Ruoruo shook her head, her eyes filled with joy: "I feel fine, and I had a very enjoyable discussion today."
It turns out that preaching to others is such a joyful thing. Every time Master finished preaching to the Xuan class, she was a little angry. She thought it was difficult to teach her disciples.
Yun Fei was silent for a moment, then smiled slowly: "As long as you don't let them start refining pills, I won't be unhappy."
The reason why this junior teacher was so angry must be because the students' learning outcomes were too poor.
Ruoruo nodded in agreement: "You're right. By the way, didn't you say I was going to communicate with the royal alchemists? When are we going to the palace?"
Although she was happy to teach her nephew, she still had important business to attend to.
"Wait two more days, then we'll go," Yunfei said.
Ruoruo only felt at ease after dealing with Yunfei and obtaining the exact date she could go to the palace.
Mo Jinyan went out to check again in the afternoon, and when he returned to his room at night, he said with a very serious look in his beady eyes, "They are using forbidden techniques to refine pills."
"An alchemy technique that is forbidden for idiots to practice?" Ruoruo's understanding of forbidden techniques was limited to what Mo Jinyan said about them being extremely difficult to cultivate.
However, Mo Jinyan shook his head slightly: "No, it is the alchemy technique that is forbidden to all living beings."
Some people use the flesh, blood, essence, and soul of the immortal race to refine pills, hoping to improve the quality of the elixirs. Those vengeful spirits are fragments of the immortal race's remaining souls.
Ruoruo was silent for a while, then took out a bottle of pill embryos: "Last time I used the Demon Lord Qingxing and the blood pool of the demon race to refine this bottle of pill embryos... did that also violate the forbidden technique?"
She was acting in self-defense and to retaliate at the time. Even though she triggered the forbidden technique, she didn't regret it. After all, if she hadn't taken action, she would have been the one refined into a pill.
But... was what she did really right?
Even if Ruoruo's alchemy cultivation is high, she is still a young girl after all, and she will occasionally feel confused and uncertain about her own actions.
"You did not kill any innocent people." Mo Jinyan saw the confusion and self-doubt in Ruoruo's heart and immediately comforted her, "If you cultivate such forbidden techniques, you will inevitably suffer heavenly tribulation. Even the God of Green Wood, who extracted the immortal roots of three thousand fallen immortals to refine pills, was forced to retreat to the academy by karma and tribulation. You were not implicated by karma, which means that you did nothing wrong."
Ruoruo touched Kunlun. With Kunlun there, she was not afraid of the lightning tribulation. Moreover, she had never encountered a punishment lightning tribulation because of this.
"But if someone from the Qing Alliance used such a forbidden technique, why wasn't there any heavenly lightning? It's been very quiet these past few days," Ruoruo asked.
“We can go take a look tonight. The highest cultivation level in the Green Alliance is only a Golden Immortal,” Mo Jinyan said nonchalantly. “With your strength, you can come and go as you please.”
The brother and sister discussed it carefully for a long time and finally decided to go out and explore after nightfall.
It wasn't that Ruoruo wanted to meddle, but she always felt that things weren't that simple. The smell she detected was definitely not something that could be caused by such a forbidden technique.
As darkness fell, Ruoruo transformed back into her original form as a nine-tailed cat. She hid her nine tails, leaving only one exposed, and used array talismans to conceal her aura and scent.
To anyone else, it's just an ordinary little white cat, and relatively speaking, it wouldn't attract much attention.
The tiny cat with its chubby little bird makes it much smaller and easier for Ruoruo to come and go.
That night, Ruoruo followed the smell and the wailing she heard, and searched all the way there.
They didn't encounter a single person on the way.
"It seems Yun Fei isn't just telling us not to go out at night, but that everyone in the Qing Alliance shouldn't go out at night," Mo Jinyan said.
The cat and bird breathed a sigh of relief, but just as they turned the corner, a long knife came slashing down at them.
Ruoruo was so frightened that her fur stood on end, and she jumped up on the spot.
Four men, their movements slightly stiff, wielded large swords and slashed at them.
"How could anyone not even let a kitten go!" Ruoruo whispered to Mo Jinyan while dodging.
She cannot make a move yet; she must maintain her disguise as an ordinary cat.
After several consecutive slashes, the men became increasingly agile, and Ruoruo struggled more and more to dodge.
"What should we do about Third Brother?" Ruoruo asked.
Mo Jinyan gripped the fur on Ruoruo's neck tightly with his claws, observing the group of people from Ruoruo's back for a long time.
These people haven't uttered a single word since they appeared, and they're relentlessly chasing after an ordinary cat, which is completely unlike normal people...
No, it should be said that it is not a normal living being at all.
No guard team would dare to mess with ordinary cats. If they recognized that these were invading spirit cats, they should have sent word and called for backup.
“Something’s not right. These aren’t guards.” Mo Jinyan’s heart skipped a beat when he saw their wrists peeking out from under their armor as they raised their swords. “These are puppets. They have no thoughts or intelligence. Their cultivation level is between Xuanxian and Jinxian. Ruoruo, you should take action directly.”
Ruoruo immediately took a step back, drew her Wenshui sword, and slapped it directly at them. With a loud bang, the Wenshui sword didn't even break through their armor.
Ruoruo still lacked attack methods, and she dared not use talismans, as that would make too much noise and wake up others.
At this moment, Kunlun extended two vines from its wrist.
The emerald green vines, imbued with spiritual energy and vitality, burrowed directly into the gaps in the armor of the puppets opposite them.
"Sizzle..."
A sound like red-hot iron falling into water rang out, and the puppet armor slowed down again. They stumbled forward a few steps and raised their cleavers to strike Ruoruo again.
Ruoruo nervously tried to jump back, but the next moment, Kunlun's vines quickly retreated from her armor.
