This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 428 Gathering all three offerings is enough to summon a phantom god.
When Xiang Yuan first met Bai Wuyan, he thought this woman was unreasonable and had a terrible personality. He even complained about her in front of Xiao Lingyue.

Xiao Lingyue stammered in defense of her master, saying that as long as one could tolerate Bai Wuyan's bad temper, she was actually a pretty good person.

Xiang Yuan didn't understand at first, but after gradually getting to know her, he admitted that what Xiao Lingyue said was true, and that rich women were indeed quite appealing.

It has many advantages, but two of them are particularly outstanding.

First, he is not a riddle solver;
Secondly, one must have a sense of shame.

Given that his own path to enlightenment was riddled with scammers, his dilapidated sampan was of little use, and his own divination skills were mediocre, Xiang Yuan would always seek answers from Bai Wuyan whenever he had doubts. The latter never disappointed him, speaking her mind freely and providing him with much insight.

Speaking of divination, Xiang Yuan actually knows a little bit about it, and he also has a magical artifact he found called the "Celestial Destiny Plate," which works even better when used in conjunction with divination.

To be precise, this magical artifact was picked up by Master Hard Drive from the former Left Envoy of the Underworld, Yin Biegong. As the legal heir, Xiang Yuan acquired the Heavenly Appearance Destiny Chart, and his divination skills greatly improved.

It was probably two years ago when Xiang Yuan asked Ji Boli what divination was, and why his divination method was small, cute, and yet had a powerful and majestic secret.

Gibranche answered that divination is not a complicated science, nor does it require excuses such as bad weather or relapse of old illnesses; it simply depends on whether God is willing to grant one a chance.

If God gives you this opportunity, you'll have something to eat. If God doesn't, you should honestly accumulate resources. Once you've built up your strength and skills, you won't be able to compete with others, and it will be difficult for others to do so.

Among the three realms, the Old Daoist Que Xin and Abbot Hui Xing are first-rate fortune tellers, while Bai Wuyan's divination skills are average. She relies entirely on her realm to suppress others. She is Xiang Yuan's future model. It is difficult for her to predict others, and it is not easy for others to predict her either.

But no matter what, Bai Wuyan's superior skill level is undeniable, far more reliable than Xiang Yuan's own divination. So he simply gave up on this business and subcontracted it to Bai Wuyan.

After getting used to it, Xiang Yuan would always consult Bai Wuyan for a divination before going out on business.

Regardless of time or place, even in other worlds, asking someone for a favor is always extremely difficult.

No, Bai Wuyan is different. As long as Xiang Yuan has a look of "Master Bai is so amazing, I admire you so much", Bai Wuyan will do anything to satisfy Xiang Yuan's question, even if it makes her vomit blood.

Regardless of whether she scratches or bites afterward, let's just say she did or didn't do the job!

In contrast, Su Ran Sword Master is a classic riddle teller. Whether it's about the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Seed or cultivating immortality or godhood, he only tells half the story, whetting Xiang Yuan's appetite before leaving it at that.

Furthermore, one must have a sense of shame.

Su Ran Sword Master is not shameless; on the contrary, she is very concerned about her reputation, so much so that she has an extremely thick skin.

She looks a lot like Qin Zhaorong.

No, Qin Zhaorong looks a lot like her.

Shang Qingmeng: Master speaks with reason and evidence, with meticulous logic and no loopholes. I want to be like her in the future.

Ziping: My mentor is responsible and has a strong sense of duty. I want to be like her in the future.

Qin Zhaorong: My master is so shameless. I want to be like her in the future.

For example, right now, Su Ran Sword Master ignored Xiang Yuan's disdainful gaze, insisted on the principle of taking money first and then doing things, and with a wave of his hand, scattered a large area of ​​blood-red veins, which were inserted into Xiang Yuan's shoulder, arm and neck like straws.

Why are you looking at me like that? You were the one who offered me the blood medicine willingly; I didn't force you!

Bring it to you!

Tons tons tons~~~
Ah, it smells so good!

After a hearty drink, Su Ran Sword Master was radiant and full of energy, while Xiang Yuan was listless and had been drained of the last drop of blood medicine.

