nIt was getting dark.

nJiang Lan closed the book.

nHe had just researched the benefits of using Dragon Language.

nThere were only some Dharma spells that originated from the Dragon race.

nOnly then would there be an additional effect.

nIt did not have an effect on the rest.

nThe prerequisite was that it required spells that could be casted with words.

nDharma spells that could be casted by just using their cultivation techniques would not have any additional effects.

nRelatively speaking, it was far inferior to the Kunlun Heart Sutra.

nHowever, when it came to spells like the Heavenly Thunder Descent or spells that could bring about clouds and rain, its effect was still better than the Kunlun Heart Sutra.

nIt was also beneficial to the Spirit Language Spell.

nHe could learn it when he had time, but his main focus was still on cultivation.

nHe had to be clear about his priorities.

n…

nWithout thinking further, Jiang Lan left the Ninth Summit and headed towards the Peaceful Void Lake.

nThe Peaceful Void Lake was not on any of the nine peaks.

nInstead, it was in a more remote location in Kunlun, closer to the First Summit.

nBut for Jiang Lan, it was too far away.

nFortunately, it had just turned dark. On the surface, his cultivation level was at the perfected Foundation Establishment realm.

nIt wouldn’t take too long to head over.

nThe full moon hung in the sky.

nJiang Lan arrived at the Peaceful Void Lake.

nHowever, when he arrived, he realized that there was only a straw hut with a pond in front of it.

nThere was a middle-aged man sitting in front of the pond.

nHe was fishing at night.

nThere were many Kunlun disciples sitting not far from the pond.

nIt was as if they were all waiting for something.

nOr as if they were meditating.

nJiang Lan could see that these people were not cultivating.

nAs for what they were doing, he didn’t know.

nHowever, he did not dare to disturb the senior who was fishing.

nInstead, he found an empty spot and sat down quietly.

nHe would wait for further developments.

nHowever, he did not intend to waste his time waiting. Instead, he remained silent in his heart and began training himself.

nOf course, if there was any commotion in the outside world, he would wake up.

nAfter all, he was here to find an opportunity to advance.

nJust as Jiang Lan was immersed in thought, the middle-aged man who was originally fishing suddenly saw ripples appear in the pond.

nHe looked at the disciples in surprise before his gaze landed on Jiang Lan.

n“Perfected Foundation Establishment? His talent is a little lacking.”

nBut it was enough.

nThen, the middle-aged man moved his fishing rod and sent a drop of water in Jiang Lan’s direction.

nDrip!

nWhen the water landed between Jiang Lan’s brows, he instantly opened his eyes.

nActually, he had already sensed it when the water drop came towards him. It was just that the speed of the water was very fast.

nHe could not avoid it in time.

nThis senior was also an expert.

n“You. Come here.” The Ancient Wine Daoist looked at Jiang Lan and said.

nJiang Lan stood up immediately and walked up to the Ancient Wine Daoist.

nAt this moment, the others naturally realized that someone had been called up.

n“Who is this person? He was actually called up.”

n“That’s right. Those of us who can’t afford good wine can only calm our hearts here and wait for Senior’s guidance. Is this person that lucky?”

n“He’s at the perfected Foundation Establishment realm. Amongst his peers, his cultivation isn’t low. Why haven’t I heard of him before?”

nThey were all very curious as to who this disciple who had suddenly appeared was.

nHowever, many people had never seen Jiang Lan before.

n“I’ve never seen him before. He might be a new disciple, but he’s already perfected the Foundation Establishment realm?

nIs he a genius?

nBut why haven’t I heard of him before?”

n“I think I’ve seen him before. Let me think.”

n“He’s the disciple of the Ninth Summit. I saw him once during the treasure selection thirty years ago.”

n“The Ninth Summit? Didn’t they say that there are no disciples there?”

n“There are, but their innate potentials are poor. But he’s already perfected the Foundation Establishment realm.”

n“Any random person who is receiving all of the resources from a peak will be able to perfect the Foundation Establishment realm in thirty to forty years. This is already considered slow.

nAnd if this continues, it will only squeeze his potential dry. It will be very difficult for him to go far.”

nJiang Lan didn’t mind the small discussions around him. He only said respectfully to the senior in front of him,

n“Senior.”

nThe Ancient Wine Daoist looked at Jiang Lan curiously. He naturally heard the whispers of the disciples.

nSo he was a disciple of the Ninth Summit.

n“Did your Master ask you to bring the wine?” The Ancient Wine Daoist asked Jiang Lan.

nHe didn’t want to mention it at first, but Mo Zhengdong had promised him a pot of good wine many years ago.

nThere was no reason not to get it and save the other party a pot of good wine.

nBut it was no wonder this boy could stay in the Ninth Summit for so long.

nHe was not simple.

n“Yes.”

nJiang Lan immediately took out the wine his Master had given him and handed it over.

nHe realized that he seemed to have gone through the wrong process.

nFortunately, it did not affect him much.

nThe Ancient Wine Daoist took the wine and said with a smile,

n“I’ll send you to the ninth location of the Peaceful Void Lake. How far you can go will depend on you.

nYou will see everything you lack on the surface of the lake. As long as you understand the weaknesses of your cultivation realm, it will be easier for you to advance to the Golden Core realm.

nIf your mind can’t withstand it, you will fall into the lake.

nYou can only come out by yourself after that.”

n“Thank you, Senior.” Jiang Lan thanked him softly.

nIn other words, he could see what his Essence Soul lacked.

nPerhaps it would be of great help to him to advance to the Void Refinement stage.

nHowever, he didn’t know if others could see what he saw.

n“Don’t worry too much. No one can see what you’re seeing,” the Ancient Wine Daoist explained.

nHowever, at this moment, some of the disciples below were in an uproar.

n“The Master of the Ninth Summit opened a back door for him.”

n“The ninth location is where the senior brother from the First Summit is at.”

n“That location is indeed good, but if you’re entering through a back door, you won’t be able to stay for long, right?

nHe might come out in just a few minutes.”

n“That senior brother from the First Summit has been in there for more than a day. I heard that he’s trying to break through to the Essence Soul realm.”

n“If there’s no comparison, there’s no harm done. This junior brother is really unlucky. He’s going to be so embarrassed.”

n“If that senior brother heard what you said, he would probably feel humiliated, right?”

n“There are people in there too.” Jiang Lan’s heart was calm, but he felt helpless.

nHe actually liked being alone.

nIt was fine if there’s someone, as long as they did not interfere with one another.

nBut if it was like the Third Summit’s mystic realm, it would be very uncomfortable for him.
