Until this moment, Bai Rou felt more and more that something was wrong, because she realized that her own sect was several times larger than before.
She then recalled something that she had neglected due to her sadness: in this area of thousands of miles, as she traveled along the way, other sects seemed to have disappeared.
In the cave, Bai Rou withdrew her thoughts and thought about how this old ancestor who had suddenly returned could actually meet Junior Brother Li Yan.
Moreover, the old ancestor "snatched" the ancient ape puppet back from Li Yan, and after learning about her situation, she used this trick to trick her back. She felt that all this was a bit bizarre.
"Girl, are you thinking about love again?"
At this moment, a seductive voice came over. Bai Rou's pretty face flushed and she quickly stood up and said.
"Old... Old Ancestor, what are you saying?"
At her side, a blurry figure slowly appeared, silently.
Although the figure was blurry, it was still possible to see that it was a charming girl in a purple dress. If Li Yan were here, he would be able to recognize her at a glance. She was the Nascent Soul cultivator - Shuang Qingqing.
"Hehehe, I think your Junior Brother Li Yan is pretty good, that little guy has a lot of secrets, and his strength far exceeds that of his peers.
Well, although he is a little ugly, a monk is all about strength, and he is much younger than you..."
As soon as Bai Rou stood up, she heard these words and her face turned red with shame. She hurriedly said
"Grandmaster, you... you shouldn't joke with me. I've only met him a few times, and... and, he's not as ugly as you say. It's just that you've seen countless people, and he's just like everyone else."
"He looks ordinary, just like everyone else. Why did you give my ancestor, the Thousand Luo Ancient Ape, to him when there are so many cultivators in the world?"
Shuang Qingqing clearly knew the reason, but she still said it deliberately with her beautiful eyes looking around.
"Ancestor, when can you...when can your real body come out of seclusion?"
Bai Rou knew that this old ancestor never played by the rules and often appeared out of nowhere, just like today when he quietly appeared beside her, so she had to quickly change the subject.
Shuang Qingqing knew that this disciple had a weak character and was very thin-skinned, but he was extremely intelligent and she liked him very much.
Besides, she had something else to talk about today, so he stopped joking.
Shuang Qingqing had only returned to the Muliu Sect more than half a year ago. According to her level of cultivation, even if she was just a remnant soul, as long as she had the Thousand Luo Ancient Ape in her hand, she would not have to worry about anything unless she encountered a Nascent Soul cultivator.
But she had another important matter that needed to be resolved urgently, that is, she had been looking for a body all the way back, a body that matched her soul.
It was not until more than half a year later that she finally found a body that was suitable. Even though she was still not completely satisfied, she knew it was not right for her soul to wander around like this.
He knew that his Nascent Soul aura would be sensed by other Nascent Soul cultivators sooner or later, and he would be in danger then, so he captured the female cultivator and then found the Muliu Gate according to the approximate location described by Li Yan.
In the world of immortal cultivation, it is taboo for ordinary cultivators to take over other people's bodies, as it goes against natural ethics. However, when one reaches Shuang Qingqing's level, there will be no more scruples at all.
As long as she has the body she likes, she doesn't care whether others are dead or alive. Shuang Qingqing's return caused a huge shock throughout the Muliu Sect. No one expected that the former ancestor of the Muliu Sect was still alive.
Next, Shuang Qingqing went directly to the back mountain and selected a cave, and began to work on taking over the body. This female cultivator's body was only in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. With Shuang Qingqing's means and experience, she was not worried at all whether she could succeed in taking over the body.
Moreover, at the same time, she also separated a part of her soul to handle the affairs of the sect. On her way back, she inquired about a lot of information about the current situation of the "Muliu Sect".
From this, we can see that the former Grand Elder of Muliu Sect was very thoughtful. The first thing she did was to drive out all the sects within a radius of 3,000 miles.
If she hadn't been concerned that she only had a trace of her soul to control the Thousand Luo Ancient Ape, she might have directly wiped out the entire family.
Anyway, even if a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Wuliang Sect came, they would not offend a Nascent Soul cultivator because of these small sects.
But after all, things are not as good as they used to be. She could only kill a few people hastily and force the other party away with the power of deterrence.
Next, they planned to send Bai Rou back to the sect, and the result surprised both sides.
What surprised Bai Rou was that not only was her master fine, but a mysterious ancestor appeared out of nowhere in the Muliu Sect. However, Bai Rou has always had a gentle personality, so she was not angry and followed her master's arrangements in everything.
Shuang Qingqing was surprised at Bai Rou's talent in refining equipment, which was almost the same as her own. If Muliu Sect could have a few more disciples like her, it should have been able to survive even after that war.
Next, Shuang Qingqing's soul began to personally teach Bai Rou skills. These skills had been lost in the Muliu Sect for a long time, and many of them were gained from Shuang Qingqing's own experience. This is a unique inheritance.
Of course, Shuang Qingqing is such an intelligent person that she would not tie all her hopes on one thing. She would also give some pointers to the elders in the sect on their cultivation problems.
She also re-recorded some of the secrets she knew on the jade slips, which made up for the lost books that were once treasured in the sect. Then she personally placed restrictions on these jade slips, which were kept by the current sect leader. She also gave the token to open the secret restriction to the current sect leader. In the future, as long as there are disciples who meet the corresponding conditions, the sect leader will decide to teach them the corresponding skills and immortal arts, as well as the secrets of refining weapons.
