Chapter 152 - Seclusion

“Junior Brother, try not to appear in the forest at night in the next year or two. Many things might happen in this forest in the next year or two.”

Ji Qiu kindly reminded Jiang Lan.

At this moment, they were already in the Ninth Summit.

Jiang Lan stood safely on the peak of the Ninth Summit.

From the beginning to the end, the other party did not make a move on him.

They were really escorting him back.

They also met some unknown people on the way, but Ji Qiu only cast them a glance before bringing him to the Ninth Summit.

“Many thanks for Senior Brother’s reminder,” Jiang Lan said in a low voice.

“It’s my duty. Since you’re here, I’ll be returning to my team.”

“Senior Brother, be careful.”

“Thank you, Junior Brother.”

Ji Qiu did not stay any longer. He went straight into the forest and disappeared at an extremely fast speed.

Jiang Lan watched as the other party left and disappeared without a trace.

Then, he turned and walked towards the Ninth Summit.

He had been waiting for the other party to return.

But…

He didn’t return.

Back in the yard, he began to think about what had happened tonight.

He had met three people.

The first two were being pursued. It looked like they were trying to escape Kunlun.

That Senior Sister he had met previously was also being chased, wishing to grab onto him before she died.

So, these three people were being pursued by the group led by Bei Fang?

“They have previously mentioned a list.”

“I wasn’t on the list, so they didn’t attack me. Instead, they waited for Senior Brother Bei Fang to confirm my identity.”

“As my identity was fine, I was sent back safe and sound.”

“Therefore, these people are indeed from Kunlun. And with their strength, even if they are not personal disciples, they are still exceptional disciples.”

“These people are well-trained and is definitely not team that has just been formed.”

Jiang Lan looked at the peak of the Ninth Summit and decided to go up to ask.

At least he would be clearer of the situation.

He then walked to the peak of the Ninth Summit

“Bei Fang from the Second Summit?” Mo Zhengdong looked at Jiang Lan and said softly.

“There is indeed such a person.”

“Disciple met them on the way back.” Jiang Lan roughly explained what he had experienced.

Naturally, he would not mention the two people he met at the beginning.

He had killed those two people.

“It’s not the right time yet. You’ll understand when your cultivation base is a little stronger,” Mo Zhengdong said softly.

Jiang Lan nodded in understanding.

Even though he was currently at the mid-stage Void Refinement Realm.

However, his aura was only at the early-stage Essence Soul Realm.

Although as an early-stage Essence Soul cultivator, he was already considered to be pretty powerful.

But he was still too far away from immortality.

“How is your relationship with the Goddess currently?” Mo Zhengdong suddenly asked.

The moment this question was asked, Jiang Lan subconsciously recalled Senior Sister Ao’s appearance when she had left.

She didn’t seem to be repulsed by the fact that they were engaged.

“It’s fine,” Jiang Lan replied softly.

“What if the Goddess comes to see you often?” Mo Zhengdong asked with a smile.

“Master, I want to cultivate.”

“To become an immortal as soon as possible?”

“…”

There was a hidden meaning in his master’s words.

“Here, this is for you.” Mo Zhengdong didn’t make things difficult for Jiang Lan. Instead, he handed him a bottle of wine.

Jiang Lan was confused as well.

He didn’t drink.

“An engagement gift. Are you unhappy about your engagement with the goddess?” Mo Zhengdong asked with a smile.

Jiang Lan took the bottle.

Was he happy?

Perhaps after understanding Senior Sister Ao, he would be.

At the very least, he was not unhappy at all.

Huh?

After trying to smell the wine, he was a little surprised.

He had drunk this wine before.

“Bejeweled Nectar Wine,” Mo Zhengdong explained.

“Don’t drink this wine recklessly. Only drink it when you are breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm. Drinking this wine will definitely allow you to break through the threshold.

It’s rather precious.”

His chance had been stolen.

