True Element Sect
It was located in the East Spirit Gorge. It was a mountainous area. The mountain was not tall, but there were hills and gentle slopes. A Daoist temple was built on top of it, and its name was True Element Sect.
The True Element Sect was built in the 19th year of the Great Jin Dynasty. It was destroyed by the previous dynasty, and was rebuilt after seven years. Devotees could only come to the mountain gate, the Imperial Monument Pavilion, the front tower and the Hall of Wind and Rain.
"Aunt!" Ye Su'er entered the back and saw that the water was green and slippery. From afar, she could hear the sound of a zither, making the hall seem even more serene. She entered and saw a lady playing the zither. Ye Su'er listened for a long time, and when she stopped, she called out, "Aunt!"
The lady frowned, "Call me Master in the sect."
"Master." Ye Su'er said obediently.
"Su'er, why aren't you cultivating? Why are you here?" The lady looked at Ye Su'er. Her hair was tied up in a high bun, and she wore a white jade hairpin. She was dressed in green, and had a cold expression on her face.
"Yes, Master. I heard that you want to go to Peach Blossom Origins Monastery. I want to go too." Ye Su'er shook her hand.
The lady was the Sect Leader of True Element Sect. She felt a headache coming on, and knew that she could not spoil her. She then said, "But it has only been a year and a half since you laid the foundation. Have you forgotten our promise?"
Ye Su'er's eyes were filled with hope. Hearing her aunt say this, she stepped forward and held her hand, "Master, but I've already cultivated to the seventh level. Besides, I've been training every day. I'm bored. Let me go!"
"What? You're not at the sixth level? When did you break through to the seventh level?" The lady heard Ye Su'er's words. Although she had seen Ye Su'er's talent, she did not expect her to be so monstrous.
"Master, I just broke through recently. Please check." Ye Su'er extended her hand and said.
The lady touched Ye Su'er's hand. Indeed, she was at the seventh level. Seeing her aunt like this, Ye Su'er knew that she was moved. She hurriedly said, "Aunt, I beg of you."
The lady helplessly said, "Alright, alright. If you want to relax, that's fine. But you have to listen to me."
Seeing that her aunt had agreed, Ye Su 'er happily stepped forward and kissed her aunt on the cheek, "Thank you aunt!"
Wiping away the saliva on her face, the lady stretched out her hand and knocked on Ye Su'er's head. She looked at Ye Su'er with a faint smile, "You look so happy. Are you thinking of going to meet your lover in secret? If you had been in love with him for a long time, how could you have stayed with him day and night?"
Hearing these words, Ye Su'er looked at her aunt. She saw that her aunt did not seem to be angry. Instead, she seemed to be reminiscing the past. Could it be that her aunt also had a period of unforgettable love?
Suddenly, he remembered that he had inadvertently overheard the private conversation between the sisters in the sect. They said that his aunt had a deep love affair with a minister in the imperial court. However, she couldn't have both the Imperial Qi and Dao Karma. She missed the opportunity, so she never married. Perhaps it was true?
Just as Ye Su 'er was thinking, the Sect Leader turned around and walked away. Halfway through, she looked at Ye Su' er and said, "Su 'er, follow me."
Ye Su'er finally reacted and hurriedly followed after the lady.
Angelica, Ginseng, Lingzhi, Panax Notoginseng, Deer Antler and Knotweed. Pei Zi Yun placed all these herbs in front of the cauldron.
The cauldron was opened and the herbs were poured into the cauldron one by one. The entire room was filled with the strong smell of herbs, making anyone who smelled it cough.
"Cough cough, Senior Brother, are you going to concoct the Six Flavours Pill?" A young Daoist asked.
"Of course, this pill is very nourishing. I can use it after I finish cultivating." Pei Zi Yun carefully concocted the proportions of the herbs.
"Senior Brother, I haven't studied much in the Pill Mantra, but the six flavours are very nourishing. The Knotweed has some poison in it. If I eat it, will it affect my body?" The young Daoist frowned and asked.
Pei Zi Yun placed the herbs into the cauldron and said, "That's why I need a cauldron to remove the poison."
"Senior Brother, so you need a cauldron to remove the poison." The young Daoist finally understood. He had borrowed this Daoist from the sect to assist Pei Zi Yun in concocting pills.
"Congratulations Senior Brother on concocting a good pill. It will help your cultivation level improve greatly." The young Daoist smiled. Usually, not many people concocted pills. This was the first time he had seen someone concoct pills and wanted to learn from them.
When Pei Zi Yun heard these words, he gave a bitter laugh, "How can it be so easy? Without nine layers of gentleness, there's no way I can concoct pills. My inner energy cannot be used to remove the poison in the cauldron."
"But once I've opened the gates of heaven and become a Yin Master, I will no longer need these pills that increase my physical strength. The value of these pills is very low, much less immortal pills."
Hearing Pei Zi Yun's words, the young Daoist frowned, "Senior Brother, what's the reason for that?"
"In the early stages of establishing a foundation, it's extremely weak. It's only in the later stages of establishing a foundation that we can use this pill. Once we've opened the gates of heaven, we won't need it. Besides, look at how expensive this pill is. It cost me fifty taels of silver. That's why it's useless. Not many people are interested in it.
"If it's effective, why aren't there many people concocting pills within the sect?"
"So that's how it is. Senior Brother, are there no immortal pills in this world?" The young Daoist had obviously heard of the legends of immortal pills and asked disappointedly.
"There are!"
"Really?" The young Daoist's eyes were filled with hope.
"It's true. There are spiritual objects in this world, and they contain spiritual energy. The secret to concocting pills is to combine them with other ingredients, so that people can digest them directly."
