Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer

After Xia Wenyue left, Autumn Wind Island became much deserted, with only two newly recruited apprentices left.

The first drug boy, Xia Mingcheng, has already left the profession.

Every morning, Lan Chang'an practices routine to cultivate Treasure Talisman, which is unbeatable.

Due to the time limit of Evergreen Art, his daily practice progress has an upper limit, and if more time is added, the elixir will be ineffective.

After noon, it is the time for Lan Chang'an to study the various arts of cultivating immortals. Recently, the focus is on Puppet skills.

His Puppet skills reached Quasi-Third-Order many years ago, which is considered very proficient.

In recent years, I have obtained a lot of third-level materials, and Lan Chang'an tried to get involved in the third-level Puppet Master level.

Speaking of which, the Third-Order Puppet Inheritance in the hands of Lan Chang'an was traded from True Person Yellow Dragon back then.

The third-level mark is not so easy to break through. Lan Chang'an's previous advantage over Divine Sense has been slightly reduced.

Every time Nine Imprint Tablet is reborn, the feedback to the soul Divine Sense is that the early realms are large. The gap between subsequent realms is large, and the gain is not so exaggerated.

Even so, Lan Chang'an's Puppet talent is still Higher Vehicle.

As long as Golden Core Realm is successful, Divine Sense Law Power will rise sharply, and it will become a third-level Puppet Master.

"Huh? Core Formation Cultivator is visiting again?"

Lan Chang'an was polishing the parts of Puppet when he suddenly felt something and looked towards a certain direction of Qingsha Bay.

A few months ago.

Jing Kingdom The three major sects and other major immortal cultivating forces sent Core Formation Cultivator to Qingsha Bay, who had the true elixir False Core, to recruit Xia Wenyue.

Qingsha Bay monks are not surprised by this.

At this time, Lan Chang'an frowned, noticing something unusual.

First, the Zhendan monk who flew over, Law Power, seemed irritable and unscrupulous.

Secondly, major forces came to visit Qingsha Bay, and this period of limelight has passed.

"May I ask who True Person is coming?"

Today Qingsha Bay, the person in charge is the young master Xia Mingqu.

His father, Xia Yongzhong, has to take care of the affairs at the helm of the Five Blessings Merchant Association.

The patriarch took Xia Wenyue to the Feng Kingdom.

Foundation Establishment Late Stage and Xia Mingqu are already able to stand alone.

However, facing the menacing True Pill monks, I was still a little worried.

"Chen Kingdom"Heavenly Net Sect", Taihu Xie Clan's direct lineage, Xie Wuji!"

On the huge Iron Fan Law Treasure, there is a handsome young man in a splendid robe, who looks to be in his mid-twenties and has a calm expression.

"Chen Kingdom, Taihu Xie Clan?"

Locked by the evil gaze of the Zhendan cultivator, Xia Mingqu felt a chill in his heart, and the powerful spiritual pressure made it difficult for him to breathe.

Taihu Xie Clan's name made him sweat.

Taihu Xie Clan, not only Chen Kingdom's first cultivator Aristocratic Clan.

It is also the Lineage faction with the strongest Nascent Soul-level force "Heavenly Net Sect".

To describe it as a faction is even to put it in a flattering light.

The general sect of cultivating immortals is inclusive, accepting all rivers and recruiting disciples with innocent identities from all over the world, including Aristocratic Clan and Rogue Cultivator.

Heavenly Net Sect is a weird one, almost developed into a Lineage-style sect by the Taihu Xie Clan.

The origin of everything stems from the promotion of "Old Ancestor Xie" from the Heavenly Net Sect hundreds of years ago to Nascent Soul.

Since then, Heavenly Net Sect has vigorously supported the disciples of the Xie Clan.

Xie Clan disciples have priority in resources within the sect.

If he is a talented disciple from a foreign race, he will use both grace and power to win over and marry him as much as possible.

Are you dissatisfied with the Heavenly Net Sect's domineering injustice and want to join other sects?

It doesn't matter!

Old Ancestor Xie of the Heavenly Net Sect, with his iron-blooded tactics, has already conquered several other sects of the Chen Kingdom and turned them into vassals of the Heavenly Net Sect.

