After the conversation, Jiang Ping'an asked Lin Zihan with concern, "What changes have occurred in the poison in your body?"
He has devoted himself to training for the past three months and has never asked about Lin Zihan's situation.
"I can suppress it without increasing the number." Lin Zihan replied, his beautiful eyes suddenly filled with affection.
Jiang Ping'an avoided Lin Zihan's gaze. "That's good."
Then, he stood up and said, "It's getting late, you should go back."
"Anyway, we'll leave together tomorrow." Lin Zihan shook his head and disagreed, "I'll be here tonight. Besides, if the patrol suddenly comes to the door in the middle of the night, we can deal with it together."
Jiang Ping'an had no choice but to say, "Okay."
On the way, he and Lin Zihan were alone on Flying Boat for more than three months. It was okay for Lin Zihan to stay in his cave for the night.
What's more, they have been "honest to each other" three times.
More than two hours after nightfall, someone really came to the door.
"Fellow Daoist, Human Race monk Ji Wudao wants to see you." A voice came in from outside, secretly.
Jiang Ping'an and Lin Zihan couldn't help but become alert. Jiang Ping'an looked through Glare Mirror and saw an imposing middle-aged monk Human Race hanging in the mid-air outside the mountain.
Jiang Ping'an then adjusted Glare Mirror and observed the surroundings of the mountain. There was no ambush.
Jiang Ping'an and Lin Zihan looked at each other, and Jiang Ping'an said, "Let's meet."
So, the two walked out of the cave and took a look at the Human Race monk Ji Wudao outside through the defensive formation.
"He is a saint." Lin Zihan said.
Jiang Ping'an nodded, activated the magic formula, and opened the defensive formation. "Fellow Daoist, please come in."
Ji Wudao immediately flew in and landed in front of Jiang Ping'an and Lin Zihan.
He glanced at Lin Zihan one more time, then returned his eyes to Jiang Ping'an, held his hands in his hands and asked with a smile, "Don't you know the name of Yougao?"
"Jiang Ping'an." Jiang Ping'an cupped his hands.
Ji Wudao turned his eyes to Lin Zihan, and he also raised his hands and smiled, "It turns out that Fellow Daoist Lin is with Fellow Daoist Jiang."
"Do you know me?" Lin Zihan said warily, with a hint of danger on his body.
Ji Wudao quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, Ji is concerned about his fellow tribesmen. Fellow Daoist Lin has been running a stall at Jade Forest City for three months, so Ji has heard about it."
In fact, he did not realize that Lin Zihan was a saint. Lin Zihan is the tenth level of the Celestial Realm, and his cultivation level is much higher than his. Lin Zihan has been deliberately hiding his cultivation level, but he can't tell.
Lin Zihan snorted arrogantly.
Jiang Ping'an asked, "I wonder what the purpose of Daoist Fellow Ji's late-night visit is?"
"Ji's presumptuous visit is indeed abrupt." Ji Wudao took out two bottles of Nine Revolutions Soul Nurturing Pill as he spoke, "This is Nine Revolutions Soul Nurturing Pill. Please accept my kindness."
One Nine Revolutions Soul Nurturing Pill is worth more than 300 Top-Grade Spirit Stone, and two bottles of Nine Revolutions Soul Nurturing Pill are worth more than 6,000 Top-Grade Spirit Stone. It is not a generous move.
Unfortunately, Jiang Ping'an was unmoved and just said quietly, "Tell me your purpose."
"Ji wants to make friends with you." Ji Wudao said with a smile.
Jiang Ping'an: "The reason."
"We are both Human Race." Ji Wudao replied, "Since we met in the Celestial Continent, we should get to know each other."
Jiang Ping'an doesn't take it seriously, Great Barrens has done a lot of treachery.
He looked closely at Ji Wudao and asked, "What did you see?"
Ji Wudao was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "I didn't see anything. I just thought that Fellow Daoist Jiang was a fellow traveler, so I took the liberty to come and get to know him."
