After knocking the girl off, Qiang Feng sat beside her and opened the box. Inside the box there was a spatial ring, after checking, Qiang Feng couldn't help but to feel dispointed, it has several low level pills , a low level yellow grand blade and a few energy stone, it's not considered much , but again, this is only the fifth section , real expert wouldn't hide their precious inheritance in a place like this since they only want a true genius to find it.

Half an hour passed, the girl finally started showing a sign of waking up. She opened her eyes to see a young man with a golden hair who's smiling at her.

"Finally awake." Qiang Feng said.

"You!!", she exclaimed, "What did you do to me while I was knocked out?", tears could be seen on her eyes.

"What perveted thought do you have ? regardless of what happened , I am still fifteen years old, don't you dare to think that I will do such thing." Qiang Feng said.

Xiao Lan stared at him doubtfully, only after checking her body that she sighed in relief.

"See, I told you so." Qiang Feng said.

"To someone as evil as you who steals from people who are weaker than him, who knows what you would do to an unconscious women", Xiao Lan said.

Qiang Feng was astonished , even someone like him who just started his cultivation journey wasn't as naive as this girl , even if it wasn't a misunderstanding and he really stole from that person , he didn't see anything wrong with that. When someone enter this kind of places he is already putting his life on line .

He started staring at her, he would lie if he said that he wasn't annoyed by her character, *sigh*, Qiang Feng sighed then he suddenly released his aura," Should I just kill you ?", he said to her, then he grabbed his sword and started approaching her.

"You! what are you trying to do ? ", Xiao Lan screamed, " Stop, I am warning you.",nonetheless , Qiang Feng kept approaching her, fear started appearing on her face.

Qiang Feng stood in front of her while she was on her knees, he waved his sword on the sky then lunched an attack , just when the sword was about to hit her head , the sword stopped glowing .

"Heh?" , She opened her eyes which were originally shut from fear, and a look of confusion on her face.

" I know that I am in no position to advise you,but even so, I advise you to stop cultivating, you are too naive , you will eventually get screwed by this world", Qiang Feng said, he was only a fifteen years old boy, but in the last few months he changed and matured so much and started to adapt to the cultivation world.

Hearing this, Xiao Lan face darkened and a hint of sadness could be seeing on her face," You think that too ", she said , it seems like she already heard this kind of words before.

" It seems like someone else told the same words." Qiang Feng said.

"My master used to tell me the same thing" , she said, " But it's really hard , I am trying my best to not lose my humanity while pursuing the pat of power", Xiao Lan said and suddenly tears appeared on her face started crying.

Qiang Feng was puzzled, how can such a person exist in this world, in a world where only power speak, it was very rare to see good people, he himself wouldn't be considered a completely good person, for example if he saw someone getting robbed like in the situation before, he wouldn't go help them without any reason.

He stared at the extremely beautiful girl in front of him who was crying, then he remembered that he had no experience with women so he didn't know what to do in this situation. He then sat beside her ,"Hey why not stop crying and talk to me ."

"Someone like you wouldn't understand even if I told you" she said, and it was clearly refering to "bad people" like Qiang Feng.

"It seems like there a misunderstanding between us let me tell you what actually happened here", then Qiang Feng proceeded to tell what happened.

After listening to Qiang Feng , Xiao Lan face became red of embarrassment , " I am extremely sorry ," she said , she wished if she could turn invisible, that will spare her all the embarrassment.

" Its okay, nobody was heart anyway, what not tell me about yourself now", Qiang Feng was curious from where this came from , her apparence was so beautiful that she could make anyone fall for her , little Mo told him that her beauty is considered flawless and it's all due to the origin fluid Inside her body, even though it wasn't pure , it's still considered and extremely precious treasure that entire races could go to war just to get it.

" Fine I will tell you , it's not a secret anyway", Xiao Lan said , then she continued talking, "My master adopted me from a very young age , at that time my master was as beautiful as me, when I started cultivating at the age of 9 which means 8 years ago , my master did something mysterious to me which made me this beautiful but on the other hand she lost all her beauty, later my cultivation speed only increased, but that was until several months ago when my body started refusing absorbing any kind of pill or spiritual fruit of this world, and I could only absorb the energy from my surroundings , but still, even though my cultivation speed was affected, I could still cultivate at a very fast speed, but right now I hit a bottleneck and it's impossible for me to break through the next level".

Qiang Feng clearly knew what her master did to her and he also knew why her body refused to cultivate by using spiritual pills and other treasures, the origin fluid was a supreme treasure, even though the one in Xiao Lan body wasn't pure, it still couldn't tolerate the existence of other treasures than him , and the only way to her to keep cultivating is buy normal means.

