Li Huonan squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Baisha.

 Jiang Baisha ignored the intimidation in his eyes and said calmly, "The price is negotiable. I heard that the Li family wants to open up a few more locations recently. I, Jiang Shi, can help with that."

 Chen Yao thought that a spiritual treasure that was almost useless was much more tempting than a piece of fat meat that could actually be eaten. No wonder Jiang Baisha came to negotiate with such confidence.

 It seems this matter is coming to an end, so in that case, there's really no need for me to do anything. I just don't see where this can be tested on one's character.

 But what surprised him was that, faced with such good conditions, Li Huonan shook off Jiang Baisha's arm.

 "Fellow Daoist Jiang, since you won't listen, I'll tell you a story!"

 He stared at Jiang Baisha and Chen Yao, his resentment evident in his expression.

 "In Xingmei Village, at the foot of the mountain, there lived a farmer named Wen who had a little girl imbued with spiritual energy. She could read and write at the age of three, and recite Taoist poetry at six. At sixteen, she developed a desire to pursue the Dao. Such talents, even though you two come from a prominent family, I'm sure, aren't common, are you?"

 Jiang Baisha nodded: "According to what you said, he is indeed a rare talent and beauty."

 "The Li family's land is close to Xingmei Village. When we encountered a cultivator, it was our duty to provide some assistance. Therefore, we shared Taoist texts and elixirs whenever we could find them, and provided guidance on elixirs whenever we could find them. Over thirty years later, this girl successfully established her foundation. Needless to say, the expense involved was immense, and a great deal of effort was put into it. I, a humble person, happened to see my Taoist partner die in the Demonic Well, and I fell in love with this girl, so I decided to remarry her."

 After hearing what Li Huonan said, Chen Yao frowned. He felt that this guy had coveted a little girl from the very beginning. How despicable.

 Jiang Baisha did not make any comments.

 Li Huonan continued, "But one day, the girl got excited and went to the nearby Mingsong Mountain, where she met..."

 He became emotional. "I met that bastard! He hooked up with her in no time, raped her for a few years, and then dumped her! By then, her red pill had broken. I... I! Even if I had the secret treasure he needed to heal his wounds and break through, I would rather feed it to a dog than give it to him!"

 As he spoke, he waved his sleeves at Chen Yao and Jiang Baisha, "Get out of here, both of you! You're all beasts! Go back and tell the old man from your Jiang family that I'm not afraid of him! My ancestor is about to come out of seclusion, and his head will be off soon! You're a bunch of scoundrels, and you dare to act wildly in my Li family! Get out!"

 Jiang Baisha lowered his head to listen to him finish his scolding, then raised his head and said, "I hope Fellow Daoist Li has thought it over. If that's the case, we won't bother you anymore."

 After saying that, he took Chen Yao and Qingfeng away from the Li family residence.

 Qingfeng looked frustrated. When he heard Jiang Baisha say what Li Huonan said, his face flushed. "I...Xiaohong and I were in love... Maybe Li Huonan ordered someone to do this to me! What a bastard!"

 Chen Yao thought to himself, this guy is also a fool, he doesn’t even know who he offended.

 However, he didn't care whether Qingfeng was confused or not, and asked Jiang Baisha in surprise: "Now, I'm afraid I have to steal it, right? Is this the place you want to test me? But, I'm not saying that if you come here again and again like this, you will only alert the enemy.

 , I’m afraid it will be difficult to steal.”

 Jiang Baisha just smiled and said, "We still have to give others opportunities! Otherwise, how can my Jiang family win the support of the people in Jiujiang?"

 "So what should we do? Along the way, we've seen three high-level mountain protection formations, not to mention the patrolling Jindan and Foundation Establishment cultivators. The Li family's mountain residence's defenses are as tight as those of a major sect. Forget stealing anything, even sneaking through the outer wall wouldn't be possible without reaching the Jindan stage."

