Chapter 35 Chongyang Peak
Chapter 35 Chongyang Peak
After showing Xu Xiaoxiao around the main peak, Jiang Jingzhi noticed it was getting late and said, "Junior Sister, today I only showed you a corner of the Huitian Sect. I'll show you the rest later if we have time. Let's stop here for today and head back to Chongyang Peak."
“Okay, should we wait for Master? He said he would come back to pick me up when he was done with his work.” Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered that there was another master.
"Don't worry, I've already left a message for my master."
Jiang Jing waved his hand, and a crane model instantly grew larger, looking exactly like a real one. "Junior Sister, let's go."
Xu Xiaoxiao carefully placed her hand on her senior brother's hand. His hand was cool, which was proportional to the warmth of hers. She then sat on the crane's back.
"Senior Brother, are you cold? Your hands look very cold," Xu Xiaoxiao asked with concern, looking at Jiang Jingzhi sitting next to her.
"It's not cold, it's natural, it's nothing to worry about." He looked at his junior sister with doting eyes. Sure enough, junior sisters are all soft and sweet.
Xu Xiaoxiao remembered that her master had said that her eldest brother had a violent aura, which must be the reason why he was in poor health. She felt a little sorry for him. Such a handsome person must get better.
Jiang Jingzhi flew higher with Xu Xiaoxiao so that his junior sister could see the entire sect.
On the crane's back, Xu Xiaoxiao looked down at the Huitian Sect and saw that the continuous palaces were scattered among the green mountains and valleys.
The main peak stands majestically, with clouds and mist swirling around its waist like a soft veil.
Between the peaks, waterfalls and springs cascade down, shimmering silver in the sunlight; rainbow bridges span the landscape, connecting different architectural complexes, where disciples, their robes fluttering, appear like immortals.
Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Senior Brother, the Returning Heaven Sect is so beautiful, it's like a fairyland. I really hope I can cultivate here soon and experience its mysteries."
Her eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation.
Jiang Jingzhi looked at her and smiled, "When you cultivate here in the future, you will definitely discover more beautiful scenery and surprises. Every inch of this land contains profound spiritual energy and countless stories."
Xu Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly, her heart filled with anticipation for her future life in the Huitian Sect. She secretly resolved to cultivate diligently and live up to the expectations of this magnificent place and her master and senior brothers.
As the crane gradually approached Chongyang Peak, Xu Xiaoxiao's heart grew increasingly excited.
Jiang Jingzhi looked at her and said with a smile, "Junior Sister, we're almost at Chongyang Peak. I'll take you to see Second Junior Brother Mu Zhusheng later. He's obsessed with alchemy and spends most of his time studying in the alchemy room. Although he doesn't talk much, he's steady and reliable, and he's also very protective of his own. If he finds out I've made you tired from walking around, he'll definitely give me a lecture."
Xu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes wide with curiosity: "Second Senior Brother is so amazing! The pills he refines must be incredibly magical!"
Jiang Jingzhi nodded: "That's natural. Second Junior Brother is quite talented in alchemy. The pills he refines are not only very beneficial to cultivation, but have also saved many injured disciples."
As they spoke, the crane slowly landed in front of Chongyang Peak.
The crane slowly descended, and Xu Xiaoxiao looked up and saw that Chongyang Peak was lush with vegetation and filled with spiritual energy.
Several ancient yet elegant pavilions are half-hidden among the lush trees, with a faint fragrance of herbs wafting through the air.
Nestled among the peaks is a tranquil valley, shrouded in mist; that is where Mu Zhusheng's alchemy room is located.
Around the alchemy room, various rare spiritual herbs and medicines were planted, shimmering with a strange light under the nourishment of spiritual energy.
Not far away, a clear stream flowed gently, and occasionally the faint vibrations of the cauldron could be heard from the direction of the alchemy room, which meant that Mu Zhusheng was carefully refining a new pill.
As soon as Jiang Jingzhi and Xu Xiaoxiao stepped into Chongyang Peak, a wooden puppet came over and shouted, "Welcome back!"
At this moment, Mu Zhusheng also walked over from the direction of the alchemy room. He was wearing a moon-white robe, with a handsome face and a calm and focused look in his eyes.
He was slightly taken aback when he saw Xu Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Jingzhi introduced with a smile: "Second Junior Brother, this is Junior Sister Xu Xiaoxiao, Master's newly accepted disciple."
Mu Zhusheng looked Xu Xiaoxiao up and down and said gently, "Hello, Junior Sister, welcome to Chongyang Peak."
But in his heart he thought that this junior sister seemed clever and well-behaved, so he must take good care of her and not let her suffer any grievances in the sect.
Xu Xiaoxiao bowed somewhat reservedly: "Greetings, Second Senior Brother. I have long heard of your remarkable alchemy skills. It is truly an honor to meet you today."
She felt both nervous and excited, and was very curious about her legendary and powerful second senior brother's world of alchemy.
Mu Zhusheng smiled slightly: "If Junior Sister is interested, you can come and take a look at the alchemy room. However, the medicinal properties in the alchemy room are mixed, so you need to be careful."
Jiang Jingzhi joked, "Is Second Junior Brother going to take Junior Sister as his disciple and teach her alchemy?"
Mu Zhusheng gently scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. I just saw that Junior Sister was interested and wanted her to learn more."
Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she nodded without hesitation, saying, "Thank you, Second Senior Brother. I really want to go and see the alchemy room!"
Her heart was filled with curiosity and longing for that mysterious alchemy room. She was excited at the thought of being able to observe the wonderful process of alchemy up close and maybe even learn something from it.
In her view, this was a rare and novel experience that she absolutely could not miss.
Filled with excitement and curiosity, Xu Xiaoxiao followed Mu Zhusheng into the alchemy room.
As soon as she entered, a rich and complex medicinal fragrance wafted over her, prompting her to take a deep breath.
Inside the alchemy room, the walls were lined with small drawers, each labeled with the names of various spiritual herbs and medicines.
In the center of the room, a huge bronze alchemy furnace stood silently, its body engraved with ancient runes, faintly radiating a warm aura.
Scattered on the ground were some alchemical tools, such as an exquisite medicine grinder, a jade medicine spoon, and various uniquely shaped vessels.
Mu Zhusheng walked to the alchemy furnace, gently brushed away a speck of dust from the furnace lid, and said, "Junior Sister, I carefully selected this alchemy furnace. It can precisely control the heat and the flow of spiritual energy."
Xu Xiaoxiao curiously approached the alchemy furnace and peered inside through the small hole in the lid, but all she saw was darkness.
Mu Zhusheng seemed to see through her thoughts and explained with a smile, "There are no pills being refined in the furnace now. If pills are being refined, there will be spiritual fire flickering inside, and various spiritual herbs will be fused and transformed within it."
Next, Mu Zhusheng led Xu Xiaoxiao to a stone platform on the side, where several freshly picked spiritual herbs were placed, emitting a faint spiritual glow.
"These spiritual herbs are the basic materials for alchemy. Each one has its unique effects and spiritual properties and must be carefully processed before it can be put into the furnace."
As Mu Zhusheng spoke, she picked up a spiritual herb and skillfully rubbed it gently with her hands, demonstrating to Xu Xiaoxiao how to remove impurities.
Xu Xiaoxiao watched intently, her eyes wide open, her heart filled with amazement and admiration for the art of alchemy. She secretly pondered how intricate, complex, and mysterious alchemy was, and her respect for Mu Zhusheng grew even stronger.
