Chapter 425: Surprising News
Lu Ran was indeed very tempted!
Regarding the cultivation of the sculptures in the sculpture garden, Lu Ran currently had two methods.
One was to forcefully take and cultivate the sculptures by killing demon minions and human followers.
However, this method was specific, as various wraiths would voluntarily throw themselves into the corresponding sculptures.
The second method was through Holy Spirit Qi.
This approach was more flexible, and Lu Ran had absolute autonomy in his choices, allowing him to cultivate sculptures of his liking.
After spending so much time in this realm, Lu Ran had figured out many tricks.
Every trace of pure Holy Spirit Qi contained energy equivalent to a River Realm soul.
Currently, Lu Ran's Fiery Heaven Sculpture was at the Third Stage of the River Realm.
In other words, every ten traces of pure Holy Spirit Qi could help the River Realm sculpture advance by a small stage.
And once the Fiery Heaven Sculpture reached the River Realm, it would require a hundred traces of Holy Spirit Qi to advance by a small stage.
The demand was enormous!
Up until now, Lu Ran had not encountered any Fiery Heaven followers within Holy Spirit Mountain.
As for venturing out to sea, seeking those islands that had accumulated a large amount of Holy Spirit Qi, Lu Ran was indeed very tempted!
Lu Ran leaned against the cave entrance, gazing at the surging waves, "Luo Jie, after you go back, discuss with Xun Ge, and select someone to accompany us on our journey to the sea."
As for the one who would stay behind, it was naturally to protect the child.
Moreover, ordinary people needed to eat, and someone had to go out to fish.
"Yes," Lu Ying almost thought she had misheard.
Luo Jie? Xun Ge?
It wasn't wrong; their ages were indeed as stated.
But this mysterious and powerful sect leader actually addressed herself and her husband so casually?
After interacting with Lu Ran for some time, Lu Ying had gained some understanding of him and found him to be rather gentle and friendly.
Having such a person as a leader, the Flame Gate Sect indeed didn't have the same dark and oppressive atmosphere as other sects.
However, Jing Hong was filled with fear and awe, and Deng Yuxiang was very respectful.
Even Yu Changsheng treated this young man with utmost respect and regarded him as their leader.
Naturally, the high status and position of the Flame Gate Sect leader were established in the couple's hearts.
Therefore, the casual titles Lu Ran used carried significant weight!
"By the way, come up with code names for yourselves," Lu Ran said, looking at Lu Ying, "If everything goes well, I'll give you the position of a Divine General."
As he spoke, Lu Ran couldn't help but laugh.
He hadn't expected that the idea he had casually mentioned about establishing "Four Great Guardians" and "Eight Divine Generals" within the Flame Gate Sect would gradually become a reality.
Lu Ying,
A Sea Realm, Fourth Stage follower of Deity Asha!
Undoubtedly, this was a terrifying powerhouse that could destroy heaven and earth!
Lu Ran lacked experience and had never witnessed such a terrifying existence with his own eyes.
As a result, he found it hard to imagine just how formidable Lu Ying's true combat power would be!
"Luo Ying is absolutely qualified to be one of the 'Eight Divine Generals' of the Flame Gate Sect."
Xun Yifei was also a genuine Sea Realm expert, specializing in water combat. If everything went well, he would be considered one of the sect's earliest members.
More importantly, he was Lu Ying's husband.
With Xun Yifei occupying a position among the Eight Divine Generals, there was no issue.
"Yes," Lu Ying slightly bowed her head.
No matter how friendly and kind Lu Ran was, she dared not overstep her boundaries.
When asking for a favor, one should humble oneself.
Lu Ying felt fortunate that the leader she followed was not as cruel and cold-blooded as the leaders of other sects.
"By the way, I want to ask you about a few people," Lu Ran suddenly remembered something.
He then inquired about the whereabouts of Cheng Xin, Qin Yanzhi, and the others.
Unfortunately, Lu Ying had neither heard of nor seen them.
But to Lu Ran's surprise, as he continued to ask, he indeed uncovered a significant piece of news!
"You said the Northern Wind Sect's base is in the north?" Lu Ran was both surprised and delighted.
Neither Luo Fu, who had been captured before, nor Yu Changsheng, who came later, knew where the Northern Wind Sect's base was located.
Lu Ying nodded and said, "From here, you need to travel very far to the north. After seeing the snow-capped mountains, you must go even deeper into the north.
Near a region with a frozen great river, there is a particularly towering mountain peak.
