Li Shiyin has already succeeded in forming a golden elixir, so it is time to go to the Wuyin Sword Sect to negotiate terms.
After getting married, the couple took a short rest in Danyang City for half a month and then returned to Danfeng.
After returning, Qin Ran spent some time making arrangements and preparations before going to find the headmaster.
"Master..." He saluted Master Gu Yueming, "I will be going to the Infinite Sword Sect soon."
Gu Yueming looked up at him and asked, "Why so fast?"
“Of course, the sooner the better.” Qin Ran replied, “Faster, we can effectively preserve our manpower and also make it more likely that Zhishen Valley will not be able to react in time.”
Gu Yueming thought for a moment and asked, "It doesn't matter if it's faster or slower. What I'm worried about is, if the Wuyin Sword Sect doesn't agree to our proposal, what should we do then?"
"Master, we are just tearing each other apart in advance. With the current situation of the three sects, there will inevitably be a war." Qin Ran said in a deep voice, "We are being targeted by two sects. The Infinite Sword Sect has intentionally or unintentionally killed our disciples, and the Zhishen Valley has restricted us in terms of elixirs. If it drags on, we will be at a disadvantage. It is beneficial for us to intensify the conflict in advance. At that time, we can either shrink our formation and defend with all our strength, or risk our lives to drag a sect into the water. It will be better than now."
"Okay, if the negotiations fail, you've thought about the sect..." Gu Yueming continued, "What about you? You are in the Wuyin Sword Sect, they will definitely not let you go."
"I have already made detailed arrangements for the safety of those who go to negotiate with the Infinite Sword Sect." Qin Ran said to Gu Yueming, "First, I am good at teleportation formations, and I will set up a teleportation formation outside the Infinite Sword Sect in advance.
"Second, I am good at making elixirs. Those who are good at medicine are also good at poisons. As long as we enter the Wuyin Sword Sect, I will poison the disciples of the Wuyin Sword Sect. Use this as a threat.
"Third, if the above two plans do not work..." He sneered, "It would be fine if I died outside the Infinite Sword Sect, but if I died inside the Infinite Sword Sect, I can ensure that the strength of the Infinite Sword Sect will be reduced by half.
"So, if I die on this trip. If I die outside the Wuyin Sword Sect, the Sect Master can not only defend but also go to the Xuanqin Palace, where there might be a way out for Daojian Sect; if I die inside the Wuyin Sword Sect, the Sect Master can organize the sect's forces and take advantage of the situation to destroy the Wuyin Sword Sect."
Gu Yueming was half shocked and half moved when he heard this. He was shocked because he could not imagine that Qin Ran had such a terrifying method; he was moved because Qin Ran made a series of careful plans before dying for the sect.
He suppressed his inner turmoil and continued, "You have prepared for failure. So how will you ensure the success of the negotiations? Especially for a sect like the Infinite Sword Sect, if you cannot convince them with your military strength, then no matter how beautiful your words are, you will not be able to convince them."
He looked at Qin Ran, "How did you arrange this time?"
"This trip is ultimately a negotiation. I will not bring too many people. I will only bring three disciples to the Infinite Sword Sect." Qin Ran had thought about it a long time ago. He replied, "One each from the Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Core Stage, and Nascent Soul Stage. So, if the Infinite Sword Sect takes the initiative to propose a competition, it must be one for each of the three realms. And among the three exchanges, we only need to win two.
"We will definitely win two games. Master, do you know who I want to take with me?"
Gu Yueming frowned and asked, "Lu Junxing and Li Shiyin?"
Kieran nodded.
"The two of them..." Gu Yueming was really worried, "If the three of you all died in Wuyin Sword Sect, wouldn't Daojian Sect be finished?!"
"Death is only a possibility." Qin Ran smiled, "Master, you can look at it from another perspective. With the strength of Lu Junxing and Li Shiyin, they have entered the inner circle of the Infinite Sword Sect. If there is a sudden outbreak, then the Infinite Sword Sect should be afraid. So even if the negotiations fail, the Infinite Sword Sect may not dare to take action because of them."
