Chapter 1921: Immortals and Flashing Gold
"There's a little bit of bamboo rice mixed in here." He Lingchuan personally handed him a tube, "This is rare, try it quickly."
The other bowl of shiny red dish is braised fat bamboo rat with osmanthus. The bamboo rat is braised together with their favorite bamboo shoots. Lingguang also contributed osmanthus honey that he brewed himself. The osmanthus was picked from the wild osmanthus plants nearby.
Fang Canran picked up a piece of meat, which was soft and still covered with skin. He shook it and it bounced loudly.
The soup is even simpler, it's stream fish stewed with tofu, it's thick, white and fragrant, a few sips in the autumn will warm your whole body.
"In the Golden Plains, this is already a delicacy. What's there to dislike?" Fang Canran sighed. "I followed your Chamber of Commerce from Julu Port to the central part of the country this time. I saw starving people everywhere. It was shocking. Five or six-year-old children were as thin as skeletons covered with skin, and their heads were wider than their shoulders. They would fight until their heads were broken and bloody for a piece of leftover meat and bones."
"At least they are alive and you can see them. You can't even see those that were thrown away, eaten, or died at birth." He Lingchuan ate bamboo rice and calmly talked about the horrifying current situation. "This is because Yang Shan has been doing business in the Gold Plains for a few years and has opened up countless checkpoints. The vitality of the central and western parts of the Gold Plains is now stronger than before. A year and a half ago, it was almost impossible for you to cross the entire Gold Plains peacefully."
"I know." Fang Canran nodded. "Many years ago, I went to Xiaoyao Sect on business and landed at Julu Port."
He still remembers what Julu Port looked like before Yang Shan moved in.
Poverty, despair, chaos and numbness are the bitter fruits borne by this land.
All the bitter fruits eventually gave birth to the flower of evil. "Brother He brought the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce to the Golden Plains, which is a great merit."
He Lingchuan noticed that he was talking about the "Yangshan Chamber of Commerce" instead of what He Lingchuan was doing now.
"The Shining Gold Plain is rich in resources, including minerals, fine horses, medicinal herbs, and various natural treasures. It would take days and nights to talk about them all. Take Duo City as an example. The copper ore produced by the mines on the outskirts of the city has a copper content more than eight times that of Yuan Country. It is large in scale and shallow in burial." He Lingchuan stepped on the ground. "Refining the copper ore here repeatedly, after refining it four or five times, the copper content of the remaining slag is about the same as that of Yuan Country."
When he was a second-generation official in Heishui City, he knew that there were mines on the outskirts of the city. The copper reserves were not large and the quality was poor, but it was enough to make He Chunhua pay attention to it, and he had to report the mining situation of the mining area every year.
"The people of Shine Gold live such a life, holding a golden bowl but not getting food." He Lingchuan asked Fang Canran, "Brother Fang, do you know the reason?"
"Separatism, chaos, and disorder?"
"You're right. These are all endogenous disasters of the Shining Gold Plain." He Lingchuan drank a mouthful of soup. "Basically, the gods are suppressing the chaos here to extract the nightmare energy, and the immortals--"
He looked at Fang Canran and said slowly: "The immortals have set up a spirit gathering formation here, sucking out the spiritual energy fiercely."
Fang Canran was moved: "Spirit Gathering Formation?"
Remembering the task he assigned to He Lingchuan, he easily thought: "Are you referring to Master Qianhuan?"
"The inverted Tiangang formation of Qianhuan Zhenren is extremely effective. It has been absorbing spiritual energy in the Flashing Gold Plain for more than 150 years. Otherwise, a True Immortal like him, with 15 immortals under his command and the entire sect, consumes a huge amount of spiritual energy. How can their reserves from ancient times be enough?"
Fang Canran secretly said, "So that's how it is." Since the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has declined, immortals have been in seclusion, some sitting in meditation until death, while others live a very comfortable life. Although he has maintained a connection with Lingshan, he has never thought about it in detail. He just thinks that the true immortals have means to reach the sky, and perhaps the prehistoric reserves are extremely rich.
Now after listening to He Lingchuan's words, I realized that saving money is far from enough. The immortals must increase their spiritual energy in order to be fearless.
He Lingchuan laughed sarcastically: "The so-called gods and immortals are working so hard, treating the Shining Gold Plain as their own base, taking whatever they want. Do you think there is any way out for the ordinary people in Shining Gold?"
Fang Canran was silent for a while, suppressing many questions in his mind, and first mentioned the mission of this time: "Brother He, I have a question to ask on behalf of Lingshan. Has Master Qianhuan left the Upside-Down Sea? What is his current situation?"
The legend of the Dragon God killing Miao Zhantian has long been circulated in the Shining Gold Plain, but Lingshan was anxious to find out about Qian Huan's situation. Fang Canran couldn't find out in Julu Port, so he followed the caravan to Duocheng to find the first witness.
Apart from He Lingchuan, how many people in the Golden Plains know the truth?
"No." He Lingchuan gave the clearest answer, "He passed away."
Fang Canran's eyes widened, and he remained silent for a long time.
The opening period of the Upside-Down Sea ended, and there was still no news of the True Man Qianhuan, but He Lingchuan, who was sent to find him, was active in the Shining Gold Plain. Fang Canran knew that there was trouble.
But the boy in front of me said that the great immortal had fallen?
During his instability, He Lingchuan ate vegetables, meat and drank soup, enjoying himself very much.
Two osmanthus flowers fell from the old tree and landed right in the soup bowl. He Lingchuan tapped the edge of the bowl with his chopsticks and said, "Brother Fang, if you don't eat or drink, there will be nothing left."
Today's soup is really delicious.
"By the way, we added a few big clams to the soup, but they took up too much space, so we threw away the shells and meat." He gestured to Fang Canran, "The clam shells are bigger than the plates, so they are very delicious when stewed!"
"What's going on?" Fang Canran finally found his voice.
That’s Master Qianhuan!
The previous ruler of Lingshan, one of the six great immortals of Lingshan!
"Miao Zhantian led a dozen demons and the Heavenly Palace team and also rushed into the Upside-Down Sea."
"!!"
Seeing Fang Canran's shocked expression, He Lingchuan spat out a bone: "Didn't Lingshan tell you?"
Fang Canran said nothing. Of course not.
Lingshan only obtained information from him and rarely told him about mountain affairs and new intelligence.
"How do you know that Lingshan has already..." He said "oh" halfway through his words and understood.
Now He Lingchuan’s channel for obtaining information from Lingshan is no longer limited to Fang Canran.
This man's power and influence are increasing every day.
"I also know that you have mastered many inside stories and intelligence about the Yangshan Islands, but you have not told Lingshan." He Lingchuan smiled, "Thank you, Brother Fang."
Fang Canran laughed at himself.
He was originally sent by Lingshan to supervise He Lingchuan, but over the past few years, he kept many of the intelligence he had obtained secret and did not report it. It was no wonder that Lingshan was dissatisfied with him, as he had taken the wrong path.
He Xiao is sincere, strong, charismatic, and good at controlling the situation. It is hard not to be led astray by this person if you have a long-term relationship with him.
"Let's get back to the point! Miao Zhantian is too powerful. He even invaded the consciousness of Qian Huan Zhenren, intending to kill Qian Huan Zhenren's soul and seize the body of the mirage immortal."
