Chapter 1165: Luotian White Snake Clan

"Do you want to see her?" Xinran Zhanglao asked: "Should we meet here or go outside to meet?"

"It's not safe outside; what if she came prepared, set up a trap in advance, and is waiting for you to come out?"

"It's not unreasonable for Xinran Zhanglao to worry; outside, it's not just her watching this side—there are other presences, well hidden, but Xinran Zhanglao still senses them."

"Qinglong Daoren, needless to say, naturally knows."

"I naturally won't go out; outside is dangerous and unsuitable." Qinglong Daoren shrugged. He wouldn't go out regardless of danger; staying here ensures his safety, and he won't do anything unsafe.

"Should we let her come in?" Xinran Zhanglao worried: "Could this place leak? It's best not to let outsiders know, especially the Luotian White Snake Clan. Who can guarantee she won't tell her people after learning? The Luotian White Snake Clan is not something we can provoke now."

"My suggestion is to ignore her, keep her hanging, and see what she wants to do."

Qinglong Daoren nodded: "Xinran Zhanglao, your suggestion is quite correct, but we can't keep doing this forever, can we?"

"Since she dares to show herself, she naturally wants to talk with us. The Luotian White Snake Clan isn't savage monsters; this woman has no hostility. If we can reach a deal with her, it would benefit us too."

"Whether human or monster beast, to Qinglong Daoren they're the same; as long as a deal can be made, that's enough."

"Trade benefits both sides, so it's natural to do it. Qinglong Daoren himself possesses the Azure Dragon Bloodline; strictly speaking, he counts as a monster beast clan. When he meets that woman outside, his identity likely can't stay hidden—being fellow monster beasts, perhaps…"

Xinran Zhanglao also thought of this; after all, that woman outside doesn't know Qinglong Daoren is a clone of Chen Chuyang, so she might mistake him for her own kind of monster beast, and as fellow monster beasts, their attitudes would naturally differ.

"You're the master here; you decide. If I need to avoid, I can." Xinran Zhanglao saw that Qinglong Daoren wanted to make a deal with the Luotian White Snake Clan to gain more resources.

"Actually, this is normal. Chen Chuyang needs more resources; this place is monster beast territory, under the jurisdiction of the Luotian White Snake Clan. If we can get along with them and complete a trade, it would benefit both sides."

"At least, we won't need to be anxious anymore, nor worry about monster beasts attacking this place."

"At least, we can avoid the Mangshan Demon Palace setting its sights here; their safety issues would greatly decrease."

"There are benefits and drawbacks; it depends on how that woman outside views them—how she treats them."

"If she's an enemy, perhaps we could just kill her; once inside the formation, she becomes something we can easily control—no matter how strong she is, she can't escape this formation."

"No need to avoid; you can keep doing your work. I'll go meet that woman." Qinglong Daoren thought; he had left Bai Meng hanging for so long, that woman had arrived early, and he knew of her presence.

"Finally, we're meeting; naturally we should talk properly. If we can resolve the issue peacefully, that's best."

"He sensed the sincerity of the Luotian White Snake Clan; Huang Yan could enter this place three or four times, and the woman never blocked him—her sincerity is evident. Qinglong Daoren naturally wants to talk with her face to face."

"Alright." Xinran Zhanglao no longer avoided.

Chen Qinglian and Qi Haoyang didn't care about these matters; they only wanted to cultivate.

Heishanyang stood up, staring at that silhouette outside.

"The Holy Maiden of the Luotian White Snake Clan—this woman is no ordinary person."

"Inside the Mangshan Demon Palace, the Luotian White Snake Clan counts as a core monster beast; their strength is unquestionable."

"If this kid can make a deal with the Luotian White Snake Clan, in the future I won't need to worry about cultivation resources."

Heishanyang thought the success rate was high; after all, this kid Qinglong Daoren inherited Chen Chuyang's pill-refining technique—though not as good as Chen Chuyang, he can still refine sixth-grade elixirs. The Luotian White Snake Clan has plenty of other resources, like various spiritual herbs and materials they disdain, which are exactly what Chen Chuyang needs most.

"In the hands of Qinglong Daoren and Chen Chuyang, everything is treasure, and elixirs are what these monster beasts need most."

"They want an elixir, but obtaining it involves many difficulties; human elixirs rarely reach their hands."

"Elixirs—humans don't even have enough; how could we trade with them? We can't even guard against them in time."

"Humans and monster beasts appear to coexist peacefully, but in reality they monitor each other, mutual distrust."

"But they are an exception."

"Or rather, they're different—not of this world; the more chaotic this world gets, the happier they are."

Qinglong Daoren brought back Bai Meng; the Holy Maiden of the Luotian White Snake Clan, Bai Meng, slightly bowed: "Bai Meng of the Luotian White Snake Clan, greetings, fellow cultivator."

"I am Qinglong; pleased to meet you, Bai Meng." Qinglong Daoren openly displayed everything—everything on Longshe Shan, except special places, could be shown to her.

"Those spiritual herbs, and the management of Longshe Shan, Bai Meng took in at a glance."

"Finally, her gaze fell on Qinglong Daoren's person, sensing the Dragon Might emanating from him—though well concealed, it could still be felt."

"A powerful pressure, a terrifying bloodline pressure—Bai Meng instantly recognized Qinglong Daoren's identity."

"Azure Dragon Bloodline—there are still survivors of the Azure Dragon Clan."

"This person actually carved out a place in the Mangshan Mountain Range."

"Deep down, she let her guard down a little; humans and monster beasts are different, and Qinglong Daoren's monster beast identity let her acknowledge it."

"After all, he's a monster beast—one of her own."

"As for the other humans, Bai Meng can ignore them; it's obvious Qinglong Daoren is the master of this place."

"Fellow cultivator Qinglong, I don't know why you're staying in the Mangshan Mountain Range." Bai Meng asked directly, without any speculation.

"This is the directness of monster beasts—going around in circles, they end up asking nothing."

"I just want to stay here and plant spiritual herbs, nothing else." Qinglong Daoren pointed to all the spiritual herbs on Longshe Shan and said: "You can see, fellow cultivator, I only have spiritual herbs here; I don't concern myself with other affairs of the Mangshan Mountain Range—I just want my own little plot of land."

Bai Meng's eyes narrowed slightly; she wouldn't believe Qinglong Daoren's words.

"I don't know why you're planting so many spiritual herbs, fellow cultivator." Bai Meng glanced; those herbs are quite ordinary—at least inside the Mangshan Mountain Range, they're very common, not heavenly treasures; frankly, you can find them anywhere in the range.

"They're everywhere in the mountains; no need to plant them."

Bai Meng wouldn't show it; instead she asked Qinglong Daoren the reason for doing so.

"What else could it be? Planting spiritual herbs is naturally for making pills." Qinglong Daoren slowly revealed some information, observing Bai Meng's reaction.

Upon hearing that, Bai Meng excitedly asked: "Fellow cultivator, do you still know how to refine pills?"

"I wouldn't dare say I can, but ordinary fourth- and fifth-grade pills are no problem; if you need them, fellow cultivator, I can also refine sixth-grade elixirs."

After saying that, Qinglong Daoren stared at Bai Meng, observing her reaction.

Bai Meng was momentarily stunned, her pupils widened as she stared at Qinglong Daoren before her; at that moment, her heart was filled with great surprise.

"Fellow cultivator, is what you said really true?"
