Stirring Up Trouble (Working hard to update in the second half of the year)

"Back to Master, that human female nun..."

After listening to the narration in Earth Rock Rat's childish voice, Lan Chang'an's face showed a trace of strangeness.

Earth Rock Rat is a true elixir-level demon with a talent for earth escape, a keen sense of smell, and is good at tracking.

During the more than half a month that Lan Chang'an was out, Yu Qin's every move did not escape the surveillance of Earth Rock Rat.

Who this woman interacts with every day, her cultivation, eating, entertainment, and even what color clothes she wears are monitored clearly, down to the smallest detail.

Lan Chang'an was also funny. Before leaving, he just told Earth Rock Rat to pay attention. He didn't expect this rat to be so serious.

According to Earth Rock Rat's report, Lan Chang'an discovered two doubts.

The first suspicion is that Yu Qin secretly prepared several medicinal herbs, including powders, potions, and perfumes.

However, with Earth Rock Rat's sense of smell, no extremely poisonous things were found.

Suspicious point two: Yu Qin once went out.

Earth Rock Rat did not follow him out.

Because, Lan Chang'an lets it guard Autumn Wind Island and protect Mystic Wood Gourd Vine planted at the bottom of the deep pool.

This matter is of the highest importance and priority.

Lan Chang'an pondered, "Has this woman ever deliberately paid attention to or gotten close to Xia Wenyue?"

Innate Dao Body of Xia Wenyue contains a fortuitous opportunity that breaks through the Nascent Soul Realm, and it also comes with unknown risks, so Lan Chang'an is instinctively on guard.

"No." Earth Rock Rat shook his little head.

"From this point of view, Yu Qin's sojourn and refuge can rule out the secret of Innate Dao Body."

Lan Chang'an Heaved a sigh of relief.

"Then, even if this woman comes with bad intentions, at most she comes from the hostile forces of the Xia Clan."

Lan Chang'an didn't know that Yu Qin had framed him at Young Master Xia.

While Lan Chang'an was out, Yu Qin never said anything bad about Lan Chang'an and acted pitifully docile in front of Young Master Xia.

Yu Qin understands that going too far is never enough. Even though she once loved each other, Young Master Xia cannot completely trust her.

Don't be too repetitive in your attempts to distance yourself, otherwise it's easy to expose your flaws.

Regardless of whether Young Master Xia believes it or not, just leaving a bud of doubt in his heart can cause a gap in the relationship between the two.

Two days later, Autumn Wind Island mansion.

Lan Chang'an sent a Sound Transmission Talisman to make an appointment with the Xia Clan's clan elder, Xia Shenglan.

As a tribute to the Xia Clan, Lan Chang'an has noticed that there is something wrong with Yu Qin, so I would like to remind Young Master Xia.

However, although he has a high status within the clan, he is still a monk with a foreign surname.

Xia Mingqu and Yu Qin fell in love when they were young and almost formed dao companion. Their relationship and relationship were extraordinary.

In terms of friendship, Lan Chang'an cannot compare.

Therefore, he decided to start with Xia Shenglan to avoid embarrassing Young Master Xia.

In terms of seniority, Xia Shenglan is Xia Mingqu's cousin, and she once married Five Blessings Merchant Association's second-ranked Xin Family.

Half an hour later.

Dressed in a long orchid dress, the bright and dignified female cultivator Foundation Establishment flew to Autumn Wind Island.

"Daoist Lu personally invited me. It's so rare. I'm so flattered that I don't dare to delay in the slightest."

A faint smile appeared on Xia Shenglan's face. Although it was not rude, it was not as close as before.

A few years ago, Lan Chang'an saved Xia Shenglan's life before his identity was revealed.

After this woman severed her relationship with the Xin Family, Xia Clan tried to get her to marry Lan Chang'an and gave her Breakthrough Pill from Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

However, Lan Chang'an refused the matchmaking offer from the Xia Clan's top management.

From then on, the relationship between Lan Chang'an and Xia Shenglan faded, and at most they were just ordinary acquaintances between monks of the same generation.

"Sheng Lan clan's old words are harsh. Lu is just an old Foundation Establishment cultivator, not a big shot."

Lan Chang'an could hear the self-mockery in this woman's words, but she didn't take it seriously and took it lightly.

In the side hall, the host and guests sit separately.

The maid Xia Wenyue brought pastries and fruit, and greeted Xia Shenglan with a smile on her face.

"Aunt Wen Yue looks much better, and her cultivation has also improved... Daoist Lu is worthy of Longevity Cultivation Art's Foundation Establishment overhaul. She has unique attainments in Wen Yang."

