Jiang Liu sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting for Elder Bai to return while recovering his energy.
The actions just now had greatly depleted his vital energy, and Jiang Liu was also reflecting on the reasons for his failure.
First, the amount of vital energy stored is insufficient to consume. Although a human form can be formed, the vital energy quickly becomes insufficient to sustain the movement.
Secondly, there's the issue of the application of mental power, which is not precise enough. Although my current mental power is probably not much different from that of Grandmaster, my application of mental power is far from perfect.
The main problem is that I have only reached the required quantity, but I haven't advanced to the next level yet, so it's very difficult to use.
After thinking it over, Jiang Liu stood up, because he had already sensed that Elder Bai and the others had returned.
Sure enough, not long after, Elder Bai appeared in the distance with Zhang Zhiyi. As soon as they arrived in front of Jiang Liu, Elder Bai saw the two Minor Grandmaster looking at each other with a look of shock and couldn't help but wonder what Jiang Liu had done.
However, Elder Bai didn't ask any further questions. He then said to Jiang Liu, "Go back to the city and call Zhang Tang over to handle the aftermath. If you're in a hurry, you don't need to come back."
Jiang Liu nodded, indicating that he understood. He then bid farewell to Elder Bai and instantly appeared dozens of meters away.
Elder Bai narrowed his eyes; he could see very clearly that Jiang Liu had not used any flying techniques at all.
However, if he can already use the most difficult movement techniques to this extent, one can imagine that he must have mastered his other skills quite well.
Elder Bai was immediately relieved, thinking that after the Chen Family of Mountain City was completely wiped out, he could go out for a walk, or simply protect Jiang Liu.
It would also serve as a deterrent to other Jianghu, especially considering the Ye family's behavior last time, which made Elder Bai a little worried.
Jiang Liu had no idea that his unintentional action would cause Elder Bai to think so much. After a series of flashes, he flew into the air and headed directly towards the He Family in Mist City.
Before long, Jiang Liu appeared above the He Family. Jiang Liu spread his Divine Sense over the He Family and quickly found Zhang Tang, then sent him a telepathic message.
Not long after, Zhang Tang appeared before Jiang Liu with more than a dozen disciples from the Exotic Beast Valley. Zhang Tang cupped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Jiang."
Jiang Liu nodded slightly and said, "Take your men to the Zhang Family outside the city; Elder Bai is there. I won't get involved from here on out; you can handle it yourselves!"
Zhang Tang nodded and said, "Understood, Senior Brother Jiang. May I ask if Senior Brother Jiang is leaving Mist City?"
Jiang Liu nodded without saying a word and flew towards the Mist City outpost in the Exotic Beast Valley.
Zhang Tang looked at Jiang Liu's back with envy in his eyes. He also wanted to go out Jianghu like Jiang Liu, but unfortunately his strength did not allow it!
Then, Zhang Tang shook his head, shaking off the complicated thoughts in his mind, and led his men straight to the Zhang Family outside the city.
Jiang Liu returned to the Exotic Beast Valley's outpost in Mist City, went straight back to his old courtyard, tidied up his daily belongings, and then flew into the air towards the Exotic Beast Plaza amidst the farewells of the disciples who stayed behind.
Before long, Jiang Liu appeared in the Exotic Beast Plaza. Before Jiang Liu even got close to the Exotic Beast Plaza, the Frostwing Dragon sensed Jiang Liu's aura and excitedly flapped its wings, flying towards Jiang Liu.
Immediately, the numerous Exotic Beasts in the Exotic Beast Plaza were thrown about, roaring incessantly, which frightened Exotic Beast plaza's manager so much that he quickly sent people forward to appease them.
Jiang Liu looked at the Frostwing Dragon that had stopped in front of him with a happy expression. Through the mental imprint, Jiang Liu could sense the Frostwing Dragon's excitement.
Jiang Liu reached out and patted the Frostwing Dragon's massive head, then flew to the manager of Exotic Beast Plaza to settle the fees for taking care of the Frostwing Dragon.
