Chapter 285: Excess Fortuitous Opportunity
Ba Country.
It was still a common cloudy day.
In a courtyard piled with firewood, a woman stood in front of the courtyard and looked into the distance.
Today was the day that one of the logistics teams returned.
She was waiting.
From dawn until noon.
No one came.
She didn’t think much of it and she didn’t move.
Still standing quietly in front of the yard, she continued waiting.
A gentle breeze stirred the corners of the woman’s clothes, and she kept looking at the end of the road.
Until dark, a figure appeared at the end of the road, waving at her.
One of his hands was heavily injured, while the other was similarly injured.
Fortunately, none of them were very serious.
“Mother.” A loud voice came from the end.
“Mother, I’m back.”
After a few breaths, the figure at the end of the corridor ran up to the lady.
The moment he came over, he moved his heavily injured arm and said excitedly.
“Mother, I’ve been blessed by the Fist G.o.d. I have broken the Ghost Suppressing Stone that not even a commander could break with one punch! I am already recognized as the number one fist expert in Ba Country.
After the Fist G.o.d dies, I want to be the next Unparalleled Fist G.o.d. I want to establish merit and kill strong enemies.”
Qing Mu was very excited. It was as if he was getting closer to becoming the Fist G.o.d.
“It’s time to eat. The food is getting cold,” the woman said softly.
“Alright, Mother.” Aoki looked around and said,
“Mother, where’s Father?”
“He went to get you some good food. He’s coming back,” the woman said.
“Really? Then I’ll wait for father.” The youth said and was about to go outside to wait.
The woman did not stop him. She only stopped in the yard and looked at the statue that Qing Mu had always kept with him.
She looked at the wooden statue and lowered her head respectfully.
As if in grat.i.tude.
…
…
Jiang Lan stopped at a place with more wild animals.
While thinking about the problem, he was thinking about how to find battle achievements.
Whether or not the t.i.tle of Deity Position needed to be changed was not urgent.
The most important thing now was to grasp the Deity Position and not let Imperial Lord Xi He sense his general location.
He only had two hundred years left. He hoped that he could do it.
The strongest he could become with a little more than two centuries should be a Heaven Immortal.
Heaven Immortals were not considered strong in the eyes of people like his master.
This meant that he would still be a small fry in Imperial Lord Xi He’s eyes.
Roar!
A dragon’s roar sounded.
Jiang Lan looked over and saw a giant dragon coming towards him.
For a moment, he wanted to use his Dragon Slaying Sword.
“Brother-in-law.” The giant dragon landed in front of Jiang Lan and transformed into Ao Man.
He was holding two rabbits in his hands.
“Brother-in-law is also here to catch wild animals? What do you want? Let me do it. I will definitely not make a mistake,” promised the Eighth Prince.
Would a True Immortal make a mistake when catching a rabbit? Jiang Lan thought to himself.
However, he shook his head.
“I am just pa.s.sing by.”
“Brother-in-law, are you looking for the Underground Devils?” The Eighth Prince asked curiously.
Jiang Lan nodded slightly, not saying anything.
The Eighth Prince threw away the two rabbits and said to Jiang Lan.
“Let me help Brother-in-law find them.”
Jiang Lan was silent.
With the Eighth Prince’s help, it would indeed be much faster.
But if it was known, it would be rather conspicuous.
He might even be criticized.
“Eighth Prince, you should go back and look after the store,” Jiang Lan said softly.
He did not care about being criticized. The main thing was that if he did not complete this training himself, his master might be disappointed.
Therefore, it was better for him to get a decent battle achievement himself.
He wanted to let his master be happy.
For the next two hundred years, it would be impossible for him to go out and train.
“I don’t need to watch the store anymore. The boss is back.” The Eighth Prince felt that it was a pity.
“I heard that the young lad was injured because of the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race.”
A hero saving a beauty? Jiang Lan was curious.
“I heard from the youth that the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race deliberately came to his side. He had rushed forward foolishly. I told him before that the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race was very scheming. But he didn’t believe me.” The Eighth Prince looked at Jiang Lan and said.
