Chapter 853: Cheap Big Brother, Advance (5)
Immediately after, the beasts advanced wave after wave. Because Leng Ruoxue’s ‘Heaven Defying Skill’ broke through the fifth level, her beasts obtained the most benefits.
Among them, Bai Xu’s level was still the highest. He had reached level-nine Transcendent Divine Beasts, Feng Zhan was level-eight Transcendent Divine Beasts, and Charm was level-seven Transcendent Divine Beasts. He was just a step away from advancing to level-eight Transcendent Divine Beasts.
Baby and the other beasts directly advanced to level six Transcendent Divine Beasts. The Silver Wolves and the other slightly weaker beasts also reached level five Transcendent Divine Beasts. In short, Leng Ruoxue was still the biggest winner in this advancement. At the same time, the advancement of the beasts also brought her huge benefits.
As for the others, they naturally had their own gains. In short, everyone was happy.
After Leng Ruoxue and the others finished their advancement, everyone celebrated and then temporarily stayed in Azure Dragon Mountain.
A month after their advancement, Lin Liang and the others finally came out of seclusion.
Everyone chatted for a while, then Leng Ruoxue brought them to the canyon they had advanced to…
When Lin Liang and the others came out of seclusion, each of them advanced two levels consecutively and directly became Mystic Supremacies.
“I say, no wonder you old fellows can’t bear to come out of seclusion! So you’re all waiting to directly advance to Mystic Supremacy!” Leng Qingtian said in realization from the bracelet.
“Hehe, we were also forced into a corner! Who asked you to cultivate too quickly? Wouldn’t we be dragging you down if we don’t work hard?” Lin Liang said matter-of-factly. They were already clearly aware of the difference in their cultivations with Leng Qingtian and the others after they came out of seclusion the last time. So, they’d secretly decided that they wouldn’t come out unless they advanced to Mystic Supremacy. After all, everyone was suppressing their anger.
“Yes, that makes sense.” Leng Qingtian nodded in agreement. These old men were all unyielding, so he understood their thoughts very well. If it was him, he would probably do the same. However, he still felt quite aggrieved thinking that he hadn’t seen these old friends for so long!
“Hehe! We won’t be in seclusion often in the future, so don’t be like this!” Lin Liang couldn’t stand the expression on Leng Qingtian’s face.
“That’s right! I’ve been busy cultivating as a mystic cultivator recently and haven’t refined weapons for a long time, so I shouldn’t be in seclusion for the time being,” the disheveled old man promised.
“Yes, I’m afraid you must have lost touch!” Leng Qingtian gloated.
“Of course! No! I have to work hard on weapon refinement recently,” the disheveled old man said hurriedly. Then, he turned to Leng Ruoxue. “La.s.s, you have to provide me with more materials for weapon refinement.”
“Okay, just ask Qing Jue for it,” Leng Ruoxue reminded.
“Alright, I’ll look for him now.” After the disheveled old man said that, he ran off to look for Qing Jue anxiously.
“Grandpa, you guys chat. I’ll go out with the freak,” Leng Ruoxue suddenly said. After speaking, she pulled the freak out of the bracelet.
Cheng Wu and the others had just returned from their robbery.
Recently, Cheng Wu, Feng Da, and the others often brought people out to rob and pluck some herbs. They left early and returned late every day.
“Miss, we gained quite a lot today.” Feng Da raised the storage ring in his hand and said as if he was presenting a treasure.
“You robbed something good?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
“How can there be good things! The people who come to the Azure Dragon Mountain are afraid that they will be robbed by bandits. They won’t bring any valuable things at all. Alas! It’s not easy to be a professional bandit. If things go wrong, they will starve to death!” Feng Da said sympathetically. They didn’t know if they didn’t enter this line of work! It was also very difficult to be a bandit! Fortunately, the bandits in the Azure Dragon Mountain weren’t short of money and only treated robbery as a boring game. Otherwise, they would have starved to death long ago.
“What did you get?” Leng Ruoxue was puzzled.
“We dug up a lot of herbs of good quality and also found some rare ores,” Feng Da said happily. They might not be alchemists or Weapons Masters, but because of Miss, they had a certain understanding of herbs and ores. Ever since they came out of seclusion, they would wander around the mountain when they had nothing to do, robbing and picking herbs as a dragon.
“That’s right.” Leng Ruoxue took the ring and looked at it. Then she placed the ring into the bracelet and handed it to Qing Jue.
“Feng Da, Grandpa Lin and the others have also advanced to Mystic Supremacy. Let’s celebrate tonight. Prepare yourselves well,” Leng Ruoxue instructed.
