Are Xiao Yan and Medusa having a baby?

The Art of Resonance allows Xiao Ran to stabilize his mind, listen to all things, and merge with heaven and earth.

The Qi Refining Ten Thousand Layers provided Xiao Ran with an impregnable defense.

Serendipitous Critical Strike provides explosive damage far exceeding one's own Cultivation Level.

After achieving the Trinity, Xiao Ran's strength greatly increased, and he was no less than a Nascent Soul.

If you want more power, just fill your Qi Sea with Spiritual Power, or drain your Master dry in one go...

After his strength increased dramatically, Xiao Ran's entire demeanor became extraordinary and boundless, completely unlike a Qi Refining cultivator.

He himself felt like he was floating on air, finally possessing the aura of a time traveler. He even had to force himself to restrain himself from the urge to show off and act recklessly.

Stay calm!

The Dharma Ending Era is different from the Golden Age. Cultivators seem to be more law-abiding, but because there are too many variables in the Dharma Ending Era, everyone has prepared many backup plans. If you are too reckless, you may end up crashing and burning.

Especially the disciples of the Demonic Sect...

Why hasn't Lu Pingtian arrived yet? He seems like a very troublesome person. Did I overestimate him?

Xiao Ran waited listlessly.

After consuming a large amount of medicinal residue, Xiao Ran would meditate for two hours every day and then soak in a hot spring.

I often run into my Master.

This wasn't the first time they'd shared a bath, Xiao Ran didn't shy away from it. With the mist in place, distance wasn't an issue.

Perhaps because he had become stronger, Xiao Ran always felt that his Master's gaze towards him was different.

The hearts of all Master are filled with compassion; which Master doesn't wish for their disciple to become stronger?

Lingzhou Yue leaned against the pond, her snow-white skin as bright as the moon, her expression weary. She drank wine while flipping through a sketchbook, her sword-like eyebrows slightly relaxed, then slowly furrowing as she turned the pages.

"Didn't you say Yun Yun was the female lead? How come she barely has any screen time after leaving the Demon Beast Mountain Range?"

"That's how love is; you have to go through separation before you can taste its sweet fruit."

Xiao Ran said this, but in his heart he was thinking: I'm sorry, Potato, I have to change the plot.

For example, add Xun Er's background to Yun Yun.

Yes, the plot is very engaging.

Lingzhou Yue continued looking at the picture book. At a certain point, she suddenly frowned, looked up at Xiao Ran, and her eyes held a hint of Sword Intent.

"What's with this Medusa thing? This part of the plot is too confusing, I didn't quite understand it... Are they having a baby?"

Xiao Ran sensed that his Master's gaze was off again, as if it carried some kind of resentment and coercion.

So you still have objections to having children?

"How could that be? With regulations so strict now, I could never draw that kind of story. The two of them have a purely platonic relationship of mutual exploitation."

Lingzhou Yue nodded slightly before letting Xiao Ran go.

"Take it easy, let me take another look."

Chuyan continues to design fairy-tale outfits day after day.

After upgrading to the Nascent Soul stage, the clothes she designed seemed to suddenly come to life, becoming not only beautiful but also ethereal.

Xiao Ran suggested that she make a sample first, let her Master try it on, and then slowly modify the parts that were not satisfactory.

Chuyan felt that she could not defile her Grandmaster's body, and that her first time must be reserved for the most perfect clothes.

Do you value the first time that much?

Xiao Ran suddenly felt a bit excited about the clothes Chuyan had designed for him.

Every day, besides taking baths and meditating, Xiao Ran would also go to Great Valley Peak and Ten Thousand Beasts Valley to fleece the sects.

He needs more resources to fill the Qi Sea.

Great Valley Peak.

A certain high slope.

The wind whistles, the river murmurs, and the wheat, varying in height and color, grows haphazardly in the same field, exuding a free, understated fragrance that seems to have no place for humankind.

Chen Gongxing still tends to the wheat fields at fixed times every day, wearing a straw hat and a farm Farmer's Robe.

In his spare time, he would lie in the weeds, his head resting on the handle of a hoe, holding a long sword, with a stalk of wheat in his mouth, humming a melodious tune.

As Xiao Ran walked from afar, it was as if he saw a rare pure land in this Dharma Ending Era...

Senior Brother Chen is honing his swordsmanship! Xiao Ran felt that the more one cherishes the land, the more decisively one will draw their sword when disaster strikes.

He never expected that Senior Brother Chen would be so decisive—

He decisively drew his sword at him! Chen Gongxing almost didn't recognize Xiao Ran when he saw him. Thinking of the recent commotion at Sword-Wielding Mountain, he suddenly felt an itch to test Xiao Ran's strength.

With a swift movement, his figure shifted from horizontal to vertical, drawing a rapid arc as he slashed at Xiao Ran with his sword.

Xiao Ran reacted in advance and quickly drew his Disciple Sword.

The two swords clashed together, but Chen Gongxing remained unmoved.

Xiao Ran was knocked back ten feet, leaving two deep footprints on the wheat ridge.

He could have physically withstood the attack, giving him more time to prepare and preventing him from having to retreat.

Drawing a sword is an act of respect.

Finally, I must praise Senior Brother Chen.

"Senior Brother Chen's swordsmanship may seem simple, but his sword energy is still strong."

