Chapter 296 Extremely Smart
"Something's wrong, something's wrong..." Cheng Tianfeng muttered to himself as he returned to his yard.
His father asked him to learn from Bai Lan, and although Cheng Tianfeng was unhappy, he still obeyed.
Now recalling Bai Lan's actions carefully...
"Wait, could that woman like Long Aotian?" Cheng Tianfeng suddenly slammed his palm on the table, startling the two servants beside him.
"Why do you say that, young master?" The servant was puzzled. "Didn't Elder Bai ask you to go to the Li family to cause trouble?"
"Yes, yes, what does this have to do with that poor boy Long Aotian?" Another servant was also puzzled.
Cheng Tianfeng thought he had found Bai Lan's weakness. He snorted twice and said faintly, "That woman asked me to cause trouble for the Li family. It's obvious that she doesn't want Li Qiao'er to marry Long Aotian! She's afraid that Qiao'er will steal her lover! That's why she asked me to mess up their relationship."
"Eh!? Yes, that makes sense." The servant nodded.
Cheng Tianfeng smiled smugly and continued to analyze: "And in the end, she stopped me from attacking Long Aotian. She was probably afraid that I would hurt Long Aotian. She also said that I was no match for Long Aotian! Haha, it was all bullshit!"
"That's not right, young master. I remember you said before that the woman gave you a foundation-building pill mixed with poison. Do you want you to poison that Long Aotian?" The servant with a good memory suddenly spoke.
Cheng Tianfeng was silent for a moment.
He took out the so-called poisoned foundation-building pill that Bai Lan had given him from his storage bag, and then studied it carefully.
The color is bright, the medicinal power is strong, and the aroma is normal.
After scanning with divine sense, there didn't seem to be anything special.
Cheng Tianfeng slammed the table suddenly: "Humph! This woman, she gave me a real foundation-building pill, but she still deceived me! She just wanted to be nice to Long Aotian!"
"That's not right, young master. If it is the real Foundation Establishment Pill, why doesn't she give it to Long Aotian herself? Wouldn't she be able to end up better? Why does she need to rely on you, young master? Aren't you Long Aotian's enemy?" The servant was still puzzled.
Cheng Tianfeng rolled his eyes and kicked him: "Why do you have so many questions!"
The servant pursed his lips in pain and said no more.
"Anyway, my intuition tells me that the woman must like Long Aotian."
The servant nodded repeatedly: "As expected of you, young master, maybe that's really the case!"
"Damn woman, you have caused me so much pain, but I will not let her have her way!" Cheng Tianfeng said ruthlessly, "You! Go get some spirit stones and call a few Foundation Establishment cultivators from the mansion. I will make sure that Long Aotian dies tonight!"
"But young master, the master seems to think very highly of Elder Bai. If you kill her lover, she won't be angry, right?" The servant hesitated.
After all, it was Master Cheng, not Young Master Cheng, who gave them the spirit stones, so Master Cheng's face still had to be considered.
"After killing her, just throw a fireball at her. When that woman asks Long Aotian about it in the future, he can just say it was done by a passing demon cultivator. What a pig-brain!" Cheng Tianfeng was speechless.
"Yes, Master is really smart! I will do it right away!"
After sending the servants away, Cheng Tianfeng looked at the foundation-building pill in his hand and pondered for a moment.
After a while, Cheng Tianfeng seemed to have made up his mind. He took out another foundation-building pill from his storage bag that the head of the Cheng family had prepared for him.
"Long Aotian, I must, must kill you with my own hands!!!" Cheng Tianfeng gritted his teeth, set up two defensive arrays, a spirit gathering array and a defensive array on the spot, sat cross-legged, and took two foundation-building pills.
He was planning to break through to the foundation-building stage, and the foundation-building pill he took contained the pill that Bai Lan had carefully prepared for Long Aotian.
Cheng Tianfeng's cultivation had already reached the great perfection of the Qi Refining Stage, and a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage was just around the corner.
With his dual spiritual roots, the probability of him breaking through his cultivation level by taking a foundation-building pill was very high. However, in order to achieve steady progress, the head of the Cheng family ordered him to wait for a few more months until he could find a way to get a foundation-building pill from the auction.
Two foundation-building pills can ensure that Cheng Tianfeng can successfully break through the foundation-building stage.
The head of the Cheng family has good intentions and cares a lot about Cheng Tianfeng.
However, she didn't expect that her eldest son would inadvertently fall in love with a man who only had other people's thoughts in his mind and impulsively build his foundation.
At this moment, in the Li Mansion far away on the other side of Hongyan City.
Cheng Tianfeng did not go to cause trouble in person. He was now determined to break through the foundation building stage and kill Long Aotian personally.
