Shennong Altar is not a closed building, but resembles a huge patio.
In the middle is a tall altar, enclosed on all sides.
The strong medicinal scent circulates densely, just like the secret realm of an immortal family.
On the shrine above the altar, there is a small stone cauldron enshrined. The long and ancient aura of medicine was born from this stone cauldron.
It is said that this extremely ancient stone tripod was used by Jiang Wei, the Shennong Emperor in ancient times, and contains a divine thought that can penetrate people's hearts.
This entire Shennong Altar is actually a special inspection formation, commonly known as the Heart-killing Formation.
The new inner disciples who join the Medicine Dao Shrine must come here for a visit, worship the Shennong Stone Cauldron, and accept the test of the inspection array.
Anyone who is hostile to the Yaodao Shrine and has ulterior motives will be kicked out.
Obviously, this is a formation arranged by the Yaodao Shrine using the divine insight left by Emperor Shennong. It was not the original intention of Emperor Shennong.
Fairy Luo came to the altar, knelt down slowly, and after three kowtows, she said sincerely: "The disciples of the younger generations would like to worship the emperor. I am willing to carry out the emperor's last wishes, hang the pot to help the world, benefit the common people, and bring glory to our Medicine Dao Shrine..."
Before he finished speaking, there was only a "buzz" sound, and a golden light rushed out from the stone tripod, and then mirror images appeared in all directions, and countless scenes flashed past in the mirror.
Under the bright mirror light, Fairy Luo looked like a golden figure.
Jiang Yao was not nervous at this time. Because he had already understood that this formation served the Medicine Dao Shrine and would not detect anything else. It would only detect whether it was hostile to the Medicine Dao Shrine and prevent enemies from joining the Shrine.
.
As for the character, background, etc. of the person being inspected, no questions will be asked.
As long as you are a medicine genius who is not hostile to Medicine Road Shrine, you can join Medicine Road Shrine. As for the other things, it doesn't matter. Even if you are a heinous bad guy, you can join Medicine Road Shrine if you meet these two points.
From this point of view, the Medicine Dao Shrine always cares about its own interests. Therefore, it does not care at all about the character of its disciples. It only cares about whether it is a genius in Medicine Dao and whether it can be used by the Shrine.
It can be seen that the Medicine Path Shrine has long deviated from its original purpose.
Fairy Luo is not an enemy of the Medicine Dao Shrine, and of course he will not harbor hostility towards the Medicine Dao Shrine. Even if he wants to be a Daoist, that is still a lofty ideal. Wanting to improve the Shrine is not hostility.
Therefore, the Heart-killing Formation did not make any further response.
Soon, all the floating mirror images on all sides disappeared, and the inspection passed.
But just when Fairy Luo breathed a sigh of relief, the whole stone cauldron suddenly began to shake. Not only did the golden light not shrink, but it became more and more dazzling.
At the same time, Jiang Yao noticed that the blood energy was surging, the Tao rhyme was tumbling, and an inexplicable throbbing that had never happened before suddenly appeared, seeming to be accompanied by the golden light that flickered endlessly.
With a "whoosh" sound, the golden light shot into Fairy Luo's eyebrows in vain. The speed was so fast that Fairy Luo had no ability to dodge at all.
Poor Fairy Luo's eyes suddenly became dull and her mind was in chaos.
Immediately afterwards, the golden light overflowed from Fairy Luo's eyebrows again, returned to the stone tripod, and converged quietly.
Luo Xianzi suddenly regained consciousness, her blood energy no longer surged, her Tao Yun became peaceful again, and the inexplicable throbbing disappeared.
But between her eyebrows, there was a small golden plum blossom.
This small golden plum blossom is exquisite and beautiful, adding a holy and magical charm to Fairy Luo, making her even more extraordinary.
"This is…"
Fairy Luo touched the mysterious plum blossom on her forehead in disbelief, not knowing why.
She used her consciousness and soul power to communicate with the plum blossom, and immediately felt the plum blossom become cold, and the spiritual platform felt dizzy again.
Fairy Luo immediately stopped moving, still feeling frightened.
What is this? Is it a blessing or a curse?
Why did that golden light leave a plum blossom between my eyebrows?
You won’t be bored doing my makeup, right?
