Chapter 198: Meet Lu Ran Again, Shocking Secrets [Subscribe]

Accompanying Taoist Mingxia, Zhou Chun once again embarked on the journey to Longyuanze.

In fact, when Qing Weizi decided to let Taoist Mingxia accompany him to Longyuanze, he also took the opportunity to ask about the route he took to escape.

Zhou Chun naturally would not reveal the secret passage of the underground river. He only said that it took a detour from the wilderness to Jingguo.

Although the Hualong Sect has established many strongholds near the border of Yunzhou, the area connecting the wilderness and Jingguo is so large that it is impossible to block it.

So Qing Weizi was somewhat curious about how Zhou Chun escaped back to Lanzhou despite being poisoned, but since she needed him, she did not get to the bottom of his secret.

No matter how hard Qing Weizi tried, she could never imagine that there was an underground river in Lanzhou that led directly to Longyuanze!

At this time Zhou Chun and Taoist Mingxia went to Longyuanze again, but they went to the Biyanze side.

The other side of Bi Yan Ze is also a wilderness. Although it is a bit far from Long Yuan Ze, it can bypass the heavy troops of Hualong Sect on the border of Yunzhou, making it more suitable for the two of them to pass through.

And with Taoist Mingxia, who was holding a fake magic weapon, escorting him, nothing would happen to Zhou Chun along the way.

The two of them traveled in the wilderness for about six or seven days before arriving at the vast and blue Longyuan Lake.

Then, under the leadership of Zhou Chun, the two walked around the waterside and it took them another two days to reach the site of the Black Spear Tribe.

Fortunately, Taoist Mingxia borrowed a third-rank medium-grade monster, the Wind-Thunder Leopard, from an elder cultivator in the sect to use as a mount in order to facilitate his journey.

Otherwise, after such a long journey with no place to get supplies, I would have to bring dozens or even hundreds of pills just to restore my mana!

When Zhou Chun arrived at the former site of the Black Spear Tribe, his expression changed slightly as he looked at the mountain wall that had been cut in half with a huge gap blasted out.

Then he pointed to the gap and said to Taoist Mingxia beside him: "That is the old site of the Black Spear Tribe. It used to be a complete mountain wall, but now it has become like this!"

"To be able to cause such great damage with one strike, it must be the work of a Jindan-stage cultivator!"

Taoist Mingxia's gaze lingered on the gap for a while, and he expressed his opinion in a deep voice.

When she said this, Zhou Chun instantly thought of Li Tianxing, the leader of the Golden Dragon Hall, and knew that it was most likely that the other party had done it himself.

Taoist Mingxia also quickly looked at him and said, "Didn't Daoist Brother Lu, who possessed the body of the alien scaly frog, say that he would arrange for someone to come and wait for you every day? Daoist Brother Zhou, go out and give it a try now!"

"Junior, I obey."

Zhou Chun responded and immediately took off into the air, flying over the former site of the Black Spear Tribe.

Then he looked around, looking down at the water below and the surrounding mountains and forests, trying to find the figure of the scaly frog alien arranged by Lu Ran.

Unfortunately, after looking for a long time, he still found nothing.

Finally, he could only fall back to Taoist Mingxia and sighed, "It's possible that Senior Lu is out of control. If so, I'm afraid we'll have to wait in this wilderness for quite some time!"

Upon hearing this, Taoist Mingxia said calmly, "It doesn't matter. As long as the person you are talking about really exists, it won't be a problem even if you wait for two or three years."

It was not difficult to hear from her words that Qinglian Temple still had doubts about whether Lu Ran, as mentioned by Zhou Chun, existed and did not fully believe it.

But Zhou Chun had a clear conscience, so after hearing her words, he just remained silent.

In the following time, Zhou Chun would fly into the air every day to expose himself so that the scaly frog aliens arranged by Lu Ran could see him.

The rest of the time he and Taoist Mingxia hid in a cave in the mountain, reading books and playing with animals to pass the time.

Fortunately, before going out this time, Zhou Chun anticipated that it might be boring, so he brought a lot of classics from the Zhou family library.

At this time, with Taoist Mingxia watching him, he could neither meditate nor practice secret techniques, so he could only read books.

Zhou Chun carried with him everything from the records of various elixirs, minerals, rare animals, to the basic introductory books on the four cultivation techniques of refining instruments, refining pills, making talismans, and setting up formations.

Time passed slowly, and soon Zhou Chun and Taoist Mingxia had been staying by the Longyuan Lake for a year and a half.

During this year and a half, Lu Ran never came to visit, but Zhou Chun spotted the alien scaly frogs coming over several times.

During this time, he also captured a scaly frog alien and stuffed a letter he wrote into it, hoping that it could bring the letter to Lu Ran.

But unfortunately, even so, there was still no reply from Lu Ran.

