Chapter 171 A good opportunity to make achievements, the beginnings of the world and the common people, be gentle to me Tan
Tai Qing left with some shame and anger.
She would not simply think that Jiang Lan was really interested in her body. In some ways, the two were very similar, both were profit-driven.
From the way Jiang Lan taught her this technique, it can be seen that he really regarded himself as a tool for practicing martial arts, purely without any emotion.
Even though he usually smiles, is gentle and amiable, and appears to be very easy-going, if his interests are touched upon, he will probably be more ruthless and cold-blooded than anyone else, and will not show any emotional fluctuations because of this.
Such a person is obviously the most terrifying, because you can never guess what he is thinking, and you have no idea what kind of true heart is hidden behind his smiling face.
Tan Tai Qing didn't expect at all that he could play Jiang Lan around as his grandfather said.
However, as long as there are enough benefits, the two can be tied together forever, which is a good thing for her.
"I now have a source of mortal energy, but it's still not enough for me to refine the foundation of the Dharma of Heaven and Earth..."
After Tan Tai Qing left, Jiang Lan fell into deep thought.
The fact that Tan Tai Qing would agree had actually always been within his expectations and plans.
This woman's ambition is even greater than Chu Chan's. The Tan Tai family intends to use her to establish a connection with his grandfather Li Ran, so as to escape from the upcoming demonic disaster.
Naturally, Tan Tai Qing was unwilling to be such a pawn.
She aspires to be a saint and create greater glory than her ancestors ever had, so how could she be bound by her family?
But the only person who can help her right now is herself.
"According to Helian Wen's personality, it is unlikely that he would take the initiative to contact the people of the Helian family, so it is very likely that Huangfu Hao is behind it..."
"What good does it do Huangfu Hao if the Helian family and the Tantai family fight? Since he was able to escape from the Demonic Abyss, he must have some means to hide from the three guardian families and re-enter the Demonic Abyss. Is he planning to fish in troubled waters?"
"If my guess is correct, a third party force on Feixian Island has also begun to get involved and has come into contact with Huangfu Hao."
Jiang Lan pondered, and then instructed You'er to go to Prince Zhong's Mansion.
While staying temporarily in the Tan Tai family, he asked Kong Xuan and others to go to the vicinity of the Demon Abyss to assist Ao Yin in patrolling and keep an eye on his unusual movements.
This action was naturally intended to confuse people and make them think that his attention was focused on the Demon Abyss.
After Helian Wen came into contact with the Helian family, the Helian family would definitely know about his relationship with Tan Tai Qing and become hostile towards him.
Kong Xuan, Ao Yin and others who are near the Demon Abyss will inevitably encounter some troubles next.
The Demon Abyss is huge, like a huge scar in the sky, stretching across the central area of Feixian Island. It is as steep as a knife and unfathomable.
There are endless mountain ranges on both sides, lush ancient trees, towering peaks, and deep miasma that shrouds the sky all year round and never dissipates for thousands of years.
If you look at it from the sky in the distance, it looks like an inverted giant black bowl.
The edge of the bowl is the border area of the Demon Abyss. The four royal families and the three guardian families have built ten cities here as the Demon-suppressing Pass. They are surrounded by stars surrounding the moon, guarding the Demon Abyss.
Each family controls three of them, and the four royal families together control one. Due to the special nature of the Demon Abyss, various rare treasures and rare mineral veins often appear in the surrounding ancient forest mountains.
Many powerful adventurers came here, and over the long years, these cities became extremely prosperous and bustling cities on Feixian Island.
It is not inferior to several big cities close to the coast and involved in commercial and trade transactions.
Yongsu City is a big city jointly controlled by four royal families.
"I didn't notice the changes in the Demon Abyss, but these past few days I often saw young disciples of the Helian family looking for trouble with the Tantai family."
"That's interesting. Could it be that the demonic disaster didn't break out, but instead two of the three guardian families fought to the death? With rivers of blood flowing?"
In a restaurant near the window, two women were looking at the bustling scene outside the window. One of the women smiled sweetly, and it was Kong Xuan.
She has fair and delicate features, an oval face, hair like a waterfall, a fondness for colorful dresses, and a colorful glow in her eyes.
Opposite her, Ao Yin, wearing silver soft armor, was quietly drinking from the wine glass, with no emotion in his light golden pupils.
She did not tie her hair into a ponytail today. Instead, she let her long silver hair down to her waist. Although it lacked a bit of neatness, it had a kind of nobility unique to a dragon princess.
In the restaurant, many practitioners and living beings looked over secretly, with a look of amazement in their eyes.
