Jade Capital City, Scattering Flowers Pavilion.
In this elegant and sacred place, Su Mu, the most talented woman in the capital city, was sitting by the window of a high-rise building.
The entire room, with its elegant curtains and soft, fragrant fabrics, was clearly a haven of tranquility.
Su Mu used her slender, ivory-white hands to place a plum blossom in the vase.
Just as Su Mu was carefully arranging flowers, a gentle breeze lifted the canopy and seeped in through the window.
"Is that Little Crane? Recently, Jade Capital has become a melting pot of all sorts of people, with countless experts. You'd better be careful when using your Taoist arts." Su Mu didn't even turn his head, continuing to arrange the flowers.
The breeze stopped, revealing a stunningly beautiful woman.
"Greetings, Holy Maiden." After the woman called "Little Crane" appeared, she looked at Su Mu's back as he arranged flowers, bowed slightly, and said, "That person has appeared."
"Has it finally appeared?" Su Mu said, his hands still moving.
The plum blossoms in the vase were arranged in the shape of a distant landscape with overlapping peaks, creating a unique artistic conception.
Clearly, this Supreme Daoist saintess, the most talented woman in Jade Capital City, has also reached a profound level in flower arranging.
“That person is just a lone wolf, unlike Yang Tuo and Hong Xuanji, who hold high positions and great power. Little He'er, you are an elder of my Supreme Dao. My Supreme Dao is above all other Daoist sects. In our eyes, imperial power is nothing more than a symbol of authority that is replaced by succession. The divine artifacts of the state are nothing more than objects that can be played with at will.”
Su Mu turned his head and said calmly, "What waves can a mere Martial Saint with no power or influence stir up?"
"The Holy Maiden's teachings are correct," Little Crane replied respectfully.
Seeing this, Su Mu shook his head and said, "You were ordered to infiltrate the Crown Prince's residence, but instead of seeing through the true nature of imperial power, you were captivated by its tyranny and your Dao heart was clouded. You should know that when we meet, there is no need for any formalities."
Xiao He'er said, "Only the sect leader and the holy maiden can cultivate such a Dao heart. The closer I get to the imperial power, the more I know the terror of the imperial power, and I can't help but feel a sense of pressure."
Su Mu changed the subject and asked, "How is the Crown Prince's cultivation of the 'Future Unborn Sutra' going?"
Xiao He'er replied, "The Wusheng and Zhenkong sects that the Crown Prince secretly established are developing very rapidly. I have used all my skills and made every effort to finally gain the Crown Prince's trust. I am sure I can make him fail at the last minute at the crucial moment."
Su Mu listened without any change in expression and said, "Even if the Crown Prince masters the Nine Great Vacuum Dharma Bodies, it doesn't matter. The Master has his own plans, and it would be even better if he did. After he masters them, the father and son will fight each other, which will throw the court into chaos and make it easier for the Master to choose the Human Emperor."
"Is there a suitable candidate for sect leader right now?" Xiao He'er asked.
Su Mu said, "Master has not yet made a decision."
"What should we do about that person's matter?" Little Crane asked.
Su Mu thought for a moment and said, "Issue the Supreme Decree: whoever kills this person will be rewarded with one Earth Origin Spirit Pill, ten Human Origin Great Pills, and one copy of the Marrow Refining Manual."
The little crane should reply "yes".
In the Supreme Daoist classic *Taishang Danjing*, there are three kinds of divine medicines. The first is naturally the Heavenly Yuan Divine Elixir, the second is the Earthly Yuan Spiritual Elixir, and the third is the Human Yuan Great Elixir.
Among them, the Heavenly Origin Divine Pill is the pill of immortals. The Earthly Origin Spirit Pill is the pill of sages. The Human Origin Great Pill is the pill for strengthening the foundation. Each of these pills is beyond imagination, without a trace of poison or residue.
Legend has it that obtaining the Heavenly Essence Pill can grant one the status of a human immortal, while obtaining the Earthly Essence Pill can grant one the status of a martial saint. These are the supreme divine medicines that all martial artists in the world dream of.
When Lin Yi was in the small mountains outside Yujing City, he was not discovered because it was dark under the lamp. However, he was discovered very quickly after he left.
As the contents of the Supreme Decree spread far and wide, Lin Yi also came into the view of more people.
The sudden emergence of a martial saint, a martial saint without the support of a major power, has stirred up a great deal of interest among many people.
The Martial Saint is different from the Ghost Immortal. The Ghost Immortal can fly through the sky and disappear without a trace, making him impossible to defend against. Although the Martial Saint has refined his marrow to the finest frost and his blood to the finest mercury, he is still ultimately made of flesh and blood. He cannot withstand a kitchen knife, nor can he drink poison like water.
Lin Yi had no way of obtaining information. He was unaware of the Tai Shang Dao's kill order, and even if he had, he would have simply laughed it off.
The Supreme Decree did not mention that Lin Yi had an ancient divine armor protecting him. This is a very deep pit, full of malice.
Soon, some outlaws and bandits met their end at Lin Yi's hands.
Lin Yi was not a ruthless person; wherever he went, nothing was left standing. Everyone was captured and taken to the Lesser Universe to farm.
………………
"No biological parents, no empty hometown..."
At Lin Yi's feet lay a medium-sized, pale-faced Taoist priest in black robes who, with all his might, uttered eight words before dying.
After death, an invisible and intangible spirit emerges from the body.
Lin Yi's eyes flashed, as if he could see the invisible Yin spirit. Suddenly, he threw two punches, striking the two Yin spirits.
boom!
The inherently fragile Yin spirits could not withstand the powerful Yang energy and were directly blasted away, disappearing into the world.
"These lunatics from the Path of No Birth and the Path of Emptiness are really bad luck."
As Lin Yi spoke, he shook his head. Facing such fanatical believers who held the firm belief that "even if you can destroy me physically, you can't defeat me mentally," he felt somewhat helpless.
A few days ago, when he was gathering people and supplies to replenish the Small Universe Realm, he casually captured a village, only to find that they were followers of the Wusheng Dao and Zhenkong Dao cults.
Then came wave after wave of relentless, fearless attacks.
There were direct attacks, sneak attacks, poisoning, and many other methods. If Lin Yi were really just a Martial Saint, he would have been defeated countless times already.
Of course, if he were truly just a Martial Saint, he wouldn't leave Jade Capital City so easily.
