Chapter 50 Green Mountain Lake (2)
Green Mountain Lake was located outside of Beltran City but was still within the territory of the Silver Wing Empire.
From its own name, Green Mountain Lake is an enormous body of water that can be found on mountain peaks stretching thousands of miles. As of now, no one knows how the huge lake formed, but there are myths about how it formed.
Some say that a super strong expert punched the mountain which then created a huge crater. And after thousands of years of rainfall, the lake was formed. As for this authenticity, no one knew.
No one dared to settle on the mountain because there were also many ferocious beasts living within it. Moreover, some harmless-looking plants were so poisonous that they could even threaten the life of a rank 5 Spirit realm expert if careless. In addition, there are even some carnivorous plants that exist in the mountains that blend freely among the greenery.

A man with long silver hair tied up in a ponytail slowly descended from the sky. Behind him was a beautiful woman with ice-cold blue hair. She was wearing a white dress that accentuated her incomparable face.
Lu Sulan glanced curiously around them. This was his first time coming here so he was a bit excited at the thought of exploring it. He heard rumors about the fame of this mountain, but he felt no fear, not only because of its strength but also because of the man in front of him.
“Master, why should we go down? From what you said, we are still a bit far from Green Mountain Lake.” Lu Sulan glanced at Jiu Shen's side profile. His eyes did not contain even the slightest emotion. It was as if nothing could move it, even if the sky collapsed.
Lu Sulan was curious about the identity and origin of his master. He knew that he was not just an ordinary person especially after he gave him a Mythical level cultivation technique, the Chaotic Ice Flame Formula.
‘Is he really someone from Nuar? Or could it be..’ Lu Sulan was troubled by his own thoughts that he had forgotten Jiu Shen's words.
“If we carelessly fly around this part of the mountain, we might provoke some powerful ferocious beasts in vain. Although I don't care about some annoying flies, I also don't want to waste too much time and energy.” Jiu Shen replied indifferently.
When Jiu Shen glanced at his disciple, he immediately felt that he was distracted, so he shook his head with a hint of disappointment. ‘This little girl's heart is still too shallow and it might take a long time for her to reach the Heavenly God Realm even with the help of her Chaotic Ice Fire Formula.’
“Ya, sir. I'll remember your words.” Lu Sulan replied while nodding his head gently.
Jiu Shen turned his gaze away from his disciple and turned his gaze forward. ‘There's an 8th rank spiritual plant somewhere around here. Although it is not part of my task, I have to get it because it may be useful in the future.’
With that thought in mind, Jiu Shen walked straight forward while recalling the map that the system integrated into his memory.
‘Only a few hundred meters ahead is where the 8th rank Abyssal Vine Cranberry can be found. It is a good ingredient to add in some high quality wines.’ Jiu Shen thought to himself.
Lu Sulan followed behind his master without questioning him. Although he was confused about how Jiu Shen was so familiar with the place, he wisely remained silent and only focused his mind in understanding the true essence of the Chaotic Fire Ice Formula.
‘Teacher said that he made this technique for me on the spot, but since when is it so easy for someone to create a Mythical level cultivation technique? Anyway, I have to remember the contents once again.’
The Chaotic Ice Flame Formula was indeed a technique that Jiu Shen had made in place for Lu Sulan. It was made solely for him in light of his current constitution. Although he had the Verdant Flames Saintly Vermilion Body, his body already contained a cold nature as he had developed their Ice Cloud Sword Sect techniques over the years. So Jiu Shen made a technique that had balance in Yin and Yang because it was the most suitable for Lu Sulan.
‘Formula Chaotic Ice Flame has seven stages in total. The first stage is called The Birth of Ice and Fire. It has the word birth in it, but what it talks about is the balance of two opposing energies in one body. It may sound easy, but if someone thinks deeply enough, they will find themselves looking into an empty space. What a technique this other world! And to think that master made this in just one sitting.’ Lu Sulan still followed behind Jiu Shen, but half his consciousness was focused on cultivation.
Jiu Shen ignored his disciple and turned his gaze in a certain direction. ‘It seems that Abyssal Vine Cranberry is still immature, but that doesn't matter. I can replant it within the Spirit World system and let it ripen there. With the abundance of true essence within the Spirit World, it would not take long for the Abyssal Vine Cranberry to mature. But before that, I still have to kill the little puppy that is guarding him.’
As if the beast knew what Jiu Shen was thinking, ferocious howls echoed loudly that made the smaller birds scatter in different directions. Lu Sulan was also warned by that voice.
“I haven't tasted dog meat for millions of years. What dishes should I cook with the meat?” Jiu Shen said nonchalantly as he peered in the direction where the howl was coming from.
