Chapter 170: I’m Actually Very Strong Too

Jiang Lan stood in front of the spirit herb.

This spirit herb was indeed not bad.

However, it was not of much use to him.

“I can plant it in the pond to make the water quality better. It should be of some help to the array formations too.”

This spirit herb didn’t increase one’s cultivation, but as long as one touched the water in it, it would have a healing effect on the user.

There was more or less some spiritual energy in it.

If he grew such herbs in the Ninth Summit, the corresponding array formations would become stronger. Over time, they would become much stronger.

However, removing weeds would also become more difficult.

The advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

With this thought in mind, he tried to transplant this spirit herb.

“It’s very old, but it’s just matured.”

Growing a Qingyi Water Flower was all about the environment.

The better the environment, the later it would mature, and correspondingly, the higher the quality.

This stalk of spirit herb wasn’t the best, but it wasn’t far off either.

If he brought back this spirit herb, he would not be scolded. Anyone could find out about the origins of this flower.

He had originally planned to find a reasonable excuse to offer the Bejeweled Nectar Wine he had to his master, but now it seemed that he would have to wait for some time.

He had to wait till he reached the Void Refinement Realm on the surface.

That would be more suitable.

If he had yet to reach the Void Refinement Realm, he would not be able to gift it to his master anyways.

At the thought of this, Jiang Lan shook his head. It would take him another hundred years to progress to the Void Refinement Realm on the surface.

Furthermore, he had concealed his cultivation.

A hundred years was neither fast nor slow.

It would depend on how he advanced in the future.

Human Immortals were the weakest among all the immortals.

He would definitely continue to improve. If he wanted to be invincible in Kunlun and invincible across the Grand Desolate World, becoming an immortal was not enough.

He wanted…

To become a sage.

But how difficult was it to become a sage? He did not even know how difficult it was.

It was still too far away for the current him and he was in no hurry to think about it.

When he returned, he would first learn One Leaf Shrouding The Sky, and then figure out about the different immortal realms.

After that, he would consolidate his current realm and continue increasing his cultivation.

“It’s done.”

He had extracted the Qingyi Water Flower successfully.

Fortunately, he had some understanding of the basics in this aspect. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him today.

The ten-year lecture that his Senior Sister had covered this aspect. It could be said that the ten-year lecture had been extremely important to him.

Yet Xiao Yu had only asked for him to embed his Dragon Slaying Sword’s Sword Intent ten times.

This was not a fair trade.

But…

Perhaps there was no need for fair transactions between them anymore.

It was not good to be too fair.

He did not hate this unfair feeling.

This was only true towards Xiao Yu. As for the others, he still wanted to make sure he engaged in fair deals. He did not want to owe anyone, and he did not need anyone to owe him.

Except for his master.

He had always owed his master. Since he could not repay him fully, he did not have to persist in repaying him.

It was fine as long as he did not disappoint his master.

Jiang Lan planned to keep the spirit herb in the red gourd.

He, who had already become an immortal, still used the storage Dharma treasure he had obtained at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

He had never gotten another good storage Dharma treasure from signing in.

It would be useless even if there was.

However, just as he was about to put away the spirit herb, a power suddenly locked onto him.

Soon, flames descended.

In a flash, Jiang Lan retreated a few steps.

As for the original position, it was directly burned away by the flames.

Following that, three figures descended from the sky.

The leader of the group was burning with flames and had a powerful aura.

“Late-stage Human Immortal, a fire demon.”

With a single glance, Jiang Lan saw through this middle-aged man who was covered in flames.

The other party seemed to be after what he had in his hand.

Beside him was a green ox demon with bull horns and a tree demon without any special characteristics.

Both of them looked young.

They were both late-stage Human Immortals.

It was very strong.

This was Jiang Lan’s first intuitive thought.

None of the three were weaker than him.

And just at this moment, a thunderbolt struck down from the skies.

