True Villain: Noble Identity, Prominent ...
Chapter 238: One of the three innate strange stones, the flower that accompanies childhood sweethearts, the tribulation of love
Jiang Lan's words were obviously meant to support his subordinate Yuan Kong, and his words did not give Shi Tian any face at all.
If it were any other young person, they would have felt aggrieved and angry and would have attacked violently. However, Shi Tianjue was not an ordinary person. Although his face was gloomy and anger was hidden in his eyes, he still endured it and did not say a word.
He was well aware of the gap in strength between himself and Jiang Lan. Even if he attacked in anger, he could not be his opponent. Instead, he would become the object of everyone's ridicule.
No matter what, Nie Erguo is in the North Sea after all, and there is a saint standing behind him. No matter how much Jiang Lan humiliates him, it is impossible for him to really hurt him in public.
The many young monks and creatures who were watching the excitement around the long street, seeing this scene, had to admit that Shi Tian's temperament was calm and steady, far beyond that of ordinary people.
"The conflict that occurred today was caused by my poor management as the host. I hope Saint Son Jiang Lan will forgive me."
"All the creatures in the North Sea know that Master Shi Tian of the Shi Ling Clan is honest and outspoken, so sometimes he says things that offend people. I really don't want to disturb Saint Jiang Lan's interest, but Saint Jiang Lan's visit today is a happy occasion. It is inappropriate to have a bloody conflict. I hope Saint Jiang Lan can let Master Shi Tian go this time for my sake."
"This is a 30,000-year-old black jade bead. Grind it into powder and swallow a little every day. It can nourish your skin and keep you young forever. I know that Saint Jiang Lan has many beauties, so I prepared this small gift. I hope Saint Jiang Lan will accept it as a token of my apology."
At this time, a soft voice was heard again from the white jade carriage above Niecheng. At the same time, a breeze blew a jade plate covered with a red gauze and slowly fell in front of Jiang Lan.
As the red scarf was blown away by the wind, a dazzling divine light suddenly spread out from it. It was very crystal clear, like dewdrops, each one transparent. There were ten of them in total, lying there quietly.
"The black shell jade beads are each as valuable as a beauty pill and are priceless..."
"Ten of them, what a generous act. I can only say that she is worthy of being the princess of Nie Er Kingdom. Her wealth and power are beyond our imagination." Looking at this scene, many people sighed inwardly, surprised.
Shi Tian was also startled, and looked at the white jade carriage with more and more confusion.
This princess of Nie Er country actually took out so many good things to help herself out?
Could it be that I have met her? "Since Princess Nie Er has said so, I will naturally give her this face. After all, I came to the North Sea because I have something that I want to ask Princess Nie Er."
Jiang Lan smiled slightly, rolled up his wide sleeves, and took the ten black jade beads.
He may not care about other things, but for little gadgets like this, the more the better, and he wants as many as he can.
There is no woman who doesn't love beauty and wants to keep her youthful appearance forever.
"I wonder what Saint Jiang Lan wants to ask? If I knew, I would tell you everything I know."
"I have already told the maid to prepare the banquet, and I'm just waiting for Saint Son Jiang Lan's consent." Princess Nie Er's gentle voice came again, which made people easily feel good about it.
"Princess Nie Er is very thoughtful. In that case, I will refuse it without hesitation." Jiang Lan still responded with a smile.
However, while speaking, he glanced at the gloomy stone sky not far away, and felt a little interested.
The Shiling clan has a natural saint in this generation. As long as he doesn't die, he will become a saint in the future.
Jiang Lan naturally knew this person's origins a long time ago.
In the original plot, there is actually not much involvement with Shi Tian. What attracted Jiang Lan's attention the most was the fate between Shi Tian and the woman who was transformed from another piece of sky-repairing stone.
In this world, regardless of whether the Sky-Repairing Stone is real or not, there are indeed three Sky-Repairing Stones.
