"Master Brother will be back later. He knows more. Please don't leave in a hurry, Miss Jialan." A female disciple with a white jade sword on her waist tried to persuade her to stay.
"Thank you all for your help." Seeing this, Loran Hill didn't feel comfortable saying goodbye directly.
Several people continued to sit in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Occasionally, someone brought them fruits, snacks, and tea. Time slowly turned to night, and a bright moon rose, shining through the treetops onto the lake.
Sword Comes
"Senior Brother Jiang is here." Footsteps were heard from the courtyard path under the moonlight.
Soon, a handsome man in white clothes came over, with a jade sword on his waist. Beside him was a woman with a veil on her face. There was a small silver crescent moon between her eyebrows, which was very beautiful.
"I am sorry for not welcoming you, distinguished guest. I am sorry for not coming in person to greet you." Senior Brother Jiang had already arrived and greeted Loran Hill from a distance with a bow.
"The banquet in the mansion is ready. Miss Jialan, please come with me." Then they walked out of the pavilion together and headed towards a brightly lit attic.
Following the wooden stairs to the second floor, everyone sat down and introduced themselves to each other. It turned out that this Senior Brother Jiang was the current head of Bailu Qixuanfang.
"Jiang Zaisu, nice to meet Miss Jialan." He said simply, and then introduced the woman next to him to everyone.
"Yan Mingshi, the Mingyue Palace invites the Moon Palace Master."
The Mingyue Dangxin Palace faction is divided into three branches, namely Yaoyue Palace, Yudang Palace and Mingxin Palace. The masters of the three palaces are often also the heirs to the throne.
"I happened to be a guest at Qixuanfang today, and didn't want to hear about Miss Jialan's visit." She blinked and explained the reason for her appearance here.
As two factions with the same origin, they have always had a good relationship and often visit each other.
The real mountain gate of Bailu Qixuanfang is in a secret cave. It is said that there are lakes full of lotus leaves, and palaces and buildings built of white jade on the water surface. Many disciples and followers live in them. The mansion where everyone is now is actually the place where the faction receives external guests and handles miscellaneous matters.
After the introductions were completed, the few people sat down, and maids in white brought out jade plates of delicacies that had been prepared long ago. Various exquisite dishes were presented in front of Loran Hill.
"Is Miss Jialan from the Yuyan Red Ray Sect?" That day, when Loran Hill transformed into a fire phoenix, almost everyone thought she was from the Yanyue Continent.
"No." The girl shook her head. This answer surprised the people on the opposite side and they looked at each other several times.
"This... is truly astonishing. I've visited the Yuyan Red Ray Sect before, and I'm afraid even the most outstanding disciples there might not be as amazing as Miss Jialan."
During the conversation, several people became curious about the girl's origins.
"Then where did Miss Jialan learn this method of cultivation?" The sect has existed for hundreds and thousands of years, so it is inevitable that some of its methods of cultivation have been lost.
How can I explain this? I can't just say that I can understand it just by taking a look at it. Loran Hill felt a little distressed.
"Well, I just came back from the Western Continent recently, so I'm not very clear about the current situation. Perhaps my method is indeed very similar to that of the Bathing in Flames and Red Rays Sect." This is true. The method she practiced has been systematically improved and modified, and is not completely consistent with that of the Bathing in Flames and Red Rays Sect.
"I see." The few of them did not continue to ask, perhaps because they could see that the girl did not want to talk.
"In our Qixuanwu, there are many priestesses who perform rituals. Their duties within the dynasty are similar to those of the Yuyan Hongyu Sect. We often keep an eye on each other, so it's inevitable that we'll be curious."
A few of them talked about the situation of several families in the upper sect who mainly practiced dragon worship, and then the topic turned to the current problem of dragon vein disorder.
"Miss Jialan came to inquire about the whereabouts of Lord Honghu, so she must know something about the situation." Jiang Zaisu said.
Loran Hill nodded in approval.
"There are many priestesses in my faction, so we know more about the current situation of the dragon vein than other factions."
"Although I'm not sure about Lord Chifeng's condition, it's obvious that the dragon vein is gradually getting out of control." He sighed.
"In the past, with Lord Chifeng in charge of Luojing, the dragon veins of the world were extremely stable and easy to maintain. However, since the changes in heaven and earth, the dragon veins have gradually deviated from their once-established trajectory and direction."
"At first, we were able to let the priestesses and priestesses rely on rituals to adjust and stabilize the situation, but as the situation escalates, it's almost at the end of its rope." He spoke slowly, and the atmosphere at the banquet gradually became heavy.
"That day, my junior fellow disciple came to report on the Yanxing Sect's actions in Nanfengzhou. Although I didn't communicate with Zhu Xuanyi, I vaguely understood his thoughts."
"The Yanxing Sect is planning to seize as much territory as possible before the dynasty collapses. If possible, they might cut off the main dragon veins after the world is in chaos, breaking the dragon veins in various places into pieces to facilitate control." He sighed, stood up, and walked to the window.
"When the dynasty was founded, the Red Phoenix made an alliance with the immortals, uniting the tributaries of the world's dragon veins. This way, the entire land of Shenzhou became a unified whole, balancing the feng shui and climate of each region. This prevented the frost from wiping out birds in the north, and calmed the land of fire, making it suitable for survival."
"The blessed caves and sanctuaries of various families, as well as the paradise caves of some small and unique sects, are also connected to this dragon vein. On a normal day, they can use the incoming heaven and earth energy to assist in their cultivation. In times of crisis, it can also be used to regulate the local climate and avoid severe droughts and cold snaps."
"But now that the dragon veins are in disarray, not only can the secret cave realms of various factions no longer benefit from them, but we must also constantly prevent the disrupted dragon veins from interfering with and damaging the cave realms."
