Chapter 517 Good Luck
Bai Ling, with tearful eyes and a dead heart, was taken away by Gongsun Lian. Following closely behind, she was brought into the hall by the Nascent Soul cultivator Yu Yan, a concubine of Long Aotian whom Bai Lan had abducted before entering the Demon Palace.
"I didn't expect that you really are the Lord of the Demon Palace." Yuyan looked at Bai Lan at the top with mixed feelings.
Bai Lan smiled faintly: "Senior Yuyan, I'm sure you've seen the current situation. The entire Wuyun Continent Demonic Path is united. Even if you are a casual cultivator, if you want to work in my Demon Palace, you must swear a set of inner demon oaths not to be an enemy of the Yuling Sect, and then hang the Yu character badge around your waist."
Wearing a Yu badge on your waist can ensure unimpeded entry into the Demon City. The price of one Yu badge is one hundred spirit stones, and you need to pay a protection fee of one spirit stone every month as needed.
Of course, becoming a disciple of the Yuling Sect not only does not require paying spirit stones, but you can also receive a salary.
Bai Lan shook the jade brick in his hand, and said expectantly, "Or... Senior Yuyan can choose to directly hand over a strand of her soul and join our Yuling Sect as an inner sect disciple."
When the difference in strength between the inner and outer disciples of the Yuling Sect becomes apparent, a gap will appear.
The heavenly-grade skills (first level) given upon entry, the life-saving teleportation jade brick, and the legendary sermons by the incarnation monks that appear every six months in the sect's preaching hall... these are opportunities that ordinary monks dream of.
At that time, those who have jade tokens hanging around their waists will begin to envy those disciples who hold jade bricks in their hands.
There will be people who are sensible enough to voluntarily hand over a wisp of their soul and join the Yuling Sect completely.
"I can swear an inner demon oath that I will never be an enemy of the Yuling Sect in this life, but let's forget about joining the sect." Yu Yan ignored the option of joining the Yuling Sect and bowed.
Bai Lan nodded and stopped persuading her. He just raised his hand and handed the jade box containing the Tianyuan Fruit to Yuyan.
Seeing that she had successfully obtained the Tianyuan Fruit and that it had not been killed afterwards, Yuyan slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "...Thank you."
"Although your mother has reached the Nascent Soul stage, unfortunately her life is coming to an end. If you are willing to change your mind and join my Yuling Sect, I can give you two longevity pills." After Bai Lan finished speaking, he raised his hand to see the guest off.
Yuyan's eyes moved, and her expression showed a slight struggle, but in the end she gritted her teeth and left.
"I thought you would use your power to force her to hand over a wisp of her soul." Bai Lan's kindness made Old Fu feel unfamiliar.
"I'm not thirsty now, so there's no need to force myself." Bai Lan took a sip of tea and said sinisterly, "But I've already issued an order in the name of the Demon Palace. Yuyan can't buy a single longevity pill in the Demon Dao territory, whether on the black market or in Wanbao Tower."
If you can’t buy the longevity elixir and want to prolong your life, you can only join the Yuling Sect.
If she planned to leave the Demon Palace and look for the longevity elixir elsewhere, according to the nature of heaven, she would certainly be sent to the boundless sea to meet Long Aotian, and then Bai Lan could catch her again.
"...As expected of you." Elder Fu looked at the map of the Boundless Sea on Bai Lan's desk and said, "If you're going to the Boundless Sea, you might as well stop at Floating Cloud Island first."
"Old Fu has invited me so kindly, how can I not go?" Bai Lan closed the map and nodded. "Our first stop will be Floating Cloud Island. We will bring it and Beiming Island under the jurisdiction of our Yuling Sect. This way, we will have a foothold in the Boundless Sea."
"If your goal is to unify the boundless sea, the human race is certainly the primary target, but you also have to guard against the monsters in the sea." Old Fu shook his head.
