled, "I've cleaned it up for you."

Ye Lingxuan raised her eyelids and glared at Mu Zhian, but because her peach blossom eyes were still moist after the intimacy, not only was there no killing power, but it made people feel even more lovely.

Mu Zhian said goodbye at the right time and said, "It's getting late. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

"Okay."

Although Ye Lingxuan was a little reluctant, her inner shame made her hold back her words of retention. She watched Mu Zhian open the door and walk into the snowy night with heavy snow.

After the door was closed, she took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

The originally shy eyes gradually calmed down.

Only at this time did she seem to have turned back into the perfect goddess in the eyes of outsiders, who was polite and sensible but kept a certain distance from others.

Ye Lingxuan turned around and walked to the table, looking at the Purple Lightning Holy Rock in her hand, and then silently took out another Purple Lightning Holy Rock as big as a human head from the ring, and handed it to the Reincarnation Queen who had been silent in the corner.

"Keep this thing with you for the time being." Ye Lingxuan said.

The Reincarnation Queen tilted her head slightly and said, "Why...?"

"If Brother Mu finds out, it will cause unnecessary trouble. In addition, help me make two bracelets with this thing in the next few days." Ye Lingxuan also handed the other Purple Lightning Holy Rock that Mu Zhian had just given to the Reincarnation Queen.

"This one is too small, it may be a bit difficult... If it is made into a ring, there is no problem." The Reincarnation Queen said.

Ye Lingxuan pondered for a moment, nodded gently and said, "Then let's make a ring."

"If you want a bracelet, use another larger Purple Lightning Holy Rock." The Reincarnation Queen reminded.

"Then the meaning is different." Ye Lingxuan tapped her lips with her fingers, as if feeling the residual warmth of her lips just now.

"Why is it different...?" The reincarnated queen tilted her head slightly and said.

She was silent for a moment, and smiled: "Different is different."

"How can the gift given by Brother Mu be the same as my own things? You don't understand."

...

After returning to Tianhe Garden, Mu Zhian did not choose to go back to his room directly, but went straight to Bai Ruoxi's boudoir.

He quietly opened the door and saw the palace skirt beauty who was slightly closing her eyes and seemed to be meditating and practicing, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He turned around and closed the door, quietly came to the bed, sat cross-legged beside Bai Ruoxi, and was about to enter the state of meditation and practice.

However, at this moment, a pleasant and soft voice suddenly came from his side: "Is Mu Lang trapped in the Sword Palace today? Why did you come back so late?"

Bai Ruoxi quietly opened her eyes at some point, with a hint of tenderness in her beautiful eyes.

But for some reason, that gentle look made Mu Zhian feel an inexplicable danger.

After a brief hesitation, Mu Zhian chose to confess, saying: "I went to Sister Lingxuan today and talked to her about reincarnation of spiritual energy."

"Reincarnation of spiritual energy?" Bai Ruoxi, who had planned to watch Mu Zhian's "performance", couldn't help but have a hint of doubt in his eyes when he heard this.

He actually confessed...?

Originally, he had already prepared to use the heart lock...

"Yes, I went to find Sister Lingxuan for the matter of reincarnation of spiritual energy."

Mu Zhian glanced at the heart lock that Bai Ruoxi stuck out of her sleeve without leaving a trace, and then looked at the girl gently, saying: "Sister Lingxuan got a legacy in the restricted area in the past, and that legacy finally needed some help from me... I went to her tonight for this matter."

Under normal circumstances, Bai Ruoxi should be meditating and practicing at this time, but tonight he has not done so for a long time. It is obvious that Wei Mengrou must have leaked the news about his young master.

Since there is no way to fool around, I can only explain it seriously.

But the maid really hopes that her young master will have some problems... It's obvious that she should hide this kind of thing for him.

Sure enough, I was too kind to Sister Meng Rou before. After she lost the bet last time, I should have taught her a lesson... Mu Zhian couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

But from the looks of it, Ruoxi doesn't seem to be quiet tonight... Mu Zhian noticed that the cold chain was silently protruding from Bai Ruoxi's sleeves, as if it wanted to quietly tie him up.

"Ruoxi, look at what that is!" Mu Zhian's eyes flickered slightly, and suddenly pointed behind Bai Ruoxi.

If it were an outsider, this top-notch beauty would never be fooled, but because it was Mu Zhian, this childish trick actually worked.

