So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Southern wilderness.

The wheels rattled.

The luxurious phoenix chariot made of amethyst stopped at the Space Temple in Southern Wasteland.

Not long after, the fairy with ethereal immortality and the most beautiful beauty in all nine provinces held up her skirt and got out of the phoenix chariot with the support of the female disciples from Yaochi who were accompanying her.

The strong wind caused her green dress to fly backwards, and the skirt was close to her tall and straight breasts. The thin dress could not hide her bulging figure. Every inch of skin on her body seemed to be shining with crystal light, and the white mist was hazy. , making it difficult for people to see clearly.

Yao Meng walked to the temple in an elegant manner, glanced at the Nanhuang maid at the entrance of the temple, and said in a soft voice: "Did the God of Space ask you to come here to wait for me?"

"Yes, the saint said that you will arrive today, so let me wait here and take you into the temple."

The maid guarding the door answered respectfully, and then bowed slightly: "Please follow the younger one."

Under the guidance of the maid, after a while, Yao Meng walked to the main hall on soft lichen and saw the woman who was already waiting in the hall.

She has a graceful figure, sitting upright, and her long, silky platinum hair complements her gorgeous white dress, which unreservedly highlights the disdainful temperament that a queen should have.

Regina, or rather Shae.

"Yesterday, a phoenix chariot entered our southern wasteland from Dongzhou. Along the way, many Southern Wasteland monks were curious about the hostess of the phoenix chariot. Some even couldn't help but attack the phoenix chariot. , but before he could touch the Phoenix Chariot, he was sealed in the furnace for several days..."

Xue Yi walked down the stairs step by step and came to Yao Meng. She carelessly smoothed the pleats on her chest and said softly: "Obviously you can come to Nanhuang directly to find me, but you have to take a phoenix chariot and go slowly Come on, sometimes you are really hard to understand.”

Yao Meng smiled: "Occasionally I want to see the scenery along the way, and it would be impolite to enter the Southern Wilderness Temple rashly, right?"

Xue Yi smiled and asked calmly: "Why didn't you see Mu Zhian today?"

"He is in Yuzhou." Yao Meng smiled.

Xue Yi's face changed slightly and her voice lowered subconsciously: "You left him alone in Yuzhou? Why?"

"No reason, it's just that I need to go out and I don't feel comfortable leaving him in Dongzhou." Yao Meng said lightly.

Xue Yi's eyes flickered and she said softly: "You don't feel at ease if you stay in Dongzhou, but you feel relieved if you stay with the Emperor of Medicine? You know clearly that if the Emperor of Medicine notices his natural furnace..."

Xue Yi did not continue because she saw something complicated flashing through Yao Meng's eyes for a moment.

Then, Yao Meng raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a slight smile: "If it is not safe to stay with the Medicine King, then shouldn't we bring him to the Southern Wilderness? But I think the God of Space has no interest in such a troublesome thing as taking care of people. ?”

I’m not interested in taking care of people, but I’d still be very interested in taking care of your husband…

Xue Yi's usually gentle expression now showed a hint of weirdness, and she hummed softly: "That's natural, I naturally have no interest in your husband... However, Regina seems to have a special affection for Mu Zhian Emotions, so I am thinking about her..."

Yao Meng hummed softly, and said with a half-smile, "I see... the God of Space is really considerate, and actually takes Regina's mood into consideration."

There was a teasing tone in his words.

Even if he deceived a silly girl like Linglong, the dignified Qing Emperor would not believe Xue Yi's words.

I'm afraid that since the last time he tasted the natural furnace cauldron, the god of space has begun to taste the marrow and understand its taste~

Xue Yi slightly raised her snow-white chin, her platinum smooth hair resting on Xiang's shoulders, and said in a soft voice: "Qing Emperor seems to have something to say?"

Yao Meng smiled lightly and talked about a seemingly irrelevant topic: "You must have heard of the body of the innate furnace, right?"

"It's natural. Why did you suddenly mention the natural furnace cauldron?" Xue Yi asked softly with a sweet voice.

"The natural furnace cauldron is closely related to the realm of the person. The higher the realm, the greater the benefits that can be obtained after dual cultivation with it... But throughout the ages, most of the natural furnace cauldrons, even if they practice dual cultivation with it, the benefits they can actually obtain are limited. ...Even some low-level natural furnace cauldrons can only add a bit of emotion during dual cultivation."

