The three of them then remembered that they had actually neglected Xu Nianliang, so they started to search around the courtyard.
Not long after, they found Xu Nianliang by a big rock in the backyard. He was holding the big rock happily like an octopus, enjoying himself very much.
When Ao Cheng saw this, he raised his hand and slapped Xu Nianliang’s face without thinking. Immediately, a bright red palm print appeared.
“Stop fooling around. Let me sleep for a while.” Xu Nianliang waved his hand, and a slightly obscene smile appeared on his face.
This made the few of them very curious. What was this guy dreaming about that could make him look so obscene?
Ao Cheng rolled up his sleeves, and a sneer appeared on his face. He raised his arm and was about to slap the other party, but was stopped by Kong Yuhuai.
“I’m afraid that’s not good, right?”
“What’s not good about it? A drunkard has to scream like this to wake up,” Ao Cheng said as he slapped Xu Nianliang.
“Ao!”
A miserable scream sounded as Xu Nianliang was sent rolling away. Only then did he cover his face, his face filled with anger as if he wanted to swear.
He saw three pairs of eyes staring at him.
Immediately, Xu Nianliang’s body trembled. “Your Highness, I’m sorry. I… I drank too much and overslept!”
Jiang Xiaobai sighed and shook his head. This poor child was a little miserable.
After tidying up the courtyard, the few of them sat down and drank tea to sober up. They chatted for a while, and it was already noon.
After lunch, Ao Yan came over, indicating that they had already finished their business here and should go back.
Originally, Third Elder wanted to let Jiang Xiaobai undergo a cleansing so that his cultivation would be faster.
Although he knew that he was an alchemist, Third Elder did not expect Jiang Xiaobai to be so good at alchemy. Therefore, he did not bother about it.
Before he left, Kong Yuhuai still looked reluctant. He was very satisfied with this new friend.
Then, he said that he would come to Dragon Valley in the future if he had the chance. He asked Jiang Xiaobai to come to Five Lotus Mountain more often when he was free so that the two of them could exchange alchemy knowledge.
Jiang Xiaobai readily agreed to it.
They came suddenly and left in a hurry. The group of people rushed back to Dragon Valley.
After they returned, Ao Cheng had gone off somewhere. Ao Yan was racing against time to cultivate. Only Jiang Xiaobai was free to sit in the courtyard and drink tea.
The trip this time was quite a big harvest for him.
He had gained a friend of the Holy Son of an alchemy faction. As long as they had a good relationship in the future, they would be a great help in times of crisis.
Moreover, his relationship with Ao Cheng had improved a lot.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai felt that he had not wasted his efforts during this period of time. Then, he began to check the system’s rewards for the last few times.
He vaguely remembered that when he drank last night, he seemed to have triggered some choices.
Looking at the system’s records, he indeed found the choice he had made when he drank yesterday. He had chosen to out-drink his opponent out of the three choices and received 100,000 high-grade spirit stones.
Following that, Jiang Xiaobai sorted out his rewards.
He had already obtained 20% of Laojun’s alchemical skills. He had also obtained the Earth Vein Separation Scripture and the Kun Peng Heaven Swallowing Technique.
Following that, he had encountered the Ancient Clan outside and obtained the Abhijna Escape Technique. The system’s attacks were quite powerful. Jiang Xiaobai could be said to have greatly improved his life-saving methods by using the escape art.
It was worth mentioning that when he went out, he adopted Hu Sheng. If he cultivated to the Foundation Establishment realm within ten years, he would have another 1/10th of Laojun’s alchemy skills.
With this calculation, Jiang Xiaobai realized that he was one step closer to obtaining the complete Laojun’s alchemy skills!
He couldn’t help but look forward to it. If he completely obtained Laojun’s alchemy skills, wouldn’t he be able to take off on the same spot?
He could easily exchange the Nine Revolutions Golden Core for an extremely powerful helper!
