Before eating, Jiang Lan suddenly thought of a problem.

Didn't he have to brew the tea first?

​​

Brewing tea would easily leave behind some residue.

The possibility of this being discovered by his master was not low.

Jiang Lan placed his attention on the Dao Comprehension Tea in a small box.

There were not many tea leaves inside.

It should be enough for him to brew around ten or so times.

Ten was already a pretty good number.

Most of the good stuff he got from signing in could only be used once.

The Daoist Scripture was also a one-off item, but the effects lasted a long time.

As this thought flashed through his mind, a few Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves appeared in Jiang Lan's hands. He didn't have any intention of brewing them. Instead, he directly put the tea leaves into his mouth.

He wanted to eat it raw.

The effect might be a little worse, but it shouldn't be too bad.

Then, he swallowed some tea leaves.

After which, he began cultivating.

This time, he was mainly focusing on mastering the Power of Nine Bulls in his mind.

This was the only way to increase his strength.

Although the increase in cultivation could also increase his strength, it was not as large of an increase.

That was unless he reached the late-stage Void Refinement Realm.

However, that still needed a pretty long time.

At this moment, Jiang Lan felt as if everything had become clear.

Just like when he had borrowed the power of the Daoist Scripture.

He sat there and he felt as if he could see through even the tiniest details.

Although he could only focus on the Power of Nine Bulls this time, it was enough for him.

He saw a giant bull running between heaven and earth. It ran from one side of the sky to the other without fatigue, as if not understanding the obstruction of heaven and earth.

If mountains obstructed it, it would shatter them to make way for itself.

If rivers obstructed it, it would shatter them to make way for itself.

Nothing could stop it.

It was indomitable.

At this moment, Jiang Lan had a feeling that his body was one with the heavens and earth. A single fist of his could now split mountains, break seas and shatter roads.

His fist was the pinnacle of the world.

Moo!

As he closed his eyes, Jiang Lan felt the bloodline in his body surging rapidly, as if there was a bull's cry.

This bull cry exploded in Jiang Lan's mind like a bolt from the blue.

In the next moment, Jiang Lan opened his eyes.

He clenched his fist and placed it in front of his eyes.

An extremely powerful force condensed in his fist.

It was as if he could kill a late-stage Void Refinement Realm mighty figure with a single punch.

At the very least, there was no need for a second punch when he killed Feng Ji if he had such power then.

Full mastery of the Power of Nine Bulls.

"The effect of the Dao Comprehension Tea is truly beyond my expectations."

Jiang Lan thought that it would be good enough if he could reach the power of the ninth bull after eating the Dao Comprehension Tea.

He didn't expect it to be so effective on his first try.

If he continued to eat, would he be able to make some progress even with his Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel, which he was originally unable to use to its limit?

However, Jiang Lan did not continue, nor did he consolidate his Power of Nine Bulls.

Dawn had arrived.

If he didn't leave soon, he would be late.

After watering the vegetative egg and the flower with some spirit liquid, he left the Netherworld Cave and headed for the old wine tavern.

"I need to pay attention to the two people from yesterday. Furthermore, I need to figure out who the Heavenly Human Race has sent. Also, there's still the demons."

Jiang Lan thought.

In theory, with his One Leaf Vision, he wouldn't leave any traces behind when he attacked others. It was impossible for others to track his movements.

That was why the Heavenly Human Race would at most target him because of him ascending the Stairway To Heavens.

This made the situation much easier.

As he was at the perfected Golden Core Realm, the Heavenly Human Race would not send immortals to hunt him down.

Thus, he had a chance to surprise the enemy.

Of course, it would be better if those people didn't care about him.

And allow everyone to live in harmony.

When he arrived at the entrance of the inn, Xiao Yu was already waiting at the entrance.

"Junior Brother's injuries are healed?" Xiao Yu asked when she saw Jiang Lan approaching.

"En, it's healed." Jiang Lan nodded.

