In the quiet courtyard.
In the study, Qin Muling drank all the spiritual wine in the jade cup, lowered her head and continued to look through the books in her hands. There were still a lot of them on the table.
What is recorded in these tablets is all information about various monsters and aliens outside the city, as well as many special products and resources in Linzhou. They have always been stored in the warehouse of the city lord's palace. Some of the more important contents are still confidential. If ordinary disciples want to see it,
, you have to exchange for meritorious service.
Of course, the senior sister spoke, and Qin Muling effortlessly got all the information she wanted to see. As for the required merit, it was naturally deducted from the merits accumulated by the two senior sisters in the past.
"Senior Brother Qin, the 'Blue Sea Tide' you requested is here."
Jinxia, a female disciple of the inner sect, stood at the door holding a tray inlaid with gold and jade, and reported softly.
"Well, bring it in."
Qin Muling looked up and found that the girl was the person next to the senior sister, so she nodded.
Jinxia walked in with a tray and placed it gently on the table in front of him. Inside the tray was an exquisite white jade wine flask. The volume was not large, about two or three liters at most.
Qin Muling poured a glass by himself. The light green wine exuded a mellow and fragrant smell. As he sipped slowly, the sound of the waves of the sea could be heard faintly in his ears, and the majestic spiritual energy poured into his meridians and organs like a rolling tide.
"It tastes good, but the quantity is a little small. Let's get two more pots and get some snacks to go with the wine. If it's too bad, there's no need to bring it over!" Qin Muling ordered calmly.
"Uh...Okay, okay!"
Jinxia nodded blankly, her heart aching a little. This kind of high-end spiritual wine is not cheap. If you put it in the market outside, a small cup is worth at least hundreds of middle-grade spiritual stones. Otherwise, it will cost a lot of money.
The sect's meritorious deeds were exchanged in the warehouse, and ordinary core disciples simply did not have the capital to drink openly.
Therefore, Qin Muling's current expenses are all calculated on the accounts of the two senior sisters.
They raised Qin Muling out of their own pockets and took care of all his food, clothing, housing, transportation, and various expenses. They didn't mind, and they didn't want their junior brother to mind.
Therefore, Qin Muling now enjoys the "support" of her senior sisters with peace of mind, eating soft food with great taste and feeling confident.
After a while, Jinxia left and returned, serving all the wine, food and snacks.
After she resigned and left, Qin Muling began to enjoy the wine and food, while thinking about going out of the city to practice. Of course, the third senior sister Qi Yalan was away at the moment, so he had to wait for her to come back and set off together.
Outside the courtyard gate.
Twelve stern-faced inner sect female disciples stood on the steps, the spiritual soldiers in their hands shone with a faint cold light. Behind them, there was a long row of Taoist puppets as tall as pine, with copper ribs and iron bones.
Heavily armored and as big as a bear, he blocked the main entrance tightly.
Three feet away from the steps, there was also a group of disciples from Yunmeng Tiangong standing, confronting them with unkind expressions.
"...Do you know who I am?"
"...How dare you stop me? Aren't you afraid of incurring the wrath of Elder Xingyun?"
"...I just want to see Junior Brother Qin for a chat. They are all core disciples in the sect. He shouldn't be so repulsive to others thousands of miles away, right?"
"...You are not core disciples now, are you? How dare you even stop me? Is it because there is a senior sister behind you? She is so arrogant and domineering, she really thinks of herself as a Taoist Priest?!"
All kinds of accusations, threats, and inducements came one after another. However, the female disciples guarding the door remained unmoved. They refused to let any salt or oil in, and the aura exuding from their bodies was solemn and solemn.
"Sisters and sisters, what do you want to do?"
Jinxia's voice came from the door: "This is Senior Sister's temporary dojo. You insist on breaking in without permission. Do you really think that the sect's laws are just for show?"
Seeing her appear, the few female disciples below immediately became excited and talked about her, obviously they knew her before.
Jinxia smiled half-heartedly: "I've never seen you care so much for senior sister before? It's better now. Everyone is rushing to come over to show their courtesy. Is it just because senior brother Qin is here?"
"Senior Sister has already told me that Senior Brother Qin is cultivating behind closed doors and no outsiders are allowed to disturb him. Sisters, you don't have to worry."
As soon as he said this, the disciples at the foot of the steps suddenly looked ugly.
A woman with a figure as beautiful as Xiaojiabiyu said coldly: "I am also a core disciple of the sect. In terms of status, I am equal to the senior sister. Why doesn't she let me see Qin Muling?"
Jinxia sneered: "Yes, we are all core disciples, but if you want to question Senior Sister's decision, wait until your cultivation surpasses Senior Sister before you say so!"
The core disciples are also divided into three, six or nine grades, and the standard for this classification is the level of cultivation. Although the disciples with high cultivation cannot do whatever they want to the disciples with low cultivation, their status in the eyes of the senior leaders of the sect and the degree of attention they receive
It's definitely different.
The woman's eyes became colder and colder, and she put her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist: "You are just an inner disciple, and you dare to speak rudely to me. Do you really think I won't take action?"
