Chapter 201: Conspiracy, Azure Elixir Immortal Boat
The trial of the Azure Elixir Immortal Sect is drawing ever closer, and all forces are making preparations.
Taihu Lake is a medium-sized body of water within the Luoxia Marshland, and its resources are decent. Therefore, while the Qingdan Immortal Sect may not be among the top in the entire Luoxia Marshland, it is still well-known in the area.
Becoming a disciple of them represents the hope of breaking through to the level of a god in the future.
Once one is in harmony with the divine, one can establish a sect, recruit many disciples, and also marry wives and concubines, sow seeds, and pass on the family line.
In this world, those who unite with the gods are the truly respected and powerful.
It is also the first step to transcending the mortal realm, and one can witness the passing of eight hundred years.
Xuan Yanhu quietly returned from outside and entered the secret room.
"Master, how should the Qi family respond?"
Inside the secret chamber, many people had been waiting for a long time. They were all core members of the Xuan family, plotting something important.
Xuan Yanhu glanced around, his expression relaxed.
"That old woman from the Qi family is a glutton too. Having managed to tear a piece of flesh from the dying An family, how could she possibly give up?"
Hearing this, many people present laughed.
The Qi family doesn't understand the old saying, "It's like asking a tiger for its skin." Once the An family is dealt with, it'll be their turn.
After a while, the secret room fell silent again. Xuan Yanhu said solemnly, "This conspiracy is of utmost importance. We must not let anyone from the An family go, especially those few talented brats who might pass the trial. We must eliminate them completely!"
"Understood!" Everyone stood up and replied.
Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots—this is a principle everyone understands. Otherwise, if any fish manages to slip through the net and enter the Qingdan Immortal Sect, it will be a source of endless trouble for the Xuan family!
......
In the Qi family's backyard, filled with white flowers, an old woman dressed in a bright red robe sat quietly in a small pavilion.
Two identical-looking boys were serving him on either side.
A boy asked in confusion, "Great-grandmother, that Xuan Yanhu has no good intentions. After dealing with the An family, he will definitely come after our Qi family."
The old woman smiled, reached out and touched her great-grandson's head, her voice a little hoarse:
"Grandma knows that Xuan Yan is a wolf in sheep's clothing, and he dreams of dominating Luhua City. But Grandma will not let them succeed."
"As long as you can successfully enter the Azure Pill Immortal Sect, with your combined talents, you will definitely be accepted as disciples by Elder He Shen, and even experts at the Overlord Body Realm will be interested."
"Luoxiaze is a place that values strength. Even if Xuan Yanhu has great ambitions, he won't dare to make a move against our Qi family."
Qixing and Qiming nodded thoughtfully.
My determination to pass the trial strengthened once again.
As time went by, the weather gradually turned cold.
One morning, Zhang Ping opened the door and found the courtyard already ablaze with blooming flowers. The rooftops outside were a blanket of white.
The heavy snow was still falling, and the whole world was covered in a white blanket.
Despite the cold wind blowing, Zhang Ping, dressed in only thin clothes, did not feel cold.
"go!"
A small wooden sword, no bigger than a palm, flew out from the lowered sleeve. Without any effect from qi and blood, it darted back and forth in the courtyard like a bird in flight.
The swirling snowflakes were shattered by the wooden sword until Zhang Ping's forehead was covered in a light sheen of sweat, at which point he stopped.
"Divine sense is truly wondrous; it's not much different from flying on a sword in immortal cultivation, is it?"
Suddenly, Zhang Ping chuckled softly again. If it were simply about controlling a sword, he could do it long ago; his blood and qi, along with the water god beast pattern, allowed him to easily control a sword. But controlling a sword with his divine sense gave him a sense of novelty.
The door that had been deliberately closed behind them was opened, and two women in their early twenties walked out, their bodies trembling.
"Owner."
Zhang Ping glanced at them and said, "Well, we have guests today. You don't need to serve them. Go and rest."
