235: My Lord, you are such a joke

After chatting with the young woman for another half an hour, Jiang Lan finally stood up and cupped his fists in salute to her.

“Thank you, Building Master, for your generous guidance.”

Just now, the two of them had discussed many things, and the young woman had held nothing back from him.

“It’s alright. Even if it wasn’t you who had a Breakthrough, but someone else, I would still tell him everything that needed to be said.”

“Still, thank you.”

Jiang Lan couldn’t possibly be ungrateful just because of a single sentence from the young woman.

It was a kindness for her to help; not helping was her prerogative.

Being able to obtain so much important information, Jiang Lan was already content.

Seeing Jiang Lan’s expression, the young woman smiled and continued:

“Given how well you speak, I, your elder sister, will give you a few more pointers.”

Jiang Lan slightly cupped his hands.

“I am all ears.”

“I advise you, it’s best not to harbor any intentions against other Soul Transformation cultivators, unless you possess the power to defeat all of us combined. Among Soul Transformation cultivators, it is absolutely forbidden to attack each other, no matter who it is. Once this rule is violated, you will be hunted down by all of us together.”

Jiang Lan’s eyes flashed.

There was such a rule?

But then again, within Chihong Province, Soul Transformation cultivators were the absolute Peak combat power.

Even one death was a great loss.

Not to mention, they were all good friends with each other.

Therefore, if there were no restraints between them, they might not be able to maintain harmonious relations indefinitely.

“Alright, I understand.”

Since the young woman had said so, Jiang Lan wasn’t insane, and naturally wouldn’t insist on continuing to kill anyone.

He had indeed wanted to kill the Kunpeng Demon Emperor before, but at that time, it was partly to obtain a Cultivation Technique, and partly to gain longevity.

But now, the Kunpeng Secret Realm would most likely perfectly satisfy both of his demands, so Jiang Lan naturally didn’t need to blindly rush forward.

Just then, the young woman continued:

“Also, Kunpeng already knows about the things you did in the Ten Thousand Demons Hall territory. He just didn’t want to conflict with you, which is why he didn’t come looking for you. If you meet him in the future, remember to apologize to him.”

Jiang Lan: “...”

Apologize to a demon?

To be honest, he didn’t think he had done anything wrong.

Although he had chatted with the young woman for such a long time, Jiang Lan still felt that there could be no peaceful coexistence between humans and demons.

And that was the truth.

Don’t look at the harmonious and auspicious scene between the human and demon higher-ups.

But at the lower levels, it was a world where demons ate people, and people ate demons.

It wasn’t so much that Jiang Lan didn’t want to unite with other Soul Transformation human cultivators, but rather that Jiang Lan still maintained the mindset of a normal human being.

As for the other human Soul Transformation cultivators, including the young woman, Jiang Lan felt that they had all detached from the most basic human nature.

This was not strange.

Standing too high, one would certainly not be able to empathize with those at the bottom.

Even Jiang Lan himself was the same.

Perhaps after thousands or tens of thousands of years, he too would come to share the young woman’s views.

However, he definitely did not now.

Future matters could be discussed in the future.

Seeing Jiang Lan remain silent, the young woman didn’t press him, but instead said:

“Your Breakthrough timing is quite opportune. Three years from now will be the time when the Bodhi Tree reappears. At that time, all of us will gather at the Bodhi Tree, and I will notify you then.”

Jiang Lan nodded.

“Thank you, I understand.”

Hearing Jiang Lan’s words, the young woman flicked her wrist lightly, and a stack of yellow Talismans immediately appeared in her hand.

“These are sound transmission Talismans, a small trinket. You only need to infuse True Qi into them to contact me.”

A look of understanding appeared in Jiang Lan’s eyes.

He had just been wondering how he would be able to contact other Soul Transformation cultivators, and how she would notify him at the time she had just mentioned.

It turned out to be sound transmission Talismans.

Although Jiang Lan didn’t know the principle behind these things, he had heard of them.

After all, in his previous life, he had read many novels and storybooks.

A sound transmission Talisman was like a simple telephone.

The young woman continued to explain.

“Sound transmission Talismans are divided into male and female. The ones in your hand can only contact me, not others. Keep them safe, lest I can’t find you when the time comes.”

Jiang Lan nodded again upon hearing this.

“I understand.”

“Alright, I’ve told you everything that needed to be said. Is there anything else?”

“No...”

Jiang Lan was about to say he was fine, but then he suddenly remembered something and asked:

“By the way, are there any Cultivation Techniques here that are more suitable for people with lower cultivation levels? Preferably ones that progress quickly and have a solid Foundation.”

“Lower cultivation level? How low is that?” the young woman asked, puzzled. “Nascent Soul?”

“No...”

“Core Formation?”

Jiang Lan twitched his lips.

As expected, she had been at a high Realm for too long. Shouldn’t a lower Realm refer to Skin Refinement and Bone Refinement?

If Core Formation and Nascent Soul were considered low, then what Realm was high?

Without letting the young woman continue guessing, Jiang Lan said directly:

“Um... probably something that can Cultivate up to Mortal Shedding will do.”

The young woman’s expression seemed a bit speechless.

She stood up, “You can just find Yan Jue later. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving.”

Clearly, she felt that the Cultivation Technique Jiang Lan wanted was too low-Rank, and she couldn’t be bothered to find it herself.

“Thank you.”

Jiang Lan thanked her again.

The young woman then vanished like a ghost; she was in front of him one moment, and gone the next.

After the young woman left, about ten breaths later, the sound of Yan Jue’s footsteps ascending the stairs could be heard.

She walked up the stairs, and upon seeing Jiang Lan, her expression changed slightly again.

This was a powerful cultivator of the Soul Transformation Realm.

“Sir, do you have any instructions?”

She walked up to Jiang Lan, bowed deeply, and then asked.

Jiang Lan said:

“Please help me find some Cultivation Techniques that can Cultivate up to Mortal Shedding.”

Jiang Lan didn’t make any other requests.

However, he knew that even if he said nothing, Yan Jue would only find him the best Cultivation Techniques of that Rank.

Yan Jue nodded, but didn’t leave immediately. Instead, she continued to ask.

“Sir, do you have any other instructions?”

Jiang Lan pondered for a moment.

He planned to take these Cultivation Techniques back to Great Yan for everyone to learn.

Now that he had risen, he naturally had to bring some benefits to his former friends and colleagues.

He looked up again and said to Yan Jue:

“In that case, please also help me find some suitable Martial Skills.”

“Alright, Sir, please wait a moment. I’ll be right back.”

With that, Yan Jue scurried downstairs, and not long after, she returned upstairs, carrying a stack of Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills, and came before Jiang Lan.

“Sir, everything you asked for is here. These are all carefully selected by me. Please take a look.”

“No need.” Jiang Lan waved his hand, then asked, “How much?”

“Sir, you must be joking. You are the Building Master’s friend, how could we ask you for money?”
