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

Chapter 496 Treating People Differently! (2nd Update)
Xie Xuzhi's body now contains the dragon essence of the fire dragon and the power of the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, all of which are related to Yun Ran.

Perhaps because of this, Yunran's magical artifact mistakenly regarded him as one of its own.

Thinking about this, Xie Xuzhi suddenly understood why Yun Ran was so angry. If he were in that situation, he would be angry too!
He had been feeling uncomfortable when he saw Gu Yuan jumping around like that.

They're still his subordinates, yet he keeps fawning over them and forgets about his own boss. What kind of behavior is that!
Xie Xuzhi quickly found a reason for his previous discomfort and calmed down.

Then he looked at Yun Ran and said, "By the way, I received news that the deathly and evil energy in this entire mountain range is dissipating at an alarming rate. It seems we will be able to go back soon."

Yun Ran nodded, naturally not telling Xie Xuzhi that the mountain spirit had recovered, and the evil energy that had been running rampant before would naturally not escape.

"If there's nothing else, I'll rest for a while."

Yunran walked directly to the fire and began to rest with her eyes closed.

As for the clanging sounds made by Gu Yuan and the others, Yun Ran completely blocked them out.

Half of the paper figures remained at the bottom of the pit awaiting Yunran's instructions, while the other half continued collecting the fossilized tree roots and stones from before.

When Yunran opened her eyes again, the original altar had been smashed to pieces by Gu Yuan, and there was no trace of its original state.

Long Ling flew to Yun Ran's ear, her voice brimming with excitement: "Guess what treasure they found after they smashed the altar?"

Upon hearing the word "treasure," Yun Ran's eyes immediately widened: "Treasure?"

She quickly turned her head and looked over. Sure enough, she saw the several seriously injured old men who were now gathered together, completely disregarding their own injuries.

When Yunran saw the four magic seals made of the same material as the Soul-Locking Chain, her mouth watered.

These four seals are definitely at the level of magic treasures.

"I never imagined that in my lifetime I would be able to see such a Dharma seal at the same time. I can die without regrets."

"Thanks to Director Gu! If Director Gu hadn't smashed the altar here, we would never have dreamed that there would be a magic seal here."

"Well, if these seals were to appear in the world, they would probably shock the entire Xuanmen sect."

"If you ask me, we should put this magic seal in the Special Administration Bureau's treasury. If those evil cultivators find out, it will be disastrous."

……

As Yunran approached, she overheard the old men reminiscing and discussing the fate of the magic seals.

But perhaps because they've been buried for too long, these magical seals, which are clearly of the level of magic treasures, are not very powerful now.

When she was in the Ghost Realm, she saw the Soul-Locking Chains from afar and felt as if her soul was being imprisoned.

At this moment, the pressure exerted on her by the magic seal made of the same material was less than one-tenth that of the Soul-Locking Chain.

When the group saw Yun Ran, they would have thought that Yun Ran, such a young girl, was rather immature and had no right to stand with them, her seniors, before she released the heavenly lightning.

Now, not only do they have no objections, but they have also voluntarily given up a position for Yun Ran, clearly treating Yun Ran as one of their own.

"Young friend Yun is awake. I wonder if you have any thoughts on these four Dharma Seals?"

Previously she was addressed as Miss Yun, but now she's called Young Friend Yun. Yun Ran didn't react much, but Long Ling, who came along, rolled her eyes.

If anyone ever tells him that these old guys in the Xuanmen sect are strict about rules, he'll be the first to slap that person across the face.

Bah! What talk of respecting rules? It's more like treating people differently based on their status!
The four seals, each carved with a strange mythical beast, were similar to the murals she had seen on the stone walls of this large pit. "No wonder the mountain spirit couldn't retrieve its stolen essence even right under its nose; it was trapped by these four seals."

Everyone present already knew that the mountain spirit here had its origin stolen by the monster black bear, and they had been curious about it before.

But he didn't think much of it. Now, when he heard Yun Ran say that it was these few magic seals that caused the trouble, he suddenly felt enlightened.

"It's so true!"

"I see."

Several people exclaimed in unison, and then their faces showed complicated expressions.

Therefore, Xuan Kong from Tiandao Village did more than just save their lives.

Even the very essence of the mountain spirit could be trapped. If it weren't for Xuan Kong, they would have had no chance of survival if they had fallen here with serious injuries.

"The people of Tiandao Village are indeed unfathomable!"

"I never expected that the master and apprentice would be such low-key people. It was really wrong of us to compete with them before."

"And yet, they didn't take any credit; they resolved the trouble here and then left..."

Yunran is now somewhat curious about what Gu Yuan meant by the light on Xuan Kong's body, which seems to be more powerful than her heavenly lightning.

Just as I was thinking of this, the old men were still being 'modest'.

"Of course, young friend Yun also deserves credit. If it weren't for young friend Yun's heavenly lightning, we wouldn't have been able to dig out these magic seals so easily."

……

Yun Ran was already immune to these kinds of praises and compliments, and she remained calm at this moment.

Gu Yuan, who was standing next to him, was grinning like an idiot, as if he were the one being praised.

"Of course! Our Ranran is no ordinary person. These evil spirits are like a nemesis to us when they encounter Ranran."

Xie Xuzhi glanced at Gu Yuan, and that uneasy feeling welled up in her heart again.

Hmm, I'll send Gu Yuan to patrol other places later, so he won't be running around like that, it's annoying to look at him!

Having made the decision, Gu Yuan seemed much more agreeable now.

Xie Xuzhi looked at Yun Ran and found that her face showed only curiosity towards the four magic seals, with no intention of possessing them at all.

This puzzled Xie Xuzhi, as Yun Ran was quite different from the Yun Ran he remembered.

"The Special Administration Bureau's treasure trove only needs one piece; you can discuss how to divide the remaining three."

Upon hearing this, the other elders were overjoyed, for this magic seal was far more valuable than the corpse of the black bear monster.

After discussing it for a while, the group reluctantly made a decision: Yun Ran would get one, and the rest of them would share the remaining two.

Yun Ran was slightly surprised, clearly not expecting to be included, which made her quite embarrassed.

The little paper figures have taken so many treasures...
