After all, these Ghost Lantern Fish had not become spirits. It was already unexpected that they could bring Jiang Li some attributes.

However, when he saw the Soul Igniting Ghost Lantern that he wanted, Jiang Li heaved a sigh of relief.

He had already used the Nine Nether Earth Fruit and the Beast Blood Diagram. Wasn't this what he wanted? If he still could not succeed, he could only try the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra again.

Fortunately, these investments were not wasted.

Behind Jiang Li, nine sinister-looking Ghost Lantern Fish transformed into black tattoos that slowly emitted a dim light.

He could sense that a ghost lamp was slowly forming in his body.

He closed his eyes and waited for a moment. A stream of Yin-attribute spiritual qi and a stream of fire-attribute spiritual qi slowly combined in his palm. After spinning for a long time, an extremely fine flame ignited with a puff.

The flame was extremely weak and its color was not pure. Even if it burned his soul, it could only cause pain and discomfort.

That was because these nine Ghost Lantern Fish had not become spirits. The Ghost Lantern Blood Tattoo condensed from their blood was naturally very weak.

Not only was the effect poor, but it could only be maintained for a day. If not for Jiang Li's cheat, he would be a fool to risk mental pollution to use the Ghost Lantern Fish blood.

It would still take some time to nurture a complete Soul Igniting Ghost Lantern talent.

However, before that, with the combination of the fire attribute spiritual root, he finally had the ability to refine the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame.

He opened a wooden box that had been placed at the side. Inside were nine Ghost Lanterns that Jiang Li had just cut and were still very fresh.

This thing was rare even in the ancient times. The details of its use were not recorded in the records of the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak.

However, in Jiang Li's case.

He picked up a ghost lamp and stuffed it into his mouth before swallowing it.

If he did this before obtaining the talent of the Soul Igniting Ghost Lantern, he would be courting death. His soul would be completely burned away, and he would not even have the chance to reincarnate.

However, with this talent, even if it was not complete, the situation would be different.

Although Jiang Li's Soul Igniting Ghost Lantern was still very weak, it was enough to make him immune to this kind of Soul Igniting effect.

After the most terrifying Soul Igniting effect was resisted, how could this ownerless Ghost Lantern Cold Flame have any room to resist Jiang Li, a "fire attribute" cultivator?

Relying on the Liquor Fire Sword Song and the Soul Igniting Ghost Lantern, he easily refined this Ghost Lantern Cold Flame. After that, a similar dark cold flame appeared in Jiang Li's mental world.

Jiang Li placed these Ghost Lantern Fish in the Yin Burial Coffin. After raising them for so long, the strength of their cold flames was far greater than those of the underwater graveyard.

Now, it saved him a lot of trouble.

Immediately, the remaining eight ghost lights were swallowed and refined by him.

After another period of time, with a thought from Jiang Li, nine black Ghost Lantern Cold Flames suddenly appeared behind him and quietly burned in the air.

This flame was not hot or fierce, but as long as a living ghost took a glance at it, they would feel the fear in their souls.

With a snap of his fingers, the nine Ghost Lantern Cold Flames disappeared in the blink of an eye as if they had never existed.

Although this was not a Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, its threat was not inferior to that.

Knock knock~

At this moment, a series of knocks sounded. Jiang Li noticed that after a night of cultivation, the sky outside had already lit up.

The tainted blood on his body had already disappeared under the cleansing status.

With a wave of his hand, Nine Nether spiritual qi surged out. Soon, the roots of the Nine Nether Wood woven a fitting white disciple uniform on his body.

When he opened the door, Jiang Li's expression changed slightly because the person standing at the door was familiar yet unfamiliar.

"…Senior Sister, hello."

Black hair mixed with strands of ice-blue hair fluttered in the morning breeze, emitting a faint and gentle glow under the morning sun.

If it was the sword cultivator clone standing here, he would definitely subconsciously reach out to touch the other party's hair and face.

This cold and elegant female cultivator was the girlfriend of Jiang Li's sword cultivator clone, Water Sword Shuang Meng.

Fortunately, a cultivation method at the level of the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra would not make such a low-level mistake. Therefore, Jiang Li only knew her and did not have any additional feelings.

"Junior Brother Jiang Li, I hope I didn't disturb you by knocking on your door."

The female cultivator, Shuang Meng, glanced past Jiang Li and saw a mess in the room.

There was an extinguished fire, and a large vat that had been burnt to a color. There were burn marks on the roof, and the room was filled with a strange mist.

She did not know what had happened to this small guest room last night. In any case, it could no longer be used.

