Cultivation of immortality in the family

Chapter 242 Foreign Visitors

Since the matter had come to an end for the time being, and Su Mu was not a relevant person, Mu Yan told the truth about the whole matter without reservation.

It turns out that it really involves some conflicts of interest for the Lord of Cang Qing Palace.

Speaking of which, Cang Qing is already a perfect monk in the late stage of Jindan. There is nothing important before him except the birth of a baby.

However, even among the higher-ups of Lingqiao Palace, there are still many people who are qualified to compete with him.

Lingqiao Palace can only harvest about three fourth-level Yingying Pills every hundred years.

Although it is said that if you want to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, you need to overcome several difficulties, but if you can't conceive the pill to become a baby, then everything is empty talk, let alone the last stage of overcoming the tribulation.

In the past few years, the three infant-forming pills obtained by Lingqiao Palace were of fairly good quality, with a success rate of 25%, which can be regarded as the highest among all infant-forming spiritual objects.

However, of two of them, one was taken away by a highly respected late Yuanying monk in the palace and was said to be given to one of his disciples; the other was given priority to an opponent according to the sect rules. Lingqiao Palace has made great contributions to the foreign ministers, so there is only the last one left.

It was this last one that Cang Qing wanted to win. Although his chances of winning were not particularly small, there were three other disciples who were equally matched with him.

If you fail this time, unless you find additional infant-forming spiritual objects from other channels, you will have to wait another hundred years.

Even if we wait for the next time, no one knows which second-generation ancestor will jump in the queue.

Therefore, Cang Qing must firmly seize this opportunity.

The head of Lingqiao Palace knew that this was a dispute between monks, and he did not dare to be biased in the slightest, so he had to follow the usual practice and set up three links to select the owner of the last Yingying Dan.

It can be seen that Cang Qing attaches great importance to this competition.

As a golden elixir cultivator of his lineage, Mu Yan naturally needs to contribute.

Fortunately, the first link has been completed, Cang Qing made pretty good progress and successfully advanced to the next round.

According to the requirements of the sect, the next round of competition will have to wait for another three months, so Mu Yan took the time to come back to deal with urgent matters in Beppu.

"Thank you for your hard work, junior sister." Su Mu said with emotion after listening to Mu Yan's story.

From the other party's words, Su Mu understood that this time the competition for the elixir was fairly fair, and everything depended on strength.

In order to show fairness, the possibility of Nascent Soul stage monks to intervene was prohibited, and people outside the sect were not allowed to participate.

It has to be said that the levels set up by the head of Lingqiao Palace are very sophisticated and cannot be completed by relying on a large number of people.

In addition to Cang Qing and Mu Yan, they also invited another fellow disciple of the late Jin Dan.

The strength of this fellow disciple is no less powerful than Cang Qing himself, especially since he borrowed a fourth-level spiritual treasure from a supreme elder.

This time, Cang Qing faced a huge dilemma at the beginning, but they were still able to advance to the next round, thanks to this spiritual treasure, but this matter was exposed in advance.

"As long as I can help Master get the Infant-Jiying Dan, it doesn't matter no matter how hard it is." Mu Yan smiled, but there seemed to be a trace of lingering melancholy in her eyes.

According to some inside information they obtained, the five candidates who advanced to the second round were not far apart from each other.

When it comes to their own path, these five candidates can be said to have used all their means and laid out all their available backup options.

Cang Qing was able to find a helping hand with a fourth-level spiritual treasure, and others would inevitably follow suit. Perhaps they were always prepared, but they just hadn't been exposed yet.

As others' strength increases, Cang Qing will fall to the weak side, just like sailing against the current. If he doesn't advance, he will retreat.

To be honest, even in the hands of such a huge force as Lingqiao Palace, the number of spiritual treasures is still very limited, except for those whose violent Yuan consciousness is not easily controlled by Jindan monks, and those held by several late Nascent Soul monks. Of that part, only three or four items can be loaned out.

Cang Qing was able to borrow one, which was actually a big step ahead of others.

"By the way, people from Baimeng came to visit during this period. I wonder what your thoughts are?"

Inviting Su Mu to Lingqiao Palace was the initiative of master and apprentice Cang Qing, so Mu Yan was naturally very concerned about this matter.

