42: Chapter 42 This old man is clearly a big liar!

He wanted to swallow up more than forty loot bags.

But Boss Gao was right; after all, they were the ones who actually took the heads.

Furthermore, in this battle, the three siblings had truly emptied their savings, using over two hundred fire explosion talismans and thunder explosion talismans!

"Fine! Little Ice Fox and I will take twenty loot bags! Little Ice Fox, get to work!"

"Gulu~ gulu gu~"

The four people and one fox wandered across the battlefield.

Before long, the battlefield was as clean as if a dog had licked it; other than the sixty-plus corpses, nothing remained!

Deep within the mountains of the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm, inside a newly excavated secret chamber, Little Ice Fox was curled up in Jiang Lan's arms, fast asleep.

It seemed this battle had truly exhausted the little guy.

Jiang Lan activated the Concealment Formation of the immortal ring and then turned on the Supreme Spirit Gathering Formation, beginning to take stock of the spoils from the battle with the Hehuan Sect!

To be honest, the loot bags of the twenty Hehuan Sect Disciples were not worth much.

In total, there were only over 800 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, over 40 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and a dozen bottles of low-grade Qi Gathering pills and healing medicine.

There was also a pile of obscene items!

Jiang Lan's face turned red all the way to the back of his neck just looking at them; what's more, they even had a smell.

It really opened Jiang Lan's eyes!

The main prize this time was Hua Wudao's loot bag.

First was a jade tablet with the character "Teleport" engraved on it.

One had to admit that the Hehuan Sect was truly Heaven-Defying.

Even with the entrance to the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm closed, they could still forcibly teleport someone out, though it was unknown where they would be sent.

If, by chance, he was teleported right in front of Ancestor Hehuan and found himself face-to-face with her, it would be quite awkward.

At the very least, she would skin Jiang Lan alive and make a human lamp out of him!

Jiang Lan continued digging and pulled out a copy of the "Hehuan Immortal Technique"!

Jiang Lan had experienced firsthand just how twisted this Cultivation Technique was.

Jiang Lan flipped open the "Hehuan Immortal Technique." After reading for only a moment, his face flushed, and his breathing quickened!

Wasn't this clearly even more explosive than "The Plum in the Golden Vase"?

This Cultivation Technique was truly powerful, but Jiang Lan would not Cultivate it.

It was mainly a method of harvesting Yin to nourish Yang; it was too sinister!

He would use the void cauldron to reinforce it later and see if he could turn it into a Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique; after all, having many skills never hurts.

Jiang Lan continued flipping through.

Hua Wudao actually had three Great Golden Core Talismanic Incantations and two Great Nascent Soul Talismanic Incantations!

Moreover, they could basically be activated in two breaths, which could almost be considered instant casting!

Seeing this, cold sweat instantly broke out on Jiang Lan's back.

If he hadn't chased the Hehuan Twin Fiends and kept hacking at them, he would definitely have been dead for sure!

Any one of Hua Wudao's talismans could have insta-killed him!

The Hehuan Twin Fiends were careless in the end; if they had just thrown these talismans out at the start, Jiang Lan would have been GG'd immediately.

Besides these, Hua Wudao's bag also contained five High-Grade Spirit Stones and twenty Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

Most Heaven-Defying of all, there were three High Grade foundation establishment pills!

A single one of these things could sell for at least 2 million RMB, and Hua Wudao actually had three!

He was truly rich!

Jiang Lan now had three more Great Golden Core Talismanic Incantations and two Nascent Soul Talismanic Incantations as trump cards, and they were basically all instant-cast.

He finally felt much more at ease!

Jiang Lan took out a low-grade wood-element Cultivation Technique, "Withered Wood Art."

He had drawn this technique on the day the server opened, during his 2000-draw pity pull for an Immortal Artifact.

The little guy had already woken up by now, stretched, yawned, and contentedly rubbed its head against Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan extended his Divine Thought and took Little Ice Fox into the Small World of the immortal ring.

The Small World of the immortal ring was filled with towering trees and sweet, beautiful flowers; it had practically turned into a fairyland.

