So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

"Is this Luo Tan's palace?"

"As expected of an alchemist, it's really luxurious."

At this moment, Mu Zhian, led by a maid, followed her into this extremely luxurious palace.

It has to be said that this is the Immortal Dynasty that has been established for a long time. Mu Zhian saw many rare beasts and various unknown treasures along the way.

These things alone are priceless.

In the past, there were rumors among the people that the longest reign of a dynasty would not exceed three hundred years, but that was limited to the emperors of the world.

The Immortal Dynasty founded by the empress of the Hedao realm is difficult to destroy as long as the life span of the Hedao great power is still there.

With some emotion, Mu Zhian followed the maid for a while and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"I say, it doesn't seem like we are going to Daochu Palace?"

On the way with the maid just now, Mu Zhian also saw luxurious palaces and even various rare fruits, but now he only saw some ordinary flowers, plants and trees.

The most important thing is... where is the palace that can be reached by a small path?

"Your Majesty has ordered that you should talk to Young Master Mu alone about some private matters, so please go to Yaoxin Palace where she lives to talk."

The maid patiently explained, and then pointed to the palace not far away: "It's there."

When she said this, she couldn't help but secretly look at the big boy a few more times, and her eyes were more subtle.

Although she had heard His Majesty mention that Mu Zhian's body flowed back to the past before, she was still a little surprised when she saw him before.

I don't know what important things His Majesty has that he has to talk in the bedroom where she lives...

As a maid who served His Majesty in the past few years, Gan Sui would naturally care about His Majesty's affairs.

After all, I have never seen His Majesty care so much about any opposite sex before...

"Do you have something to tell me?"

Mu Zhian naturally noticed the subtle look of the maid and asked immediately.

The maid shook her head slightly at first, motioning Mu Zhian to follow her to the Yaoxin Palace, and then suddenly asked:

"Mr. Mu, have you ever heard of the story that a human emperor of a dynasty in Dongzhou married a beautiful woman who charmed everyone, and the dynasty eventually fell?"

Mu Zhian recalled a little and smiled, "Are you talking about the Sixth Dynasty of Dongzhou?"

He had some impression of the story recorded in the ancient book. The Sixth Dynasty was one of the most powerful dynasties in Dongzhou. The king was wise and his life span was extended by a hundred years because of his practice of Taoism. At that time, the dynasty was prosperous and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

However, after that, the king married a beautiful woman who was so beautiful that she could overwhelm the whole country, and even made her start as a noble lady for the first time.

Since then, the king was obsessed with beauty and neglected the court, and the dynasty gradually declined.

"If I remember correctly, the concubine that the emperor married was a demon cultivator from the fox clan of the demon world. At that time, the demon world secretly sent people to suppress the fortune of Dongzhou." Mu Zhian said.

"But why did you ask this for no reason?"

The maid looked at the handsome young man meaningfully, with a bit of disgust in her eyes, but smiled and said: "I just suddenly remembered this and asked casually, Mr. Mu, don't care."

"Is that so."

Mu Zhian smiled slightly.

Asked casually?

Isn't it obvious that your majesty treats me too intimately, so he hinted that I should restrain those random and messy thoughts.

To put it bluntly, it is suspected that he is an 'undercover' sent by Dongzhou to suppress the national fortune of Yuzhou.

However, the problem is... I am a man, not a 'Da Ji', I don't have a natural charming physique, and naturally I can't be a fox spirit who brings disaster to the country and the people.

On the way, the maid never talked to Mu Zhian again, but from the atmosphere between the two, Mu Zhian still felt the maid's "hostility" towards him.

However, after all, he was in a foreign land, even though Yao Meng was backing him up, Mu Zhian still thought it was better to have less trouble than more, and did not pay too much attention.

"Mr. Mu, please wait outside the palace."

Unknowingly, the two had arrived at the Yaoxin Palace. After the maid Gan Sui briefly explained to Mu Zhian, she walked into the Yaoxin Palace.

...

Mu Zhian waited for half an hour.

A full half an hour!

Fortunately, I knew that Luo Tan had no grudge against me, otherwise I would probably think that she was deliberately making things difficult for me... Mu Zhian waited outside the palace very patiently. After a long time, Gan Sui, the maid who had gone in to report earlier, finally came out after much anticipation.

She glanced at Mu Zhian and smiled lightly, "Mr. Mu, your majesty, please come in."

"Was your majesty busy before?" Mu Zhian asked.

Gan Sui shook his head gently: "Your Majesty was bathing and changing clothes earlier, so I was not able to report it."