As for the current "Grand Elder" of Muliu Sect, after the return of the former Grand Elder, he no longer dared to call himself "Grand Elder" and had already gone into seclusion to practice hard.
For a time, the Muliu Sect was thriving, especially the sect leaders and elders with the highest cultivation levels, who were not all mediocre.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to successfully build their foundation in such a dire situation of the Muliu Sect, where they had almost lost their normal cultivation resources.
With the emergence of Muliu Sect's once advanced skills, and with Muliu Sect's survival now guaranteed to a certain extent, their cultivation had an extremely rapid burst in a short period of time.
"It takes at least three to five years, or even ten years, for the body to be compatible after taking over another body. What's going on? Your so-called Golden Elixir Master from the Wuliang Sect has sent you a message to go back
Humph, when I come out of seclusion, I will meet your master!"
Shuang Qingqing understood the meaning behind Bai Rou's words. It had been three months since Bai Rou came back, and the other party was actually urging her to go back.
Bai Rou was immediately shocked when she heard this. Normally, this old ancestor of hers never made any distinction between senior and junior when talking to her, but his temper was unpredictable.
Just last month, I heard from an elder in the sect that a family of immortal cultivators came to buy puppets, and they pushed the price down to a very low level just like before, and they acted arrogant and condescending.
Shuang Qingqing didn't care about her status at all and immediately turned against these juniors.
This kind of thing was very normal in the past years for the "Muliu Sect". The "Muliu Sect" did not have a strong military force to protect itself, and could only painstakingly refine batches of puppets and then sell them at low prices in exchange for a small amount of training resources.
The weapon-making skills of the "Muliu Sect" are quite strong, and no sect within a thousand miles can surpass them. There are even many sects that have long wanted to annex the Muliu Sect.
There are only a few largest forces, and their foundations are not much different. None of them has the ability to take over the "Muliu Gate" alone, which is why the "Muliu Gate" has survived.
But the result was a "step-like" effect, where these sects, from strong to weak, from many to few, exploited the "Muliu Sect" layer by layer. In the end, the price of each puppet that the Muliu Sect had painstakingly refined was almost the same as giving it away for free.
But the "Mu Liu Men" could only be angry but not speak out, let alone leave this place easily. Other places might not even have such a delicate balance, and would swallow the "Mu Liu Men" in one bite, leaving nothing behind.
The immortal cultivation family that came this time lived quite far away from here, and might not have figured out what had happened recently, so they still came in as swaggeringly as before.
Then he asked for fifty second-level puppets, and required that they be delivered within one year, and there was only less than 60,000 spirit stones.
After removing the refining materials and consumed spirit stones from these puppets, the Muliu Sect could only earn two thousand low-level spirit stones at most if they did nothing in a year.
These spirit stones are far from enough for the training and expenses of dozens of people even for a third-level sect, and are undoubtedly tantamount to robbery.
It's just that the leader and elders of the "Muliu Sect" have been accustomed to swallowing their anger for so many years, and for a moment they just wanted to discuss it with each other when the time comes.
Shuang Qingqing's spirit was always patrolling the surroundings. When she saw this scene, she was so angry that her eyebrows raised. Without saying a word, she went out and killed the five people from this family in an instant.
Then he severely reprimanded the disciples of "Muliu Sect" and others, and scolded the sect leader and two elders so badly that they dared not even breathe a word.
Then, Shuang Qingqing rode the Qianluo Ancient Ape directly to the gate of this immortal cultivation family and killed the family's Jindan ancestor on the spot.
She was still worried about making too much noise and not being able to clean up, so she spent a huge amount of spirit stones, training equipment, and a large number of pills before she gave up and went home.
As a result, the Muliu Sect became even more notorious in this area, and all the larger sects and families knew that the Muliu Sect had changed.
Bai Rou had only heard about the old ancestor's killing spree and driving away all the immortal sects within a radius of thousands of miles, but she had experienced this incident personally.
Because Shuang Qingqing kept her with her when she fought her way out of the cave and all the way to the immortal family, in Shuang Qingqing's words.
"Mu Liu Men, you are taking the path of puppet killings, for no reason. Who asked you to run a good business? If something like this happens again, I will personally turn you into a puppet."
Therefore, Shuang Qingqing wanted Bai Rou to see the bloody side.
Now, hearing that this old ancestor had set his sights on her master from the Wuliang Sect, although she also knew that the old ancestor would not dare to do anything reckless in the Wuliang Sect, being targeted by a Nascent Soul cultivator was definitely not a good thing.
"Grandmaster, my master didn't urge me to go back. He just asked about my recent situation and the affairs of the Muliu Sect. He even told me to bring up the name of the Wuliang Sect if there was anything I couldn't solve."
After hearing this, Shuang Qingqing raised the corner of her charming mouth and said, "How could he have kept his little tricks from me? It's been more than three months. Considering the time you spent on your way back, how long have you been in the sect? Is it necessary to send a message twice? In view of your pleading for him, I'll leave it at that."
Bai Rou felt relieved after hearing that the old master had softened his tone, but she still thought, "I still have to find an opportunity to tell the old master more about how good Elder Chi Gong was to me, so that the old master will never think of dealing with my master who suffered such an unforeseen disaster."