This made him realize that Lu Ran was most likely really out of control and it would be difficult for him to come and meet him in a short period of time.

Fortunately, with the captured scaly frog as evidence, Taoist Mingxia seemed to believe in Lu Ran's existence, and he appeared very patient while waiting.

The result was that during this year and a half, although Zhou Chun did not make any progress in his cultivation and secret techniques, he read a lot of books and gained a lot of knowledge.

Moreover, during this year and a half, the golden-winged tiger, this spiritual pet, has been well fed and nurtured, and not only has its size grown rapidly, but its cultivation has also been improved to the first-level intermediate level, comparable to that of a fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator.

At this time, the golden-winged tiger could barely serve as a flying pet to carry Zhou Chun on trips.

After the Silver Lightning Thunder Python took several Demon Spirit Pills in vain, its growth rate was significantly accelerated. Zhou Chun felt that if he could continue to feed it Demon Spirit Pills, it would definitely reach the second-level intermediate grade earlier than himself.

So Zhou Chun has not been without gain in the past year and a half.

On this day, when Zhou Chun once again showed up above the former site of the Black Spear Tribe, a scaly frog alien warlock soon emerged from underwater and croaked at him.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chun was instantly delighted and quickly flew down to make contact with the other party.

As a result, the alien frog warlock just threw a jade slip to him, then dived directly into the water and disappeared in an instant.

This is……

Zhou Chun looked at the jade slip in his hand, his eyes flickering and hesitating for a while, but he still suppressed his inner doubts. He did not check it immediately, but put it away and flew to the shore.

Taoist Mingxia, who was observing secretly, saw this scene and nodded secretly, feeling satisfied with Zhou Chun's tactfulness.

Soon she took the jade slip from Zhou Chun and carefully read the information inside.

Then Zhou Chun saw her face change drastically and became gloomy.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, she finally took a deep breath and adjusted her emotional state.

Then he handed the jade slip in his hand to Zhou Chun and said, "Take a look for yourself!"

Zhou Chun was already very curious about the contents inside, so he didn't bother to be polite. He just responded and took the jade slip to check it out.

After seeing this, he quickly understood why Taoist Mingxia had such an ugly expression on his face before.

It turned out that Lu Ran had somehow discovered the existence of Taoist Mingxia, and then sternly warned Taoist Mingxia in the letter that if he wanted to complete the transaction, he had to transfer the transaction through Zhou Chun as the middleman, otherwise he would never appear within Taoist Mingxia's perception range.

Obviously, Lu Ran did not believe that Qinglian Temple would trade with him, a former guardian of Hualong Sect, on an equal footing. He was worried that after meeting Taoist Mingxia, he would be captured and taken back to Qinglian Temple by the other party.

But this way, Zhou Chun felt very comfortable. Once Qinglian Temple could not directly contact Lu Ran, he, as the middleman, could do a lot more, and he didn't have to worry about Qinglian Temple getting rid of him!
Of course, no matter how happy he was in his heart, he dared not show it on his face.

Instead, his expression changed slightly as he hurriedly explained to Taoist Mingxia: "Senior Mingxia, please understand, I have never revealed your existence at all. This matter has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

"You don't need to explain anything. I know all of this."

Taoist Mingxia waved his hands to indicate that he did not doubt him.

Then he said in a low voice: "But I am also very confused. How did that guy find me? With his ability, there is no way he could have discovered my existence when I was hiding my aura with the Heavenly Beads!"

The "Heaven-covering Pearl" she mentioned was the secret treasure that Qing Weizi had mentioned before that could conceal auras. It was a very precious third-grade, top-grade magical weapon.

It is said that this treasure's aura concealing effect is so great that it can even deceive ordinary Jindan-stage cultivators.

Zhou Chun and she were able to travel through the wilderness without any obstacles, and this treasure played an indispensable role in this.

During this year and a half, she has been using this magical weapon to conceal Zhou Chun and her own aura.

But no matter how many doubts she had in her heart at this moment, she could not change the established facts.

Lu Ran’s refusal to see her meant that Qing Weizi’s expected best outcome could not be achieved.

If he still wanted to obtain more secrets of the Dragon Transformation Sect from Lu Ran, he had to start another plan.

After she pondered for a while, she took out a few things and handed them to Zhou Chun.

"This jade slip contains a secret technique to alleviate the difficulties encountered by fellow Daoist Lu. The elixir in the elixir bottle can also help him wake up when he loses control."

"This magical instrument is called the Mysterious Light Mirror. When you are talking to Lu Ran, hold it up and place it around you. This way, it will be able to record the scenes and content of your conversation."

"This talisman is a third-grade superior defensive talisman. If Lu Ran wants to attack you, you can use it to protect yourself. I will come to rescue you immediately!"

Taoist Mingxia handed several items to Zhou Chun and explained their uses.