Each piece of Sky-Repairing Stone contains a rich innate five-colored energy, forming the five elements in themselves and continuing to grow. According to ancient rumors, the Sky-Repairing Stone, Chaos Stone, and World Stone are known as the three innate strange stones, and each stone has a different mysterious creation.
The real body is Shi Tian, the Sky-Repairing Stone. Needless to say, his background is extraordinary.
Jiang Lan himself was not interested in the Sky-Bulding Stone, but the World Stone, which was also one of the three innate strange stones, was of great benefit to his current practice. If he wanted to find the World Stone, he had to find the Xitu that nourished the World Stone. A blade of grass could cut off the sun, moon and stars, and a grain of dust could fill the sea. The dust in it was actually the Xitu.
Among the information Jiang Lan learned, the origin of Xitu was only known to the girl destined to be with Shi Tianming, whose original body was also the Sky-Repairing Stone.
"Then please ask Saint Son Jiang Lan to move to Yingxian Tower. I will be waiting here respectfully."
Fragrant wind filled the air, sparkling light rain fell, a white jade carriage led the way in the air, many young women sang and danced, following it all the way, and gradually went away.
"Young Master..."
Only then did Yuan Kong and Kong Xuan come forward to Jiang Lan.
Behind them, Zhou Ming and other cultivators from the Kaiming Star Domain were hesitant to speak. They wanted to step forward to pay their respects, but were worried that it would be too abrupt.
"There's no need to say more. As my followers, you naturally won't allow anyone to bully you." Jiang Lan waved his hand and didn't blame the two.
"My cultivation is too weak, and I brought shame to you, sir." Yuan Kong looked guilty.
"Any news about the whereabouts of the Nine-Shattered Sky-Reaching Stick that I asked you to find?" Jiang Lan didn't care about this matter at all and casually asked about something else that he thought was more important.
The Nine-Shattered Sky-Breaking Stick involves a huge part of the future's fortune, which is of greater benefit to him.
"My lord, I have been looking for this item. According to the information I have received so far, it is very likely that the royal family of Nie Er Kingdom knows the whereabouts of this item." Yuan Kong replied.
"This thing is destined to be with you only. If you don't have any clues, you can go to the bottom of the sea in Nie Er Country to have a look. Maybe it is used as a magic needle to stabilize the sea and stay there." Jiang Lan said.
Yuan Kong was shocked when he heard the words, and his eyes suddenly shone with golden light, and he was very excited.
"Young Master, Brother Zhou Ming and his companions are from the Kaiming Star Domain. They have always admired you and want to meet you..." At this time, Kong Xuan also took the opportunity to introduce Zhou Ming and others behind her.
"Kaiming Star Domain?" Jiang Lan was slightly surprised, then smiled slightly and nodded.
Zhou Ming and others were immediately flattered and came forward to pay their respects with an extremely respectful attitude.
"I remember that Luwu Mountain in Kaiming Star Domain has been closed for a hundred years. I wonder if this is true or not?" Jiang Lan asked casually.
Sooner or later, he will go to the Four Directions Star Region. Except for the Chongming Star Region, the other three star regions all have the legacy left by the guardian beasts of heaven.
As far as Jiang Lan knew, Luwu's soul was still left in Luwu Mountain.
If he wanted to complete the Tribulation Bridge, make Zizai Tian completely perfect, and evolve a complete heaven and heavenly court, he must find a way to get his hands on the legacy left by the four divine beasts.
"In reply to Saint Son Jiang Lan, Luwu Mountain has indeed been closed for a hundred years and does not recruit disciples from outside. However, there are still Luwu Mountain's former elders and disciples who have come out and walked the world..." Zhou Ming explained.
Jiang Lan nodded. There was no rush for Luwu Mountain for the time being. He still needed to resolve some minor troubles on the land of Jiuzhou first.
"It just so happens that Princess Nie Er has already prepared a banquet, so let's go together. I have a lot of questions about the Kaiming Star Domain." Jiang Lan said with a faint smile.
Hearing this, Zhou Ming and others immediately showed joy on their faces and quickly agreed.
