Chapter 16: Another Opportunity!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Elder Luo, do you have any instructions?”
Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, Shen Ran stopped in his tracks and smiled.
“I’m ashamed to say that I met with an accident during my cultivation. Now, I’m pressed down by a huge boulder and can’t escape. I hope you can help move this huge boulder away. I’m forever grateful!”
The tormented Luo Qifeng couldn’t care less about his status as an elder at this moment.
He made a request to Shen Ran, who was dressed as a servant disciple.
“Yes sir!”
That’s what I was waiting for!
Shen Ran’s eyes lit up. Without a word, he lifted the huge boulder off Luo Qifeng and put it aside.
The boulder that had been pressing on him for five days was moved away. For a moment, Luo Qifeng was almost moved to tears.
Shen Ran had only moved the boulder out of convenience.
But for Luo Qifeng, it was a lifesaver.
“You’re very good!” Luo Qifeng took out a token and handed it to Shen Ran. “This is a token that represents my identity. From now on, you’re no longer a servant disciple but an official disciple of my Eighth Summit. In the future, if you have any cultivation problems, feel free to look for me!”
“My thanks to Elder Luo!”
......
Shen Ran was overjoyed as he took the token.
He had finally discarded his servant disciple identity and become an ordinary disciple!
In the future, he would no longer need to waste time dealing with chores every day. Furthermore, he would have the right to go down the mountain at any time.
He helped Luo Qifeng back to the Eighth Summit.
Shen Ran did not immediately go to the disciple registration office to register his identity as an official disciple.
He still had opportunities yet to obtain.
After fetching water, he returned to Li Tian’s residence. He was still snoring in the house.
Shen Ran did not wake him up.
He carefully irrigated the spiritual herbs in the spiritual field.
After completing the mission entrusted to him by Li Tian, Shen Ran looked at the spiritual field filled with lush spiritual herbs and rubbed his hands excitedly. Senior Brother Li, you are the one who said that I could casually take two spiritual herbs from the field after completing the mission. I don’t need the spiritual herbs. I’ll accept the 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow buried underground.
With that, Shen Ran began to dig for the Wood Spirit Marrow.
When he first came into contact with Li Tian’s spiritual field, he could feel there was an extremely rich spiritual energy churning in the soil.
In addition, there were traces of cool refreshing odor floating out of the soil.
It was probably the aura emitted by the Wood Spirit Marrow underground.
As Shen Ran dug deeper, the refreshing odor of the 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow became stronger.
When he reached a hundred feet underground, the soil here was already dyed green.
As it glowed green, a refreshing fragrance wafted from the soil to his nose.
Just by smelling this fragrance, Shen Ran immediately felt lively and alert.
Even the spiritual energy in his body circulated faster.
That made him speed up the excavation.
When Shen Ran dug a thousand feet underground, he finally found the object which was the main purpose of his trip.
10,000-Year Wood Spirit Marrow!
The 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow in the shape of a baby was crystal clear and suffused with a gentle green light.
Just looking at it made him feel calm, and the restlessness in his heart disappeared.
Stars of green starlight were peeling off from the 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow and fusing into the surrounding soil.
Providing the land that buries it with power beyond measure.
Shen Ran estimated that Li Tian’s spiritual field had been flooded by the power of the 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow for so long.
Even if he took it away now, the magical power of the spiritual field could last for a hundred years.
Just as Shen Ran was about to keep it, something unexpected happened!
His outstretched hand had just touched the 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow.
The baby-like 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow suddenly opened its eyes and glared at Shen Ran angrily.
It seemed to be blaming Shen Ran for disturbing its slumber.
After ten thousand years of growth, this thing actually had intelligence!
A bone-chilling coldness instantly spread throughout Shen Ran’s body, making him unable to move for a moment.
The 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow also took this opportunity to shake the short limbs on its small torso and try to escape.
Faced with such a huge opportunity, Shen Ran would not sit back and do nothing.
Let me suppress it!
In an instant, 10,000 golden rays flickered in his eyes. Endless chains condensed out of thin air and instantly bound the 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow that was about to escape.
At the same time, the majestic aura of the Supreme Bone and the primordial aura of the Pangu Sacred Body erupted.
It enveloped the 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow that was still struggling.
Sensing the supreme aura of the three great talents targeting him, the 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow revealed an aggrieved expression.
Only then did he give up struggling and transform into a green light that fused into Shen Ran’s body.
“What are you doing? What are you doing! You can cause such a huge commotion just by watering me! Don’t ruin my spiritual field, or I won’t let you off!”
Inside the house, Li Tian, who was sleeping, felt a trace of Shen Ran’s aura and suddenly woke up.
Full of anger, he pushed open the door and hurried out.
This magical spirit field was his most beloved. No one was allowed to touch it!
“Senior Brother Li, you’re awake. I’ve watered your spiritual field. I won’t pluck the spiritual herbs. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”
Shen Ran, who had just restored the spiritual field to its original state, turned around and smiled at Li Tian.
Was that just my imagination?
Li Tian scratched his head suspiciously.
He looked at the safe and sound spiritual field and then at Shen Ran’s bright smile.
He immediately felt that something was wrong. His heart felt empty, as if he had lost something very important.
However, looking at the dense spiritual herbs in his spiritual field, he did not know what to say.
He felt irritated.
Is it because I haven’t had enough sleep?
In the end, Li Tian gave up and waved his hand. He turned back into the house and said to Shen Ran, “It’s been hard on you.”
“Yes, I won’t disturb Senior Brother’s rest.”
Shen Ran looked inside his body.
He glanced at the 10,000-year Wood Spirit Marrow floating in his divine sea.
Perfectly content, he left Li Tian’s residence.
Back at the servant disciple area.
Old Xu was snoring soundly. Even when Shen Ran came to his side, he was not in the least awake.
[This is a person who was born ordinary. If there are no accidents, he will spend an ordinary and fulfilling life in the Empyrean Sword Sect.]
“Looks like you like your current life very much, Old Xu. I won’t disturb you anymore. If you need any help in the future, feel free to look for me.”
After reading Old Xu’s narrative, Shen Ran left a farewell letter for him.
At the same time, he placed dozens of spirit stones he had accumulated, on top of the letter.
Finally, after taking a look at the bed that Old Xu had repaired for him, Shen Ran gently closed the door.
He left the servant disciple area.
Shen Ran brought the token that Luo Qifeng had given him to the Eighth Summit’s disciple registration office.
He looked at his name, which was recorded on the list of official disciples of the Eighth Summit, and collected the green robe and token that represented his identity as an ordinary disciple.
Shen Ran was surprisingly calm about becoming an ordinary disciple again.
His pursuit was no longer constrained to this.
With the status of an ordinary disciple, he could leave the mountain at will.
Shen Ran hastened on through the night and finally arrived at Qingshan Town, thousands of miles away.
Over here, there was one last opportunity waiting for him.
