Chapter 641

"Sect Leader." Qin Yanzhi walked out of the bamboo house, "Master Lu is not at home; looking at the furnishings in the house, since we parted last month, he hasn't returned either."

Lu Ran nodded, having been mentally prepared for a long time.

Jiang Ruyi said: "Aren't you going to invite us in to sit for a while?"

"Ah!" Qin Yanzhi stepped aside apologetically, "Sect Leader, Lady, please."

The bamboo house was very small, and the layout inside was also very simple; there wasn't even a partition, just this one room.

There was a bamboo bed on the east and west sides, and a bamboo table and a few bamboo chairs in the center of the room.

As simple as the house was, the bamboo carvings were that exquisite!

Jiang Ruyi's eyes lit up!

On the bamboo table, there were cylindrical bamboo cups, on which various landscape patterns were carved.

The exquisite carving technique was breathtaking.

Jiang Ruyi picked up a bamboo cup and looked at the small house in the bamboo forest.

Isn't this exactly the Cloud Bamboo Stream where everyone is?

"If Lady likes this bamboo carving, I will give it to you." Qin Yanzhi said immediately.

"You carved it?" Jiang Ruyi slowly turned the bamboo cup.

She saw that in the exquisitely carved bamboo forest, she could even see the figures of Bamboo Wood Demons.

Not lurking insidiously, but gathered together in twos and threes, gesturing at something, looking silly.

Quite vivid.

"Yes, I learned it from Master Lu; my technique is not refined." Qin Yanzhi looked ashamed.

"You are humble." Jiang Ruyi put down the bamboo cup.

"Our General Qin is probably not being humble." Beside him came Lu Ran's voice.

The two in the center of the room turned their heads to look to the left.

Lu Ran was standing beside the bamboo bed on the west side, looking at the bamboo cup on the small shelf.

It wasn't a landscape scene, but a portrait.

This was a middle-aged woman; her eyes were lowered, her hair like a waterfall scattered on her shoulders, her smile carried a faint gentleness, and a gentle aura came toward them.

It left Lu Ran marveling.

It was hard to imagine that he could see "temperament" in a handicraft.

The woman's appearance wasn't very pretty, but she was truly beautiful.

Qin Yanzhi introduced: "This is Master Lu's wife, but Master Lu has never said the Master's wife's name."

Jiang Ruyi walked up and appreciated it carefully.

Lu Ran tilted his body and nudged Jiang Ruyi's shoulder: "Are you worried that she will suddenly look up at the two of us?"

"Hehe~" Jiang Ruyi couldn't help but laugh.

"Sect Leader, you just said General?"

"Right! There are several sequences in our Ran Sect, the Four Great Protectors, the Eight Great Generals, etc." Lu Ran turned to look at the young man, "You are the fifth General."

Qin Yanzhi was horrified in his heart.

He is at the Sea Realm, Second Stage!

According to normal thinking, those who can live up to the word "General" and can keep pace with him must also be vast seas!

And listening to Lu Ran's meaning, there is a Protector sequence above the General?

This Ran Sect...

Is hiding dragons and crouching tigers?!

Thinking about it, the Sect Leader is strong to this extent and has the ambition to pierce the sky, so there must be countless experts under his command!

"What do you say, Brother Qin?" Lu Ran asked with a smile, "Are you willing to accept the title of General?"

Qin Yanzhi was happy in his heart and immediately cupped his fists: "The Sect Leader thinks highly of me; my subordinate will definitely not live up to this name."

Relying on each other with his mentor, seeing Lu Ran, he could be considered to have another big reliance.

Master Lu is indeed very strong.

But he is like a dragon that sees its head but not its tail.

Lu Ran and the Ran Sect under his command are standing there solidly!

With the title of "Ran Sect General," there must be many companions who take care of each other.

"Good!" Lu Ran looked at Qin Yanzhi with a smile.

Perhaps, Qin Yanzhi really rarely has contact with people...

But the other party's various reactions and behaviors, even if he hadn't eaten pork, he probably hadn't seen pigs run less!

Qin Yanzhi couldn't help but probe: "The first four Generals must also be Sea Realm?"

Lu Ran nodded and shook his head.

Qin Yanzhi was a bit confused.

Lu Ran: "They are indeed all Sea Realm, but there are not four."

Qin Yanzhi was even more confused: "Am I not the fifth General under the Sect Leader?"

Lu Ran shrugged his shoulders: "The Eight Great Generals have nine people; this is very normal, okay!"

Qin Yanzhi: "..."

