The Highest Realm of Movie-Watching, Happy New Year!

Xiao Ran and the other two returned to Sword-Wielding Mountain.

As soon as Chuyan got back, she ran into Xiao Ran's bedroom, closed the door, buried her head in the eight-square-meter quilt, and cried.

Xiao Ran pointed to the Disciple Quarters with his finger towards his Master.

Lingzhou Yue has money, she drinks with a flushed face, full of energy, and walks with a swagger.

After being pointed at by Xiao Ran, he was stunned for a while before he understood and shouted loudly towards the Disciple Quarters:

"Chuyan, when will my clothes be ready? My Grandmaster is rich now and his status is different. He needs to wear nicer clothes to Chaos City."

Chuyan buried her head in the blanket, but her ears suddenly perked up as she heard the key phrase. "Wear nicer clothes! Clothes even nicer than the Elder Azure Robe..."

Such a difficult task was actually assigned to her!

"Yes!"

Chuyan suddenly perked up, threw off the covers, pushed open the door, and happily ran off to the valley to collect cotton and silkworm cocoons, carrying her Sewing Needle.

Xiao Ran shook his head.

"She has completely taken on the form of Pastoral Fairy."

Lingzhou Yue, however, gazed into the distance and suddenly sighed:

"Actually, I envy her. In the Dharma Ending Era, she can still stick to her hobbies, carefree, without having to think about becoming stronger or having any pressure to survive. She is so carefree that she doesn't seem like a Sword-Wielder."

How did you manage to say those words?

"Didn't I bear all of this alone?" Xiao Ran thought to himself.

Before Xiao Ran reply, Lingzhou Yue continued:

"That's why I didn't retaliate when you drew random pictures of women. In this Dharma Ending Era, everyone is tired, and having a hobby is not easy."

Although his Master was trying to excuse himself, Xiao Ran still wanted to say—

Long live understanding!

Long live the notebook!

"As long as I'm by Master's side, I won't feel tired."

Xiao Ran, filled with filial piety, said respectfully.

Lingzhou Yue lifted the wine pot, put her hands on her hips, and loosened her clothes.

"Next time you draw me, please try to make me look thinner, like the Yun Yun you drew, so that I can better show off my temperament."

You want elegance? Your aura is enough! "How should I put it? Master's physique, it's not a matter of being thin or thin, it's..."

Lingzhou Yue's expression turned cold, and her sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly.

What's the problem?

"No problem!"

Xiao Ran stood at attention and shouted loudly, then changed the subject.

"Is Master also going to Chaos City for this Heaven's Chosen Assembly?"

The thought of taking Immortal Crystal and hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones to Chaos City and wag her Divine Dragon Tail Swing like a dragon filled Lingzhou Yue with excitement, and the way she looked at Xiao Ran was completely different.

I just want to kiss her! This is a money-making genius, I must carry her with me at all times!

If Xiao Ran were to go alone, he would immediately hide the money he earned as his private savings.

Low emotional intelligence: I'll take you to help me make money.

High EQ: "Of course, I'll introduce you to my wife."

Xiao Ran's tone suddenly became more animated.

"Good!"

Why are you shouting so loudly!

Lingzhou Yue bit her lip in anger, staring at him intently.

"Don't overthink it. My master's wife and I are of the same generation. Wouldn't it mess up the generations if we were together? It would be better to introduce our daughter to you after we have a child."

Since they couldn't give away a daughter, they decided to give away a male offspring instead? Wouldn't that be even better! It's a pity they can't have another child.

The master's wife doesn't matter; Xiao Ran's main goal is to take advantage of his Master.

Xiao Ran hurriedly said:

"I don't care about my master's wife, what I mainly want is to go on a trip with my Master."

"At least you have some conscience."

Lingzhou Yue withdrew her gaze, which was both breathtakingly beautiful and seemingly capable of devouring people.

"My main purpose in going to Chaos City this time is not for the Heaven's Chosen Assembly, but to bring Fight the Wraith's talent to Chaos City and benefit the Cultivation World."

Um...

Fight the Wraith and bring blessings to the Cultivation World.

It makes sense logically.

Xiao Ran nodded in agreement, then asked:

"Would Master like to use the hot spring?"

"Not for now."

"Lu Pingtian is a bit stronger than I expected. He made me break a sweat. I'll go rest in the pool for a bit."

Lingzhou Yue was taken aback.

You, a Qi Refining cultivator, defeated Nascent Soul cultivator, and you only broke a sweat?