Gu Yueming wanted to understand the truth that one must face death before survival. Only then did he feel relieved and asked with concern, "Li Shiyin has just formed a pill, is her realm stable?"
Qin Ran nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master. Shiyin's realm is stable and now she has few rivals in the Golden Core Stage."
Gu Yueming suddenly looked at Qin Ran's face and joked, "Although you are still young, you still need to be restrained. Being too indulgent will also affect your cultivation."
"Cough!" Qin Ran's old face turned red and he even coughed dryly.
"I didn't notice it just now..." Gu Yueming said with a smile, "I also wish you a happy wedding!"
"Thank you, Master." Qin Ran replied, and blinked at Gu Yueming. "We're getting married, and you don't have any expression? Just a dry blessing?"
Gu Yueming pretended not to see it and continued to talk about business: "You have a good relationship with Lu Junxing, you can discuss it with him yourself... As for the teleportation formation you set up, I will ask the Yuanying elders in the sect to guard the formation for you."
As he spoke, he looked at Qin Ran again and suddenly sighed, "Daojianmen is lucky to have you."
“Too stingy!” Qin Ran secretly complained, without any actual response, only chicken soup.
So he replied: "Master accepted me as his disciple when I was very young and treated me like a son. He taught me how to practice and make elixirs without reservation. Daojianmen has never had any ill will towards me. It is actually my good fortune to join Daojianmen. I should protect Daojianmen."
Gu Yueming stared at Qin Ran for a long time, then smiled and shook his head. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he turned away inadvertently.
"You just said that you would bring three disciples. Lu Junxing and Li Shiyin can guarantee absolute victory. Which foundation-building disciple are you going to bring?" he asked.
"Long Qiqi..." Qin Ran looked at Gu Yueming proudly. You little brat, are you trying to move me?
He smiled and said, "She is just an ordinary snake demon, learning alchemy under me. Her strength is low, and no one can defeat her."
"Long Qiqi?" Gu Yueming thought of the little girl who always looked so cocky. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "If I take her with me, she will lose too deliberately."
He tilted his head and said to Qin Ran, "Let me recommend one to you. It's a good opportunity to train them."
"They?" Qin Ran frowned.
The next day, Qin Ran looked at the two girls sent by the headmaster and couldn't help but ponder for a while. He pulled the headmaster over and asked quietly, "Are they your illegitimate daughters?"
"No." The headmaster shook his head, "He is just a normal disciple."
“Then…” Qin Ran was puzzled and looked the head up and down. “You old pedophile?”
The head of the sect slapped Qin Ran in the face and scolded him with a smile, “What are you thinking about, you little brat?! I’m old enough to be their ancestor. You just got married, and all you can think about is that kind of thing, right?”
"For cultivators..." Qin Ran said quietly, "age is never a big deal. Eighteen years can pass in the blink of an eye, in the course of a nap or in seclusion."
The head of the sect slapped Qin Ran again and said with a smile, “They are just talented, likable and have good personalities. I intend to make them my last disciples. It’s not what you think.”
"Then I feel relieved." Qin Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
"How can you be so shameless?" Gu Yueming glanced at him, "You are seducing your own disciple."
Qin Ran secretly glanced at Li Shiyin and whispered, "She was the one who took the initiative among us. I was actually the victim."
"You are a guy with a heart as leaky as a sieve..." Gu Yueming glanced at him, "Do you think I believe you?"
“You don’t know how fierce she is…” Qin Ran suddenly felt a sharp gaze, and hurriedly stopped, coughed dryly, and said seriously, “They can do it too, let’s go to the Infinite Sword Sect!”
The foundation-building disciples sent by Gu Yueming were the sisters Jiang Qin and Jiang Ran. They were the twin sisters who were known as the five most beautiful sisters of Daojian Sect many years ago, along with Li Shiyin, Tian Wenjin and Liu Piaoxu.
