"You are indeed very mysterious."

Li Rouyin stepped forward, the doubts in her heart unspoken.

Could it be that their god holds Lu Ran in too high regard?

According to their god's will, in the future, if the Forget Spring Sect truly faces a calamity, could Lu Ran extend a helping hand and protect her?

The god that Lu Ran worships, what kind of entity is it...

It's truly troubling.

Lord Wang Quan, why won't you tell me?

As she pondered, Li Rouyin crossed the endlessly trembling red threads and reached Lu Ran.

Lu Ran spoke, "Lord Wang Quan has overpraised me."

"Sometimes arrogant, sometimes humble," Li Rouyin whispered softly, "You really are a paradoxical person."

Lu Ran: "..."

Li Rouyin pulled off the red thread and handed it to Lu Ran, "Here, eat this."

Lu Ran holding a large string of copper coins, his lifelike pupils stared at the sumptuous dishes in front of him.

After several seconds, Lu Ran looked embarrassedly at Li Rouyin beside him, "How do I eat this?"

Li Rouyin chuckled and placed her hands behind her back, "Aren't you the self-proclaimed Ran... Hmm."

There were gods present in the hall, so Li Rouyin, being somewhat wary, did not address the god.

She paused, a playful smile on her face, "With your prowess, how could you fail to reach that delicious food at your lips?"

Lu Ran was stifled for a while, then looked at the woman again, "Could you help me open the lunchbox?"

Li Rouyin's smile broadened, "Are you asking for my help?"

Lu Ran whispered, "Little Rouyin, that's enough. This was given by Lord Wang Quan.

The god is standing right in the hall; you little devil, don't overdo it."

"Who are you calling a little devil?" Li Rouyin's expression was very displeased.

Those hollow eyes stared hauntingly into Lu Ran's eyes.

It made Lu Ran a bit creeped out...

"They are, they all are." Lu Ran pointed at the string of coins in his hand.

"Humph, eat then."

Li Rouyin lowered her hand, her fingers lightly brushed over the copper coins.

Accompanied by the sound of breaking, wherever her fingertips passed, five copper coins shattered.

"Hiss!!"

"Hiss..." Instantly, five Night Charm Dead Souls surged out.

The Night Charms wailed painfully and screamed furiously.

But more than that, they wailed with venting screams after escaping the boundless sea of suffering.

"Huh~"

Lu Ran's eyes surged with energy, frantically absorbing the streams of Night Charm Dead Souls.

"Hiss!"

"Hiss..." The cries of the Night Charm Clan grew even more mournful.

Having just escaped the 'Karma Fire Purgatory' within the copper coins, they were about to be absorbed into the Sculpture Garden, serving as nourishment for the Evil Sculpture.

Just Lu Ran alone was enough to completely devour the Night Charm Clan.

And before Lu Ran deployed his powerful methods, Li Rouyin had added a process of punishment and torment...

This group of Night Charms was indeed quite miserable.

"Mist Realm, Stream Realm, River Realm, Mist Realm, River Realm."

Thin threads like rain, lightly trembling.

A young man stood amid the red misty rain, murmuring continuously.

Such scenery, anyone who sees it would pause to admire it for a moment.

But if people could see the true scene, they would turn and run!

From a different dimensional perspective, that young man holding the string of coins had just devoured five dead souls!

The souls cried and shouted.

Yet they were powerless to escape, only to be sucked into those Pupils of the Dead World, ultimately brought before the Night Charm Evil Sculpture.

"Again!" Lu Ran spoke.

Li Rouyin's expression was astonished, "Eating so quickly?"

From the appearance of the Night Charms to them being devoured by Lu Ran took no more than 3 seconds!

Lu Ran urged, "Again, again!"

"What's the hurry, they are all yours." Li Rouyin's expression turned teasing, her fingertips once more swept across five copper coins.

Another five dead souls were released.

Hmm... it can be said they just left the wolves' lair to enter the tiger's cave.