Fine.

You are the Sect Leader, you have the final say!

After Lu Ran picked up the two guards, he stayed in Cloud Bamboo Stream for a few days.

During this period, everyone also strolled in the bamboo sea and slaughtered many Bamboo Wood Demons.

It is a pity that they couldn't wait for Lu Yuan to return home.

On the thirteenth of May, Lu Ran had to return to Cloud Sea Cliff.

The West Wilderness Great Phoenix had finally broken through the cultivation bottleneck after several days of closed-door cultivation and started the promotion mode!

Lu Ran naturally couldn't let go of such a good cultivation opportunity.

He ordered Shadow Three to stay behind in Cloud Bamboo Stream, and then led the team back to Cloud Sea Cliff.

According to the Shadow Guard team, the eldest and second sisters of the Zhong family still had the possibility of making further progress on the path of cultivation.

They should be able to return to the River Estuary Realm, Fourth Stage.

The youngest sister of the Zhong family had no hope; I'm afraid she could only stay at the River Estuary Realm, Third Stage for the rest of her life.

There is no way; the three Zhong sisters signed a master-servant contract with Lu Ran and worship the Evil Dog Evil Plastic Yan Shuangzi.

The three of them could not improve their cultivation aptitude.

Hmm... but it can't be that absolute.

After all, in this world, there still exists the means of "God's Blessing."

Once Lu Ran seizes a godhead, he can possess the technique of "Blessing."

At that time, he could temper the bodies and wash the marrow for his subordinates.

After returning to Cloud Sea Cliff, Lu Ran quickly entered a state of alert; while absorbing divine power on a large scale, he also escorted Xue Fengchen.

Jiang Ruyi went into closed-door cultivation.

Lu Ran only learned after returning that the Great Da Da Mengyan had gone into closed-door cultivation a step earlier.

These two girls both advanced in the twelfth lunar month of last year, one in the first ten days and one in the last ten days.

Counting the days, it was indeed time.

With Xue Fengchen's promotion as a lead, I hope they can successfully break through the cultivation shackles.

As for the newly joined General Qin Yanzhi, as early as when Lu Ran and Jiang Ruyi were staying in Cloud Bamboo Stream, he had already taken the Divine Weapon Silent Zhan Ye Dao to find his master.

The world is vast; finding one person is indeed a slim hope.

But it can be seen that Qin Yanzhi has true feelings for his mentor; he urgently wants to tell his mentor this good news.

Lu Ran and Jiang Ruyi did not stop him.

If Qin Yanzhi finds his mentor earlier, Lu Ran can go home earlier and report the results to Lord Xianyang.

The promotion of the Phoenix General went smoothly.

On the nineteenth of May, Xue Fengchen successfully came out of closed-door cultivation and specifically came to the edge of the Sea Cliff to report the good news to Lu Ran.

At that time, Cloud Sea Cliff was still filled with mist!

The Great Da Da Mengyan was in a state of promotion, rushing toward the Sea Realm, Third Stage!

Lu Ran also discovered that every year or so, the promotion of the Ran Sect soldiers could be linked together.

Because the promotion time of Sea Realm powerhouses is long enough, it can truly benefit many people.

Until the twenty-seventh of May, the mist in the cliff finally dissipated.

The Pseudo-God Night Charm came out of closed-door cultivation!

Deng Yuxiang, with the terrifying strength of the Sea Realm, Third Stage, at the age of twenty-three, caught up with the "old guys" in their mid-thirties like Xun Yifei and Shangguan Hongfu.

She also threw the Sea Realm, Second Stage powerhouses like the Color General, Qin General, and Phoenix and Swallow Generals behind her.

The so-called First Protector of the Ran Sect was finally going to live up to her name!

The only ones who can still suppress her now are the few people like the Dragon Protector and the Luo General.

Oh, right!

There is also a Great Martial Student, Wu Xiao!

Hmm... let's forget about this one.

This one is a bit too fierce~

It is a pity that Jiang Ruyi couldn't catch the ride; after the mist dissipated, Fairy Jiang was still concentrating on closed-door cultivation.

Lu Ran naturally didn't go to disturb her.

Since meeting Qin Yanzhi, Lu Ran's mentality had changed a bit; he wasn't so anxious, but wanted to keep cultivating, just waiting for the good news from the Silent Zhan Ye Dao.

Time flew by, and it was the beginning of June.

On this day, the Evil Shadow Protector brought a sinner to the edge of the Sea Cliff.

