Chapter 88: Holy Land Gambling Stone Workshop, Human-Shaped Divine Herb
"I will also cultivate diligently," Jiang Jiang Luoshen said.
"Once my own strength is strong, I won't fear anyone."
"As for those beast kings from before, in a few days' time, I will be able to suppress them too. This is the confidence Young Master has given me, hee hee," Jiang Jiang Luoshen laughed.
"My girl has grown up."
"It's all thanks to Young Master's training... pfft, education," Jiang Jiang Luoshen gave him a side-eye, annoyed.
"Haha..."
"Don't be careless, though," Jiang Nan said.
"You still have hidden powerhouses on this side, and there are even more powerful beings in the depths of the universe."
"Those who are hidden, transcending the world, view outside lives as ants; there really aren't many good ones among them."
"They even collude with those from beyond the realm."
"Young Master just likes to dampen my spirits," Jiang Jiang Luoshen said, puzzled. "I was just about to have some confidence in the outside world, and you say there are even more old fogies."
"On the path of cultivation, just take it slow," Jiang Nan said. "Besides, you have me."
"I have things to do this time; next time I come, I'll see about robbing them too."
"Eating inside and out while still occupying resources—what right do they have?" Jiang Nan said.
"Rest assured, just stick to your own path. You are still young, and those old fogies have withered blood and Qi; how can they compare to you?"
"Hee hee, I know," Jiang Jiang Luoshen laughed.
"I'll give you something." Items appeared in Jiang Nan's hand.
"A spirit sword, quite high-grade; it can help increase your strength significantly," Jiang Nan said.
"A soft armor that can change its form at will. It can take the shape of your most comfortable and favorite clothing, and you can change your outfit every day—it even saves you from buying clothes. It is also of a grade where Dao and logic are intertwined."
"A spirit accessory, for the direction of divine sense..."
These were all obtained from the time Jiang Nan wiped out the Earth Fiend Sect, as well as from a bunch of old fogies later on.
Those people were stronger, and their items were quite good.
"You can feel the laws within them, draw inspiration from the artistic conception, and grind to adapt," Jiang Nan said. "But don't rely on them too much; these are to protect yourself."
"I like them very much," Jiang Jiang Luoshen laughed.
"But I have nothing to give you; everything I have, you already have."
"You gave me the most precious thing."
"Go on," Jiang Jiang Luoshen blushed.
"It's true. Dual cultivation of Heaven and Man is our greatest harvest this time, the greatest gift we gave each other, opening the door to a new world..." Jiang Nan laughed.
"Young Master, can we change the subject?"
"I'm going back," Jiang Nan said.
"Oh."
"You must take care too," Jiang Jiang Luoshen said.
Jiang Nan sent Jiang Jiang Luoshen back to her manor.
"Woman, give me a hug."
"Don't really go buying cucumbers. If you need me, call me."
"You have a boyfriend."
"Get lost," Jiang Jiang Luoshen said, shy and angry, kicking at him fiercely.
She didn't manage to land the kick.
"Haha, I'm off." Jiang Nan waved his hand in the void, then disappeared into a space-time vortex.
He had done quite a lot of things on this visit.
He had even created the Heaven-Man Dual Cultivation method—it came naturally.
This damn comprehension; he hadn't even meant to, yet he realized it.
The Dao of Yin and Yang had made great progress.
In every aspect.
Jiang Nan had truly received a lot of feedback as well.
There were also some resources, and he had harvested quite a bit.
However, it was still not enough for him to break through to another small realm.
He required too many resources, and over there, the spiritual energy had only recently recovered, so many resources were still at a primary level.
He had also gained quite a few points.
Changing some of Jiang Jiang Luoshen's destiny and wiping out some beast kings had earned him 2,000 points.
Jiang Jiang Luoshen receiving guidance and her strength improving time and again had provided 200 points in feedback.
These were all extra gains; having them was naturally for the best.

Jiang Nan looked at the panel, feeling strange.
Heaven-Man Dual Cultivation had actually appeared on the panel, proving it really was a Great Dao method.
He hadn't been bluffing.
There was also the Small Six Paths. During this trip to different worlds, he had realized some different rules, as well as the wondrous rules when crossing domains. Jiang Nan had never ignored them; he had contemplated them all well.
The Small Six Paths method had also appeared on the panel, indicating it had reached a certain threshold level.
His panel had a very high baseline; many methods and divine abilities didn't even qualify to be on it.
These two were completely realized by himself, so he needed to take it slow and gradually accumulate to enrich himself.
Right now, they were both at Minor Completion.
Next was the point lottery.
His world needed more points.
The Golden Horned Giant Beast was special and required even more points; he never had enough.
Jiang Jiang Luoshen's world was alright, but he had drawn a few times and hadn't pulled anything particularly good.
That girl's strength was also slowly improving; he estimated he would get more points in the future.
Then there were Ji Ning, the Wine Sword Immortal, Meng Ke'er, and others.
He had already drawn from Ji Ning's own world twice; to draw from the world behind him, the point cost would double significantly.
The Wine Sword Immortal was quite forthright; he could just drink and communicate later, and he would be able to realize things.
Meng Ke'er's side was also fine, but her cultivation method was mostly for women, and the world behind her required 3,000 points; he didn't have enough.
Lu Lu Xueqi's world—the methods there seemed neither high nor low; he didn't have any special expectations.
He could just communicate later.
"Draw from Ma Ma Xiaoling's world," Jiang Nan said.
