I Have Infinite Systems In The Immortal World

64  Setting the Things in Motion

When An Lu'an took a sip of the wine, she was surprised. " What a strange flavor. One moment, I feel hot while the other moment, I feel numbing cold. However, the taste is simply…I guess this is one of the best wines I ever had."

" Miss An, May I ask you a private question?"

" Hm?"

" Why did you marry Lan Xiao?" Long Ming asked. " It's not like you love him or something. And I can feel that you are simply unsatisfied with him."

Long Ming wasn't speaking BS. He gathered all sorts of intel about An Lu'an from the past few days. Along with influencing her with his speech for the past few days, he also tried to drive a wedge in her mind.

His Desolate Immortal Aura and his drop of blood filled with Incubus's Bloodline and Fragrant Yin Qi were also doing their utmost to control An Lu'an.

" Well, You are saying like political marriages aren't common at all."

Long Ming chuckled as he shook his head. " It is not like that. The thing is, how did a lady like you trapped in it? You are beautiful, smart and you can control a force on your own."

Suddenly, Long Ming felt the aura around An Lu'an dropped as she lowered her head. " Haah, When you are so talented that you are a candidate to be the next patriarch but then, your family is a conservative and your brother is a real opportunistic asshole, what do you think will happen?"

Long Ming gave a hollow laugh when he heard that, "  I guess I don't need elaboration any longer. However, I still hope you consider my proposal. In this way, you can easily crush the Lan Family, control it, and escape from Lan Xiao without facing any consequences."

An Lu'an didn't say anything but she sighed lightly. Long Ming turned around and laughed lightly.

" I shall be waiting for you, Miss An. I would really like to make a portrait of you…the true you."

" And, I hope you like that gift."

An Lu'an became stunned when she saw there was a necklace on the table. The gems on it sparkled with a dreamy pink attracting her toward it.

' What a strange person.'

She chuckled and wore the necklace.

" Drawing my portrait, huh…"

An Lu'an nibbled her lips in a seductive way as she rubbed the necklace on her neck.

.

" That's quite a fast call, Patriarch. I didn't think we gonna meet so soon again."

Lan Xiao's expression twitched when he saw Ming Yuexin drinking tea before him.

" So, Niece Ming, About the Coral Island…"

Ming Yuexin's eyes narrowed. " I guess you are afraid we are trying to mine there.  But in fact, we found what we are looking for."

" Oho, Is that so?"

" A relic from our ancestors. Thankfully, We managed to retrieve it before anyone else."

Lan Xiao's expression twitched when he heard Ming Yuexin. ' Fuck, We allowed a treasure to escape under our nose. But…It looks like, she didn't know about the Azure Mirthil mine.'

" Well, Since that's the case, How about you give that island to us? We will pay the proper price for it."

Ming Yuexin's eyes narrowed. " Patriarch Lan, I think you are misunderstanding something. I guess you forgot the new contract."

Lan Xiao's face turned ugly when Ming Yuexin spoke that. " You mean, We need to give up the Golden Sand Island and Ocean Cave Island?"

Those two islands produce ores more than the remaining three islands all together. Losing them would be equivalent to giving a hard blow on Lan Family's finance.

" Niece Ming, Since you already got the treasure, I don't think that island is any worth of your use."

" You are asking to give up on our ancestor's sacred place? That's impossible." MingYuexin refused. " Beside, There is a small spirit spring inside it. I guess it worth something. We might even build a shrine."

" Yes, I can understand that. But, Niece Ming, I suddenly remembered that the Coral Island was good to make a small port. So, I wonder if you can sell it back to us." Lan Xiao tried to persuade her. " We will give you 400 Million Mid grade Spirit Stones."

Ming Yuexin sipped the tea as she shook her head. " Impossible, The Coral Island is a sacred place for us. To sell you like this… It's upto the decision of elders."

" Uh, But still…"

" However, If you give us the ownership of all Deep Sea Iron Mines and Ocenide Steel for one week, We might consider it."

" What? Ownership of all mines for one week?" Lan Xiao was shocked. " That's…"

" What? Cat got your tongue? To get our ancestor's resting place, you can't even give us some momentary profits? How naive." Ming Yuexin got up as she turned to leave.

" Losing the profit for seven days for gaining our sacred island permanently, I don't think that's a bad deal." She murmured. But she was audible enough to make Lan Xiao hear that.

As they were talking, a servant rushed and whispered something to Lan Xiao. Lan Xiao looked at the servant as he asked for confirmation. " Alright, I will do it."

