" Ling'er, Ling'er..." He Gui whispered hoarsely in Bai Ling's ear, "I will never let you go again, never..."
"Ah, I will never leave you again, never again..." Bai Ling had escaped from the jaws of death, was now sobbing uncontrollably.
She was extremely conflicted at this moment. Today was the first time she had realized that Ah He loved her so much, that he was willing to give up everything for her... yet she kept thinking about leaving him...
She suddenly wanted to denounce Qiu Tian in front of He Gui, but she didn't want Qiu Tian to die like this. She didn't believe that Qiu Gege really had no feelings for her at all.
It's all fake, it must be that woman named Bai Lan who used some means to threaten Brother Qiu!
Bai Ling Lingzhi refused to believe Qiu Tian's betrayal, but couldn't figure out why. Her mind was in complete chaos, and in the end, she could only give up thinking and hug He Gui tightly.
He Gui also hugged Bai Ling tightly. The few short hours he had spent with Bai Ling felt like hundreds of years. Feeling the familiar warmth in his arms, He Gui closed his eyes and suddenly felt like he possessed the whole world.
At the same time, Bai Lan, who also possessed an entire world, stood inside the Void Stone, looking at the Spirit Stone Mountain in front of her, and let out a series of healthy laughs.
Who says being love-struck is bad? Being love-struck is wonderful!
"In just a few hours, you've amassed 30 million Spirit Stone, a spirit treasure, and three eighth-order Demon Beast corpses!! Am I dreaming?" Even Elder Fu couldn't help but be startled at this moment.
He finally understood what Bai Lan had been doing during those few hours she was gone. She did a great job! Bai Ling was indeed more important than Spirit Dao Flower!
"Wake up, Elder Fu, you're not dreaming." The system chuckled. "It's time to find a high-level Formation Master. The sixth-order Spirit Gathering Formation array crafted by True Lord Xu is no longer worthy of your status!"
After the system finished speaking, it shook its finger and began to calculate. "I have done a simple calculation. If the Spirit Gathering Formation in the cultivation room is replaced with an eighth-level Spirit Gathering Formation, which costs 1,000 spirit Spirit Stone per day, the host can break through to the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment stage in three months. If an additional drop of Ice Flame Bone Wine is added every day, the host will probably break through to the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Crossing stage in one year and three months."
"In addition, it is recommended to take one Spirit-Replenishing Pill daily during the process. This will not only accelerate your cultivation speed but also accumulate a certain amount of Spirit Poison. Once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you can seize the Nascent Soul stage Divine Ability in Long Aotian's fortuitous opportunity that transforms Spirit Poison into a poison technique." When saying this, the system thought of Long Aotian and even deliberately blocked Elder Fu.
"What the True Lord Cannon Fodder said is exactly what I wanted to say. Let me think, Nascent Soul stage Formation Master..." Bai Lan fell into deep thought and began to search through the harem register, circling the names of several people.
Elder Fu was speechless. What about his past, when he toiled for over a hundred years to break through from the early Nascent Soul stage? How come her cultivation was so effortless? She understood all the Cultivation Method after just one reading and learned the Divine Ability after just one glance...
Ignoring Elder Fu's strange gaze, Bai Lan diligently sorted through the spoils of war within the Void Stone. Using her authority, Bai Lan created a separate space within the Void Stone, moved the Spirit Stone Mountain inside, planted the Spirit Dao Flower next to the Evergreen Ancient Tree, and instructed the Artifact Spirit to water it with the spiritual spring every day. Finally, she studied the main cultivation Cultivation Method of the He Gui that she had collected earlier in the Qiu Tian.
After dealing with these urgent matters, Bai Lan waited a month before arriving at the small dark room to await True Monarch Jiuge's reply.
If True Monarch Jiuge compromises, then the Spirit Taming Sect will have another Spirit Transformation... If she doesn't compromise... then reload the save and try a different approach.
"I didn't expect a month to pass so quickly..." Jiuge shook her head and sighed.
"For Nascent Soul cultivator with a lifespan of a thousand years, a month is indeed just a moment."
"These past few days, I've heard those two little fellows by your side chattering away quite a bit. Just how many people have betrayed you to be so keen on taking away a cultivator's wisp of soul?" True Monarch Jiuge, puzzled.
Compared to those who force people to their deaths or use them as cultivation vessels to seize their cultivation, Bai Lan's attitude towards his subordinates can be considered extremely kind.
There are even so-called holidays.
"You want to control everyone around you. After years of cultivation, is there really no one around you who can gain your trust without taking away your natal Primordial Spirit?" True Monarch Jiuge asked in confusion.
"Yes, I only trust myself." Bai Lan nodded, not denying it.
Human nature is fickle, and it's too extravagant to entrust one's life to someone else; the stake is one's life, so she couldn't do it.
"... I can grant your request, but besides what you previously promised, there is one more thing I need you to do." After saying this, True Monarch Jiuge raised his hand and used his Divine Sense to draw a portrait.
The figure depicted by True Monarch Jiuge was none other than the Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivator who had previously Nine Yin Secret Realm. Bai Lan had lost her life there, and she still vividly remembered it.
"I want you to find this person. Once you find her, just tell her that I am not dead and let her continue searching."
"... What's your relationship?" Bai Lan frowned slightly, sensing something was wrong.
"Oh, this person is my dao companion."
"Oh?!" Bai Lan's eyes suddenly lit up. " True Monarch Jiuge, are you considering inviting your dao companion to join the Spirit Taming Sect as well? That way, you two can be reunited!"
"Are you sure? She's here to kill me. She's been hunting me for years and has never given up." True Monarch Jiuge smiled as well, "I've been dead for many years, so I don't mind dying at her hands in the end. Do you want to join me in the end?"
That's unnecessary. If you don't get along, that's fine. She doesn't force family members to join the company.
Bai Lan decisively changed the subject, abandoning the "want it all" option, and placed two baskets of blank Jade Slip slips in front of True Monarch Jiuge: "I saw that the Formation Method Talismanic Script in True Lord's cave abode were quite mysterious and I liked them very much, so I asked True Lord to inscribe all the Cultivation Method, Divine Ability and array diagrams in my memory into the Jade Slip."
