Although Zhuo Qingqing and her group entered this world through the Gate of Yanjiao, they did not plan to stay in the guest house arranged by Yanjiao. Instead, they stayed in the branch of Anatta Temple.
Although Yanjiao was rumored to be a Daoist technique passed down by Yuan Zun, there was no need for spiritual opportunity to cultivate it. It was not the Daoist technique of the past. It could be considered a new Daoist technique, so the cultivators of the old sects always felt that there was a gap between them and the people of the new sect.
Anatta Temple was different. Nowadays, their branches were spread all over the world. Not only did they not clash with any sects, they also suppressed evil and demonic beings everywhere. They were even more trustworthy.
Three years passed in a flash.
Every disciple who came to train, as long as they were able to survive, had their horizons greatly improved, and their cultivation had also improved.
However, among this group of people, the one who improved the fastest was not the most outstanding people, but Zhuo Qingqing.
During these days, Zhuo Qingqing only felt that her body was stable and her Qi dynamic was lively. She could quickly get rid of distracting thoughts when she cultivated, and there were almost no obstacles in the improvement of her magic power. This was really unbelievable to her.
She realized that it might be the effect of the baby jade, but when she thought about the smile on the jade that day, she felt a little uneasy.
Although she came from a small sect in the Mountain and Sea Realm, she was knowledgeable. She knew that some things seemed to bring great benefits on the surface, but in reality, they might not be good things.
After thinking about it, she decided to ask an expert to examine it.
Fortunately, the cultivators of Anatta Temple were good at this, so she did not need to look outside. She came out of her residence and walked to the front of the main hall. She told the guarding disciple that she wanted to see the master.
The master of this branch was surnamed Liu. After a few months, he was very familiar with the cultivators who lived here. When he saw Zhuo Qingqing looking for him, he immediately invited her in. After greeting her, he smiled and asked, "What is it, Fellow Daoist Zhuo?"
Zhuo Qingqing said, "Master, I obtained a treasure a few days ago, and it has benefited my cultivation. However, the origin of this item is strange, and it makes me feel uneasy. Therefore, I came here to ask Master Liu to appraise it and distinguish good from evil."
Master Liu stroked his beard and said, "Oh? Where is the item that Fellow Daoist Zhuo mentioned? "
Zhuo Qingqing took out the baby jade from the sachet and handed it over.
Headmaster Liu took it and secretly used the secret technique of Anzhen Temple to observe it. On the surface, other than the bright red color, there was nothing wrong with it. He pondered for a while and said, "Fellow Daoist, please wait."
He turned to the back of the hall. With his own abilities, since he was unable to identify it, then he could only ask for the help of the treasures in the lower house, so he turned to the Ancestral Hall.
The Anatta Temple slayed demons and suppressed evil. On top of every branch's altar, there was a precious mirror that was sacrificially refined by the main altar. It could reflect many evil spirits.
He placed the baby jade stone under the mirror and allowed the light to shine on it. After a short while, he saw a stream of light seeping out from it. He was dazzled and realized that this was indeed a treasure. However, after looking at it over and over again, he didn't notice anything strange.
However, he felt that there might be something wrong with it. After thinking for a while, he came out and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhuo, this item is indeed mystical. However, I can't tell right now. If Fellow Daoist is not worried, you can leave this item here for a few days. I will definitely give you an explanation."
As he said this, he added, "Of course, if Fellow Daoist is unwilling, you can take it back at any time."
Zhuo Qingqing hesitated for a while and said, "Alright, then I will leave it here with Headmaster Liu."
Headmaster Liu nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist, don't worry. It won't take long."
After Zhuo Qingqing bowed, she bid farewell and left.
In order to verify the effect of this item, Headmaster Liu kept it by his side. After a few days, he felt that his mana had improved a lot faster than usual. What surprised him the most was that when he sat with this item, many things that he usually couldn't figure out were instantly solved.
After a few more days, a strong thought surged in his mind. If this treasure was so useful, why not take it for himself?
When facing Zhuo Qingqing, he could easily say that this was an evil item. However, this method was too crude and anyone could see that something was wrong.
After thinking for a while, he had an idea in his mind.
However, after a month, Zhuo Qingqing came looking for him again. Without this jade, her cultivation slowed down again. It was difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. She was used to advancing quickly, but now she had returned to her original state of accumulating mana bit by bit. This was somewhat unacceptable to her, so she couldn't help but ask about the situation.
Headmaster Liu placed the baby jade on the table and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Zhuo, I still haven't found anything strange. This item should be fine. Fellow Daoist can take it back and take good care of it."
Zhuo Qingqing was overjoyed and at the same time let out a sigh of relief. She took the baby jade back and said gratefully, "Thank you, Headmaster Liu."
Headmaster Liu waved his hand and said, "It's just a small matter. However, fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. "He took out a Talisman from his sleeve," This is a talisman that I brought from the main altar. It can suppress evil spirits. You might as well keep it with you. That way, if anything happens, it can help you block it. "
Zhuo Qingqing did not decline. After sincerely thanking him, she retreated.
