Chapter 673: Seeing Lan Nianbing

As for the matter of identity, Wang Jianqiang did not have many worries.

Although he participated in both wars where Out-of-Boundary Cultivators attacked Wenxian City.

But the first time he participated using the identity and appearance of Ye Lingyun; the one who ruined the Out-of-Boundary Cultivators' plan was Ye Lingyun, so what did that have to do with Wang Jianqiang?

Although he fought with his true appearance the second time, all the Out-of-Boundary Cultivators he encountered had already turned into his Humanoid Great Medicine.

Therefore.

He was not worried that his identity would be exposed.

In the time that followed.

Zhou Qingyu went into seclusion to prepare for the Beast Taming Sect assessment and did not come to the Medicine Garden again.

Wang Jianqiang was also happy to have the peace and quiet.

He remained in seclusion the entire time.

In the dim and simple thatched cottage.

Wang Jianqiang sat cross-legged, his hands constantly changing seals.

Before him.

A Pill Furnace floated in mid-air, with blue flames burning inside the furnace.

At a certain moment.

A rich medicinal fragrance suddenly diffused from within the furnace.

Wang Jianqiang hooked his finger.

A five-colored pill shot out from the Pill Furnace and was pinched in his palm.

The pill was the size of a dragon's eye, perfectly round, with a surface as smooth as a mirror, as if made from exquisite jade.

On the surface, the five colors of gold, green, blue, red, and brown were evenly distributed and clearly demarcated.

Dividing the pill into five areas of equal size.

It was incredibly miraculous.

The Perfect Huanling Pill, it was done!

Wang Jianqiang looked at the pill in his hand, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

It had now been a month and a half since Zhou Qingyu picked the Spirit Medicine and left.

Just yesterday, his cultivation had reached Foundation Establishment Stage Perfection.

This Phantom Spirit Pill was exactly the pill he had obtained during the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace assessment.

After consuming this pill.

A False Golden Core could be formed within the body.

One only needed to continuously fill the False Golden Core with Spiritual Power, and the False Golden Core could continuously transform from virtual to real.

Once the False Golden Core was completely solidified, it could undergo a transformation on its own.

Naturally transforming into a true Golden Core.

When he first broke through to the Golden Core Stage, it was this Phantom Spirit Pill he relied on.

He waved his hand to put away the Pill Furnace.

He silently regulated his breathing for a while, restoring his state to its peak.

Then he swallowed the Phantom Spirit Pill in one gulp.

After entering his mouth, the five-colored pill directly turned into a five-colored stream of energy, circulating throughout his entire body.

Finally, it rushed into his dantian.

Transforming into a semi-transparent five-colored pill.

Afterward, he mobilized the Spiritual Power in his body and surged it into the semi-transparent pill.

A trace of imperceptible solidification immediately appeared on that semi-transparent pill.

As his Spiritual Power continued to be injected, that imperceptible solidified portion continued to expand and spread at a slow speed...

Half a month later.

Wang Jianqiang stopped practicing.

One-third of the area of the semi-transparent pill in his body had completely solidified.

He let out a long breath, stood up, and walked out of the thatched cottage.

Just a moment ago, he had sensed Zhou Qingyu's arrival through the Formation.

The moment he saw Zhou Qingyu, his expression stirred.

Has her cultivation broken through to the Golden Core Mid Stage?

"Greetings, Third Miss."

He remained calm on the surface and bowed respectfully to Zhou Qingyu.

Zhou Qingyu nodded, "No need for formalities. I came today because there is one thing I need to inform you of."

Wang Jianqiang's heart stirred.

Zhou Qingyu continued, "In three days, I will leave the Zhou Family and head to the Beast Taming Sect to participate in the Beast Taming Sect's entrance assessment. Prepare yourself and come with me."

As expected, she was going to the Beast Taming Sect.

Wang Jianqiang smiled inwardly, bowed to Zhou Qingyu with a face full of excitement, "Thank you, Third Miss."

Zhou Qingyu nodded, then seemed to have thought of something, "By the way, you previously said your family lived in a mountain village outside the city."

"It is too dangerous outside the city. Let them enter the city; the Zhou Family will settle them in well."

A flash of emotion crossed Wang Jianqiang's face, then he said firmly, "Third Miss, a few days ago I already entrusted someone to bring some resources to my family."

"Those resources should be enough for them to live out their lives in Biyu City."

"Being taken in by the Zhou Family and being able to work for Third Miss is already a tremendous favor bestowed upon me by the Zhou Family."

"If I were to trouble the Zhou Family to arrange for my family as well, wouldn't that be being far too insatiable?"

"Therefore, my family must not trouble the Zhou Family any further."

Upon hearing this, a flash of appreciation crossed Zhou Qingyu's eyes.

She smiled slightly, "Rest assured, arranging for your family is only a small matter; besides, I have already promised you, so how could I go back on my word?"

Wang Jianqiang stubbornly shook his head, "I appreciate Third Miss's good intentions, but my family are all mortals; being able to live in Biyu City and spend their lives in peace is enough."

