In front of Zhisheng Valley, Wu Lan brought the disciples of Tianchen Sword Sect to pay a visit to the elder of Zhisheng Valley who was in charge of the reception.
"Elder, I am Wu Lan, the sword-bearing elder of Tianchen Sword Sect." He saluted with the sword in hand and said to the elder of Zhisheng Valley.
The disciples behind him all saluted to Elder Zhishengu.
The elder of Zhisheng Valley nodded and responded, "I am Zhang Wei, respectfully welcoming the Tianchen Sword Sect to Zhisheng Valley."
"You are too polite, Elder Zhang." Wu Lan smiled and said respectfully, "May I ask how many sects there are in the valley now?"
"Dozens." Zhang Wei said vaguely, and smiled, "We are honored that the Tianchen Sword Sect has come all the way to Zhishen Valley to help. Elder Wu, is the journey smooth?"
"It's been smooth sailing all the way." Wu Lan replied, and then laughed and praised, "Zhisheng Valley, the holy land of elixirs in the immortal relics! Which cultivator can do without elixirs? And which sect can not come to help Zhisheng Valley?"
"Elder, you are joking." Zhang Wei smiled proudly and asked, "The Hengduan Mountains have been very unstable recently, and sects are often ambushed. Zhisheng Valley has sent people to hunt them down many times, but they all returned empty-handed. It's exhausting. Has the Tianchen Sword Sect encountered any ambushing by bad guys?"
"Ambush?" Wu Lan heard this and shook his head repeatedly, laughing sarcastically, "In a grand war between sects, there are actually people who do such a dirty thing!
"However, dirty people do dirty things. My Tianchen Sword Sect is full of sword cultivators with strong combat power. The rats naturally dare not come to kill us. Elder, don't worry."
Zhang Wei suddenly realized: "I didn't think it through. How can such a shrewd person dare to face the magnificent sword energy of Tianchen Sword Sect?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the Tianchen Sword Sect's team suddenly started coughing violently, "bang bang bang", as if he was going to cough out his heart, liver, spleen, and lungs.
Zhang Wei looked at the team and saw a young monk covering his mouth and coughing so violently that his hands were all red.
He was shocked and asked with concern: "What's the situation with that young friend?"
Wu Lan looked back and saw that it was Leng Ya. His face darkened slightly, but he soon smiled again and explained, "It's okay. He was just a kid who was eager for quick success and went astray when practicing Qigong. Rest for two days and recuperate. It won't delay the next battle."
"Hey! What are you talking about?" Zhang Wei waved his hand and said, "Elder, what you said is wrong! Human life is more important than anything else. The health and safety of our disciples should be put first. How can we not pay attention to it?"
He took out a bottle of pills from his Qiankun bag, handed it to Wu Lan, and said, "This is a bottle of Qi-combining pills, which can regulate mana and meridians. It should be good for him."
"How can I be so embarrassed?" Wu Lan smiled, took the pill, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Elder Zhang."
Zhang Wei waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing to worry about, then he called two disciples from behind and said to Wu Lan with a smile: "Elder Wu, you know that there are quite a lot of cultivators coming to help Zhishen Valley this time. With so many people, we are worried about chaos, so we have to make a record of the characters."
After this operation, although Wu Lan was still smiling, it was obvious that his smile was not real. The color of his eyes kept changing, and changed in the direction of Buyi.
What does Zhishengu mean by this? Don't trust the Tianchen Sword Sect? Do you want to register like a criminal?
They came all the way to help, and yet they were still suspected? !
What's the reason for this?
Is this the way big sects and Zhishengu entertain guests?
So arrogant! So conceited! So contemptuous!
Wu Lan was angry and had fire in his eyes.
Seeing this, Zhang Wei added: "Don't worry, Elder Wu. Every sect has to keep records of this."
The situation is stronger than the person, and besides, this is the task assigned to him by the sect leader.
Wu Lan took a deep breath, suppressed his resentment, forced a smile, and said, "Okay!"
The disciples of Zhishengu came forward with paper and pen, ready to record the information of Tianchen Sword Sect.
"Tianchen Sword Sect, the number one sword sect in Yanhan." Zhang Wei reminded with a smile, "Tian, the sky's Tian; Chen, the stars' Chen."
The disciple then wrote down the name of Tianchen Sword Sect.