Now that she had the knot in her heart, she no longer rejected the jade stone. She often carried it with her, and her cultivation improved. After more than twenty years, her cultivation had already surpassed most of her peers. At the same time, she was also highly regarded by many of her fellow daoists.
One day, an elder of the Luo Sect appeared in a place and she was ordered to intercept him. When she was fighting with the elder at a critical juncture, her Qi dynamic suddenly disappeared for a moment for no reason.
How could there be the slightest mistake in a battle between cultivators? Just when she thought that her life was in danger, a strange Qi suddenly emerged from the jade and made up for the missing power. That was how she was able to avoid the crisis and kill the Luo Denomination Elder.
However, at this time, she felt nauseous and dizzy. She had no choice but to find a mountain top to land on and release a hut. She stumbled and hid inside. She felt a surge of energy rushing up and spat out a ball of red light. When the light dissipated, there was a baby lying inside the hut.
She couldn't help but turn pale with fright. She couldn't figure out what was going on. When she came back to her senses, she stretched out her hand to touch it, only to discover that the jade had disappeared without a trace. How could she not understand that the jade was related to the baby?
She realized that this child was not simple. She immediately raised her hand but when she saw the child's innocent eyes, she could not do it. In the end, she sighed and hugged the child. She thought to herself, "As long as I don't say anything, who will know?"
At this moment, she sensed something and shouted, "Who's there?"
A gust of wind blew and the curtains fluttered. A Daoist was standing outside.
When Zhuo Qingqing saw him, she was surprised, "Headmaster Liu? Why are you here? "
Headmaster Liu looked at her and smiled, "You don't have to hide. I don't believe that you can't see that I've done something to the Talisman."
Although he had the intention to take the jade baby, he knew that it was not possible to do so openly. It was easy to leave an opening, so he deliberately did something to the Talisman. Once Zhuo Qingqing fought with an evenly matched opponent, it was possible that the item would be activated. However, for some reason, he did not do anything to it.
However, he had a second method, which was to come and take it himself. After so much time had passed, as long as he did it cleanly, no one would link him to this matter.
When Zhuo Qingqing heard this, the surprise on her face disappeared. She asked coldly, "What do you want?"
Headmaster Liu looked at the baby in Zhuo Qingqing's hand and said leisurely, "I've endured for so long just to get this item." When he finished, he did not waste any more words. He pressed his fingers together and in an instant, there was a flash of lightning that split open the hut and landed inside.
Zhuo Qingqing's jade face turned pale. She recognized that this was the Demon Subduing Thunder Technique from Huanzhen Temple. However, it could also be used to kill Daoists. Although the two of them were of similar levels, the other party was from Xuanmen Sect. He knew many supernatural powers and Daoist techniques. His power was great and it was not something that a small sect like hers could compare to. She quickly took out a protective pearl and placed it in front of her.
However, with a bang, the pearl turned into a pile of charred flesh and fell. It was destroyed by the lightning in an instant.
Master Liu's eyes glowed with a faint red light. He opened his palm and a Pi Xiu made of ink lines flew out towards Zhuo Qingqing. Even before it reached her, the roar had already locked her in place, making her unable to move. However, what surprised him was that the Pi Xiu's shadow bit the air.
His expression changed. The place where Zhuo Qingqing was standing was empty. It looked like she had moved to another place. It was impossible for her to do it on her own. She must have borrowed the help of an external force.
He was not impatient. If Zhuo Qingqing wanted to protect that child, then she would not dare to spread this matter. Therefore, he still had a chance. He tapped his feet and his Gang Qi revolved. He had already soared into the sky.
In a cave residence in the Yanjiao branch altar, there was a glint in Zhang Chan's palm. There was an object that was circling inside. He was refining a treasure.
At this moment, a disciple's voice came from outside. "Lord Zhen, there's another decree on the Method Developing Tablet."
Zhang Chan immediately stopped and ordered to bring it in. After reading it, he thought to himself, "Since it's the old master's decree, then I can't ignore it."
In reality, Zhang Yan was in the Qinghuan Palace to observe the Great Dao. He would not pay attention to these matters from time to time. However, the Weili that he left here would respond on its own. It would pass down the decree and get rid of everything that might be detrimental to the Yanjiao.
Zhang Chan could not be bothered to think too much about it. He took care of his disciple and said, "Call Meng Hu here."
Not long after, Meng Hu came in and bowed. "Teacher, disciple is here."
Zhang Chan said, "Today, another Spirit of Creation has entered the realm. However, it is not in this realm, but in another heavenly region. I expected that you would be the one to handle such matters in the past few times. This time, it is better for you to go. Remember, don't mess it up."
Meng Hu felt wronged. "Teacher, when did disciple let you down?"
Zhang Chan snorted. He thought of the matter of Gou Han. He glanced at him and said, "I hope so."
