Phi-Fic Chapter 55 Two Crazy Women
Chapter 55 Two Crazy Women
"Slay the dragons of heaven, annihilate the immortals of heaven, uphold justice for the world, and bring peace to the people of the world!"
Upon hearing Li Lan's words, Mr. Zhu was stunned.
He witnessed the tragic deaths of his family members at a young age and was determined to take revenge. He thought that he would live his life solely for revenge, but upon hearing Li Lan's words, his heart was still slightly moved.
"Li Guan is mean-spirited, treacherous, and cunning. If he were to ascend the throne, who knows how many unfortunate children like Brother Zhu would appear in this world..."
Li Lan slowly spoke: "Just as Brother Zhu said, among all the civil and military officials and heroes in the capital, in my opinion, perhaps only Brother Zhu has any compassion for the common people."
"Brother Li's noble character is truly admirable,"
Zhu Xianchou sighed softly and shook his head, saying, "If Li Guan does not ascend the throne, the path to immortality will be difficult to open. Not only will my revenge be hopeless, but the world will also face only death."
"Brother Li probably doesn't know that the Immortal Path actually opens once every certain period of time in the history of the Abyss Realm."
"Because the demon realm attacks periodically, without the help of immortals, the Abyss Realm will inevitably become food for the demon realm..."
He shook his head and said, "This point must not be changed!"
The biggest difference between the two lies in this point!
No matter how despicable or vile Li Guan may be, he is the only person who could possibly cultivate the True Dragon Technique and the only hope to open the path to immortality.
So, everyone had no choice but to accept it.
But Li Lan smiled slightly and said, "What if I told you that His Highness Li Yue could also master the True Dragon Technique?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xianchou was immediately shocked and exclaimed, "Impossible!"
The True Dragon Skill is incredibly difficult to master. Many martial arts grandmasters have read it and deemed it a useless skill. The royal family has been studying it for countless years, but they have no way to master it. If the Taiyi Sect hadn't found the ancient manual, Li Guan probably wouldn't have had a chance!
"Brother Zhu should know that, in addition to sufficient resources, the most important thing for cultivating the True Dragon Technique is to obtain the assistance of human fortune."
Li Lan said, "I originally thought that Princess Li Yue would never be able to cultivate the True Dragon Technique, but who would have thought that she would obtain extraordinary luck and finally be able to activate the True Dragon Technique..."
"Did His Highness Li Yue receive the fortune of humanity?"
Zhu Xianchou frowned and said, "Now all the civil and military officials in the court have pledged their allegiance to Prince Li Guan, and many geniuses in the martial arts world are also loyal to him. Where does Prince Li Yue's good fortune come from?"
Li Lan smiled leisurely: "Does Brother Zhu think that the fate of the world rests solely on the civil and military officials and martial arts masters in the capital?"
"Do you know why the King of Annam implemented the Ten New Policies and invited the poor to a banquet on his wedding day, distributing porridge and rice to them?"
"Because the destiny of humanity is not borne by those hypocritical beasts in the halls of power, nor by martial arts masters or sect leaders; the true destiny lies in the starving corpses by the roadside and the refugees in the wilderness!"
He said, word by word: "When the people are at peace, the nation's fortune will flourish; when the people suffer, the nation's fortune will collapse!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xianchou was greatly shocked. Li Lan's words were truly enlightening, and in an instant, his entire understanding seemed to have been refreshed!
He came from a poor background and had experienced a tragedy, so Li Lan's words instantly struck a chord with him, and helped him understand many of the questions he had not been able to figure out over the years!
"When the people are at peace, the nation's fortune gathers; when the people suffer, the nation's fortune collapses..."
He murmured, took a deep breath, and said, "Brother Li Lan, is what you're saying... really true? Can His Highness Li Yue truly cultivate the True Dragon Technique?"
His voice even trembled slightly.
Li Lan said, "It is absolutely true... Originally, it was a top secret that His Highness Li Yue was able to cultivate the True Dragon Technique, but I trust Brother Zhu, so I told him frankly."
In Li Lan's view, Zhu Xianchou was indeed a rare talent.
He possesses exceptional wisdom and unparalleled resilience, and most importantly, he also masters the art of alchemy originating from the celestial realm…
Such a person, if he could be won over, would be a great asset.
However, it is not easy to win over Zhu Xianchou; Zhu Xianchou must see the true value of Li Yue.
Zhu Xianchou's face was more complicated than ever before. He finally sighed deeply and said:
"Zhu has repeatedly tried to kill Brother Li, yet Brother Li still believes Zhu is trustworthy..."