Yao Meng nonchalantly played with a strand of hair with her fingertips, her gentle eyes filled with compassion for all living beings. She raised her eyes and said softly: "But you should know what my husband's natural furnace is like." Bar?"

An unnatural look flashed across Xue Yi's face, and she smiled lightly and said, "I have never had any intimacy with your husband, so how could I know about these things?"

Yao Meng did not get entangled in this matter, and wrote lightly: "When he was in the Qi training state, he had the furnace of the God refining state. After the God refining state, his natural furnace evolved to return to the void."

"And during the Immortal Ascension Conference, he took a pill, which allowed the Tiansheng Furnace to complete its evolution again."

"The God of Space might as well take a guess, what will his natural furnace be like when he reaches the realm of enlightenment?"

Boom!

Almost at that moment, Xue Yi opened her eyes suddenly, her heart beat faster, and she stared at the fairy in front of her with burning eyes.

"He Dao... even a natural furnace that is higher than He Dao?" She lowered her voice subconsciously and tried to stay calm as much as possible.

Yao Meng smiled faintly and said: "Maybe...but there is a prerequisite for now, that is, he can successfully enlighten."

"You should know how dangerous the road from returning to enlightenment to enlightenment is, right?"

Xue Yi nodded silently.

If in the Return to the Void realm one becomes a powerful person in Kyushu and becomes the target of attracting talents for those ancient aristocratic families, then in the Enlightenment realm, one can do whatever they want in this world as long as one does not offend the great master of Hedao.

However, the road to enlightenment is too difficult. Judging from past historical records, it is good to have two or three people who can achieve enlightenment among a thousand return to the virtual realm.

Since the rules of heaven and earth were rewritten not long ago, there are at least more than a thousand people who have tried to achieve breakthroughs and enlightenment, and have finally fallen into the catastrophe.

"The road to becoming an immortal is long, and the way of heaven is ruthless. If you want to achieve enlightenment and extend your life, you have to bear the threat of heavenly tribulation."

Yao Meng changed her voice and said quietly: "But if there is Jiuding to refine the Xu Dan, and with the help of the innate Tao embryo, the success rate of enlightenment can even be increased to 60 to 70%."

Xue Yi did not answer, her voice was as soft and cold as usual: "So you asked me for the Black Flame True Leaf in the Southern Wilderness before, was it really for this Nine Cauldron Refining Void Pill?"

"Mu Zhian is truly lucky to have a Taoist companion like you." She sighed sincerely.

Then she paused and said with a smile: "Although the Black Flame True Leaf is rare in the Southern Wilderness, you can still find it if you want to find it, but the Yunyan Willow in Yunzhou may not be that easy."

"I heard that your relationship with Yunzhou was not that good in the past, right? If you come forward, not to mention the princess, Emperor Dapeng will probably doubt your purpose of wanting Yunyanliu."

After all, the existence of Yunyan Liu can only be used to refine Jiuding Xudan, because other elixirs cannot use Yunyan Liu... Suddenly wanting Yunyan Liu for no reason will naturally make people suspicious.

What's more, the Yunyan Willow grows in a place with no sky and no land in Yunzhou, which is the territory of the Dao Princess.

She had heard in the past that the relationship between the Qing Emperor and the princess was extremely bad, and it might not be that simple to obtain Yunyanliu.

"Do you need me to help you?" Xue Yi asked.

"It would be best if you can, but even if you come forward, you may not be able to get the Yunyanliu."

Yao Mengliu frowned lightly. Although Nanhuang and Yunzhou seemed to be cooperating secretly, Yunyanliu, a natural and earthly treasure, was too special. Even if Xue Yi spoke, Yunzhou would probably be wary.

After all, who would want a new enlightenment to be born from other forces for no reason?

"I will try my best to get Yunyanliu for him." Xue Yi smiled.

Yao Meng smiled lightly and said, "I hope so."

But I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. It was not easy to get the princess to let go.

And even in Yunzhou, Yunyan Willow is an extremely rare natural treasure. It only takes just seven days from picking the Yunyan Willow to withering due to the loss of spiritual energy. Because of these harsh conditions, it is impossible to preserve it even on the princess. Clouds and willows.

The only way to find Yunyanliu is to ask the princess to search for it herself, or to send someone to search... After all, this cannot be avoided by the princess.

