So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Chapter 228 Mu Zhian's Sense of Crisis 5.5K (1/2)

Elixir tribulation, from the fifth-grade elixir onwards, every elixir refined will encounter an elixir tribulation.

In a sense, what kind of elixir an alchemist can refine is linked to the strength of its master.

Elixirs above the seventh grade need to be at least in the Return to Void Realm before they can be refined.

In the Liangyi Sect, there are many alchemists, but there are only a few who can refine seventh-grade elixirs or even higher.

And the person who refined the eighth-grade Return to Soul Pill this time is the head of the Daofeng of the Liangyi Sect, Yu Ziyan.

The vast calamity cloud spread throughout the Daofeng. On this day, people in the Daofeng were discussing this matter everywhere.

"Look at this calamity cloud, it is at least a seventh-grade elixir. When did the master get an imperial-level medicinal material... and what kind of elixir did she refine?" On this day, many disciples of the Daofeng whispered and discussed secretly.

"Junior Sister Lingxuan, do you know the truth?" At this time, a senior brother looked at Ye Lingxuan who had just arrived at the Daofeng.

Hearing this, many senior brothers and sisters also looked at Ye Lingxuan.

As for the identity and origin of this girl, many people still don't know it, but this does not prevent them from having a good impression of Ye Lingxuan.

Her appearance is one aspect, and her politeness and reserve in daily life is another major reason.

In Daofeng, there are many people who secretly admire Ye Lingxuan, and some of them are even female cultivators.

"Junior sister Lingxuan is the most loved by the master in daily life. Maybe this pill is made by her for junior sister?" A senior brother guessed with a smile.

Ye Lingxuan shook her head reservedly and smiled: "I don't know the specific situation."

After that, she found an excuse to say goodbye to everyone in Daofeng, and then went to the hall.

Yu Ziyan had been waiting in the hall. She was wearing a light Taoist robe and had a beautiful face. There was a bright red cinnabar on her forehead. As if she noticed the two sisters, she opened her eyes and said with a smile:

"I have never seen you so punctual when I asked you to come to me on weekdays, but you are punctual enough now."

"It seems that Mu Zhian is really important in your hearts." In her tone, there seemed to be some gentleness and teasing of a master to his disciples.

Ye Qian was thin-skinned and her pretty face blushed. She responded in a low voice: "I am just worried that Brother Mu's spiritual consciousness will have problems if it is delayed, so..."

"Okay, you don't have to explain to me, you can take this pill to him." Yu Ziyan said gently.

Her voice is very pleasant, and there is a magic that can calm people down no matter how anxious they are.

The two sisters who were uneasy because of Mu Zhian's affairs these days slowly calmed down under the influence of this voice.

"Qian'er, you stay here first. I have some questions for you." Yu Ziyan spoke again.

"Master, what's the matter?" Ye Qian asked.

"Don't worry, it won't take up much of your time." Yu Ziyan glared at the disciple unhappily. Ye Qian was usually very obedient, but now it was obvious that she wanted to see Mu Zhian earlier and was a little reluctant to stay.

Ye Qian nodded obediently.

Ye Lingxuan took the small wooden box that flew slowly from the lotus pond, and then said with a smile: "Master, I'll go to Tianhe Garden first."

After that, he bowed again to thank the master, and then said goodbye to his sister and his master, left Daofeng, and flew to Liuli Palace.

...

Tianhe Garden.

Mu Zhian had already woken up. He felt that his spiritual consciousness, which was a little thin in the past two days, seemed to have been nurtured. Now his whole body is warm and comfortable.

I just don't know why, but I feel a little tired...

Outside the house, the sun shines obliquely. In the quiet little garden, flowers, plants and trees are evergreen all year round. Beside the rippling pond, there stands a pavilion.

Mu Zhian is sitting in the pavilion, drinking tea made by the maid.

Although he died unexpectedly this time, it is not without benefits.

Let's not talk about the soul-returning pill. Secondly, it also makes Mu Zhian know how to cherish the people around him...and the people around him also treat him much better.

For example, this maid would not make tea for him in the past, but after this time, she finally did something that a maid would do, which made Mu Zhian a little moved and relieved.

The beautiful Bai Ruoxi was sitting not far away, wearing a clean white dress, with a white face, plump lips, and the hair hanging on her face also added a bit of messy and lazy beauty to her.

She looked at Mu Zhian with doubtful eyes, and then said softly: "Mulang's body seems to be weaker than before, but his spiritual consciousness seems to be nurtured. How did Senior Qingdi do it?"

