"All living things have spirits. Spirits can nurture souls, and souls can transform into gods.
"If we want to find the Mountain Soul-Essence, we have to first go to a place where the spiritual energy is concentrated."
Xu Xiaolan wore a white daoist robe and walked at the front with light steps. She explained this to An Lin as she walked.
The golden jade bell tied to her waist made a crisp sound as she walked, resembling the chirping of birds.
"Then how do we know where the spiritual energy is concentrated?" An Lin asked.
"Your rank is too low right now, so you don't have a direct sense of the density of spiritual energy.
"So, you still have to rely on me for this. You won't be able to learn it."
Xu Xiaolan turned around and glanced at An Lin with a smug expression on her face.
"I'm already at the Seventh Stage Dao Body, and you're only at the Ninth Stage Dao Body. What's there to be proud of?!"
An Lin was a bit unconvinced when he saw Xu Xiaolan's expression.
"Ah, I'm sorry, but I've already reached the Tenth Stage Dao Body since a month ago." Xu Xiaolan smiled at the dumbfounded An Lin. "Are you saying that you're the only one allowed to advance in rank, but others aren't allowed to advance in rank?"
An Lin stood rooted to the spot, and he was suddenly struck by the urge to cry.
Why is Xu Xiaolan always able to hurt people without even realizing it …
An Lin spent three months to advance from the Third Stage Dao Body to the Fourth Stage. His other rank advancements were actually all achieved through the use of system hacks.
But Xu Xiaolan only spent two months to advance from the Ninth Stage Dao Body to the Tenth Stage?
One had to realize that the higher one's rank was, the harder it was to advance in rank!
If An Lin cultivated diligently, how long would it take for him to advance from the Ninth Stage Dao Body to the Tenth Stage?
Two years? Twenty years?
Thinking of this, An Lin felt a deep sense of malice coming from a prodigy …
He followed behind Xu Xiaolan gloomily, a myriad of thoughts running through his mind.
Unknowingly, under the guidance of Xu Xiaolan, he came to a mountain stream.
Clear spring water flowed in the mountain stream, and bright red flowers bloomed around it. A strange fragrance filled the air.
An Lin breathed in a few breaths of this floral fragrance and felt weak all over, unable to exert any strength.
"Is this flower poisonous?"
He came to his senses and pointed at the bewitching red flowers.
Xu Xiaolan rolled her eyes at An Lin. "You don't even know about the Fire Lotus. Was your alchemy class taught by the class leader?"
Hearing Xu Xiaolan's words, An Lin finally remembered.
The Fire Lotus Flower was bright red in color, shaped like a lotus, and had an intoxicating aura. Regular inhalation could nourish one's body, and it had the effect of gathering spiritual energy. It was an Eighth Grade Spirit Medicine.
Normally, rare herbs could be divided into three grades: Spiritual Herbs, Heavenly Herbs, and Divine Herbs.
Different grades of medicine could be used to refine different grades of pills. For example, spirit medicine could be used to refine spirit pills, and heaven medicine could be used to refine heaven pills.
First Grade Spirit Medicine was the most precious, while Ninth Grade Spirit Medicine was the most inferior.
As an Eighth Grade Spirit Medicine, the Fire Lotus's grade was a little low, but it was still a spirit medicine, and it could be considered as a rare medicinal herb!
Thinking of this, An Lin squatted down and began his harvesting career …
Xu Xiaolan saw An Lin holding the Fire Lotus Flower in his arms like it was a treasure, as if he had picked up a treasure. He had completely forgotten the reason why he came here, and couldn't help but mutter, "So useless."
She didn't look at An Lin anymore, but touched the craggy stone wall with her hand, feeling the aura flowing in the veins.
"This should be enough …" Xu Xiaolan murmured.
Following that, she took a deep breath and used a clear and loud voice to shout,
"Earth Grandpa, come out!!!"
Because this voice was too loud, even An Lin who was squatting on the ground was shocked.
Before An Lin could come back to his senses, the ground suddenly shook violently.
