The Old Gods

Chapter 716: Flashing Pendant

Lu Ran didn't expect that he would be separated from his girlfriend for a whole month.

Throughout the winter month of the lunar calendar, Yunhai Cliff was almost shrouded in fog, and the promotions of the Dragon Guardian, the Nightmare Guardian, and Madam Ranmen were all linked together.

The false gods and stone statues practiced day and night, relying on mutual support and extreme hard work to continuously climb up.

Under such a strong condition of divine power, Qiao Yuanxi's previous boast that he would reach the peak within a month was achieved even earlier.

But once you reach your peak, hard work alone is not enough to improve.

Whether it is Yu Changsheng, the peak of the Sea Realm, or Qiao Yuanxi, the peak of the River Realm, they all need to hone their Tao heart.

It requires some understanding.

This kind of thing is mysterious and different for different people. Lu Ran has the will but not the ability to understand it.

However, Lu Ran believed in Mr. Conglong's wisdom and trusted little Yuanxi's intelligence, so he was not too worried and just waited for good news.

Throughout the winter month, Yunhai Cliff was invaded by several angry sea fire dragons.

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

The Eight Desolate Swords are very exciting!
The number of times the Yunhai Sword vibrated increased significantly, but Lu Ran did not think that it was due to the dragon blood.

He knew clearly which node caused such a change in Yunhai Knife.

It was the day when Master Tu Feng wiped out the entire family!
Lu Ran made a decision: stand above the Forbidden City and wait for the arrival of the powerful people from the heavenly realm.

From that moment on, Yunhai Dao seemed to have entered a new stage.

It often gives feedback to Lu Ran.

But it lacks an opportunity for transformation.

Lu Ran knew that this Yunhaichenqing Knife might require the life of a powerful person in the Heavenly Realm to be sacrificed!

Or it should be said that a sufficiently qualified "sea of ​​clouds" is needed to allow the sword to gather its spirit and take shape.

There is no rush.

Over the past month, the forces under the Ranmen have developed very well.

The Forbidden City regained its footing and began to accept refugees again.

Tiangang City at the foot of Liyuan Sect Mountain has been completed. Zhenyue Hall and Baizhan Hall, which were serving as reinforcements outside, have also returned to the sect. With the experience learned from the Forbidden City, they are guarding the newly built ancient city.

Jingxian Mountain has always been peaceful. The Xunluo couple did not disappoint Lu Ran's expectations and supported the southern coastal area.

Ranmen's development is thriving, which makes Lu Ran feel very gratified and his mood is extremely relaxed.

It was so smooth that even Lu Ran felt something was wrong!

After all, Holy Spirit Mountain is not a place where everything goes smoothly.

Lu Ran even began to be suspicious, thinking that something "big" was waiting for him.
The twenty-ninth day of the winter month, in the evening.

The night is quiet, and the sea breeze blows across a peaceful sea of ​​clouds.

A bonfire was lit in the backyard of Yunhaiju.

The flickering flames, against the backdrop of relaxed and comfortable faces, make the picture look particularly warm.

This bonfire party was organized by Xiao Yuanxi.

To celebrate Sister Ruyi's release from confinement today, I also celebrate with Yu Changsheng and Deng Yuxiang.

Not many people were invited. Apart from the two guardians, Conglong and Mengyao, most of them were friends.

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

For this purpose, Lu Ran even went to the Mud Pig Forest and brought back a mud boar weighing 600 to 700 kilograms.
“It’s delicious~”

Qiao Yuanxi spoke vaguely while holding a piece of roasted pork belly.

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

"Eat slowly." Jiang Ruyi gently wiped the corner of Qiao Yuanxi's mouth with her fingers.

"Yeah." Qiao Yuanxi nodded repeatedly, picked up the roasted pork belly, and took another bite.

Golden and crispy, full of meaty flavor.

Lu Ran had a strange look on his face, and he always felt that his sister did it on purpose.