“Okay! Miss, are you still in the s.p.a.ce?” Feng Da asked.
“No, just outside!” Leng Ruoxue said after some thought. Then she handed Feng Da a ring containing the food she had prepared beforehand.
“Okay, let’s go get ready,” Feng Da said and left.
At night, Feng Da and the others lit a few bonfires in the open s.p.a.ce in front of the house and roasted the packed fish and meat on the fire…
After all the food was ready, Leng Ruoxue and the others sat around the empty s.p.a.ce and started eating…
“It smells so good!” A familiar voice suddenly sounded in everyone’s ears halfway through their meal.
“Big Brother Li, you’re out of seclusion!” Leng Ruoxue said in surprise.
“Yes! Hehe!” Li Zhong said with a smile. He did not stand on ceremony and directly picked up a piece of grilled golden meat to eat.
“I came out after a few months of seclusion and my cultivation improved slightly. You must be anxious!” Li Zhong said understandingly. He knew that Leng Ruoxue and the others had other things to do. However, because they didn’t come out of seclusion, the Azure Dragon Mountain was leaderless, so they didn’t leave. Thinking of this, his heart couldn’t help warming.
“No, the environment of Azure Dragon Mountain is good, there are clear mountains and clear waters, and there are countless herbs, why are we in a hurry to leave!” Leng Ruoxue said honestly. They had gained quite a lot after staying in Azure Dragon Mountain for a few months.
“That’s good.” Li Zhong smiled foolishly.
“Big Brother Li, when are the other brothers coming out of seclusion!” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously. The spiritual energy in this Azure Dragon Mountain was very good. Moreover, there was a spirit vein under the ground where the bandits’ nest was. Therefore, if they didn’t have the ‘Heaven and Earth Bracelet’, this was a good place to cultivate.
“I’m afraid they won’t be able to come out for a while,” Li Zhong said after some thought.
“Oh! This is a good place to cultivate. You should treasure it.” Leng Ruoxue nodded.
“Yes. This might have been discovered by our Li family’s ancestor, but if that ancestor wasn’t powerful, he probably wouldn’t have been able to protect this Azure Dragon Mountain. Therefore, we will let the ancestors down if we don’t cultivate properly!” Li Zhong nodded.
“That’s right, Big Brother Li. There’s no banquet that doesn’t end in this world. Since you’ve already come out of seclusion, then we’ll leave tomorrow. We’ll meet again!” Leng Ruoxue said bluntly. This was something she had long planned.
“Okay, I know Sister Xue’er has other things to do. Big Brother won’t force you to stay since you want to leave. However, you have to remember that this Azure Dragon Mountain will always be your home and you are welcome to return anytime,” Li Zhong said very sincerely.
“Yes, Big Brother forgot that I still have your Green Dragon Mountain’s token in my hand! You can come anytime you want,” Leng Ruoxue reminded.
“Hehe! That’s right! Sister Xue’er, if there’s anything in the future that requires Big Brother’s help, send a letter to Big Brother. Big Brother won’t refuse,” Li Zhong reminded.
“Okay, I won’t stand on ceremony with my brother,” Leng Ruoxue promised.
Because of Li Zhong’s unexpected appearance, this meal actually became everyone’s farewell banquet in the end. However, everyone was still very happy. After dinner, Feng Da and the others were basically drunk and directly lay down to sleep.
Li Zhong was brought back to his residence by his subordinates.
The next day.
When Feng Da and the others woke up, it was almost noon. They had a simple meal and planned to go on their way.
Outside Leng Ruoxue and the others’ residence, one of Li Zhong’s subordinates was ordered to send Leng Ruoxue and the others off.
“Miss, our big boss gave this to you.” The subordinate handed her a ring.
“Where is Big Brother Li?” Leng Ruoxue took the ring and looked at it. She couldn’t help asking in surprise. This ring was actually filled with herbs of the heaven and earth treasure level. This farewell gift was really too precious.
“Leader isn’t awake yet! He instructed me to prepare it before bed yesterday. I hope Miss Leng is satisfied,” the subordinate said.
“I’m very satisfied. Thank you! Help me pa.s.s this to Big Brother Li.” Leng Ruoxue also handed over a ring. She naturally wouldn’t take someone else’s things for nothing, so she secretly instructed Qing Jue to prepare a generous gift.
“Okay, Miss Leng, I’ll send you down the mountain!”
“No need, go take care of Brother Li! We can find the way.”
After Leng Ruoxue finished speaking, she left the bandit’s den with everyone…
