Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 334 Zhang Qingran

"Does this woman know this damned Kang Dabao?!" Yuan Xiyue was horrified. Of course she knew this female cultivator from Mi Li. This was the forbidden girl who was captured by Yuan Feng twenty years ago and kept in seclusion, not allowing anyone to even look at her!

When she heard that Yuan Feng had captured another female cultivator from another state, Yuan Xiyue lost interest. Her fate was still tied to the abbot of the temple, and her situation was not good. How could she spend more time and effort for others?

But Yuan Xiyue had never thought that this female cultivator was related to Kang Dabao. Now it was clear why Kang Dabao had such great malice towards the cultivators of the Yuan family.

As expected, if it was just a pure and spiritual body with five spiritual roots, and a lowly casual cultivator who could not establish a foundation even after practicing for 120 years, how could it be worthy of Kang Dabao, a greedy and evil cultivator who likes to bully women, to protect him with all his heart? !
Even if Kang Dabao told her directly at this time that he had never met this female cultivator named Mi Li before, Yuan Xiyue would definitely not believe it.

However, Sect Leader Kang had no time to care about what Yuan Xiyue, the meat shield, was thinking. Hearing this, a trace of reminiscence flashed across his eyes, and he sighed softly, "I never thought that I would meet you here."

The beautiful female cultivator said softly, "Zhang Qingran greets the two fellow Taoists from Chongming Sect."

Jiang Qing was confused at first, thinking it was his senior brother's old lover who came to visit him, but then he thought, didn't he know how miserable his senior brother was 20 years ago? How could he have such a beautiful girl as his old lover?

"So you are from the Qing generation, and you are the great-grandson of my ancestor Zhang." There was a hint of intimacy in the words of the headmaster Kang, and Zhang Qingran quickly said, "Indeed, the founder of your sect, Zhang Yuandao, is the second cousin of my great-grandfather. The two of them were close friends back then."

"So that's how it is," Kang Dabao said softly.

In terms of blood relationship, Zhang Qingran and Zhang Zushi have a very close relationship, but Sect Leader Kang hid the intimacy in his tone and asked in a deep voice, "I wonder what brought Daoist Fellow Zhang to come to Yunjiaozhou, a border state of David, from Fenlizhou in Jingjidao?"

When Zhang Qingran heard Kang Dabao ask this, she looked a little sad, and said in a sad voice, "Master Kang, the Zhang family has been gone for nearly twenty years."

Jiang Qing and Kang Dabao were shocked when they heard this. The latter said in surprise, "When my master was alive, I heard from outsiders that there was another fake pill master in the Li and Zhang families. We even planned to invite someone to congratulate them, but..."

The head of Kangda stopped talking here because he was concerned about the reputation of the two families. Zhang Qingran knew it well.

This is because in the past, although the Zhang family of Fenli was not considered a big family in Fenli Prefecture, they could still occupy a county and act tyrannically.

It is said that the Chongming Sect was founded by the descendants of the Zhang family. However, Zhang Yuandao was a descendant of a concubine's family who ran away in anger. He only gained the resources to build his foundation by joining the army and becoming a lackey of the Immortal Dynasty. It is not possible to say that he is close to the Zhang family.

Secondly, after Zhang Zushi established his foundation, he immediately returned to his family, cut off the family tree, and moved his bloodline to Pingrong County to spread out. Although this move was not explicitly stated, it was almost the same as the separation of the family.

Third, after the death of Zhang Zushi, the successor Zhang family members brought in wolves and corrupted the foundation-building sect of Chongming Sect to the point that it was in a mess. It was difficult for them to dominate even in the remote Pingrong County. Such strength was considered weak in the eyes of the Zhang family. Moreover, the successor leaders were no longer descendants of the Zhang family, so the relationship was weakened.

四来
Therefore, due to the above reasons, the Zhang family gradually severed their ties with the Chongming Sect.