Fairy Luo didn't dare to communicate with that plum blossom anymore. She believed that there would always be a chance to figure out what it was.
Anyway, the test was passed.
In fact, most people will pass this step. After all, people who are hostile to Medicine Dao Shrine will not dare to come here for inspection.
Fairy Luo came out of the Shennong Altar, and Qin Yu said with a spring breeze: "From today on, Junior Sister Luo will officially become the Danzi of the Qingmu Palace of my Medicine Dao Shrine."
"Please also ask Junior Sister Luo to change her clothes and go see Master Qingmu Hall!"
He also noticed that Junior Sister Luo had a golden plum blossom as big as a grain of rice on her forehead, which added a touch of charm and made her look even more beautiful.
However, he didn't think much about it. He thought it was just a makeup touch.
It is not uncommon for female nuns to use flowers.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Daozi." Fairy Luo smiled sweetly.
Qin Yu secretly said: "Junior Sister Luo, you must be obedient. I have allowed you to become the Pill Master of Qingmu Palace so smoothly, so don't be disrespectful of me, haha. It's best if you agree to that matter. If you don't agree..."
…………
Wuji Tiancheng, Mu clan palace.
The Yangshen Temple, where Mu Wuji was always present, was now well-organized and filled with senior members of the Mu family's direct lineage.
Mu Wuji sat in the middle, with the elders of the Mu family on both sides, and then Mu Yue and other disciples' legitimate daughters.
Among them, a woman who looked similar to Mu Wuji was sitting next to Mu Yue and Mu Yaochai.
It was Jiang Xiucheng.
Because of the martial arts that Mu Wuji practiced, none of the children here looked like him. On the contrary, Jiang Xiucheng, the niece, looked like Mu Wuji, the uncle.
For those who didn’t know, they thought Jiang Xiucheng was Mu Wuji’s daughter.
But this is not strange. It is common for nephews to look like uncles.
At this time, Jiang Xiucheng was different from before.
In the past, Jiang Xiucheng had a low-class temperament, and anyone who looked at her would know that she was a girl from a poor family with no background, and she had the aura of wandering around the world.
But just one night, Jiang Xiucheng was wearing an extremely exquisite and luxurious real dress, with a very high-grade ring on her hand, and her temperament changed a lot.
She looks very much like a noble lady.
As the saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. It's really not just talk.
The direct descendants of the Mu family here all know what Mu Wuji is going to say.
Sure enough, Mu Wuji said straight to the point:
"Xiucheng has been found, but Longcheng has not come back yet. Xiucheng, you said he was a retainer lord in a small martial arts clan in the Western Regions. Has he ever found his biological parents?"
Jiang Xiucheng replied: "Uncle, I have also looked for him, but I was unable to find him."
Of course she would not say that she had never looked for Jiang Yao, or even had any intention of looking for it.
This is also where she is dissatisfied with Jiang Yao. But when it is time to cover up, she will definitely cover up for Jiang Yao.
Mu Wuji has not held a family meeting for family matters for many years. But today he held a family meeting for this matter, which shows that he attaches great importance to this matter.
"Have you told him that you have found me?" Mu Wuji asked.
Jiang Xiucheng said: "Xiucheng has already sent a flying message, but he didn't reply. He must be in retreat."
Mu Wuji thought for a while and looked at Mu Yue:
"When the monthly vote list restart conference is over in three days, you will take a trip to the Western Regions in person and bring your cousin back. Then you can clean up the mess for him."
Mu Yue stood up and said respectfully: "My lord, my cousin said that my cousin is doing a very satisfactory job as the little lord. If he is not willing to come back, what should I do?"
He didn't think that his cousin would definitely want to come back.
"Huh?" Mu Wuji frowned and looked cold.
Everyone feels a bit of pressure.
"Don't want to come back?" Mu Wuji shook his head, "Just a small lord of a small martial clan, but he doesn't want to go back? He is the direct son of the Jiang family and my nephew, how can he be a retainer of a small clan?"
Mu Yue said bravely: "If he really refuses to come back, then..."
Mu Wuji said, "You know that I am his uncle, but you don't come to see me? Why don't you leave Mu Clan's noble family alone and become a retainer of a small family? What's the point of this?"