Other sects must submit Heavenly Net Sect on time.

You are not allowed to train Golden Core monks, otherwise you will face the disaster of annihilation.

It can be said that Taihu Xie Clan and Chen Kingdom cover the sky with one hand.

Under such a background, many monks in the Xie Clan are used to being domineering in the Chen Kingdom.

After going to the Feng Kingdom, I will be more honest and restrained.

Come to the Jing Kingdom Cultivation World, that is the uncle.

Jing Kingdom Merchant Alliance, all direct descendants of the Xie Clan should be treated politely.

The current Xie Wuji is not only a direct descendant of the Xie Clan, but also a true elixir cultivator. His status can be imagined.

Back then, Xie Wuji played with Xia Wenyue's mother's feelings. Why did Xia Clan dare not say anything and finally dealt with it in a low-key manner?

Because I learned that it comes from the Chen Kingdom Xie Clan.

But at that time, I didn't know the specific identity of Xie Wuji in the Chen Kingdom Xie Clan.

In the gap of Xia Mingqu's surprise.

Poof!

Like a small mountain, Iron Fan Law Treasure, with an understatement, opened a huge gap in the Xia Clan's Clan Protection Array.

Even if Xia Clan's Clan Protection Array is fully activated, it cannot block the Law Treasure attack of the Zhendan monk.

Xie Wuji put away Law Treasure, condescendingly, and entered Xia Clan Territory with his hands behind his back.

"Thank you True Person, you are..."

Xia Mingqu looked ugly, and the other party broke into the formation unscrupulously. Strictly speaking, it was equivalent to declaring war on the Xia Clan's invasion.

But now, Xia Clan's only False Core clan leader is not here, and the opponent is Chen Kingdom Xie Clan's true elixir monk, so Qingsha Bay has no possibility of confrontation.

Xia Mingqu could only swallow his anger and did not dare to have an attack.

"Xia Hongyu That old guy hasn't come back yet?"

Xie Wuji asked in a deep voice without his feet touching the ground.

"Thank you True Person. The clan has left Feng Kingdom for a long time and has not returned yet."

Young Master Xia responded carefully.

"My subordinate, Xia Mingqu, is temporarily managing the affairs of Lineage. I would like to thank True Person for your visit. Do you have any advice?"

"I'm asking you a few things. If you dare to hide anything, don't blame me True Person for being ruthless!"

There was anger in Xie Wuji's tone, and he refused Xia Clan's reception and found a pavilion to sit down.

Xia Mingqu stood beside him uneasily.

"Thank you True Person. Excuse me."

At this time, Xia Mingqu vaguely guessed that the reason for Xie Wuji's anger was probably related to Xia Wenyue's defection to the Proud Moon Palace.

Even if Xie Wuji has not been to the Xia Clan for decades, he has never seen Xia Wenyue.

However, one fact cannot be denied:

He is the biological father of Xia Wenyue.

"When was Wen Yue discovered? Innate Dao Body..."

Xie Wuji asked several questions in succession, all related to Xia Wenyue.

As for Xia Wenyue's mother, not a word was mentioned.

Xia Mingqu responded cautiously, not daring to hide anything in the general direction.

In fact, he didn't know some of the details.

Regarding the secret qualifications of Xia Wenyue, in Qingsha Bay Xia Clan, only Lan Chang'an and the clan leader know the inside story.

"I heard that Wen Yue has a teacher in the Xia Clan named Lan Chang'an, nicknamed Turtle Talisman Master? He is good at warming and conditioning. He was the first to discover Innate Dao Body of Wen Yue?"

Xie Wuji said in an indifferent tone.

"Yes." Young Master Xia said bravely.

Regarding this matter, the outside world has long had relevant rumors: Lan Chang'an repaired Longevity Cultivation Art, who was good at warming and conditioning. He spent more than ten years curing Xia Wenyue's strange disease, and accidentally discovered the latter's amazing qualifications.

Xia Wenyue wants to become Lan Chang'an's teacher out of gratitude.

Lan Chang'an considered himself unworthy, so he only taught him pharmacological knowledge and accepted him as Registered Disciple in name only.

Finally, Xia Wenyue was sent to the Proud Moon Palace.

