Chapter 56: Entering the Inner Storehouse to Seek for One's Own Destiny

Among many performances, the Queen praised Wu Yi and the other two. In the eyes of the Taoist priest Baimei, the Queen knew that Wu Yi and Wang Chuchen had a close relationship, and might even know the relationship between Wang Chuchen and Lingya Shangzhen. This was not simple. A straightforward comparison was that Bai Yu did not know about Lingya Shangzhen. The Queen's knowledge of this meant that she had been exposed to the inside story of the sect.

The game between Dongtian Shangzhen was at least accessible to a cultivator of the first level of Jindan. How could the Queen, a mortal, know about it? Then only someone else had tipped her off, but the person who tipped her off had to be at least Jindan, which meant that there was a Jindan Zhenren standing on the Queen's side.

According to the struggle between the aristocratic family and the master-disciple lineage, the most likely person was Xie Yi, who represented the master-disciple lineage this time. The first person that the Taoist priest Baimei thought of was Xie Yi telling the Queen the inside story of the sect, but it was not just that Xie Yi's expression was wrong. After thinking for a while, the Taoist priest Baimei himself ruled out this guess.

In order to push Ping Yunce, the prince, to the throne, the Taoist priest Baimei brought another Jindan disciple from the inner sect and invited another fellow Taoist priest who was also from aristocratic family. Therefore, there were three people from the aristocratic family this time. Since the Taoist priest Baimei not only had the highest cultivation, but was also the initiator, he was the representative.

The situation of the master-disciple lineage was similar. In fact, Xie Yi was only at the second level of Jindan, and his strength was much worse than that of the Taoist priest Baimei. However, when Xie Yi came, he did not intend to turn the tables. He came to gain benefits and hoped that the Ping family would make concessions in other areas. It was impossible for him to attract many fellow Taoist priests.

Many times, the struggle between the aristocratic family and the master-disciple lineage was in this way, and it was impossible to form a situation of equal strength. Since Xie Yi came to exchange benefits, it was impossible to overturn the table. All the arrangements were to force him, the Ping family, to give more benefits, and it was even more impossible to tell a mortal about the sect's secrets. This has already involved the struggle between the upper echelons. When the power is not enough, the more you know, the worse it is. You must know that he did not even tell Bai Yu about this.

Does the queen really like this show? This idea suddenly popped up in the mind of the Taoist priest with white eyebrows, but he quickly dismissed it. She was already Kunji (empress), which was the most honorable position in a country. She could sit in this position, not to mention that the queen had been in the deep palace for a long time. In recent years, she also helped Emperor Gengshi deal with state affairs. She had no shortage of power and scheming. How could she show her feelings so obviously in front of everyone?

Even if they really liked someone and wanted to make friends, they would not reward him in public. They mainly discussed and connected behind the scenes.

Where did the queen get the news from? The Taoist priest with white eyebrows fell into deep thought. In fact, the Taoist priest with white eyebrows was not worried about the queen making friends with Wu Yi. After all, Wu Yi was just a minor cultivator of Qi Refining. Even Wang Chuchen had not yet entered the Golden Core and had not yet become a real disciple of Lingya. There was no need to worry. Wang Chuchen, who was thousands of miles away, would not get involved.

What the White-Eyebrowed Taoist really worried about was the person who tipped off the Queen. He must be a Jindan who could get in touch with the inner secrets of the sect. No matter how many Jindans there were, with the support of Jindan behind the scenes, the idea of ​​forcing the Emperor Gengshi to abdicate, which the White-Eyebrowed Taoist had previously thought of, had become more unstable, and needed to be replanned.

The White-Eyebrowed Taoist did not look away, and communicated with the two Taoists around him, passing on his views, reminding them to be careful of this person secretly making a move and disrupting the arrangement. If it is really unavoidable to do it, don't let the people know, and suppress the range of supernatural powers within a certain range. It can be regarded as perfecting the plan.

On the other side, Wu Yi and the other two followed the female official in front of them, passing through layers of buildings, knowing that this was the Queen's reward for them, and they all showed envious expressions in their eyes, but this was the view of the officials, and those cultivators were not necessarily envious. After all, the rewards that the Queen could give as a mortal were just some yellow and white things, which were not in their eyes. Wu Yi also had this view and did not attach much importance to the Queen's reward.

