Chapter 298 But She Has the Longevity Pill
The female cultivator had never taken any anti-aging elixirs, and her hair and eyebrows had already turned completely white. She was constrained by her lifespan, and her brows showed a look of indifference to life and death.
However, due to his cultivation in the Jindan stage, there are no wrinkles on his face. From a distance, he looks like an old man with a youthful face.
"Big Eyes, is this what you said, the Young Master of Tianji Pavilion, the current leader of Yuling Sect?" The female cultivator in the Jindan stage still had doubts about Bai Lan's identity, with a hint of doubt in her tone.
The Cheng family patriarch coughed lightly, looked at Bai Lan, and nodded: "Yes, Master, this is my mother, Monk Luli."
Bai Lan cupped his hands: "Senior Lu."
Lu Li chuckled: "My friend, you are so calculating. You deceived a Jindan stage cultivator with just your words."
Bai Lan raised his eyebrows and secretly pinched the Nascent Soul Stage Full Strength Attack Talisman in his hand: "Why do you say that, Senior Lu?"
"The Falling Sun Absolute Flame Technique has very little in common with the True Yang Technique passed down from our Cheng family. They are both fire-based techniques, so there is a subtle connection between them." Lu Li smiled and said, "Big Eyes is dull, but I am not stupid."
The head of the Cheng family touched his nose with embarrassment and dared not say anything more.
Bai Lan had the talisman on him, so he was not panicked. He just nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, the head of the Cheng family is an honest man, and he is kind to others. It is within my expectation that I could not find the key point for a while."
Cheng family head: "......"
"So, my friend, you promised my Cheng family a heavenly-grade technique and twenty-five foundation-building pills. What exactly do you want to do?" Lu Li just had doubts.
Even if she was unwilling, it was too late. The head of the Cheng family had already handed over a wisp of his soul, and she didn't even have the chance to stop him.
Things have come to this point, and Lu Li is powerless to save the situation. She just wants to know what Bai Lan's purpose is, so that he won't destroy the entire Cheng family in the end.
Bai Lan said nothing, but took out a medicine bottle and handed it to the female cultivator in front of him with a smile: "Before the negotiation, I want to add another bargaining chip, a sixth-level longevity pill. After taking it, you can extend your life by thirty years."
Lu Li's expression changed, eagerness flashed across his eyes, and his breathing became rapid.
She guessed that Bai Lan had refined the longevity elixir, but she didn't expect Bai Lan to give the elixir so easily.
"Before I tell you my intention, I have to tell you two some bad news." Bai Lan smiled and pointed to the Qingxia Valley in the distance.
Lu Li looked puzzled: "Qingxia Sect? What does that mean?"
"Before coming to Hongyan City, I knew there were three major forces here, namely Cheng, Li, and Qingxia Sect, among which Qingxia Sect was the strongest."
In addition to Qingxia and Yunxia, the Qingxia Sect also has two elders in the Jindan stage.
"That's true." Lu Li nodded slightly.
“Not long ago, the leaders of Qingxia Sect, True Man Qingxia and True Man Yunxia, got the opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul stage in a secret realm, and both broke through the Nascent Soul stage. Now, Qingxia Sect has two Nascent Soul masters.”
Lu Li and Cheng Dayan were both stunned.
One Nascent Soul cultivator is enough to crush the Cheng and Li families, but Qingxia Sect has produced two in a row?
How come they didn't know this news!!! How did Bai Lan know about it!?
"Not long ago, the Hehuan Sect rebelled against the righteous path, and the five major sects in the cultivation world were reduced to only four major sects. Can you two guess whether the Qingxia Sect has any intention of replacing the Hehuan Sect now?"
Lu Li fell into deep thought.
How could it be possible not to have one? If she had broken through to the Nascent Soul level, she would also want to win the title of one of the four major families for the Cheng family.
But when there are two people who have reached the Jindan stage in the sect, Qingxia Sect becomes the local tyrant.
But once there are two Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect, Qingxia Sect will be like having two coiled dragons, with unlimited prospects. Naturally, they will not be willing to continue to be a small second-rate sect here.
"Senior, please think about it again. If Qingxia Sect intends to be promoted to one of the five major sects, how could it miss the ready-made good resources of the two families in Hongyan City? How should the Cheng family deal with it then..." Bai Lan stopped talking and when he saw Lu Li's expression change, he said no more.
Bai Lan didn’t know whether Qingxia Sect had this idea.
But she has, and she has acted on it.
"My friend, even if the Qingxia Sect intends to annex the Cheng family, your Yuling Sect seems to be quicker to act." Lu Li said in a gloomy voice.
Her life span is drawing to an end, so she secludes herself every day, ignoring everything else outside, hoping only to find a chance to advance to the late Jindan stage and extend her lifespan.
However, he did not expect that during the period of his retreat, his eldest son would sell him and the Cheng family out in the blink of an eye.
“Even the four major sects today may not be able to give you the chips I offer.” Bai Lan said, weighing the medicine bottle in his hand.
Lu Li's eyes warmed up.
After practicing for several years, he reached the Jindan stage, but his lifespan ran out one day and he was unable to reach the Yuanying stage.
Who doesn’t want to live if they can!
Longevity pills were hard to come by, and twenty-five foundation-building pills were an astonishing number. Moreover, she had also promised a mid-grade spiritual vein for the Cheng family's cultivators to practice.
But joining a sect and enjoying its resources also means taking on corresponding risks.
If the sect has a mortal enemy, they will also take action.
The female cultivator in front of him had already reached the foundation-building stage at a young age. Her methods were extremely strange, and her actions were even more unconventional... She was the type that easily attracted enemies.
Lu Li had a hunch that if they joined the Yuling Sect, they would not be able to live as peacefully as they were now. The female cultivator in front of him might have provoked some powerful force that was not easy to deal with, so she was trying every means to strengthen herself in order to protect herself.
......But anyway, she has the life-extending elixir.
If it weren't for the life-extending elixir, she would surely die in three months. Now that Bai Lan can extend her life for another thirty years, it doesn't matter if she gives up her soul!
A wisp of soul in exchange for thirty years of life is worth it.
"I can promise you, but the leader also needs to swear an oath and promise the Cheng family one thing." Lu Liwei sighed and finally gave up his principles for the longevity pill.
"Please say."
“If the Yuling Sect encounters a disaster in the future, I hope that the leader will remember to preserve a spark of fire for the Cheng family so that they don’t end up being wiped out.” Lu Li has already considered the worst outcome.
"hiss."
Bai Lan fell silent for a rare moment.
Why did Lu Li consider what would happen after the extermination of her clan when she first joined the Yuling Sect? Does she look like a very unreliable leader?
Although her original intention of establishing the Yuling Sect was indeed to provoke people everywhere, and then ask a certain Turtle Elder to take action on the pretext of exterminating the family, but... if the forces she spent so much effort to gather were really destroyed by others, wouldn't it be a huge loss? Therefore, if the Cheng family joined the Yuling Sect, there would be a risk of extermination, but they would definitely not be really destroyed.
"Don't worry, senior. At least as long as I am alive, the Cheng family will not be wiped out." Bai Lan bowed and made a vow.
Only then did Lu Li nod.
"There is only one person who can wipe out the Cheng family, and that is Long Aotian."
Lu Li was puzzled: "Who is Long Aotian?"
