n“It’s stabilized.”

nJiang Lan nodded.

nInitially, Jiang Lan thought that he would receive a gift from his master after his advancement.

nAfter all, when he built his foundation, his master had given him a vegetative egg.

nHowever, because of the vegetative egg, his master no longer gave him any more gifts.

nHis master had thought that it was a spirit pet initially, but who knew that it would end up as a potted plant instead?

nJiang Lan didn’t expect this either.

nHe had already thought of letting his spirit pet watch his door.

nIf its spiritual wisdom was sufficient, it could help him clean up the hall and clear the grass by the roadside.

nHowever, one’s plans could not keep up with changes.

n“You’ve been on the mountain for decades, but you’ve never been down, have you?” Mo Zhengdong asked softly.

nAs soon as he asked, Jiang Lan immediately said,

n“Master, I don’t want to go down the mountain for now.”

nMo Zhengdong remained silent.

n“You have formed your Golden Core, it’s time to go train in the outside world.”

n“Master, I will go out and train when I become an immortal in the future.”

n“…”

nMo Zhengdong looked at Jiang Lan and didn’t know what to say.

n“But without actual combat, your future path will be dangerous. It will also be a form of resistance, preventing you from becoming an immortal,” Mo Zhengdong said.

nJiang Lan lowered his head in silence.

n“There are many spirit herbs in the Witchcloud Mountain Range. The demonic beasts there aren’t too strong. Do you want to give it a try? The party leader is a Human Immortal. ”

n“Too far.”

nJiang Lan had naturally heard of the Witchcloud Mountain Range. It was said that many disciples would head there to train.

nHowever, it was located in the desolate north.

nThe distance from Kunlun to the mountain range was not something that could be reached by flying.

nJiang Lan naturally wouldn’t go so far away.

nIt was too dangerous.

n“What about the Qilin Mountain Range? It’s not too far. It’s about a ten days journey from here. With someone leading the team, the trip would take at most five days. The fortuitous opportunities in the Qilin Mountain Range are immeasurable. Also, it’s very easy to find a spirit beast that can be a spirit pet.” Mo Zhengdong asked again.

nJiang Lan thought for a moment and said.

n“Master, is there somewhere where I can go and come back within two hours?”

nMo Zhengdong remained silent.

nWas this disciple of his intending on going down the mountain to help clear the roadblocks?

nJiang Lan lowered his head in silence.

nHe did not reject such training. After all, he really lacked actual combat experience.

nSome things required practical experience.

nHowever, it was too dangerous for him to leave the Ninth Summit.

nBefore becoming an immortal, he did not want to go out.

nThat was unless it was a necessity. However, up till now, there had not been such a case.

n“Then let’s talk about other things first. The Jade Pool is opening soon. At that time, some immortals would try to enter the Jade Pool. As a personal disciple, you have to attend the ceremony,” said Mo Zhengdong.

n“Are we going to the Jade Pool to observe the ceremony?” Jiang Lan asked.

nThere was another place above that of the Kunlun Nine Summits, the Jade Pool Sacred Ground.

nIt was said that only women could enter and cultivate there.

nHowever, almost no one could enter it.

nOf course, Jiang Lan didn’t care about such a thing. What he cared about was that he could enter the Jade Pool to sign in.

nThe Jade Pool definitely had a path of Great Dao.

nIf he were to sign in at the Jade Pool, he would be able to obtain heaven-defying items that were on the same level as the Daoist Scripture and the Creation Pill.

nMo Zhengdong nodded. All personal disciples who did not have anything important on hand had to attend the event.

nIn the past, there were no representatives from the Ninth Summit. However, this time round, there was finally one.

nThen, he thought for a moment and said,

n“There’s a place suitable for you to train at the bottom of Kunlun Mountain. With your speed, you can reach the destination in around two hours. At that place, there is an Ice Cicada Forest. Go help me catch two ice cicadas. Four hours to and fro isn’t too far, right?” Mo Zhengdong asked.

nJiang Lan didn’t refuse this time.

nHis master had changed training outside into catching ice cicadas.

nIt was more or less an experience.

nAnd it was very close.

nIt was not much further than the inn where he bought wine for his master.

nIt was not easy to catch an ice cicada in the Golden Core stage, but it was not dangerous either.

nHowever, to a mid-stage Essence Soul cultivator like Jiang Lan, it didn’t seem to be much of a hassle.

nHe would take it as a trip to sign in.

nFortunately, it was close enough.

nSoon, Jiang Lan left the Ninth Summit.

nAfter learning the location of the Ice Cicada Forest, he planned to make a fast trip.

nHe still had not signed in today.

nHe didn’t want to waste any time.

nMo Zhengdong watched helplessly as Jiang Lan left.

n“It looks like when the time comes for choosing elite disciples for the Witchcloud Gathering, he won’t go either. Is this what happens when one’s temperament is too good?”

nApart from the necessary cultivation, there was basically nothing else his disciple wanted.

nMo Zhengdong smiled bitterly, but he did not blame him at all.

nHe did not dislike the feeling of being distressed for his disciple.

nInstead, he was very proud of this disciple of his.

n…

nJiang Lan’s speed was very fast. On the surface, he was at the Golden Core Realm. Thus, the speed at which he rode on his flying sword was also at the Golden Core Realm.

nHe did not fly too high and fast. Doing so was too high-profile and would easily provoke some seniors who were also traveling.

nSome people just didn’t like people flying over their heads.

nTherefore, Jiang Lan avoided all these carefully.

nSoon, he arrived at the Ice Cicada Forest.

nIt wasn’t far from Mount Kunlun. Or rather, it could be said that this place could barely be considered within Kunlun.

nIt was just that Kunlun had never cared about this place.

nAlthough Ice Cicadas were not ordinary, they were not a rare species.

nIt was not very useful for cultivation.

nThere was no need to care too much about them.

nJiang Lan stood in midair. In front of him were some trees stained with frost.

nIt was the same everywhere he looked.

nThis was the Ice Cicada Forest.

nJiang Lan landed in the forest and began to search for the ice cicadas.

nAs he walked deeper into the forest, the sounds of the forest gradually subsided.

nIt didn’t take long for Jiang Lan to feel that the forest had become unusually quiet. The Ice Cicada Forest wasn’t supposed to be like this.

nHe had checked the information regarding this place.

n“Something is wrong here.”

nWith this thought in mind, Jiang Lan decided to withdraw.

nHowever, he suddenly felt someone staring at him.

nThe person was not far behind him.

nWithout any hesitation, Jiang Lan looked behind him.

nHowever, there was no one behind except for a few trees.

nJiang Lan frowned, but there was no danger for now.

n“I shall sign in here first.”

n
