Chapter 357 Capture Xiaohan Mountain and give him a concubine (5k big chapter, please subscribe)

Saw this scene.

Yan Zezhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

He didn't think much about Wei Tu's move. He just felt that Wei Tu deliberately selected three second-level spiritual lands that did not belong to the Yan family to reject the Yan family's good intentions.

"Perhaps I pushed him too hard." Yan Zezhi thought to himself, and felt that he was too enthusiastic just now, and he was suspected of being a "flattery for nothing, a traitor or a thief."

"Fellow Daoist Cui, these three spiritual places are not owned by the Yan family. They already have owners, so it's not easy to deal with."

Yan Zezhi reminded.

In a word, he could still make the decision to let Wei Tu temporarily stay in the Yan family's spiritual place, but he did not have the ability to do so in the other Lou Gaozong family's spiritual places.

"Elder Yan, don't worry about this. Cui has very little financial resources and may not be able to rent a third-level spiritual land, but a second-level spiritual land is easy to do."

Wei Tu smiled slightly when he heard this.

After hearing Wei Tu's words, Yan Zezhi, who still wanted to persuade, no longer had any reason to persuade. He shrugged his throat and swallowed the words in his mouth.

When Wei Tu joined Lou Gaozong before, he allocated a cave for free to Wei Tu, the guest elder, on behalf of the sect, so he had room to intervene.

Now, Wei Tu has offered to rent the cave and is willing to bear the rent himself.

It would be inappropriate for him to try to persuade me with a shy face.

"But it's not a big deal if you don't live in the Yan family cave. If you want to seize Cui's inheritance, there is more than one way..." Yan Zezhi narrowed his eyes and started from the heart.

——Moving into the Yan family cave means that Wei Tu becomes half of the Yan family. Once Wei Tu's life is over, the Yan family will have legitimate reasons to take care of Wei Tu's inheritance.

Of course, on the surface, Yan Zezhi did not reveal his ambitions. He smiled and complimented Wei Tu a few times, and guaranteed that he would become a lobbyist and help Wei Tu successfully rent any of the three spiritual lands.

……

The three second-level spiritual lands that Wei Tu was interested in were named Xiaohan Mountain, Luoxia Stream, and Chitapo.

After letting Wei Tu temporarily stay in Lou Gaozong's Yingbin Hall, Yan Zezhi immediately arranged for his nephew Yan Zhenping to negotiate with the owners of the three spiritual places to buy or sell the ownership rights of the spiritual places under his name.

Pick out the soft persimmons and pinch them.

Yan Zhenping focused on Xiaohanshan.

Different from Xiaohan Mountain, the two second-level spiritual lands of Luoxia Stream and Chitapo belong to the Li family and the Song family respectively, which have equal status to the Yan family.

Although these two families are not mortal enemies of the Yan family within the Lou Gaozong, the three parties are related to each other by marriage. But Yan Zezhi's uncle and nephew... were worried that the Li family and the Song family wanted to get a share of Wei Tu's inheritance, so they deliberately avoided the Song and Li families when arranging the matter.

The Xiaohan Mountain is different. Although it is a spiritual land leased by the Archery Department thousands of years ago, on the surface, the power in charge of the Xiaohan Mountain is only a small foundation-building family named "Bian".

With the prestige of the Yan family, it is not difficult for a small foundation-building family to give up the title deed to Xiaohan Mountain and get out as soon as possible.

Yan Zhenping acted vigorously and resolutely. He flew to Xiaohan Mountain that afternoon and informed the head of the Bian family to abandon the clan territory and move away immediately within seven days.

"According to the spiritual contract of that year, our building, Gaozong, has the right to unilaterally terminate the lease."

"However, Lou Gaozong is not unreasonable. This is five thousand spirit stones, which is enough to compensate the Bian family for their losses."

After saying this, Yan Zhenping's face turned cold. He did not listen to the plea of ​​the head of the Bian family. After placing a spirit stone bag on the family affairs hall, he flicked his sleeves and left directly.

This move completely alarmed the Jindan Zhenjun of the Shooting Sun Department who was hidden in Xiaohan Mountain.

"Xiaohan Mountain is remote and the spiritual things it produces are poor. Thousands of years have passed and Lou Gaozong has not taken back this spiritual land. Why is it suddenly anxious to take back the land deed and no longer perform the lease?"

"The Yan family is so anxious. Could it be that they have discovered the ice soul liquid underground?"

"Impossible! The name of the Bian family is the Bian family, but it is actually our Yuwen royal family, so it is impossible to leak the secret. Besides, among the Bian family monks, except for the clan leader Bian Sheng, no one knows that there is a cave under the Xiaohan Mountain..."

The three True Lords of the Shooting Sun Department all had expressions of confusion on their faces and communicated with each other with their spiritual consciousness.