Mu Zhian shook his head and said: "I was in a coma for two days, so I don't know much."

As he said that, he looked in the direction of a certain room.

Fairy Yao Meng is now in seclusion in that room, seemingly preparing for the upcoming Yuanshen Tribulation.

Bai Ruoxi stared at Mu Zhian's handsome profile. After a brief hesitation, his eyebrows relaxed quickly and he said softly: "Anyway, it's good that your body can recover."

Mu Zhian nodded gently.

In fact, he was still very fortunate about this matter.

The Turtle Breath Pill wrapped a wisp of his spiritual consciousness. It was understandable that the Return to Void Realm cultivator who attacked him at that time did not notice his spiritual consciousness.

But the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, and even Qingdi and others, did not notice his spiritual consciousness, which was a bit wrong.

It stands to reason that after a cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm dies, if he wants, his spiritual consciousness can detect it immediately.

Could it be that the Turtle Breath Pill can even hide it from Qingdi and others?

It is possible, but the probability is very small.

Mu Zhian has been thinking about it for the past two days, and the only word he can think of is one.

——Reborn.

Someone had already guessed that he would die, and before that, they seized the fortune of heaven and earth, renewed his soul for him, and shielded the secrets of heaven, so Qingdi and others did not detect his spiritual consciousness.

He didn't know who that person was.

But it can basically be determined that it was the girl he knew around him.

Because, so far, except for the first three initial titles, the rest of the titles he got were obtained because of his intimacy with the "protagonists".

However, who is this reborn...?

Mu Zhian looked at the personal interface that had just been opened and fell into deep thought.

First it was a reborn, and then it was blessed by heaven... Could it be Miss Linglong?

No, she is so cute, she can't hide any bad intentions. If she is a reborn person, she should have been exposed long ago...

"Brother Mu!"

At this time, Ye Lingxuan's crisp and pleasant voice suddenly came from the side, and it also brought Mu Zhian back to reality. He turned his head to look.

Ye Lingxuan, who was wearing a purple long skirt, had a round face and a quiet and elegant temperament. She was standing beside him at some point and handed him a delicate small wooden box in her hand.

"This is the Soul-Returning Pill. Master asked me to send it."

The Soul-Returning Pill, in a sense, has a similar effect to the Soul-Nourishing Pill. The former can restore the original only wisp of spiritual consciousness of others to a complete spiritual consciousness and slowly repair the damaged spiritual consciousness.

The latter can speed up the speed of warming and nourishing the spiritual consciousness.

With the Soul-Returning Pill, plus the Soul-Nourishing Pill that he got for free from the first generation of the Demon King, Mu Zhian's spiritual consciousness will be restored soon.

"Thank you for your hard work." Mu Zhian smiled gently and took the small wooden box.

During the period of Mu Zhian's 'death', the forbidden area was born to search for the traitor. Many people were speculating whether the forbidden area would make any big moves, but in fact, the forbidden area was born simply for Ye Lingxuan.

Now that Ye Lingxuan has inherited the legacy of the reincarnated queen, she is naturally valued by the forbidden area. When the future queen Ye speaks, the elders and beasts in the forbidden area will obey her orders, whether out of love for their own lady or other reasons.

Ye Lingxuan shook her head gently with a sweet smile: "It's not hard, I just went to Daofeng, but Brother Mu not only has to fight wits and courage with the enemy, but also has to make so many girls happy. Brother Mu is more tired."

Mu Zhian: "..."

"Lingxuan..."

"Brother Mu doesn't need to explain anything to me, I understand." Ye Lingxuan smiled lightly, and at the same time pressed the lock of the wild time that was about to move from her sleeves.

"Wait until Brother Mu recovers, then explain it to me slowly."

Mu Zhian looked at Ye Lingxuan's innocent and pitiful smile in the sun, and for some reason, he felt a chill in his heart.

He felt that the 'protagonist' seemed to be a little dangerous after growing up.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that someone seemed to be looking at him. He turned his head and saw Bai Ruoxi, who was wearing a beautiful plain white dress, with firm breasts and a thin waist, looking at him gently. Her cold temperament just matched the lilies in the courtyard. She had the fragility and purity of a young lady, and the charm and seduction of a young woman, which made it difficult to look away.

"What's wrong?" Bai Ruoxi blinked and asked with her head tilted, a strand of hair cascading down and resting on her delicate face.

"...It's okay." Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled, and he felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

It seems that after solving the problem of the first generation of demon king, we have to find time to appease the fishes...