They were eight years old that year, and five years later, they are only thirteen years old this year.
On an ordinary summer morning, Qin Ran led a group of people out of Daojian Gate and headed for the Wuyin Sword Sect's main gate to do something that would determine the future fate of the Hengduan Mountains.
He rode Zhuifeng, whose body had transformed into the size of an ordinary tiger, in front and asked the two sisters Jiang Qin and Jiang Ran casually, "Do you know what we are going to do?"
The elder sister Jiang Ran is more outgoing, while the younger sister Jiang Qin is more introverted. The magic weapon they use to control flying is a red Hun Tian Ling.
Jiang Ran replied, "The headmaster said that he was going to the Wuyin Sword Sect to discuss important matters of the sect, and there might be a sword fight. We are responsible for the exchange of fighting skills during the foundation-building period."
Oh, I only know that they are going to fight. Qin Ran nodded and asked, "Did the Sect Master tell you what will happen if the Sect's important discussions go wrong?"
Zhuifeng was flying in the front, carrying Qin Ran, flying very slowly with a leisurely expression. The people following behind them, in addition to the two sisters Jiang Qin and Jiang Ran, were Lu Junxing, Li Shiyin, and a mysterious man in black, who was the Nascent Soul cultivator assigned by the head of the sect to guard the formation.
The two sisters looked at each other, and Jiang Ran asked, "What will happen?"
Qin Ran looked back at the twins who were about to blossom, shook his head, and said in a riddle: "Since the master didn't tell you, I don't need to tell you either."
Hearing this, Jiang Qin secretly looked at the people around him. He discovered that the mysterious man in black was a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator at the main peak. Lu Junxing was rumored to be the strongest cultivator in Daojian Sect in the past two years. Li Shiyin had just formed a pill with great fanfare two days ago, so there was no need to say much about her combat power.
Except for the less famous Danfeng chief in front, the others, including the white tiger Zhuifeng under the chief, are all people with extremely high combat capabilities.
Using this configuration to discuss sect affairs...
Her heart trembled, and she keenly sensed the danger.
"Uncle Qin..." She spoke softly. Uncle Qin was obviously more friendly than the chief monk. "You are in charge of discussing the sect's major affairs this time. Can you tell Xiaoqin what we are going to discuss?"
When Qin Ran heard Jiang Qin's words, he immediately knew how to distinguish between the two sisters who looked exactly the same. The elder sister was simpler, while the younger sister was more scheming.
"This concerns the life and death of our sect, so I cannot tell you." He said, intending to scare the children, "But if we cannot come to an agreement, we will die in the Infinite Sword Sect."
The two sisters were shocked when they heard this, and Jiang Ran even turned pale.
Jiang Qin was calmer and soon calmed down. She thought of geniuses like Lu Junxing and Li Shiyin, who were the future of Daojianmen and were much more precious than them. It didn't matter whether they died or not, but they couldn't die.
“Uncle Master, don’t joke.” She remained calm, reached out and grabbed Jiang Ran’s hand, and comforted her not to panic. She said to Qin Ran, “I heard that when two armies are fighting, they don’t kill the envoys. Even if the relationship between the Wuyin Sword Sect and our Daojian Sect is bad, they won’t kill us.”
"You are still too young." Qin Ran smiled and continued to tease the little girl. "If you want to survive, you have to work harder. Because the better you perform during exchanges, the easier it will be for me to negotiate, and the less likely we will die out of thin air."
Jiang Qin heard this and felt that Qin Ran was definitely not lying to them, so she squeezed Jiang Ran's hand to encourage him. Jiang Ran nodded and said that he would try his best.
"Ahem!" Li Shiyin, who was standing behind him, saw that the master was actually coaxing the little girl in front of her, and couldn't help but remind him with a cold face.
Qin Ran stopped teasing Jiang Ran and Jiang Qin.