Jinxia's smile did not change: "Of course I don't dare to offend Senior Sister Longxin, but Senior Sister has said it before. Anyone who dares to break in will inevitably be severely punished regardless of their status, even core disciples are no exception!"
She took out a palm-sized purple jade talisman with green clouds and shook it, and her voice turned cold: "This is the token of the Supreme Headmaster. If you want to do something, senior sister, you'd better think twice!"
"you……"
The expressions of many disciples below suddenly changed, and their momentum weakened.
If we could rely on the strength of the crowd to cause trouble before, now it is impossible to continue to mess around. Offending the senior sister and offending the supreme leader are completely different in nature. Let alone them, even if they are the core of the high authority
Elders do not have the confidence to openly question the authority of the Supreme Leader.
In the end, the core disciple Long Xin flicked his sleeves and left bitterly, and the remaining disciples had no choice but to disperse in anger.
Less than half an hour later, the blazing sword energy, which was more than ten thousand feet long and looked like a white rainbow in the sky, dropped from the clouds, hovered slightly, and landed in the courtyard where Qin Muling was.
The sword energy dissipated, and Qi Yalan appeared with a cold and graceful appearance. Her round and slender jade legs were staggered, and she walked through the door swayingly.
When Qin Muling saw her coming in, he smiled and pointed to the pot of spiritual wine on the table: "Have all the matters taken care of? Let's go out later? This is reserved for you."
Qi Yalan nodded, picked up the wine bottle and poured herself a glass, and pushed the rest in front of Qin Muling: "This thing has little effect on me. You should drink more. It will be good for improving your cultivation."
Qin Muling did not refuse and put the spirit wine into the space to receive the bracelet.
After Qi Yalan drank the wine, she put her jade hands around his waist. With a slight thought, the dazzling sword rainbow wrapped around the two of them soared into the sky, broke through the light curtain of the city protection formation, and suddenly disappeared into the sky.
.
There was a sudden change of light and shadow in front of his eyes. When Qin Muling's vision returned to normal, he was already hundreds of miles away in mid-air, and the familiar city had turned into an inconspicuous dot at the end of his field of vision.
"how?"
Qi Yalan beside her asked with a smile. The two of them were standing on a flying sword. However, the area of the flying sword was a bit small, so Qin Muling had to be close to the plump and hot figure of the senior sister, and had to be hugged by her to stand firm.
.
Of course, the reason why Qi Yalan was willing to hug him was just to prevent her junior brother from accidentally falling, not because of any other thoughts. She told herself with certainty that she really didn't think much about it.
The familiar body fragrance comes faintly, and through the silky fabric, the amazing elasticity of the snow-skinned skin is truly felt. The wonderful feeling cannot be described in words.
The sky is gray, and below is the dark earth. The fields are empty and uninhabited, with an air of desolation and death, and a pungent fishy smell in the air.
The vast ground is not without life, there are countless strange and unknown weeds and trees growing there, and occasionally hoarse and low roars can be heard in the distance.
A mysterious black and red mist filled the surface of the earth, about thirty feet thick, shrouding the vegetation and creatures from the underground demonic realm. It had the effect of seriously distorting and interfering with the monks' spiritual thoughts. If the monks below the real level were not together,
Okay, in a place like this it's definitely a disaster.
Nourished by the day and night erosion of this mysterious mist, all creatures on the earth have become extremely vicious and bloodthirsty. Not only do they regard the intruding human monks as mortal enemies, they also fight against each other constantly, and the loser will be defeated by the victor.
The person unceremoniously regarded it as food to satisfy his hunger.
Dozens of miles away, a hideous and terrifying demon tree with a height of more than 200 feet was roaring and tightly entangled in a demon python as thick as a bucket. The branches covered with sucking tentacles were tearing apart the demon python's hard scales.
It sucked up the essence of its flesh and blood bit by bit and swallowed it all away. In the end, only an empty python skin was left hanging on the treetop.
Qin Muling made a quick judgment and realized that the environment here had been completely polluted by demonic energy and had become a paradise for monsters and alien creatures, no longer suitable for humans or other normal creatures to live in.
Being in the clouds, with Qin Muling's current cultivation level, he could occasionally see some remaining ruins in the wilderness and by the river. Some of the cities were extremely grand in scale. One can imagine how densely populated this void land was back then.
"Pity!"
Qin Muling sighed slightly: "Is there no chance for this place to return to its original state?"
Qi Yalan shook her head gently: "It's very difficult. Look at this vast surface, mountains, rivers, and deep mountains and swamps, all of which have been completely occupied by the alien creatures underground. It's not easy to kill them all, let alone after killing them all.
We also need to purify all the remaining demonic pollution, which is not something the sect is capable of."
Perhaps some super Taoist traditions have secret treasures that can change the world and turn things upside down. They have the ability to purify the evil energy of the entire continent and restore it to a fertile soil suitable for all living beings to live and thrive. But the current Yunmeng Tiangong
Definitely not.
"Let's go down and take a look." Qin Muling suggested.
"good."
Qi Yalan agreed, controlling the flying sword to lower its altitude and hovering in the air several feet high in the heavy fog above the ground.
As if sensing the breath of a stranger, the mist below suddenly boiled and boiled, and dozens of bright red lightning shot out, heading towards the two of them.