However, few people recognized them. After all, Feixian Island was not Zhongtian Province, and they came from the North Sea, which was billions of miles away from here. It would be difficult to reach them without a large-scale teleportation array.
The only teleportation array on Feixian Island had already been destroyed during the battle to seal the Demon Abyss.
In today's era, there is no longer a way to cast a teleportation array. Even if a saint takes action to open a space channel, it cannot be maintained forever.
Many of the native creatures of Feixian Island have never left the island in their entire lives. They only know from some merchants or disciples of major sects that there is an endless and vast continent on the other side of the distant ocean, and they are fascinated by it...
"It is not the right decision for the Helian family to go head-to-head with the Tan Tai family at this time. Instead, it will make public opinion lean towards the Tan Tai family."
"However, the Saint Family probably doesn't care about these things. They will have plenty of ways to suppress and cleanse them afterwards."
Ao Yin took a sip of wine and looked at the long street outside. He didn't care about the situation on Feixian Island.
Whether it was her or Kong Xuan, they were just following orders.
Even if a demonic disaster breaks out and Feixian Island becomes a deadly place, it has nothing to do with the two of them.
“It’s just that two great saintly families are fighting each other, and who knows how many innocent lives will die tragically in it…” Kong Xuan felt a little reluctant.
Ao Yin shook her head, knowing her character, but she didn't say much.
"These people are weird..."
She stared at a few people browsing in a shop, as if she was thinking about something.
"What's strange?" Kong Xuan looked in the direction she was looking.
They were several tall men, wearing soft and luxurious brocade robes and jin hats, with gold and silver jewels wrapped around their wrists and waists, giving people a sense of wealth.
"The aura they carry doesn't belong to the human race, but they are dressed like human traveling merchants. Their behavior is also unnatural. They pretend to flip through the goods in the shops, but their eyes are looking elsewhere..." Ao Yin said calmly and put down the wine glass in his hand.
"It does feel a bit like a monkey in human clothing." Kong Xuan also said.
Ao Yin still stared at those people.
"However, you also know that many sea creatures find it difficult to adapt when they come to human gathering places, and often disguise themselves as humans to avoid scaring humans with their ugly appearance. Judging from their appearance, they should be traveling merchants from the sea who come here to do business." Kong Xuan said.
"Not the sea clan." Ao Yin shook his head.
"What tribe is that?" Kong Xuan's pupils were filled with five-colored divine light, trying to see through the identities of that group of people.
"Barbarians." Ao Yin said naturally.
Kong Xuan's expression changed slightly, and then he looked at her, but he waved his hand lightly under the table, and a barrier appeared, ensuring that their conversation would not be heard by outsiders.
"Are you sure?" she asked in a low voice.
Ao Yin nodded and said, "You should know that I have a talent, which is one of the four great divine pupils along with the Delusion-Breaking Divine Pupil. It can see through many illusions and disguises."
Kong Xuan's expression suddenly became serious, and he asked, "Should we take them down? This is a good opportunity to make a contribution. Yuan Kong and his men have been much more well-behaved recently, and they seem to really want to work for Jiang Lan. You and I want to regain our freedom, so no matter what, we still have to listen to his orders honestly..."
"Free..."
Ao Yin muttered these three words, and a divine light flashed in his golden pupils. He said, "Don't rush to act, so as not to alert the enemy. It won't be of much use if we just capture a few barbarians."
"We'll see what they want to do."
Soon, the two paid the spirit stones, quietly hid their bodies, and left the restaurant.
In a blink of an eye, night falls.
The hour of Xu has just passed.
The land of the Tan Tai family, where Tan Tai Qing usually resides.
The mountain was completely silent. Even the chirping of birds, animals and insects could hardly be heard. It seemed very peaceful.
The pine needles outside the palace were blown by the wind. Under the light, the shadows of the leaves swayed. The clear springs flowed between the peaks, and the sound of tinkling water was like a tune.
In the bedroom, the golden lamps and incense burners are not only bright, but also have a warm atmosphere like spring.
On the large rosewood bed, Tan Tai Qing was wearing a gauze as thin as clouds, with her black hair loose, as if she had just taken a bath, and her skin, as crystal clear and delicate as white jade, was still covered with some moisture.
She sat cross-legged, her slender hands seemingly forming seals to practice some martial art.
As she breathed, wisps of mist would flow from her mouth and nose. The mist dissipated like clouds, and transformed into different charming figures in the void.
If you look closely, you will find that those figures are exactly the same as her facial features.
The difference is their different expressions, some are cold as ice, some are charming, some are cute and playful, some are naive and shy...
