Chapter 324: Jiang Lan’s Talents

The Jade Pool was located at the source of Kunlun, which could be said to be the most special place in Kunlun.

The Kunlun Temple was a man-made special place, and this place was naturally special.

None of the nine summit leaders, including the Sect Leader, had been to the Jade Pool.

Ao Longyu was the first goddess of the Jade Pool.

As for whether this place was suitable for setting up formations, no one knew either. Jiang Lan was the first one to examine it.

Ao Longyu’s attainments in array formations were too low.

Jiang Lan came to the side of the Jade Pool, wanting to start setting up an array formation there.

Only by doing so could he better gauge what type of array formation he should set up and how he would do it.

As for planting flowers around the Jade Pool, he had already given up on this.

With the existence of that peach tree, there was no need for the existence of surrounding plants.

Splash!

Jiang Lan cast a spell beside the Jade Pool.

Then, the light swept across and did not leave any traces on the ground.

This meant that it was impossible to leave behind normal array formation inscriptions here.

Since he could not use spells to craft the array formation, he could only draw the inscriptions manually.

After spending some time, Jiang Lan drew an ordinary defensive array formation beside the Jade Pool.

However, not long after he drew it, the array formation started to mutate, unable to withstand the power from the Jade Pool.

“Can it not work?” Xiao Yu squatted beside Jiang Lan and asked.

“En.” Jiang Lan nodded.

“The Jade Pool seems to be rejecting external forces. It’s a little troublesome.”

Xiao Yu didn’t say anything. She squatted down beside Jiang Lan and looked at him as she pondered.

She then reached out to wipe Jiang Lan’s forehead.

This action surprised Jiang Lan.

“I am just pretending to wipe off Junior Brother’s sweat to show my worth.” Xiao Yu smiled at Jiang Lan.

“Squatting by my side already makes it worth it,” Jiang Lan replied.

Xiao Yu smiled without saying a word. fre(e)webnovel

Jiang Lan didn’t say anything else and continued to attempt setting up the array formation.

He tried all sorts of methods, but none worked.

Finally, he cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood.

Using his blood as a catalyst, he carved the array formation and activated the power of the Jade Pool.

This was still a defensive array.

Although there were some changes, after some modifications, there would not be much of a difference.

After waiting for a moment longer, the array formation inscriptions disappeared from the ground.

Xiao Yu used her finger to poke at the array but it was blocked by the barrier.

“Done.”

Jiang Lan was quite surprised. So the key was to use one’s blood.

Then, he tried to go further away.

He discovered that other methods were similarly useless. In the end, he still needed to use his blood as a catalyst.

“Senior Sister, try using your blood.” After trying it once, Jiang Lan decided to try using non-human blood.

Speaking of which…

Did his Senior Sister count as a beast?

Dragons shouldn’t be counted as a beast right?

Jiang Lan looked at Xiao Yu. She had a face that could captivate everyone who saw her, and her figure was outstanding under normal circumstances.

No matter how he looked at her, she looked like a normal human.

Fortunately, she could transform into a human.

Otherwise…

He would have to face some form of psychological pressure.

Xiao Yu extended her hand for Jiang Lan to take her blood. She was also curious.

“Junior Brother, do you think we have enough blood to set up the array?”

Xiao Yu had been following behind him, so she naturally knew that only by using blood could one set up an array formation in the Jade Pool. Furthermore, the Tribulation Transcendence Array Formation was no ordinary formation, and the expenditure was unimaginable.

The blood of the two of them didn’t seem to be enough.

“There’s still the Eighth Prince,” Jiang Lan replied.

The Eighth Prince’s value was revealed again.

“That’s true.” Xiao Yu nodded.

The Eighth Prince was very obedient, even though he was quite naughty at times.

Jiang Lan spent some time experimenting with Xiao Yu’s blood.

He realized that her blood had roughly the same effect as his.

It was neither better nor worse.

After a moment of hesitation, he began to apply inscriptions using Xiao Yu’s blood. After the attack array formation was set up, the faint shadow of a dragon could be seen.

Seeing this, Jiang Lan casually waved his hand and erased the array formation.

The experiment was over.

He could consider setting up the real array formation now.

He looked at the sky.

It was already dark.

