Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 727 The Current Situation of the Three Kingdoms
Madam Li thought to herself that in the past, when people heard the three words "Mu Yuanzong", they all showed envy and awe on their faces, and they heard endless flattery.

However, when he glanced at this moment, he saw that Xiao Qi had no reaction, and his eyes did not even waver at all.

Seeing this, she felt like she had punched nothing. Her expression suddenly became unnatural, and she felt even more unhappy. She changed her tone and said:

"Fellow Daoist, you know that this time, my Muyuan Sect has sent three Immortals. Among them, Uncle Heihua has a very good relationship with my Lingshan Sect and also has a private friendship with my husband and me."

At this time, Li Cheng pulled his wife's sleeve and winked at her several times, signaling her not to say any more.

He also understood his wife's tendency to show off, but he really shouldn't say so much in front of outsiders.

Especially when countries are competing for opportunities, if they simply reveal their true strengths and weaknesses to others, if the elders of the Mu Yuan Sect hear it, they will inevitably be punished.

Mrs. Li disagreed.

She now believed that Xiao Qi was an ascetic who did not understand the current situation, otherwise why would he not even react to the name of Mu Yuan Sect?
Even if he was told which real person was sent here by Mu Country, he would probably not take any action.

Little Qi, though expressionless, was secretly thinking, "Three True Immortals? It seems the Nascent Soul Qi mentioned by the Master is most likely related to Mu Yuanzong..."

However, Chen Mu was able to detect that there were three other Golden Core auras beside that Nascent Soul Qi, and when compared with them, they matched exactly.

Thinking of this, his demon soul trembled, and passed this discovery to Chen Mu through the soul imprint.

Chen Mu was in the sky at this time. Because he didn't want to alarm his "comrade", he deliberately kept his distance.

"Mu Nation... Which sect has the leisure to support Mu Nation? Or is it that a wandering cultivator with a short lifespan wants to leave behind a legacy?"

If it was the latter, it would be easy to deal with and he would not stop it, but if it was the former, that would require some explanation.

The surrounding countries have enjoyed decades of peace. He doesn't want the sudden rise of Mu Country to cause unrest in other countries...

On the lake, although Madam Li liked to show off, she did not do anything too outrageous, so Xiao Qi did not drive them away. The three of them stayed together, chatting and laughing as they gradually approached the water palace.

At this time, more and more monks came and went. From time to time, flying boats flew by, and familiar people came down to say hello.

Of course, the real owners were the Li couple. Xiao Qi didn't recognize anyone of them. Even the disciples of Shuiyunjian who passed by him were not known by their names.

It was fine at first, but as time went on, Mr. and Mrs. Li couldn't help but wonder, how could they not recognize their own disciples and followers?

Even if they practice hard in seclusion and reach their level of cultivation, there will definitely be one or two disciples in the sect who will recognize them.

But along the way, regardless of whether Xiao Qi knew the disciples of Shuiyunjian, the key point was that the disciples of Shuiyunjian did not know Xiao Qi either, which was a bit intriguing.

Madam Li's eyes flickered, and she whispered, "Husband, is this man a liar?"

Li Cheng was also puzzled, but identity can be deceiving, but realm cannot be faked.

He could see that Xiao Qi's cultivation level was definitely not lower than theirs.

He paused, then asked tentatively, "May I ask what position Fellow Daoist Han Yang holds in the sect?"

Xiao Qi shook his head and said, "I don't have any position."

"No job?"

Li Cheng frowned and repeated, thinking to himself, "For a sect like Shuiyunjian, isn't it true that those who reach the Foundation Establishment stage can enter the Elder Hall? How can there be no positions?"

Madam Li transmitted the message: "It seems that this person is indeed impersonating someone from another sect. My husband, this is a taboo. To avoid Shui Yunjian misunderstanding, you and I should quickly separate from him."

Li Cheng nodded calmly. Seeing the boat passing through a narrow waterway, the view suddenly opened up. He suddenly stood up and said:
"We are not far from the Water Palace. My husband and I would like to thank you for the ride, but now we need to return to our sect. We will take our leave."

Xiao Qi bowed and said, "Please do as you please." He didn't care what others thought, and he would not explain because of outsiders' speculation.

