The warm and humid sea breeze landed from the floating sea city southeast of the Holy Fu Dynasty. With the salt and fishy smell of the Qishan Islands, it rushed through the narrow zone between the north and south rivers, plunged into the boundless crop fields, and scattered away a large amount of vegetation and fragrance. When it reached Pangshan, it became staggering, like a drunkard who could not distinguish the direction, hovering among the mountains. When it finally passed through the dense forests north of the mountain, it had lost its original aspirations. As soon as it confronted, it was defeated in front of the ice and snowy land of the monsters.

Zuo Liuying stood at the edge of the Old Ancestor Peak of Pangshan, slowly sucked in a little air, and identified fifty-three scents, including the unique fragrance of glutinous rice cakes in a small town on the north bank of the South River. It was a place he visited thirty-six years ago and is still vivid in my mind.

For him, the memory of thirty-six years was too short. It seemed like yesterday. After a little effort, he could even remember his fetal movements in his mother's abdomen. It was a narrow place to live, but at that time, he would rather stay in it forever than come out.

Zuo Liuying remembers everything he experienced. He was different before he was born - the Vitiligo gave birth to the Taoist bones. His parents were once panicked about it and invited dozens of emperors from the Nine Daotong. Everyone had the same conclusion: This is a natural genius who could practice Taoism in his mother's womb.

Therefore, when Zuo Liuying was born, she did not cry like an ordinary child, but sat in a cross-legged position, pressed her left hand on her nostril, pinched the sword in her right hand and pointed to the sky, looking at her parents who were crying with joy with a serious face. He directly passed the initial stage of opening the seven orifices and Tongtian Pass, and even completed the method of inhaling, reaching the realm of Guxia.

The genius' cultivation journey was smooth sailing. After a few years, he became one of the top ten leaders in Pangshan, in charge of the banned secret science, and led his disciples to explore the most mysterious and vast unknown areas of Taoism.

"The first seat, it's time to leave. The master has arrived at the Fozu Hall." A female servant stepped forward and said.

Zuo Liuying turned around, led by two female servants, walked around a locust tree that could reach the clouds, walked through the Burgundy Bridge, carved from jade, turned several bends, went down dozens of steps, and came to the place where Grandmaster Pangshan and the first people discussed - Wuzu Hall.

An elderly Qilin stumbled over and failed to stand firmly, and sat on Zuo Liuying's instep.

A female servant turned around and wanted to move the little beast away. Zuo Liuying shook her head and stood there.

The young kirin has not yet grown in scales. The corners on its head are just two small protrusions. It feels soft to touch, and its belly rises and falls like a bellows. It raised its head and screamed twice, tried five times, and finally stood up again and continued to stumble towards the other end of the courtyard.

Zuo Liuying loved rare beasts and was willing to waste some time on them, just as he hated the noisy mortals and was unwilling to deal with them.

He had only experienced a few times going down the mountain. Although he had left behind beautiful memories like the small town glutinous rice cake, there were more endless noise and quarrels. This almost became his nightmare. After many years, he still needed to spend a small part of his concentration to curb it.

Therefore, he felt redundant about the first issue today.

A group of children from the frontier towns inexplicably developed Taoist roots due to the invasion of the demon species. How should they be dealt with? Of course, they are killed, and the faster the better.

Zuo Liuying didn't understand why the Grandmaster was hesitating. It was obvious that this was a conspiracy set up by the demon species. Sooner or later, those children would become enemies of the Taoist dynasty. If it were him, they would have taken action in the town as early as possible.

But he would not go to the town. Zuo Liuying remembered clearly that he made a vow thirty-six years ago that as long as Pangshan was still there, he would never go down the mountain.

Zuo Liuying's dissatisfaction with the Grandmaster Ning Qiwei increased by a little.

The young man in the town immediately appeared in Zuo Liuying's mind with dirty faces, ragged clothes and strangely screaming wild children. This was part of his most dislike for the mundane world, second only to those terrible women who painted powder.

His two maids were all wearing plain long skirts and a simple maw was inserted on their heads, and there was no other decoration.

Zuo Liuying was the last to come to Wuzu Hall, which was his privilege. Master Pang Shan and the heads of each subject were all his juniors. He could occasionally show his arrogance and express his views indifferently in this way.

