Chapter 44: Taking the Back Door
It was getting dark.
Jiang Lan closed the book.
He had just researched the benefits of using Dragon Language.
There were only some Dharma spells that originated from the Dragon race.
Only then would there be an additional effect.
It did not have an effect on the rest.
The prerequisite was that it required spells that could be casted with words.
Dharma spells that could be casted by just using their cultivation techniques would not have any additional effects.
Relatively speaking, it was far inferior to the Kunlun Heart Sutra.
However, 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.
It was also beneficial to the Spirit Language Spell.
He could learn it when he had time, but his main focus was still on cultivation.
He had to be clear about his priorities.
…
Without thinking further, Jiang Lan left the Ninth Summit and headed towards the Peaceful Void Lake.
The Peaceful Void Lake was not on any of the nine peaks.
Instead, it was in a more remote location in Kunlun, closer to the First Summit.
But for Jiang Lan, it was too far away.
Fortunately, it had just turned dark. On the surface, his cultivation level was at the perfected Foundation Establishment realm.
It wouldn’t take too long to head over.
The full moon hung in the sky.
Jiang Lan arrived at the Peaceful Void Lake.
However, when he arrived, he realized that there was only a straw hut with a pond in front of it.
There was a middle-aged man sitting in front of the pond.
He was fishing at night.
There were many Kunlun disciples sitting not far from the pond.
It was as if they were all waiting for something.
Or as if they were meditating.
Jiang Lan could see that these people were not cultivating.
As for what they were doing, he didn’t know.
However, he did not dare to disturb the senior who was fishing.
Instead, he found an empty spot and sat down quietly.
He would wait for further developments.
However, he did not intend to waste his time waiting. Instead, he remained silent in his heart and began training himself.
Of course, if there was any commotion in the outside world, he would wake up.
After all, he was here to find an opportunity to advance.
Just as Jiang Lan was immersed in thought, the middle-aged man who was originally fishing suddenly saw ripples appear in the pond.
He looked at the disciples in surprise before his gaze landed on Jiang Lan.
“Perfected Foundation Establishment? His talent is a little lacking.”
But it was enough.
Then, the middle-aged man moved his fishing rod and sent a drop of water in Jiang Lan’s direction.
Drip!
When the water landed between Jiang Lan’s brows, he instantly opened his eyes.
Actually, he had already sensed it when the water drop came towards him. It was just that the speed of the water was very fast.
He could not avoid it in time.
This senior was also an expert.
“You. Come here.” The Ancient Wine Daoist looked at Jiang Lan and said.
Jiang Lan stood up immediately and walked up to the Ancient Wine Daoist.
At this moment, the others naturally realized that someone had been called up.
“Who is this person? He was actually called up.”
“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?”
“He’s at the perfected Foundation Establishment realm. Amongst his peers, his cultivation isn’t low. Why haven’t I heard of him before?”
They were all very curious as to who this disciple who had suddenly appeared was.
However, many people had never seen Jiang Lan before.
“I’ve never seen him before. He might be a new disciple, but he’s already perfected the Foundation Establishment realm?
Is he a genius?
But why haven’t I heard of him before?”
“I think I’ve seen him before. Let me think.”
“He’s the disciple of the Ninth Summit. I saw him once during the treasure selection thirty years ago.”
“The Ninth Summit? Didn’t they say that there are no disciples there?”
“There are, but their innate potentials are poor. But he’s already perfected the Foundation Establishment realm.”
“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.
And if this continues, it will only squeeze his potential dry. It will be very difficult for him to go far.”
Jiang Lan didn’t mind the small discussions around him. He only said respectfully to the senior in front of him,
“Senior.”
The Ancient Wine Daoist looked at Jiang Lan curiously. He naturally heard the whispers of the disciples.
So he was a disciple of the Ninth Summit.
“Did your Master ask you to bring the wine?” The Ancient Wine Daoist asked Jiang Lan.
He didn’t want to mention it at first, but Mo Zhengdong had promised him a pot of good wine many years ago.
There was no reason not to get it and save the other party a pot of good wine.
But it was no wonder this boy could stay in the Ninth Summit for so long.
He was not simple.
“Yes.”
Jiang Lan immediately took out the wine his Master had given him and handed it over.
He realized that he seemed to have gone through the wrong process.
Fortunately, it did not affect him much.
The Ancient Wine Daoist took the wine and said with a smile,
“I’ll send you to the ninth location of the Peaceful Void Lake. How far you can go will depend on you.
You 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.
If your mind can’t withstand it, you will fall into the lake.
You can only come out by yourself after that.”
“Thank you, Senior.” Jiang Lan thanked him softly.
In other words, he could see what his Essence Soul lacked.
Perhaps it would be of great help to him to advance to the Void Refinement stage.
However, he didn’t know if others could see what he saw.
“Don’t worry too much. No one can see what you’re seeing,” the Ancient Wine Daoist explained.
However, at this moment, some of the disciples below were in an uproar.
“The Master of the Ninth Summit opened a back door for him.”
“The ninth location is where the senior brother from the First Summit is at.”
“That location is indeed good, but if you’re entering through a back door, you won’t be able to stay for long, right?
He might come out in just a few minutes.”
“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.”
“If there’s no comparison, there’s no harm done. This junior brother is really unlucky. He’s going to be so embarrassed.”
“If that senior brother heard what you said, he would probably feel humiliated, right?”
“There are people in there too.” Jiang Lan’s heart was calm, but he felt helpless.
He actually liked being alone.
It was fine if there’s someone, as long as they did not interfere with one another.
But if it was like the Third Summit’s mystic realm, it would be very uncomfortable for him.
