The first stop was the waterfall.
This time, Tang Lan didn't need to swing his hammer. He directly summoned the Thunder Flame Clear Sky Hammer and used Clear Sky Body Protection.
Holding it above his head like a shield, he forcefully carved out an opening in the turbulent water flow.
This revealed the stone wall portal that had been left open since his last departure.
He then used Gecko Wall Crawl, scaling it in just a few moments.
Looking back, he saw Tang San staring in astonishment.
"Brother, how did you get up there?"
The stone wall was exceptionally smooth, and the portal was more than ten meters off the ground.
Even with his Ghost Shadow Trace, it was a bit difficult to ascend—after all, that movement technique excelled at dodging.
Tang Lan... "Oh? You haven't been cultivating the spirit power route I taught you?"
Tang Lan asked back.
"That spirit power has a kind of adsorption, it can allow one to stick to the wall."
What? It had that kind of special effect? Tang San chuckled nervously, feeling a bit guilty.
"So that's how it is..."
"I understand, Brother. You go in first, I'll be right there."
After all, if he were to climb up, he'd have to use Ghost Shadow Trace.
What would he say if Tang Lan asked him about it?
If he wanted to learn, would Tang Lan teach him? It was better to get him inside first.
But... Tang Lan glanced at the Clear Sky Body Protection in his hand and looked at Tang San with confusion.
"Are you sure?"
Tang San was dumbfounded! He had forgotten that Tang Lan would also need to "hold the umbrella"!
What should he do?
He could only feign the appearance, imitating Tang Lan's movements and attempting to "crawl" up.
The result, naturally, was failure.
Only a few steps up, his foot slipped—
"Plop—"
He fell into the water.
Tang Lan found it hilariously amusing.
When Tang San surfaced from the water,
[Tang Lan] immediately threw out his Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor, which wrapped around more than half of his upper body and dragged him out with brute force.
After the Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor dispersed,
Tang San's face was almost purple from holding his breath!
"Little San? Are you okay!" Tang Lan asked worriedly. "My Martial Soul just awakened, and my control isn't good. I panicked when I saw you fall into the water..."
Tang San caught his breath and waved his hand to indicate he was fine.
Still dripping with water, he stood up and walked into the cave.
He was afraid Tang Lan would ask more questions.
Tang Lan chuckled behind him, thinking, Let's see if you can keep hiding things. It'll drive you crazy!
He chased after him.
Where the sunlight fell, Ah Yin was no longer present.
There was only a pit.
Tang Lan naturally already knew that Tang Hao had dug up his wife again.
He probably didn't want Tang Lan to have too much contact with Ah Yin at the moment.
"Oh no! Where did she go?" Tang Lan asked in surprise. "She was clearly here before. Look, the box is still here."
The heavy lead box was left on the ground.
After a quick look, Tang San knew Tang Lan wasn't lying.
As for the current situation... "I can only say that this opportunity is not meant for me," Tang San sighed. "Brother, let's go to the next place."
"We can only do that," Tang Lan said, feigning regret.
Returning to the cave entrance,
Tang Lan once again activated Clear Sky Body Protection, propping open an opening.
He gestured for Tang San to go out first.
Tang San closed his eyes and jumped directly down.
"Plop—"
He fell into the water again.
By the time he surfaced, Tang Lan had already used Gecko Wall Crawl and descended to the shore beside him.
Without giving Tang San a chance to refuse, his Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor was flung out.
It wrapped around Tang San's waist and gave a mighty pull! This caused Tang San, who could have swum to shore, to be yanked off course and choke on a mouthful of water.
Upon reaching the shore,
he began to cough violently, only recovering after several minutes.
"Ah, are you okay, Little San?"
Tang San: "."
Did I look like I was okay? But facing Tang Lan's concerned, apologetic, and helpless expression, Tang San couldn't get angry.
—He was doing this for my own good. He could only force a smile and say, "I'm fine, brother. Let's go to the next place."
"You're all wet, use your spirit power to dry yourself," Tang Lan reminded him. "The spirit power cultivated through this spirit power route is warm and covers your body."
Tang San's smile stiffened! His Profound Heaven Skill internal energy didn't have this effect!
"What, not enough spirit power?" Tang Lan asked.
Tang San quickly nodded.
"It's okay, I'll help you."
Without further ado, Tang Lan placed his hands on Tang San's shoulders, and his Nine Yang Divine Skill internal energy surged out.
While drying his clothes, it also began to seep into Tang San's body.
Tang San: (╯°Д°)╯
He had already experienced how troublesome the Nine Yang Divine Skill internal energy was!
But now, to push Tang Lan away?
On what grounds? Saying he hadn't cultivated that spirit power route? Why hadn't he cultivated it?
To say he had a better cultivation method?
You have something better and you're not sharing?
Tang San was like a mute eating a bitter herb, unable to express his suffering! He could only grit his teeth and endure.
Once the clothes were dry, he would immediately slip away.
"Alright, alright!"
"The clothes are dry!"
"Brother, don't waste your spirit power!"
[Host caused Tang San's cultivation to regress by seven days, seizing a trace of Tang San's destiny!]
[Reward:
Oh wow!
This is an unexpected surprise.
"Are they really dry?" Tang Lan asked with concern. "Don't let them be half-dry. I still have spirit power!"
He reached out as he spoke.
Tang San was so scared he retreated repeatedly!
In just that short while, his cultivation time had been set back by seven days! And he wanted to do it again?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Seeing Tang San's strong resistance, Tang Lan could only regretfully withdraw his hand.
"Alright, then let's hurry to the next location."
He led Tang San on a run to the small forest where the Blue Silver King resided.
Seeing the towering grass, Tang San was awestruck! Is this Blue Silver Grass? The surrounding swaying Blue Silver Grass was also thicker than ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
No wonder Tang Lan's Blue Silver Grass could evolve.
This is truly a treasure trove.
"Old man?" Tang Lan called out with all his might. "Are you still there, old man? My brother also has the Blue Silver Grass spirit, could you help him awaken it?"
Tang San waited expectantly.
However... No matter how loudly Tang Lan shouted, there was no reaction.
—Of course not.
Most of the Blue Silver King's mental power had been condensed into a simplified inheritance and given to Tang Lan.
It would take hundreds of years to recover by sleeping alone.
Even if we consider it from another perspective.
The Blue Silver King was woken up, and the Blue Silver Emperor was also unique.
Even with Ah Yin's sacrifice bug, there were at most two bloodlines alive.
Tang San wanted to awaken again?
Absolutely impossible.
However. Tang Lan had "carefully" prepared a Spirit Ring for Tang San!
With a thought.
The Blue Silver Grass he controlled from the shadows released the Spirit Beast it had bound.
A white rabbit with red eyes had fled in panic.
Tang Lan, as if by instinct, released his Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor to entangle it.
He pulled it close.
The red-eyed rabbit felt the danger and struggled violently, the Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor almost losing its grip.
Tang San raised an eyebrow! He had just deeply experienced the resilience of the Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor.
This rabbit. "Huh? This rabbit is so strong!"
Tang Lan said curiously—
"An ordinary rabbit, when captured by my Blue Silver Grass, would be half-dead if not dead."
"Could this be a Spirit Beast?"
Tang San's eyes lit up! A Spirit Beast?
A Spirit Ring!
Was the opportunity for a breakthrough coming just like this?
