Shulong Daojun

Mu Qiushui felt her face and ears were slightly burning.

Unlike the previous instances where one was exposed to the fumes of alchemical fire during alchemy, this was more like what was described in alchemical texts—

Those who take the Yin-Yang Creation Pill will experience a spontaneous activation of their Qi, resulting in a surge of blood and Qi, and a flushed face and ears...

But I neither refined this pill nor took it, so how could this be?

strange.

Could it be that my master carries herbs with the same effects?

Thinking of this, Mu Qiushui's eyes shifted slightly as she glanced at Lin Shu out of the corner of her eye.

But apart from a neat Taoist robe, he had nothing else.

Therefore, he became even more puzzled.

Just then, she heard Lin Shu chuckle again, followed by some words:

"Junior sister was curious before about why there was a faint wood element aura surrounding senior brother?"

To be honest, it might be related to my senior brother's Dharma relatives.

His name is Qingmin, and he is a green dragon of the wood element in the east. He was born with the energy of both metal and wood elements and is currently serving as the land deity in Qingwu City.

My senior brother has always kept it by his side, that's probably why it's like this.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qiushui's gaze paused slightly, and she suddenly realized what was happening, followed by a hint of envy.

It wasn't that I was thinking about how precious the Azure Dragon was, but rather about my own path in alchemy.

Those who practice alchemy seize the creation of heaven and earth, but they must first follow the nature of plants and trees.

If the elixir is not cultivated, the elixir cauldron will remain empty.

Therefore, all disciples of the Tai Su lineage, regardless of whether they are from the main lineage or a branch lineage, are required to have some knowledge of alchemy and spiritual plant cultivation, and to be proficient in both.

Having a green dragon as a companion would undoubtedly be a great help in the cultivation of spiritual plants.

It is naturally associated with the wood element, and its breath can stimulate the root system of spiritual plants.

If the shed scales of a dragon are buried in the soil, the medicinal herbs can absorb the spiritual energy of the earth's veins several times faster.

Not to mention the dragon's saliva... it's simply an excellent natural treasure for cultivating spiritual herbs.

Upon realizing this, Mu Qiushui's eyes lit up, and she was very tempted.

But after thinking about something, he sighed inwardly and felt a surge of regret.

She looked up at Lin Shu and whispered, "Senior brother, you are truly blessed."

However, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you this time. I hope you'll forgive me, senior brother.

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes lowered, and the tips of her ears turned bright red.

Lin Shu knew that she couldn't force it, and after a slight disappointment, she composed herself and gave Mu Qiushui a faint smile.

Cultivators who follow the path of alchemy are highly sought after and are treated as honored guests wherever they go.

It's perfectly normal for him to be tempted by talent.

After all, if Qingwu City had a cultivator skilled in alchemy, the problems of food, drink, and daily necessities for the refugees, as well as the cultivation of Qingmin's wood element, would be easily solved.

It's a pity that I couldn't win him over even after three visits.

Lin Shu was lost in thought and did not notice that his gaze was fixed on Mu Qiushui, making her so embarrassed that she kept her head down.

Unable to bear it any longer, Mu Qiushui finally said in a muffled voice, "Senior brother... it's hot."

"Hmm? What did Junior Sister just say? Senior Brother didn't hear clearly," Lin Shu asked, coming back to his senses.

Mu Qiushui's crimson lips were slightly parted as she breathed softly until her face cooled slightly before she uttered in a soft voice, "No...nothing."

Before Lin Shu could react, he hurriedly added, "I wonder if Senior Brother can collect some of the dragon scales shed by the Azure Dragon?"

"Whenever Qiu Shui has free time in the future, she will come from Fu Yuan to Qing Wu City to find her senior brother and exchange some of the pills she has refined for him."

After saying that, she struggled to lift her eyes, looking directly at Lin Shu, and asked expectantly, "Senior brother, is it alright?"

