Tianchifang.
In the central square of Fang City.
A huge black bird soared over, and Lan Huaying jumped lightly from the bird's back.
She was wearing a purple-black palace dress, like a blooming black lotus.
Li Shuidao and many deacons stood neatly in the square to welcome Lan Huaying's arrival.
The deacons were dressed in black and had serious eyes, showing their respect and awe for Lan Huaying.
Li Shuidao, dressed in white, stood in front of everyone. He clasped his fists and said, "Tianchi Square, the owner of Tianchi Square, Li Shuidao, together with the deacons of each hall, respectfully welcomes the Blue Fairy."
All the deacons said in unison: "Welcome to the Blue Fairy!"
Lan Huaying nodded slightly, her eyes were deep and there was a smile at the corner of her mouth.
The huge black bird gradually became smaller around her, and finally turned into a small bird and landed on her shoulder.
Li Shuidao asked with a flattering smile on his face: "Senior Sister, what is the purpose of your visit to Tianchifang? We will do our best to serve you."
Lan Huaying took a deep look at Li Shuidao and said in a cold and proud tone: "Go to your study and talk."
"Yes!" Li Shuidao bowed and clasped his fists.
Li Shuidao's study is no longer the simple stone building study of the past, but a small and quiet courtyard located in the backyard of the Fang City Council Hall.
The yard is surrounded by green trees and filled with the fragrance of flowers, just like a paradise.
Lan Huaying came to this small courtyard, her eyes scanned the surrounding environment, and she nodded with satisfaction.
The tranquility and tranquility here were just what she wanted.
"Sister, please come inside." Li Shuidao respectfully invited Lan Huaying into the study.
Lan Huaying sat unceremoniously on the main seat, her posture was noble and her expression was proud.
Li Shuidao had a flattering expression on his face and asked, "Senior Sister, what is the purpose of your visit? Please give me your instructions."
Lan Huaying pondered for a moment and then said: "Li Shuidao, my Lan family rescued you from the Poison Abyss three years ago in the hope that you would be able to take the blame and make meritorious service. Do you still remember?"
Li Shuidao replied loudly: "My subordinates' great kindness to Senior Sister will never be forgotten."
Lan Huaying nodded with satisfaction and said, "Now is your chance to make a contribution. Are you willing to do it?"
Li Shuidao immediately replied: "I am willing to go through fire and water, even if I die."
A cold light flashed in Lan Huaying's eyes, and she said: "Okay! We received news that a treasure appeared in Yunmang Mountain, called 'Dragon Bone Tai Sui'. This is a fourth-level spiritual material that was born and raised. I The ancestors of the Lan family are bound to get this thing. However, we don’t know who actually fell into the hands of the ‘Dragon Bone Tai Sui’. I want you to go to Yunmang Mountain to find out about this matter.”
Li Shuidao frowned and said, "What if we find out the whereabouts? Such a precious treasure is probably in the hands of the True Lord Wuxiang of the Yunmang Sword Sect."
Lan Huaying shook her head, with a trace of amusement in her eyes. She looked at Li Shuidao and said jokingly: "Li Shuidao... tell me, if you picked up a treasure that would be of great benefit to your practice, what would you do? Won’t you turn it in?”
Li Shuidao quickly replied: "Disciple will definitely hand it over to Senior Sister."
Lan Huaying laughed sarcastically: "To put it nicely, if I knew the treasure was on you, you would definitely hand it over, but if I don't know whose hands it is in, you would definitely keep it for yourself."
Li Shuidao smiled awkwardly and said, "My subordinates will never do such a shameless thing."
"Hmph!" Lan Huaying snorted coldly and continued: "Our Five Poison Sect and Yunmang Sword Sect have been enemies for generations. Naturally, we have planted secret agents for a long time. We have a clear grasp of the movements of Yunmang Sword Sect. Now, The Yunmang Sword Sect themselves are also looking for the whereabouts of Dragon Bone Tai Sui, and they are searching in secret for fear that the news will be leaked and attract the covetousness of all the sects in the world... The "Lengyue Sword Art" you practice is quite different from that of the Yunmang Sword Sect. There are some similarities. If you accompany the monks of the Yunmang Sword Sect to rob treasures, no one will suspect that you are in the Five Poison Sect. When you go to Yunmang Mountain, contact the secret agent we arranged, and he will arrange it for you when the time comes. How to do."
"This..." Hearing this, Li Shuidao looked hesitant and said in embarrassment: "Sister Mingjian, I am now the owner of Tianchifang. If I leave without authorization, there will be no one here to testify, and there may be trouble."
"It doesn't matter, you go and find out the news. During this period, I will guard Tianchifang. My presence will definitely ensure the safety of Tianchifang. In addition, I have an order from the leader, and he appointed me to temporarily take over the position of the head of Tianchifang." Lan Huaying took out an exquisite jade letter from his body. The letter had the fire-lacquer seal of Lan Jingde, the leader of the Five Poison Sect.
It was the first time Li Shuidao saw the order from the head of the Five Poison Sect. He carefully opened the fire seal, took out a letter from the jade and read it carefully.
I hope this letter will arrive and I will see it as if it were your face.
I have heard that your hard work and construction in Tianchifang are actually the pillars of the sect, and your achievements are outstanding and admirable.
However, I have an important mission that needs you to complete. I heard that there is a treasure on Yunmang Mountain called "Dragon Bone Tai Sui". It is a fourth-level spiritual material and is a treasure nurtured by heaven and earth. This object is of great significance to my Lan family. I need you to go to Yunmang Sword Sect personally to find out its whereabouts and do your best to bring it back to the sect.