Because the straw was still inserted in his body, he wasn't in a hurry to replenish his depleted blood supply. He gestured with his eyes, indicating that the store didn't offer a buy-one-get-one-free deal.

Sword Master Su Ran then leisurely put away the straw, pursed his lips, and was clearly still somewhat unsatisfied.

She possesses the inheritance of the Heavenly Emperor and can be considered to be of the same lineage as Xiang Yuan. Her desire for and compatibility with the blood medicine within Xiang Yuan's body far exceeds that of other cultivators. At the same level and with the same amount, her cultivation efficiency using the blood medicine within Xiang Yuan's body is far greater than that of Bai Wuyan.

This directly led to a consequence: after several blood draws, one cup was no longer enough to satisfy her needs.

What should we do?

Lecturing is not a long-term solution. Sooner or later, there will be no more teachers to teach. So... should we detain them?

Xiang Yuanjian saw that the Sword Master Su Ran's eyes were burning with desire, and his mouth was practically watering. He didn't know where to start spitting.

Please tone it down. Don't let your celestial beauty and your great reputation as a Sword Master go to waste!
"Ahem, Sword Master, it's time to get down to business!" Xiang Yuan coughed lightly, clenching his fist.

Su Ran Sword Master's face instantly turned serious as he said, "The Blood Sea Path is the pawn that the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor planted in Southern Jin."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuan frowned, subconsciously thinking of Li Yuanrong and Wang Daoyan, that pair of disillusioned lovers.

To be precise, it is 'Ah Hong', an incarnation created by Wang Daoyan, who is a candidate for Holy Maiden of the Blood Sea Path.

The Blood Sea Path did indeed exist in the Southern Jin Dynasty!

Rumors circulate that the Blood Sea Sect's headquarters are located in the Southern Frontier. As the Left Envoy of the Yellow Springs Sect, Xiang Yuan can say with absolute certainty that while the Southern Frontier may be chaotic, it is not actually home to that many evil and heretical sects.

The greatest evil demon of the Yellow Springs Path has now been cleansed and embarked on the irreversible path of the righteous sects.

However, the fact that Blood Sea Path was a pawn planted by the mastermind was quite unexpected for Xiang Yuan. Based on his understanding of the Three Thousand Worlds, Blood Sea Path should be the inheritance of Blood Sea Realm, and no matter what the mastermind is doing now, their ultimate goal must be the Heavenly Emperor of Heaven.

In the Taixu Realm, the three upper realms are the Blood Sea Realm, the Heavenly Court, and the Demon Realm, which are divided into three worlds, each with its own laws. The Blood Sea Realm and the Heavenly Court are two independent worlds and cannot be equated.

Logically, the Qianyuan Realm should be the same, but in the end, the Blood Sea Path became a pawn of the mastermind, making the Blood Sea Realm seem like a subordinate agency of the Heavenly Court.

That's ridiculous. The mastermind behind this is currently just the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor, not the Heavenly Emperor who resides in the Nine Heavens.

Xiang Yuan looked at Su Ran Sword Master with doubt in his heart.

Su Ran Sword Master shook her head slightly. She only knew that such a thing existed, and she didn't understand anything more.

Xiang Yuan nodded, his body swayed, his complexion became full, he stopped using the concealing breath technique, and his whole body smelled fragrant, which made Su Ran Sword Venerable's eyes widen.

Damn it, who are you trying to seduce?!

Is it possible that I genuinely don't understand this time and don't intend to raise the price?
The reason why the Sword Master Su Ran paid attention to the mastermind was mainly because the other party, the Heavenly Emperor, was a reincarnation. Out of curiosity but not wanting to get involved with the future Heavenly Court, he learned a little about him and watched from a distance.

Getting too close to the Heavenly Court and actively becoming a cultivator of gods is not a desirable path.

However, if you don't understand, you'll be unprepared and vulnerable to being tricked, which is even more undesirable.

Therefore, Sword Master Su Ran maintained limited attention to the mastermind behind the scenes, neither getting close nor trying to get close to the other party.