If she hadn't been temporarily transferred away by her master some time ago, why would she have come to ask about the situation after so long.

Now, the first session has come to an end for the time being, and there is still quite some time before the second session. Muyan happened to need to host some things in Kunlu Beppu, so she came in person again.

"Some time ago, a fellow Taoist who claimed to be a walking Taoist of the Hundred Alliances did come to visit. But I am still in a state of ambiguity about what he means. In this case, I am naturally more inclined to Lingqiao Palace."

No matter what, it is still a prestigious alliance. Even if it does not belong to an independent force like Sannomiya Goto, its prestige is not small.

Especially in the eyes of casual cultivators, the status of the Hundred Alliance is unshakable, and everyone is proud to be a member of the Hundred Alliance.

Su Mu is just a small Golden Core cultivator, and the Huoxi Island where he is located is just a little-known small force, which cannot be compared with the huge group of casual cultivators of the Hundred Alliances.

Even if Su Mu was a little dissatisfied with Dai Mutu's character and disliked the atmosphere in the alliance, he couldn't say it outright.

It should be noted that misfortune comes from the mouth. If his random words were spread, he would probably be dissatisfied by Baimeng and his supporters, and it might cause some trouble.

Mu Yan is also an ice-smart female cultivator, otherwise how could she be chosen as successor by Cang Qing.

She just saw Su Mu's slightly embarrassed expression and roughly guessed that there might be some filth in it, but she just couldn't express it openly.

However, she was still excited when she heard Su Mu's decision.

Generally speaking, Su Mu joined Lingqiao Palace under Cang Qing's strong recommendation. Then, the other party is naturally from his lineage, and the interest relationship is bound together.

Of course, only someone like Su Mu, who was urgently needed by Lingqiao Palace, could be promoted to a guest minister.

Lingqiao Palace ranks first among the Three Palaces and Five Islands. The threshold for guest service is naturally extremely high. Not just cats and dogs can join.

With Su Mu, a third-level alchemist, as long as the other party's alchemy skills continue to improve, Cang Qing and his disciples will be able to gain continuous benefits.

"Brother Dao, Master and I have been waiting for this sentence from you. It's just that we have a close relationship. It's hard to say something too straightforward, and you have to make your own decision. But don't worry, you will make your choice this time. It must be the most correct."

Mu Yan originally looked a little tired, but at this moment, her whole face was radiant.

After this period of experience, especially when I saw that the master was really working hard for a Yingying Dan, he almost didn't think about it.

Mu Yan is also a female cultivator with lofty ambitions, but she thinks that her spiritual root qualifications are not outstanding. Even if Cang Qing can overcome many difficulties this time, finally obtains the Ying Ying Dan, and is promoted to the Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop, However, this matter did little to help her conceive a baby. If she wants to conceive a baby, she has to do everything on her own.

With her master's strength and illustrious achievements, she couldn't help him conceive a baby, let alone a female cultivator.

Compared with male cultivators, there are even fewer golden elixir female cultivators who can advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

It can be said that the golden elixir stage is almost the end point for most female cultivators.

Mu Yan was definitely not satisfied with this result. She also wanted to climb to the top of the Nascent Soul Stage to have a look.

Therefore, she had to find another way.

At this critical moment, she happened to meet Su Mu and was impressed by his miraculous alchemy skills.

Through that close observation, there was a lingering thought in her mind.

Perhaps this person has the opportunity to improve his alchemy skills to the fourth level.

A fourth-level alchemist!

Even in the talented Lingqiao Palace, where there were even several great monks in the late Nascent Soul stage, no one could reach this level.

But for some reason, she had such strong confidence in Su Mu.

According to her deduction, as long as Su Mu can advance to the fourth level of alchemy master and become the chief alchemist of Lingqiao Palace, then with the sect's heritage of thousands of years in Lingqiao Palace, he will definitely be able to change the situation where there are only three Yingying Pills in a hundred years. dilemma.

As a result, Mu Yan's chances of getting the Yingying Dan suddenly increased a lot.

Even though Mu Yan couldn't compete with others, she could still ask for help because of her relationship with Su Mu.

It can be said that betting on Su Mu actually helps himself in disguise.

