Chapter 264 Senior Ye’s Mission
Ye Changsheng asked Mu Peiling to collect those elixirs in preparation for alchemy.
He would be staying here for half a year, so he could use the power of Luoyun Sect to collect the ingredients for refining the pills.
It just so happens that the Yunmeng Mountains are also one of the famous spiritual medicine production sites in Tiannan, and he should be able to find many of the spiritual medicines he needs here.
After getting the book on elixirs from Master Mulong, Ye Changsheng was extremely attracted by the several ancient elixirs recorded in it.
For this kind of ancient elixir, the recipe requires the spiritual medicine to be seven to eight thousand years old, or even ten thousand years old.
There is no doubt that this level of elixir is much more effective than the elixir recorded in the recipe that Ye Changsheng collected from the Chaos Star Sea before.
The better the quality of the elixir, the more benefits it will bring to his cultivation.
If he could refine these pills, his cultivation speed would definitely be accelerated.
At that time, combined with the training environment created by the Spirit Eye Tree, the speed of training will increase by leaps and bounds.
"By the way, I can also refine the Bingmeng Pill. This kind of pill that can resist inner demons, and leave it to Senior Sister Chen and the others for their Nascent Soul breakthrough in the future, it should be able to play a big role!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
He planned to refine several kinds of elixirs in one go within the next six months, and then go into seclusion for a few decades.
After receiving Ye Changsheng's instructions, Mu Peiling took the jade slip and flew towards his cave.
The jade slip recorded hundreds of kinds of spiritual medicines, but Mu Peiling could recognize less than half of them.
Among these half, there were several species that she had planted in her own cave.
So she planned to collect these first. As for the rest, there should be quite a few that can be found in the Luoyun Sect’s medicine garden.
As for those elixirs that she didn't recognize, she was helpless and could only go to her master for help.
Thinking of the medicine garden, Mu Peiling immediately thought of Han Li, the Qi Refining disciple who had just joined the Luoyun Sect not long ago.
The master arranged for her to be in charge of this boy. When Mu Peiling asked Han Li to choose a task, Han Li showed an extraordinary familiarity with spiritual medicines.
So she sent Han Li to take care of the medicine garden.
"Maybe I can let this person take a look!" Mu Peiling thought to herself.
After returning to the cave, she immediately put the spiritual medicines into jade boxes, put them away, and then went to the medicine garden where Han Li was.
"Junior Brother Han, how many of the spiritual medicines here do you know?" Mu Peiling found Han Li, briefly explained the purpose of the visit, and then handed the jade slip to him and asked.
Han Li took the jade slip, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and immediately a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
Based on his understanding of alchemy and various spiritual medicines, he knew that the various spiritual medicines recorded in this jade slip were most likely used to refine some Nascent Soul level elixir.
"Mu Peiling just went to Tianquan Pavilion and started collecting spiritual medicines after returning. This..." Han Li showed a strange look on his face.
He always felt that this operation was like déjà vu, as if he had done something like this before.
"Could it be that the person living in Tianquan Pavilion is really Uncle Ye?" Han Li muttered to himself .
Seeing that Mu Peiling was waiting for his answer, Han Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Except for a few dozen of these spiritual herbs, I know all the rest!"
Mu Peiling showed surprise when she heard that. She looked at him, thought about it, and immediately took out a blank jade slip.
Putting the jade slip on her forehead, Mu Peiling engraved all the spiritual medicines that she was not familiar with on the jade slip.
Then he said: "In that case, Junior Brother Han, I will give you a task. You will be the one to collect these spiritual medicines!"
As she spoke, she handed the jade slip to Han Li, and then said: "If the spirit stones are not enough, you can go to the headmaster to withdraw them. If you encounter any trouble in the process of purchasing spiritual medicine, you can say that this is a task assigned by the Yuanying ancestor!"
"As many types as you can find, no matter what the final result is, I will give you a certain reward!" Mu Peiling said, taking out several bottles of elixirs that can be used in the Qi Refining Stage and a mid-level magic weapon.
This is her reward. If a true Qi-refining disciple sees these things, he will indeed be ecstatic.
Looking at the reward, Han Li was speechless.
"Uncle-master, I just came to Luoyun Sect and am not familiar with everything here..." Han Li did not want to waste time doing this, so his words hinted at a refusal.