Suddenly, Ming Yuexin turned around and took out a photographic jade. " Fine, Then make a Heart Oath."

" Heart Oath? Wouldn't that be…"

" Do I need to repeat myself?"

" Fine."

Lan Xiao took the paper from Ming Yuexin and read the content. Heart Oath was something much more powerful than blood contract.  If the cultivator goes against it, they will face a heart demon that will consume them, resulting in them being cripple or dead.

' Fuck, There is no loophole at all.' Lan Xiao cursed as she spoke. " I, Lan Xiao, Th Patriarch of the Lan Family makes a vow with my dao heart that I will give complete control of our five exclusive mining island to Four Seasons Valley for Seven Days. In the meantime, I will not sabotage their mining process in any direct or indirect method. If I break this oath, I will face the heart tribulation."

A light blinked on the chest of Lan Xiao as it vanished. Ming Yuexin recorded everything as she nodded. " Very well, You are the master of the Coral Island now."

After Ming Yuexin left, Lan Xiao became agitated. " Are you sure what you saw?"

" Yes, My lord. I personally went to the coral island and saw the large dumps of ore sands. I also took or metallurgist with me and he said there was indeed Azure Mirthil in those heaps of ore sand."

" Calculating the amount, we might get one kg of Azure Mirthil from those mined sands alone. I wonder how much of Azure Mirthil is inside the vein?"

" Gather everyone! Send the biggest force to Coral Island to guard it. Also, Hasten the mining process!"

" As you say, Patriarch."

Chen Geyi was the leader of the Three Feather Group. Recently, they have been suppressed by the Lan Family and Huo Family However, when they heard a Core Disciple of Four Seasons Valley to meet him, he agreed immediately.

" I will keep the matter short. Four Seasons Valley is going to make a move and raze down the Lan Family." Long Ming spoke.

Chen Geyi narrowed his eyes as he looked at Long Ming. " Really? I thought Four Seasons Valley long lost its fangs. Besides, if they wanted to make a move, why did they wait till now?"

" Because We just found the oath tablet of the Lan Family along with some countermeasures." Long Ming gave a bright smile. " Don't you think Four Season Valley will just show its strength and weakness in open?"

" So, Since Four Seasons Valley will soon take over the Black Pearl City, What will you do? Will you wish to have the same fate as Lan Family or…You wish to have a piece of pie?"

Chen Geyi's eyes narrowed as he looked at Long Ming. Two people came closer as they looked at Long Ming with killing intent. However, Long Ming sat there with a smile on his face.

' This person is…Dangerous.' The first thought came into Chen Geyi's mind Not only he couldn't assess the cultivation realm of Long Ming, but he could also even feel a faint pressure from his aura. It was like a man sitting before him connected with heaven and earth.

' Harmonization Realm? Nine Revolution of Soul Realm? At such a young age? Impossible! But still… .

.

Such an opportunity, can I take it?'

Chen Geyi breathed out a mouthful of turbid air as he waved his hands. The two guards dispersed. " What do you want?"

" What will happen if the main force of the Lan Family is trapped in a place and a group of powerful pirates come and kill them?"

Chen Geyi became stunned as a strange grin appeared on his face.

" Go ahead, I am listening."

Long Ming grinned as he walked out. He looked at the letter in his hand that gave detailed information about the movement of the Lan Family's force in Coral Island.

At the bottom, there was also a lipstick mark with fine sets of words.

' I shall be waiting for you to make my portrait.'

Long Ming clutched the letter as his grin turned devilish. " Keke The stage has been set. Let the show begin."

Long Ming gave a devious laugh as he blurred from his position.

Meanwhile, The Lan Family Mobilized their entire force as they went to Coral Island.

" Sir, I think mine looks different. It's like they made the tunnels even deeper."

" Who cares! Just get the Azure Mirthil first!" An elder of Lan family shouted as they entered the mine. The deeper they walked, the more signs of mining they could see.

" Huh? Look! They piled the ores there!"

" Check is there is Azure Mirthil or not!"

" Indeed! This is Azure Mirthil!"

" Everyone! Get to work! We need to mine from right now!"

Currently, Other than miners, Ten Golden Core, Five Primordial Spirit Realm, and Two Harmonization Realm cultivators are deep in the mine.

" Huh? What are these black boxes?"

One of them noticed something as he walked toward it.

But suddenly, it exploded like a fire cracker.

In the next moment, with a loud boom, Water from Westward Bay crashed inside the mine as the entrance collapsed.