"This is my little greeting gift." Ji Wudao then sent two bottles of Nine Revolutions Soul Nurturing Pill to Jiang Ping'an.
Jiang Ping'an heard that Ji Wudao might have seen him kill the patrol team.
"Thank you very much, but I won't be rewarded for your efforts." He said in a gentle tone.
At the end, he made an invitation gesture. "Fellow Daoist Ji, please come here to drink tea."
Ji Wudao took back Nine Revolutions Soul Nurturing Pill, cupped his hands with a smile and said, "Thank you Daoist Jiang for the hospitality."
Jiang Ping'an did not invite Ji Wudao into the cave. He only entertained Ji Wudao on the stone table and bench next to the door of the cave. Ji Wudao was not unhappy at all.
After brewing the tea, Jiang Ping'an said to Ji Wudao, "I can't drink tea. Fellow Daoist Lin will drink it with you."
Lin Zihan raised the tea cup and said to Ji Wudao, "Fellow Daoist Ji, please."
"Please, Fellow Daoist Lin." Ji Wudao raised his glass without hesitation, drank the tea, and praised, "Good tea."
Putting down the tea cup, Ji Wudao opened the topic and said sincerely, "Ji has been in the Celestial Continent for decades. He has made many friends. He is fairly well-informed and has some reliable friends. If Daoyou Jiang and Daoyou Lin have any difficulties in the future, they can come to me. Ji will definitely help me."
"Ji has several places to stay. The closest place to you is Unicorn Peak, which is thirty miles south of Jade Forest City."
We chatted for about a cup of tea, with Ji Wudao basically talking, Jiang Ping'an and Lin Zihan speaking less out of caution.
At the end, Ji Wudao stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Daoyou Jiang and Daoist Lin for the hospitality. As time goes by, people's hearts are revealed, and we will definitely become good friends in the future."
"Farewell today."
"Farewell." Jiang Ping'an and Lin Zihan said.
Ji Wudao turned around and flew out of Pine Sprout Ridge, then flew away quietly.
Back in the cave, Jiang Ping'an said to Lin Zihan, "Ji Wudao might really want to make friends."
"He does not have any malicious intentions." Lin Zihan said, "However, he is so attentive and sneaky for nothing. He must have a deeper purpose."
"He should know that I killed the patrol team." Jiang Ping'an added, "Maybe this is what he will use to manipulate me in the future, or maybe this is why he took the initiative to come to my door and make friends with me."
Lin Zihan advised, "Don't pay attention to him. Didn't you say that you will stay at Celestial City for one year and then leave? When the time is up, we will leave."
Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion."
The next morning, Jiang Ping'an and Lin Zihan drove Top-Grade Flying Boat away.
Two days later, they sneaked out Celestial Continent from the unguarded city wall, and then flew towards Essence Stone Mine, a building in Celestial Race that produced fire-type Top-Grade Spirit Stone.
Less than half a month later, Jiang Ping'an and Lin Zihan flew more than 200,000 miles and arrived at Essence Stone Mine occupied by Celestial Race.
This Essence Stone Mine is located deep in a mountain range that stretches for more than a thousand miles. This mountain range is called Fire Lotus Mountain.
Fire Lotus Mountain, a mountain range kissed by the soul of flames, most of its peaks are covered in red clothes, as if it is nature's most passionate love poem, engraved between heaven and earth. On top of multiple peaks, high-temperature magma surges like unruly Fire Dragon, continuously spurting out from the rock gaps and slowly dripping down, weaving pieces of flowing fiery red satin.
Over time, these hot magma rivers converged in low-lying areas, forming several dazzling magma lakes.
"This Essence Stone Mine Celestial Race has been mined for more than five hundred years, and it is rumored that it is ready to be sold out." Lin Zihan introduced, "So, Celestial Race will not arrange too many Saint Realm in this Essence Stone Mine, and we should be able to capture it."