You're putting on airs with me again! However, considering you did something good today and earned me an Immortal Crystal, I won't hold it against you.

Thinking of this, Lingzhou Yue deliberately spoke softly, "You've worked hard today. Let me help you rest this time."

First, you push me violently, then you use your feet to help me cultivate?

Xiao Ran's head ached whenever he thought about being kicked off the mountain by his Master last time.

"No need, I can recover on my own."

Lingzhou Yue was displeased and said with a stern face:

Why do you look so disgusted?

Xiao Ran simply laid his cards on the table, saying with a bitter face:

"Master, please spare me! This disciple really wants to rest this time and doesn't want to be kicked off the mountain."

Lingzhou Yue then remembered what happened last time and gave a coquettish snort, as if she were angry.

"Do you think anyone is qualified to be kicked off the mountain by me? This time, I won't punish you physically, I'll just give you some Spiritual Power."

"Real?"

"Real."

Xiao Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright then."

Lingzhou Yue had only walked a few steps when she turned back and called out into the valley:

"Chuyan, you should come too. You've expended much more energy than him this time."

Chuyan had been listening intently for a while.

"Replenishing Spiritual Power, helping me cultivate... these are all disgusting words."

But if you bring her along, these words suddenly become more civilized.

Is this to Replenish Mana? My Grandmaster still loves me after all! "Coming!"

Chuyan's face flushed slightly, and she suddenly found herself in the Bamboo Forest.

As it turns out, soaking in a hot spring in broad daylight can be quite an experience.

The mist was exceptionally light today, and the warm autumn sunlight shone through.

Cherry-red petals fluttered up and down, the gentle breeze like a brush, writing poetry that soothed the soul.

To enjoy the shimmering autumn light, Lingzhou Yue waved her hand to disperse the mist.

Get ready to go into battle without a vacuum!

Fortunately, there is a seal Hot Spring Cliff that isolates divine sense and sight, so it is absolutely safe.

But even with constant vigilance, it's hard to guard against a thief within your own household.

Especially after Xiao Ran started painting, the way he looked at women changed; it was as if his eyes were shining.

Lingzhou Yue herself was one thing, but Chuyan was right there beside her; she couldn't let this kid take advantage of her.

Too lazy to get dressed and take a bath, she had Chuyan put a thick silk bandage over Xiao Ran's eyes.

Chuyan still felt uneasy.

"Grandmaster, could his divine sense see this?"

Lingzhou Yue had already taken off her clothes and gone into the water.

"Didn't Little Qiong Peak teach you that divine sense can only see the flow of Spiritual Power, not its color, shape, and texture?"

Xiao Ran was wearing an eye patch and was calm and composed, with no intention of peeking at anything.

As a result, he was aroused by his Master's words about color, shape and texture.

So, without changing his expression or skipping a beat, he activated his full-level Art of Resonance, simulating and recreating the most original colors, shapes, and textures.

I remember the last time he added Graphics Card to the Bamboo Tile and used the large screen on the bamboo board to see the beautiful scenery of Hundred Herbs Peak, he still felt a bit like "knowledge gained from books is never enough; true understanding comes from practice".

Now see it for yourself: 8K high-definition picture quality, ray tracing, physiological engine, ultimate color and texture...

This is the legendary highest level of movie watching—

The eyes see the code, but the heart remains uncensored! Sunlight shines on the rippling water.

Peach blossoms are interspersed with cherry blossom red.

This is the scenery that the Cultivation World should have! This is a moment of comfort for Xiao Ran.

The vast Spiritual Power of his Master in the water nourished and caressed his Dantian; though not very delicate, it was warm enough.

A bamboo plate floats on the water, filled with colorful and appetizing pastries.

Xiao Ran ate some beef jerky and Mutton Jerky.

But for some reason, even though I was resting and replenishing my Spiritual Power, I always felt like I wasn't getting enough nutrition.

Suddenly there was a reaction.

The Black Ring reacted!

Xiao Ran's divine sense left the pool and immediately probed into the Black Ring Group.

A floating text entered my mind.

[Little Mist: Lu Pingtian of the Saint Demon Sect ascended to the Nascent Soul Stage at the Sword Tomb on Zongzhi Mountain, wielding the Heavenly Demon Sword, but was defeated by Xiao Ran.]

Little Mist?

Xiao Ran almost forgot about Little Mist's existence.

Is he still observing from the shadows?

The message was sent almost half an hour after the incident ended. Does this mean that Little Mist was not at the scene just now?

