At the beginning, I cleaned the Sutra Library and completed the incomplete skills.

Elder Jian Chen nodded slightly.

Tie Niu had experienced many things in the past three years.

His ambition and edges had long been worn away.

He was no longer as confident and proud as Li Lan had seen him when he was still a mortal.

He hurriedly bowed respectfully to Liu Yan and the other man in return.

“Master, what brings you here?”

After exchanging greetings, Li Lan asked the question he was most curious about.

“Those who are going to Jiuhua County City this time are all the best of the younger generation of my Guangji Temple.”

“The elders were afraid that something unexpected might happen on the way, so after discussion, they asked Master to be the guide for this trip.”

Tie Niu explained to Elder Jian Chen.

So that's how it is.

Li Lan gradually understood in his heart.

He had been wondering before how the elders could be so relieved to let their descendants with such low cultivation levels go out to explore.

Weren't they afraid that something unexpected would happen and they would all be wiped out?

Now he finally understood.

It turned out that there was a strong Foundation Establishment stage cultivator leading the team.

Only then did Li Lan's tense heart relax a little.

With a Foundation Establishment stage expert in charge, the safety of this trip would naturally be greatly improved.

“Junior Brother Li, what brings you here?”

After explaining the reason, Tie Niu immediately asked curiously.

To be fortunate enough to be here.

Either they were the direct descendants of the elders, or they were core disciples who were highly valued.

Even their senior brother A-Hua, who was at the second level of Qi Refining, didn't have this qualification.

Naturally, there was no need to mention Li Lan.

Tie Niu was very curious about this.

“I'm here because someone asked me to…”

Before Li Lan could finish speaking, a gentle laugh came from the side.

“Chen Feng greets Uncle-Master Jian Chen, Junior Brother Wang, and Junior Brother Liu.”

“Haha, it turns out that Uncle-Master Jian Chen is leading the team this time, what a coincidence.”

“Chen Feng just entrusted Junior Brother Li to travel together a few days ago, now all the cultivators from Sword Spirit Peak have arrived.”

Miao Chenfeng held a folding fan and respectfully made a Daoist salute.

Although the other party's words were polite, Li Lan heard a different meaning from them.

Could it be that this guy insisted on bringing me here because he already knew that Elder Jian Chen was leading the team and did it on purpose?

Li Lan secretly pondered the meaning behind it.

Time passed quickly.

After all the disciples had arrived, they boarded Elder Jian Chen's immortal ship together.

And headed towards Jiuhua County City.

The regional division of this immortal cultivation world is similar to the county system.

A county can be as small as hundreds of thousands of kilometers, or as large as tens of millions, the territory is vast.

All the large and small sects and forces within the county all follow the lead of the Human Emperor's Palace.

Every Human Emperor in history is held by the strongest person in the world.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Human Emperor's Palace.

Between the various righteous sects.

Although there are constant small frictions in private, they have always been at peace on the surface.

Once demonic cultivators are discovered, they are wiped out by the strongmen of the Human Emperor's Palace.

For thousands of years, they have never become a major force.

Guangji Temple is divided into the scope of Jiuhua County.

Jiuhua County City, where Li Lan and others are going this time.

Is the most prosperous place within a million kilometers.

Along the way.

These proud disciples of Guangji Temple were particularly excited.

Discussing various anecdotes about Jiuhua County City with each other.

Those at the second level of Qi Refining all raised their heads.

While showing off their cultivation level, they imparted so-called valuable cultivation experience to others.

Those with slightly inferior family backgrounds took this opportunity to expand their network and make friends.

The entire immortal ship hall was very lively.

Li Lan was a rare anomaly on the entire immortal ship.

He wasn't very curious about how prosperous Jiuhua County City was.

Nor was he interested in verbal communication at all.

His experiences as a mortal had long taught Li Lan a profound truth.

In this immortal cultivation world where the weak are prey to the strong, it's better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone else.

Therefore.

After Li Lan boarded the immortal ship.

He locked himself in the cabin and never took a step out.

He didn't waste a single bit of time.

After stabilizing his cultivation level at the second level of Qi Refining.

Li Lan absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, forgetting to eat and sleep.

Preparing to accumulate the third vortex of mana in his dantian, and preparing to break through to the third level of Qi Refining.

Li Lan's actions.

Made Miao Chenfeng, who was bored and wanted to chat with someone, feel quite speechless.

He often looked at the closed cabin door, and secretly sighed.

Did he hire a bodyguard or an ancestor?

I don't know how long it took.

This day.

Li Lan was wholeheartedly refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Suddenly, he felt a violent tremor throughout the cabin.

Not only did this vibration not stop, but it intensified.

He immediately realized that something was wrong.

Silently withdrew from the cultivation state, and raised his vigilance in his heart.

His right hand had quietly reached into the storage bag.

Immediately afterwards.

Li Lan seemed to hear the noise of a group of proud disciples outside suddenly stop.

What replaced it was a chaotic exclamation of anger.

His heart gradually sank.

Obviously, something happened outside!

Li Lan had no intention of going out to take a look at all.

He held his breath and concentrated, slowly retreating to the corner of the cabin.

Preparing to wait for this unknown danger to pass.

However, he didn't go looking for trouble, but trouble came to him first.

With a bang.

The cabin door was blasted open by an unknown spell.

Two masked cultivators in black looked at each other.

One of them didn't stop and went to search other cabins.

The other one touched it with one hand, and took out a magic weapon shaped like a helmet from the storage bag.

Stepped into the cabin.

“Who are you, gentlemen?”

“Do you know that this is the chariot of Elder Jian Chen of Guangji Temple?”

“No matter what your purpose is, if you know what's good for you, leave quickly.”

“Otherwise, if you really anger the Foundation Establishment stage expert, it will be too late to leave.”

Li Lan said in a deep voice, while glancing outside.

He felt a little puzzled in his heart, where did Elder Jian Chen, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, go?

How could he let these Qi Refining stage cultivators kill into the immortal ship?

“Haha, what about a Foundation Establishment stage expert?”

“It can't stop this grandpa from taking your little life!”

As soon as the masked cultivator's voice fell, the helmet in his hand spun around.

As the rotation speed became faster and faster, the “woo woo” whistling sound became like the wailing of evil ghosts.

A faint bloody smell came from the air.

Without waiting for Li Lan to probe for more information.

The masked cultivator took the lead.

He waved it violently.

The rotating helmet magic weapon drew a residual image and covered Li Lan's head.

Li Lan had already prepared himself when the other party hadn't broken the door.

He silently recited the magic formula in his mouth and raised his hand to throw out a white afterimage.

The two magic weapons collided in an instant.

Accompanied by a low hum.

The rotation speed of the helmet-shaped magic weapon suddenly stopped.

An invisible wave of spiritual power spread around.

“Ugh!”

The masked cultivator felt as if he had been hit by a mallet, and his chest was extremely dull.

A trace of fishy sweetness surged up his throat and was swallowed by him forcibly.

After a slight relief.

The masked cultivator's only exposed eyes no longer had the previous frivolousness.

What replaced it was surprise and solemnity.