Lan Chang'an is highly praised by the outside world for its high integrity and selflessness.

For a time, Lan Chang'an's good reputation was also slightly famous among the Jing Kingdom Cultivation World.

"As for Lan Chang'an, have you ever recommended Xia Wenyue to the Proud Moon Palace?"

"This... junior doesn't know that clearly."

Xia Mingqu secretly complained that this matter was at best a guess and he dared not confirm it.

Snap!

Xia Mingqu tilted his head, leaving hot palm prints on his handsome face.

"If you dare to hide it again, I, True Person, will destroy your cultivation."

Xie Wuji's voice was cold to the bone.

Xia Mingqu's brain went blank, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.

His body was burning with anger, but his body was cold and stiff, and he didn't dare to say a word.

"Take this True Person to meet Lan Chang'an!"

Xie Wuji Core Formation True Person's Law Power breath, undisguised.

Autumn Wind Island has just arrived, and Lan Chang'an is already waiting outside the mansion.

"Lu Gongfeng, this is the biological father of Aunt Xie True Person, Wen Yue, Chen Kingdom Heavenly Net Sect, Taihu Xie Clan..."

Xia Mingqu, whose face was red and swollen, forced a smile and introduced it immediately.

Actually, no introduction is needed from him.

The previous conversation between Xie Wuji and Xia Mingqu was eavesdropped by Earth Rock Rat who was hiding underground.

"Are you Lan Chang'an, Wen Yue's teacher?"

Xie Wuji looked surprised when he saw the quiet, jade-like, unusually young man in white.

Even on the way here, he had already learned the information about Lan Chang'an.

"I'm not Lan Chang'an, I can't be Wen Yue's teacher. It's just an exchange of medicine and pharmacology."

Lan Chang'an is calm and humble.

He didn't want to be slapped in public like Young Master Xia.

Taihu Xie Clan's domineering reputation is something that even Lan Chang'an and Jing Kingdom have heard of.

"How old are you this year?"

"It's only two months before I turn one hundred and sixty-five. It's because of Longevity Cultivation Art and I've taken Youth Preservation Pill that I look younger."

"One hundred and sixty-five years old?"

Xie Wuji frowned, his eyes were deep and uncertain.

This Lan Chang'an is more than thirty years older than him!

However, at first impression, Lan Chang'an looks younger than him, and in terms of appearance and temperament... he is not inferior at all.

"Getting along day and night... close and caring... the grace of renewal..."

In a blink of an eye, Xie Wuji generated a series of speculations, which were extremely close to reality.

It's not that Xie Wuji is nearly as smart as a demon.

It was when he first met Xia Wenyue's mother, and his beauty and conversational style impressed the latter immediately.

Coupled with the Aristocratic Clan, a top cultivator, and his sweet words, he successfully captured Xia Wenyue's mother.

Although Lan Chang'an does not have a top-notch family background, he has the gift of reinvention, gets along day and night, and is extremely handsome. It is easy to win the favor of Xia Wenyue.

"Thank you True Person for your advice?"

Lan Chang'an noticed that the other party's eyes looking at him became colder and colder, and there was even a faint hint of murderous intent.

"I, True Person, have a chat with Mr. Lu alone."

Xie Wuji looked gloomy and took a deep breath.

Then I thought about it, Lan Chang'an and his daughter should not have reached that point.

Otherwise, Lan Chang'an should conceal the information, Keeping a Beauty in a Golden House, and keep it for himself instead of sending Xia Wenyue to the big sect.

It is even less possible for him to face his father calmly without any panic or guilt.

Perhaps, this person is really the kind of decent person who is noble and clean.

Xia Mingqu retreat.

Lan Chang'an welcomed Xie Wuji into the main hall.

The two sat down and talked.

Xie Wuji's domineering and condescending attitude has been restrained.

Give basic courtesy to your daughter's teacher.

When he arrived, Xie Wuji learned about Lan Chang'an's old friends in the Liang Kingdom, including the genius third-level array mage, and Golden Cloud Valley's new law enforcement elder.

More importantly, Innate Dao Body's daughter respects this person very much.

"Xie came here this time to investigate Xia Clan."

