"That's right, Miss Lanzhi is even more beautiful than the princess!" As soon as the servant on the left finished saying this, he was immediately glared at by his brother.
"Sir, don't listen to my brother's nonsense..." As the servants commented on the princess's appearance, if anyone could hear them, they would be in trouble. The elder brother on the right quickly changed the subject to cultivation. He said, "Miss Lanzhi is so young, but she's already reached the Qingyuan realm. I heard that many young masters want to pursue her... but they're just thinking about it. Most people don't have the courage to go against Prince Rui's mansion."
"Qingyuan Realm?" Shangguan Jianxing's heart moved. He had originally just wanted to chat to relieve his boredom, but he didn't expect to hear some useful information. He asked, "Are there many female cultivators in the Qingyuan Realm?"
"How could that be a lot? In the entire capital... Miss Lan Zhi is the only woman of the same generation who is at the Qing Yuan realm. As for the men... there are two. One was last year's top scholar, and the other is the young master of the Duke's Mansion... But this young master was unlucky. Not long after, he became possessed by a demon, lost all his cultivation, and became an ordinary person..."
"Speaking of possessed, there's recent news that Miss Lan Zhi's eldest brother has also been possessed, acting mad and mad, and even ran away from the mansion! In comparison, the young master of the Duke's Mansion is quite lucky, because he has only lost his cultivation, but his mind is still normal..."
Shangguan Jianxing wondered if the woman he had seen before was Lan Zhi?
He couldn't be sure, so he said quietly, "It's a pity that I'm blind. I've never seen Miss Lanzhi... I'm a little curious about her. Can you describe her appearance?"
"Of course!" When it comes to appearance, the servant on the left is very enthusiastic and says without hesitation: "Red lips and white teeth, so beautiful that the moon and flowers are ashamed!"
The one on the right added: "She has a pure and elegant temperament, noble and cold."
Shangguan Jianxing: "...I want you to describe her facial features. Your description is so vague that I can't imagine what she looks like at all."
"Hey, young master, just know that she's beautiful. We're both uneducated and illiterate... To be honest, the compliments we just used were all heard from others, and we only memorized them after repeating them several times. If you ask us to describe her appearance, we can only say, 'She's really beautiful...'"
"Yes, sir, we don't have that kind of literary talent."
"Okay." Shangguan Jianxing raised his hand and touched his eyes, sighed softly, and really wanted to recover his eyesight as soon as possible.

…
After returning from Xinglin Hall, Jiang Qingcheng was well-behaved for a few days.
Lan Zhi devoted herself to studying the "Poison Spirit Sutra" and refined Gu Ling in her spare time. Gu Ling is a pitch-black insect with many legs. The leg structure looks a bit like a centipede, but the body is similar to a caterpillar. Their body is only the size of a grain of rice. They like to sleep. They can eat empty rice grains and then hide themselves in the rice grains. They can also temporarily make themselves transparent, making it impossible for people to see them.
As soon as they enter the human body, they will immediately find a place to hide.
Lan Zhi thought this little thing was very useful. She refined a group of poisonous spirits in two days. Densely packed little bugs were lying on the table, as if it was covered with a black tablecloth, which made people feel claustrophobic. Lan Zhi felt uncomfortable watching it, but after all, it was something she refined, so she could only endure the discomfort and feed them her blood.
Gu spirits are similar to mother and child Gu, they are both equivalent to child Gu, as for the mother Gu...
Whoever gives them life is the mother Gu.
As long as the "Mother Gu" has a thought, they will obey orders.
"So many bugs... I feel like an evil cultivator..."
Lan Zhi muttered, she took out a small box and placed it under the table, and the poisonous spirits on the table immediately jumped in like dumplings.
"There are too many bugs. I can't afford to keep them. How about giving my cousin a few dozen more?"
"Just one would make her suffer excruciating pain. If there were more insects..."
"Forget it, why do I feel like I have really become evil?" Lan Zhi used to hate little bugs the most, but many chapters of "The Poison Spirit Sutra" are about bugs. In addition to this kind of Gu spirit, the book also records many strange bugs such as "flying fish bugs", "transparent Gu", "illusion eye bugs", "tail sting bugs", etc. Take the last one, "tail sting bug", for example. This bug looks very much like a bee, but its body is pure black. It doesn't look like a good bug at first glance.
Moreover, the method of making this insect is unusual. You need to catch ordinary bees first...
Lan Zhi hates bees and feels that she will never have any chance to encounter stinging insects in her life, but that's not necessarily the case, anything is possible.
The only thing Lanzhi was interested in was the flying fish worm, which could fly in the air. It was named so because it liked to eat fish and hide in the belly of fish.
The time for learning is short. Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Lan Zhi was fascinated by learning and planned to go out to catch some fish and get the flying fish worms out. She came to the stream to fish and heard footsteps passing by. Lan Zhi didn't pay attention, but the footsteps stopped and stopped behind her.
"Who?" Lan Zhi turned around and saw a strange young man.
The young man was dressed in red, with black hair and red lips. His peach blossom eyes were sparkling and affectionate, and his facial features were extremely charming. His appearance was beautiful and unforgettable.
"Hello, young lady, my name is Shangguan Jianxing." His voice was clear and pleasant.
"Lanzhi."
"Lanzhi..." Although they were just two simple words, he pronounced them with a very elegant feeling. He looked at Lanzhi with a smile in his eyes, as if he had a lot to say.
"We don't know each other, right?" Lan Zhi asked suspiciously. She always felt that the young man's smile had ill intentions, which made her want to punch him and tell him to be quiet and stop smiling.
"I don't know you. I like fishing too. When I saw you were fishing too, I wanted to get to know you..." Shangguan Jianxing said.
Lan Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "Meeting is fate. Since you want to get to know me... then come with me. My family is having rice for lunch today, and it's a mixture of black rice and white rice. I can serve you a bowl to try..."
White rice is naturally ordinary rice, and as for black rice... it refers to the Gu spirit she refined today.
Shangguan Jianxing shook his head. "Thank you for your kindness, young lady. I like pasta, not rice."
"How difficult is that? I can also ask my housekeeper to cook noodles instead of rice..."
Shangguan Jianxing was very helpless, "Miss, this is too enthusiastic, but I don't like to go to other people's houses for free meals."
"That's such a pity." Lan Zhi said it was a pity, but her expression remained calm. She stood up and stretched, her lips curled slightly as she smiled, "I don't like strangers approaching within three meters of me either. Although you are handsome, I am timid and afraid that you are sent by someone to harm me, so..."
"So?" Shangguan Jianxing suddenly had a bad feeling.
"So, I poisoned you, sir... well, it's not really poison, it's actually a parasite, it's not life-threatening."
