Chapter 94: The Thing Is With Jiang Lan
Hearing this question, Lin Siya felt a little embarra.s.sed.
Not long ago, she had advanced to the Essence Soul Realm.
Thus, she actually had the time to go find out the whereabouts of the item.
But she hadn’t gotten that thing yet.
“Actually, I already roughly know who it is with,” Lin Siya said.
Ao Longyu looked at Lin Siya expressionlessly.
It was as if she was not asking anything but just looking at her.
“I heard that it was with the First Summit’s Jingting and thus went to ask him about it…” Lin Siya looked at Ao Longyu and said.
“In the end, the answer was that… The item is currently with the Junior Brother of the Ninth Summit.”
“However, with the current situation of Junior Brother, I don’t dare to look for him.”
Ao Longyu looked at Lin Siya before turning to look at the Ninth Summit.
She felt that she had missed the chance to get her thing back.
If she had asked Junior Sister Siya to bring the bead over in exchange for the recording Dharma treasure.
There was still a chance that she could get it back.
“Looks like I’ll have to wait a few days. I hope that it hasn’t been opened.”
Ao Longyu muttered to herself.
…
…
Soon, Jiang Lan returned to the Ninth Summit.
He looked at the square in front of the main hall and realized that he really needed to repair it himself.
Fortunately, it was not troublesome.
After filling up the hole, Jiang Lan went to look for the required stones.
He had to go to other places in the sect to get them.
Or he had to find and polish the rocks himself.
Jiang Lan planned to polish it herself and draw some runes on them along the way. This would strengthen the quality of the floor.
At the very least, it was unlikely that a huge hole would be formed from a single strike.
Doing so could prevent frequent maintenance.
This matter was not urgent.
He decided that he would just do it tomorrow.
He would recover first today and then see if anyone still had their eyes on him.
Miao Xiu was dead.
But those three Immortals were still alive.
He couldn’t rule out the possibility that they knew Miao Xiu was here to kill him.
He had to recover first.
When Jiang Lan returned to the Netherworld Cave, he sat down cross-legged.
Then, he opened the G.o.ddess Diagram to cultivate.
Jiang Lan was stunned when he opened the G.o.ddess Diagram.
“What had just happened?”
Under normal circ.u.mstances, he should still have quite a bit of the essence in the G.o.ddess Diagram.
Even if he had become an immortal, it would still be beneficial to one’s cultivation.
The rate of acc.u.mulation of the essence should have exceeded the rate of consumption.
In theory, there shouldn’t be a situation where it was empty.
But…
It was gone again.
“Has something happened to the Jade Pool?”
Jiang Lan then looked for Ao Longyu and discovered that she was still lying weakly by the lake.
“The problem definitely lies with Ao Longyu, but I will need to ask her what the problem is.”
But it was impossible for him to do so.
Subsequently, Jiang Lan ate a pill that he had just gained from signing in.
He began cultivating.
The next day.
[Ding!]
[Signed in successfully. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the gift of the Great Dao. You have obtained the medicinal pill, the Void Spirit Pill.]
[Void Spirit Pill: High-grade pill. Meant for the spirit. It can be used to increase the cultivation base of a Void Refinement cultivator.]
The moment Jiang Lan opened his eyes, he had conveniently signed in.
The Void Spirit Pill was a very common pill for cultivators who had reached the Void Refinement Realm.
Occasionally, there would be spells, Dharma treasures, and runes.
However, most of the time, it would be pills meant for one at the Void Refinement Realm.
“If I have the time, I should sign in somewhere else. Perhaps I could receive something different.”
“If I can go to the Jade Pool, I might receive something good.”
He felt that his reward of signing in the second time at the Jade Pool would be pretty good too.
However, Jiang Lan didn’t plan to go now.
Right now, he should focus on improving his strength.
This was especially the case when he might be targeted by the Heavenly Human Race.
He could protect himself only if he was strong enough.
However, he didn’t feel like he was being stared at anymore throughout the whole night.
There were two possibilities. The first was that the other party no longer targeted him.
