Seeking the Purple Mansion

Immediately afterwards, she got up and walked a short distance behind Su Yao, continuing:

"Since the founding of Human Dao by the Human Sovereign, Five Emperors were his descendants. The three dynasties were all descendants of the Human Sovereign. The Xia dynasty was established by inheriting the legacy of the Black Emperor and the Human Sovereign Human Sovereign, the Shang dynasty continued with the virtue of the White Emperor and the legacy of the Human Emperor, and the Zhou dynasty prospered by inheriting the legacy of the Red Emperor and the Human Sovereign. At the beginning of each dynasty, the lineage of the Human Sovereign residing in the Fire Cloud Cave would send its resources, and the descendants of the Five Emperors would also come to help, what a magnificent and prosperous scene! But in the end, the nine Nine Cauldrons of Xia were buried in the dust, the black bird of Shang perished in the wild, and the nine bells of Zhou were shattered in the fire. Even the Immortal Truth who remained in the royal family could not save it in the slightest."

Yang Xiu then spoke up:

"During the late Zhou and early Spring and Autumn periods, many of the feudal lords, including the Qin state, were descendants of High Antiquity kings, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Most of the few families that were enfeoffed based on military merit had already declined by the beginning of the Zhou dynasty."

"Even though the Qin Emperor rose to power because of the Kan Water, he was still a descendant of the White Emperor."

Then, he gently shook his head:

"Dynasties rise and fall, and that's all there is to it. We who live in the mountains and cultivate our spirituality, as long as it doesn't affect you or me, why should we bother with their chess games?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Li Siyi arrived at the front of the hall with Yang Zhao and Li Xu, and was taken aback when she saw Su Yao standing in the hall.

Seeing this, Su Yao snorted coldly, returned to his seat at the head of the table, and said in a cold voice:

"Bring him into the palace!"

Upon hearing this, Li Siyi led the two quickly into the hall. After performing the rites, Su Yao waved his hand, signaling Li Siyi to step back. Then he looked at the two people standing in the hall, not daring to breathe loudly.

He couldn't help but think to himself that Su Yao hadn't originally wanted to recruit the two, since one was a Tusi clan member who had submitted to the Qingshi, and the other was from the family of the local magistrate. However, the Yang Household had made it clear that they would openly support the Pear Garden and provide them with conveniences, while the Li Household had said that they would be leaving office soon and would give Han Ziyi some of the intelligence and benefits they had accumulated in the area over the years. Furthermore, both families directly separated the branch of the two from the local area, with Li Xu's branch of the Li Household remaining in the area.

Only then were the two recruited into the family, and they were required to sever all ties with their Lineage.

But now, things are unpredictable, and it's uncertain whether the pledges of allegiance and intelligence benefits offered by these two parties are still of any use.

However, the disciple had already accepted the offer, and now the situation has changed drastically, requiring corresponding adjustments to be made regarding these two individuals.

Previously, there were concerns, which is why the Cultivation Method "Blazing Spirit-Nourishing Instruction" from the White Sand Lu Household was bestowed upon them. But now it has to be changed. Cultivating this Cultivation Method is ultimately not safe, and there is no guarantee that these two people will become completely one of us in the future.

So he began to speak:

"I have observed that your recent performance has been satisfactory. In a few days, I will go to Qixia Mountain to obtain a Cultivation Method Cultivation Method that is similar to the one you are currently practicing, so that you can switch to it."

He paused:

"Although the Cultivation Method you two are currently practicing are at the fourth rank, they are still somewhat lacking. Although the Qixia Temple also has fourth-rank cultivation methods, both its Secret Method and supporting Law Technique are more complete. You two should begin preparing to switch cultivation methods."

Yang Zhao and Li Xu were taken aback at first, but their tense faces finally relaxed and they showed joy. They then knelt down.

Yang Zhao kowtowed, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement:

"Disciple Yang Zhao thanks the academy for his kindness! Disciple will certainly devote himself to cultivation and live up to the academy's expectations!"

Li Xu followed closely behind, bowing deeply.

"Disciple Li Xu will diligently cultivate himself, take pride in being a disciple of Qixia, and never disgrace the sect."

Su Yao nodded slightly and gestured for the two to stand up.

"Now that you've joined our Qixia sect, you're family. There's no need for such formalities in the future. Siyi will arrange many things related to your relocation later."

The two responded in unison and bowed again.

Su Yao waved for the two to leave. They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with a mixture of excitement and unease, but their steps were much lighter than when they arrived.

