Chapter 48: Mrs. Lan's Charm
About half a month had passed, and Qi Yuan, Xin Ruyin and Xiaomei were living in an inn in the Tianxing Sect market.

During this period, he secretly returned to Jinma City several times and went to the nameless hill to observe the situation according to the residential address given by Xin Ruyin.

Sure enough, there were some sneaky people wandering around. Although they had changed their clothes, one could roughly guess that they were from the Chen family.

When Xin Ruyin heard the news, she knew that she could not go back for the time being, so during this time she taught Qi Yuan some basic knowledge of formations to compensate for the favor she owed him.

Unexpectedly, although Qi Yuan's comprehension of the formation was not very bad, it was not very outstanding either. This gave her the opportunity to "scold" her predecessor, bringing her a sense of accomplishment and filling the loss of not being able to go back.

However, the Chen family eventually lost some of their strength and their power was greatly reduced. Under the enemy's high-frequency probing, the Chen family had to call back external personnel to fight the enemy together.

Qi Yuan walked out of the inn and looked at the gloomy sky. Behind him were Xin Ruyin and the other girl. He said with a sidelong glance, "Miss Xin, although the Chen family has gone back, there is no guarantee that they will not come back. How about we find a courtyard to live in after returning to Jinma City and see what happens next?"

The Chen family is a small family, without even a Jindan-stage cultivator. How dare they kill people wantonly in Jinma City?
Do you really think that the dignity of the ruler of Jinma City can be trampled upon by anyone?

Xin Ruyin thought for a while and said, "No, my nameless hill is equipped with many formations. The Chen family cannot break through it. Please rest assured, senior."

Since Xin Ruyin has a plan in mind, Qi Yuan will not force her to do anything. Saying too much against her will only cause resentment.

So you need to use sweet words to deal with women.

The three then returned to Jinma City.

Xin Ruyin entered her nameless hill safely.

Qi Yuan returned to Qi Yunxiao's residence and just sat down when a servant came in to report that someone from Xingchen Pavilion had come to invite him over.

Only then did he suddenly remember that Qi Yuan had asked the Stardust Pavilion to spread the news earlier, wanting to buy a powerful escape technique at a high price, but after what happened with the Chen family, he had temporarily forgotten about it.

There are also some good escape techniques in the Stardust Pavilion. After seeing them, Qi Yuan was not satisfied, so he discussed it with the manager of the Stardust Pavilion.

They hope to use their connections and influence to buy a unique escape method.

This included the payment of a deposit of spirit stones.

Qi Yuan did not get up and go over immediately, but asked his servant Qi Yunxiao what had happened in his room recently. He gave all the materials for his Mo Jiao monster to Qi Yunxiao to refine magic weapons. It was almost the agreed time, so he was naturally more concerned about the success or failure.

The servant answered with a look of trepidation and told Qi Yuan everything his master Qi Yunxiao had done.

After listening to it, Qi Yuan waved his hand to send the man away, then changed into clean clothes and walked towards Stardust Pavilion.

The air is prohibited in Jinma City, but land movement speed is not prohibited.

Not long after, Qi Yuan arrived at the jewel-filled Stardust Pavilion. As soon as he stepped into the hall, a sharp-eyed waiter came over to greet him.

The gray-clothed waiter smiled flatteringly and said, "Mr. Qi, you are here. Madam Lan has been waiting for you."

The man had been instructed by Mrs. Lan to bring Qi Yuan to see her immediately once he arrived.

Qi Yuan said calmly: "Lead the way..."

When I first met Mrs. Lan, I was indeed quite stunning. The aura of a mature woman was a unique charm that was accumulated over the years and experiences. In addition, she was a beauty when she was young, and her appearance was well-supported. She was actually a middle-aged beauty who still had charm.

Qi Yuan followed the waiter up to the fifth floor and his eyes quickly caught sight of a beautiful woman in a silk dress. She was Mrs. Lan.

However, it seemed that they were entertaining guests, and they could hear some conversation and bargaining through the beaded curtain. The waiter walked in cautiously and whispered a few words to a maid.

Then the maid looked outside and saw Qi Yuan. She walked out quietly and said respectfully, "Master Qi, please follow me first. I will come to see you when Madam has finished her business."

"Okay..." Qi Yuan followed the pretty maid, admiring her back, and said, "Which distinguished guest is Madam Lan entertaining? From what I heard from her voice just now, she was quite careful in her response."

The maid in front whispered, "It's a guest secret, Zi Lian is not allowed to talk nonsense, Master Qi, please forgive me!"

Qi Yuan smiled and didn't care.

Led by Zi Lian, Qi Yuan came to a luxurious room where high-quality incense was burning. After smelling it, he had a calming effect, as if all worries would disappear.

"Mr. Qi, please take a seat. I'll go pour you some tea." Zi Lian bowed and left the room.

Time passed quietly like this.

Qi Yuan drank two cups of spiritual tea in the side room. He didn't see Mrs. Lan coming over, but he didn't look impatient. He was reading a book with great interest.

The door creaked and Zi Lian walked in with a teapot. Seeing Qi Yuan reading seriously, she gently poured him a cup of misty spiritual tea.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he stopped abruptly when he heard words behind him.

"Miss Zi Lian, no matter how delicious this spiritual tea is, it is not advisable to drink too much. If Madam Lan does not want to do business with Qi, just return the deposit. I will never complain."

Qi Yuan kept his eyes on the pages of the book and spoke in a calm tone.

"Master Qi, I..." Zi Lian was about to explain when she was interrupted by the sound of the door opening.

"Master Qi, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. The man just now was a distinguished guest of our Xingchen Pavilion, so it took some time. I apologize to you here."

Mrs. Lan walked in, took the teapot from Zi Lian's hand, winked at the maid to let her go out, and said with a smile.

Qi Yuan put down the book and said, "I dare not. I am just an independent cultivator. How can I ask the honorable Madam Lan to apologize to me?"

Madam Lan smiled charmingly, poured a cup of spiritual tea, held it in front of Qi Yuan, lowered her body, and said in a gentle voice: "Master Qi, have a cup of tea to calm down."

"I've accepted your beauty trap. Now it's time to get down to business, right?" Qi Yuan took the spiritual tea from the beautiful woman Yu's hand and touched her smooth skin without any hesitation, as a signal to calm down.

Mrs. Lan's face did not look angry, but instead a hint of rosy red appeared on it, making her look charming and elegant. It was also because Qi Yuan was very generous and her cultivation level was definitely not what he called a casual cultivator, so she was more tolerant of him.

If it were another Foundation Establishment cultivator who dared to do this to her, he would have been thrown out to feed the dogs long ago.

Do you really think that the Stardust Pavilion is selling sex in exchange for benefits?
Madam Lan sat beside Qi Yuan, looking at his strange face, and said softly, "Mr. Qi, I have found the escape method you asked me to find in Xingchen Pavilion. The other party is a descendant of a family. It was only because the family fell into poverty that they needed spiritual stones, so they happened to meet. But the other party was not satisfied with the price you offered, so he wanted to talk to him face to face. What do you think?"

Qi Yuan took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice: "That's no problem. As long as I like his ability to escape, the price can be renegotiated."

Qi Yuan plans to buy something that can save his life at a critical moment, as long as the price is not too outrageous, and use it to chase or escape!

Considering the speed of the Cloud-Stepping Boots, I think it is one of the best in the foundation-building stage.
