"There's no need to be polite between us brothers. But the most urgent thing now is to return to our sect and give this pill to our master so that he can recover as soon as possible." Wei Xiaobao patted Bai Taiguan on the shoulder and urged him to set off together.

Bai Taiguan nodded and replied, "Well, let's go back to our sect as soon as possible!" As he said that, he used his "God-like Speed" lightness skill and took Wei Xiaobao to walk around in twists and turns on Cuihua Mountain.

According to Bai Taiguan, the Iron Sword Sect has always been regarded as a thorn in the side of the imperial court.

Their great master Mu Sangzi, their great uncle Yu Zhenzi and their master Jiunan are all wanted criminals by the imperial court.

Therefore, Mu Sangzi specially invited masters to set up a large number of maze formations at the entrance of the sect to protect the safety of the sect.

If there is no internal support, it would be harder for outsiders to go up the mountain than to climb to the sky.

Bai Taiguan continued, "Our Iron Sword Sect has always been at the center of controversy, so there are so many maze formations. And the reason why Patriarch Mu Sang set up a chess game at the mountain gate is to allow visitors to prove their abilities first. Only those who break through the game can be received and enter the sect."

Wei Xiaobao nodded to show that he understood. He was secretly glad that he had solved the chess game by accident, otherwise it would take a lot of effort to enter the Iron Sword Gate.

Along the way, Bai Taiguan gave Wei Xiaobao a detailed introduction to the sect's situation.

Wei Xiaobao learned that in addition to his master Jiunan, there was also Tongchui and a mute servant, the Mute Grandma.

The mute old woman was brought out from the palace by the master. Although she cannot speak, she is very loyal.

In addition, Second Senior Brother Gan Fengchi and Junior Sister Lu Siniang have gone down the mountain to do some work and are not on the mountain for the time being.

A quarter of an hour later, the two climbed up to Cuihua Peak. On the peak was a Taoist temple, which was also the headquarters of the Tiejian Sect. The Taoist temple was not big, with a main hall, two side halls and some residential houses.

On the top of the mountain, the view is extremely broad. Looking into the distance, you can see the undulating mountains in the distance, one peak after another, which is beautiful beyond words.

Below the mountain, there is a shroud of clouds and mist, and the sea of ​​clouds is rolling endlessly, rolling forward like surging waves.

The mountains in the distance are looming in the sea of ​​clouds, as if you are in a mysterious and magnificent painting.

The sunlight penetrates the clouds, casting golden light, making the entire picture as beautiful as a fairyland on earth.

At this time, Master Jiunan was chanting scriptures in the side hall.

Jiunan was the second daughter of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. She was named Princess Changping and was born in 1629. Before Chongzhen hanged himself in 1644, he wanted to kill the 15-year-old Taiping with a sword, but he only cut off his left arm and fainted. He was later rescued by a eunuch and hidden in a temple. Later, she became a nun and was named Jiunan. By chance, she saved Taoist Musang. Musang, who never accepted disciples, appointed Jiunan as his successor and made him the third-generation master of the Iron Sword Sect.

Today, Jiunan should be only 47 years old, but the family feuds and national hatreds she carries, coupled with the pain she has suffered in recent years, have made Jiunan look much older, with white hair and wrinkles all over her face, just like an old woman in her seventies or eighties.

As soon as Wei Xiaobao entered the room, he saw Master Jiunan chanting scriptures, but his old face shocked him. The master was completely different from a few years ago, and his head full of white hair told of the bitterness of these years.

"Master, look who's here!" Bai Taiguan walked into the hall excitedly and couldn't wait to report to Master Jiunan.

When Master Jiunan heard the voice, she stopped the wooden fish in her hand, raised her head slightly, a trace of surprise appeared on her face, and asked softly, "Xiaobao?"

"Hello, Master! Xiaobao greets you!" Wei Xiaobao walked quickly to Master Jiunan and bowed respectfully.

"You...you are really Xiaobao? Didn't A Ke say that you had died of illness?" Master Jiunan looked at Wei Xiaobao in surprise, her eyes full of confusion and disbelief.

"Master, I'm sorry to have worried you. I was just faking my death. I took a stroll in the King of Hell's Palace and came back." Wei Xiaobao said with a smile.

Jiunan nodded, with a relieved smile on her face: "I'm glad you're okay. Did you see A Ke?"

Wei Xiaobao nodded and replied, "Master, I have seen him. I have also seen Junior Sister Lu Siniang. I have taken them both to Ryukyu. They are now in seclusion for cultivation, so they did not come together."

Jiunan frowned and asked in confusion: "Ryukyu Kingdom? Why did you go so far away?"

Wei Xiaobao smiled and began to talk about what had happened in the past few years.

Jiunan was filled with emotion after hearing what Wei Xiaobao said. She remembered that when she first met Wei Xiaobao, she felt that he was different from others. Now it seems that her judgment was not wrong.

"Okay, you really didn't make the master wrong. The first time I saw you, I knew you were a rare talent. Although I don't like A Ke, I was the one who raised her since she was a child. She has had many tribulations in her life, and only you can resolve them. So regardless of whether she is willing or not, I insist on marrying her to you. It is her blessing that she can follow you." Jiunan said.

Wei Xiaobao looked at Jiunan with gratitude, as he was fully aware of his master's love and expectations for him.

Jiunan stood up after she finished speaking, revealing the sleeping child beside her. With a trace of reluctance and helplessness in her eyes, she said softly, "This is your child Tongtong, who is already two and a half years old. My health is not as good as before, and I can no longer take care of him. This time you come here, you can take him back to raise him."

Bai Taiguan, who was standing by, saw that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, and quickly interrupted, "Master, this time, Senior Brother came here to ask for an elixir specifically for you."

As he spoke, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and carefully handed it to Jiunan.

Jiunan took the porcelain bottle and looked at Wei Xiaobao with a puzzled look, as if asking him what it was.

Wei Xiaobao smiled and explained: "Master, this is a healing pill used by cultivators. Although it cannot bring a person back to life, it can make ashes grow colder and dry bones grow flesh."

Jiunan heard this, and a trace of surprise and emotion flashed in her eyes. She knew that the immortal pills of cultivators were extremely precious and difficult for ordinary people to obtain. She said with emotion: "The immortal pills of cultivators are really powerful. How did you get such a precious thing?"

Wei Xiaobao smiled and replied, "Master, don't worry. For others, it is as difficult as fishing for a dragon to get a phoenix, but it is not difficult for me. Because this pill is made by me, the quantity is not scarce, you don't have to worry."

"What? You made this elixir yourself? Are you a cultivator?" Jiunan asked excitedly, his voice so loud that it echoed throughout the room.

Wei Xiaobao smiled and nodded, then heard Master Jiunan ask again: "You just said that A Ke and Lu Siniang were in seclusion practicing, are they also practicing Taoism?"
