Delivery to Lanjia
"People like this should be taught a lesson. Are you okay?"
Qian Luo shook her head. She had heard everything clearly just now from the side. Now that the Lan family had the protection of Yuanying Zhenjun, they thought that nothing should be a problem. She had not expected that Lan Xianghan in front of her was already a foundation-building cultivator at such a young age.
The monks who had been oppressed before immediately came forward to thank Lan Xianghan. When Lan Xianghan left, she had a bunch of things in her arms.
"Thank you everyone, no thanks..."
"The female cultivators of the Lan family are still kind-hearted!"
"The Wei family is so shameless! So many posts on the forum have been blocked!"
Lan Xianghan was lost in thought when she returned to the Lan family's home. Her parents were already waiting at the door.
Her mother, Lan Wenxin, is of the eldest branch of the Lan family. She is in the middle stage of foundation building and is over a hundred years old. Lan Xianghan is an only child. She was born in her old age and loves her dearly.
After Lan Xianghan was diagnosed with wood spiritual roots, her parents cried with joy. Unfortunately, she was sent to the upper third district soon after, and they haven't seen her for more than 20 years.
"Xiao Han!"
"You're finally back!"
"Mom! Let's go in and talk!" Lan Xianghan's house is a Chinese-style villa with mountains and water, and beautiful scenery. It is especially suitable for cultivating spiritual plants, with abundant spiritual energy, which is most suitable for practicing.
"Okay, okay, my daughter is tired, let's go inside and talk!" Lan Wenxin held her husband Lan Huairen with one hand and her daughter Lan Xianghan with the other, smiling so hard that she couldn't stop. She hadn't been so happy in a long time.
The family of three sat at the dinner table, a table full of spiritual food, steaming hot and emitting a faint spiritual aura. Lan Wenxin took the initiative to pick up some food for her daughter: "This is the butterfly meat you loved most when you were a child. Do you think it still tastes the same?"
Butterfly meat is a kind of monster with a piece of meat on its back that looks like a butterfly. The meat is delicious and expensive. It is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Under her mother's expectant gaze, Lan Xianghan picked up the butterfly meat, took a bite, and nodded: "Thank you, Mom, it's still as delicious as when I was a child. I know it's your cooking. No one else can make it taste this good."
"I'm glad you like it. You've grown so much since we last met. Has anyone bullied you in the Upper Three Districts? Is the master good to you?"
They had only recently learned that their daughter, Lan Xianghan, had become a direct disciple of Qingmin Zhenjun, the Linglong Sect in the Upper Third District. Although Lan Xianghan was previously gifted and possessed wood spiritual roots, she had always been an inner sect disciple. It was unknown how she had caught the attention of Qingmin Zhenjun this time.
Personal disciples are different from ordinary inner disciples. Personal disciples are often the disciples that Yuanying Zhenjun values the most, and are also the disciples that Zhenjun believes have potential.
Maybe a few hundred years later, the Lan family will have another Yuanying Zhenjun.
"Mom, Dad, don't worry. This time, we have Master protecting us. The five major families will definitely not dare to do anything to us. By the way, is there something else behind the death of our ancestor?"
Lan Xianghan put down her chopsticks, her face heavy. She was extremely anxious when she received the news that her mother had come. The Lan family's grandmother was a gentle person who never argued with others.
"Xiao Han, you're older now, and your cultivation has improved. There are some things you should know. The Wei and Jiang families have been vying for the position of district chief. The other four major families haven't expressed their views, but our Lan family is the weakest among the six major families, so the two families have been openly and covertly provoking us to force the Grandpa Team to fight."
"In the past, our Lan family and the Jiang family did have some conflicts. The reason was the delivery of spiritual plants. The Lan family's spiritual plant production was declining year by year, resulting in failure to meet the delivery standards. The Jiang family needed a large number of spiritual plants for alchemy. In addition to the Lan family, the Jiang family also contacted several small suppliers for spiritual plants."
"So, the feud was formed."
Lan Xianghan understood and frowned: "Could it be the Jiang family?"
She was unwilling to believe that it was done by the Jiang family, because the Jiang, Lan and Shui families often had business dealings, and all three families had mostly girls. Girls of the same age often played together. When they were young, she, Jiang Feiyao and Shui Qingyan had the best relationship.
