"If you keep talking, I will send you to the Imperial Palace," Nangong Ling said slowly, "I heard that Nanny is back and is worried about no one to serve the Emperor and Empress. I think you are quite suitable."
"Well, not really..."
Hearing Nangong Ling's words, Nangong Mian subconsciously shrank his head.
She was helpless against her sister Nangong Ling, and she was only afraid of the Empress...
But why did Mammy come back... Is it because of Sister Xue’s matter
Now the entire Great Qin Immortal Dynasty has known about the disappearance of the little princess, and the Nangong Holy Land has naturally also received the news.
Nangong Mian, who had had contact with Princess Snow, was even visited, but of course they couldn't talk about anything.
Nangong Ling had already arranged his itinerary and would be heading to the Imperial Palace in a while to serve as the little princess's teacher.
As a result, before she set out, the little princess died, and the plan had to be shelved.
Because of this, Nangong Ling rarely has some free time and doesn't have to rush around for clan affairs.
Otherwise, as the youngest immortal in the clan, Nangong Ling is very busy on weekdays. How could he possibly stay here leisurely to watch over Nangong Mian and prevent her from going out and doing other things again
"It's just... Sister, I can't form a pill even if I stay at home." Nangong Mian said with a bitter face, "To realize the Tao and form a pill, there must be a dragon field to realize the Tao, right?"
Nangong Ling pondered for a moment after hearing this, but did not deny it. "That's true, but enlightenment... is very mysterious. There are not many examples in ancient books, so it's hard to refer to."
It's not that no one has successfully achieved enlightenment and formed an elixir from ancient times until now, but that there are no detailed records.
In ancient books, it may be just a simple sentence that someone successfully attained enlightenment and formed an elixir at a certain time and place, and that’s all.
What's more... not many cultivators who have attained enlightenment and formed a golden elixir can break through the shackles. Their achievements are not much different from those of ordinary Tiandan Jindan. It is ridiculous to think that they can be promoted to the Great Sage through this.
"We can't just do nothing without any reference, right?" Nangong Mian snorted, "We need to travel around, gain experience, and compete with others in the secret realm."
"Don't give me that. Just show this rhetoric to your Sixth Uncle." Nangong Ling rolled his eyes at Nangong Mian and said, "I think you just want to continue to mess around. Do you know how many times your Third Uncle has complained about you?"
"I do all this for cultivation, cultivation..." Nangong Mian said guiltily.
"In the beginning, it was you who insisted on practicing this inheritance. I stood up to the warnings of the clan for you because I believed in you. As a result... I got an invincible person of the same level who couldn't break through to the Jindan stage."
Having said that, Nangong Ling sighed softly.
She knew very well that Nangong Mian's enlightenment and pill-forming process might take hundreds or even thousands of years, and perhaps he would have to wait until a special opportunity came along before he could succeed.
It is also possible...
Unable to succeed.
From then on, he was trapped at the peak of foundation building until his lifespan was exhausted and he died.
Nangong Ling from the Jiexian Realm has a lifespan that spans across eras, so of course he doesn't want to see his own sister grow old first.
And for the Nangong clan, a clan member who can only stay at the peak of foundation building but is invincible is also a very troublesome existence.
She can live for thousands of years and can bring harm to all the disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage for thousands of years!
The accumulation of these resources can only make Nangong Mian more and more invincible in building the foundation, but it is just building the foundation after all.
Nangong Ling suddenly regretted agreeing to Nangong Mian. If her sister had not embarked on this path, perhaps... this predicament would not have occurred.
"... elder sister?"
Nangong Mian still maintained an innocent expression, looking up at the slightly dazed Nangong Ling, looking like a pitiful puppy.
But this poor little dog is the nightmare of all Nangong disciples in the foundation-building stage...
"You definitely can't go to the Jindan Secret Realm. My uncles have already given me death orders. If I let you in... I will lose face."
Nangong Ling said helplessly, "As for going out to train... I think you have experienced enough. Do you want to go to the southern wilderness? That is not a place where foundation-building cultivators can set foot."
Even though I heard recently that the wild tribes in the south have been integrated, and even His Majesty is willing to personally visit the south, it shouldn't be the same as before.
But... the turmoil of tens of thousands of years cannot be eased in a short period of time.
The Southern Wilderness sounds like it is only a part of the Great Qin Dynasty, but in fact its territory is so vast that it even reaches two-thirds of the Great Qin Dynasty.
However, most of these areas are restricted areas, deadly places that even the Crossing Sea Realm dare not easily set foot in.
Among the barbaric tribes, most are monsters.
He is not a human with demon blood, but a real big demon.
Most of these monsters are bloodthirsty and brutal by nature, and some even like to devour the flesh and blood of monks. Even if they have consciousness, it is difficult to communicate with them.
Moreover, there were constant blood feuds between tribes, with fighting and war occurring every moment.
Who on earth has the ability to bring them together... In fact, Nangong Ling is also very curious.
"The wild south... Don't worry, I won't go there." Nangong Mian shook his head like a rattle, "At least get the Nascent Soul. It feels very dangerous without the Nascent Soul..."
Nangong Mian is not stupid. How could a foundation-building cultivator without a tribal background survive in such a place? He would simply become food for the big monster.
"... You should form the elixir first." Nangong Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly thought of something, and said, "By the way, you just want to go out, right?"
"Yeah, I'm almost suffocating staying at home like a fool!" Nangong Mian nodded repeatedly and looked at Nangong Ling hopefully.
Nangong Ling's mouth curled up slightly with a hint of ill intention, and said,
"In that case, the Tiandan Secret Realm that has been opened recently..."
"Um?"
Hearing this, Nangong Mian's eyelashes trembled slightly and he almost pricked up his ears.
