Chapter 363： Yan Xiaolan’s choice, Senior Cui, can you ask me?

Chapter 363 Yan Xiaolan’s choice, Senior Cui, can I ask your age (please subscribe)

“Chi Gong, please return to the tribe as soon as possible and report the matter to the divine master Xiaohanshan.”

Master Dun'er suppressed his anger and gave instructions to the Jindan monks of the same clan on the side.

Although he was still worried about the safety of the remaining icy spiritual fluid in Xiaohan Mountain at the moment, he was not reckless and went to break into Xiaohan Mountain to have a clear look.

Once this is done, the Sheri Department will truly lose the treasure of Xiaohan Mountain.

"Yes, Archmage." The Jindan of the Sheri Department named Chi Gong did not waste any time. He took the order and left, flying to Xiao Guo Haizhou.

…

the other side.

After reacting, Yan Zezhi also began to think about Wei Tu's purpose of entering Xiaohan Mountain.

From the beginning to the end, he never doubted the identity of Wei Tu's "old golden elixir". In addition to Wei Tu's disguised image, it also had a lot to do with Wei Tu's "reasonable behavior" all the time.

Whether it was staying in Xiaohan Mountain or later taking in concubines for the sake of longevity...

They all make sense.

However, when everything was a scam, Yan Zezhi had to think about why Wei Tu chose to live in Xiaohan Mountain and not leave Xiaohan Mountain in the past ten years.

“There may be a problem in Xiaohan Mountain.”

Yan Zezhi's eyes flashed, and he took the slender-eyed young man beside him and immediately flew away to Xiaohan Mountain.

With a specific goal in mind, and Xiaohanshan’s sealing formation has long been solved by Bai Zhi...

Half a day later, Yan Zezhi discovered the ice pool under Xiaohan Mountain and some of the remaining ice soul liquid in it.

“I didn’t expect that there is a cave in this place. Unfortunately, the spiritual liquid has been used up...”

Yan Zezhi looked disappointed.

It will take at least five hundred years for Xiaohan Mountain's spiritual veins to condense the amount of ice spiritual liquid required by one person.

And he obviously does not have such sufficient longevity.

Hence, this discovery is only useful to the descendants of the Yan family and does not benefit him at all.

…

“Strange, how come someone from the clan suddenly contacted me in less than two days?”

Two days later, outside Xiaohan Mountain.

Master Dun'er looked surprised and took out an ox horn magical weapon from his arms.

“I’ve met the eldest princess.”

An hour later, Master Dun'er and others greeted the arrival of Yuwen Liangu with respectful expressions on their faces.

Like Yuwen Cheng, Yuwen Liangu also belongs to the royal family of the Sheri tribe, and is honored as a secular princess.

Moreover, Yuwen Liangu and Yuwen Cheng are not far apart by blood, and they are aunt-nephew.

"I accidentally bumped into Chi Gong on the road. I already know the general details of the matter."

Yuwen Liangu, who was wearing a light blue palace dress, glanced at Master Dun'er and the three of them with her phoenix eyes, and said in a slightly cold tone.

She is indeed not in a good mood now.

In addition to the news that Yu Wencheng may be dead, it is also inseparable from the ice soul liquid in Xiaohan Mountain.

She found it hard to accept that in the eyes of Divine Master Jinxia, ​​she was so far behind her nephew Yu Wencheng. It was only today that she learned that there was ice spiritual liquid in the clan.

After all, she is the eldest disciple of Divine Master Jinxia.

“Who stole the ice soul fluid? Dun’er, do you know any specific clues?”

Yuwen Liangu asked coldly.

“Clue…”

Master Dun'er was sweating coldly, hesitating, not knowing what to say.

Previously, he thought he had the information about Wei Tu, so he ignored the crisis in Xiaohan Mountain.

However, as the two-day vanguard tried to escape, his revealed cultivation and strength were seriously inconsistent with the intelligence...

How can he still have any face now?

Report the so-called specific clues.

"This person... his name is probably a pseudonym, and he is in the late Jindan stage. If you want to track down this person, there is no other way except Yan Xiaolan..."

Master Dun'er gritted his teeth and said.

"Trash! It's just like what Chi Gong said." Yuwen Liangu snorted coldly. Without giving Dun'er any face, she flicked her jade sleeve and directly used her magic power to fly Dun'er away.

“Yes, eldest princess, it’s Dun’er’s fault…”

Master Dun'er's mouth was bleeding, and he quickly admitted his mistake, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.

In the tribe, there is a strict hierarchy.

Yuwen Liangu is not only the eldest princess, but also the eldest disciple of Divine Master Jinxia. Her status is almost the first person under the Divine Master in the Sheri Department.

Moreover, his cultivation level is also at the peak of Jindan, which is difficult for ordinary people to reach.

This time, he made a big mistake. He only received this small punishment, which was considered a mercy from Yuwen Liangu.

