Chapter 172 Jiang Family Guardian

On Lingyun Peak, in addition to Jiang Rilan and others who were originally guarding here, the family's True Dan elders Jiang Ridong and Jiang Riyue also came.

The strange phenomenon of the Green Flame Divine Bird rushing to the elixir has alarmed the entire family. Even the Yuanying ancestor has paid attention to it personally. Who can not come?

Everyone stood outside the retreat.

The huge stone door slowly opened.

Everyone looked at it and saw that the divine bird as tall as a person had walked out. The green feathers on its body were shining, emitting an aura that made the True Dan palpitate!

"Divine bird, it's done!"

"I'm afraid this... is not just a True Dan?"

"So strong, this kind of aura is definitely stronger than a True Dan!"

Everyone spoke up.

"This... is not a True Dan, but a Golden Dan!"

Jiang Rilan is knowledgeable and after carefully sensing it, he spoke out loud.

Golden Dan!

When these words came out, many elders of the Jiang family were even more shocked, and then they were all surprised to the extreme.

"What, Golden Core! This divine bird is too strong, too strong, no wonder it can have such a terrible vision!"

"The Golden Core Divine Bird, becoming a Nascent Soul is just around the corner, my Jiang family will prosper, prosper!"

"God bless the Jiang family!"

They all shouted excitedly.

"Hey, that's not right..."

But then, Jiang Rilan frowned suddenly.

Behind the divine bird, a figure had already walked out.

Li An!

"Wu Qin, you're not dead... No, you've formed a core?!"

Jiang Rilan was suddenly shocked.

Everyone in the field was also surprised.

"Shou Qing Wu Qin, shouldn't he have died..."

"He is the food of the divine bird, how come he is still alive now, and he has become a True Core cultivator?"

"Be careful, there is a problem, there must be a problem!"

Many core figures of the Jiang family were shocked, and Jiang Rilan's face was gloomy. He suddenly waved his hand, and the surrounding mountain protection formations were activated layer by layer, completely sealing off the surroundings.

Control Li An first!

"Master Jiang,"

Li An walked out calmly and looked at Jiang Rilan, "Perhaps you should not be concerned about me now, but Mr. Ruoxu."

"Is he okay?"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Rilan's face changed even more. He had already realized that something was wrong, because although the Taiyi Xiangcong formation had been running, Jiang Ruoxu seemed to have not succeeded...

He hurriedly sent someone to open the Taiyi Xiangcong formation not far away.

But the formation turned around and instantly killed the two fake pill cultivators.

"Something has changed!"

"What's going on?"

Everyone looked over.

In the Taiyi Xiangcong formation, a woman in white had already flown up, and it was Tan Qingxue.

She stared at Li An who was walking out of the retreat, and said in a deep voice: "How dare you pick my fruit! You stole my divine bird!"

Li An ignored her, and said to the Jiang family: "She is the mastermind behind the scenes. You have all been deceived. In order to seize the divine bird, she has probably killed Jiang Ruoxu--"

Jiang Rilan's scalp tingled and his eyelids twitched wildly. He had a premonition that Jiang Ruoxu might be in danger, and the indignation of being calculated made him even more furious. He shouted:

"Catch him!"

"No one can leave!"

The formation was activated and rushed towards Tan Qingxue.

At the same time, from a certain mountain of the Jiang family, a terrifying spiritual power hand, even across a range of dozens of miles, directly grabbed Tan Qingxue!

The Yuanying old monster made a move!

Life and death were in a moment, but Tan Qingxue still stared at Li An and said: "This hatred will be avenged one day!"

As soon as the voice fell, her figure suddenly disappeared from the air.

There was only a flash of light.

When the power of the layers of formations on Lingyun Peak fell, when the Yuanying hand came crashing down, there was a huge explosion in the air, the air seemed to boil, the shock wave scattered, the smoke and dust on the ground were agitated, even the True Dan cultivators felt the strong wind blowing on their faces and couldn't help but take a few steps back!

"Teleportation array!"

"It's actually a teleportation array!"

"Who is this Tan Xue, she..."

The group of Jiang family masters who were filled with righteous indignation just now looked at each other at this moment, feeling an inexplicable chill and chill in their hearts.

Teleportation array, this kind of thing is too high-end.

Even if the Jiang family is a Yuanying family, they can't get in touch with it, they just have some understanding.

But Tan Xue actually has some mastery...

This means that Tan Xue's background may be very big.

Even the Yuanying powerhouse who took action had no intention of chasing, and was silent for a long time.

Before the cave. Li An was slightly surprised. He knew from Shangguan Xiaoxiao that Tan Xue's current rank was not low... but he didn't expect it to be so high?