The last time he revealed Baiyun Manor and Wangjian Manor to Xiang Yuan, he ruined the mastermind's plans. This time, by revealing the Blood Sea Path, he is making his stance clear and standing completely against the mastermind.

She may not be afraid, but not everyone in the Sword Heart Sect is a Sword Master.

Su Ran Sword Master said she didn't understand and didn't want to understand. Looking into the distance was useless. She couldn't divine the Blood Sea Path of Southern Jin. This matter was not open to discussion.

Even so, Sword Master Su Ran still took out a straw and drank heartily until he couldn't drink anymore.

"Sword Master?!"

After paying, Xiang Yuan waited for Su Ran Sword Master to handle the matter.

"Regarding the cultivation methods of the small world, what are you glaring at me for? Come over and sit down. If you don't want to learn, I won't teach you today." Sword Venerable Su Ran, with his thick skin, forcibly regarded the blood medicine he had just received as tuition.

Xiang Yuan: (_)
It's confirmed. If the two sides start fighting, he will stop Xiao Lingyue and Shang Qingmeng, but he definitely won't stop Bai Gongzhu and Menfeng Jianzun.

Not only would they not stop them, but they would also side with the White Palace Master, capture the Door-Cross Sword Master alive, and detain him as the head of the Peerless Palace.

Money shouldn't be wasted. Xiang Yuan sat cross-legged on the high platform and received instruction and guidance from the Sword Master Su Ran. He once again personally witnessed the realm of the Dao Sword.

Supermarket shopping spree!

It's a pity I couldn't cultivate both my primordial spirit and my inner spirit, otherwise I could have copied even more.

Half an hour later, Sword Master Su Ran finished today's lesson, glanced at Shang Qingmeng who was calling for help outside the small cave, and told Xiang Yuan to go out and coax her.

You go and seduce her!
Give me a break! You think you can boss someone around? Do you think you're the White House lord?
Xiang Yuan was furious that the Sword Master at the Door was a fraud, cheating him out of his tuition fees. He had promised to sleep with Fairy Shang until she was completely submissive, and then used a teleportation technique to leave Sword Heart Studio and avoid Qingzhou altogether.

“You run really fast…”

Su Ran Sword Master's eyes twitched. He vaguely heard Shang Qingmeng spewing profanities, saying things like "shameless in broad daylight." Enraged, he opened the door and dragged the two of them inside.

Zi Ping: "..."

Why is Ah Ping also... Yes, Ah Ping's man was stolen, and Ah Ping is very angry. Ah Ping came to confront her master.

Thinking of this, Zi Ping smiled broadly, no, her eyes widened in anger, and she stepped forward to protect Shang Qingmeng in front of her.

So exciting!
Regardless of Zi Ping's intentions, she did embolden Shang Qingmeng. The latter, not seeing Xiang Yuan around, pointed at Su Ran Sword Master with her sword: "Your master, where did you hide him? He's mine, hand him over!" He also belonged to A Ping!
Zi Ping laughed and shouted in her heart.

Plain-Dyed Sword Master: (_)
If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have let you practice the method of severing the seven emotions and cutting off the six desires back then. You didn't sever the emotional ties, but you completely cut off your respect for your master.

Shang Qingmeng dared to point her sword at me today, but what she would dare to do tomorrow was something even Sword Venerable Su Ran dared not imagine. He snorted coldly and said, "Stop talking nonsense. He came to Sword Heart Hall to learn from me. He's not as bad as you think."

He let out a burp as soon as he finished speaking.

"..." x3
Shang Qingmeng was so angry that her eyes turned red, and so was Ziping, whose eyes were red with excitement.

Caught red-handed, let's see how you try to deny it now!

Su Ran Sword Master felt no embarrassment whatsoever. She knew very well that if she felt awkward at this moment, it would only be her who felt awkward. Then Shang Qingmeng and Zi Ping would seize the moral high ground, and she would be reduced to a shameless and stinking master.

"division……"

"Master? You still know that I am your master?"

Sword Master Su Ran interrupted him directly, speaking rapidly: "I ask you, have you developed feelings for that boy?"

What a joke, you think I'd like him?

It's obvious that he's been pursuing and liking me all along!
Shang Qingmeng looked disdainful, then launched into her well-reasoned argument, speaking without batting an eye.

