Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck

Chapter 99: Obtaining the Power of Luck!

Jia Courtyard.

At this moment, Tantai Ming stood at the entrance of Jia Courtyard Twenty-Three, dressed in white.

In other words, it was the entrance to the courtyard where Jiang Yuan lived.

Ignoring the discussions of the disciples passing by in the outer courtyard, she remained indifferent, as if a solitary orchid in a deep valley.

After a long while, she lifted her eyelids slightly and looked at Jiang Yuan, who was slowly approaching from a distance, her eyes showing a hint of strangeness.

A ripple also stirred in her heart. Whenever she saw Jiang Yuan's face, her heart would no longer be calm.

Sometimes, she would recall the things that happened between her and Jiang Zhenyuan back then.

She hoped that these emotions had completely left her, and that her heart was solely focused on the Dao and cultivation.

But now, she knew that she couldn't gradually sink into this quagmire, so she had to erase the thoughts in her heart.

Otherwise, in the future, this figure would inevitably become a tribulation on her path of cultivation.

She was not afraid of external tribulations, but the tribulations of the heart...

After a moment.

Jiang Yuan came before her and asked, "I wonder why Senior Sister Tantai is here?"

"Don't you invite me in for a sit?" she spoke slowly, her voice ethereal and pleasant.

With light steps, she approached Jiang Yuan, only a dozen feet away.

A faint scent of orchids and musk wafted towards Jiang Yuan.

Seeing her actions, Jiang Yuan somewhat understood why she was called Fairy Tantai by everyone.

Indeed, she knew how to act, her temperament ethereal and otherworldly. Coupled with her appearance, she truly had the air of a fairy descending to the mortal world.

But since the incident last time, Jiang Yuan had some enlightenment and realized that she had been too naive before.

Back then, she might have truly loved Jiang Zhenyuan, but time passed, and people's hearts changed.

She was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl back then, still innocent and ignorant.

Now, although she appeared to be in her twenties, her true age was enough to be a mother.

Twenty years had passed, and people's hearts had long since changed.

The story of a rich young lady and a poor boy could only happen in novels, not to mention the fact that they were as different as immortals and mortals.

And in the incident last time, she was forced to break through by external forces.

Looking at it now, the mastermind behind the scenes was most likely her, Tantai Ming.

Because in these past few days, he had also heard some gossip related to Tantai Ming.

Tantai Ming had an engagement with Wang Yu from Tianjian Mountain. At first, Jiang Yuan regarded it as a rumor.

But later, when she heard that Wang Yu possessed the Xuan Yang physique, Jiang Yuan knew that there was a ninety percent chance that this matter was true.

The Xuan Yin and Xuan Yang physiques were naturally a perfect match. If they became Dao companions, it would greatly benefit their cultivation.

All these events connected together, and the truth behind it all would naturally be revealed.

After all, he had just arrived at the Tai Xuan Sect at that time, and there were only a few people who had conflicts with him: Lin Hao, Jiang Tian, Jiang Yu, and Tantai Ming.

To be able to secretly kill his younger brother and frame himself for it, he must have wanted to take responsibility for his past actions. Even Jiang Yu, that inner disciple, couldn't do it.

Looking at Tantai Ming's calm and deep gaze, Jiang Yuan glanced around.

Jiang Yuan shook his head. "Sister Tantai, if you have something to say, let's talk here. Being alone in a room with a man can easily invite criticism."

"In your eyes, am I that kind of person?" Tantai Ming's eyes dimmed and her tone became somewhat melancholic.

"What kind of person I am in your eyes is not important, is it?"

"No!" Tantai Ming shook her head. "It is important! After all, you are his son, and you look so much like him! In you, I see the shadow of his youth!"

Jiang Yuan's eyes suddenly became sharp. "Tantai Ming, are you trying to cause trouble for me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around couldn't make sense of it.

"What's going on? The information seems to be highly significant. Could there really be something between them?" someone scratched their head.

Tantai Ming's gaze finally changed, and she stared at Jiang Yuan for a moment.

Then she slowly said, "Since you don't welcome me, I'll leave!"

After saying this, she drifted away.