Little Yuanxi seemed to enjoy Jiang Ruyi's care for her and deliberately ate until oil dripped from the corners of her mouth?
On the side, Bai Manni leaned on Deng Yutang's shoulder, looking at Qiao Yuanxi with some envy.

As a person from Jiangjing, it is difficult for her to behave freely in front of Lu Ran, Jiang Ruyi and others.

Bai Manni was both envious and confused. She wondered why Ran Shen's sister could be so relaxed.

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

Well. Well, next to Deng Yutang is Deng Yuxiang, so he should indeed tremble.

From this perspective, my husband is still very reliable.

He used his broad body to block the terrifying aura of his elder sister-in-law and built a simple shelter for Bai Manni.

"Master."

"Hmm?" Lu Ran turned around and looked up, and saw Si Xianxian.

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

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

Si Xianxian hurriedly sat next to Jiang Ruyi, picked up the stick, and bit the pork belly on it hard.

He also had oil dripping from his mouth, and then looked at his wife eagerly.

Lu Ran rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Heh." Jiang Ruyi smiled and glared at Si Xianxian, "You're eating so much that your mouth is full of it. What a shame."

Si Xianxian:?

Aren't you treating people differently?

She is the daughter of the Lu family. Am I really just a maid of the Lu family?
"Haha~" Yu Changsheng couldn't help but laugh out loud, which earned him a vicious roll of the eyes from the maid Si.

Yu Changsheng immediately covered his face with a paper fan and tried hard to hold back his laughter.

Lu Ran looked over and said with a smile: "It has been half a month since Mr. Long was promoted. How is your understanding going?"

"Master, I'm still working hard." Yu Changsheng suddenly remembered something and said, "Master, next time you upgrade the Black Carp Stone Sculpture, please let me know in advance?"

"Hehe~" Lu Ran smiled embarrassedly. There was a gap of several days between the promotion of Deng Yuxiang and Jiang Ruyi. Lu Ran took the opportunity to go out to the sea, retrieved the Moli Squad and the Mermaid Squad, and rebuilt a new patrol team.

During this process, the Black Carp Evil Sculpture in Lu Ran's sculpture garden was advanced and was heading for the third stage of the Sea Realm.

The third stage of Sea Realm was obviously not in line with Mr. Conglong's level of strength.

Lu Ran did not return, but continued to march towards the sea, killing groups of black carp and mermaids.

Compared to the Mermaid Evil Sculpture, the Black Carp Evil Sculpture is obviously easier to cultivate.

Because you can easily judge the strength level of the Black Carp clan by their body shape.

Lu Ran hid his body, flashing and swimming in the distant sea and the deep sea, driving the Fiery Sky Kui and holding the Jade Ruyi in his hand, releasing terrifying-sized Fairy Sky Pythons, specifically targeting the leaders of the Black Carp tribe to kill!

It was not until a disciple of the Ran Sect sent a message saying that fog was rising in the cliff again that Lu Ran returned to continue guarding the cliff.

Unfortunately, Moli Xiesu failed to advance to the Heavenly Realm and ultimately remained at the Fifth Stage of the Sea Realm.

"We agreed. I will definitely do it next time." Yu Changsheng looked at his master with a gloomy look in his eyes. "It's a bit embarrassing for me to tremble in public."

"Hey!" Lu Ran responded, a little bit unable to bear Yu Changsheng's gaze, and quickly changed the subject, "Master Xianyang said."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people sitting around the campfire suddenly quieted down, and all pairs of eyes turned to Lu Ran.

The two words "Immortal Sheep" are obviously extremely lethal to everyone!
Lu Ran's expression also became a little more serious: "Master Xianyang once told me that as long as the level is high enough, it can be integrated with the stone sculpture.

I once asked what level of realm was required, and Lord Xianyang said, "

Under the gaze of everyone, Lu Ran slowly spoke:
"It has to be very high!"

Everyone: "."

If there weren't so many people around, Si Xianxian would really "tsk~" Lu Ran.

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

Yu Changsheng gently waved the paper fan and nodded slightly.

