"Then how is this possible?" Ju Er asked with a smile. "Unless it's an ancient divine beast, otherwise, even if its lifespan is long, it's impossible to live for tens of thousands of years. Maybe it's just an ordinary wild animal that was stained with the spiritual energy there and had a mutation, who knows?" He gently stroked Tiao Tiao's skin, "All creatures, whether plants or animals, are spirits of heaven and earth, and need to be cherished."

  Mo Zi Chen stuck out her tongue, and she found that under Ju Er's seemingly indifferent expression, he was actually hiding a heart full of sorrow. He seemed to cherish everything he saw with extra care.

  At this time, the fire in Dan furnace went out, and Ju Er invited her to visit the alchemy room. The room was about ten feet in diameter, with a floor paved with jade stones and walls inlaid with green jade. In the center of the room stood a large Dan furnace. Ju Er pointed at it and said: "This is the Dan furnace cast by our ancestors thousands of years ago. The fire will go out after 49 days, and when the flames turn nine times, the elixir can be taken out."

  "He let out a soft sigh: 'It's just a pity that over the years, the materials for refining medicine have gradually decreased, and not as many elixirs can be refined.'"

  Two people chatted casually, and within this cave, there was no distinction between day and night. Mo Zi Chen's cultivation had gradually increased, so he could go for several days without sleep or food. For a while, they forgot about the time, feeling very congenial, and as they talked, Mo Zi Chen suddenly remembered something and asked: "I have something to ask you, if you feel embarrassed, you don't have to answer, but don't lie to me, can I?"

  Ju Er nodded, and Mo Zi Chen asked: "Since I came here, I've always felt that everyone is strange, although no one has neglected me, but it's like they're all on guard against me. What's going on?"

  Ju Er thought for a moment, "Lin Shijie didn't tell you about this, maybe she wanted to wait until Qin Shixiong returns, it's not too late to talk about it then. Actually, it's not much of a secret, many cultivators on the Kunwu continent know that our Taohua lineage's sect master is also our six people's shifu, his secular surname is Cheng, his dharma name is Qingxuan, and he has already cultivated to the middle period of Yuanying. In the Jiuhua Xianzong, he is also one of the top two or three."

  Mo Zi Chen uttered an "oh", she had never met this Cheng Qing Xuan before, but from Ju Er's tone, it was clear that he held his master in high esteem, and not just because he was his own master.

  Can be refined into the yuan infant, and then promoted to a higher level, each level has a gap like the sky, between the yuan initial and the yuan middle, can be separated by an insurmountable chasm for eternity. Cheng Qingxuan was able to refine to the yuan middle, in the Kunwu's cultivation world, it is indeed considered to be a rare talent.

  "Master was invited by a friend several years ago and went to Trap Empty Mountain in the far north where Floating Clouds Return to the Sea."

  Mo Zi Chen let out an "ah" and was quite surprised.

  The place he mentioned, the Trapped Void Mountain, is an extremely mysterious place in this world. Legend has it that it was once one of the main battlefields of the Great Calamity of the Immortal Realm in ancient times. Many powerful cultivators from the Spiritual and Mortal Realms have fallen there. This place is always filled with thunder and lightning, rich in spiritual energy, but also extremely unstable. If one is not careful, they can be swept into the chaotic flow of spiritual energy and blown to smithereens.

  While the Empty Mountain is not just staying in one place, it's more like an island drifting in the four seas. The place where it is located is called Floating Clouds Returning to the Sea. This does not refer to a certain sea area, but rather being wrapped in a mysterious spirit, in the gaps between the continental plates of the nine states under heaven, drifting everywhere, going to places without any rules, no one knows when and where it will appear.

  "Master had a good friend who calculated the time and location of the appearance of the Trapped Void Mountain, and they went in to explore its secrets. At that time, Senior Sister and Qin were attending by his side. As for what exactly happened inside, none of us are clear. According to Lin, she followed Master to a cliff, where it was no longer possible for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage to enter. They waited there for 180 days until Master came out again, alone and severely injured, on the verge of death. He only managed to use his life-saving treasure to escape through the Floating Clouds Returning to the Sea gate, and Wang was responsible for receiving them outside. The three of them witnessed Master's final words, passed on the position of Sect Leader to Qin, and then Master passed away."

  Mo Zi Chen couldn't help but cover her mouth, she had seen the devastating divine power of the Yuan Ying cultivators in Ling Jing Shan, even if it were an ancient demon god, it would have been enough to resist them. What kind of dangerous place could make several Yuan Ying cultivators fall here?

  "But what does this have to do with my question just now?"

  Ju Erdao said, "Don't be impatient, I'll get to it soon. The three of them brought back the master's law body and suddenly appeared in the Xiaoyingzhou Daochang, where they took their seats after our fellow disciples paid their respects. However, for the Jiuhua Xianzong, there is also a rule that has been passed down through generations among the various major factions of Kunwu: when the gatekeeper wants to take over, he must have three classics from within the sect and hold the gatekeeper's token in his hand. This symbolizes the transmission of a sect's law."

  Mo Zi Chen nodded, seeming to understand but not really understanding. The little common sense she had about the cultivation world came from that jade slip, and as for what Ju Er said, it involved some deeper secrets that Mo Zi Chen was unaware of.

  "Speaking of the three classics of the sect, they are actually records of important events within our sect. Among them, there are three most important ones: one is a record of the spiritual elixirs, herbs and instruments used in our sect, known as the 'Elixir Classic'. The second is a book that records the secret techniques and skills of our sect, called the 'Technique Classic'."

  Mo Zi Chen nodded this time, the two classics that Ju Er said, are probably equivalent to the "family foundation" of those families in the secular world. Usually, when a family changes its head, the first thing to do is to check the accounts, review the property and so on, one by one, to continue the legacy. The law books of the sect are also the inheritance of the sect's magic, and are extremely important things in the immortal sect.

  "But these two are not as important as the last scripture. That scripture records the transmission of our sect from the ancestors to the present day, and is also known as the Golden Chapter Jade Book. The golden chapter is the token of the gatekeeper, while the jade book contains written records. Above that, there are secret matters that only the gatekeeper knows. These contents are all imprinted with a unique divine soul seal, and outsiders can't open it even if they see it. Every time a new disciple enters the sect, the gatekeeper must personally point to the register, use a golden pen to dot their name on it, in order to be considered an official disciple of our sect. Otherwise, even if you say it out loud, the major factions of Kunwu will not recognize it. If a sect does not have a Golden Chapter Jade Book, then it is not considered to have an orthodox transmission, and saying so would make people laugh."