Watching her gradually disappearing figure, Jiang Yuan's expression became serious, and a sense of crisis rose in his heart.

Tantai Ming is not to be trifled with!

She deliberately waited here for a long time, clearly wanting to attract everyone's attention.

Wanting to enter his courtyard in front of everyone, it was obviously meant to provoke speculation.

Being in the same room as the most prominent genius of the outer sect, Tantai Fairy, would spread throughout the entire outer sect in a day.

In the situation where she had an engagement with Wang Yu, this was equivalent to putting herself in a fire pit.

Wang Yu was the most famous genius of the younger generation in Tianjian Mountain, and such a person undoubtedly valued his reputation greatly.

Today, her actions made Jiang Yuan even more aware that this person may look like a fairy on the outside, but her heart is not that simple.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan understood that Tantai Ming cannot be allowed to stay.

But the most important thing at the moment is strength. Strength is the foundation of everything.

As for Tantai Ming, there is no need to worry too much for now.

The fact that she made such a move indicates that even if she wanted to make a move against him, she had no chance, otherwise there would be no need for all these twists and turns.

If his speculation is correct, her constraints come from the Tai Xuan Sect, or even the Goddess Peak.

When Jiang Zhenyuan and Tantai Ming had this kind of affair back then, they narrowly avoided a major mistake.

But Tantai Ming's master did not punish Jiang Zhenyuan, but instead left him a way out.

Following Tantai Ming's path indicates that her master did not truly despise Jiang Zhenyuan back then.

Otherwise, with her strength, she could have easily made Jiang Zhenyuan disappear from this world with a single thought.

On the other side, after Tantai Ming walked away, she turned back to look in Jiang Yuan's direction, her eyes showing some ripples.

Jiang Yuan is indeed alert.

But after seeing him again today, she has made up her mind not to keep him.

Because at this moment, scenes of the past with Jiang Zhenyuan suddenly appeared in her mind, causing waves in her determined heart.

She knows that if she continues like this, her mentality will inevitably change.

And Jiang Yuan's face constantly reminds her of the past with Jiang Zhenyuan.

Jia Yuan.

Just as Jiang Yuan sat down, he heard a knock on the door again.

"Brother Jiang, it's me, Liu Jie!"

Seeing Jiang Yuan nod, Shu Xiaoxiao hurried over to open the door.

The next moment.

Liu Jie and Liu Ruxi, with a face full of joy, appeared in front of Jiang Yuan.

"Liu Senior Brother is so happy, did you get the spirit stones?"

Liu Jie nodded, "Yes! I have two things to do here."

Jiang Yuan said, "No rush, Senior Brother Liu and Senior Sister Liu, please take a seat first!"

"Okay!" the two replied.

After sitting down.

Liu Jie took out a Qiankun bag and kept taking out pieces of medium-quality spirit stones from it.

After a while, a small pile formed.

Liu Jie said, "Brother Jiang, please take a look. Among them are eighty pieces of medium-quality spirit stones. I said before that we split it fifty-fifty. What do you think?"

Jiang Yuan shook his head, "This is too much! Senior Brother Liu, you were able to gain such a fortune mainly because of your own efforts."

Liu Jie looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "You can't refuse. Without you, I wouldn't have made this windfall. In reality, I can achieve this wealth mainly thanks to your contribution."

Liu Ruxi also said, "Junior Brother Jiang, and what about mine! I didn't dare to borrow money and gamble with my entire fortune like Senior Brother Liu, so I only invested one thousand pieces of low-quality spirit stones."

After speaking, she took out forty pieces of medium-quality spirit stones and placed them on the table.

"Fifty-fifty split, you contributed, this is fair, isn't it?"

Liu Jie added, "Brother Jiang, please accept it! We have another request later, if you don't accept it, how can we ask?"

Looking at their unquestionable gaze, Jiang Yuan slowly nodded.

"Alright!"

Then he reached out and all the 120 pieces of medium-quality spirit stones on the table were collected into his storage ring.

"Liu Senior Brother, since I have accepted it, you might as well tell me the other matter."

