"Bro, maybe we should choose a Divine Weapon?"

Qiao Yuansi looked disgusted as she continuously scrolled the mouse wheel, eyeing three Magic Artifacts.

Lu Ran said, "Aren't Magic Artifacts more precious?"

Qiao Yuansi replied, "But these few Magic Artifacts, their effects aren't that great!"

With that, Qiao Yuansi grabbed Lu Ran's hand and rolled up his sleeve, "Take another look at your Rebirth Money.

It's just a fragment of a Magic Artifact, yet it's so powerful!

It can absorb and refine Dead Souls, even create flesh for them and control them in battle.

That's what I call a real Magic Artifact!"

Lu Ran, looking at the fragment of the Magic Artifact, Rebirth Money, on his wrist, nodded in agreement.

What did they say about "when you compare goods, you'll want to toss the inferior ones"?

Suddenly, Qiao Yuansi asked, "By the way, bro, have you ever created flesh for the Dead Souls inside the Copper Coin?"

Lu Ran was taken aback and then shook his head, "No."

"No?" Qiao Yuansi exclaimed, completely puzzled.

If she had such a Magic Artifact, she would've compelled all sorts of Evil Demon Dead Souls and then shaped flesh for them one by one, playing with them to her heart's content.

Lu Ran silently admitted his guilt.

Indeed, he hadn't used the Copper Coin to create flesh for Evil Demons.

What he had used was the God Demon Sculpture Garden to directly make Servants!

Lu Ran nodded, "After all, Rebirth Money is a fragment, and the flesh it creates for Dead Souls only lasts a short time.

The key is that shaping flesh consumes the Copper Coin's intrinsic energy, which is a loss not worth the cost."

"I see," Qiao Yuansi said with regret, her fingertips gently brushing over the Ancient Copper Coin, "Anyway, this is what I envision a Magic Artifact should be like."

Lu Ran patted his sister's little head with a smile, "Your starting point is too high."

When young,

it's not always good to encounter people or things that are too fantastic.

Otherwise, it's easy to get trapped by them for a lifetime.

"Pfft," Qiao Yuansi puffed her lips.

Is my starting point really too high?

That Wind Barrier Treasure Pearl, isn't it just the North Wind Divine Skill·Shattering Wind Armor?

That Dragon Whisker Treasure Staff, isn't it just the Biwu Divine Skill·Biwu Tree?

And that Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd, isn't that just a Divine Power Pearl?

I already have them, hanging several around my neck...

"This gourd looks pretty nice," Lu Ran turned his attention back to the screen.

Qiao Yuansi paused, "Do you want a Divine Power Pearl?"

Lu Ran: "..."

What kind of question is that!

Qiao Yuansi looked at the Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd; setting aside its effectiveness, just its appearance alone was indeed striking!

The gourd seemed made of red jade, appearing smooth and exquisite.

With golden Phoenix Patterns adorning it, coiling and soaring.

Red jade with golden patterns,

truly exceptionally crafted!

Lu Ran said, "You know, whether it's Divine Weapons or Magic Artifacts, their growth is endless."

Qiao Yuansi blinked.

Lu Ran continued, "For instance, my Dawn Blade, which has activated the Divine Weapon Domain·Blessed Cloud, does that mean all is well?"

Of course not!

Activating the first Domain means being on the right path!

Lu Ran and the Dawn Blade need to cultivate deeply on this path and study endlessly.

Qiao Yuansi, resting her elbow on the table with her little hand supporting her cheek, carefully read the introduction of the Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd.

Lu Ran went on, "What do you think, if I could cultivate the gourd to advance.

Turning 'Absorb Evil Corpse Bones' into 'Absorb Demons,' wouldn't that be different?"

This effect, this prestige!

Won't it climb up with just a push?

Qiao Yuansi's expression twisted as she looked at Lu Ran.

She wanted to say that her brother was daydreaming.

But seeing Lu Ran's expectant look, Qiao Yuansi held back and did not want to dampen the mood.

Divine Weapons and Magic Artifacts share similarities in some ways.

How difficult it is to cultivate a Divine Weapon!

Activating its Domain is even harder!

And to evolve from the first effect, to continue developing and advancing, is nothing short of a fantasy.

Who can ensure that the path of a Divine Weapon is as you imagine?

Being passionate about it is not scary.

What's scary is presuming too much, and taking the wrong path.

What's scary is being too obsessed, striving in vain, and creating demons in your own mind.

However...

A thought struck Qiao Yuansi.

Her brother was no ordinary person!

The Dawn Blade was the best example, a weapon he personally cultivated.

And in front of countless people, it had activated its Divine Weapon Domain.

Doing what others cannot!

"What do you say?" Lu Ran looked down at his sister, winking.

Qiao Yuansi nodded, for once without any sarcasm, "If it gets rid of the word 'corpse bones,' then in my eyes, it truly deserves to be called a Magic Artifact."

Whether it's the River Realm or Demon Lords and Evil Lords.

Let's see if I can absorb you—that's it ~

Another point made Qiao Yuansi hold back her usual retorts.

Because the Lantern Sect's big move in the River Realm was to seal Evil Demons in lanterns and refine them with the lantern's flame.

The little girl is clever ~

If she criticized the gourd, it would be akin to cursing her own clan's ultimate move...

Lu Ran looked at the Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd, the more he saw it, the more he anticipated, "To take a step back, even if your brother is fantasizing and doesn't succeed in a lifetime."

Lu Ran paused, his gaze burning brighter, "At least it's still a Magic Artifact that can aid in cultivating!

It can draw energy from the heavens and the earth on its own.

