C168 Another Tribulation
C168 Another Tribulation
While the sky was still dark, Jiang Fann prepared to take Gu Ling'er and leave the Southern Leaf Kingdom.
There were many carriages gathered at the entrance of the city. There were many types of carriages, and groups of people would gather there to receive escorts from caravan or individual caravans.
A carriage looked very familiar, it was the same carriage which Jiang Fann had been riding on when he previously went to the Southern Leaf Kingdom.
Walking over, the leader of the guards revealed a look of pleasant surprise when he saw them.
"Benefactor!" Are you guys leaving the Southern Leaf Kingdom? "
Jiang Fann nodded, then asked back: "Where are you heading to?"
"We're waiting for First Miss to finish her transaction, then return to the Northern Rock Country, is it a smooth journey this time?" The captain joked.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Fann nodded his head: "It's really along the way, we're just about to go to the Northern Rock Country, do you want to give us a lift? We can pay for it! "
The guard hurriedly said, "How dare you ask for wages? If Eldest Miss knew that your benefactor was travelling with you, she would definitely be very happy."
As the two of them chatted, the woman who sat in the carriage that day walked over, looking at the two of them with astonishment.
"We meet again! It is surprising that I have heard so much about you in the city these days. "
The guard told her of Jiang Fann's thoughts.
She didn't even have time to consider before she directly said: "Of course not, it's great that you two are able to travel together. I also want to get to know you two experts, since you dare to cause such a ruckus at the Southern Leaf Kingdom."
Looks like there was no wall that couldn't be breezed, whether it was Jiang Fann or Gu Ling'er, both of them had been the topic of conversation for the past few days.
This woman was the eldest daughter of a merchant guild within the Northern Rock Country, and was named Qiu Zhen. She was always outside, wandering between the four nations, and could be considered to be very knowledgeable. Within the Southern Leaf Kingdom, she also had many ears and eyes.
What was worth mentioning was that in terms of alchemy skills, the number of Southern Leaf Kingdom alchemists exceeded the combined numbers of the other three nations.
Jiang Fann had learnt from God's Wood that the profound art of Changge Realm was spread by them, otherwise, there wouldn't be many complete prescriptions for Earth Rank Pill s in the entire Changge Realm. Therefore, the most valuable part of Southern Leaf Kingdom was the medicinal pellets, and there wasn't even a single Earth Rank pellet user in the Northern Rock Country.
In the carriage, Qiu Zhen sized up the two of them: "I heard that the moment you guys entered the Central Region, Elder Brother Jiang was already poisoned with Earth Rank?"
Jiang Fann took out a order badge from his clothes, it was the order badge for the Precious Medicine Palace.
"Seeing this, Qiu Zhen came to a realization. You two have indeed joined the Precious Medicine Palace, but once you reach the Northern Rock Country, you must definitely conceal your identity as Precious Medicine Palace, otherwise it will be very troublesome. After all, these two nations aren't friendly with each other. "
Jiang Fann laughed and said: "I have heard of this before, it is said that there are experts in the Northern Rock Country who have died at the hands of the divine wood in the Southern Leaf Kingdom. The two of us just want to go travel for a while, just like the Southern Leaf Kingdom, we do not plan to stay for long."
Hearing that, Qiu Zhen's eyes flashed, and she laughed: "The two of you are both high-level pharmacists, right?"
Jiang Fann nodded, he did not deny it.
Qiu Zhen raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Young Master Jiang's dao of alchemy should be very strong, right?"
"Just so-so!" Just say what you want to say. "
"I think we can work together for a while. You can make some pills, but our company will provide you the materials and reward you with a price that will definitely satisfy you."
Jiang Fann chuckled: "Do you think a high level alchemist would lack money?"
Qiu Zhen was right. To a high level medicine master, money was nothing.
"How about this, if Young Master Jiang needs any materials, my Chamber of Commerce will help you find them. How about this?"
Jiang Fann laughed: "If that's the case, then we can consider it."
Qiu Zhen was overjoyed: "Then I hope that we can cooperate happily."
The vast Gale Plains seemed boundless, the caravan was like a ship swaying in the sea, very unremarkable.
Jiang Fann completely released his Chapter of Pill Dao and felt the aura of the surrounding medicinal ingredients. As long as there were any spirit medicines appearing, Jiang Fann would leave by himself and quickly return.
Qiu Zhen didn't know what Jiang Fann was doing, but she didn't ask any questions either. Her face was full of anticipation, and she wanted to know what Jiang Fann had gotten from his trip.
Half a month later, Jiang Fann who was seated on the carriage suddenly trembled, the Spirit Qi of the Qi Sea was brimming, and it started to expand.
Jiang Fann opened his eyes and said: "Qiu Zhen, you two go first. Ling'er and I have some matters to attend to and will catch up to you as soon as possible.
Without waiting for Qiu Zhen to speak, Jiang Fann quickly got off the carriage with Ling'er. They were extremely fast as they ran off into the distance.
Qiu Zhen was unclear about what had happened, but the guards outside the door shouted out: "Young miss, should we wait for my benefactors?"
"No need, they'll probably catch up."
In the distance, Ling'er asked Jiang Fann: "What's wrong?"
"Jiang Fann suppressed his aura and replied Gu Ling'er. I don't know what will happen if I break through.
Ling'er looked at Jiang Fann in surprise: "So fast? Break through in peace and I'll set up a formation around you. "
Jiang Fann sat cross-legged. There was no aura of a strong Ranker around him, allowing him to have a peaceful breakthrough.