Seeing her daughter's worried face, Lan Wenxin shook her head. "We believe the Jiang family would never do such a thing, but the Wei family is watching covetously. The other three families seem to be staying out of this, but they are also involved."
Lan Huairen sighed, "Child, you are still young and don't understand the wickedness of human nature. I am telling you these things now so that you will understand that when you return, you must be extremely careful with the Jiang family, the Shui family, or any other family."
Lan Xianghan thought about what she had done in Xiuxianfang that afternoon, smiled slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "I seem to have offended the Wei family."
"What? What happened to you? Talk to mom and dad."
Lan Xianghan was going to buy spiritual plants at Xiuxianfang this afternoon, but Wei Chao intervened. Wei Chao took advantage of the situation and became angry and rampant.
After listening to this, Lan Huairen slapped the table with anger in his eyes and said, "Well done! People like this should be severely punished. I've heard about what he did a long time ago!"
Lan Wenxin agreed, hugging her daughter. "How dare a mere Qi-cultivating cultivator humiliate our Lan family? On what basis? Just because the Wei family controls the spiritual mine business, does that mean they can do whatever they want?"
"Okay, Mom and Dad, don't be angry. Look, this is the purple jade fungus and beauty flower I bought from the stall owner."
Lan Xianghan took out the spiritual plants she had purchased. Lan Wenxin didn't care at first, as she would have accepted anything with a smile. But when she saw the two spiritual plants, she suddenly felt a refreshing fragrance that was very different from the spiritual plants they had cultivated at home.
Although it is only a short time old, the spiritual energy and appearance of the spiritual plant cannot deceive anyone.
They gasped in shock. These three-year spiritual plants were actually comparable to the spiritual plants that the Lan family had cultivated for thirty years!
Shortening the time is not something that everyone can do. What method did the stall owner use to accelerate the growth of spiritual plants in such a short time?
"This...does the stall owner have contact information?" Lan Wenxin and her husband looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Lan Xianghan took out her Lingwang phone. There were not many people in the phone, and her greetings to Qianluo were limited to system replies. In order to repeat her name, Qianluo used a picture of rain as her profile picture.
"The stall owner, Wen Siyu, is young and a Qi-cultivating cultivator. He doesn't seem to come from a well-off family. He not only sells spiritual plants, but also elixirs and some strange and unusual items."
"She said she has new stock and will let me know."
Lan Wenxin pinched her palms, breathing rapidly. If the other party really had a method that could quickly ripen spiritual plants, then they must respectfully invite them over.
The Lan family is indeed an expert at cultivating spiritual plants, but they are not as good as before and cannot reach the quantity in the contract every year. Otherwise, the Jiang family would not look for other suppliers to replace the Lan family.
Lan Xianghan noticed her parents' expressions and realized Wen Siyu's importance, so she immediately sent a message to him: "Fellow Daoist Siyu, please let me know if you have new stock. We are in urgent need of it."
Qian Luo, who received the message, was lying on the big bed in the hotel, petting the cat and eating spiritual takeout, enjoying herself so much that she didn't want to leave. When she heard her phone beep, her eyes lit up. It was indeed Lan Xianghan looking for her.
"Okay, I have some ten-year-old purple spirit fruit here, but it's not ripe yet. Do you need it?"
The purple spirit fruit is a good material. It tastes sweet and is good for beauty and skin care. Both male and female nuns love it. She transplanted this fruit from the Baicao Garden, so she can also make money from it as a gardener.
The other party quickly sent the location: "Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, I will inspect the goods in person."
“Okay, okay!”
Qianluo turned over several times in bed and said happily: "Finally, I can enter the Lan family!"
…
The next morning at nine o'clock, Qian Luo got up early on purpose and put on the high-level robes that she had simulated buying for free three times. The girl in the mirror was tall, with thin lips, curved eyebrows, and a smile like a spring flower. She looked very neat.
After stuffing Chi Zhao into the spirit beast bag, she arrived at her destination with a mixture of excitement and trepidation. She was only at the place where Lan Xianghan's parents lived, not the actual Lan family compound. The map Huang Chen had given her only marked the address of the Lan family compound, which was not accessible to ordinary cultivators.
"here!"
