Chapter 657: Things Are Different Now than Before Kuimu Lang Surrenders

While the Chaos Immortal Palace was in a time of joy and unity, the palace was not completely harmonious and there was still a little turbulence.

On this day, Yu Lie was in seclusion as usual, and mountains of spiritual minerals and medicinal materials were continuously transported to his quiet room.

Every day and every night, huge smoke as big as a mountain would rise from the quiet room. This is the smoke from the fire and the medicinal herbs.

As Yu Lie's retreat progressed, in addition to a large number of people with talent in formation techniques, his meditation room was also filled with people with talent in alchemy and weapon techniques.

The charcoal fire they used to prepare elixirs and refine spiritual materials for me every day was enough to burn up the hundreds of years of accumulation of a medium-sized family. The waste liquid used to cool the furnace fire every moment formed a ten-foot-wide waterway, gurgling out from both sides of the quiet room.

After these waste liquids are discharged into the Huoxing City, because they are mixed with some spiritual energy, they will be snatched by the Taoist children and Taoists in the city, who think they are nectar from heaven.

Every time Kuimulang walked past the quiet room, he couldn't help but look up and stare at Yu Lie's quiet room three or four times.

"Alas, why is the gap between people so big?"

Kuimulang originally thought that he had become a hero after joining the Huoluan Immortal Palace, and his status in the Dao Court would also rise.

But who would have thought that as soon as they entered the palace, the limelight was first stolen by Heishuizi, and then completely taken away by Yu Lie. This group of new disciples who had fought for thousands of years were completely reduced to the foil of these two brothers.

But in reality, except for a few people like Kui Mulang, the new and old disciples in the palace would have no objection to this.

On the one hand, Yu Lie's appearance greatly enhanced the reputation of the Immortal Palace. The palace treasury was opened wide, and grain was imported from outside the palace. Every disciple in the palace seemed to be having a prosperous year. In recent days, everyone had a rosy complexion. This was another aspect.

"This guy was just a small human under my command."

Kuimulang was secretly complaining in his heart. He couldn't help but look up again and stared at the magnificent "Liezi Hall" for a few seconds.

The palace where Yu Lie resides has no name for the time being, as he has not yet taken a Taoist name. Therefore, the people in the Immortal Palace all respectfully call him "Liezi", and the palace where he resides is naturally called "Liezi Palace".

Only a few people like Kuimulang knew that Yu Lie once had a Taoist name called "Jingmu'an".

However, even if Kuimulang had ten times more courage, he would not dare to call Yu Lie "Jingmu'an" again.

He even didn't want to meet Yu Lie, for fear that he might see him, think of his old days as an inspector, feel unhappy, and kill him with a casual word.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in Kuimulang's ears:

"Hey! That new kid, the goods have been delivered, hurry up and leave."

Upon hearing this, Kuimulang lowered his head quickly, with a wry smile on his face. He took out a storage bag from his waist, presented it with both hands, and whispered:
"This is the Star Leaf Ore that I extracted from the earth marrow magma on Falling Star Island. Brother, please count it and see if the quality is suitable for Master Liezi to use."

That person was in charge of counting the spiritual materials. He had cultivated the True Elixir realm. With a normal expression, he glanced into Kuimulang's bag with his spiritual sense, then nodded, casually took out a bottle of pills from his sleeve and threw it to Kuimulang.

"This pill was made by three alchemy masters today. Liezi only took a few pills as the medicine. The rest are for you foundation-building Taoists. Go down and taste them."

Kuimulang quickly took the pill. As soon as his hand touched it, he found that the pill bottle itself was actually made of top-grade spirit stone-level jade.

He opened the bottle carefully, not daring to smell it for fear of leaking too much medicinal aroma. He only briefly let his spiritual sense in to take a quick look.

Kuimulang's face immediately turned red, and he quickly saluted the other party:

"Thank you, Senior Brother. I have made great progress in this training!"

The Taoist master of the Immortal Palace had a young face and chuckled, "Why thank me? Thank Liezi. I see that you have opened a purple palace. You should make the most of your time to cultivate. The good days of our Immortal Palace are still to come."

This person found Kuimulang pleasing to his eye, and with a few words, he exempted him from the hard labor of running around outside and sent him here to count the medicinal materials.

Kuimulang originally didn't want to hang around Yu Lie, but when he heard about the mission, he immediately changed his mind and didn't hesitate for a moment:

"Well, Junior Brother will follow Senior Brother's instructions!"

Immediately he spoke all kinds of nice words, which made the other party laugh and scold him a few times. Then he left the place with a shameless face and a smile on his face.

The next few days.