Bai Ruoxi turned her head subconsciously, and at this moment, Mu Zhian seized the opportunity, grabbed the heart lock, and approached Bai Ruoxi's snow-white wrist.

"Is there something behind me?" Bai Ruoxi turned her head and looked over, and at this moment, Mu Zhian was quick-witted and directly used the heart lock to handcuff her hands together.

Bai Ruoxi: "..."

Miss Bai didn't react until then, raised her eyes slightly, and glared at him in shame and anger: "Quickly let go!"

"You took out this heart lock secretly, didn't you want to play a game with me? Did I misunderstand?" Mu Zhian put one hand on Bai Ruoxi's shoulders and whispered softly in her ear.

"It ran out by itself, it has nothing to do with me..." Bai Ruoxi's eyes flickered slightly, and there was a trace of panic in her eyes.

Obviously, the love lock was hers, and with her strength, it was easy to counter Mu Zhian. However, when she was held in Mu Zhian's arms, she was flustered like a deer in her heart, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

Mu Zhian took advantage of the victory and pressed her shoulders with both hands and pushed gently.

Bai Ruoxi lay back and saw the beams of the ceiling and Mu Zhian's handsome face, which was stained with a warm luster under the candlelight.

He pulled up the quilt and then got into the bed.

Bai Ruoxi was about to speak, and at this moment, as if she noticed something, her body stiffened slightly, lowered her eyes and looked at the boy in her arms, with a shy luster in her eyes, and stretched out her hand to push him away, but because of the love lock, this action seemed extremely difficult.

Bai Ruoxi had to bite her lips lightly, as if she was trying her best to suppress some sound.

After a while, Mu Zhian poked his head out of the quilt, looked at Bai Ruoxi's blushing face, stroked the pretty face of the beauty, and said softly: "Do you like it?"

Bai Ruoxi subconsciously turned her face away from him and whispered: "Hate..."

However, the heart lock responded to Bai Ruoxi's words at this time, expressing the meaning that the owner was lying.

Bai Ruoxi's face became redder and redder. She never expected that the 'Dao' she chose in the Refining Spirit Realm would be a traitor and stand on Mu Zhian's side.

"What if she wakes up..." Bai Ruoxi had to change to 'threatening' words.

Mu Zhian naturally knew that the "she" Bai Ruoxi was talking about was another spiritual consciousness that was still sleeping in her body at this time, the Palace Master of the Sword Palace.

But he was not afraid at all. He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled lightly: "The Palace Master is here, and he will suppress it as well!"

Anyway, it's not all Bai Ruoxi. She is not even as big as Ruoxi.

After all, the scabbard must be bigger than the sword body, otherwise how to hide things?

Mu Zhian said no more, pulled the quilt, buried himself in her arms, and contributed his part to the Ascension Conference.

In this cold winter, only Ruoxi's heart can warm his heart.

...

The next morning.

The ground outside the house was covered with a layer of snow, and the weather was getting colder.

Mu Zhian got up refreshed, dressed, looked at Bai Ruoxi who seemed a little tired, and left the room contentedly.

Although he did not meditate last night, for Bai Ruoxi, the effect was several times stronger than meditation.

Mu Zhian sat in the courtyard, drinking tea, and gently clenched his fists, then shook his head and sighed.

Sure enough, it is still too difficult to conquer the peak with your own hands.

It should be said that it is really worthy of Ruoxi.

Mu Zhian sat in front of the courtyard with some emotion, drinking tea silently, and then took out two emperor-level medicinal herbs, trying to understand their growth process.

This time, all the people in Jiuzhou went to Liangyi Sect because of the three imperial-level medicinal herbs at the Ascension Conference, but Mu Zhian already had two imperial-level medicinal herbs in his hands.

Mu Zhian had confirmed these two medicinal herbs repeatedly before. First of all, the ability to prolong life is a common feature of imperial-level medicinal herbs, and this medicinal herb with purple petals seems to have other functions.

Mu Zhian was not very clear about the details, but he just felt that it was somewhat similar to his own practice, the Eight Desolate Dream Map. Perhaps after refining it, it would also benefit the practice related to dreams.

The other one was a golden flower, and there seemed to be a five-clawed golden dragon in the flower, sometimes roaring, sometimes wandering in the flower, with amazing momentum.