It is nice to eat soft rice, but if you do not operate it properly one day, it will not be funny to be served by the heart lock, the wild time lock, etc.

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-feed', placement: 'Below Article Feed', target_type: 'mix' });

Time passed quickly, and two days passed unknowingly.

During these two days, Mu Zhian basically meditated and practiced in the room every day, refining two eighth-grade pills.

His originally damaged body repaired itself inexplicably during his coma a few days ago. Mu Zhian himself did not know what happened. He thought it should be something that the green skirt fairy did for him.

But she refused to tell him when Mu Zhian asked her later, so he didn't ask any more questions.

People should always leave some private space for others.

Two days later, a huge thunder tribulation hit Tianhe Garden where Mu Zhian was.

Mu Zhian's thunder tribulation of the third level of soul refining!

In just a few days, he jumped from the second level of soul refining to the third level of soul refining. If people from the outside world knew about it, they would probably be dumbfounded.

After all, such a speed of cultivation is really too evil.

Of course, if the cultivators from the outside world knew the truth, they would probably curse that it was a waste of natural resources!

If the eighth-grade pills are used by cultivators in the Return to Void Realm, it is very likely that they will comprehend a trace of the Dao rhyme. Not to mention entering the Enlightenment Realm, but at least they will be much stronger than cultivators of the same realm.

Nirvana Pill, Soul-Nourishing Pill and a Soul-Returning Pill, a total of three eighth-grade pills, except for the first one fed by the Fairy Qingqun, the others were eaten by Mu Zhian as beans.

The first Nirvana Pill strengthened his body, and the next two both warmed and strengthened his spiritual consciousness.

It can be said that Mu Zhian's strength improvement this time is not great, but the foundation has been thoroughly laid.

If it weren't for this accidental death, the Nirvana Pill would not be able to be used. Similarly, the effects of the Soul-Returning Pill and the Soul-Nourishing Pill would not be maximized.

It can be said that Mu Zhian's death this time was a blessing in disguise. With the help of three eighth-grade pills, his physique and spiritual consciousness are now comparable to the peak of the Spirit Refining, and his muscle strength is directly pulled to the maximum.

Boom!

In front of the Pilgrimage Hall, pink peach blossoms swayed in the wind. It was already approaching the cold winter, but the peach blossoms in the Pilgrimage Hall were still in full bloom.

The sky was filled with dark clouds and thunder roared.

At this moment, outside the Pilgrimage Hall, many scattered cultivators were watching the thunder tribulation.

Thunder tribulation was common for these sect disciples, so not many sect disciples were attracted by the thunder tribulation this time.

However, all the sect disciples who came to the Pilgrimage Hall and saw the thunder tribulation this time had dull eyes, even unbelievable.

"If I remember correctly, wasn't there a rumor a few days ago that the pastor brother was killed after leaving the sect? How come now..."

The news that Mu Zhian was attacked and killed a few days ago spread throughout the sect. According to the initial rumor, it was probably: this time, the two ancient families in Dongzhou secretly colluded with demon cultivators to attack Yaochi. In order to help the Green Emperor overcome the tribulation, Mu Zhian stood in front of Yaochi to resist the powerful enemy and eventually died in battle.

This news made many people in the sect stand in awe, and they had a new understanding of this pastor brother who had died in battle.

Originally, Mu Zhian had a good appearance, and there were many female cultivators in the sect who secretly admired him. However, the news of Mu Zhian's death in battle was spread from one person to another in the sect, and it had changed a bit.

In the eyes of some people, Mu Zhian has become a tragic figure who is upright and fearless of strong enemies.

However, now...

This tragic figure who should have died in battle is still alive, and is still jumping around in front of the pilgrimage temple to survive the tribulation?

If there is news in this world, the first hot search title is probably: #Mu Zhian tried his best#

#Let's not talk about Yaochi first, what are other ancient families doing? #

#Why don't other ancient families help? #

Then after discovering that Mu Zhian is not dead, the hot search is: #Former generation demon cultivator status#

#Mu Zhian is still alive! #

"If I remember correctly, when Pastor Brother left the sect, he seemed to have only cultivated the first level of spirit? It has been less than a month, and he has already cultivated the third level of spirit...?"

After a short silence, someone finally spoke up and broke the silence.

"And didn't they say that Pastor Brother was dead? How come he is..."

"Are there really ghosts in this world...?"

"Are you stupid? This is Liangyi Sect. Let's not talk about whether there are ghosts or not. Even if there are ghosts, can ghosts survive the tribulation?"

