Lichen Mountain is located on a high cliff on the left side of the mountain. A building stretching hundreds of feet stands here. The surrounding thirty acres of spiritual fields are full of elixirs in the attic. Nearly half of the seventeen buildings have
It was used as an alchemy room.
Taoist Juexuan was sitting quietly in a pharmacy at the moment. He looked across at Yuwen Yuanzhou, who was lying in a crystal coffin in a daze. The coffin was filled with medicinal wine, star white cold stone, dark fire snake oil, etc.
Fire is poisonous. Being soaked in the cauldron potion all year round can suppress the Snow Soul Silk of Bi Toad, but it will also deposit a large amount of fire poison in the human body.
Therefore, from time to time, it is necessary to take Yuwen Yuanzhou's body out of the cauldron to eliminate the fire poison in his body.
The Star White Cold Stone can maintain extremely low temperatures, while the Dark Fire Snake Oil can keep the medicinal wine in the crystal coffin in a liquid state and cannot freeze.
Perhaps it was because he had been soaked in the cold liquid for too long. Yuwen Yuanzhou's skin was pale and lifeless, like a dead person.
In Taoist Jue Xuan's eyes, his pupils were completely unfocused and he was deep in thought. He seemed to be troubled by something extremely difficult and was helpless.
Before March, he was still thousands of miles away at Qiyang Peak, treating Yuwen Yuanzhou nearby. At this time, he had to move Yuwen Yuanzhou into his medicine furnace.
Just because it is more convenient to get medicine here, the utensils such as the golden needle medicine stove are also more complete. Some special methods are also more convenient to use.
There was deathly silence in the medicine room. After a long time, Taoist Juexuan's eyes suddenly flashed, as if he had some realization. Just as he was about to stand up, he heard a sudden noise not far from the medicine furnace.
Taoist Juexuan suddenly frowned and looked out the door angrily.
"What's the commotion outside?"
The voice was cold and the anger was hidden. Outside the door of the medicine furnace, two figures also walked in immediately.
One of them, dressed in a green shirt, is his closest disciple Su Chen. Although he is one of the most respected elders of the Lichen Sect, and is even listed among the six secret ministers of Lichen, he is still
Guest.
This disciple, Su Chen, has already registered his name in Ming Cui Peak. After his death, Su Chen will be a disciple of Ming Cui Peak and will truly be included in the orthodoxy of the Lichen Sect's two mountains and seven peaks.
The other person was a woman with a delicate and haggard appearance. She was Ye Xiaoyan.
"Reporting to Master," Su Chen bowed deeply and said, "It's a patient from Fushang Pavilion who is discussing the Talent List. His words are fierce and he doesn't know how to restrain himself. He doesn't want to alarm Master."
"List of outstanding talents?"
Taoist Juexuan has calmed down: "So, this year's talent list has been released?"
According to common practice in previous years, the Lantern Festival, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month at the beginning of each year, is the day when the outstanding talents are announced.
However, this year's situation is a bit weirder. From the first month to March, there was no movement from the Tiandao Alliance.
Anyone with a little knowledge would know that this year's situation is probably very different from usual. It also makes monks all over the world look forward to it.
Originally, these had nothing to do with him. Juexuan's daily life was extremely simple. He was either practicing in seclusion or making elixirs for those who came to seek medical treatment. He really had no time to pay attention to the rankings of these rising stars in the world of cultivation.
However, today is different. This time, the Lichen Sect has dozens of disciples who are on the first list of outstanding talents. Among them, Zhuang Wudao, who is under the throne of Xuanling Mountain Festival and has been granted the secret status of the mountain, is even more related to
Fang Xiaoru, a disciple of Qiantian Sect, who is known as the best sect in the world, is tied for first place.
This makes this list of outstanding talents the most important thing for everyone in Lichen. It is also rare for Juexuan to have clear ears. He has heard about it countless times from his disciples and close friends.
"No, it's because there is news from the Tiandao Alliance that the announcement of this year's talent list needs to be postponed again."
"Delay?"
Taoist Jue Xuan was stunned, thinking that it was already March. Did the Tiandao Alliance mean to delay it until the end of the year?
"What's the reason for this?"
"I don't know. The Tiandao Alliance only said that the list has changed and needs to be reorganized. But no one knows the real reason until now. However, it is said that the three major holy sects in the Central Plains have no objections to this."
Thousands of large and small sects in the north and south of Tianyi have reservations for the Tiandao Alliance's list of outstanding talents. Among them, the Three Saints of the Central Plains are extremely wealthy, and each of them reserves three thousand copies of the list of outstanding talents all year round.
However, the relationship between the two families cannot be said to be close, especially this year, with frequent conflicts. The Tiandao Alliance postponed the release of the results, but the Central Plains Three Saints Sect, as the largest patron, did not make any move, which is really strange.
When Su Chen answered, he also had a strange look on his face, and then hesitantly said: "However, disciples have also heard that the reason why the talent list has been postponed is because this time the elite disciples of each sect are leaving.
In the cold palace, there were many deaths and injuries
Because of the tragedy. It is said that Uncle Zhuang of Xuanling Mountain has probably died in Lihan Palace. Just now in the Fushang Pavilion, a disciple of Xuanling Mountain was dissatisfied after hearing about it, and he and Ming Cuifeng and Juechen
Feng’s disciples argue.”
It is impossible for the patients treated by Juexuan to be cured in one go. Among them, those who need recuperation live in the Fushang Pavilion not far from here. This is the life-saving building, dedicated to resettlement, like Yuwen
Yuanzhou is so dying, not far from death, almost terminally ill.