Jiang Lan also wanted to go out for a while and give his Bejeweled Nectar Wine to his master after he found a reasonable reason.

He did not expect his master to give it to him first.

However, he had yet to perfect his Essence Soul, so why did his master want to gift this wine to him so early?

Did his master want him to cultivate to the Void Refinement Realm in the Ninth Summit before he left the summit?

Jiang Lan had some guesses, but he still thanked him first.

After that, Jiang Lan left the peak of the Ninth Summit.

Not long after Jiang Lan left, Miao Yue landed on Mo Zhengdong’s side.

“Senior Brother, do you think I have done something unnecessary?”

“No.” Mo Zhengdong shook his head.

“In fact, this is really unnecessary.” Miao Yue looked down the mountain and said.

“This disciple of yours is really smart. Even if we don’t do anything, he will still cultivate in the Ninth Summit in peace.

Let’s wait until there’s less wind outside before going out. ”

“Jiang Lan knew what he was doing from the beginning,” Mo Zhengdong said softly.

He knew Jiang Lan’s limits. It was natural for one to seek good fortune and avoid calamity.

“Ten years of lectures will definitely reduce his popularity. The subsequent effects won’t be too great.

According to Senior Brother’s request, I have already suppressed the impact to the minimum.

I will need Senior Brother to make an occasional trip to give some lectures later.” Miao Yue said.

“Okay.” Mo Zhengdong nodded.

He would not reject such a small matter.

He would not be stingy with what he could do for his disciple.

After all, this was the disciple he was most proud of.

Jiang Lan was his pride.

“Jiang Lan becoming an immortal is a huge problem, what does Senior Brother plan to do?” Miao Yue looked at Mo Zhengdong and asked curiously.

After a moment of silence, Mo Zhengdong said calmly.

“I shall guide him as per normal.”

Miao Yue did not say anything and vanished from the spot.

…

After returning to the Netherworld Cave, Jiang Lan decided to finish up the alarm array formation first before going into seclusion.

The water in Kunlun was somewhat deep, and he couldn’t see through it.

Fortunately, the Ninth Summit was much simpler.

He didn’t know much about the situation on the other summits, as well as Kunlun in general.

Strength was an obstacle.

Perhaps early-stage Essence Soul cultivators were existences that new disciples looked up to, but to his master, they were nothing.

An Essence Soul cultivator was no different from a child in his master’s eyes.

After all, among the personal disciples of the various summits, there were many who achieved immortality.

Especially the disciples from the Second Summit.

All of them were very strong.

It was only a matter of time before they became immortals.

“An ordinary prodigy would require around three hundred years to reach the Void Refinement Realm. I have to conceal my cultivation base so I shall set it as three hundred and fifty years.

I still have two hundred years before I appear as a Void Refinement cultivator.”

“With my current speed, I should be able to reach the perfected Void Refinement Realm in sixty to seventy years.”

“It’s been two hundred years since I entered the sect. I should have no problem going down the mountain to train.”

In sixty to seventy years, he would be able to advance to the perfected Void Refinement Realm, and he could also disappear without a trace from Kunlun.

The impact of the engagement should not be much.

Furthermore, a new generation of disciples was coming.

The new people would replace the old.

Those who were active outside were mostly new disciples.

Therefore, not many people would know him.

Therefore, he would not be noticed, nor would any unnecessary trouble be brought to him.

After that, Jiang Lan started to perfect the array formations in the Ninth Summit.

He spent three months perfecting the array formations.

He also replenished the other trap array formations.

His attainments in array formations weren’t high enough, but as his attainments deepened, he could continuously modify the formations and replace the modules.

This was a model that was constructed from the beginning.

After doing all this, Jiang Lan began to cultivate.

Time was like flowing water to him. Even though he couldn’t grasp it, he could use it to its fullest.

In just a year’s time, his cultivation had improved quite a bit.

On this day, when he went out to clean up, he suddenly saw a bead in the main square.