At this time, someone suddenly pointed to the woman in the pilgrimage hall and suddenly said, "By the way, do you see if there is anyone else in the pilgrimage hall?"

It stands to reason that you can't easily get close to others when they are undergoing the tribulation, because they may be involved in the thunder tribulation.

Just now, when Mu Zhian was undergoing the tribulation, the lightning was too dazzling, and everyone didn't notice it. It was not until the thunder tribulation disappeared that they found that there was actually a woman watching Mu Zhian's thunder tribulation at close range in the pilgrimage hall? !

Isn't she afraid of being involved? !

While everyone was thinking about this, Mu Zhian had already fallen from midair and came to the front of the fairy in the green skirt, whispering something beside her.

"From the looks of it, they seem to know each other?" Someone immediately saw the clue and said softly.

"This pastor brother is really good at seducing women." A senior brother sighed sincerely, and he was a little eager to ask Mu Zhian for advice on how to pursue girls.

Of course, there are also people who disdain it, thinking that cultivators should focus on cultivation. On this path of cultivation, feelings will only affect their cultivation speed.

But I still couldn't help but look at the fairy in the green skirt with an extraordinary temperament.

Even if it was just a back view, even from the soft figure, it can be judged that this woman is definitely a top beauty.

"The pastor brother is out." Someone suddenly said, seeing Mu Zhian flying away from the pilgrimage hall.

As if he had noticed the gazes of the outside world, Mu Zhian immediately raised his hands and clasped his fists, saying: "Hello, fellow brothers and sisters."

"Brother Pastor...are you a human or a ghost?" A timid sister asked cautiously.

"Of course I am a human. Don't you see the shadow on the ground? Can ghosts have shadows?" Mu Zhian smiled helplessly.

Then, he felt the faint horror behind him and continued: "My story is a bit long, let's talk about it next time. It's better for everyone to stay away from this place first, because someone here is about to pass the tribulation."

"Brother Pastor, you are joking. Even if it is a thunder tribulation of the Return to Void Realm, we will not be affected if we stand here. Don't worry too much." A senior brother smiled gently.

Boom!

As soon as the voice fell, the sunlight in the sky, which had been re-sprinkled because of the end of Mu Zhian's thunder tribulation, was covered by light-colored dark clouds again. Then, a roar that seemed to resound throughout Dongzhou resounded in front of the Pilgrimage Hall.

The laughter just now was silent for a while, and everyone was stunned, looking at the figure of the woman in green skirt in the air with doubt.

Under normal circumstances, even the thunder tribulation encountered by the immortals on land in the Return to Void Realm would not have such a terrifying aura...

"Could it be the Enlightenment Realm...?"

When someone mentioned this guess, another person shook his head and said, "The rules of heaven and earth now do not allow the Enlightenment Realm to appear. This should not be the Enlightenment Realm."

"Could it be the Hedao--"

It should have been a joke, but after the man finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, subconsciously raised his head to look at the fairy in the green skirt covered by the moonlight in the air, stared at the beautiful style, and after a short daze, almost blurted out.

"...Qingdi!"

Many people heard this and reacted almost instantly.

This is the Qingdi's soul tribulation!

This Qingdi fairy is the Qingdi? !

This guess flashed through the minds of all the disciples like a bolt from the blue, and then all the disciples tacitly stepped back.

The thunder tribulation of the Hedao realm, even if the Green Emperor can pay attention to control and not destroy everything in the Pilgrimage Hall, they are likely to be affected, and can only avoid it as much as possible.

However, why is Mu Zhian with the Green Emperor...?

At this moment, many disciples of the sect had strange thoughts in their hearts, but their eyes were always fixed on the fairy figure of the green skirt fairy, and both men and women had admiration in their eyes.

Mu Zhian retreated to a remote corner, also staring at the flawless fairy figure of the green skirt fairy.

There was no admiration in his eyes, just looking at her graceful figure set off by the strong wind, thinking about whether to suppress the fairy tonight.

At this moment, he suddenly felt like he was locked by something, and two paper cranes behind him flew silently towards him.

A letter from the senior sister...?

But... how did she know that I was in the Pilgrimage Hall?

Mu Zhian's eyes moved slightly, and he subconsciously reached out to take the two letters and opened them.

The contents of the envelopes also appeared in his field of vision.

The first one was from the elder sister of the sect leader, and basically asked him to go to Liangyi Peak right now.

And the other one... was not written by the elder sister, but by the sect leader.

Almost at the moment of opening the other paper crane, Mu Zhian felt a slight burning sensation in the mark of the demon world in his body.

...A letter from the queen of the demon world.