 Jiang Baisha didn't answer, but just smacked his lips. "Don't mention it. I haven't tasted the flavors of the world for over a hundred years. This Xingmei Village fish with fermented lees has really whetted my appetite. Let's go eat!"

 Not only Chen Yao, but even Qingfeng felt suspicious and weird, but since Jiang Baisha was the one in charge this time, the two had no choice but to listen to his arrangements.

 ……

 As night falls, the Li family residence is quiet.

 As the ancestor of the Li family is about to come out of seclusion, the entire mountain house is relaxed on the outside but tense on the inside, and everyone is on edge, not to mention that three uninvited guests have come today to ask for treasures.

 After reflecting on his situation at the entrance of the immortal cave where the ancestor was in seclusion, Li Huonan returned to his nine-story building, still feeling a little resentful.

 If the ancestor was not about to come out of seclusion, it would not be advisable to cause trouble and offend the Jiang family. He would have killed those three scoundrels with a set of fire fists today.

 However, the ancestor may come out at any time, and the time for him to vent his anger is not far away. If he can escape from the monk, can he also escape from the temple?

 Thinking of this, Li Huonan calmed down a little, waved his hand to summon ten scantily clad female cultivators, had some fun with them, and then fell asleep with a sore back.

 After a good dream, he felt something wet and sticky under his body. He opened his sleepy eyes and sat up in a daze, not realizing what had happened.

 When he saw clearly the concubine in his arms, with her dull eyes and purple face, he became suspicious. He slowly lifted her face, but found that he had lifted her head as well.

 Blood was still gushing from his broken neck, and a river of blood was surging beneath his body. Nine severed heads were piled up in a maze at his crotch!

 "Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Chapter 242 Jiang Bailin is very interested in Chen Yao

 The next day, before dawn, someone from the Li family knocked on the door of the tavern in Xingmei Village.

 Li Huonan, looking grim, personally visited Jiang Baisha. After some pleasantries, he took out an ice jade treasure box with lingering fear. A fist-sized bright red scale floated in the transparent box.

 Mist surrounded the scales, and the ice jade was melted by the heat.

 Jiang Baisha casually took the ice jade box and handed it to the surprised Qingfeng. He turned to Li Huonan and said, "I'm really sorry. Since you're a day late, I'm afraid I can't agree to the conditions I offered you before."

 Li Huonan's gloomy face turned even darker. He pursed his lips tightly before saying with a forced smile, "It's okay, it's okay. Actually, there's no use for me for this thing. I thought about it all night and decided to help others if I could. I'm really sorry for my rude words yesterday. I hope you can forgive me."

 Jiang Baisha smiled and said "No problem", waving his hand to invite him to have a bowl of village wine.

 Li Huonan shook his head. "I have other things to do, so I won't take up any more of your time. Goodbye!"

 After saying that, he strode away and casually smashed the thatched door of the tavern with a palm.

 It can be seen that he is quite frustrated and annoyed.

 After a while, Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew Uncle White Shark could get this done for me."

 Jiang Baisha took the ice jade box from him and handed it to Chen Yao.

 "What is this doing?"

 Qingfeng was a little anxious.

 Jiang Baisha glared at him and said, "Do you know why the ancestor didn't accept you as a disciple?"

 Qingfeng seemed to feel that Jiang Baisha was embarrassed by asking him this question. He looked at Chen Yao and said awkwardly, "Isn't it because I'm ugly... The fairies at home don't like me?"

 Jiang Baisha shook his head and laughed: "Qingfeng, you can't stay still forever. The Jiang family can't always clean up your mess!"

 Qingfeng shrank his neck and didn't dare to say anything more.

 Jiang Baisha sighed, "The ancestor never judges people by appearance. If he really wanted to accept you as his disciple, where could he find a younger generation in the family willing to form a Taoist partner with you? The real reason is that you are impatient and frivolous. Think about it carefully."

 Qingfeng lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything more.

