The courtyard is deep, with green vines and gurgling water making it even more desolate and lonely.
After walking through the bluestone path, walking through the verandah, and arriving at the Moon Gate, the maid Du Man bowed and said: "Ahead is the inner courtyard where the real person lives. She doesn't like the crowd, so I won't go in. Please invite the three real people."
After saying that, she stopped moving forward. The corner of Yunli's mouth twitched. This society may not be serious. She didn't want to see the maid who had been with her for decades. She was a little worried about the next exchange.
Stepping into the inner courtyard, the neat medicine garden occupies the whole courtyard, leaving only a narrow path in the middle. A woman in green with a single snail bun has her back to the door, squatting in front of a cluster of ice cloud flowers, as if Observing its growth trend.
Yunli cleared her throat and tried to make her voice gentle, "Taiyi Zong Yunli, An Ran, and Mu Yan are here to visit the real person."
The woman turned her head and saw clearly how well the three of them were dressed, and smiled slightly: "It turns out they are fellow Taoists from the Taiyi Sect. Please come quickly."
With that said, she stood up and came forward, wearing a emerald green smoked sweater, a green grass skirt with scattered flowers and water mist, and a thin veil of green water on the outside. Her beautiful eyes were as clear as autumn water, her dimples were as white as gelatin, and her face was quiet and fresh.
His words are generous and his movements are smooth and fluid. He doesn't seem to be afraid of society, nor does he have any pathology.
After passing through the medicine garden and entering the main room, Master Lingxi naturally poured tea for several people watching, and then asked with a smile: "What do the three fellow Taoists want from me?"
Yunli suppressed the doubts in her heart, smiled, took out the transmission note given to her by True Lord Suxi, and said: "That's it, we are responsible for investigating the disappearance of the mother Gu in Xiefangyuan. I heard that fellow Taoist once lived in Xiefangyuan. Come and inquire as usual.”
Master Lingxi held the transmission talisman without crushing it, and said with a smile: "Since it is a routine inquiry, there is no need to specifically ask my grandfather for instructions. The three fellow Taoists are being polite."
Yunli looked at Anran Muyan calmly. This seemed not only normal, but also quite humane and sophisticated.
She calmed her expression and said seriously: "We just want to know if there was anything abnormal inside during the time you lived there, such as any spiritual power fluctuations, space fluctuations, etc."
Master Lingxi frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said apologetically: "Sorry, I have never paid attention to foreign affairs. On weekdays, I only tend to the spiritual plants, flowers and plants, and refine elixirs. I pay little attention to other things."
"That's it," Yunli still smiled softly, "It doesn't matter, we are monks, everything we have experienced is stored in our minds, we can just reminisce together."
As she spoke, she moved her fingertips slightly, and a miniature courtyard slowly appeared in front of several people's eyes, "Which room in Xiefang Courtyard does Fellow Taoist live in?"
Master Lingxi's eyes lit up and he exclaimed: "Fellow Taoist Yun has great mental skills and unique techniques."
"It's just a small trick." Yunli didn't take it seriously. He just used magic to outline a model of the courtyard. This was much easier than outlining leaves and sand that were enough to look real.
"Fellow Taoist has a clever mind, how can ordinary people think of this." Master Lingxi was still full of praise.
After repeatedly avoiding the topic, Yunli couldn't help but suspect that she was deliberately changing the topic.
She pursed her lips, remembering Zhenjun Suxi's instructions, and tried her best to maintain a friendly and gentle smile, "It's just a trick. Fellow Taoist, do you live in Fangmanting?"
Master Lingxi quickly realized that he was off topic, smiled apologetically, and said: "There is a four-season pink peach tree in Fangfei Garden in the southwest. I like it very much, so I live there."
Yunli's eyes narrowed slightly. Fangfeiyuan is an outer room on the west side of Xiefangyuan. Outside is the road leading to the Deacon's Courtyard. There are many people coming and going, which is not in line with the temperament of Lingxi Zhenjun Xijing.
She smiled and said: "The medicine garden is located in the backyard. I thought you would choose Fang Man Ting in front of the backyard."
Lingxi Master looked serious: "I prefer Four Seasons Pink Peach."
Yunli looked at Anran Muyan in confusion. Could it be that the Four Seasons Pink Peach has other functions?
Four Seasons Pink Peach, except that it can bloom in all seasons, is no different from ordinary peach blossoms. Oh no, ordinary peach blossoms can also bear fruit. Four Seasons Pink Peach does not bear fruit and can only be used for viewing.
It is one of the most common spiritual plants in Canglan Continent. It is of little value. You can buy one for a piece of low-grade spiritual stone.
An Ran raised his hand to hold his tight bun, and casually glanced at the well-kept medicine garden outside the house, pretending to be chatting about everyday things.
"Bingbingyunhua is very delicate and extremely difficult to take care of. I visited a Taoist friend's medicine garden. The stems are slender and flexible, the petals are dewy, and the edges are microwave-shaped. The fragrance is clear but not greasy. They are all of top quality. . I believe fellow Daoist Lingxi is very good at alchemy. Why didn’t he go to the last alchemy assessment?”
"Fellow Daoist An Ran is also an alchemist?" Lingxi's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, it's not just me. Ayan is also an alchemist. Moreover, she is very good at handling spiritual plants. Under her hands, even Ninglu Lan can grow into the best."
Lingxi Master's eyes brightened even more: "So, you all took part in the Alchemy Assessment last time?"
An Ran smiled and said: "When I passed the seventh-grade alchemy examination, I was so happy that I thought I was a rare alchemy wizard.