But Mu Peiling's next words immediately interrupted his refusal: "I have told you before who lives in Tianquan Pavilion at the top of the mountain, right?"
"These are all the tasks assigned by that senior!"
"All right!"
Han Li sighed helplessly in his heart. He knew how important the mission of the two seniors in Tianquan Pavilion was to the disciples of Luoyun Sect.
He couldn't refuse this!!
He didn't want to get into trouble after sneaking into Luoyun Sect. Since he had even helped those Qi Refining disciples capture the Snow Cloud Fox before, there was nothing wrong with looking for some elixirs.
I just hope I don't waste too much of my time.
Han Li sighed in his heart, put away the jade slip, and then turned back to the medicine garden.
Mu Peiling also took the jade slip that Ye Changsheng had given her and went looking for the elixirs she knew.
A month later, Mu Peiling appeared again in front of Tianquan Pavilion where Ye Changsheng and Nangong Wan lived.
"Senior Ye, we have only found one third of the elixirs recorded in the jade slips. The rest have not been found!" Mu Peiling said with a hint of apology.
She still underestimated the difficulty of finding the spiritual medicines listed by Ye Changsheng. Whether she knew them or not, she only found a small part of them.
In the end, they even mobilized the entire Luoyun Sect and asked about the silver-haired old man, but they only found one third of it.
“One third? That’s pretty good. You from the Luoyun Sect have really done your best!” Ye Changsheng said with some surprise.
It took only one month to find one third of the spiritual medicines, which shows that the Luoyun Sect must have put in a lot of effort.
With a sweep of his spiritual sense, Ye Changsheng discovered that the elixirs in this storage bag already contained all the medicinal materials needed for the two ancient elixirs.
He thought for a moment, took out a bunch of jade bottles from his storage bag, put them into a storage bag, handed them to Mu Peiling and said, "Take these pills!"
"There are several bottles of elixirs in there that can help foundation-building cultivators improve their magic power and achieve a quick breakthrough!"
When Mu Peiling heard this, she was immediately overjoyed. There was no doubt that those bottles of elixirs that could be used by foundation-building cultivators were for her.
With the reward from this Nascent Soul cultivator, she will surely be able to cultivate faster in the future.
She scanned the storage bag with her spiritual sense and found that in addition to the bottles of pills given to her, there were some other things.
Mu Peiling immediately understood that these pills should be given to other people in Luoyun Sect.
After all, in order to help Ye Changsheng collect these elixirs, Luo Yun Sect spent a lot of manpower and resources, and a few bottles of foundation-building pills would definitely not be enough to repay them.
"This senior is indeed very generous. All his efforts during this period of time have not been wasted!" Mu Peiling thought to himself.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind, and then she thought that after returning, she must look more carefully for the elixirs arranged by her seniors.
After sending Mu Peiling away, Ye Changsheng returned to the attic and began to copy the green liquid to cultivate these spiritual medicines.
Then, he started refining the elixir and made both kinds of elixirs.
After Mu Peiling left the attic where Ye Changsheng lived, she immediately took out several bottles of pills that belonged to her from the storage bag.
Then she handed the rest to her master. After walking out of her master's cave, she was about to continue helping Ye Changsheng collect pills. Suddenly, a green light flew down diagonally from the sky in front of her, blocking her escape light and stopping her.
"Junior Sister Mu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I wonder what you have been busy with recently. I have sent countless sound transmission notes, but why didn't you reply to any of them?"
As the voice sounded, a monk with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks appeared in the green light opposite, and he looked to be in his thirties.
When Mu Peiling saw this person, his expression changed slightly, but then darkened, and he immediately said, "Mr. Yan, I am following the orders of the Peak Master. Do you dare to stop me?"
"Hehe, Junior Sister Mu, you are too kind. How dare I do this? I just want to ask you, Junior Sister, have you received your father's letter? Look, the elders of our two families have agreed to our marriage. Shouldn't we discuss a date?"
The monk named Yan said with a smile, while looking at the woman's plump body and beautiful face greedily.
When Mu Peiling heard this, a trace of disgust flashed across her eyes. She shouted with a cold face, "What are you dreaming about? When did I ever agree to practice dual cultivation with you?"
