The Serpent Strikes the Vital Point

In the blink of an eye, three years passed.

The destruction of the Blazing Fire Palace has long been a thing of the past, and fewer and fewer monks are paying attention and discussing it.

Even in the Jing Kingdom, Liang Kingdom and other places, the traces of the Blazing Fire Palace monks are almost extinct.

In the Liang Kingdom Cultivation World, Golden Sun Sect who moved from the north initially stabilized the situation.

Autumn Wind Island, Medicine Garden.

Lan Chang'an, who is over 163 years old, is still youthful, with fair skin, gentle and handsome appearance.

"Blazing Fire Palace's monks have all moved away?"

Lan Chang'an stands with his hands behind his back, facing the shadow of the fruit tree behind him.

"Back to Mr. Lu, Blazing Fire Palace gathered hundreds of elite monks, took the third-order Spirit Ship, and headed to "Seven Nations Alliance" in the west."

Xing Peng's voice came from the shadows.

Lan Chang'an looked thoughtful, having heard something about the Seven Nations Alliance.

The Xiuxian Kingdom over there has more developed trade and is much stronger than the surrounding countries of the Feng Kingdom.

"You Wujian Gate have no idea about the migrated Blazing Fire Palace?"

"Blazing Fire Palace Zhendan has recovered from his injuries in the late stage of the overhaul, and many Zhendan have gathered together. We can't do anything with our small manpower. Even if the war starts, I, Wujian Gate, am not willing to confront a large number of monks head-on."

The hooded man in the shadow shook his head.

The intelligence area that Wujian Gate is responsible for is not limited to the surrounding areas of the Feng Kingdom and Seven Nations Alliance.

Wujian Gate has detailed operations for infiltrating areas that are at war or are about to be invaded.

"Supreme Elder of the Blazing Fire Palace, is there any whereabouts?"

Xia Wenyue is not on the island these days, so the communication between the two does not need to be particularly secretive.

"No."

Xing Peng said in surprise, "I have tested the rumors from above, and our sect seems to have lost the whereabouts of Master Lihuo. In recent years, the monks of Master Lihuo and Blazing Fire Palace have not had any contact with each other openly."

Lan Chang'an remained calm. Time is still short and it is difficult for the outside world to guess that Master Lihuo has perished.

For Nascent Soul True Lord's long life, it is not unusual to recuperate and practice and stay in seclusion for ten or twenty years.

If the time drags on too long and Master Lihuo has not shown up for another ten years, the outside world will become suspicious.

Judging from the current situation, Lan Chang'an is not too worried about involving himself.

By then, he had already become a true elixir monk and ranked among the upper echelons of several surrounding countries.

Unconsciously, Lan Chang'an was halfway through the eighth floor of Foundation Establishment, and was getting closer and closer to the ninth floor of Foundation Establishment.

Return to the training room.

Lan Chang'an closed his eyes and practiced, and he almost understood the <Dust-Returning Core Transformation Method> he traded from Zhang Tieshan.

There is no guidance from famous teachers, it all relies on Previous Life's vision and personal research and exploration.

Core Dissolution Method, very unpopular, extremely dangerous, so you have to be cautious.

Lan Chang'an Previous Life have no experience, so it is an unknown field.

Consciousness enters Nine Imprint Tablet in the mind.

Second Life and White-Bearded Elder are 70% lit, and they will be fully lit again in one or two years at most.

The Purple-Robed Daoist of Fourth Life is a ghostly shadow with uncertain brightness and darkness, which is more illusory than the Soul Shadow of the previous two lives.

In the past two or three years, Lan Chang'an has learned some useful information from the huge and complex memory fragments, some of which involve Blazing Fire Palace's secrets.

Nine Imprint Tablet has three ways of reincarnation. Lan Chang'an is currently leaning towards the second one, with the reincarnation Previous Life of the Nascent Soul Realm.

This method has the most stable income.

Among them, the one that touched his heart the most was the reflection he had when he transformed into a baby and passed through the calamity.

Lan Chang'an Previous Life means that the impact on the Nascent Soul Realm failed and the body died.

Of course, Lan Chang'an will not hang himself on a tree. It is best to follow the current and fulfill Master Lihuo's wish and settle the cause and effect.

You must never get yourself involved in the whirlpool of sect struggle.

The other two methods can also be used as alternatives, depending on the subsequent development of this life.

Early the next morning, Lan Chang'an completed the routine practice and Treasure Talisman cultivation.

Due to the limitation of cultivation level Law Power, those third-level Treasure Talisman made of Second-Order High-Grade have minimal nourishing effects.

The eight pieces of Treasure Talisman refined from Tongyou Spirit Bamboo are similar.

Especially for those two third-level high-quality products, Lan Chang'an basically cannot feel the change.

"The Law Power used for nourishment is too different from the Treasure Talisman grade. I'm afraid it won't be improved until Golden Core Realm."

After completing two daily routines, the time is approaching noon.

In the afternoon, it will be Lan Chang'an's time to plant flowers and grass, or delve into cultivating various arts.

In the evening, take two hours to practice Law Treasure Embryo with Foundation Establishment Spirit Fire from Evergreen Art.

