Chapter 720: The Flickering Pendant

Lu Ran didn't expect that this separation from his girlfriend would last a full month.

Throughout the winter month of the lunar calendar, Yunhai Cliff was almost shrouded in fog, and the advancements of Protector Conglong, Protector Da Da Mengyan, and the Ran Sect Madam came one after another.

One Pseudo-God stone sculpture after another cultivated day and night, relying on mutual support and extreme diligence to climb upward.

Under such rich divine power conditions, Qiao Yuanxi's previous bragging about reaching the peak within a month was achieved even earlier.

It was just that after reaching the peak, wanting to improve further, effort alone was not enough.

Whether it was Fish Changsheng at the peak of the Sea Realm or Qiao Yuanxi at the peak of the River Estuary Realm, they all needed to polish their Dao hearts.

They needed an insight.

This kind of thing was mysterious and varied from person to person; Lu Ran had the heart but not the strength.

However, Lu Ran believed in Mr. Conglong's wisdom and trusted Little Yuanxi's spiritual roots, so he wasn't too worried and just waited for the good news.

Throughout the winter month, Yunhai Cliff suffered several invasions by angry sea flame dragons.

Lu Ran also took the opportunity to wash his blade again and again.

The Eight Desolations Blade was very satisfying!

The number of times the Yunhai Blade vibrated had increased significantly, but Lu Ran didn't think this was the credit of dragon blood.

He knew clearly which node this change in the Yunhai Blade originated from.

It was precisely the day Peak Master Tu wiped out the sect!

Lu Ran made a decision: stand above the Forbidden City and wait for the Heaven Realm expert to arrive.

From that moment on, the Yunhai Blade seemed to have entered a brand new stage.

It often gave Lu Ran feedback.

Yet it lacked an opportunity for transformation.

Lu Ran knew that this Yunhai Dust-Clearing Blade probably needed the life of a Heaven Realm expert to sacrifice!

Or rather, it needed a sufficiently qualified "cloud sea" for this blade to gather its artifact spirit and take shape.

It couldn't be rushed.

Over the past month, the forces under the Ran Sect had all developed quite well.

The Forbidden City had gained a firm foothold and was once again accepting refugees.

Tiangang City at the foot of the Liyuan Sect had been built, and the Zhenyue Hall and Baizhan Hall, which served as reinforcements outside, had returned to the sect, bringing the experience learned from the Forbidden City to guard the newly built ancient city.

Jingxian Mountain had always been peaceful, and the Xun Luo couple had not failed Lu Ran's expectations, supporting a piece of sky in the southern coastal area.

The development of the Ran Sect was flourishing, which made Lu Ran feel very gratified, and his state of mind was incomparably smooth.

So smooth that Lu Ran felt something was wrong!

After all, the Holy Lingshan was not a place of smooth sailing.

Lu Ran even began to be suspicious, feeling that something "big" was waiting for him...

The 29th day of the winter month, at dusk.

The night was quiet, and the sea breeze blew over the peaceful Yunhai Cliff.

In the backyard of Yunhai Residence, a bonfire was lit.

The dancing firelight reflected on the relaxed and comfortable faces, making this scene look exceptionally warm.

This bonfire party was organized by Little Yuanxi.

Celebrating Sister Ruyi's exit from seclusion today, and by the way, celebrating for Fish Changsheng and Deng Yuxiang as well.

The number of invited people was not large; besides the two protectors Conglong and Da Da Mengyan, most of them were little partners.

That is, Si Xianxian, Deng Yutang, Bai Manni, Tian Tian, and Niu Zhengzheng.

For this, Lu Ran specially went to the Mud Pig Forest and brought back a 600-700 catty mud mountain pig...

"Mmm, delicious, delicious~"

Qiao Yuanxi held a piece of roasted pork belly and said vaguely.

Her rosy little mouth was stained with golden grease, and that greedy little look made Jiang Ruyi laugh secretly.

"Eat slowly." Jiang Ruyi's finger wiped across the corner of Qiao Yuanxi's mouth.

"Mm, mm." Qiao Yuanxi nodded repeatedly, picking up the roasted pork belly and taking another bite.

Golden, crispy, and full of meat fragrance.

Lu Ran's expression was strange, always feeling that his sister was doing it on purpose.

Little Yuanxi seemed to enjoy Jiang Ruyi's care for her, deliberately eating until her mouth was oily?

