Yudaofeng.
Seen from a distance, this is a sacred mountain suspended in the vast sea of clouds, with a radius of more than 30,000 miles. Purple air is steaming all over the body, and a rich Taoist rhyme flows permeating it. Countless auspicious clouds and bright haze shroud it. Occasionally, you can see people shouting. Unnamed spiritual birds and beasts appear in the mountains and forests.
It is not an ordinary floating mountain peak, but the exclusive cave of the supreme masters of the Yunmeng Tiangong. Its body is a genuine innate spiritual treasure, and it is also a key formation of the sect's main altar mountain protection formation. It was left by the founder of Mengtian Palace.
Whoever takes over as the leader can have control of this treasure and live in it all year round until he retires and hands over the power.
On the top of the sacred mountain, there is a small blue lake. The rich and pure spiritual energy turns into a purple mist visible to the naked eye, rippling on the lake surface.
Qin Muling was sitting in a small pavilion by the lake, frowning as she browsed through the mountains of jade slips at hand. The stone platform in front of her was filled with all kinds of delicacies, snacks, and spiritual wine.
After a while, the sound of slightly heavy footsteps sounded. Qi Yalan was holding a round copper tripod with three legs and two ears the size of a human head. She frowned and walked step by step, a little slowly.
When she got closer, she gently placed the round tripod on the stone platform, then breathed a long sigh of relief and sat down next to Qin Muling.
The ground trembled imperceptibly, and the stone platform blessed by multiple runes glowed with streams of light, which disappeared after a few breaths.
"Is it actually so heavy?"
Qin Muling raised his head and asked with a smile. Although sword cultivators are not known for their physical strength, the fact that it can make a great cultivator in the destiny realm work so hard shows that the weight of this round copper cauldron is indeed a bit unusual.
Qi Yalan said angrily: "This kind of rough work should be done by your fourth senior sister next time. It's really... my body is almost falling apart from exhaustion!"
Qin Muling put down the jade slip and took the delicate hand of the third senior sister. A pure and gentle spiritual power was injected into her body, which immediately relieved the extremely uncomfortable feeling of pain and fatigue.
"According to Master, this Four-pole Divine Elephant Cauldron is a special spiritual treasure in the sect. All elixir ingredients cooked and stewed by it will have extraordinary effects and will be of great benefit to the improvement of cultivation. The only shortcoming is that it is too heavy, especially this adult abyss horn-headed dragon, which weighs more than 100,000 kilograms. Plus there are enough rare elixirs to fill a hall, and there is so much icy holy spring water. No wonder I’m tired of you!”
Qi Yalan pursed her lips and smiled, and touched Qin Muling with her warm and smooth jade hands. She felt a little hot in her heart, and her delicate body subconsciously moved closer to him, and then she put her arms around her junior brother's waist.
Qin Muling sighed and had no intention of resisting. Qi Yalan sat on the younger brother's body naturally, took his hand and put it on her waist. Through the thin material, the wonderful and enchanting touch was not enough. outsiders say.
Since their last hot spring bath, the relationship between the two has invisibly deepened, so much so that Qin Muling likes to take advantage of the third senior sister from time to time. Of course, more often than not, it is this senior sister who takes advantage of her junior brother, but she would never admit it.
As a saint of Yunmeng Tiangong, with a noble family background and noble blood, Qi Yalan has always felt that she still pays attention to her image. She must be elegant, reserved, and dignified in her daily life, behavior, and dealings with others. However, her junior brother likes this, so she can only do it reluctantly. She wanted to cater to him, but it was not her own lustful young man who was lusting after her junior brother's body.
Qi Yalan told herself with certainty that this was the truth of the matter and would not accept any refutation.
Considering that this was on the leader's territory, the two of them did not act too outrageously and stopped after a moment.
"This big guy has been stewed for seven days and seven nights, and it's almost done."
Qi Yalan said: "Master's intention is that 70% belongs to you and the rest belongs to me. When I finish eating, I can retreat and prepare to survive the thunder tribulation, but this still requires your cooperation, little junior brother."
Qin Muling nodded: "Of course I have no problem."
