Deeper

Thousands of miles away from Qingsha Bay, there is a medium-to-large Marketplace built next to the river, named "Heluo Marketplace".

The person in charge of this Marketplace is Jing Kingdom Merchant Alliance who is quite famous New Moon Merchant Association.

A few days later.

Heluo Marketplace In the attic at the highest point.

New Moon Merchant Association Digital executives gathered together in a solemn atmosphere.

The silver-bearded man sitting at the top, with eyes like a falcon and emitting Dan power fluctuations from his body, is clearly a Pseudo-Core True Person.

"Fang Guest Elder, what is your opinion on the death of Vice President Kou Sen?"

The eyes of several senior executives fell on a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Purple Mask big man, who looked thoughtful.

It was Fang Zhong who smuggled into the Jing Kingdom along with Lan Chang'an.

"President Le, I suspect this matter is related to Lan Chang'an!"

Fang Zhong said something amazing.

"It's impossible based on Lan Chang'an alone!"

"Kou Sen has the top combat power among Foundation Establishment Late Stage. He has Tier 3 Talisman and other trump cards. He has certain self-protection capabilities when facing Pseudo-Core True Person."

"Even if Pseudo-Core True Person wants to kill Kou Sen, it will take a lot of effort and there will definitely be a fuss."

"Although Lan Chang'an is very powerful, with his "Turtle Talisman Master" nature, he will never put himself in danger to fight against a powerful enemy."

The senior officials of the chamber of commerce present shook their heads.

"Fang Guest Elder, what is the basis for your suspicion of Lan Chang'an?" The silver-bearded man was surprised and his eyes flashed.

"First, it's Fang's intuition."

Fang Zhong paused, with a sharp look in his eyes, "Back then, on the Jiuchen Merchant Association's multinational company Spirit Ship, the two of us lived next to each other and stayed together for two months, but we were completely kept in the dark by him. This shows that Lan Chang'an is hiding very deep."

"Secondly, Xia Clan Territory, apart from the clan leader Xia Hongyu, Lan Chang'an is the strongest. Others can hardly threaten Vice President Kou."

After listening to Fang Zhong's remarks, one or two senior officials of the Chamber of Commerce looked thoughtful and slightly shaken.

Maybe Lan Chang'an can't do it alone, but if Five Blessings Merchant Association has other secret hands, this possibility exists.

At this moment, President Silverbeard, who was sitting at the top, took out a piece of shimmering breast White Jade Pendant, closed his eyes and took two breaths.

"The information just returned from the Xia Clan shows that during Kou Sen's death, Lan Chang'an never left Qingsha Bay. Many people have seen it. As of the date when the information was obtained, he had not left Autumn Wind Island for half a step."

President Ginsu glanced at Fang Zhong with a cold gaze.

A senior member of the Chamber of Commerce shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Fang, maybe there is a gap between you and Lan Chang'an, but don't let personal grudges affect your judgment."

"I... didn't!"

Under the questioning gaze of everyone, Fang Zhong blushed, but was unable to refute.

He gritted his teeth secretly, was it really his illusion?

A few years ago, Lan Chang'an's identity was exposed, and Fang Zhong was shocked.

He is from the Liang Kingdom, and I have heard the inspirational rumors about Lan Chang'an's old age Foundation Establishment a long time ago.

Later, he focused on investigating Lan Chang'an's information, and increasingly felt that the other party was hiding something secret.

Apart from anything else, with Lan Chang'an's qualifications and age, it is not easy to cultivate to Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

After two months of getting along day and night, I kept the sect elites who were fellow practitioners in the dark and didn't find any clues, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Vice President Kou is dead. We will use force to target Five Blessings Merchant Association, so we will lose a big help."

"In my opinion, there is no need to use those conspiracies. We will increase our support for the Xin people, use Pseudo-Core True Person's numerical advantage, and exert pressure internally and externally..."

Fang Zhong was not interested in subsequent high-level discussions.

Although the information from the Chamber of Commerce eliminated the suspicion of Lan Chang'an as the murderer, he still felt that the matter was inseparable from the other party.

Fang Zhong sighed in his heart, but unfortunately, these people would not believe him.

Half Moon Empress.

Autumn Wind Island Mansion, inside the pharmacy.

Xia Wenyue is wearing a light blue cloud skirt, with a picturesque face and a willow-slender waist. Most of the smoke from the past has disappeared between the eyebrows, and a faint expectation appears between the eyebrow lines.

Today, it is the day for Lan Chang'an to help her warm up and ward off the cold.

