Jia Yulan frowned slightly and looked back.
She saw Li Hanshao with disheveled hair, his eyes full of bloodshot vessels, flanked by two women from Goulan, smiling wickedly at her.
It was he who had been calling out just now.
“Li Hanshao, it’s you!”
Jia Yulan’s brows knit together slightly.
She had already heard about the annihilation of Heixuan Gate and knew that Li Hanshao was the sect’s sole survivor, reduced to being a loose cultivator now.
As for Heixuan Gate, it had already been expelled a few days ago, and the deed to the sect’s land had been reclaimed by the City Lord’s Mansion; as for more detailed information, Jia Yulan was unaware.
Li Hanshao, looking at Jia Yulan, licked his lips, forcefully pushed away the women from Goulan beside him, and sneered:
“Miss Jia, you’ve chosen your cards well, transforming from a lower rank sect disciple to a disciple of a high ranked sect overnight. Should I congratulate you on your success?”
Listening to these ambiguous words, Jia Yulan’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly, but remembering that she was in Whitefloat City, she held back from taking action.
But in the next instant, Li Hanshao suddenly lunged over, attempting to hold Jia Yulan, hehe chuckling, “I want to see just how much you’ve improved after joining Misty Sect!”
“Pervert, get lost!”
Jia Yulan’s face turned cold, and with a light tap of her foot on the ground, she had already gained some distance from him, then extended her slender fingers to launch “Vitality Bullet”.
Bang!
Even though Li Hanshao had reached the peak of the Fifth Layer of Qi Refinement, facing Jia Yulan who had advanced to the Eighth Layer, he had no ability to resist at all. After a muffled sound, he was sent flying by the Vitality Bullet, his clothes bursting apart.
“Wow!”
Li Hanshao fell flat on his back on the ground, forming a “big” shape, frightening the two women from Goulan so much that they shivered on the spot.
Passersby further away also noticed this scene and realizing Jia Yulan had reached the Eighth Layer, all opened their mouths in shock.
“If you dare to be so brazen again next time, it won’t just be a simple lesson.”
Jia Yulan hummed lightly, withdrew her hand, and as she accidentally caught a glimpse of Li Hanshao’s condition, her pretty face flushed red, and she quickly left the scene flustered. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she decided to walk home to calm her nerves with a meal.
“Refinement… Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement, how is this possible?”
Li Hanshao lay on the ground, his eyes widening as he stared blankly at the sky, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
Last time they met, Jia Yulan was at the peak of the Sixth Layer of Qi Refinement. In such a short time, she had actually reached the Eighth Layer, and moreover, her foundation was solid without any sense of instability.
“Hey, this is indecent!”
The onlookers gathered not far away, pointing and murmuring at Li Hanshao.
“Ah! My clothes.” Li Hanshao finally noticed his tattered clothes, and as the wind blew, he felt a chilled sense of exposure, immediately cursing, “Jia Yulan, you wait for me!”
Jia Yulan returned to the Jia Residence.
“Oh, my precious daughter is back! I’ve already ordered dinner to be prepared, and several uncles from the family will be coming over too. Huh! Your cultivation level… Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement?”
Jia Li’an, the head of the Jia Family, used his Spirit Eyes, originally wanting to see if Jia Yulan had advanced to the Seventh Layer of Qi Refinement.
But what a surprise!
Eighth Layer!
Jia Li’an immediately checked Jia Yulan’s pulse and, finding that her foundation was profound, he quickly asked, “Did you take a Cultivation Qi Pill, and then a Body Tempering Qi Pill after that?”
“Yes!” Jia Yulan nodded her head.
“Did Sect Master Ye give them to you?” Jia Li’an asked hastily.
Jia Yulan nodded again, “Some time ago, Sect Master Ye gave us quite a few Cultivation Qi Pills, which made our foundations unstable, but soon after, he also gave each of us a Body Tempering Qi Pill to consolidate our cultivation.”
“One for each person?”