Bai Lan closed his eyes and said, "The dragon is the king of the sea. The ninth-rank ancestral dragon is sealed by Sui Yun. It's difficult for me to seize it with my current strength, but there must be other dragons in the boundless sea... by then."
"As long as you enjoy killing." Old Fu sighed.
"No hurry, I still have things to do in the righteous way." Bai Lan took out the sound transmission talisman of Jin Heng Zhenjun from his storage bag, cleared his throat, and transformed his voice into that of Qing Xuan Zhenren: "Jin Heng..."
"Qingxuan! You, you actually came to find me on your own initiative..." Jin Heng Zhenjun's voice was filled with uncontrollable joy: "Where are you! I'm going to find you now!"
"I'm in the Demonic Path's Hundred Poison Tomb... invaded by hundreds of poisons. My time is running out. Jin Heng, before I go... I want to see you one last time."
"What!? You're in the Tomb of Hundred Poisons? Qingxuan, I'll come find you now, just hold on!" Jin Heng's voice suddenly became panicked.
Bai Lan coughed violently a few times and cut off the sound transmission note.
The Tomb of Hundred Poisons is in the heart of the demonic world. Jin Heng was willing to go into danger alone just because of a sound transmission talisman. Bai Lan was really moved by Jin Heng's love for Qingxuan.
"This person is the one we need to rely on force to seize. She is Qingxuan's concubine and the only Nascent Soul ancestor of the Jinqi Sect. If we take a wisp of her soul, the Jinqi Sect can be renamed Jinqi Peak."
Fu Lao spread his hands: "You've picked it."
"Send the message. Please have the three Nascent Soul Elders, Fuhun, Guteng, and Zisha, along with Chiyue, go to the Hundred Poison Tomb and prepare to capture the Jinqi Sect's ancestor, Jin Heng, alive. During the battle, be sure to leave her alive and don't let her self-destruct."
"Yes!"
Four Nascent Souls, plus the residual soul of the Divine Transformation behind her, were enough to crush Jin Heng, who was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Any normal Nascent Soul ancestor would have to consider his own safety at this moment and worry about whether there was a trap.
But it was obvious that Jin Heng was not an ordinary person. When she heard Qingxuan's name, she became ruthless and rushed over without caring about her life.
"He Gui, go and capture all of Jin Heng's direct disciples, in case she refuses to obey and her disciples are taken as hostages." Bai Lan looked at He Gui on the side again and spoke in a deep voice.
"......" He Gui Zhenjun's eyelids jumped: "I know."
Bai Lan, the Demon Lord, is a real demon. He doesn't feel any discomfort like a righteous cultivator who has been possessed by a demon.
But before entering the Tomb of Hundred Poisons, Bai Lan still went to see Xuan Shazi. Xuan Shazi was a master in playing with poisons. Maybe he could help increase the success rate of becoming immune to all poisons?
"You want to die!" Xuan Shazi almost laughed out of anger after hearing Bai Lan's idea.
There are indeed precedents of people who survived being invaded by hundreds of poisons and instead turned a disaster into a blessing in disguise and gained a body immune to all poisons, but out of ten thousand people who were poisoned, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine died.
In Xuan Shazi's eyes, Bai Lan's action was tantamount to being tired of living and wanting to commit suicide.
"Senior, you may not know this, but I've always had good luck. Even when I'm in a dangerous situation where I'm on the verge of death, I can always escape it." Bai Lan said confidently, "I can't die."
"I can testify to this." Old Fu said with a smile.
Jiuge Zhenjun also nodded: "It is indeed rare to find someone who can take back a wisp of my soul after being possessed by me. She is indeed very good at turning danger into safety."
Cannon Fodder Master suppressed his laughter: "Ah, right, right."
Xuan Shazi stroked his beard and fell into deep thought: "Even if you want to die, I won't stop you. To be honest, I have indeed studied this body that is immune to all poisons before. If you want to increase the success rate, perhaps you should start from the order in which the poisoning occurs..."