The futon in the first seat of the banned secret department is located at the first place in the master's right hand, Zuo Liuying sat on it, two female servants standing behind him, and he was also the only one who brought the waiter into the Wuzu Hall. Until then, he looked at the little guest today.

The twelve-year-old boy, with a slightly dark complexion, wearing a ridiculous straw hat, still had the smell of the mixed grass and soil in the forest, and the stench of monsters that had died soon after they died.

Like all the wild children who do not understand rules and politeness, the boy stood there straight, as if fearless, but in fact he was full of fear, but this boy was still a little different. He had just experienced many things, but he was not sad, but his eyes showed stubbornness and refused to surrender to any gaze.

Zuo Liuying only took a look and confirmed that this was a mortal boy who loved to cause trouble.

The master is the leader of the Taoist throne, so he naturally has to be the first to speak. Ning Qiwei stood up and nodded to the ten heads first, "I think all the heads have heard about the things, so I will only give a brief introduction. Thirty-four days ago, Li Yuechi, the Five Elements Master of Benshan, found a snake demon attacked by a demon species on the northern foot of Pangshan Mountain, so he followed it all the way and arrived at Yelin Town, thousands of miles southeast of five days ago. At the same time, fifteen days ago, a large number of demon species suddenly appeared in the ancient demon wasteland, divided into seven routes, and rushed straight to Pangshan."

Ning Qiwei paused for a moment, "The demon seeds are turbulent once a hundred years. This time it was a few years ahead of schedule, which is not a big deal. The Nine Daotongs and the Holy Talisman Dynasty worked together to basically kill all the demon seeds, but a little accident occurred in Yelin Town. First of all, the Five Elements Mage Li Yuechi unfortunately died. He was careless for a moment, thinking that there was only one demon seed in the snake demon's body..."

"So he died as he did." A female servant behind Zuo Liuying, the head of the banned secret department, suddenly interrupted.

Except for the boys outside, no one thought this was an rude behavior, especially the grandmaster Ning Qiwei, who nodded to Zuo Liuying and agreed with the female servant behind him, "If you don't learn well, the Five Elements Master should not be careless about such things."

Xiaoqiu glared at the waitress who was in the middle of the slumber, intending to defend Li Yuechi, but before going up the mountain, he received a clear reminder that he should not speak casually in front of the master and the heads, so he forced himself to hold it back.

"Li Yuechi committed suicide to resist the invasion of the demon seed. In extraordinary circumstances, he handed over the inner alchemy to a child and entrusted him to hand it over to me."

Ning Qiwei looked down at Xiaoqiu. His explanation was not so much for the ten chiefs, but rather for the young man in Yelin Town. "The devil seeds are harmless. If you encounter them for a short time, you will be breathing. If you have a long time, you will be controlled by the city. Li Yuechi does not want to take risks in such matters. This is a must-have preparation for being a five-element mage."

"Yeah." Xiaoqiu responded vaguely. He didn't want to reply casually, and then was accidentally persuaded to commit suicide.

Ning Qiwei raised his head, "Li Yuechi didn't know that a large number of demon species were killing Yelin Town, so he didn't expect a demon king to target his inner alchemy. The demon king absorbed the demon power and turned into a blue flower. He entered this son's body and infected a total of nine people."

"I heard that the Demon King appeared at the residence of a disciple of Luanjing Mountain." It was still the maid, she seemed to be arrogant because of her master and did not care about the authority of the master.

"Feng Ruhui, the Demon King is guarding near her residence and intercepting these teenagers." Ning Qiwei knew that he would pass this level sooner or later, so he remained silent when he said this name.

The first seats whispered, and finally Zuo Liuying's maid spoke, "I hope the Grandmaster will not be affected by Feng Ruhui when he makes the decision."

Xiaoqiu hated the maid even more. Although Ning Qiwei always wanted to let the demon-deep boy die, he did not do anything after all, and even brought them to Pangshan. Xiaoqiu respected Grandma Feng. It was the first time he heard that her name was Feng Ruhui, and he didn't like the maid's sarcastic attitude.

Ning Qiwei did not disappoint Xiaoqiu. He was Grandmaster Pang Shan, the lord of Taoism, and ranked first. "This is not the issue we are going to discuss today." He said, staring at Zuo Liuying sternly, reminding him that his attitude today was a bit too much.

