Taoist Yingji looked at Dongfang Ruoxi and said, "Okay, you have wasted a lot of time looking for this person during this period.

Next, you can retreat with peace of mind to attack the low-level masters. More than two years later, the three ancient sects will compete in the refining skills, and my master has high hopes for you."

"It's Master." Dongfang Ruoxi responded and asked, "Master, Junior Sister Tantai, how is the weapon refining going now?"

When Taoist Yingji heard this, a heartfelt smile finally appeared on her frosty face:

"Ziyao is very talented and has a very high understanding. Now my teacher has allowed her to enter the Time and Space Pagoda to practice."

"I will continue to give her guidance later. I believe that when she comes out of seclusion, both her strength and her weapon refining skills will improve dramatically."

"She will definitely be as outstanding as you in the future."

…

At noon the next day, Huyanfang City, Discipline Hall.

Huoyun and Qiu Tiechui sat looking at each other.

"Brother Huoyun, what do you think of the proposal I just made?" Qiu Tiechui asked with some anticipation.

Huo Yun nodded heavily and said: "Of course there is no problem, Zheng Shaotian is the person you and I both want to kill, and I will let him die as soon as possible.

After he dies, Elder Qiu will have to keep his word."

"That's natural." Qiu Tiechui said in a loud voice: "After Zheng Shaoge's death, I will definitely offer the flying sword, a low-grade thunder-attributed weapon, with both hands!"

…

Another day passed and Huo Yun returned to Huo Yun Fairy Mountain and saw Shitou standing outside his cave with a frown on his face.

"Thirteenth Elder, something serious has happened." Shitou rushed forward to greet him.

"Deacon Shi, why are you so panicked?" Huo Yun asked with a frown.

Shitou said hurriedly: "When I went to the Minghun Palace to find Deacon Mao yesterday, I found that his life lamp had been extinguished!"

"What? Mao Dun is dead!" Huo Yun said solemnly, "Come in and talk."

Huoyun walked into the cave worriedly, with Shitou following closely behind.

In the cave, Huo Yun frowned and said: "Zheng Shaotian killed my direct disciple Ling Yun, so I asked Mao Dun to find a way to kill Zheng Shaotian."

"With his strength at the first level of the Spirit Refining Realm, he would definitely not die in Zheng Shaotian's hands. So how did he die?"

After hearing this, Shitou said cautiously:

"Thirteenth Elder, Jiang Changfeng regards Zheng Shaotian as his own son. Could it be that Jiang Changfeng discovered something and killed Deacon Mao?"

When Huo Yun heard this, his frown deepened: "If Jiang Changfeng really killed him, this old man would definitely tell Chief Mu Yun.

And if the chief knew about it, he would definitely doubt me.

But if that were the case, why would the chief let me back from Yuling Fairy Mountain? What kind of medicine was she selling in her gourd?

I really can’t figure this out!”

After putting aside his doubts, Huo Yun stared at the stone and sighed:

"I originally wanted to let you kill Zheng Shaotian this time, but now it seems that Mao Dun's death has already alerted the enemy."

"Shitou, do you have any good ideas to kill Zheng Shaotian?"

Shitou thought for a moment and then said:

"Thirteenth Elder, Zheng Shaotian can kill Ling Yun, which shows that his strength on the Dan Vein Battle Ranking should be ranked around 150.

Why don't we let the elite disciples take action?"

"I heard that your eldest disciple Bai Mudan and your second disciple Lu Ming will be released from the top-quality mustard seed pagoda in the next eighteen days.

Why don't you let them kill Zheng Shaotian, wouldn't it be so easy!"

Hearing this, Huo Yun was silent for a while, nodded and said: "Mudan ranks forty-sixth on the Dan Vein Battle Ranking, and Lu Ming ranks thirty-fifth.

Both of them are strong men on the Shenglong List, so it is indeed a good idea to let them kill Zheng Shaotian!"

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you.

When they come out of seclusion, let them find a suitable reason. To be on the safe side, it is best to join forces and kill Zheng Shaotian!"

Shitou smiled grimly and said: "Okay, I understand, you just wait for the news of Zheng Shaotian's death!"

…

Time flies, half a month later, it’s dusk on the Fairy Mountain.

