24: Chapter 24 This is hardly an "easy target"!

The warm, fresh blood condensed into individual blood orbs!

Like children playing in the countryside, the blood orbs hopped and skipped as they flew toward the blood-colored sacred orb above the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm!

The scene was extremely eerie!

The Cultivators who were originally flying toward Jiang Lan, intending to crush this "pushover," all came to an abrupt halt as if under a Time Stop, raising their eyes in astonishment to look at the eerie scene in the sky!

The next second!

The Cultivators who had been flying toward Jiang Lan suddenly, as if by tacit agreement, fled desperately in the opposite direction!

The reason was simple: they saw the blood-colored number above Jiang Lan's head had changed to "57"!

In other words, Jiang Lan had killed fifty-seven Cultivators in just a few breaths of time!

No one was stupid; could a "pushover" kill fifty-seven Cultivators in just a few breaths?

Even the top Prodigies in the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm had only killed three or four Cultivators so far.

How was this a "pushover"? He was clearly a devil!

In an instant, there wasn't a single Cultivator left within a two-hundred-mile radius of Jiang Lan!

Humans are such strange creatures; bullying the weak and fearing the strong seems to be a nature engraved in their genes!

But Jiang Lan knew clearly in his heart that the reason he was able to kill so many Cultivators in just a few breaths was, honestly, due to luck!

If the white-robed scholar wasn't a Body Cultivator, if White Leaf Sky hadn't loved his son so much, or if Sun Qichao hadn't brought everyone from the Chaotian Sect with him, he would have definitely died!

Honestly, Jiang Lan wasn't sure if he could make it out of the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm alive.

At least for now, it seemed extremely difficult!

The most important thing now was to immediately increase his cultivation and boost his survival rate in the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm!

Jiang Lan set up the Supreme Spirit Gathering Formation disk on the spot.

Clang! Clang! Clang! ...

Accompanied by the crisp sound of metal interlocking, the Supreme Spirit Gathering Formation slowly began to operate!

Spiritual Qi with 500 times the concentration gushed out, transforming into hundred-zhang-long Spiritual Dragons that soared into the sky and smashed fiercely toward the center of Jiang Lan's eyebrows!

A sensation of comfort, similar to an orgasm, spread rapidly through Jiang Lan's body like ink dripping into the center of a lake.

Jiang Lan's cultivation experience was jumping at a speed visible to the naked eye! Jiang Lan loved this feeling of becoming stronger without having to put in any effort!

Pop!

Jiang Lan pulled out the stopper, opened the Medicinal Pill bottle, poured out a supreme grade spirit gathering pill, and swallowed it!

The supreme grade spirit gathering pill dissolved in his body, and Spiritual Qi with ten thousand times the concentration suddenly exploded inside him. Thousand-zhang-long Spiritual Dragons roared as they soared into the sky and smashed fiercely against the Meridians throughout Jiang Lan's body!

Jiang Lan felt as if ten thousand red-hot needles were being ruthlessly stabbed into every cell of his body, and then twisted hard!

The excruciating pain came from every cell in his body, traveling up his tailbone and straight to his crown!

After a few breaths, the thousand-zhang-long Spiritual Dragons inside Jiang Lan finally found the five main Meridians and rushed madly toward his five Dantians!

The pain in Jiang Lan's body subsided slightly, and his cultivation experience soared at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Boom!"

A muffled sound emanated from Jiang Lan's body!

Just one incense stick's time after taking the supreme grade qi gathering pill, Jiang Lan's cultivation had actually broken through to the sixth level of the Qi Refinement Stage!

Another incense stick's time passed before the medicinal effect of the supreme grade qi gathering pill finally began to fade.

Although his Five Spirit Roots combined with the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body required a tremendous amount of cultivation experience to level up, making his strength progression much harder than other Cultivators.

But looking at it now, if he kept consuming supreme grade qi gathering pills, he should be able to reach Foundation Establishment very soon!

Jiang Lan exerted force with his feet, turning into a streak of white light as he stepped into the Small World of the immortal ring!

Clang! Clang! Clang! ...

The crisp sound of metal collision suddenly rang out as Jiang Lan tossed all four pieces of equipment from Sun Qichao's body into the void cauldron for enhancement.

After an incense stick's time, all four pieces of equipment were enhanced into brand-new Qi Refining Stage Supreme Grade equipment!

Jiang Lan first leaned down to pick up the boots and held them in his hand to examine them.

Name: Ten Thousand Mile Cloud-Climbing Boots

Quality: Qi Refining Stage Supreme Grade

Characteristics: In combat state, increases movement speed by 500%. In non-combat state, increases movement speed by 2000%.

Holy crap!