One had to admit that the Ten Thousand Year Tree Spirit, Old Chun, was truly formidable!

After being inside for just one day, the Small World was full of vitality everywhere; Jiang Lan almost didn't recognize it.

In the center of the Small World, a bronze-colored cauldron hung in mid-air.

This cauldron was none other than Jiang Lan's life-bound Immortal Artifact, the void cauldron!

Jiang Lan placed the "Withered Wood Art" into the void cauldron and began reinforcing it.

During the battle with the Hehuan Twin Fiends, the disadvantage of Jiang Lan having few Cultivation Techniques became apparent.

The advantage of his Five Spirit Roots couldn't be utilized at all!

Jiang Lan had simply been using his Five Spirit Roots as if they were a single Earth Spiritual Root.

Although he had finally swallowed a supreme grade qi gathering pill and, wielding the "Beiming" Immortal Sword, chased Hua Wudao for over eight thousand miles and hacked him to death, Jiang Lan's five Dantians had nearly been burst by Spiritual Qi several times!

This fighting style was too risky; in the future, he would have to rely on normal Cultivation Techniques to fight.

Now, Jiang Lan already possessed the Heaven Rank earth-element Cultivation Technique "Mysterious Rock Sacred Body Art," as well as a top-grade Qi Refining equipment, the fire dragon armor.

After thinking it over, Jiang Lan ultimately chose the wood-element Cultivation Technique from the remaining water, wood, and gold options.

The reason was simple: the greatest characteristic of wood-element Cultivation Techniques was that they were quite comprehensive; one could say that wood-element Cultivation Techniques were a jack-of-all-trades.

They could attack, defend, control, and even heal!

This was perfect for dealing with the currently complex situation in the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm.

The man and the fox were standing by the void cauldron, waiting for the results of the "Withered Wood Art" reinforcement.

Suddenly!

"Young Lord! This ten thousand year spirit fruit has just ripened and is ready for consumption.

If you don't eat it now, the medicinal efficacy will start to diminish!"

The white-haired and white-bearded Ten Thousand Year Tree Spirit, Old Chun, held a ten thousand year spirit fruit in his hands and handed it to Jiang Lan.

This spirit fruit was the very one that the Giant Strength Immortal Ape had grafted onto the ancient spirit plant.

Because the Giant Strength Immortal Ape's grafting technique was truly terrible, this ten thousand year spirit fruit could not continue to grow on the ancient spirit plant after ripening.

If Old Chun hadn't mentioned it, Jiang Lan would have almost forgotten about this matter entirely.

Seeing the ten thousand year spirit fruit, Little Ice Fox's eyes went straight, and drool flowed directly from its mouth!

Jiang Lan placed the ten thousand year spirit fruit by Little Ice Fox's mouth.

"Gulu~ gulu~"

The little guy hopped and jumped with excitement, obediently rubbing its snowy white little head against Jiang Lan, then swallowed the ten thousand year spirit fruit in one gulp and began to chew, its face full of enjoyment!

Jiang Lan had finally figured it out: this little guy was clearly a total foodie!

After the little guy finished eating the ten thousand year spirit fruit, its belly was bulging, and it let out a burp!

Jiang Lan opened the little guy's attribute panel to take a look!

"Whoa! Not bad!"

[Satiety] 20000 / 20000.

It seemed the little guy was truly full!

One had to admit that Old Chun was truly capable.

After being in the Small World of the immortal ring for only half a day, the previously lifeless Small World had actually turned into a fairyland!

Moreover, Old Chun understood medicinal properties, was attentive, and knew how to manage herbs.

Jiang Lan even felt a little fond of this Old Man in his heart.

"Young Lord, this Supreme Spirit Gathering Formation has already consumed half of its Spiritual Qi.

Remember to replace those thirty Top-Grade Spirit Stones tomorrow, okay!"

Hearing this, Jiang Lan went numb all over; he finally realized something was wrong!

Under normal circumstances, the Supreme Spirit Gathering Formation should last at least two months.

After this Old Man came in, it had used up half in just half a day!

Jiang Lan finally understood!

This Old Man was clearly a big swindler!