"This matter is not his fault. Of course your cousin is willing to come back. If he really doesn't want to come back, then take him back. With me here, it's not his turn to be willful."
"Follow your orders," Mu Yue said.
Mu Wuji continued: "Find out who in the Western Region has offended your cousin and kill them all."
"Yes." Mu Yue accepted the order again.
"Mu Wuxie, how are you doing with the investigation I asked you to investigate?" Mu Wuji looked at his other son again.
He always lets his family handle household matters, not his retainers.
Mu Wuxie stood up and reported, "I would like to inform you, my lord, that my cousin was brought to the Central Region by a man named Xiao Yu and a woman named Qing Jia."
Jiang Xiucheng gritted his teeth when he heard this.
She was taken to the Central Territory by the man and woman. She was tightly controlled and freed along the way, but she never knew the origin of their names.
It turns out that one is named Xiao Yu and the other is named Qing Jia.
"My cousin's obsession has something to do with these two people," Mu Wuxie continued.
"It has now been found out that Xiao Yu and Qing Jia were both divine formation masters of the Formation Dao Shrine. However, for unknown reasons ten years ago, they suddenly betrayed the Formation Dao Shrine and disappeared."
"This time, when they brought their cousin to the Central Territory, they did not go back to the Formation Dao Shrine, but went in the direction of Qingming Mountain."
"But on the way, they met a man named Xu Zhen."
"Xu Zhen, courtesy name Yuantai, second-class retainer of the Yu Clan, this person..."
Mu Wuji impatiently interrupted Mu Xie: "I know that Xu Zhen, the Yu clan, is a broom star and will be unlucky wherever he goes. You don't need to introduce him, just talk about it."
Mu Wuxie continued: "I don't know why, but after they met Xu Zhen, they were recognized by the good-hearted Xu Zhen and stopped to chat for a few words."
"The two of them deserved to be unlucky. They were wasted on just a few words, and they were suddenly recognized by people from the Formation Dao Shrine who happened to be passing by."
"After a big battle, Xiao Yu and Qing Jia were seriously injured and managed to escape. My cousin was still conscious at the time and took the opportunity to run away. She has been wandering to Shenggong Tiancheng..."
"The strange thing is that the Formation Dao Shrine sent many people but failed to catch the two of them. Erchen has sent people to catch them, but there is no news yet. The two of them fled to Qingming Mountain and disappeared without a trace.
.”
Mu Wuji said indifferently: "It has been rumored since ancient times that there is an entrance to another world in Qingming Mountain, and it may be true. Humph, even if the two of them go to heaven and earth, we still have to catch them. Where can we escape?"
He turned to look at Jiang Xiucheng and said, "Xiucheng, did those two people say anything unusual on the road?"
Jiang Xiucheng said: "I found these two in an ancient tomb. My uncle now knows that I am a tomb builder."
"I saw that the spiritual energy in the ancient tomb was rich and there was no one to interfere with it, so I broke through the Wuzong there."
"But at the critical juncture, I discovered that this is not an ancient tomb, but a formation disguised as an ancient tomb!"
"It's a very high-level psychedelic formation! I fell into the formation, and the person who set up the formation was watching me from outside."
"This fright made me go crazy."
"Then we fell into their control. Along the way, they rarely spoke. I remember one sentence very well. What I said was that I finally found out that this woman is a direct descendant of the Jiang family. I hope she can be the key."
I wish she could be the key?
Mu Wuji snorted coldly: "How brave. Mu Wuxie, do these two have a family?"
Mu Wuxie said: "Father, their family has long been wiped out by the Formation Dao Shrine."
Mu Wuji said with a stern look: "Keep looking, they are wanted all over the world. Catch these two people and hand them over to Xiucheng to deal with them personally."
Jiang Xiucheng gritted his teeth and said: "If I catch them, I will definitely skin them with my own hands, beat their tendons, and let them die a miserable death."
Jiang Xiucheng has never been a gentle and kind woman.
"One more thing. Uncle, my brother is also a direct descendant of the Jiang family. Will they keep an eye on my brother..."
………
After a few people made some arrangements, Mu Wuji emphasized to everyone again:
"Xiucheng is one of our own, and she is treated like the legitimate daughter of the Mu clan. Anyone in the family palace who dares to be rude to her can give it a try. Do you hear me clearly?"