 After Jiang Baisha finished teaching Qingfeng a lesson, Chen Yao looked at the ice jade box in his hand and asked, "What do you want to do for me?"

 Jiang Baisha was much more polite to Chen Yao: "Getting something from the Li family is no problem at all. The real test begins now."

 "What test?"

 Chen Yao carefully examined the scales in the jade box and found that they had become much redder, and the center was like a firework.

 "Since you said you want to test Brother Yu's character, then these snake scales must have relevant effects." Jiang Baisha glared at Qingfeng, who looked reluctant. "To be honest, these snake scales are now poisonous. If they are not purified, using them will damage your foundation. Now, we need to go to the Ice Cave in Xiaokun Mountain to remove the fire poison from them."

 "Does this mean that the poison on the snake scales can infect me even through the ice jade box?"

 Chen Yao guessed it was

 Otherwise, Jiang Baisha would not have to hand over the ice jade box to himself.

 "Indeed, this is the sinister intention of Li Huonan. But don't worry, brother Yu, this fire poison is quite unique. As long as you don't use these snake scales, it won't harm the body, but will only infect the mind. With me here, even if you can't resist it along the way, it won't be a problem. I can guarantee it."

 Jiang Baisha's eyes were firm, and he was obviously very confident.

 Chen Yao thought about it and nodded, "Then let's go to Xiaokunshan as soon as possible!"

 This was exactly what Qingfeng wanted, and he wanted to heal his injuries as soon as possible.

 Jiang Baisha nodded, took out a spiritual jade pendant as payment for the wine, and walked out of the inn with the two of them.

 As the three of them arrived at the Xinghuawu in Xingmei Village, the surrounding apricot trees swayed without wind.

 Chen Yao's heart trembled, and he looked around.

 Jiang Baisha suddenly smiled unhappily: "Sister, why don't you come out? When have you ever scared me?"

 A delicate moan came from the apricot bushes, and a radiant mature woman walked out. It was Jiang Bailin, whom Chen Yao had met in the restaurant in Luling City that day.

 Jiang Bailin's eyes scanned the three of them, finally stopping at Chen Yao. He smiled and said, "We meet again!"

 She frowned again and pointed at Jiang Baisha with her orchid-shaped finger: "Why are you hanging out with him? Come with me!"

 As a result, not only Chen Yao was puzzled, but even Jiang Baisha showed a puzzled look.

 But Jiang Baisha quickly calmed down and scolded him with a hint of pampering: "You are impolite! This Brother Yu is an honored guest of my Jiang family! Besides, since you have completed the task assigned to you, you should immediately do what you should do. Why are you hanging around here?"

 Although Jiang Bailin was handsome and mature, he had a somewhat unruly personality. Upon hearing what his brother said, he immediately put his hands on his hips and said, "I decide my own affairs. I'm not leaving!"

 Jiang Baisha didn't want to get entangled with her anymore, so he flew out of the flying boat and took Chen Yao and Qingfeng into the sky.

 The wind was blowing hard below, the flying boat sank, and Jiang Bailin fell heavily. He deliberately stood beside Chen Yao, and the rich fragrance of the wind along with her trembling chest teased Chen Yao's nose.

 "Go down!"

 Jiang Baisha scolded.

 Jiang Bailin chuckled and refused firmly: "No!"

 She rolled her eyes and snorted at her brother, "You always assign me this boring killing job. It's just the heads of ten low-level female cultivators. It's really boring!"

 Hearing her say this, Chen Yao guessed that it was she who sneaked into Li's house last night and killed the ten people around Li Huonan, which stunned him.

 Knowing this, he looked at Jiang Bailin with a little more seriousness.

 Jiang Bailin seemed to have guessed his thoughts and smiled at him: "Follow me! I guarantee you'll master this killing skill in three years!"

 Chen Yao was really tempted.

 "Nonsense, brother Yu, please don't offend me." Jiang Baisha scolded coldly again.

