Chapter 119: Becoming An Immortal As Soon As Possible
Jiang Lan stood at the counter. He looked at the accounts book and then at the counter. He realized that there were two people who had ordered good wine today.
They were Lu Jian and Ao Ye.
Jiang Lan knew of the Eighth Summit’s Lu Jian.
“Does this Senior Brother like to drink so much?”
He wasn’t sure.
After that, he placed his gaze onto the name Ao Ye. He’d never seen this name before.
However, the surname Ao made him subconsciously think of the Dragon Race.
Hopefully, he was just overthinking things.
He would just stand there to wait for customers to arrive.
Creak. The teacup began to sway. Jiang Lan’s hand immediately moved to hold onto the teacup. Then, he planned to clean up the place.
Although the inn looked very clean now.
A moment later, he realized that the inn not only looked clean on the surface, it was in fact really clean.
After placing the wine bottles on the counter, Jiang Lan saw someone walk in.
There were a total of three people, and the one leading them was a middle-aged man with black hair and eyes that were slightly deep. He wore luxurious clothes and seemed extraordinary.
Beside the middle-aged man were a man and a woman.
The man wore armor and had a surging murderous aura like a general.
On the other hand, the woman was dignified and elegant. There was an air of n.o.bility around her.
This woman walked together with the middle-aged man, seeming to be his Dao partner or something along the line.
“They aren’t from Kunlun. The one with the highest cultivation is at the Essence Soul Realm. They should be an aristocrat from a certain place. ”
There were countless humans in the Grand Desolate World, and where there were people, there would naturally be a group of people who were put in a position of authority.
However, it was nothing to the major cultivation organizations.
Cultivators were long-sighted and rarely cared about worldly affairs.
“Shopkeeper, bring a pot of good wine and some dishes with wine.”
The middle-aged man Zhou Bo spoke politely to Jiang Lan.
“Good wine can only be sold when the innkeeper comes back. Currently, there are only ordinary ones,” Jiang Lan replied politely.
Zhou Bo nodded.
“Then some ordinary wine will do.”
After they took their seats, Jiang Lan prepared some jerky and some peanuts for them.
Only Zhou Bo and his wife were sitting. The general was standing.
However, when they saw the dishes being served, they frowned slightly.
Madam Zhou wanted to say something, but Zhou Bo grabbed her hand, indicating that it was fine.
Thus, she decided to keep quiet.
The general behind him also felt that this shopkeeper was too much.
Jiang Lan didn’t pay any attention to them. After doing what needed to be done, he quietly stood at the counter.
Although his eyes were open, his mind was already somewhere else.
He felt like he could head into the inn at the spiritual level.
However, he could not give it a try as he had guests currently.
He would try again when Xiao Yu returned.
Ta-da!
Zhou Shu ran in from outside. The first thing he saw was Zhou Bo and the others sitting inside.
Zhou Bo and the rest also saw Zhou Shu who came in immediately.
When they saw Zhou Shu, the two of them smiled with relief.
“Father, Mother.” Zhou Shu immediately came to Zhou Bo’s side and called out softly.
“You’ve grown a lot. Come over and let Mother take a look,” said Madam Zhou happily.
Jiang Lan looked at these people, his heart calm.
But this scene made him reminiscence of the past.
Those people were asking Zhou Shu about Kunlun.
They were complaining that normal people simply couldn’t enter Kunlun without a valid reason, even if it was to visit their child.
Jiang Lan, who happened to hear this, didn’t really agree.
There were many spies among the ordinary disciples.
Kunlun was actually not that secure.
According to Feng Ji, Kunlun was only very strict when choosing personal disciples.
Some time later, Jiang Lan heard footsteps at the door.
He looked up and felt nervous.
The one who entered was a dragon with a gloomy expression.
This person was none other than the Dragon Race powerful being who had come over to drink a few days ago.
However, the person before him did not emit any aura or reveal his dragon horn.
He seemed to have kept a much lower profile.
“Give me some good wine and meat.” A small round wooden token was tossed towards Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan took over the token.
He had some understanding.
“He’s Ao Ye.”
The person who had ordered the wine was indeed a dragon.
Without any hesitation, he sent the dried meat and good wine to Ao Ye’s table.
However, Zhou Bo and the rest were rather surprised.
Didn’t they have to wait for the innkeeper to come back before they could get good wine?
Was it because they were outsiders?
Or was it because they did not gift the shopkeeper something?
However, they didn’t ask immediately. They decided that they would ask at the counter later.
Bang!
It was the sound of the wine bottle shattering again.
Hearing this voice, Jiang Lan sighed in his heart.
Again.
Why was it that he would always encounter dragons when they were angry?
When Jiang Lan turned around, Ao Ye’s voice was filled with anger.
“This is just a mouthful of wine. Do you think you’re feeding a dog?”
“Is this something that I can control?” Jiang Lan thought in his heart.
“One jar, bring me a jar from the backyard.” Ao Ye’s deep voice traveled into Jiang Lan’s ears.
“Senior, please wait.” Jiang Lan naturally couldn’t refuse.
When Zhou Bo saw that Jiang Lan was so easy to talk to, he was a bit surprised.
So they were actually looked down upon?
After hesitating for a moment, he wanted to try and ask for a jar of good wine too.
But just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhou Shu make a shus.h.i.+ng gesture.
Then, he gave up.
He was curious. What was wrong?
However, they did not speak immediately. This was Kunlun’s territory, so they did not dare to act rashly.
They, who held high positions, were indeed uncomfortable after they felt that they were being looked down upon.
Bang!
While they were still complaining in their hearts, they suddenly heard a loud bang.
Then, they saw Jiang Lan being attacked and cras.h.i.+ng into the counter.
Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Then, they saw a strange beast walk in.
It spat without saying anything.
It was toward Ao Ye, but Ao Ye had blocked it with a plate.
“Beast, do you think the same moves would work against me—”
Slosh.
Ao Ye was covered in vomit.
Pa!
Ao Ye slapped the table and stood up.
“Evil creature, I will skin you alive today.”
Roar!
A dragon’s roar rang out from his mouth.
It was earth-shattering.
Afterward, the sound of the wind whistled as the dragon gave chase.
Once again, the inn was in a mess.
Zhou Bo and the others broke out in cold sweat upon seeing this.
Their hearts trembled.
In that instant, they felt like they were going to die here.
That was… a dragon?
When they came back to their senses, they realized that Jiang Lan was already calmly cleaning the place.
At this moment, Zhou Bo and the others didn’t bother thinking about the good wine anymore.
They didn’t dare show the slightest disrespect towards Jiang Lan.
This place was not simple at all.
As Ao Ye left in a rush, he did not place an order for good wine for the next day.
…
He still had to meet Ao Ye the day after tomorrow.
Every time he encountered Ao Ye, he would be injured.
Jiang Lan felt that this training was more dangerous than all the trainings he had outside of Kunlun before.
In the past, he had encountered people of the same cultivation level.
He had enough power to kill them, but this time, he had encountered a real dragon.
He was so powerful that he could kill him with a single palm strike.
His position was too pa.s.sive.
“I have to become an immortal as soon as possible.”
After becoming a Human Immortal, even if he could not defeat such people, he could still protect himself.
Not long after cleaning up, Jiang Lan saw Xiao Yu return.
The moment Xiao Yu returned, she went to the counter and stood on the small chair to look at the account book.
It was as if she had been waiting for this moment since yesterday.