After they parted ways, they had not traveled far when the boat arrived at the Xianhua Water Palace.

The vast lake stretches over hundreds of miles, with many large boats lined up on the water. At a glance, there is no end in sight.

What is particularly eye-catching is the colorful flags of each sect flying in the wind.

For a moment, it was quite spectacular.

Xiao Qi looked around and saw that the six sects of Zhao State, including Wenjian Pavilion, Yushou Sect, Shuiyunjian, etc., were all there.

Next to the State of Zhao, there was a large ship with a clear Qingyuan flag, leading the nearly 100-mile water area. It was none other than the Mu Yuan Sect of the Mu State.

In addition to the Zhao and Mu countries, there was also a flag with blood flowers on a black background flying on the opposite side.

Xiao Qi's pupils shrank. He recognized this flag. It was clearly the symbol of the Eternal Life Palace of the Cholera Wood Kingdom!
And the blood flower on the flag is the holy medicine mentioned by the Palace of Eternal Life, the Lycoris radiata...

"The Hall of Eternal Life...hasn't it been expelled? Why is it still..."

His realm was still low at that time, and he was unable to help Chen Mu, but he knew all the details clearly, so he knew that after Fushan Changhe and Feixing Taoist Palace withdrew, the Palace of Eternal Life was expelled by the two countries of Zhao and Mu.

But what we see now shows that the Palace of Eternal Life is not that simple...

His eyes shifted, and he reached out to stop a passing Qi Condensation cultivator and asked directly, "Whose sect is that? How can the boats under their command rival those of the Zhao and Mu countries?"

Xiao Xiu frowned upon hearing this, ready to explode. However, upon seeing Xiao Qi, he realized he had met a Foundation Establishment expert, so he quickly bowed and replied, "Senior, are you traveling here? That's the Nangu Kingdom's Palace of Eternal Life. Their power is immense, naturally on par with the Zhao and Mu Kingdoms."

"Nangu Country?"

Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment before continuing, "Nangu Country is a nation of independent cultivators, without any outstanding sects. How could it be taken over by the Palace of Eternal Life?"

Xiao Xiu uttered a soft "Huh?" and said with a flattering smile, "Senior, you actually know what the ancient Southern Kingdom was like? It seems you may have been there in the past."

Xiao Qi's face turned cold and he said in a deep voice, "Just answer whatever I ask you. Don't try to guess!"

Xiao Xiu's expression changed slightly, and he nodded in agreement, cupping his hands and saying, "What I know is what I heard from my teachers. They said that the Palace of Eternal Life was expelled from the Zhao and Mu countries in the early years and disappeared for ten years before it showed its strength in the Southern Ancient Country.

At first, it was not conspicuous and no one was controlling it. People thought it was just a newly emerged independent cultivator force in the ancient Nan Kingdom. But not long after, it had occupied a small half of the ancient Nan Kingdom. This was an unprecedented feat, so it alarmed the Zhao and Mu countries.

After several investigations, the immortal sects of the two countries determined that there were traces of the Palace of Eternal Life behind the emerging forces.

Anyone who practices evil and heretical practices must be punished. The immortal sects of the two countries did not hesitate and sent people to suppress them.

However, after several battles, the Palace of Eternal Life showed no signs of disappearing. Instead, it grew larger and larger, almost sweeping across the entire territory of the Southern Ancient Kingdom.

It was not until then that the true people of the two countries discovered that the master of the Palace of Eternal Life had cultivated to the state of perfect golden elixir and could use flower seeds to parasitize monks. This was also the key reason why the disciples of the Palace of Eternal Life were so hard to kill.

However, the two countries woke up too late, and the Palace of Eternal Life was already too powerful to be controlled. Its master was no longer a Jindan Zhenren who could contend with him..."

After saying this, the young cultivator paused and said uncertainly, "Actually, there's a rumor that the Immortals of the two countries once asked the Nascent Soul Patriarch to help them kill the Lord of the Eternal Life Hall...

But we don’t know what the outcome will be, and the Temple of Eternal Life still shows signs of prosperity.

In the end, the matter came to nothing, and the two countries' immortals tacitly acknowledged the existence of the Palace of Eternal Life..."
