Chapter 85: Leng Yanran – “Darn It, So Jealous”

"Of course I can," Chen Daoxuan replied with a faint smile, confirming Li Yurong and Leng Yanran's suspicions.

"Hiss—"

"Master truly is omnipotent!"

Leng Yanran couldn't help but draw a sharp breath, realizing she had still underestimated her master's abilities.

Cultivating two supreme techniques simultaneously, and both at the mythic-grade—how terrifying was that?

Even now, at the Profound Sky Realm, she could easily crush a ninth-layer Unity Realm cultivator. She could even defeat those in the Extinction Realm without much difficulty. If she had to face a first-layer Boundless Realm opponent—a whole three major realms higher—Leng Yanran still felt confident in her chances.

That said, with the trump cards her master had given her, she had never actually been pushed to the brink.

"Yanran, go spar with your junior sister to test her divine technique," Chen Daoxuan instructed casually, ignoring the stunned expressions around him.

The two women respectfully acknowledged his words and stepped to the side.

"Senior sister, I think my divine technique isn't really for attacking..."

"Wait a moment, this is my first time using it, so I'm not very familiar with it yet," Li Yurong said nervously.

Leng Yanran gave a slight nod in understanding.

"Sacred Dragon Transformation!"

At Li Yurong's low cry, a golden dragon appeared behind her, coiling around her body before wrapping her completely. As the dragon's shadow gradually faded, Li Yurong's form was revealed, now covered in shimmering dragon scales, like an indestructible suit of armor.

The scales radiated a faint, sharp gleam. Though this divine technique wasn't offensive, it vastly enhanced her defensive power. Furthermore, the razor-sharp scales posed a significant threat in close combat.

"Junior sister's divine technique is indeed extraordinary..."

"In that case, brace yourself," Leng Yanran warned, glancing briefly at their master, who sat calmly in the pavilion, observing. Knowing that nothing could go wrong with him present, she decided to unleash her full power with the Demonic Heaven Finger to see if Yurong could truly withstand it.

As the eldest disciple, Leng Yanran couldn't afford to lose to her junior sister, especially not in front of their master!

"Ah, so scary! Senior sister is so scary..."

Li Yurong, who had been standing poised, suddenly started hopping nervously as her senior sister unleashed the Demonic Heaven Finger. She muttered fearfully, unable to hide her apprehension.

Yet even so, Leng Yanran was utterly astonished!

The Demonic Heaven Finger wasn't just an attack; it also restrained the opponent's movements.

Even Extinction Realm cultivators would lose their resistance, momentarily dazed by her full-force Demonic Heaven Finger. That brief lapse would be enough for her attack to strike unimpeded!

Yet Yurong seemed entirely unaffected!

"Break!"

Leng Yanran struck with precision, aiming not at Yurong's forehead but at the thickest part of her dragon-scale armor—the chest area.

After all, no matter the circumstances, it wouldn't be appropriate to deal a lethal blow to her junior sister!

Crack!

As expected, the dragon scales over Yurong's chest fractured under the force of the attack.

"Ah! No more! I give up, senior sister, stop! It hurts so much!"

Li Yurong immediately raised both hands in surrender, her face full of grievance.

Seeing this, Leng Yanran ceased her assault but couldn't help staring in shock at her junior sister's chest.

The shattered dragon scales slowly fell away, only to regenerate like living tissue, forming a brand-new layer of dragon-scale armor!

Even an Extinction Realm cultivator wouldn't have been able to withstand that strike unscathed. Yet Yurong wasn't harmed at all—she'd only felt pain!

"Impressive. With this divine technique, even most Boundless Realm cultivators would find it difficult to harm you," Chen Daoxuan remarked from the side, nodding approvingly as he ended the sparring session.

There was no need to continue. In the end, Leng Yanran would inevitably win.

Although the dragon scales could regenerate, the process consumed an immense amount of spiritual energy.

If Leng Yanran maintained her attacks a few more times, Yurong's spiritual energy would eventually be exhausted.

"Yanran, take your junior sister to the Spirit Pool Hall and wait for me there," Chen Daoxuan said after a brief moment of thought.

"I've prepared a special spirit liquid for you both to assist in breaking through your cultivation realms."

Chen Daoxuan had decided to send his disciples on a mission to the Eastern Region soon. Given their current strength, it was not entirely reassuring. At the very least, he needed Yanran to advance to the Unity Realm so that she could suppress Boundless Realm cultivators with ease, providing him peace of mind.

"What's the Spirit Pool Hall? Are there any tasty treats there?"

Li Yurong, who had been clutching her chest in pain, immediately perked up at her master's words, her eyes lighting up with excitement.

"Understood, Master. I'll take her there to wait," Leng Yanran replied, covering her forehead with one hand as she grabbed Yurong's hand and led her toward the Heavenly Dao Hall.

When they arrived at the front of the Heavenly Dao Hall, Li Yurong stared at the plaque with the characters "Heavenly Dao" inscribed on it, her expression one of slight awe.

"Oh no, junior sister doesn't have Master's jade pendant. She's entranced by the plaque..."

Leng Yanran immediately realized the situation and turned to call for their master. After all, she had experienced the same thing when she first saw the plaque, her consciousness overwhelmed by the allure of the Three Thousand Dao.

Only by carrying the jade pendant from their master could one observe the plaque without being affected.

Just as Yanran was about to call out, Li Yurong suddenly mumbled, "So fancy!"

"Huh?"

"You're not mesmerized by the Three Thousand Dao?"

"That's strange... Without Master's jade pendant, how are you unaffected?"

Yanran was baffled, staring at Yurong in confusion.

"Huh? Jade pendant?"

"Oh, I think I do have one!"

"When I was cultivating earlier, I vaguely felt Master putting a necklace on me," Li Yurong said after a moment of thought, rubbing her chin.

Hearing this, Leng Yanran noticed that, indeed, her junior sister had a cord around her neck that she hadn't seen before.

It must have been when Master gave her the pendant while Yanran had been retrieving the cultivation manual.

But wait... the cord was visible, but where was the pendant?

"Here, senior sister, is this the pendant you were talking about?"

Li Yurong pulled at the cord, revealing a warm jade pendant with a faint milky fragrance, holding it up in front of Yanran.

"Darn it... you're too good at hiding things!"

Yanran smacked her forehead, suddenly recalling that her junior sister's bosom "storage capacity" was even more remarkable than hers!

Yanran herself could stash the jade bottle of Bone-Cleansing Pills given by their master in between her breast, but her junior sister's capacity was so vast that the jade pendant disappeared entirely against her neck without a trace.

Unbelievable...

"Forget it, forget it!"

Leng Yanran glanced at her junior sister with a touch of envy before leading her into the great hall and onward to the Spirit Pool Hall.

After the two of them left, Chen Daoxuan approached the Primordial Spirit Enlightenment Tea.

"This time, I'm giving you a heads-up: I'm going to take a few branches and leaves," he said gently.

He remembered how frightened the Primordial Spirit Enlightenment Tea had been the last time he had casually taken branches and leaves.

As soon as he spoke, the tea tree obediently snapped off two branches with a crisp "crack," the twigs laden with tender green tea leaves.

"Master is so kind, even remembering what Tea-Tea said!"