"If I can understand the secrets of these two imperial-level medicinal herbs, maybe my strength can be further improved." Mu Zhian said to himself.

It's just a pity that he still can't see through the secrets of these two medicinal herbs. He can only see but not use them, which is really a bit aggrieved.

At this moment, a bold idea suddenly popped up in Mu Zhian's mind.

Why not just refine it directly...?

If an emperor-level medicinal material is directly refined, the life span that can be extended is beyond people's imagination.

However, the time for refining is also nearly a hundred years.

However, so far, most of the golden fingers that Mu Zhian has obtained will eventually be swallowed up by the natural furnace, and then after being strengthened, they will be fed back to other girls around him.

Whether it is the heavenly energy given by the spirit dragon, the enlightenment seeds given by the Green Emperor, or even the spiritual energy of the reincarnation pool, etc., it is the same.

If even the emperor-level medicinal materials can also be further strengthened in the natural furnace, or they can be directly refined...

Mu Zhian thought for a moment and finally put down the tea cup.

"Gamble!"

There are two emperor-level medicinal materials. As long as you refine one of them, you will know whether it can be quickly refined and absorbed by the Tiansheng Furnace.

He stood up and came to the door of his room, and then said: "Sister Mengrou, I will be in seclusion for a while."

Wei Mengrou's figure appeared silently. Although she didn't know what her young master wanted to do, she still nodded lightly: "I will tell others not to come near this place."

Mu Zhian smiled at her and said, "If it succeeds, it will be helpful to you in the future."

Wei Mengrou had a trace of doubt in her eyes.

Mu Zhian did not explain, but walked into the room, sat cross-legged on the couch, and took out the golden flower.

The spiritual energy emitted by this emperor-level medicinal plant is like an ancient golden dragon, exuding a rich medicinal fragrance that is refreshing.

If someone saw this scene, they would definitely call him a prodigal. An emperor-level medicinal material must be thoroughly understood before refining to achieve the maximum effect. As a result, Mu Zhian did not understand it and directly planned to refine it. change.

Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment and tried to communicate with Yao Meng from the bottom of his heart: "Fairy, do you think it would be too wasteful for me to directly refine this emperor-level medicinal material?"

However there was no response.

Could it be that she was really sleeping instead of pretending to be asleep...? Mu Zhian thought to himself.

However, if there is no response from Yao Meng, then he can only rely on his own judgment...

Looking at the imperial medicinal materials in front of him, Mu Zhian hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Refining!

Waste is waste, you have to experiment to know whether the Tiantian Furnace is greedy enough...

Mu Zhian closed his eyes slightly and absorbed the golden spiritual energy into his body.

Imperial medicinal materials have grown for thousands of years, so naturally they cannot be refined in a short while.

If it were refined according to normal methods, it would take at least a hundred years.

But Mu Zhian chose to guide the first golden aura of the emperor-level medicinal materials into the natural furnace to try to wake up the natural furnace and let it refine it on its own.

The golden spiritual energy flowed into his body, and Mu Zhian felt unprecedentedly relaxed. The rich medicinal fragrance enveloped the spiritual energy, and seemed to want to flow into his own cauldron.

Sure enough, when the golden spiritual energy was about to enter the cauldron, the natural furnace suddenly reacted, and then, an inexplicable suction force directly absorbed the golden spiritual energy into the natural furnace.

Immediately afterwards, the golden flower that had no signs of withering suddenly withered quickly. On the golden flower, a spiritual energy like a golden dragon was quickly absorbed by the crazily running natural furnace.

It works!

Mu Zhian's eyes flashed with joy, he closed his eyes slightly and helped guide him.

"Ah... um~"

Nearly half an hour later, as the golden spiritual energy continued to pour into the natural furnace, a soft and sweet fairy sound suddenly came from Mu Zhian's body.

Immediately afterwards, Yao Meng quietly opened his magnificent green eyes.

"Sister Fairy, you're finally awake." Mu Zhian greeted him proactively.

Yao Meng was confused for a moment, and then after feeling the rich medicinal fragrance in the natural furnace cauldron, his eyes flashed slightly, and his red lips opened slightly: "You refined an emperor-level medicinal material?"

Mu Zhian nodded slightly and explained roughly what he had just thought.

"At present, it seems that the refining of the emperor-level medicinal material should have been successful." Mu Zhian said.