The changes in Xia Wenyue fell into the eyes of Xia Shenglan. While he was surprised, he was also happy for the former.

The original Xia Wenyue had a beautiful face, but it was somewhat obscured by her frail body.

After her condition stabilized, Xia Wenyue's appearance became even better than before, like a flawless jade, which made Xia Shenglan, also a female cultivator, feel a sense of astonishment.

Xia Shenglan took another look at Lan Chang'an, who was as gentle as jade and as handsome as dust, and sighed secretly in his heart.

In fact, when Lan Chang'an was hiding his identity, Xia Shenglan had a crush on him, but there was no real love between men and women.

Lineage brings the two together, she is happy to see the results

However, at the moment when Lan Chang'an confessed his identity and stepped on the tortoise, Xia Shenglan's heart, which had been dormant for decades, suddenly began to flutter.

After that, she silently paid attention to the monk Liang Kingdom who was promoted to enshrinement, and learned the rumors about him from the intelligence data.

With a comprehensive understanding, Xia Shenglan admired Lan Chang'an's inspiring career of cultivating immortals, and became more and more curious.

It's a pity that Lan Chang'an rejected Lineage's matchmaking, and Xia Shenglan couldn't lose face and got closer.

This time Lan Chang'an took the initiative to invite me, and Xia Shenglan had a bit of luck in his heart.

After a cup of tea, Xia Shenglan felt disappointed.

Lan Chang'an did not show any reminiscence, and the topics they talked about involved the situation of the Five Blessings Merchant Association, the development of the Profound Yin Demonic Sect, Liang Kingdom Cultivation War, etc.

Lan Chang'an signaled Xia Wenyue to retreat, and then got to the point, mentioning the situation of "Yu Qin" to Xia Shenglan.

Of course, Lan Chang'an expressed it more implicitly. Five Blessings Merchant Association is currently facing internal and external troubles, so Xia Clan should be careful about Yu Qin.

Mainly because there is no evidence.

It is true that when Yu Qin visited last time, he had the intention to seduce her, but it was not carried out and the words were unfounded.

"Daoist Lu thinks there is something wrong with Yu Qin? Is there any evidence?"

Xia Shenglan's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, her face looking thoughtful.

Lan Chang'an smiled, "There is no evidence, just intuition, for reference only."

"I already know about this and will remind Mingge. However, Mingge is preparing to hit Foundation Establishment Late Stage in the near future..."

Xia Shenglan looked hesitant.

"Impact Foundation Establishment Late Stage?"

Lan Chang'an understands Xia Shenglan's concerns.

Foundation Establishment Late Stage, is an important level, it is best to avoid emotional and mental interference.

After Xia Shenglan left Autumn Wind Island, he thought about it and decided to go see Xia Mingqu.

Xia Mingqu is the next generation leader trained within the clan. If his will is affected by even this trivial matter, there is no need to waste the resources of Lineage.

Inside the mansion of Young Master Xia.

"Sister Sheng Lan, I am planning to practice in seclusion in the near future. The clan leader and father are both in charge of Merchant Association Headquarters. I will have to worry about all the affairs within the clan."

Xia Mingqu showed enough respect and trust to this cousin who had returned from a foreign marriage.

"It doesn't matter if it's hard work, it's all part of the job."

Xia Shenglan nodded, without any polite greetings, and then mentioned the meeting with Lan Chang'an just now.

"Lan Chang'an doubts Qin'er?"

Xia Mingqu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

More than half a month ago, Yu Qin came to complain, saying that Lan Chang'an did such obscene things while taking advantage of the situation.

For the sake of Lineage's stability and because it involves personal face, Xia Mingqu suppressed the matter and did not tell anyone else.

At this moment, Xia Shenglan arrived, and Xia Mingqu was not sure, so he stopped hiding it.

"So, you believe what Yu Qin said?" Xia Shenglan looked slightly cold.

"No, I believe Qin'er's words at most. After all, judging from the information from the Liang Kingdom, Lan Chang'an has a good reputation and is a good old man."

Xia Mingqu shook his head and said.

An old lover came to seek refuge, and Xia Mingqu sent tribesmen to investigate: Yu Qin was indeed expelled by the Jing Kingdom sect Cloud Glow Mountain, and Lineage declined. The general outline of the past is very clear.

"How are you going to deal with this?"

"Although Qin'er once fell in love with me, after so many years, our relationship has faded a lot, so naturally we cannot compare with Talismans Master Lu."

Xia Mingqu said calmly.

"As long as you understand."