That world had many strange things, and there were quite a few good ancient items; he had some expectations.
If he had enough points, he would use them; using them was an opportunity, and he might become stronger.
Only by becoming stronger could he earn more.
There was no need to save them.
When he had more points in the future, he would draw from the methods of different worlds.
Different paths, equipment, resources, and so on.
[Lottery in progress, deducting 2000 points. Target: Ma Ma Xiaoling's world. Congratulations on obtaining the Zombie King Jiang Chen's ability: Dark Vortex.]
[Your comprehension is heaven-defying; you have realized the Dark Vortex to Great Completion profundity.]
Dark Vortex? Was this a divine ability in the direction of dark devouring?
It was somewhat similar to the direction of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art he had evolved—devouring all things... but it was also different.
This was a zombie's skill; having realized the profundity, it didn't seem like he could use it that smoothly.
However, the profound artistic conception could be evolved to suit himself.
Jiang Nan contemplated and evolved it casually.
Powerful divine abilities were all ever-changing and could have countless unfathomable directions.

Jiang Nan discovered a problem.
Group members could all earn points by reversing their original destiny lines.
If someone helped, they could also earn points together.
He didn't seem to have that.
His future was all variables; he needed to walk it himself.
Aside from trading, checking in, and such, he seemed to only be able to mingle in other people's destiny lines.
Desolate Ancient World.
Wanfu Holy Land.
It was rumored to be a holy land passed down by an existence who had achieved Dao in an alternative way.
Xuanzhen Wanfu Shangren.
Jiang Nan arrived at a city on this side.
Big places had more resources; if they came to trouble him, he would just borrow some resources.
The girl had gone off to explore on her own, and he would also sharpen his own Dao.
Using the Eight-Nine Profound Art, he transformed into a body-refining cultivator; no one could recognize anything.
The Eight-Nine Profound Art was originally meant to make the divine body incomparably strong; there was nothing wrong with that.
In the Desolate Ancient Era, there were many tyrannical divine bodies and battle bodies; there were many body-refining cultivators from various clans.
It was very normal.
The atmosphere in a big city was different, and there were many cultivators; one could even see powerhouses at the Dragon Transformation level on the street.
Back in Ningzhou, those were all the old fogies kept as trump cards by each family.
Jiang Nan arrived here and heard a hot piece of news.
An ancient scroll regarding the inheritance of the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land had supposedly appeared, and the big shots of various holy lands had been attracted and rushed off to fight for it.
In the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains in the southwest, a fierce battle had broken out; the sky collapsed and the earth sank, and even Great Powerhouses had suffered losses.
Major forces were also deducing some possibilities.
Was it really the Heavenly Pivot inheritance?
Those guys before had suspected he had obtained it; he had only drawn a lottery.
He had nothing at all.
He hadn't been here long; he had only been in small places before, and many didn't know anything.
Those people were just suspicious, each with their own calculations.
So when those major forces occasionally heard of it, they would scoff.
Such an item could not be picked up by just anyone.
If one's strength was poor, one didn't even have the qualifications to approach.
Even now, having reached a temporary agreement to explore the records of the ancient scroll, they were all very cautious.
Even so, they had lost quite a few good hands on the road.
The Heavenly Pivot inheritance was very ancient and had deep foundations; some of the killing intent could not be underestimated in the slightest.
It was rumored that Heavenly Pivot had a connection to the Taiyin Ancient Emperor's inheritance.
Regarding the Ancient Emperor's inheritance, this was what the holy lands were looking forward to even more.
Even a sliver of it made people hot-blooded; it could be a massive harvest.
Jiang Nan also wanted to join in the fun, but now it was dominated by the Great Powerhouses of each family, and it was hard to say if there were even Sages peeking in secret.
The Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of all paths were no longer qualified to participate.
It was hard to get involved.
There were Sages in the Desolate Ancient Era, and even stronger ones.
It was just that they were usually in bitter cultivation, or in different realms, so one couldn't see them.
Those who reached this realm were either pursuing longevity to live a few more years, or they had ambitions, looking forward to competing for that supreme, unique path of the Great Emperor.
For the sake of this path, anything could be abandoned.
So these people usually didn't care about ordinary matters, unless it was related to their own improvement.
Then he wouldn't go; he had plenty of opportunities.
Moreover, he felt that those guys might not necessarily get any results.
This was some progress he had realized from constantly contemplating destiny, reincarnation, and the Heavenly Dao these past few days—a vague intuition.
Jiang Nan ascended a restaurant and ordered a pot of spirit wine and a few small dishes.
He had previously cultivated with millions of catties of Source, and he still had some of the gains from the Earth Fiend Sect.
He was still quite wealthy.
"Have you heard? At the Wanfu Holy Land gambling workshop, they cut out something good—a peerless divine herb." Inside the restaurant, people from all walks of life could always hear news of the world...
"I heard it too. They say it's a human-shaped divine herb."
"Several Great Powerhouses nearing their limits wanted to buy it at a high price, but were all refused."
"The Wanfu Holy Land has enshrined it and is displaying it there."
"Can it be viewed? Divine herbs are incomparably rich in spiritual energy; one could probably take two breaths from afar, this..." Some top-tier items were priceless even just to take two breaths from.
"You're thinking too much," someone said. "Naturally, it's sealed in an array; one can only view it from afar."
"The Wanfu Holy Land gambling workshop has a good plan. With such publicity, who knows how many people will go to gamble on stones."