Therefore, it seems that Li Wuxie's trio, Huangfu Qun and his son, several Discipline Hall Law Enforcer, and the five members of the Saint Demon Sect are all innocent suspects.

Master Boyun seemed to have something to do and left for a short time, but she later witnessed him sending Lu Pingtian flying with a single blow. She shouldn't have sent the message so late...

As soon as Little Mist sent out the message, the Black Ring Group reacted immediately.

Faster than usual! The person who responded was Gentleman, who had previously threatened to take him under his wing.

[Gentleman: Can I still trust you?]

Little Mist remained silent for a while, seemingly searching for the right words.

After all, something went wrong last time, almost causing the Primate to fail.

[Little Mist: This child should be overestimated as much as possible, but it's best not to underestimate him.]

Is the whole group about to become like Didi? Xiao Ran peeked at the screen and even felt a secret thrill.

[Gentleman: Are you there?]

[Little Mist: I wasn't there. There were many powerful individuals present. I observed from a distance and later confirmed the matter through various inquiries.]

Not present? So it really wasn't Master Boyun? Or was he deliberately saying that to conceal his identity? [Gentleman: Li Wuxie might have some swordsmanship skills, but is Qiu Renjun considered a strongman?]

Goodness, even a combined powerhouse isn't considered a strongman.

You're really good at bragging.

Xiao Ran didn't have a good impression of Gentleman, always feeling that his strength was the weakest in the group.

[Little Mist: I later discovered through my investigation that Li Wuxie may have already suffered a loss at the last Sword Inheritance Assembly against Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran is becoming increasingly suspicious; you should be careful.]

You actually managed to find out this through investigation?

Xiao Ran felt a chill run down his spine.

This Little Mist doesn't seem to be anyone important, but he has quite a few investigative methods and is well hidden.

[Gentleman: I just captured Lu Pingtian from Qiu Renjun. That kid seems to have been Xiao Ran silly by Xiao Ran. How can a mere Qi Refining defeat Nascent Soul cultivator? It's making me more and more excited. I want to go to Zongzhi Mountain to investigate right away.]

Xiao Ran was taken aback.

Wait, you can take Lu Pingtian away from Qiu Renjun?

Judging from Gentleman's demeanor, I initially thought he was only as strong as Lu Pingtian, the weakest in the group. Yet he managed to snatch someone from the Body Integration Realm expert? [No Money Get Lost! Has this era become so exaggerated that Qi Refining can defeat Nascent Soul Realm Nascent Soul? No wonder Lingzhou Yue risked her life to kill the Ink Flood Dragon in the Withered Sea Pool; she had already seen this boy's talent and decided to nurture him.]

[Body Severing: Perhaps it's not a talent; I have a vague feeling it might be the rebirth of a powerful being, or the reincarnation of an ancient immortal.]

Yes, yes, I'm almost a god!

Xiao Ran didn't know whether to be worried or happy.

As soon as the Body Severing praised Xiao Ran, Gentleman couldn't sit still any longer.

[Gentleman: No, I have to go to Zongzhi Mountain right now and get to the bottom of this.]

At this moment, a woman who wanted to know Xiao Ran's true strength appeared online.

[Primate: Lingzhou Yue is difficult even for me in my true form, so don't go and throw your life away. Now is not the time to investigate Xiao Ran. Wait until the Heaven's Chosen Assembly and go see for yourself. Perhaps there are more than just Xiao Ran as a genius. If the time is right, bring him to the Apostle Headquarters.]

The forest east of Chaos City.

Beneath the tree, in the heart of the raging fire.

The man in the cloth strip recalled witnessing Lingzhou Yue kill Ming years ago, and tactfully replied—

[Gentleman: That's fine.]

Is Master really that powerful?

Xiao Ran tried to unravel it.

Gentleman was able to take Lu Pingtian away from Qiu Renjun. Regardless of what methods he used, his combat ability should be no less than Qiu Renjun's.

But the Gentleman is not as good as Primate.

The Primate also said they couldn't defeat their Master.

In other words, Master is at least three levels stronger than Qiu Renjun?

No wonder he didn't give him a hard time earlier...

Do you remember Master once said, that I am not as strong as he imagined?

Is it modesty?

Or is she just putting on airs? Xiao Ran suddenly couldn't see through her.

He focused his divine sense fully, his eyes narrowed slightly, and all his divine thoughts were concentrated on his Master.

I can't see through it.

Too vast.
