The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 1060 Muddy Waters

When Matthew returned to the Jinding Sect, he had transformed into an old man again.

A few days later, a big event happened in Jinding Sect.

That was the return of Taoist Baiyun, who had only been out for a few days.

And he was seriously injured.

After Taoist Baiyun came back, he immediately summoned some senior officials in the sect.

A lot of things were explained.

It looked like he was seriously injured and needed to stay in seclusion for a while.

During this period, any alchemy matters were left to Mu Xuesong.

Moreover, the entire Jinding Sect’s formation will also be activated.

No one is allowed to leave the sect at this time.

However, Jinding Sect still gave its disciples seven days.

During these seven days, everyone can go out to do errands.

Or hand over unfinished tasks at hand.

This is considered more humane.

At this moment, in Matthew's courtyard.

Taoist Baiyun and Mu Xuesong stood respectfully in front of Matthew.

Taoist Baiyun's face was rosy and showed no signs of injury.

Everything before was discussed between Matthew and him.

The purpose is to take this opportunity to let Jinding Sect seal the mountain.

Previously, Matthew deliberately let Taoist Baiyun go out and then came back pretending to be seriously injured.

And he deliberately imitated Ghost Dao's technique to kill the pill-forming monk from the Spiritual Medicine Mountain, knowing that he had the blue bead on his body.

The purpose is to make the people in Lingyao Mountain think that this matter is the work of ghosts.

That blue bead is something similar to a shadow stone, and the effect is even better than a shadow stone.

The blue beads can record everything that happened before.

However, the death of an alchemy cultivator would certainly prevent the two major forces from taking action.

Matthew needs to burn the fire a little bigger so that's okay.

The reason why the sect was closed after seven days was to allow the other agents time to pass on the news.

What Matthew has to do is wait for those connectors to appear, and then kill them one by one.

In the end, the blame was placed on the two major forces.

"Let's get everything settled." Matthew said softly to the two people in front of him.

In the short time since he came to Jinding Sect, Matthew has become like a real master.

Although he didn't want to get involved in this matter, things had already developed to this extent.

He couldn't help but stop doing it.

"Back to senior, the news has spread, and now some people have begun to go outside." Taoist Baiyun said softly.

"Okay, then don't show up for now. Let me, an old man, go out again." Matthew said after getting up.

After saying that, he swayed a few times and then disappeared.

With Matthew's speed, he had already left the Jinding Sect in just a short time.

After Matthew left, Mu Xuesong looked at Taoist Baiyun beside him and said softly: "Ancestor, is there really no need to investigate the origin of this senior?"

"No need, I already understand the meaning left on that stone tablet." Taoist Baiyun shook his head slightly.

When Mu Xuesong heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he hurriedly asked: "Have you really understood the mystery?"

"Haha, that stone tablet is not something we can possess. How can I understand it thoroughly." But this time, Taoist Baiyun shook his head again.

This time, it was Mu Xuesong's turn to be confused.

Taoist Baiyun just said that he understood the meaning of the stone tablet, but now he said that he did not understand it thoroughly.

This statement is really a bit confusing.

Seeing the confusion on Mu Xuesong's face, Taoist Baiyun smiled slightly and said: "What is recorded on the stone tablet is actually not important to us. From the time the founder of our sect brought this stone tablet back to now, no one has been able to understand it. The mystery of it.”

"In addition to valuing our alchemy skills, the Ghost Gate and the Spiritual Medicine Mountain's real purpose is to covet the stone tablet. However, there are restrictions set by the ancestors of the past generations on the stone tablet, so they don't dare to mess with it."

While Taoist Baiyun was speaking, Mu Xuesong listened silently and did not ask anything.

Taoist Baiyun sighed and continued: "Jinding Sect tells me that so many things are happening here, but my ability is limited. It is better to seal the mountain directly and give us some breathing space."

"In addition, when the three years are up, I plan to let Senior Li take the stone tablet away!"

When Taoist Baiyun said the last words, Mu Xuesong's expression suddenly changed.

"Ancestor, that is something that our ancestors fought tooth and nail to protect, and it is also the foundation of our Jinding Sect. How can you hand him over to an outsider?"

Mu Xuesong's voice was full of anger and confusion.

Obviously, he completely disagrees with Taoist Baiyun's approach.

Regarding Mu Xuesong's attitude, Taoist Baiyun was not angry at all.

He reached out and patted Mu Xuesong on the shoulder and said: "Xuesong, I know that you have been working for the Jinding Sect all your life. But have you ever thought about the reason why we are suffering today? It's not caused by that stone tablet."

"Furthermore, although the stone tablet has an extraordinary origin, to be honest, it is of no use to us. It is better to give it away than to keep it and be remembered by others. Then spread the word about giving away the stone tablet."

"If there are still people who want to take advantage of us, then simply hand over part of the alchemy experience. Only when we have nothing else will they be able to rest assured and let us survive."

"Only by surviving can you have a chance to regain what you have lost. You understand this!"

Listening to Taoist Baiyun's heartfelt words, Mu Xuesong did not speak.

But the anger and unwillingness in his eyes were slowly dissipating.

After a while, Mu Xuesong sighed heavily and bowed deeply to Taoist Baiyun: "It was Xuesong who was reckless earlier. I didn't know about my ancestor's foresight. I hope my ancestor can forgive me!"

"Get up quickly, why are you doing this for the sake of the clan?"

Seeing that Mu Xuesong had figured it out, Taoist Baiyun also hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile on his face.

He only told Mu Xuesong these plans, and he only needed to tell him.

Moreover, this was just his preliminary plan. The reason why he told Mu Xuesong so early was to discuss the details with the other party.
