Ji Lai next to him was slightly startled, obviously not expecting this woman to be so easy to talk to. Liang Yan just asked casually, and she immediately agreed.
"You didn't even ask about our cultivation and strength, so you agreed so readily?" Ji Lai couldn't help but ask.
"I admire Brother Liang's character. When he was still in the Qi refining stage, in order to save mortal lives, he did not hesitate to take risks and bravely fight against red-faced ghosts whose cultivation levels were several levels higher than his own! Xiran has been practicing Taoism for hundreds of years.
, Monks like Brother Liang are already rare, and in the entire Wushuang City territory, I am afraid that only Cang Yueming can be compared." Li Xiran said sincerely.
"real or fake?"
Ji Lai looked suspicious, turned around and looked at Liang Yan again for a while, and said with some disbelief: "We have known each other for many years, why can't I see that you are such a person?"
"Ahem!"
Liang Yan touched his nose with some embarrassment and said calmly: "It's just young and confused. There is no need to mention the old things, Fellow Daoist Li."
"That's right. It's been a hundred years since we last said goodbye. I didn't expect that you and I could make a golden elixir."
When Li Xiran said this, a look of emotion appeared on his face, and then he smiled slightly and said: "Thank you so much just now. I didn't expect that when I was in danger this time, the person who saved me would be Brother Liang."
"Hey, wait!"
Before Liang Yan could answer, Ji Lai had already shouted: "What you said is wrong. The person who saved you just now was obviously me. What does it have to do with him? If you want to thank me, you should thank me, right?"
"
"I see, you haven't asked your Taoist friend for your name yet?" Li Xiran chuckled softly.
"It's a small matter."
"It turns out to be fellow Daoist Ji. I'm Li Xiran. Thank you so much for rescuing me just now!" Li Xiran said and bowed Yingying.
"Easy to say, easy to say!" Ji Lai chuckled, seeming to find it very useful.
"Okay, don't stand here anymore, let's go into the house and talk about it later."
Liang Yan waved his hand and led the two of them into his attic. He placed multiple restrictions around the room to ensure that no one would spy on them. Then he walked to the table and poured out the food for Li Xiran and Ji Lai.
A cup of tea.
After Li Xiran drank a cup of tea, he heard Liang Yan say: "I remember that you are not from the Nanchui Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce? How come you also have business in Antarctic Xianzhou?"
"Brother Liang doesn't know that the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce is originally a cultivation force in the Antarctic Immortal Continent, and the Nanchui part is just a very small branch." Li Xiran said with a smile while sipping tea.
"oh?"
Liang Yan frowned and then asked: "Then have you heard of the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce?"
"Of course I have heard that the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce and the Luowang Chamber of Commerce are both competitors of our Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce. However, the sphere of influence of the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce is mainly distributed in the three cities of Qixing, Tianhe and Wushuang. Although our Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce is in these
There are also business exchanges in the area, but most of the time they still can't compete with the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce."
"I see."
Liang Yan nodded and said: "No wonder the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce has strict internal regulations and even sets up six flag bearers in one territory. It turns out that there is competition among the forces of this chamber of commerce!"
"That's natural. In fact, the Chamber of Commerce is, in the final analysis, a place where monks exchange knowledge and practice resources. As the saying goes, there is no circle without rules. If the internal governance of the Chamber of Commerce is not good, how can it win the trust of other monks? So for the Chamber of Commerce,
Say, sometimes reputation and reputation are more important than some short-term interests!"
When Li Xiran said this, he suddenly thought of something, and then said: "Huh? It seems that Brother Liang has already contacted the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce before?"
"good!"
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and said while recalling: "This young master of the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce is a bit mysterious. He actually deceived Liang during a secret adventure before. Although he has no ill intentions towards me, this time
He is very scheming and definitely not an easy person to get along with."
“This is weird”
After listening to Liang Yan's words, Li Xiran frowned and said: "As far as I know, the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce has been established for thousands of years. I have only heard of a mysterious president, but never heard of a young master.
"
"Huh?" Liang Yan raised his brows and couldn't help but ask, "Is this true?"
"Of course!" Li Xiran said with certainty: "It is said that the president of the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce, Shenlong, leaves all the affairs of the association to the four directors and supervisors. It can be said that these four directors and supervisors are the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce.