"It is indeed a success... The spiritual energy in your natural furnace is now more delicious than before." Yao Meng's sweet voice sounded in Mu Zhian's heart.

Then, she continued quietly: "But you should wait until I wake up before doing this."

"Is there any problem...?" Mu Zhian asked subconsciously.

"There is no problem, it can even be said to be perfect. Even the Hedao realm may not be able to refine an emperor-level medicinal material so perfectly."

Yao Meng paused and said quietly: "But... it might cause quite a stir."

If it weren't for the fact that the imperial medicinal materials were no longer so effective for her, I'm afraid she would be a little moved.

Generally speaking, it takes at least hundreds of years to refine an emperor-level medicinal material, and during this refining period, the aura of the emperor-level medicinal material will gradually disappear and be wasted.

Under normal circumstances, monks can only refine at most 50% of the efficacy of emperor-level medicinal materials, and the remaining efficacy will be wasted.

However, Mu Zhian's natural furnace cauldron directly refined and absorbed more than 90% of the spiritual energy of the emperor-level medicinal materials...

After that, Mu Zhian could directly give the refined golden spiritual energy to the people around him.

The original natural furnace cauldron was already a great temptation for other female cultivators, but now this emperor-level medicinal material...if spread, the consequences would be disastrous.

Pale golden spiritual energy floated in the air, and a strong medicinal fragrance overflowed into the room. The remaining less than 10% of the pale golden spiritual energy seemed to form a golden dragon, hovering in the sky of Tianhe Garden.

Outside the door, Wei Mengrou subconsciously turned her head to look at the closed door behind her, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"What a strong medicinal fragrance..."

…

Liangyi Peak.

Lin Ling, the cute royal sister with silver hair and red eyes, was biting a big chicken drumstick and enjoying the food cooked by Sect Master Shang Yanfei herself.

Beside Lin Ling, Shang Yanfei was wearing a black dress that outlined her exquisite and curvy figure. She was wearing a snow-white coat, and her temperament was classical and elegant. At this time, she was playing with the teacup in her hand.

"Aren't you going to participate in the Ascension Conference this time?" She suddenly asked casually.

Lan Murian, who was wearing a moon-white dress and had a cold and noble temperament, shook her head gently and said, "I have no intention of fighting with others, and it is not fair to others for a cultivator in the Return to Void Realm to participate in the Ascension Conference."

Nowadays, most of the people participating in the Ascension Conference are cultivators in the Refining Spirit Realm. Although Lan Murian is of the same age as everyone else, with her current realm, if she participates in the Ascension Conference, it is difficult to have any suspense.

"That's right, and you entered the sect a few years earlier than others, which is indeed not appropriate..." Shang Yanfei showed a thoughtful look, but did not continue to persuade.

"Aaa?"

At this time, Lin Ling, who was chewing a chicken leg, suddenly raised her head, as if she smelled something more delicious, and even the chicken leg in her hand was not fragrant.

She subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of Tianhe Garden, slightly raised her head to sniff, and then licked her elastic small red lips.

What kind of food did the imperial chef make without telling her...?

Lan Murian also noticed something, staring at the direction of Tianhe Garden, her eyes sparkling, whispering to herself: "What is he doing again...?"

Such a medicinal fragrance is too strong...

"He refined an emperor-level medicinal material." Shang Yanfei said.

Lan Murian hesitated at first, then looked at the woman beside him, and said in disbelief: "It takes at least a hundred years to refine an emperor-level medicinal material... How could he do it in less than a day-"

As if she thought of something, Lan Murian was slightly stunned and said to herself: "A natural furnace tripod..."

If it is a natural furnace tripod, it is not impossible.

After all, up to now, Mu Zhian has made quite a stir because of the Tiansheng furnace.

But...

"He made quite a big fuss this time." Lan Murian said faintly.

Shang Yanfei pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled brightly: "Since it has made such a big fuss, I guess some cultivators of the opposite sex can more or less guess something."

"How about adding another reward to the winner of this Ascension Conference?"

Lan Murian's eyes moved slightly, and he tilted his head slightly, looking at the tall beauty in a black dress with long black hair like a waterfall.

Shang Yanfei's mouth curled up slightly, outlining a very beautiful arc.

"For example... the winner can take your junior brother away, how about it?"