Xia Shenglan looked a little brighter, and regardless of personal feelings, at least Xia Mingqu was not confused in the general direction.

Lan Chang'an, as Foundation Establishment Late Stage, has the same level as Demon Beast, and Talisman Master has the skills of Quasi-Third-Order.

This level of status and honor is not much worse than Pseudo-Core True Person.

In the evening.

Inside Quiet Chamber, Lan Chang'an was sitting cross-legged, contemplating the Core Transformation Secret Technique that was traded from Zhang Tieshan.

This Secret Method is called <Dust-Returning Core Transformation Method>, and Lan Chang'an has already comprehended it in his spare time.

Since I didn't have the guidance of a teacher, I have been learning this alchemy method for many years, but I still haven't fully understood a few details.

This is even from Lan Chang'an Previous Life to Peak Core Formation, with a high level of knowledge and knowledge.

This shows the importance of mentorship.

Many Cultivation Method of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, even if they are accidentally spread and fall into the hands of ordinary monks, it will be difficult for them to succeed in cultivation.

"Zhang Tieshan didn't have Nascent Soul True Lord's apprenticeship, but he dared to take the road of alchemy. fortuitous opportunity is really not small..."

Lan Chang'an thought of the letter sent from the Liang Kingdom some time ago. Zhang Tieshan was chased by Zhendan and lost news.

In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Tieshan is a disaster.

Lan Chang'an, however, was certain: Zhang Tieshan probably took the opportunity to remain anonymous and secretly transformed the elixir to reshape it.

"In two years at most, I will be able to practice to the eighth level of Foundation Establishment. Even without the guidance of a famous teacher, I should be able to explore and master Secret Method before the ninth level of Foundation Establishment."

Lan Chang'an said thoughtfully.

"Even if the elixir fails and there is a backlash, I will consume my life span and cast Evergreen Secret Technique, so I don't have to worry about the foundation being damaged..."

Regarding this point, Lan Chang'an verified it when Guan Qiaozhi failed and Foundation Establishment failed.

Squeak!

Earth Rock Rat appeared from the side of Lan Chang'an without even realizing it.

"Oh?"

Lan Chang'an listened for a moment, smiled on his face, and asked Earth Rock Rat to practice underground.

He murmured, "Xia Clan's top decision-makers did not disappoint me."

It turned out that when Xia Shenglan went to talk to Xia Mingqu, he was eavesdropped by Earth Rock Rat.

Under normal circumstances, Lan Chang'an will not explore other people's privacy, nor is he that interested.

However, Young Master Xia's attitude and decision-making will affect Lan Chang'an's future plans in the Xia Clan.

If Young Master Xia is confused by Yu Qin and feels grudge and hostility, Lan Chang'an will not stay with Clan Leader Xia.

"Yu Qin, this girl, is really trying to alienate her. If I am forced to leave, then Xin Family's strength will not be weaker than Xia Clan."

False Core Lineage like Xia Clan and Xin Family, and every Foundation Establishment Late Stage, are important figures in charge of one party.

What's more, it's Lan Chang'an, this extraordinary Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

As long as he is in charge of Qingsha Bay, Xia Clan's rear will be very stable and he can provide high-grade Talisman to the Xia Clan.

Considering the two doubts discovered previously, Lan Chang'an probably guessed Yu Qin's next plan.

A few days later, Lan Chang'an took the initiative to visit Dao Field of Xia Shenglan.

From the perspective of outsiders, the relationship between the two has a tendency of warming up and reuniting.

In fact, Lan Chang'an just used this to give some advice to Xia Shenglan.

As for whether Young Master Xia listens or not, Lan Chang'an doesn't care.

As a worshiper of the Xia Clan, he is not completely benevolent, but he has fulfilled his basic obligations.

The third day after Lan Chang'an visited Xia Shenglan.

Yu Qin came to Autumn Wind Island again to seek medicine.

Lan Chang'an was too lazy to pay attention, so this woman was rejected.

"There is no need for Talismans Master Lu to take care of the medicine I seek."

Yu Qin is not angry, his eyes are bright and his teeth are shining with hope.

She smiled and asked Xia Wenyue to pick some herbs and help prepare medicines and sachets.

After the purchase, Yu Qin did not forget to take Xia Wenyue and chat with him.

Yu Qin is the senior of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Xia Wenyue couldn't refuse, so he had to accompany him.

Lan Chang'an ignored this and let Earth Rock Rat take care of Xia Wenyue secretly.

Half Moon Empress.

Young Master Xia began to practice in seclusion and attacked Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

The cultivation progress of Xia Mingqu and Lan Chang'an can be seen at a glance.

