Inside the palace, there were only shelves and cauldrons, as well as jade pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes. There was nothing around, but there was a small bronze door at the back of the palace.
The door was only of normal size, which could accommodate ordinary people. Compared with the palace's gate, which was more than ten feet high, it was simply dwarfed.
Pushing open the wooden door and walking out of the palace, Mu Qingxiao's eyes suddenly lit up.
Unexpectedly, behind the Merak Palace, there was also a lake. In front of the lake, there was a few willows planted, and on the jade ground, there was an antique pavilion.
The red-crowned crane flew through the void and stopped in front of the willow lake, picturesque.
Coming to the pavilion and sitting down, looking at the clear lake water, it could be seen that this Patriarch Shushan, the Taiqing Immortal, was also a person with a temperament.
Feeling the rich spiritual energy around her, Mu Qingxiao sat cross-legged in the pavilion and immediately entered a state of cultivation.
…
…
At the same time, in the Tianshu Palace on the main peak of Shushan.
"Senior Brother, why did you call the four of us here? Is there a problem with the Demon Sealing Tower again?"
As soon as the calm voice fell, four figures walked into the Tianshu Palace one after another. The four people were wearing Daoist robes, with snow-white hair and a horsetail whisk in their hands.
Seeing the four people come to the front of the palace, Qing Wei sat cross-legged on the futon: "I called you here not because of the Demon Sealing Tower, but something else."
"Huh?"
Cang Gu, Jing Ming, You Xuan, and He Yang looked at each other, a little confused.
The five of them, except for Shushan's important matters, usually stay in their own palaces and don't get together at all.
Now, Qing Wei called them here, probably for something important.
Thinking of this, the four elders' mood suddenly became heavy. The matter of the Demon Sealing Tower had not yet come to an end, and they didn't expect another wave to come.
It was really an autumn of chaos.
Seeing the four people's heavy expressions, Qing Wei chuckled and said, "Junior Brothers, don't be so agitated. This is a great joy, not a disaster."
"Great joy?"
As soon as the words fell, the four elders were startled and looked at Qing Wei, listening attentively.
Sitting quietly on the futon, Qing Wei's tone was rather solemn.
"Two years ago, Shushan let that evil creature escape from the Demon-sealing Tower. Although he sent Chang Qing down the mountain to search for a way to seal it with Jing Tian, because of this, Shushan also lost many disciples …"
The four elders were silent. The incident with Evil Sword Immortal had started because of them, and this was a responsibility that they could not shirk. No matter what the outcome was, they should bear the responsibility.
The cycle of karma.
"Senior Brother, what exactly is it that has made Senior Brother so happy?"
You Xuan was the smartest and quickest of the five. He had always acted as a strategist by the sect leader's side. He could clearly tell that this matter was not the main topic.
"There's no rush. Listen to me slowly."
A wisp of a smile appeared on Qing Wei's face when she spoke up to this point. She continued, "I met a young friend today. This young friend is an extraordinary person."
"Eccentric?"
"That's right. Because of the incident with the Evil Sword Immortal, our sect lost countless disciples. We can only draw blood from the secular world to make up for our losses. However, it will take too much time for them to grow and support the huge Shushan sect."
With that, Qing Wei sighed.
"However, this child's arrival may allow the younger generation of disciples to grow faster. He is about to take on the role of Shushan's sixth elder. His cultivation is not bad, and he has reached the seventh stage of the Mahayana Realm. Moreover, he should be no more than sixty years old."
Hearing this, Cang Gu, Jing Ming, You Xuan, and He Yang were all shocked.
A Mahayana Realm cultivator who had cultivated for no more than sixty years was indeed very talented. Thinking back, when they were at Qing Wei's age, they were only insignificant Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The other three elders did not speak. You Xuan pondered for a moment, then said, "Sixth Elder … all the elders of Shushan are immortals. The young friend that Senior Brother mentioned has not been conferred a title by the God Realm. This decision may be a little too decisive."
"The God Realm … If the God Realm finds out, I'm afraid it won't be our Shushan's turn."
Qing Wei shook his head with a wry smile. He was not stupid. If the God Realm found out what a ninth-grade alchemist was, it was likely that they would fight over him.
"Senior Brother, this child is only a Mahayana Realm cultivator. Whether he can survive the Nine Tribulations and become an Earth Immortal is unknown. The five of us are all Earth Immortals. If we squeeze in a Mahayana Realm cultivator, I'm afraid we will be laughed at by the other sects."
At this time, one of the slightly plump elders spoke slowly, obviously disagreeing with this matter.
Qing Wei waved his horsetail whisk, still wearing a faint smile on his face.
"How could I not know what you are talking about? Do you all think my brain is not working well? A mere Mahayana Realm cultivator is not even qualified to be a guest of Shushan."
"What do you mean, Senior Brother?"
"In addition to his good cultivation, this child has another identity. I think even you will be surprised."
Qing Wei kept them in suspense, then said, "If a ninth-grade alchemist is qualified to take on the position of Shushan's sixth elder, do you think he is qualified?"
In an instant, the entire Tianshu Palace was silent, and the four elders were shocked.
"A ninth-grade alchemist … Senior Brother, do you mean this child is a ninth-grade alchemist?"
Qing Wei nodded solemnly and said seriously, "This is not a trifling matter. Speaking of which, this child has some karma with our Shushan. He came to Shushan because he obtained a handwritten letter in the Ancient Vine Forest. The one who left the letter may be that person."
"Senior Brother, you mean …"
Although Qing Wei did not reveal the child's identity, the four elders were all smart and could guess a thing or two.
"Since this child is fated to be with the Shushan, the Shushan cannot disgrace his identity, so I plan to reopen the Wonderful Elixir Hall and let the alchemy lineage flourish. You all know that the alchemy lineage is passed down from the founder, but it has declined in the past few generations."
Qing Wei's eyes dimmed as he spoke. He had once wanted to become an alchemist, but he did not have the qualifications to do so.
Alchemists were extremely rare, and even the elixirs of the Shushan were not refined by alchemists but developed by doctors. They were not real alchemists.
"Do you have any objections to letting this child take the position of Sixth Elder?"
The four elders fell silent. A ninth-grade alchemist was indeed qualified. Moreover, Sect Leader Qing Wei seemed to have made up her mind, and even ten bulls would not be able to change her mind.
"We will follow Sect Leader's orders."
Qing Wei nodded in satisfaction, and his gaze fell on Elder He Yang. "By the way, has Changqing sent back any news? How is the collection of Spirit Pearls coming along?"
Elder He Yang was slightly taken aback and hesitated to speak.
"Senior Brother, there are some problems with Changqing and Jing Tian."
Qing Wei's gaze focused. The Spirit Pearls were their last resort against Evil Sword Immortal, but there were problems at this time.
"What on earth is going on?"
"According to Changqing's message, not only the Earth Spirit Pearl, but even the Fire Spirit Pearl has been taken by someone else. They are now on their way to Lei Zhou."