He wasn't stupid; he naturally understood that his life and death were now entirely in Li Lan's hands. Li Lan's best course of action was to kill him to silence him and eliminate any future trouble.
But Li Lan told him all of this instead.
He also sensed something: respect!
He seemed to have made a great decision, and finally looked at Li Lan, saying solemnly, "Brother Li, you take the King and Queen of Annam away to take refuge for now. Li Guan is already on his way. I will deal with him."
This single sentence has already made our stance clear!
The roles of friend and foe have changed.
"No,"
Li Lan shook his head, "If that's the case, Brother Zhu will be suspected by Li Guan, which is not appropriate."
"You go first, I'll handle things here."
Zhu Xianchou's expression was slightly complicated. He was a smart man and naturally knew that what he should do now was to continue to lie low by Li Guan's side. Therefore, it was not advisable to expose himself at this juncture. So he stood up, bowed to Li Lan, and said, "Brother Li, take care!"
After saying that, he turned to leave, but then suddenly said, "Brother Li, I don't know how you cured the Nine Medicines Breaking Yuan Powder, but this medicine is used in the Immortal Realm. You forcibly cured it several times, so there must have been some losses. This is the Zhu family's alchemy technique. You might as well take a look at it. It may be of some benefit to you."
He looked quite guilty and said, "Neither the Nine-Medicine Breaking Yuan Powder nor the Rejuvenating Heartbreak Powder that the Queen was tainted with can be refined into antidotes in this Abyss Realm... I, Zhu, have committed a sin, yet I have caused Brother Li to suffer. I am sorry!"
After saying that, he took out a yellowed old book from his pocket and handed it to Li Lan, saying, "After you finish reading this book, Brother Li, please burn it."
After saying that, he pushed open the door and left, stepping into the starry night, his figure disappearing without a trace.
Inside the study, Li Lan looked at the book in his hand, on which were written four large characters: "True Explanation of Elixirs".
Li Lan's heart stirred.
This book was kept close to Zhu Xianchou's body. It was a family heirloom of the Zhu family, originating from the immortal realm, and was extremely rare. Yet, Zhu Xianchou gave it directly to Li Lan.
This clearly shows that in his heart, he has truly regarded Li Lan as a "fellow Daoist"!
He glanced through it and found that the methods of alchemy and medicine making were truly unprecedented for Li Lan, including all the methods for making immortal pills and spiritual medicines.
Priceless!
Li Lan glanced at it and realized that the Nine Medicines Breaking Yuan Powder, which was feared by martial artists, was actually just a poisonous pill produced when the "Nine Spirits Pill" of the Immortal Realm failed to be refined!
The "Rejuvenating Heartbreak Powder" that Zhu Xianchou mentioned earlier is an extremely potent aphrodisiac that is effective even for low-level cultivators, and is extremely difficult for mortals to resist!
Zhu Xianchou gave her this poison clearly to make her unable to resist, so that Li Guan could take all her vital essence!
If one is poisoned by this, one must engage in sexual intercourse; otherwise, one will surely die from a broken intestine!
Li Lan frowned.
He put the books away, thought for a moment, pushed open the door and went out, first finding Yue Ran!
"Young master... I can't move."
Yue Ran was also poisoned. Upon seeing Li Lan, she hurriedly spoke.
Li Lan said, "No rush."
So the spiritual energy was slowly transmitted.
In order to improve his cultivation level, Li Lan had only a little spiritual energy left. Fortunately, when he left the capital, Lin Ruobing gave him two Azure Cloud Fruits, which were able to replenish his spiritual energy and neutralize the toxins.
This time, however, Zhu Xianchou learned from his previous experience on Qiudao Mountain, so he greatly increased the dosage of poison, making the detoxification process very costly.
But he did not hate Zhu Xianchou because of this. Before tonight, the two were still mortal enemies, so how could he not go all out?
The spiritual energy was transferred, and Yue Ran's inner energy began to circulate. She regained her strength and couldn't help but be extremely excited: "Young Master... you can cure the poison of the Nine Medicines Breaking Yuan Powder? You are really amazing!"
"Someone is coming to the Prince's mansion. You must take action and defeat them."
Li Lan smiled slightly and told Yue Ran about his plan.
Yue Ran nodded obediently.
……
"This is the so-called Annam Prince's Palace?"
It was late at night, and the streets were deserted. The red lanterns of the Annam Prince's Palace emitted a dim light.
Li Guan's carriage had arrived. Looking at Li Yue's old and simple mansion, he was full of sneer and said, "Truly a disgrace to the royal family."
He calmly got out of the car and said, "You wait here, I'll go in."
