n

n

nThe feud between him and Wang Qingxuan could no longer be described as simple.

n

nWang Qingxuan was a pawn planted by the Demon Cult in the Empyrean Sword Sect.

n

nShen Ran did not know how many people the entire Demon Cult had planted.

n

nBut there must be a lot!

n

nAfter all, Wang Qingxuan could become a Dao Seed, and the sect still knew nothing about his Demon Cult identity.

n

nThere was definitely someone covering for him!

n

nIf only he could rope in these families in the Empyrean Sword Sect, he might have a chance to become a new Dao Seed after killing Wang Qingxuan in the future.

n

nOnly by entering the upper echelons of the Empyrean Sect could he obtain enough resources and cultivate faster!

n

nAfter thinking about it for a moment, Shen Ran felt that this cooperation was beneficial.

n

n“It seems we can work together.”

n

nIn an instant, a ninth level Divine Sea aura erupted from his body, causing the surrounding air to hum and tremble!

n

nShen Ran had deliberately displayed his ninth level Divine Sea cultivation.

n

nThe reason why he did not display the strength of the Illumination Realm was to avoid overly shocking others!

n

nAs expected, when Lin Mei sensed Shen Ran’s cultivation, her mouth was opened wide and her enchanting eyes revealed intense shock!

n

nTwo weeks ago, when she came to Shen Ran, he was only a third level Divine Sea cultivator.

n

nHow did he become a ninth-level Divine Sea expert now?!

n

nThere was only one explanation for this. Shen Ran’s talent was top-notch!

n

nIn addition to having talent in alchemy, his aptitude for cultivation was also very high!

n

nBreaking through several small realms in half a month?

n

nHe was only half a step away from the Illumination Realm!

n

nHis aptitude was not inferior to Wang Qingxuan’s!

n

nThis sudden change caught Lin Mei off guard.

n

nAfter Lin Mei regained her senses, she immediately bowed to Shen Ran.

n

n“Senior Brother Shen, I need to discuss it with the elders of the clan.”

n

nWith that, she raised her hand and took off the communication jade pendant hanging at her waist to inform the Lin family elder of this shocking news.

n

nShe frowned and widened her eyes as she spoke. She even looked at Shen Ran in disbelief.

n

nSeeing this, Shen Ran did not urge her.

n

nHe smiled and quietly waited for her reply.

n

nA moment later.

n

nLin Mei, who had received a reply from the elder of her clan, exhaled heavily.

n

nThose enchanting peach blossom eyes stared straight at Shen Ran.

n

nA silvery bell-like voice came out of Lin Mei’s mouth.

n

n“Senior Brother Shen Ran, I just received a reply from the elder of the clan. These spiritual herbs can be given to Senior Brother Shen for free, but Senior Brother Shen needs to become a Empyrean Sect Dao Seed or even a Dao Child!

n

nAs long as Senior Brother Shen becomes a Dao Seed, our Lin family will give Senior Brother 100,000 spirit stones every year. If you can become a Dao Child, we will even give you a Tier 5 elixir.”

n

nShen Ran narrowed his eyes and smiled. “Your Lin family’s appetite is really big!”

n

nThe Lin family wanted to tie him to the Lin family by giving him so many spiritual herbs for free!

n

nIf he could become a Dao Child, the Lin family could use his power to quickly annex the other small families in the Empyrean Sword Sect.

n

nIt was enough to bring huge benefits to the Lin family!

n

nSo, that was why Lin Mei gave such an answer.

n

nAfter a chuckle, Shen Ran said indifferently, “Since your Lin family has thought it through, I’ll accept it!”

n

nHe urgently needed a large number of resources to cultivate.

n

nBe it the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, the Ancient Immortal Eyes, or the Supreme Bones, they all required a vast amount of resources.

n

nNow, he was just an ordinary Empyrean Sect disciple.

n

nThere were not many resources to use for cultivation.

n

nTherefore, Shen Ran did not refuse the Lin family’s investment.

n

nNo matter how strong a person was, after offending the interests of a group of people, it would be difficult for him to survive alone.

n

nAfter Shen Ran agreed, the burden in Lin Mei’s heart was finally lifted!

n

nThe conditions that the Lin family set this time were something she had never seen in all these years!

n

nAfter taking a deep breath to calm her complex emotions, Lin Mei waved at the servants behind her.

n

nIn an instant, seven or eight servants carried a few large boxes into the room.

n

n“My Lin family has prepared 10,000 spirit stones for Senior Brother Shen. Congratulations on Senior Brother Shen’s breakthrough to the ninth level of the Divine Sea Realm!

n

nSenior Brother Shen, I’ll return to the clan first and give the elders a reply.”

n

nWith that, Lin Mei called for her servants and left in a hurry.

n

nStaring at Lin Mei and the others who had left, Shen Yueshuang walked over and opened the large boxes one by one.

n

nLooking at the spirit stones in the box, Shen Yueshuang’s mouth widened, and her eyes were filled with excitement!

n

n“Brother Shen Ran, are we dreaming?!”

n

nTens of thousands of spirit stones flickered in the room.

n

nThe lights intertwined, forming a gorgeous scene.

n

nThis was a scene she had never seen before!

n

nShen Yueshuang’s breathing became heavier.

n

nShen Ran chuckled and said, “There will only be more such scenes in the future.

n

nYou can pick a box of spirit stones to cultivate.”

n

nHearing this, Shen Yueshuang looked at Shen Ran in disbelief.

n

nPick a box of spirit stones to cultivate?

n

nThere are at least a thousand spirit stones in this box.

n

nSo many spirit stones for cultivation?

n

nOrdinary Divine Sea Realm disciples were probably not so rich!

n

nNot to mention that she was only a maidservant at the fifth level of Qi Refinement.

n

nShen Yueshuang flatly refused.

n

n“No way!

n

nBrother Shen Ran, these spirit stones are all yours. I am only your maid. How can I use so many spirit stones to cultivate?”

n

nLooking at Shen Yueshuang, who kept shaking her head, Shen Ran felt a little amused.

n

n“As my maid, how can you only be at the Qi Refinement Realm?

n

nBesides, you have talent that’s not inferior to mine. If you don’t increase your cultivation, how can you help me in the future?”

n

nThe little maid, Shen Yueshuang, had yet to activate her Divine Phoenix bloodline.

n

nShe did not know that she had the bloodline of Empress Divine Phoenix.

n

nSo, Shen Ran decided to help her cultivate quickly and increase her cultivation as much as possible.

n

nAfter all, in the future, as he rose higher and higher, the enemies he encountered would also become stronger!

n

nAs expected, this time, Shen Yueshuang did not refuse.

n

n“Brother Shen Ran, don’t worry. I won’t be a burden to you!”

n