"But one thing leads to another. Daoist Lu cured the root cause of my little girl's hidden injury and unearthed Innate Dao Body. Speaking of which, Xie also wants to thank you."

Xie Wuji's handsome face revealed a reserved smile for the first time.

Lan Chang'an is not flattered at all by this change of attitude.

To flatter the superiors and bully the inferiors, to flatter the superiors and to be arrogant to the inferiors.

People like Xie Wuji, Lan Chang'an Previous Life are seen more often.

On the surface, he looks domineering and arrogant, but in fact, he is clear-minded in his heart.

To be arrogant and do good deeds is only for the middle and lower class monks with no background.

If you meet a higher-ranking person, you may be more flattering and groveling than you imagined.

"I would like to ask Xiaoyou Lu, Innate Dao Body of Wen Yue, but "Cold Soul Jade Marrow"?"

Xie Wuji looked at him with sharp eyes.

"Yes."

Lan Chang'an did not deny it.

Sure enough!

Since Chen Kingdom is closer to the Feng Kingdom, Xie Wuji earlier confirmed the news that Xia Wenyue was accepted by the Proud Moon Palace as True Disciple.

If it is a qualification like Earth Spiritual Root, it is difficult to hide it.

On the contrary, Innate Dao Body is easy to be ignored in the early stage, or it may cause some abnormalities in the body.

Thousands of years ago, Taihu Xie Clan gave birth to a Innate Dao Body named "Cold Soul Jade Marrow". Unfortunately, he was born as a man, which brought a lot of negative torture and eventually died young.

Therefore, after Xie Wuji got the news, he suspected that Xia Wenyue owned Innate Dao Body of "Cold Soul Jade Marrow".

The senior management of Lineage knew about this and ordered him to do everything possible to get Xia Wenyue to return to his clan and recognize his relatives.

In fact, Chen Kingdom Xie Clan sent someone to contact Proud Moon Palace.

Proud Moon Palace didn't give him a chance to meet, saying it was Xia Wenyue's own opinion.

Xie Wuji It is not difficult to surmise that Xia Wenyue was very disappointed with his behavior of starting from chaos and then giving up.

Therefore, we are going to start with the Xia Clan and his division commander Lan Chang'an.

"Wen Yue joined Proud Moon Palace, was it Lu Xiaoyou's recommendation?"

"Lu just gave suggestions, the final decision lies with Xia Wenyue."

Lan Chang'an did not deny it.

Xie Wuji felt an unknown fire in his heart.

If Lan Chang'an had been recommended later, the Xie family would not have been so passive, and their Innate Dao Body bloodline would have become a laughing stock by joining the Nascent Soul-level sect of another country.

"Little friend Lu made a wrong decision."

Xie Wuji looked cold and suppressed his unhappiness.

If the other party hadn't been his daughter's teacher and was quite respected, he would have punished her long ago.

"Lu did not know before that Wen Yue comes from the Chen Kingdom, a direct descendant of the Xie family."

Lan Chang'an said expressionlessly.

"Hmph! This has become a big mistake. I, True Person, will give you a chance to change your ways."

Xie Wuji snorted coldly, and along with the spiritual pressure of the true elixir, it was as if there was muffled thunder exploding in Lan Chang'an's ears.

Lan Chang'an Qi and Blood was swaying, his face turned pale, and his figure swayed slightly.

He spoke with difficulty, "Thank you True Person, do you have any suggestions?"

"This True Person spends less time with Wen Yue. You are the person she respects and trusts most in this life."

"You only need to convince Wen Yue to let her return to the Xie family to recognize her relatives and become a member of the Xie family in the future. I believe this is not difficult for you."

Xie Wuji Explain your purpose.

"Wen Yue has joined Proud Moon Palace. This is her own decision. It may be difficult for Lu to convince her."

Lan Chang'an decisively refused.

"You... don't be ungrateful!"

Xie Wuji's eyes flashed coldly, he didn't expect the other party to be so disrespectful.

Phew!

He raised his palm, condensing the power of the true elixir into substance, and finally stopped in mid-air without hitting it.

Lan Chang'an did not dodge and was ready to fall out.

"Lan Chang'an, since you are Wen Yue's respected teacher, Xie will give you one last chance to choose."