Breaking through at this stage is no big problem.

But considering Xia Mingqu's age, it can definitely be polished for another year or two.

The reason for breaking through as soon as possible is probably to add the powerful combat power of Foundation Establishment Late Stage to Lineage.

The Xia and Xin tribes each have a Pseudo-Core True Person to check and balance each other.

Pseudo-Core True Person, the cultivation level cannot be improved, except for a few special beings, the strength is quite different.

What really affects the situation is the overhaul of Foundation Establishment Late Stage at the same level.

Xia Mingqu is in retreat.

Xia Shenglan and Yu Qin are waiting outside the door as guardians.

Considering the relationship between the two of them and Young Master Xia, it is reasonable.

A few days later.

Within Secret Chamber, a rising wave of Law Power surged, faintly touching the level of Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

But not long after, the rising momentum of the Law Power wave came to an abrupt halt and fell out of thin air.

Wow!

Inside Secret Chamber, Xia Mingqu spit out a mouthful of blue-purple poisonous blood, and the remaining Law Power shock wave blasted into the wall.

"Famous song!"

Xia Shenglan's expression changed, he opened the Secret Chamber door and broke in.

"What kind of poison is this? I've obviously checked the elixir..."

Xia Mingqu's handsome and fair face is mixed with green and red, his body is swaying slightly, and his expression is shocked and unbelievable.

In such a situation, it is obvious that the attack failed and the poisonous method backfired.

Yu Qin walked to the door of Secret Chamber and suddenly stopped.

Xia Shenglan looked back and glared angrily. "Yu Qin! Did you poison me?"

These days, apart from her, only Yu Qin and Young Master Xia had close contact.

As for Lan Chang'an, he has never been to Xia Mingqu's mansion since returning to the clan.

"Gee, that's not a highly poisonous medicine, but a mixed magic medicine, which is made by neutralizing the smell of perfume and several medicinal powders. As long as it hits the realm bottleneck, this mixed secret medicine will take effect, causing Qi and Blood to boil and Heart Barrier to occur frequently..."

Outside the door, the soft voice of Yu Qin came, with a sarcastic tone.

Don't wait for Xia Shenglan and Xia Mingqu to react.

The woman's voice has not yet finished.

The bare hands hidden in the sleeves of the pink skirt grasped a black ball and threw it into Secret Chamber.

Boom!

A ball of black fire exploded, covering ten feet, and at the same time, a large black poisonous smoke spread, covering dozens of feet in radius.

It doesn't matter what the outcome is.

Yu Qin, who was wearing a pink dress, turned into a Escape Light and leaped above the poisonous smoke.

"Gee, if it weren't for the herbs that Talismans Master Lu helped me with, I wouldn't have been able to succeed so smoothly."

Yu Qin's pretty face has a bright and rosy glow.

A pair of gleaming autumn eyes glanced playfully in the direction of Autumn Wind Island.

Before escaping, don't forget to splash some dirty water.

"Yu Qin! How dare you poison the young master!"

In Clear Water Bay's mansion, soon there was a clan elder named Foundation Establishment Realm, who ordered his clan members to hunt down Yu Qin.

Yu Qin was unhurried.

Most of the top executives of the Xia Clan are involved in the Xin tribe and sit at the helm of Merchant Association Headquarters and other branches to maintain the business industry.

Today, there are only four Foundation Establishment Realms in charge of the Qingsha Bay clan.

Among them are the foreign surnames Lan Chang'an.

Autumn Wind Island, where Lan Chang'an is located, is located in a remote place, some distance away from the hinterland of Qingsha Bay, so we can't get there quickly.

In other words, there are only three Xia Clan Foundation Establishment who are really chasing her.

However, Xia Mingqu and Xia Shenglan were injured by her plot and were unable to cope.

In fact, the biggest variable is Lan Chang'an.

Judging from the available information, with Lan Chang'an's strength, one person can take her down.

"Lan Chang'an, the most powerful one, was too late to support him. Moreover, with his name of the Liang Kingdom and "Turtle Talisman Master", he will protect his own safety and will never use all his strength!"

Yu Qin is sure of winning, very sure.

This comes from the intelligence of the forces behind it, as well as the result of my own exploration in the Xia Clan and my familiarity with the geographical environment.

Alas, I don't want to say more. I had erections twice in the first half of the year, and I became impotent, as if my energy was drained by a female ghost. Now I am bored with everything I do, including playing games, reading books, movies, washing my feet...

Make a wish: strive for stable updates in the second half of the year and earn some money for retirement.
