Chapter 139: Seven Hundred Consecutive Draws?

Chapter 139: Seven Hundred Consecutive Draws?

"Choose one," Lily said softly, and it was clear that she was a little reluctant.

Unfortunately, as a follower of the Fountain of Forgetting, Lily had no choice but to obey the deity's command.

To be fair, if it were Lu Ran, he would also be reluctant to part with it.

"Okay, thank you, sister." Lu Ran's lips curled into a sweet smile.

He gazed at the piles of stacked coins, knowing that he was about to gain a huge advantage!

How many demon wraiths were there?

And how much of the demons' 'Qi' was contained within?

If he were to bring all of them into the Demon Sculpture Garden...

Four big words: Alive and Beautifully Dead~

Lily let out a snort, unable to resist teasing, "You sure can change your mind quickly."

"You wanted to give me a knife, but now that you've gotten a sweet date, you're calling me sister again?"

"Aren't you and Brother Hao twin siblings?" Lu Ran said matter-of-factly, "You're older than me."

"Heh, little brother, then go ahead and choose." Lily's reluctance gradually faded, leaving only a bright smile.

"Just call me Lu Ran."

"What, you just called me sister, and now you're not acknowledging it?"

"In terms of age, I can call you sister, but I'm not your little brother." Lu Ran examined a string of coins, "I'm striving towards becoming one of the Great Human Powerhouses.

Your address lowers my status."

Lily spoke calmly, "The name Lu Ran is just ordinary."

Lu Ran grinned, "You can also call me Flame Deity."

Lily's smile faded from her face.

She slowly turned around, her empty eyes gazing at the shrine.

After a few seconds, Lily realized there was nothing unusual and turned back, a hint of displeasure in her voice, "You sure are bold with your words."

Lu Ran's fingers brushed over a stack of coins and he sighed softly,

"If I dare to do it, I dare to say it."

Lily was puzzled, "What?"

"Nothing." Lu Ran changed the subject, "I can't tell what kind of wraiths are inside these coins."

Not only could he not tell, but Lu Ran couldn't even touch these coins.

They all belonged to another dimension, with no physical form to speak of.

Just because Lily could touch and manipulate the coins with her fingertips didn't mean Lu Ran could do the same.

Aside from the real coin at the bottom of the red threads, Lu Ran could only stare at the 'abundant harvest' before him.

"The string of coins contains the souls of Bamboo Wood Demons," Lily explained.

"What about this string?"

"Bamboo Wood Demons."

"And this one?"

"Bamboo Wood Demons."

Lu Ran: "..."

You sure didn't waste your time in this Bamboo Sea Abyss!

The Bamboo Wood Demon clan was one that Lu Ran could defeat and capture their souls himself.

The Lord Fountain of Forgetting had only agreed to give him one string of coins, so Lu Ran naturally wanted to choose rare and powerful demon wraiths.

He wanted to pick the fierce demons that were produced in the Demon Dens that were not open to the public!

Lily: "Don't like it?"

Lu Ran suddenly asked, "Are there any Demon Dollwoman coins?"

Lily seemed to be deep in thought, "Do you like eating Demon Dollwomen?"

Lu Ran wanted to argue, as he was choosing the Demon Dollwoman to activate the Evil Sculpture.

But after a moment's consideration, he didn't speak.

He wasn't sure if the Lord Fountain of Forgetting knew about the existence of the Demon Sculpture Garden.

From Lily's words, it seemed like she believed that Lu Ran was simply consuming the wraiths.

"Little brother?"

Seeing that Lu Ran had been silent for a while, Lily urged him.

"Oh, I like to eat." Lu Ran replied casually, "Love to eat~"

But Lily smiled brightly, with a hint of playfulness, "There aren't any here."

Lu Ran: "..."

Lily: "If you like to eat rare demon wraiths, then stop looking for those red threads full of coins."

Lu Ran understood and quickly scanned the surroundings, soon finding a string of coins that matched the description: "What kind of demon wraiths are inside these coins?"

Lily's smile froze slightly, "Ghost Talisman Dolls."

"Ghost Talisman Dolls?" Lu Ran's eyes lit up.

Hearing Lu Ran's enthusiastic voice, Lily pouted playfully.

But that adorable expression quickly vanished, and she regained her elegant and serene demeanor.

"What about this one?" Lu Ran moved sideways a few steps.

Lily sighed in relief, her tone noticeably lighter, "Two-Faced Demons."

Lu Ran was perplexed, "Are Two-Faced Demons rare? Why are there fewer coins than the Ghost Talisman Dolls?"

Lily explained, "These souls were collected by me on the Night of the Fifteenth, while escorting the Human Heroic Souls."

Lu Ran suddenly understood that since it was the Night of the Fifteenth, there was a great deal of uncertainty.

He decided to ask, "Where are the rarest coins?"

Lily spoke softly, "Aren't the Ghost Talisman Dolls rare enough?

If not for the several times I've experienced the Ghost Parade in these years, I wouldn't have accumulated so many souls of the dolls."

Should he choose the Ghost Talisman Dolls?

Lu Ran fell into deep thought.

He had fought against the Ghost Talisman Dolls before and knew their strength.

If he could summon them, they would be excellent allies.

Moreover, there was another reason, a personal grudge.

Deity of Jade Talisman, please don't reject me.

I'll directly cultivate my own Demon Dollwoman!

Who says I can't enchant my double swords without the Jade Talisman's approval?

Who says that without the Jade Talisman's acceptance, I can't follow my father's path?

Lu Ran pondered for a while, made up his mind, and finally asked, "Are there any Night Charm coins here?