He then apologized to the manager before leaping onto the back of the Frostwing Dragon.
Jiang Liu stood on the back of the Frostwing Dragon, determined the direction, and then transmitted commands to the Frostwing Dragon through his mental imprint.
The Frostwing Dragon flew half a circle in front of the Exotic Beast Plaza, then turned around and flew directly towards Qian Province.
The crowd in the Exotic Beast Plaza watched Jiang Liu depart with envy, thinking that such a young man was already riding Beast King and Jianghu, while they themselves didn't even know if they would ever have that day.
That day, Jiang Liu was sitting cross-legged on the back of the Frostwing Dragon, cultivating, when suddenly he sensed something, stood up and leaped down to a grassy field.
Jiang Liu hovered in mid-air, drawing his broadsword with both hands and beginning to gather his energy. The Frostwing Dragon stared at Jiang Liu with a bewildered expression, blinked its large eyes, and then flew away into the distance, sensing that there was something it liked to eat there.
Soon, a huge Jiang Liu, formed from Illusory Transformation energy, appeared in front of Jiang Liu, holding a large sword made of primordial energy in both hands. Jiang Liu his mental power to command the Illusory Transformation energy to lift his right foot and take a step forward.
Illusory Transformation giant slowly raised its right foot, its face showing a struggle. Then, as if it was using all its strength to maintain its shape, after a struggle, its right foot finally landed on the ground, and its shape remained intact.
A smile immediately appeared on Jiang Liu's face, but as soon as he relaxed his guard, the giant that Illusory Transformation in front of him vanished instantly.
Jiang Liu didn't care. After all, he had already taken the first step after the experiment, which meant that his mental strength had made significant progress and he was more proficient in using it.
At that moment, Jiang Liu looked at the mental power section of the Data Panel. His Divine Sense range was 1.64 kilometers (characteristic: Devour). As expected, compared to when he first advanced to the Lesser Minor Grandmaster level, his Divine Sense range had increased by 320 meters, and most importantly, he had gained the Devour characteristic.
Of course, this was inseparable from Jiang Liu's usual hard work in cultivation, as well as the nourishment from the Jade Anomaly Tree and the Celestial Star Grass day and night. However, the Soul-Loss Grass also contributed a lot. Thinking of this, Jiang Liu missed Corpse Valley very much.
I wonder when Corpse Valley will be able to deliver again. It seems that Ghost School also has similar herbs. I wonder if they will be effective? However, this is just wishful thinking. Jiang Liu will not risk his life.
Afterwards, Jiang Liu looked around at his surroundings and headed towards the nearby forest. He used his Divine Sense to search for dinner for the night. Since he had stopped here, Jiang Liu decided to rest for the night and continue his journey the next day.
"Roar!" A Rank 9 Three-Eyed Flying Tiger lay unwillingly in front of Jiang Liu. It was as if the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger was just unlucky. When Jiang Liu was looking for food, it appeared on top of Jiang Liu. It deserved to become Jiang Liu's food tonight.
After a hearty meal, Jiang Liu began to sit down and meditate, as Jiang Liu always maintained a strong passion for cultivation.
The next morning, Jiang Liu woke up after a night of meditation and rest. He stood up, stretched, ate breakfast, and then leaped into the air to contact the Frostwing Dragon through his mental imprint.
Before long, the tiny body of the Frostwing Dragon appeared in Jiang Liu's sight in the distance, and then rapidly enlarged until its entire enormous body stopped in front of Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu leaped onto the back of the Frostwing Dragon. Without Jiang Liu's command, the Frostwing Dragon headed towards Qian Province on its own. It seemed that the Frostwing Dragon had become more and more human-like after spending so much time with Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu was also pleased with this, especially after learning from Valley Master Mo Han about how the Frostwing Dragon had protected him when he was injured.
After a month of continuous flying, Jiang Liu finally entered the territory of Qian Province.
