Chapter 856: Haven't Played Yet

Wan Guiyuan's words were very arrogant.

To let a Transformation Stage cultivator reach Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection within fifty years, and reach the Integration Stage within a hundred years...

A Great Vehicle Stage cultivator might be able to do it if they went all out and exhausted their resources.

Beyond that, even a Void Refinement Stage cultivator would find it difficult to achieve.

Let alone a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator?

Upon hearing Wan Guiyuan's words, Liu Yanran's instinctive reaction was suspicion.

However, in the next thought, she remembered that Wan Guiyuan had already sworn a Heart Demon Oath.

No cultivator dares to make a joke of a Heart Demon Oath.

Since Wan Guiyuan dared to swear the oath, he must have some certainty.

Perhaps he had obtained some unknown, precious opportunity, who knows.

Thinking of this, the doubts in Liu Yanran's heart immediately dissipated; she waved her palm and put away the Hunyuan Awl.

Seeing this scene, Luo Ming's expression suddenly turned ugly, "Yanran, you..."

Liu Yanran looked at Luo Ming, her face showing an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Luo, Wan Guiyuan is right; for us cultivators, cultivation is the most important thing."

"But don't worry, I will not betray the sect, nor will I abandon you."

"I only need to break through to the Spirit Severing Mid Stage in a short time."

"Losing one chance to teach a mortal enemy a lesson in exchange for my rapid breakthrough—Senior Brother Luo, you should be happy for me."

Luo Ming's expression stalled.

"Wan Guiyuan, you are too hateful!"

Just at this moment, among Luo Ming's companions, a Transformation Stage cultivator suddenly looked at Wang Jianqiang with anger.

Hearing this person issue an angry curse without hesitation, Luo Ming felt a wave of relief.

However, before this relief could fully spread across his face, that person's voice sounded again, "Why not give us a chance? I can also promise not to deal with you."

"I don't need to break through in a year or two, as long as I can break through within five years, that's fine."

Luo Ming's expression stiffened.

At the same time, the people beside him had already exploded into a frenzy.

"That's right, Daoist Friend Wan, I can do it too."

"Daoist Friend Wan, I also want a Pill."

"Daoist Friend Wan, actually, I have always had opinions about Senior Brother Luo dealing with you."

Seeing his "good friends" all looking at Wan Guiyuan with eager faces, trying their best to curry favor.

Luo Ming's complexion had turned completely black.

Wang Jianqiang looked at Luo Ming with a smile, his gaze sweeping over the chattering crowd, "Sorry everyone, my Pills are limited; distributing them to Fairy Yanran alone is already the limit."

After Wang Jianqiang's voice fell, the noisy chatter suddenly disappeared.

After a moment of stagnation.

The crowd's eager expressions changed one after another, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into disgust and hostility.

"Abominable Wan Guiyuan, actually daring to deceive Junior Sister Yanran!"

"This person is truly shameless!"

"Senior Brother Luo, it doesn't matter if the Hunyuan Awl is gone, let's do it; we must teach him a good lesson."

"Senior Brother Luo, just now I was only tricking this Wan Guiyuan; as for your intention to teach Wan Guiyuan a lesson, I have actually always been in agreement."

Although the crowd's attitude had shifted back, Luo Ming's mood did not recover because of it.

With a dark face, he swept his gaze over the crowd, let out a cold snort, and his figure flashed and disappeared.

"Why did he leave? Are we not going to do it?"

The crowd looked at each other in dismay.

Immediately, they all looked at Wang Jianqiang with greedy faces, and then the greed on their faces turned into regret.

Without the Hunyuan Awl, and with Luo Ming having voluntarily withdrawn.

Given the rumored physical strength of Wan Guiyuan, they could no longer do anything to the other party.

They could only suppress the hope for a breakthrough in their hearts and turn to leave.

In the blink of an eye, only Liu Yanran remained at the scene.

After the crowd left, the originally somewhat arrogant and cold demeanor of Liu Yanran suddenly changed.

She came to Wang Jianqiang's side somewhat urgently, "Daoist Friend Wan, does what you just said still count?"

"Naturally, it counts."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded, "Since I have given my guarantee, I will certainly let the Fairy make a breakthrough within a year or two."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Liu Yanran shook her head.

She looked around, then looked at Wang Jianqiang, her expression revealing a trace of shyness amidst caution, and transmitted her voice, "I mean, Daoist Friend said before that if I followed you wholeheartedly, you would let me reach Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection within fifty years; does that still hold?"

Hearing Liu Yanran's voice transmission, Wang Jianqiang was stunned.

The smile on his face suddenly became rich.

"So that is what the Fairy was referring to."

"The Fairy is truly a person who knows how to be enterprising; I have always appreciated Fairies with a strong sense of ambition."

"Not bad, not bad~"

"Rest assured, as long as you can meet my conditions, I will certainly fulfill my promise."

Liu Yanran was overjoyed and continued to transmit her voice, "Many thanks, Daoist Friend Wan. I can stop associating with Luo Ming, and I can even break away from the Youyun Holy Land."

"I only ask that you, Daoist Friend, can fulfill your promise."

"However, I hope you can keep this a secret for me; otherwise, given the sect rules of the Youyun Holy Land, I fear my life would be in danger."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded, replying via voice transmission, "Rest assured, Wan knows the gravity of the situation."

"As for the threat from the Youyun Holy Land, before long I will plan to help you leave the Holy Land and join the Beast Taming Sect; by then, you will no longer need to worry."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Liu Yanran's heart stirred, and she nodded.

Although the influence of the Youyun Holy Land is slightly weaker than that of the Youyun Holy Land which dominates the western region of Youzhou, it is, after all, a top-tier power.

For a Cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Stage like her.

There is not much difference between the two sects.

She looked at Wang Jianqiang, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes, "That Pill..."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, and with a wave of his hand, a Jade Bottle appeared before her, "This bottle of Pills is enough for you to cultivate for five or six days; you may come to me to ask for more after you finish them."

Liu Yanran was delighted and hurriedly took the medicine bottle to inspect it.

When she finished checking the Pill inside the Jade Bottle, her expression could not help but stiffen.

Spirit Nourishing Pill?

This is merely a standard Pill for Cultivators at the Spirit Transformation Stage to cultivate; although its value is not low, it definitely cannot be called a Treasure Pill!

She looked at Wan Guiyuan, somewhat uncertain, "This is the Pill that gave you the confidence to boast that you could help me break through?"

"That is correct."

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

Liu Yanran's expression faltered, "Are you playing me?"

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "I haven't started playing yet."

Liu Yanran was stunned.

"Hmm?"