Seeing Wang Daniu, who had never disobeyed her before, refuse her so rarely.

Zhou Qingyu not only felt no anger, but the look of appreciation in her eyes grew even stronger.

Content with his lot, not greedy.

Such qualities are truly rare.

She nodded gently, "Since that is the case, then I shall not force it."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang breathed a secret sigh of relief in his heart.

Afterward, Zhou Qingyu did not linger.

She left the Medicine Garden and entered the archway where the Spirit Pool was located.

It seemed she intended to improve herself as much as possible before participating in the Beast Taming Sect assessment.

Wang Jianqiang turned and returned to the thatched cottage.

His consciousness entered the Spirit God Ring.

Xiaobai was absorbing the Heavenly Spirit Soul Liquid, and Wang Jianqiang could perceive that her aura had already begun to fluctuate slightly.

This was a sign that her cultivation was about to improve.

She had already recovered to the Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection, and if she improved further.

It would be the Integration Stage.

He had been prepared for this for a long time, so he did not feel too surprised.

Sensing Wang Jianqiang's entry.

Xiaobai stopped practicing and looked over at him, "What are you here for again?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled and got straight to the point.

"Xiaobaibai, is there any way to use a Concealment Technique, preferably one that can deceive a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Xiaobai showed a thoughtful expression and took out a White Jade Pendant.

"This jade is a small item I obtained back in the day; it has the effect of concealing one's aura."

"There are no restrictions on the user's cultivation; it can be activated as long as it is bound to its owner."

"However, it can only deceive up to Void Refinement Stage cultivators."

"It can only deceive up to Void Refinement Stage cultivators?"

Wang Jianqiang pondered for a moment, then nodded, "That will do."

Concealing his cultivation was just to avoid others discovering his unreasonable speed of breakthrough and inviting trouble.

Although there are many experts in the Jie Wai Xiu Xian Jie.

Great Vehicle Stage cultivators are still considered top-tier experts, and their numbers are few.

He was only joining the Beast Taming Sect as a servant of Zhou Qingyu, so he might not even meet one.

And even if he did, the other party might not necessarily pay attention to a lowly servant like him.

Being able to deceive Void Refinement Stage cultivators was enough.

Wang Jianqiang withdrew his consciousness from the Spirit God Ring.

He flipped his palm.

He took out the Jade Pendant he had obtained from Xiaobai.

He permeated it with his Spirit Sense to refine it.

Not long after.

The refinement of the Jade Pendant was successful.

He put away the Magic Treasure he had previously used for his Concealment Technique.

With a thought, the Jade Pendant turned into a stream of light and merged into his body.

Immediately.

A strange power permeated his body.

This power possessed a powerful shielding effect, and its concealment strength was far greater than the Magic Treasure he had used before for his Concealment Technique.

The two were completely incomparable.

Afterward, he moved his mind.

He controlled his displayed cultivation to the Qi Refining First Layer.

Then, he revealed a smile.

Done.

Three days later.

Wang Jianqiang received a voice transmission from Zhou Qingyu and left the Medicine Garden.

When he walked out of the gate of Zhou Qingyu's courtyard, he saw Zhou Qingyu's figure head-on.

Behind her were three old men.

Among the three old men, one was at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and the other two were both at the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

"Greetings, Third Miss."

"Greetings, three seniors."

Wang Jianqiang came before Zhou Qingyu and spoke respectfully.

The three old men nodded indifferently without speaking.

Zhou Qingyu looked at Wang Jianqiang, "Let's go."

Having said that.

She waved her palm, and a Spirit Boat appeared in the air.

Then she pointed at Wang Jianqiang.

An invisible force suddenly emerged around Wang Jianqiang, and under the guidance of this invisible force, he flew onto the Spirit Boat.

At the same time.

Zhou Qingyu and the three old men also arrived on the Spirit Boat one after another.

Zhou Qingyu installed some Spirit Stones into the Formation on the Spirit Boat.

The Formation was activated, and the Spirit Boat immediately flew into the air.

It flew out of the Zhou Family.

It flew toward the outside of Biyu City.

"Pavilion Master, Zhou Qingyu is piloting the Spirit Boat and has flown outside Biyu City."

Fengxue Pavilion.

Sun Hulong heard his subordinate's report, and a flash of coldness crossed his eyes.

Just as he expected, this Zhou Qingyu was indeed going to participate in this Entry assessment of the Beast Taming Sect.

If Zhou Qingyu stayed within Biyu City, he would not dare to make a move.

But now...

He sneered and was about to send a message.

Sun Rou, who was to the side, suddenly spoke with a face full of hatred, "Father, I want to go along."

"That Zhou Qingyu ruined my reputation, so I also want to have someone ruin her reputation and watch her suffer every humiliation with my own eyes."

Sun Hulong frowned.

According to his plan, he only intended to dispatch death soldiers he had secretly cultivated to kill Zhou Qingyu.

These death soldiers had never shown their faces in Biyu City, and no one knew them.

In this way, regardless of whether the plan succeeded.

