Wuliang Immortal Clan

Xu Yuanlang's frivolous attitude made the guard's face instantly darken.

"court death!"

The guard's expression tightened, and in the next moment, the magical spear in his hand flew out like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, aimed directly at his throat.

"Where the soul resides!"

"Aoki Ryu!"

His eyes instantly turned deep and dark, and his aura suddenly became fierce. The next moment, his arms shimmered with spiritual light, and his arms, hidden in his spiritual robe, were covered with dragon scales.

"Snapped!"

He gripped the spear tightly with his right hand, which was only three inches from his throat, and could even feel a slight chill in it.

The guard's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly circulated his spiritual power to urge the spear forward, but all he heard were a series of ear-piercing cracking sounds, and the spear remained motionless.

"Good heavens!"

The captain of the guard leaned forward slightly, a look of inquiry flashing in his eyes.

Realizing he couldn't defeat Xu Yuanlang quickly, the guard immediately changed tactics and took out a red cleansing bottle.

"out!"

With a loud boom, a crimson flame flew out, growing larger as it faced the wind, instantly surrounding Xu Yuanlang. But that wasn't all; with a thought, he unsheathed a flying sword, which multiplied into ten and then a hundred in mid-air.

"go!"

Hundreds of flying swords pierced through the flames, then clashed and tore through the fire.

"Ha ha!"

The guard burst into laughter, believing his victory was already a foregone conclusion.

"That kid!"

The captain of the guard stroked his beard; his eyes were sharp, and he immediately shouted a warning to his men.

"Guo Lin, are you blind? There's nothing in the flames."

The once smug guard put away the jade bottle without saying a word, and sure enough, there was no trace of him left. His expression changed drastically, and his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings.

"Bang!"

Just then, the ground beneath his feet exploded, and a hand grabbed his ankle and pulled hard. The guard screamed and sank into the ground. Realizing something was wrong, he struggled frantically.

The next moment, his pupils constricted sharply, and his head tilted back, revealing a broken needle stuck in his throat.

"I give up!"

The guard hurriedly surrendered, and Xu Yuanlang was satisfied when he heard this and withdrew the Qi-breaking needle.

"Clap clap clap!"

The captain of the guard clapped his hands in satisfaction, pulled Guo Lin out of the ground, and then turned to look at Xu Yuanlang.

"Fellow Daoist, impressive, impressive!"

"That guard position!"

"nature!"

The captain of the guard was named Shen Xi, a genuine Foundation Establishment cultivator, who was fully responsible for the protection of Baiqi Trading Company. The trading company would not interfere arbitrarily.

"Seventh level of Qi Refining? Captain Shen, isn't this fellow Daoist's strength a bit lacking?"

The caravan manager glanced at Xu Yuanlang. The other guards were all at least at the eighth level of Qi Refining, so the sudden addition of a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator made him raise his objections.

"I can assure you that this fellow Daoist's strength is absolutely sufficient."

Shen Xi's words were seen as a guarantee for Xu Yuanlang. As the captain of the guards, he held a high position in the business company, so the manager naturally had to give him face.

"Alright!"

The manager nodded, noted down his name, and then took out a set of spirit robes from Baiqi Trading Company.

"This is the Hundred Silkworm Robe, which is difficult to damage by ordinary low-grade magic artifacts. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it does not sink in water. It is the uniform spirit robe of our Baiqi Trading Company, and we are giving it to you as a benefit."

After joining, the manager actually gave him a set of spirit robes. Xu Yuanlang accepted them in surprise. Baiqi Trading Company was indeed a big trading company, and it was very generous.

"Thank you, manager! Thank you, captain!"

He bowed to the two men, and the steward, seeing that he was quite familiar with etiquette, gave him some pointers.

"We will only be staying at Baishangji for three days, so please do not go out recently."

"yes!"

Xu Yuanlang cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, indicating that he understood.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and as one spirit beast after another was led out, Baiqi Trading Company began to prepare for departure.

They were the first to set up their own signboard, which was a four-leaf clover pattern composed of four colors. Although it was just a few simple strokes, it was quite charming and unforgettable.

"The auspicious time has arrived, everyone. Let's depart!"

He saw the manager from a few days ago mingling among the merchants' crowd. The person in charge of affairs was a spirited female cultivator who, by ordinary standards, should be around sixteen years old.

She had an oval face, delicate eyebrows, bright eyes, and slightly pursed cherry lips. She wore a pale yellow spirit robe, with a palm-width light pink jade belt tied around her waist.

Her slender, jade-like legs, clad in silver sky-high boots, swept across the crowd with her eyes. Even the Qi Refining Realm cultivators felt an invisible pressure and subconsciously lowered their heads.

"A Foundation Establishment cultivator! Maybe she's just an old woman pretending to be young, who has been cultivating for who knows how many years."

Xu Yuanlang was secretly surprised, but then he thought that a cultivator's appearance was not to be trusted, so he pursed his lips.

His movements were so subtle that they shouldn't have been noticed, but the next moment he felt a weight on his shoulder as a faint aura of power suddenly descended upon him.

"No way!"

He had a bad feeling. When he looked up, he saw the female cultivator's sharp gaze fall on him. Their eyes met briefly in the air, and Xu Yuanlang raised his head neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The other person looked surprised, and the corners of their mouth curled up slightly.

"Miss Ou smiled at me, she smiled at me!"

"That smile was directed at me!"

The two cultivators behind Xu Yuanlang became excited and quickly began to whisper among themselves.

"You two toads trying to eat swan meat? Miss Ou is supposedly from a prestigious family. If you keep dreaming, I'll beat you up!"

Captain Shen Xi gave a soft snort, and the two of them instantly fell silent.

Interrupted by this incident, the other party stopped paying attention to Xu Yuanlang and simply waved his hand. Hundreds of golden-hoofed oxen began to exhale hot air from their nostrils and then slowly moved forward.

The caravan's guards, riding red spirit horses no less impressive than the Yuanxing Horse, spread out to protect the caravan from all sides.

If they encounter monsters, they are responsible for dealing with them, as well as scouting the roads and arranging accommodations.

"Xu Yuanlang!"

Not all the wagons in the caravan were fully loaded with goods; some had been converted into living quarters. One of the wagons had been transformed into a boudoir, where Miss Ou, holding the roster, gently traced his name with her slender, white fingers.

"A member of the Xu family who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage has a good foundation and has the hope of achieving Foundation Establishment. How dare he secretly mutter that I am an old woman in his heart! How despicable!"

"If this business trip weren't related to the company's plans for my future, I would have definitely shown you what I'm capable of."

Miss Ou closed the roster, stretched out her arm and yawned. In her boudoir, wearing only her undergarments, she naturally didn't need to worry about accidentally exposing herself. She simply patted her shoulder gently.

He looked down at the protrusion blocking his view and let out a sigh of frustration.

"Have you grown a bit more?"