With the door of Muyun Palace closed, voices of disappointment came out one after another:

"Alas, Beihai, failed again! I'm so stupid. Master's elixir recipe is recorded in such detail, but I still can't perfectly integrate the medicinal properties!"

"Miss, I can't blame you for this. You have just been promoted to a low-level alchemy master. It is normal for you to be unable to refine the soul-returning alchemy!"

"I know all this, but if I can't refine it, in more than four months, that old man Fu Yaolong will definitely take the opportunity to threaten me and destroy my innocence!"

"Miss, this...then what should we do?"

"Beihai, someone is coming outside, please put the alchemy furnace away first..."

At this moment, the teleportation array leading to Huyanfang City on the top of the peak lit up, the space rippled, and an 80-year-old man stepped out of the teleportation array with a smile.

This person is none other than Huyan Shengxing’s chief auctioneer and appraiser... Situ Zhonghou.

"Is Miss Jiang here?" Situ Zhonghou smiled broadly, obviously in a good mood.

The door of the palace slowly opened, and Jiang Muyun came out, smiling brightly and asking with doubtful eyes: "Mr. Zhong, what kind of wind brought you here today?"

"What, why can't I come here for a walk if I have nothing to do?" Situ Zhong said with a smile, stroking his beard.

"What are you talking about? Please come and sit in the hall."

Jiang Muyun invited Situ Zhonghou into Muyun Hall and took a seat. Situ Zhonghou looked at Jiang Beihai and said with a smile:

"Seventh Elder, I have something I want to talk to Chief Jiang alone."

Jiang Beihai smiled, turned around and walked out of Muyun Hall, waiting outside the hall.

Situ Zhonghou waved his right arm, and immediately, the surface space of the entire Muyun Hall vibrated, and a soundproof barrier was cast.

Jiang Muyun smiled and said: "Old Zhong, what happened to make it so mysterious?"

Situ Zhonghou smiled and said: "Girl Jiang, I have two things to do here today."

"First, congratulations on finding a good master."

"Second..."

Before Situ Zhonghou could finish speaking, Jiang Muyun became excited and asked hurriedly:

"Old Zhong, apart from my master and my apprentice, no other person knows about my apprenticeship.

Since you know this, you should know how to find my master, right?"

Situ Zhonghou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Girl Jiang, the second thing I said was to tell you how to find your master."

"How to find it?" Jiang Muyun became more and more excited.

She really wanted to see the master. As long as the master took action and refined the soul-returning pill, wouldn't it be within reach?

"Girl Jiang, why are you so excited when your master is mentioned? This is not like your previous character!" Situ Zhonghou looked stunned.

"Old Zhong, let me tell you the truth, I have something urgent to do with my master." Jiang Muyun looked at him eagerly and said, "Please tell me how to find my master!"

"Okay, okay." Situ Zhonghou said truthfully: "I and your master will cooperate on some business for a long time.

Your master said when he separated from Lao Chan that if you want to find him, you should put up a flag on the top of Yulingxian Mountain."

"After your master sees the flag, he will go to Huyan Shengxing to find the old man."

"I made a special trip here today. In addition to telling you this, I also want to ask you, girl, where is your master?"

After knowing how to find the master, Jiang Muyun was able to survive from a desperate situation and said with joy:

"Old Zhong, to be honest, my master comes and goes without a trace. I don't know his identity either."

"Really? He said that you are his only disciple, and you don't even know it?" Situ Zhong said in a very questioning tone.

"Old Zhong, I didn't lie to you." Jiang Muyun said with a look of resentment:

"Master, it's true that he didn't tell me anything."

"Hehehe, okay, I believe you are." Situ Zhonghou smiled and said sincerely:

"Girl Jiang, although I don't know who your master is, I can be sure of one thing.

Your master’s alchemy skills are much better than those of the elders of the Holy Sect’s alchemy veins!”

"You should study alchemy well with him, and you will have a bright future."

Situ Zhonghou said this because for more than half a month, he took the elixir recipe given to him by Zheng Shaoge and did not let the elders of the Holy Sect's elixir lineage see it.

Instead, he asked to see the current sect master. After reading it, the sect master was shocked and concluded that the elixir recipe of the longevity elixir was genuine.

Let me tell Situ Zhonghou that Jiang Muyun’s master is most likely an old antique from the Huyan Holy Sect who has lived for thousands of years without caring about worldly affairs and devoted himself to cultivation!