"River Realm, River Realm, River Realm... Hm? River Realm?"

Lu Ran's expression brightened, there really were River Realm·Night Charm Dead Souls?

Did I just draw an SSR?

"Come on, keep drawing!" Lu Ran exclaimed excitedly, "Let's do it in one go!"

Can't you strive a little?

Just draw me a Sea Realm!

"You really are..." Li Rouyin's expression was complex, shocked by the speed at which Lu Ran devoured the dead souls.

Of course, she didn't know that Lu Ran first sent the dead souls into the Sculpture Garden before digesting and absorbing them separately.

"Crack, crack."

Li Rouyin's fingertips fell, this time she released over a dozen additional dead souls.

Lu Ran's eyes immediately sparkled!

Good, keep them coming!

Damn!

Why is it the Mist Realm again, I don't want the guaranteed minimum...

Again, draw again... wow, a golden legend!

Another River Realm has come out!

"Wuu~"

"Hiss!" A ghastly wind swept through the hall, heavy with ghostly energy.

Within the beautiful red rain,

stood a peculiar pair of male and female.

The black-dressed girl's skirt fluttered, her jade fingers lightly swept over the copper coins.

She seemed to be showing great mercy, releasing the dead souls that had been tormented by the karma fire one by one.

The young man, however, with his sinister and horizontal pupils, devoured the freshly liberated dead souls.

Dragging them into a deeper abyss...

"Huh~" After a while, Lu Ran sighed.

The chilling wind in the hall gradually ceased.

The string of copper coins was completely shattered, only the last coin at the very bottom hanging lonely.

Is it... over?

A total of 700 Night Charms, all devoured by me?

Lu Ran's originally comfortable expression turned somewhat disappointed.

After all,

joyful times are always so fleeting.

It's called a "700 combo draw," but it doesn't feel like it stops!

Lu Ran turned his head, looking expectantly at Li Rouyin beside him.

"What's wrong?" Rarely, there was a hint of concern in Li Rouyin's tone.

As a Forget Spring Believer, her method of using dead souls is to imprison them and slowly refine them, thereby transforming everything of the dead souls into nourishment for herself.

While Lu Ran's violent devouring of the dead souls really surprised Li Rouyin.

Is such crudeness really okay?

Li Rouyin was worried about whether Lu Ran could suffer a backlash.

But what she didn't expect was that Lu Ran turned his head and looked at another string of copper coins?

What does that mean, you still want to eat?

Li Rouyin was completely shocked!

Usually presenting herself with elegance and aloofness, even her tone of voice went up a notch: "You're dreaming!"

Lu Ran: "..."

Why are you shouting so loudly?

My Evil Technique·Evil Recognition isn't weak, even if you curse me quietly, I can hear it.

No need to shout in my face...

By the way, if I could recruit Li Rouyin as my Angel Envoy under my command, that would be fantastic!

This is purely a Soul Hooker!

From now on, you go out and hook souls, and I'll wait to feast.

Simply blissful~

You might as well not call your mansion "Youhuang Crossing" anymore, just change its name to "Ran Sect Crossing"!

Don't send the dead souls for transcendence.

You can just ferry them directly to me...

The more Lu Ran thought about it, the more he looked forward to it.

Who knows when such a wonderful day will come.

At the moment, of course, it's impossible.

Li Rouyin has a revered god, and Lord Wang Quan is attentively nurturing her, this single seedling.

Why would she stop being a jewel of the Divine Sect to come help you?

Hmm... this is also good.

Li Rouyin can enjoy the blessings of Lord Wang Quan alone, enjoy all the resources within the Divine Sect, and naturally progress rapidly.

Perhaps one day in the future, she will come to my side or I will recruit her, it shall be even better.

"Are you upset?" Li Rouyin's quiet words woke a contemplative Lu Ran.

"Not at all, why would I be," Lu Ran immediately responded, "Just thinking."

Li Rouyin nodded slightly, her heart slightly relieved.