It had always been Xiang's wishful thinking. In order to appease the furnace cauldron and make it obedient, she used sweet words to satisfy the vanity of the other party and the fairy being in love.

Plain-Dyed Sword Master: (_)
Shame!

Su Ran Sword Master felt a slight headache and turned to look at Zi Ping: "And you, A Ping, have you fallen in love with that boy?"

"hold head high."

Zi Ping nodded repeatedly. As long as she could sit at the table and eat melon, she would accept being told she had been bitten by a dog.

"It's all wishful thinking on your part. If he liked you, he would have come looking for you, but he didn't. He left after completing his training," said Sword Master Su Ran.

"It was clearly because you insisted, Master, that he felt ashamed to face me and left behind his sleeves," Shang Qingmeng shouted.

Zi Ping trembled with excitement, nodding repeatedly, vowing to stand with her senior sister through thick and thin.

Sword Master Su Ran was completely numb. Shang Qingmeng had been bewitched and remained obstinate. Nothing he said could change her mind. He waved his hand and sent the two of them out of the small cave.

One is disrespectful to elders, and the other is rebellious towards his master; neither of them are good people.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The Peerless Palace, a small grotto in the cold pool.

Yes, Xiang Yuan went back to Wushuang Palace to have Bai Wuyan divine his fortune again.

Originally, the calculation was done at the White Lotus Palace, but because it involved the mastermind behind the scenes, Xiang Yuan put on an admiring face, saying "The White Lotus Palace Master is super strong"; because of the backlash from the Heavenly Secrets, Bai Wuyan vomited blood again and again; because her Cloud-Woven Heavenly Robe was stained red, she came to the Cold Pool Cave to wash it off; because Xiang Yuan was clawed a few times, he was grimacing at this moment.

Change clothes.

Bai Wuyan raised her hands coldly, glancing unfriendly at Xiang Yuan standing behind her, and said through gritted teeth, "The Blood Sea Dao you are looking for is hidden in the Shangyuan Mansion. Next time there is a divination of the Upper Three Realms, don't come looking for me."

Xiang Yuan bowed and kowtowed, swearing that there would be no next time, and that this was the last time.

After putting on his palace robes, he put the hairpin that the Wujie Sword had transformed into into his pocket and took the Pure White Golden Wheel. Seeing that Bai Wuyan had long hair draped over her shoulders and a rather indifferent expression, even the beauty mark at the corner of her eye showed dissatisfaction, he used his fingers to comb her hair.

The skills honed at the Overlord's Mansion were superb, earning rave reviews from Xiao Lingyue and Chan'er.

After simply tying her hair up, Xiang Yuan adjusted the collar of her palace dress.

This time he didn't exude any domineering aura, but he had already tidied himself up beforehand. If he didn't reshape it this time, it would seem like he was being perfunctory. He'll definitely have a good head later.

……

Southern Jin Dynasty, Liangzhou.

The Wang family ancestral home.

Led by twin girls from afar, they entered an elegant courtyard, sat down under the eaves, leaned against the carved railings, and sipped tea while appreciating the garden art of the Jiangnan style.

The corridors twist and turn, the paths lead to secluded spots, revealing hidden depths, artificial hills and stacked rocks, and flowing water, all exuding exquisite charm.

The artificial hill is as slender as an old pine tree, as translucent as a jade carving, as leaky as moonlight gauze, and as wrinkled as dragon scales, emerging from the depths of the clouds; a pool of spring water, koi carp swaying their tails, ripples spreading out water lilies; flower trellises hanging down, the wind passing silently, lingering fragrance rustling, hazy and elegant hidden among the verdant hills.

The Ya in the south is the real deal!

Just as I was admiring it, I suddenly heard the tinkling of jade pendants.

Two women in red robes emerged gracefully from the depths of the winding path. Their long hair reached their waists, and their demeanor was serene and elegant. They moved with light, graceful steps, displaying the dignified bearing of ladies from noble families.

But not.

Although they are said to be two women, they are actually one person: Wang Daoyan and her Blood Sea Dao incarnation, Ah Hong.