It would not implicate the Fengxue Pavilion.

But seeing his daughter's overwhelming hatred, if he did not let her have her way, he feared her state of mind would not be able to calm down.

It was even possible that an Inner Demon would be left behind because of this.

Thinking of this.

He sighed.

In any case, this was a calculated strike against the unprepared, and the chance of the plan failing was nearly zero.

Since Rou'er wanted to go, then let her go.

After Zhou Qingyu piloted the Spirit Boat and left Biyu City.

It flew straight in one direction.

Because there were people around, Wang Jianqiang did not cultivate.

This day.

He was sitting cross-legged in a room on the Spirit Boat, and in his boredom, he seemed to have thought of something.

His consciousness entered his Soul Sea.

Within the boundless Soul Sea.

Two bubble-like objects floated and sank.

These bubble-like objects were precisely the two Soul Prisons.

In these two Soul Prisons, a blue-haired woman and an old man were imprisoned respectively.

The blue-haired woman was named Lan Nianbing, whom he had encountered when he entered the Fox Queen Mansion to look for Tushan Youyou during the Immortal Palace Assessment at the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

This woman had once suppressed the Fox Queen and was suspected to be an Out-of-Boundary Cultivator.

The old man was the Ancient Cultivator who had once possessed a silver wolf, whom he had encountered when he went to an Ancient Ruins to rescue Jiang Xuan.

This person knew Lan Nianbing and was also suspected to be an Out-of-Boundary Cultivator.

Back then, this old man had charged into his Soul Sea, baring fangs and brandishing claws, wanting to perform a Possession on him.

He could be said to have been full of vitality.

But under the consumption of the Soul Prison, this vitality had long since vanished.

Now, his entire being seemed as if he had been hollowed out.

He had lost his spirit.

Wang Jianqiang swept his gaze indifferently over him.

Then it fell upon the other Soul Prison.

Lan Nianbing's condition was much worse than the old man's.

At this point, her Soul Power had weakened to the extreme.

To reduce the depletion of her Soul Power, she had voluntarily entered a state of deep slumber.

If she were to be kept imprisoned any longer, it would not take long.

Her Soul would likely be completely extinguished.

"This woman was very arrogant back then; I wonder if she knows she was wrong now?"

Wang Jianqiang pondered for a moment.

He condensed a consciousness projection and arrived before the Soul Prison where Lan Nianbing was imprisoned.

"Beauty, how is it?"

"Have you thought it through?"

His voice entered the Soul Prison.

Lan Nianbing's closed eyes trembled, then slowly opened.

A pair of ice-blue eyes were revealed.

At this moment.

These beautiful ice-blue eyes had lost their luster, revealing a deep sense of weakness within.

She looked up at the sky.

At this moment.

The sky in the Soul Prison, which was always gray and dark, had become transparent at some point.

Through the boundary of the Soul Prison, she saw Wang Jianqiang outside.

Immediately after.

A glimmer of light flashed in her dim eyes, and the desire to survive in them instantly intensified to the extreme.

"Daoist Friend, you can ask whatever you want; I... I will tell you everything."

Her voice was very pleasant, but extremely weak, and it was laced with a hint of grievance.

This bastard had finally remembered her.

She had long since surrendered~

You damn well should have come back to ask sooner.

To think it took so many years for you to appear!

Fortunately.

Before her Soul Body completely collapsed, this guy finally remembered her.

Hearing Lan Nianbing soften her stance.

A look of satisfaction flashed in Wang Jianqiang's eyes.

He looked at Lan Nianbing's Soul Body, which had almost turned into thin mist and seemed ready to dissipate at any moment.

His gaze flickered.

He asked a question he had been curious about for a long time.

"What is going on with your Soul Body? Why does it feel like a real body when touched?"

Speaking of this, he rubbed his hands together and grinned, "Can I, hehe..."

Lan Nianbing subconsciously retreated a few steps, her face full of vigilance.

"It seems you are still not convinced."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head upon seeing this, "Since that is the case, then I shall come to see you another day; take care of yourself."

After speaking.

In Lan Nianbing's field of vision, the transparent sky quickly turned dim.

Wang Jianqiang's figure was quickly obscured.

Seeing this.

Lan Nianbing was startled, "Daoist Friend, wait, I will speak, I will tell you everything..."

See you another day?

Are you kidding me?

Last time, this bastard said "see you another day" and almost didn't let her survive.

If he did that again, she would definitely lose her life.

After her voice rang out, the sky, which had almost returned to being gray and dark, paused.

Then it quickly cleared up and became transparent again.

Wang Jianqiang's figure appeared once more.

He looked down at Lan Nianbing inside the Soul Prison, his expression indifferent and incomparably majestic.

"I always keep my word."

"However, I have always appreciated Cultivators with strong ambition."

"Your desire to survive is very strong, and it has successfully moved me."

"As a reward."

"I will give you another chance."

"However, you must remember, this is the very last chance."

Lan Nianbing nodded hurriedly, "Thank you, Daoist Friend, I understand."

Wang Jianqiang nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, now, answer my question."
