Chapter 50 - Green Mountain Lake (2)

Green Mountain Lake was situated outside of Beltran City but it was still within the territory of the Silver Wing Empire.

From the name itself, Green Mountain Lake was a huge body of water that can be found on top of a mountain that ranged for thousands of miles. Up until now, no one knew how the huge lake came to be but there were myths on how it was formed.

Some said that a super-strong expert punched the mountain which then created a huge crater. And after thousands of years of experiencing rainfall, the lake was formed. As for the authenticity of this, nobody knew.

No one dared to settle on the mountain for there were also countless savage beasts living within. Aside from that, some of the harmless-looking plants were so poisonous that they could even threaten the lives of 5th-rank Spirit realm experts if careless. On top of that, there were even a few carnivorous plants existing on the mountain range blending freely among the greenery.

A man with long silver hair tied in a ponytail slowly descended from the sky. Behind him was a gorgeous-looking woman with icy blue hair. She was wearing a white dress that accentuated her peerless countenance.

Lu Sulan glanced curiously at their surroundings. It was her first time coming here so she was somewhat excited at the thought of exploring it. She heard of rumors about the notoriety of this mountain, but she felt unafraid, not just because of her strength but also because of the man in front of her.

"Master, why did we have to descend? From what you said, we’re still a bit further away from the Green Mountain Lake." Lu Sulan glanced at Jiu Shen’s side profile. His eyes didn’t even contain an ounce of emotion. It was as if nothing could move him, not even if the heavens collapse.

Lu Sulan was curious about her master’s identity and origin. She knew that he was not just an ordinary person especially after he had given her the Mythical level cultivation technique, the Chaotic Ice Flame Formula.

’Is he really someone from Nuar? Or could it be...’ Lu Sulan felt distracted at her own thoughts that she had forgotten Jiu Shen’s words.

"If we carelessly fly around these parts of the mountain, we might needlessly provoke some strong savage beasts. Although I don’t care about some annoying flies, I also don’t want to waste too much time and energy." Jiu Shen replied indifferently.

When Jiu Shen glanced at his disciple, he immediately felt that she was distracted, so he shook his head with a bit of disappointment. ’This little girl’s heart realm is still too shallow and it might take her a long time to reach the Heavenly God Realm even with the help of her Chaotic Ice Flame Formula.’

"Sulan, don’t let your mind wander around. Control your emotions well and remember what I told you before we came here." Jiu Shen said calmly, but Lu Sulan felt the sternness in his voice.

"Yes, master. I will remember your words." Lu Sulan replied while nodding her head gently.

Jiu Shen took his glance away from his disciple and turned his gaze forward. ’There is an 8th-rank spiritual plant somewhere around here. Although it isn’t part of my task, I have to get it as it may come in handy in the future.’

With those thoughts in mind, Jiu Shen walked straight ahead while recalling the map that the system integrated into his memory.

’Just a few hundred meters ahead is where the 8th-rank Abyssal Vine Cranberry can be found. It is a good ingredient to be added in some high-quality wines.’ Jiu Shen thought to himself.

Lu Sulan followed behind her master without questioning him. Although she was confused about how Jiu Shen was so familiar with the place, she tactfully remained silent and just focused her mind in comprehending the true essence of the Chaotic Ice Flame Formula.

’Master said that he made this technique for me on the spot, but since when was it so easy for someone to create a Mythical level cultivation technique? Anyway, I should just recall its contents once more.’

The Chaotic Ice Flame Formula was indeed a technique that Jiu Shen made on the spot for Lu Sulan. It was created solely for her considering her present constitution. Although she had the Verdant Flames Saintly Vermilion Body, her body already contained the icy nature because she had cultivated the techniques of their Ice Cloud Sword Sect for many years. So Jiu Shen made a technique that has a balance in Yin and Yang since it was the most suitable for Lu Sulan.

’The Chaotic Ice Flame Formula has seven stages in total. The first stage is called The Birth of Ice and Fire. It has the word birth in it, but what it talks about is the balancing of two opposing energies in one body. It might sound easy, but if one would think deeply enough, they would find themselves looking into a blank space. What an otherworldly technique this is! And to think that master made this in just one sitting...’ Lu Sulan was still following behind Jiu Shen, but half her consciousness was focused on cultivation.

Jiu Shen ignored his disciple and move his gaze in a certain direction. ’It appears that the Abyssal Vine Cranberry is still unripened, but it’s not a problem. I can just replant it inside the system’s Spirit World and let it ripen there. With the abundance of true essence inside the Spirit World, it won’t take long for that Abyssal Vine Cranberry to ripen. But before that, I still have to kill the little puppy that is guarding it.’

As if the beast knew what Jiu Shen was thinking about, a ferocious howl echoed loudly which made the smaller birds scatter in different directions. Lu Sulan was also alerted by the sound.

"I haven’t tasted a dog’s meat for millions of years. What dish should I cook with its meat?" Jiu Shen said indifferently as he peered through the direction of where the howl came from.
