Chapter 309 Xue Lan Quietly
After sending Xue Tong out, Xue Lan felt completely relieved and obediently packed up the dream demons that Xue Tong had selected and put them back into her sleeve.
Half an hour later, the dazed girl came to her senses and said domineeringly to Xue Lan, "Don't worry, she probably won't want to talk to you for a while."
Xue Lan was overjoyed and immediately called out to her inner demon in her sea of consciousness. She called out several times with sincere emotion, but the inner demon did not respond.
Xue Tong saw Xue Lan give her a thumbs up.
The girl waved her hand, indicating that it was a small matter, and looked into Xue Lan's gray eyes, asking, "When do you plan to leave?"
Xue Lan chuckled softly: "You start by asking about the time. Aren't you worried I won't be able to leave?"
The girl looked at her hands, her tone full of certainty:
"Having been tied to you for so many years, putting aside everything else, just on this journey alone, you have never made a mistake."
Xue Lan was a little embarrassed: "Thank you for your trust, thank you for your trust."
She felt she should be proud, but something also felt off.
The woman said self-deprecatingly, "I hope that when I encounter a crisis in the future, my skills in running away will still be invincible."
Xue Tong asked again, "So when are you leaving?"
Xue Lan looked around: "They definitely won't leave too early; it would attract too much attention."
"I modified the refining method of Luo Shengzi before, and I will definitely teach it to the disciples of the War Puppet Mansion who are left here before I leave." The woman said, a strange smile appearing on her face.
In Xue Tong's view, it carried a rare hint of guilt.
"You can't be too flamboyant when you're teaching this."
It's best not to reveal anything in front of Daoist Qingyin.
The thought of having to handle everything here discreetly and without leaving a mess made Xue Lan feel immense pressure.
"Why can't my grandmaster leave Qingshuitai for no reason?" Xue Lan wondered.
"Don't even think about it, you know it's impossible." Xue Tong poured cold water on her hopes.
"I know, my senior uncle told me about it a few days ago." Xue Lan nodded.
"The demons retreated to the depths of the desolate region with the children who successfully absorbed the demon seed. Seniors Yuehua and Cuiling went deep into the desolate region to investigate and will not be back for a while. Senior Chilian returned to the War Puppet Mansion."
Qingyin Daojun and Xuanji Zhenren are now the only two remaining members of Qingshuitai, and neither of them can be missing.
Xue Lan pondered for a moment: "I am quite interested in what kind of rituals the demons are performing in the desolate region."
"Let's wait until Senior Yuehua returns and has a better understanding of the situation in the depths of the desolate region before we leave."
"That's exactly what I was thinking," Xue Tong said. "As for how to keep it from your grandmaster, I have a good plan..."
At midnight, the disciples of the War Puppet Mansion looked at the dark cave in front of them and trembled with fear.
One of the young men looked at his fellow disciples, his voice trembling, "No, why did Senior Sister Xue make us come here secretly in the middle of the night? Is that reasonable?"
Beside him stood a capable woman in red, who spoke up upon hearing this: "I've heard from Junior Sister Wu that Senior Sister Xue, as the youngest Grandmaster of Weapon Forging in the entire Yuanming Lower Realm, has never done anything reasonable."
The disciples exclaimed in surprise, "Ah?"
Just as the group was still in shock, a soft footstep sound came from the dark cave.
The footsteps were slow, but the rhythm was steady, like some small animal quietly approaching.
A moment later, everyone saw a small candle flame lit up in the dark cave.
The candlelight didn't illuminate a large area, and the group could barely make out a well-behaved smiling face.
Xue Lan's gray eyes were actually softer at night than they had been before, when they were as deep as a pool of water.
Her not-so-bright eyes couldn't reflect the candlelight, but were instead bathed in a faint, warm glow from one side.
The woman spoke softly, "Xue Lan's eyes haven't been very good these past few days, and she can't be exposed to sunlight. I'm so sorry to trouble you all to come so late at night."
This is the solution Xue Tong came up with for Xue Lan.
Summon these disciples at night, and taking advantage of the full moon these two days, use the power of the moon to deceive Daoist Qingyin.
Although it does sound a bit crazy, Qingyin Daojun really couldn't have imagined it.
The main theme is defeating a Nascent Soul stage cultivator using the simplest methods.
Xue Lan slightly turned to invite her in: "Xue Lan has some questions about weapon crafting that she would like to ask. Please come in."
The group looked at each other in bewilderment, but in the end they obediently entered the cave.
After all, he is a grandmaster of weapon crafting, so this small request is no big deal.
Furthermore, once a weapon refiner begins refining a weapon, it can take several months, spent in a cave where the sun never shines and their days and nights are reversed.
Even cultivators don't need to sleep. They all obediently followed them inside, and only after entering the cave did some of them realize what was happening.
Even during the day, weapon refiners can't see sunlight inside their caves!
Before he could fully process what was happening, Xue Lan closed the door to the weapon-refining cave.
With a gentle smile, the woman asked, "Is there anything you'd like to ask, junior brother?"
"No, no!" The young man waved his hand, his face pale.
Xue Tong lit the candles in the cave and secretly sent a telepathic message to Xue Lan: "What did you do to scare the child like this?"
"Even the burning candle flames weren't as trembling as this person."
Xue Lan walked forward helplessly. As she passed the trembling young man, a faint stream of light flew from the woman's fingertip. It flew out from the crack in the cave entrance and landed on the ground in front of the door.
On the ground, an extremely complex magic seal slowly appeared, erasing all traces of the group's presence.
Ultimately, Xue Lan was afraid of Daoist Qingyin; she was terrified.
I don't know why, but it's most likely due to a lineage of disciples.
The disciples of the War Puppet Mansion were initially somewhat fearful, after all, they were all about the same age as Xue Lan and knew about the Jiyue Mountain Incident back then.
If Xue Lan were a heretic bewitched by the demons, even in the dead of night at the Qingshuitai camp, there's no guarantee that something wouldn't happen.
However, these minor concerns vanished without a trace after seeing the treasures in Xue Lan's cave.
"Is this the Spirit-Trapping Grass? This is the first time I've ever seen it... Isn't this a medicinal herb?"
"This is Fire Spirit Soil. Hey, isn't this a specialty of the War Puppet Mansion that they don't deliver to other places?"
……
The Spirit-Binding Grass was secretly stolen from the herb garden that Yin Shishi was guarding by Master Xuanji many years ago.
I shamelessly stole the Fire Spirit Soil from the War Puppet Mansion not long ago.
Xue Lan felt a little embarrassed, but she subtly separated the weapon refiners from her cabinet.
"Fellow Daoists, fellow Daoists!" Xue Lan raised his voice.
"Xue Lan is just a minor weapon refiner. The main reason I've called everyone here is about Luo Shengzi."
A junior weapon refiner?
The group looked at Xue Lan, then at the materials behind her.
Everyone: "We don't believe it."
Pretending not to notice the speechless expression on the person's face, Xue Lan began to explain about the Luo Shengzi redesign.
Fortunately, the children of the War Puppet Mansion were all good children. After listening to Xue Lan say a few words, they realized that what he said was of great use to the battlefield situation.
They suppressed their questions and listened attentively to Xue Lan's explanation.
Xue Tong watched from the side, feeling extremely gratified.
In the dimly lit room with warm lights, Xue Lan's evening tutoring class officially began!
