Chapter 335 Past Dreams 6
Lan Xichen's face froze slightly, then he smiled slyly: "Just do it first and report later."
"Nonsense!" Lan Qiren scolded lightly.
Lan Xichen: "In urgent situations, we should act expediently. I will secretly abdicate first and then go to receive my punishment. As for the formal announcement and the holding of Jingyi's enthronement ceremony, we can wait until Wangji and Wuxian return from the far west before proceeding."
Lan Qiren hesitated for a moment, but couldn't hold back any longer: "Xichen, even if you plan everything meticulously, sixty-six lashes of the discipline whip would be too much for even an iron man like you. Wangji took more than two years to recover from his injuries. If you do this, even if you manage to hide it from them at first, they won't be able to hide your injuries from them when they come back!"
"In the end, didn't they still find out?"
Seeing Lan Qiren's "I've gone to great lengths" expression, Lan Xichen calmly replied, "I don't intend to receive it all at once. I can receive it in six installments. Each time, it will be eleven discipline whips. With my cultivation and my fourth grand-uncle's superb medical skills, I can easily deceive Wangji and the others without any flaws."
Seeing that he had thought things through, Lan Qiren felt a little annoyed and didn't want to argue with this stubborn mule anymore. But then he thought about it and his brows furrowed with worry: "I wonder if Wangji and Wuxian's trip will go smoothly!"
Lan Xichen immediately reassured him, "Uncle, don't worry. Wangji's cultivation is profound, and Wuxian's demonic cultivation is unfathomable. We will surely be able to obtain the Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Jade Marrow and the Thousand-Year Mi Kui as we wish on our journey to the far west."
"I hope so!" Lan Qiren murmured absentmindedly. "Wuxian has suffered for most of his life. I hope Heaven will have the virtue of compassion and grant him his wish!"
The Blood Jade of Ten Thousand Years is said to have miraculous effects in shaping and solidifying the soul. It was a rare treasure sought after by sages in ancient times for its effects on the soul. It is also the most superior treasure for countless vengeful ghosts to cleanse their souls of malevolent energy and impurities, stabilize and solidify their souls, and use their ghost bodies to build a foundation for cultivation!
It is said that its marrow can even summon back ghosts whose souls have been scattered or shattered, and heal the wounds on their souls!
The Millennium Mist Mist is a type of immortal branch that ancient powerful beings would use to cultivate their chosen juniors. It is said that by dripping three to five drops of one's heart's blood into the heart of the Millennium Mist Mist and then placing it in a spiritual vein with abundant spiritual energy for three to five months, one can reshape the body of the person who received the heart's blood.
The reconstructed body is no different from the original body, and its spiritual meridians are open and their width is many times greater than that of ordinary people. It has an extremely high degree of compatibility with the Qi of heaven and earth and the laws of heaven. In addition, the whole body is transparent and free of impurities, making it the most suitable innate holy spirit body for cultivation!
Because of the miraculous effects of these two strange items, they had already disappeared in the middle of ancient times, and by the time of Wenmao, they had become a historical legend. No one had ever seen their traces, and people at the time thought they were just folk tales from the mountains, villages, and markets.
Unexpectedly, last year, when Wei Wuxian, inspired by his cultivation, went to cultivate deeper into the Burial Mound with Lan Wangji, he reunited with Wei Chaoyan, the earthbound female ghost he had subdued. Not only did he retrieve the remnant souls of the Wen Qing lineage, but with the help of the female ghost Wei Chaoyan, he also found the remains and extremely weak spirits of Zezang and his wife.
With the help of the female ghost Wei Chaoyan, they found several relatively intact storage bracelets, seemingly left by ancient cultivators, in the deepest part of the mass grave.
Information about the effects, appearance, harvesting, storage, and use of the Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Jade Marrow and the Thousand-Year Sunflower, as well as the existence of these two items in a secret realm in the far west, when the secret realm will open, and how to enter, was all obtained from an obsidian jade slip inside the storage bracelet!
At the time, Wei Wuxian and his companions could not distinguish between truth and falsehood, but they decided to go and find out for themselves. If it was true, that would be great. If it was false, they would just treat it as another trip, only that they went a little further and took a little longer!
More than two months have passed since Wei Wuxian and the others set off. Based on the messages they sent back, Lan Xichen secretly calculated that there was still at least half a year before their return. That's why he decided to take advantage of this gap to get everything settled as soon as possible. This is also the reason why he was so confident and sure that he could keep it from Lan Wangji and the others without any leaks!
"Uncle." Seeing that Lan Qiren seemed a little distressed, Lan Xichen immediately changed the subject without showing any emotion. "Would you like me to accompany you to the Cold Pool Cave to check on the soul repair of Senior Wei, Senior Cangse, and Miss Wen? Today is the perfect day for the check!"
Lan Qiren's attention was indeed immediately diverted. He reached out and gently patted Lan Xichen's slender hand that was supporting him, and sighed, "No need, I'll go by myself. Xichen, you still have many things to take care of, so go and get busy!"
After saying that, without waiting for Lan Xichen's reaction, he directly pushed away the hand that Lan Xichen was supporting, and with a complicated and deep expression, he walked slowly towards the Cold Pool Cave with his hands behind his back.
The figure walking against the dim afterglow of the sky grew longer and longer with each step. The waist, which was usually as straight as a green bamboo or an old pine, was now inexplicably hunched over. Against the backdrop of the darkening sky, it looked particularly unsteady and desolate!
Lan Xichen stood still, silently watching Lan Qiren's receding figure. The desolate and forlorn feeling emanating from that figure was like a series of whips lashing his heart, instantly tearing it to shreds. "Uncle!"
After a moment of silence, Lan Xichen, his eyes red and his face unusually handsome, turned around without hesitation and headed towards the mountain gate, his destination—Qinghe Impure World!