"Who is stronger, you or her?"

Li An couldn't help asking in his mind.

Now that Tan Qingxue's plan to seize the bird has been destroyed, and she has left a vow to avenge her in the future, Li An still feels a little uneasy...

The other party is too strong!

"You have a pig brain. What level is she? Compare with me?!"

In the spirit platform, Shangguan Xiaoxiao was angry, as if she was despised. "She was not even qualified to serve me tea and water in the spirit world!"

Li An: "What about now?"

Shangguan Xiaoxiao: "..."

...

Jiang Rilan and others had changing expressions and thousands of thoughts.

After coming to his senses, Jiang Rilan quickly walked to the Taiyi Xiangcong formation.

"Ruoxu!"

A sad cry sounded instantly.

He picked up Jiang Ruoxu's body. For a moment, tears flowed from his old eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Tan Xue!!"

A group of elders were all very depressed when they saw this.

Jiang Ruoxu was the last surviving fruit of the three core seed figures of the Jiang family. He was already listed as the young master and was trained as the successor. But now...

"Ah..."

"I didn't expect that my Jiang family would be plotted against like this!"

They sighed helplessly.

"And this Wu Qin!"

An elder said grimly, "He deserves to die too!"

"Yes, there must be something strange about this person. The death of the young master may also be related to him!"

"Kill him!"

Everyone reacted and stared at Li An, with murderous intent boiling.

Li An didn't have a teleportation array. There were no less than a dozen real and fake Dan masters in front of him, and there were also several third-level and fourth-level formations blocking him. There was also a Yuanying old monster secretly watching...

He couldn't leave. However, Li An was very calm and just patted the back of the bird.

The blue bird suddenly spread its wings and protected Li An behind it. Its red beak opened and spurted out a blue flame to warn everyone!

"Bird, you..."

"You are the bird of my Jiang family. How can you help the foreign thieves?!"

"Are you crazy..."

The faces of many elders of the Jiang family changed slightly. They did not dare to move forward for a while, and many large formations that were ready to move also stopped.

"Jiang Ruoxu's death has nothing to do with me!"

Li An said loudly, "He was killed, and the Taiyi Xiangcong Formation lost its master. In turn, it saved me and let me follow the divine bird to break through the alchemy barrier, and inexplicably became the master of the divine bird..."

"I worked hard for the Jiang family, but you tried to strangle me here. If it weren't for God's eyes, I, Wu Qin, would have died on the spot!"

"If you want to fight, I, Wu Qin, will fight to the death with the divine bird, but before I die, I will also drag one or two real elixirs to be buried with me!"

His words were cold and resolute, and his own real elixir aura was released without any concealment!

Everyone was even more shocked and angry when they heard it.

"What... my Jiang family's divine bird was actually obtained by him?!"

"The golden elixir divine bird made wedding clothes for him, this... unbearable, unbearable, kill him!"

"The young master died, and the divine bird changed hands, damn... damn!"

Everyone in the Jiang family was furious.

The death of the young master was a serious matter, but it was not a devastating blow to a large family like the Jiang family. At most, they could just choose a new one. The Jiang family had plenty of talents, and they could pile up qualified family heads with resources.

However, the Blue Flame Divine Bird had an unparalleled status in the Jiang family and was the only fourth-level spiritual beast controlled by the Jiang family.

If something happened to this Blue Flame Divine Bird, the Jiang family's Blue Flame Divine Bird would become extinct in the future. By then, even if the beast-controlling Jiang family would not be directly destroyed, it would fall into decline.

This was intolerable.

What's more, who was Wu Qin? To the Jiang family, he was just an ant. An ant actually tried to seize the divine bird...

"I want you to die!"

"You will die for sure!"

The crowd was excited!

Li An was nervous, but he remained calm. He took out dozens of third-level runes and held them in his hands!

Prepare for a battle.

The third-level formation of Lingyun Peak slowly started, and was about to kill Li An.

"Stop it——"

But at this time, an old voice suddenly sounded.

Instantly, the formation of Lingyun Peak came to an abrupt end, and an inexplicable aura and pressure swept across the entire Lingyun Peak. Many of the Jiang family's true and false elixir elders all changed their faces.

A ray of light flew up from a mountain dozens of miles away. In the blink of an eye, an old man appeared on Lingyun Peak.

He was dressed in a gray robe and had very long hair and beard. He looked like he had not been out of seclusion for many years.

On his shoulder stood a blue-black bird, as big as a falcon, with extremely sharp eyes, making people dare not look at it.

"Ancestor Qingcang!"

"Greetings to Ancestor Qingcang!"

The faces of the people around him changed drastically and they saluted in a hurry.