Kuimulang was kind to everyone, and had completely lost the cruelty he had in the Baichao Inspection Office. He spent the whole day happily inspecting medicinal materials, walking around here and there, and occasionally watching the alchemy master's alchemy process. From time to time, he would sneakily take a few handfuls of "discarded medicinal materials", swallow them, and take them away.

Originally, seeing that the Huoluan Immortal Palace treated him so well and did not care about his former status as a Taoist priest at all, he actually felt a little guilty for embezzling money.

But the next day, he saw Sang Yutang and Tie Jianlan, the two rumored concubines of Lie Zi, not only could they enter and leave the hall at will, but even a group of alchemy masters were friendly to them and allowed them to use medicinal herbs and minerals at will.

Kuimulang's guilt was gone at once, and he became ruthless. He swallowed three times the usual amount of waste medicine in one breath that day.

Because of the anti-theft ban at the entrance of the main hall, these waste medicines could only be hidden in his body, which made his neck thick. After finishing his work, he ran to his own cave with his tail between his legs, wanting to return to the cave quickly to spit them out.

But when he finally ran to the front of the cave, a figure suddenly flashed by and patted his shoulder hard from behind.

The Taoist priest who was building the foundation always had a protective spell on his side, so the opponent naturally did not hit him on the shoulder, but only made Kuimulang's body shake.

However, the sneer in the other party's mouth scared Kuimulang so much that he almost dissolved the useless medicine in his stomach on the spot. Although he calmed himself down in time, the toxicity increased as the medicinal gas leaked, causing his face to turn green.

"Well, Kuimu is not a wolf, but a weasel. He works for Lie Zi, but he dares to do sneaky things!"

However, when Kuimulang turned around, the awkward look on his face disappeared, and he heaved a sigh of relief, saying in a voice transmission: "I was shocked, it turned out to be Brother Jiaomu!

Hey, shouldn't brother be in seclusion to make a breakthrough? How come you have time to come to me?"

I saw a man with a terrific figure standing in front of Kuimulang's cave, squinting at this guy.

The other party was none other than Jiao Mujiao, who belonged to the Daoting Inspection Department like Kuimulang. He also became a disciple of the Huoluan Immortal Palace. Because he was only one step away from forming a pill and had obtained inheritance in the Sword Garden, he was treated better in the Immortal Palace than Kuimulang.

In recent times, this person has been receiving support from the Immortal Palace. He does not need to do any work. He just needs to practice with peace of mind and strive to form an elixir as soon as possible.

Therefore, the appearance of Jiaomu Jiao in front of Kuimu Lang made the latter extremely surprised. After all, the entire Immortal Palace now knows about the Ascension Battle, and the other party should seize the time to break through.

Hearing this, Jiao Mu Jiao did not answer, but stretched out his hand and forcibly grabbed Kuimu Lang. After looking around for a few times, he said, "Follow me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a spiritual light emerged from his body and transformed into a sword light that flew towards someone.

Kuimulang originally wanted to refuse to resist, but when he saw that this man could transform himself into sword light, and that they were colleagues after all, and after entering the Huoluan Immortal Palace, they were also buddies who knew each other well, he suppressed his fear and followed the other party.

After a while, the two of them took a small path and escaped from the Immortal Palace of Disaster.

They didn't go far, they landed in the City of Disaster Star under the Immortal Palace.

After landing, Kuimulang felt familiar with the surrounding scenery, because the place they came to was the base of Daoting and his group in Huoxing City.

However, compared to the past, the Dao Court members had already been dispersed, and the Dao Court outposts in the entire Chaos Domain had been almost completely eliminated. Even those that had not been eliminated had been transformed from visible outposts into secret sentinels, and they no longer dared to flaunt their power as before, let alone abuse their power by relying on the status of the Dao Court.

This also caused the Dao Court to lose contact with the people in the Dao Court in the Disaster Realm, and many Taoists lost contact in the Disaster Realm.

As for Kuimulang and Jiaomujiao, after they entered the Huoluan Immortal Palace, they were cut off from the outside world. When they were able to leave the palace, all their previous means of communication were cut off, and they could not even transmit sound through the Taoist dragon energy in their brains.

These two people are among the group of Dao Court minions who have lost contact most completely in the Disaster Realm.

Kuimulang pondered, thinking to himself: "Bringing me to a place like this, could it be that Jiaomujiao has contacted Daoting?"

Just as Kuimulang had expected, the two men walked into an underground palace, took several hundred steps, passed through numerous lead and iron mechanism restrictions, and came to a narrow secret room that could only accommodate five or six people.

Jiao Mujiao did not use any magic power, but only relied on the mechanism to turn a few hinges. After a series of dull sounds of heavy objects colliding, the two of them were completely isolated from the outside world for a while. Not only could the air not enter, but even spiritual energy could not enter or exit.