Lu Ran's eyes were full of encouragement as he looked at the handsome and unparalleled military advisor and said, "When Mr. Conglong is promoted to the Heavenly Realm, I will go out to sea again and confront the Black Carp Evil Sculpture!
Let’s see if our human bodies can completely merge with the stone sculpture.”

Deng Yuxiang said softly: "Mr. Conglong must work hard to gain enlightenment."

Yu Changsheng turned his head and looked, with a curious look on his face.

Deng Yuxiang rarely smiled at outsiders, but it was mostly provocative: "I also want to be the first person to try it."

"Haha." Yu Changsheng laughed dumbly. He didn't think that Deng Yuxiang simply wanted to try new things.

I think the Nightmare Protector wants to pave the way for the Sect Master's career.

He wanted to become the first pure pseudo-god stone statue under Lu Ran.

But I'm afraid the Nightmare Guardian will be disappointed.

Yu Changsheng gently waved a paper fan with a smile on his face.

I, Yu, also want to be the first pseudo-god stone statue under the sect leader!
"Brother!" Little Yuanxi suddenly spoke.

"Ok?"

"If it merges with the stone sculpture, will it become a pure energy body?"

"should be."

Qiao Yuanxi looked at Jiang Ruyi, then at Lu Ran, opened his mouth, and looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

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

Qiao Yuanxi's heart was set, and he asked in a low voice: "If you and Sister Ruyi become pure energy bodies, can you still have a baby?"

Lu Ran: ???
Jiang Ruyi: “.”

For a moment, everyone around the campfire had strange looks on their faces, and their expressions were very interesting.

Jiang Ruyi's beautiful eyes moved and she glanced at Qiao Yuanxi lightly.

"Hmm." Qiao Yuanxi shrank his neck in fear, and his voice became smaller and smaller. "I'm just asking. I want a little nephew or niece to play with. Hmm."

As a result, Si Xianxian also shrank her neck.

She didn't know what she did 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 with a strange look on his face, "It should be possible, right? The evil demons I created all have flesh and blood bodies.

Although it is essentially an energy body, all the structures of the physical body are complete."

Jiang Ruyi's face gradually turned red and she turned to look at Lu Ran.

"Ahem." Lu Ran coughed twice. "Besides, we have become gods. Even if we can't be omnipotent, at least the abilities that humans have, gods should also have. Uh-huh! Give me the meat. I'm hungry."

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

Yu Changsheng came to the rescue at the right time and said, "Master, what is the focus of our work in the Ran Sect?"

"You guys just stay at home and develop your subordinate forces. Your main task is still your own cultivation and enlightenment." Lu Ran took over the barbecue, "I will continue my journey west."

Qiao Yuanxi's heart was slightly moved: "Go west?"

Lu Ran bit off a piece of meat fiercely and said, "Well, starting from Jingxian Mountain, we will explore westwards and travel light."

some people,

He hasn't found it yet.

The Forbidden City in the center, Tiangang City in the south, Qianzhou Island in the southeast, Yunhai Cliff and Jingxian Mountain near the East China Sea and the South China Sea.

The radiation range of each area is very wide, but the person Lu Ran wants still hasn't appeared.

In that case, he went to the southwest area of ​​the Holy Spirit Mountain Continent to take a look!
"elder brother!"

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

Qiao Yuanxi's eyes flickered: "I'm already at the peak of the Jiang realm, I don't need to practice hard, I just need some enlightenment."

Having said this, everyone already understood what she meant.

"Brother~" Qiao Yuanxi stood up and knelt beside Lu Ran, hugged his arm, and shook it like a spoiled child, "I can only work behind closed doors at home, and you are going to explore, not to the battlefield, so take me with you!

Brother, you are so strong now, it is safe for me to stay with you, ok?"

Qiao Yuanxi stopped talking and looked down.

Lu Ran also looked surprised and looked at her neck.

A small diamond pendant on the magical beads she wore quietly glowed with a deep blue luster.
