Heavenly Dao Formula

Such a formal meeting obviously cannot be discussed in the square, Xia Fan led everyone into the lobby of the headquarters, and made a honey matcha shaved ice with Qianzhi on the spot.

"Well, not bad." Qian Yan calmly tasted it and nodded in appreciation, "The ingenious fusion of several flavors will not obscure each other's characteristics, even if it is a tribute, it is qualified."

This is the big guy who has lived for hundreds of years? Xia Fan thought to himself, compared to Qian Zhi who wanted to add another bowl after eating, he really had a different demeanor.

"My name is Qianyan." She put down the bowl and spoon, got up and bowed, "I'm from the Fang family in Lingzhou, and I'm a living dead. Fang Xiandao should have introduced me before."

He also replied briefly, "The Prime Minister of the Jinxia Privy Council, Xia Fan."

"Well. As far as the alchemist itself is concerned, you haven't lost your foundation." Qian Yan looked him up and down a few times, "As far as the level of this era is concerned, it is worthy of praise."

"What do you mean?" Xia Fan asked curiously.

"She means that you are full of breath and have been trained for a long time." Fang Xiandao added in a low voice.

"It's not just that simple. At Mr. Xia's age, if he wants to have such a level of sense of qi, he probably spends time practicing every day from the beginning of the sense of qi, without interruption for more than ten years." Qian Yan said slowly, "This at least shows one point, Xia Mr. is a very self-disciplined person, even though he is in a high position now, he is not immediately intoxicated by power and women."

Xia Fan couldn't help but blush.

I don't know if playing with Li's tail is considered obsession.

And he found that after he cultivated to a certain level, it basically became an instinct, similar to breathing. So the form is not important, whether it is being trained by Li Te or enjoying the knee pillow, the inclusion of Qi will not be delayed.

But on the surface he won't reveal any flaws, "Isn't every alchemist like this?"

"How is it possible? Alchemists are also human beings, and they will have the same desires as humans." Qian Yan said without hesitation, "During the time when the Yongguo still existed, people who sensed energy were always thinking about improving their own strength to deal with possible problems. An outbreak of crisis. But now, wars and evil disasters are gone, and alchemists don't have such a strong sense of urgency to improve themselves. Could it be that you haven't noticed that your ability to cast spells is far superior to that of your peers ?"

Xia Fan noticed the word "crisis" in her words, "You mean...Yongguo was also facing a major crisis?"

"Of course. Or the crisis has never been resolved."

"Can you tell me in detail?"

"Information is not something you can get in exchange for a bowl of iced food. And knowing too much about it will not do you any good except increase your worries." Qian Yan crossed his arms, "Come back to the topic, Mr. Xia, why are you So obsessed with the living dead of the Fang family? I thought you were out of a bad habit, but now it doesn't seem to be the case. Let me make it clear, not all the living dead are as talkative as Qianzhi .”

The little girl on the side nodded sharply.

"I've seen the living dead who are different from Qianzhi." Xia Fan said in the most sincere tone, "In fact, I have a plan that requires a lot of ice. This job is suitable for the living dead, so I just I mentioned it to Fang Xiandao. Of course, what I want is not a living dead. The more the number, the better. In addition, this is not unpaid work. The Bureau will pay them salaries, as well as corresponding holidays and welfare subsidies. "

Qianyan blinked, but said nothing.

Xia Fan also fell silent, waiting for the other party's response.

The two stared at each other for a long time before Qian Yan felt that something was wrong, "...and then?"

"What then? That's why."

"You just want artificial ice?"

"Can't it? Anyway, it's not bad for the living dead to use more natural spells, right?"

"Of course there is no harm, but this is not the point—" Qian Yan felt a little confused for a moment, "The reason why you are obsessed with the living dead is because we can easily generate ice? What can be done with saltpeter—"

"I need a huge amount of ice cubes, and I need a lot of them every day," Xia Fan corrected. "Nitre cannot fill this gap. Only magic can do it."

"Well, just take it as one of the reasons, and you have no other plans?"

"Uh... what else can I draw?"

This sentence is a thousand words. The most unique thing about the living dead is that they have a strong fighting ability, and it is difficult to really die. Use the lost army.

If that's the case, Qian Yan isn't too worried. What she really cares about is the relationship between the other party and the Privy Council—they are already in charge at such a young age, and there may be some important person behind them. If the Privy Council wants to attract the attention of the living dead, it must be extremely vigilant.

This is also the reason why the current Patriarch asked her to come to Jinxia to find out.

Fang Xiandao has no experience, but Qianzhi is too naive.

Only she can judge.

However, Qianyan never expected that the other party just wanted a lot of ice.

She tried to find a trace of concealment or deliberately playing stupid emotions from Xia Fan's expression, but she still found nothing.

After hesitating for a moment, Qian Yan decided to go straight to the point—"Isn't it for the fairy art?"

If it is related to the Privy Council, it must be inseparable from the matter of immortality. She suddenly brought up this topic, which might expose the other party's flaws.

"Xianshu... what is that?" Xia Fan frowned.

"You haven't even heard of fairy art?" Qian Yan was also surprised. Doesn't this mean that the other party is not even a high-level figure in the Privy Council?

"Should I know about it?" Xia Fan pondered for a while, "The living dead are related to fairy art?"

"No... nothing." Qian Yan suddenly didn't know how to probe further. Although her basis for judging people is not alchemy, it is more accurate than alchemy to a certain extent. Because a spell can be interfered or cracked by another spell, but expressions, body details, and the flow of breath are difficult to be reversed by will. Even if a person is always expressionless and calm, she can still catch the slightest incongruity - after all, an unchanging expression is a kind of camouflage.

However, after asking all the way, that incongruity has never appeared on the other party.

Only muddy water needs insight.

If there is a basin of clear water in front of her, no matter how wide her eyes are, what clues can she see?

Qian Yan simply changed the subject, "Where did you learn from the knowledge you were taught in school?"

"No one has taught me." Although Xia Fan really wanted to know the details of the fairy art, he didn't want to miss the living dead. "They have been imprinted in my mind from the very beginning."

"Do you want to say that you are a listener?"

The moment Qianyan uttered this sentence, Xia Fan saw a trace of surprise in his eyes - he obviously knew the meaning of this word.

"Where... did you hear that word?"

"It's no secret that I used to listen." Qian Yan frowned slightly, and a conflicted feeling came to his mind, as if something had been missed by him. "It seems that the reason for your rapid promotion is this..."

"The Privy Council doesn't know about this at all, and you'd better not bring up this word casually." Xia Fan glanced at Fang Xiandao and Qianzhi who were at a loss, "I heard that once the Privy Council finds out, everyone will attract huge attention. Trouble, the end will not be much better than that of monsters."

Qian Yan was taken aback when he heard the words.

A flash of lightning flashed across her mind——

She knew where that sense of contradiction came from!

As a listener, he actually knew nothing about fairy arts. This means that Xia Fan is not only a wild listener, but also always conceals his identity from the Privy Council!

Even if the person in front of him is Fu Cheng, he is not in the same boat as the Privy Council.