The warmth of Mr. Lu and Law Power gives her an indescribable kindness, warmth, freshness, and extraordinary comfort.

This method has stabilized her condition and is expected to get rid of the shackles of her childhood illness.

After waiting for a long time, Lan Chang'an dressed in white entered the pharmacy.

"Mr. Lu."

She was quiet and docile, lying flat on the hospital bed.

This time, Lan Chang'an did not take immediate action to treat her.

"With the previous warm and nourishing treatment, I have driven away the cold poison on the surface of your body, and now I have to eradicate the underlying causes. Every time I take action after that, Lu will consume his energy and energy, and may even affect his cultivation advancement."

Lan Chang'an calmly narrated.

"No matter what Mr. Lu needs Wen Yue to do, the little girl will do it."

The two had an agreement before, and Xia Wenyue knew very well that Lan Chang'an could not help him without asking for anything.

If you really don't want to repay, you should be vigilant.

Mr. Lu once said that free things are often the most expensive.

"Lu doesn't need you to be a cow or a horse and wait for me for the rest of your life. As long as you make a Heart Demon Oath promise and agree to one of my requests."

Lan Chang'an smiled lightly.

Hearing this, a trace of surprise appeared in Xia Wenyue's eyes. To cure the cause of her disease, Mr. Lu might have to spend more than ten years of energy, and the price would be quite high.

She was originally prepared to devote herself to serving him for the rest of her life.

At least, Mr. Lu is as handsome as jade and has an extraordinary temperament, so she has no repulsion.

"Mr. Lu Please speak clearly." Xia Wenyue stood up and said straightly.

"In the future, if you reach the mid-to-late stage of the Golden Core Realm, the only portion of "Lunar Jade Liquid" that the Daoist body can nurture must be given to Lu."

"Furthermore, you must keep this agreement confidential and not disclose it to anyone else."

"Lunar Jade Liquid?"

Xia Wenyue still doesn't know the role of his Innate Dao Body at this moment.

Lan Chang'an no longer concealed it, and told Xia Wenyue some of the records of the Daoist body of "Cold Soul Jade Marrow".

To breed "Lunar Jade Liquid", one must remain as pure as jade until the middle and late stages of the Golden Core Realm, and Xia Wenyue must cooperate.

Of course, Lan Chang'an did not tell her the role of Lunar Jade Liquid yet.

"This is not difficult, Wen Yue is willing..."

Xia Wenyue agreed without hesitation, without even asking the reason.

"Isn't it difficult?" Lan Chang'an smiled inwardly.

Even at Earth Spiritual Root's cultivation speed, it would take at least a hundred years for Xia Wenyue to reach the mid-to-late stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Even the legendary immortals also have seven emotions and six desires.

What's more, immortal cultivators are essentially mortals. During the long years of cultivation, it is not easy to suppress physical and human ethics.

"I'm Xia Wenyue here..."

Soon, Xia Wenyue made the Inner Demon oath, his eyebrows relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

It is equivalent to saying that Lan Chang'an cured her disease and had no restrictions on her life except what she asked for.

These demands and efforts were much more relaxed than she expected.

Lan Chang'an naturally thought carefully about the reason why he relaxed the conditions.

There are too many variables in the long wait of more than a hundred years.

According to the conventional thinking, Lan Chang'an should take the "cultivation" route, take good care of it, and invest a lot of resources to help Xia Wenyue develop to the mid-to-late stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Lan Chang'an raised two Spirit Pet, life is not easy, and I don't want to have another bottle of blood transfused.

Moreover, Xia Wenyue has a beautiful face and good looks, and Innate Dao Body has amazing talent. She can be said to be the proud daughter of heaven.

In the process of growing up, you will inevitably attract bees and butterflies, which will bring you a lot of trouble.

Lan Chang'an doesn't want to keep cleaning up the aftermath and wiping her butt.

Even if there is no Taixuan Jade Liquid, he still hopes to be promoted to the Nascent Soul Realm in this life.

"The investment is high, the risks are high, there are many variables, and the future returns are unclear..."

Therefore, Lan Chang'an finally rejected the development route.

To take this route, he'd better marry Xia Wenyue to become dao companion.

Otherwise, with Innate Dao Body's qualifications, Xia Wenyue's cultivation level will most likely catch up with the Golden Core Realm's mid to late stage, and his mentality will change in the future.

Not to mention, it is not a good experience to have a beautiful fairy by your side who cannot be touched for more than a hundred years.

"Today, I randomly sow a seed and adopt a free-range method to facilitate her experience and growth..."

Lan Chang'an's plan is only to provide appropriate assistance and guidance in the early stages of Xia Wenyue's practice.