After all, Xiaohan Mountain is not a feng shui treasure on the surface, so there is no reason for it to be remembered.

"Let Bian Sheng go to Lou Gaozong to inquire about it first. If the secret is really leaked, you and I will discuss it later."

Finally, a burly man with a golden crow tattoo on his face glanced at the two true kings of the same race sitting opposite each other and made a preliminary decision.

Xiaohan Mountain is located in Caozhou of the Xiao State, not the territory of the Sheri Department of the Kang State. Until the last moment, he did not want to use force and forcefully occupy this place.

He prefers to follow the official process.

Two days later, the head of the Bian family named Bian Sheng came to report and explained the reason why the Yan family "occupied" Xiaohan Mountain.

——Under the thousand-year layout, the Sun Shooting Department naturally placed some traitors in Lou Gao Sect to ensure that there would be no unexpected changes in this treasured land of Xiaohan Mountain.

As for Wei Tu becoming the guest elder of Lou Gaozong, it is not a top secret within Lou Gaozong.

"The old man Jin Dan, who is nearing his longevity, wants to rent Xiaohan Mountain as a temporary cave..."

Hearing this reason, the three True Lords of the Shooting Sun Department all breathed a sigh of relief.

This kind of business behavior under normal order appeared from time to time during the millennium when the Archery Department occupied Xiaohan Mountain.

It's just because the traders are not at a high level and are all at the foundation-building level. They can be resolved one by one with just the Bian family's intervention, so until now, there hasn't been any trouble.

Wei Tu, who wanted to rent Xiaohan Mountain, was no different from the previous traders. However, because his realm was a golden elixir and he persuaded the Yan family to intervene, this made the matter a little more complicated.

"Master Dun'er, what should we do now?"

Bian Sheng bowed and asked the burly man with a golden crow tattoo who was sitting cross-legged on the underground altar.

The Bian family is only a foundation-building family and is not yet able to refuse the Yan family's request.

"I am dying of old age..." Master Dun'er pondered for a while.

With the strength of the three of them, it is not difficult to destroy the Yan family of Lou Gaozong or kill "Wei Tu".

But in this case, Xiaohan Mountain will inevitably arouse the suspicion of Xiao Kingdom forces. It is only a matter of time before the ice soul liquid is exposed.

However, if you want to occupy Xiaohan Mountain reasonably and legally now, it is undoubtedly a fantasy and almost impossible to achieve based on the strength of the Bian family.

"The ice soul liquid is located under the Xiaohan Mountain. Except for monks with spiritual pupil magic, who can find some clues, it is difficult for other monks to notice it."

"People named Cui don't live long..."

"In this case... Bian Sheng, you promise the Yan family to give up Xiaohan Mountain, and we will seal the ice soul fluid and redeem it after Cui's life is over."

Master Dun'er thought for a moment and made what he thought was the most appropriate decision.

After all, the icy soul liquid under Xiaohan Mountain has existed for thousands of years.

During this period of time, none of the ancestors of Lou Gaozong discovered it. How could a golden elixir master who was about to expire have the means to discover the anomalies in Xiaohan Mountain?

Hearing this, a fellow Jindan next to Master Dun'er seemed to have thought of some questions. He opened his mouth and wanted to speak out, but when the words reached his throat, he swallowed them hard.

If you want to protect the interests of Xiaohan Mountain, Master Dun'er's approach is perfect, but with a few additions, there will be a more perfect plan.

That is, while sealing the underground "Ice Soul Liquid", the three of them left one or two people behind to stay near the "Ice Soul Liquid"...

In this way, even if the "Wei Tu" finds any clues, they can remedy it in time.

However, without the nourishment of spiritual energy, staying here for decades would undoubtedly be torture and a waste of life.

——There are a lot of spiritual energy in Lingdi. Once you steal the spiritual energy underground, you will not only be easily discovered by others, but also your whereabouts will be exposed easily.

Decades are neither long nor short, and it is not worth wasting your life on this "little thing".

……

the other side.

Wei Tu was waiting for the good news in Gao Zongjing upstairs.

This time, the reason why he chose Yan Zezhi's uncle and nephew as his introducer to Lou Gaozong was because of their selfishness.

Inheritance after death, Jade Flame Pill...

Both of these are bargaining chips for him to attract his uncles and nephews from the Yan family to help him, so he doesn't have to worry about them not trying their best.

The special nature of Xiaohan Mountain was learned after he searched the soul of Yu Wencheng.

Therefore, as long as his means of seizing Xiaohan Mountain are normal and reasonable, there will be no suspicion.

Seven days passed by in a flash.

The day has come for Yan Zhenping to issue an ultimatum to the Bian family in Xiaohanshan.

