Lazy Immortal - 10 Ch 10 Commotion in the fores

The Salamander city is well known for its beauty and peace. There was a rich Ki stone deposit below the city. The deposit was later discovered and mined by Long clan. This had played a huge role during the initial years of the development of the clan. The first patriarch of the Long Clan had used this rich Ki stone deposit to make a breakthrough to the Heavenly pellet realm and establish the clan where it was now located.

Shen house was located in Salamander city, governing it as the natural peace keeper. This was another sect within the Long clan. The Long clan was comprised of many minor sects and five major sects. The major sects were Right Wing sect, Left Wing sect, Talon sect, Shen sect and Fire Sect. At this time, the Left-Wing sect and the Right-Wing sect were under a major rivalry. The Great elders of each sect had proposed a genius to leader the Clan for a century. The proposed candidate had to be aged less than 50 and would need to pass the trial.

Jiang Long was currently residing at Shen Sect’s guest quarters. He had journeyed for months and fought many battles. A few of which had almost claimed his life. He had developed a vicious killing intent and practiced the most brutal form of Ki arts. He had been suppressing his anger over Lan Long all the time after he had been humiliated by him. In one of the battles he had faced a similar situation and was thrown over the brink of despair and madness. Some things in his mind finally broke, he suddenly gained a type of killing intent. This killing intent was called Ashura’s gaze. It’s was capable enough to render cultivators of the completely frozen for an instant if the cultivators mind wasn’t strong. Weaker cultivator would feel their Ki in frenzied state or even face Ki deviation, instantly killing them. Stronger cultivator would feel their reaction slowed or senses being muddled. It was an extremely useful tool for killing and had great value in battles.

Jiang Long had also discovered that his Ki flow was much smother when Ki had activated his intent. Due to his gains over the course of his journey, Jiang long had amassed quite a few treasures and exchanged them for better weapon. He even broke through to the Late Ki condensing realm and become far stronger than at the time of humiliation. His new mind set had let those bottled feeling free and they soon turned into unyielding rage.

“Brother Jiang come quickly, the elder has summoned everyone of younger generation.” A disciple yelled as he left in a hurry. Jiang Long got up hand headed to the main hall. Soon, about a hundred young cultivators had gathered and were awaiting instructions. Soon, long bearded old man came and tapped his cane on the ground silencing everyone.

“The heavens have sent down a tribulation 10 days away in the south. It is most likely a treasure has appeared. It would be quite a favorable task for any youngster to acquire that treasure for the clan.” The old man then stood silently and looked at all the youngsters with a piercing gaze. “Although, the treasure may not be suitable for man that acquired it, it can be exchanged to contribution points or a new weapon suitable to that man. Many minor clans will be competing for that treasure and the major clans would also send their disciples to compete for it. Do not let down your clan, do not lose face for your ancestors, fight fairly and acquire that treasure.” The old man said in a loud voice and he struck the ground with his cane. The cane emitted a blinding light towards the sky and roars of disciple could be heard about five kilometers away. All the youngsters were pumped, their blood was boiling for a battle. Soon, the youngsters left and headed straight to look for the treasure.

The Ming’s clans compound had a similar atmosphere and so did the Fire school compound. These were outpost of the Ming clan and Fire school territory, these were set up to monitor the change happening throughout the region. Almost every big Clan or Sect would have a compound or a training area in neighboring territories.

Shi Clan on other hand was in an entirely different mood. They were hostile towards the Long Clan and the treasure had appeared in their territory. This had angered many elders of Shi Clan. Some even suggested that they infiltrate the Long territory and acquire the treasure.

“Those lizard bastards sure have decent luck. Next time I see any of their disciples, I will slaughter them all regardless of Superiority.” An elder yelled as he slapped his palm on the table.

“No leys disguise some core disciples and send them along with inner disciples. If they are killed by one of the elders of the Long clan, we can immediately go to war and crush them. After all they don’t know that we are being supported by a minor royal house.” Another elder said in a sinister tone.

“Great. Do just that. Let’s see how they react.” An elder said as he sent some servants to the core region to get some of the core disciples. Soon, a legion of students was gathered and sent into Long territory.

The purple clouds often represented an opportunity, an opportunity to rise above your peers. The opportunities often were accompanied with risks. In some weaker regions, the purple clouds represented a calamity and death. The clouds in these regions were called blood clouds. The name was given by a weak cultivator who had journey to one of these locations and found the entire ground littered with bodies and the soil was dyed red. The survivors of these large-scale battles were often known to reach great heights and have better mentality than their peers. The cultivator who participated in such battles either emerged stronger or perished all together. Clan allowed their young cultivators to participate in such bloods because they wanted their next generation to sharp and decisive. As the cultivator of all groups rushed towards the location of the tribulation site, Lan Long and the girls were headed away from it.

The hamster travelled at an extreme speed for five days straight as they stopped for some rest. During the journey, Lan Long had his soul sense activated all the time. He had discovered a large group of cultivators and told Little Kong to change direction to avoid any detection. Little Kong had to travel at double his usual speed which was why they had stopped for a day’s rest. The stop at which they stopped was about an hour away from a settlement, the maximum cultivation was of mid Ki condensing realm.