Li An was also shocked. The ancestor of the Jiang family, Jiang Qingcang.

This man is the strongest among the three Yuanying ancestors of the Jiang family, and controls the fourth-level Qingyan Divine Bird.

His personal appearance is enough to show the importance he attaches to this matter. Li An also bowed slightly to show his respect for the Yuanying Great Cultivator, and more importantly, to express his attitude.

It shows that he is not determined to fight to the death, and there is still room for easing the situation.

"Report to the ancestor, this person is scheming and plotting to plot against my Jiang family's divine bird. He really deserves to be killed..."

Although Jiang Rilan was immersed in the grief of Jiang Ruoxu's death, he also forced himself to report.

"Deserve to be killed?"

Jiang Qingcang said coldly, "Don't let hatred blind your eyes."

"As the head of the family, you should consider the overall situation of the family--"

This remark was like thunder, which startled Jiang Rilan suddenly. He was definitely not ordinary. Just a few words had made him suddenly enlightened. He nodded repeatedly, "The ancestor taught you right, it was Rilan who was confused--"

After speaking, he gave an order: "The formation is at rest!"

The several cultivators who controlled the killing formation of Lingyun Peak were ordered to calm the formation.

Li An also breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, the bet was still right.

…

"What do you think? Are these conditions acceptable?"

After a long time.

In the Jiang family's main hall, Jiang Qingcang, who was sitting at the top, looked at Li An indifferently.

Even the head of the family, Jiang Rilan, could only sit beside him. He didn't say a word during the whole process, but his heart was quite complicated.

The conditions that the ancestor gave to Wu Qin...

It can be said to be very generous!

It's okay not to kill Wu Qin.

As an exception, he was made an elder of the Jiang family's non-surname guardian, and all the treatment was the same as that of the Jiang family's Zhendan elder.

Including: allowing Li An to own his own property in the Jiang family. If Li An can marry the daughter of the Jiang family, his descendants can compete for the core seeds of the Jiang family in the future and may become the head of the family...

Complete preferential treatment!

Li An frowned slightly and pondered, "What does Wu need to pay?"

"The treatment is the same as that of my Jiang family elders, and the responsibilities are naturally the same. Protect Jiang family and share weal and woe."

Jiang Qingcang said calmly, "There is another point. The Blue Flame Divine Bird belongs to you, but it also belongs to my Jiang family. The offspring bred by the divine bird also belong to the Jiang family!"

Everything is clear.

In fact, the conditions given by Jiang Qingcang mean one thing: let Li An, a foreigner, truly become a member of the Jiang family.

Not to kill Li An, but to absorb him!

After all, Li An's current cultivation is already extraordinary. The cultivation of a real Dan Zhenren, plus the control of a Jindan divine bird... is enough to get the attention of the Jiang family.

Of course, the most important thing is the divine bird.

Li An pondered for a long time.

He actually had no choice at all.

This is the goodwill released by the Jiang family, and it is also Li An's only choice. Refuse?

That means the fish dies and the net is not broken.

"I agree, but I also have a request--"

Li An spoke slowly.

"Speak."

Li An said: "Jiang Ruoli and Jiang Ruoxu's marriage ends from now on, and I will continue to accept her as my apprentice--and Erniu."

"If I can cure her, she will become the young master of the Jiang family--this is what she deserves!"

Jiang Rilan's descendants had just passed away, and Li An's unreasonable request made him angry--even if Jiang Ruoxu died, someone could be found among his descendants to take over the position of young master. Li An's request was to get involved in the Jiang family's power feast?

But Jiang Qingcang nodded slightly, "Okay, Rilan, you have heard the request of Wu Protector, you go and do it."

Jiang Rilan's face was slightly ugly, "Yes, ancestor."

"Then let's do it, Wu Protector, when do you think it is more appropriate to let the divine bird reproduce?" Jiang Qingcang looked at Li An indifferently.

Li An pondered, "The divine bird has just formed a pill, and its cultivation is unstable. I think... it will be safest to wait until its cultivation is equivalent to the middle and late stages of the pill formation?"

"Okay, then it's settled."

Jiang Qingcang said: "I still need to retreat, and the rest of the things will be handled by Wu Protector and Ri Lan."

After that, he stood up and left.

Li An and Jiang Ri Lan both stood up to see him off.

"Congratulations to Wu Protector for becoming the first guardian elder from a different family in the history of my Jiang family..."

Jiang Ri Lan showed a hypocritical smile and congratulated Li An.

"You are too polite, patriarch... Please pay attention to the matter of Ruoli and Erniu."

"Of course, by the way, the guardian elders of our clan all have their own mountains to practice. How about Wu Protector going to Nanling Peak?"