Actually, he had already forgotten about his injuries.

His cultivation was not weak to begin with, so his injuries healed very quickly.

Especially after eating the Dao Comprehension Tea yesterday.

Even though it had no healing effect, it was extremely beneficial to one's cultivation.

His injuries naturally healed faster.

Not long after, the door of the inn opened.

When they went in, they realized that it wasn't as messy as yesterday.

It seemed like there were no guests last night.

This was what Jiang Lan was thinking.

Once inside the inn, the innkeeper produced two sheets of paper.

"This is a map. From today onwards, you two have to take turns catching the ice cicadas."

Before the innkeeper went out with the basket on his back, he added.

"Jiang Lan will go first today. Xiao Yu shall take care of the shop."

After Jiang Lan and Xiao Yu agreed, the innkeeper left the inn.

As for where their boss was going, they didn't ask.

After taking a look at the inn and finding no place to clean, Jiang Lan bade farewell to Xiao Yu.

It was not dangerous to catch the ice cicadas.

Xiao Yu watched Jiang Lan leave without saying anything.

She came to the counter and stood on the small chair, waiting for customers.

Clang!

Bang!

Not long after Xiaoyu stood on the chair, she suddenly heard the sound of a wine bottle falling.

The bottle broke.

Xiao Yu was surprised.

However, she still got off the small chair and decided to clean it up.

…

…

Jiang Lan arrived at the Ice Cicada Forest.

According to the map drawn by the innkeeper, he had arrived at the edge of the Ice Cicada Forest.

Then, he saw the mark on the map.

It was a wine gourd.

After seeing the imprint, Jiang Lan descended from midair.

He held a spirit sword in his hand.

There was a need for battle here. According to the innkeeper's map, there was a path here. Along the way, there would be many spirit beasts and natural array formations.

Furthermore, battling here would definitely leave traces.

The Power of Nine Bulls could not be used here.

Therefore, he would just use normal sword techniques.

The road marked by the owner of the inn was an endless mountain road. Frost-covered trees grew on both sides of the road.

"I can't feel anything abnormal."

Jiang Lan walked into the forest warily.

After walking for a while, he did not encounter any danger or ice cicadas.

"I wonder if I can sign in here."

Along the way, Jiang Lan suddenly had this thought.

This place should be very far from where he had signed previously.

Perhaps he could sign it here.

Because he was in a rush previously, he did not sign in at the Netherworld Cave.

"System, I'm signing in here."

[Ding!]

[Signed in successfully. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the gift of the Great Dao. You have obtained the skill, Dragon Slaying Sword.]

[Dragon Slaying Sword: When the sword rises, the demonic dragon shall be destroyed. When the sword falls, the four seas would evaporate. This is the Dragon Slaying Sword spell, comprehended by a farmer who wanted to protect his village. He managed to comprehend it before he died just to slay the demonic dragon with one sword.]

"…"

This spell actually existed.

He remembered reading this story in some of the classical books in the Ninth Summit.

According to the records, there was a way to comprehend the Dragon Slaying Sword.

However, he only took a glance and had no time to learn such things.

Now, he had coincidentally learned it?

"I wonder if a demonic dragon is any different from a true dragon."

Jiang Lan was puzzled but still chose to learn the skill.

He opened the book in his mind.

Following which, he comprehended the Dragon Slaying Sword.

As long as he familiarized himself with it, he would be able to truly master the Dragon Slaying Sword.

This sword was targeted at the Dragon Race, so it was not very effective on other living beings.

Of course, it was very difficult to slay a dragon without a sufficient cultivation base, unless one paid the price with their life.

All in all, it was far inferior to the Power of Nine Bulls.

Even when facing the dragon race, its power might not necessarily be comparable to the Power of Nine Bulls.

However, there was no target for him to test the power of the Dragon Slaying Sword on currently.

Should he look for Senior Sister Ao?
