Chapter 208: Farewell Sheng Zi Li!
The next morning…
White Cloud Peak’s main hall…
The old deacons of Tianshu Institute gathered here and looked at the man in the middle of the hall.
Li Ran.
He was here for the first time, but the atmosphere was completely different.
In the beginning, due to his status in the Devil Dao, the elders were on guard in their hearts. They even carried a trace of contempt.
After all, the Righteous and Devils were opposing each other, and they were determined cultivators of the Righteous Path. Even if Li Ran had shown favor to the Tianshu Institute, it would be difficult to dispel the prejudice in their hearts.
However, what happened next completely overturned their views.
For the sake of saving Chief Lin, Li Ran didn’t hesitate to risk his life and enter Death End Grounds. Moreover, for the sake of stabilizing her Dao Heart, his soul had been injured, and he’d temporarily lost his cultivation.
Not to mention the other Righteous path, just how many people from the same sect would do it?
Moreover, Li Ran had displayed terrifying talent and strength.
The three enormous Dharma Idols, the Buddha, Dao, and Devil Dao. There was also the Heart Clearing Curse that sounded like the voice of the Great Dao……
It deeply shocked the hearts of the elders.
Handsome and unrestrained, with peerless talent, and the spirit to sacrifice himself.
This type of elegant youth was simply too much for these old Daoist nuns.
They even thought that it would be good for Li Ran to stay in Tianshu Institute.
“Sheng Zi Li,” A white-haired Daoist nun walked over and said, “I heard that you’re going back to your sect. I’m grateful for your kindness to my sect, so I’ll give you some gifts. Please don’t mind.”
She took out a pure white medicine bottle from her bosom. There was a faint glow on it.
“This is the Unitary Soul Returning Pill I refined with the Worriless Grass. It can stabilize your soul and replenish soul power. Even if your soul is about to collapse, it can help maintain your life force.”
This was a truly good thing.
Just like the Life Spirit Fruit, it could save lives at critical moments.
Li Ran didn’t hold back and reached out to receive it. “Thank you, Great Elder. This junior will accept it.”
“Alright.” The Great Elder’s eyes were filled with a smile as he looked at him with admiration.
Following that, the other elders also walked over.
“Sheng Zi Li, this is the rootless water that I obtained in the Eastern Sea. It can calm your mind and purify your soul…”
“This spirit treasure horsetail whisk can sweep demons away…”
“These three inches of jade can block a single strike of the Dao, and will be given to Sheng Zi Li…”
They took out their treasures one after another, and the divine light in the hall swirled.
Li Ran scratched his head.
These Daoists were truly real.
Because of his previous experiences, his impression of the Righteous Path had always been bad. He felt that they were somewhat hypocritical.
However, this was not the case in Tianshu Institute.
Although these Daoist nuns were stubborn and pedantic, once they received their approval, they would treat them with all their might.
Seeing Li Ran accept the gift, the elders returned with satisfaction.
At this moment, Lin Langyue slowly walked over.
Her white clothes were still not stained with fine dust, but her bright eyes were filled with reluctance.
“Mister, I…” She wanted to say something, but it was as if she was stuck in her throat.
The mist in her eyes gradually spread, and her eyes were slightly red.
Li Ran stroked her head. “Alright, you’re still the number one genius. You have to pay attention to your image.”
Lin Langyue rubbed her eyes and pouted. “As long as you’re here, who would dare to claim first place?”
Seeing the intimate actions of the two, the Elders remained calm.
After all, he was Chief Lin’s savior, so it didn’t seem to be a big deal to be close to him.
A complicated expression flashed across Yi Qinglan’s eyes.
Lin Langyue took out a piece of white jade from her collar.
The jade was transparent and warm, and there was a “clear” engraved on it, emitting a faint fragrance.
“I don’t have anything good either… This is a clear heart jade. Wearing it could calm one’s mind and calm one’s spirit. It would be a gift to Mister.”
Li Ran smiled and said, “If you give this to me, then what should you do when you have some distracting thoughts in the future?”
Lin Langyue looked at him and said seriously, “Mister is my only thought.”
Li Ran was stunned for a moment as his heart skipped a beat.
Who would have thought that someone as cold as her would say such provocative words?
Lin Langyue looked at the white jade in his hand and said softly with a red face, “Although this Clear Heart Jade doesn’t have a high quality, I’ve always been cultivating with my life, nurturing it…”
She had worn this jade since she was young. After so many years of nurturing, it was already a part of her body.
Now that he was playing with it in his hands, he suddenly felt a little shy.
Li Ran nodded. “Alright, I’ll keep it properly.”
“Yes,” Lin Langyue said.
Lin Langyue lowered her head.
Next, the deacons who had come into contact with him also came to deliver gifts.
Although it wasn’t very valuable, he could still tell that it was full of intentions.
“Sheng Zi Li, come and have a seat if you have nothing else.”
“Little Bamboo Peak welcomes you at any time.”
“The room of the Free Cloud Peak has been rebuilt and will always be kept for you.”
“Last time you talked about the West Wing, I just missed you. Can you tell me if you have the chance?”
“Sheng Zi Li, can I hug you…”
The little Daoists surrounded Li Ran in the middle. For a moment, Yingying and Yanyan could not stop.
Although they hadn’t been in contact for long, they couldn’t help but feel reluctant to part with this handsome young man with a brilliant smile.
Yi Qinglan looked at this scene with a cold expression.
For no reason, she felt displeased.
“This group of treacherous disciples. Because of a man, have they forgotten their cultivation?
“There’s also Li Ran who’s such a playboy. He’s really hooked up with then, He’s extremely hateful!”
She cleared her throat and said coldly, “Alright, let’s send you off here. It’s getting late. Don’t delay the return trip.”
“Yes!”
The Sect Master had already spoken, so the deacons obediently retreated.
“Let’s go, Sheng Zi Li.” Yi Qinglan walked off the stage.
“Alright.” Li Ran nodded and followed her out of the hall.
Looking at their backs, Lin Langyue couldn’t help but scratch her head.
“Master seems to be acting strange?”
On the mountain peak, Yi Qinglan calmly looked at Li Ran.
“Thank you for helping me, Sheng Zi Li. I’ll send you back now.”
Li Ran smiled and said, “I’ve helped Daoist Yi so much, yet you still aren’t going to give me some gifts?”
Yi Qinglan shook her head, “You’ve absorbed more than eighty percent of the soul power from the Death End Grounds. That’s enough to offset the favor between us.”
That vast amount of soulforce not only allowed him to increase his cultivation greatly, but his future cultivation would also be smooth.
It would take at least hundreds of years for the heart demons to recover.
This was indeed a generous gift, although she didn’t take the initiative to give it to him.
Li Ran sighed. “Indeed, Daoist Yi is still so cold.”
“Cold?” Yi Qinglan quietly clenched her hands behind her back.