“Brother-in-law, tell him about it. He’ll listen to you.”
Jiang Lan knew why the youth listened to him. It was because he had a fiancée and he felt that the youth might have misunderstood something.
However, would the innkeeper really agree if the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race really made use of this youth?
Or did he want the youth to be injured once?
No one knew.
After bidding farewell to the Eighth Prince, Jiang Lan began to search for the whereabouts of the Underground Devils.
After two days, he finally killed five Underground Devils.
One was at the mid-stage Void Refinement Realm, three were at the early-stage Void Refinement Realm, and one was at the perfected Essence Soul Realm.
“Why didn’t he escape?”
Jiang Lan was confused as well.
However, he did not mind. He planned to return to the Ninth Summit.
On the way, he came to the old inn to buy some good wine.
He wanted to buy it for his master.
However, upon entering, he heard dragon roars and energy fluctuations.
Boom!!
A dragon and the Pixiu flew out.
It was probably Ao Ye again.
“This dragon is too annoying. If you can’t drink, don’t drink. Every time you drink, you make a fuss. I feel like the Pixiu and the wild dragon have joined forces to cheat me of my spirit stones.” The youth’s complaints reached Jiang Lan’s ears.
Jiang Lan: “…”
The Pixiu charged a price every time it had to act.
The youth was the one who had brought it up with such a habit.
In the end, the youth was the one who suffered.
Walking into the inn, Jiang Lan was surprised.
He saw the girl from the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race packing things together with the youth.
They were different now, or rather, the phoenix was different.
There was an additional strand of fortuitous opportunity on her body.
On the other hand, the young man only had some vague fortuitous opportunity on him, not even a strand of it.
Where did they come from?
Wutong Mountain?
According to the Eighth Prince, they had gone to Wutong Mountain. Was that where they got it from?
No wonder the innkeeper listened to the young man and chose this time to go to Wutong Mountain.
He also had a motive.
But did Imperial Lord Xi He really not care about these fortuitous opportunities?
On second thought, he probably didn’t care about it. After all, he was a person with a Deity Position and was also in Kunlun.
Even if he were to care, he would care about people like himself who had a Deity Position and not people who just had a strand of fortuitous opportunity.
A strand of fortuitous opportunity was basically nothing.
“Big brother wants good wine? Grandfather will be back later.” The youth said to Jiang Lan.
“Alright.” Jiang Lan nodded towards the youth.
He quietly sat in a corner and waited for the innkeeper to return.
At the same time, he could try to gain some insight into the spiritual inn.
Sitting in his seat, he tried to comprehend the spiritual inn.
Although he had already understood it, the boss’s spiritual inn was not as simple as he had initially thought.
At this moment, he remained calm, his heart calm like still water.
Standing on the surface of the water, he suddenly felt a bright light ahead.
It belonged to the spiritual inn.
“I’ve never seen—”
He didn’t dare to casually investigate. He lowered his head and didn’t pay attention.
This was to prevent accidents from happening.
However, the calm him seemed to have fallen into tranquility.
It was not silence, but tranquility.
There seemed to be water flowing around him, and there seemed to be birds singing and the fragrance of flowers.
At this moment, he felt truly blessed.
…
In the inn, when the youth saw that Jiang Lan was resting with his eyes closed again, he immediately planned to pull Jiang Lan into the spiritual inn.
He had become much stronger.
He would definitely succeed this time.
If he succeeded, his grandfather would not be able to stop him from doing anything.
It was the same for Hong Ya.
As long as she could pull him into the spiritual inn, she would no longer be in a pa.s.sive position.
And she wouldn’t be hara.s.sed anymore.
Except…
When the two of them tried to enter the spiritual inn, they realized that they were forced to retreat.
They looked at each other and saw the doubt in each other’s eyes.
“Grandpa talked about this kind of sign before. He had placed something inside the spiritual inn, and once it is obtained, it will cover the entire inn… Big brother, he…” The youth was endlessly shocked.
He had seen that thing before, but no matter how he chased after it, he couldn’t touch it.