"Fortunately, the Bian family has moved away from Xiaohan Mountain and given up this geomantic treasure."

Yan Zezhi's uncle and nephew came with gifts to congratulate Wei Tu on his new move.

Wei Tu noticed that beside Yan Zhenping, there was also an elegant young female nun wearing a red palace dress.

Its realm is the early stage of foundation building.

"Who is this?" Wei Tu had a slight guess, and he followed the thoughts of Yan Zezhi's uncle and nephew and asked.

"Back to Senior Cui, this is the junior's daughter. Her name is Yan Xiaolan. She has a kind personality and knows how to take care of the monks best."

Yan Zhenping stroked his beard and said with a smile. The words fell.

Yan Xiaolan lifted her palace skirt, stepped forward, bowed to Wei Tu and said, "I have met Elder Cui."

While giving the gift, Yan Xiaolan looked at the middle-aged monk with sallow skin and average face in front of her. Although she felt repulsion and disgust in her heart, thinking of Wei Tu's legacy after his death, a friendly smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Fellow Daoist Cui came to our sect for the first time, and he didn't bring any family members or trusted people with him. Xiaohan Mountain Cave House is quite big... My great nephew is very good at taking care of internal affairs. If Friend Cui doesn't dislike it, I can drive him..."

Yan Zezhi had been staring at Wei Tu's expression from the corner of his eye. When he saw the look of surprise in his eyes when he saw Yan Xiaolan, he immediately knew it and said with a smile.

After all, Yan Xiaolan is the female cultivator with the most outstanding looks in their Yan family.

"This matter..." Wei Tu looked hesitant, as if he was considering whether to agree to this matter.

"Forget it! The Yan family helped Cui come here, took advantage of the favor, and took over the spiritual land of Xiaohan Mountain... Cui had no choice but to agree to Elder Yan's invitation."

Wei Tu pondered for a moment, and when he said this, he looked like he was getting an advantage and was being obedient.

Seeing this, Yan Xiaolan felt contempt, thinking that Wei Tu was obviously lusting after women, but he said one thing and did another.

However, even though she thought so in her heart, Yan Xiaolan walked up behind Wei Tu without any hindrance, and gently held Wei Tu's slightly skinny waxy palm with her jade hand.

Seeing this scene, Yan Zhenping couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face. After all, the female cultivator in front of him was his daughter.

Now, he was forced to serve Wei Tu, the old golden elixir, for the sake of his inheritance after death... He couldn't help but feel a little humiliated.

"Forget it! If the person named Cui is addicted to women, his body will not last long and he will die sooner." A glimmer of light flashed in Yan Zhenping's eyes, thinking of his own wishful thinking.

Today, I sacrifice my daughter.

Tomorrow, he can legitimately inherit Wei Tu's inheritance after his death in the name of his daughter's concubine.

No one can find fault.

……

Half a day later.

Accompanied by Yan Zezhi's uncle and nephew, Wei Tu and Yan Xiaolan moved into Xiaohan Mountain together.

There is Yan Xiaolan's name.

Taking the opportunity, Yan Zezhi's uncle and nephew stuffed some Yan family slaves into Xiaohan Mountain to serve Wei Tu.

Of course, the greater role of these Yan family slaves is to act as traitors, keeping an eye on Wei Tu's every move to prevent the rich man from escaping.

"The slave family..."

Xiaohan Cave Mansion, in the bedroom. Yan Xiaolan sat on the warm bed with a shy face, waiting for the arrival of Wei Tu, the old golden elixir, so that she could fulfill her role as a concubine.

Unexpectedly, when Wei Tu entered the room, he looked different from his previous lecherous appearance. He frowned slightly. After looking at Yan Xiaolan for a few times, he left the bedroom with a flick of his sleeves and went to the alchemy room on the side.

He only left a cold word.

"Cui understands the thoughts of the Yan family. If it is really difficult to return to Kang State in this life, Cui's legacy will be left to the Yan family."

Hearing this, Yan Xiaolan's pretty face suddenly turned pale, and she sat on the warm bed, at a loss.

The Yan family sent her to Xiaohan Mountain for the purpose of becoming husband and wife with Wei Tu. After Wei Tu's death, she could use her own identity to embezzle Wei Tu's inheritance.

Now, Wei Tu is unhappy with her...

This meant that her mission had failed from the very beginning.

"Sure enough, this old man is not stupid. He knows that the Yan family is trying to seize his inheritance."

Yan Xiaolan cursed secretly.

However, no matter how much she scolded Wei Tu, Yan Xiaolan could not change her current situation. She was pacing back and forth in the bedroom, anxious.

Her relationship with Wei Tu has not progressed. Even if the Yan family monks listen to her explanation, what happens next?