Speaking of which, Xue Bingxuan's cultivation level was originally higher than Qi Yalan's, but she was usually too distracted by mundane affairs, which delayed her cultivation. She was not as brave and diligent as Qi Yalan, who focused on sharpening her sword intent, plus the time she spent with Qin Muling For a longer period of time, I have continued to gain enlightenment and inspiration, and now I am about to complete the accumulation and be the first to take this step.
The two started cooking immediately. Qi Yalan took out the tableware and first filled a bowl with it for her junior brother. The snow-white soup was soaked in the crystal-clear and tender meat. The golden light loomed, and the rich fragrance filled the air, whetting one's appetite.
The round copper cauldron looks small, but in fact the internal space is quite exaggerated. If the two of them want to work together to eat all the elixir ingredients inside, it will probably take a long time.
Ever since she showed off her natural ability in front of the Supreme Elders that day, Qin Muling had stayed at the Royal Dao Peak. All food and drink expenses were directly dealt with by Mu Yinghua. She could occupy her secret palace for retreat during practice. No matter what resources are needed, they can be met. It can be said that you get wind and rain when you need it.
What Qin Muling needs to do is very simple, that is, go around the designated medicine garden every day, and after practicing, he will be escorted back to Yudao Peak by the Supreme Elders.
In order to maintain strict confidentiality, Mu Yinghua only appointed Qi Yalan to play the role of a maid to take care of his junior brother's daily life. Otherwise, no one was allowed to have contact with him, and anyone who dared to disobey the order would be severely punished.
There are dozens of medicine gardens that Qin Muling needs to visit, all of which are filled with elixirs and herbs that have grown for nearly ten thousand years. Because the area is so large, the deacons at all levels, handymen, and outer disciples who are usually responsible for taking care of the gardens have to add more. There are up to millions of people, and there is no guarantee that some of them may be spies planted by certain forces.
For this reason, Mu Yinghua made a heavy move, gathering these deacon disciples together and imposing the most vicious curse restrictions on their souls. As long as they dared to reveal even a few words to the outside world, their souls would inevitably be destroyed and the gods would be unable to save them.
Within thirty years, they were not allowed to go out or have any contact with the outside world. Their place of residence was closely monitored. They were not allowed to set foot anywhere except the medicine garden, and they lived an isolated life.
Of course, they also received generous resource compensation, but they had to wait until the quarantine period expired before they could cash it out.
All this is to ensure Qin Muling's safety. After all, his innate ability is so shocking that once it reaches the ears of those high-level superpowers, the consequences will be absolutely catastrophic, so it must be kept secret at all costs.
"...Master wants me to live in Yudaofeng for a full year."
While Qin Muling ate happily, he said to his senior sister: "With my ability, I estimate that I can upgrade the elixirs and herbs in these medicine gardens to the level of holy medicines. By then, the sect will be able to use them for a long time." There will be no shortage of holy medicine resources.”
Qi Yalan smiled and said: "When the one year period is over, I should be able to stabilize the new realm, right? Junior brother, you will also receive a large amount of meritorious contributions, as well as an improvement in cultivation, which means there will be no delay on either side."
Qin Muling's eyes were deep: "These are all secondary. Master treats me without saying anything. After enjoying so many benefits from the sect, I have to give something in return. I hope that Yunmeng Tiangong can use this to cultivate more core disciples in the future. Come with the elders, and you no longer have to worry about lack of resources.”
Pills are one of the important foundations of cultivation civilization, and their significance is equivalent to the food and grass of mortals, and alchemy is inseparable from these elixirs and holy medicines, so they are the foundation that supports the practice system.
For any force, medicinal herbs are the most important strategic resources. The quantity and quality of medicinal herbs a sect can produce every year is related to how many disciples it cultivates and how many other resources it can exchange for it from the outside world, and directly It affects the overall strength of the sect.
After the decline of Yunmeng Heavenly Palace ten thousand years ago, due to the destruction of many important elixir resource production areas or falling into the hands of foreign enemies, many important elixir prescriptions could not be prepared, which directly led to the rapid progress of the disciples' cultivation. Decline, the impact on all aspects is difficult to describe.
Now with Qin Muling, Yunmeng Heavenly Palace's shortcomings in this area will be greatly compensated. The massive amount of holy medicines produced, whether for personal use or for trading, can bring huge profits to the sect.
