The three of them arrived at a quaint palace. Li Chen stepped forward and opened the door, followed closely by Mu Sheng and Hong Ze.
In the palace, Li Wengao was seen sitting on the futon in the center of the palace. Although he was over a hundred years old, he still looked like an elegant middle-aged man and did not look old at all.
Mu Sheng excitedly stepped forward, knelt down and saluted, saying, "Master, I haven't seen you for so many years. I miss you so much."
Li Wen came over and held up his hands. He looked at Mu Sheng up and down, smiled slightly and said, "Sheng'er, get up. You have already reached the state of practicing Qi to counteract the weak. It seems that you have just barely started. Not bad! No." I'm lazy. Although the relationship between master and disciple is shallow, I have missed you very much in the past few years. I wanted to find time to go to Qingyang to see you. However, there are many affairs in the sect, and I can't leave. By the way, tomorrow I’m going to the Presbyterian House to meet with the elders, do you understand?”
Mu Sheng said, "Report to Master, my disciple knows."
Mu Sheng chatted with his master Li Wen about family affairs. He remembered the golden lightning and said, "Master, I have one more thing to ask the master about when I come here..."
Mu Sheng described the strange effects of the strange lightning method to his master Li Wen in detail, and his senior brothers Li Chen and Hong Ze looked in disbelief.
Li Wen frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Come to the martial arts field with me as my master."
After everyone arrived at the martial arts arena, Li Wen pointed at a wooden stake and said to Mu Sheng, "Sheng'er, do your best and let me see what's going on."
When Mu Sheng heard the words, he immediately calmed down and stared at the wooden stake, using all his strength. His mind moved, and the sea of qi in his body kept rolling. Suddenly, a shadow flashed across the sky, and a golden lightning bolt as thick as the mouth of a bowl fell from the sky, striking. Then he broke the wooden pile, and the wooden pile fell into pieces, and soon it was burned to ashes.
After the operation, Mu Sheng was still dizzy for a while as expected. He could only wait for the poor spiritual power in his body to recover before he could use it again tomorrow.
Seeing this situation, Li Wen looked serious, while senior brother Li Chen looked surprised and inexplicable.
Hong Ze clapped his hands and cheered, "Wow! Second Senior Brother is so awesome. What is this trick? I want to learn it too..."
Li Chen pondered for a while and said, "The wooden stakes in the martial arts field were blessed with formations, but they were blown up like this. The power of junior brother's full blow is equivalent to a full blow of a heavenly master-level spell. No, it shouldn't be." ? How can it be possible for my junior brother to create such a powerful spell with his current cultivation level..."
Mu Sheng, Li Chen, and Hong Ze all looked at their master Li Wen to see if he could explain something.
"You come with me."
Everyone returned to the palace. Li Wen sat down on the futon with a solemn expression and was about to cast a spell. He pointed to the futon opposite and said to Mu Sheng, "Sheng'er, sit across from me. I have to use Vipassana to check your Qi sea."
When Mu Sheng saw Li Wen's serious face, he felt uneasy, so he had to sit still and hug Yuan Shouyi as he was told and closed his eyes. At this time, he only felt the master's huge spiritual power rushing into his eight extraordinary meridians and traveling around, until Converging into the air sea.
In his daze, Mu Sheng's consciousness seemed to vaguely see the shadow of a huge beast covered in golden lightning slowly swimming through Mu Sheng's mind. However, he did not feel fear at all. Instead, he felt that it was his own body. a part of.
After waking up from trance, Mu Sheng opened his eyes and saw his master Li Wen, senior brothers Li Chen, and Hong Ze looking at him with concern.
When Li Wen saw that he woke up, he didn't ask Mu Sheng before he could ask. He explained, "Sheng'er, I know the reason. Do you remember the python beast inner elixir that my master gave you? I helped you refine the inner elixir." Did any strange phenomena appear when taking pills?"
Mu Sheng nodded, indicating that he knew, and then described the process of refining the inner elixir to his master Li Wen in detail.
Li Wen stroked his beard and said, "Hey! What you are using now, Sheng'er, is not a magic formula at all. It is the innate magical power of the python beast, the Tiantian Heart Thunder. Those who are hit by this thunder method will be burned and stiffened. This is actually That’s not the most serious thing. The most sinister aspect of this thunder method is that it will hurt the soul, which can range from losing consciousness to losing consciousness in severe cases.”