The moment Jiang Fann's Qi broke through, the surrounding wind suddenly blew, causing the black clouds to surge, gathering together continuously.
Jiang Fann opened his eyes and looked at the black clouds in the sky. Was this a Thunder Tribulation? "Impossible!"
He opened his eyes wide, unable to believe that he was still a Thunder Tribulation after this second life wrest move.
When Ling'er saw this, she continuously retreated far away. With furrowed brows, she looked over, she was very clear, other than the three major fights for their lives, normally they were just tribulations due to illness. Why did they invite Thunder Tribulation s again? Could it be that Jiang Fann had already reached the Fifth Times of Life Taking?
Jiang Fann was stunned by his calamity. God, you want to play me to death? "
"Rumble ~ ~ ~ ~"
Just as Jiang Fann finished speaking, a bolt of lightning descended and ruthlessly struck his body.
The distant Gu Ling'er's body trembled. She felt pain.
Jiang Fann was struck so hard that he started to grimace, he did not think anymore, and went all out to train his Thunder Tribulation. Although he did not understand what was going on, he still had to endure. He did not plan on wasting the Strength of Thunder Tribulation. Just like last time, he wanted to use the Arts of Pill Dao to draw it into his body.
This time, the number of Thunder Tribulation was clearly weaker than the one from the Ninth Heaven. There were only a total of twenty-one left.
Even so, it still caused Jiang Fann's body to be charred black, and steam rose from his body.
He floated in the air. As his aura washed over him, the black color on his body slowly turned into dust and fell off from his body. His flesh was translucent like a spirit treasure.
After Jiang Fann adjusted his breathing, he discovered that Gu Ling'er's back was facing him.
He walked over to her and wanted to ask what was wrong.
From afar, he heard Gu Ling'er whispering: "Smelly hooligan!"
When the breeze blew, making his whole body cool, Jiang Fann's face flushed red. He hurriedly took out clothes from the Hundred Treasures Bag s and put them on.
"Alright!" Jiang Fann said awkwardly.
Gu Ling'er turned around, her face slightly red, and changed the topic. "Have you already taken five lives?"
Jiang Fann shook his head: "It's only the second time, I don't know why, but for what reason, I actually attracted Thunder Tribulation."
Gu Ling'er said: "But when you were fighting on the Divine Wood, your strength was close to that of an expert who had taken six lives."
"My overall fighting strength should be close to five times that of a cultivator fighting for his life, that person's technique was just perfectly restrained by me. The benefits I received were naturally different from the ones I received before. Unfortunately, it is still unknown whether or not I can survive through the five life robbing trials. Even I am uncertain right now. "
However, Gu Ling'er was not worried at all, "You definitely can do it. I believe in you, this is the first time I've seen you so unconfident."
Jiang Fann laughed: "It's not that I don't have confidence! I just want to remind you, you must cherish all of the time you have with me, so that you won't regret it in the future. "
"Tch!" Who wants to be with you? "
After Gu Ling'er finished speaking, she walked towards the north with a smile on her face, no longer bothering with Jiang Fann.
Jiang Fann immediately followed, sweeping away the awkwardness just now.
He had never planned to head to the Northern Rock Country, he wanted to go to the other two places to gather the Youth Retaining Pill's materials. However, Qiu Zhen's words made him look forward to in his heart, as he could definitely obtain those two elixirs through her merchant guild.
Previously, when he obtained the inheritance from the Divine Wood, he learnt that the Changge Realm was supported by treasures, and the southernmost part was the Divine Wood. He was not clear about what the Northern Rock Country was, but it was definitely related to minerals.
Right now, even in his dreams, Jiang Fann wanted to obtain a immortal gold. The immortal root of the Five Peak Mountain was still waiting for him to capture them.
Back then, when his Changge Palace was so powerful, perhaps they really did leave behind a piece for a fated person to take away.
Of course, this was only Jiang Fann's guess, but no matter what, even if there was the slightest chance of success, Jiang Fann would still choose to head there to investigate. It was just that the Northern Rock Country was simply too far away from his current location, but he had delayed for a day, so with Jiang Fann's speed in flying through the air, catching up to the convoy wasn't too difficult.
Jiang Fann asked Ling'er: Do you want to catch up?
Gu Ling'er shook his head: "I think I will not chase after you. Your cultivation realm is rising too fast, I want you to protect me while I refine my body."
Only now did Jiang Fann remember that she still had three Little Dragon Pills on her body that he had yet to consume. In total, they did not stay in the Southern Leaf Kingdom for long, so Gu Ling'er had not taken the time out of seclusion to consume them.
This time, Jiang Fann's breakthrough had greatly moved Gu Ling'er. She felt that the gap between him and Jiang Fann had grown larger and larger.
Long ago in the prison, she had watched as Jiang Fann charged in front regardless of everything else. That strange Medicine Arts helped her in battle, but she could not help him at all when she stood at the back. As an alchemist, she would usually use the help of the Medicine Arts when fighting with others. Unfortunately, along with Jiang Fann, her little bit of ability was completely useless.
Ever since they first met, the young man in front of her had given her a strange feeling, even more so for her. Every time she knew that something was wrong with her, he would stand up and not fear the world, but she didn't know how to repay him.
Now that Jiang Fann had broken through once again, she realised that the distance between the two of them had grown larger and larger, it was not what she had expected.
Right now, Jiang Fann's realm was far above hers, so she did not want to continue being protected like this.
