Chapter 288

"Heh."

In the beam of light, Lu Ran trembled gently, even his breathing carrying a tremor.

This is too embarrassing!

He is a dignified Heaven's Pride, isn't this becoming a streamer on the edge?

Fortunately, Lu Ran was wearing a hat and mask, which could cover his shame a little.

He buried his head very low, holding the incense burner with both hands, trying hard to stand firm.

In the beam of light, bursts of irritable energy were injected into Lu Ran's body, extremely domineering!

"Mmm~" Lu Ran closed his eyes tightly and made an unclear sound.

His body was filled... filled up...

It's not that Lu Ran hadn't experienced a god's blessing.

But the small god statue at home would only release more immortal mist, surging toward Lu Ran's body and continuously expanding his meridians.

How had Lu Ran ever experienced such a wild pouring and drenching?

Is this the real blessing?

The energy injected into his body didn't follow conventional routes at all, like a great flood, destroying everything in its path.

Lu Ran suddenly realized that this blessing wasn't just to expand his meridians, but to thoroughly transform his human body?

Blood, flesh, skin, bones...

It really felt like "marrow washing."

"Cough, cough, cough, cough." Lu Ran lay in front of the incense burner, inhaling a noseful of incense mist through his mask.

Many people surged into the originally cold and clear courtyard.

There were pilgrims, Xiang Xianyang believers, and many soldiers.

Under normal circumstances, there are no military personnel stationed at the location of the main god.

Take Lord Bei Feng City as an example.

At the feet of the God Lord Bei Feng, there are few figures from the Great Xia officialdom, and even the Demon Cave guarded by Master Lord Bei Feng is guarded by Lord Bei Feng disciples.

The training fees for people entering the Demon Cave naturally have to be handed over to the Lord Bei Feng faction to better build Lord Bei Feng City.

But in this Lady Luo Xian Temple...

Well, there should indeed be military personnel stationed here.

How could Xiang Xianyang disciples have the ability to guard the Demon Cave?

"Is it really Lu Ran?"

"It must be him; who else could receive such favor from Master Xiang Xianyang?"

"The internet is right; Master Xiang Xianyang really dotes on the little junior brother."

"Don't call him that yet; what if Lu Ran doesn't like this title? Don't make him unhappy."

"Everyone be quiet, don't disturb Lu Ran."

The discussion disappeared quickly, and the Xiang Xianyang believers wearing Tai Chi uniforms spontaneously dispersed, persuading the people present to be quiet.

The beam of light descending from the sky lasted for a full hour!

"Whew!!"

Suddenly, a wave of wind spread from Lu Ran's body.

The incense ash in the burner flew all over the sky, and gray mist filled the air.

Lu Ran pressed his hands firmly on the incense burner, his head dizzy.

Jiang Jing, Fourth Stage!

Lu Ran advanced to the Jiang Jing, Third Stage, on the 14th day of the fourth lunar month, taking more than two months.

Today is the 6th day of the sixth lunar month; calculating it, this advancement took less than two months!

Another point: advancing from the second stage to the third stage and from the third stage to the fourth stage are naturally different in difficulty.

Lu Ran should have spent more time and energy, but with Master Xiang Xianyang's strong intervention, he was directly poured into an advancement...

"Tha, thank you, Master Xiang Xianyang, for the blessing."

Lu Ran relied on his remaining consciousness to say stutteringly.

At the beginning of marrow washing, Lu Ran could still think about problems; now, his brain was dizzy, and his body was soft.

With a "thud."

Lu Ran, who had persisted for an hour, finally fell to the ground like a pile of mud after the blessing ended.

"Lu Ran!"

"Lu Ran?" The Xiang Xianyang believers stepped forward one after another.

But in the next moment, everyone's expression changed, and their footsteps stopped.

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the twin blades behind Lu Ran were unsheathed, guarding his left and right.

The master's consciousness was blurred, but the divine weapons were full of spirit.

They also enjoyed the god's blessing, and the twin blades filled with energy were even faintly glowing.

"Little Rou." An old voice sounded.

"Grandpa?"

"Go and negotiate with the divine weapons, help little friend Lu up, and send him to the back mountain to recuperate."

"Okay." A woman pushed through the crowd: "Everyone, please make way."

She was just over 1.6 meters tall, looked twenty-four or twenty-five, also wore a Tai Chi uniform, and had her hair in a bun.

Her temperament was gentle and beautiful, her expression soft, looking at the pair of divine weapons protecting their master:

"Under the god's feet, no one dares to harm Heaven's Pride Lu, please rest assured."

Xia Guang and Ji Ye floated around Lu Ran, the cold light sharp, the momentum astonishing!

Such a scene made everyone extremely envious.

First for the power of the divine weapons, second for the loyalty of the divine weapons.

Who would dare to harm Lu Ran?

He wouldn't even need to do it himself; just these two divine weapons could wash Lady Luo Xian Temple in blood...

And such a scene was also captured by many pilgrims.

In contrast to the divine weapons, the pile of mud lying on the ground... well, it's really rotten~

The woman stepped forward, her voice gentle, persuading repeatedly.

The two divine weapons finally flew outward, increasing the defensive range and allowing the woman to enter.

"Junior Sister Cheng, the ground is cold, hurry up and help the little junior brother up."

"Little Rou, don't move him yet, ask about Heaven's Pride Lu's condition first."

People were talking all at once, but the divine weapons wouldn't allow others to approach.

"Heaven's Pride Lu?" Cheng Rou knelt on one knee and patted Lu Ran's shoulder cautiously.

Lu Ran didn't respond at all, as if he had already passed out.