Could it be that my sister suddenly became kind-hearted and agreed to let me go into the secret realm
“—You can become the guardian of your sixth uncle’s lineage.” Nangong Ling said with a smile.
"ah?"
Nangong Mian was stunned for a moment.
Protect, protect the law
What does a Dharma Protector do? A Dharma Protector is just a gatekeeper!
Generally, when entering a secret realm, guardians will be stationed outside the secret realm to avoid accidents and to prevent being attacked by others after leaving the secret realm.
Of course, for a secret realm of the foundation-building and core-forming level, the Nangong clan does not need to go out into the outside world and fight with others. The secret realm is contested by disciples from several lineages.
Apart from the unreasonable weirdo Nangong Mian, competitions in secret realms are all good places to exchange and practice.
Because they are all from the Nangong clan, the so-called guardians are actually a few old guys who find an excuse to get together and be lazy. In theory, they are useless...
If Nangong Mian becomes a guardian, not to mention the issue of guarding the door, the more important thing is... he will meet the old guys from other lineages.
When she was looting secret realms everywhere, she had harmed all the foundation-building disciples, including the lineage of her sixth uncle. These old guys were worried that they would not have the chance to torture her.
Nangong Mian becoming a guardian is simply walking into a trap.
"how?"
Nangong Ling asked with a smile.
"... Can I refuse?" Nangong Mian started to act pitiful again.
"Of course," Nangong Ling nodded, "Just stay at home for the next few days and don't go anywhere. I'll take you to the ancestral land in a while. Don't you want to gain enlightenment? It should be good to gain enlightenment in the ancestral land."
"Sister, my dear sister, you can't force your sister like this!" Nangong Mian cried, "I am your biological sister, can you really bear it?"
Enlightenment in the ancestral land is even more outrageous. What kind of place is the ancestral land? It is another deadly place filled with the flames of purgatory. Otherwise, why would the Nangong clan move out
Legend has it... an ancient mythical beast once perished there, and its resentment has not dissipated until now.
"Are you going?"
Nangong Ling asked cheerfully.
Originally, she was chosen by her sixth uncle's lineage to be the protector of this secret realm. Now that there was an opportunity to send Nangong Mian over to take his place, she was quite happy and relieved.
What's more, those old guys should be very happy to see this scene...
As for Nangong Mian’s own opinion, it was not very important. Just consider it as a lesson for her.
"It's no use if I say I won't go."
Nangong Mian's expression suddenly became dispirited and he became dejected.
"That's settled."
Nangong Ling snapped his fingers and pushed the wheelchair into the inner room.
Nangong Mian sighed, followed her and pushed her.
"Hehe... How long has it been since you helped me push the wheelchair like this?" Nangong Ling loosened his hand and placed it gracefully on his abdomen.
“I can’t remember, it should be a few years.” Nangong Mian said.
"You were still very short then," Nangong Ling said softly, "although you're still about the same now."
"elder sister!"
Nangong Mian pouted in dissatisfaction.
Height has always been her pain, and only the little princess is shorter than her.
"I can't stand up, but am I not shorter than you?"
Nangong Ling smiled slightly and gently touched his completely necrotic legs.
She had suffered a serious spiritual injury before, and the sequelae left was that she could never use her legs again, and even rebuilding her body could not heal her.
"... ..."
Nangong Mian didn't say anything, but just looked at Nangong Ling silently.
"Promise sister," Nangong Ling whispered, "Don't give up, okay
"Sister will always be waiting for you on the other side of time."
"... Um."
... ...
A week later, Nangong Holy Land.
The Nangong clan is not considered an ancient clan that lives in seclusion, and the Nangong Holy Land is not only accessible to members of the Nangong clan.
In fact, Nangong Holy Land is somewhat similar to the Imperial Capital. Both are huge cities built under the influence of a powerful force. They gather many monks from all over the place, and there are also other forces stationed here.
Its prosperity is slightly lower than that of the imperial capital, but still not low.
Although Luo Xue's location at that time was only five or six hours away from Nangong Holy Land by plane, if it were a Nascent Soul cultivator who could fly a sword, it would probably take only a short while to arrive there.
But unfortunately, Luo Xue couldn't even control the air to fly, and could only rely on her body skills to escape far away.
In addition, there are many dangers in the deep mountains, and in order to avoid some restricted areas, we have to take a long detour.
So, when Luo Xue approached the Nangong Holy Land, a whole week had passed.
Luo Xue had already made sufficient preparations. She first changed her appearance into Miss Ghost—mainly because she would have too many flaws when using other costumes and would be easily discovered. Then she took out the universal currency she had prepared earlier and prepared to find a place to stay temporarily.
Luo Xue will not make the same mistake again that she made at Guimoguan.
only...
"They're all full? Why?"
Luo Xue stared at the owner of the eighteenth hotel and asked.
"Ah, you don't know," the hotel owner sighed and said, "It's because of the recent Tiandan Secret Realm..."
Chapter 177: Changes in the Tiandan Secret Realm, Encounter at the Treasure House
"Heavenly Pill Secret Realm?" Luo Xue was slightly stunned. "Is it... the Nangong clan?"
"Hmm? Aren't you here for the secret realm?"
The innkeeper was a little surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Luo Xue a few more times.
At this time, Luo Xue did not hide her peak foundation-building cultivation. It was because of this that the boss thought that Luo Xue was like other cultivators, who had come to the holy land after hearing about the Tiandan secret realm.
Luo Xue took out two standard spirit jades, placed them on the counter, and moved towards the boss - this was a treasure refined from spirit stones, similar to Qi Condensation Pills, but more refined than Qi Condensation Pills and without many side effects.
In the Great Qin Dynasty, this thing is hard currency.
The boss calmly put away the jade and said,
