Chapter 66: Strange Road Star Shifts to the Past Xinyi was shocked when he saw the compass. How could such an item be in the hands of this little peak master? He forced himself to look at Lingxiang calmly. He saw the moonlight shining on her back. There was no light in the room, so he couldn't see the expression on her face. Xinyi was immediately filled with murderous intent. He stood up and looked at Lingxiang warily, his face full of murderous intent. But Lingxiang didn't seem to care at all. She just smiled and said: "So, let's start from the beginning." …… Tu Mi was originally a wandering immortal cultivator. No one knew her family background or who her master was. All everyone knew was that she was a fairy-like woman who saved people’s lives, a woman who people would never forget once they saw her. However, this kind of woman is a person who lives anywhere, without a fixed place to stay. If there is a disaster or trouble somewhere, she will go there. People only know this person, but they don't know where to go if they want to find her. After accidentally obtaining a rare magical treasure, she began to devote herself to making elixirs and medicines in the hope of saving people from suffering in that chaotic era. But day after day, year after year, he had seen the fickleness of the world, knew the wickedness of human nature, and was no longer keen on saving people from suffering. But he just couldn't give up the rare and precious fruits in this mortal world, so he traveled through mountains and forests all year round, devoting himself to studying the art of alchemy.
One day, she will be able to refine an elixir that can bring the dying back to life. However, the ingredients of this medicine are rare, it is difficult to refine, and it has only been out for a short time. Even Tumi herself does not know how effective it is. Just as the demon world was undergoing a change, the Demon Lord suddenly passed away, and in the struggle for power, his most beloved son became a victim. Fortunately, his subordinates were loyal and risked their lives to send him back to the human world. But at this time he was already seriously injured, and when he was dying, Tu Mi happened to pass by while collecting herbs, so she rescued him. After taking the new medicine, the son of the demon clan actually came back to life, and after recuperating for some time, his body returned to normal. This made Tumi very excited. Seeing its excellent effect, she named it: Life-extending pill! …… Lingxiang paused deliberately after narrating this point and looked at Xinyi, but Xinyi did not react at all and remained motionless half-kneeling on the bed. Seeing him like this, Lingxiang began to speak slowly again. …… The cause of the chaos and disputes at that time was the advent of the evil beast Zhu Yan. After the Yuanqing sect learned of this, the leader took five disciples to subdue it. But it was the soul of an ancient ferocious beast after all. Although it was destroyed after seven days of fighting, Sect Leader Yuanqing suffered fatal injuries while trying to save his disciples. It was about to return to the void, and even Sect Leader Yuanqing was helpless. At this moment, Fairy Tumi brought the son of the demon clan to the door and saved the head of the Yuanqing sect. Patriarch Yuan Qing was grateful for her saving his disciple, so he gave her Qingwei Peak, which was the most abundant in spiritual plants in the sect. As she was also tired of the world's disgrace, she gladly stayed there. Unexpectedly, Fairy Tumi lived in Yuanqing for a long time and actually fell in love with the head of Yuanqing. They got along well and soon got married. The son of the demon clan had always intended to kill Tu Mi but had never revealed it. When he saw the two of them like this, he became furious and returned to the demon world. At that time, there were three demon-killing families in the mortal world. They heard about the life-extending elixir from somewhere, so they came to ask for it. It happened that Fairy Tumi was refining a new recipe, and she was pregnant, so they gave it to her generously. The three family heads thought they had found a treasure, so they went home to keep it well, but they didn't know that it would bring them a calamity in the future. Besides, the son of the demon clan returned to the demon world and took back power within three years. He was still obsessed with Fairy Tumi, and when he heard that Fairy Tumi had given birth to a daughter for Master Yuanqing, he was so angry that he returned to Yuanqing Sect one day. It was this incident that nearly caused Yuan Qing to destroy his sect.
But just when he was about to kill them all, he was injured for unknown reasons and had to withdraw from Yuanqing. But this time the injury was difficult to recover. After hearing that the three demon-killing families had asked for the life-extending pill, he sent people to seize the pill and massacred the three families. …… "These three families are the Gaoling Qiao family, the Nanhuai Long family and..." Lingxiang seemed to deliberately drag out the sound, "the Youlu Lu family." Xinyi seemed to be touched when she heard this, and a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes. And it was at this moment that Lingxiang captured it. "After the incident with the Yuanqing faction, the powerful people of the Qiao family predicted this disaster. The Long and Qiao families were old friends, so the Long family entrusted the important things in their home to the Qiao family, and the Qiao family included them in the dowry of their unmarried daughter and sent them away. The Youlu family was attacked before they could be prepared." Lingxiang said as she jumped down from the window. "But when the government officials were cleaning up the mess, they found something wrong," Lingxiang looked at Xinyi motionlessly, "The Lu family clearly had an only son, but although there were a similar number of victims, the person in the arms of one of the women was a girl." "And the only son's name is Lu Xingyi." Lingxiang looked at Xinyi and spoke these words word by word. After hearing these words, Xinyi felt as if all his strength had been taken away. All the murderous aura in his body disappeared, and he slumped down on the bed. It was a long time before he spoke. "The one who massacred the Lu family was Bai Wuchang. That day was the Mid-Autumn Festival. My mother and I went to the street and escaped death. When we came back, we saw only a mess. But we didn't expect that the demon soldiers would return and take me and my mother to Bai Wuchang." Sure enough. Lingxiang thought so and said, "The double-blade monk outside the Taishang Sect must be you. Although your face is covered, I still remember your features." "That's right." Xinyi did not refuse. "Why did you try to rob and kill me that day?" Lingxiang asked. "This is Bai Wuchang's order. As far as I know, the Demon Lord only got two life-extending pills back then, and he has been sending people to secretly look for the third one over the years. When he saw you using the pill in Taishang Sect that day, he thought you might have it." "I do have one," Ling Xiang said, sitting on a stool in the room, "but I made it myself. Besides, I already fed one to Lu Ying at that time. How do you know there will be another one?" "I didn't know that the pill you gave Lu Ying was the life-extending pill. All I knew was the golden pill that Bai Wuchang mentioned." Lingxiang laughed when she heard that. "If it's gold, it's top quality. There are countless golden pills in the world, how can he know which one it is? After all, he's a member of the demon clan, and a counselor, but he doesn't even have this much knowledge." As he said this, he turned around and picked up the compass and threw it to Xinyi. "You may wonder why I have this thing, but I just happened to see it when you were in Yinyu Mountain that day." Xinyi looked at the compass surface that was messed up by the talismans painted on it with cinnabar, and she felt extremely confused. "Then why don't you stop it and let this summoning formation gain power?" "I am testing you to see if you still have any goodness in you." Lingxiang said as she stood up. "So I will distribute different talismans to you. I am betting, betting on you." "What does this mean?" Xinyi was very confused. She looked up at Lingxiang, but saw her walk to the window and look out. "Tumi... is my mother." (End of this chapter)
