Ruoruo is not one to make things difficult for herself. In short, once she was sure that the other party did not intend to harm them, she stopped thinking about things she couldn't figure out.
“What happened in the past is no longer important; what matters is what happens in the future.” Ruoruo clenched her little fist, looking out the window at the endless fields of medicinal herbs, her eyes almost shining. “We still have to stay in the Realm of Immortality for a while, so we can’t waste this time.”
With so many medicinal herbs of such high quality, she needs to refine some pills to stock up.
"The spiritual energy here is gentle and mild, which is quite beneficial for cultivation. The little phoenix has just transformed into human form, so it's time for it to go into seclusion for a while," Mo Yunlan said.
Mo Jinyan shook his head frantically: "No, no, how can I go into seclusion? I lose all my energy as soon as I leave Ruoruo's side. I definitely want to go out and play with Ruoruo."
What's fun about seclusion? Just practicing meditation all day long is boring and tedious.
"Don't worry, Third Brother." Ruoruo didn't realize that Mo Jinyan was just making excuses. Instead, she seriously planned for him, "After Third Brother took human form, the holes in his body have formed a cycle. You don't need to worry about spiritual energy flowing out and losing energy."
I've also refined quite a few pills to keep Third Brother alert and focused, ensuring he can properly cultivate in seclusion without falling into a deep sleep.
Mo Jinyan looked at the pills Ruoruo handed him, unsure whether he should reach out and take them.
Honestly, having a sister who's too considerate isn't always a good thing...
After his excuse was dispelled, Mo Jinyan was locked in the cultivation room by Mo Yunlan, who kept looking back.
"Don't come out until you break through to the Golden Immortal realm." Mo Yunlan chuckled and set up an array barrier on the door. Unless Mo Jinyan could stabilize his Golden Immortal cultivation, he would definitely not be able to come out.
When Mo Jinyan transformed into human form, he had already touched the threshold of the Golden Immortal realm. For a moment, he even showed a pseudo-Golden Immortal realm, making them think that he had broken through.
Unexpectedly, after a few days, when the effects of the medicine wore off, he was still at the Xuanxian cultivation level.
He, on the other hand, was in no hurry, spending his days hovering around Ruoruo, and didn't really cultivate properly at all.
Mo Yunlan was disappointed in him, but she finally gave him a chance to lock him up and make him cultivate.
Mo Jinyan angrily transformed back into his original form, his pointed little beak pecking at the barrier formation with all his might, but he couldn't do anything about it and couldn't budge it in the slightest.
"Chirp chirp chirp! Cultivation is cultivation, and this prince's talent is not bad either!" Mo Jinyan nestled in the futon, secretly vowing that he would cultivate to a higher level than Mo Yunlan and then lock Mo Yunlan up.
Don't think he doesn't know that Mo Yunlan actually wanted to monopolize the position next to Ruoruo, which is why he deliberately locked him up.
Having achieved his goal, Mo Yunlan happily took several spiritual herbs to Ruoruo, coaxing her into a good mood. Then, he secretly took out a divine-grade catnip and waved it in front of Ruoruo.
Ruoruo was instantly mesmerized and revealed her true form. Mo Yunlan happily kneaded and petted the cat for a while.
After the two siblings had finished playing, a maid brought up some floral dew. Mo Yunlan and Ruoruo each poured themselves a cup, and after drinking it, they comfortably lay sprawled out on the corridor.
The maid did not leave, but remained standing with her head bowed in the corridor.
With outsiders present, the brother and sister couldn't chat properly, so Mo Yunlan asked the maid to leave.
The maid slowly raised her head, her skin and muscles twitching as she revealed a strange smile: "I finally found you two, how can I accept leaving like this?"
Mo Yunlan immediately noticed the anomaly. He reached out and gripped the bow. Just as his spiritual energy gathered in his palm, the bow's illusory form vanished from his hand.
Ruoruo staggered to her feet, but couldn't muster even a fraction of her spiritual power.
“There’s something wrong with that floral water,” Ruoruo said.
The maid walked towards them step by step, her smile growing increasingly smug: "That's the dew of the Frost Red Lotus, how could there be a problem? After drinking it, it can soothe and regulate the meridians, it's just that it can't nourish the spirit during the soothing and regulating process."
Knowing you were skilled in alchemy, I knew you wouldn't have put anything poison in the flower dew.
Otherwise, she would be exposed immediately, and all her efforts would be wasted.
As she approached Ruoruo step by step, the skin on her face gradually hardened, and the lines became more and more obvious and rough, like pieces of tree bark being applied to her face.
The bark fell to the ground with a rustling sound, revealing a vaguely familiar face.
"Are you the human trafficker who betrayed your people?" She had a dispute with Ruoruo when she was wearing blue clothes in the Green Alliance of the Human Realm, and Ruoruo witnessed her using her people to make pills. Ruoruo had a deep impression of her.
The resentment in the maid's eyes grew stronger, making her smile appear sinister and ghostly: "Betray your people? No, I'm helping them. Rather than being kept in captivity in this Realm of Immortality until death, spending their lives planting spiritual herbs for the other realms, it's better to open the gate to the other realms and take the other five realms into our own hands."
Mo Yunlan scoffed: "Even the Empress of the Longevity Clan didn't think of this, yet you dare to spout nonsense. The Six Realms are currently relatively stable and peaceful, yet you want to start a war? What ability do you have?"
"Of course I can't do it." The woman's smile grew even more sinister. "Do you really think all the members of the Longevity Clan are willing to maintain the status quo?"
The message conveyed in her words made Mo Yunlan's heart sink slightly.
It seems there are still problems within the Immortal Realm. Even their own people are no longer on the same side, and many of them have developed desires and ambitions.
"You keep saying you're doing this for your people, yet you're using them to make pills for others. You're a hypocrite!" Ruoruo may be young, but she's not stupid. She doesn't believe this woman's words.
The maid reached out and grabbed Ruoruo: "Whether you believe me or not is none of my business. I just need to take you away and hand you over to God Mingye."
Mingye? Ruoruo hadn't heard this name in a long time and was slightly taken aback. Not only was he not dead, but he was actually doing bad things behind the scenes?
Mo Yunlan seized the opportunity, pulled out a dagger he always carried and used for shaving things, and swung it at the maid's outstretched hand towards Ruoruo.
The maid hadn't expected that they would still have strength after drinking this special flower tea. Caught off guard, her hand was pulled open with a long, bloody gash.
"Mo Yunlan!" she cried out in pain, her expression becoming increasingly ferocious. "You actually dare to lay a hand on me?"
She clenched her fist in the air, drew a long sword, and, seemingly in a frenzy, slashed directly at Mo Yunlan.
"Third Brother!" Ruoruo gasped for breath and cried out in fear.
The next moment, a pure white veil suddenly covered the two siblings, blocking the maid's sword that was about to strike.
The maid's face showed panic: "Moon Silk Gauze?"
She ignored Ruoruo and turned to run.
One end of the moon-patterned gauze flew straight towards her, tied around her waist, and dragged her up violently, slamming her against a pillar.
The queen's cold eyes flashed with anger: "Lan Huaying, it's bad enough that you broke into the palace, but you even dared to lay a hand on Ruoruo. If you had hurt her in the slightest, I would have torn you to pieces, and that would not have been enough to atone for your crime."