In fact, he still didn't know what the queen's purpose was. If it was a reward, she could just ask the maid to bring some up and share it with him. This grand ceremony seemed to have a hidden meaning. Was she going to tie him to the queen's chariot? But Wu Yi couldn't find any reason why he was worthy of the queen's attention.

But Wu Yi soon ran out of energy to think about this. The pace of the female official in front of him was getting faster and faster. When Wu Yi sped up, she also sped up. In the end, Wu Yi had to use his spiritual energy. The same was true for Ge Yiyi and the senior sister surnamed Jiang. They were sweating and panting in a short while.

This female official was a foundation-building cultivator. Wu Yi and the other two immediately understood in their hearts that they no longer dared to look at her with the same eyes as before, and they were more cautious and respectful in their hearts.

The imperial city was very large, but fortunately, there were only three people going forward now, so there was no need to worry about the formation. Before, the disciples had to consider the formation and behavior when they went out, otherwise thousands of people would walk around in a mess, which would throw away the face of the Taoist sect.

After about a cup of tea, Wu Yi and the other two came to a heavily guarded palace. In addition to the heavy armor that could be seen in front of his eyes, Wu Yi also sensed that there were several soldiers lurking in the dark, both bright and dark sentries. It was not Tianji's room. Wu Yi knew in his heart that this might be the royal inner storehouse.

After the female official talked with the guards, Wu Yi and the other two were able to accompany the female official into the inner storehouse, but there were still several soldiers following behind them. In Wu Yi's perception, they were either people with spiritual energy in their dantian or strong men trained with external medicines. They were not ordinary people.

Some hopeless people who did not enter the inner gate or become a foundation-building person after fifteen years of entering the sect would mostly seek a job in the court. The strongman should be the same. Judging from his age, he should be from a Taoist temple. He was abandoned by his original owner because of his old age and physical weakness. At least he was not trained by the royal family. Here, the status of Taoists and strongmen is the same. They were all expelled from the Taoist sect. They are brothers in distress. Don't laugh at each other when you are fifty steps away.

Seeing the Taoist strongman behind him, Wu Yi couldn't help but think that if he hadn't realized the tortoise and snake breathing technique in the miscellaneous books before, he might still be wasting time at the door of the qi, and he might even be driven down the mountain by other disciples. His fate might be worse than that of the people behind him. Wu Yi didn't follow the rules to enter the sect. He was not an ordinary hater.

It didn't take Wu Yi long to sigh. After passing through a layer of doors, Wu Yi and the other two came to a door made of red gold, about three feet high. Even in the low light, it was shining. Without looking at the items inside, this thing alone was worth a lot of money.

Wu Yi clearly felt the surprised expressions of the Taoists behind him when they saw the female official stop here, and then their eyes shot out fiery light.

Wu Yi thought: Could it be that there are things used by the monks inside?

But then Wu Yi laughed at his ignorance. Since the royal family was able to attract all the strong monks, there must be something that impressed them. It could be some pills, powders, pastes and pills needed for cultivation. These items are probably stored here. Before, I didn't care about the queen's reward, but now I am looking forward to it. Even if the queen is a mortal, she can mobilize the power of the whole country, and her wealth is not necessarily less than that of Jindan Zhenren.

The female official skillfully opened the red gold door. She twisted the big lock up and down and left and right several times with her fingers like threading a thread. Then she heard a "click" sound, and the red gold door opened. Wu Yi was originally very curious that the female official would bring outsiders here, but after entering, Wu Yi realized that he was overthinking. This was just a main door. There were countless small sub-doors inside, which were also made of red gold. Referring to the thickness of the main door, Wu Yi believed that even if he came, he might not be able to open the door.

The female official stopped and turned to ask Wu Yi and the other two: "What reward do you want?"

They could still choose what reward they wanted. Wu Yi and the other two looked at each other. The gap was too big, and they couldn't believe it for a while. They said: "I dare not ask for too much, just take it, sir."