"Mr. Mu, I am so sorry."

As he said this, he bowed leisurely, looking very polite.

However, this seemingly polite action actually completely blocked Mu Zhian's way of questioning, not giving him any chance to accuse him at all.

I have already apologized, do you still want to embarrass me, a servant?

This is what the maid is expressing at this moment.

Mu Zhian hummed, glanced at the maid, stopped answering, and followed her into the depths of Yaoxin Palace, where he took a sip of hot tea. After a while, he finally saw Luo Luo, who was wearing a luxurious white dress. Tan walked to the palace.

The moment she looked at the boy with exquisite and beautiful facial features, disheveled hair, and gorgeous eyes, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up a little, but she maintained her usual indifferent smile: "Long time no see, little friend Mu, it seems like something happened during this time A lot of things.”

When she said this, she walked to a chair aside and sat down. Her beautiful black stocking legs under the luxurious white skirt were crossed and she sat with her knee-length snow-white boots dangling.

But his eyes never moved away from Mu Zhian's body from the beginning to the end. Instead, he looked at the young man up and down.

"No wonder Qing Emperor came to me to refine the Taixu Pill, hoping to restore you as soon as possible... This posture should be what you looked like a few years ago, right?" Luo Tan asked with a smile.

Does Yao Meng really want me to recover as soon as possible? Why don't I feel anything at all? She seems to be very happy practicing... Mu Zhian complained in his heart and said with a smile: "This is indeed what this junior was like a few years ago."

He paused and asked concisely: "Your Majesty seems to want to confirm whether I have the body of a three-tailed fox in my body?"

Luo Tan shook his head and said calmly: "I believe Qingdi's judgment is not wrong. Since she said so, it's okay even if she doesn't have to be sure."

Mu Zhian was startled: "If that's the case, why did you tell her that you wanted to see me alone -"

"Isn't this an obvious thing? The deal between you and me has not been concluded yet. I want to see you and confirm that your current situation is not natural?"

Luo Tan held her cheeks in her hands and said to herself: "Actually, I know you should be very confused as to why I have met so many natural furnace bodies in the past and never chose them. Instead, I met you a few times. I chose you.”

She glanced slightly sideways, even though her movements were casual at the moment, and her beautiful eyes were even more seductive, they still revealed a majesty that people didn't dare to look directly into.

"Your natural furnace is different from anyone I have seen in the past. Just like me, your natural furnace can continue to evolve. Even... your aura is richer than mine."

"besides--"

Luo Tan stood up leisurely, with her long cherry-like hair hanging loosely. Her graceful and tight figure was highlighted under the luxurious white skirt. A pair of sexy long legs in black stockings were exposed under the skirt. There seemed to be special patterns on the black stockings. .

A small section of tender white thighs is exposed between the hem of the skirt and the black silk thighs. The skin texture is white and dazzling, charming and alluring.

She stepped on a pair of snow-white boots, pressed one hand on the edge of Mu Zhian's chair, and put the other hand on his face. She leaned forward slightly, and a faint trace of light appeared on her stunningly beautiful face. smile.

"You are Qingdi's Taoist companion."

It's so weird that you are in the Hedao realm. Do you all have a common hobby like N.T.R... Mu Zhi'an silently stared at these magnificent eyes and the smile in the woman's eyes, silently complaining in his heart.

I have to say that this woman is indeed beautiful, but only Mu Zhian can express such emotion.

Not many people in Yuzhou dared to look up at the Medicine King, not to mention that she always had a sense of calmness and self-power.

A strand of hair slid down along her ears and fell on her red mouth, adding a bit of charming and lazy beauty.

As if she had just taken a bath, Mu Zhian smelled a faint medicinal fragrance from her body, which was sweet and quiet, as if she was slightly tipsy like a rare fine wine in the world.

After a moment of silence, Mu Zhian suddenly grabbed her slender waist, squeezed it gently, and was about to move forward and kiss her red lips.

However, at this moment, a green jade finger gently touched his lips. Luo Tan licked his red lips, with a teasing smile on his face.

Then, he spoke in a calm and dignified voice: "What's the matter?"

I don't know since when, there was a maid standing outside the hall. She lowered her head slightly, and the location of the two of them was in the corner, and it was blocked by luxurious stone pillars. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see clearly. .

"The Qing Emperor previously asked your servant to ask, if it is confirmed that Mr. Mu does have the physique of a three-tailed fox in his body, when will His Majesty plan to start refining the Taixu Pill."

