Magic treasure mirror

Chapter 23 [Visiting relatives and secretly investigating, joining the medicine garden] (asking for recommendation votes)

Naturally, it was impossible for the two of them to fly back with their swords, as they would definitely be robbed.

They first arrived at Wushi Mansion, then waited for a few days, and then went to another city with the city lord's caravan, and then changed caravans to follow.

The caravan is happy to have more monks traveling with it, so the safety will be much improved.

In this way, half a month later, they arrived at the mountain gate of Zi Yao Immortal Sect.

The Immortal Sect governs one hundred and seventy-three states, and the Shanmen is located in the "Ziguang Prefecture" in the middle.

This is a place where spiritual veins meet, full of spiritual energy, and most of the powerful cultivation families under the Immortal Sect are also located in this state.

Return to the Immortal Sect and submit the task documents to the Outer Sect Office.

Such a long-term mission of being stationed for twenty years earned him a rich contribution. With these contributions, he could not do missions for a year and only stay in the sect to practice.

Of course, the place where he practices is just a small house at the foot of the mountain, and the spiritual energy is not strong.

After handing in the task, Lu Chengtong did not go directly to the medicine garden. Instead, he left the sect first and came to Yuanzhi Prefecture where Cheng Tongru's family was located, and found Cheng Tongru's home.

The two originally agreed that if the other party dies, they will help each other take care of the family.

What's more, now that he is carrying the identity of Cheng Tongru, he goes home for a visit, which is what he should do.

Except for himself, Cheng Tongru and his family are all mortals.

His parents are still alive, and he is the fourth child in the family. He has an older sister, two older brothers, a younger sister and a younger brother.

Nowadays, all the men in the family are married and have children, and the women are married outside, and their ordinary lives are quite happy.

Cheng Tongru became a disciple of the Immortal Sect. Although he had no status in the Immortal Sect, he could just give his family some things and it would be enough for the whole family to live in wealth for a lifetime.

Lu Chengtong only left some belongings when he came back this time.

And not much was left, not even a single spiritual stone was left behind.

Mortals possessing spiritual stones will definitely cause disaster. Now their life is quite good. They are not involved in disputes in the spiritual world, have no illness or disaster in their lives, and can die in peace. This is the greatest blessing.

Staying at home for only ten days means being separated again. After all, there is a difference between immortals and mortals.

On the way back to the sect, he secretly changed direction and headed towards Luyang Prefecture next to him.

One of the reasons why Lu Chengtong and Cheng Tongru became good friends is that the two states where they were born are adjacent to each other.

This time, I came here to visit relatives, firstly to fulfill my promise, and secondly, to take the opportunity to return to my ancestral home and look for some clues.

Taking advantage of the darkness, he came to Juanyun Mountain and found that the original Lu family's mansion had been razed and a new, smaller mansion had been built with the word "Liu Mansion" written on it on the plaque.

What kind of strength, what kind of mansion they live in, this renovated courtyard is much smaller than the original Lu family, which shows that it itself is far inferior to the Lu family's heritage.

I estimate that it should be a family with only Qi Refining Realm monks or one or two Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

Lu Chengtong captured several slaves one after another, checked their memories with the magical power of [Enthralling Gods and Seizing Souls], and determined the origin of the Liu family.

At that time, the Lu family was at its peak, and all the vassals of the same month family sent their daughters to the Lu family to get married.

The Liu family is one of them.

After the demise of the Lu family, although most of the property was swept away, what was left behind was still a huge wealth.

Not to mention anything else, just the spiritual field on Guangyun Mountain is a rich inheritance.

Several families that were originally attached to the Lu family began to fight for it. In the end, the Liu family won. Lu Chengtong didn't care about the property left behind by the Lu family. After understanding the inside story, he came to the place where the spiritual field was.

Of course there are people guarding this place, but these people are only in the Qi Refining Realm. With Lu Chengtong's magical power, he can easily enchant them and make them fall asleep. When they wake up, they will not realize that they have just fallen asleep.

He came to the location of the wooden house where the previous family heads had been, calculated the time, and used the magical power of [circular light visualization] to project the past scene.

After searching three times, I finally determined an accurate time.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the previous head of the family, Lu Wuzhen, leading his people to fight, and saw the scene of Lu Wuzhen going to his death. He also saw the face of the golden elixir master, and remembered his aura.

With hatred deep in his heart, Lu Chengtong noticed a key piece of information.

This person knows about the existence of Shinto species!

He must have used the soul-searching technique on the Lu family members.

From the analysis of the current situation, this person has not obtained the Tao Seed. As a result, it is very likely that the Lu family disciples in the Immortal Sect are captured and killed by this person, with the purpose of obtaining the Tao Seed.

But he still failed.

The secret of Taoism lies in the treasure mirror.

Although the culprit of everything seems to be clear now, Lu Chengtong does not arbitrarily believe that there is really only one person who is the murderer.

Regarding the murdered clan members within the sect, he needed further investigation.

After gathering his mood, Lu Chengtong left here.

After he left, it seemed as if nothing had happened. To the slaves and the monks guarding the spiritual field, they were just in a trance.

After returning to Yuanzhi Prefecture, he returned to the sect by accompanying the Fucheng caravan.

It took a month and a half to go back and forth.

Taking the documents given by Pei Yuan, Lu Chengtong came to Youzhi Valley where the medicine garden was located. After being informed, he met Pei Zhang, one of the deacons here.

Pei Zhang is Pei Yuan's younger brother. He is much younger, only over 150 years old. Although he is still in the early stage of foundation building, he has reached the perfection stage and has a much brighter future than Pei Yuan.

He was wearing a green robe and his hair was neatly styled. He looked like a middle-aged man in his fifties.

Lu Chengtong briefly described his relationship with Pei Yuan, and then presented the document with both hands.
  After Pei Zhang finished reading the document, he smiled at Lu Chengtong and said:

"It turns out that you discovered the white fruit tree from the east. By coincidence, it was just brought back and planted in the medicine garden three days ago. In that case, you should continue to be responsible for taking care of it."

Lu Chengtong was stunned. He didn't expect that the thing he originally wanted to leave to Bai Yuan came back to him, but Bai Yuan left.

"Thank you, elder." Lu Chengtong said respectfully.

Pei Zhang was very satisfied with his title. By calling him this way, he took the initiative to treat himself as his nephew and nephew, making him closer and more likely to take refuge.

Medicine Garden is managed by four deacons and an elder. The four deacons belong to the three parties. Lu Chengtong was recommended by him, so he is his man.

Lu Chengtong calls him this, which means that he also understands his identity. He is indeed a smart man as his brother said.

"I heard that you are also an alchemist. With your qualifications, you can get started on your own. You do have some talent in this area. If you continue to work hard, you will be successful in the future, and you may be able to enter the elixir peak to work."

Spiritual Medicine Peak is a place that specializes in alchemy. It is the richest mountain in the sect. The handyman disciples who work there are much fatter than the handymen at other peaks. It is indeed a desirable place for people to go.

Lu Chengtong was a little worried after hearing this, thanked him again, and then followed Pei Zhang into it.