"yes!"
Ordinary Winery
Zhang Ping smiled as he looked at An Ruxue, who had come to visit again.
"Mrs. An, what's your decision?"
An Ruxue bit her glistening, rosy lips, struggling to speak, "Young Master Zhang, Xiaoran is the most important person to me. She absolutely cannot be harmed during the trial. As long as you are willing to accompany and protect me, I will grant you any other request!"
"Haha!" Zhang Ping laughed, shaking his head in refusal.
"I am quite busy, and Madam has nothing else that interests me, so I am truly unable to offer my services."
Seeing An Ruxue's troubled expression, Zhang Ping felt at that moment that he should be categorized as a villain. Yes, a villain who forces an innocent young woman into a relationship.
"Young Master Zhang, I don't believe you don't need cultivation supplies. As long as Xiao Ran joins the Qingdan Immortal Sect, she can obtain cultivation techniques, pills, talismans, and more in the future."
"If I'm not mistaken, your cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the Body Refinement Realm. The next step is the Divine Integration Realm. However, to break through to the Divine Integration Realm, you need the Spirit Nourishing Pills from the three major sects. I can guarantee that as long as Young Hero Zhang is willing to protect you during the trial, I will deliver the Spirit Nourishing Pills to you within thirty years!"
An Ruxue was really going all out so that An Ran could pass the trial safely!
As her mother, she had witnessed An Ran's changes over this period. Not only had her talent become extraordinary, but she had also inexplicably gained a great deal of knowledge. The talisman book she had taken out earlier was one such example.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ping began to ponder.
It wasn't for the so-called Spirit Nourishing Pill; his power came from beast patterns, so he didn't need such a thing. What truly interested him was the benefits that An Ran could bring him after entering the Azure Pill Immortal Sect.
What he lacked most were the corpses of demonic beasts and the materials needed to brand beast patterns.
The more powerful the animal pattern, the more unusual the materials required.
It would be troublesome to collect materials all by myself, as my subordinates are just starting out and their abilities are not yet sufficient.
Moreover, some materials are so precious that they may be difficult to find outsiders.
If he could obtain the resources of the Azure Elixir Immortal Sect, it would be of great benefit to him inscribing beast patterns.
Zhang Ping had considered this before, but since all his power came from beast patterns, it would be disastrous if he rashly entered the Qingdan Immortal Sect and was discovered by the monsters in the Overlord Realm within the sect.
If obtaining some necessary materials through Enron is a good option, then it's not a bad choice.
Seeing that Zhang Ping seemed interested, An Ruxue's foxy eyes brightened slightly.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw Zhang Ping's gaze fall on him again.
His heart tightened: "Young Master Zhang..."
"I can protect Anran, but it will require Madam to make some sacrifices... Don't worry, I won't break Madam's rules."
Zhang Ping stroked his chin, his smile wicked.
The gaze travels from top to bottom, across the mountain peaks, across the slender waist, and finally rests on those two round and perky peach-like lips.
"you...?"
After hearing Zhang Ping's suggestion, An Ruxue was furious.
"The trial will begin in three days. Since Madam An has promised to reward me with resources in the future, then I need to be assured that she is not deceiving me," Zhang Ping said firmly.
An Ruxue fell silent.
The snowstorm lasted for a day and a night.
The sounds of street vendors hawking their wares were drowned out by the wind and snow, and also by the incessant screams.
A night of wind and snow, dawn broke.
crunch--
The room's window was open, the cold wind dispelling the unpleasant smell, and facing the rising sun, Zhang Ping's eyes were full of vitality. He was still full of life.
Outside the window, plum blossoms are in full bloom; inside the room, the scenery is as beautiful as springtime.
The practice of monks abstaining from grains and avoiding all other things has its own unique benefits.
......
Three days later,
A huge wooden boat flew in from the horizon, exuding an imposing aura against the wind!
