The story about Xingxiu Palace and Qingxuan Sect is one of the most talked about topics among the teahouse cultivators. Coupled with some memories of the original owner, Meng Zhou also had a general understanding of this legend.

Now, the large area including Cuiyu Lake is collectively called Qingxuan Territory, and is nominally the territory of Qingxuan Sect. But this is a new situation that has only appeared in the past eighty years. Earlier, these were all fourth-order areas.

The territory of Pai Xingxiu Palace.

Now all the second-level spiritual veins and above in the Qingxuan Domain, including the second-level top spiritual vein Jade Lake, and the third-level spiritual vein Qinglin Peak where the Qingxuan Sect's mountain gate is located, are all the private property of Xingxiu Palace.

However, due to Xingxiu Palace's strict standards for entry-level disciples, which emphasize the importance of excellence rather than excess, and rather lack than excess, manpower has always been in short supply.

Even the third-level spiritual vein Qinglin Peak only arranges for one or two members of the Jiedan sect to stay and take care of it for a long time, and it is used as a training ground for the disciples when necessary. There is almost no development and utilization of the spiritual veins.

Although the Xingxiu Palace's move was somewhat of a trap, but with the Yuanying boss sitting in charge and the number of Alchemy Formation monks in the sect being numbered on one hand, naturally no one dared to comment.

This pattern lasted for who knows how many years. But one hundred and fifty years ago, the overall situation suddenly changed.

The ancestor of the Nascent Soul in Xingxiu Palace died, and no new Nascent Soul was born, leaving the top power absent.

In order to protect the core fourth-level dojo and survive this most dangerous window period smoothly, Xingxiu Palace urgently recalled all the disciples sent outside and launched a large formation to seal the mountain.

A large number of second-level or even third-level spiritual veins instantly became a deserted land. From Qi training to elixir formation, all the monks went crazy.

After nearly seventy years of melee fighting, finally more than eighty years ago, five alchemy monks joined forces to occupy the third-level spiritual vein Qinglin Peak, established a sect, and Qingxuan Sect was born.

At the same time, the situation of the other four third-order spiritual veins that also "dropped" from the Constellation Palace gradually changed from chaos to clarity.

In order to digest the results with peace of mind and cut off the opportunity for latecomers to overturn the situation, the five strongest forces, including Qingxuan Sect, reached a tacit alliance and divided the boundaries to form five domains.

Cuiyu Lake, which was still in the melee stage of hundreds of families, had just one boss above its head, and was told that Cuiyu Lake was an important part of Qingxuan Territory.

Meng Zhou didn't know whether the Cuiyu Lake cultivators vomited blood due to this sudden blow. However, when this new wind blew, there had been endless fighting a moment ago. The Cuiyu Lake, which was connected vertically and horizontally, suddenly entered the "orderly and orderly" state.

A new situation of order, peace and tranquility.

The reason is also very simple, that is, it does not give Qingxuanzong an excuse to get involved in Cuiyu Lake.

The situation in other places with spiritual veins in the Qingxuan Domain is similar. Anyone who fails to complete internal integration before this time point will lose the opportunity to integrate with force.

Seeing that everyone was so obedient, Qingxuanzong, who regarded the development of Qinglin Peak and the hard work of practicing internal strength as his primary goal, did not make a big move and acquiesced to the current situation.

This also laid the foundation for the development of various spiritual veins in the Qingxuan Domain in the past eighty years.

On the one hand, everyone is working hard to grow, and on the other hand, everyone is trying their best to restrain their talents and avoid attracting extra attention from Qingxuan Sect.

From the bird's-eye view of Qingxuanzong, what you see is order and peace.

But for Meng Zhou, who was standing on the ground floor and looking up, all he saw was all kinds of misery hidden under the surface.

Meng Zhou quickly went through what he knew in his mind.

"Back then, Xingxiu Palace arranged for a monk named Yanzhuang to come to Cuiyu Lake to guard it.

Unlike those monks who like to be quiet, during the decades he guarded Cuiyu Lake, he had no less than ten official wives and concubines, and countless other maids and maids. In addition, the resources of Cuiyu Lake can be used by the Yan family.

When Yan Zhuang was recalled to Xingxiu Palace, the Yan family was already a huge immortal cultivating family with eight foundation-building beings."

Meng Zhou exclaimed: "Is it so exaggerated?"

The monk said: "That's not possible. First, they can and are willing to give birth, and they have the resources of the entire Jade Lake for their use.

It is no exaggeration to say that with such unique conditions, if you throw a few pigs in, a bunch of spiritual beasts will develop in a few decades."

When he said this, there was undisguised yearning in his eyes. If there was such an opportunity, he would be willing to be a pig.

Meng Zhou nodded in agreement: "That's true."

Then he asked with a puzzled look on his face: "That's not right. With such a start, the Yan family should have dominated Cuiyu Lake long ago. How can there be anything going on with the Mo family?"

The monk nodded, "It stands to reason that this is true, but who knows that the Yan family is not sane."

"How do you say that?" Meng Zhou asked.

"As the threat of Xingxiu Palace disappeared, a large number of monks poured into Jade Lake. The Yan family did not think about how to stabilize the situation, but instead started fighting among themselves due to disputes between their concubines and concubines.

The situation at that time was that there were four direct line foundation builders and collateral line foundation builders, but the direct line foundation builders were older, had practiced longer, and were stronger, so they wanted to take more authority.