“The three of you, give up Xiaohan Mountain for the time being and follow me to track down Yan Xiaolan’s whereabouts..."

Yuwen Liangu narrowed her eyes slightly and gave the order.

She had a gut feeling that it was not easy for the monk to take away Xiaohanshan Bing’s soul liquid. If she kills this person, it might be a great opportunity for her.

…

Five days later.

Wei Tu, who escaped from Xiaohan Mountain, took Yan Xiaolan to Fengzhou, a border state of Xiao State.

Like Liaozhou, Fengzhou is also adjacent to foreign countries. It's just that Fengzhou is adjacent to Chu State, not Kang State.

Ten years ago, when he decided to seize the ice soul liquid, Wei Tu had already made a plan.

—After the incident was completed, he went from Fengzhou to the State of Chu, and then returned to the State of Kang by taking advantage of the cross-border trade routes between Kang and Chu.

After all, when he was in Xiaohan Mountain, the identity information he left to the Yan family of Lou Gaozong and the Sheri Department was that he was a monk from Kang State who was forced to stay in Xiao State.

In other words, if the Archery Department and the Yan family of Lou Gaozong wanted to pursue him, they would have to check the flying boat flying from Xiao to Kang.

Therefore, returning to Kang State via Chu State became the best return route for Wei Tu.

Outside the wilderness of Fengzhou, Wei Tu held two spiritual stones in his hand. After adjusting his breath and breathing for a while, he looked at Yan Xiulan, who was standing aside with a delicate look on her face, looking cute and pitiful, and frowned.

Based on his experience in the world, it is not difficult to see that Yan Xiaolan, who is following him, has now become a fatal clue for the Yan family of Lou Gaozong and the Sun Shooting Department to find him.

It can even be said that it is the only clue!

However, Wei Tu is not a ruthless person. He would not do anything cruel to Yan Xiaolan.

If this were the case, he would not take the risk to bring it out of Xiaohan Mountain and carry it with him to this day.

“Miss Yan, this is where we part.”

After the heart stone in his palm was shattered into powder, Wei Tu considered his words for a while and spoke.

"Why did Senior Cui say this?" Yan Xiaolan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and her face turned pale.

With her sharp ears, she heard the change in Wei Tu's name for her, from "Xiaolan" to "Miss Yan".

At this time, Yan Xiaolan was not worried that Wei Tu would be unfavorable to her, or that Wei Tu would be unfavorable to her. If Wei Tu was unfavorable to her, he would have taken action long ago and would not have taken her to Fengzhou.

She is worried about the future.

With the blessing of Wei Tu, with the resources at her disposal, she may not be able to prove the golden elixir path in the future.

But without the protection of Wei Tu, the possibility of proving the golden elixir would undoubtedly be much lower. "Miss Yan is a smart person, and she can also see how harmful you are to Cui by following me..." Wei Tu pointed out this matter with a cold expression.

“The Yan family or Lou Gaozong alone will not pose a threat to Senior Cui.”

Yan Xiaolan bit her lip and defended in a low voice.

Lou Gaozong was only a quasi-Nascent Soul force, and his power could not reach Fengzhou at all, and it was impossible to pose any threat to Wei Tu in the later stage of Jindan.

For this reason, she joined Wei Tu without hesitation and fled here with Wei Tu.

“If it were just Lou Gaozong, of course Cui would not be afraid, but the forces Cui provoked were not only Lou Gaozong’s family, but also Yuanying forces…”

“It’s even possible to be chased and killed by Nascent Soul himself!”

Wei Tu's tone was indifferent, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

This time, if he had not been worried about the arrival of Divine Master Jinxia, ​​he would not have been so hasty and rough when he escaped from Xiaohan Mountain.

—Almost as soon as the cleansing of the spirit body was finished, he immediately escaped without wasting any time.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for Yan Zezhi to find out when he was escaping.

“The Nascent Soul is chasing you?” Hearing this, Yan Xiaolan was almost startled, her face full of disbelief.

Yuan Ying, what kind of state is that?

She could hardly think about it.

She is the legitimate daughter of a wealthy Jindan family, and she can be considered a person of considerable knowledge, but when it comes to Yuanying monks, she feels nothing but reverence in her heart.

How dare you provoke such monks?

"Senior Cui is being chased by Yuanying. Doesn't that mean that I... am also being chased by Yuanying..."

Yan Xiaolan was a little suffocated.

However, Yan Xiaolan soon noticed something. Since Wei Tu dared to provoke the Yuan Ying Ancestor in Xiaohan Mountain and was well prepared, his strength and trump card might be far beyond what she saw...

“For late-stage Jindan monks, if they dare to do anything at the risk of provoking the Yuan Ying Ancestor, then it’s only… Yuan Ying’s opportunity…”

Yan Xiaolan secretly speculated.

In fact, she was sure of one thing at this moment: Wei Tu's age was definitely not as old as he appeared.