Everyone expressed their stance together: "We would never dare."
Mu Wuji looked at Jiang Xiucheng and said, "Xiucheng, what do you have to say?"
Jiang Xiucheng said: "My uncle gave me Cang Yue Palace. The place is too big and too gorgeous. I can't get used to it."
Mu Wuji shook his head: "That's the place where your mother lived before she got married. Of course, I have to share it with you. Isn't it too big and too beautiful? Just get used to it."
"Also, don't do any more tomb robbing. It doesn't matter if you do it occasionally. But the hat of tomb repairer must be taken off after all. Do you understand me?"
Jiang Xiucheng stood up and said, "Yes."
Mu Wuji said: "I will not be polite to you, just like Mu Yue Yaocha. If you don't practice well, you have to take care of your skin, understand? The same goes for Longcheng. If you don't succeed, don't blame me for being harsh.
Already."
"Yes, uncle." How dare Jiang Xiucheng not listen?
Mu Yue stood up and asked another question.
"Father, my cousin is the future son-in-law who was betrothed to Yu Clan. Will Yu Clan interfere in my cousin's affairs?"
Mu Wuji sneered: "Don't mention that he is not the son-in-law of his Yu clan. Even if he gets married in the future, it will not be Yu Canglang's father-in-law's turn to take care of my nephew's affairs."
"Speaking of which, Longcheng is really impressive. Yu Yan is just a kid, but he can still deceive him, haha, hahaha!"
"It's a pity that this little girl Yu Kuan is not my daughter, so she took advantage of the old fox Yu Canglang. It's really weird that such a person can give birth to Yu Kuan."
Mu Yue and others: "..."
Jiang Xiucheng: "..."
Mu Wuji changed the subject and added: "Also, Yi Guizang is out of seclusion, and the monthly voting list will be restarted. There are 300 places in this list. If you can't get four seats, watch your skin."
Four seats?
Mu Yue and others immediately looked at each other.
Mu Yaochai said on behalf of his brothers and sisters: "Father, we can get the most three seats on the list, how can we get four?"
Everyone knows who will make it to the monthly voting list.
Mu Wuji shook his head: "Don't forget, Longcheng is a medicine spirit body, so he is bound to be on the list. If he is not on the list, then Shen Gua Tang will be nothing."
"Well, I don't know when the Taoist master of the Medicine Dao Shrine will come back. It's about Longcheng being a medicine spirit, so I should tell him. Longcheng is a medicine spirit, and he's not a Taoist disciple. Who is qualified?"
Mu Yaochai smiled and said: "What about Qin Yu Daozi?"
"He?" Mu Wuji raised his eyebrows, "He is indeed a talented person, but the Yao Spirit Body is born. If he is smart, he should abdicate in favor of others. If not, don't talk about me. The Taoist Master of Yao Palace will not agree in the first place."
…………
"Junior Li Luo, meet the Lord of the Palace!"
In the Qingmu Hall of the Yaodao Shrine, Fairy Luo was paying homage to Liu Jiuqiu, the master of the Qingmu Hall.
Liu Jiuqiu is a quasi-medicine sage with a medicinal cultivation level, a martial arts cultivation level and a martial arts god, and he is nearly three thousand years old.
This person is, of course, a real big shot.
The medicinal aura all over his body is as deep as the sea, like the aura of chaos, which makes people feel awe-inspiring.
Liu Jiuqiu sat quietly, receiving the great gift from Fairy Luo, and then he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's time to change your name and call me master."
"Yes, Master." Fairy Luo followed the etiquette and personally offered a cup of tea, "Master, please have some tea."
"Okay, okay. I didn't expect that I would still meet such a great disciple despite my limited time." Liu Jiuqiu said with a comforting smile.
He turned to a young man next to him and said, "Dansheng, why don't you call me uncle?"
It was the mid-term Medicine God who had previously participated in the Danzi campaign and failed in the end: Liu Dansheng!
Liu Dansheng looked at Fairy Luo with mixed emotions, hesitated for a moment and saluted with his fists clasped, and said bitterly: "Liu Dansheng has met Master Uncle Li!"