Only then did he turn around and leave Embracing Rosy Clouds Hall.

After the two left the hall, Su Yao stood up, took the ancient sword "Zhengji" from the altar behind him, and then looked at Li Siyi:

I have a few words to tell you.

Li Siyi quickly stepped forward to receive the order.

Su Yao said:

"Take this sword outside the mountain, and someone will come to see you from the Great Void. Tell him to return to Qixia Mountain and retrieve the ' Vermilion Flame Condensed Truth Canon,' which is compatible with the cultivation methods practiced by Yang Zhao and the other three. Also, retrieve four ' Crimson Brightness Bone-Swapping Pill ' needed for the transition, and have the four of them switch Cultivation Method together. Furthermore, retrieve the ' Purple Canopy Morning Rosy Clouds Marrow ' prepared by Daozheng for me, as well as the ' Five Rosy Clouds Rising Yang Pill ' to assist in breaking through to the Purple Mansion and elevating the Immortal Foundation to the Spirit Platform."

He continued:

"Also, have him bring all the spiritual items and related pills needed for the five of you to break through to the Purple Mansion. For Ziyan, bring the ' Mystic Metal Hidden Rhinoceros Marrow ' and ' Six Subtleties Returning to Concealment Pill '; for Yunhe, bring the ' Azure Yi Returning to Origin Dew Dew' and ' Eastern Splendor Uniting Truth Pill '; for Ziyi, bring the ' Lord Hou Returning to Origin Crystal ' and ' Northern Dark Sea Unblocking Meridians Pill '; and for yourself, bring the ' Yellow Court Nurturing Truth Paste ' and ' Central Peak Concentrating Spirit Pill '; and for Xuejie, bring the ' Vermilion Mound Renewing Bones Sand ' and ' Southern Palace Refining Form Pill '."

Ignoring the shocked expressions of everyone in the hall, Su Yao continued:

"I wish to seek the Purple Mansion here!"

After speaking, he looked at Zilin and Yang Xiu:

"Could you two Daoist friends please have my Dao True Lord's messenger deliver a message inside the mountain gate?"

After a moment's thought, Zilin nodded and said:

"Then I will trouble you, fellow Daoist. I cultivate the Purple Qi Dao, and for this breakthrough, I need the ' Ziwei Condensed Splendor Liquid ' and ' Taiwei Facing Origin Pill ' prepared by the Laoshan Dao Lineage. I would be grateful if you could send me to Mount Lao with my token, and someone will deliver them to me."

As she spoke, she took out a purple jade talisman from her sleeve and handed it to Su Yao.

Yang Xiu nodded, took a golden bell from his waist, and placed it on the table.

"I cultivate the Dao of Profound Qi, which requires the 'Profound Qi Returning to Mystic Tribulation Body-Cleansing Pill ' and ' Profound Qi Guixu Paste ' prepared by the Golden Court Dao Lineage, as well as the needs of my three protectors. If I take this golden bell to the Golden Court, someone will deliver them. Thank you for your trouble, fellow Daoist."

Su Yao nodded slightly and handed Zilin's purple jade talisman, Yang Xiu's golden bell, and Zhengji together to Li Siyi:

"Go quickly and return quickly. Once you take your sword and go into battle, someone will appear to see you."

Upon hearing this, Li Siyi quickly took the three items and then turned to head out of the mountain.

Seeing this, Su Yao looked at Liu Yunhe and the others:

"You few should go back first and appease the disciple."

The group agreed and left one by one.

Seeing this, Yang Xiu also addressed his three protectors:

"You should all go back and rest for a while."

Then he looked at Su Yao:

"Fellow Daoist wishes to seek the Purple Mansion here; is this truly the case?"

Upon hearing this, Zilin also looked towards Su Yao.

After all, the two of them had followed Su Yao just now only to save face for him. Although Golden Ao Mountain was quite good, it was more than enough to provide the spiritual energy needed for several cultivators in the Purple Mansion realm.

But ultimately, it cannot compare to Qixia Mountain, the place where the Heavenly Venerable settled when he attained enlightenment, or to blessed lands like Mount Lao and Golden Court, or the grotto heavens of the two families.

Moreover, this place is protected by the Purple Mansion Formation. If someone were to harbor malicious intentions and try to shake the earth's veins, disrupt the Great Void, or forcefully attack the mountain gate while the group is in seclusion breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm, it would cause a spiritual upheaval.

Those people are probably...