But even if Cheng Tianfeng did not show up in person, and only sent a few minions to cause trouble and pass on the message, the impact on the Li family was huge.
The minions are nothing to be feared, but... the Cheng family now has two Jindan-stage cultivators, and it seems that they have also received help from the Yuanying-stage cultivators of the Tianji Pavilion. Their meteoric rise is just around the corner.
And for some reason, the kid from the Cheng family just set his eyes on their Qiao'er.
And Qiao Er is a stubborn girl, and she has already been with Long Aotian...
The more the Li family patriarch thought about it, the more his headache became.
Originally, the marriage between the two families was a happy event, but because of that sudden appearance of Long Aotian, he seduced Qiao'er and caused so many troubles!
"Master! I secretly captured a Qi Condensation cultivator who was cleaning the Cheng Mansion. After some threats and inducements, I was able to find out a lot of information." A Foundation Establishment cultivator walked up quickly and bowed.
The head of the Li family's eyes lit up and he stepped forward: "Tell me! What is the current situation of the Cheng family?"
"Three black-robed monks came to the Cheng family today. Judging from the patterns on their masks, they are indeed from the Tianji Pavilion!"
"The leading cultivator is at the Foundation Establishment stage, followed by a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage, and another cultivator who seems to be a bodyguard. It is said that even the Patriarch of the Cheng family could not detect that cultivator's level."
"Even a Jindan-stage cultivator couldn't detect that person's cultivation level?" The Li family's patriarch turned pale. "Could it be that he is really a Yuanying cultivator?"
The room suddenly became quiet. It was over.
"That person...that person also saw that the head of the Cheng family had a secret conversation with the leading black-robed monk in the hall for a long time. After coming out, the head of the Cheng family changed his previous arrogant attitude and treated the leading monk with great respect. He even offered him the title of elder of the Cheng Mansion..." After the person finished speaking, his eyes began to wander.
"What else!?" The head of the Li family became angry when he saw that the person reporting did not speak.
The man looked embarrassed. "I only caught a few Qi Refining Stage cleaners. That's all the information I could find out. For some reason, all the Cheng family members stayed indoors today. Even the defense formation of the past and future was raised in an instant. All the people in the Cheng family who could be contacted kept silent about this matter..."
"Idiots! Can't the Flower Spirit Stone pry open their mouths?" The head of the Li family was filled with anger.
"I have tried it, but this Flower Spirit Stone really can't pry open their mouths. The Cheng family's Patriarch even made them swear a demon oath. Who would dare to leak the secret?"
The head of the Li family closed his eyes and suddenly felt tired.
With such strict defense, could it be that he really climbed up the high branches of Tianji Pavilion? After all, Tianji Pavilion has always been famous for its mystery...
"You, go and bring Qiao'er here. I have something to tell her." The head of the Li family sighed and finally made up his mind: "Then, drive that man called Long Aotian out of the Li family!"
"Yes!"
Bai Lan didn't care about Cheng Tianfeng's little tricks outside of the mission. As long as her plan could go on roughly as she imagined and there were no major problems, she didn't need to spend too much effort on it. She was currently studying the method of refining the longevity pill.
Bai Lan said that she wanted the head of the Cheng family to prepare an alchemy room for her, but after actually entering the alchemy room, Bai Lan didn't even look at the underground fire and the alchemy furnace in the alchemy room. She set up a restriction and then entered the Void Stone.
The materials for refining longevity pills are extremely rare. Even for Bai Lan, the materials he has are only enough to refine one furnace of longevity pills, and one furnace can only produce five pills at most.
The longevity pill is a sixth-grade medicinal pill that can only be refined by cultivators in the Jindan stage. It is already difficult for her, a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, to refine five pills. If she wants to refine five pills in one furnace, she must not only be prepared to reload the file a hundred times, but also ensure that there is sufficient spiritual energy around her to prevent the furnace from exploding due to her running out of spiritual energy halfway through refining.
Only by setting up a spirit gathering array at the place where the four spirit veins in the Void Stone converge and making the spiritual power concentrated to a certain level can Bai Lan's expectations be achieved.
“Hmph, you are just a young cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, yet you are willing to use the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng to refine pills. What a waste.” Luan Yin saw that Bai Lan seemed to be preparing materials for refining pills, and when he came closer and took a look at the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng, he couldn't help but speak sourly.
When Bai Lan left the ruins of the Yuling Sect, he left Li Xunxian behind, intending to have the two of them explore the entire Yuling Sect carefully and draw a map of the Sect so that it could be dismantled and rebuilt after moving into the Void Stone in the future.
Therefore, apart from the system and the spirit of the weapon, the only person left in the Void Stone now is Luan Yin, a ghost cultivator whose cultivation level has returned to the Qi Refining Stage.