At this moment, a figure also mysteriously appeared in the depths of the secret room.

Jiao Mujiao quickly nudged Kuimulang with his hand and called out, "I am Jiao Mujiao, your humble servant, and I am here to see you, sir!"

Kuimulang squinted at the guy in front of him who was pretending to be a ghost. While guessing his identity, he saluted in a proper manner.

Immediately, a cold voice came from behind:

"Has Yu Lie really achieved the first-grade elixir?"

Jiao Mujiao immediately replied: "My Lord, this is true. The Taoist Master came to the Chaos Palace that day, and I saw him talk about this matter with my own eyes.

If you don't believe me, you can ask Kuimu Lang again."

As soon as Jiao Mujiao finished speaking, Kuimulang felt a chilling divine sense falling on him, and he immediately replied:
"Indeed."

This chill made Kuimu Lang feel uncomfortable even though he had entered the realm of refining the inner energy, as if the other party could easily kill him. He could not help but send a message to Jiaomu Jiao: "Brother Jiaomu, who is this gentleman?"

Jiao Mujiao responded calmly: "Who else could it be? The most powerful person in the Mountain and Sea Realm right now!"

"God is coming?" Kuimulang was surprised.

But Jiao Mujiao quickly said, "No, no, Shen Linzi is in the Void Immortal Palace, receiving personal instruction from the Taoist Master. The one who summoned you and me today is our immediate superior, Gao Yunzi!"

“It turned out to be this person.”

Kuimulang pondered for a while and immediately understood why the other party spoke so coldly and was so concerned about Yu Lie's elixir success that he had to ask them even when the Immortal Court issued a decree.

According to what Kuimulang knew, Gao Yunzi was the most dissatisfied person when the Shenlinzi Pill became the first grade.

It is said that he had a private fight with Shen Linzi before Shen Linzi began to accept challenges from others. Although the result of the fight between the two was unknown to outsiders, from then on, Gao Yunzi, who was quite domineering before, completely changed in the Taoist court, becoming gentle and considerate to his subordinates.

Moreover, this person was quite protective of the Son of God when facing outsiders.

Only old men like Kuimulang from the Inspection Department vaguely knew that Gao Yunzi was actually the most unconvinced person in the Taoist court.

Now, apart from Shen Linzi, there is another celestial immortal seed appearing in the world. This naturally makes Gao Yunzi feel extremely unbalanced.

Suddenly, Gao Yunzi's voice became even colder, and he said:
"Also, when Yu Lie formed his elixir this time, did he use the Purple Mansion?"

Kuimulang was about to answer immediately, but after thinking it over, he held back and gave the opportunity to Jiaomujiao next to him.

Jiao Mujiao responded:

"Yes. And the purple palace is so huge that I thought it was the residence of an immortal. I saw it with my own eyes."

Suddenly, the quiet room fell silent.

Gao Yunzi didn't say another word, but the chill in the air became increasingly thicker.

This made Jiaomu Jiao realize that something was wrong, and he wisely closed his mouth and didn't say another word.

After a long time, the atmosphere in the secret room suddenly warmed up, as if the coldness just now was just an illusion of the two.

Gao Yunzi turned around, his figure was illusory, but his face was visible.

This beast smiled and said to the two of them:

"My two fellow Taoists, you are the backbone of my Inspection Department. Now you have successfully joined the Chaos Palace and penetrated into the enemy. Even the Taoist Lord has to commend you. I called you here today because I have a mission to assign..."

Immediately, this fang-tongued man spoke eloquently, making promises and saying this and that, and said solemnly:

"If this is accomplished, I will personally ask for credit for you from the Taoist Master! Apart from anything else, you two are both from the Purple Mansion, so it should be a piece of cake for you to make a top-grade golden elixir!"

When Jiao Mujiao and Kuimu Lang heard this promise, they felt itchy in their hearts and their mouths were dry, so they quickly responded:

"Here! Please obey the Taoist Master's decree."

Afterwards, Gao Yunzi comforted the two for a long time before he left, using the excuse that it was inconvenient to transmit the message, and told the two to return to the Huoluan Immortal Palace and act carefully.

In the secret room, Jiao Mujiao and Kuimu Lang looked at each other and found that they were both full of energy. They couldn't help but encourage each other:

"There is hope for the best! You and I must not let our superiors down."

But after returning to the Immortal Palace, the two had just parted ways for a moment when Kuimulang's figure flashed by. He didn't even have time to spit out the medicinal herbs in his mouth in the mansion, and ran straight towards where Yu Lie was.

This guy kept muttering: "It's a disaster, it's a disaster..."

But his face was filled with excitement, flushed with excitement.
