Chapter 47 Meeting the Old Heavenly MasterThe team moved forward slowly, and when it came to Jiang Lan, he reached into the wooden box and casually took out a note, then walked to the side, ready to see who his opponent would be this time.
However, after opening the note, Jiang Lan's expression became strange.
Hidden dragon?
If he remembered correctly, Canglong should be the little fat guy who was eating chicken legs next to Zhang Chulan before?
The one who says he is the king of inspiration?
"Brother Jiang Lan, who is your opponent?"
Zhang Chulan also drew the lot, came to Jiang Lan and asked.
Jiang Lan opened his hands, and Zhang Chulan looked at Jiang Lan's palms.
After seeing the opponent clearly on Jiang Lan's note, Zhang Chulan's expression became strange, "Fatty?"
"Yes, how about you?"
"Let me see." Zhang Chulan opened the note in his hand and said, "Shan Shitong..."
At this moment, Feng Xingtong also came over.
“Green Talisman God?” Feng Xingtong exclaimed: “In the first match, his three opponents couldn’t even last two minutes in front of him.
"The talisman secret technique passed down from Shan Shitong's family is specifically used to seal other people's Qi channels. It is also unlike ordinary talismans that require tedious preparations beforehand, so it is hard to guard against."
Zhang Chulan didn't say anything, his eyes were wandering, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.
"Is it troublesome?" Jiang Lan asked softly.
Feng Xingtong glanced at Jiang Lan and said, "It would be very troublesome for Zhang Chulan. But if you, Jiang Lan..."
He didn't say anything else, but the meaning of his words was already very clear.
It is troublesome for others, but Shan Shitong is still a little bit short of Jiang Lan.
"I will deal with that person tonight." Jiang Lan continued: "I have something else to do, so I will leave first. Let's talk."
Zhang Chulan looked horrified when he heard this.
"Is this the treatment I was thinking of?"
"Don't worry, he won't be on the field tomorrow."
After saying that, Jiang Lan turned around and left without waiting for Zhang Chulan's reaction.
He has more important things to do now than chatting with Zhang Chulan.
Jiang Lan did not forget that the old Taoist priest had told him to come over in the evening.
Following the mountain road, he soon came to an antique building with flying eaves and arched beams.
The building has no name, but Jiang Lan can feel that at this moment, there is a calm and vast aura in the building like a mountain.
Apart from the contemporary Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, no one else can give Jiang Lan this feeling.
Jiang Lan knocked on the door softly, and soon the familiar voice of the old Taoist priest was heard from inside.
"Come in."
Jiang Lan pushed the door open and saw the old Taoist priest sitting on the armchair in the middle of the hall.
Seeing Jiang Lan, a smile appeared on the old Taoist's face.
"Little Jiang Lan is here. Come over here."
Jiang Lan walked up to the old Heavenly Master, clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Junior Jiang Lan, greetings to the old Heavenly Master."
"There are only two of us in the room, so there's no need for any of that fancy stuff." The old Taoist priest held out his hand, "Come here, I'll help you feel your pulse."
Jiang Lan was startled.
It is said that medicine and Taoism are inseparable. I didn't expect that the old master has such ability.
He handed his hand to the old Taoist priest, who placed three fingers on Jiang Lan's left wrist and squinted his eyes. After a while, the old Taoist priest released his hand and said, "There is something in your Dantian that looks like a pill but is not a pill. Do you know that?"
"The old Taoist priest has a keen eye." Jiang Lan flattered him and then told him everything that had happened in Baiyun Temple in the imperial capital.
The old Heavenly Master's eyes showed some enlightenment, and he said, "This can be considered a blessing in disguise. If you continue to practice Quanzhen Inner Alchemy, it would be fine if you fail. Once you succeed, that will be the beginning of trouble."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Lan was a little confused.
"The beast is showing off its power. Even if you can suppress it temporarily, it will explode completely sooner or later." The old Taoist priest said, "If I am not mistaken, the beasts accompanying you should not have fully awakened yet, right?"
Jiang Lan pondered for a while, then took off his shirt and exposed his back to the old master.
Seeing the complicated tattoo on Jiang Lan's back, even the old Taoist priest couldn't help but change his expression slightly.
"As you can see, from the time I was seven years old until now, only Taotie has awakened."
The old Taoist priest was silent for a moment.
"The 'inner elixir' in your Dantian was created by this Taotie?"
Jiang Lan nodded.
After entering into meditation, he immediately lost consciousness and knew nothing about what happened afterwards.
And the inner elixir had already appeared in his dantian after he woke up.
"That's it. I didn't sense any negative emotions from you just now. On the contrary, your inner core is full of malice. If nothing unexpected happens, your inner core has become a place for strange beasts to live."
The old Taoist priest continued, "Before, they had no place to live, so the spirits of the strange beasts could only exist in your sea of consciousness. Now that they have a place to live, they will not cause trouble in your sea of consciousness."
Jiang Lan suddenly realized.
He was still confused before, with the same violent emotions filling his body, but his consciousness was suddenly preserved.
Before he possessed this inner elixir, whenever a ferocious beast appeared, his consciousness would be affected.
But now, although it still has an impact, it will not turn him into a monster who has completely lost his mind.
But there is not much difference. If the previous one was a crazy humanoid beast, then the current Jiang Lan is a sober humanoid beast.
At most, when it comes to the critical decision-making moment, he can still retain a little of his rationality.
"Thank you, old master, for clearing up my doubts."
“That’s nothing, but you have to be careful, Xiao Jianglan. The fact that you are not affected now does not mean that the influence of the strange beast on you has disappeared.
"On the contrary, all those emotions are accumulated in your inner elixir, but the carrying capacity of the inner elixir is not unlimited. Once it overflows, it may cause more serious consequences than before."
Jiang Lan nodded slightly.
Although what the old Taoist said was a bit difficult to understand, he still understood it.
Originally, whenever he had emotions, he would release them directly, but now, he has the inner elixir, which can store negative emotions.
But this thing also has a limit to its reserves. Once it's full, everything will explode.
"Then, old Heavenly Master, how should I judge the situation of the inner elixir?"
The old Taoist priest waved his hand.
"I am only a Taoist priest, not a deity, so how can I know? You have to figure it out on your own. Also, what I said before was just a guess based on experience, and it may not be absolutely correct. Just listen to it, don't take it too seriously."
"Don't dare."
Although the old Taoist priest said it was just a guess, Jiang Lan, as the person involved, could naturally feel that the old Taoist priest's guess was not 100% correct, but it was basically 80% correct.
After asking for advice, Jiang Lan did not leave, but suddenly asked:
"Old Heavenly Master, you asked me to come here not just to help the younger generation, right?"
