Chapter 277: Chapter 276: Pies Really Do Fall from the Sky

Ginsengfruit was hopping mad but had no way to charge at those people and give them a few hard punches.

[Host, why didn’t you teach them a lesson just now!]

At this moment, Yun Ran had found a roadside stall and was tucking into a bowl of freshly cooked noodles without even lifting her head.

"Of course, it’s because they’re embroiled in major karma, and I don’t want to get involved in their retribution."

Although she’s now a temporary worker for the Special Administration Bureau, she isn’t a saint with the duty to oversee everything.

After eating and drinking her fill, Yun Ran bought a bicycle in the town. She had calculated that there was a place in the Northwest that was very suitable for her Artifact Refining.

As she traveled, the number of companions dwindled, the location became more remote, until finally, not a single silhouette was to be seen, let alone a road.

Only then did Yun Ran get off her bicycle and placed it under a rock which could provide shelter from the rain.

Ginsengfruit sensed the surroundings and noted that there was truly not a soul in sight.

[Host, what are you doing here!]

Yun Ran took out her Compass and began to Divinate the most precise position; during Artifact Refining, one cannot be disturbed, otherwise, it could backfire.

"Didn’t I promise you before that I’d craft a body for you? Now that I’ve gathered all the materials, we can start refining."

Ginsengfruit instantly felt as though it had been struck by a pleasant surprise, its data fluctuating wildly and failing to return to normal for a long time.

Yun Ran, however, ignored Ginsengfruit. Holding the Compass in one hand and performing a hand seal with the other, she quickly chose the most suitable spot.

"I never expected that there’d be so many Feng Shui treasures in this Northwest."

Saying this, Yun Ran took out a piece of clothing from her backpack to cover her head, as there were no roads here, and it was overgrown with weeds.

Some of the grass was even taller than Yun Ran. She had to be careful not to let the grass accidentally cut her skin.

The Little Papermen were also busy, clearing the path ahead, but given their small size, they quickly vanished from sight as they flew into the thicket.

The sky had completely darkened, and Yun Ran had only managed to complete half of the journey after much effort.

Yun Ran had the aura of a Dragon Spirit on her. Although she deliberately suppressed it, even the experts from the Special Administration Bureau might not be able to detect it.

But the innate dominance of the Dragon Spirit was still a natural enemy to animals, especially to those without any spiritual wisdom.

All along the way, Yun Ran didn’t encounter a single snake, worm, rat, or ant.

In the Northwest night, the temperature plummeted. Yun Ran beckoned, and immediately a Little Paperman flew back to her.

"Go find some dry firewood or straw."

The Little Paperman swiftly flew out, and when it failed to find suitable branches, it punched and broke off a dead tree, then carried the trunk back.

However, its form was far too small; from afar, it looked as though a piece of wood was flying.

Yun Ran: ...

With a fire going and the Little Papermen on guard, Yun Ran took out her simple sleeping bag, found a flat spot, and lay down to sleep.

In her semi-conscious state, waves of warmth, utterly different from that of the firelight, flowed into Yun Ran’s body.

Yun Ran immediately opened her eyes to see her arm covered in dense, flickering golden light, turning her into an authentic little golden figure.

"How come there’s so much Merit Golden Light?"

Meanwhile, Daoist Qingmu, who was recuperating in the hospital, also opened his eyes and stared at the sparse golden specks floating around him.

He was completely dumbfounded.

"This... This is actually Merit Golden Light!"

Daoist Qingmu even rubbed his eyes, worrying that he was seeing things.

But the golden light points were still there, Daoist Qingmu pinched his face: "Ss~ Really painful, seems it’s not a dream."

Daoist Qingmu cautiously reached out his hand and touched one of the golden lights.

As if invited, the golden light started to pour into Daoist Qingmu’s body, and in a blink, dozens of points of golden light had disappeared.

The scene was so quick, Daoist Qingmu was still a bit dazed. Could he actually see such concentrated Merit Golden Light in his lifetime?

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but when the Merit Golden Light entered his body, Daoist Qingmu felt much lighter.

Thinking of something, he hurriedly got out of bed, opened the door of the sickroom, and prepared to check on Master Jiechen.

Unexpectedly, other people in the same situation had the same idea.

Almost at the same time, when it was time to sleep, the corridor of the sickroom was suddenly lined with bandaged people.

"You all too..."

Daoist Qingmu was the first to speak, but he didn’t finish what he was saying, yet the others understood him instantly.

They all nodded.

Master Jiechen said with a smile: "It’s very late. Everyone should rest early; nothing has happened."

When one person has a secret, they may be trembling in fear.

But when a group of people share a secret, for their own benefit, nobody would easily let it slip.

That night, many from the Special Administration Bureau did not sleep, but everyone kept the fact that they had obtained Merit Golden Light to themselves.

These people, who had received varying amounts from a few to dozens of Merit Golden Light, felt like it was a gift from the heavens.

They had no idea that Yun Ran was nearly drowning in Merit Golden Light at the moment.

Feeling that the Merit Golden Light had healed all his hidden injuries, yet there was still a continuous flow of Merit Golden Light coming his way.

Yun Ran suddenly didn’t understand: "Is this Merit Golden Light being given out wholesale, for free?"

Ginsengfruit was also desperately vying for these merits; it had never encountered such affluence.

It was about to replenish the energy it had spent on Yun Ran.

Yun Ran’s hair was nearly turning golden but still hadn’t absorbed all the Merit. If he didn’t hurry, who knew if the Merit Golden Light would dissipate.

He couldn’t let it go to waste, Yun Ran released Mo Zhi with a flick of his hand and split some of the Merit with her: "Hurry and absorb it!"

Mo Zhi thought the Master had let her out to put her to work, but who could have imagined, following the Master could mean that there really might be pie falling from the sky.

She immediately took out her soul beads and started absorbing the Merit Golden Light.

As the saying goes, if one person attains the Tao, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. At this moment, far away in Hai City, Dragon Spirit was sleeping on a soft and comfortable bed, savoring the taste of the delicacies he had just eaten today.

But then, he was abruptly awakened by a scorching sensation on his tail.

Dragon Spirit’s eyes snapped open, the vertical pupils especially intimidating.

Only when he saw that a cluster of Merit Golden Light had attached to his exposed dragon tail, did those vertical pupils revert back to human eyes.

"Why would there be Merit?"

He knew well what sort of creature he was; it would be good enough if the heavens didn’t strike him down, so why would Merit descend upon him?
