Chapter 283: Are You All Idiots?
Teng Mo was overjoyed.
"There's still a year and a half left. During this time, there will be internal alchemy competitions within the major immortal courts. Brother Xiaobu, you can use this time to improve your alchemy skills. If you need any immortal spirit herbs, just let me know."
"Thank you. I still have some immortal spirit herbs. If Brother Teng can help me get a Fire Origin Crystal, that would be even better," Lan Xiaobu said casually.
He was worried about his immortal flame, which was only at the fourth level.
To refine seventh-grade immortal pills, his immortal flame needed to reach at least the fifth or sixth level.
Hearing Lan Xiaobu's words, Teng Mo's expression turned awkward.
"I really can't get that."
He felt a bit speechless.
A Fire Origin Crystal? Not even his father could probably get one.
Lan Xiaobu was really asking for the moon.
Lan Xiaobu didn't mind.
"If that's the case, forget it. I plan to go into seclusion here for a while. By the way, where are Immortal Officer Jian and Immortal Officer Guang?"
Teng Mo quickly replied, "Immortal Officer Guang is handling a case, and Immortal Officer Jian went with him. Immortal Officer Lan, feel free to go into seclusion. I'll call you when it's time."
"Thank you, Brother Teng," Lan Xiaobu said gratefully.
Teng Mo then took his leave.
With Lan Xiaobu, a great immortal alchemist, by his side, he had a slim chance.
As long as Lan Xiaobu's performance wasn't too far behind the other sons of the immortal court kings, he could make up for it in other areas.
Another reason for seeking out Lan Xiaobu was to show his father that even though his chances were slim, he hadn't given up on the inheritance.
Not only that, but he had also found a great immortal alchemist like Lan Xiaobu.
After Teng Mo left, Lan Xiaobu checked the restrictions in his cave.
The restrictions were only at the third or fourth level, which was quite average.
His main concern was whether there were any monitoring restrictions.
The results of his inspection reassured him.
There were no monitoring restrictions, but the protective arrays and restrictions were poorly set up.
Without hesitation, he removed all the protective arrays and restrictions and set up a sixth-level defensive immortal array and a killing array inside the cave.
Outside the sixth-level defensive array, he also set up several third-level immortal arrays.
After finishing this, Lan Xiaobu took out the mark Bian Yufeng had placed on him.
Previously, his cultivation was too low, so he only managed to peel off the mark without examining it.
Now that he was at the fourth level of the Great Yi Immortal realm, he could thoroughly inspect the mark.
To avoid alerting Bian Yufeng, Lan Xiaobu carefully infiltrated the mark with his divine sense.
Although he was only at the fourth level of the Great Yi Immortal realm, his divine sense was far stronger than Bian Yufeng's.
In a short time, Lan Xiaobu captured the information within Bian Yufeng's divine sense mark.
"This person is a first-level immortal officer of the Forbidden Immortal Bureau..."
The mark only contained this little bit of information.
Lan Xiaobu understood what it meant—it indicated that he was just a first-level immortal officer.
But what was the main purpose of leaving this mark and information? Was it just to tell others that he was a first-level immortal officer? That seemed too absurd.
Perhaps there was another possibility.
Bian Yufeng's accomplices didn't know he had been captured by the Forbidden Immortal Bureau.
By placing this mark on Lan Xiaobu, Bian Yufeng was telling his accomplices that he was imprisoned in the Forbidden Immortal Bureau and that Lan Xiaobu, as a first-level immortal officer, could see him.
If that was the case, it made sense.
That must be the reason.
Lan Xiaobu reattached the divine sense mark to himself and left the Forbidden Immortal Bureau.
He planned to wander around, hoping to attract the attention of Bian Yufeng's accomplices.
To avoid alerting the Forbidden Immortal Bureau, Lan Xiaobu even disguised himself as the former owner of the Yan Family Immortal Manor, Yan Chengjian.
Lan Xiaobu first visited several nearby markets, wandering around each one, but no one approached him.
Frustrated, he headed to Tianjiang Immortal City, the largest city in the Jiangyan Immortal Path.
The city was bustling with cultivators from all over, making it a chaotic place.
After wandering around Tianjiang Immortal City for a while, Lan Xiaobu was disappointed that no one seemed to notice the mark on him.
Bian Yufeng's friends were really unreliable.
He had been so conspicuous, yet no one had noticed him?
After wasting over ten days wandering around, Lan Xiaobu decided to return and question Bian Yufeng directly.
Once inside the Forbidden Immortal Bureau, he was confident he could find out who had that top-grade wood-attribute immortal spirit vein.
As he strolled through the streets, a melodious immortal tune caught his attention.
He saw eight beautiful immortal maidens standing around an immortal carriage, on which sat a woman.
Lan Xiaobu had seen many beautiful women, whether it was Luo Caisi or Liu Li, both of whom were stunning.
