One joke from the witch, I open the gate of heaven with one sword

Chapter 24 Qingzhou wealthy family, the Sun family

"Well, this breathing method is very simple."

Chen Ci: ...

It took this girl a whole month to master this set of breathing techniques, but he, Xu Lan, has already comprehended it in just half a day?
"And I have already integrated this breathing method into the breathing method I use in my practice. It is indeed quite simple."

Chen Ci: ...

And let no one live?
"But you're still too fast"

Chen Ci was hesitant to talk, he had to practice once he mastered it. How could he be directly promoted?

"is it?"

Xu Lan rubbed his chin and said, "I have compressed the true energy in my body more than 50 times during the whole process, so I will try to compress it 99 times when I am promoted to the third level."

"how many times?"

Chen Ci thought he had heard wrong,
"More than 50 times."

Chen Ci: ...

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something but finally said nothing.

She felt that with Xu Lan's temperament, there was no need to deceive herself.

"monster."

Chen Ci silently put a label on Xu Lan. Since the establishment of the Xuanjing Division, no one has ever tried to use this breathing method to compress and temper their true energy more than ten times.

It's not that they don't want to, it's that they simply can't do it.
This process is like folding a piece of paper. Once, twice, and three times are easy, but what about the fourth, fifth, and sixth times?
The more times you temper your Qi, the more difficult it will be to temper your Qi next time.

But Xu Lan was able to use this breathing method to temper his Qi more than 50 times in just half a day. Isn’t this a monster?

"If this is the case, then your cultivation level should be comparable to that of a practitioner of the Three Realms."

Chen Ci silently calculated in his heart,
Although the strength gap between different realms is like a chasm, it is still impossible for someone to temper their true energy more than 50 times.
Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. This is a very simple truth.

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be a problem to achieve the second level of Dzogchen."

Xu Lan pretended to think for a moment before answering,
In fact, if the Tiangang Nine Swords are added, he is fully capable of seriously injuring three-level practitioners at this moment.

As for killing the cultivators of the three realms.
Xu Lan didn't have much confidence unless he could cast the fourth sword.

Now his zhenqi is only several times stronger in quality, but it is not much different from ordinary second-level practitioners in terms of quantity.

And the Tiangang Nine Swords happened to consume a huge amount of true energy
"This is already a very scary thing."

Chen Ci said: "Even the proud sons of the sects of the Great Chu Dynasty would find it difficult to fight beyond the level without the help of external forces."

The gap between the early stage of the second stage and the great perfection of the second stage is also extremely wide, just like Lin Tao at the early stage of the third stage has no power to fight back against the Chen Ci of the third stage Dzogchen.

"Cuckoo"

However, at this moment, there were voices of disappointment in the stomachs of the two of them, and Xu Lan and Chen Ci looked at each other and smiled.

It's been almost a day, and the two of them haven't eaten yet.

"Forget it, let's eat something first."

"it is good."

Since Qingluan had already made preparations, it didn't take long for a table of steaming meals to be placed in front of the two of them.

Xu Landen felt extremely hungry after not eating for a whole day.

"Did you encounter any trouble taking over the Qian family's property today?"

Xu Lan asked as he gobbled it up. Originally, he planned to take care of some things by himself today, but practice wasted too much time.

"No, there is no trouble with Madam. It is estimated that the Qian family's property will be completely reorganized in a few days."

Hong Luan said softly: "But today, many people came to submit invitations to visit. They all want to meet the young master."

"Which wealthy families in Qingzhou?"

Hearing this, Xu Lan immediately became interested. There are only five families that can be called "rich families" in Qingzhou, Zhao Fengsun and Li Wang.

Each family has hundreds of years of family heritage, and their industries spread all over every corner of Qingzhou. It is not even an exaggeration to say that these five families hold the economic lifeline of Qingzhou.

Every time every prefect comes to Qingzhou, the first thing he does is to visit the five major families. One can imagine how terrifying the influence of these five major families in Qingzhou is.

"The Zhao family, the Sun family, and the Wang family."

Hongluan took out three invitation cards of different colors and handed them to Xu Lan, saying: "I have already told them that you will only have time tomorrow."

"As I expected, it is indeed the three families of Zhao, Sun and Wang"

Xu Lan didn't feel too surprised. It was completely expected that these three families came to visit him.

Because the industries involved in the Qian family have some overlap with the main business industries of these three companies, now that the Qian family has collapsed, they are naturally thinking about how to get a piece of the pie.

"With a mere hundred years of background, I dare to be called a wealthy family."

Chen Ci on the side silently gave his own evaluation, a hundred years is only the accumulation of three generations, so is this worthy of being called a wealthy family?
So what are so many families in the Chu Dynasty that have been passed down for thousands of years?
"A place like Qingzhou is naturally inferior to Kyoto"

Xu Lan laughed dumbly, and then said: "But it's good. Now it seems that they don't dare to use some shameless methods against me or my family."

Although the Qian family is inferior to these five families in every aspect, looking at the entire Qingzhou, the Qian family can be considered prestigious.

On the other hand, Xu Lan directly wiped out the Qian family when he disagreed with each other. His method had to make the five major families vigilant.

No one wants to provoke a lunatic who destroys people everywhere at every turn,

That's right, Xu Lan is a lunatic in the eyes of the five major families in Qingzhou at this moment.

"No one in this so-called family is clean behind the scenes."

The Chen Ci on the side seemed to have unintentionally reminded that she had read the relevant information of these families before coming to Qingzhou.

It can only be described in one sentence, none of them are clean.

There was no way she could go beyond the rules and help Xu Lan in this matter, unless someone in these three families colluded with the Demon Cult.

"Well, I understand."

Xu Lan nodded and said calmly: "Business matters are naturally resolved by businessmen's methods. If someone wants to break the rules, I don't mind being a lunatic again."

After eating and drinking, the two chatted about cultivation for a while before returning to their rooms.

Xu Lan was fine, she just washed up and fell asleep.

Xu Lan got up early the next morning to practice swords as usual, and did not finish today's practice until noon.

"Sir, the Sun family has been waiting in the living room for a long time."

At this time, Hong Luan added some hot water to the wooden bucket, then continued to rub Xu Lan's shoulders and asked, "Do you want to see him now or continue to let him wait?"

"The Sun family?"

Xu Lan closed her eyes and asked, "What about the other two?"

"They came in the morning, and left when they heard that the young master would not see guests until after noon."

"Well, it seems that people from the Sun family are more sincere."

Xu Lan slowly opened her eyes, seeming to think of something and said, "If I remember correctly, the current ruler of the Sun family is a woman?"