When it came to Master He, even the happy event of the Li and Zhang families gaining a new alchemist was heard by everyone in the Chongming Sect from outsiders.

Even if you put in all your effort to prepare generous gifts, it will be difficult to send them out before you receive the invitation from the Li and Zhang families.

The head of the Kang family was giving face to the Zhang family. Zhang Qingran did not hide it and said softly, "Last time, a golden elixir cave that had been sealed for a thousand years was opened in Lizhou. The two fake elixir ancestors went to seek opportunities, and then..."

Jiang Qing had heard this, so how could he not know that Zhang Qingran was a cultivator from the Zhang family who had been living outside? He could not help but wonder, "Could it be that none of them have returned?"

The head of the Kang sect glanced at him and cursed in his heart: "You silly third brother, this female cultivator is about to perform her martial arts, why are you just being a supporting role?"

As expected, as soon as Jiang Qing finished speaking, Zhang Qingran's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she looked so lovely: "Fellow Daoist Jiang is right, the two ancestors have not returned. The head of the family relied on the ancestral formation and more than a thousand disciples to fight against other families for nearly half a century, but still..."

Seeing this, Kang Dabao sighed in his heart: "But this female cultivator still cried."

The head of the Kang family is not willing to get involved in the affairs of the Li and Zhang families. It is easy to imagine that this woman must have been involved in a lot of karma, and she might even have fake pills or even more powerful enemies.

Twenty years ago, the Chongming Sect was supported by only the three brothers, and it was already in a state of decline, but Zhang Qingran still came all the way here.

It is obvious that his friends and relatives have all dispersed, and all the guests and old acquaintances have left, leaving him with nowhere else to go. Yet he still refuses to give up and has to come here to find out the truth and seek a way out.

After meeting Emperor Chongming, she showed no improvement at all, so she left without even showing her face. Finally, she was noticed by the sixteenth young master of the Yuan family, who was an expert in the art of collecting and replenishing energy, and became a cauldron.

This is not knowing how to do things. The Chongming Sect of Kang Da was so poor back then. How can you just turn around and leave after coming all the way to Pingrong County? Even if you give each of the three brothers a red envelope of 100 Lingshi as a senior, you can at least earn a favor, right?
But now, the only remaining connection between the Chongming Sect and the Fenli Zhang family is the 20,000 to 30,000 blood relatives of Zhang Zushi who moved here that year. Kang Dabao doesn't even bother to look at the others.

Whether the Li and Zhang families are there or not has nothing to do with the Yunjiaozhou Chongming Sect.

But then again, a beauty shedding tears is quite beautiful. Kang Dabao did not urge her, and let Zhang Qingran finish crying. Then he heard her kneeling on the ground, begging sadly: "The villains of the Yuan family have placed a ban on my body. Please, fellow Taoist, save me for the sake of my ancestors!"

This person is quite good at taking advantage of others. In just a short while, Master Zhang became her ancestor.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhang. My sect is weak and powerless. We have the will but not the strength to do so. Let's discuss this matter later." Sect Leader Kang became cautious. This beautiful woman was the last thing he could trust.

Unless Zhang Qingran lets me place restrictions on her like I did on Yuan Xiyue, otherwise, I won't believe a single word this beautiful girl says!

"This woman has been cultivating her Yin energy for two decades, and Yuan Feng has always wanted to pick it. As long as Sect Leader Kang uses her as a hostage, he can help me escape!" Zhang Qingran's tone became even more sad as she spoke, as if to melt people's hearts.

Kang Dabao looked suspicious, but Jiang Qing on the other side had already exclaimed: "A match between the same clan?"

Yuan Xiyue narrowed her beautiful eyes. The Yuan family was a long-standing family after all. Zhang Qingran's making this ugly incident known in public was a great loss of face for the Yuan family.

Yes, at that time, the abbot of Benying Temple and Nahu Temple traveled to the 26 prefectures of Shannan Road to select nine female practitioners to build the foundation and practice the path of the Buddha Mother and Consort together. Only one person could share joy and form the golden elixir with him.

