It turns out, they were the main characters.

Yao Meng inadvertently observed the subtle expression on the Queen Mother of the West's face. Although this beautiful woman had cultivated for hundreds of years, there was not a trace of time on her body.

Her skin remained firm, and her well-maintained figure exuded a mature charm like a ripe peach, full and voluptuous, retaining her allure.

Leaving aside the Holy Maiden of Yaochi and that innocent and romantic girl Yao Xin, in this sacred land of Yaochi, the Queen Mother of Yaochi is already of the highest beauty.

With a calm look away, Yao Meng said in a composed tone, "What I said at the Liangyi Sect not long ago should be known to all the cultivators in the Eastern Continent. Now that he is my Daoist partner, I will marry him in a month."

As Yao Meng finished speaking, she smiled and looked at the Queen Mother of the West, asking, "Do you have any suggestions on this?"

The Queen Mother of the Jade Pool quickly regained her senses. After a moment's thought, she smiled gently and said, "The Holy Maiden's marriage is a sham; the real purpose is to set a trap for someone to fall into. However, I believe the Holy Maiden's feelings for Young Friend Mu are genuine, as Heaven and Earth can attest. Even if it's just a fake marriage, we can still make it real."

While a naturally formed furnace that can continuously advance is certainly tempting, as the Azure Emperor's Daoist partner, she can only suppress any distracting thoughts in her heart.

The Queen Mother of the Jade Pool quickly added with concern, "However, if the Holy Maiden truly intends to break free from the barriers of heaven and earth and achieve the supreme Dao fruit, she might attract many demons and monsters during her breakthrough."

The last time the Azure Emperor reassembled her immortal body, it attracted the decisive intervention of powerful Dao-Merging experts hidden in the shadows. If what the Azure Emperor said is true, that she has touched the threshold of the Feather Transformation Realm... would these old monsters in the Nine Provinces still tolerate her?

Even just glimpsing the gate to the Ascension Realm is enough to inspire fear.

The Dao Integration Realm cultivators of the Nine Provinces were living in peace until suddenly it was discovered that one of them had found a way to break free from the shackles of heaven and earth, transcend the rules of heaven and earth, and even planned to break through...

Even if the Azure Emperor declares that he has no intention of occupying other places, he will probably still be regarded as an enemy by some people.

When she breaks through to the Feather Transformation Realm in the future, the Jade Pool Holy Land will probably be in turmoil again...

Yao Meng parted her red lips slightly and said in a soft and calm voice, "I've seen demons and monsters before. This marriage is to get rid of some troubles in advance."

"Does the Holy Maiden intend to attempt ascension in the next few days?" the Queen Mother of Yaochi couldn't help but ask.

Yao Meng smiled but remained silent.

Although every inch of her skin radiated a sacred glow, and her smile was incredibly kind, for some reason, the Queen Mother of the West felt that this fairy was clearly dark inside...

"Compared to such trivial matters, I am more concerned about his ranking in the alchemy competition. Did Yao Yue mention it?" Yao Meng asked casually.

"Yao Yue's message came before the alchemy competition began, but if I remember correctly, young friend Mu doesn't seem to know anything about alchemy," said the Queen Mother of the Jade Pool.

“He doesn’t know anything about alchemy,” Yao Meng raised her eyebrows slightly and chuckled, covering her mouth. “However, he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.”

If Mu Zhian were to refine pills, he would not be able to actively use the spiritual energy of his innate furnace, but it should be noted that his own furnace also has the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Court.

Spiritual energy and elixirs are linked; if the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Court is used, the elixirs refined should not be too bad.

Based on her understanding of Mu Zhi'an, she knew he wouldn't participate in the alchemy competition unless he was confident.

"Alright, after the ceremony for preparing the formation is completed in the next few days, I will personally go to the Liangyi Sect."

Yao Meng smiled faintly: "I'll bring him back to get married then, and he'll act out a play with me."

However, if things turn out to be real... then it wouldn't matter.

……

The Two Elements Sect.