These boots are Heaven-Defying!

Who needs a Flying Sword now?

2000% movement speed increase in non-combat state!?

Wouldn't running with that be faster than the full-speed flight of a Foundation Establishment Realm expert?

Jiang Lan was just worrying about not having a Flying Sword, and here came a supreme grade pair of boots!

What's even more perverted is the 500% movement speed increase in combat state!

Except for physical techniques, any other spell attack requires time from the moment the seal is cast until it hits the opponent!

A 500% increase in movement speed means it would be very difficult for enemy spells to hit you!

Jiang Lan lifted his leg and put the shoes on; the entire world instantly seemed to lose gravity in an eerie way, and Jiang Lan lightly pushed off the ground!

"Whoosh!"

Jiang Lan instantly turned into a streak of white light, leaving several afterimages in the void, and actually dashed over a hundred miles in an instant!

Holy crap!

This game is so fun, I want to pay more money to play!

Jiang Lan continued to look at the next enhanced piece of equipment.

Name: Heavenly Demon Spirit Helmet

Quality: Qi Refining Stage Supreme Grade

Characteristics: Increases own Spiritual Qi by 900%.

"Hiss~"

Jiang Lan sucked in a cold breath; this hat was simply too perverted!

Putting it on directly increases Spiritual Qi by nine times. If his Spiritual Qi is full, he could wield the Beiming immortal sword and strike nine times!

What a concept!

Even if he encountered a Foundation Establishment Realm 12th Level Great Perfection expert, if Jiang Lan chased them down and unleashed nine strikes, as long as one hit, the opponent would die on the spot—guaranteed!

Jiang Lan lowered his head slightly and put on the Heavenly Demon Spirit Helmet!

Bang! Bang! Bang! ...

Several muffled sounds burst out from inside Jiang Lan's body, and his five Dantians instantly grew nine times larger!

The 500 times concentration of Spiritual Qi from the Supreme Spirit Gathering Formation transformed into hundred-zhang-long dragons that soared into the sky, winding like snakes, and fiercely drilled into Jiang Lan's five Dantians; it took a full half incense stick's time to fill them up!

Jiang Lan continued to look at the next enhanced piece of equipment.

Name: fire dragon armor

Quality: Qi Refining Stage Supreme Grade

Characteristics: Infuse fire Spiritual Qi into the fire dragon armor to Summon Fire Dragon for protection; as long as the Spiritual Qi is not exhausted, the fire dragon will not extinguish!

To be honest, the enhanced fire dragon armor was quite supreme! It just consumed a bit too much fire spiritual power!

Theoretically, as long as the fire spiritual power is sufficiently abundant, the fire dragon will always protect the body!

Jiang Lan put on the fire dragon armor, and a warmth like a furnace, mixed with a feeling of comfort, instantly spread throughout his body!

The fire spiritual power Dantian inside Jiang Lan suddenly began to operate, and the fire spiritual power poured into the fire dragon armor like a babbling stream!

Roar!

A dragon's roar pierced the heavens, shaking people's eardrums until they trembled and ached faintly!

A hundred-zhang-long fire dragon soared into the sky, winding like a snake, and began to slowly circle around Jiang Lan!

The temperature around Jiang Lan rose abruptly, and the pungent smell like sulfur produced by the fire dragon's burning instantly permeated the air!

Holy crap!

Isn't this fire dragon too cool?

Jiang Lan's face was filled with astonishment, his mouth wide open, enough to fit an egg!

After a while, as Jiang Lan's fire spiritual power was exhausted, the hundred-zhang-long fire dragon let out a roar toward the sky, smashed fiercely into the fire dragon armor, and completely disappeared.

Jiang Lan gradually recovered from his shock, leaned down to pick up the last piece of enhanced equipment, and held it in his hand to examine it.

Name: shadowless sword

Quality: Qi Refining Stage Supreme Grade

Characteristics: Attack speed increased by 800%.

As the saying goes, under heaven, all martial arts can be broken, except for speed!

This sword is too Heaven-Defying; when an opponent strikes one sword, he can wield the shadowless sword to strike eight times!

It could be said that before the opponent even had time to strike, they would have already been sliced into several pieces by the shadowless sword!

This sword was something Jiang Lan intended to give to the Goddess Qian Luo. Qian Luo is a Sword Cultivator, and this sword, which increases attack speed by 8 times, is a perfect match for her!

Jiang Lan could now be said to be wearing supreme grade equipment from head to toe; all he was missing was a Cultivation Technique.

And as for a Cultivation Technique, Jiang Lan actually had one—it was the Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique, Profound Rock Sacred Body Art, which he had obtained by enhancing it with the void cauldron!