Cheng Rou looked up at the Ji Ye blade: "There are many people here, I'll help your master to the back mountain to recuperate, okay?"

The Ji Ye blade hovered quietly, silent and motionless.

"Buzz~" Behind Cheng Rou, the Xia Guang blade trembled gently.

Cheng Rou immediately helped Lu Ran's arm and stood up.

The woman looked weak, but she was actually a proper believer, and her physical fitness was far beyond ordinary people.

She picked up Lu Ran's arm, wrapped it behind her neck, supported his waist with one hand, and walked out quickly.

"Whew~"

The Xia Guang blade and Ji Ye blade rotated around the two, clearing the crowd in front and preventing others from approaching.

Divine weapons clearing the way, the face is fully pulled!

Cheng Rou felt the novel experience and secretly glanced at Lu Ran.

Although Lu Ran was wearing a mask, Cheng Rou could imagine his profile.

After all, she had seen this face too many times on the internet.

Cheng Rou never expected that one day, she would be so honored to support this Great Xia Heaven's Pride.

"Uh." Lu Ran's body trembled slightly.

The god's blessing had ended, but the subsequent effects were still there.

Lu Ran's flesh and blood body seemed to be undergoing a slight change?

Cheng Rou hurriedly retracted her gaze and accelerated her pace toward the back mountain.

And behind the woman, hundreds of Xiang Xianyang believers followed closely, walking toward the back mountain in a mighty force.

Sun and moon revolved, the next morning.

Lu Ran opened his eyes in a daze and looked around confusedly.

Where is this?

Lu Ran was a little puzzled, looking at the antique room.

After a while, he realized that he had come to Lady Luo Xian Temple, and his memory stopped at the moment after Master Xiang Xianyang's blessing.

"Wow!"

Lu Ran supported himself with one hand on the wooden bed, and just as he sat up, he noticed something was wrong.

Vigorous energy filled his body, full of power.

The exuberant vitality made Lu Ran even more pleasantly surprised, as if he had changed into a new body.

The 18-year-old Lu Ran was already at a dragon-spirited and tiger-fierce age, with extremely vigorous energy and physical strength.

But at this moment, Lu Ran could clearly feel that his physical fitness had gone up a level.

Is this the power of a "genuine god's blessing"?

"Master Xiang Xianyang?" Lu Ran called softly, "Are you there?"

A low voice imprinted in his mind: "Too weak."

Lu Ran was originally full of joy, but hearing this sentence, his face stiffened.

Xiang Xianyang: "Your flesh is fragile and unbearable, only able to withstand a moment of nourishment.

Pitiful, sad."

Lu Ran: "..."

A moment?

Why do I feel like I stood in that beam of light for a long time?

If not three hours, it must have been two hours, right?

The dazed Lu Ran indeed had no concept of time; in fact, he only bathed in the beam of light for one hour.

The low voice came again: "Your flesh and blood body has been tempered by me.

Now your body is stronger, your meridians are widened, and your muscles and bones are tougher.

Your cultivation speed will also have a certain degree of improvement."

"Gulp." Lu Ran swallowed his saliva, not knowing how to thank him anymore.

Every word Master Xiang Xianyang said was deafening!

Just picking out a "stronger body," how much information does it include?

And even the cultivation speed will improve?

"Thank you, Master Xiang Xianyang!" Lu Ran suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, his eyes full of gratitude.

"You should adjust your physical and mental state, stabilize your strength realm, and in a few days, I will arrange for you to enter the Demon Cave."

"Yes!" Lu Ran responded immediately, then remembered something: "Master Xiang Xianyang, should I activate the Evil Mirror Demon evil sculpture?"

The Demon Cave guarded at the feet of the God Xiang Xianyang is not open to the public, and the demons produced in it are the Evil Mirror Demon race.

This race is quite rare and possesses a quite incredible technique—Mirror Flower Moon!

The effect of the evil technique Mirror Flower Moon can be described in two words: teleportation!

The only downside is that the cultivation conditions for this technique are relatively strict, and Lu Ran needs to advance to the River Estuary Realm to be qualified to learn it.

"Hmm, consider it yourself." The sound transmission descended again, the words brief.

The god's tone was not cold or hard; listening carefully, it seemed to have a sense of approval.

What else is there to say?

I must activate it!

With Master Xiang Xianyang's attitude, this move will certainly gain further recognition from it.

Lu Ran himself also coveted the teleportation method.

Previously in the Demon Cave Tomb of Generals, Lu Ran always thought about finding a storage bag, storage ring, or similar artifact to store the Night Charm.

If he had the teleportation method, Lu Ran could also solve the problem!

When not using the Night Charm, teleport her to a hidden corner.

When using her, pull the Night Charm out...

Wait a minute!

Lu Ran frowned slightly.

After all, the evil technique Mirror Flower Moon is a technique adapted to the River Estuary Realm.

Does this mean that Master Xiang Xianyang will wait until he advances to the River Estuary Realm before sending him to another world?

Hmm... this will be a bitter cultivation.

Lu Ran pursed his lips; he had always thought that after he figured out the combination of "paper figurine" and "scapegoat," Master Xiang Xianyang would loosen up.

Now it seems he still has to settle down and cultivate.

Lu Ran raised his hands, clenched them into fists, and slowly relaxed them, carefully feeling his reborn body.

Master Xiang Xianyang clearly stated that after the blessing, his cultivation speed would also improve.

"If I had known, I would have come here for the blessing earlier." Lu Ran muttered in a low voice.

"Heh." A sneer imprinted in his mind: "At that time, you could only withstand a moment of blessing.

Earlier?

You want to bleed from seven orifices and have your body destroyed?"

"No, no." Lu Ran was startled and shook his head repeatedly.