"The highest quality ones can even be digested directly by mortals."
"But this is just a legend."
"Spiritual energy from heaven and earth produces extremely rare spiritual objects. Don't even think about it."
"Are you saying that disciples like us can't obtain them?" The young Daoist asked.
"I don't know either. There's no record of this in the sect." Pei Zi Yun replied.
These spiritual objects were filled with spiritual energy. Even if there were any, they would usually be moved to Paradise. How could they be used to concoct pills? How could they be used to concoct pills?
Pei Zi Yun didn't say anything. He then instructed the young Daoist, "The next step is to refine the pills. Go and guard the door for me."
As Pei Zi Yun finished speaking, he started chanting incantations. The pill furnace started to emit 'ding dang dang dang' sounds. Under the furnace, the medicinal ingredients started to take shape.
This was something that the Senior Grand Uncle and the original owner of the body had in their memories. Pei Zi Yun was very familiar with this process. "Ding!" Pei Zi Yun then stopped. Within the furnace, ten pills were formed. They were crimson red and emitted a fragrant scent.
Pei Zi Yun stepped forward and retrieved the pills. He placed them in a bottle and sniffed them. He then took one and swallowed it. After some time, he opened his eyes, "What a pity, what a pity."
"Without the spiritual energy from heaven and earth, no matter how I refine the pills, they are still ordinary pills. They are just supplements without any side effects. To ordinary people, they might be useful. But to me, who has reached the tenth level, they are useless."
"Indeed, even if I don't give up, it would be a waste of time."
"The fire is still considered pure. I can give it to my mother and use it to improve her health. It's not a waste." Pei Zi Yun thought to himself, "Just like what I said earlier, if concocting pills was useful, there would be plenty of people concocting pills. I wouldn't even have a chance."
"In this world, only places like the Exponential Powers Cave can benefit from spiritual energy!"
"But it's hard to say. There are exceptions. Shen Zhen had been burning his blood essence and was unable to improve. Later on, he found the Six Flavored Earth Pills. Coincidentally, these pills were concocted using spiritual items and were beneficial to cultivation."
"But this rogue cultivator, Zhu Zhen, who obtained the spiritual items and used them to concoct pills, suffered the wrath of the heavens and died. As the saying goes, one has to sacrifice oneself to bring happiness to others."
Just as he was thinking, Pei Zi Yun saw Yu Yun Jun approaching from afar. When she arrived, she shouted angrily, "The Sect Leader is too despicable."
"Master, what's wrong?" Pei Zi Yun asked. Yu Yun Jun was initially fuming with anger, and her face was gloomy. But when she heard this question, she fell silent. She frowned for some time before sighing, "You must be mentally prepared."
"The matter regarding the Exponential Powers Cave, has it been settled?" Pei Zi Yun heard this and frowned. The last time, the Sect Leader had rejected him as a Core Disciple. What about this time?
"This time, the Sect Leader said that the Exponential Powers Cave has limited spiritual energy, and that only one person can enter at a time. He said that you have the right to enter, but you have to wait for Song Zhi to come out before you can enter." Yu Yun Jun said.
Although Pei Zi Yun was somewhat prepared, his face still turned ashen. The Sect Leader had done exactly what he had expected. He was trying to force Song Zhi into the position of Sect Leader.
"Hm, there's only one Exponential Powers Cave within the sect, and not a second one. This year's worth of spiritual energy has been given to Song Zhi alone. This is blatant favoritism." Pei Zi Yun said angrily.
Yu Yun Jun was angry as well, but also helpless. She paused before saying, "At least wait for a year. The Sect Leader wants to support Song Zhi, and hopes that he can break through the gates of heaven and become a Yin Master within half a year."
"Elder Zhao supports me, but the Sect Leader doesn't want to go against him. He only wants to delay it for half a year. We have no other choice."
"Hu!" Pei Zi Yun paced a few steps before letting out a long sigh. He didn't speak. Yu Yun Jun was a little dispirited as well. She then said, "I have to report this matter to the Patriarchs. The Sect Leader has gone too far."
"Many thanks, Master." Pei Zi Yun said this, feeling extremely uncomfortable in his heart. The Sect Leader was determined to support Song Zhi, and had rejected all of his requests.
"This matter ends here. However, there's been some progress on the matter that you wanted to investigate." Yu Yunjun said as she handed over a piece of paper. There were several names and addresses written on the paper.
"There's no need to look at me. Although the Sect Leader has rejected the Exponential Powers Cave's request, he has managed to find out who you wanted to investigate." Yu Yun Jun's expression was filled with regret.
Pei Zi Yun paused. This was his request the last time, and the Sect Leader didn't want to make things difficult for him. As long as he didn't interfere with Song Zhi's ascension to the position of Sect Leader, the Sect Leader still had high hopes for him.
"Ai!"
He then sighed heavily and picked up the piece of paper to take a closer look. There were several addresses written on the paper. He then laughed coldly, "Daoist Monastery, Residential Residence, Dental Institute, and Shops. They are really hidden in the wilderness. If I were to look for them myself, I don't know how long it would take."
He then saw a familiar name and paused, "Qin Gao?"
'This man is Xie Cheng Dong's chess piece in Yong Prefecture. He's the second person I wanted to kill. I didn't expect him to come to Ying Prefecture. It seems like I've killed Meng Luo Gong, which alarmed young master Xie. He then sent this man to investigate. Or is he trying to get rid of me? '
Just as he was deep in thought, Yu Yun Jun spoke out, "There are some clues that point these people to Bei Li County, which is close to our mountain. These people have settled down there, and Shi Mu Zhong is here as well."
