Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1569 The Untamed 49

Although Jiang Cheng was completely unacceptable to the food at the Cloud Recesses, as a guest, especially a distinguished guest who was about to enter into a real marriage contract with the Lan family, it would be disrespectful for Lan Qiren and his nephew Lan Huan not to hold a sumptuous welcoming banquet, which was something Lan Qiren could not tolerate at all.

Fortunately, the Lan family's formal banquets did not include the dishes provided to Lan family disciples in the dining hall. Regardless of the taste, the dishes were nutritious and good for the body. Most of them were local dishes unique to Gusu and normal dishes developed by the Lan family themselves. Although the taste was a bit too light and sweet, they were still considered to be full of color, fragrance and taste.

On the way back to the cold room to rest, Jiang Cheng suddenly stood in front of Lan Zhan and walked backwards, pretending to be frightened but relieved at the same time, saying, "You don't know how worried I am tonight. I'm afraid that I will have to eat a bitter and astringent meal that is only good for my health..."

Lan Zhan felt distressed when he saw Jiang Cheng wrinkling his nose, and hurriedly explained, "I've already agreed with brother that Cloud Recesses has hired a few skilled chefs to take care of tonight's banquet. It's a pity that skilled chefs who know Yunmeng cuisine are hard to find, so the only dish we have is the pork ribs and lotus root soup..."

Jiang Cheng said this just to tease Lan Zhan, without any other intention. Now that Lan Zhan was serious, he quickly said, "Of course I know that the Lan Clan is very disciplined with its disciples, and of course they won't require the same from outsiders. It's just that we will become Taoist companions in the future. You are from the Jiang Clan, and I am also a relative of the Lan Clan. I'm afraid there will be many times when we can give each other special treatment."

Speaking of special treatment, Lan Zhan couldn't help but think of the mountains and rivers in the back mountain that were harmed by the disaster.

Originally, the Lan family disciples did not kill, so the fish in the streams and pools and the various small animals in the forest grew freely and were not even afraid of people. As a result, Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying came to listen to their lessons, and they made the birds, beasts, insects and fish develop a sense of crisis.

Jiang Cheng had his own unique perspective on this: "The Cloud Recesses is, after all, a rare place with abundant spiritual energy. Whether it's the creatures swimming in the water or running in the woods, they should be cleared out regularly to maintain a reasonable number and prevent an overabundance."

Lan Zhan glanced at Jiang Cheng with a cold look, but who was Jiang Cheng?

He was even more unreasonable and arrogant than Wei Ying. He even argued more confidently, "You only care about clearing out the large wild beasts in the Cloud Recesses, but you don't realize that many small animals have lost their natural enemies and will reproduce unchecked. Fortunately, the spiritual energy here is so abundant that the damaged vegetation and soil can be quickly restored. Otherwise, this mountain would have been desolate long ago."

It was not a good idea to drink tea at night for fear of not being able to sleep. Seeing that Jiang Cheng looked a little bored, Lan Zhan sat on the couch and lifted a wooden board from the head of the bed, revealing a space about three feet long underneath.

Jiang Cheng stretched his neck and saw what seemed to be a few white porcelain bottles hidden inside. "What is this? It's so precious?"

Lan Zhan took out two porcelain bottles with a little pride, and Jiang Cheng recognized them at a glance as the Tian Zi Xiao he had drunk when he came to attend the class!

Sitting down next to Lan Zhan, Jiang Cheng couldn't wait to take a bottle of Tianzixiao from Lan Zhan's hand. He pulled out the cork and put it to his nose to smell it, shaking his head and praising it: "This Tianzixiao is clear but not harsh, pure but not evil, and has a delicate fragrance. It is really rare. It's a pity that it was produced in Caiyun Town, so some of the pearls have been lost in the dark."

Jiang Cheng finished the bottle in his hand in one breath, and vaguely remembered that he had collected two large jars in the space. Now that so many years have passed, it must be even more delicious. It’s a pity that he doesn’t know when he can use the space again.

However, the resources in this world are not abundant enough. Although he can refine some storage bags with large space, they are still not as useful as space. Not only are they easy to lose when crossing the void, they are also easy to be damaged.

What's more, his soul is now completely sealed, and he relies on Changsheng's protection to cross the void. If he carries other objects, he will be sending his coordinates in all directions.

Lan Zhan stared at Jiang Cheng's increasingly red lips, his mind full of the scene of tasting pine honey wine that day. Some words came out of his mouth without thinking: "I want to know what Tianzixiao tastes like..."

Jiang Cheng was a little depressed and almost didn't react. Fortunately, he was not a person who didn't understand romance. He turned around and ran into Lan Zhan's clear eyes, almost drowning in Lan Zhan's infinite tenderness and affection.

Lan Zhan finally tasted the flavor of Tian Zi Xiao, but he got drunk as soon as he touched the wine. As usual, Jiang Cheng personally helped him wash up and forced him to lie on the couch before he finally calmed down.

This is not the Lotus Pier. If Lan Zhan suddenly started singing loudly or went to the back mountain to fish and hunt pheasants, I'm afraid Lan Qiren's little heart wouldn't be able to bear it.

Jiang Cheng stayed with Lan Zhan in the Cloud Recesses for a few more days in sweet happiness. Outside, Jin Guangshan suddenly broke up with his confidant, Sect Master Qin, causing most of the arrangements of Qiongqi Dao to fall apart. Now, the only ones left were those who refused to give up the huge pie drawn by Jin Guangshan. They were only interested in profit and would not give up until the Jiang family bleeds some money.

Jiang Cheng was too lazy to care about the affairs of Qiongqi Dao. Later, the news that Jin Guangshan attacked Baixue Temple for Xue Yang, the descendant of Xue Chonghai, and asked Xue Yang to copy the Yin Iron and use the copied Yin Iron to refine a zombie for Wen Ruohan quickly spread among the hundreds of immortal families.

Although the Jiang family had not yet captured Xue Yang, it was a fact that the Baixue Temple was attacked innocently, and not only did many disciples die or get injured, but even Xue Yang, who was imprisoned in the temple and had wiped out the Chang family of Liyang, was kidnapped.

Jiang didn't want to push Xue Yang out to prove Jin Guangshan's evil intentions, but Sect Master Qin really hated Jin Guangshan so much that he directly made the reason for breaking up with Jin Guangshan into worrying about Jin Guangshan's behavior towards Wen Ruohan, which indirectly confirmed Jin Guangshan's guilt.

Originally, the Nie family had sent people to assist Jin Guangshan in leading most of the immortal sects to Qiongqi Road, hoping that the Jiang family would give the world a satisfactory answer regarding the Yin Iron matter, but they did not expect that things would turn out like this. Nie Mingjue personally went to Qiongqi Road to ask Jin Guangshan to prove his innocence, and also wrote a letter inviting Jiang Cheng to meet at Qiongqi Road.

Nie Mingjue had to be given face after all. Lan Huan, the Immortal Leader, had previously expressed his attitude along with Lan Qiren. Now that the three major families had gathered in Qiongqi Road, Lan Huan had to go, whether on behalf of the Lan family or as the Immortal Leader.

Jin Guangshan, the old fellow, is insidious enough and is very good at pretending to be perfunctory. Not all the members of the Liyang Chang family escaped. There is a branch member named Chang Ping who is still alive. Now he is a lackey of Jin Guangshan. He personally stood up and said that the extermination of the Chang family was not Xue Yang's fault. It was because someone did not know him well and did not investigate the truth.
