Chapter 83

Not long after, a sound transmission talisman flew into another pavilion nearby. Soon, an old woman who looked like she was on her deathbed walked to the balcony and gazed at Xie Ruolan, saying in a deep voice, "Sister Xie, I was planning to tell you this anyway. Since you’ve brought it up, here is the array disk that controls this place. Take it; you can come and go as you please. Of course, if you want to leave the sect, you still need to get Master’s permission!"

As Fang Jing spoke, she directly threw the array disk to Xie Ruolan.

After receiving it, Xie Ruolan was about to thank her politely, but at that moment, Fang Jing seemed to have received a summons from her master and immediately headed toward the tall tower.

Since she could now come and go freely, Xie Ruolan didn’t hesitate and set off immediately.

Luo Wanying’s residence was essentially a huge array. When she first arrived, Xie Ruolan had already received a safe route map from Fang Jing. Now, with the array disk, she could really move around freely.

Leaving the small lake, she used the array disk to reopen the path through the forest to the teleportation array. After installing a spirit stone in the teleportation array, Xie Ruolan disappeared from the same teleportation array she had arrived at.

From a distance, Fang Jing, who had just given Xie Ruolan the array disk, looked at the place where Xie Ruolan had disappeared with eyes that were murky but full of an unfathomable expression. After a long while, she收回目光，来到高塔内的一间雅致的厢房内。

厢房内，她的师傅罗婉莹和刚到的有着天魔女之称的陶梦蓉正对坐畅谈。

罗婉莹注意到方静走来，直接问道：“她走了？”

“是，师尊！”方静答道。

“呵呵，刚才我来到这里的那个小丫头，就是你选中的人吧？”这时，陶梦蓉看似清纯无暇的脸上，浮现出一丝耐人寻味的笑容，问了一句。

“妹妹你是知道我的秘密，所以做姐姐的也就不瞒着你，的确就是她，不知道妹妹觉得如何啊？”罗婉莹笑着问道。

“资质好像一般了一点，至少没有我想象中的那么好！”陶梦蓉淡淡道。

“修炼《寒阴魔火》她这种资质算是不错的了，虽然的确有更好的存在，但我也已经等不起了，否则大道就真的没有希望了！”罗婉莹缓缓道。

“你还要多久准备！”陶梦蓉沉思了片刻后问道。

“等她修炼成《寒阴魔火》第一层，有了基础之后，我就准备夺舍她的身体！”罗婉莹直接道。

“这么说来，也就顶多三五年的时间了！”

“不错，否则我也不会叫妹妹你来了，而且你的事情我也已经跟那个负心汉说了，他当年负了我，内心总是有些愧疚的，他已经答应，你们天魔门在血炼宗保留的那块地盘，可以再延续百年！”罗婉莹说道。

听到这些，陶梦蓉一直沉着的玉容忽然闪过了一丝阴霾，冷冷道：“这天魔渊本来就是我天魔门的，明明是血炼宗鸠占鹊巢，如今我们却没有了立足之地。”

面对陶梦蓉忽然的冷言冷语，罗婉莹却和颜悦色道：“妹妹，话可不能这么说，或许以前的确是血炼宗鸠占鹊巢，但血炼宗在这里已经经营上万年，出云大陆各大派已经只知道血炼宗，不知道天魔门，再说，强者生，弱者亡也是合乎天理的，其实以妹妹的天赋和容姿，要是舍弃天魔门这个虚名，发誓归顺血炼宗，我相信那些老家伙肯定会大喜过望，不用你再开口求什么，就直接护着你进入七层的魔潭之中。”

“好了，罗姐姐，这事就不用再提了，我们还是按照之前说好的办，镇魂莲子，到时候让你神魂在夺舍之后至少三个甲子不散，你若是三个甲子内重修进入元婴，那么就助我进入魔潭！”陶梦蓉说道。

“好，我们还是按照说好的来，不过这镇魂莲子不知道妹妹什么时候可以给我，要知道夺舍之后再用，那时我法力不济，恐怕不行啊！”罗婉莹沉声道。

“你要动手之前再来通知我，到时我一定送上！这是魔魂契约，我想有这个约束，足够了吧！”陶梦蓉直接拿出一张古朴的契约道。

“好！”罗婉莹见到之后，两眼也是一亮，一口答应了下来。

魔魂契约也有三六九等，陶梦蓉手中的，自然约束力不小，两人签订之后，自然关系反而更加稳固了一些。

罗婉莹老脸上也更多了一些笑容道：“妹妹今天主动来我这里，除了签订这契约，应该还有其它事情吧？”

“这个当然，当初与血炼宗说好，每十年都会给我一些弟子的，可这次都给的什么人？就算做一点表面功夫，也至少给一两个能放得上台面的才行吧！”陶梦蓉有些气愤道。

“原来是这事，妹妹啊！之前那负心汉没开口，谁都以为你要离开宗门，另立门户了，自然不会对你有好脸色了，甚至让你离开也是因为宗门祖师当年立下的誓言，那些老家伙怕影响自己心境不好意思破了，现在你又要多留百年，我想下回应该会给你一两个可以调教一下的弟子！”罗婉莹道。

“那这事也要姐姐你多费心了！”陶梦蓉依旧不悦道。

“这都是小事，若是将来我成就元婴，妹妹你这边我一定会照顾你的！”罗婉莹一口保证道。

陶梦蓉听了，心中却只有冷笑，自己如今抓着她短处，这才事事给自己方便，否则绝对是另外一番面孔。

当然此刻陶梦蓉绝对不会拆穿，反而笑着道：“那就多谢姐姐了，不过弟子的事情，还希望姐姐再帮忙一下，至少给我一两个能看得上眼的人，妹妹特意大老远的跑一趟，姐姐总不好真的一点面子也不给吧？”

“好吧，这事我就答应你了，我帮你物色一两个出色的弟子，这总成了吧！”罗婉莹瞧陶梦蓉得不到不罢休，索性答应她了，反正这事情的确不算什么大事。

“方静，这事情你听到了，记住给妹妹办了！”罗婉莹随口吩咐起来。

“是，师尊，只是弟子跟随师尊时间久了，也不知道挑选什么人好，要不让谢师妹负责此事，可否？”方静想了想提出了自己的疑问。

“这倒也是，你都快百年没上过上面几层了，就让若兰去办吧！”罗婉莹考虑到实际情况，也一口答应了下来。

Inside the room, her master Luo Wanying and Tao Mengrong, known as the Heavenly Demoness, were sitting and chatting.

