The blind girl is called a saint with a sword!

Without further hesitation, he plunged into the water.

His target is Lan Xiaogu.

Compared to the people of the Thirty-Six Islands, Lan Xiaogu, the so-called number one assassin in the world, is obviously much weaker.

As long as he captures Lan Xiaogu, he will have a chance to survive.

But this time he was wrong again; Lan Xiaogu was no longer the Lan Xiaogu of the past.

The true energy of immortality burst forth, and the soft whip transformed into a spear as hard as iron, piercing a hole in him as he climbed onto the ship.

Where are you going to run to?

Lan Xiaogu looked at Tao Lin indifferently.

Tao Lin gave a bitter laugh.

So be it, dying at Lan Xiaogu's hands is better than dying at the hands of that monster An Qingwan.

The shouts of battle on the river were deafening, and the sandbar shook violently. This situation lasted for nearly half an hour before it finally calmed down.

An Qingwan threw all the people who hadn't been crushed to death onto the martial arts figures she had saved.

"It's up to you now. You can take revenge on them however you want!"

Those who were still conscious quickly shouted their thanks.

The next moment, they suddenly transformed into hungry wolves and pounced on the prisoners who were following Feng Shangren.

"Ahhh-"

The screams were deafening.

An Qingwan then grabbed He Daoqing, who was so frightened he was out of his mind, and threw him to Hu Bugui and his son Hu Tiexin, who were walking towards them.

"Even if he betrayed the Thirty-Six Islands, whether to kill him or spare him is entirely up to you."

Hu Bugui laughed heartily: "Thanks to you, Lady An, otherwise we don't know how long we would have been kept in the dark. Lady An, the Thirty-Six Islands owe you a great favor this time. Whatever you want, you can come to us anytime, and we will do our best to help you!"

An Qingwan said, "Young Master Hu, you're too kind. We'll have to trouble you thirty-six islands to send these people back one by one."

Hu Bugui sighed, "They... well, don't worry, I'll find a way to send them back."

An Qingwan nodded and walked over to the body of Feng Shangren.

Just then, her brow twitched, and she quickly reached out her hand.

The internal energy circulated, actually piercing through Feng Shangren's chest cavity, drawing out a ball of energy and an immature Life-Devouring Gu.

"Still alive?"

The Life-Eating Gu was already on its last legs; if left untreated, it probably wouldn't live much longer.

"The Life-Eating Gu survives by sucking blood and flesh. Speaking of blood and flesh..."

An Qingwan thought of the corpses on the ground.

Very well, let's use the flesh and blood of those bastards from the Yin-Yang Sect to refine this Life-Devouring Gu.

She didn't understand how to refine Gu, but Lan Xiaogu did.

However, relying on these dead bodies alone is probably not enough. We need to find Sikong Tingxue and ask her to provide more names and addresses.

Sikong Tingxue is probably still angry with her, but as long as she makes her stance clear and says that she will help eliminate the enemy, Sikong Tingxue will definitely cooperate with her.

P.S.: Thank you Yefeng Lingyu and Xijing for the razor blades.

The Ultimate Yin Transformation into Yang: The Lily's "Dual Cultivation" Technique [3k]

While the people from the Thirty-Six Islands were searching Feixianzhou to prevent any escapees, An Qingwan, along with Lan Xiaogu who had followed them, was also searching the residence of Fengshangren.

This search actually yielded quite a few good results.

First and foremost is the Purple Extreme Demon Art treasured by Master Feng.

The Purple Extreme Demon Art is a mental cultivation method that promises to allow one to glimpse the realm of a Grandmaster. The Purple Extreme Palace Master, who wreaked havoc on the martial arts world a hundred years ago, achieved his goal through this method.

However, the Purple Extreme Demon Art has a huge flaw: the great power of those who cultivate this art comes mostly from the Qi Pills and Life Pills they plunder.

Even the Palace Master of Ziji Palace, who created the Ziji Demon Art, could not achieve a truly perfect fusion of the Qi Pill and the Life Pill.

Therefore, even if a martial artist reaches the Grandmaster level with the Purple Extreme Demon Art, they will still often suffer from the conflict between their Qi Pill and Life Pill.

After the Purple Extreme Demon Art was passed down to many people, everyone tried to solve this flaw, including Feng Shangren. However, despite their many attempts, they still could not do it.