As a confidant maid next to Luo Tan, Jing Xi naturally knew what Qing Emperor's purpose was this time.

Realizing that Mu Zhian was staring directly at her, Luo Tan licked her red lips and said with a smile, "Tell her that within three days, I will personally deliver the Taixu Pill."

She stared at Mu Zhian and showed a faint smile: "But whether he can refine it depends on his own ability."

…

Hearing the footsteps in his ears gradually leaving, Luo Tan looked at Mu Zhian's look of relief and suddenly whispered: "Is it exciting?"

"Actually, even if I was seen just now, it doesn't matter."

It doesn't matter to you, but if the news reaches the ears of other girls, then you may have to see me in the basement... Mu Zhian shook his head gently and whispered: "Your Majesty is the empress of Yuzhou after all. If word gets out that I have a close relationship with you, it may affect your image in the eyes of your subjects."

"It doesn't matter, junior, but it would be bad if it affects His Majesty's image. After all, the people under you seemed to be very concerned about this matter..."

"My servant?" Luo Tan asked doubtfully, "Who is talking about this?"

"It's not really a discussion. I just talked to the juniors about the fox tribe's troubles in the Dongzhou Dynasty in the past..."

Mu Zhian paused and forced a smile, "Forget it, it's not a big deal. Your Majesty doesn't need to care about it."

Luo Tan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Mu Zhian meaningfully.

Although Mu Zhian said that he didn't need to care, seeing him like this, people couldn't help but care about him.

After all, Mu Zhian was her guest. If the servants really gossiped about this matter behind her back... naturally she would need to deal with it.

Even the man she chose dared to make things difficult in secret...It seems that she has been too friendly to the servants around her in recent years.

Luo Tan narrowed her beautiful eyes, slightly restrained her thoughts, and said: "You seem to be a lot weaker now than before. After refining the Taixu Pill, I will have someone prepare some more pills for you to replenish your body."

Mu Zhian was moved, and immediately raised his hands and bowed, saying: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"In fact, my complexion should be much better than before. After all, I was outside the palace in the sun for half an hour before, and I should look much healthier." Mu Zhian smiled gently.

Luo Tan hesitated and said, "Didn't the servant I sent to pick you up bring you into the palace?"

"She said you were bathing and it was inconvenient to report, so she asked me to wait outside the palace."

Mu Zhian saw Luo Tan's frosty expression and continued, "Actually, the maid is a very good person. Maybe she was worried that it would be inappropriate for a boy like me to enter the palace when His Majesty was bathing, so she asked me to wait outside. She was thinking about His Majesty. Your Majesty, please don't blame her."

Luo Tan's voice was cold and cold, and he said coldly, "You are my important guest. If I can't even keep an eye on my subordinates and let the servants ride on the master's head, I'm afraid you will be uneasy even if you accompany me in Yuzhou in the future."

Before she could continue speaking, a pair of hands wrapped around Luo Tan's plump waist. The beautiful eyes of the Yuzhou empress flickered. She was about to speak, but the voice of the young man came first in this empty hall.

"Can you let me hold you like this first? I won't do anything."

Mu Zhian said softly: "Just holding you like this makes me feel at ease."

If the handsome boy before did this, it would inevitably be a bit artificial.

But it's completely different now that the delicate and beautiful boy is doing this.

For some reason, when Luo Tan felt the warm breath of the boy, her calm state of mind was inexplicably rippled.

She looked down at the big boy in front of her, stretched out her hand and gently stroked his soft hair, and said softly: "Then it's up to you, I'll have someone send you to the guest room later."

"In addition... um~"

Luo Tan's delicate body suddenly trembled, and she wanted to explain something else, but when she noticed the pair of hands that had begun to be dishonest, her beautiful eyes gradually blurred, and she glanced at him in a reproachful manner.

In order to achieve the best dual cultivation effect, Tianshengluding and Tianshengluding need another elixir, so she stopped Mu Zhian's "random" action before.

But thinking about it carefully, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, it doesn't matter as long as it doesn't develop to the last step...

In other words, it's fine as long as it stops before the last step.

The body of a three-tailed fox... If it can really evolve into a nine-tailed fox through the Taixu Pill, then Mu Zhian will be the first male cultivator of the 'nine-tailed fox' in the history of Jiuzhou.

In the past, people always said that the nine-tailed fox charmed everyone. I wonder if it can also charm everyone if it is a man...?

Luo Tan leaned on the side of the boy, his left leg on his right leg, swinging his snow-white boots, and staring at Mu Zhian with a more meaningful look in his eyes.