A powerful figure, I’ve never heard of a ‘young master’!”
When Liang Yan heard this, the expression on his face changed uncertainly. While tapping the table, he secretly thought in his heart:
"Is there any problem with Luo Xing's identity? But if he is not a powerful figure in the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce, how can he mobilize the six flag bearers? How can this person know me? He knew my whereabouts when he was in Seven Star City, and even
Send someone to escort me to Tianhe City territory?"
Since this series of questions related to himself, Liang Yan naturally would not speak out and could only keep it in his heart.
Li Xiran and Ji Lai saw that his expression was changing, and they didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, they heard Li Xiran continue to say: "If Brother Liang is interested, Xiran can secretly help him after he returns to Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce.
Check it out and see if the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce really has an extra 'young master' in the past few years."
"Okay, I'll thank you, fellow Taoist."
Liang Yan nodded slowly, then suddenly changed the topic and asked about Li Xiran's own affairs: "Aren't you from the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce? Why are you here to participate in the selection and assessment of Wushuang City this time?"
"It's not my master's order." Li Xiran sighed and said, "I don't know what my master thinks, insisting that I join Wushuang City. Moreover, he seems to have fought with a Transformation Tribulation Realm senior in Wushuang City.
Hello, let me serve for that senior when the time comes."
"Then you infiltrated into the 'Next Mountain Residence' and it was also the master's instruction?"
"That's not true." Li Xiran shook his head and said, "Mu Hanxue is despicable and cunning. She doesn't like my senior brother at all, but she deliberately seduces him with her beauty and steals an important treasure from the Chamber of Commerce when he is not prepared.
, which caused my senior brother to be punished for this. When I came to Wushuang City this time, I happened to meet this woman, so I thought about whether I could find the treasure for my senior brother, so I hid my cultivation and infiltrated the 'Next Mountain Residence'."
After hearing Li Xiran's explanation, Liang Yan couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, a monk in the Golden Core Realm, you are willing to endure the humiliation and bear the burden, pretending to be a slave and maid, and lurking in other people's houses for a hundred days. If it weren't for me,
Brother Ji and I are here to visit today, I'm afraid you will have to lurk for a while longer, right?"
"Indeed, I have to thank you two fellow Taoists." Li Xiran smiled slightly, and suddenly his eyes turned and fell on Li Xiaosong again.
"Brother Liang, you haven't answered me yet. How come Li Xiaosong followed you to Antarctica and still lives in the wooden house on your waist?"
"this"
Liang Yan looked at Li Xiaosong, who had turned into a white civet cat, and his eyes flickered slightly.
It's impossible to tell the truth to Li Xiran. You can't say that I turned your precious nephew into a spiritual beast.
Liang Yan thought for a moment and then answered: "Actually, it's a problem with the exercises Li Xiaosong practiced. He practiced the 'Sacred Fire Body Training Technique' in Yungang Sect. He can't just stay in one place to practice in seclusion, but needs to
He conquered and refined various divine fires, so he followed me out to sea and came to the Antarctic Fairy Continent."
"So that's it." Li Xiran smiled slightly and said, "Brother Liang, you also know that my nephew is a bit special, and he must have caused you a lot of trouble along the way. Now that I have met her, I plan to take her back to hear the news.
Xiang Zong, leave it to the master to train him."
"no!"
Before Li Xiran finished speaking, he was interrupted by a voice.
The one who spoke was not Liang Yan, but Li Xiaosong, who had transformed into a small white beast.
The civet cat swung its big tail, jumped out of Li Xiran's arms, and then sat on Liang Yan's shoulders again.
"Uncle, I can't follow you back. The Wenxiang Sect is too boring. Besides, I, Li Xiaosong, am a loyal person. Over the years, I have traveled around the world with the stinky-faced monster, and my cultivation level has also improved a lot.
How can you leave him alone at this time?"
"Huh?" Li Xiran blinked and looked at Li Xiaosong and Liang Yan again, as if he still couldn't believe it.
"My nephew was kidnapped by you just like that? He actually refused to return to his own sect?"
"Haha, this is Xiaosong's own choice. Fellow Daoist Li, don't force her." Liang Yan smiled slightly and didn't want to say anything more.