“Brother…”
Seeing Jiang Lan and others walking away, Shi Ning, who was hiding behind Shi Tian, dared to stick his head out, his eyes full of anger.
"I am not as skilled as the other person. I admit defeat today." Shi Tian's face was as gloomy as water, but he did not look at the direction where Jiang Lan left, but looked at the place where Princess Nie Er had just left.
He always had the feeling that he had seen this Princess of Nie Er Kingdom before, but he couldn't tell where. He recalled all the women he had seen since he transformed, but none of them could match the Princess of Nie Er Kingdom just now.
"Maybe I should go back and ask Grandpa. He should know."
"I remember today's shame, but things change over time. I can't always be inferior to you."
Shi Tian took a deep breath to calm himself down, then glanced at Jiang Lan's back which had not yet disappeared, and a gloomy look flashed across his eyes.
Afterwards, he glanced coldly at the many cultivators and creatures around the long street, grabbed his brother Shi Ning behind him, and instantly rode on the clouds and flew away.
He couldn't afford to offend Jiang Lan, but he really didn't care about these tribes and creatures in the North Sea.
"Humph, why are you so arrogant? Just now, in front of Saint Jiang Lan, you didn't dare to fart at all."
"Now that he's gone, he's become arrogant again..."
"He only dares to pretend in front of people like us. When he really meets someone stronger than him, he will hide his tail between his legs." When someone saw Shi Tian walking away, he spat and mocked him with disdain.
"Say less. If Shi Tian hears this, even if he doesn't take action against you, his brother will not let you go easily. It's true that he is the good guy and his brother becomes the bad guy in the end." The creature next to him grabbed his companion and told him to shut up. He just looked towards the place where Shi Tian left, with a hint of sneer in his eyes.

Although Shi Tian is extremely talented and powerful, he has secretly offended many people due to his brother's arrogant and domineering style. Seeing the two brothers being humiliated today, many people felt secretly happy.
"Princess, you are willing to spend such a huge gift to help Shi Tian out. Could it be that you two are old acquaintances?"
At this moment, another woman's voice was heard from the white jade carriage above Niecheng. It was very neutral and plain, with a hint of the coldness of a mountain spring.
This is a woman wearing a Taoist robe and a bun, with her long black hair neatly tied in a jade hair crown. She is sitting quietly on a soft couch with a whisk placed flat between her legs. Her face is flawless and she is not wearing any makeup, but her skin is so white and delicate that it seems that water can be squeezed out of it at any time.
Opposite her was a woman in a pink dress with soft eyes that seemed to contain autumn water. She had delicate features, emerald eyebrows, a straight and small nose, and long dark hair that was so shiny that it could be seen clearly. It hung quietly to her waist and swayed gently, giving people a feeling of infinite tenderness, as if it could accommodate everything.
"It's true that we are old acquaintances, but it's also true that this is the first time we meet." The woman in the pink dress smiled, her red lips were glossy and beautiful, very moving.
"What do you mean?" The woman in Taoist robe seemed a little surprised.
"Han Jing, you should know Shi Tian's origins, right?" the woman in the pink dress asked with a smile.
"I had already inquired about it before I came to Nie Er Country. Shi Tian was transformed from the Sky-Repairing Stone. He has infinite potential and amazing talent. He is known as a natural saint. Before I met him, I had high expectations for him. Who would have thought that today..." The Taoist robe woman seemed to have some regrets while speaking. She shook her head and then stopped.
"His true potential has not yet been realized, but Jiang Lan, the Holy Son of Taiyi Sect, is indeed the most terrifying genius I have ever known, bar none."
"It's normal that Brother Shi Tian is no match for him now." The woman in the pink dress smiled helplessly.
"Brother?" The woman named Han Jing was startled and even more surprised, and asked, "Zhao Yi, what is your relationship with him?"
"The ruler of Nie Er country is my father, or to be exact, my adoptive father. Before I transformed, I was actually a lichen growing beside the Bu Tian Stone. I absorbed nutrients and nourishment from the Bu Tian Stone and grew wildly, and I was born with intelligence before him, so it should be correct for me to call him my brother." The woman in the pink dress explained with a smile. Her name was Nie Zhaoyi, and Nie was the surname of the country of Nie Er.