 Jiang Bailin complained, "It's so hard to meet someone with such a strong killing intent! I don't care, I'm going to follow you anyway."

 Jiang Baisha waved his sleeves and ignored her, but it seemed that he tacitly agreed that she should follow the group.

 Jiang Bailin simply pulled Chen Yao's arm and sat down on the side of the flying boat.

 Her soft buttocks, which were bulging from the side of the boat, pressed against Chen Yao, and the rich body fragrance on her body made Chen Yao's heart wander.

 He unconsciously moved closer to Jiang Bailin, and Jiang Bailin also moved closer to him, his eyes also blurred.

 It was not until Chen Yao's nose touched Jiang Bailin's delicate and soft nose that they both shocked and quickly separated.

 At this time, Jiang Baisha and Qingfeng heard the noise, turned around, and saw the two people shyly looking to the side. They felt puzzled, but their minds were on Xiaokunshan, so they did not ask and quickly turned their heads back.

 Chen Yao now understood that it was the snake scales that affected his and Jiang Bailin's minds.

 Jiang Bailin understood, of course. He secretly glanced at his brother's back and snorted, "What the hell did you get?"

 Chen Yao could only smile bitterly.

 Jiang Bailin glared at him and poked him lightly with her slender finger: "I'm warning you! Next time if you try to use this as an excuse to flirt with me, I'll kick you down!"

 "Who flirted with you?"

Chapter 243 Do you want to call me aunt too?

 Looking at Jiang Bailin's angry eyes, Chen Yao was too lazy to say more to her. While silently practicing the "Dongling Miaoxuan Qingxin Jue" to clear his mind and desires, he carefully examined the snake scales in the jade box in his arms.

 Seeing that he ignored him, Jiang Bailin took the initiative to talk to Chen Yao.

 "This snake scale has an extraordinary origin, mainly because it was found near the mouth of the Fire Brocade Chen Snake in Xianku Mountain."

 "Fire Jinchen Snake?"

 Chen Yao had only been to Jiujiang once and was not very familiar with the local customs and geographical wonders of Jiujiang.

 "The Fire Brocade Chen Snake has been practicing Taoism for nearly nine hundred years. Its fire magic power makes even Divine Transformation cultivators have to avoid its edge. It can be said to be the leader of the fire-attributed snakes and pythons in the South China Sea."

 After hearing Jiang Bailin's words, Chen Yao's heart moved.

 The Three Purple Fire-Swallowing Python also has fire attributes. Is it possible to enhance its strength and achieve further advancement by swallowing the scales of the Fire-Golden Chen Snake?

 If this Fire-Golden Snake is really as powerful as people say, then the Three Purple Fire-Swallowing Python might be able to reach the Golden Core strength.

 At this time, the speeding flying boat passed through the sea of ​​clouds. The sun was shining brightly, and a gust of hot wind rolled up wisps of clouds and mist. The flying boat shook a few times, and then passed through the sea of ​​clouds again.

 Jiang Baisha loosened his grip.

 With a look of suspicion on his face, he looked around, but when he found nothing unusual, he relaxed again.

 Jiang Bailin seemed particularly interested in Chen Yao and nudged him with his elbow: "Hey, you're only at the foundation-building stage, how can you have such a strong murderous intent?"

 Chen Yao still didn't know what her murderous intention meant, so he could only say, "I'm pretty kind, right?"

 Jiang Bailin chuckled: "This has nothing to do with personality, but with how many powerful people you have killed. You have such a strong murderous intent, almost like the ancestor, and it seems that you have killed many Yuanying cultivators. It's really strange."

 Chen Yao didn't expect that she could actually see it. He was startled and smiled calmly.

 "However, let alone you being in the Foundation Establishment stage, even if you were a Golden Core, you wouldn't be able to kill so many Yuanying cultivators. The world is so vast, there are all kinds of wonders, and any wonder must be due to opportunities."