Xie Wuji's tone suddenly softened, and a transparent glass bottle appeared in his hand, containing a light blue liquid.

"As long as you can convince Wen Yue, the Xie family is willing to pay a complete Golden Core Realm fortuitous opportunity."

"This is "Pure Water", a precious Golden Core Realm spiritual object. I can pay you in advance to show your sincerity. When the matter is completed, there will be another Crystal Condensation Pill."

Xie Wuji secretly means bad luck.

I didn't expect Lan Chang'an to be so stubborn and ignore the intimidation of the Zhendan monk and the Xie family.

Originally, he was going to keep this Golden Core Realm fortuitous opportunity and give it away with some benefits.

"Golden Core Realm fortuitous opportunity?"

Lan Chang'an's eyes widened with surprise.

Xie Wuji chuckled: A complete Golden Core Realm fortuitous opportunity is an irresistible temptation to ordinary Lineage, or Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator.

"If Lu doesn't agree, what should True Person do?"

Lan Chang'an tried again.

"You missed an important event of the Xie family! If it is of no value and the merit is atonement, how can I, True Person, spare your life?"

Xie Wuji There was a cold glint in his eyes, and he was not trying to hide it.

Because Lan Chang'an has a special status, his strategy is to use both kindness and power.

"That's all, Lu is willing to give it a try."

Lan Chang'an seems to have resigned to his fate.

"But when Wen Yue joined Proud Moon Palace, it was not easy to contact her, and she already had her own opinion after Foundation Establishment. To convince her would not happen overnight, it would take many years."

"How long do you want?" Xie Wuji frowned slightly.

He also knows that Xia Wenyue joining Proud Moon Palace is like water being thrown away. Proud Moon Palace will definitely keep a close eye on him. This matter is indeed not easy.

Lan Chang'an said, "Lu will need ten years."

"Ten years is too long, I'll give you five years at most."

"It takes a long time to go back and forth to the Feng Kingdom. You can't see people every time. At least seven years, otherwise Lu would rather die!"

"Then seven years."

Xie Wuji took out a scroll of Third-Order Spirit Contract.

In fact, the Xie family knew that Xia Wenyue, who was heartbroken, would not be able to return to the family to recognize his relatives in a short time.

Be mentally prepared to contact him slowly to show your sincerity and let him change his mind little by little.

Xie Wuji is just one of the breakthroughs.

"Lan Chang'an, sign this Third-Order Spirit Contract! Within seven years, this True Person will see your results!"

Not long after, Lan Chang'an and Xie Wuji signed Third-Order Spirit Contract.

The content of Spirit Contract has greater constraints on Lan Chang'an and promises a complete Golden Core Realm fortuitous opportunity.

After a while.

Lan Chang'an accepted "Pure Water" and watched Xie Wuji fly away from Autumn Wind Island.

"Lu Zongfeng, Xie Wuji didn't make things difficult for you, right?"

Xia Mingqu The redness and swelling on the face has not gone away even after applying ointment.

"Fortunately. I am Wen Yue's teacher. He didn't make things too difficult. He just asked me to help intercede in the future..."

Lan Chang'an chatted with Xia Mingqu for a few words and returned to the mansion.

Within Secret Chamber.

Lan Chang'an's face immediately darkened.

"Chen Kingdom...Taihu Xie Clan..."

He hated being threatened the most in his life, so he secretly wrote this down.

The "Pure Water" given by Xie Wuji can be regarded as a lower substitute for "Heavenly Pure Water", but it is better than the ordinary Golden Core Realm spiritual item.

The effects of similar Golden Core Realm spiritual objects cannot be superimposed.

As for the follow-up promised Crystal Condensation Pill and Xie Wuji, it is estimated that they will play tricks.

For example, give one Inferior Crystal Condensation Pill.

Anyway, there is no indication on Third-Order Spirit Contract that it is genuine.

"However, with this "Pure Water" as a cover, it is barely possible to show up as a true elixir in the future."

Lan Chang'an wouldn't mind Golden Core Realm having too many spiritual objects.

As for Third-Order Spirit Contract and Lan Chang'an, you only need to wait for Second Life to light up and they can be easily eliminated.