As these words left her mouth, Li Rouyin's face stiffened, and her body even swayed slightly.

"Oh?" Lu Ran observed her reaction, wondering if there was an unexpected gain.

Indeed, there was!

Compared to the ghost talisman doll, the demonic technique of the Night Charm tribe had an even greater boost to Lu Ran's combat strength!

When cultivating the evil sculpture, Lu Ran not only had to consider summoning and controlling demons in the future but also the enhancement the demonic technique would provide to him personally.

With the Night Charm technique, he could summon a series of wind blades, transforming into a killing machine like a sword or blade cultivator.

He could wrap his feet in wind, tread on air, and no longer worry about having nowhere to borrow strength in mid-air.

Lu Ran could also summon raging winds and create long, highly destructive blade marks! He could even wear a straw hat and a night-traveling robe, possessing genuine defensive techniques.

Lu Ran could even create several clones and switch places with them! Whatever the Nightmare had, Lu Ran basically had it too.

And what the Nightmare didn't have, Lu Ran did!

"Is there?" Lu Ran looked at Li Rouyin, who was silently bowing her head.

Li Rouyin didn't even want to talk, she just raised her hand and pointed in a direction.

Lu Ran smiled, "Sister, you're so reluctant?"

"Don't call me sister," Li Rouyin waved her jade-like hand, as if to sever this karmic connection.

"Alright, little Rouyin," Lu Ran took a step forward, "Is this the one? Or this one? Or this one?"

Li Rouyin: "."

It was clear that the girl's heart was bleeding.

Finally, Lu Ran found the string of spirit coins that imprisoned the Night Charm tribe.

Indeed, there weren't many spirit coins on this red string.

But there were still six or seven hundred of them!

In other words, there was a guaranteed minimum of six or seven hundred Mist Realm Night Charm souls.

Lu Ran carefully sensed the wraiths within, perceiving that the sealed wraiths varied in strength and power.

Excellent!

The exciting moment of unboxing had arrived~

If he opened a River Realm soul, it could be worth a hundred Mist Realm souls!

If he could open River Basin or Sea Realm wraiths...

Two big words: Takeoff!

Lu Ran couldn't even imagine how much his Night Charm evil sculpture could be enhanced.

"Right, Lord Sheep," Lu Ran suddenly realized something and spoke in a low voice, "Is it okay if I absorb them all at once?"

The deity's voice transmission fell, sounding hoarse, "It's fine, after all, the Night Charm wraiths have been imprisoned here.

For the demon deity, the 'energy' carried by these wraiths has long been considered within the scope of consumption."

Listening to Lord Sheep's words, Lu Ran's heart stirred, and he thought of another question.

So, was the Forget Spring deity in seclusion because of this?

So, did she only have Li Rouyin as her sole disciple?

The Deity of Forget Spring was clearly being forced!

She should have been persecuted by the other deities, exiled to this place, and settled in a remote corner.

Li Rouyin had made it clear that she could not only imprison demons but also guide the heroic souls of humans.

In other words, she could also absorb the 'energy' of the deity's main body to nourish herself.

Objectively speaking, the deities could never allow or tolerate the growth of the Forget Spring sect!

Even if the Forget Spring sect could greatly weaken the power of the demon deity and tip the scales of victory...

That was still unacceptable!

The superiority or inferiority of the battle situation, how long humanity would suffer the ravages of war, none of these mattered.

What mattered was that your existence threatened us!

"Is that so?" Lu Ran spoke his thoughts aloud to Lord Sheep.

In return, he received a four-word response from Lord Sheep: "A teachable youth."

Lu Ran fell silent, turning his head to look at Li Rouyin.

In that case, shouldn't this sole disciple of hers not exist either?

The human warriors of Daxia, of course, did not want their comrades to suffer, and they hoped that Li Rouyin could help guide the heroic souls.

They didn't want their fallen comrades, who had given their lives, to be humiliated even after death.

But from the deity's perspective, every believer's soul, once escorted by Li Rouyin, would consume 'energy'.

Lu Ran's mind raced with thoughts.

Currently, the Forget Spring deity was barely surviving, and her sect still had this sole disciple.

On the Night of the Fifteenth, the military would also invite Li Rouyin to protect the human warriors.

Behind this current situation, what kind of twisted story lay hidden?

"Sigh"

Lu Ran heaved a deep sigh, his gaze shifting to the small shrine in the depths of the hall.

This qualification to barely survive was not something that could be exchanged for with compromise, submission, or servitude.

Even to barely survive, one must struggle with all their might.

Thinking about it, it was truly heart-wrenching.

"Lu Ran," Li Rouyin suddenly spoke up.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran snapped out of his thoughts.

Li Rouyin's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "The Deity of Forget Spring just sent a voice transmission, asking me to convey a message to you."

Lu Ran nodded and listened quietly.

Li Rouyin paused for a moment, naturally not daring to alter the words of her deity, and relayed them as they were:

"Considering this as a meeting gift, in the future, if Rouyin encounters difficulties, I hope you can lend her some assistance."

Lu Ran's heart sank.

With the Deity of Forget Spring around, how could he, a mere human, help her disciple?

Could it be that the Deity of Forget Spring, like Lord Sheep, was also gradually falling?

Or did the Deity of Forget Spring, aware of her situation, know that she might suffer a tragic death at the hands of the divine and demonic tribes at any time?

"I'll do it."

"Lord Sheep?"

"The Forget Spring sect's situation is unique, and in the future, this person may be of use to you, so accept her as your apostle."

"Yes!"