Therefore, although she acquired the Purple Extreme Demon Art, An Qingwan did not intend to practice it, much less let Lan Xiaogu practice it.

Anyway, Lan Xiaogu doesn't need it.

The Longevity Scripture that Lan Xiaogu is currently practicing is a true orthodox Taoist cultivation method. Its potential is no less than that of the Purple Extreme Demon Art, and it is even a hundred times better than the Purple Extreme Demon Art in terms of its side effects such as preserving youth.

The only problem is that in order to rely on the Book of Immortality to enter the realm of Grandmaster, there is a very difficult problem that Lan Xiaogu needs to solve.

That is, how she should refine another type of immortality energy within her body, and how she should perfectly fuse these two types of immortality energy.

It's unclear whether the Grand Eunuch solved this problem, but at least the Joyful Taoist didn't.

Otherwise, the Book of Immortality wouldn't have fallen into the hands of An Qingwan and the others.

Since ancient times, achieving harmony between yin and yang, and unifying the two poles, has never been a simple matter.

Of course, Lan Xiaogu isn't in a hurry to consider that right now.

Although she has successfully refined the Longevity True Qi passed down by the Joyful Taoist, she is still far from becoming a Grandmaster. She must first thoroughly understand the Longevity Heavenly Book and learn the profound martial arts techniques within it.

Besides the Purple Extreme Demon Art, An Qingwan also found several martial arts manuals of the Yin Extreme Sect, but unfortunately, the two great treasures of the Yin Extreme Sect were not among them.

As she walked around, An Qingwan stopped in front of a wall.

"Sister An, what's wrong?" Lan Xiaogu asked in confusion.

An Qingwan said, "I heard a very faint strange sound."

Lan Xiaogu said, "Strange noise? Is there a secret passage behind this wall, or is there something wrong with the stone slab on the wall with the landscape painting carved on it?"

An Qingwan said, "Stone slab? Let's take it down and take a look."

Lan Xiaogu quickly moved a box over from the side, and carefully removed the stone slab by stepping on the box.

An Qingwan took the stone slab, shook it gently, and already understood.

There's something inside this stone slab.

The internal force surged outward, and the edge of the stone slab instantly turned into dust.

An Qingwan casually pulled out a piece of silk: "Miss Lan, take a look at this silk."

Lan Xiaogu took the silk, glanced at it, and then let out a startled cry of "Ah!"

"Don't watch it, don't watch it."

Lan Xiaogu quickly returned the silk to An Qingwan.

An Qingwan looked bewildered: "What's wrong with this silk?"

Lan Xiaogu had already transformed into Steam Girl, waving her hands incessantly: "That's a erotic picture... and not just any erotic picture, but two women, or even several women, are there... Feng Shangren, that old pervert, is a real scoundrel, actually hiding an erotic picture in the stone slab."

An Qingwan was stunned.

Erotic pictures, specifically erotic pictures featuring lilies?

Feng Shangren is a rather perverted person, but if he really wanted to see erotic pictures, would he have been so secretive about it?

He wants to see things openly and honestly, and he doesn't want anyone to say a word against him.

“Miss Lan, take another look. This picture must be extraordinary to have been hidden so well.”

"But, but..."

After saying "but" several times, Lan Xiaogu finally mustered up the courage to take the silk back.

Upon closer inspection, the difference was indeed noticeable.

"Sister An, this seems to be a special mental cultivation method, something like the Extreme Yin Transformation into Yang Tranquility Method."

An Qingwan thought to herself, "Just as I thought."

"What is the purpose of this mental cultivation method?"

Lan Xiaogu blushed and continued to look at other parts of the silk.

"The general outline on the silk says that after the founder of the Yin-Yang Sect, Fairy Ningbing, comprehended the extremely Yin 'Heavenly Water Treasure Book' and 'Withered Wood Scripture,' she finally became a Grandmaster. However, she always firmly believed that there was a higher realm above the Grandmaster. In order to pursue that realm, she studied for many years and finally, referring to the dual cultivation methods of Taoism and Tantric Buddhism, she comprehended this unorthodox method of transforming Yin into Yang and calming the mind."