Looking at the natural resources and treasures in Bai Lan's space, Luan Yin felt so jealous that black energy came out of his body.
He had never thought that he would be so envious of the wealth of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Dozens of magical instruments, piles of natural treasures, four spiritual veins, and a boundless space in front of them.
"Tianyuan Fruit Tree? Humph, if I had this fruit back then, my cultivation would definitely be able to reach a higher level!"
"It's a pity. Even if you eat this Tianyuan Fruit raw now, it would be no different from feeding it to pigs... That's not right. Pigs might even mutate and gain intelligence after eating it. As for you... hehe." Bai Lan's tone was light, but his words were extremely heartbreaking.
He is a ghost now, and this kind of natural treasure is of no use to a ghost cultivator.
"You...!" The black energy on Luan Yin became several degrees heavier.
This was probably the reason why Bai Lan allowed him to wander around in the Void Stone, and even ordered him to work in the Spiritual Medicine Garden.
Because except for the soul-nourishing pill that was strictly preserved by the system, everything else in the Void Stone was of no help to him.
Luanyin was a ghost, trapped in the world of void stone, and could only stare at the Lingshi Mountain in the distance, unable to do anything.
"Ha, I almost forgot. It took me quite a bit of trouble to get this Tianyuan fruit tree back then." Bai Lan suddenly smiled.
There were too many opportunities to be snatched, and only now that he had it, Bai Lan could remember from whom he had snatched it. This Tianyuan Fruit was snatched from Luan Yin's sweetheart, Bai Ling.
As if reminiscing about the past, Bai Lan briefly recounted the past events of Bai Ling, Lan Ning and other former lovers, then looked at Luan Yin again.
"There are many people around Bai Ling, of all kinds, from the devil, the righteous, ghosts, monsters, and even residual souls. As for you... in terms of strength, you can only rank in the top ten, not even in the top three."
Luan Yin was already trembling with fear because of the reputation of those who were close to Bai Ling, and Bai Lan's last words touched his heart.
"You've gone too far!!!" Luan Yin was furious.
"I'm just telling the truth, why are you in such a hurry?"
Bai Lan ignored Luan Yin's chattering and continued to prepare the remaining spiritual herbs.
"If the furnace explodes later, I'll see if you can still laugh." Luan Yin gritted his teeth and spoke viciously, trying to attack Bai Lan with a curse.
Glancing at Luan Yin, Bai Lan raised his chin and said, "You, go to the distant spiritual valley and set up a spirit gathering formation for me."
Luan Yin subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then he remembered his current identity, gritted his teeth secretly, and had to turn around to set up the formation.
According to common sense, spiritual fire can increase the chance of successful pill making.
But Bai Lan's Purple Sky True Fire was too overbearing, and it could burn everything in the world. In battle, it was extremely powerful and could kill gods and Buddhas.
The only thing she couldn't do was to make the elixir. As soon as the fire burned for one stick of incense, her elixir furnace would melt.
On the contrary, the extremely cold ice flame possessed by Xuan Shazi is relatively mild and is more suitable for alchemy.
Unfortunately, the Nine Yin Secret Realm only opens once a year. Since Bai Lan entered the world of cultivation, this secret realm has been opened twice.
She caught up with the first chapter, but when the second chapter started, she was in Cangwuzhou to participate in the Tianji Competition. She was in a hurry and missed it.
It would take another year before the next opening, and by then she would have to find a reason to lower her cultivation level and sneak into the secret realm once again.
Try every possible means to move Xuan Shazi's building, soul, and fire away.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Lan first threw a batch of ingredients for the Soul Nourishing Pill into the furnace.
Under Luan Yin's puzzled gaze, he first refined a furnace of soul-nourishing pills, got a feel for it, and then picked up the spiritual herbs for refining longevity pills.
Luan Yin, who was standing by, was envious of the bottle of newly-made soul-nourishing pill, but was more curious about what kind of pill Bai Lan was really going to refine.
He, who had initially looked down upon Bai Lan, a lowly ant at the foundation-building stage, now realized that the female cultivator in front of him could indeed refine pills, and her level was not low.
Luan Yin had already fallen silent at this moment, silently observing Bai Lan's alchemy skills.
Bai Lan certainly doesn't mind having one more skill for her labor souls. Wouldn't it be better if they could take the initiative to learn a skill so that she can exploit them in the future?
Glancing at Luan Yin who was observing intently at the side, Bai Lan recalled the recipe for the longevity pill in his mind.
In the elixir recipes of the cultivation world, the specific quantifiers for describing the spiritual herbs are "a few taels", "a few plants" and so on.
It would be fine if the spiritual herbs needed to refine the pill have compatible properties, but if the spiritual herbs have conflicting properties and you want to refine them into pills, then your skills will be tested.