"It's fine, don't worry. Oh, about this. I went overboard cultivating yesterday. Sorry, sorry."

Jiang Li followed the other party's gaze and noticed that this guest room had already been messed up by him.

At that moment, he also felt a little embarrassed. He ran to their place as a guest and nearly burned their house on the first day.

"There's no need to worry about this matter. Junior Brother Jiang Li cultivates so hard. No wonder you can become the number one Qi Refinement cultivator in the Great Mountain Region at such a young age. Shuang Meng admires you."

"Our Shu Mountain's hospitality is lacking. We should have prepared a quiet room for Junior Brother."

The female cultivator, Shuang Meng, had a relatively calm personality. When she spoke or handled matters, she had a gentle and tasteless indifference, but there was always a hint of worry between her brows.

This was because ever since Jiang Li's clone, the sword cultivator, Tang Yan, had 'returned from the brink of death', he had become especially busy.

Although he was not cold to her and had become stronger, he had still obtained the fourth place in the Foundation Establishment realm for Shu Mountain in the Great Mountain Cultivator Competition a few days ago.

However, as the difference in their strength grew greater and greater, many worries arose in her heart.

Moreover, a few days ago, the sword cultivator clone had just recovered from his injuries and had left them behind to leave the mountain alone. This made her feel even more worried.

"Junior Brother Jiang Li, don't worry about it. There will be someone to clean up this place. You should follow me first. Our elders have invited you."

Elders?

That was true. Jiang Li had accepted the invitation to come to Shu Mountain as a guest. He could not let him stay in the small courtyard alone for a few days before returning home. Naturally, someone had to come and receive him.

He followed Water Sword Shuang Meng to a certain place. Along the way, there was a small bridge with flowing water and the music of the bowstring.

As expected of the Water Element Peak where female cultivators made up more than 90% of the population. This level of literary arts was even better than the Rejuvenation Hall of the Scripture Storage Valley.

However, the muscular Jiang Li seemed a little out of place in this environment.

Soon, a huge peach tree and a courtyard sat on it appeared in front of him.

On a steep cliff that was grown by a huge peach tree, the branches were lush and split, and the pink peach blossoms were as brilliant as the clouds. The thick tree trunk leaned out diagonally, and a silver dragon-like waterfall flowed past it, falling straight into the nine heavens.

The courtyard was built on the peach tree that looked like a paradise in a painting.

Even Jiang Li could not help but sigh with emotion. This elder really knew how to enjoy life. The location of this small courtyard was really elegant and unique.

"Junior Brother Jiang Li, watch your step."

Water Sword Shuang Meng reminded Jiang Li before stepping on an exposed tree root and walking towards the tree.

Jiang Li could fly and walk in the air, so there was naturally no possibility of him falling down. Therefore, the other party did not mean that he would fall to his death, but that there was an array formation surrounding the peach tree. He had to follow closely and not move around recklessly.

Jiang Li did as he was told and followed the other party's footsteps. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the small courtyard.

It was one thing to build a wooden house on a tree, but to actually build a small courtyard, this peach tree was really a little big.

Only in the cultivation world with spiritual qi could such a situation happen. If it was on Earth in his previous life, it would be impossible.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Elder Mu, Junior Brother Jiang Li is here."

"Come in."

She knocked on the door. As a unique female voice sounded, the door slowly opened, revealing the simple furnishings in the courtyard under the peach blossom tree.

There was a stone table and a few wooden chairs. Beside them was a simple swing tied to the trunk of a peach tree. This was all.

Behind the stone table, a woman was sitting on a wooden chair and slowly drinking tea. Beside her stood a familiar elegant figure. It was Shenshan Qiuhua.

"Greetings, Elder Mu. I'm Jiang Li from the Scripture Storage Valley."

Senior Sister Shuang Meng took her leave, whereas Jiang Li took two steps forward, cupped his hands, and bowed. After that, he winked at Shenshan Qiuhua.

"I know about you, Jiang Li. You're the disciple of the Scripture Storage Valley's Elder He."

"You're indeed a good lad. No Shu Mountain disciple can match your vitality. Come and sit."

Elder Mu put down the teacup and waved at Jiang Li with a smile. Her smile was gentle, and it seemed that she was in a good mood when she saw Jiang Li.

"Elder, you praised me too much. The Shu Mountain sword cultivators are peerless in the world. I was just a little lucky."

As he spoke modestly, Jiang Li decisively went forward and sat opposite Elder Mu, and he skillfully took out two beautifully wrapped gifts.

"It's my first time visiting. Elder, please don't mind my small gesture."