"The leader elder, Wu Lan, the sword-wielding elder of Tianchen Sword Sect..." Wu Lan suppressed his anger and forced a smile to introduce the disciples of Tianchen Sword Sect one by one. "This is Yu Qingshan, the disciple of the Tianchen Sword Sect's master, ranked third on the Tianchen list... This is Leng Ya, the inner disciple of Tianchen Sword Sect..."
After the disciples of Zhishen Valley finished recording, they asked the people of Tianchen Sword Sect to leave a mark of blood and essence on their names to ensure that they could find the specific person based on the name.
After suffering such a great humiliation, the talents of Tianchen Sword Sect were able to enter Zhisheng Valley under the guidance of Zhisheng Valley disciples.
After the people of Tianchen Sword Sect entered the mountain protection formation, Zhang Wei smiled, motioned to the disciple who had just recorded the information, and whispered: "List Tianchen Sword Sect as a key sect to observe."
“Are there any people from Daojian Sect who have infiltrated among them?” Upon hearing this, the disciple’s face became heavy and he highlighted the name of Tianchen Sword Sect in red.
"The disciple who vomited blood just now obviously suffered internal injuries. It was a battle injury! Not a training injury. How could they deceive my eyes?" Zhang Wei narrowed his eyes and said, "Tianchen Sword Sect must have fought with the five sword cultivators in the Hengduan Mountains. They fought with sword cultivators of that strength, but except for one who was slightly injured, there were no other casualties. Plus, they concealed it, so there must be something wrong."
"I understand." The disciple nodded. "Before, the inspection was not strict, which led to many unrelated cultivators sneaking into Zhisheng Valley, especially cultivators from Daojian Sect. From now on, I will not allow any cultivator from Daojian Sect to sneak into Zhisheng Valley!"
"Humph! Daojian Sect..." Zhang Wei laughed contemptuously, "They can only play some tricks behind the scenes. Conspiracies and tricks? They are just crooked ways! In front of absolute strength, they are all jokes!"
In Zhican Valley, in the small building where the Tianchen Sword Sect is located, is Wu Lan’s room.
Wu Lan sat on the chair, looking at Leng Ya who was standing in front of him, and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Leng Ya shook his head and said weakly: "The sword strike last night severely injured my internal organs, and I couldn't recover for a while. It's still the same now."
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Wu Lan almost couldn't hold back, but fortunately he calmed down in time. He asked again, "If you had told me earlier that you were seriously injured, the sect would have had elixirs to heal you."
"I thought I could suppress it..." Leng Ya replied in a low voice.
"Do you think you can suppress it?" Wu Lan closed his eyes for a while, then said, "Go down! Take good care of yourself and try to catch up with the war."
"Yes..." Leng Ya responded and turned to leave, but before leaving, he turned back and asked, "Elder, will Zhishen Valley suspect us?"
"What do you doubt?" Wu Lan opened his eyes and looked at Leng Ya.
"They suspect that we are from Daojian Sect." Leng Ya frowned and analyzed, "Then they will monitor us and target us. If a war breaks out, they will even assign us dangerous tasks."
"Are we from Daojianmen?" Wu Lan asked.
"No." Leng Ya shook his head.
"So what are you worried about?"
Leng Ya understood. He just had a clear conscience.
"For sword cultivators of our generation, only a pure sword heart can go further." Wu Lan and Leng Ya criticized, "Your heart is too mixed!
"Go down and retreat. Don't come out until your mind is clear of distractions!"
"Yes!" Leng Ya saluted, "Thank you for your guidance, Elder."
After the ceremony, he turned and left.
Behind him, Wu Lan looked at his back and shook his head secretly. This disciple had too many thoughts in his mind, and was destined not to go far.
In the cave of Gu Yueming, the main peak of Daojian Sect, Qin Ran, who was sitting on a chair beside him, suddenly opened his eyes and reported to Gu Yueming, who was sitting cross-legged on a cushion: "Master, there is news from the main body that another soul clone has sneaked into Zhishen Valley."
Gu Yueming laughed when he heard this: "Great! If you sneak into Zhishen Valley, it will definitely be a mess!"
"Zhishengu has actually already noticed something. What I can do will be limited." Qin Ran shook his head. "It will be good enough if we can complete the second step as planned."
"It's okay. I feel relieved with you here. Zhisheng Valley is nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs." Gu Yueming repeated Qin Ran's pretentious words before.
Qin Ran paused when he heard this, wanting to say that it was just words he said to comfort him, but he didn't refute it in the end.