A young man with a dragon horn, holding a halberd, stood valiant.

“Heh, I was a step too late. However, this little fellow Daoist, your cultivation level is a little weak. How about you give it to me? I guarantee that you will be fine.” Ao Man looked at Jiang Lan and said.

The person who came was naturally Ao Man from the Dragon Race and Huo Zhi from the Demon Race.

“Dragon Race? He looks very young and his cultivation level is very high. He’s much stronger than Xiao Yu.” Just by looking at the dragon, he could tell that it wasn’t that old.

However, his late-stage Human Immortal cultivation base was far superior to Xiao Yu’s.

“Humph, the Eighth Prince is still here. Do you still want to try and get the treasure? I’m afraid you will die here today,” said Huo Zhi disdainfully as he looked at Ao Man.

There were three of them this time, how could Ao Man fight them?

As long as the item was not taken by him, they would be invincible.

The other party was too fast.

However, he did not expect it to be the Qingyi Water Flower. If he knew, it would not be just the three of them.

Ao Man smiled and said.

“Don’t talk about it. Can you guys even catch up to me in speed. You didn’t manage to do anything to me the last time I was ambushed by you.”

Huo Zhi ignored Ao Man’s words and looked at Jiang Lan instead.

“Human, hand it over.”

Jiang Lan stood there. Because he had used One Leaf Vision, his cultivation on the surface had returned to what he had displayed earlier.

Early-stage Essence Soul Realm.

“My cultivation is about the same as yours.” Jiang Lan looked at Huo Zhi and spoke.

After that, his cultivation base directly rose to the mid-stage Human Immortal Realm.

Huo Zhi: “…”

Ao Man: “…”

This human…

It was no wonder they couldn’t see through him.

“Do you guys still want to snatch it from me?” Jiang Lan asked.

He wasn’t sure if he could kill all four of them.

If he was going to attack, he wasn’t going to hold back.

Thus, he released most of his cultivation base to see what the other party was thinking.

One of them was a dragon, while the other party consisted of demons.

He did not know what trump cards or background they had.

However, being an immortal oneself was already a sufficiently strong background.

He didn’t know if he could hide this incident with his One Leaf Vision too.

If they could avoid becoming enemies, everyone would be fine.

As for handing what he had in his hand over…

If he were to give away the treasures he had just because he did not want to fight.

How far would he be able to go on the path of cultivation?

Some things could be avoided, but he had to face some things head-on no matter how difficult it was.

The mentality of not causing trouble and avoiding danger was meant for incidents that had yet to involve him.

If the other party already wanted to kill him, then he could only retaliate with the Power of Nine Bulls.

It should be the Power Of Nine Tribulations now.

Of course, he could not leave behind any trouble as it would only make things more troublesome.

Ao Man looked at this person and did not know what to say.

This human was somewhat different from the humans he knew in the past. But let alone a mid-stage Human Immortal, even a late-stage Human Immortal was useless in front of them.

Huo Zhi and the other two were all late-stage Human Immortals.

Therefore, they would not give up.

“Is there a difference?” Huo Zhi’s voice rang out. He stared coldly at Jiang Lan.

“To us, what’s the difference between an early-stage Essence Soul and a mid-stage Human Immortal? With the three of us working together, can you even block our next move?

Forget about the three of us acting together. Even if I were to act alone, would you be able to block the next move? Human, the weak you have no choice.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Zhi took a step forward and transformed into a flame as he headed straight for Jiang Lan.

He didn’t look down on Jiang Lan. He used his strength to the limit. He wanted to defeat Jiang Lan in the shortest time possible and seize the treasure.

“Human, what you can choose now is how to struggle to survive. Instead of bargaining with us.”

After Huo Zhi moved, the other two followed suit. Their target was Ao Man.

“Shit.”

Ao Man frowned.

Once Huo Zhi succeeded in getting the treasure, it would be very difficult for him to snatch it over.