The thought that Lin Ruobing should be writhing in bed, waiting for his arrival, fueled his burning desire.
He also took out a pill from his sleeve and swallowed it.
This is the "Golden Spear Eternal Solidification Pill" refined by Mr. Zhu; it can be used seventy or eighty times a night without any problem...
"Squeak—"
But at that very moment, the gates of the Prince's mansion suddenly opened.
The door opened, but no one was there.
Li Guan stopped abruptly, his brow furrowing.
"You go and see."
He became wary and spoke to a top-tier expert beside him.
The expert moved swiftly, arriving at the gate in the blink of an eye. He took a step forward, but suddenly let out a scream and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily in front of the carriage, where he died instantly!
"what?!"
Everyone's expression changed drastically.
Li Guan frowned even more deeply. Could there really be someone with the power to take action within this Prince's mansion?
"on!"
He spoke in a deep voice.
Since we're already here, and we've already used up all our "Golden Spear Eternal Pills," even if there are some unexpected events, we still have to go in!
Instantly, four or five experts rushed forward from him, side by side, and charged through the gate. But just like the man before, they screamed and flew out one by one!
The group crashed to the ground, their eyes blinded by the silver needles and their hearts shattered.
Upon seeing this, Li Guan was also filled with fear and involuntarily took a step back.
"Such formidable skill, and such deadly needle technique!"
The old woman who was a protector of the Taiyi Sect next to him frowned, brandished her wooden staff, and shouted, "I want to see what you're capable of!"
Although she was old, her speed and strength were truly extraordinary. She created a gust of wind and arrived at the gate. Her wooden staff was inserted first, imbued with her inner energy.
In the darkness behind the door, a dark figure flashed by, and her wooden cane was instantly gripped. A surge of internal energy rushed towards her through the cane.
The old woman's expression changed, and she resisted with all her might, but the strength of this internal energy was truly overwhelming. She held onto her dantian for only a moment, and then, like a dam bursting, her heart meridian was about to be shattered. Without hesitation, she abandoned her wooden staff, took a deep breath, and leaped out.
She landed safely on the street, but a mouthful of blood she couldn't suppress finally spurted out.
"Grandma Mu!"
When Li Guan saw this, his expression truly changed, and he exclaimed incredulously, "How is this possible!"
Granny Mu is a top-tier expert, even surpassing Zuo Tianlong in skill level!
Shouldn't everyone in this palace be poisoned by the Nine Medicines Breaking Yuan Powder?
How can there be such a master who can use violence?
At that moment, a beautiful figure appeared at the gate. She carried Granny Mu's cane, smiled slightly, and said, "A guardian elder of the Taiyi Sect? It seems he's nothing special."
When Granny Mu saw her, she immediately frowned: "You are Yue Ran?!"
Zuo Tianlong's death made Yue Ran famous throughout the capital.
The fact that the Grandmaster's maid's martial arts skills surpassed those of the Taiyi Sect's protectors had already become a sensation in the region!
"It turned out to be you!"
Li Guan was instantly enraged. He remembered that on Seeking the Dao Mountain, Lin Ruoxue had been unaffected by the Nine Medicines Breaking Yuan Powder, ruining his grand plan...
Although Lin Ruoxue has now sided with him, she never expected that one of her maids would have such abilities.
Another crushing defeat?!
He was absolutely furious, and wished he could rush into the palace...
But he dared not.
He knew that as long as Yue Ran stood here... unless Grandmaster Lin Ruoxue came in person, it was probably impossible for ordinary top-tier experts to get through!
……
Simultaneously.
After handing the gate over to Yue Ran, Li Lan returned home with peace of mind.
With precedent set by Yue Ran, who benefits from the reputation of being "Lin Ruoxue's maid," no matter how strong she performs, people often won't doubt her abilities and will only marvel at the invincibility of a Grandmaster.
Therefore, Li Lan rescued her first, hoping she would intimidate the enemy.
As soon as Li Lan arrived outside the bridal chamber, he could already hear the seductive sounds coming from inside...
"Lin Ruobing, calm down, calm down..."
This is Li Yue's voice.
However, Li Yue's voice at this moment seemed to have turned into... a woman's voice?
Li Lan didn't have time to think and pushed the door open to enter.
Then he saw a scene that left him stunned...
The eldest prince, Li Yue, has disappeared.
Inside the bridal chamber were two stunningly beautiful women, entwined naked, a breathtaking sight...
One of them, still lucid, saw Li Lan and cried out in a mixture of shame and panic, "Teacher, please save me... Lin Ruobing has gone mad!"
……
