Chapter 285 Tianfeng
The Qingxia Sect is located in a secluded valley in the eastern part of Wuyun Continent. There is a seventh-tier mountain protection formation outside. The terrain is hidden, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The valley was vast, and there seemed to be a medium-sized spiritual vein underneath. The closer to the inner gate in the center of the valley, the richer the spiritual energy, while the spiritual energy in the outer gate where the disciples lived was relatively thin.
Thanks to True Lord Qingxia, Bai Lan and Ning Yan followed her on the lotus and went directly into the inner gate of the valley.
From time to time, inner disciples could be seen flying through the air on swords and paying respects to True Lord Qingxia.
Everyone is of course familiar with Ning Yan, the eldest disciple under the master, but Bai Lan, this unfamiliar face... is more eye-catching.
"My young friend, Yan'er is seriously injured and I need to heal her. There is a spiritual spring in the back mountain of Qingxia Sect. The spring water contains extremely rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It can not only improve your cultivation, but also has the effect of healing. You can go there to heal." True Lord Qingxia was worried about Ningyan's injury at the moment and was eager to take her to heal.
Bai Lan naturally bowed in agreement.
It sounds like a suitable place for retreat and cultivation.
Although Yun Yang had not had time to take action before, the pressure from his soul alone was enough to make Ning Yan half dead. If she wanted to recover, it would take some effort.
Most places in the world of cultivation are like the wilderness in the game map, with monsters and evil cultivators roaming around, and if you’re lucky you can even come across some magical herbs and medicines.
After all, natural resources and treasures are naturally grown by nature and can be used by cultivators at will.
If you were in Qingxia Sect, the situation would be very different.
Firstly, you can't enter the library, and secondly, you can't pick the spiritual herbs in the spiritual medicine garden. There is no useful resource at all in the valley.
The only advantage is that this is a good neutral area to avoid being hunted down.
Bai Lan knew that it would not be easy to go around collecting herbs and searching for opportunities in an unfamiliar sect, so he could only follow what True Lord Qingxia said and head towards the spiritual spring in the back mountain.
Halfway through the walk, the sound transmission note in the void stone lit up.
After taking a look, Bai Lan found that the message was from Gongsun Lian. He set up a soundproofing barrier on the spot and then took it out.
"One good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Gongsun Lian's laughing voice came from the other end.
"I guess the good news is that you have successfully penetrated into the Demon Palace."
In order to obtain the inheritance left behind by the old Red Moon Demon who failed in his tribulation, Bai Lan must ensure that there are people of his own inside the Demon Palace so that he can get there first in the future.
Gongsun Lian is Bai Lan's hidden chess piece that infiltrates the Demon Palace.
Obviously, the speed of her improvement in chess was far beyond her imagination. She didn't even need Bai Lan to spend much effort, and she was able to enter the Demon Palace and get a job as a deacon.
As a former Jindan cultivator, Gongsun Lian found cultivation as easy as eating and drinking, with no bottlenecks at all. In addition, Bai Lan provided her with countless opportunities to practice magic, and her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.
Qiu Qiu, who was once a Qi Refining cultivator at the same time as him, is now only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
"I didn't expect you to know me so well~ That's right, I just broke through the fourth level of the foundation-building period not long ago, and now I have broken into the Demon Palace. I spent some effort and now I am serving tea to the old demon Hegui."
"Oh? Tea maid, tsk, I, the real master, have never drunk the tea you brewed."
Gongsun Lian ignored Bai Lan's strange words and reported everything she had seen and heard in the past few days. She said in a shocked tone, "The bad news is that the woman named Bai Ling used some kind of evil magic to make the old demon Hegui so fond of her... It was a sunny day, and the old demon actually walked in from outside holding her. It's strange. I never thought that a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage would be interested in a mortal."
Bai Lan chuckled: "Now you realize how special she is."
"I realize it, it's so terrifying!" Gongsun Lian nodded repeatedly.
"Then what? How have the two of you been getting along these days? What progress have you made?"
Gongsun Lian's tone was filled with doubt: "That old demon Hegui's control over power is really meticulous. You know, a Nascent Soul cultivator is extremely powerful and can crush a mortal to death with just the strength of a finger. It's amazing that Bai Ling can still jump around in his hands and wasn't accidentally stepped on to death by that old demon Hegui. "
It is indeed strange from the perspective of other cultivators that a mortal at the ant level and a Nascent Soul at the powerful level love each other, but it is not surprising when it happens to the child of destiny.
Bai Lan suddenly thought of one of Bai Ling's ex-lovers: "What was Lan Ning's reaction?"