The second was that the other party was not staring at him like how Miao Xiu did. If it was so, he wouldn’t be able to feel anything.
His current strength was not strong enough.
If he was strong enough, he would be able to know the moment someone was trying to find out something about him.
The second possibility was higher.
Jiang Lan didn’t know what the Heavenly Human Race would do next.
There was no need for him to think too much about it now.
After all, he was not prepared to go out.
Hence, they could not threaten him.
He would think about it when he went out to transcend the tribulation.
During these years, he would learn a bit more about the Heavenly Human Race’s situation. By doing so, he won’t be as clueless as he first was when he met them.
After leaving the Netherworld Cave, Jiang Lan arrived at the place where the stones were placed.
Boom!
There was a loud bang.
Jiang Lan cut off the boulder and began to use various spell techniques to cut it into pieces.
Then, he moved the items to the square in the main hall.
When he ascended the Stairway To Heavens, his mind had been slightly affected and he had still yet to fully recover.
Doing such things could calm his heart.
Therefore, it was not a bad thing for him to start cultivating only a few days later.
Instead, there would be many benefits.
Especially after yesterday’s cultivation, he could sense a slight change.
When he reached the square, Jiang Lan was a little surprised.
It was not because the square had been repaired.
Instead, there was a familiar blue bead floating above the square.
The bead seemed to have come from behind Kunlun.
There was a faint trail of light.
“This came from the Jade Pool?”
Jiang Lan was a little surprised and reached out his hand.
“Come.”
Spirit Language Spell.
As soon as he finished speaking, the blue bead fell from the sky and landed quietly in Jiang Lan’s palm.
“Essence of all things?”
When he saw the bead, Jiang Lan knew what it was.
This bead could only be condensed by Ao Longyu, who was the Jade Pool G.o.ddess.
But why did this bead appear in the Ninth Summit?
According to the traces he had seen, it was most likely sent by Ao Longyu.
“So, once Ao Longyu condenses a bead, the G.o.ddess Diagram can’t be used?”
Jiang Lan instantly thought of the G.o.ddess Diagram.
The last time he couldn’t use it was because Ao Longyu had condensed a bead for him.
This time, it could not be used again after another bead had just been condensed.
There must be a connection between the two.
Jiang Lan discovered that there was a flaw in the G.o.ddess Diagram, which was that when Ao Longyu condensed a bead, all of the essence within it would be extracted out as well.
And he could not extract the other party’s essence.
Then he focused on the bead.
Why would Ao Longyu give him the bead again?
After pondering for a moment, he understood.
Miao Xiu wanted to challenge Ao Longyu, but Ao Longyu was weak because she had advanced too quickly.
She was no match for Miao Xiu.
Once the Jade Pool G.o.ddess was defeated, the effects would be significant.
However, this crisis was unintentionally ended by Jiang Lan.
Regardless of what others thought, Ao Longyu chose to accept this kindness.
Therefore, he gave him the bead.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Lan put away the bead.
He had no reason not to accept it.
With the help of the bead, his future cultivation would not be limited to consuming medicinal pills.
Netherworld Aura, medicinal pills, and the essence of all things. He had the supplement of these three things.
It should be able to pull him closer to becoming an immortal.
After that, Jiang Lan began to polish and repair the square.
Of course, he was also pondering how to inscribe the array formation onto the slabs of rock.
He didn’t know much about array formations.
However, he knew a thing or two about how to make the square be able to withstand an attack.
It was not to strengthen the defense.
It was better to divert than to block. He could use a diversion array formation.
It would absorb the power and transfer it elsewhere.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Lan started working.
Five days pa.s.sed in a flash.
At that moment, there was no longer a huge pit in the Ninth Summit’s square.
Jiang Lan stood on the repaired square and examined it.
“If it acc.u.mulates too much energy from the attacks, it might explode. I should add some energy-consuming array formations.”
Jiang Lan then set up a defensive formation and an offensive formation.
Because his attainment was not high enough, he only inscribed some minor array formations.
After that, he would slowly add more when he knew more.