Beside her, Bai Manni leaned on Deng Yutang's shoulder, looking at Qiao Yuanxi with some envy.

As a River Estuary Realm person, it was difficult for her to be at ease in front of Lu Ran, Jiang Ruyi, and others.

Bai Manni was both envious and confused, not knowing why the Ran God's sister could be so relaxed and comfortable.

Bai Manni could feel that Deng Yutang, who was sitting beside her, was trembling a little.

Hm... well, Deng Yuxiang was next to Deng Yutang, so he should indeed be trembling.

From this point of view, her husband was still very reliable.

Using his thick body to shield her from the terrifying aura of the elder sister, he built a simple shelter for Bai Manni.

"Young Master."

"Hm?" Lu Ran turned around and looked up, seeing Si Xianxian.

"Can you move over there?" Si Xianxian whispered.

Lu Ran snorted, but still made room for the maid.

Si Xianxian hurriedly sat beside Jiang Ruyi and picked up a wooden branch, biting down hard on the pork belly on it.

Also oily at the corners of her mouth, and then looked at the Madam with eager eyes.

Lu Ran rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Heh." Jiang Ruyi smiled and glared at Si Xianxian, "Eating until your mouth is full, what does that look like."

Si Xianxian:?

Isn't this purely differential treatment?

She is the Lu family's daughter, so I really am the Lu family's maid?

"Haha~" Fish Changsheng couldn't help but laugh, earning a fierce glare from the Si maid.

Fish Changsheng immediately covered his face with a paper fan, trying hard to hold back his laughter.

Lu Ran looked over and smiled: "Mr. Conglong has been advancing for half a month, how is the insight?"

"Returning to Sect Master, I am still working hard." Fish Changsheng suddenly remembered something and said, "Sect Master, can you tell me in advance next time you upgrade the ink carp stone sculpture?"

"Hehe~" Lu Ran smiled embarrassedly.

The advancements of Deng Yuxiang and Jiang Ruyi had a gap of a few days. Lu Ran took the opportunity to go out to sea, recycled the Xiao Xiao Mo Li team and the Sea Jiaoren team, and rebuilt a new patrol team.

In this process, the Xiao Xiao Mo Li Yemo Yemo Xiesu in Lu Ran's sculpture garden advanced, rushing toward the 3rd stage of the Sea Realm.

The 3rd stage of the Sea Realm was obviously not matching Mr. Conglong's strength realm.

Lu Ran didn't return, but continued to head toward the sea, slaughtering the ink carp group and the sea jiaoren group.

Compared to the Sea Jiaoren Yemo Yemo Xiesu, the Xiao Xiao Mo Li Yemo Yemo Xiesu was obviously easier to cultivate.

Because you could easily judge the strength realm of the ink carp clan by their body size.

Lu Ran hid his form, flashed and wandered in the far sea and deep sea, activating the Fire Heavenly Pivot, holding the Jade Ruyi, releasing one after another terrifyingly scaled Immortal Heavenly Pythons, specializing in slaughtering the leaders of the ink carp group!

Until the Ran Sect disciples sent a transmission saying that fog was rising on the cliff again, Lu Ran returned to continue guarding.

Unfortunately, the Xiao Xiao Mo Li Yemo Yemo Xiesu failed to advance to the Heaven Realm, eventually settling at the 5th stage of the Sea Realm.

"It's a deal, next time for sure." Fish Changsheng's eyes were dim, looking at his Sect Master, "Fish has been trembling in public, which is somewhat losing face."

"Eh!" Lu Ran agreed, a bit unable to withstand Fish Changsheng's gaze, and hurriedly changed the subject, "The Xiang Xiang Xianyang said..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone sitting around the bonfire became quiet, and pairs of eyes looked at Lu Ran in unison.

The word "Xiang Xiang Xianyang" obviously had great lethality to everyone!

Lu Ran's expression also became more serious: "The Xiang Xiang Xianyang once told me that as long as the level is high enough, one can fuse with the stone sculpture.

I once asked what specific realm was needed, and the Xiang Xiang Xianyang said..."

Under everyone's gaze, Lu Ran spoke slowly:

"Need to be very, very high!"

Everyone: "..."

If there weren't so many people around, Si Xianxian would really want to "Tsk~" at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran changed the subject: "But I think, Heaven Realm should be enough."

Fish Changsheng shook his paper fan gently and nodded slightly.