“Su Ming, there is a settlement ahead. We can go there and rest for a night before heading to Salamander city.” Lan Long suggested.

“Okay, but wouldn’t we be discovered?” Su Ming questioned. She was still worried about the pursuit of many strong cultivators.

“It’s okay. If we don’t need to be worried about such a thing at such a place.” Lan Long said as he picked Little Kong and stuffed him in his sleeve. The group soon reached the settlement and were greeted with an assortment of looks. The girls were being admired while Lan Long was being suspected of lechery. Su Ming stopped a young man.

“Brother, we are tired from a long journey. We all would be grateful, if you could guide us to a place to stay.” Su Ming said as she offered the man a piece of gold. The man’s eyes brightened as he looked at the gold and politely lead the group away.

“Grandma, Grandma. We have some guests.” The young man shouted at the house. The went and banged at the door. An elderly lady came out of the house holding a walking stick. “Grandma, look these people are tired from a long journey. Can we let them stay at our back house? Please.” The young man went closer and held the old ladies hand.

“What did they offer you?” Old Lady asked the young man.

“A piece of gold.” He man said with a red face. The old lady sighed and waved at the group. She then led the group to a small house at the edge of her courtyard. She then opened the door and left. Before leaving she looked intently at Lan Long for a few seconds and left. Lan Long on other hand was startled as he felt an immense soul sense wash over him. He immediately looked at the retreating figure of the lady. The old woman stopped and turned her head towards him, she had a wise smile on her face.

“Lady, this house hasn’t been cleaned in years. How. . .” one of the girls immediately began to throw a fit but before she could complete her sentence. Lan Long had firmly placed his hand over her mouth.

“Which is why we can clean it ourselves.” Lan Long continued in her place. The old lady let out a laugh as she turned and left.

“Brother Lazy, why did you do that. Even said we would clean the house our self.” Su Ming asked as he removed his hand from the lady’s mouth.

“That lady is a cultivator and a monstrously strong one at that.” Lan Long said in a low voice.

“What level did she reach? I couldn’t even feel her Ki.” Su Ming asked.

“At least a peak Heavenly pellet or a Core cultivator.” Lan Long answered as he let out a sigh. This was the first-time Lan Long was facing such a strong cultivator. The Old Lady was strong enough to kill him, with a fart aimed at his general direction.

“We should escape.” Su Ming said in a low voice. She was feeling very depressed. This journey was full of one life threatening situation to another.

“No need. If she had wanted to kill us, she could have done it by now and we wouldn’t even have had to even realized that we were dead.” Lan Long said calmly. Soon, they tidied up the rooms and relaxed on the beds available. Lan Long on the other hand, didn’t dare relax his senses but he was too afraid to search with his soul sense. He concentrated on his senses instead. After a while, he found a strange area where wind parted and couldn’t flow through this area. This was located in the yard outside the house provided by the old lady. Lan Long got up and went straight to her location stood behind her. She was looking at the stars.

“Child, you have a very peculiar Ki and so does your rat.” She said without looking at Lan Long.

“It is from the technique I practice, senior.” Lan Long said politely.

“Oh, What a strange technique. Mind telling this old lady the name of the technique you practice.” Old lady finally turned and looked at Lan Long. There was a smile on her face.

“Senior, I practice the Nature’s Way.” Lan Long answered truthfully.

“Mm, it truly is a mysterious technique. No wonder, I wasn’t able to recognize it.” The old Lady mused. “By the way, how is that old lizard?” She asked Lan Long. Lan Long was perplexed, he did not any old person or an elder in the clan that went by this name.

“Senior, forgive this junior. I do not know anyone of such a name.” Lan Long replied, politely.

“Hmm, call that rat out. I want to look at it.” The lady asked.

“Senior, this is Little Kong. He is my pet hamster.” Lan Long replied, fished out Little Kong out of his sleeve and kept it in his on his palm as he went closer to the old lady.

“What a peculiar beast, it has the potential of a Violet spirit rat.” The old lady said as she handed Little Kong a dry fruit. Little Kong immediately chomped into it and began to eat. Old lady was surprised to see such a cute side to an otherwise fierce beast. She petted the hamster’s head and handed him another fruit.

“Senior, what is a Violet spirit rat?” Lan Long questioned. He had never heard of such a beast before.

“It’s a celestial beast with a purple fur and has incredible potential. They could with a hundred percent certainty pass the celestial tribulation.” The Lady explained.

“Where did you find him?” The lady asked. She knew that these existed only inside the core region of beast mountain and a few were either inside desolate forest or the grave mountains.

“I found in my back yard.” Lan Long said with a red face.

“How? I know you are telling the truth but still, this is just hard to believe.” The lady lost her composure for a while but quickly regained her calm face. “Hmm, if you ever meet Yi Long tell this in the exact words ‘Old flower still stomps on your lizard tail’ hahaha. Leave whenever but do not disturb me unnecessarily, also there is a hot spring 100 kilometers towards the East in an underground cave. It’s good for cultivation, do go there and be careful of beasts.” The old lady said as she disappeared into thin air. Lan Long returned to his room and soon fell asleep.