The Liangyi Sect seemed much quieter today. During the Ascension Ceremony, cultivators could be seen flying on their swords everywhere, but today, there were hardly any cultivators to be seen in front of the main peaks.

However, it wasn't because the Ascension Ceremony had ended; rather, all the cultivators had gathered near the alchemy platform on Canghai Peak.

There was a pavilion on each side of the alchemy platform, and at this moment the pavilions were full of cultivators, and even below the platform, there were many cultivators from ancient families.

While observing the alchemists on the stage, they whispered among themselves to their family elders, discussing which alchemist they valued.

Although Mu Zhian's alchemy skills are remarkable today, he is not within the consideration of the ancient aristocratic families.

After all, with the protection of the Azure Emperor and an ambiguous relationship with the Holy Maiden of the Forbidden Zone, it's easy to see that he wouldn't lack any resources, so naturally he wouldn't accept their invitation.

After giving Ye Lingxuan special spiritual energy, Mu Zhian stepped down from the alchemy platform and soon found Bai Ruoxi in a corner of the crowd.

Her face was gentle, and the white palace dress that suited her personality clung to her figure. Her hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, and a strand of black hair fell down and blew in the cold wind, adding to her delicate and fragile appearance that made people want to pity her at first glance.

"Mulang, your performance today was truly outstanding. Although you did not win the final competition, everyone was talking about you the most."

Looking at Mu Zhian walking towards them, Bai Ruoxi said with a light smile.

Her expression remained unchanged, as if Mu Zhian hadn't done anything at all.

However, this seemingly gentle voice sent chills down Mu Zhian's spine.

“The situation was urgent just now. If I hadn’t helped, Nigati might have succeeded.” Mu Zhian came up to Bai Ruoxi, reached out and tucked a stray strand of hair that had fallen across her forehead behind her ear, and said softly.

Bai Ruoxi nodded, looking obedient and smiling, "I know, I believe Mu Lang isn't the kind of person who likes to show off in front of so many people."

Mu Zhian was immediately moved.

As expected, he hadn't misjudged her; Ruoxi was indeed an understanding, considerate, and gentle girl.

"If he wasn't forced into it, Mu Lang would be intimate with Ling Xuan in private, but he certainly wouldn't do it in front of so many people," Bai Ruoxi added with a slight smile.

Mu Zhian: "..."

“He’s always been like this. Even if he’s intimate with a girl, he would never be so high-profile.” Wei Mengrou, who was watching from the side, glanced at Mu Zhian with disdain and added insult to injury.

Mu Zhian was unable to refute for a moment.

If we had to say something, Bai Ruoxi and Wei Mengrou both had a firm grasp on Mu Gongzi's personality, knowing that he wasn't the kind of person who would publicly be intimate with a girl in such a setting.

But if he's with a girl in private... then he won't be so timid.

Fortunately, Bai Ruoxi knew that this was not a suitable occasion to punish Mu Lang. She quickly raised her head and looked at the stage, saying softly, "Sister Lingxuan has indeed won."

Mu Zhian looked up and saw that all the cultivators on the stage had finished refining pills, and Ye Lingxuan had also passed the pill tribulation, presenting a flawless seventh-grade pill to the world.

It emitted a faint seven-colored glow, and its medicinal fragrance was extremely rich, even containing a very strong spiritual energy.

Although it had not been blessed by a natural furnace, the mere presence of celestial spiritual energy was enough to give it an incredibly enticing medicinal aroma.

"It seems that the outcome of this alchemy competition has already been decided."

At this moment, a magnificent and beautiful woman appeared in front of the alchemy platform.

"Senior Medicine King".

A respectful voice came from in front of the alchemy platform.

Luo Tan glanced around at everyone, then looked at the seventh-grade pill in Ye Lingxuan's hand with a smile and said, "Your control of spiritual energy is very exquisite, just as I expected at the beginning."

The first saintess in the forbidden zone to perfectly inherit the innate spiritual body constitution, her talent is indeed astonishing.

Among all the alchemists present, Ye Lingxuan's control over spiritual energy was the most exquisite, with not a single drop of spiritual energy being wasted.

