Far in the sky, close in sight

Jiang Feng didn’t know what Lan Ruoxi was thinking.

However, when he heard the figure of 300,000, he couldn’t help but gasped.

Three hundred thousand low-grade spirit crystals, enough for him to practice for how long!

At least it is enough for him to cultivate to the late stage of Nascent Soul Realm.

But Jiang Feng didn’t rush to agree, but asked Lan Ruoxi to talk about their current situation.

After all, she also said that this spirit crystal can only be obtained after the matter is completed.

But if the task is too difficult and there is a great possibility of failure, then Jiang Feng would rather give up.

Soon, Lan Ruoxi described the current situation of the Lan family and their siblings in simple words.

Just as Jiang Feng guessed, Lan Ruoxi and Lan Hao’s status in the Lan family is already very low.

So low that some servants dare to directly bully them.

If it weren’t for the fact that some family elders would still protect them for the sake of their father, the siblings probably wouldn’t be able to stay any longer.

The current situation of the Lan family is that the head of the Lan family has passed away, and the Lan family cannot live without a head for a day, so a new head of the family must be elected as soon as possible.

Logically speaking, Lan Ruoxi’s father had a son before his death, so his son should inherit the position of Patriarch.

Section 336

That is Lan Ruoxi’s younger brother Lan Hao.

But at this time, people from Lan Ruoxi’s second uncle came out to act as demons.

According to their explanation, Lan Hao is too young to be in charge of such a large Lan family.

So he wanted to stand up to replace Lan Hao and be the head of the Lan family.

Moreover, they also gave a very shameless statement.

“We are only temporarily helping Xiaohao take charge of the Lan Family. When he grows up, we will naturally return the position of Patriarch to him.”

These are the original words of the second master of the Lan family.

But all fools know that once he is allowed to sit on the position of Patriarch, there will definitely be nothing wrong with Lan Hao.

Even, the second master of the Lan family might think of a way to kill Lan Hao before he grows up.

That’s why Lan Ruoxi felt that Lan Hao must be the head of the family no matter what, not only for power, but also for Lan Hao’s safety.

If Lan Hao became the Patriarch, then naturally there would be no danger.

After all, assassinating the head of the family is a serious crime. Not only will he be punished by the family, but he will also be directly condemned by Floating Cloud City.

The senior members of the Lan family were divided into two factions regarding this matter.

Conservatives believe that the succession of the father to the son takes precedence over the brother to the younger brother. This has been the rule since ancient times, so the position of the head of the family must be inherited by Lan Hao.

But the other faction felt that the second master of the Lan family was also of the direct line of the Lan family and was fully qualified to inherit the position of head of the family.

Moreover, Lan Hao is too young, and his cultivation talent is not as good as Lan Yu’s.

Lan Yu should inherit the position of Patriarch.

in PengIn Laixian Island, the strong are respected, and the position of Patriarch should naturally be inherited by those with stronger talents, so as to lead the family to prosperity.

So, under the endless disputes between the two factions, they finally took a step back and made a decision.

That is to hold a family competition, so that the younger generations of the two families, Lan Yu and Lan Hao, can compete. Whoever wins can inherit the position of the family head.

“So, what do you want me to do? Kill Lan Yu so that he can’t participate in the competition?”

Jiang Feng asked.

Lan Ruoxi shook her head again and again.

“You can’t do this, not to mention that there are many strong people in the Lan family, whether you can succeed, even if you can, but in this critical period, neither Lan Yu nor Xiao Hao can have an accident.”

“Once something happens to anyone, the other will be under suspicion.”

“Then what can I do?”

Lan Ruoxi explained.

“I’m worried about two aspects. First, Lan Yu and the others will make some small moves during the competition. Second, if Xiao Hao wins, I’m afraid they will jump the wall and attack Xiao Hao.”

“So, I hope you can stay at Lan’s house these two days to protect Xiao Hao. On the day of the competition, if the other party does something unfavorable, you can also stop them.”

After listening to Lan Ruoxi’s words, Jiang Feng felt that this was not a troublesome matter.

His mission is actually to protect Lan Hao.

Although the current situation of Lan Hao and Lan Ruoxi is not very good, they still have supporters in the Lan family.

So when he helps them, it doesn’t count as an enemy of the entire Lan family.

but……

“Protecting your brother is naturally not a problem, but are you sure your brother can really win?”

“It’s not me hitting you. If I’m not wrong, the person you called cousin just now is Lan Yu. He has the cultivation base of the early stage of Golden Core Realm, while your younger brother only has the cultivation base of the late foundation establishment stage.”

“Leapfrog fighting is no easy task.”

Jiang Feng frowned and said.

For him, leapfrog fighting is naturally not difficult.

But he is completely an exception. With the golden finger of the system, it is really strange that he cannot leapfrog the battle.

But Lan Hao looks like he should be a normal foundation-building monk.

Normally, there is an insurmountable barrier between the late stage of foundation establishment and the early stage of Jindan.

A monk at the early stage of Jindan can easily beat ten monks at the late stage of foundation establishment.

“I can’t guarantee it, but I found chalcedony. This elixir is of great help to monks in the foundation period. It should help Xiaohao reach the peak cultivation level of the foundation period before the competition.”

“If the opponent doesn’t play tricks, Xiao Hao still has a slight chance of winning.”

Lan Ruoxi quickly explained.

When she appeared outside the city before, she heard that there was chalcedony lucidum outside the city, so she brought someone to help Lan Hao find the elixir.

Unexpectedly, when returning from collecting herbs, they encountered the man in black.

If Jiang Feng hadn’t appeared, they would have died.

“Foundation peak?”

Jiang Feng shook his head. Even if he was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, unless he mastered some powerful means, it would be very difficult for him to leapfrog a level and defeat the early Golden Core cultivators.

But he didn’t hit Lan Ruoxi again.

“Forget it, for the sake of the 300,000 spirit crystals, let’s help them again.”

Jiang Feng thought to himself, and then asked Lan Ruoxi to show him Chalcedony.

Lan Ruoxi did not hesitate, and directly took out the jade box containing chalcedony.

Jiang Feng opened the jade box and saw that there was indeed chalcedony inside.

Chalcedony Mushroom is indeed helpful for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage to improve their cultivation, because it is one of the main medicines for refining Juling Pill.

However, if you just eat this chalcedony lucidum alone, the effect will not be great.

A lot of energy would be wasted, and it might not even help Lan Hao reach the peak of the foundation-building period.

It must be refined into a spirit-gathering pill.

Jiang Feng told Lan Ruoxi these words, and the latter’s face immediately changed.

After all, she found this after a lot of hard work.

“There are a few alchemists in Floating Cloud City, but they charge very high fees. Given our current situation, we simply can’t afford to hire them.”

Lan Ruoxi looked anxious, and her original confidence immediately dropped a lot.

Jiang Feng smiled slightly and said.

“Why bother to invite alchemists, you have one here.”

“Ah? Where?”

Lan Ruoxi didn’t react for a while, and asked subconsciously.

Jiang Feng pointed to himself.

“It’s far away in the sky, but it’s close in front of you.”