Among these nine people, Yuan Xiyue's aptitude is only average. Even if she really took possession of Feng Wan's essence, she might not be chosen by the abbot as a consort. Even if Yuan Xiyue really became a golden elixir, Shannan Road is still the area of ​​Zhaixing Tower, and there is no way a Buddhist consort can stay here for a long time. In the end, the Jingnan Yuan family only gained the support of a distant relative who married far away in the Snow Region. Although it can be considered a good thing, there is still a layer of separation.

Therefore, if Yuan Xiyue's energy was absorbed, Yuan Feng's chance of forming a pill would increase by another 10%, and Yuan Buwen felt that it was a good deal.

The words "matching of the same clan" sounded unpleasant, especially since Yuan Xiyue and Yuan Feng were very close and neither of them was more than five generations apart. However, there were many such dirty things among the people throughout history. The emperor of the previous dynasty even had a child with his own sister to provide pure blood for alchemy.

Compared with this, Yuan Feng's dirty thoughts are nothing big.

As for whether it would offend the abbot who wanted to compete for the Buddhist disciples of Benying Temple,
The Jingnan Yuan family hadn't produced a golden elixir for nearly a thousand years, and Yuan Buwen really didn't want to wait any longer. After all, this was still the Zhaixing Tower, and no matter how powerful Benying Temple was, there were still some things to be cautious about.

The head of the clan, Kang, was unaware of the dirty things going on in the Yuan family. He only used a gesture to persuade the daughter of the Yuan family who was about to ask questions to stop. The former looked serious and turned to Zhang Qingran and asked softly, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, why should I help you?"

"Why?" Zhang Qingran's tone paused, a hint of doubt appeared on her pretty face, but after thinking about it, she understood.

This was the result of the family's distancing itself from the Chongming Sect in recent decades, so much so that Zhang Yuandao's disciples and followers today do not even have the slightest concern for the Zhang family.

After thinking it through, Zhang Qingran stopped looking so pitiful with tears in her eyes. She only knew that the seventh generation leader of Chongming Sect was a man who valued friendship, so she wanted to use friendship to frame him.

Since there is no room for negotiation right now, of course the only thing we can do is to negotiate the price properly.

But now, she, a cauldron maker, has been raised like a canary for so many years, and even her own cultivation has stagnated. Except for the rather useless spiritual storage device in her dantian, the rare items in her storage bag are empty. What else can she trade?
Even this innocent body was kept until today by Yuan Feng for great purposes.

If she gave her body to Kang Da, she might be able to let him take over her karma. But she didn't know what the notorious Kang Dabao was like, and whether he was the kind of person who would admit his mistakes even if he took off his pants.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang?" Zhang Qingran hesitated for a moment but did not answer. Kang Dabao gradually lost his patience.

This is not an ordinary time. Xiao Sanzi has just made it clear that there are more than just a few green crocodiles chasing them lying here. Who knows, in a few quarters of an hour, a few more powerful guys will come out of that spring.

Jiang Qing and his companions had seen with their own eyes a demon beast that could speak human language and had "awakened its spirit" in the Green Lake. That kind of demon beast could be considered a cultivator with a natural spiritual root among the cultivators, and it was almost certain to become a third-level demon beast, comparable to a golden elixir.

Even if your cultivation level is a little shallow, you should never take it lightly.

Zhang Qingran bit her teeth lightly, as if she had made up her mind, and said crisply: "I heard that Master Kang practiced a high-level pupil technique that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Chongming Sect. I wonder if you know the 'Moon Fern'?"

"'Moon Fern'?!" Sect Leader Kang lowered his eyebrows, suppressed his joy, and said in a low voice: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, do you know the whereabouts of 'Moon Fern'?"

