Chapter 294

The silver-white airplane streaked across the sky of Yujing City like a giant bird, and quietly descended at the Western Suburb International Airport in the vast night.

"Finally back."

Walking out of the airport, Zhang Fan took a deep breath; the feeling of home is always relaxed and free, like a tired bird returning to the forest, or floating clouds returning to the mountain.

"The land of the Six Dynasties' golden powder, the blue-shirted competing in elegance... this is Jiangnan."

Qi Delong carried the luggage and followed out.

"Have you never been here?" Zhang Fan asked casually.

"When I was a child, I visited Mount Mao with my sect, but at that time, I didn't have the time to play properly." Qi Dongqiang said first.

"Mount Mao, we were only seven years old at the time." A trace of reminiscence surged in Qi Delong's eyes.

At that time, they were just inconspicuous little Daoist acolytes on Mount Laojun, their soul-aspects had not awakened, naturally they did not have the spirit of the dual-god fusion later, and they were not successors of Mount Laojun.

The two brothers, Qi Delong and Qi Dongqiang, were one body with two gods; when they were young, it did not show, but instead they were weak and sickly, so they were sent to Mount Laojun to cultivate, serving the immortals and gods with their bodies, hoping to receive the protection of heaven.

Because of this, they did not appear amazing when they were young, and were even unknown.

Until later, when the soul-aspect awakened, with two gods in one body, that day, the aptitude of these two brothers amazed the entire Mount Laojun, and from then on, they began their path of unparalleled dominance.

"I have a good friend on Mount Mao; I wonder if you know him?" Zhang Fan whispered.

"Who?"

"Fang Changle!"

"A successor of Mount Mao!?" Qi Delong said in a deep voice.

"I saw him when I was a child." Qi Dongqiang also said: "Although I don't have much of an impression, I heard from my master a few years ago that this successor of Mount Mao is not simple; his soul-aspect mutated, not only integrating the ancestral 【Red Dragon Fire Talisman】 of Mount Mao, but he has even seen the Pure Yang magical treasure of Mount Mao."

Once these words were spoken, even Zhang Fan could not help but reveal a strange expression.

The Red Dragon Fire Talisman is a treasure left by the founder of Mount Mao, and it is extraordinarily miraculous.

Previously, when capturing the Yin Tiger 【Hong Shanjun】, Fang Changle had displayed a wisp of its power, but at that time his realm was not yet complete, and he had not been able to completely integrate his soul-aspect with this spiritual talisman and connect them into one; otherwise, his achievements would be far more than this.

By then, Fang Changle's soul-aspect would be enough to rival the dual-god fusion method of the Qi brothers.

If it were just this, that would be fine, but he had unpredictable opportunities and had actually seen the Pure Yang magical treasure of Mount Mao.

That is a treasure that surpasses the Purple Feather magical treasure, refined from the Pure Yang Limitless Realm, and worshipped for generations by the famous mountains of the Daoist sect, with incense burning continuously.

Such a treasure is hidden in the deep mountains, hidden in the Daoist sect, rarely seen by heaven and earth, and rarely appearing with the sun and moon.

"I have never heard him mention it." Zhang Fan muttered softly.

"The Pure Yang magical treasure is the foundation of a lineage; naturally, he would not say much, otherwise it would be betraying the sect, and heaven and man would punish him together." Qi Delong said lightly.

"Then have you seen the Pure Yang magical treasure of Mount Laojun?" Zhang Fan changed the subject and asked suddenly.

"This..."

Qi Delong hesitated, but Zhang Fan knew from his demeanor that the two brothers must have seen the Pure Yang magical treasure of Mount Laojun.

"What good luck." Zhang Fan sighed; disciples of famous sects are just different.

"The successors of the ten great Daoist famous mountains in the world are not just names that are intimidating; they are all recognized by the founders and have great fortune upon them."

Qi Delong saw Zhang Fan's thoughts and whispered in a deep voice.

"Brother, I heard that not long ago, the successor of Mount Qiyun died inexplicably." Qi Dongqiang said suddenly.

"Qin Ming!?"

"Correct, the Qin family, a dignified Xuan Sect family, is also finished." Qi Dongqiang added: "I don't know what kind of disaster star they encountered; their family was broken and people died, it's too miserable."

"..."

"Heaven's mandate is not with him..." Qi Delong said lightly.

"Since ancient times, Mount Qiyun has had the method of 'a peach tree replacing a plum tree'."

"'A peach tree replacing a plum tree'!?" Zhang Fan revealed a look of doubt.

"Correct, it is a means to protect the successor, equivalent to a substitute, to replace the disaster, so that the real successor can be ensured to be safe." Qi Delong explained.

Mount Qiyun's protection of its successors is considered the most powerful among the ten great Daoist famous mountains.

"Are you saying that Qin Ming was pushed out by Mount Qiyun to block the disaster for their real successor?" Zhang Fan said in a daze.

"That's exactly it." Qi Delong nodded and could not help but look at Zhang Fan.