"My master just checked your body. I guess it is possible that when the python was killed, part of its soul escaped into the inner alchemy. Normally, if this part of the soul is strong enough, it may backfire and seize the body of its owner. Your body, you can awaken in a mortal body the innate magical power that is only available to the python clan. It is really unique and unbelievable. This trick will harm the world. You must not do it easily unless it is absolutely necessary. You must remember that Teacher’s words.”
When Mu Sheng heard this, he realized the seriousness of the problem and asked, "Master, is there any way to extract the spirit of this python beast from my body? I don't want to be snatched away by something for no reason..."
He was a little worried when he thought about taking away his body. Strictly speaking, he took someone else's body and used it as a backdoor. Wouldn't it be a joke to let this monster take his body again?
He has only occupied this trap for a few years. Even if he gave up his skin, he would not let go of Xixue, Yun'er and the others...
The master stroked his beard and gave a reassuring expression: "Don't worry, disciple. If this matter were left to others, it might really be possible for someone to take away your life, but you are different. You know what it means to have an innate mysterious spirit that is unique among all people." A Taoist body? This kind of physique is not only extremely suitable for cultivation, but the soul of a person with this kind of physique has an extremely powerful spirit. There is almost nothing in this world that can take away your life, unless the enemy is much stronger than you."
"As for why your innate supernatural powers are so powerful, it's also because of the Xuanling Taoist body. This kind of constitution is much more powerful than ordinary monks when using any five-element spells. It is similar to the innate five-element spiritual body. When you reach heaven, You will understand when you reach the master level and can use Taoism freely."
Senior brother Li Chen and junior brother Hong Ze looked at him and looked at each other. They didn't expect Mu Sheng to have such potential...
When Mu Sheng heard his master mention the innate five-element spirit body, he thought of the almost perverted strength of the female devil Hua Zilan. The innate fire spirit body is one of the five-element spirit bodies. It is equivalent to having its own magic amplifier. Isn't the Xuanling Taoist body even more powerful? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but imagine the future.
Mu Sheng said, "Master, can you extract the soul of this python beast? I always feel uneasy."
Hearing this, Li Wen comforted him and said, "It took too long for the spirit of this python beast to enter your body, and I can't even pull out its remaining soul, but you can rest assured. It's also the beast that deserves to be unlucky in life. It's like you." With a physique that is rare in a thousand years, the remaining essence of it has been completely integrated with you, making it difficult to distinguish each other. This may be an important reason for your innate supernatural powers to be awakened only after you awaken the monster. It will not do anything to you. Obstruction.”
Mu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, not bad! fine! Not a big problem,
Li Wen gave Mu Sheng another small bottle of medicine and told him, "This is a soul-soothing pill. If you take it on time, it can soothe your mind, replenish your brain, and restrain your inner demons."
Mu Sheng took it with respectful hands and said, "Thank you, Master, for the medicine."
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps coming from behind the palace, and a beautiful woman in royal attire with her hair tied up walked in with swaying steps. Mu Sheng raised his eyes and saw that the curved eyebrows, With a touch of powder and pink, she looked fresh and elegant, looking like she was in her early twenties.
She placed a plate of ginseng soup in front of several people and said softly, "I made some ginseng soup for you to taste."
Li Chen and Hong Ze quickly thanked me and said, "Thank you, Master."
The two took the small bowls, took the ginseng soup and slowly tasted it.
Mu Sheng looked in disbelief. The woman in her twenties was actually the master's wife?
He hurriedly took the ginseng soup handed over by his wife, and accidentally said: "Thank you, sister...ah no! Thank you, my wife."
The woman chuckled when she heard this and said to Li Wen, "I heard that this young man is your new direct disciple?"
Li Wen nodded angrily as an answer.
The master's wife smiled slightly and said, "Yeah! She is really handsome."
She took out a jade talisman from her arms and handed it to Mu Sheng and said, "Master, I don't have much good things to give you during my daily life, so just treat this jade talisman as a meeting gift and give it to you for self-defense!"
