148: Chapter 148: Is there any concrete way to express gratitude?

Jiang Lan's wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a moment, Jiang Lan suddenly sat up, spat out a mouthful of black blood, and woke up!

Jiang Lan glanced at the purple immortal figure before him and was stunned!

Gao Wanning was dressed in tight-fitting purple clothes,

which outlined her sexy, curvaceous figure.

Her beautiful face was completely flushed with shyness.

"Senior, you're awake?"

Jiang Lan didn't react immediately,

still staring blankly at the beauty in front of him.

"Senior? ...Senior, are you alright?"

Jiang Lan finally snapped out of it,

scratching his head.

"No... it's nothing,

Miss Gao is just too beautiful; I was momentarily entranced."

Gao Wanning's face turned red all the way to the back of her neck,

and she let out a sudden giggle.

"I didn't expect Senior to be so bold and unreserved."

"Eh? Miss Gao, I remember your cultivation was at the [Foundation Establishment Realm Peak Great Perfection],

how did it drop to [Foundation Establishment Realm Level 6] now?"

"Senior was heavily injured and unconscious just now,

so in my desperation, I used the secret technique [Water Spirit Healing Dragon Art].

Although its healing effect is excellent,

it consumes the caster's cultivation,

which is why my cultivation level dropped slightly.

But it's alright, Senior,

I can just Cultivate back up on my own!"

"Take this!"

Jiang Lan took out three bottles of [supreme grade spirit gathering pill] and a [Top-Grade Spirit Stone] from his Storage Ring,

handing them to Gao Wanning.

The moment their hands touched,

both felt a jolt like an electric shock,

and Gao Wanning's already blushing cheeks grew even redder!

"Senior... is this for me?"

"I've already handed it to you, so of course it's for you!"

"[Ding! system prompt: Gao Wanning's Loyalty has increased by 30 points. Current Loyalty is 90 points (Once Loyalty reaches 100 points, a Hidden Item will be rewarded).]"

"[Ding! system prompt: Gao Wanning's Favorability has increased by 30 points. Current Favorability is 90 points (Once Favorability reaches 100 points, a Hidden Plot will be unlocked).]"

Holy crap!

Miss Gao's Loyalty and Favorability are both about to be unlocked!

I wonder what Miss Gao's Hidden Plot actually is?

In the memories of my previous life, once Favorability with a female Cultivator was maxed out,

one could do as he pleased with them...

A faint blush appeared on Jiang Lan's face,

as his mind filled with explosive scenarios involving Miss Gao.

Suddenly!

"Boss, you're awake?"

Boss Gao leaned over,

approaching with a simple-minded grin.

"The [Ten Thousand Medicine Sect] Sect Master is already waiting in the main hall,

what do you think..."

"Good! We went through all this trouble

just to have them help refine the antidote for Cherry Fall's [Nine Poisons Spirit Worm],

it's time to go talk business with them."

In the Main Peak Hall of the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect,

sitting on the main seat was a man so handsome it was lethal,

a Silver-haired Cultivator showing off sixteen-pack abs.

Behind the Silver-haired Cultivator stood three figures, two men and one woman.

That's right!

It was Jiang Lan and the Gao Family Three Siblings.

Beside the main seat sat a shriveled old man,

full of Death Qi with white hair and beard.

This old man was the [Ten Thousand Medicine Sect] Sect Master, [Yun Baizhou].

Behind [Yun Baizhou] stood two figures, a man and a woman.

The man had graying hair but was full of vitality;

he was [Old Chinese Medicine Doctor], who had been obsessively searching for Jiang Lan.

The young woman beside [Old Chinese Medicine Doctor] wore a red qipao and had a face like a flower.

Her twin Peaks stood tall on her chest,

her buttocks were slightly upturned,

and she showed off legs that seemed longer than life itself.

She even emitted a faint medicinal fragrance,

looking incredibly beautiful and sexy.

Jiang Lan couldn't help but steal a few more glances.

'Eh? Why does that gray-haired old man behind [Yun Baizhou] look so familiar?

It feels like I've seen him somewhere.'