Jiang Lan was sitting on a rock under a tree. He specially vacated some space on this rock.

As expected, the moment there was some space, Xiao Yu jumped and sat beside him.

Her movements were a little too big and she leaned against him.

“Junior Brother, setting up the Tribulation Transcendence Array Formation will take you a long time, right?” Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Lan with wide eyes.

“It might take a few years.” Jiang Lan nodded slightly.

“Then, as a fair trade, what should I pay you with?” Xiao Yu asked.

Jiang Lan looked at Xiao Yu and thought for a long time.

“Senior Sister just needs to smile at me more often.”

The moment he finished his sentence.

He suddenly felt that something was wrong.

‘Stare—’

Xiao Yu kept staring at Jiang Lan.

“Is there something wrong?” Jiang Lan asked softly.

Xiao Yu turned her head and leaned against Jiang Lan as she swayed her feet.

“Junior Brother’s conditions aren’t too good. Every season, I would accumulate three months’ worth of smiles before spending a day to smile at you.”

Jiang Lan looked at Xiao Yu and didn’t say anything. He just looked at the sky.

The stars in the sky were bright, but they were not as bright as his Senior Sister.

He seemed to be getting more and more used to having his Senior Sister by his side.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Yu was the best person in the world. freew(e)bnovel.com

Perhaps the best dragon.

But… Could a dragon smile?

Perhaps by showing its teeth?

It was morning.

Jiang Lan left the Jade Pool and returned to the Ninth Summit on his sword.

His Senior Sister had said that she would think about what she should pay him with. She felt that Jiang Lan was unreliable, so she could only take up the responsibility as Senior Sister.

He did not reject it at all.

The reason for that was because the fair trade between them was most definitely not a fair trade.

Or rather, it was completely different from the fairness at the beginning.

If their relationship was still like the past, his Senior Sister would have already taken out a bunch of spells.

Only by doing so would it be considered a fair trade.

After returning to the Ninth Summit.

Jiang Lan immediately arrived at the plaza. There was an array formation area here that could aid him in deducing the right array formation for his Senior Sister.

This way, he could quickly deduce a suitable array formation.

At this moment, the square lit up.

Jiang Lan sat cross-legged in the center of the square.

The surrounding light kept changing, but soon disappeared.

This was a sign of failure.

Jiang Lan didn’t care about this at all.

All success was based on failure.

The sun and moon alternated, and spring came and went.

Jiang Lan, who was in the square, had experienced the sun, the rainstorm, and the heavy snow.

He sat there and slowly closed his eyes.

The deductions of the surrounding array formation did not stop.

Instead, as time passed, the deduction became faster and faster, and the failures came later and later.

When Xiao Yu came, she stayed quietly by Jiang Lan’s side and didn’t disturb him.

She would stay for a full day and night before leaving.

Most of the time, she would just look at Jiang Lan who was deep in thought.

Five years later.

The array formation around Jiang Lan suddenly stopped.

Crack!

At this moment, the deduction array formation was suddenly filled with cracks.

Bang!

The array formation collapsed.

Jiang Lan opened his eyes.

A smile appeared on his face.

“It’s done.”

“It took you five years?”

In front of the Fifth Summit’s main hall, Miao Yue looked at the array formation that Jiang Lan handed over in surprise.

“Yes, this is the best array formation I can think of,” Jiang Lan replied with his head lowered.

His formation was very simple. There were just two layers to it.

The internal layer was responsible for defending his Senior Sister while the outer layer was for aiding her offense.

“You intend to use blood to set this array formation up. Do you want to prepare the blood yourself, or do you want us to help you prepare it?” Miao Yue asked curiously.

“I already have a rough idea. If I fail, I can only ask Martial Aunt for help,” Jiang Lan said.

It was easy for Kunlun to obtain blood, but he wanted to search for it himself. This was the most suitable method.

After that, Jiang Lan left the Fifth Summit’s main hall.

Miao Yue squinted at the array formation.

After a moment, there was suddenly laughter.

“He has exposed all of his hidden array formation attainments for Xiao Yu? He is so young, yet he already has such attainments.

There is not a single person among the Kunlun disciples who can compare to him. Such a genius. No wonder Senior Brother is so willful and always gives in to him.”