Luo Caisi, who hadn't cultivated, couldn't fully display the beauty of an immortal.
But the woman before him was undoubtedly the most beautiful he had ever seen.
Her every glance carried a charm that other women could only envy.
Even sitting, her graceful figure formed an image in everyone's mind—a flawless beauty.
As an onlooker, Lan Xiaobu felt as though the beautiful woman was smiling at him, even though she was far away.
Impressive, Lan Xiaobu thought.
This woman's cultivation technique must be extraordinary.
"This is the eighth daughter of the Star Ascension Immortal Court King, Teng Man'er. Don't think she's just beautiful; her greatest strength isn't her looks. Of course, her beauty is undeniable—she's the most beautiful woman in the Star Ascension Immortal Court," a voice suddenly spoke beside Lan Xiaobu.
Lan Xiaobu turned to see a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey-like features, likely at the late Great Yi Immortal realm.
"What is her greatest strength..."
Lan Xiaobu asked instinctively, but his words abruptly stopped.
He thought to himself, this bastard finally showed up.
At that moment, he felt the divine sense mark Bian Yufeng had placed on him move.
Clearly, the middle-aged man had taken the mark from him.
Not only that, but the man had also placed a new divine sense mark on him.
The man seemed even more pleased after taking the mark and chuckled, "She's a top-tier immortal alchemist. In the entire Star Ascension Immortal Court, no one surpasses her in alchemy talent. She's already half a step into the seventh-grade immortal alchemy king realm and is highly valued by the Star Ascension Immortal Court King. She will definitely participate in the upcoming alchemy competition in the Mysterious Profound Immortal Domain."
"Impressive, truly impressive," Lan Xiaobu said, while secretly placing a divine sense mark on the man.
As the immortal carriage passed, Lan Xiaobu sighed to himself before turning to leave.
He was certain the man would follow him out of the city.
To his surprise, as soon as he walked a short distance, a beautiful green-robed woman stopped him.
He recognized her—she was one of the eight maids accompanying the immortal carriage.
"Sister, what can I do for you?" Lan Xiaobu immediately smiled warmly.
The green-robed woman smiled back, "You're quite sweet. My lady finds you quite special and invites you to tonight's immortal fruit banquet in Tianjiang Immortal City."
With that, she handed Lan Xiaobu a fragrant invitation.
Lan Xiaobu accepted the invitation with exaggerated gratitude, "Thank you for the invitation, I will definitely attend."
The green-robed woman giggled and quickly left.
Once she was gone, Lan Xiaobu casually tossed the invitation into his spatial ring.
Attend a woman's immortal fruit banquet? Did he have that much free time? Besides, he wasn't even showing his real face, so there was nothing to worry about.
After leaving Tianjiang Immortal City, Lan Xiaobu summoned his flying immortal tool and immediately felt the divine sense mark following him.
Without hesitation, he flew away from the city.
Lan Xiaobu flew slowly, heading towards a remote area.
After an hour, the pursuing immortal ship sped up and soon blocked his path.
Lan Xiaobu quickly stopped his ship, looking puzzled at the sharp-mouthed man who had caught up to him.
"What do you mean by this, fellow Daoist?"
The man chuckled, "What do I mean? Didn't you deliberately lead me here?"
Lan Xiaobu put away his ship and sighed inwardly.
He had indeed been too obvious, wandering around with the divine sense mark, and now he'd been caught.
"My name is Fu Xun, and this is my friend, Jiu Tingxuanmu..."
As Fu Xun spoke, a man of average height and ordinary appearance suddenly appeared not far from Lan Xiaobu.
Was this a temporary teleportation? Lan Xiaobu was impressed.
Jiu Tingxuanmu seemed to be at the early Great Zhi Immortal realm, stronger than him.
Jiu Tingxuanmu looked Lan Xiaobu up and down and then smirked, "You led Fu Xun here, so you must be confident you can crush him, right?"
Lan Xiaobu spread his hands, "I don't understand what you're talking about."
At the same time, Lan Xiaobu's divine sense began constructing void array patterns.
He was setting up some trapping array patterns.
He didn't expect these patterns to be of much help in combat, but he hoped they would prevent the other party from escaping quickly.
Although he was only at the mid Great Yi Immortal realm, his immortal energy had been compressed.
If these two underestimated him, he could take one of them by surprise.
Fu Xun said indifferently, "Let's stop pretending. Bian Yufeng placed a divine sense mark on you, but it was peeled off. Not only that, but you've been wandering around markets and cities with the mark. Do you think we're all idiots?"
Lan Xiaobu chuckled, "You are idiots. Look, you're here now. Since you're here, take this halberd strike first."
As he spoke, Lan Xiaobu's halberd swept towards Jiu Tingxuanmu.