If his life is really about to end, even if he has the opportunity of Nascent Soul, it will be difficult to use it.

After all, a monk who is about to die of old age, whether in terms of physical body, mana, or spiritual consciousness, has declined to the lowest point of his realm, and it is difficult for him to have the basic conditions to impact the big realm.

With this speculation in mind, Yan Xiaolan quickly thought of an answer when faced with Wei Tu's words.

“Xiaolan is already Senior Cui’s concubine. Let alone facing Yuanying’s pursuit, even if she is pursued by a god, Xiaolan is willing to follow Senior Cui...forever.”

Hearing this, Wei Tu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He looked at Yan Xiaolan seriously, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Even though he knew that what Yan Xiaolan said was basically against his will, his words still made him quite satisfied.

He also likes to hear good things.

"It's okay to show loyalty, but now it's not me who has burdened you, but you who have burdened me."

Wei Tu shook his head and pointed this out mercilessly.

Yan Xiaolan was speechless. She lowered her head silently, waiting for Wei Tu's next instruction.

Seeing that Yan Xiaolan was so understanding and did not continue to argue, Wei Tu nodded secretly and knew how to measure.

He said: "I think you also know that although you and I are not mutually beneficial, it is a very beneficial thing for me to be separated from you."

“I’ll give you two choices.”

“One is to continue to maintain your status as a concubine. Cui will teach you some disguise techniques and high-level Qi refining techniques, but the price is that you have to wait in the wilderness for decades or even hundreds of years.”

“Of course, if your disguise skills improve greatly during this period, you can leave without having to wait.”

"Second, Cui will let you go free and remove the poisonous elixir from your body. You will no longer be Cui's concubine from now on. However, for your safety, Cui will still teach you some disguise techniques."

“As for whether to go or stay, it’s up to you to decide.”

Wei Tu said slowly.

Hearing this, Yan Xiaolan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Wei Tu was indeed not a heartless person, and the two choices given to her were quite good.

The first choice, to remain a concubine, seems to restrict her actions, but in fact, it is also for her safety.

The only drawback is that Wei Tu will not unlock the poisonous elixir from her body. If Wei Tu does not return to this place after a hundred years, she will have no choice but to die.

The second option, although it does not have the great benefits of becoming a concubine, it can detoxify the poisonous elixir in the body and become a free person from then on, which is also a good thing.

“Which one to choose?”

Yan Xiaolan was hesitant.

The former is a bet on Wei Tu’s future path. Once Wei Tu becomes famous, her benefits will be indispensable in the future.

Her path may involve more than just golden elixirs.

However, she had to run the risk of Wei Tu not returning to his old place and dying of poisoning.

The latter is a bet on one’s future path.

It's just... Yan Xiaolan doesn't have this confidence in her heart.

After all, the Biyan Pill is just a substitute for the Metamorphosis Pill. Having the Biyan Pill in hand does not mean that she will definitely be able to prove the Golden Pill in the future.

It’s just that there are a few more possibilities than before.

“Xiaolan chooses...the first one!”

After thinking for a long time, Yan Xiaolan finally made a choice. She bit her red lips slightly and bowed to Wei Tu.

Between herself and Wei Tu, she chose Wei Tu.

In other words, Wei Tu made this choice at the beginning when she entered Lou Gaozong.

With low qualifications, she could only go further by relying on a powerful male cultivator like Wei Tu.

Otherwise, they can only be like those female cultivators with mediocre qualifications in the clan, gradually disappearing until they die.

However, unlike when she was in Lou Gaozong, Yan Xiaolan felt that Wei Tu was not a dying old man, and she no longer felt so much rejection in her heart.

"First?"

Hearing this, Wei Tu was slightly surprised.

This was the first time he saw a monk who was willing to put his life and death in the hands of others.

Although Bai Zhi signed a master-servant soul contract with him, Bai Zhi was forced to sign it. If she didn't sign, it would be death.

Yan Xiaolan was different at this time. He gave Yan Xiaolan the right to choose freely.

“I wonder if Hyoran…can you see Senior Cui’s true appearance…No, let’s find out the specific age of Senior Cui.”

Yan Xiaolan raised her head cautiously, glanced at Wei Tu's face, and asked softly.

"age?"

Wei Tu was stunned for a while.

But soon, Wei Tu figured out the reason why Yan Xiaolan asked him about his age. He smiled and said: "Cui is more than 300 years old now, and there are still 500 years before the end of his life."

There is "Shenmu Yuan Gong", his life span is more than the 800 life span of the golden elixir.

“More than three hundred years old?”

Yan Xiaolan’s eyes widened and she looked at the old middle-aged monk in front of her with a look of disbelief on her face.

"It's over. In this life, even if I reach Jindan, I won't be able to inherit his inheritance. There is a certain possibility that he will inherit my inheritance." This thought suddenly appeared in Yan Xiaolan's heart, and she was secretly frustrated.
