64: Why is this person so nagging? Isn't he very cool?

Jiang Ning’s thoughts were very simple!

“I don’t need you to tell me how to enter.”

“This Nascent Soul Cave Abode has already been unearthed.”

“After the first batch of people plunders it and takes the greatest Opportunity, the remaining scraps will be left for the Cultivators who didn’t enter the Immortal Cave this time.”

“For a long time, this place will become a ‘treasure hunting ground’ until it’s confirmed that no benefits can be found.”

“This Nascent Soul Cave Abode will also, like that desertified Sect ruin, completely disappear into the long river of history with the dust and sand.”

Jiang Ning still had plenty of time to study the statue; even if he knew he could enter now, he would wait until everyone from Xuanhuang Domain had left.

Otherwise, once discovered, he wouldn't be able to contend with those three Mid Golden Core Stage Cultivators.

Bargaining was impossible, and a Heart Demon oath? He laughed. He wouldn't give the Male Lead that chance.

And so...

Jiang Ning's demeanor in the ruins suddenly changed.

Finishing the mission objectives early felt great!

Shen Jinhuan tugged at Jiang Ning's clothes, asking, “Revered Master, don’t suddenly laugh and then get serious like that. I’m scared…”

Jiang Ning: “…” “Let’s go, to the medicinal field!”

Jiang Ning immediately sped up.

Anyway, the true Opportunity was in the small space within the statue. What was he rushing for?

The two of them had been heading this way all along and arrived quickly.

Upon landing...

There were already some people here.

The medicinal herbs in the field were quite common. Jiang Ning found a Loose Cultivator and asked. The other party initially didn’t want to bother with him, shaking his arm but couldn’t shake him off.

Upon closer inspection, he realized this was the Golden Core powerhouse who had dared to embarrass a Bixiao Sect Elder.

He immediately happily explained the situation.

It turned out that this area had already been harvested by the aristocratic families of Xuanhuang Domain; what remained were all the herbs they deemed worthless.

Jiang Ning glanced around, secretly thinking that their standards were indeed high. Many of these herbs were beneficial for Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

After some consideration...

Jiang Ning didn't take everything; he simply took the medicinal herbs the little girl needed from Qi Refinement Stage to Foundation Establishment Stage.

He left the rest for these Loose Cultivators, then took Shen Jinhuan and left.

The Loose Cultivators remaining there were stunned.

“Wait, you’re a Golden Core powerhouse. Aren’t you going to compete for Opportunities in your own circle? Is it appropriate to compete with us?”

Shen Jinhuan seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

“Revered Master?”

“Hmm?”

“How about you go check the Golden Core area? Is there any Opportunity suitable for you?”

“It’s fine.”

Jiang Ning smiled, “You’ve just entered Qi Refinement. It’s dangerous here. I’ll stay with you, Revered Master.”

Shen Jinhuan nodded.

The two then started walking towards the Library Pavilion.

They circled around, thoroughly searching for some benefits, leaving some behind.

As for the Male Lead, Gu Yanqing? He was anxious.

“Diga?”

“Diga?”

“The true Opportunity in this Small World isn’t the Nascent Soul Tribulation Pill or the Legacy, but the dao leaf of the Primordial Creation Tree, which allows Nascent Soul Cultivators to comprehend the Laws of the Great Dao!

Do not underestimate this dao leaf. If one can comprehend a Law of the Great Dao through it, they will be invincible in the same Realm!

It can even accelerate the cultivation speed in the Nascent Soul Realm, paving the way for the Deity Transformation Realm.

You know about the Deity Transformation Realm, right? It's when the Divine Soul and physical body separate, and one's spirit can roam a thousand miles to comprehend the Great Dao. The Deity Transformation Realm primarily cultivates the Divine Soul and the Laws of the Great Dao!”

“Are you really going to miss this Opportunity?”

“A Cultivator should be brave and strive for everything. Do you truly not want to advance further?”

Jiang Ning only felt annoyed.

The Male Lead, who was supposed to be aloof and taciturn in the novel, was such a chatterbox with him?

But the information in the Male Lead’s words was immense.

“The leaves of the Primordial Creation Tree… can one comprehend the Laws of Heaven and Earth’s Great Dao through them…”

Jiang Ning was startled inwardly.

No wonder the people from Xuanhuang Domain could share information about other Opportunities.

So, they were diverting attention; their real goal was the “dao leaf” that would benefit their own Nascent Soul Old Ancestors!

Jiang Ning pondered.