In this way, his contribution will be relatively small.

As long as Xia Wenyue doesn't die midway, he can at least cultivate to the level of Lan Chang'an Previous Life, and even faster.

Even if this woman regrets it in the future, Lan Chang'an doesn't mind negotiating terms or getting a favor from Peak Core Formation.

Lan Chang'an added "This agreement is confidential and shall not be disclosed to others" in the oath of Inner Demon in order to prevent certain variables and risks.

Half an hour later, Lan Chang'an completed the warming treatment of Xia Wenyue.

This time, he secretly cast Evergreen Secret Technique, consuming a small amount of lifespan.

Curing the root cause of Xia Wenyue's disease will cost at most one or two months of life. Compared to Lan Chang'an's five hundred years of life, it is insignificant, and even far less than the consumption of performing some secret techniques.

As in the past, Lan Chang'an will gradually recover from Xia Wenyue's illness over a long period of time.

In this way, it will not be too conspicuous in the eyes of outsiders.

"After this warm-up treatment, my body seems to be lighter."

Xia Wenyue noticed that this warm-up was unusual.

Looking at the man in white with a weak face and beads of sweat on his forehead, her eyes moved and she felt grateful.

Xia Wenyue bit his lower lip lightly and secretly made up his mind.

"You have now cultivated to Qi Refining Eighth Layer. You have made good progress and your health is much better. However, the Cultivation Method you have cultivated is far from worthy of Innate Dao Body. It is a waste of natural resources."

Before Lan Chang'an left, he took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Xia Wenyue.

"From now on, you can switch to this course Cultivation Method."

"Thank you Mr. Lu."

Xia Wenyue took Jade Slip and put it on his forehead, and found that it was a cold attribute Cultivation Method named <Ice Seal Ancient Scroll>, which can be repaired to Late Core Formation.

<Ice Seal Ancient Scroll> is a Cultivation Method obtained by Lan Chang'an Previous Life in Great Kun. It is said that it comes from a Nascent Soul sect that was destroyed many years ago. There is no dispute.

This Cultivation Method is very powerful, but requires high qualifications for Root Bone, and it is incomplete.

Lan Chang'an Previous Life Spirit Root attributes do not match, and it was obtained only after the Golden Core Realm, so it seems to be useless.

"Great Kun of Previous Life and Great Qing of this life, although they live in the same Tianheng Continent, they are separated by an unknown distance."

Lan Chang'an is not worried about what information this Cultivation Method will reveal.

A Moon Empress.

Over the mountains south of the Jing Kingdom.

A team of the Merchant Alliance monks drove several flying carriages and shuttled through the clouds and mist.

Cultivation World's large-scale material transportation still requires fleet containers, and Escort Guard is even more essential.

The transportation of a large amount of materials cannot be solved by a single monk carrying multiple Storage Bag.

Because, the Storage Bag of the immortal cultivator does not have its own space.

The ordinary Storage Bag does not have much space, which is about the size of an ordinary room.

As a result, it will be constrained by size and weight.

Especially weight-bearing.

Although Storage Bag and Restriction can significantly reduce the load, if there are too many goods, it will be too much for the cultivator.

If a Foundation Establishment monk carries multiple Storage Bag loaded with millions of kilograms of iron ore materials, he will not be able to fly at all even after the Restriction reduces the load.

Otherwise, the speed of traveling will be greatly reduced.

"True Person Liu, an unknown monk appears ahead."

A canyon came into view, and the convoy slowed down its flight speed. Numerous Escort Guard protected the convoy and stood ready.

"Hmph! So bold and blatantly intercepting my Snow Fox Merchant Association caravan."

In the quaint carriage in the middle, an old man in a green shirt snorted coldly, and his voice sounded like muffled thunder, resounding through the sky.

The old man in green shirt is Pseudo-Core True Person who is escorting Snow Fox Merchant Association this time.

Sixty-seven figures appeared among the clouds ahead, wearing bronze masks.

Although the number of people is not as good as here, their cultivation levels are all above Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. The leader is also Pseudo-Core True Person, who exudes spiritual pressure of False Core level without showing any signs of weakness.

True Person Liu in the carriage felt uneasy and felt an inexplicable chill down his spine, as if he had been swept by a powerful Divine Sense.

Thinking of the fact that the enemy had no advantage but was killing them carelessly, True Person Liu suddenly felt bad.

Before his eyes, a brutal fight was about to take place.

Suddenly, the six or seven figures intercepted in front seemed to have been ordered to evacuate unwillingly.

It gives people an inexplicable, anticlimactic feeling.

