Maybe it's because of the reverence for Ancestral Master Shushan, neither the Sect Master nor the other elders chose to live in the Merak Palace.
However, there is no such restriction in Mu Qingxiao's place.
Moreover, the Merak Palace has been empty for a long time. It's better to let him live there. The most important thing is that it's close to Wonderful Pill Hall and Medicine Garden.
"Take me to the Merak Palace."
"Yes, Elder."
Chang Yin was a little stunned, but he nodded. He thought that Mu Qingxiao would choose the Alkaid Palace, but he didn't expect her to choose the Merak Palace.
He heard that the young elder in front of him has just been appointed as the Elder of Wonderful Pill Hall. He doesn't know if she will be ostracized by the other elders because of this.
Shushan is majestic and vast. Auspicious clouds flow. The trees are green and sparkling like jade carvings. From time to time, there are gorgeous clouds rising. It's sacred and out of this world.
Walking on the rugged stone steps of Shushan, Mu Qingxiao was filled with emotion. It's true that the kind of land raises the kind of people.
The spiritual energy in Shushan is really majestic. No wonder people can cultivate to Earth Immortal Realm here.
Shushan Mountain is too huge. It stretches for thousands of miles, comparable to the territory of a country. The mountains and forests are full of rare beasts. Ganoderma and immortal herbs are also very common.
However, Shushan's commandments are strict. The Ganoderma and immortal herbs in the mountains and forests are owned by the sect. No disciple is allowed to pick them without permission. Otherwise, they will be severely punished.
At this moment, Chang Yin, who is leading the way, said: "Elder Mu, disciple has a question. I hope Elder can solve it."
"Let's hear it."
Leisurely following behind, Mu Qingxiao looked at the huge mountain range and said softly.
"Disciple has seen some information about alchemy in the ancient books of the sect. I heard that alchemy is a secluded path, which will affect the cultivator's future achievements."
Chang Yin's voice is very small. It seems that he is afraid of angering Mu Qingxiao and making the latter unhappy.
Mu Qingxiao smiled faintly, completely unconcerned.
"There are millions upon millions of Daos in the world, and the Dao of Alchemy is just one of them. To say that alchemy is a secluded path is probably just a misconception. Of course, every medicine has its own poison, and taking pills requires self-control. Otherwise, if the pill poison stays in the body for a long time, it will indeed affect future cultivation."
Hearing this, Chang Yin fell into deep thought.
"At Elder Shushan's level, they are able to force normal pill toxins out of their bodies. I'm afraid that only cultivators with unstable foundations can be affected by pill toxins. Their futures have long been determined. I'm sure your master has told you that the foundation is the foundation of a cultivator."
Chang Yin nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice. Indeed, listening to the wise man's words was better than studying for ten years. He didn't expect this young elder in front of him to know so much, and his words made him feel enlightened.
"Then may I ask Elder Mu, if a disciple with a weaker cultivation base is unable to force out the pill poison …"
Chang Yin's question had indeed hit the nail on the head. After all, ordinary disciples were not like elders who could force the pill poison out of their bodies.
Since they happened to have time, Mu Qingxiao didn't feel impatient and explained to Chang Yin one by one.
"When a cultivator's strength reaches a certain level, his body will have the effect of expelling poison. For example, if you've been cultivating in the sect for a long time, do you usually urinate or relieve yourself frequently?"
Chang Yin was slightly stunned and looked a little embarrassed. He had never thought about this question before. However, ever since he started cultivating, he really didn't urinate or relieve himself frequently.
"The same principle applies to pill toxins. When you're cultivating, the spirit energy in your meridians will circulate, and the pill toxins in your meridians will be automatically expelled from your body, except for cultivators whose meridians are blocked or whose conditions are more serious."
At this point, Mu Qingxiao said, "Marrow Cleansing Pill, Body Tempering Pill, Meridian Accumulating Pill … These are all pills. Since they contain pill toxins and are secluded paths, why do you still use them?"
Hearing this, Chang Yin already had some understanding of alchemy. It seemed that what was recorded in the ancient books wasn't all true. Seeing is believing.
Weren't the Marrow Cleansing Pill, Body Tempering Pill, and so on examples?
"Elder, can you tell me more about alchemy?"
Mu Qingxiao glanced at Chang Yin. The latter seemed to be interested in alchemy, but he didn't intend to take him as a disciple.
"Alchemy? Once upon a time, the Taiqing Immortal of Shushan had extraordinary achievements in alchemy. "
Chang Yin listened attentively.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Earth Qi in the Heavenly Realm changed. The Divine Tree grew tens of thousands of feet long, and its roots were like clouds in the sky, reaching deep into Pangu's Heart. Pangu's Heart gathered the surrounding earth and stones and gradually expanded, forming a floating mountain called "Shushan".
At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Earth Qi in the vicinity of Shushan was special. The phenomenon of extremely strong spiritual energy was discovered by some necromancers, and Shushan became a legendary immortal mountain.
At this point, cultivators began to build huts and cultivate here, but at this time, they didn't form a sect. Everyone had different cultivation methods and relied on their own understanding.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the number of cultivators in Shushan was unprecedentedly prosperous. At most, there were thousands of cultivators, and they were divided into hundreds of small sects, each with their own unique cultivation methods.
The sects had different goals, but most of them were related to Daoism.
At the same time, there were frequent demon cultivators in Shushan, and humans began to understand that there was a race called "demon" in the world. A considerable number of cultivators in Shushan took it as their duty to kill demons, thinking that they could become immortals by doing so. Shushan swordsmen gradually appeared in the folklore.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the various sects in Shushan were in constant conflict. Under the leadership of the 'Immortal Sword Sect', the cultivators of Shushan held a meeting at the peak of Shushan, forming an alliance of the various sects in Shushan, the 'Shushan Alliance'. At the same time, the Three Sovereigns Palace was built at the peak of Shushan, forming the embryonic form of the future Shushan Sect.
During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the various sects in Shushan gradually merged into tens of sects. The largest sect, the 'Immortal Sword Sect', already had more than a hundred people, and there were also many lone cultivators in Shushan who didn't belong to any particular sect.
The various cultivation methods were also gradually completed. At that time, the mainstream method was to concoct pills and take bait, and the internal cultivation of the Immortal Sword Sect was considered to be ineffective.
During the time of Liang Wudi of the Southern Dynasty, because he believed in Buddhism, he denounced Shushan as an evil cultivator. He gathered countless high monks and mages to build Buddhist pagodas in Shushan. The 'Shushan Alliance' resisted with all their might, and Liang Wudi's men suffered a crushing defeat.
After this battle, the strength of the 'Shushan Alliance' was greatly damaged. Many sects that cultivated by concocting pills and taking bait and abstaining from food and energy were almost exterminated due to their lack of battle strength.
The Immortal Sword Sect, because of their powerful techniques, made a great contribution in this battle. At that time, the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sword Sect united the tens of sects in the 'Shushan Alliance' and established the 'Shushan Immortal Sword Sect', which was abbreviated as the 'Shushan Sect'. At the same time, they built a large number of buildings around the Demon Sealing Tower, officially forming the 'Shushan Sect'.
From then on, the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect basically became the mainstream of the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect. Their cultivation methods were focused on internal cultivation and sword techniques. Their cultivation method was to accumulate merit and not to ascend to Immortality, and they actively entered the world to slay demons.
At the same time, they didn't reject the cultivation methods of other sects, and actively collected and preserved all kinds of cultivation methods.
It was also because of this that the art of concocting pills declined. With the passing of time, the art of concocting pills gradually faded from the sight of cultivators, and finally, it was lost.