Fu Yuan? Lin Shu frowned slightly, glanced at Mu Qiushui, and did not answer immediately.

He pondered for a moment, recalling his original intention in teaching her, and tentatively asked, "Junior Sister, is it because you need to stay in Fuyuan to manage the earth's veins and accumulate merit that you are unable to stay in Qingwu City for a few days?"

Mu Qiushui's eyes widened in surprise, not expecting Lin Shu to have guessed what she was thinking, and she felt a little embarrassed.

He rubbed his fingers together for a moment before nodding slightly and saying, "Yes..."

Lin Shu smiled knowingly and said, "If I have a way to help my junior sister accumulate merit in Qingwu City, would you be willing to stay with me for a while?"

"Huh? Senior brother?" Mu Qiushui tilted her head.

Lin Shu pointed to himself and continued, "Senior brother is currently a righteous god of a city and has the power of recommendation."

If my junior sister comes to my Qingwu City, I will recommend you to Heaven and Earth as a righteous god under my jurisdiction, to serve as a land god or a mountain god, and to protect the land.

Once the earth's veins are unblocked and the people are healthy and prosperous, the heavens will reward you with virtuous deeds, and you will receive blessings from heaven and earth.

After saying that, he met Mu Qiushui's eyes and changed the subject, saying softly, "However, accumulating merit using this method will be slightly inferior to sorting out the earth's veins here."

After all, the land under my jurisdiction is very peaceful, without any major troubles, and the earth's veins are stable.

Fortunately, one can achieve both the Azure Dragon and worldly success. I wonder if Junior Sister would be willing to come?

Having said that, Lin Shu wore a smiling expression.

Mu Qiushui blushed, her eyes filled with excitement.

"Azure Dragon! With its help, I will surely be able to plant all kinds of spiritual herbs and refine all the formulas in the alchemy manual."

One can also disregard the loss of medicinal herbs and adjust the effects of the pills according to one's own wishes.

Waaah—Brother Lin is such a kind person.

but.

"Senior brother, will this cause you any trouble?"

Mu Qiushui dared not raise her head, and whimpered, saying, "I... I am only good at alchemy, not at weapon crafting, let alone Taoist arts or demon exorcism."

I'm afraid it will hold my senior brother back and affect his achievements during his tenure..."

Before he could finish speaking, his voice grew softer and softer until it was barely audible.

Lin Shu waved his hand gently, smiled confidently, and said, "It's alright, Junior Sister just needs to focus on refining pills."

As for the rest, your senior brother will help you and teach you, so there's no need to worry.

"Senior brother~" Mu Qiushui called out, smiling brightly, "Then I'm sorry to bother you."

Lin Shu also smiled and said, "It's nothing, Junior Sister, you're too kind."

It has been almost half a month since I arrived at Fuyuan. I came with a dragon and a person, and I thought I would be alone when I left. Unexpectedly, I have formed a good relationship with them.

It was definitely worth the trip.

However, there's still one thing missing.

Lin Shu sensed the situation in his dantian and felt a little heavy-hearted.

The nourishing power brought by the feedback from Zhuyin is gradually growing stronger and more surging, indicating that his cultivation is growing rapidly.

The day of transformation into a dragon is approaching; we await it with certainty.

It is also a time when storms are brewing.

......

Shouzheng and the other two were also aware of this, and they all sat upright in the Zhengmai Hall, their brows furrowed, remaining silent for a moment.

The muddy whale trapped them for a few breaths with its muddy waves, and because they were wary of the unknown being, they hesitated for a few more breaths before letting it escape.

This could lead to endless troubles in the future, which is truly terrible.

What's worse, though, is the identity of those earth immortals who intervened?

It was a play orchestrated by the demonic sects themselves, hoping to use the Taoist sects to purge the evil spirits in this area and achieve some ulterior motive.

Or are they really colluding with evil spirits?

Either way, it's a bad thing.

After a long silence, Shouzheng suddenly spoke up and asked, "What do you two think?"
