The candied fruit was not sweet enough.
It was probably not necessarily sweet.
But there was a layer of sugar outside.
It was sweet and sour, not bad.
It wasn’t exactly delicious, but it wasn’t bad either.
As for the disasters.
It seemed like it was increasing. There had indeed been some changes to the outside world.
However, ordinary people did not know much.
He could only make a partial reference.
He would be able to find out by taking a look around when he went out to train.
No matter what, since these people had said that the world was about to collapse, something would definitely happen.
He decided to feel and find out more about it.
This would benefit him in the future.
There was no need for him to worry too much about it at the moment. He should focus his efforts on cultivating so that he could become stronger and better deal with these matters.
This was the path he needed to take.
At night.
The streets of Qingcheng Town became deserted.
Many people returned to their residences.
The shops were closing.
“Looks like the Eighth Prince should be finishing soon as well.”
Jiang Lan muttered to himself as he sat at the edge of the street.
Sure enough, he saw the Eighth Prince coming from the other side of the street.
“Brother-in-law, I’ve bought what I needed. What about you?” The Eighth Prince asked.
“I’ve already bought it,” Jiang Lan said softly to the Eighth Prince.
“Then let’s go back,” the Eighth Prince said.
As a cultivator, the difference between night and day was not big.
Therefore, traveling at night was not a problem for them at all.
The sky was still dark.
Near the Ice Cicada Forest, Jiang Lan separated from the Eighth Prince.
The Eighth Prince had gone to the mountain where wild animals were easy to hunt. He was probably doing business again.
“The Eighth Prince is quite independent.”
He made money to support himself.
This seemed easy, but it was actually very difficult.
Jiang Lan didn’t think that he could do better than the Eighth Prince.
Without further thought, he headed for the inn.
He wanted to get some good wine today.
If not for the Eighth Prince’s help, he would need a longer time to complete a round trip.
After all, his cultivation on the surface was not that strong.
It was better to travel according to his surface cultivation level.
It was morning.
Jiang Lan arrived at the old inn.
The inn had yet to open.
He waited a moment.
It wouldn’t take long before the inn opened. He’d helped out here before, so he knew when it opened.
While he was waiting, Jiang Lan noticed a red-haired woman walking over.
She was very beautiful and was dressed in a red dress.
A Mid-stage Human Immortal.
“Someone from the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race?”
Jiang Lan was surprised.
She was very strong.
However, this wasn’t the girl from the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race that was working in the inn. This should be someone else from her race.
Without further observation, he slowly retreated some distance, leaving the main position for the other party.
If he had to retreat, he would do so.
With fewer enemies, no one would pay attention to him.
Only then would it be safer for him.
Fighting to exert one’s strength and authority was just asking for trouble.
If he was not careful, he would get himself killed.
He did not want to place his hopes on others’ magnanimity.
After giving way, the girl from the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race indeed stood at his initial position.
However, to Jiang Lan’s surprise, the other party actually spoke to him.
“Mid-stage Void Refinement Realm cultivator?
Are you here to get some good wine?”
Jiang Lan sighed in her heart as he felt that trouble was coming.
Then, he nodded slightly.
“Yes.”
“Did you reserve it?” Hong Yi asked.
Jiang Lan could only nod.
“Can you sell it to me?” Hong Yi asked Jiang Lan.
“Senior, even if you didn’t make a reservation, you can still get it after the boss comes back in the afternoon,” Jiang Lan reminded her.
Back in Kunlun, many people looked down on him.
However, other than the people who wanted to kill him, no one came to bully him.
It was rare to see someone act like this in front of him.
“You really don’t know what’s good for you.” Hong Yi looked down at Jiang Lan, the aura of a human immortal faintly discernible.
Jiang Lan lowered his eyebrows. It wasn’t convenient to take action here.
Creak!
At this moment, the door suddenly opened.
It was the youth.
He looked at the two of them curiously.
Then, he asked the girl from the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race.
“What are you doing?”
“The inn didn’t say that we can’t buy good wine from others. Is there a problem if I buy it from this person?” Hong Yi asked.
After that, she no longer paid attention to the youth. Instead, she looked at Jiang Lan and said.
“Think it over, human. Sometimes even a small thing can give —”
Bang!
Before Hong Yi could finish speaking, a halberd suddenly struck her face.
Whoosh!
Bang, bang!
Hong Yi was sent flying and fell to the ground, rolling a few times.
Jiang Lan looked at the halberd with some surprise. He followed the halberd and saw the person holding it.
It was the youth from the inn.
“Human, what are you doing?” Hong Yi stood up and looked at the youth angrily.
The youth held the halberd in his hand and made a throwing motion. A violent aura began to appear on his body.
“Die.”
Woosh!
The halberd was directly thrown out by the youth.
A powerful force headed straight for Hong Yi.
Seeing this sudden attack, Hong Yi actually felt like she was being stared at by a terrifying vicious beast.
At this moment, her blood energy surged. It was a premonition of extreme danger.
The other party really wanted to kill her.
This…
No, she had to retaliate.
Otherwise, she would be severely injured.
But…
She always felt like there was a vicious beast staring at her, waiting for the most fatal moment to strike.
She did not know if it was an illusion, but she felt that she would die here if she did not deal with it.
Just as she was feeling a little helpless, she suddenly saw a figure appear in front of her.
Boom!
The halberd was blocked.
Clang!
The halberd flew high into the air and then stabbed into the ground.
There was a young girl standing in front of Hong Yi.
It was the girl from the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race, Hong Ya.
She was at the perfected Human Immortal Realm.
She was naturally qualified to block the youth’s attack.
Jiang Lan was somewhat surprised. In just a few breaths’ time, the situation had changed several times.
Fortunately, there was no one nearby. Otherwise, he would become the topic of conversation for the disciples of the various peaks.
“Hong, Hong Ya?” The moment he saw Hong Ya, the youth was shocked. He then immediately explained.
“This is a misunderstanding.
The halberd belonged to that stupid dragon, not me.
It might have lost control.”
“Apologize,” said Hong Ya.
Her voice was soft but unquestionable.
Without any hesitation, the youth lowered his head and said.
“I’m sorry.”
“I’m not asking you to apologize.” Hong Ya turned to look at the shocked Hong Yi and said.
“Apologize.”
“Me, me?” Hong Yi felt wronged.
However, under Hong Ya’s gaze, she lowered her head and apologized.
“I’m sorry for offending you two.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. We’re on the same side.” The youth from the inn shook his head.
Jiang Lan also nodded, not saying anything excessive.
After that, Hong Yi didn’t say anything else about buying his good wine.
Jiang Lan left the inn after receiving the good wine from the youth.
But before he left, the youth gave him something.
It was the halberd that belonged to the Eighth Prince.
When he handed the halberd to Jiang Lan, the youth whispered to him.
“The head of the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race is too high. Next time you see her, knock her head off with this.”

It was hard to turn down such kindness.
In the end, Jiang Lan put away the halberd.
However, using a halberd to kill might not guarantee a sure-kill.
Using the Power of Nine Bulls was perhaps a better choice.
