Chapter 316: Li Ran’s True Strength!
In the Sect Master’s bedroom.
Li Ran laid back in the pool. The warm water that contained Qi washed over his body, making him feel relaxed.
Chu Lingchuan still didn’t agree to sleep with him. Of course, Li Ran was only teasing her.
However, as compensation, other than the Sect Master’s bedroom, he could freely enter and leave other places, including the bath.
This pool was for the Sect Master’s personal use. There had never been a second person using it.
Sandal wood in the nearby incense burner curled in spirals. Smelling the faint fragrance in the air, Li Ran shook his head and smiled. “I didn’t expect that she would enjoy such things…”
His impression of Chu Lingchuan had greatly changed.
At first, he only felt that she was a crazy woman. She was drunk and unreasonable, and her style was simple and crude.
But after a few days of being with her, he discovered that this was not the case.
Although she liked drinking, she was not without restraint.
Although she was unreasonable, she had her own rules.
Thinking about it carefully, if she really was an unreliable person, how could she possibly nurture a disciple like Yue Jianli?
Moreover, her personality seemed rough, but in reality, she was very shy.
Her eyes flashed, and her cheeks blushed shyly, forming a sharp contrast to her usual strength.
Even Sheng Zi Li, who was used to seeing the world, could not help but feel his heart race.
“My master is quite cute, and she is very loyal. Her temper is also to my liking. She just loves hitting people.”
“Out of the eight sects, there are only three empresses. Now, they are all my masters, and two of them are my wives…”
Sheng Zi Li rubbed his chin. “In the background, I can be considered the number one person in the heavens, right?”
His backer was simply too great.
However, this made him a little worried.
Matter between Leng Wuyan and Yi Qinglan hadn’t been clarified yet, and both of them were in a misunderstanding.
Now that Chu Lingchuan had gained another master, his relationship with Leng Wuyan was extremely bad.
Recalling the dream he had that day, Li Ran felt a chill run down his back as the three masters fell into a daze.
With these three people’s temper and strength, they would probably be able to turn the earth upside down.
“Forget it. Let’s take it one step at a time. They can’t chop me up, right?” Li Ran shook his head and stopped thinking.
His mind sank into his dantian.
The little person in his dantian was still sitting cross-legged. Its entire body was like jade, and the three-colored light behind its back was shining.
The golden light represented supreme dao energy. The dazzling light was pure Buddhist energy, and the black mist was demonic energy.
Li Ran was temporarily summoned to Soul Devouring Power.
This magical equipment was originally Yu Ye’s, and it was called the Soul Devouring Black Fog. It had the ability to devour the soul of others to replenish itself.
He hadn’t taken this thing seriously after seizing it, but he had used it to absorb a large amount of the heart devil’s soul in the Death End Ground of the Tianshu Institute, causing it to undergo some sort of transformation.
The most obvious was the awakening of the Six-Armed Giant Demon.
Six-Armed Giant Demon was extremely powerful. Not only could it absorb soul energy to feed Li Ran, it could also grow by devouring his soul.
He had already devoured several Deity Transformation experts, as well as two experts of the Heavenly Tribulation.
Not only had Li Ran’s soul force greatly increased, but the Soul Devouring Black Fog had also become even denser. It was as thick as night in his dantian.
He had a total of three Dharma idols.
In terms of pure combat strength, the Six-Armed Giant Demon deserved first place.
Not only would he be able to destroy his body, but he would also be able to attack his soul. He might even be able to create a spirit treasure.
As for the remaining two, the Stellar Giant contained boundless aura, while the furious Golden Giant focused on suppressing demons and killing demons.
They could be considered to have their own strengths.
From the battle with the black-robed man, Li Ran realized the importance of soul power.
With his current soul force, he was stronger than an ordinary late-stage Deity Transformation cultivator. After devouring the Heavenly Tribulation soul force, he would be able to reach the peak of the Deity Transformation and enter the early stage of the Heavenly Tribulation realm.
This was already extremely exaggerated.
After all, his cultivation was only at the Deity Transformation realm!
Of course, soul force was only part of his strength.
Cultivation base, divine ability, magic treasure, dao fusion… All of them were important factors in determining one’s combat strength.
Based on Li Ran’s own calculations, his current combined power should be able to surpass the peak of the Deity Transformation realm.
But compared to the Heavenly Tribulation, there was still a distance.
“Raising one’s own cultivation base is the most important thing. One has to make the dao merge as soon as possible!
“Only when you reach the dao merge stage will you be able to communicate with my two masters in depth.”
A righteous smile appeared on Sheng Zi Li’s face.
At this moment, he thought of something. “Oh right, how’s Shen Ning’s cultivation? It’s late. It’s time for dinner.”
He and Chu Lingchuan had already on the path of immortality, but Shen Ning was still a child who had yet to cultivate her Qi. She still had to eat three meals a day.
Li Ran stood up and left the bath. Water on his body evaporated completely. He put on his clothes and walked out of his bedroom.
……
In the training room, Shen Ning sat cross-legged on the futon with her eyes slightly closed. A faint airflow surged around her.
Chu Lingchuan was pleasantly surprised.
She hadn’t expected that Shen Ning’s innate talent would be so strong. After just half a day of training, she already had a clear sense of spirit energy.
At this speed, she would be able to train successfully within a day.
She nodded in satisfaction, “As expected of a Daoist and Martial cultivator, this cultivation speed is simply ridiculous!”
At this moment, Shen Ning stopped her Qi training and opened her big black and white eyes.
“Why aren’t you cultivating? What happened?”
Shen Ning said pitifully, “I’m hungry.”
After she finished speaking, she let out a “coo” sound.
Chu Lingchuan slapped her forehead. “I almost forgot about this matter.”
She had never had the habit of eating, but she had completely forgotten that Shen Ning had yet to cease this need.
Thinking about it carefully, she could only eat at the Li Family’s restaurant this morning. It was almost dark now, so it was strange if the little girl wasn’t hungry!
Chu Lingchuan was a bit apologetic. She stood up and said, “Let’s go. This master will bring you to find some food.”
“Mn.” Shen Ning got up and followed her obediently.
Two of them left the training room and walked out of the palace.
Just as they passed the dining hall, they stopped in unison.
Fragrance of the food filled the air, making one’s index finger tremble.
“Master, it’s a delicious smell!” Shen Ning gulped, pulling on the corner of Chu Lingchuan’s clothes.
“I can smell it too.” Chu Lingchuan was confused.
It had been a long time since the sleeping quarters had gone too far. Why would someone cook today?
“Let’s go in and take a look.”
Two of them walked into the dining hall.
There was a sumptuous meal on the table. It was steaming hot. Although it wasn’t considered rare or delicious, it was still full of flavor and fragrance.
Chu Lingchuan scratched her head, “This is…”
At that moment, a series of footsteps came from behind. “Have you finished cultivating?”
“Li Ran?”