Lan Chang'an is preparing to use the fourth-order Soul Nourishing Wood as the embryo of the future Wood Element Law Treasure.

Currently, it mainly contains the spirituality of Soul Nourishing Wood, and establishes a relationship with oneself through spiritual fire sacrifice.

What form of Law Treasure will be built in the future has not yet been determined.

It is best to hire a trustworthy third-level weapon refiner.

Lan Chang'an probably has an idea of the candidate for the weapon refiner.

At the same time, Talisman, Puppet, and alchemy are concurrently practiced. Lan Chang'an has no more energy to study other arts of cultivating immortals.

Among them, Second-Order Middle-Grade has not yet been promoted to alchemy, and Lan Chang'an has almost given up.

"Strange! Wen Yue hasn't come back yet?"

Three days later, Lan Chang'an took Mystic Water Turtle to breathe on Autumn Wind Island and noticed something abnormal.

In the past few years, the root causes of the disease in Xia Wenyue's body have been almost cured.

Her body is no longer weak. As a Foundation Establishment monk, it is impossible for her to stay in Autumn Wind Island all day.

Occasionally go out to communicate, relax, and go to Marketplace and Immortal City to purchase supplies.

Lan Chang'an knows very well that truly powerful monks have to go through the hardships of wind and rain, and flowers in the greenhouse cannot become great achievements.

Until the evening of that day.

A white Escape Light filled with cold air staggered and fell onto Autumn Wind Island.

Lan Chang'an's complexion changed slightly, his body flashed, and he supported Xia Wenyue, whose breath was disordered and his face was pale.

"Mr. Lu... I was attacked."

Xia Wenyue's hair is messy, her white dress is like snow, torn and stained with blood.

There was a deep wound on the shoulder and lower back, stained with burnt blood, as if it had been injured by Law Technique or Law Treasure.

Fortunately, the injuries are not fatal and are not life-threatening.

"Who did it?"

Lan Chang'an was angry and entered Evergreen Mana to stabilize Xia Wenyue's injury.

"It's a Pseudo-Core True Person, wearing a black outfit that hides his appearance. If it weren't for the life-saving trump card given by Mr. Lu and the patriarch, Wen Yue might not be able to come back today."

Xia Wenyue's heart was still frightened, her chest was heaving, and her pale and pretty face gradually returned to calm.

After a moment, a False Core-level Escape Light landed on Autumn Wind Island.

It comes from none other than the patriarch Xia Hongyu.

Seeing the injured Xia Wenyue, Xia Hongyu's face was as gloomy as water. Even if he cultivated his health and cultivated his nature, there was anger in his eyes.

"Mr. Lu, Wen Yue, how are you injured?" Xia Hongyu suppressed his anger and looked at Xia Wenyue with concern.

"Clan Leader Xia Don't worry, Wen Yue's injury is not particularly serious and the foundation has not been shaken. He will be fine after a period of cultivation."

Lan Chang'an's words settled the heavy stone in Xia Hongyu's heart.

Half an hour later.

After completing the inquiry, Clan Leader Xia and Lan Chang'an discussed secretly in the study room.

"Judging from the attacker's methods described by Wen Yue, they look very much like "New Moon Merchant Association"'s Old Ghost Wu!"

"That old immortal is so shameless! The dignified Pseudo-Core True Person unexpectedly attacked a Foundation Establishment Early Stage girl."

Xia Hongyu is no longer the elegance of the past, and is angry and frustrated.

Xia Wenyue's life-saving cards include Talisman Treasure, Quasi-Third-Order amulet, third-level Escape Talisman, etc.

In terms of life-saving means, it is no worse than Core Disciple of Nascent Soul sect.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for Xia Wenyue to come back alive under Pseudo-Core True Person's attack.

"How is the clan leader going to deal with this?"

Lan Chang'an said with a calm expression.

The cause and effect of this incident is probably that New Moon Merchant Association doubted Xia Wenyue's qualifications and wanted to strangle him in the cradle.

It's not that Innate Dao Body of Xia Wenyue was leaked.

But the one who knows you best is always your enemy.

Hostile forces will inevitably study every key figure in the Xia Clan.

Lan Chang'an once gave Xia Hongyu advice and sent Xia Wenyue to the Nascent Soul-level sect. Jing Kingdom's three sects were not qualified.

Xia Hongyu always wanted to keep Xia Wenyue in Lineage. As long as Xia Wenyue cultivated to the true elixir, he would have passed the dangerous period.

"Old Ghost Wu attacks a genius of his own clan. Naturally, Xia will fight back, tooth for tooth."

Xia Hongyu's eyes were cold and he did not hide his murderous intent.

Lan Chang'an understood what he meant.

Since you plotted to attack the genius of the Xia Clan, then I will also attack your genius.

Xia Wenyue was attacked, and it was useless to look for the Merchant Alliance.

For this kind of incident, Merchant Alliance's method of handling is that whoever makes the claim must provide evidence.

If Xia Clan suspects that Old Ghost Wu is responsible, he must provide ironclad evidence on his own.