Jia Li’an immediately took a sharp breath in surprise.
A Body Tempering Qi Pill for thirty lower grade Spirit Stones, even the Jia Family had only one bottle, treasured and hidden away like a precious jewel.
However, within the Misty Sect, such elixirs were distributed one per person!
“Dad, rest assured, I’m doing very well in the Misty Sect. The Sect Leader is about to establish a Spiritual Medicine Garden, and I’m the person in charge,” Jia Yulan said with a hint of pride.
“My goodness!” Jia Li’an felt like he was dreaming.
In the past, he thought it unwise for his daughter to join the Misty Sect, but now, it smelled great to him!
“My lord, there’s important news!”
An elderly man rushed into the hall, frenetically holding a letter from the City Lord’s Mansion.
“What is it?” Jia Li’an took the letter and his eyes widened instantly, “Daughter, has the Misty Sect passed the High Ranked Sect assessment?”
“Yes, I was just about to tell you!” Jia Yulan nodded.
“Hahaha, heaven helps the Jia Family! Spread the word, say that my daughter, Jia Yulan, has advanced to the Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement, and we will celebrate tonight. Moreover, with the Misty Sect’s elevation to High Ranked, we must go with generous gifts to offer our congratulations!”
Jia Li’an’s hearty laughter spread throughout the entire Jia Residence, quickly causing a sensation.
Jia Yulan immediately covered her face with her hands, feeling embarrassed.
That’s how her father was, treating her like a treasure. Any little news had to be flaunted, which often made her feel very embarrassed.
Soon, the Jia Family’s banquet began.
A large number of guests sat around, casting envious glances at Jia Yulan, who had reached the Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement, especially upon hearing that the Misty Sect would soon rise to High Ranked, they felt envy enough to cry.
Sitting in the seat of honor, Jia Li’an looked at the envious expressions of the crowd, feeling extremely pleased, and laughed loudly, “It’s still my doing, having such a good daughter, hahaha!”
Jia Yulan, meanwhile, was extremely embarrassed, her face full of awkward smiles.
At the end of the banquet, Jia Yulan immediately packed lots of delicious food in her Storage Belt, then left the Jia Residence and hurried to the East City Gate on a road bathed in moonlight like water.
Not long after.
In the vicinity of a quiet alley.
Jia Yulan sensed a fluctuation of Spiritual Energy and subconsciously looked into the alley, where she found a raggedly dressed woman squatting on the ground, her hands faintly glowing, nurturing a plant that had been trampled to death.
To Jia Yulan’s amazement, the plant quickly revived with vigorous vitality and stood erect.
“What an amazing talent, just the kind of person our Spiritual Medicine Garden needs!” Jia Yulan thought joyfully.
Plop!
After the mysterious woman revived the wildgrass, she herself collapsed on the ground, fainting, revealing a delicate figure that even Jia Yulan envied.
At that moment, voices of discussion came from the other end of the alley.
“That damn woman is fierce, not letting anyone touch her, even bit off a customer’s ear, and ran away from the Goulan. I wonder if she can be found.”
“If she can’t be found, why don’t we just grab someone else to take back?”
“Hey, look, she’s here!”
A few rowdy-looking youths entered the alley intending to kidnap the mysterious woman but then saw Jia Yulan standing at the end of the alley.
Because the moon was obscured by clouds, making the alley dim, the young men could only see Jia Yulan’s graceful figure, which immediately aroused them, and they swallowed hard.
“Supreme… Supreme grade indeed!”
“Heh heh, take her back, she’ll surely become the top attraction of our Goulan.”
Hearing these frivolous words, Jia Yulan stretched out her hand.
“If I weren’t a cultivator, I’m afraid my life would be completely ruined in the hands of you beasts tonight. You… deserve to die!”
After saying this coldly, Jia Yulan launched several Vitality Bullets.
When the moon peeked out from the clouds again, illuminating the alley, there were only a few charred corpses left.