Jiang Lan sat quietly at the jade table not far away, paying attention to Tan Tai Qing's actions without making any noise to disturb him.
Soon, as she finished her practice, the mist dissipated and turned into essence and energy that gathered back into her body.
Tan Tai Qing also suddenly opened his eyes, his gem-like, crystal-clear pupils reflecting Jiang Lan's peerless face.
"He is indeed a promising talent with extraordinary comprehension. He has already mastered many essentials in a short period of time."
Jiang Lan laughed, stood up and walked towards her.
Tan Tai Qing did not shy away from being shy. She looked at him frankly and rolled her eyes, saying, "How can you say that I have amazing comprehension when you are reluctant to pass on a truly powerful technique, such as the Four Holy Spirits' magical powers, to me, and instead let me learn some useless tricks?"
"This is not an ordinary martial art. It is the secret scroll of the Mingyuan Sect in Zhongtianzhou. As for whether it is useful or not, you will know in a moment." Jiang Lan said with a smile.
"Mingyuan Sect?"
Tan Tai Qingdao had also heard of the name of this sect. It was one of the top immortal sects in Zhongtianzhou, as famous as the Yao Chi Sect, the Wendao Ancient School, the Yijian Sect, etc., and had a heritage of thousands of years.
"Hmph, it's just a useless technique, not worthy of being presented in a prestigious venue." She snorted coldly, wanting to get some more techniques out of Jiang Lan's mouth before doing so.
"The Six Desires Magic that you practice is not necessarily well-known." Jiang Lan walked closer with a smile on his face, leaned over and put his arms around her slender waist.
"Dog man..."
"Be gentle with me..."
Tan Tai Qing knew the result, so she glared at him hatefully, then raised her face, put her arms around his neck, and responded back.
The next day, there was still a drizzle in the sky.
The air outside the window seemed much fresher, and the sky seemed brighter.
"The Qi of the Six Desires and the Qi of the Seven Emotions are indeed mysterious and contain the foundation of the mortal world. However, it will take some time to extract and refine the pure Qi of the mortal world from them."
"Moreover, the quantity is not enough. Judging from Tan Tai Qing's current cultivation, it will take at least half a year to obtain enough mortal energy for me to condense the prototype of the Dharma of Heaven and Earth."
"But half a year is too long."
Jiang Lan casually put on a robe, stood by the window, and looked at the scene outside.
But his brows were furrowed.
Refining the earthly energy cannot be accomplished overnight, and the amount of earthly energy he needs is quite a lot.
Although breaking through the seventh realm in half a year was already astonishing at his age, Jiang Lan still felt it was too slow and a bit of a waste of time.
The main reason is that Jiang Ruxian’s cultivation strength has always been superior to his.
It's not that I feel a sense of urgency, but I just feel a little unhappy.
“Even if I ask Tan Tai Qing to teach me the Six Desires Magic Skill, it still takes time to gather the Six Desires Qi, which is far less than what she has accumulated over the years.”
"However, when the Dharma of Heaven and Earth, which is smelted with the common people as its foundation, evolves to perfection, it will become the world and all living beings. It can even allow me to touch the mystery of the world one step ahead."
This time, Jiang Lan chose to discuss with his father and plot against the Saint Family because of this opportunity.
If there is a small world with complete background as his foundation, integrating the laws and domains of heaven and earth into it, then it is equivalent to having a small world of his own when he is in the seventh realm.
At that point, even a saint would find it difficult to do anything to him.
Even when facing a powerful being in the eighth realm, he can rely on his innate invincibility and even borrow the power of the small world to suppress it.
This method is completely a dimensionality reduction attack.
"In the future, I can only ask her to help me practice more..."
Jiang Lan turned his head and glanced at Tan Tai Qing who was still asleep. She no longer had the arrogance and pride of the past. Instead, her sleeping face looked very peaceful and beautiful.
Her disheveled hair covered half of her face, making her look both pure and charming.
As if he was vaguely aware of the hard life that was coming his way, Tan Tai Qing frowned in his sleep.
However, Jiang Lan had already opened the palace door and left.
But soon after he left, he received an anxious report from You'er that two of his followers, Ao Yin and Kong Xuan, were missing.
The first person to discover this was Xiangxiao from the Sea God clan.
She sent a message to Kong Xuan last night to inform her of the movements in the area she was responsible for, but the message fell on deaf ears and there was no response.
Whenever Jiang Lan gave an order, Kong Xuan would usually respond, regardless of whether there was any action or not.
This something was not right made Xiangxiao suspicious, so he sent people to inquire. As a result, even the people dispatched by the two men did not know where they were.
