Primordial Era: The Holy Maiden Shiji, a woman of exceptional talent and beauty

"I heard that Lord Yan was in danger this time because spies sneaked into the palace to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor, which angered His Majesty and he sent people to encircle and suppress them. Among the servants in our mansion, does anyone know the names of those spies?"

"Don't talk nonsense. If the patrolling guards hear us, we will be in trouble."

"What are you afraid of? Lord Yan is not here."

Shiji frowned, the topic they were talking about seemed a little strange.

Yan Luo's father was the prime minister of the current dynasty, but Shiji did not remember this person.

Could he be the offspring of some old minister?
If it were those old ministers, why would they defect to Southern Xinjiang?

Shiji couldn't figure it out.

Suddenly, he heard a noisy sound in his ears, obviously someone had broken in.

However, the guards did not rush in, but instead flocked to Yan Luo's bedroom.

Shiji immediately realized that Yan Luo must have been poisoned.

"Don't touch me! Go away, go away!" a boy cried.

The voice was childish but with a hint of familiarity.

Shiji walked out of the room and saw a child of five or six years old struggling desperately.

Those eyes were actually red.

"How dare you! How dare you be rude to the young master? Someone, take him away and beat him to death!" the nanny shouted fiercely.

"Wait a minute!" Shiji stopped the guard, squatted down, pinched the child's chin, and looked at his face carefully.

This child looks quite similar to Yan Luo, except that his red eyes are particularly eye-catching.

Isn’t this the child of Yan Luo and Yan Luoluo?
Shiji suddenly realized that Yan Luoluo was in Yanluo City because they were not here at all!
"This young master's eyes..." Yan Luo said in surprise.

Shiji explained: "It should be some kind of secret technique of the demon race that changed the color."

"What should we do then?" Yan Luo asked anxiously.

Shiji said, "Don't touch him yet. Yanluo, this is the territory of Southern Xinjiang after all, you should withdraw your troops as soon as possible."

Yan Luo nodded, "Little brother, you are right. Thank you very much for this time. I promise you that I will repay your kindness after returning to the Northern Frontier."

"Then I'll have to trouble Lord Yama to take care of you. Goodbye!"

Shiji climbed over the wall and quickly disappeared into the night.

Yan Luoluo watched him leave and sighed softly.

He was smart and knew he wouldn't stay long, so he left without hesitation.

This is consistent with his character. How could he easily get himself into trouble?

She admitted that she was too impatient.

Shiji mounted his horse and rushed all the way back to the capital of Chu.

His original plan was to rush back to the Chu Imperial Mausoleum first and then slowly look for a way to detoxify.

But now it seems that I have to find someone to confirm some things immediately.

Shiji dismounted and walked into the restaurant, which was still bustling with people and business was booming.

He ordered a pot of osmanthus wine and a few side dishes, and drank quietly by himself.

"Have you heard? Someone sent a letter of challenge today, agreeing to have three competitions, and the winner will be the king."

"I heard that it was started by an upstart named Qin Wu."

"Isn't he the son-in-law of the Shi family? What about Master Shiji?"

"Hehe, they broke up a long time ago. Now Shiji is probably complaining to the King of Chu. But who exactly is this Qin Wu? How come I've never heard of him?"

"He is a descendant of the Nanman royal family."

The diners were talking about it, Shiji listened silently, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

The Shi family and the Qin family had a feud.

Shi Ji once secretly investigated Qin Wu, who had a complicated relationship with the Shi family.

But he didn't know what the grudge between them was.

"Qin Wu, how dare you challenge the prince? You really don't know your place!" A young man snorted coldly and said sarcastically.

"You useless bastard, what else can you do besides bullying others? The prince is too lazy to pay attention to you, you are just like a dog barking here."

Qin Wu glanced at him coldly, "I am the son-in-law of the Shi family, and you are the prince of Chu. If you have the guts, challenge me in a duel!"

"Huh? Do you deserve it?"

"Whether you are worthy or not is not something you can tell with words. If you have the guts, come and fight me!"

The two started arguing.

At this time, a young man in blue came in and said calmly:
"Shi Erlang, you can't be unable to defeat even one Qin Wu, right?"

"Of course I'm not afraid of him. But as the second son of the Shi family, how can I fight him alone? Wouldn't that bring shame to the Shi family?"

Shi Erlang pointed at the young man in blue and said, "Do you dare?"

A gleam flashed in the eyes of the young man in blue. "I don't dare. But I have someone to back me up. Do you have someone to back you up?"

Shi Erlang was so angry that he jumped up and down.

"Someone come! Drag this kid out!" Shi Erlang pointed at him and shouted angrily.

A group of guards rushed up.

He was about to capture the young man in blue.

Shi Ji suddenly reached out and pressed the guard's shoulder, and said to Shi Erlang, "No need to do that, I'm here to play with you."