Xiang Yuan's assessment of Wang Daoyan can be summed up in four words: "crazy bitch."

This grandmaster of the Illusionary Annihilation Path was impeccable in both appearance and temperament, but because the methods of the Illusionary Annihilation Path torment others and torment himself even more, he had long since become a pervert in silence, and his thought process was like a mudslide, so much so that even minotaurs were afraid of being bullied.

Xiang Yuan, a standard pure love warrior, always avoids crazy women like Wang Daoyan. However, due to Bai Wuyan's divination results, he decided to choose a suitable teammate to protect him, which is why he went against his conscience and found Wang Daoyan.

The reason Bai Wuyan suffered a backlash and vomited blood was not because she had figured out the mastermind, but because there was a cultivator in the Upper Three Realms hidden in the Blood Sea Path of Shangyuan Prefecture.

This piece has not yet been used by the mastermind, or rather, it is about to be used.

Xiang Yuan, carrying two of Bai Wuyan's magical treasures, was fearless in single combat against cultivators of the upper three realms of the Blood Sea Path. However, as a man from Chu, there was no reason for him to become a high-ranking figure in Southern Jin. Wang Daoyan, as the grandmaster of the Wang Clan, one of the six great families, was an outstanding figure among grandmasters. She was the best candidate to become the top person.

The decision is yours!

"So it was the King of Western Chu in person. Wang Daoyan is very polite."

Wang Daoyan slowly took her seat, her attitude quite indifferent, completely unlike last time when she was hugging and cuddling with Xiang Yuan, leaving him surrounded by admirers, and even clamoring to have his child.

It wasn't that she changed her gender, but rather that Li Yuanrong wasn't around.

Having sex and having children are not the goal; the goal is to do it in front of Li Yuanrong. Without Li Yuanrong, Xiang Yuan has no appeal to Wang Daoyan.

Xiang Yuan's assessment was correct; the Disillusionment Path definitely has some kind of mental problem.

"Sister-in-law, let's not beat around the bush. I've come to invite you to Shangyuan Prefecture," Xiang Yuan said bluntly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Daoyan immediately woke up and her tone became warm: "I can go, but it will have to be several months later, after I am pregnant with your child."

Xiang Yuan listened without any reaction. It was a natural conversation, nothing surprising. He shook his head and said, "I understand your deeper meaning, sister-in-law, but I think you are still too conservative. The principle of disillusionment should be taken to extremes. Some things are more heartless if done face to face."

Wang Daoyan frowned slightly, unsure whether Xiang Yuan was telling the truth or not, and asked suspiciously, "What exactly is the purpose of inviting me to Shangyuan Prefecture?"

If I invite you to join my team, Li Yuanrong will join the team, and then I'll have two teammates I can sacrifice.

If you collect all three offerings, you can summon a phantom god!

"Sister-in-law, you are in danger of bloodshed. I have come to save you," Xiang Yuan said solemnly.

Wang Daoyan nodded and said to Ah Hong, who was standing next to him, "See the guest out."

Xiang Yuan smiled slightly, stood up and said, "In that case, I will not stay any longer and will come to Liangzhou for a feast another day."

Seeing his relaxed steps and calm demeanor, as if he were taking off without any fear, Wang Daoyan couldn't sit still any longer and stood up, saying, "Your Highness has taken the wrong road. Shangyuan Prefecture is not in that direction."

That's pretty much it!
Xiang Yuan's smile remained unchanged as he glanced at Ah Hong: "There are Blood Sea Dao cultivators in Shangyuan Capital. They've already traced it back to Sister-in-law. We're surrounded by powerful enemies, and while they're in the shadows, we're in the open. Sister-in-law's situation is precarious!"

When you go to Shangyuan this time, you'd better tone it down and stop being so lovey-dovey and showing off your love all the time.

"Blood Sea Road..."

Wang Daoyan frowned slightly, looking at Xiang Yuan with suspicion: "You didn't come to Shangyuan to stir up trouble and support the new emperor's ascension to the throne?"

"..."

Where did you hear this rumor? It's prejudice, slander and defamation from a petty person!

No, this has escalated to a personal attack!