"This mental cultivation method can only be used in conjunction with the 'Tianshui Treasure Manual' or the 'Kumu Scripture'. It involves the exchange of qi between women to refine a purer form of Yin energy within the bodies of another woman or several other women. Once the internal energy is refined to a certain degree, it can generate Yang energy from Yin energy, achieving true Yin-Yang harmony and the unification of the two poles. It is not like other mental cultivation methods that emphasize Yin-Yang harmony, but in reality, Yin and Yang are still distinct."

"However, this seems to be just a conjecture. The annotation next to it says that although Fairy Ningbing's strength has greatly increased by relying on this meditation technique, she has not truly reached that higher realm."

"That's all. If you want to see it, Sister An, go ask Jin Xueyi to take a look."

At this point, Lan Xiaogu quickly stuffed the silk back to An Qingwan.

An Qingwan nodded slightly: "The two great manuals of the Yin Yang Sect are already very extreme, and this mental cultivation method is even more extreme. No wonder it is a demonic sect."

After a sigh, she put the silk into her bosom.

This mental cultivation technique is useless to her, but it would be a pity to destroy it directly. It might be useful in a critical moment to lure Sikong Tingxue, so she should keep it for now.

Next, An Qingwan, accompanied by Lan Xiaogu whose face was as red as if she had applied rouge, searched through Feng Shangren's residence again and found a large amount of gold and silver treasures.

"A lot of money!"

Lan Xiaogu's "blushing syndrome" was cured instantly.

His eyes sparkled, gleaming with gold and silver light.

An Qingwan took all the money without any hesitation.

She is not greedy, but she really needs money right now.

During her trip to Sichuan, she realized that fighting alone was far too inefficient in dealing with those demonic cultivators.

Therefore, she began to intentionally cultivate Lan Xiaogu and others. However, it was not enough to just cultivate Lan Xiaogu and Gongsun Hongdie. She also planned to establish an intelligence organization.

When navigating the world of martial arts, intelligence is naturally of utmost importance.

Establishing an intelligence organization, of course, requires a lot of money.

Lan Xiaogu left Sichuan ahead of time for two reasons: first, to visit her hometown, and second, to prepare for the establishment of an intelligence organization.

An Qingwan made two preparations.

The first step was to have Lan Xiaogu rebuild Tingfeng Pavilion, an assassin organization established by Jin Xueyi's second uncle, Su Zheqiu, which was now on the verge of bankruptcy.

With Lan Xiaogu's strength and her connections in Tingfeng Pavilion, rebuilding Tingfeng Pavilion would be no difficult task.

The second plan was to have Jin Xueyi reorganize the Su family's business resources and open a security escort agency with operations throughout the north and south.

To run a security escort agency, you need connections, money, and, most importantly, skilled personnel.

The Su family has connections, and An Qingwan and the Su family are wealthy. As for experts, An Qingwan previously traveled to Qingcheng Mountain and rescued more than a hundred experts. If she intends to recruit them, she will surely be able to recruit many experts.

An Qingwan's idea was that Tingfeng Pavilion would operate in the shadows while the镖局 (escort agency) would operate in the open, gathering intelligence for her or doing things that she couldn't do herself.

With the money contributed by Ran Ping, Huanxi Daoren, and Feng Shangren, her plan should soon be on the right track.

At dawn, at Fei Xian Zhou Wharf.

An Qingwan, Lan Xiaogu, and the people from the Thirty-Six Islands each stood at the bow of the boat.

"I had intended to invite you, Miss An, to visit the Thirty-Six Islands, but unfortunately you have important matters to attend to," Hu Tiexin said regretfully, shaking his head.

An Qingwan smiled and said, "I will definitely visit the Thirty-Six Islands when I have time in the future."

Hu Tiexin said, "Then I will look forward to that day."

Just then, Hu Bugui suddenly said, "Miss An, do you really have no intention of cooperating with my Thirty-Six Islands to plot something big? With you here, my Thirty-Six Islands will be even more powerful. If you want to deal with those demonic sects, my Thirty-Six Islands will definitely give you their full support."

An Qingwan shook her head: "No need."

It wasn't that she didn't want to get involved in the struggle for power; it was just that she couldn't yet see the overall trend of the world clearly, so she wasn't in a hurry to make a choice.

Hu Bugui sighed, "What a pity. Although we cannot work together on important matters, if Miss An needs help in the future, she can always come to me."

The group said their goodbyes and went their separate ways as the sun rose.

An Qingwan stood at the bow of the boat, recalling what Hu Tiexin and the others had just said.