When I met fellow Taoist Lingxi today, I realized that I was frivolous. Just by looking at the cultivation of spiritual plants, I can see the talent and carefulness of fellow Taoist. "
"Fellow Daoist An Ran is so humble. At your age, being able to pass the seventh-level examination is a testament to your talent. I don't like to practice, and I don't have any chores to worry about. I spend my whole day tending spiritual plants and refining elixirs. Practice makes perfect."
There was envy in her eyes, and she said disappointedly: "I also wanted to go back then, but my grandfather asked..."
Yunli was stunned. Was this acknowledgment that she was better than her cousin?
Although my cousin didn't like alchemy, alchemy was her only way out back then, so she devoted all her energy to studying, and only then passed the seventh-grade alchemist exam in the later stages of foundation building.
This is extremely rare. Back then, there were only three of her, Mu Erya, and Liu Hanyan. How talented this master Lingxi must be!
With such a talent, why didn't Suxi Zhenjun let her take the alchemy assessment?
She looked over and saw a slight smile on Lingxi's face. She turned her head and asked Mu Yan, "Where is Fellow Daoist Mu?"
Mu Yan smiled in surprise, "I had just established the foundation not long ago, and I could only pass the fifth-grade assessment."
"It's amazing that you can refine low-level elixirs just after building the foundation!" Lingxi praised in surprise. After finishing her words, she was stunned and murmured: "I remember that the last alchemy test was thirty years ago. From the early stage of foundation building to the formation of core, it took thirty years?!"
She was shocked, and Yunli was even more shocked. She didn't know them?
Just tell me why I felt weird just now.
After coming out of Jiuliyuan, several of them could be said to be famous as Dong Canglan. They were all disciples of the four major sects. She stayed in Fenshui City for another four years. Even if she had not seen them, she should have heard their names.
An Ran gave Yunli a secret look, exchanged words with Mu Yan, and chatted with Lingxi.
Yunli closed her mouth wisely and allowed them to talk professionally. The two of them sang in harmony and came up with a lot of words.
Yunli was an outsider, so she didn't understand the condensation techniques. She only heard that Lingxi alchemy was very efficient, and she had to refine it every few days. She didn't stop even when she went back to the Phantom Palace to retreat.
In other words, as long as it can be proven that she was the one who made the alchemy while in the Phantom Palace, she can basically be ruled out as a suspect.
But, how to prove this?
Hey, didn't she go back to recuperate and retreat? Why did she want to make elixirs?
Putting aside the doubts in her heart, Yunli listened quietly to the conversation of the three people, listening to their discussions on everything from raising spiritual plants and alchemy techniques to condensing medicine techniques and the time of drug administration.
She was confused. Seeing that the topic had shifted to discussing the pros and cons of the elixir, and there would probably be no new progress in the follow-up, Yunli took the opportunity to interrupt: "It's getting late, we still have things to do, how about you guys Talk to you next time?"
"Ah, have we been chatting for so long! We have to go." An Ran looked at the sky and stood up in wonder.
Master Lingxi seemed to be still interested, and said reluctantly: "I have been in Fenshui City. If you two have time, you can often come to see me."
An Ran smiled and said: "It's not what you asked for, as long as you don't mind us disturbing you."
Yunli couldn't help but sigh with regret at the late meeting. That arrogant and domineering little princess had grown up. If she had such acting skills back then, she would be a no-brainer.
As soon as they left the inner courtyard, the maid came up to them nervously, "How is it? Are we okay?"
Yunli said with a dull face, "She's fine. It's me who's in trouble."
She held her head, her ice face turned into a bitter melon face: "It makes my head spin."
"You're not happy to give you free alchemy lessons." An Ran rolled his eyes angrily.
"I'm not an alchemist."
Mu Yan couldn't help laughing, "It won't hurt to learn more."
Yunli hugged her arm and tilted his head on her shoulder, "It's not because of you. Why am I learning alchemy? All I need to do is fight well and protect you."
"You are so old, and you are still acting like a baby." An Ran rolled his eyes and almost rolled his eyes to the sky. Xuan Er raised his chin, "This fairy can protect herself, just protect A Yan well."
She has been away from the sect these years, doing things as she pleases, especially in the Immortal Crying Valley for ten years. In addition to practicing, she has begun to learn sword techniques. Wei Lin, Mo Huai, and Chu Nan also give guidance from time to time, and her sword skills have been refined. It has to be presentable.
Yunli would never undermine her confidence. Hearing this, she said: "Then Ayan will be happy. She will have one more person to protect her in the future."
Mu Yan held one in each hand, "With two such beautiful fairies protecting me, the young talents in Canglan will be jealous of me."
"The three real people have such a good relationship." The maid was sincerely envious.
Mu Yan smiled and pulled them out: "But to be honest, Ah Li, you have to learn more, at least recognize the spiritual plants. I often make elixirs, so I can't let you go outside..."
bump!
Before he finished speaking, there was a loud noise from behind. Yunli's feet spun around and she turned around to block the two of them.
A blazing red light exploded in the courtyard, and the precious spiritual plants that were carefully planted were either burned to ashes by the fire, or were blown away by the violent airflow, flying into the sky along with the soil.
Yunli didn't know many spiritual plants, but she knew the Ice Cloud Flower, one of the main ingredients of the Golden Pill. One flower requires at least three high-grade spiritual stones.
Looking at the white flowers that were crushed by the aftermath of spiritual power or swallowed by tongues of fire, her heart was bleeding. How many high-grade spiritual stones were needed!