"Why? Do you know Qin Ming?"

"I don't know him, I've never heard of him." Zhang Fan shook his head.

"Actually, the most suspicious one among the ten great Daoist famous mountains is Xia Weisheng." Qi Delong changed the subject and said suddenly.

"Why?" Zhang Fan raised his eyelids slightly and could not help but ask.

"She is the closing disciple of the Chu Chu Chaoran Zhenren; the apprenticeship ceremony back then invited all parties to observe, two vice-abbots of the White Crane Temple went, and President Jiang personally sent people to deliver gifts..."

"Xia Weisheng realized the Gao Gong realm in her early twenties; her future is limitless, and succeeding Mount Zhenwu is almost a certainty."

At this point, a look of doubt appeared on Qi Delong's face.

"But not long ago, Chu Chu Chaoran Zhenren actually announced that he would take another disciple as his closing disciple."

"This wave of operations is really hard to understand."

Since he has already closed the door, can he close it again?

Furthermore, as the successor of Mount Zhenwu, Xia Weisheng has been famous for many years; if Chu Chu Chaoran Zhenren takes another disciple, how will she conduct herself?

The ins and outs of this are full of suspicion.

"I'm also puzzled." Zhang Fan whispered in a deep voice; he still doesn't understand what Chu Chu Chaoran Zhenren's move means.

"Let's go, the car is here."

Just at this moment, the ride-hailing car Zhang Fan called arrived; the two got into the car, first sent the Qi brothers to the hotel closest to Zhang Fan's house, and then he returned home.

The night deepened.

Inside Hongfu Huayuan, the dim streetlights made a hissing sound, flickering on and off.

In the security room, it was not Liu Fusheng on duty today.

"Daddy's daddy is a monster, daddy's mommy is a monster..."

Just as he walked downstairs, Zhang Fan's phone rang; he took it out and looked at the caller ID, it was Li Yishan.

"Hello!"

"Back?"

Li Yishan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Back." Zhang Fan sighed, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

"How is it? Was this trip smooth?"

"Full of twists and turns, but overall it was smooth... I also met a friend on this trip, his name is Qin Ergou; I'll introduce him to you later, he's a very good little brother." Zhang Fan laughed lightly.

"The person you value will definitely not be wrong." Li Yishan said lightly: "It just so happens that our family's industry is lacking people; in the future, he will be my person..."

"You are my person..." Li Yishan added.

"Do you want to go out for some skewers?" Zhang Fan looked at the sky and said.

"No, you just got back, have a good rest."

"Then tomorrow?" Zhang Fan asked.

"I've been busy and exhausted these two days, I'm afraid I don't have time." Li Yishan's voice was a bit tired and helpless.

"Hmm? What are you busy with?" Zhang Fan asked casually.

"Blind date!"

"Blind date!?"

Zhang Fan almost laughed out loud; he remembered Li Yishan saying that there are three types of relationships in this world that are the most unreliable.

One is online dating.

Two is long-distance.

Three is blind dating.

"Do you still need a blind date?" Zhang Fan laughed. "Don't say it, don't say it... it's all introduced by the family." Li Yishan replied helplessly.

"Sleep early."

"Hmm!"

Zhang Fan nodded and hung up the phone; nowadays, he can't sleep for a few hours in two or three days.

Returning home, the air felt cold; turning on the light, what caught his eye was the photo of Zhang Lingzong and Zhang Fan on the table.

"Dad..."

Since Zhang Lingzong left, this home has become increasingly cold and clear, and even he often doesn't stay home.

"One day, we will definitely be reunited as a family."

Zhang Fan picked up the photo and wiped off the dust that had fallen on it.

The next day, at noon.

!

No. 316 Guangming Road, Bujian Shan Cafe.

"Late, late..."

Zhang Fan sat in the corner, waiting for a long time; Sui Chunsheng arrived late and greeted him hurriedly.

"I heard you got promoted?" Zhang Fan said with a smile.

Two days ago, when he was still in Chang'an City, he saw the news of Sui Chunsheng's promotion on his social media feed.

In the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance, with his age and qualifications, it can be said that his future is limitless.

"A small office director, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning..." Sui Chunsheng laughed loudly.

After all, officialdom nourishes people; looking at him today, Sui Chunsheng was glowing, and his forehead was much fuller.

Sui Chunsheng's achievements today are thanks to Zhang Fan; after all, several major cases were helped by Zhang Fan, especially the capture of the Yin Tiger Hong Shanjun, and that credit was also counted on Sui Chunsheng's head.

"Where have you been these past few days? I couldn't find you." Sui Chunsheng asked.

A few days ago, when he was promoted, he even specially hosted a table and invited Zhang Fan, but he didn't even reply to the message.

"Went to Chang'an City." Zhang Fan said casually.

"What did you go there for?"

"Sightseeing."

Zhang Fan said casually, not wanting to dwell on this topic, and hurriedly said: "I came today because I have a treasure to sell; I don't know if your Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance accepts it."