The four Foundation Architects whom they labeled as collateral branches naturally refused to do so, so they recruited some Foundation Architects from outside monks to help out. With the number of Foundation Architects from the collateral sect becoming more powerful, the direct Foundation Architects saw that they were unable to do so, so they also recruited some Foundation Architects from outside.

foreign aid."

At the end of the story, the monk looked at Meng Zhou and asked with a wink, "What's the ending?"

Meng Zhou already had some vague guesses in his mind, but he still asked: "How?"

"The foreign aid that both parties invited to build the foundation became more and more prosperous, and gradually took root in Cuiyu Lake. However, the Yan family's foundation building died one after another. Today, a direct line died, and every two days, a collateral line died.

In less than twenty years, the original eight foundation builders and two new foundation builders of the Yan family were all dead."

Meng Zhou opened his mouth, feeling that the Yan family was really sick, and even a hand of Tianhu cards could not be played well.

But thinking about the gossips of wealthy families in previous lives, it seems that this is also reasonable.

Perhaps, when the conflict between direct descendants and concubines was broken out and became completely out of control, in the hearts of those direct descendants/collateral descendants, their hatred for each other surpassed everything else.

Even if you drag the other person to die together and destroy all your family property, you will never let the other person live to enjoy it all.

After thinking for a while, Meng Zhou asked softly: "The Mo family was one of the foreign aids invited by the Yan family when they were fighting inside?"

The monk nodded and said: "To be precise, it was the ancestor of the Mo family who helped the Yan family in their internal fights, and the other forces on Jade Island were all without exception. They all helped the Yan family in the past."

When he said this, there was something unspeakable in his expression, as if he was mocking and scorning.

Meng Zhou also suddenly realized that the first steps of several factions on Cuiyu Island, including the Mo family, to make a fortune in Cuiyu Lake were not glorious.

After all, this is two different things from killing the enemy openly on the battlefield. The local monks who are well aware of the dark history of this big boss family will not talk about it in a public place like a teahouse.

Meng Zhou thought for a while and then asked: "All the Yan family's foundations are dead, but some descendants of the Yan family are still alive. It has been more than a hundred years. Is it necessary to exterminate them all like this?"

The monk said: "The reason why the Mo family has been following clues about the remnants of the Yan family has little to do with eradicating the roots, but has another purpose."

"What purpose?"

"The Mo family has always suspected that the Yan family has some inheritance from the Xingxiu Palace."

Meng Zhouyi was stunned. He really didn't expect that this matter could be related to Xingxiu Palace, but after thinking about it carefully, it was really possible.

And even if this possibility is only 10 to 20%, it is enough to make the Mo family worry about it for a hundred years.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhou's heartbeat suddenly accelerated wildly and unsatisfactorily.

He thought of the strange "rope spirit" in his arms that was individually recorded on the panel, and of the carvings on the stone wall.

The monk opposite saw him standing there stunned and said, "Is it okay? Then I have to leave."

As he said that, he was about to pass by Meng Zhou. Meng Zhou quickly said: "The last one, let's leave like this?"

"Otherwise?" The monk looked strange.

"Aren't you going to do something to cover it up? Is the Li family just watching helplessly?" Meng Zhou asked.

"Otherwise?" the monk asked again in the same sentence.

"Well……"

"Caring about a family inheritance that was destroyed more than a hundred years ago is something that only the Mo family, who have reached the top of Cuiyu Lake, are qualified to consider.

The biggest wish of the Li family is to occupy Baiyue Bay without any major conflict!

Do you know why we knew this so quickly? The Li family hopes that we can escape completely before the Mo family arrives!"

After that, he walked directly past Meng Zhou and quickly disappeared around the corner.

Meng Zhou didn't do anything to stop him. After two or three breaths, he finally uttered: "Fuck!"

Then, he turned around and ran towards the stone wall of Yuewan Beach.

If the Li family reports the clues in time after discovering them, they can gain more favor from the Mo family and try their best to avoid their own suspicions.

What's more important is that by attracting the evil tiger of the Mo family, you don't even need to show your face to scare away the monks from the two streets who are "staying" at the end of the bay.

In order to learn more about Granny Bai's grocery store, people from the Mo family summoned some neighbors to inquire. Is it normal?

In order to ensure the credibility of your words, it is normal to use some means of revealing the truth, right?

More importantly, I went to the grocery store today and participated in the robbery. Is it reasonable to recover those lost classics in the secret room one by one?

If the people from the Mo family are kind enough, this process will not be impossible to complete, but this kind of feeling of being killed by others is something that no monk would want to experience.

What's more, if you place your hopes on the people from the Mo family being gentle and friendly enough... you'd better run.

Therefore, the Li family's wish was realized without bloodshed through such an opportunity.

Here, the Mo family seemed to be suspected of being used as gunmen. Perhaps, this was the reason why they had to pursue the fourth-level inheritance after a hundred years.

Although the Mo family is strong, it is not strong enough. Even within the confines of Cuiyu Lake, it cannot really keep its promise.

With these thoughts in his mind, Meng Zhou came to the stone wall of Yuewan Beach and said, "Hurry, we must leave before the Mo family comes."

Meng Zhou only gave himself an hour, put down the package, took out the ink and brush inside, dipped the ink in it, and quickly applied it on the stone wall.

A pair of magical hands picked up a piece of paper and placed it on the stone wall where he had just applied ink.

Because the surface of the stone wall is not very smooth, and there are obvious undulations in some places, the paper cannot be completely attached to the stone wall.

The two magical hands lightly touched the paper, not lightly but not too hard, so that the paper could stick to the stone wall.
