Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 155 Giving His Girlfriend Special Treatment, the Flame Witch Appears!

Fire-attribute elemental crystals can be used to refine speed-control magic artifacts suitable for high-level mages, and are also of great benefit to fire-type mages.

This one is worth at least hundreds of millions!

In other words, Mu Nujiao's gains from this trip are already equivalent to a piece of the Star River Pulse!

What does a Star River Vein represent? It's an opportunity for a mid-level mage to transform and advance to a higher level!
Although the Mu family would provide her with a Star River Vein to help her break through when she reached the peak of the intermediate level, what the family gave her and what she obtained through her own training in the wild were two different things!

Resources received from one's family are like an advance loan that must be repaid in the future!
This is both the advantage and the disadvantage of being part of a family.

Members of a family are usually not in control of their own lives and are bound by the family's rules.

Sometimes, Mu Nujiao envied Lu Ran and admired him greatly!
They admired Lu Ran for not being bound by the rules and regulations of his family and for his unrestrained behavior. They also admired Lu Ran for being able to cultivate magic to such a high level without the support of his family, leaving his peers a whole major realm ahead of them.
People's joys and sorrows are not the same. Mu Ningxue sighed as she looked at the excited Mu Nujiao.

She was very unlucky, or perhaps because she cultivated ice-type magic and was not sensitive to fire-type resources, she only found a few small to medium-sized fire-type spirit seed fragments in the past two hours.

In total, it's less than ten million.
Lu Ran took in everyone's gains and, with his mental abilities, he understood Ning Xue and the others' little schemes, which made him smile bitterly.

Tsk, at least it was something I brought myself. If I only took back ten million, it would be embarrassing for me!
Let's give them some special treatment!

They're all my women, I can't favor one over the other.

Thinking this, Lu Ran picked up Lingling and placed her in front of the two women. He also took out several instruments specifically designed to detect fire-attribute natural treasures, two of which could even directly locate fire spirit seed fragments.

Besides Yan Ji and her daughter, the biggest gain from the trip to Zhuoyuan was the abundance of fire-attribute natural treasures in the northern corner of Zhuoyuan.

Lu Ran had already made preparations for this.

The two women, holding Lu Ran's instruments, were very excited. Guided by Lingling, they ran towards a spot where a fire-type spirit seed might exist.

Everyone else looked on with envy, but no one dared to ask for it, since Mu Nujiao and Mu Ningxue were both Lu Ran's lovers.

Seeing the two women leave, Lu Ran's eyes flashed, and his gaze fell on Zhao Chenying.

"Judging by the time, it's about time I made a trip to the Star Language Tree."

Afterwards, Lu Ran gave Nan Jue a few instructions, and did not recall the two commander-level four-clawed demonic eagles.

As long as Nan Jue, Mo Fan, and the others don't court death and don't seek out the commander-level demons in the northern corner of Zhuoyuan, with the four-clawed demonic eagle protecting them, they will never be in mortal danger.

After explaining everything, Lu Ran took Zhao Chenying and left first, while the others continued to explore and plunder the surrounding area.

Zhao Manyan's eyes lit up:
"Mo Fan, do you think Lu Ran has a thing for my cousin? A lone man and woman in the wilderness... hehe."

Mo Fan's lips twitched: "Your cousin is indeed pretty, but compared to Mu Nujiao and Mu Ningxue, she's not even in the same league!"

"Based on my understanding of Lu Ran, even if he were to look for someone, it would be a woman like Nan Jue, someone with more intellectual beauty. That would give him a sense of conquest!"

Zhao Manyan curled his lip:
"I was just saying it casually. If Chenying can get together with Lu Ran, then my uncle's family will also rise to prominence."

Mo Fan was speechless, thinking to himself:

"Do all you scions of aristocratic families think of gaining power through marriage alliances?"

Meanwhile, at the foot of Fire Pillar Mountain, Zhao Chenying hesitated for a long time before continuing to ask, "Lu... Lu Ran, where are you taking me?"

When Lu Ran took her away, Zhao Chenying asked him a question.

Lu Ran's answer at that time was very simple:
You'll find out when you get there.

Lu Ran became the riddle solver, and although Zhao Chenying was dissatisfied, she dared not refute him.

After all, the person in front of us has extraordinary cultivation and is also a member of parliament!
But as time went by, as the two sped along on the Commander-level Four-Clawed Demon Eagle Undead, Zhao Chenying instinctively became afraid, hence the question.

Knowing that Zhao Chenying would soon find out the truth, Lu Ran decided to stop pretending and lay his cards on the table!
However, matters concerning Jiang Feng and the ghost woman were too complex to explain in just a few words, so Lu Ran simply focused on the key points:
"You came to the North Corner of the Scorching Plains to save your mother with the Fire Calamity Fruit, right?"

"Then I'll tell you now, the mother in your house who's always wrapped in white cloth is a fake!"

"And now, I'm going to take you to find your real mother!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chenying's eyes widened in disbelief:
"What did you say? Lu Ran, are you kidding me?"

Lu Ran remained expressionless. Was he joking?

What is your identity? What is my identity?
Do I, a member of parliament, need to joke with you?

However, considering that this would be difficult for anyone to accept, Lu Ran continued:

"You will soon know the truth and the facts."

Above Fire Pillar Mountain lies the Fire Cloud Forest, the only way to reach the Star Language Tree.

Ordinary people need to climb mountains to reach the Fire Cloud Forest, but Nan Jue and his companions use a contracted monster called a Mountain Climbing Beast.

But Lu Ran, for example, directly stepped on a commander-level four-clawed demonic eagle and soared upwards!

Passing through the crimson forest, Lu Ran's target was the tallest and most imposing Star Language Tree!
During this time, countless firebirds tried to intercept Lu Ran.

But the moment the aura of the commander-level undead was released, a large number of demons and monsters retreated in fear!
Soon, a colossal tree that blotted out the sky appeared in Lu Ran's line of sight!

The Starry Sky Tree has no leaves, and its branches are twisted and winding, yet it still gives people a sense of graceful elegance despite its numerous branches.

Just looking at it from afar gives one a sense of awe.

When Zhao Chenying saw the legendary Star Language Tree, her depressed mood instantly turned to excitement!
She hadn't forgotten her purpose in coming to the North Corner of Zhuoyuan: to obtain the Fire Calamity Fruit and save her mother!
Lu Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, his mental energy spread out, and his gaze quickly locked onto the Star Language Tree.

It was at the top of a tree, where a bright red, translucent fruit hung high!

Its luster and alluring aroma indicate that it is a rare and precious natural treasure that is many levels above the Fire Cloud Fruit!
Lu Ran knew that this was the Fire Tribulation Fruit that had given birth to Yan Ji!
However, it is not yet mature.

Not long after Lu Ran spread his mental energy, the powerful mental energy instantly alerted the guardians of the Star Language Tree.

A being enveloped in flames, exuding a powerful aura, walked step by step toward Lu Ran, her feet treading through the void.