Thinking of this, Yao Meng's thoughts quickly returned to reality and said quietly: "Take it one step at a time. In short, if I have to, I will go to Yunzhou myself."

…

"Luo Tan asked me to go to the dormitory to find her at night...does this mean she wants to have sex with me?"

Back in the guest room, Mu Zhian dismissed the maid in the guest room, and then began to think about everything that happened today.

In Mu Zhian's view, although Luo Tan seemed to have a desire to attack and wanted the natural furnace cauldron to complement the natural furnace cauldron... But in fact, she was still a little shy in her heart, or she could not overcome the hurdle in her heart. .

So if he goes to the dormitory to look for her tonight, he might have to take the initiative...

And the fiancée of Emperor Dapeng is also interesting.

Not only is she like Ling'er, she is also involved in the Great Dao. Her furnace is even inherently connected to the Great Dao.

If the spirit dragon is Dao's beloved creation, then this princess must be the "Chosen Daughter".

Then again, if Ling'er wants to ascend, he first needs to get the resonance of Dao... But in the past, he never knew how to influence Dao.

This princess...maybe there is something she can do?

After all, her cauldron itself is connected to the avenue.

When Mu Zhian thought of this, the figure of the princess appeared in his mind for no reason.

Then, he quickly shook his head and sighed secretly.

When it comes to the secret of the avenue, even Emperor Dapeng has probably never told the secret about the avenue from the princess, let alone an outsider like him?

Unless... we can establish a good relationship with that princess first.

Moreover, the Yunyan Willow needed for Jiuding to refine Xudan will also be obtained from Yunzhou...

"It seems that I shouldn't have teased her before, but should have licked her..." Mu Zhian suddenly realized this.

If she were a normal beauty, Mu Zhian would naturally not like to offend her.

But the princess had previously admitted that she did not want him to get close to Luo Tan... and even offered to give him an imperial medicine to keep him away from Luo Tan.

Although he knew that the princess was thinking about Luo Tan, it still made people dissatisfied.

I just didn't expect that now I have to find a way to make friends with her...

"That's all, let's not think about these things first."

Mu Zhian shook his head to disperse the thoughts in his mind, then walked out of the guest room and took out an ink-colored cauldron in front of the courtyard.

The Xuan-grade cauldron is not particularly expensive, but it is enough to refine those fourth- and fifth-grade pills.

Rather, with Mu Zhian's current level of not even a second-grade alchemist, it would be too extravagant to use a cauldron above the Xuan-grade.

Mu Zhian recalled the teachings of the empress when he talked with Luo Tan today, while taking out the medicinal materials needed for the third-grade pill.

According to Luo Tan, the higher the grade of the pill, the greater the spiritual energy of the heaven that can be contained. He wanted to verify whether what Luo Tan said was true.

"You all retreat first. No one is allowed to approach this place without my order." Mu Zhian turned his head and ordered the two maids in the courtyard.

After the maids retreated, Mu Zhian urged the spiritual energy and put the medicinal materials of the third-grade Ningxin Pill into the cauldron one by one.

"Senluo Liu, Dianxing Shen, and then put in the ancient Ganoderma..."

Mu Zhian looked at the alchemy book in his hand and took out the medicinal materials in the ring and put them into the cauldron.

These herbs are part of the monthly "salary" issued by Liangyi Sect. The herbs themselves are not rare, but they can be sold at a high price on the market.

Now, they are all used by Mu Zhian to try to make pills.

The flame of the cauldron began to burn, and Mu Zhian's mental power was completely focused in front of the cauldron.

In the distance, two maids looked over here with some curiosity, wondering why someone is still making such low-level pills.

At this time, a maid seemed to have noticed something and subconsciously turned her head to look at the gate of the yard. When she saw a woman with a pink veil, a slim figure, and gentle eyes, she almost blurted out: "Princess——"

Before she finished speaking, the princess had already extended an index finger to her lips and made a "hush" sound.

When she approached, two maids came up and asked in a low voice: "Why did the princess come here...? This is where Master Mu rests, did you come to the wrong place?"

The gentle and mature princess looked sideways slightly, blinking a pair of gentle and lovely eyes, and whispered: "I came to find him."

"You can leave first, I will protect him here, nothing will happen." She ordered again.

The two maids looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slightly: "Yes."

...

"It still failed... The third-grade elixir is indeed a bit difficult for me."