There are disciples of the Northern Wind Sect in that area."
Deng Yuxiang, listening to Lu Ying's words, was equally excited!
So, the Northern Wind Sect was located in the northeastern region of the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm, and they had even set up camp near the ice river?
"Swoosh~" Yu Changsheng closed his folding fan and lightly tapped his forehead.
Lu Ran curiously looked over: "Mr. Conglong?"
Yu Changsheng smiled and shook his head: "Blame me for being dull, I didn't think of this."
Now it seems that the Northern Wind disciples are choosing their locations based on the region within Daxia, where the Deity Northern Wind is stationed.
Lu Ran nodded.
The northeastern region of the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm, near the river and the sea—isn't it just like this? Deng Yuxiang looked at Lu Ran, her words stuck in her throat.
Her good friend Yan Shuangzi had been out of contact for a long time, and she didn't know if she was alive or dead.
But as the Sect Leader, Lu Ran had just enthusiastically set the task goals, and she didn't want him to change his mind suddenly, nor did she want to disrupt his growth plan.
"We're heading north, let's go find someone first!" Lu Ran issued the order without hesitation.
Deng Yuxiang looked at Lu Ran, her heart warming.
Lu Ran turned to look at Luo Ying: "You and your husband don't need to choose either. Since it's a land-based task, you'll come with me! Let your husband stay home with the kids."
Luo Ying: "."
The words, filled with the atmosphere of daily life, left her stunned.
"Let's go back, rest for a day, and we'll set off tomorrow morning." Lu Ran waved his hand, opening a full-length mirror for Luo Ying.
Luo Ying hesitated for a moment before speaking: "If the Sect Leader doesn't mind, you can come to my home to rest."
Lu Ran couldn't help but marvel.
Luo Ying was undoubtedly a cautious person, but she also had enough courage! Once she decided on something, she wouldn't hesitate anymore.
At this moment, inviting Lu Ran to stay at her home and interact with the children was like a unique gesture of trust.
"Sect Leader?"
"No." Lu Ran shook his head in refusal, "We don't know how long this trip to the north will take, so you should spend more time with your family. I won't disturb you."
Tomorrow morning, at the same spot, I'll open the Mirror Flower Moon."
Luo Ying bowed slightly: "Yes, Sect Leader."
As she turned and left, only four people remained in the cave.
"Hmm," Lu Ran sighed, feeling like he was living in a dream.
The River Realm powerhouse, known as the Vast River, is above the great rivers and seas, encompassing all rivers, forming the Vast Ocean! As a result, he had gained two at once!
Tsk tsk~
It seems that life in the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm is actually quite wonderful!
If this were in the human world, the Vast Ocean might not even give him a second glance.
But in this realm, these unparalleled powerhouses treated him with utmost respect.
It's like a dream~
"Congratulations, Sect Leader, on gaining a capable assistant." From behind, Yu Changsheng smiled and congratulated.
Lu Ran's unconcealed emotions naturally affected the atmosphere in the cave.
"Congratulations." Lu Ran smiled in response.
It's true that everything is difficult in the beginning!
In the beginning, when he and the Great Nightmare first arrived in this realm, they were chased and fled everywhere, feeling utterly miserable.
Later, with Yu Changsheng's help, their situation improved significantly.
Lu Ran recruited the highly functional Jing Hong, and now Xun Luofu is also following him.
Four big words: Things are looking up!
"I rarely see you so happy." Deng Yuxiang walked to Lu Ran's side, her gaze sweeping over his shoulder as she gazed at the sea in the rain.
Leaning at the cave entrance, Lu Ran spoke softly: "When we find Yan Shuangzi, I'll be even happier."
"Hmm," Deng Yuxiang responded softly.
"She's like you." Lu Ran spoke without thinking.
Deng Yuxiang looked at Lu Ran, puzzled.
The two were very good friends, and indeed had similar temperaments.
Lu Ran looked at the woman, his voice gentle as he comforted her: "What I mean is, you don't need to worry too much. She won't give up easily."
Deng Yuxiang remained silent, nodding lightly.
It was impossible not to worry.
Lu Ran smiled: "She's probably like you, too, and it's hard for her to die."
"Hehe." Deng Yuxiang also smiled.
Looking at the young man who was trying to comfort her, she couldn't help but reach out and ruffle his hair.
Lu Ran shook his head, his thoughts drifting far away.
If he could really find the Great Nightmare's good friend and confide in her, that would be great!
Life in the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm was becoming more and more exciting!