"Junior Sister Qiuhua, long time no see."

There were two gifts. One was pushed to Elder Mu and the other was handed to Shenshan Qiuhua.

Elder Mu was clearly stunned. In the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak, where the moral standards was excellent, gifts were practically non-existent. Even if they were given, it was usually given to the juniors by the elders.

She was not used to Jiang Li's adult-like action.

On the other hand, Shenshan Qiuhua blushed as she received the long gift box, and then she actually handed a small box to Jiang Li. After that, her face became even redder.

What Jiang Li gave Elder Mu was a bronze mirror that could reflect her appearance at a clear angle. What he gave Shenshan Qiuhua was a brush made of fine hairs.

They were not valuable things. They were really just small gifts to show his appreciation.

"What a sensible child."

"You saved my daughter Qiuhua yesterday. We haven't thanked you yet, so how can we accept your gift?"

This Elder Mu was actually Shenshan Qiuhua's mother. That swing in the courtyard was probably made for Shenshan Qiuhua back then.

On a closer look, the two of them indeed had many similarities in their eyebrows. However, Elder Mu's voice was a little special, or rather, her accent was a little different.

Perhaps she came from a remote place, or perhaps she could even be from a foreign location.

It was no wonder that she was the one receiving Jiang Li today. As a mother, she naturally had to thank her daughter's savior.

Elder Mu declined several times, but Jiang Li insisted on giving it to her. In the end, after she found out that the gift was really not worth anything, she reluctantly accepted it.

"Martial Nephew Jiang Li, I see that your cultivation is about to reach the Foundation Establishment realm."

After a short conversation, the relationship between Elder Mu and Jiang Li had obviously improved greatly.

Elder Mu stood up and poured a cup of peach blossom tea for Jiang Li. The pink tea was translucent and tempting, and its fragrance assaulted the nose.

"Yes, I was fortunate enough to cultivate to the ninth-stage Qi Refinement realm a few days ago. I'm currently preparing for the Foundation Establishment realm."

Shenshan Qiuhua's mother's perception was really not bad. She could see his mind, qi, and spirit at first glance, and her second glance could roughly see his cultivation level.

Fortunately, the Nine Nether Dao Scripture had its own unique points. Some sensitive things were not discovered by others.

"Yes, that's good."

"Martial Nephew Jiang Li, you might not know this, but disciples of our Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak have to undergo the test of a mystic realm before reaching Foundation Establishment."

"That mystic realm is dangerous, but has special opportunities. I wonder if you're willing to go with Qiuhua? The two of you can take care of each other together."

Jiang Li's eyes lit up. He knew that the main topic was here.

The other party spoke politely, but in fact, that mystic realm was a treatment that only the disciples of the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak could enjoy. Its status was second only to the Shu Mountain Sword Pool. It was probably because Jiang Li had saved Shenshan Qiuhua that the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak made an exception and gave him the opportunity.

After learning from Elder He that Shu Mountain was going to give him an opportunity, he naturally searched the memories of the sword cultivator clone.

He had also roughly learned some information about that mystic realm. To him, a mystic realm that even Qi Refinement realm cultivators could go to was not anything close to danger, and it was indeed beneficial to his Foundation Establishment.

There was naturally no reason for him to not agree, so he expressed his gratitude decisively.

They chatted for a long time and even talked about many interesting things about Shenshan Qiuhua. When they talked about the little princess of the Shenshan Clan who had always been serious to the outside world, they almost could not maintain her image.

Half a day later, Jiang Li left the other party's courtyard.

However, they had yet to mention the Sword Pool. It seemed that the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak did not plan to give him another flying sword.

Jiang Li scratched his head and was slightly disappointed.

However, this was natural.

Others did not know that he had cultivated the Shu Mountain Sword Technique, so it was impossible for them to impart the Shu Mountain Sword Technique to a disciple of another sect.

Naturally, they would not give the precious and powerful Shu Mountain Flying Sword to a person who had a sword heart but did not cultivate their sword technique.

Without a flying sword, it seemed that he could only use his clone's Burning Rainbow Sword in the future.

Speaking of the sword cultivator clone, he was currently flying somewhere in the sky, using the cloud cover to fly unnoticed.

In the mountain range below him, a rogue cultivator was rushing through the dense forest.

His clothes were a little different from most rogue cultivators. He was not carrying things everywhere. Instead, he was wearing light clothes.

A certain aura concealment technique hid the aura of the rogue cultivator, allowing him to quickly and safely pass through this continuous and dangerous mountain range.