The young man in blue seemed to know Shiji and asked in surprise, "Ninth Prince?"

"Do you know me?"

"Not only that, I also know your fiancée. If you want to marry her, you have to ask my parents for their consent."

Shiji's face suddenly darkened.

The young man in blue smiled and cupped his hands, "I'm sorry, I scared you. I didn't mean to expose your scar."

Shiji didn't want to pay attention to him, and walked straight to Shi Erlang and said, "Shi Erlang, I can play with you. But you have to show me your strength."

"What do you mean? Do you look down on me?" Shi Erlang's face was gloomy.

Shiji said calmly: "That's right."

These arrogant words almost drove Shi Erlang crazy.

"Do you really think you can act like a tyrant just because you defeated Qin Wu? Let me tell you, Qin Wu is nothing in front of me." Shi Erlang said aggressively.

Shiji nodded slightly, "Then let's make a bet. If you lose, I want you to help me find my sister. If I lose..."

He paused, his eyes determined, "I will help you seize power!"

"Okay!" Shi Erlang agreed without hesitation, "If I lose, you can do whatever you want to me. But if you lose, you have to marry Sister Yue obediently."

An ominous premonition arose in Shiji's heart.

He is not a fool.

Although I don’t know who Sister Yue is, she is definitely not a simple person.

"If you lose, stay away from me and never bother my sister again." Shiji stared at him and said.

Ishijiro laughed, "Deal!"

Shiji took a deep breath and looked at the jar of osmanthus wine on the table. "Let's see who can drink more."

Shi Jilang was stunned. "Are you crazy? This is three kilograms! Are you sure you can get drunk and continue?" "It's OK if I say it's OK."

Shijiro choked, but since he had decided to teach Shiji a lesson, he said, "Okay, let's give it a try!"

The diners in the tavern dispersed one after another, leaving only Shi Ji, Shi Erlang and another man in a brocade robe in the huge box.

The man in brocade robe had a handsome appearance, with a hint of arrogance between his brows.

"Are you Shiji? Do you know who I am?"

Shiji looked up at him and said calmly, "Isn't he just the son of some prince?"

His attitude is very arrogant.

But the man in brocade robes was not angry. He just sneered, "You are just a bastard. You have no right to know my identity. You just need to know that if I win tonight, you will leave the county mansion obediently and never harass the county again."

He is the eldest son of the Shi family and Shiji's elder brother.

"What if you lose?" Shiji asked back.

"Hmph, how could I lose!" Shiji's face darkened and his tone was firm.

The dispute between the two attracted the attention of everyone present, but no one stepped forward to stop it. After all, these two were not just ordinary Taoist friends arguing, their identities and status were too special.

One is the legitimate son of the Jade Emperor of Heaven, and the other is a disciple of the Three Pure Ones. This kind of relationship naturally makes people imagine and discuss it.

Taiyi Zhenren sneered: "You are so arrogant. If you lose, you will hand over all the treasures on you. How about that?"

Shi Ji raised his eyelids slightly when he heard this. Although his cultivation level has fallen and he has not even reached the Golden Core Realm, he has many tricks up his sleeve and will not give up easily.

"What? Are you scared? If you are scared, just admit defeat quickly to avoid physical pain." Taiyi Zhenren raised a smile.

"Hmph, if I lose, I will kowtow to you and apologize? You wish!" Shiji's eyes flickered and his tone was full of disdain.

However, before he could finish his words, a strong wind suddenly blew up, causing everyone's hair and clothes to fly everywhere, interrupting Shiji's words.

Countless thoughts suddenly occurred in everyone's mind, and they all turned their heads to look. They saw an old man wearing a gorgeous long gown with a black background and red clouds and a head full of white hair standing at the edge of the square. He seemed to be walking slowly, but in fact he was very fast, and he came close in a few steps.

"Greetings to Yuanshi Tianzun!" Everyone bowed and Nezha also bowed his head.

Shiji frowned, but did not dare to neglect him. This was Yuanshi Tianzun, an existence that was superior to the three thousand quasi-saints and the four great bodhisattvas.

What's more, he was seriously injured at the moment and couldn't compete with it at all.

"Are you the evil creature of the Shi family?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked indifferently.

Taiyi Zhenren nodded and bowed: "I am a descendant of the Shi family. I wonder if Yuanshi Tianzun has any advice for me?"

"Very good, in that case, you can follow me." After saying that, Yuanshi Tianzun reached out and grabbed Taiyi Zhenren's shoulder and pulled him away.

Shi Ji was startled and hurriedly chased after him: "Brother! Brother, wait for me!"

Nezha also ran out, while the other members of the Shi family stared blankly at the place where Yuanshi Tianzun disappeared.

"Alas, Yuanshi Tianzun is here in person, how can you resist at your young age?"

"Yeah, I'm afraid it's going to be troublesome this time."

"Is such a young person with unlimited potential going to be taken away?"

