Chapter 481: Chapter 162: Three Saints Heart Refining Pill, Six Desires Pearl, the Gift for Her

In addition, the three Guardian Families and the other original resident families would also dispatch people to patrol the various border areas.

Recently, the three Guardian Families had even dispatched their younger generation to form patrol teams that went back and forth on watch, and streaks of light could be seen flashing across the sky.

Not long after the Fourth Prince left, Jiang Lan began to consider how he might pay a visit to the three Guardian Families.

Each Guardian Family had produced a Saint in their lineage, earning them the title of a Saintly Noble Family. Their foundations were incomparably ancient and profound, far beyond what the Four Great Royal Families could hope to match.

Therefore, priding themselves on their status, they would never send someone to visit a junior like him. An exception would only be made if his father came in person.

‘Perhaps I can make use of Jiang Ruxian. With her current strength, even if she isn’t a Saint, she should be invincible below the Saint realm, right?’

He examined a Jade Scroll in his hand, which contained information on the current situation of the major Noble Families on Immortal Ascension Island.

The Changlong Business Alliance naturally had a branch on Immortal Ascension Island. For Jiang Lan, obtaining this information was a simple matter of asking.

As Jiang Lan was pondering, someone came to announce that a young master from the Tantai Family named Tantai Ming had arrived for a visit.

“Let him in.” After a moment’s thought, Jiang Lan already knew the man’s identity and the purpose of his visit.

Tantai Ming was Tantai Qing’s brother, born of the same mother and just a few years her junior. He currently controlled several key industries for the Tantai Family’s business alliance and was held in high regard.

However, these key industries were all related to mining and required transport to the mainland to be sold for profit. The outposts of the Artifact Refining Sects on Immortal Ascension Island alone could not process such a vast quantity of raw materials.

‘This man has probably come to discuss this matter with me, hoping to secure a larger cut of the profits.’

After some thought, Jiang Lan summoned Xiang Xiao, a princess of the Sea God Race. She was quite skilled in such matters; she was the one managing the Sea God Race’s many business alliances from behind the scenes.

“Greetings, Young Master.”

Xiang Xiao wore a sea-blue gown, her magnificent bearing radiating grace and elegance.

Jiang Lan briefly explained the situation, and the astute Xiang Xiao understood his intentions instantly.

Soon, Tantai Ming was led in by several servants. The attendants behind him carried three silver plates, each holding a small wooden box covered with red cloth, clearly indicating they held something valuable.

With a graceful demeanor, he first paid his respects to Jiang Lan, conveying his sister Tantai Qing’s goodwill. Then, under the pretext of presenting a welcoming gift, he got straight to the point and stated the reason for his visit.

Jiang Lan looked on with interest, claiming he was not skilled in business and having Xiang Xiao discuss the matters of the business alliance with him instead.

The three silver plates held three different Spiritual Objects. One of them was an Ice Chilong Gallbladder from the deep sea. It was far beyond the Demon King level, even possessing an aura comparable to that of an Eighth Realm Tribulation Bridge Realm cultivator who had passed a Celestial Tribulation.

Jiang Lan glanced at it and, realizing the item was indeed rare and would be of great benefit to Li Mengning and her Ice Element Technique, had You’Er accept it.

The other two items were a set of shimmering Soft Armor and a scimitar that emanated a cold, ghostly light. Both were Dao Artifacts that had manifested six Dao Marks, and he bestowed them upon You’Er, as she was in need of items for protection and offense.

Before Tantai Ming left, Jiang Lan had You’Er give him a gift he had already prepared. It was a return gift, intended for his sister.

He knew that once Tantai Qing saw it, she would come looking for him of her own accord.

After all, her Cultivation Technique had a great need for this Six Desires Pearl—a fact that was her secret.

Although Tantai Ming was confused and curious, he didn’t ask any questions. He accepted the gift with a word of thanks, planning to deliver it to his sister later.
