Chapter 299 The lingering nightmare
Chapter 299 The lingering nightmare
"Ancestor, Patriarch, a man named Long Aotian came to visit us and asked to see the Patriarch."
As soon as Lu Li finished speaking, a servant came quickly from a distance and spoke respectfully to the two of them.
Bai Lan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Speaking of Aotian Aotian, you might as well invite him in. I want to hear what tricks he has to play."
Lu Li nodded slightly: "Do as Elder Bai said."
The servant looked up at Bai Lan, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he bowed and retreated.
"This person is my old enemy. He has a remnant soul of a demon cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Stage. That remnant soul was the culprit that caused the destruction of the Yuling Sect a thousand years ago."
Transformation period?
Lu Li and Cheng Dayan looked at each other.
Ever since the two of them met Bai Lan, how come there are so many Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation Stage masters who are usually elusive?
Lu Li got the longevity elixir and was now in a hurry to go back to refine the elixir to increase his lifespan. He was not interested in anything like Ao Tian Ba Di.
Thirty years is enough time for her to try again and break through to the late stage of Jindan.
After successfully breaking through, she can still live freely for more than a hundred years.
Therefore, the matter of seeing Long Aotian naturally fell on the head of the family, Cheng Dayan.
At this time, Long Aotian didn't know that the Cheng Mansion had become Bai Lan's Cheng Mansion.
He had his hands behind his back and followed the servant with an arrogant look to the front of the head of the Cheng family.
"Are you Long Aotian?" The head of the Cheng family said lightly.
Long Aotian nodded slightly and said straight to the point: "Qiao'er is my woman, no one can take advantage of her."
The head of the Cheng family smiled and said, "The Li family and my Cheng family made a marriage contract three years ago. At that time, we used a foundation-building pill as a token of our love..."
"I, Long Aotian, will return that Foundation Establishment Pill to you on behalf of Qiao'er. Don't bother her again in the future." After Long Aotian finished speaking, he raised his hand and used his spiritual power to carry a Foundation Establishment Pill in front of the head of the Cheng family.
Bai Lan, who was standing behind the screen and hiding his breath, felt the familiar medicinal power of the pill and couldn't help but hold his forehead.
This was the foundation-building pill with added ingredients that she gave to Li Qiaoer, and now it was taken back.
"Reject him." Bai Lan sent a message to the head of the Cheng family.
Only Long Aotian, the son of destiny, can withstand such a rare pill. It is better not to give it out to harm others.
The head of the Cheng family, who had just seen twenty-five Foundation Building Pills, had become desensitized to the three words "Foundation Building Pills". Under normal circumstances, he would have accepted the pills even if he did not agree.
After hearing what Bai Lan said, the Patriarch of the Cheng family looked directly at Long Aotian, smiled and shook his head: "What my son wants to do, how can a foundation-building pill stop him? You can take this pill back."
After joining the Yuling Sect, the Cheng family’s cultivators had a full supply of foundation-building pills.
"Hmph." Long Aotian's expression turned cold, and he spoke word by word: "The Foundation Building Pill is not possible, then, where is the Foundation Building Pill formula?"
The patriarch of the Cheng family raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression remained calm.
It’s just a recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill, and the Sect Leader also has it.
The head of the Cheng family took a sip of tea, his expression unchanged.
Seeing that the head of the Cheng family remained unmoved, Long Aotian frowned slightly and gradually became impatient.
In his expectation, the Cheng family patriarch's expression would change after hearing the five words "Foundation Building Pill Recipe", and then he would stand up in surprise, his heart skipping a beat, and then look at him in surprise.
But now, the Patriarch of the Cheng family didn't seem surprised... Could it be that the recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill didn't impress him?
No, he must have hidden his emotions very well.
"Let Li Qiaoer go. I can become the Cheng family's alchemist and refine foundation-building pills for the Cheng family." Long Aotian raised his chin slightly.
The Patriarch of the Cheng family seemed to be a little interested, and looked at Long Aotian with a slight smile: "Oh? Then what is your success rate of pills?"
"Seventy percent." Long Aotian confidently reported a number: "The materials needed for alchemy must be provided by the Cheng family. In addition, the Cheng family must also give me spiritual stones every month according to the treatment of offering sacrifices to elders."
Alchemists have a highly respected status. If Long Aotian appeared before Bai Lan, when he appeared in front of the head of the Cheng family with the recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill and his identity as an alchemist, he might really be treated as a guest of honor by the other party.
The head of the Cheng family would even force his son to stop trying to hit on Li Qiaoer for the sake of the family's interests.
But now...
“Haha.” The Cheng family patriarch smiled and shook his head: “It’s just a Foundation Establishment Pill. What my Cheng family lacks the least is Foundation Establishment Pills.”
Long Aotian's expression changed.
The reason why he came to Cheng Mansion alone was because the head of the Li family wanted to separate him and Qiao'er.
Long Aotian was so angry that he said confidently that he could make the Cheng family stop forcing him to get married and even treat him as a guest of honor.
Now he even offered such generous conditions as the recipe of the Foundation Establishment Pill, but the head of the Cheng family still refused to budge.
Why doesn't the Cheng family lack foundation-building pills? Aren't they a third-rate family?
Long Aotian was puzzled.
"Come here, beat this nonsense villain out with sticks." The head of the Cheng family waved his hand and said, "Send someone to report to the Li family. If there is still no explanation in two days, my Cheng family will come to force the marriage."
"Wait!" Long Aotian said again: "In addition to the Foundation Establishment Pill, I also have the recipe for the Summit Gathering Pill!!!"
Juding Dan is one of the necessary pills for a Jindan cultivator to break through to the Yuanying stage.
The head of the Cheng family was finally surprised this time, but Bai Lan's eyes lit up.
Save the file on the spot. Bai Lan pushed open the screen in front of him and strode to Long Aotian: "Good boy! I knew you must have got a lot of good things after wandering around for so many days. Come on, hand over the recipe for the Juding Pill."
Long Aotian froze as if he had been electrocuted.
He seemed to have seen a ghost, and said in a sharp voice: "You, why are you here!!!"
Bai Lan was like his lingering nightmare. He would always appear where he wanted to stand out, then press his head and push him down again and again.
"Hand it over or not? If not, I will search your soul." Bai Lan's eyes were sharp: "Hurry up."
"......You." Long Aotian was trembling all over, not because of fear, but because of anger.
He had never thought of exposing this recipe for the elixir. This elixir, which could allow a Jindan cultivator to break through to the Yuanying stage, was his trump card.
If the news gets out, it will definitely shake the world of cultivation, and even the five major sects will be jealous and fight for it.
But he couldn't accept his miserable appearance after being beaten out of Cheng Mansion with sticks, and he couldn't bear to see Qiao'er's disappointed eyes, so he gritted his teeth and revealed his trump card.
But he never expected that this woman Bai Lan would actually appear in Hongyan City!
Regret, regret it so much.
He subconsciously looked at the head of the Cheng family, but saw that the head of the Cheng family looked away with a complicated expression.
They were in the same group. When did the head of the Cheng family get involved with Bai Lan? So what he said just now also fell into Bai Lan's ears?
Long Aotian closed his eyes.
"...Okay, I'll give it to you."