Li Xiran looked at Liang Yan, and then at Li Xiaosong on his shoulder. After a long while, he sighed softly, seeming to accept this fact.
"Okay, since Xiaosong is willing to follow you, then let her do it. But don't treat my nephew badly, otherwise our Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce will not let you go!" Li Xiran said half-jokingly, half-warning.
.
"Don't worry, Li Xiaosong is following me. I won't let her suffer." Liang Yan patted Li Xiaosong on the back and continued: "What else do you two want to say about this selection and assessment in Wushuang City?
Of?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Lai folded his hand and said slowly:
"According to the information I have gathered these days, the starting location of this assessment is said to be at the entrance of the canyon of the 'Fanghu Immortal Valley'. The first round of assessment should be a test of personal strength, and the second round,
The third round should be a test for the team to pass. As for the fourth round, no news has been released yet, and I don’t know what kind of assessment it is."
"'Fanghu Fairy Valley'?"
Li Xiran pondered and said: "According to rumors, it is very mysterious there. Monks in the ordinary Golden Core Realm cannot fly in the air at all. Until now, not many people know what is in the canyon."
After listening to the introductions of the two people, Liang Yan couldn't help but frowned and said slowly: "It seems that the assessment content of this Wushuang City is really confidential, and Brother Ji's intelligence can't detect much. But with two
With the strength of our team, it shouldn’t be a big problem if we pass the first round. All we need to prepare is to ensure that there is still a way for the three of us to get together if we get separated."
"This is simple, I have already prepared it!"
Ji Lai chuckled, reached out and took out three compasses from his sleeves, asked Liang Yan and Li Xiran to inject their own breath into each compass, and then gave each of them one compass.
Liang Yan reached out to take his compass, looked down and saw two pointers on it. At this time, one pointed to the direction planned, and the other pointed to Li Xiran's position.
Looking at Li Xiran again, the compass in Ji Lai's hand showed the same principle. The two pointers pointed to the direction of his teammates.
At this time, Ji Lai said: "This gadget is very useful. You have injected your breath into it just now. The pointer on it will always point to your position, and the longer the pointer, the farther the distance. Yes.
With this thing, the three of us can still know the location of our teammates no matter how far apart we are."
"good!"
Liang Yan played with the compass in his hand, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"With this thing, we won't be afraid that the three of us will get separated." Liang Yan said, putting the compass into the storage ring, and then said: "As for Fellow Daoist Li, we are already teammates. I would like to ask, do you
Can the Dragon-Tiger Fighting Technique be used at will, or are there restrictions on the use of this technique as before?"
After hearing this, Li Xiran hesitated for a while, but finally said:
"Originally, this matter involves the secrets of my skills, which I shouldn't reveal to you, but now that we have formed a team, it is not easy to hide this matter. I will tell you the truth, the magical power of the Dragon-Tiger Fighting Technique
I can only use it once every three hours. After using it, I need to adjust my breathing and my true energy, and I cannot use it again for a short period of time."
"Three hours is barely enough, but after entering the assessment this time, you should not use this magical power at will, let alone act recklessly. You must obey my command in everything." Liang Yan said thoughtfully.
The reason why he said this was because he knew Li Xiran. Although she was a woman, she was a real reckless person. If she was allowed to act recklessly during the assessment, he would have to clean up the mess for her.
Exposed his magical power.
Li Xiran also trusted Liang Yan very much. He did not show any dissatisfaction at this time. Instead, he nodded and said: "Okay, after arriving at the examination room, everything will be obeyed by Fellow Daoist Liang!"
Ji Laiye chuckled and said: "Okay, now we have added a strong support to our team. Brother Liang, your magical power is enough to rival the monks in the late Jindan period, and this fellow Daoist Li's Dragon-Tiger Fighting Technique can even suppress Mu
A master like Han Xue might be able to pass this test smoothly as expected!"
After hearing what Ji Lai said, Liang Yan and Li Xiran both smiled slightly.
"Hope everything goes well."
Liang Yan groaned, then bowed his hands towards the two of them and said, "This is the end of our discussion today. Once we have passed the first round of assessment, let's make the next step."
Thank you for the 12,000 point reward from Xiaokaikai!