There was no leader who dared to really question the master, and the maid was even more afraid. She lowered her head and thought for a while, and said, "That's right, what we are going to discuss today is him, an ordinary child who was attacked by the demon king, why did he appear on the Pangshan Ancestor Peak, instead of being ashes like Li Yuechi and turning into invisible?"

Xiao Qiu almost couldn't help asking the rude female servant, but Ning Qiwei came over and stood in front of him. "Anyone who is attacked by the demon species will either die or change. What's even more terrifying is the latter. Li Yuechi does not want to change into a demon, so he would rather commit suicide. But this child and the other eight children are very different. The Demon King did not leave any traces in their bodies, but instead gave birth to the Taoist bones."

"Everyone?" asked one of the first directors in surprise.

"Nine children, eight men and one woman, all have Taoist roots. Just the moment before, they were ordinary children, and in the blink of an eye, they became unique. This kind of thing - as far as I know, has never happened."

The heads whispered to each other again, and there was a little more curiosity in their eyes when they looked at Xiaoqiu. The two heads even stood up and walked to Xiaoqiu, reaching out to pinch it, as if he was a strange beast he had just sent. "It turns out that there is a Taoist root, and it's not long after it was produced, his body is changing." The heads who spoke shook their heads repeatedly. For those with deep Taoism, this was the most exciting expression.

Xiaoqiu was not aware of the changes in his body, but he could hear that the changes were a great thing, so he would not hide his emotions when he showed a happy smile.

"Nine people!" Another head of the house stood up, "Nine people in a small town have developed Taoist roots, which are more Taoist disciples than the capitals of some vassal states. This is simply a miracle. Do other Taoist priests know about this?"

"No other Taoist sects were present at that time." Ning Qiwei said, knowing that he had mastered the situation, "but a talisman master from the Longbin Society discovered the truth and wanted to rob. I must bring the nine children back to Pangshan immediately."

The heads looked at each other, nodded one after another, expressing their agreement with the master's choice, with only one exception, and the waitress spoke again, "This is probably also a kind of 'demon transformation'. The devil is good at using conspiracies and tricks. It may be to use this method to install traitors in the Nine Daotong. Unfortunately, Pang Shan was the one who was trapped."

"But there is no demon seed in his body, and even the demon king does not have such ability. He can hide the demon seed without any trace." A headman said, and he had firmly stood on the side of the master.

"We are not traitors!" Xiao Qiu couldn't help it, and poked out from behind Ning Qiwei, staring at the waitress angrily, "I don't know you, why do you always say bad things about us?"

The waitress became confused and speechless when questioned, and she couldn't speak.

"You can go down the mountain." Ning Qiwei did not stand on Xiaoqiu's side and issued an order coldly.

Xiaoqiu turned around and walked out. He really didn't understand what the purpose was to call him up the mountain without letting him speak.

The master and the heads knew very well that the Essence Hall was filled with various magical instruments, which clearly showed that this child who was directly attacked by the Demon King did not have any demon seeds in his body.

This is the premise of everything. Even if there is only a slight trace of the demon seed, geniuses are not worth keeping.

On the way down the mountain, Xiaoqiu was still angry and asked the little Taoist priest who saw him off: "What is the origin of that woman?"

"What woman? Oh, are you talking about the waiter of the head of the banned secret?"

"Yes, she stood behind a white-faced boy and was not polite to the master, as if she had to kill us immediately before she was happy."

"Ha." The little Taoist priest looked strange and whispered: "'Bai-faced boy' is the head of the banned secret."

"So young?" Xiao Qiu clearly remembered that the man had a handsome face and looked only seventeen or eighteen years old.

"The first Zuo Liuying is a genius who is rare in Pangshan in a thousand years. He has a root of the fetus. He is at least three or four hundred years old this year. Is he still young?"

"But he just let the waiter talk casually?"

"Genius always pays the price." The little Taoist priest looked back before he was willing to continue spreading anecdotes. "The head of the forbidden secret is a mute, and he can only speak to others through the waiter."

Xiaoqiu said a long time, no wonder the maid looked embarrassed at the time. It turned out that his anger was wrong.

The little Taoist priest's voice was lowered and he solemnly reminded: "You are in trouble. The head of the Forbidden Secret is Pang Shan's most vigilant person, and he is targeted by him... You must be careful in the future."