Because under the supervision of the Zhendan monks, Third-Order Spirit Contract did not play any tricks just now, which made Xie Wuji feel at ease.

Lan Chang'an is so old and has not yet reached the peak of Foundation Establishment. Rogue Cultivator and Xie Wuji never thought that he could form a true elixir.

For such old monks with no potential, Heart Demon Oath is not suitable.

One Moon Empress, the patriarch Xia Hongyu is alone, returning Qingsha Bay.

He was dusty and tired, but his expression showed a little excitement.

That night.

Lan Chang'an and Xia Hongyu talked in secret.

Xia Hongyu went to the Feng Kingdom, taking Foundation Establishment Early Stage's Xia Wenyue with him all the way. The speed was not very fast, so it was a long journey.

After arriving at the Feng Kingdom, after several twists and turns, I finally met the senior management of the Proud Moon Palace.

"The third disciple of "True Lord Longyue", monk Golden Core, personally accepted Wen Yue as his disciple. Xia also received a reward and stayed as a guest at the Proud Moon Palace for a period of time."

Mentioning Proud Moon Palace's trip, Xia Hongyu's face glowed red.

Lan Chang'an nodded slightly, Golden Core the monk accepted the disciple, which is a good result.

Achievement Immortal Golden Core, mostly Earth Spiritual Root qualification.

As for Nascent Soul True Lord, many of them have the background of Heavenly Spiritual Root.

In the eyes of monks at this level, Earth Spiritual Root or ordinary Innate Dao Body are not so rare and indispensable.

In addition to Spirit Root, they also focus on character, fortuitous opportunity, and cause and effect.

"On the way Clan Leader Xia back, were you ever troubled by the monks from the Chen Kingdom Xie Clan?"

Lan Chang'an asked.

"Haha! In front of the Proud Moon Palace mountain gate, the monks of the Chen Kingdom Xie family had evil intentions and were warned by Proud Moon Palace Master. They even wrote a letter and sent it to "Heavenly Net Sect". The way back was very smooth."

Xia Hongyu laughed loudly.

In order to allow Xia Wenyue to practice with peace of mind, Proud Moon Palace came forward to protect Xia Clan and stop Chen Kingdom from threatening the Xie family.

Both sides are forces of the same level. In the future, the Xie family will not openly oppress and commit disgraceful acts.

"No wonder, Xie Wuji rushed to the Xia Clan in a hurry, showing kindness and power at the same time. It turned out to be to grab the time difference..."

Lan Chang'an was a little depressed, and he was threatened when he stayed in Qingsha Bay, so he signed Third-Order Spirit Contract.

Xia Hongyu went to the Proud Moon Palace and was rewarded and protected.

Of course, even if he was given another chance to let Lan Chang'an go to the Proud Moon Palace, he would definitely not be willing to do so.

Lan Chang'an has many secrets, and he doesn't want to come into the view of Golden Core Overhaul, Nascent Soul True Lord.

After Xia Hongyu returned to the ethnic minority, Qingsha Bay ushered in many years of stable development and prosperity.

Because Proud Moon Palace came forward to protect him and he was not in a country that cultivated immortals, Chen Kingdom Xie Clan could not easily embarrass Xia Clan.

Lan Chang'an Staying at Qingsha Bay is equivalent to being protected.

Third-Order Spirit Contract and Lan Chang'an signed with Xie Wuji were perfunctory.

At most, Xing Peng can occasionally disguise himself as Green-Faced Man as Wujian Gate, leave Qingsha Bay, and wander around the border.

Xie Wuji, as Heavenly Net Sect's true alchemy monk, not only has to practice, but also has a job. He doesn't have that much time to travel across the country and keep an eye on Lan Chang'an's every move.

In the blink of an eye, five years flew by.

Lan Chang'an's age has reached the mark of one hundred and seventy years old, which is considered an advanced age among the Foundation Establishment Realm.

This day.

In the Autumn Wind Island mansion, a powerful Law Power wave emerged in the training room, and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was active.

The invisible spiritual pressure is almost approaching the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"Fifteen years, Foundation Establishment ninth floor!"

Lan Chang'an opened his eyes, and there seemed to be two invisible virtual lightning flashes in the training room.