After I fight a few rounds on the battlefield, I take out the gourd, tilt my head back, and gulp down Divine Power..."

How wonderful would that be?

What's more carefree than drinking on the battlefield?

Do you really think I'm pulling out a drinking gourd?

No,

what I'm pulling out is a plastic bag...

"That makes sense," Qiao Yuansi nodded.

Among the three Magic Artifacts, this was the only one that could assist in cultivation and sustain battles.

Choosing "battle endurance" under any circumstance is always right.

Qiao Yuansi thought so, while Lu Ran contemplated further.

If the effect of the Blazing Phoenix Pattern Gourd could be advanced to Absorb Demons, would this gourd be considered an unusual spatial Magic Artifact?

Could his Servant squad be taken into it at any time?

Just the thought was delightful...

As for "refining" and other aspects, Lu Ran wasn't worried.

Whether to refine the Evil Demons inside the gourd was, of course, up to the Artifact Spirit.

As long as he communicated well with the Artifact Spirit beforehand, the Servant squad would not only be unharmed, but they could also enjoy the nourishment of the rich energy environment!

Ready to enter the fray at any time,

always in peak condition!

Of course, when there are Evil Demon Servants in the gourd, one should be cautious when drinking.

Be careful not to accidentally gulp down Yan Zhi.

Hmm, I can't reward her for nothing...

"Have you made up your mind about it, brother?"

"It's decided!" Lu Ran said with emphasis.

Meanwhile, the phone buzzed again.

While the siblings were chatting, Lu Ran's phone had been vibrating constantly.

Apparently, it was congratulatory messages from relatives and friends.

But this time, the continuous vibration was likely a call.

"Buzz~buzz~~~"

Lu Ran glanced at it and saw it was a call from the "Heavenly Pride" show crew.

He made a silencing gesture to Little Yuanxi before picking up, "Zhang brother?"

Zhang Quan, one of the leads of the "Heavenly Pride" show crew.

The last two times, Lu Ran's participation in offline activities was orchestrated by this man.

"Congratulations, congratulations, Lu Tianjiao, for topping the Heavenly List!" On the other end of the phone came Zhang Quan's hearty laughter.

"Thank you," Lu Ran responded with a smile.

The call lasted a full ten minutes before Lu Ran hung up with a frown.

This was the last month before Lu Ran challenged the Divine Ruins.

He had planned to cultivate the Tangled Silk Shadow and Barbaric Woman Evil Sculpture to the River Realm stage.

However, a call from "Heavenly Pride" had disrupted all of Lu Ran's plans.

All about activity arrangements!

Interviews, award ceremonies, public speaking, celebration feasts, book voice-over...

It was hard to imagine!

A Heavenly Pride who fought with real swords on the battlefield, was actually going to do voice-overs for bedtime stories?

Well... it does fit with the national mood.

At the very least, when Lu Ran was still an ordinary person living in trepidation, he would put in earphones and listen to various shows to fall asleep.

It's evident that Da Xia wants to fully utilize the energy of this batch of Heavenly Prides.

Being the top-ranked person, Lu Ran could certainly not be absent.

"Hee hee~," Qiao Yuansi giggled, "Brother is going to be a star again?"

Lu Ran imitated his sister's manner, smacking his lips.

Being a star was secondary.

The main thing was that during these activities, officials would inevitably come for discussions.

In this special era, Lu Ran wielded terrifying influence and was the spiritual support of millions.

Da Xia naturally hoped Lu Ran would shine.

For this, Lu Ran was more than willing!

He too had been one of the weak and knew how painful and oppressive it was to survive in this dark world.

But with the three months almost up, he was about to risk his life in the Divine Ruins!

It seems he'll have to use Lord Immortal Goat as a shield.

Instead of soothing people's emotions and encouraging them to survive, Lu Ran was more inclined towards another path.

Fundamentally, Lu Ran was a warrior.

He yearned to slay all the world's Evil Demons and eliminate mankind's calamities!

This was the way to solve problems at their root.

Eliminate the source of trouble!

"Bro, bro?"

"Huh?"

"What are you daydreaming about?"

"Sorry, Yuanxi," Lu Ran apologized, "I'm booked with 'Heavenly Pride' events until Chinese New Year's Eve, and the city unlocks tomorrow, I have to report."

Qiao Yuansi puffed up like a little blowfish again.

Her mouth pursed, cheeks bulging.

Lu Ran's voice softened, "Will you go to Yeyu City first? Once I'm done with everything, I'll come to Luoxian Mountain to find you."

Suddenly, Qiao Yuansi said, "I'll accompany you, and be your little assistant!"

Lu Ran: "Huh?"

Qiao Yuansi justified herself, "I have to watch over you for Sister Ruyi!

You don't know how attractive you are, there are tigers outside, all eyeing you!"

Lu Ran: "Stop messing around."

Qiao Yuansi, with tear-filled eyes: "I don't care! We have so little time together, now you're pushed until year's end."

Lu Ran contemplated briefly, then nodded, "Alright, then we'll go together."

Qiao Yuansi opened her mouth to retort, "You just... eh? You agreed?"

Lu Ran's finger gently wiped under Little Yuanxi's eyes, laughing, "You should be the actor!

Crying on cue, with no casting time at all."

Qiao Yuansi, initially overjoyed, now glared at Lu Ran, grinding her teeth in irritation.

Lu Ran, as if not seeing, picked up the phone to look at the official schedule of activities.

Before leaving, he would do everything he could to help people.

As for the Barbaric Woman and Tangled Silk Shadow sculptures...

Shameless eating is the way to go.

It was time to visit Forget Spring Believers·Li Rouyin.

Wondering how the leeks were doing...