"Fellow Daoist Siyu, these are my parents." Lan Xianghan greeted Qianluo as soon as she saw her. She did not have the airs of a foundation-building cultivator at all. She introduced her parents to Qianluo.
"Hello, uncle and aunt, I am Wen Siyu. Today I am here to do business with fellow Daoist Lan Xianghan." Qianluo took out a potted plant.
"Is this a ten-year-old purple spiritual fruit?!" Lan Wenxin and her husband Lan Huairen have been learning to cultivate spiritual plants since childhood. As one of the main ingredients of the anti-aging pill, they have certainly seen the purple spiritual fruit.
The purple leaves were shaking, and the unripe green fruits were tinged with purple, half green and half purple, comparable to the fifty-year-old purple spirit fruit!
Lan Huairen was surprised and looked at his wife: "This is too incredible!"
This little girl should not be underestimated! She can actually cultivate such a high-quality purple spirit fruit by herself.
You must know that the cultivation of spiritual plants must be extremely cautious. It is not as simple as a load-bearing apple or pear tree. Even apples and pears can die mid-cultivation. Spiritual plants, as plants that absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, are naturally more precious.
The Lan family has a special "herb garden" which is staffed by veterans with thirty years of cultivation experience. Newbies cannot enter at all and can only grow some fruits, flowers and plants at home.
Spiritual plants are delicate and cannot be touched casually.
The family of three in front of her stared at the purple spirit fruit, as if they could see flowers. Qian Luo wondered in her heart, is there something wrong with this ten-year-old purple spirit fruit?
"Is there anything wrong, Fellow Daoist Lan?" Qian Luo coughed a few times. It was really embarrassing to call someone Fellow Daoist. It felt like playing house.
But Lan Xianghan was so serious that even a monk from the countryside like her had to act pretentious.
Lan Wenxin spoke first, looking at the little girl in front of her with admiration: "No... I'm just too surprised!"
This little girl was neither humble nor arrogant. She was wearing robes purchased from Jubao Pavilion. She was at the fifth level of Qi training and should not be very old. She had clear eyes, but there was a look of perseverance between her brows. At first glance, she was a girl with thoughts and ideas.
She glanced at her daughter and husband and mused, "Fellow Daoist Siyu, to be honest, your Purple Spirit Fruit looks like it's fifty years old..."
Qian Luo frowned. She had never seen a ten-year-old purple spirit fruit. Anyway, the fruits in Butterfly Granny's Hundred Herb Garden all grew like this. She didn't know how many years it had taken her to take care of the garden.
Lan Wenxin felt conflicted when she thought about the Lan family's recent bad business, but she didn't know how to start. She held her daughter's hand, and her daughter Lan Xianghan also understood what her mother meant.
Lan Xianghan wasn't one to beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Fellow Daoist Siyu, my mother wanted to ask you about this very special cultivation method. It's very important to our Lan family. We'd like to hire you as a guest elder to manage the cultivation of spiritual plants."
Qian Luo was stunned when she heard this. She didn't have any cultivation techniques at all. It was just that the spiritual fruits in Baicao Garden were well grown, the seeds were good, and there was sufficient spiritual energy, so no matter how she grew them, the fruits wouldn't be too bad.
"I'm sorry, I haven't learned any cultivation techniques, and I'm not qualified to be a guest elder of the Lan family..."
Qian Luo refused hastily, and then stopped talking. She wanted to enter the Lan family and ask about Lan Mingzhu's parents, so she shouldn't refuse so quickly.
Clearly, the Lan family's parents were sincere. "Fellow Daoist Siyu, don't be so hasty to refuse. As one of the six great families, our Lan family has a profound heritage and countless spiritual plants. Most importantly, I see that you've already reached the fifth level of Qi training at such a young age. You'll definitely need Foundation Establishment Pills to advance in the future. We have business dealings with the Jiang family and possess a variety of elixirs."
Lan Huairen sized up Qianluo's expression and said cautiously, "If you can guarantee the quantity of spiritual plants in the future, the Lan and Jiang families' businesses will continue to improve, which will also benefit you in the future."
"This..." Qian Luo lowered her head in thought, but in fact she was secretly delighted. Now she could enter the Lan family's old house openly. She pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Okay, but I don't know any cultivation techniques. It's just the basic skills taught to me by my country mother-in-law. It's not worthy of being used in a formal place."