Liu Jie said, "This matter is a long story, so I'll make it short. I obtained an item while adventuring with Senior Sister Liu before. "

After speaking, he took out a black jade pendant.

"This item is the token to open a cave mansion, one black and one white, a total of two! The other piece is in the hands of a disciple of the Sunset Sect."

"By relying on the guidance of these two tokens, I found him, and he found me. So after contacting each other, we made a decision to open the cave mansion together on an auspicious day. The things obtained inside will be divided equally between the two parties."

"He was afraid that I would call for reinforcements, and I was also afraid that he would call for reinforcements, so we made an agreement. If we invite help, neither side can exceed three people, and their strength cannot exceed the fifth level of the Meridian Opening Realm."

"If the cultivation level is too high, once that person becomes interested in wealth, everyone's efforts will be in vain."

"I have thought it over and over, and only with Brother Jiang here do I feel completely confident that we won't be attacked by the other side."

"After all, one must always be on guard against others!"

Liu Jie explained slowly, word by word.

Jiang Yuan nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem, Brother Liu, when is the time you have set?"

Liu Jie replied, "It's not decided yet, we still need to discuss it!"

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Yuan said, "Since that's the case, why don't we wait for a couple of months? Let me break through to the fifth level of the Meridian Opening Realm first. With the abundant cultivation resources now, I can make a quick breakthrough!"

Liu Jie also nodded and said, "That's what I was thinking too. Unfortunately, I have just broken through to the fourth level of the Meridian Opening Realm, so it will take a lot of time for me to make a breakthrough. Sister Liu, on the other hand, is not far from breaking through! She can make a breakthrough in just one month!"

"Good!" That's settled then. "It could be as short as ten days or as long as one and a half months, but I will definitely make a breakthrough."

Just as the two were about to get up, Jiang Yuan suddenly said, "Wait, Brother Liu!"

"What's wrong?"

"Do you trust me?"

"I do! How could I not trust you? If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have come to find you!" Liu Jie said with a smile.

[Name]: Liu Jie

[Cultivation Level]: Fourth level of the Meridian Opening Realm

[Innate Luck]: Blood Fiend Body (blue), Proficient in Swordsmanship (green), Battle Genius (green), Heightened Senses (white)

[Blood Fiend Body]: Special physique, cultivating blood and fiendish techniques, Divine Abilities are greatly enhanced with divine assistance.

Jiang Yuan looked at Liu Jie's panel and said, "In that case, if Brother Liu truly trusts me, then remember to switch to cultivating blood fiendish techniques, especially the visualization technique. If you have the choice, make sure to choose a visualization technique that belongs to the blood fiendish category. But under no circumstances should you visualize any external demons that can corrupt one's mind."

Liu Jie was suddenly taken aback. Blood fiendish techniques were rarely practiced by anyone.

Such techniques were often associated with unorthodox and evil practices.

But looking at Jiang Yuan's serious gaze, it didn't seem like he was joking at all.

He also knew Jiang Yuan's character and knew that he would never joke about something like this.

He also thought about his previous battle with Zhou Tuo, where he accurately found the weak points in Zhou Tuo's spiritual power circulation with every strike.

This seemed to indicate that Jiang Yuan's eyes had some special ability to see through the Shattering Void.

Thinking of all this, Liu Jie nodded, "Brother Jiang, I will keep your words in mind. After I go back, I will switch to cultivating a blood fiendish technique and give it a try."

Jiang Yuan instantly received a prompt in front of his eyes.

[Due to your influence, Liu Jie has successfully tapped into his potential, and his future destiny has undergone some changes. You have gained 63 strands of Luck power.]

Seeing this prompt, Jiang Yuan understood.

It was inevitable for Liu Jie to switch to cultivating a new technique.

He had also somewhat repaid Liu Jie's favor. When he first entered the Tai Xuan Sect, he had a conflict with Jiang Tian. If it weren't for Liu Jie's help, Jiang Yuan would have been powerless to resist Jiang Tian's arrival, and it would have been normal for him to lose face or even get injured.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan silently kept this matter in his heart.

Then he saw Liu Jie and Liu Ruxi off as they walked out of the courtyard.
