The Elders looked at each other in dismay as their faces turned extremely ugly after the Spiritual Bead was taken by someone else.
Without the Spirit Pearl, even if Evil Sword Immortal was eliminated, the Demon-sealing Tower could not seal him. When the passage to the Demon Realm and the Demon Realm opened, the human world would face a catastrophe again.
As for this calamity, it was because of a moment of foolishness that they had committed back then.
If the catastrophe came, even if they died, it would be difficult to make up for their mistakes.
You Xuan hurriedly looked at Qing Wei and said, "Senior Brother, this is a serious matter. Can you deduce who took the Spirit Pearl before Changqing and Jing Tian?"
Qing Wei narrowed his eyes and pinched his fingers to deduce.
A short moment later, Qing Wei opened her eyes, and her eyes were filled with confusion. She said, "The workings of the heavens are unfathomable. The path ahead is completely obstructed by mist. For some unknown reason, even I'm unable to discern the truth."
"What should we do? Without the Spirit Pearl, the Demon-sealing Tower …"
"Junior Brothers, don't worry. Everything is destined. Now that the mysteries of heaven are unpredictable, maybe it's not a bad thing. It's much better than the original prediction."
Qing Wei waved his horsetail whisk with a faint smile on his old face, as if he was not worried about this.
"Senior Brother, what should we do next? Should we order Changqing to come back?"
"No, let Changqing continue to follow Jing Tian and continue to search for and collect the Spirit Pearl. Jing Tian is still too weak now and needs to be tempered. Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to bear the heavy responsibility."
Then, Qing Wei sighed and said, "You can go back for the time being. Just instruct your disciples about the Wonderful Pill Hall. There's no need to spread it."
"Senior Brother, we'll take our leave."
After the four Elders left, Qing Wei's eyes flashed with confusion. If he remembered correctly, that boy once said that he also went to the Ancient Vine Forest. Could it be that he took the Earth Spirit Pearl?
But the Fire Spirit Pearl was also taken by someone else. That boy was only at the Mahayana Realm. How could he go to the Ghost Realm?
Besides, what did he need the Spirit Pearl for?
Shaking his head slightly, he threw this unrealistic idea to the back of his mind. An illusory voice came from the Dubhe Palace, "Chang Yin, come to the Dubhe Palace quickly."
…
…
Unknowingly, time slipped away quietly. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
In this half a month, Shushan was the same as always.
However, a week ago, the matter of Mu Qingxiao becoming an elder of the Wondrous Pill Hall caused a huge uproar in the entire Shushan.
Without a doubt, Mu Qingxiao's age and strength were questioned.
Many new and old disciples were envious and jealous of him for being an elder at such a young age. However, after learning that he was a Mahayana cultivator and a ninth-grade alchemist, their faces burned.
In an instant, the so-called genius disciples of Shushan were overshadowed. With Mu Qingxiao at the top, who would dare to call themselves a genius?
After the conferring ceremony, Mu Qingxiao has been staying in the pavilion behind Jade Palace to cultivate.
Not to mention other things, just the rich Spirit Qi here was enough to tempt people. In just half a month's time, Mu Qingxiao had already entered the intermediate seventh level.
Although it was only a small realm, the increase in strength was undoubtedly huge.
At this moment, the wooden door connecting Jade Palace and the pavilion opened, and a petite loli in a blue Daoist robe walked in. Her eyes were full of joy and worship.
"Elder Brother, Senior Brother Chang Yin sent some things here under the orders of the Sect Master."
In the pavilion, Mu Qingxiao's sword-like eyebrows twitched. He gradually opened his starry eyes and saw a pretty little girl.
Cao Gu was the name of the little girl in front of him. She was only eight years old and was a pitiful child. Both her parents had died. Because of her good talent, she was picked up by Old Man Qingwei.
Although Cao Gu was young, her cultivation was not strong among the Shushan disciples, but her reputation was among the best.
Even Xu Changqing, a genius comparable to Shushan, was not bad.
Shushan did not accept female disciples, but because Cao Gu was born in a medical family and inherited the talent of her parents, her talent in medicine was extraordinary. Shushan made an exception to accept her.
What surprised Mu Qingxiao the most was that Shushan's Marrow Cleansing Pill and Body Tempering Pill were actually made by this little girl in front of him.
Seeing her hiding the things behind her and looking at him with her big eyes, Mu Qingxiao was a little helpless.
"Take the things."
Cao Gu was a maid arranged by Old Man Qingwei. She was proficient in washing clothes and cooking. Mu Qingxiao had no reason to refuse at that time. It was not bad to have a maid.
After spending a short time with Cao Gu, Mu Qingxiao knew that this little girl was not simple at all. She was even more mature than her peers.
Perhaps, this was related to her experience.
In addition to the medical hall, this little girl would come to the Merak Palace every day and pester Mu Qingxiao to teach her alchemy.
Cao Gu came to Mu Qingxiao's side and put the things on the jade table. She grabbed his sleeve and said coquettishly, "Elder Brother, when will you teach me alchemy?"
"Little girl, why do you want to learn alchemy? Isn't medicine good?"
"Grandpa Qingwei said that medicine is ultimately limited. Alchemy can save more people. Grandpa Qingwei also said that alchemists will be respected wherever they go."
Mu Qingxiao did not agree with the saintly ideology that Qingwei had instilled in the little girl.
"You are now a Qi Refining cultivator. When you reach Foundation Establishment, I will teach you alchemy."
"Really?"
Looking at her innocent look, Mu Qingxiao nodded helplessly.
He would not stay in Shushan for too long. Alchemy was not something that could be learned overnight. It required time and aptitude. He did not have that much time to teach this little girl.
Of course, since he had promised Qingwei, Mu Qingxiao would not go back on his word.
When he left, he would pass the "Zhu Zilu" to Cao Gu. The content was enough to make Cao Gu a Ninth Grade Alchemist.
Of course, how far she could go depended on this little girl. Shushan had a strong background and a deep foundation. It was completely enough for her to squander on alchemy.
After Cao Gu skipped away, Mu Qingxiao picked up the things on the jade table and looked at them.
Old man Qingwei ordered people to send two jade tokens, green and white. One of them was used to prove one's identity, and the other was a pass.
With the pass, one could go to the medicine garden in the back mountain and Shushan's True Martial Hall.
The True Martial Hall was Shushan's important place. All of Shushan's cultivation techniques and even those of other sects were placed there.
For thousands of years, countless cultivators had coveted Shushan's True Martial Hall. However, they were afraid of Shushan's strength and background, so they could only scheme in secret.
It would not be strange if there were spies from other sects in Shushan.
As for the medicine garden, only the disciples in charge of it and the elders with the pass could enter.
The medicine garden was heavily guarded and was a forbidden area of the sect. There were countless spirit herbs in it and they were very old. It was Shushan's inheritance.