...

Really good, the black silk made in Yuzhou feels really good...

After communicating with Luo Tan in the hall for a while, Mu Zhian sighed at the texture of the black silk, and returned to his residence this time under the guidance of a servant. Along the way, he was still thinking about what happened in the hall before.

After entering a loft, Mu Zhian soon saw the maid and Yao Meng who had been waiting for him.

"How is it?" Yao Meng asked.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "Senior Yaohuang has confirmed that I do have the bloodline of a three-tailed fox in my body, but she said that whether it can be evolved through the Taixu Pill is still unknown, and whether it can evolve to nine tails is also unknown."

"The Taixu Pill can make your demon race physique evolve, but whether it can evolve to the extreme depends on you."

Yao Meng paused, looking at the young man with a smile in her eyes: "But even if you can't evolve to the body of a nine-tailed fox, it is enough for you to return to your original state, and even switch forms freely in the future."

Sensing a hint of relief and expectation in the eyes of this fairy, Wei Mengrou on the side couldn't help but curl her lips and express her disdain.

I really don't know why these people like the young master's current posture so much... Although it's because of the novelty, it's a bit too exaggerated.

"Sister Mengrou, what's wrong?"

Feeling the maid's disdainful look, Mu Zhian turned his head and asked in confusion.

"Nothing."

Wei Mengrou withdrew her gaze indifferently.

But in her mind, she couldn't help but think of the night when she brought the young master back to the house, when she was in a superior position and took control of the initiative, and even completely crushed him.

Wei Mengrou's pretty face turned slightly red, and she lowered her eyes slightly, maintaining her calmness, but her thoughts gradually became more active.

The current young master already has such charm. If he refines the Taixu Pill and is promoted to a nine-tailed sky fox... No, he doesn't even need nine tails. As long as he can evolve the body of the three-tailed fox again, then what will happen to his natural furnace? What has it become...?

Although there was a look of disdain on her face, deep down in the maid's heart, she felt a little more hopeful.

…

In the blink of an eye, three more days passed without realizing it.

Deep in the Daochu Palace is a huge open-air venue. The venue is shrouded in formations all year round, and even the most powerful Hedao cannot easily set foot in it.

In the formation, there is a bronze cauldron that looks quite simple and simple at this moment.

All things transform into qi cauldron!

This is the only alchemy cauldron currently known in Kyushu that is close to an immortal product. In the past, Yao Shan nearly died trying to obtain it.

And this cauldron of all things transforming into qi is indeed worth the risk.

After all, the immortal elixir means that it is possible to artificially create an Ascension Realm Human Emperor.

At this moment, Luo Tan was standing in front of the Cauldron of Transformation Qi of All Things with his hands behind his back, taking out the materials from the ring together.

Thirteen demon pills, various spiritual mines, even emperor-level medicinal materials that are extremely difficult to find in this world, and a bunch of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

There are too many materials required for a ninth-grade elixir.

As for such a material, ordinary monks may not be able to find it even if they spend their entire lives.

Only these powerful Hedao powers that stand tall in the world have been accumulated over time, and it took thousands of years to collect them all.

But even if the collection is complete, an alchemist who can refine ninth-grade elixirs is still needed.

At this moment, Mu Zhian was sitting in the main hall, drinking hot tea, admiring the graceful figure of the maid in yellow skirt next to him, and enjoying her disdainful and disgusting eyes.

"You are really lucky. If you hadn't happened to meet the Medicine King, there would probably be no other person in the world who could refine the Taixu Pill." Wei Mengrou said lightly.

The Ninth Grade Pill Tribulation was no less than the Thunder Tribulation when one was enlightened and promoted to Hedao. It was inconvenient for the two of them to go there, lest they be affected.

Only Yao Meng went there specifically today to protect Luo Tan from the ninth-grade pill calamity after she refined the Taixu Pill.

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled: "What are you talking about, Sister Mengrou... Although it is luck, it is actually also due to my own hard work."

If he hadn't been the one who needed to take the Taixu Pill, Luo Tan might not have been able to refine the Taixu Pill.

Wei Mengrou said "ha" and glanced sideways at the young master: "By hard work, do you mean sacrificing your own body?"

Mu Zhian coughed and said helplessly: "Sister Mengrou seems to have some misunderstandings about me..."

"Oh."

Wei Mengrou only gave her master a look of disdain.

