Chapter 1609: Chapter 1609: The Psychopath Is So Full of Energy
"Alright, I promise you, once we find Huayue and the others, I’ll help you unlock the seal on this scroll." Han Yan said.
She and Jiang Qiling were both rivals and allies, sharing mutual admiration, and she held no ill feelings towards Jiang Yunhe and the others. In essence, it was merely a difference in ideology. Jiang Yunhe and Jiang Qiling, father and daughter, had already left Long Yan Academy and were wandering the world. Now that they were separated, and Jiang Qiling was without support, Han Yan wouldn’t mind lending a hand for Huayue and the others’ sake.
However, she had just observed that the scroll’s seal was too intricate, and even for her, it would be difficult to unlock it quickly. Huayue and the others were in constant danger, so naturally, finding them was the priority.
"Alright." Jiang Qiling had no doubt about Han Yan’s words.
Jiang Qiling got up off the ground, leading Han Yan and the others in the direction they had come from. Although she had been quite scared before, thinking of her father’s safety left her with no hesitation or fear.
"Lan Feng, why don’t you lead them to the Heavenly Curtain first?" Han Yan said to Ye Lanfeng.
Jiang Qiling’s direction was deviating from their original path, and Han Yan did not want the search for Huayue and the others to delay their journey. She already sensed that after a tidal-like downturn, the Heaven and Earth Power of North Abyss Misty Plain was gradually strengthening again. The longer the delay, the worse it would be for Zhuang Ping’an and the others.
"No need, we’ll go together." Zhuang Ping’an said, and then he added, "Huayue and the others are not only your friends but also ours, partners."
"Indeed, we’ll go together." Sang Qinghe and the others echoed without hesitation.
"Alright then, everyone be careful." Hearing them, Han Yan felt secretly touched and did not deny it.
On further thought, unless it reached the point of life and death, Ye Lanfeng would not easily take action. Following her seemed safer anyway. And with the newly comprehended Innate Divine Ability, she could unify the combat power of Zhuang Ping’an and the others, enhancing the sword power tenfold or hundredfold. Even if they faced danger, they should handle it.
"By the way, you seem to have grown a lot stronger?" As they walked, Jiang Qiling whispered to Han Yan.
"There has been some improvement, but you are doing well too." Han Yan said modestly, not wanting to discourage her.
Since leaving Long Yan Academy, Han Yan’s power had been rising steadily, while Jiang Qiling’s improvement was minimal. If Jiang could once have fiercely competed with her, Jiang Qiling now was definitely no match.
"You don’t need to comfort me, I know my strength is a lot further behind now, but one day, I will catch up to you." Jiang Qiling said with determination.
Such unyielding Jiang Qiling, always reminded Han Yan of the Little Witch Long Yan she was familiar with.
"You are absolutely right!" From behind, Zhao Sinin’s determined voice suddenly sounded.
Jiang Qiling gave Zhao Sinin a strange look, not understanding why he was interrupting.
"Although you’re strong, one day I will kill you to avenge Ling Xian!" Zhao Sinin said, staring intently at Han Yan, full of spirit.
"Who is this guy?" Jiang Qiling gave Yue Sinning a glance, feeling even more puzzled.
The meaning in his words was clear; this man was deeply resentful of Han Yan. Why would she leave such an enemy by her side?
"My name is Zhao Sinin, the future strongest peak expert of the Holy Court Continent!" Zhao Sinin said proudly.
"Never heard of you." Jiang Qiling shrugged, clearly unconvinced by Zhao Sinin’s words.
"Sinin, did you forget to take your medicine?" Han Yan asked with concern, knowing from his spirited gaze that he was not quite right.
"What medicine?" Zhao Sinin asked, puzzled.
"The elixirs I gave you last time." Han Yan replied.
"Ah, I finished them long ago." Zhao Sinin said after thinking for a moment.
It was just as she thought; no wonder he was so spirited—his divine madness had flared up again.
"Here’s a bunch of elixirs for you; remember to take one every day, on schedule." Han Yan handed over a pile of Jade Bottles to Zhao Sinin.
"Taking these elixirs makes my spirit feel not too good." Zhao Sinin said.
Obviously, after taking the medicine, the divine madness doesn’t act up, so his spirit doesn’t feel as good.
"Trust me, these elixirs are beneficial for you; you must not stop the medication." Han Yan said seriously.
"Okay then, if you’re trying to harm me, there’s no need to waste elixirs. I’ll trust you again." Zhao Sinin accepted the elixirs. Indeed, when the divine madness flares up, not only does the spirit improve but clarity comes as well.
"But one day I will still kill you, to avenge Ling Xian, um... when my power surpasses yours." Zhao Sinin added forcefully, then rejoined the group.
"Does this guy have problems in his head, mental issues?" Jiang Qiling realized Zhao Sinin was somewhat abnormal, and after he withdrew, she softly asked Han Yan.
"Shh, quiet, didn’t you notice how good his spirit is?" Han Yan questioned.
"Really pitiful." Jiang Qiling understood Han Yan’s point, glanced at Zhao Sinin, and said sympathetically.
Pitiful? Han Yan also looked at him; why did she feel this version of Zhao Sinin was more charming than before?
Chatting with Han Yan, Jiang Qiling accelerated her pace forward.
Han Yan was a bit surprised; she could lead Zhuang Ping’an and the others leisurely through North Abyss Misty Plain was due to cultivating the Divine Martial Refining Soul Technique and taking the Phoenix Heart Stone, greatly enhancing her Divine Sense. Jiang Qiling was not as strong as her, nor should her Divine Sense be as powerful. How was she able to move so easily?
Noticing Han Yan’s puzzled gaze, Jiang Qiling extended her hand, revealing her wrist adorned with an intricate bracelet. The bracelet seemed neither gold nor jade, engraved with runes and was clearly an Alchemy Magical Tool.
"This is the Seven Spirit Divine Heart Bracelet, jointly refined by my father and Uncle Tu; it can significantly consolidate Divine Sense." Jiang Qiling explained.
"Dean Jiang truly lives up to being one of the top three experts of Long Yan Academy, able to refine such a strange treasure." Han Yan said with admiration.
She was more aware than anyone of the degree to which Divine Sense had to be enhanced to penetrate the dense mist of North Abyss Misty Plain. The Seven Spirit Divine Heart Bracelet, refined by Jiang Yunhe, in a certain sense, could be considered a Divine Artifact.
"It’s not as impressive as you think. Even with this Seven Spirit Divine Heart Bracelet’s aid, I only have a fifty percent chance of seeing through this mist, hence being forced to flee from that Fierce Stone Demon earlier. The reason I appear easily is just because I’ve traveled this path once already.
Also, the Seven Spirit Divine Heart Bracelet can only be used in the North Abyss Misty Plain, relying on its complete Heaven and Earth Power to replenish Spiritual Power, and once used, it consumes a lot. Using it for two hours requires five to six hours to recharge its Spiritual Power." Jiang Qiling initially showed off her Seven Spirit Divine Heart Bracelet, but upon hearing Han Yan’s earnest praise, she felt embarrassed to continue boasting, and said shly.
At this point, Jiang Qiling suddenly stopped walking.