In order to ensure the success of the mission, I need you to temporarily hand over the position of the owner of Tianchifang to Lan Huaying. He will manage Tianchifang on your behalf. I firmly believe that he can continue to promote the development of the sect and will also provide you with sufficient support and help.
After completing this mission, you will receive a reward of 10,000 meritorious deeds to show my recognition and reward for you. However, I must also inform you that this mission is extremely important to our Lan family. If you fail to complete it as scheduled, you will have to wait for three years before you can return to Tianchifang.
I firmly believe that you have enough talent and ability to complete this mission. Please make preparations quickly and go to Yunmang Sword Sect to show the majesty and strength of our Lan family. Three years later, Lan Huaying handed over the position of head of the workshop to you again.
I wish you a safe journey and your mission will be accomplished!
Head of the Five Poison Sect
Lan Jingde.
…
Li Shuidao read the letter over and over again, feeling an unspeakable pressure in his heart.
He was sent to Yunmang Mountain to complete an almost impossible task. If he couldn't find the dragon bone Tai Sui, he would have to stay in Yunmang Mountain for three years.
At the same time, the management of Fangshi will be taken over by Lan Huaying.
Li Shuidao frowned and was full of doubts.
The Lan family does not need to send anyone to guard Fang City at all. If there is no one to guard Fang City, then the Li family should send a monk to guard it.
Lan Huaying came to be the owner of the workshop in person, probably because he discovered a problem.
In fact, Tianchifang does have problems.
The Li family secretly mines spirit stones in Scorpio Valley, and these spirit stones are all metallic spirit stones.
In order not to arouse suspicion from others, metallic spiritual stones with the same properties cannot be directly circulated, otherwise it will expose the fact that the Li family secretly mines spiritual minerals.
This is a serious crime of confiscating a family and exterminating a clan.
Therefore, they had to wash the ore through countless small transactions in the market before they could use it.
However, it has been more than three years since Li Shuidao started washing the ore, and a large amount of metallic spiritual stones have been washed into Black Mountain.
The Wudu Sect must have noticed the anomaly. The proportion of metallic spiritual stones circulating in the market was too high, and they began to investigate.
Lan Huaying, who is based in Tianchifang, is undoubtedly suspicious of this matter.
Since you have already been suspected, if you can't get rid of it, it will only aggravate the suspicion.
"Since it's the master's order, how dare I disobey it. I immediately packed up and prepared to leave." Li Shuidao replied without hesitation.
Lan Huaying smiled faintly, with a hint of urging in his tone: "Don't be too panicked. It won't be too late to leave tomorrow. You still need to hand over to me."
Li Shuidao understood what Lan Huaying meant. She hoped that she could leave Tianchifang as soon as possible so that she could take over Fangshi and start the investigation.
"I will immediately hold a secret meeting to announce the matter, and then set off as soon as possible." Li Shuidao said very righteously.
"Okay!" Lan Huaying nodded with satisfaction.
That night.
The secret base underground in Tianchifang.
Dark hall.
More than twenty female cultivators in black stood neatly. Zhao Ling'er and Ju Mujin, who were carrying ghost-faced avenues, stood on the left and right sides of the high platform.
Xia Ruoxue was wearing a big red robe and stood in the center of the high platform. She ordered in a cold voice: "The Lord has concluded that there must be traitors planted by the Five Poison Sect in Tianchifang. You must try to find them out. Don't act rashly after they are found out. You must remember Stay, only by hiding can you deliver a truly fatal blow!"
"Tomorrow, the Lord and I will leave Tianchifang, and the position of the head of Tianchifang will be replaced by a woman named Lan. During my absence, all affairs of the dark hall will be taken care of by your master Ling02 and senior sister Ling03. , your cultivation must not fall behind, and you must not show your cultivation without the order of the dark hall, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!"
All the female cultivators responded in unison: "Yes."
the next day.
The meeting hall of Tianchifang.
Li Shuidao stood on the high platform, scanning the many black-clothed deacons, and his voice solemnly spread throughout the entire meeting hall: "According to the order of the leader, I have another appointment. The position of the leader of Tianchifang will be taken by Fairy Lan Huaying. Take over.”
When the deacons heard the news, they immediately started talking and whispering to each other with different expressions.
"Why would the Lan family take over? Tianchifang belongs to our Li family." A deacon muttered in a low voice.
"Shut up!" Li Shuidao heard this and yelled angrily: "Tianchifang belongs to the Five Poison Sect!"
Later, Li Shuidao handed Tianchifang's account book to Lan Huaying in public, symbolizing the transfer of power. This account book records the financial status and various affairs of Tianchifang, and is one of the important responsibilities of the owner.
Immediately afterwards, Li Shuidao personally took Lan Huaying to the treasure house of Tianchifang. The treasure house is filled with various Five Elements Spiritual Stones.
There are two other treasure houses in Tianchifang, namely the secret treasure house and the top secret treasure house.
The secret treasure house is full of metallic spiritual stones, and is managed by Zero Zero Three Zhao Ling'er. Every month, Zhao Ling'er will distribute at least two metallic spirit stones to all the female cultivators in the dark hall for their cultivation.
As for the top-secret treasure house, only Li Shuidao knew about it, and he personally managed the treasure house. Even Xia Ruoxue didn't know the existence of the top-secret treasure house.