She had thought her own tone had been too harsh, displeasing this Heaven's Chosen.

Otherwise, with others, Li Rouyin certainly could have been straightforward.

"Here." Lu Ran handed the red thread to Li Rouyin.

Li Rouyin suddenly smiled, "You really are slow."

"Ah?" Lu Ran was a bit confused.

Li Rouyin looked slightly reproachful: "I really don't know what to say about you.

You don't take the real treasure, only knowing to eat."

"This?" Lu Ran looked at the red thread in his hand, his eyes naturally falling on the lonely copper coin at the bottom.

Unlike the other copper coins, this coin existed in the real world.

Thousands of red threads hung in the hall, each ending with one such real copper coin.

Li Rouyin: "How could the gift Lord Wang Quan gave you for your meeting be just some dead souls?"

Lu Ran was very surprised.

In his heart, just that 700-combo draw had already been generous enough.

Before absorbing the "Night Charm copper string," Lu Ran could only activate the Night Charm Evil Sculpture. At most, upgrading it only to the Stream Realm.

If Immortal Sheep sneaked some, the realm of that evil sculpture would be even lower.

Overall, if they wanted to nurture and promote the Night Charm Evil Sculpture, they would have to find another opportunity.

The Demon Cave dwelling of the Night Charm Clan was not open to the public, making such opportunities really hard to come by.

But after this draw, as long as Lu Ran activates the evil sculpture, the Night Charm sculpture could directly ascend to the River Realm!

And it would be among the relatively higher tiers within the River Realm!

During the absorbing journey of those dead souls, Lu Ran roughly estimated:

The total of Mist Realm Souls + Stream Realm Souls was about equivalent to the total number of River Realm Souls.

Coincidentally, this was also similar to the structure of the dead souls he personally absorbed during the Night of Ghosts event for the fifteen-year-olds.

This also indirectly indicated that Li Rouyin did indeed imprison this group of Evil Demon dead souls on the night of the fifteen-year-olds.

The difference is, Lu Ran did not encounter any River Realm Evil Demons during his night with the Night Charm Clan's Night of Ghosts.

Yet here, he unlocked four or five River Realm·Night Charm Dead Souls!

Aren't these meeting gifts generous?

Or perhaps, Lord Wang Quan doesn't know of the existence of the God Demon Sculpture Garden?

She doesn't realize how great the assistance she's given Lu Ran is, thinking perhaps that Immortal Sheep loves to eat dead souls and can nourish itself?

"This copper coin?"

Lu Ran managed his expression carefully, pulling on the red thread and picking up the copper coin in his hand.

Li Rouyin: "Use your little brain, what could it be that makes its appearance last?"

Lu Ran frowned in thought.

Li Rouyin reminded him: "You had already said the answer when you first entered the hall."

Lu Ran trembled with realization and spoke: "Magic Artifact?"

Strictly speaking, Magic Artifacts and Divine Weapons are essentially no different.

Both possess an Artifact Spirit and both qualify to activate what's called a "Domain."

It is merely that such treasures are not shown as bladed weapons, so calling them "weapons" is somewhat inappropriate.

"Mm," Li Rouyin gently nodded, adding, "one of them."

Lu Ran: "One of them?"

Li Rouyin gestured towards the red threads in the hall, pointing to the copper coins at the ends, "Only when combined together do they form a true Magic Artifact."

Lu Ran: "By giving me this copper coin, wouldn't that ruin the integrity of the Magic Artifact?"

Li Rouyin gently nodded, "Lord Wang Quan has already ordered me to forge another."

Lu Ran was somewhat at a loss for words.

This is a Magic Artifact!

Even if it's just one part, that still represents one of the most top-tier equipment fragments in this world!

Its rarity, and the effects and energy it can unleash, are absolutely matchless!

Lord Wang Quan,

Do you really need to give such a valuable meeting gift?

Even at the expense of the Magic Artifact's integrity?

And the more valuable the gift, the more challenging the request she seeks must be...