"Taiyi Zhenren, this troublemaker, actually offended Yuanshi Tianzun!" Some old guys cursed inwardly, and then hurried to the heaven to find Shiji.

As soon as Shiji returned to the cave, he saw many old acquaintances coming to him.

"Oh! It turns out to be Grandmaster Shiji. Congratulations to Grandmaster Shiji for achieving the Golden Elixir Path."

"The real person has finally come out of his retreat this time."

"Fellow Daoist Shiji, I heard that the child of the Shi family was captured by Yuanshi Tianzun. I wonder what the situation is like?"

"Alas, what else can I do? He was taken away. Didn't you see that even Yuanshi Tianzun personally took action?"

"Is it because you, Daoist Fellow Shiji, refused to participate in the Conferred God Battle?"

"Nonsense, I stopped participating in the Conferred God War three hundred thousand years ago."

"Then, fellow Daoist, do you know what Yuanshi Tianzun is going to do when he accepts a disciple?"

"I don't know the details, but I heard that Yuanshi Tianzun accepted a demon cultivator as his disciple."

"Ah?" Everyone was shocked. "Could it be that the child is a spy from the demon clan?"

Shiji shook her head: "I'm not sure about that."

When everyone heard this, they sighed, "This child has a tragic fate. First, he was plotted against by the Queen Mother of the West, and now he is suspected of being a spy of the demon clan. I hope he can wash away the stigma in the future and become a disciple of our Jiejiao."

Shiji had just sat down when suddenly several powerful auras descended, with surging energy and blood, and overwhelming power from all directions. It turned out that the major leaders of the Jiejiao had come to visit in person.

"Fellow Daoist Shiji."

"I've met all of you fellow Taoists."

"Yes. I heard that Yuanshi Tianzun accepted a disciple, so we came to congratulate you."

"Thank you."

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Shiji!"

For a moment, the entire Biyou Palace was bustling with activity. Everyone came to congratulate, and even a few old guys who were familiar with Shiji sent generous gifts.

"Huh? Why is that little girl gone?" As everyone was chatting, they suddenly realized that something was missing.

Shi Ji was startled when she heard this: "She? She should be playing in the Bixiao Palace."

"Could it be..." Someone suddenly showed a look of shock, "Could it be that this child..."

"Shut up and don't talk nonsense." Someone at the side coughed lightly, which immediately attracted everyone's fearful gazes.

"This matter involves our Jiejiao high-level officials, so it is not something we can discuss."

"Humph, that girl is too much."

Everyone thought about it and it was true. Although Chu Wan'er was the legitimate daughter of the Shi family and the apple of their eye, she was ultimately just a concubine's daughter.

No matter how noble you are, what does it have to do with them?
But it’s different for the high-ranking members of the Jiejiao sect. Once they are involved in this matter, they will be in great disaster!

Everyone has different thoughts.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Shiji. I heard that this time Yuanshi Tianzun is recruiting disciples for Yang Jian and Zhao Gongming?" someone asked.

"That's right." Shiji nodded.

"It is said that Yang Jian has achieved enlightenment... Is it related to you, Shiji?"

"Indeed, Yang Jian has already condensed his Nascent Soul, and his path to becoming a quasi-saint is just around the corner." Shiji responded.

"What about Zhao Gongming? How is he doing?" someone asked.

"Zhao Gongming's strength is also not to be underestimated, he is on par with Yang Jian." Shi Ji continued to introduce, "He is the successor of the Shushan Sword Sect and has an extraordinary status."

"This is strange. Is there any connection between Shushan and Chanjiao?" Everyone looked puzzled.

Shiji did not explain directly, but changed the subject: "Zhao Gongming is not a simple kid. We have two outstanding disciples in Jiejiao, but Shushan has three, one more than us."

"But it doesn't matter. Our Jie Sect is not weak. Moreover, Zhao Gongming has a kind personality and is quite compatible with our Jie Sect. Perhaps we can consider recruiting him into the sect."

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Shiji intends to let Zhao Gongming join Jiejiao?" An old man said in surprise, "Zhao Gongming is indeed talented and has a similar personality to us, so why not let him join the Biyou Palace."

In the Biyou Palace, nine peaks stood tall, one of which was the residence of Tongtian Patriarch. Apart from Tongtian Patriarch, the other eight were all cultivating on their respective peaks.

At this moment, many immortals gathered in the Biyou Palace.

Inside the hall, the boy served fragrant tea and then quietly left.

Shiji looked around at everyone and said, "My fellow disciples, what do you think about the matter of Yuanshi Tianzun's first disciple?"

"Yuanshi Tianzun has a unique vision. Among my disciples of Jiejiao, Taiyi Zhenren is the best in terms of talent. It's a pity that he was plotted against and fell into a calamity, so he had to be suppressed. Otherwise, with his talent and character, he would have become a great man in the future."