Nanling Peak is one of the core areas of the Jiang family. Before this, it was owned by Elder Jiang Ribai.

"Okay!"

Li An agreed. He knew that Jiang arranged him in Nanling Peak for day and night surveillance, but it was not important.

As long as he could stabilize the current situation, he could slowly plan and find an opportunity to leave in the future. There was no need to rush.

…

Jiang Rilan gave the order, and Nanling Peak was quickly cleaned up, and Li An went to live there.

At the same time, he sent a message to Jiang, announcing Li An's status.

This caused a shock to the entire Jiang family. It was the first time that an outsider became a guardian elder. Jiang's family had some complaints, but when they knew that it was decided by Elder Jiang Qingcang himself, no one dared to say anything.

…

A few days later.

"Ancestor, everything has been done."

The head of the family, Jiang Rilan, came to the retreat of the ancestor Jiang Qingcang to report.

"Yes."

Jiang Qingcang was very calm.

"Grandmaster, Wu Qin is a man of deep thoughts and ambitions. After becoming a guardian, he actually wants to interfere with the training of the future head of our clan. I'm afraid we can't tolerate him..." Jiang Rilan reported carefully. In fact, he didn't care about Li An's other requests. But Li An proposed to cure Jiang Ruoli and let Jiang Ruoli be the future head of the clan... This touched his core interests. Even if Jiang Ruoxu died, his lineage wanted to find someone else to be the young master, and there was someone. But Jiang Qingcang answered

Promised Li An...

"You have to think about the overall situation,"

Jiang Qingcang said, "The more he interferes with the core power of my Jiang family, the better..."

"Because in this way, he will gradually become a real member of my Jiang family."

Jiang Rilan was puzzled.

"If Jiang Ruoli really becomes the future head of the family, he may be able to be truly used by my Jiang family, right?"

In Jiang Qingcang's view, it doesn't matter who is the head of the family.

Li An's request, on the contrary, hit the mark.

If Li An has no desires, then he really needs to be cautious. Since Li An wants to participate in the power struggle of the Jiang family, it is precisely an opportunity to gradually guide Li An into the Jiang family system.

"I know what you think in your heart,"

Jiang Qingcang glanced at Jiang Rilan coldly, "However, I allow you to privately cultivate people from your lineage as candidates for the young master."

Jiang Rilan was a little confused.

"I promised Wu Qin to let him train Jiang Ruoli, just to give him an idea, so that he would not easily have other ideas..."

"But outsiders are outsiders after all. When the divine bird successfully reproduces, then we can kill him..."

Jiang Qingcang's words were cold.

Jiang Rilan suddenly realized!

He was overjoyed. This meant that the day when the divine bird successfully reproduced was the day when Li An died!

After all, it was not easy for an outsider to participate in the Jiang family business.

And with the growth rate of the divine bird, it should take only a few decades to successfully breed... It was completely worth waiting.

"Grandpa is wise!"

He said respectfully, and then retreated.

...

In the blink of an eye, Li An had been at Nanling Peak for ten days.

During this period, he was in the limelight.

Jiang did a good job. As Jiang Qingcang said, all treatments were no different from those of other real Dan Zhenren, and even half a level higher. Nanling Peak has a third-level spiritual vein for cultivation, and there are no less than 300 maids and servants who serve him, the "peak master".

The pills, spirit stones, resources, etc. delivered every month are also very generous.

Generally speaking, a true elixir cultivator needs about 300 low-level spirit stones a day for daily cultivation.

Li An is a golden elixir cultivator, and his golden elixir is stronger than ordinary golden elixir, so the daily consumption alone can be as high as 1,000 low-level spirit stones!

This amount is very terrifying.

A foundation-building cultivator with skills can earn 1,000 low-level spirit stones a month.

What a true elixir cultivator consumes in one day, a foundation-building cultivator needs to work hard for a month to save up.

And this is just the normal daily consumption.

As long as the cultivation method is a little more peculiar, such as Li An's cultivation of the Golden Collection Technique... it will cost a lot more.

It is impossible to make it without 30,000 to 50,000 low-level spirit stones a month!

Not to mention, the spiritual medicines and materials needed by the True People are extremely expensive.

This is why after reaching the True Dan level, the True People generally create forces and sects.

To support their own practice.

Even the casual cultivators like the White Tiger True People have established the White Tiger City to exploit the lower-level cultivators and obtain cultivation resources.

There are very few casual cultivators at the True People level!

Staying in the Jiang family is still the right decision at present. At least you can use the resources of the Jiang family to consolidate your own cultivation first...

"Report to the Peak Master, Miss Ruoli and Mr. Erniu are here to pay their respects!"

A beautiful maid came to report.

...