"Oh, he was locked up for a year by the old demon Hegui, and is now practicing in seclusion... He is not important. Tell me the truth, what is Bai Ling's physique, or has she practiced some special method to bewitch people?" Gongsun Lian said anxiously.
"Why, you also want to practice the method of bewitching people?"
"Yes, if I can practice that technique, I can then persuade you to return my soul to me, and then I will be free, hehe." Gongsun Lian was still thinking about the freedom she had never gotten.
"Lian Er actually just wanted to escape from me instead of trying to kill me. It's really touching."
Gongsun Lian's laughter seemed to contain a hint of gnashing teeth: "I didn't kill you because I know I can't kill you with my ability."
"Ha, ordinary magic can only temporarily cast an illusion and temporarily charm the mind. I don't have the skills to bewitch a Yuanying cultivator to that level. You just need to know that Bai Ling has a special physique, which can easily make a man with good looks and high status fall in love with her, and then live and die for her."
“It’s so... Such a good physique. If I hadn’t become a ghost cultivator, I would definitely possess your body to use it.” Gongsun Lian sneered.
"Things like this are just for thought. Also, if you have an enemy you can't defeat in the Demon Palace, you can try to make him an enemy of Bai Ling, and Bai Ling will help you defeat him."
Gongsun Lian sneered: "How can she solve it? Just rush up and cry until the other party softens?"
In Gongsun Lian's eyes, Bai Ling was just a plaything of He Gui, the kind that would be abandoned in three days, and had no status at all.
But what she didn't know was that after the death of the Red Moon ancestor in the God Transformation Stage, He Gui would replace Chi Yue and become the new Demon Lord of the Demon Palace, and Bai Ling would become the Demon Queen beside the Demon Lord... Although she was forced to take the position by He Gui, Bai Ling still had her good master in her heart.
"It seems that you haven't fully understood how terrifying Bai Ling is. In a few days, you will know how powerful she really is." Bai Lan laughed twice.
Sensing a fluctuation of spiritual power coming from the front, Bai Lan quickly cut off the sound transmission note and hid in the dark.
"Qiao'er, you are my fiancée, and we have already made an engagement. My Cheng family has also provided the three foundation-building pills that the Li family requested. But now you are being so affectionate with that poor boy named Long Aotian. Do you still take me seriously?" came the young man's angry voice.
The woman named Qiao'er said in a cold voice: "The engagement was arranged by my parents. What does it have to do with me? I have never liked you. Don't bother me anymore in the future, and don't do anything that will cause Brother Aotian to misunderstand."
"What's so good about Long Aotian! His cultivation is only at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage, but I am also at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage."
Qiao'er remained silent: "......"
Bai Lan also remained silent.
I almost forgot that Long Aotian is now being hunted down by the assassins from Tianji Pavilion.
People who are being hunted seem to like hiding in other people's homes to avoid being seen, so has Long Aotian sneaked into the Qingxia Sect?
Fortunately, she had foresight and took the lead, and now has gained the trust of True Lord Qingxia, otherwise this kid would really have been in touch with True Lord Qingxia.
"Haha, okay, you don't want to obey, right?" The young man's voice gradually turned cold. "To tell you the truth, my father had successfully broken through to the Jindan stage when he came out of retreat not long ago. Now my Cheng family already has two Jindan cultivators, but what about your Li family? Your father is over 400 years old, right? His life span is coming to an end. How are you going to fight against my Cheng family then?"
The woman named Qiao'er's expression changed.
"If you are willing to marry me, it will be a marriage between our two families. My Cheng family will take care of your Li family in the future. But if you are not willing, don't blame my Cheng family for being rude. I will unite with other families and work together to swallow up your Li family!"
Qiao'er was shocked, but still maintained the qualities that a concubine of Long Aotian should have - that is, no matter how the sky collapsed, the earth cracked, the sea dried up and the rocks crumbled, she would love Long Aotian.
She said angrily: "Cheng Tianfeng, no matter what you say or do, you can't separate me and Brother Aotian!"
The woman named Qiao'er was indeed a little panicked. After listening to Cheng Tianfeng's words, her tone of voice became much weaker, but she still loved Long Aotian and still verbally rejected Cheng Tianfeng.
Cheng Tianfeng's face turned even colder when he heard this: "Of course, I don't mind destroying the Li family first, and then welcoming you into my family."
"Does this marriage have to go through?" Li Qiaoer was on the verge of collapse.
"Yes! No matter what, this young master is going to marry you!" Cheng Tianfeng answered straightforwardly.
Bai Lan thought for a second.