However, Jiang Xiaobai was only thinking about it in his heart. According to the system’s nature, he did not know how long it would take for him to collect the alchemy skills of Laojun.
At the moment, he could only dream about it.
Later on, when there was still the chance to randomly draw the acquired numinous treasure, he obtained a divine sword, Abyss Rainbow. This also increased his combat strength by a large level.
Acquired numinous treasures completely crushed divine and immortal-grade magic treasures. Once they attacked, they could cut through iron as if it was mud. Once the other party’s magic treasure was cut open, how could the opponent fight?
As well as the Earth Fiend Seventy-Two Transformations, it was also a good thing.
After that, he went to Five Lotus Mountain and obtained a strand of Merit. Although it was only a strand, it was still an extremely precious treasure. After all, it was quite difficult to obtain Merit!
To sum it up, at present, it was 2/10ths of Laojun’s alchemical skills, ‘Earth Vein Separation Scripture’, ‘Kun Peng Heaven Swallowing Technique’, ‘Abhijna Escape Technique’, ‘Earth Fiend Seventy-Two Transformations’, acquired numinous treasure, Abyss Rainbow, and a wisp of Merit!
As well as 1/10th of Laojun’s alchemical skills that required ten years to obtain.
Overall, it was like this.
The harvest was not small, especially that wisp of Merit.
After thinking about it carefully, Jiang Xiaobai felt that he had some trump cards now. This way, the sense of security in his heart was multiplied.
Then, he took out the ‘Earth Vein Separation Scripture’ and the ‘Kun Peng Heaven Swallowing Technique’ from his storage space and flipped through them. With one look, he knew that these two things were a perfect match!
The ‘Earth Vein Separation Scripture’ was a divine book that talked about the earth veins, and it was also an acquired numinous treasure.
As long as he used this thing, he could find the earth vein, no matter how big or how exquisite it was.
What was an earth vein?
It was rich and dense spiritual energy, and it was something that could produce spirit stone veins in the surroundings. He knew that there was a top-grade earth vein below Dragon Valley, or else the spiritual energy in Dragon Valley wouldn’t be so abundant.
Thinking carefully, a smile appeared on Jiang Xiaobai’s face. If he could find a spirit stone vein, or even an earth vein, through the Earth Vein Separation Scripture, he would make a huge profit!
Although he could make money by selling elixirs, it would definitely not be as profitable as an earth vein!
If he found a vein, regardless of whether he developed it himself or used it as a trump card or asset, even if he handed it over to Dragon Valley, it would be quite a good profit!
When he thought of this, Jiang Xiaobai could not help but feel excited. He had found a way to make money!
Sometimes, money might not be able to move the strong, but when you had enough money, it was definitely possible.
Although it was said that an innocent man would be guilty of having a treasure, and a strong person would give you money, but if he had Dragon Valley as a backer, would there still be such a situation?
For a moment, Jiang Xiaobai’s breathing quickened. He felt that he had picked up a treasure.
The seemingly unremarkable ‘Earth Vein Separation Scripture’ was actually the most useful thing at the current stage. He had already obtained Ao Yan’s token and could freely enter and exit Dragon Valley.
Moreover, his cultivation base would definitely break through to the late-stage of the Nascent Soul stage to a certain extent. In fact, his current cultivation base was already almost enough. As long as he did a little, didn’t stir up trouble, and kept a low profile, he could probably succeed.
The more he thought this way, the more Jiang Xiaobai felt that there was something to be done!
And the ‘Kun Peng Heaven Swallowing Technique’ was even more amazing.
This was a cultivation technique. After reading it, Jiang Xiaobai understood that through this cultivation technique, he could swallow all things, and all the things that had spiritual Qi could be used to absorb and cultivate!
Furthermore, this way, his cultivation speed would be much faster. This was much faster than sitting on the ground and meditating.
Coupled with the ‘Earth Vein Separation Scripture’ to search for the earth veins, this was simply cheating..