Obviously, the Yan family would not blame Wei Tu, the old Jin Dan, for being one thing on the outside but another behind the scenes. They would only blame her for not serving Wei Tu well and not doing her best, which is why Wei Tu did not sleep with her...

In a word.

Her status is too low!

Whether in front of Wei Tu or in front of the family, she is always passive.

"Elixir?" At this moment, Yan Xiaolan suddenly smelled the fragrance of elixir coming from outside the door, which was refreshing.

Under the fragrance of elixir, her state of mind also relaxed slightly.

"I'm very lucky today. I got four pills. I'll give you this chalcedony pill."

Suddenly, Wei Tu's voice came to Yan Xiaolan's ears. She looked up and saw a green mana carrying a jade pill rushing towards her.

The next moment, the Jade Pill fell steadily into Yan Xiaolan's palm.

"Thank you, Senior Cui." Yan Xiaolan was immediately overjoyed when she saw this pill, and thanked him.

Chalcedony Pill is a second-level low-grade elixir, one pill is worth seven hundred spirit stones. With her status, if she wanted to obtain such elixirs in her family, it would take at least ten years of contribution points.

But today, she just met Wei Tu, and Wei Tu casually gave her this gift.

The difference was so big that Yan Xiaolan was in a trance.

At this time, Yan Xiaolan couldn't help but have another idea in her heart: to seek refuge in Wei Tu and obtain greater benefits.

……

Next door, indoors.

When Wei Tu saw Yan Xiaolan's expression, a faint smile appeared on his face, as well as some sarcasm.

"Fellow Daoist Wei's judgment is really accurate. After Yan Xiaolan received a small favor from you, she really changed her mind..." Bai Zhi smiled slightly and chatted with Wei Tu casually.

"Whether she really changes or not depends on how she behaves in the future. The Yan family is not my enemy. Otherwise, it is feasible to use colorful phantom moths to hypnotize you, or to use your "demon parasitism technique", and it is even more feasible. It’s more convenient…”

Wei Tu shook his head and said.

Letting Yan Xiaolan enter Xiaohan Mountain was just a deliberate move by him to dispel the suspicions of the Yan family, Master Dun'er and others.

After all, it is better to clear things up than to block them.

However, Yan Xiaolan becoming his concubine was a troublesome matter after all.

At other times, he wouldn't mind practicing double cultivation with a beautiful woman. For example, Qi Feng back then.

However, now that he has lost his essence and blood, if he continues to practice dual cultivation... and his body refining and cultivation are restored, he will not know what happened in the year of the monkey.

In addition, he is only using a false identity at the moment, and it is also inappropriate to use this false identity to take in concubines.

the last point.

Yan Xiaolan and Qi Feng were different in the end. Yan Xiaolan came here to covet his inheritance after his death, while Qi Feng wanted to use his strength to protect her so that she could practice with peace of mind.

It is not a good thing for him to take a female cultivator like Yan Xiaolan with ulterior motives as a concubine.

"Yan Xiaolan, a girl who is willing to become your concubine for profit, can naturally betray the family for profit."

Bai Zhi understood human nature well and said.

"Okay, Fellow Daoist Bai, let's not mention Yan Xiaolan's matter. We came to Xiaohan Mountain not for a concubine, but for the ice soul liquid underground."

Wei Tu waved his hand and immediately interrupted Bai Zhi, indicating that it was time to get down to business.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Wei."

Bai Zhi was not annoyed, she rolled her eyes secretly, and after asking for Wei Tu's Taimiao Mirror, she turned into a black ghostly aura and went to explore the underground of the cave.

It took about half a day to wait.

The ghostly aura transformed from Bai Zhi emerged from the gaps in the alchemy room floor in wisps.

"The underground of Xiaohan Mountain has been sealed by the great mages of the Sun Shooting Department. However, the good news is that there are no monks stationed underground." After Bai Zhi's ghost body regrouped, he informed Wei Tu one by one.

"It's just that this time is different from Silver Moon Pond. The underground formation in Xiaohan Mountain is too profound. It will take at least a month and a half before I can open it."

Bai Zhi added.

"Half a month?" Wei Tu was secretly surprised.

You know, Bai Zhi is a third-level high-grade formation mage, and she has the most forbidden treasure of Tai Miao Bao Mirror in her hand. Basically, the third level formation can be broken almost overnight.

"The Shooting Sun Division is worthy of being a Nascent Soul force."

Wei Tu thought.

He estimated that the sealing formations under Xiaohan Mountain were most likely arranged by Master Jinxia himself. Otherwise, the Archmage Dun'er alone would not have the ability to deploy such a profound formation.

However, this also explains why Archmage Dun'er and others were so confident that after retreating, no one was left to guard the "ice soul liquid" under Xiaohan Mountain.