In just a moment, Bai Lan saw the outcomes of events under different circumstances.
She was sure that if the Li family forced Li Qiaoer to marry Cheng Tianfeng, then at the time of the wedding, Long Aotian would suddenly appear, snatch the wedding away, take Li Qiaoer away in public, shocking everyone and slapping Cheng Tianfeng in the face.
If the Li family had not forced Li Qiaoer to marry Cheng Tianfeng and intended to fight the Cheng family to the end... then Long Aotian would definitely stand on the side of the Li family, show his Aotian trump card, become a guest of honor of the Li family, and fight against the Cheng family together.
The Cheng family will most likely be doomed in the end. In summary, those who follow the will of heaven will live, and those who go against the will of heaven will die.
Seeing that Cheng Tianfeng was still stubborn, Li Qiaoer didn't want to bother with him any more, so she said a few harsh words and turned away.
Bai Lan's eyes lit up when he saw this. He put on a spirit-hiding robe to conceal his aura, and at the same time, he used the system to equip himself with a voice-changing sound card and chased after him.
"Qiao'er, do you want to stay with Long Aotian forever? Do you want to get rid of the current predicament? Do you want to get rid of Cheng Tianfeng? Do you want to preserve the Li family?" Bai Lan's voice, which was slightly bewitching and reverberant, suddenly sounded in Qiao'er's ears.
The latter was so startled that he almost fell down on the spot.
Qiao'er was frightened by the sudden sound. She tremblingly extended her spiritual sense to search around, but still could not find any trace of Bai Lan.
"Who are you? How do you know about me and Brother Aotian?" Qiao'er's voice trembled and she looked around vigilantly.
"I am the matchmaker. My favorite thing in life is to tie the red thread together. I would like to see lovers finally get married."
Qiao'er frowned, obviously still not believing it.
"This is a foundation-building pill. If Long Aotian takes it, he will surely succeed in breaking through the state of great perfection of the Qi Refining Stage and advance to the Foundation-Building Stage. By then, your family will definitely agree to your marriage with him, and Cheng Tianfeng will be unable to do anything to you."
As soon as Bai Lan finished speaking, a medicine bottle appeared in front of Qiao'er, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.
"Foundation Building Pill!?" Qiao'er was shocked at first, and then ecstatic.
For a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, this item is a priceless treasure.
"You, who are you and why did you give Brother Aotian such a precious elixir?" Li Qiaoer asked in confusion.
"Because I am kind."
"...What is your relationship with Brother Aotian?" Li Qiaoer looked puzzled.
"I've already said that I'm the matchmaker, and I'm still asking, don't you want to be with your brother Aotian?"
Li Qiao'er held the medicine bottle tightly, but still cautiously opened it and carefully checked it. She used her spiritual sense to explore it and her spiritual power to scan it, but she found nothing. After all, even the Fifth Yin couldn't find any problem with the pills handed over by Bai Lan, so Qiao'er, a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, couldn't find it even more.
At this moment, in Qiao'er's eyes, this is just an ordinary foundation-building pill.
Just when Qiao'er wanted to ask something else, Bai Lan's voice had disappeared without a trace.
After fooling Li Qiaoer, Bai Lan returned along the same route and found Cheng Tianfeng, who was holding the marriage certificate and pounding the wall angrily.
"Since your ultimate goal is to marry Qiao'er, why don't you focus on the culprit who separated you and Qiao'er? Since Li Qiao'er likes Long Aotian, why don't you consider getting rid of Long Aotian?" Bai Lan's voice with a bit of reverberation and bewitchment suddenly sounded from the air.
Cheng Tianfeng's eyes lit up at first, and then he became alert to this inexplicable sound.
"Who are you? Why don't you come out and talk? Instead, you're acting so sneaky. What do you want to do..." Cheng Tianfeng stood up, with a weapon in his hand.
"This is a foundation-building pill with extremely heavy Yin energy. You can't tell anything about it just by looking at its appearance, but once a cultivator uses this pill to build his foundation, it will produce unspeakable side effects." After Bai Lan finished speaking, he raised his hand and handed the pill bottle to Cheng Tianfeng.
Cheng Tianfeng looked at the medicine bottle that suddenly appeared in front of him, frowned, took a step back, and looked alert: "What do you mean by this!"
"Silly! Of course I want you to design it and let Long Aotian take it! Do you want to eat it yourself? " Bai Lan was speechless to these two people.
Cheng Tianfeng snorted coldly: "Do you need to poison Long Aotian to get rid of him? I can do it with three or five servants."
Such a confident tone...a sense of stupidity that comes from someone who has never been hit.
