Chapter 304 Followers Like a Flow
The next morning.
The sky was still gray and hazy, but the whole city of Shenghan was already in a bustle.
Countless people got up early and rushed to the Temple of Heaven to get a better position.
The Temple of Heaven is the place where the royal family holds sacrifices and celebrations. Today, the birthday of the Queen Xuanji is also held here.
Zhao Mu ended a night of meditation and meditation and went out with Xiang Ningbing, who was already dressed up.
The Temple of Heaven is next to the royal palace and can be reached by walking a distance.
At this time, the royal palace was quite lively, with cultivators from various sects gathered. Looking around, there were many masters. Even the breath of the powerful people who had passed the tribulation, Zhao Mu sensed at least hundreds of them, not counting those who deliberately concealed their breath.
With Zhao Mu's cultivation in the Refining Void Realm, he was not good enough to be placed in the crowd with a disciple in the Nascent Soul Realm.
But no one dared to look down on Zhao Mu.
The moment he appeared, several ministers came to greet him and opened a separate passage for Zhao Mu to show respect.
"Who is this guy? He is only at the Refining Void Realm, but he can be received by the Prime Minister himself."
"Prime Minister Wang is an important official of the dynasty, one of the confidants of Empress Xuanji, and a powerful person of the world who has passed the ninth heaven of the tribulation. He was once one of the human race's geniuses and was very famous. The VIP who can be received by him personally must have a very special background."
"You are all out of date, right? You don't know Mr. Zhao Mu?"
"Zhao Mu! He is Zhao Mu!"
"I heard that this person is known as the number one genius of the human race. He killed the demon race's heavenly supreme with the Refining Void Realm. I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true?"
"I don't know whether Zhao Mu killed the great demon of heaven, but he is indeed the prince of Shengyuan Demon Sect. You have lived in the plains for a long time. Above, if you don't know what's going on in the Ten Thousand Monsters Forest, then the Demon Sect is now developing very fiercely, and it is very likely to become the sixth largest holy land of the human race. Zhao Mu has absolute control over the Demon Sect. How terrifying do you think his status is? "
"Hiss, no wonder Wang Xiang has to lower his posture in front of Zhao Mu. This status is really tough enough. "
"You don't know, Zhao Mu is more famous in the demon race. It is said that he talked and laughed with the Supreme Canglong in the Dragon Domain. He killed many powerful demons, but he was able to walk out of the Ten Thousand Monsters Forest intact. This is not good luck, he has real skills. "
Zhao Mu heard a lot of people talking about him. The eyes they looked at him were either curious, or amazed, or fearful.
It can be expected that Zhao Mu's reputation has basically spread among the human race. At present, it seems that there are more praises, and no slander has been heard.
This is a good thing. The higher Zhao Mu's reputation is among the human race, the easier it is for the Demon Sect to recruit the elite of the human race.
Among the disciples of the Demon Sect, the demon race still occupies the majority. If we want to maintain the balance, we still need to recruit more human cultivators.
Let's not talk about this for now.
"Master Zhao, please."
After Prime Minister Wang exchanged greetings with Zhao Mu, he set off for the Temple of Heaven.
Zhao Mu did not correct the title of Master. After all, Tang Qing has basically retreated to the second line, practicing in seclusion every day, and has not paid attention to the affairs of the sect for a long time. It is not wrong to call Zhao Mu the Master of the Demon Sect.
Not long after, everyone moved to the Temple of Heaven. The government has arranged everything properly. Zhao Mu was naturally promoted to the first place. He will be the first to congratulate the Xuanji Empress on her birthday.
However, it is still early. The celebration ceremony is still being held. It is necessary to offer sacrifices to the sky and ancestors before congratulations.
Zhao Mu was not interested in such solemn occasions, but in this environment, he could only pretend to watch, secretly playing a little game of tickling his little apprentice's palm, which made the little apprentice's heart beat faster, but he had to resist the urge to blush, for fear of being noticed.
After finally waiting until the ceremony was over, Zhao Mu was just about to take a break, when the elders of various factions came up one after another to make friends.
They were all elders of the holy land, true disciples, and all of them were powerful people who had passed the tribulation. They were powerful and had deep backgrounds. Zhao Mu could only be patient and talk to them politely.
In any case, it was also a network of people, which might be useful in the future.
When an elder of the Medicine God Temple came to talk to Zhao Mu, Zhao Mu suddenly remembered something and told him about the medicine corpse he had encountered in the Ten Thousand Monsters Forest before.
That medicine corpse could find treasure medicine, which was really a good thing, and the medicine corpse also contained the medicinal power of the soul-cleansing flower.
Jin Fei said before that the Grandmaster of Alchemy could extract the medicinal power from the corpse of a medicine, and Zhao Mu tried it after he broke through the Grandmaster of Alchemy.
Other medicinal powers are easy to say, but the medicinal power of the Soul Cleansing Flower is really too strong. With his current means, it is difficult to extract the medicinal power of the Soul Cleansing Flower completely. I am afraid that he will have a chance to do it after breaking through the Grandmaster realm.
So Zhao Mu plans to ask the elders of the Medicine God Temple, after all, they are professionals in this area.
"Medicine corpse?"
Hearing Zhao Mu's words, the elders of the Medicine God Temple pondered slightly.
He is the second elder of the Medicine God Temple, named Yao Danzi, who is quite famous in the alchemy world of Xianwu Continent and is one of the best.
Yao Danzi said: "I am not satisfied with Mr. Zhao. Our Medicine God Temple has produced many brilliant alchemists, but many of them have gone astray, lost their Taoism, and turned into demons. This medicine corpse is the beginning of demonization. Conservatively estimated, there are at least 800 medicine corpses that have flowed out of the Medicine God Temple. It is too difficult to verify their identities, and even if they are found out, the results are not good. They have fallen and are not qualified to return to the Medicine God Temple. If Mr. Zhao doesn't mind the trouble, please deal with the medicine corpses for my Medicine God Temple."
They are actually going to be dealt with?
Doesn't the Medicine God Temple know that the medicine corpses have the ability to sense precious medicines?
Or is the medicine corpse he got actually an exception? It belongs to a rare species.
Zhao Mu's mind moved, and he didn't explain too much. He nodded and agreed.
As for the method of extracting the medicinal power from the medicine corpse, Zhao Mu didn't ask much.
Anyway, he didn't need the Soul Cleansing Pill for the time being, so he was not in a hurry.
After receiving a few more guests, it was finally time for the Xuanji Empress to appear.
Zhao Mu couldn't help but look up at the Temple of Heaven.
Zhao Mu was quite curious about the legendary Empress Xuanji.
Suddenly, a golden light shone above the Temple of Heaven, and a huge golden light column shot up into the sky, turning into a stream of light all over the sky, and sprinkled on the entire Shenghan City, like a big cover, covering Shenghan City.
In the golden light, a proud and peerless figure slowly walked out.
Just as Zhao Mu was watching intently, Jin Fei's voice suddenly came to his ears.
"Son-in-law, the situation is not right. I sensed the breath of the Fuxian formation being activated. This is a confinement formation that only exists in the fairy world. Once it is opened, even a true immortal will find it difficult to escape from the formation. This birthday celebration may be a fraud!"
Hearing this, Zhao Mu frowned instantly.
What does it mean?
Are all of them trapped in Shenghan City?
Is it the work of Empress Xuanji?
But why?
