n

n

n

n“Elder Luo, do you have any instructions?”

n

nSeeing that the fish had taken the bait, Shen Ran stopped in his tracks and smiled.

n

n“I’m ashamed to say that I met with an accident during my cultivation. Now, I’m pressed down by a huge boulder and can’t escape. I hope you can help move this huge boulder away. I’m forever grateful!”

n

nThe tormented Luo Qifeng couldn’t care less about his status as an elder at this moment.

n

nHe made a request to Shen Ran, who was dressed as a servant disciple.

n

n“Yes sir!”

n

nThat’s what I was waiting for!

n

nShen Ran’s eyes lit up. Without a word, he lifted the huge boulder off Luo Qifeng and put it aside.

n

nThe boulder that had been pressing on him for five days was moved away. For a moment, Luo Qifeng was almost moved to tears.

n

nShen Ran had only moved the boulder out of convenience.

n

nBut for Luo Qifeng, it was a lifesaver.

n

n“You’re very good!” Luo Qifeng took out a token and handed it to Shen Ran. “This is a token that represents my identity. From now on, you’re no longer a servant disciple but an official disciple of my Eighth Summit. In the future, if you have any cultivation problems, feel free to look for me!”

n

n“My thanks to Elder Luo!”

n

nShen Ran was overjoyed as he took the token.

n

nHe had finally discarded his servant disciple identity and become an ordinary disciple!

n

nIn the future, he would no longer need to waste time dealing with chores every day. Furthermore, he would have the right to go down the mountain at any time.

n

nHe helped Luo Qifeng back to the Eighth Summit.

n

nShen Ran did not immediately go to the disciple registration office to register his identity as an official disciple.

n

nHe still had opportunities yet to obtain.

n

nAfter fetching water, he returned to Li Tian’s residence. He was still snoring in the house.

n

nShen Ran did not wake him up.

n

nHe carefully irrigated the spiritual herbs in the spiritual field.

n

nAfter completing the mission entrusted to him by Li Tian, Shen Ran looked at the spiritual field filled with lush spiritual herbs and rubbed his hands excitedly. Senior Brother Li, you are the one who said that I could casually take two spiritual herbs from the field after completing the mission. I don’t need the spiritual herbs. I’ll accept the 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow buried underground.

n

nWith that, Shen Ran began to dig for the Wood Spirit Marrow.

n

nWhen he first came into contact with Li Tian’s spiritual field, he could feel there was an extremely rich spiritual energy churning in the soil.

n

nIn addition, there were traces of cool refreshing odor floating out of the soil.

n

nIt was probably the aura emitted by the Wood Spirit Marrow underground.

n

nAs Shen Ran dug deeper, the refreshing odor of the 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow became stronger.

n

nWhen he reached a hundred feet underground, the soil here was already dyed green.

n

nAs it glowed green, a refreshing fragrance wafted from the soil to his nose.

n

nJust by smelling this fragrance, Shen Ran immediately felt lively and alert.

n

nEven the spiritual energy in his body circulated faster.

n

nThat made him speed up the excavation.

n

nWhen Shen Ran dug a thousand feet underground, he finally found the object which was the main purpose of his trip.

n

n10,000-Year Wood Spirit Marrow!

n

nThe 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow in the shape of a baby was crystal clear and suffused with a gentle green light.

n

nJust looking at it made him feel calm, and the restlessness in his heart disappeared.

n

nStars of green starlight were peeling off from the 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow and fusing into the surrounding soil.

n

nProviding the land that buries it with power beyond measure.

n

nShen Ran estimated that Li Tian’s spiritual field had been flooded by the power of the 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow for so long.

n

nEven if he took it away now, the magical power of the spiritual field could last for a hundred years.

n

nJust as Shen Ran was about to keep it, something unexpected happened!

n

nHis outstretched hand had just touched the 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow.

n

nThe baby-like 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow suddenly opened its eyes and glared at Shen Ran angrily.

n

nIt seemed to be blaming Shen Ran for disturbing its slumber.

n

nAfter ten thousand years of growth, this thing actually had intelligence!

n

nA bone-chilling coldness instantly spread throughout Shen Ran’s body, making him unable to move for a moment.

n

nThe 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow also took this opportunity to shake the short limbs on its small torso and try to escape.

n

nFaced with such a huge opportunity, Shen Ran would not sit back and do nothing.

n

nLet me suppress it!

n

nIn an instant, 10,000 golden rays flickered in his eyes. Endless chains condensed out of thin air and instantly bound the 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow that was about to escape.

n

nAt the same time, the majestic aura of the Supreme Bone and the primordial aura of the Pangu Sacred Body erupted.

n

nIt enveloped the 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow that was still struggling.

n

nSensing the supreme aura of the three great talents targeting him, the 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow revealed an aggrieved expression.

n

nOnly then did he give up struggling and transform into a green light that fused into Shen Ran’s body.

n

n“What are you doing? What are you doing! You can cause such a huge commotion just by watering me! Don’t ruin my spiritual field, or I won’t let you off!”

n

nInside the house, Li Tian, who was sleeping, felt a trace of Shen Ran’s aura and suddenly woke up.

n

nFull of anger, he pushed open the door and hurried out.

n

nThis magical spirit field was his most beloved. No one was allowed to touch it!

n

n“Senior Brother Li, you’re awake. I’ve watered your spiritual field. I won’t pluck the spiritual herbs. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”

n

nShen Ran, who had just restored the spiritual field to its original state, turned around and smiled at Li Tian.

n

nWas that just my imagination?

n

nLi Tian scratched his head suspiciously.

n

nHe looked at the safe and sound spiritual field and then at Shen Ran’s bright smile.

n

nHe immediately felt that something was wrong. His heart felt empty, as if he had lost something very important.

n

nHowever, looking at the dense spiritual herbs in his spiritual field, he did not know what to say.

n

nHe felt irritated.

n

nIs it because I haven’t had enough sleep?

n

nIn the end, Li Tian gave up and waved his hand. He turned back into the house and said to Shen Ran, “It’s been hard on you.”

n

n“Yes, I won’t disturb Senior Brother’s rest.”

n

nShen Ran looked inside his body.

n

nHe glanced at the 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow floating in his divine sea.

n

nPerfectly content, he left Li Tian’s residence.

n

nBack at the servant disciple area.

n

nOld Xu was snoring soundly. Even when Shen Ran came to his side, he was not in the least awake.

n

nThis is a person who was born ordinary. If there are no accidents, he will spend an ordinary and fulfilling life in the Empyrean Sword Sect.

n

n“Looks like you like your current life very much, Old Xu. I won’t disturb you anymore. If you need any help in the future, feel free to look for me.”

n

nAfter reading Old Xu’s narrative, Shen Ran left a farewell letter for him.

n

nAt the same time, he placed dozens of spirit stones he had accumulated, on top of the letter.

n

nFinally, after taking a look at the bed that Old Xu had repaired for him, Shen Ran gently closed the door.

n

nHe left the servant disciple area.

n

nShen Ran brought the token that Luo Qifeng had given him to the Eighth Summit’s disciple registration office.

n

nHe looked at his name, which was recorded on the list of official disciples of the Eighth Summit, and collected the green robe and token that represented his identity as an ordinary disciple.

n

nShen Ran was surprisingly calm about becoming an ordinary disciple again.

n

nHis pursuit was no longer constrained to this.

n

nWith the status of an ordinary disciple, he could leave the mountain at will.

n

nShen Ran hastened on through the night and finally arrived at Qingshan Town, thousands of miles away.

n

nOver here, there was one last opportunity waiting for him.