Unless it is a particularly egregious case with great influence, Merchant Alliance senior officials will send people to strictly investigate it.

"Old Ghost Wu must be prepared if he misses. If Clan Leader Xia retaliates against their genius, it will be difficult to be effective. Maybe he will fall into their trap."

Lan Chang'an does not agree with Xia Hongyu's retaliatory measures.

"Haha, Xia actually didn't plan to do it himself. He waited until the news came out and spent a lot of money to hire a black market killer to come forward."

"As long as there are enough Spirit Stone, we can hire killers of False Core level."

Xia Hongyu is worthy of being a monk of the health preserving school. He is too old to do anything.

"If you just kill one or two late-stage talents, you won't solve the fundamental problem."

Lan Chang'an sighed.

"Daoist Lu, what do you think?" Xia Hongyu looked over in confusion.

"Hit the snake within seven inches. To capture the thief, capture the king first."

"Daoist Lu means Old Ghost Wu who killed New Moon Merchant Association?"

Xia Hongyu frowned slightly, feeling a little whimsical.

"To kill a veteran False Core like Old Ghost Wu, at least two people of the same level must be mobilized, or even a real elixir, which Xia cannot afford."

There is generally not much difference in strength between False Core.

Defeat is normal.

The difficulty of killing is quite high.

"An old friend of True Person whom Lu once met in the Liang Kingdom has outstanding strength and is sure to kill False Core. That True Person happens to be in the Jing Kingdom recently and lacks Spirit Stone and third-level spiritual objects and herbs..."

Lan Chang'an said slowly.

"Daoist Lu's old friend, is he really sure of killing Pseudo-Core True Person?"

Xia Hongyu looked at Lan Chang'an strangely.

This well-known good old man can actually contact a powerful killer?

"You're 60% sure, Clan Leader Xia, are you willing to give it a try?"

"In terms of remuneration..."

Xia Hongyu hesitated, fearing that he could not afford it.

"You only need to hire twice the reward of a normal False Core killer. If the kill fails, the reward will be refunded."

"Okay! Xia doesn't believe in the killer, but he believes in Daoist Lu's character and integrity."

Xia Hongyu made a decision quickly.

As long as Grand Elder of the New Moon Merchant Association is killed, the biggest threat of the Five Blessings Merchant Association will be defeated without attack.

New Moon Merchant Association The other False Core is the defeated subordinate of Xia Hongyu, so there is nothing to worry about.

Two days later, Xia Hongyu came to Autumn Wind Island again and handed a Storage Bag to Lan Chang'an.

"Clan Leader Xia Don't worry, I'll take the time to contact that old friend secretly."

Lan Chang'an glanced at the large pile of Spirit Stone and several third-level spiritual herbs in Storage Bag, and nodded with a smile.

After Xia Hongyu left.

Lan Chang'an withdraws 30% of the income from Storage Bag and throws it into the ground.

Squeak!

Earth Rock Rat surfaced from the ground and swallowed Storage Bag in one gulp.

"In another six or seven years, I will be promoted to the ninth floor of Foundation Establishment and prepare for the Golden Core Realm. During this period, stability is more important than anything else!"

Lan Chang'an thought in his heart.

He is willing to help Xia Clan solve hidden dangers due to various considerations.

First, Xia Wenyue was in danger, which made Lan Chang'an unhappy.

Xia Wenyue is the seed he sowed, which is related to Nascent Soul fortuitous opportunity in the distant future.

Secondly, the road of the Golden Core Realm is getting closer and closer, and a stable cultivation environment is needed.

Thirdly, Earth Rock Rat needs to be self-reliant to increase opportunities for actual combat.

As for the doubts that may be exposed in this matter, Lan Chang'an has naturally considered it.

After being together for so many years, he knew Xia Hongyu's personality quite clearly, and he was the same type of person as himself.

Furthermore, he has stayed in the Xia Clan for so many years, and after the Golden Core Realm, he will say goodbye to this place.

When he achieves the true elixir, all the little doubts he had in the past are not worth mentioning.

As a veteran of Cultivation World, who doesn't have some connections and little secrets?

The next day, Lan Chang'an went out and came back within two days.

Earth Rock Rat is engaged in the assassination industry for the first time and lacks experience.

He asked Incense Master of Wujian Gate to help collect information, check for omissions and fill in the gaps, and impart some experience.

Clan Leader Xia has been paying attention to the movements of Lan Chang'an since he paid the reward.

Lan Chang'an During the two days when he went out, he was inevitably a little worried, would the other party run away?

Fortunately, Lan Chang'an came back soon, and everything was restored as before.

In the following days, Clan Leader Xia fell into anxious waiting, thinking about this matter every day.

After all, a huge amount of compensation was paid, and this matter is of no small importance, as it affects the fate of the two major chambers of commerce.

If it fails and leaves something to be desired, it may lead to backlash.

Until two Moon Empress.

Exciting news came that Grand Elder Wu Feng of the New Moon Merchant Association died in a mysterious assassination and his body was not found.

Something happened, so the word count will be shorter today. Golden Core Realm The plot is coming soon..
