37: Chapter 37 What kind of egg is this?

Jiang Lan dared not think any further; there were too many zeros, it was an eyesore!

"Cackle..."

Jiang Lan's face was filled with wild joy, the corners of his mouth curled upwards, revealing a mouthful of ghastly white teeth!

"Eh? Little Ice Fox, what are you pulling me for?"

Jiang Lan turned to leave, but the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox suddenly bit his trouser leg and walked towards the base of the wall inside the Spirit Medicine Immortal Trace Secret Room.

"Damn it!? Could there also be an Opportunity inside this wall?"

Jiang Lan unleashed a Thousand Ton Rock Fist, blasting away a hundred feet of mountain rock, and slammed it fiercely against the wall!

Boom!

The sound of ancient stone shattering rang out abruptly, and the sound waves generated by the impact swept up dust and sand, rising into the sky, rippling throughout the entire secret room like water waves!

"Damn it!? There's actually another secret room!"

Behind the wall was actually another secret room, but it had clearly already been destroyed; the entire room had collapsed and was buried.

The Nine-Tailed Ice Fox used its small paws to dig downwards in one direction amidst the ruins, constantly scraping away soil.

It seemed the Little Ice Fox had definitely discovered some Opportunity. Jiang Lan's Profound Rock Sacred Body Art began to circulate crazily within his body! His two palms instantly turned into rock, and with the force of a thousand tons, he began digging fiercely into the ruins.

Two joss sticks of time later!

A golden egg radiating a golden-yellow halo was exposed. The golden egg was the size of a bucket and had nine blood-colored veins on it.

Damn it!

What kind of egg is this?

There is an intuition between Divine Beasts. The Nine-Tailed Ice Fox is a Divine Beast itself, and if it could sense this egg in the secret room, this egg is most likely also a Divine Beast!

Jiang Lan stored the egg into the Small World of his immortal ring, planning to study it later!

He had to go back quickly now; if he left for too long, the Gao Family Three Siblings would surely become suspicious. If they found out, he would definitely have to let them take half of the ten thousand year spirit fruit.

Jiang Lan took out two Low Grade Detonation Talismans and threw them into the secret room.

These two Detonation Talismans were pulled on the first day the server opened, during his 2,000-draw guarantee for a Divine Artifact; he had pulled over fifty of them in total.

Jiang Lan had just returned to the surface when, boom!

The Detonation Talismans were detonated, blowing the secret room to smithereens and burying it completely under the ruins.

With the experience from his previous life, Jiang Lan knew well the sinister nature of the Cultivation World; it could be said that there were almost no good people!

In doing anything, one must be cautious and careful; one cannot trust anyone!

Therefore, Jiang Lan used the Detonation Talismans to destroy the secret room, cleaned up the surrounding traces, and checked several times before he finally felt at ease.

"Cackle... Not bad! This time I've made a fortune! Little Ice Fox, let's go back... Damn it!? Why is there an Old Man here!?"

Jiang Lan was just preparing to return to the Immortal Cave with the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox when he was suddenly blocked by an Old Man with white hair and beard, exuding a faint medicinal fragrance!

When did this Old Man come?

Why hadn't he noticed him at all?

They had just emptied the secret room of its ancient spirit plants; he wouldn't have seen everything, would he?

A series of questions left Jiang Lan completely stunned!

Eh? Why is this Old Man's face a bit swollen?

"Young man, you want to pat your butt and leave after hitting someone?"

"Old Man, don't you go making false accusations! When did I hit you?"

Jiang Lan had already gripped the Northern Underworld Immortal Sword by this time; if the Old Man made any attacking movements, he would immediately draw his sword and split the Old Man in front of him in two!

"Look, you slapped my left face until it's swollen! I was just watching you come over, preparing to exchange the secret code with you! You brat, instead, without saying a word, you jumped up and gave me, your father, a big slap!"

"Damn it? You wouldn't happen to be that tree, would you?"

"Hmm~ You brat aren't too stupid! I have been guarding the secret room for twenty thousand years. You brat came up and emptied the secret room; I have nothing to do now, what do you say we should do?"