"Master." Yan Shuangzi looked at Lu Ran's back and called softly.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran didn't look back, his lower legs still dangling outside the cliff, swinging leisurely.

Cultivation doesn't necessarily require sitting upright.

Lu Ran is very good at finding joy in suffering.

"I want her to join the Shadow Guard team." Yan Shuangzi requested.

Lu Ran finally turned his head to look.

He saw the former North Wind disciple He Jing kneeling properly on the ground, respectfully lowering her head.

"Can you trust her?" Lu Ran asked.

This question was directed at Yan Shuangzi.

For Lu Ran personally, after this person signed a master-servant contract with the Evil Dog Evil Plastic, it was equivalent to being held by Lu Ran by the lifeblood.

Lu Ran only needed one thought to make her lose all her evil techniques.

And only one thought to make the other party die suddenly.

"Hmm." Yan Shuangzi nodded gently, "Her comprehensive quality is no worse than the three Zhong sisters, her martial arts are not bad, and she is qualified to join the Shadow Guard team.

I also want her to become an Evil Dog believer, and from now on follow me and worship me."

"Fine, as long as you have considered it well." Lu Ran's figure flashed and stood in front of the woman.

He lowered one hand and slowly closed his eyes.

"Whoosh!!"

An Evil God phantom suddenly expanded from his body.

The Evil Dog's nose tip overlapped with Lu Ran's palm and pressed toward the woman's head.

He Jing widened her eyes slightly.

She hadn't thought that after more than ten years, she could once again relive the feeling of signing a contract on the God-Worship Platform.

After just a few seconds, an Evil Dog disciple was born.

"From now on, you are Shadow Four." Yan Shuangzi said.

"Thank you, Sect Leader, for giving me a new life; I will loyally follow the two masters." He Jing lowered her head, the joy of becoming a believer again flashed by, and her eyes were full of deep awe.

Thinking back to the actions of the people on Blade Ridge Peak, she even felt a bit ridiculous.

A group of people who didn't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth actually imprisoned and tortured a future evil god...

During this period, she felt fortunate countless times, fortunate that she had once expressed a trace of kindness to the Evil God.

Yan Shuangzi looked at Lu Ran: "She was once at the peak of the River Estuary Realm, and after tearing up the contract, she fell to the River Estuary Realm, Third Stage.

Some time ago, when Yuxiang advanced, she also advanced to the River Estuary Realm, Fourth Stage."

"Oh?" Lu Ran was quite surprised.

This is a piece of very valuable information: can a person still improve their cultivation without a sect?

Everyone knows that ordinary people cannot cultivate divine power.

You have to sign a contract with a god on the God-Worship Platform and change your physique before you have the qualification to accept the magical power called "divine power."

Now it seems that after a person's body is transformed, even if they tear up the contract, they can still continue to climb upward as a "white body"?

"After all, she is a second-class god disciple; her aptitude is very high." Lu Ran sighed.

"Indeed, her aptitude is very high, and she can continue to grow." Yan Shuangzi said softly, "Master's Shadow Guard team cannot all be River Estuary Realm."

Lu Ran looked at the Evil Shadow Protector with a smile: "You just advanced to the Sea Realm, and you want to arrange a Sea Realm guard team for me?"

Yan Shuangzi said: "The Lady's two guards are both evil gods; they have no upper limit to their growth and will become stronger and stronger."

"Uh?" Lu Ran blinked.

He and little Ruyi are inseparable, not to mention those two evil gods, who also belong to Lu Ran.

But looking at Yan Shuangzi's posture, does she want to distinguish between high and low?

Lu Ran said: "Then I will also find you an evil god to join your Shadow Guard team?"

Yan Shuangzi's expression was serious: "Good!"

Lu Ran: "..."

Since her revenge was successful and she advanced to the Sea Realm, Yan Shuangzi had indeed changed a lot.

She dared to make requests, and the whole person had more radiance.

The proud personality of the past seemed to be gradually coming back.

Good, very good!

Lu Ran pondered for a moment and probed: "From now on, call me Sect Leader."

The two looked at each other.

For a long time, Yan Shuangzi ignored Lu Ran, just leaned over and patted Shadow Four's shoulder: "Let's go, I'll teach you how to protect him."

Shadow Four bowed to Lu Ran, then hurriedly chased after Yan Shuangzi and walked into the mountain forest.

Leaving Lu Ran pouting, standing in place blowing the sea breeze.

Report! The missing chapter will be made up tomorrow.

I'll get up at 6 o'clock tomorrow, I guarantee I can push out three chapters...