While the dao leaf was precious, it didn't seem *that* precious to Nascent Soul Cultivators.

If there truly were no “substitutes,” then those who came this time would have been the various Nascent Soul Old Ancestors, not Mid Golden Core Stage Cultivators.

“Although items that can help comprehend the Laws of Heaven and Earth’s Great Dao are rare, they are definitely not limited to just this dao leaf. Or rather, there are things better than the dao leaf.”

Time passed minute by minute.

Sounds of fighting and roaring often came.

Jiang Ning, like a fierce tiger in a flock of sheep, was the most at ease.

Elsewhere...

Yun Qingyao and the others had just experienced a major battle.

They were fighting over a high-grade third-rank Spiritual Artifact in the Library Pavilion. Although they sustained some injuries, the Bixiao Sect's strength was fortunately quite formidable.

Yun Qingyao enviously glanced at the middle-grade fourth-rank Spiritual Artifacts in the hands of the three Young Lords from Xuanhuang Domain, then retracted her gaze.

The Bixiao Sect was only strong in the Cang Ling Domain.

During the recent struggle, none of the forces from the Cang Ling Domain dared to compete with the people from Xuanhuang Domain, only watching as they took the three best Spiritual Artifacts.

At this moment, a Qi Refinement Stage Disciple from the Bixiao Sect ran over.

She leaned towards the Bixiao Sect group and whispered, “Young Sect Master, I’ve inquired. Shen Jinhuan was seen in the Library Pavilion just now, but unfortunately, Sixth Elder was always by her side.”

Yun Qingyao frowned.

“Isn’t Sixth Elder going to compete for the Nascent Soul Tribulation Pill?”

“Young Sect Master, a Sixth Elder who only accidentally achieved a Breakthrough to Golden Core wouldn’t dare to compete with veteran Golden Core powerhouses. He’s probably afraid of death!”

“Exactly. But this way, Young Sect Master, your plan will fall through.”

The Early Stage Foundation Establishment Disciples analyzed one by one.

Yun Qingyao had planned to hunt down a lone Shen Jinhuan during the scramble for Opportunities.

After thinking, Yun Qingyao told that Disciple, “You are only responsible for monitoring the movements of Sixth Elder and Shen Jinhuan. If Shen Jinhuan is alone, immediately crush the jade talisman.

We will kill Shen Jinhuan with swift and decisive action, then escape into the depths of the Immortal Cave and rendezvous with Fourth Elder.

I doubt Sixth Elder would dare to act presumptuously.”

“Understood!”

That Disciple took the order and left.

In a blink of an eye, three days passed.

Jiang Ning took Shen Jinhuan to play here and there, without any real business.

Gu Yanqing in the ring seemed to know he wouldn’t respond. After chattering for a day, he fell silent.

Several streaks of light rose in the distant sky.

Those were the Three Great Factions of Xuanhuang Domain.

These Three Great Factions left directly into the distance without any hesitation.

Jiang Ning was a little puzzled.

Seeing the Qin Family Old Ancestor, Jiang Ning hurried over and asked, “Senior, what happened in the main hall?”

The Qin Family Old Ancestor sighed.

“This time, our Cang Ling Domain didn’t gain any benefits at all.”

“In the main hall, there were only three Nascent Soul Tribulation Pills, all taken by the forces from Xuanhuang Domain. Furthermore, there was no Legacy of Dan Shuzi in this main hall.”

The Zhao Family Old Ancestor also flew over and, at this point, he chuckled, “This is good too. The disparity isn’t too great. If all the benefits were taken by outsiders, how embarrassing would that be for the Cang Ling Domain?”

Jiang Ning thought to himself, no wonder the faces of the three families from Xuanhuang Domain were all cold, and even Su Rao, who usually smiled, became very impatient.

They spent effort to get the Immortal Cave key, only to come here and get things they could have obtained within their own factions.

It would be strange if they weren’t angry.

Looking into the distance, Jiang Ning saw a long spear flying from afar, directly smashing onto the entrance statue.

Boom—

The statue shattered, and the long spear quickly flew back towards its “Revered Master” in the distance.

“Oh my goodness…” Jiang Ning’s heart skipped a beat.

Seeing no abnormality at the statue, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn’t want something he was about to get to be taken by someone else.

Fortunately, it was a false alarm.

But to leave and still turn back to smash Dan Shuzi’s statue showed how deep their resentment was!

Jiang Ning bid farewell to the two Old Ancestors of the Qin Family and Zhao Family.

He now had important business to attend to.
