Ba Country.

The sky was filled with clouds today, blocking out the sun rays.

Outside the courtyard, a woman stood by the edge of the field with a worried expression.

In the field were Ba Country’s special crops, but it had not rained in the past few years.

The land was beginning to dry up.

In the past, there would be rain every two years.

Either a large rain or a small rain.

But there was nothing in the past few years.

“Mother, don’t worry. I’ll find you a shaman and let him cast a spell for you.” A youth walked out from the courtyard.

He was carving wood in his hand.

The faintly discernible figure had a posture of punching out with a fist.

Fistless God.

The people of Ba Country were strong and had a lot of strength.

However, those who could use ghost techniques and summon the wind and rain were very few.

It was very different from the people outside Ba Country.

“Is the firewood done?” the woman asked.

“It’s done. It’s even arranged neatly. I have also finished carving half of the wood figurine of the Fist God.

I can use it to exchange for good stuff.

Mother, I am already recognized as the number one fist expert in Ba Country.

The Fist God will protect both of us. When I go to the battlefield again, my name will spread throughout Ba Country. I will kill the demons and make contributions.

I shall make our ancestors proud.” Qing Mu said excitedly.

“By then, we can have enough firewood to even build a house with it.”

Qing Mu struck a pose with confidence.

“Oh right, does mother know about that piece of news?

It looks like the National Sacrificial Ceremony is about to begin.” Qing Mu suddenly thought of this.

“It’s to pay respect to the Fist God and Imperial Lord Youdu.” The woman reminded him and walked towards the courtyard.

Looking at the neatly arranged firewood, the woman didn’t say anything.

“Yes, that’s it.

It’s a request for the Fist God and Imperial Lord Youdu to send us rain and dew.

Mother doesn’t have to worry everyday about this matter anymore,” said Qing Mu.

“The food is almost ready. Go call your father back for dinner,” the woman said softly.

“Okay, Mother.” Qing Mu immediately ran outside.

The woman looked at the statue of the Fist God.

There was no emotion in her eyes.

Was it real?

Would he respond?





“Junior Brother might be in seclusion?”

Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Lan and asked curiously.

She stood in front of the vegetative egg and poured spirit liquid onto it.

Jiang Lan looked at the vegetative egg, wanting to tell his Senior Sister that he had already watered it today.

Watering it even more might suffocate it.

It would drown.

“Yes, the eruption of the Netherworld Entrance is about to reach its peak.

This is a special situation. I might be trapped inside for some time.

I can take this period to go into closed-door cultivation as well.”

Jiang Lan nodded slightly.

“So this eruption is abnormal. No wonder it feels so different from the past.” Xiao Yu looked around and said.

Xiao Yu had cultivated here before.

Besides, she often came to the Ninth Summit, so she was rather familiar with the aura of the Netherworld.

She had felt that something was amiss all these years.

She had thought it was normal.

Little did she know that this was just an abnormal eruption.

Then, she knocked on the vegetative egg and said.

“Looks like I’ll have to be the one to water you with spirit liquid in the future.”

Otherwise, you will wither.”

The vegetative egg would only die of thirst and not wither. Jiang Lan glanced at his Senior Sister but didn’t say anything.

“There are array formations around the yard that resist the Netherworld Aura.

Although they will not be of much use, it will more or less be of some aid. It’s just that this time is a bit special. If Senior Sister stays here for a long time, you will need to pay attention to the changes in your mind.” Jiang Lan reminded Xiao Yu.

The Netherworld Aura was different this time, and there would definitely be some unexpected problems in the upcoming future.

There could even be danger.

The slightest carelessness could cause one’s mind to be invaded.

Jiang Lan was on guard at all times and had his master backing him up.

However, Xiao Yu was different. She did not have any experience dealing with the aura of the Netherworld.

Although she had become an immortal, her mental state was still not very strong.

It was fine during normal times, but now was not a normal period.

There would be some danger.

Xiao Yu walked towards Jiang Lan.

At this moment, Jiang Lan was sitting and embedding his Dragon Slaying Sword Sword Intent while Xiao Yu was standing on a higher platform to be a little taller than him.

“Junior Brother, I’m your Senior Sister.

And I’m not a kid.

I am an adult dragon.

According to how humans calculate your age, I am much older than Junior Brother.

I should be the one making arrangements for Junior Brother’s life, not Junior Brother.” Xiao Yu patted Jiang Lan’s head as she spoke.

This dragon…

Was she talking about her age?

Jiang Lan didn’t mind and continued to embed his sword intent into the wooden sword.

In the evening, Xiao Yu sat opposite Jiang Lan.

She rested her chin on her hands and looked at Jiang Lan, saying.

“Will Junior Brother be going out recently?”

Jiang Lan was confused.

“Senior Sister, do you have anything you need?”

The Jade Pool Goddess couldn’t go out at will. The restriction of the Jade Pool was one thing, but it was also because she was extremely important to Kunlun.

Once she went out, there was a high chance that she would encounter danger.

“Yes, I want to eat something.”

“Eat?”

“Yeah, I want to eat candied fruits. When will you buy them for me?”

Jiang Lan was stunned for a moment before replying.

“Tomorrow.”



The next morning.

Jiang Lan sent Xiao Yu off the Ninth Summit.

Before leaving, Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Lan before returning to her normal self.

Then, before Jiang Lan could react, she hugged him again.

She had become taller.

A long-legged dragon.

And…

It felt very different from last time.

She had hugged him in her normal appearance.

However, Jiang Lan was even more curious about what a long-legged dragon looked like.

Ao Longyu looked up at Jiang Lan.

“This makes it a fair trade. When the Netherworld Entrance stops erupting, remember to return with my candied fruits.”

With that said, Ao Longyu released Jiang Lan and flew towards the Jade Pool on her sword.

Jiang Lan watched as Xiao Yu disappeared from his sight.

“Come to think of it, it’s going to take a few days’ journey to buy the candied fruits. I have still lost out on this deal.”

Jiang Lan sighed inwardly.

Theoretically, one day was sufficient for him to head to the town and return.

However, that was if he used the cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal.

He was at the late-stage Void Refinement Realm on the surface. He was not as fast as a Heaven Immortal.

He would need a few days’ journey.

However, his Senior Sister didn’t say that she wanted it now. She only asked for it to be delivered after the eruption ended.

It was good this way as well.

Jiang Lan stopped thinking and walked out.

He had not been filial to his master for a long time. He decided to go out to bring a bottle of good wine for his master.

A lonely old man needed someone to care for him.

Otherwise, he would appear lonely as he didn’t have a wife.

As a disciple, he had to take care of his master’s feelings.

He could also take this opportunity to examine the inn again.

The more he understood, the more he felt that the entire inn was different.





Jade Pool.

Ao Longyu jumped into the water as soon as she returned to the Jade Pool.

Half exposed and flushed.

Pu pu!

Bubbles appeared from her mouth.

Then she covered her face with her hands and sank into the water, looking a little embarrassed.

She had hugged her Junior Brother again.

In the past, she had never thought that such a day would come.

Not only would she approach a man, she would even take the initiative to hug him.

She did not feel conflicted at all. Instead, she looked forward to it.

However, she felt a little regretful and embarrassed.

She had rushed forward on impulse.

It was all because of her Junior Sister Lin’s random teachings.

“Senior Sister.” It was Lin Siya’s voice.

Ao Longyu immediately emerged from the Jade Pool.

She opened a path and let Lin Siya in.