"Accept, we originally have this business." Sui Chunsheng said.

Every year, the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance sends people to all parts of the country, to famous mountains and rivers, to collect medicinal materials and rare treasures, and to trade them; it is a large source of income.

"What treasure? I can definitely give you the highest price." Sui Chunsheng said confidently.

With his current position, he can still manage to raise the price by 20% or 30%; at the end of the year, by suppressing and moving the prices of other treasures, the space will come out.

"Dragon Toad Oil." Zhang Fan whispered.

"Dragon Toad Oil? This is a treasure." Sui Chunsheng's eyes lit up.

This is a treasure for refining external elixirs, which itself has the effect of nourishing the soul-aspect; the most critical thing is that this kind of treasure is non-renewable and extremely difficult to find.

In the Daoist sect, the last transaction record of 【Dragon Toad Oil】 was more than twenty years ago.

"How much?" Sui Chunsheng could not help but ask.

If he can receive this kind of treasure, he can also add color to his work report at the end of the year.

"Sixteen catties!" Zhang Fan said in a deep voice.

That gourd of Dragon Toad Oil was divided into two catties for the Qi brothers, and Lin Jianyue's soul-aspect also absorbed half a catty; even so, her injuries were only barely stabilized, and there was still no sign of recovery.

The effect of Dragon Toad Oil on her was already negligible, which shows the severity of her injuries; it is a miracle that she could survive.

"Sixteen catties of Dragon Toad Oil, I can give you 7.2 million." Sui Chunsheng pondered slightly and said.

"You can go out and compare prices at will; I estimate the highest is about 6.8 million."

"No need to compare prices, I'll sell it to your Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance." Zhang Fan nodded, took a gourd out of his bag, and placed it on the table.

"Good, don't worry, you definitely won't lose money selling it to my Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance." Sui Chunsheng was overjoyed.

"I'll go verify the quality first; it's not that I don't trust you, this is the procedure, if there's no problem, I'll transfer the money to you."

"Good."

Zhang Fan nodded, suddenly having the feeling of holding a huge sum of money, and he was truly floating.

"I want to buy something."

"Buy what?"

"A treasure that can repair the soul-aspect." Zhang Fan said in a deep voice.

Lin Jianyue cannot be ignored; her injuries must be helped by external forces; although Dragon Toad Oil has the effect of nourishing the soul-aspect, its efficacy is limited after all.

"What level of soul-aspect?" Sui Chunsheng asked.

Different soul-aspect realms have vastly different prices for repair treasures.

"Gao Gong."

Lin Jianyue's realm is Gao Gong.

"That's a bit expensive." Sui Chunsheng said in a deep voice: "Is it urgent?"

"A bit urgent."

"Like this, I'll go back and check the inventory, and make a list for you to see." Sui Chunsheng said.

If he were asked to quote now, he wouldn't know what treasures are in the warehouse.

"About what price?" Zhang Fan asked.

"A treasure to repair a Gao Gong-level soul-aspect will probably cost two or three million; it may fluctuate slightly, I have to go back and check the quote." Sui Chunsheng said.

The treasures in the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance warehouse are adjusted annually according to the price of raw materials, focusing on not losing money.

"Good, as soon as possible." Zhang Fan nodded; it's easy to get things done with someone inside.

The Dragon Toad Oil was sold, and Lin Jianyue's injuries also had a turning point.

Next, Zhang Fan also planned to spend money to repair the 【Weiling Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal】, but this thing originally flowed out from the Xuanmiao Temple in Gusu and cannot be seen in the light, so he didn't plan to look for the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance, but prepared to explore the path with Fang Changle.

Mount Mao should also have business in this area.

Earlier, Zhang Fan had already inquired from Qi Delong that repairing the 【Weiling Demon-Suppressing Golden Seal】 would probably cost one or two million.

"I am also a rich man now; seven figures at a time." Zhang Fan was happy in his heart.

"By the way, what is Old Fang busy with recently? Still on Mount Mao?"

"He's very busy recently."

Sui Chunsheng looked left and right, lowered his voice and said: "He is now hiding on Mount Luohuang, in closed-door meditation, preparing to break through to the Great Being realm."

Because of the Yin Tiger's framing, Fang Changle was trapped in prison for two years, and now it has finally been made up for.

"Mount Luohuang!?" Zhang Fan's brows twitched.

Ever since that Juemiao Abbot, who is the Vice-Master of the Wu Wei Sect, Mr. Nian, broke the tribulation and left the mountain, that mountain has become even more desolate; it is a good place for closed-door meditation.

"Great Being realm, Old Fang is also about to take this step..."

Zhang Fan subconsciously looked at the traffic on the street outside.

Cultivation must have tribulations, and progress must have disasters; this is heaven's test and the Great Dao's grinding.

"I hope he goes smoothly..." Zhang Fan muttered softly.

"There shouldn't be any accidents!!"