"An … earthquake?" An expression of shock appeared on An Lin's face. Then, he witnessed an even more astonishing scene.
A huge body made of rocks slowly emerged from the ground.
It was more than ten feet tall, and its pale yellow eyes shone with a thick light. When its body moved, there was a loud sound of rocks colliding, and it seemed extremely powerful.
When An Lin saw this monster made of rocks, he didn't know why, but he thought of a character he often met when he played games in the past — Giant Lava Monster Moffett …
And this Giant Lava Monster was actually called Earth Grandpa by Xu Xiaolan?
"Little girl, did you call me?"
A deep voice came from the mouth of the Giant Lava Monster. It wasn't loud, but it gave off a faint sense of oppression.
Xu Xiaolan nodded and said, "I'm here in hope that Earth Grandpa can bestow us some Mountain Soul-Essence."
Halfway through her sentence, Xu Xiaolan looked back at An Lin, raised her eyebrows slightly, and then continued, "Just ten grams will do."
"Mountain Soul-Essence, I do have extra. I didn't expect someone to want this thing now. Come, I'll give it to you!"
The Giant Lava Monster stretched out its hand, and in the center of its rock palm, a small brown ball slowly appeared.
Xu Xiaolan respectfully took the small ball and bowed to the Giant Lava Monster.
Seeing this, An Lin quickly followed Xu Xiaolan's actions and bowed to it to express his gratitude.
The Giant Lava Monster nodded slightly, then slowly merged into the ground and disappeared again.
"Here, the Mountain Soul-Essence is in hand, hurry up and eat it."
Xu Xiaolan handed the brown ball to An Lin, her eyes faintly filled with anticipation.
"I got it so easily, isn't this too easy?"
An Lin originally thought that looking for the Mountain Soul-Essence would be as troublesome as looking for treasures of heaven and earth. He didn't expect to call out the Earth God and then ask him to "bestow" a little. This was completely different from what he had imagined!
Wasn't he going to do a dungeon? Wasn't he going to hunt for treasures?
Wasn't this thing a treasure? Why did he give it away so easily?
Xu Xiaolan chuckled and said, "Why, I've only seen people who are afraid of trouble, I didn't expect you to be someone who is afraid of things being too easy."
An Lin laughed dryly, not knowing how to reply. He stopped being pretentious and quickly put the brown Mountain Soul-Essence into his mouth.
The taste of the Mountain Soul-Essence greatly exceeded An Lin's expectations. It melted in his mouth, and the taste was similar to that of a mint, rather cool and sweet.
"Hmm, delicious." An Lin nodded and praised.
Xu Xiaolan held back her laughter and asked expectantly, "How do you feel right now?"
"I don't feel anything, what do I need to feel?" An Lin looked at Xu Xiaolan in surprise and asked.
This time, Xu Xiaolan was a bit depressed, as if she was disappointed that what she was hoping for didn't happen.
At this time, with a "ding", a notification appeared in An Lin's War God System:
"Ten grams of Mountain Soul-Essence has been completely absorbed. Congratulations, you have learned the beginner level War God Spell — — Mountain Quaking Fist!"
Following that, the concept of the Mountain Quaking Fist, the method to use it, the effects of using it, all the information related to it flooded into An Lin's mind like a bucket of water.
After a while, An Lin took a deep breath and his eyes lit up. He had obviously learned this beginner level War God Spell.
He knew that if he mastered the Mountain Quaking Fist, he could collapse a mountain with one punch!
An Lin began to use the Mountain Quaking Fist mantra. A golden light condensed on An Lin's fist, containing a turbulent flow of Yuan Qi.
When Xu Xiaolan saw the golden light condensing on An Lin's fist, a surprised expression appeared on her face.
An Lin threw a punch at the mountain wall in the distance. His fist emitted a dazzling golden light.
A golden fist about three meters in size surged out of his fist and slammed into the mountain wall with a vast amount of power.
Boom!
The mountain in front of An Lin trembled slightly, and the entire mountain wall was shattered by the punch.
Then, he was surprised to see that on the towering mountain wall, there was a deep dent of a fist about three meters in size …