This is especially important for alchemists.

"Thank you for your praise, senior." Ye Lingxuan bowed slightly to express her politeness.

Luo Tan gave a slight nod to the maid beside her, who immediately understood and respectfully said, "Miss Lingxuan, please come with me."

After saying that, he smiled politely at Nigati, who had won second place, and the alchemist who had won third place, and gestured for them to come with him to receive the rewards for the competition.

Nigati glared hatefully at Mu Zhian below the stage.

He always felt that Mu Zhian's kiss with the Holy Maiden of the Forbidden Zone was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. But Luo Tan hadn't said anything yet. If he were to question her now, wouldn't he be questioning Luo Tan's decision as well?

No matter what, we have no choice but to swallow this insult.

Meanwhile, Mu Zhian was comforting the two beauties beside him when he suddenly heard a maid's voice in his ear.

"Young Master Mu, His Majesty Luo Tan has invited you to Baohua Tower."

Baohua Tower is one of the pavilions near the alchemy platform.

Why did Luo Tan take the initiative to contact me? I haven't even taken the initiative to contact her yet... Mu Zhian quickly realized and nodded with a smile.

Then, he turned to the two beauties beside him and whispered, "Ruoxi, Mengrou, I have to go out for a while. We'll talk about the rest when we get back."

Regardless, we certainly can't let this opportunity to make contact slip by... After all, the difference between a three-tailed fox and a nine-tailed fox is enormous.

I must obtain the Tai Xu Pill, no matter what.

No matter the cost.

……

After making an excuse to slip away, Mu Zhian quickly sensed the special aura that Luo Tan was intentionally emitting in the noisy attic.

He ascended to the pavilion and soon met the Empress of Yuzhou, who had single-handedly created the Immortal Dynasty, in a private room.

She sat with her legs crossed, her elaborate white dress embroidered with gold and silver threads, and a luxurious, round, special jade pendant tied around her waist. Her black silk-clad legs, encased in flawless white boots, lightly touched the ground with a dazed, intermittent motion.

She was strikingly beautiful, possessed a noble and elegant demeanor, and exuded an indescribable sense of majesty.

"Young friend Mu, is your spiritual energy depleted?" Luo Tan asked with a light smile.

"It's nothing, it just consumed a little spiritual energy, it's nothing," Mu Zhian said with a smile, and sat down opposite Luo Tan at Luo Tan's gesture.

Luo Tan smiled and nodded: "Then I can rest assured."

Her face was already extremely beautiful, but she wore light makeup, with a touch of rosy blush at the corner of her eyes, her rosy lips slightly pursed, and a faint smile in her phoenix eyes, making her extremely alluring.

"I wonder what important matter you have to discuss with me today, senior?" Mu Zhian asked tentatively, his gaze lingering on her stunningly beautiful face for several moments.

"Logically speaking, Lingxuan should have been the winner today, but Nigati and Tang Sufei's performances were equally impressive..."

Luo Tan smiled and said, "I am indeed very interested in the Holy Maiden of the Forbidden Zone... but I am equally interested in you."

Mu Zhian hesitated and asked, "Your Majesty means...?"

"You're a smart person, so I won't keep you in suspense any longer."

With a smile, Luo Tan invited in a very sincere tone, "I wish to take you back to Yuzhou to cultivate for a few years. What do you think, young friend Mu?"

Mu Zhian had a vague idea of ​​what was going on. He secretly sized up the elegant and noble woman a few times and said calmly, "Why is she a junior...?"

Mu Zhian thought Luo Tan would express her appreciation for his talent in a reserved manner, but the next moment, Luo Tan's words made Mu Zhian pause in surprise.

"You are a natural furnace, and so am I."

Luo Tan paused for a moment: "As for your question about why I am interested in you...?"

Her slender, long fingertips gently traced the back of Mu Zhi'an's hand. She rested her chin on her hand, raised her eyes, and looked at Mu Zhi'an with a playful expression.

"What do you think?"