" That's why I came here, my master told me that there is an opportunity for me to break through here, but I failed to seize it " Xiao Lan said," It's all because that dispicable dragon , I even begged him to give it to me but he still refused, " she shouted angrily.

Qiang Feng was surprised , did she meet the storm dragon too? But the only way to do so is by succeeding the advenced level of the first trial , but the only thing that was there to win is... then his spatial ring started glowing and the jade pendant that he won previously came out, " Do you recognise this jade pendant?" he asked.

"This!" , Xiao Lan was shocked, "How could you have? Did you win against that dispicable dragon."

Qiang Feng was puzzled , it seems that this jade pendant was really a treasure. " Do you know what it's used for", he asked.

" How could you not know and you are the one who have it" ,Xiao Lan was even more shocked, then she sighed," this is the principals protection jade pendant, I won't go in too much details, but with this you could survive in a higher world for an entire month without getting crushed by it pressure, the dragon race used is in the past to send their disciples to cultivate in the higher worlds".

Hearing this Qiang Feng eyes widened , he didn't know that this jade pendant could be this precious," Were you planning on using this to break through?" , he asked.

"Yes , a portal should be somewhere in this ancient site" , Xiao Lan said , and since Qiang Feng didn't ask her what is a higher world she assumed that he already knew of it existence.

Qiang Feng fell in a deep silent , cultivation in the higher worlds should be a one life opportunity , but he didn't know how much since it was only for one month,"little Mo what do you think", Qiang Feng asked.

Suddenly a voice came from the inside of his head," Master with the help of this jade pendant you would probably reach the third level of the enlightenment stage at most."

Reaching this level in a month was something that really tempted him , but he seems to have already another plan, " By the way what's your cultivation level?" , he already knew but he asked anyway to avoid future confusion.

"Don't be surprised but I am already at the peak of the divine sea stage." , Xiao Lan said proudly.

Qiang Feng started at her and gave her a surprised look then he said ," No way!".

Xiao Lan looked at him , she felt that something is wrong with his reaction but she couldn't tell what is it .

Qiang Feng naturally noticed her suspicious and he directly said," Do you want to make a deal with me?", he asked.

"What kind of deal do you want to make with me." Xiao Lan asked curiously.

" I will give you this jade pendant, but in return you should follow me until I reach the peak of the divine sea stage plus you should provide me with enough cultivation resources until I reach the third level of the enlightenment stage", Qiang Feng said

Hearing this, Xiao Lan was dumbfounded , she doubt that Qiang Feng was in his right mind , how could he give a precious treasure like this , and he wanted her to follow him, which it's basically her becoming his servant.

Qiang Feng on the other hand was praying that she agree, he already mad enemies and he is doomed to make even more, but with Xiao Lan help, he would have less things to worry about and with the resources that she could provide to him, it would only be a matter of time achieve the same results as cultivating in the higher worlds. Qiang Feng wouldn't mind cultivating for more few months if it could guarantee his safety.

" So what's you answer ? " Qiang Feng said.

Xiao Lan didn't know what to chose, in one hand she could cultivates in the higher and she would probably reach the first level of the divine fusion stage or even the second if she was lucky but on the other hand she would have to serve someone she doesn't even know. If someone else had the same suggestions he would definitely agree.

" I agree, but if you ever ask me to do something against my moral I wouldn't do it." , she finally mad up her mind.

" Don't worry, I am not that kind of people, following me isn't a bad thing either, I may be weak right now, but it's only a matter of time before I reach what's beyond the divine sea stage." Qiang Feng said , and it wasn't arrogance but confidence, he already knew that people like Heng An and Ling Huanling were known as pillars, these people not only they are very fast in term of cultivation but their overall strength is very strong, Heng An for example could even fight a second enlightenment stage expert without losing , and even had a small chance of winning, but for Qiang Feng be it six or seven levels of difference he could easily crush them , this shows that Qiang Feng already trescended this so called talent of this world.

"It's good to be confident , but you should make sure that it doesn't become arrogance, so what if you are supremely talented, your level is too low right now, even low level divine fusion stage could easily kill you if you offend them, do you know how many genius died through history before they fully mature? And what for ? Even if you have a formidable background some people out there are crazy and wouldn't care less, at the end of the day your own strength is what matters the most ", Xiao Lan said, it was as if the naive girl from before disappeared.

Qiang Feng naturally agreed, at the end of the day, ones strength is what matters the most, if talent could make people not offend him then why would he need to cultivate? He will need to work hard and do his best to achieve absolute strength , only then that he can look down on everybody, but right now he is only one of the many cultivators of this mortal world.