While Jiang Lan was wondering,

"Thank you, Shu Mountain Young Hero, for saving my [Ten Thousand Medicine Sect].

All three hundred plus Cultivators of the [Ten Thousand Medicine Sect]

will be grateful for your life-saving grace!

May I ask for your honorable name, Young Hero?"

"Don't give me that useless talk.

Is there a more substantial way to say thanks?"

[Yun Baizhou] was stunned, momentarily unsure what this silver-haired youth meant by a "substantial" way to say thanks.

"Like this."

Jiang Lan rubbed his thumb and index finger together,

giving [Yun Baizhou] a "you know what I mean" look with a raised eyebrow.

[Yun Baizhou], who was already confused, became even more bewildered.

Boss Gao couldn't sit still anymore.

"You're over 600 years old and you don't understand this?

To put it bluntly, it's Spirit Stones, Medicinal Pills, Talismanic Incantations, Magic Treasures—whatever is valuable, bring it out.

That is a substantial way to say thanks!"

Jiang Lan coughed twice, clearing his throat.

[Yun Baizhou] had a look of sudden realization.

"Oh, look at me, I'm truly getting senile.

I won't hide it from you, Young Hero, my [Ten Thousand Medicine Sect] has plenty of Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills.

Men, bring in three million Spirit Stones and a thousand bottles of Medicinal Pills!"

Before long, dozens of [Ten Thousand Medicine Sect] Disciples

carried in piles of Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills as large as small mountains,

placing them in the hall.

The Gao Family Three Siblings immediately rushed forward and began frantically shoveling them into their Spirit Storage Bags!

Jiang Lan looked at these three with a face full of disdain.

'Seriously, no class at all. Have you three never seen money before?'

[Yun Baizhou] and his two companions watched the Gao siblings with expressions as if they'd seen a ghost,

momentarily doubting if these three were from Shu Mountain or were actually bandits.

[Yun Baizhou] looked at Jiang Lan and nodded slightly.

'This Silver-haired Cultivator is still the more refined one.'

Jiang Lan's mouth twitched slightly,

the veins on his forehead bulging;

he had clearly reached his limit!

Boss Gao was shoveling money into his Spirit Storage Bag with a look of pure ecstasy.

The next second, Jiang Lan jumped up with a roundhouse kick,

sending Boss Gao flying head-first into one of the hall's pillars.

"You're packing that money so wretchedly!

Have you never seen money before?

Honestly!"

Jiang Lan snorted coldly,

then, together with Little Ice Fox,

lowered his head and began frantically amassing the wealth.

His speed of collecting the loot was actually three times faster than Boss Gao's!

This scene completely dumbfounded [Yun Baizhou] and the others.

After a full incense stick's time,

Jiang Lan looked at the hall, where even the floorboards had been scraped raw,

and smiled awkwardly at the dazed [Yun Baizhou].

"My name is Jiang Lan,

the ninth Personal Disciple of the Shushan Old Ancestor Yuhengzi,

Daoist Name Virtuous Cloud Child."

As soon as these words were spoken, [Yun Baizhou] and the other two were stunned.

This Young Master in front of them was actually Jiang Lan?

Wasn't this the man [Old Chinese Medicine Doctor] was so desperately looking for?

So he really existed!

[Yun Miaomiao] felt a surge of jealousy.

With a look of charming anger, she shot Jiang Lan a glare

and snorted coldly.

"Jiang Lan..."

"I thought just now"

"that it looked like you, but I didn't dare recognize you."

"I didn't expect it to really be you!"

On [Old Chinese Medicine Doctor]'s wrinkled old face,

there was nothing but pure joy as he stumbled over to Jiang Lan,

excitedly pointing at his own face.

"Me! [Old Chinese Medicine Doctor] from the [Xuanhu Pavilion] Chinese Medicine Clinic!"

Jiang Lan had felt the old man looked familiar,

and now he finally remembered.

This old man was that perverted gay guy who wanted to sodomize him!

Jiang Lan spat out the tea he had just sipped,

nearly choking to death on the spot!
