A four-year-old medical prodigy descended to the mortal realm, and the entire capital sought her tre

"Yes, brother. They were all used as medicinal ingredients and then discarded."

Zhou Ruo squinted at the gloomy room and said.

Hearing what Zhou Ruo said, Jiang Zhou turned and walked in, asking her in surprise,

"Your Highness, aren't these children like me before, with fleshy lumps growing in their brains?"

Zhou Ruo waved her hand and said, "No, their yang energy was drained, their heart meridians are damaged, and their brains are damaged too!"

"What?!" Zhao Jinzhong and Jiang Zhou were both shocked at the same time, and they both looked at Daoist Yunxu at the same time.

The Taoist priest sighed almost inaudibly, then said to Zhao Jinzhong and the other two, "Young masters, please come this way."

Zhao Jinzhong and the other two followed Daoist Yunxu to the guest hall. The Daoist calmly poured them a cup of water before beginning to speak.

"Your Highness is no ordinary person; you were able to see at a glance that those children were being used as a medicinal ingredient!"

The Taoist priest's words startled Zhou Ruo. "Ah? Grandpa Taoist priest, I'm just a mortal!"

Zhou Ruo secretly wondered if the Taoist priest knew that she came from the world of cultivation.

Could this Taoist priest also come from the world of immortal cultivation?

Could he be in cahoots with the people who killed me, and have come here to hunt me down?

Zhou Ruoyue thought about it and it became more and more outrageous.

The Taoist priest didn't seem to care about Zhou Ruo's reaction, and said, "If this old Taoist didn't know the intricacies behind this,

Those children didn't survive either. Your Highness, being able to see that, you are no ordinary person!

"Phew...you scared me..." It turned out that the Taoist priest was praising her for being no ordinary person.

Zhao Jinzhong and Jiang Zhou were both puzzled by Zhou Ruo's reaction, wondering why she was so startled.

Zhao Jinzhong was very curious about the Taoist priest's explanation. "Taoist priest, what kind of explanation are you referring to?"

"There is an evil art in this world that uses the pure yang energy of children to create a way to achieve immortality."

The children in the dormitories, just as Her Highness the princess said, were abandoned after their life force was drained.

Jiang Zhou slammed his fist on the table in anger. "Who on earth would do something so cruel?"

Zhao Jinzhong was also unable to calm down. He asked the elder, "What is the art of immortality? The art of living forever?"

Master Yunxu nodded. "It is indeed the art of immortality. It was created by a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect in the Tianquan Mountains."

After he created this evil technique, he was expelled from his sect.

Unexpectedly, after leaving his master's tutelage, instead of repenting, he actually started harming children.

Master Yunxu spoke slowly and deliberately, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

"Why is it the Tianquan Mountains again? Is that place a breeding ground for people who harm the common people?"

Zhao Jinzhong was burning with rage.

Master Yunxu was puzzled. "What does the Junior Protector mean? Is there another disciple from the Tianquan Mountains harming the people?"

"Do you know Consort Yu and the Imperial Preceptor, who were executed not long ago?"

Yu...?

"Could it be Yu Wan, the number one expert in the Wuji Sect's profound array formations? Was she the one who caused such a stir in the succession struggle a while ago?"

Master Yunxu was shocked and had long lost the composure he had when they first met.

Zhao Jinzhong told the Taoist priest that Consort Yu was the number one expert in Xuanji Formation, and the Imperial Preceptor was Consort Yu's junior brother.

Both of them were members of the Wuji Sect of the Tianquan Mountains.

Master Yunxu did not care about court affairs. He had only heard about the concubines vying for the throne, but did not know who was responsible.

Jiang Zhou stood by, dumbfounded, watching the drama unfold. He was still suffering from illness when Consort Yu had her accident and was unaware of it.

He never imagined that the concubines in the imperial harem would have identities from martial arts sects.

Master Yunxu slowly stood up and put his hands behind his back.

After carefully examining Zhao Jinzhong and Zhou Ruo, he began to pace around the hall.

When Master Yunxu saw Zhao Jinzhong and Zhou Ruo in the main hall, he knew that the people he had been waiting for had finally arrived.

Zhao Jinzhong still has many questions.

What is the purpose of the person who cultivated the art of immortality mentioned by Daoist Yunxu, who used such insidious methods to achieve this?

Is it all just for his own immortality?

And why are these "medicinal catalyst" children in Yunxu Temple, and still alive?

What is the relationship between Master Yunxu and the person who has mastered the art of immortality?

After some thought, Zhao Jinzhong deduced that Daoist Yunxu should be related to the Tianquan Mountains.

"Master Daoist, are you also from the Tianquan Mountains?"

Master Yunxu suddenly stopped and looked at Zhao Jinzhong.

After hesitating for a moment, he returned to his seat and sat down before speaking: "I was originally a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect."

The one who practices the art of immortality is none other than the old Taoist's senior brother.

Master Yunxu's words shocked Zhao Jinzhong and Jiang Zhou unexpectedly.

The Taoist priest said that his senior brother, Lü Qingchen, had saved his life years ago.

When Lü Qingchen was practicing the art of immortality, Daoist Yunxu was the first to discover it.

He tried his best to stop Lü Qingchen from falling into the demonic path, but to no avail.

After being expelled from his sect, Lü Qingchen told Daoist Yunxu that he would go to the vicinity of the capital to continue refining his longevity technique.

He also vowed that after mastering the technique, he would use it to serve the court officials and be loyal to the current emperor.

To make his secret to longevity famous throughout the world.

Master Yunxu felt that Lü Qingchen had fallen into demonic possession.

However, remembering his life-saving grace, Master Yunxu bid farewell to his master and followed Lü Qingchen all the way to the outskirts of the capital.

I stumbled upon this Yunxu Temple by chance.

When I first encountered Yunxu Temple, the temple was in a state of disrepair.

Master Yunxu built the Taoist temple and established his own sect, taking the name of the temple and calling himself Yunxu.

After learning that Daoist Yunxu had settled here, Lü Qingchen would throw each child he ruined in front of Yunxu Temple.

Because he knew that Master Yunxu had a way to keep these children alive.

If he kills all these children, it will likely cause trouble.

At that point, he will find it difficult to continue his path to fame through his immortality techniques.

Master Yunxu was always grateful for Lü Qingchen's life-saving grace and was also compassionate.

Since a child was brought to the Taoist temple, he would certainly not stand by and watch him die.

In this way, over the past six months, Master Yunxu has rescued a total of fourteen children who had been crippled by Lü Qingchen.

At first, it was about one child per month.

Until recently, the number of children being sent here suddenly increased.

Until recently, it was almost one a day.

Master Yunxu knew that this matter was of great importance, and he had tried to stop Lü Qingchen for many years without success.

Now that the person he has been waiting for has finally appeared, it is time to expose Lü Qingchen's evil deeds.

On his way here, Zhao Jinzhong had heard Jiang Zhou tell him that he and his mother, Zhao Jing, had previously visited Yunxu Temple.

He originally wanted to ask the Taoist priest to cure his illness.

Unfortunately, even after arriving there, Master Yunxu was unable to cure Jiang Zhou, but he could control Jiang Zhou's condition from worsening.

Therefore, when Jiang Zhou first appeared in front of Zhou Ruo, Zhou Ruo said that he should be paralyzed.

Jiang Zhou was able to move and walk like a normal person because he received help from Daoist Yunxu.

Just then, a burst of urgent barking came from outside the Taoist temple.

"It's a misunderstanding!" Zhou Ruo, who had been engrossed in eating the snacks on Master Yunxu's table, suddenly looked up.