Mu Zhian looked at the medicinal materials in the cauldron that had long been turned into powder, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, feeling a little distressed about his own medicinal materials.

If the first and second-grade elixirs are still the level that outsiders can refine, then from the third grade onwards, it is a field that only alchemists can step into.

Although Mu Zhian has the qualifications of an alchemist, he was basically obsessed with beauty in the past, and his cultivation was abandoned for a long time, not to mention alchemy.

"Fortunately, I am in Yuzhou now. If there is any question about the elixir that I don't understand, I can ask Luo Tan directly, so I can avoid a lot of detours."

Mu Zhian comforted himself in his heart, and then he planned to put away the cauldron.

At this moment, a clear, pleasant and gentle voice suddenly came from behind him: "Looking at the spiritual energy you just condensed, it seems that you have good alchemy qualifications, but now you are not even a second-grade alchemist. It's really a waste of such good qualifications."

Mu Zhian turned his head and saw the princess who was standing behind him at some point.

She changed into a dress embroidered with crabapple flowers, matched with a plain long skirt, her hair was carefully combed, and embellished with a valuable jade hairpin. She was dignified and beautiful, with a sense of homeliness of a wife.

Of course, if you know her, you will know that this princess looks gentle, but in fact she is not as simple as she shows.

"Princess, you came to my residence for no reason, but what's the important matter?"

Mu Zhian was suspicious, with a somewhat teasing tone: "Are you here to persuade me to leave Luotan again? If you can give me five imperial medicines, I can consider it."

The princess glanced at Mu Zhian with her beautiful eyes and gave him a charming roll of the eyes.

Five imperial medicines? Why didn't he go and rob?

Even if you look at the entire Yunzhou, it may not be possible to take out more than three imperial medicines. Among the nine states, only Dongzhou is known to have more than five imperial medicines. The imperial medicines cultivated by other forces in the past for several generations are now very few.

"I'm not here to persuade you to leave Luotan, but I smelled an unpleasant smell when I came out to relax, so I came in to take a look. I didn't expect that Master Mu was refining pills here." The princess said lightly.

"If you don't usually make pills, and suddenly want to make a pill of a higher grade than your own, it's just a waste of medicinal materials."

"Are you mocking me for overestimating my own abilities, trying to make a third-grade pill when I'm not even a second-grade alchemist?"

Mu Zhian smiled: "Although your highness is a great master of the Dao, you are surprisingly a bit vindictive."

The princess pursed her rosy lips under her veil and said calmly: "I'm not vindictive, I'm just telling the truth."

Mu Zhian sighed lightly: "In fact, if I have to say it, it's Mu who should be vindictive."

"This time I was simply hit by an unprovoked disaster... I was inexplicably remembered by the Great Peng Emperor, and I'm afraid I won't even dare to go to Yunzhou in the future."

"That was the Great Peng Emperor's initiative, and I have nothing to do with him." The princess frowned slightly, and although her tone was gentle, she was cold to the Great Peng Emperor.

"Of course I know this, but..." Mu Zhian hesitated slightly.

"Just what? Master Mu, why don't you just say it directly." The princess said.

"Just... Looking at the attitude of the Great Peng Emperor today, it seems that he cares a lot about your Highness. I'm afraid he doesn't think that you have nothing to do with him."

Hearing this, the princess couldn't help but frown.

Mu Zhian looked at the beautiful woman calmly and continued: "Your Highness, are you here to make fun of me today?"

The princess returned to reality from her previous thoughts and said: "I know why the Green Emperor went to the Southern Wilderness. Luo Tan has told me before."

"Therefore, I also know what you want."

Mu Zhian's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything, wanting to hear the princess's next words.

The princess smiled: "As long as you agree to one condition of mine, I can give you everything you want."

Is there such a good thing? Does that mean I can ask you too... Mu Zhian was talking nonsense in his heart, but he didn't agree immediately: "What do you want me to do? Why not tell me first?"

"With your current strength, there is nothing you can do to help me."

The princess's beautiful eyes were as soft as water, and she opened her red lips slightly: "It's just that I want to make sure that her vision of people is correct."

"So... I want you to refine a pill."

Mu Zhian raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What pill?"

The princess took out a pill that she had just received from Luo Tan not long ago from her ring, and stared at Mu Zhian:

"Second-grade pill, Xiao Huan Dan."