After hearing this, Ye Xiaoyan had a complicated expression on her face. There was a bit of happiness and relief, but also a bit of disbelief and worry.
"Zhuang Wudao? Died in Lihan Palace?"
Juexuan's face was slightly condensed: "Have you ever confirmed whether there is any real news?"
"No, but most of the dozen disciples from our sect who entered Lihan Palace this time have withdrawn from Lihan Palace, but until now, there is no news about Junior Master Zhuang."
When he said this, Su Chen smiled bitterly and said: "The news spread, it is said that disciples from Mingcui Peak, Cuiyun Mountain, Qiyang Peak and Huangji Peak were all calling their friends, drinking and having fun. Some even went so far as to have fun.
The Xuanling Mountain disciples were celebrating loudly. This was too unruly. The disciples within the sect were so estranged from each other. It was really not a blessing to leave the world——
"The resentment between the two mountains and the seven peaks has been accumulated for thousands of years. The hatred between the two sides is deep and the hearts are knotted. How can it be easily resolved? It is already very good if they are not fighting each other."
Taoist Jue Xuan chuckled and shook his head in the same way: "But in my opinion, if Zhuang Wudao is really gone, it may not be a bad thing."
"Master?" Su Chen looked at Juexuan with astonishment in his eyes: "Why is this?"
"After all, it is no longer a thousand years ago. At that time, the atmosphere in the Lichen Sect was harmonious. Mingcuifeng and Xuanlingshan were in charge of the sect and restrained each other, but they were able to work together and deal with the outside world."
Juexuan explained in a calm tone: "It is different now. The hatred between each other has been settled and it is difficult to let go and eliminate it. At this time, only one family can dominate and completely subdue the other party, so that the Lichen Sect can get rid of the whirlpool of internal fighting. Then again
If Ming Cui Peak and Xuan Ling Mountain stand side by side as they did a thousand years ago, Li Chen will encounter unexpected disasters sooner or later. Just like a snake with two heads, one is going to the left and the other is going to the right. The snake's body will just be unable to move.
Just now
The situation is that Xuanling Mountain has Zhuang Wudao who is number one on the list of outstanding talents. However, there are only two monks in Mingcuifeng who are expected to reach the realm of Yuanshen. Therefore, in recent days, I have been worried about leaving the dust every day.
It will fall apart
One day, the first Sanfa Zhenren of Huangji Peak and Yangfa Zhenren of Qiyang Peak saw through this point and supported Hongfa. However, talents like Zhuang Wudao that can make the sect reach higher levels should not be underestimated.
abandoned--"
"I see"
Su Chen was thoughtful and his eyes were relieved. Compared to Xuanling Mountain, which had nothing to do with them, he naturally hoped that Mingcuifeng, which accepted Juexuan's disciples, could take sole control of Lichen.
"Master's intention is that without Zhuang Wudao, the sect will be able to integrate more quickly and heal people's hearts? If you think about it carefully, this is really the case."
"That's not what I said. I said this just because I am dedicated to serving the public good. If the sect can prosper, no matter what, it will be good.
"Master is a public-spirited person, so I will naturally forgive you. It's a pity for me that if Zhuang Wudao had worshiped under Ming Cuifeng's sect, there wouldn't have been so many turmoils. Wei Feng couldn't refuse this matter.
It's because he was smart and hid in the bad land of the extreme south early."
Su Chen shook his head again: "The news of Zhuang Wudao's death is really difficult to tell whether it is true or not, and it is difficult to confirm. It is said that he was not the only one trapped in Lihan Palace at this time, but also the Dharma Wisdom of Liaoyuan Temple and the Xuansheng Sect.
Sima Yuntian, Zhiyuan of Zhenlong Temple, etc. If something happens this time,——"
As he was talking, he was suddenly interrupted by Ye Xiaoyan who was behind him: "Uncle, I wonder when Yuanzhou will wake up? Didn't uncle say at the beginning that Yuanzhou will be able to wake up in a month and a half at most?
?”
"Xiaoyan?"
Juexuan frowned, his eyes showed displeasure, and he faintly heard the implicit question in Ye Xiaoyan's words.
Are you worried about his medical skills?
However, he still restrained himself very gracefully, and Juexuan explained in a calm tone.
"The toxins in Yuanzhou's body are heavier than I thought, but he is getting better. It will never be more than three months before he wakes up."
Seeing Ye Xiaoyan's reluctant expression, she wanted to ask again. Taoist Jue Xuan's tone suddenly turned cold and he said unceremoniously: "Don't worry, no one in this world can cure him except me."
He was poisoned. If even I can't do anything, then Yuwen Yuanzhou will have no one to save him. You, Qiyang Peak, just wait to bury him and return to dust."
Ye Xiaoyan was speechless and did not dare to speak anymore. Taoist Juexuan also waved his sleeves and said: "Su Chen, you can take her out. She will not be allowed to enter in the future. I also remind those at the Fushang Pavilion not to
It disturbs my purity."
Su Chen bowed in response and led the reluctant Ye Xiaoyan out of the pharmacy. And just after the two left, Taoist Jue Xuan's expression instantly turned gloomy. He looked into the crystal coffin.
Yuwen Yuanzhou's gaze also became more sinister.
He must have missed something. The Bi Toad Snow Soul Silk in Yuwen Yuanzhou's body must have experienced other mutations that he didn't know about.