Mu Sheng turned to look at his master Li Wen, and saw Li Wen nodded slightly. He had no choice but to take the jade jade with both hands and say thanks, "Thank you, Master, for the treasure."
This made Hong Ze's eyes light up. Mu Sheng felt from Hong Ze's envious eyes that this Yujue should be a good thing.
Everyone chatted for a long time. In order not to disturb the master's Qingxiu, Mu Sheng and Li Chen resigned from the master's palace and walked back. Junior brother Hong Ze was asked by the master to do other things.
Seeing that there was no one around, Mu Sheng asked Li Chen teasingly, "Senior brother, is she really our master's wife? Is this the master's rebirth? Master, this can be regarded as a man with an old heart, and he can be regarded as an old cow eating young grass. More than a hundred He still married a girl in her twenties..."
When senior brother Li Chen heard this, his poker face could no longer hold up anymore. He laughed loudly, pointed at him and said, "Don't let your words reach Master's ears, otherwise I will have to beat your butt to pieces. You You guessed it right, the master's wife is indeed the master's successor. Even though the master's wife looks young, in fact, Zhu Yan Youshu is in his fifties. The only one in the Yuzhen Sect who can control the master is the master's wife..."
"I see."
Mu Sheng thought, Okay! This cultivator really can't judge his apparent age.
"Senior brother, I heard that Junior Brother Hong's great-grandfather is the real person Xuan Ling? Is he also an elder? He has a good background?"
Li Chen nodded and said, "Yes, even though we are a small Yuzhen Sect, the internal factional struggles are not weaker than those in the court. After the master advanced to the realm of Four Elephants Returning to One, the Elders Council directly let the master take over the position of head teacher. , The reason why the master accepted the grandson of Master Xuanling as his disciple is mainly to form an alliance with Master Xuanling, so that there are also our people in the elders' courtyard."
"Elder Xuan Ling has also accepted a direct disciple named Tang Ming. His cultivation talent is also quite amazing. You must understand that direct disciples are the future of the sect and are the monks who are most likely to reach the realm of Four Elephants Unified. In the elders' academy, only the former head master Xuan Jing is the only powerful person who has cultivated to the realm of the four elephants as an inner disciple, and the other elders were all born as direct disciples."
"Now the Elder Council appoints me as the first senior brother because of my status as a direct disciple. As long as the sect reaches the realm of the four elephants uniting into one, I can directly enter the Council of Elders in the future. Even if I don't take over as the head teacher in the future, I can still Go directly to the Elder's House. Think about it, our master has accepted you and me as two direct disciples. Including Tang Ming, four people will enter the Elder's House in the future, as well as Xuanling Zhenren. This Yuzhen Sect is really ours. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the Li family class can cover the sky with one hand..."
After listening to the senior brother's words, Mu Sheng was thoughtful. It seems that wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and monks are not immune to secularism. This presbytery is equivalent to the board of directors of the group company. In addition to the master, there are currently five Four Elephant Returners. The elders of the First Realm belong to different factions, and his master has become the head teacher, which is equivalent to the president of the group company and has great power.
According to the senior brother's analysis, he and his senior brother will be able to directly enter the Elders' House in the future when they have reached the level of cultivation. They will be equivalent to future directors and shareholders. The alliance with Master Xuanling will be equivalent to having two elders and three future elders in their faction. Now The only one in their group in the Presbytery is Master Xuanling.
If everyone joins the Presbyterian Council, the old balance of power in the Presbyterian Council will soon be broken. When the time comes, there will be only five of the ten directors in the Presbyterian Council, and we will have five votes, which will already account for half of the voting rights. Li Jiaban can basically reach the point of covering the sky with one hand in Yuzhen Sect.
Mu Sheng analyzed in his mind that the Council of Elders asked the master to take over as headmaster in order to slow down the speed of our faction entering the Council of Elders. This is evident from the fact that even the senior brother was confirmed as the next successor to the Council of Masters.
At that time, if the master abdicates and enters the Presbytery, and his senior brother takes over, he himself may be arranged to take over the position of head teacher from his senior brother to delay his entry into the Presbytery.
Why! Mu Sheng had to sigh in his heart, no matter where he was, power struggles were always with him...