Kang Dabao did a good job of covering up, but Zhang Qingran was also very smart. The female cultivator felt relieved and said softly, "Of course I know. If I didn't know, how could I dare to advise Master Kang? As long as I rescue me from Yuan Feng, I can tell Master Kang the whereabouts of Yue Fern."

Kang Dabao was in a dilemma. His most important skill now was the Golden Eyes. But whether it was the Clear Eyes Treasure Liquid or the more precious Three Mysterious True Dew, they were not very effective in improving this pupil technique.

According to what Zhang Yuandao said, the moon fern has an immediate effect on practicing this method. If you want to achieve the state of great success, this thing is indispensable.

"Friend Zhang, please don't try to deceive me. The sixteenth son of the Yuan family is quite good at the art of collecting and replenishing energy, but I, Kang, can also learn it."

The tone of the headmaster Kang was still indifferent, but Zhang Qingran shuddered when he heard it, and thought to himself: "It is really difficult to find a good person in this remote and dangerous place with poor mountains and bad waters. After taking off the shackles, I must first settle the cause and effect with this Kang, and don't owe him anything."

The female cultivator straightened her royal blue fairy clothes, restrained her expression and held her breath, and said in a deep voice: "As long as Sect Leader Kang is willing to help me escape from this predicament, not only will I not keep any of the Moon Fern's whereabouts, but I will also owe you a favor. The entire Zhang family will remember this and repay you with gratitude!"

Kang Dabao nodded, then shook his head: "Kang only wants the whereabouts of Yue Fern, not any favors from friends."

"Yes," Zhang Qingran's plan was dashed, and he did not struggle any more. This time when he was taken out by Yuan Feng, he was already disheartened, thinking that his path to becoming a Taoist priest had ended here, and his path to becoming a member of the Zhang and Li family had also ended.

But I didn't expect to meet Kang Dabao and get his help. It gave me a little more hope of escaping Yuan Feng's clutches. It was indeed an unexpected surprise.

After twenty years of waiting, she finally got what she wanted today.

Compared with Zhang Qingran, Yuan Xiyue's expression was extremely ugly. She came to the cave this time to seek the Toad Dew and Osmanthus Fragrance. Although this item was only a second-level top-grade item, it was more suitable for sexual intercourse than many third-level spiritual items.

I think with this thing in hand, I will be able to squeeze Feng Wan dry. Born in a man's body, the pure and spiritual body is a great tonic for her. Who knows, she can even break through the late stage of foundation building in one fell swoop, and increase her bargaining chips in front of the temple guard.

For this reason, she even risked being raped by Yuan Feng and came here, but she never expected to fall into Kang Dabao's hands.

Yuan Xiyue was unwilling to watch Zhang Qingran get help from Kang Dabao. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Qi Buxiu, who was lying on the cloth, cough a few times and sit up.

"Ahem. Thank you very much for your support, fellow Taoists. When I meet my wife, I will ask her to reward you all handsomely." After taking the medicine that Fei Shuhe prepared for Master Kang, Qi Buxiu's complexion had almost recovered.

The timing when Zhang Qingran released his and the giant turtle's spiritual weapons was quite appropriate, so Master Qi's injuries were not too serious, and at least his life was not in danger for the time being.

After the latter woke up, he dissolved the medicine Chu Yanran prepared for him and ate it. Sect Leader Kang and Jiang Qing expressed their concern for him and then asked Zhang Qingran to take care of him first.

Chu Yanran had previously threatened the head of Kangda, and the latter dared not not serve the man in front of him well. When a beautiful woman gets angry, she really doesn't care about reason at all.

At this time, if Kang Dabao gave an order, Zhang Qingran would certainly not disobey. She moved over slowly to treat Qi Buxiu's injuries.

Yuan Xiyue was not as lucky as her. Kang Dabao cast his eyes over again. The daughter of the Yuan family felt a faint pain in the Yang Blood Lock Heart Curse between the two buds. So she looked gloomy, cursed in her heart, and walked towards the last stone door.