In this way, he could say that he didn't know any cultivation techniques at all, and it wouldn't be considered deceiving others, and he could also enter the Lan family's old house, killing two birds with one stone.
"But what we say doesn't count. We still have to bring Fellow Daoist Siyu into the Lan family's old house and get the approval of the elders." Lan Xianghan looked at her parents and nodded slightly.
"Indeed, those old guys have been worried about the number of spiritual plants recently. They should be so happy to hear this news that they're almost flying. Let's quickly tell them this good news!"
The Lan family's parents waved their hands, and a beam of light emerged from the spirit beast's bag. In a flash, two majestic white horses appeared before their eyes, pulling an exquisite, classical cyan carriage. Bells engraved with the Chinese character "Lan" were hung on either side. A gentle breeze blew, bringing not only the melodious chimes but also the fragrant aroma of medicine, a refreshing and soothing experience.
"Good horses, thank you for your hard work again!" Lan Wenxin took out a green spiritual plant from the storage bag and handed it to the white horse. The two horses ate quietly, with white light emitting from their bodies.
Under Qianluo's surprised eyes, the horses actually flew into the air. The horses raised their heads and neighed loudly. Under Lan Huairen's comfort, they gradually calmed down and landed in their original places.
Lan Xianghan: "This is the spiritual horse raised by the Lan family. After eating the spiritual grass, it emits white light all over its body and can fly. Let's take a carriage to the Lan family's old house."
As soon as she finished speaking, she lifted the hem of her skirt and jumped directly onto the carriage. She stretched out her hand to Qianluo against the light, her eyes gentle, "Come up."
Qianluo reached out and entered the carriage, followed closely by Lan Wenxin and Lan Huairen. Soon, the white horse neighed and soared into the clouds. Amidst the astonishment of the monks from District Six, it soared into the clouds at an extremely fast speed.
Lan Xianghan explained, "The Lan family's old house is deep in the Qionghua Valley in District 6. A Lan family foundation-building cultivator guards it, so ordinary cultivators don't dare approach easily. Qionghua Valley is a place of concentrated spiritual energy, with picturesque scenery and picturesque mountains and clear waters. It's perfect for growing spiritual creatures and cultivating. Generations of Lan family cultivators have been born and raised here."
Qian Luo was very confused: "We've only met twice, and you actually want me to enter Qionghua Valley? Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?"
In the past, people in the lower three districts were wary of other monks. I didn’t expect that the people here are so kind and tolerant, and ignorant of worldly affairs?
"How can you say that? The spiritual plants you brought are obvious to all. They are of great benefit to our Lan family. Moreover, I see that you have a clear mind and a strong heart. You are not a person with evil intentions."
Lan Xianghan has a gentle appearance, and is as quiet and gentle as a solitary orchid in a valley. She is smiling at the moment, with curved eyebrows and a soft voice. She doesn't look like the person who knocked Wei Chao down with one move.
The other person's parents thought Qianluo was worried, so they hurriedly explained, "The Lan family is in danger. I'm sure you've heard some rumors since entering District 7. I can't tell you the specific details, but the cultivation method you have is indeed very useful to us. That's why we can't wait to enter Qionghua Valley to get the elders' approval."
Lan Xianghan took Qianluo's hand and said, "I think we are destined to be together. When we met before, I saw that you were so brave and outspoken towards Wei Chao, so I knew you were a good girl."
"Let's not be so distant. How about I call you by your name? You call me Xianghan, and my family calls me Xiaohan."
It wasn't that Lan Xianghan was overly enthusiastic, but she'd been in the Upper Three Districts for so long that it was rare for her to have friends around her. Although the girl in front of her had a lower cultivation level than herself, she felt like she was a good match for him.
Qianluo didn’t know what was going on. This family of three was very enthusiastic and now they were calling her sister “sister” or “sister”.
"Ahem, Xianghan... I know your family's situation is quite dangerous. I've heard a little bit about it, but I want to say, as I've confessed to you before, I really don't know anything about breeding methods."
She looked at the purple spirit fruit in Lan Xianghan's hand and sighed: "I may not have great abilities..."
Lan Xianghan smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I need to take the Purple Jade Ganoderma and the Beauty Flower you gave me to the elder to see if there's anything special about them."
"good."
After a while, the Lan family arrived.
