Chapter 675: Chapter 40: Xiluo Teaching Disciples? Zhongnan Shortcut!

In the blink of an eye, Li Boyang’s steel ship had been docked at Ganqi City for a week.

During this week, Xu Jia arranged everything methodically; whether it was importing or exporting, everything was well-coordinated, just like a normal mountain person would do.

But beneath this facade, Xu Jia was in fact closely monitoring the movements of Ganqi City and the entirety of Changyang Mountain.

Since the existence that stole the Buddha head had already been exposed, he definitely wouldn’t be content with staying quiet.

This was Xu Jia’s experience from multiple encounters with the other party.

Even when there’s no way to avoid it, and nothing can be done, the other party would surely take action.

Given this, when Ganqi City’s staff were relocated, Xu Jia was the first to spot the anomaly.

First, the number of guards greatly increased, then the barrier inspection mechanism was activated.

In just a few days, Ganqi City had identified many people suspected of espionage or smuggling.

Everyone sensed the surge of undercurrent, and some individuals who couldn’t stand the scrutiny opted to leave on the same day the barrier inspection mechanism was launched.

Despite such large-scale actions inevitably attracting inquiries and accountability from various forces,

they did maximize the purity of Ganqi City for the time being.

At the very least, those still in Ganqi City were well aware not to cause any trouble during this period.

Otherwise, if caught in the crossfire, it would truly be a situation without help from heaven or earth.

Of course, corresponding to this was the curiosity from those who sensed the undercurrent about what the Xingtian Clan was up to again.

Were they concerned about the impact on ordinary people?

Considering the Xingtian Clan’s uniformly battle-frenzied nature, everyone definitively dismissed this speculation.

So, were they planning on fishing enforcement secretly?

Yet, this brings forth a new question: what kind of big fish is the Xingtian Clan fishing for, worth such a commotion?

It’s no exaggeration to say that this has even indirectly affected Xingtian City’s diplomacy.

"What exactly is going on?"

Standing timidly beside Xiluo, Xiaoling asked softly, her eyes blinking.

"There’s no need for you to pretend in front of me, I’ve seen many like you."

Without turning her head, Xiluo rubbed Xiaoling’s head with a joyful scold.

To this day, Xiluo finally somewhat understood why Li Boyang liked to rub others’ heads so much, it truly was quite stress-relieving.

Especially observing the expression of the other party wanting to resist but not daring to, it was simply a form of exceptional enjoyment.

"I’m not pretending..."

Before Xiaoling could finish speaking, Xiluo had already cast her gaze far toward Luo Lan.

"Hmph, I’ve also seen many people who lie in front of me."

"I know a little one with more scheming than you, I’ll introduce you next time we meet."

The "little one" Xiluo referred to was naturally Lu Huaijin, as she’s always disliked that girl full of wickedness.

"Do you know why I teach you two cultivation?"

Raising her head bewilderedly, Xiaoling hesitated to speak as she gazed at Xiluo but ultimately didn’t dare to say anything.

Despite the acquaintance time not being too long, even teaching them cultivation was unilateral on her part without getting their consent.

But after these few days of interaction, Xiaoling roughly understood Xiluo’s character.

This is a divine being with great powers, but prone to acting on whims, seldom considering worldly views and concepts.

She believed that Xiluo insisted on teaching them cultivation, and definitely not for any proper reason.

Facts proved that Xiaoling’s thought was indeed correct.

"The answer is simple, I want to win once."

In Xiaoling’s gaze, whether genuinely surprised or feigned, Xiluo suddenly gave a sly smile.

"You and Luo Lan are both talented, but that’s not important to me."

"What’s important is, you both have connections with the guy who stole the Buddha head."

"Luo Lan was a direct influencer of the ’Ganqi City Disorder’ three years ago; his teacher and sister both died in that chaos."

"So, he has enough motive to find the real mastermind behind it."

At this point, Xiluo’s tone slightly paused before turning to smile at Xiaoling.

"As for you?"

"The one who took your grandfather is exactly the real mastermind behind the ’Ganqi City Disorder’ three years ago."

Unexpectedly for Xiluo, after hearing her account, Xiaoling merely blinked blankly.

"Grandfather?"

"What are you saying?"

"I’ve always been an orphan. Where’s a grandfather from?"

Upon Xiaoling’s words, now it was Xiluo’s turn to be dumbfounded.

......................................................

At the same time, under the waterfall nearby.

Luo Lan was sitting cross-legged beneath the waterfall, letting the water pound against his body.

Under the stimulus of physical pain, Luo Lan’s distractions were washed away, replaced by a state where a single thought emerges and countless thoughts disappear.

As Hundred Lands Mountain Range’s ally, Xingtian City never lacked authentic Celestial Human Techniques.

From Refining Essence and Qi to Qi Refining and Divinity Transformation and even Refining Spirit and Returning to Void, there was a complete cultivation process here.

But Luo Lan never thought that this cultivation method, which elders claimed could only be attained through arduous effort, actually had shortcuts.

No longer merely converting the body’s blood and Qi into Life Essence Qi for simply strengthening the flesh.

But treating Life Essence Qi as a variant of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi for casting spells and divine powers.

Hu!

Silently, Body-Protecting Gang Qi automatically formed.

Luo Lan suddenly felt his physical pain disappear; the descending water seemed to consciously bypass him.

Moreover, Luo Lan felt that he seemed to have undergone some evolution at that moment.

The blood and Qi within began to boil...

The flesh’s cells became more active...

Even memories became extraordinarily vivid...

All past matters appeared in his mind one by one, and Xiluo’s pre-meditation advice seemed deeply carved into the brain, including her voice and tone at that time without any discrepancy.

Luo Lan knew this was the Great Achievement Realm in Refining Essence and Qi.

Thus, without hesitation, Luo Lan swallowed the pill under his chin.

Luo Lan knew this was a pill known as "Primordial Spirit Pill," a shortcut for cultivators to quickly form their primordial spirit.

Upon swallowing the pill, the Consciousness Spirit naturally pulsated, and the Primordial Spirit naturally manifested.

The bubbling Life Essence Qi surged within at that moment, and his soul uncontrollably emerged from the Celestial Spirit aperture.

In a daze, Luo Lan instinctively exhaled and inhaled, naturally inducing the gathering of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