She knew her young master very well. Although the Qing Emperor was powerful, he still had not figured out Mu Zhian's temperament. Mu Zhian had frequently been in and out of Luo Tan's palace these days simply because Luo Tan was refining the Taixu Pill. Need his 'assistance'?

Although she had never seen it with her own eyes, she felt it might not be possible.

After all, even those in the Hedao realm may not be able to resist the temptation brought by the natural furnace cauldron...

Boom!

At this moment, a loud roar that seemed to shatter the sky resounded under the sky.

Mu Zhian raised his head and looked at the place where the pill tribulations gathered, and said softly: "The ninth-grade pill tribulation has fallen."

"The Qing Emperor has now become an immortal and ascended. With her protecting the Medicine Emperor, there will be no problem. Don't worry." Wei Mengrou said.

Mu Zhian hummed, and then looked at Wei Mengrou with a complicated expression.

"Sister Mengrou, tell me, if I really refine the Taixu Pill, will it have any mutative reaction with the Tiansheng Furnace Cauldron..."

In the past, his natural furnace cauldron had a talisman given by the spiritual dragon to shield the aura, so the spiritual energy in the natural furnace cauldron was not obvious.

But you must know that the nine-tailed sky fox charms all living beings. In a sense, it has a very similar effect to the 'charm' of the Tiantian Furnace.

The natural cauldron will naturally attract the love of female cultivators. If this cauldron absorbs the efficacy of the Taixu Pill...

"Or you can choose not to refine the Taixu Pill." Wei Mengju said.

"When Emperor Qing completely controls the principle of time, he will also be able to restore you."

Mu Zhian shook his head: "The physique of the demon clan is already stronger than that of the Dongzhou monks. If I can become a nine-tailed fox, I can become stronger in the future, not just to restore my original appearance."

"What's more..."

He raised his head and looked at the fairy who had appeared in front of the palace gate at a certain moment, as well as a colorful elixir suspended in front of Luo Tan, and said with a smile: "Since the Taixu elixir is ready, how can we not The principle of refining?”

"What are you talking about and looking so happy?"

Not far away, the empress in a luxurious white dress walked over and handed the elixir in her hand to Mu Zhian.

"Nothing, just chatting with Sister Mengrou for a few words."

Mu Zhian took the elixir and looked at the colorful and crystal-clear elixir with some interest in his eyes: "Is this the Taixu elixir?"

"After taking the elixir, do I need to pay attention to anything?" He looked up at Luo Tan and asked.

"Same as ordinary elixirs, just absorb them into your cauldron and refine them."

Luo Tan said with a slight smile, and immediately couldn't help but look at the young man strangely.

Although she knew that Mu Zhian did have the blood of the three-tailed fox in his body, the thought that he might be able to possess a body of 'natural charm' after refining the Taixu Pill... When she thought of this, she felt extremely emotional for a moment. of subtlety.

This feeling is simply... completely irresistible.

After all, the nine-tailed sky fox can see through a person's weaknesses. If it is used for flirting... Luo Tan's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, maintaining her usual luxurious and elegant posture.

"I will protect you here, so you can refine the Taixu Pill with peace of mind."

Yao Meng stared at her with beautiful eyes and said softly.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly, walked into the palace, sat down cross-legged in a formation that had been arranged in advance, then took out the Taixu Pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

Time flowed slowly, and the two powerful men were outside the palace, quietly waiting for news from Mu Zhian.

"Does Emperor Qing think he can really fully absorb the efficacy of Taixu Pill?" Luo Tan suddenly asked.

"I don't know, but Concubine Shang Yan said before that he can be promoted to the body of a nine-tailed fox."

Yao Meng raised his head and looked at the sky that had gradually darkened and deepened at some point, but he felt a little more hopeful in his heart.

In the past, the nine-tailed celestial fox once shocked the Nine Provinces, and countless demon cultivators were willing to kneel before it.

But the Fox Clan is now gradually declining.

After all, if you want to cultivate to the Nine-Tails, you can't achieve it just by working hard.

It has been a long time since Jiuzhou has seen the grace of the nine-tailed sky fox. I am afraid that the demon world is also paying attention secretly.

If he can really cultivate to the Nine-Tails, he will be able to freely switch forms at all ages in the future...

I don't know when, the spirit beasts in Daochu Palace began to flee in panic, and above the palace, a faint pink aura seemed to be exuding.

The evil spirit is soaring!

Luo Tan raised his head and looked at the place where Mu Zhian was retreating, as well as the first fox-tail shadow slowly spreading over the palace, and couldn't help but whisper to himself: "It's begun."

…