"So that's how it is. Shi Tian, who was the sky-repairing stone, was taken away by Shi Sheng of the Shi Ling clan, and you were raised by the king of Nie Er country?" Han Jing nodded, seeming to understand.
“But he may not remember who I am. The process of the Stone Spirit Clan gaining consciousness is too long. To him, those memories may just be a vague dream…” Nie Zhaoyi sighed, his eyes dim.
"From what I saw just now, Shi Tian might have remembered you. Why don't you go and tell him what you want?"
"My foster father and I have an agreement that I am destined to have a love calamity. Before the calamity subsides, I must not let my emotions get the better of me. Otherwise, it will be bad for everyone. I'm afraid that I won't be able to control myself and implicate him."
"Today's situation is special. I didn't expect that Taiyi Sect's Saint Jiang Lan would appear in the North Sea. If I didn't show up, I'm afraid that Brother Shi Tian would be humiliated by Jiang Lan."
Speaking of this, Nie Zhaoyi's mouth was slightly bitter and helpless.
After listening to this, Han Jing didn't say anything else, but just looked at Nie Zhaoyi with some sympathy.
Soon, the white jade carriage stopped in front of a magnificent and splendid pavilion. Han Jing and Nie Zhaoyi walked out of it together and went to the private room that had been booked.
Yingxian Tower is not the property of Nie'er Kingdom, but was jointly built with the support of various ethnic groups in the North Sea. Nie'er Kingdom has only been in existence for about a month, and many shops, inns and restaurants in the city were actually built by foreign ethnic groups. Many people speculate that the shadow of Changlong Merchant Alliance is actually behind this.
"I heard that Yingxian Tower is owned by Changlong Business Alliance..."
"Does this count as going to someone else's restaurant to entertain them?"
The private room is quiet and shrouded in mist. Not far away, behind a curtain, there are courtesans playing music. Their beautiful and gentle voices, like the gurgling of a brook, can soothe the sorrow in one's heart.
Although Han Jing was wearing a Taoist robe, he did not have the dignity of a Taoist priest and his behavior seemed very casual.
"I have no choice." Nie Zhaoyi shook his head and smiled helplessly.
"What's the last resort?"
Outside the private room, Jiang Lan's faint laughter sounded at the right time.
Kong Xuan, Yuan Kong and others were waiting outside and did not go in with him.
Nie Zhaoyi's expression was a little awkward. He didn't expect Jiang Lan to come so quickly. However, Nie Er's country was not very big. With his cultivation strength, it would only take a thought for him to go anywhere he wanted.
"I'm chatting with a friend. Please come in, Saint Son Jiang Lan." Nie Zhaoyi stood up to greet him with a slightly apologetic look on his face.
Han Jing sat still, his face returning to its cold and calm expression.
"This friend of Princess Nie Er must be from Yingzhao Dojo?"
Jiang Lan walked in with a smile on his face, and his eyes swept over Han Jing, who was wearing a Taoist robe, as if he could instantly see through his origins and secrets.
"It's true that nothing can be hidden from Saint Jiang Lan..."
Nie Zhaoyi was stunned, a little surprised and surprised. She had never mentioned the origin of her friend in front of others.
How did Jiang Lan see it at a glance? "Saint Son Jiang Lan has a good eye. I am indeed from Yingzhao Dojo." Han Jing was also slightly shocked. He put away the indifference on his face, stood up and bowed.
The four star fields are all very far away from Zhongtian Province. Normally, if there is no sect elder to open up a time and space channel, ordinary disciples can never come to the land of Jiuzhou.
Their understanding and knowledge of the land of Kyushu often remain in various stranded news and rumors.
"Chongming Valley, Gouchen Palace, Yingzhao Dojo, now the only thing missing is the people from Luwu Mountain."
"It seems that the Four Directions Star Region is still ready to take action against the land of Kyushu..." Jiang Lan smiled faintly.
