Xue'er examined the token in Bai Lan's hand carefully, then smiled and said, "Master, you may not know this, but the Black Market that is all over the cultivation world is actually the property of the Carefree Sect, and the token in your hand is the token of the Guest Elder of the Black Market."
"I see." Bai Lan's face was full of surprise.
If she couldn't become a disciple of the Carefree Sect, becoming an elder of the Black Market seemed like a good option. She did have quite a few things that needed to be processed in the Black Market and exchanged for Spirit Stone.
"Those who possess this token will be treated as honored guests, whether at the Myriad Treasures Pavilion or the Black Market," Xue'er said with a smile.
Got it, it's that kind of supreme-level black card from the popular fantasy novel.
When Long Aotian encounters a situation where he is ridiculed and belittled by spoiled young masters in front of an auction and prevented from entering by servants, he will take out this token and slap everyone in the face.
"Oh, by the way, a Senior Sister from the Righteous Path Peak has been coming here to see you these past few days, Master..."
"I know." Bai Lan nodded. "She is the sect leader's personal disciple and her swordsmanship is quite good. If you have some free time, you can go and spar with her."
Xue'er remained silent this time.
At my current level, challenging Nan Xianshi to a duel isn't a duel; it's just one-sided abuse.
Every time Nan Xianshi came, he would bring a bag of melon seeds and dried fruit. Then he would casually break off a tree branch and spar with her. When she was too tired to get up, that was when Nan Xianshi would eat melon seeds and watch the show.
" Xue'er understands." Xue'er lowered her head, secretly deciding that she would avoid that Senior Sister Nan in the future.
Bai Lan smiled with satisfaction, "You are my eldest disciple. Jade Purity Peak is in dire need of reconstruction. If there are any talented disciples in the outer peaks, you can take them into the inner sect on my behalf."
"Master's command, this disciple will certainly do my utmost!"
In short, while you're cultivating, don't be idle; recruit people whenever you can.
Just then, Nangong Yuan, who had stumbled and struggled his way back from the Hundred Thousand Mountains, also returned to Jade Purity Peak.
This place used to be filled with Ling'er's memories of him, but now, none of them remain. Jade Purity Peak has become that woman's Jade Purity Peak.
Now his soul is controlled by others, he is like a fish on a chopping board, at their mercy.
"Oh? You've come at the perfect time. Come with me." Seeing Bai Lan Nangong Yuan return, Bai Lan smiled and went into the inner room first.
Nangong Yuan couldn't laugh; he simply spoke in a cold voice, " True Person, what are your orders?"
"Tell me about the several ancestors of the Nangong family and their cultivation levels," said Bai Lan, as she took out a map of the Cangwu Continent from her Storage Bag and spread it on the table.
"What... what are you going to do?" Nangong Yuan frowned. "Could it be that you know the Nangong family is powerful and are afraid?"
"Hahahaha, it's been a long time since I've heard such a ridiculously stupid remark." Elder Fu couldn't help but burst into laughter. When Bai Lan asks how many ancestors your family has and what their cultivation level is, it's usually not because you want to run away or because you're afraid.
Instead, they were considering how to capture people's souls.
"Who! Who's speaking!" Nangong Yuan was startled by Elder Fu's reverberant voice. He looked left and right, but still couldn't find the person who spoke.
"Shut up, you little fool. How could you possibly know where I am? Quietly listen to your ancestor."
Nangong Yuan clenched his fists tightly.
It was someone from the Bai Lan again, just as expected!
Bai Lan ignored Nangong Yuan's shouts and commotion, her gaze fixed on the map of the Cangwu Continent in front of her.
She didn't intend to take in the Nangong family because the Nangong family had too many Nascent Soul ancestors, and she couldn't accept them.
Her initial plan was simply to frame Nangong Yuan's death on the Lan Family's rival forces, setting up a two-tiger-eat-one-dog scheme to eliminate a mortal enemy for her own side, while the Lan Family would then reap the benefits.
Whether Nangong Yuan is alive or dead makes little difference; as long as his corpse exists, that's enough.
Unexpectedly, this kid has survived to this day. Perhaps it is the special luck of the Heavenly Mandate Maiden's harem. As long as he is not saved by the maiden, he will not die. The future is even more tragic, waiting for the maiden to come and save him.
Now that the young master of the Nangong family is in her hands, the plan can be slightly modified.
Cangwu Continent has been a land abundant in spiritual energy since High Antiquity times, and thus there are many immortal cultivation Aristocratic Clan that have been passed down for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
Compared to the Lan Family, a medium-sized Lineage that rose to prominence later, the Nangong family has a much longer history. There are three such prominent families in the Cangwu Continent Aristocratic Clan the Nangong family.
The Nangong family, the Ye Family, Li Family.
Among them, the young master of the Nangong family was Bai Ling's harem, while the young master of the Ye Family was Long Aotian's Harem. The Li Family did not have any of these relationships, so they died a tragic death in the end.
"Starting tomorrow, you will return to the Nangong family to inherit the family business and seize the position of family head as soon as possible." Bai Lan suddenly looked up at Nangong Yuan.
Nangong Yuan's eyes widened. "Inherit the family business!? No, no, Ling'er is still here, I can't..."
"I'm not discussing this with you." Bai Lan smiled slightly. "Your daughter Ling'er is now under my care. She used to be a disciple of Jade Purity Peak, so it's only right that I, as the peak master, take care of her."
"You woman, what do you want to do to Ling'er?!" Nangong Yuan immediately became anxious.
"That depends on your performance. If you do well, Bai Ling can live. If you don't do well... then I'll just have to collect another Bai Ling Corpse Puppet."
Nangong Yuan took a deep breath; he admitted that he had been manipulated.
"I promise you, as long as you don't harm Ling'er, I'll do anything!" Nangong Yuan said through gritted teeth.
Bai Lan nodded slightly upon seeing this, took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, and contacted Lan Jinyu, a member of the Lan Family in the Cangwu Continent.
"Ancestor!? What are your orders?" Lan Jinyu was very excited to receive the telepathic message from her ancestor, Bai Laozu.
"Do you know the Cangwu Continent family, one of the three great Lineage of Cangwu Continent?"
"I know it myself! The Nangong family is very powerful. They are the only three major Lineage in the Cangwu Continent besides the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.
" Nangong Yuan of the Nangong family, is my man. If you encounter any trouble that you cannot resolve while traveling in the Cangwu Continent in the future, feel free to seek him out."
Straightforward and frank language.
Nangong Yuan suddenly looked up, but gritted his teeth when he met Bai Lan's gaze and remained silent.
"As expected of the Ancestor!" Lan Jinyu exclaimed with delight.
"In addition, send Di Wu Yin to act alongside Nangong Yuan."
"Ah, Fellow Daoist Fifth is right beside me."
On the other side of the Sound Transmission Talisman, the previously silent Di Wu Yin glared at Lan Jinyu.
Why even mention her! Just mentioning her will guarantee that this woman will find something to do with her!
"Oh~ Sister Yin, you're here. Then let's get on with it." Bai Lan smiled slightly, her gaze falling on Nangong Yuan, who was gritting his teeth and looking sinister. "When Nangong Yuan returns to the Cangwu Continent, I want you to go with him. If he shows any sign of slackness, tell me."