Obviously, this was all planned in advance.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun also quickly responded with a serious face: "Please rest assured, senior, I will strictly follow your instructions."

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, I am naturally relieved when you do your job."

Taoist Mingxia looked at him deeply and smiled faintly.

After that, Zhou Chun briefly practiced the Xuanguan Liuying Mirror magic weapon, then left the cave alone and went to the sky above Longyuan Lake outside.

There, a second-level alien scaly frog warlock had been waiting for him for a long time.

At this time, under the guidance of the second-level Scaled Frog alien warlock, he headed directly towards the depths of Longyuanze.

It seems that Lu Ran chose to set the meeting and transaction location deep in Longyuanze.

When Taoist Mingxia saw this scene from afar, his face became slightly gloomy.

Furthermore, after Zhou Chun followed the second-level Scaled Frog alien warlock deep into Longyuan Lake for hundreds of miles, the other party suddenly changed direction and moved sideways.

This made his expression slightly tense, as if he realized something.

Sure enough, he was then taken by the second-level scaly frog alien and moved horizontally for thousands of miles, during which time he was attacked by second-level monsters many times.

But this time he even brought out the Golden-Armored Rock Turtle, so a mere second-level monster was naturally no match for him.

After many battles along the way, Zhou Chun finally met Lu Ran on another island.

This island is much smaller than the one he had stayed on before. Apart from Lu Ran, there are no other alien scaly frogs on the island.

Obviously this was just a temporary meeting place chosen by Lu Ran.

Seeing Zhou Chun coming over, Lu Ran grinned at him and said, "It's been two or three years since we last met. Brother Zhou, how are you?"

Zhou Chun heard this and laughed bitterly: "That's really not good. I almost died in Longyuanze last time!"

Hearing this, Lu Ran couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Why do you say that, fellow Daoist? Did you encounter the guardian of the Hualong Sect?"

"Isn't that right!"

Zhou Chun sighed and immediately told the story of the last time he was chased by the three guardians of the Golden Dragon Hall.

After listening to his story, Lu Ran didn't know what to say.

Although Zhou Chun had good luck, he was first chased by a Purple Mansion cultivator and then ambushed by a third-level monster.

It’s not bad to say that Zhou Chun was unlucky, but he was able to insist on returning to his family and ask a Jindan-stage cultivator for treatment.

In the end, he could only comfort Zhou Chun and said, "Don't worry, Brother Zhou. After this transaction, I will personally take you to the shore."

"Speaking of this transaction, I have to tell Senior Lu the truth first, so as to avoid any misunderstandings."

As Zhou Chun spoke, he told him about the Xuanguan Liuying Mirror given to him by Taoist Mingxia.

After hearing what he said, Lu Ran immediately nodded and said, "No problem, I agree to this matter."

"Then let's get started."

After Zhou Chun finished speaking, he summoned the Xuanguan Liuying Mirror and let it release a hazy white light that covered the place where he and Lu Ran were.

Then he looked at Lu Ran with a serious face and said, "Senior Lu, after Senior Qing Weizi of Qinglian Temple learned about what you wanted, he has found a good solution for you, but I wonder what you are willing to pay in exchange?"

"Then I will first tell you how the Dragon Transformation Cult helped the Jiaolong Clan to cultivate a fifth-level Jiaolong!"

Lu Ran glanced at the mysterious mirror floating above his head and spoke out an important secret in a low voice.

"The Dragon Transformation Cult and the Jiaolong Clan have reached a contract. The Jiaolong Clan will first provide a third- or fourth-level Jiaolong with the potential to advance to the fifth level for the Dragon Transformation Cult leader and deputy leader to sign a contract with. Then, all the members of the Cult, the emissaries, and the guardians will use the blood of this Jiaolong to practice the Secret of Dragon Transformation."

"During this period, any cultivator of the Dragon Transformation Sect whose lifespan is about to run out after practicing the Secret of Dragon Transformation, or any cultivator who is unable to serve the sect due to some serious injury or disability, will be quietly fed to the dragon to nourish its body."

“When the dragon grows to the upper fourth level and faces the shackles of breaking through to the fifth level, the Dragon Transformation Sect will use one or more Jindan-stage cultivators who practice the Dragon Transformation Secret with the dragon’s spiritual blood as nourishment to help the dragon break through!”

"Because his physique has been deeply transformed by the dragon's spiritual blood, and he also has the golden elixir that represents the fruit of immortal cultivation as nourishment, this kind of golden elixir cultivator is an excellent tonic for a fourth-level dragon, enough to help it break through the shackles and advance to a higher realm!"

"In the past eight hundred years, the Dragon Transformation Cult has used this method to cultivate many fifth-level dragons for the Jiaolong clan!"

"The Jiaolong Clan also rewarded the Hualong Cult with a large amount of cultivation resources to support the cultivation of the members!"