Lu Ran's eyes were full of encouragement, looking at the handsome military advisor: "Wait for Mr. Conglong to advance to the Heaven Realm, I will go out to sea for another round and push the Xiao Xiao Mo Li Yemo Yemo Xiesu up!

Let's see if the human flesh can truly fuse with the stone sculpture."

Deng Yuxiang said softly: "Mr. Conglong must cultivate insights hard."

Fish Changsheng turned his head, showing a look of inquiry.

Deng Yuxiang rarely had a smile for outsiders, but it was mostly provocative: "I also really want to be the first person to eat crab."

"Hehe." Fish Changsheng laughed dumbly, not thinking that Deng Yuxiang simply wanted to try new things.

It seemed that the Da Da Mengyan Protector wanted to open a path for the Sect Master's cause.

Wanting to be the first Pseudo-God stone statue under Lu Ran.

However, I am afraid it will disappoint the Da Da Mengyan Protector.

Fish Changsheng shook his paper fan gently, with a smile on his face.

Fish, too, really wants to be the first Pseudo-God stone statue under the Sect Master!

"Brother!" Qiao Yuanxi suddenly spoke.

"Hm?"

"Fusing with the stone sculpture, does it become a pure energy body?"

"Should be."

Qiao Yuanxi looked at Jiang Ruyi, then at Lu Ran, opened her mouth, looking like she wanted to say something but stopped.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ran was very curious.

Qiao Yuanxi steeled her heart and asked in a low voice: "Then if you and Sister Ruyi become pure energy bodies, can you still have little babies?"

Lu Ran:???

Jiang Ruyi: "..."

For a time, everyone by the bonfire had strange expressions, and their expressions were very wonderful.

Jiang Ruyi's beautiful eyes flowed, and she swept a glance at Qiao Yuanxi coldly.

"Mm." Qiao Yuanxi shrank her neck in fright, her voice getting smaller and smaller, "I just asked, I want a little nephew or niece to play with... mm."

Following that, Si Xianxian also shrank her neck.

She didn't know where she was wrong, but Jiang Ruyi's aura and eyes...

Anyway, Si Xianxian felt that she was wrong.

"I don't know!" Lu Ran scratched his head, his expression strange, "Should be able to, right? The Demon minions I create all have flesh and blood bodies.

Although they are energy bodies in essence, all the structures of the flesh are complete..."

Jiang Ruyi's face gradually flushed with a blush, and she turned her eyes to Lu Ran.

"Cough, cough." Lu Ran coughed twice, "Besides, you've become a God, not to mention omnipotent, at least the abilities that humans possess, Gods should also be able to... that thing! Give me the meat, I'm hungry."

"Here~" Tian Tian hurriedly picked up a skewer of roasted pork belly and handed it to Lu Ran.

Fish Changsheng timely relieved the situation: "Sect Master, what is the focus of our Ran Sect's work next?"

"You all just develop the subordinate forces well at home, the main task is still your own cultivation and insights." Lu Ran took the roasted meat, "I will continue to head west."

Qiao Yuanxi's heart moved: "Head west?"

Lu Ran bit down a piece of meat: "Mm, starting from Jingxian Mountain, explore westward, traveling light."

There were some people,

He hadn't found yet.

The central Forbidden City, the southern Tiangang City, the Qianzhou Island in the southeast, and the Yunhai Cliff and Jingxian Mountain near the East and South Seas.

The radiation range of these areas was very wide, yet he still couldn't wait for the people Lu Ran wanted.

Since that was the case, he would go to the southwestern region of the Holy Lingshan continent to take a look!

"Brother!"

Hearing this word again, Lu Ran felt his scalp tingle! He was afraid that his sister would say something shocking again.

Qiao Yuanxi's eyes flickered: "I am already at the peak of the River Estuary Realm, don't want to cultivate bitterly, just need an insight."

Once the words reached this point, everyone already understood what she meant.

"Brother~" Qiao Yuanxi got up and knelt beside Lu Ran, hugging his arm and shaking it coquettishly, "I can only close the door and build a car at home, and you are going to explore, not to the battlefield, take me with you!

Brother, you are so strong now, I will be very safe by your side... hm?"

Qiao Yuanxi's words stopped, and she looked down.

Lu Ran was also surprised, looking at her neck.

The tiny diamond pendant worn on the divine power bead string she wore quietly lit up with a deep blue luster...
