"What?"

Xu Ran was shocked and looked in disbelief.

"Where do you start talking about this? Could it be..." He thought for a while, and then his pupils shrank, his face looked frightened, and he looked at the tool man's clone uncertainly, hoping that it was not what he thought.

The tool man's clone nodded solemnly and said with lingering fear: "Just as you thought, the old guard is not targeting Xiao Qi, but you!"

Xu Ran's face suddenly turned pale when he heard this, and his tense body suddenly softened, and he murmured feebly: "What...what's going on?"

He was a little confused, when did it start? Was he already targeted a long time ago? Or was he only noticed by the other party when they met?

If it's the latter, that's okay, but if it's the latter, it means the current situation is not good!

"But it's a good thing that Xiaoqi hasn't been targeted..." He could only think like this now, and then he raised his head slightly, looked at the tool man's clone, and motioned for them to continue.

The tool man clones looked at each other in confusion as if they didn't know where to start. Finally, the black-robed clone stepped forward and explained:

"What the old guard handed to Xiao Qi was an unknown jade pendant. The function of this jade pendant is to purify and accelerate the extraction of spiritual power. It can make the monks practice faster before the Nascent Soul stage without any major side effects.

Even when a monk breaks through from the Nascent Soul stage to the Divine Transformation stage, it can help quickly gather spiritual energy, which is somewhat helpful for a smooth breakthrough.

But these are just superficial phenomena. Its true appearance is actually a mark of the soul that has left its imprint on the laws of the great road.

Then you should also understand the other party’s deep intention of giving this jade pendant to Xiaoqi, right?”

Xu Ran nodded bitterly, with a slight self-deprecating smile at the corner of his mouth, "The old guard must have noticed my identity and knew that I needed such a mark of the soul to break through my cultivation and defeat the major forces that control the laws of the great road.

.

And because of some calculation, he took advantage of the situation to help me, but he did not point it out directly, but handed the soul mark into my hands with Xiaoqi's hand.

This subtle method was to tell me that he already knew my identity, but he had no ill intentions.

Haha, I always thought that I had hidden myself very well when I went out several times before, but I didn’t want to not even know when I was being targeted...

It’s really ridiculous!”

Xu Ran felt resentful at this time. On the surface, the old guard wanted to express that he had no ill intentions, but in fact, his meaning behind the scenes was very clear. He just wanted to tell himself:

"I know all your secrets. You'd better listen to me honestly, otherwise think about the consequences yourself!"

As expected, it was the old guard who dared to guard the city gate. With some random tricks, he turned himself into a thing in his palm and played with it at will.

The key is that he has no way to resist. This is an aboveboard conspiracy. Even if he knows that there are countless pits waiting for him to jump, he can only let the other party jump down like a puppet on strings.

If you don't use the soul mark given by the other party, then the other party has already noticed your identity. With the other party's unfathomable cultivation level, maybe he has already tracked you before you are aware of it. In that case, maybe

The system mountain has also been exposed.

After Xu Ran came to this world, he knew that if he wanted to live the way he wanted to live, only absolute strength was the foundation. Now that he had such an opportunity in front of him to take his cultivation one step closer, he absolutely couldn't

give up.

This is the only way to break fate now. As long as the cultivation level successfully breaks through to the out-of-body stage, it is possible to go further...

After thinking about this clearly, Xu Ran gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Then just use it. Since the other party has already given it to us, why shouldn't we use it?"

The three tool clones were shocked when they heard Xu Ran's words, "Noumenon, this is not your character. Aren't you afraid of the other party's plot?"

Xu Ran spread his hands, "Then do you have a better way?" Then he changed his voice and said, "But after my cultivation reaches a breakthrough, I will have to die completely."

"you mean……"

Xu Ran nodded, "Yes, we will take the initiative to attract the other party when the time comes. Don't forget that we still have the last resort left by the system..."

As long as we break through to the out-of-body stage and solve this problem, we will completely have a legal identity in this world, and then nothing can stop us on our path.

The worst we can do is wait until we reach the Golden Immortal before we go out..."

"Since you have decided on your identity, go ahead and do it, but..."

"But what?"

"It's nothing. You should prepare yourself for a breakthrough..."

The toolman clones hesitated for a while and finally did not say what was in their hearts. They originally wanted to say that even if everything went as planned as planned by the main body, they would not be able to win the Golden Immortal. After all, they had no resources.

However, seeing Xu Ran who was as if he had been beaten to death, they finally did not choose to speak out.

It's not easy for the real body to survive for more than two thousand years. It's rare for him to be passionate, so don't hit him.

In fact, Xu Ran was just frightened by the pressure brought by the "old guard", and subconsciously put aside the resource matter, thinking that as long as he broke through to the out-of-body stage and solved the problem of legal identity, he would no longer be subject to the world.

Restricted.

In fact, this is just subconscious self-comfort when facing a crisis.

…………

Fenghua Sanren didn't know that Xu Ran was frightened by his compromising behavior. If he had seen what he just saw, he would definitely retort loudly.

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense. If I knew that that thing could allow people to break through to the out-of-body stage, I wouldn't give it to you even if I risked my life.

I just thought that this thing would no longer be of much use to me in the Nascent Soul stage, so I thought of giving it to you."

However, Feng Hua Sanren definitely doesn't know this. He only knows that this jade pendant can speed up the cultivation speed of the monk Nascent Soul. For him who is about to become a god, it has little meaning.

Coincidentally, it is precisely because Fenghua Sanren is only a casual cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage and does not understand the process of breaking through from the transformation stage to the out-of-body stage, so he did not discover the special features of the jade pendant.

Fenghua Sanren only regarded it as an ordinary secret treasure to speed up cultivation, so they took advantage of Xu Ran. If they knew the truth of the matter, they would probably regret it.

…………

At this time, not far from the outside of System Mountain, Wang Donglai's figure came out of the crack in space. He had just taken the Immortal Machine Pill to temporarily restore his cultivation to the Earth Immortal cultivation level, and now he looked a little tired.

After checking his surroundings with his immortal sense, he murmured with an ugly face,
Chapter completed!