This is an attempt to extort me!

This Old Man looks honest, but I didn't expect him to be so treacherous inside!

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan suddenly put force into his steps, and under the 1000% speed bonus of the Myriad Mile Boots, he transformed into a white light shadow, "Whoosh!" and disappeared from the Old Man with white hair and beard's field of vision.

One joss stick of time later.

"Finally shook him off! This Old Man is truly treacherous! He actually wanted to share our ten thousand year spirit fruit!"

"Gulu! Gulu!"

The Little Ice Fox was on Jiang Lan's shoulder, rubbing its fluffy little head against Jiang Lan's cheek, responding excitedly twice!

Suddenly!

Jiang Lan's pupils trembled violently, and he wore an expression like he had seen a ghost. His two feet, like rakes, plowed two trenches several dozen feet long into the ground before he came to a stop!

The reason was simple: the Old Man with white hair and beard, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance, had appeared again, blocking his path back!

Something is wrong!

This Old Man clearly has not a shred of Cultivate? How can he run faster than me?

There are two situations when one cannot see the other party's Cultivate: the first is that the other party truly has no Cultivate. The second is that the other party's Cultivate is far higher than one's own, and one cannot see through the other's Cultivate!

Now it seems, this Old Man is highly likely the latter, with Cultivate far higher than his own!

"Hiss~"

Jiang Lan drew a cold breath; he had encountered a tough nut to crack this time!

"You smashed my rice bowl and want to just walk away?"

"Old Man, what do you want!"

"I have lived for twenty thousand years; I don't know how to do anything else, only how to guard some flowers and plants. How about this: you smashed my rice bowl, so you find me a job to do. That's fair, right?"

"Oh? Then Old Man, what do you mean?"

"Didn't you move all the ancient spirit plants from the secret room into your ring? Put me in there too; I can help you take care of those flowers and plants, and I don't want any wages! This way, I can continue to do my previous work, and you gain a helper without having to pay, how about that?"

Jiang Lan naturally didn't believe a word the Old Man said. You help me work, and you don't want money—where in the world is there such a good deal?

Suddenly!

"Ding! system prompt: Ten Thousand Year Tree Spirit initiates a master-recognition request. Please choose:"

[☞ Obtain 280,000 yuan, permanently bind Ten Thousand Year Tree Spirit, does not drop upon death, Ten Thousand Year Tree Spirit can be advanced.]

[☞ Spend 3,880,000 yuan, do not bind.]

Damn it?

No way!

This Old Man is a guy who pays to work!

Wait, this permanent binding can actually earn 280,000? Is there such a good thing?

The System's wool is there to be sheared! I must teach this idiot game designer a lesson today!

Jiang Lan chose [Obtain 280,000 yuan, permanently bind Ten Thousand Year Tree Spirit, does not drop upon death, Ten Thousand Year Tree Spirit can be advanced.]

Ding!

Accompanied by a crisp metallic vibration sound, 280,000 appeared in Jiang Lan's account!

Jiang Lan quickly opened the Ten Thousand Year Tree Spirit's attribute panel and took a look.

Name: Ten Thousand Year Tree Spirit

Spiritual Root: Heavenly Wood Spiritual Root

Cultivation Realm: ???

Cultivation Technique: ???

Description: After the Ten Thousand Year Tree Spirit comprehended the Origin of Wood, it developed spiritual intelligence and embarked on the path of Cultivate.

"Hiss~"

This Old Man is a pervert!

I've only heard of Wood Spiritual Root; what the hell is this Heavenly Wood Spiritual Root!

"Young Lord, I shall go to work now! I have a single name, Chun; you can call me Old Chun in the future!"

The Old Man with white hair and beard suddenly put force into his feet, transformed into a white stream of light, and drilled into the Small World of the immortal ring on Jiang Lan's finger!

Creak! Creak...

Accompanied by the sudden sound of trees growing wildly, a giant tree several dozen feet tall rose from the ground in the Small World of the immortal ring at a speed visible to the naked eye.