When the monk surnamed Yan heard this, he still had a smiling expression on his face and said nonchalantly:
"Junior Sister Mu, this is something your father and the elders of your Mu family have agreed to. Do you want to rebel against your family? You'd better accept your fate as soon as possible. I know that you are arrogant and look down on me!"
"But it doesn't matter. As long as you marry me, I will make you obedient sooner or later over time, hehe!" The cultivator named Yan looked at Mu Peiling unscrupulously and said.
Upon hearing this, Mu Pei's delicate body trembled slightly, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.
She was able to cultivate to her current level only because of her family's support. She has long been deeply bound to the family and cannot break away from it at all.
At the same time, it is difficult for them to rebel against their family. It can be said that this is the fate of children from immortal cultivation families like them.
In order to let his grandson marry the unruly girl from the Yan family, the head of the Mu family actually resorted to the marriage exchange trick and forced her into such a ridiculous marriage.
This was completely treating her as a victim, and what was even more ridiculous was that all the elders in the clan agreed to the marriage.
This made Mu Peiling feel extremely sad. She could not resist this marriage. If she fell out with the elders, not only would the family cut off all supply of spirit stones to her in the future, but it would also implicate several of her closest relatives in the family.
Although she was well-liked by her master and fellow disciples in Luoyun Sect, these people were reluctant to interfere when it came to the complicated interests of their respective families.
Her master, as a Jindan cultivator, was still at a loss when faced with such a thing.
This made Mu Peiling very depressed. If she were a Jindan cultivator, those so-called "elders" in the family would definitely not dare to tell her what to do.
On the contrary, they would be very respectful to her. After all, everyone knew exactly what a Jindan stage cultivator meant to the family.
However, even though she was extremely talented, it was simply wishful thinking for her to form a golden elixir in a short period of time.
Even though she worked so hard, she had only entered the foundation-building stage for a few years. She wasn't even in the middle stage , let alone the Jindan stage.
When she thought of these things, Mu Peiling gritted her teeth in anger. She has always been a strong-willed person. Although she usually appears to not care about this engagement at all, how confused and helpless she is in her heart, how many people know?
Seeing Mu Peiling's gloomy expression, the cultivator named Yan became more and more proud, looking at Mu Peiling with extremely greedy eyes.
He chuckled and flew forward, approaching Mu Peiling, with a burning look in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had no good ideas.
"Junior Sister Mu, you should just accept your fate. If you follow me, you will definitely not suffer any loss!"
As the monk named Yan spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull Mu Peiling's hand and actually started to make moves on her.
"Get lost!"
Mu Peiling's face suddenly became indescribably cold, as if covered with frost. She shouted fiercely, and immediately frightened the monk named Yan so much that he trembled all over.
When the monk named Yan saw that Mu Peiling was about to take out a magic weapon, he was so scared that he flew backwards and dared not approach her again.
Mu Peiling struggled for a moment, but finally she hardened her heart and said coldly: "Mr. Yan, I might as well make it clear today!"
"Do you know what kind of distinguished guest has moved into Tianquan Pavilion of our Tianquan Peak? Let me tell you, I, Mu Peiling, am now serving those two seniors in Tianquan Pavilion. I have been favored by the senior named Ye, and he may take me as his concubine in the future. So you should just give up on this idea!"
Mu Peiling's words immediately made the monk surnamed Yan pale. He shouted in horror, "How is this possible?"
"Humph, how is that impossible? It was precisely because I didn't want to marry you that I took the initiative to ask my master to go to Tianquan Pavilion to serve those two seniors!"
"I would rather be someone's concubine or a cauldron than marry you!" Mu Peiling said with disgust on her face.
"You..." When the monk named Yan heard this, his face was filled with anger. He did not expect Mu Peiling's attitude to be so decisive.
"Now, I have to do something for those two seniors. Do you still want to block me here?" Mu Peiling said coldly.
Upon hearing this, the cultivator named Yan looked at her with resentment and unwillingness on his face, but when he thought of the reputation of the Nascent Soul cultivator, he finally flew away in shame.
Seeing this person leave, Mu Peiling's forced coldness and arrogance suddenly faded, and he looked somewhat sad and weak.
After standing in the air for a while, Mu Peiling turned around and flew up the mountain and came to Tianquan Pavilion.
