The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 456 A Wasteful Look (2 Updates)
Yunran reached into her bag and took out a small bottle, from which she poured out a brown pill with a faint fragrance.

With a very rough movement, he grabbed the lynx by the neck, easily pried open its mouth, and stuffed the meatball into it.

Xuan Chu frowned slightly as he watched Yun Ran's simple and crude actions.

I can't help but say that this is a mountain spirit, after all; it deserves some respect.

But after smelling the aroma of the brown pills, he immediately swallowed his words.

He was afraid that if he told Yunran, she would stop feeding him.

This meatball clearly carries a trace of blood energy, and it's a rather domineering kind of blood energy.

Thinking back to the coiled dragon formation he had seen during the Xuanmen Grand Competition, Xuan Chu roughly guessed that the brown pill likely contained the blood of that dragon spirit.

Given the mountain spirit's current weakened state, even he doesn't have a good way to save it.

But with the blood of the Dragon Spirit, things are different.

When Baji saw Yunran give the Origin Pill to the Mountain Spirit, he almost instinctively took action.

However, seeing that the envoy did not move, he forcibly restrained himself.

After a few breaths, Baji suddenly turned his neck and stared at Yunran with a surprised look in his eyes.

Just now, he sensed a familiar aura, which was clearly the aura of the mountain spirit that had disappeared for nearly fifty years.

"you you……"

Seeing that Baji hadn't said anything after a few tries, Yunran didn't care. Her purpose in coming here was to deal with the sealing.

Saving this mountain spirit that was about to die was just a side effect.

As Ginseng Fruit held the lynx, it could clearly sense that the body, which had been a little cold just moments before, was now showing signs of warming up.

Knowing that the pills made with dragon spirit blood were effective, Ginseng Fruit quickly said, "Master, could you feed me a few more?"

Hearing this, some others felt that this was childish and a complete waste of resources.

Xuan Chu's gaze fell on Yun Ran. He was actually a little curious whether Yun Ran would give this little disciple a big challenge.

Yun Ran threw the bottle in her hand directly into the ginseng fruit's hand: "You're the one taking care of this lynx, so feed it yourself!"

As she spoke, Yunran looked at the fur that had gotten on her hands from grabbing the lynx's neck with some disgust.

Everyone:...

No, you just give away such precious pills like that?

No wonder this little apprentice looks like a spendthrift; it turns out his master is no less so.

Ginseng Fruit happily took the bottle and nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Master, I will take good care of it."

In the center of the ancestral hall, there is a stone statue of moderate size. It also has the aura of a mountain spirit. Without guessing, one can imagine that this is probably a substitute for the original source of the mountain spirit.

Baji didn't really like Yunran, but things are different now. Yunran is willing to give him such precious pills.

Now, Yunran's status in Baji's heart has risen sharply, and she is about to stand on equal footing with Xuan Chu, the envoy of Tiandao Village.

Seeing Yunran's gaze fall on the stone statue, Baji immediately began to enthusiastically introduce it: "This was left by my ancestor, and it's also what the mountain guardian needs when forming a pact with the mountain spirit." As he spoke, Baji directly cut his palm, which looked like a withered tree, and dripped blood onto the stone statue.

In an instant, the stone statue lit up.

"When the stone statue lights up, it means that it has gained the approval of the mountain spirit and has successfully formed a pact with the mountain spirit. A mark of the pact will also appear on its body."

Unfortunately, the tradition of guarding the mountain ends with my generation; no one in the village has been able to successfully form a pact with the mountain spirit anymore…

For some reason, Yun Ran suddenly remembered what Elder Gong had sent back through the paper doll: the technique for the mountain guardians to form a pact had been lost.

But now that Yunran sees this stone statue, she probably understands that it's not that the mountain guardian's spell for forming a bond has been lost, but rather that the mountain spirits are unable to maintain the stone statue specifically used for forming bonds.

The sky was already bright when Yunran looked up unintentionally and saw that familiar cloud not far above her head, like a moving surveillance camera, watching her all the time.

Yunran was still thinking about whether there was any way to make the cloud confront the evil god here.

Then she heard Xuan Chu's voice behind her: "I advise you not to mess with that cloud. It's just watching you and confirming your coordinates."

Xuan Chu didn't say the rest, but Yun Ran understood what he meant.

It's basically saying that once she has a clear understanding of what she wants to do, she won't lose her way when lightning strikes her.

Clearly, Yunran had used various methods to deflect the lightning bolts' target on several previous occasions, which had truly angered the lightning.

So, they gave Yunran special treatment and marked her.

Yunran's tone suddenly became somewhat resentful: "Don't you think this heavenly thunder is a bit unreasonable? I haven't done anything wrong, so why is it always targeting me?"

As a member of Tiandao Village, Xuan Chu naturally understood why Tiandao had been keeping an eye on Yun Ran.

"Your destiny is unusual; this is an indisputable fact. The will of Heaven is only responsible for maintaining the balance of this world, not for acting as judge."

If someone detects that you are a threat, they will naturally give you some warnings. As for whether your threat is inherent or imposed by others, that is not important.

It's like the police arresting people. If you're a suspect, you'll naturally be a key target. Once you make a move, they'll take action.

The explanation made sense, but Yunran still felt a sense of frustration that she couldn't quite put into words.

Taking a deep breath, Yun Ran suddenly attacked Xuan Chu with lightning speed, each move deadly.

Baji: ...

Perhaps it's because he's getting old and can't understand young people these days anymore, even though the two of them were just getting along peacefully a moment ago.

How could you turn on me so suddenly?
However, he had no intention of getting involved at the moment, and silently took several steps back, leaving the space to the two of them.

Seeing the envoy retreating and dodging, Baji wasn't too worried.

Xuan Chu, cornered by Yun Ran, finally lost his temper: "Don't go too far, I'm really going to fight back!"

He was met with an even fiercer attack from Yun Ran, and Xuan Chu had no choice but to intervene.

Just as Xuan Chu was about to make his move, Yun Ran suddenly stopped and then let out a cold snort.

"Oh, so you know that if you haven't done anything but are attacked for no reason, you'll get angry and fight back!"
They don't seem to feel the pain until it happens to them personally.

Xuan Chu: ...