This is the main reason why Mu Yan is so concerned about this matter.

"Brother Dao, please wait for me here for a few days until I inform Master of your decision. It only takes a few days for the House of Internal Affairs to enter your name into the roster, and then I can take you back to the mountain gate to handle the matter. The formalities are over.

Don't worry, with Master's recommendation, this matter will be just a formality. "

After saying that, Mu Yan couldn't wait to say goodbye and leave, wanting to quickly convey the good news back to Cang Qing and make her master happy.

Su Mu looked at the other party's leaving figure, and felt a different emotion in his heart.

However, he quickly regrouped and put the matter behind him, instead focusing more on his alchemy.

He knew that his current advantage was actually the level of third-level alchemy.

As long as he can continue to improve his alchemy skills, his position will become more stable, especially in a top power like Lingqiao Palace that has no shortage of geniuses. Alchemy skills are his biggest passport.

Only two days later, Mu Yan had prepared some preliminary matters and promptly negotiated the time to go to Lingqiao Palace with Su Mu.

At the same time, at Juxian Mountain in the Baimeng branch, Dai Mutu was reporting something to an elder from the league.

As a leader of the Hundred Alliance, Dai Mutu actually had to take responsibility for many things, not just the identification and preliminary assessment of various technical talents.

Baimeng can have such a huge talent pool because it actually has an effective selection mechanism.

It was based on this mechanism that Su Mu was eventually found.

The elder of the alliance who Dai Mutu was serving was the immediate superior responsible for this matter, and was generally known as the old owner of Juxian Villa.

"Master of the village, Mu Tu visited thirteen skilled talents at your request. They included four fellow Jindan practitioners and nine foundation-building monks. However, six of these people are famous people. The technical talent is only average, and one of them is approaching the end of his life, with less than a few years left.

Of course, apart from these six, among the remaining seven, there are three others who are avoiding the meeting and have no intention of joining the Hundred Alliance. Even though I followed the usual practice and went to the door in person to submit the greeting card, there was still no news.

Of the last four, three of them made it clear that they wanted to become a member of the Hundred Alliance. "

It has to be said that the name of Baimeng is very popular among casual cultivators.

In the entire East China Sea cultivation world, only one ten thousandth of those who are lucky enough to become disciples of San Gong and Five Islands are less than one in ten thousand.

Therefore, as long as Baimeng can offer an olive branch, monks with a casual cultivating background will basically not reject it, and will even be proud of it.

However, Baimeng does not accept everyone.

Due to the large number of casual cultivators, there are many special spirits who were not discovered in time, or people who suddenly became enlightened. Because the requirements for being absorbed into Lingqiao Palace are quite high, Baimeng can always receive good talents. .

Hearing this, Chong Hezi, the old owner of Juxian Village, did not open his eyes, but raised his brows and said casually:

"Those three monks came here the day before yesterday. I have sent people to distribute their identity tokens to the hands of the parties involved. You did a good job this time."

Hearing the praise from the old village owner, Dai Mutu smiled brightly and said:

"This is all due to the master's teachings. I have worked under you for many years, and I have only learned a little bit. If the master can give me another half-move, it will be like smoke rising from the grave of my ancestor. It can be a shame for Baimeng."

Wear it a thousand times, but never wear it!

Dai Mutu's ability to secure this position is closely related to this matter.

"You kid, you don't have a word of truth in your mouth." Chong Hezi laughed and cursed.

However, under the smile, his originally expressionless demeanor seemed to loosen a lot.

At this time, he suddenly thought of a commission from an old friend and said:

"By the way, what happened to the third-level alchemist who told you to wait and see before?"

Dai Mutu was in a good mood. When he heard this, he immediately replied and said with a little guilt:

"The boy went there in person not long ago, but he directly accepted our invitation. Before leaving, I asked him to go to Juxian Mountain if he changes his mind. We are always waiting for him here.

However, after I asked several times, it seemed that the other person had never set foot here before. He must have preferred to be a casual cultivator, so he declined our invitation. "

Although Dai Mutu likes to take advantage of petty gains, he is not a confused monk, at least he has done a remarkable job in some details.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to walk as a member of the Hundred Alliance for so many years.