The female official nodded, waved her hand and flew out three balls of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy was bulging, as if it contained something.

"You three can choose the same one." The female official said.

Wu Yi and the other two female cultivators chose before the spiritual energy turned into a thread and hooked the last ball of spiritual energy.

Before Wu Yi opened the aura ball, he heard Ge Yiyi exclaim: "Da Huan Dan." Soon, Senior Sister Jiang also covered her red lips with her hands, her eyes were shining, and it was Ge Yiyi who told her what she got, a Yunling Pill, which is one of the nine changes of Qi Refining. It is a spiritual pill that needs to be used when nourishing Qi. It is extremely rare. Ge Yiyi also accidentally saw a brother of the same clan take out this pill and then remembered it.

It was really unexpected. Seeing that the items obtained by the other two were all good, Wu Yi was also full of expectations for the aura in his hand.

Wu Yi dispersed the aura on the periphery, revealing the true appearance inside, which was empty. Ge Yiyi couldn't help laughing, and even the taciturn Senior Sister Jiang covered her mouth and chuckled. Wu Yi's face was full of black lines.

"Huh." Wu Yi was surprised at the changes in the aura in front of him. The aura that was originally dispersed by Wu Yi actually twisted and changed by itself. Wu Yi thought it was the female official who secretly manipulated it, but he didn't feel the changes in the aura. The aura finally condensed into a golden pill, and then disappeared.

Seeing this, the female official had no expression on her face and said to Wu Yi calmly: "This thing is not in my hand. Come with me and I will take it from you."

Wu Yi looked at Ge Yiyi and the other two, shook his head, told them not to follow, and then followed them quickly. Ge Yiyi and the other two left the inner storehouse under the "escort" of the Taoist priest.

At this point, only Wu Yi and the female official were left. Wu Yi couldn't tell why, but he had a feeling that it seemed that the female official had done it on purpose before, just to let him go forward alone.

After going a distance, the female official slowed down, and Wu Yi thought they were almost there, but in fact, the female official wanted to talk to Wu Yi.

"Your name is Wu Yi, right?"

I don't know why this cold and taciturn female official would take the initiative to chat with him, but after all, she is a foundation-building cultivator, so Wu Yi didn't dare to treat her badly and replied: "Yes."

"Is Wang Chuchen your master?"

Wu Yi raised his head and thought for a while, then said seriously: "No."

Unexpectedly, the female official in front of him stopped immediately, turned around and looked at Wu Yi with a pair of cold eyes, and said coldly: "You are lying."

Wu Yi's blood was almost frozen by her look. Daoyun, the Daoyun of the Great Dao of Ice, Wu Yi felt the familiar yet unfamiliar power. Although he didn't know much about Daoyun, he guessed it at the first time. In addition, Wu Yi also felt the harmonious coexistence of the female official with the world, as if she was one with the world. And this state, Wu Yi had only seen it in a few people such as Yun Sa Baimei Laodao, and they were all Jindan Zhenren.

How could it be a foundation building? It was clearly a golden elixir. I... Wu Yi roared in his heart, feeling that his blood was about to be frozen into a block, and it was no longer flowing. His whole body was completely numb below his head. Wu Yi felt that he was only a hair's breadth away from death.

"I dare not deceive the real person. My grandfather and the temple master are good friends. They once served as officials in the Great Xuan Kingdom together. It was also under the recommendation of my grandfather that I came to the Yiqi Taoist Temple in Liucheng. Maybe it was because of my grandfather's face that the temple master allowed me to enter."

"Although we often met after that, she never mentioned taking me as her disciple."

The female official dispersed her Taoist charm to suppress him, and Wu Yi immediately collapsed to the ground, his whole body purple and blue. If he had waited a moment longer, he would have been shattered into ice. Now he was not much better, and his whole body was aching.

"Do you know why I brought you here alone?"

Wu Yi looked up and saw a cunning flash in the female official's eyes, like the expression of a little girl after she successfully teased someone. Thinking back to the terrible experience before, Wu Yi's pupils shrank in fear, and he quickly lowered his head and dared not look again, saying: "I don't know."