In the valley below, in the dense forest.

A female cultivator of true alchemy with long lavender hair and proud curves, like an orchid in an empty valley, isolated from the world.

She was originally staring at the Chamber of Commerce motorcade above her, but suddenly her expression turned serious, and she felt a bone-chilling chill coming from the soles of her feet.

That was a powerful Yao Qi message of true elixir that could threaten her, and its strength might be superior to hers.

"Snow Fox Merchant Association, indeed got the favor and protection from Third-Order Great Demon."

Fu Xuemei had no expression on his face and simply stood there without taking any action.

Third-Order Great Demon, hiding underground, just stared at her, checking and balancing each other.

Due to the deep rock formations and the Demon Power isolation of the real elixir demon, her Divine Sense could not detect its appearance.

After a long time, the Third-Order Great Demon slowly retreated.

"Ten Thousand Beasts Merchant Association's Lao Huang promised that this time I take action, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I will provide clues to the recovery of "Earth Dragon Beast"."

Fu Xuemei was secretly relieved.

According to the agreement, she will not fight with the powerful Zhendan. At most, she will kill or seriously injure the team leader Pseudo-Core True Person.

Fu Xuemei has not joined Ten Thousand Beasts Merchant Association, it is just a temporary cooperation.

I think she can join, but Earth Dragon Beast sealed by Petrification must be rescued.

It's a pity that even Ten Thousand Beasts Merchant Association, Jing Kingdom who is best at controlling beasts, seems powerless against this.

Fortunately, Ten Thousand Beasts Merchant Association's "True Person Yellow Wolf" knows how to revive Earth Dragon Beast.

Under hundreds of feet of rock formations.

A layer of Earth-Yellow Halo envelopes one person and one mouse.

The complete body of Earth Rock Rat is two feet long, and there is no problem in being used as a mount.

But in terms of comfort, it is far inferior to Mystic Water Turtle.

This rat was scurrying around in the ground. An ordinary monk would have fainted from vomiting.

"The first promise I owed Snow Fox Merchant Association was completed easily."

"Unexpectedly, the true elixir monk Ten Thousand Beasts Merchant Association invited was actually Fu Xuemei..."

Lan Chang'an A little surprised, but not surprised.

In recent years, affected by the war, many monks from the Liang Kingdom moved to the Jing Kingdom.

Among them, there are very few true elixir overhauls, but Fu Xuemei is one of them.

Back then, the disintegration of the Yellow Dragon Mountain lineage had the tacit approval of the Blazing Fire Palace. Naturally, Fu Xuemei would not stay in the Liang Kingdom to help the sect resist the invasion of the Golden Sun Sect camp.

Lan Chang'an has been practicing in the Jing Kingdom for more than ten years, and has heard some rumors.

It is said that several large chambers of commerce tried to win over Fu Xuemei, but all failed.

Lan Chang'an and Fu Xuemei have long since settled their grudges.

He didn't take this woman's appearance seriously.

As the war continues, more monks Liang Kingdom may come into his sight in the future.

After secretly escorting Snow Fox Merchant Association's caravan to its destination, Lan Chang'an embarked on the return journey.

When I came back, I passed by Yunyan Immortal City and collected Third-Order Beast Pill's reward at the Snow Fox Merchant Association's residence.

Back to Autumn Wind Island, Lan Chang'an devoted part of his mind to practice and gave guidance to Xia Wenyue's practice.

Xia Wenyue The original introductory Cultivation Method has no attributes, so it was very smooth to switch to <Ice Seal Ancient Scroll>.

After switching to the cold attribute Cultivation Method, Xia Wenyue's cultivation speed increased significantly.

Preliminary evaluation of Lan Chang'an shows that it is faster than the ordinary Earth Spiritual Root.

Not only that, the cold nature Law Power and the power of Law Technique cultivated by Xia Wenyue are stronger than those described in <Ice Seal Ancient Scroll>.

"As expected of Innate Dao Body, the son of Dao."

Lan Chang'an felt unspeakable envy in his heart, and even felt a little bit sour.

Not to mention the fast cultivation speed, Law Power Divine Ability also has the bonus of treasure body, and the combat power is beyond the same level.

It's really irritating to see people compare to each other.

Xia Wenyue If your luck is better, your future achievements will be immeasurable.

One day in the future, Lan Chang'an might really want to hug this woman's thigh.

In the blink of an eye, one and a half years have passed.

While Xia Wenyue is making rapid progress, Lan Chang'an is not idle either.

He has been cultivating at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment for fifteen years, and his cultivation has finally advanced to the next level.