Instead, he continued to report: "Master, the main body said that there are not many sects coming to Zhisheng Valley now, and Zhisheng Valley has almost gathered. So our first step has been completed.
"I am currently leading Jun Xing and the others back. When he returns, we will start the second step of the plan."
"He's back?" Gu Yueming nodded. "It's good that he's back. He brings hope to the next generation of Dao Jian Sect. There can't be any accidents. I'm worried and can't sleep every day."
"It's time to take the second step..." He said, and then asked, "How many clones have you entered Zhishen Valley now?"
"Four soul clones," Qin Ran replied, "Twelve water clones."
“Good, good, good!” Gu Yueming laughed again. “If there are sixteen Qin Rans in Zhishen Valley, Zhishen Valley will surely be turned upside down.”
“Master!” Qin Ran had to remind him, “My actual combat power is actually very low, and the combat power of my clones is even lower. So no matter how many clones go in, they can’t actually have an impact on Zhishen Valley with their combat power. The reason why I sent so many clones is just to confuse people and prevent accidents.”
He asked in a deep voice, "Master, do you remember what the key to our second step is?"
"The key to the second step?" Gu Yueming finally came back to his senses and remembered the important matter. "The elixir! The key to the second step is the elixir. Zhishen Valley used the elixir to win people's hearts, and we will use the elixir to alienate people's hearts."
“Yes!” Qin Ran nodded and said, “I sent my clone into Zhisheng Valley to refine the elixir and alienate the Hengduan Mountain Alliance. This will further weaken the strength of Zhisheng Valley.
“My alchemy skills are not inferior to those of Zhishengu. I will deconstruct the pills distributed by Zhishengu, and then refine poison pills that are exactly the same. I will then mix the poison pills with the pills distributed by Zhishengu.
"It doesn't need to be many. As long as a small number of monks die from Zhisheng Valley's elixirs, Zhisheng Valley's reputation will be destroyed. Zhisheng Valley's elixirs will no longer play the role of winning people's hearts. Everyone who takes Zhisheng Valley's elixir will wonder if this pill is a deadly poison.
"It takes a lot of time, manpower, and material resources to build the Honesty Building, but it only takes a moment to destroy it. Now that Zhisheng Valley has gathered most of the sects in the Immortal Relics Land, this is the time when their popularity is at its peak. However, things will turn into the opposite extreme, and this is also the time when they are most dangerous."
Gu Yueming couldn't help but sigh for Zhishengu after hearing this. It was such a sinister move. How could Zhishengu have an enemy like Qin Ran?
But there was still one thing he couldn't figure out: "Why is your alchemy level so high? You can deconstruct and copy the elixir in a short period of time? Doesn't that mean your alchemy level is much higher than Zhishen Valley's?"
Qin Ran smiled upon hearing this, with a hint of contempt in his smile. To say that the strength of Zhisheng Valley was just a piece of trash was a bit pretentious; but to say that the level of Zhisheng Valley's alchemy was just a piece of trash was the truth.
Although his original alchemy skills were not low, they were only on par with the powerful alchemists in Zhishen Valley. But... ever since the Tianhai Domain clone received the inheritance from the old demon Shenhua, his alchemy skills have skyrocketed, and now, he can completely beat Zhishen Valley.
Now, the conditions that limit him from refining the elixir are only spiritual medicine and cultivation.
"I do have some confidence in alchemy," he said to Gu Yueming.
Gu Yueming looked at Qin Ran and shook his head unconsciously. He found that he could no longer understand Qin Ran.
Originally, Qin Ran was very simple. He saw through him at a glance. He was just a talented alchemist. But when he started to get in touch with Qin Ran, he found that Qin Ran was very hidden. He was a sinister and cunning alchemist. Then after further contact, he found that he still didn't understand much. Qin Ran's alchemy skills were much better than he imagined.
Every time he thought he understood Qin Ran, Qin Ran told him, no, you don’t understand me at all.
He was sighing when Qin Ran spoke again...
"In war, finding ways to kill the enemy is one thing, but on the other hand, you have to find ways to strengthen your own strength." Qin Ran added, "I can't help with the fight, and it's too late to make the elixir. But there is one thing I can help with."
besides?
Gu Yueming felt a little numb.
How many surprises are there that he doesn't know about?
"What?" he asked.
"Formation!" Qin Ran said, "I know a little bit about it. I came back in a hurry to set up the formation. Master, please prepare the materials for the formation in advance."
"Oh!" Gu Yueming nodded woodenly, "Very good, not bad."