Chen Gongxing took off his straw hat, revealing his face, which was as cracked as a riverbed. He looked down at the sword hanging at Xiao Ran's waist.

"You haven't even drawn your Lifebound Sword."

Xiao Ran humbly replied:

"My Lifebound Sword still needs time."

In that instant, Chen Gongxing felt his sword energy sink into the sea, creating a wave before quickly dissipating. Apart from being knocked back ten feet, Xiao Ran was not injured at all.

"I never imagined that you would grow to this level in just two months. You not only have the Sword-Holding Heart, but also the strength to do so. Perhaps it is precisely because you have the Sword-Holding Heart that you have gained the Sword-Holding Power so quickly."

No, the Sword-Holding Heart is useless; what I rely on is filial piety.

Xiao Ran didn't explain much, and quickly stated his purpose:

"I want to come—"

He had barely started when Chen Gongxing interrupted him.

"You can leave now. Even if we harvest all the Valley Wheat in the entire Great Valley Peak, it still won't fill your stomach."

After saying that, he lay back down among the weeds, crossed his legs, and chewed on a stalk of wheat.

As expected of Senior Brother Chen, he saw through his Boundless Qi Sea with just one sword strike.

"Filling in a dot is fine, it's just a dot."

Xiao Ran smiled.

Chen Gongxing:

"I'm going to use this little bit of wheat to make steamed buns for the dozen or so disciples I brought. Last time it was just a test to make you bleed a little, so don't take it for granted. If it really comes down to it, you're still too green."

"You're young, so you need to nourish yourself. I'm doing this for the sake of the sect's reputation. Senior Brother Chen probably doesn't want me to lose face at the Heaven's Chosen Assembly either."

Xiao Ran squinted in the autumn sunlight, his handsome face revealing an unusually thick skin.

Chen Gongxing was so annoyed by Xiao Ran that he finally gave up and whispered, "Baili Qingfeng has an underground warehouse on the south side of Great Valley Peak. Go and ask him."

Thank you.

Half a day later.

After harassing Baili Qingfeng until he was cursing, Xiao Ran went to the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley to True Person Guiyan.

Anyway, Baili Qingfeng wasn't cursing his mother.

Ten Thousand Beasts Valley.

White Jade Bone Tower.

Although True Person Guiyan was a tall and thin old woman, she stood straight, her face displaying both arrogance and stinginess. She maintained sufficient respect for Xiao Ran, yet remained as stingy as a miser.

"Junior Brother Xiao, how have you been?"

Xiao Ran didn't bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point.

"Senior Sister Guiyan, I need some Spirit Beast to help me cultivate."

True Person Guiyan's face darkened.

"Junior Brother Xiao, please return. There is a plague raging in the valley recently, so it is not a good time for hunting."

Xiao Ran felt as if she had banged her head against a wall, finding it as solid as an iron plate. Her head was throbbing with pain. She changed the subject and asked, "Let me ask you a question, Senior Sister: which mountain in Zongzhi Mountain is the richest?"

True Person Guiyan said, "It's definitely not the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley."

Which mountain is that?

"It is naturally Sword-Tempering Mountain."

Xiao Ran clapped his hands together, making a loud sound.

"That's right. I've connected Junior Sister Zhehui with Direct Disciple of the Sword-Tempering Mountain. In the future, the sect will definitely give more resources to the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley. Once Gao Shi Brother Gao becomes an elder of the Sword-Tempering Mountain, the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley will become even more prosperous."

"That's still just a rumor."

True Person Guiyan glanced sideways at Xiao Ran, his old face still sullen, and cautiously took out a hunting Jade Slip.

"This is all the quota I have for this month. I'll give you some, but don't go too far."

"Thank you, senior sister."

Xiao Ran handed over the Jade Slip and entered the valley.

The valley is filled with caves and wetlands, lush with vegetation, dark and damp, yet permeated with an eerie atmosphere.

Strange, the Spirit Beast don't seem as vibrant as before.

Xiao Ran initially thought the plague was True Person Guiyan, but after walking around the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley, he discovered that there really was a plague.

To be precise, it's not a plague, but Wraith Poison.

Xiao Ran caught a male black sheep at the Golden Core Realm and, upon closer inspection, discovered that this was a lingering effect left over from when the Gray Mist entered the Spirit Beast's body during his last confrontation with Little Mist.

Xiao Ran was startled.

The Gray Mist and the Wraith Poison are actually related!

This shows that the people in the Black Ring Group have done in-depth research on the constitution of the Wraith and are already able to use the Wraith's Wraith Fog.

Devouring the Great Netherworld, utilizing the Wraith Fog...

No wonder these people dare to call themselves saviors; they must have mastered the most advanced productive forces, right? The poisoned Spirit Beast had a faint Gray Mist constantly floating in its eyes, and gray spots occasionally appeared on its body.

The Wraith Poison is still in its incubation period and doesn't seem to be very harmful.

Therefore, the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley did not go to find the True Person Yinyue.

But Xiao Ran felt that the matter was very critical, and that the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley had been careless.

After walking around, Xiao Ran discovered that the Wraith Poison was not only spreading from sheep to sheep, but also from Spirit Beast to spirit Spirit Beast, and even from the environment to Spirit Beast.

We can't delay any longer! Xiao Ran made the decision immediately.

Whether it is a confirmed case or a suspected case, all cases must be taken to Sword-Wielding Mountain for isolation.

Immediately.
