“Hey there, Little Black!
“Thanks for your hard work, come have a few spirit fruits to quench your thirst!”
An Lin waved excitedly at Black Spirit Snake to extend a warm, enthusiastic greeting.
Black Spirit Snake’s lips twitched. Back when he wasn’t powerful enough to defeat her, he called her Big Sister Black Spirit Snake. But now, he was calling her Little Black?
F*ck, I really want to cut him down!
Black Spirit Snake repressed the urge to attack him with her massive sword as she descended beside him.
“This is the high-rank divine tool Nuwa sourced for you, the Hong Meng Divine Spear.”
She extended a hand, and a divine spear emanating rich divine power fluctuations appeared over her palm. A purple mist of energy particles spread through the air as the space around the divine spear began to crumble and cave in.
An Lin’s eyes lit up. “This is a fantastic item!”
He tried to grab the divine spear, only for Black Spirit Snake to withdraw her hand before taking a step back. “Hand over the money first! We don’t take credit!”
“Hehe, are you worried that I don’t have the money?” An Lin chuckled.
“Hmph, who knows? Two billion spirit stones is an astronomical amount even for Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures. You better not try to swindle me.” Black Spirit Snake held the divine spear tightly in her hand and surveyed An Lin with a cautious expression.
An Lin smiled and didn’t say anything. Instead, he let his storage ring do the talking.
Boom!
Five hundred thousand vital stones crashed to the ground.
The earth tremored as vital energy swept through the air. Black Spirit Snake was almost blinded by the white light.
“These… these are all vital stones?!”
Black Spirit Snake was so astonished that she momentarily forgot how to breathe.
Each vital stone was the equivalent of ten thousand spirit stones, so there were at least five billion spirit stones here!
“See? Just the vital stones in my storage ring is enough to purchase two or three of those spears. How could I possibly not have enough money to give you?” An Lin smirked.
Black Spirit Snake blushed as she gritted her teeth with indignation. “How do you have so much money…”
“If you’re powerful enough, you can have this much money too.” An Lin smiled.
Black Spirit Snake received a second blow.
Could this b*stard possibly be any more infuriating?
“Ignore him, Big Sister Black Spirit Snake. Come and have some spirit fruits.”
Little Xiaolan pointed at the fruits on the table with a dainty smile.
Black Spirit Snake turned toward the angelic little girl beside An Lin with a surprised and hesitant expression. “You’re… Xu Xiaolan?”
“That’s right.” Little Xiaolan nodded and looked at Black Spirit Snake with large, bright eyes completely devoid of any impurity.
Black Spirit Snake’s heart jolted slightly with shock. This was the person Her Majesty Nuwa had mentioned that had the right to transcend?
She was feeling even more envious now…
She heaved an internal sigh and took two billion spirit stones before handing the divine tool over to An Lin and grabbing a spirit fruit to eat.
It was the least they could offer her for her courier services!
Black Spirit Snake decided to fill her stomach before she left!
An Lin was quite happy to see this, and he brought out another dozen or so precious high-rank spirit fruits from his storage ring. “No hurry, there are more here if this isn’t enough for you.”
Black Spirit Snake: “…”
“Little Gu, I want to eat Cloud Crystal Grapes,” An Lin instructed lazily.
“Yes, Master.” The gorgeous young woman in the colorful dress nodded before picking up a translucent white grape and delivering it to An Lin’s mouth in a series of extremely rehearsed movements.
An Lin opened his mouth and accepted the grape like a lazy landlord.
Black Spirit Snake was even more enraged upon seeing this, and she bit down viciously into her spirit fruit with disdain and disappointment in her eyes. She was very disappointed that she had lost her chance to bash An Lin.
“Sigh… who would have thought that I would end up becoming the type of person I once hated the most…” An Lin sighed as he looked up into the sky.
A hint of surprise appeared in Black Spirit Snake’s eyes. Did this mean An Lin had some self-awareness?
“Don’t think like that, An Lin. I’ll love you no matter what kind of person you are.” Little Xiaolan didn’t understand why An Lin was saying something like this, but she still offered some comforting words.
An Lin shook his head. “Sigh… I really am confused. How did I end up becoming the type of person I once despised the most? Is there any point in living like this?”
Black Spirit Snake chuckled coldly. “You do have some self-awareness after all.”
Little Xiaolan: “What kind of person did you once despise the most?”
An Lin: “Rich people.”
Little Xiaolan: “…”
Black Spirit Snake: “…”
“Pffft…” Ye Ling couldn’t help but burst into laughter as she intentionally increased her power output in her massage, making An Lin recoil with pain.
“Oh… go easy on me, my good disciple!”
“Hehe, go harder!” Little Xiaolan chuckled coldly.
Black Spirit Snake discovered that she couldn’t even bear to eat spirit fruits here anymore.
For f*ck’s sake! An Lin was most definitely the most annoying person she knew!
Most importantly, she couldn’t bash him!
“I’m going.” Black Spirit Snake turned to leave.
“Hey, don’t go, Little Black. There are still many spirit fruits here, have some more!” An Lin persuaded.
“I still have things I need to do. Farewell!” Black Spirit Snake left without even turning to look at him.
An Lin heaved a resigned sigh upon seeing this. “Why is everyone so busy? The main battle hasn’t even begun yet…”
Little Xiaolan turned toward An Lin with a speechless expression. Was he really unaware of why they were all so “busy”?
An Lin turned his attention to the high-rank divine tool, the Hong Meng Divine Spear.
This was no ordinary divine tool. Not only did it possess extremely devastating spatial penetrative power, but it could also easily pierce through the barriers between worlds and was a top-notch divine tool.
Two billion for a divine tool like this was a massive bargain!
“Such a powerful divine tool is only one of nine required to activate the Nine Life Vital Disc… Just how badass is this Nine Life Vital Disc…” An Lin was very intrigued.
After enjoying his luxurious lifestyle for a while longer, he arrived on the grasslands outside of the sect and began to fiddle around with his Nine Life Vital Disc.
“An Lin, I’ve already set up a protective formation, so you don’t have to worry about anything,” Little Xiaolan called from afar.
She could already briefly summon the power of the Vermilion Bird, so no one in the Four Nine Immortal Sect was more capable of protecting the sect than she was.
An Lin’s heart was put at ease upon seeing this, and he pulled out the round, dark grey disc.
There was a series of abstruse and complex veined patterns inscribed upon the disc as well as nine mysterious holes that were spread evenly around the disc, from within which the power of nothingness emanated.
An Lin brought out the nine high-rank divine tools and placed them into the nine holes. All of the divine tools shrank after coming into contact with their respective holes. They were then enshrouded by a white ball of energy.
The Hong Meng Divine Spear, Thousandfold Puppet Heart, Red Dance Divine Sword, Infernal Dragon Saber Bone, Necromancy Divine Staff, Extremely Divine Heavenly Saber, Chaotic Scale Armor, Black Origin Divine Spear, and the Extreme Star!
These were all priceless treasures that countless Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures across the entire Tai Chu Continent would die for, and all of them had been placed into the Nine Life Vital Disc by An Lin. Divine lights erupted from the divine tools, and the lights flowed into the veined patterns on the disc before converging at the center of the disc.
An Lin was getting very excited. It was time to witness a miracle!