Luo Wanying noticed Fang Jing’s arrival and asked directly, "She’s gone?"

"Yes, Master!" Fang Jing replied.

"Ha ha, the little girl who just came here, is she the one you chose?" Tao Mengrong’s seemingly innocent face showed a hint of a meaningful smile as she asked.

"Little sister, you know my secret, so I won’t hide it from you. Yes, it’s her. What do you think of her?" Luo Wanying asked with a smile.

"Her talent seems a bit average, at least not as good as I imagined!" Tao Mengrong said lightly.

"Her talent is quite good for cultivating the 'Cold Yin Demon Fire.' Although there are indeed better candidates, I can’t wait any longer, or I’ll have no hope of achieving the Great Dao!" Luo Wanying said slowly.

"How much longer do you need to prepare?" Tao Mengrong asked after a moment of thought.

"Once she has cultivated the first level of the 'Cold Yin Demon Fire' and has a solid foundation, I will prepare to take over her body!" Luo Wanying said directly.

"So, it will be at most three to five years!"

"Exactly, otherwise I wouldn’t have called you here. I’ve already spoken to the man who betrayed me. He feels guilty for what he did to me, and he has agreed to let your Heavenly Demon Sect retain its territory in the Blood Refinement Sect for another hundred years!" Luo Wanying said.

Hearing this, a shadow of gloom flashed across Tao Mengrong’s usually calm face, and she said coldly, "The Heavenly Demon Abyss originally belonged to our Heavenly Demon Sect. It was the Blood Refinement Sect that took it over. Now, we have no place to stand."

Faced with Tao Mengrong’s sudden cold words, Luo Wanying remained calm and said, "Little sister, you can’t say that. Perhaps in the past, the Blood Refinement Sect did take over, but they have been here for ten thousand years. The major sects of the Outcloud Continent only know of the Blood Refinement Sect, not the Heavenly Demon Sect. Besides, the strong survive, and the weak perish, which is the way of the world. Actually, with your talent and beauty, if you were to abandon the name of the Heavenly Demon Sect and swear allegiance to the Blood Refinement Sect, I believe those old men would be overjoyed. They would protect you and take you to the seventh level of the Demon Pool without you even asking."

"Enough, Sister Luo, let’s not talk about this anymore. We’ll proceed as we agreed. The Soul-Stabilizing Lotus Seed will ensure that your soul remains intact for at least three jiazi (sixty years) after the body takeover. If you can achieve the Nascent Soul stage within three jiazi, then you will help me enter the Demon Pool!" Tao Mengrong said.

"Agreed. But when can I get the Soul-Stabilizing Lotus Seed? I need to use it right after the body takeover, or my power will be too weak to make it work!" Luo Wanying said solemnly.

"Notify me before you act, and I will definitely deliver it! Here is the Demon Soul Contract. I believe this will be enough to bind us," Tao Mengrong said, taking out an ancient contract.

"Agreed!" Luo Wanying’s eyes lit up, and she immediately agreed.

The Demon Soul Contract had different levels, and the one Tao Mengrong held had significant binding power. After they signed it, their relationship became even more solid.

Luo Wanying’s old face showed more smiles as she said, "Little sister, you came to me today not just to sign this contract, right? Is there something else?"

"Of course. It was agreed that the Blood Refinement Sect would give me some disciples every ten years. But this time, who did they give me? Even if it’s just for show, they should at least give me one or two who can stand up to scrutiny!" Tao Mengrong said angrily.

"Ah, I see. Little sister, the man who betrayed me didn’t speak up, so everyone thought you were leaving the sect to start your own. Naturally, they wouldn’t treat you well. Even letting you leave was because of the oath made by the sect’s ancestors, which the old men didn’t want to break. Now that you’re staying for another hundred years, I believe they will give you one or two disciples to train next time," Luo Wanying said.

"That’s something I’ll need your help with, Sister!" Tao Mengrong said, still displeased.

"That’s a small matter. If I achieve the Nascent Soul stage in the future, I will definitely take care of you!" Luo Wanying promised.

Tao Mengrong listened, but she only sneered inwardly. She was now using Luo Wanying’s weakness to get what she wanted. Otherwise, it would be a different story.

Of course, Tao Mengrong wouldn’t expose this now. Instead, she smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister. But regarding the disciples, I hope you can help me again. At least give me one or two who are worth looking at. I came all this way, and you can’t refuse me completely, right?"

"Alright, I’ll do it. I’ll find one or two outstanding disciples for you. Is that enough?" Luo Wanying, seeing Tao Mengrong’s determination, agreed.

"Fang Jing, you heard that. Remember to take care of it for Little Sister!" Luo Wanying instructed casually.

"Yes, Master. But I’ve been with you for so long, I don’t know who to choose. Perhaps we should let Sister Xie handle it, what do you think?" Fang Jing asked after some thought.

"That’s a good point. You haven’t been to the upper levels for almost a hundred years. Let Ruolan handle it," Luo Wanying agreed, considering the situation.
