Chapter 1140: Chapter 1138: Yejian Qiu and Jian Ruohan... (5 Updates)

Having crossed the Teleportation Array, Lin Bai appeared once more atop Blood Mountain!

With eyebrows raised and a smile, Lin Bai said, "This time the gains were good. In these Nine Stages, I raised my cultivation to the Sixth Layer of the Heavenly Elixir Realm and even obtained nine Ascension Fruits, as well as the Ascension Divine Tree!"

"The Green Flame Fire Gourd, the Prohibition Flag, the Blood Flame War God Armor—three Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifacts!"

"Not bad for a haul."

"But for me, the greatest gain is still the Ancient Divine Scripture, the unique Dharma Method of the Giant God’s cultivation!"

"And then there’s the opportunity within the Creation Divine Palace... Who would have thought that Senior Qinghe and the Red Immortal Sect had left behind so many treasures!"

"It’s no exaggeration to say that whoever obtains the Creation Divine Palace could elevate an emerging power to prominence in a short period of time!"

"I promised Senior Qinghe to deal with the Blood Fiend, but Senior Qinghe also said that on my own, I am too weak and that it would be best to establish a force..."

"But I am accustomed to being on my own. Establishing a force doesn’t really suit me... Moreover, I have so many things to do, to find Su Yanhua, to find my parents, I cannot stay within a power..."

"Forget it, I’ll think about how to establish a force after obtaining the Creation Divine Palace."

"That Creation Divine Palace, I must obtain it. Even if not for establishing a force, it’s vitally important for my cultivation!"

Content with his heart’s desires, Lin Bai descended from Blood Mountain, stepped onto his Flying Sword, and headed directly to the Teleportation Point, intent on returning to the Five Peaks.

Back to the Five Peaks.

Lin Bai went straight to Feng Bo Cave.

"Having been gone for nearly three months, I wonder how Jian Ruohan’s cultivation has progressed." As Lin Bai passed Jian Ruohan’s residence, he glanced over. Jian Ruohan was not at home, so Lin Bai went straight to his own abode.

Upon his return, he fell onto his bed and soundly slept for three days and three nights.

Indeed, these three months had thoroughly exhausted Lin Bai.

Five days later, Lin Bai washed up, changed into a clean set of clothes, and went out.

As he passed Jian Ruohan’s dwelling, he happened to see several warriors walking towards him.

Among these warriors were the familiar faces of Jian Ruohan and Yejian Qiu, as well as Dou Ning!

As this group walked, they were all full of laughter and chatter.

Yet Jian Ruohan’s expression was forever as cold as ice.

"Lin Bai!"

Upon seeing Lin Bai, Jian Ruohan immediately broke into a slight smile on her icy face and ran over.

Upon seeing Lin Bai, the smiles on Yejian Qiu and Dou Ning’s faces clearly stiffened. For some reason, these two seemed very displeased to see Lin Bai.

Lin Bai called out with a smile, "I was just about to go to your place to see if you’d returned, and here I run into you on the road."

"Ruohan, you’ve made good progress in three months, already at the Fifth Layer of the Heavenly Elixir Realm."

Lin Bai smiled lightly.

Jian Ruohan responded with a smile, "Some time ago, an Eight-Star Relic was discovered on the Miracle Ridge. I had wanted to call you to go with me, but you weren’t at home!"

Lin Bai nodded in sudden realization, "So an Eight-Star Relic emerged, no wonder it’s so extraordinary. Looks like you’ve gotten quite a few benefits in there."

Jian Ruohan smiled and said, "Got a few."

At this time, Yejian Qiu’s expression recovered, and he stepped forward with a smile, calling out, "Brother Lin, it’s been a long time."

Lin Bai replied with a smile, "Brother Ye, are you well?"

Dou Ning came over, forcing a smile on his face and gave Lin Bai a fist salute.

"Who is this person? He seems to have a really good relationship with Jian Ruohan?"

"Indeed, the always icy Jian Ruohan actually showed a smile upon seeing this person?"

"Interesting, isn’t it?"

Looking curiously at Lin Bai, the other three warriors who came with Dou Ning and the others sized him up from head to toe.

Yejian Qiu laughed and said, "Right, Brother Lin, these three are good friends we met on the Miracle Ridge. During that encounter within the Eight-Star Relic, it was thanks to these three friends’ formidable support that Jian Ruohan and I repeatedly escaped from the jaws of death."

Yejian Qiu said with a smile.

Lin Bai clasped his fist in salute to the three people.

Jian Ruohan laughed and said, "Yejian Bro, since we still have time before the start of the Saint Challenge, why don’t we head to my place for a bit? I’d like to exchange some cultivation insights with Lin Bai."

Yejian Qiu nodded and said, "That’s fine."

"You’re going to watch the Saint Challenge?" Lin Bai suddenly understood, no wonder they were in such a hurry to leave the Fifth Peak—it was to see the Saint Challenge!

"It just so happens, Ruohan, that I have something to discuss with you as well."

"Since you’re not busy, then I’ll impose on you for a bit of your time."

Lin Bai offered a faint smile.

"You have something to discuss with me? Alright then, let’s go to my place for a leisurely chat," Jian Ruohan immediately led the group towards his residence!

Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan walked side by side at the front.

Yejian Qiu and Dou Ning followed behind.

The remaining three people walked at the very back.

Yejian Qiu, seeing the backs of Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan, revealed a wry smile on his face.

Dou Ning helplessly said, "Yejian Bro, ah, what am I to say to you? If you like Junior Sister Jian Ruohan, just confess early, otherwise you’ll let others take the opportunity."

Yejian Qiu gave a wry smile and shook his head lightly.

Behind Yejian Qiu, the three others also said one after another, "Indeed, Yejian Bro, you and Junior Sister Jian Ruohan are a match made in heaven. Who is this Lin Bai to be worthy of Junior Sister Jian Ruohan?"

Yejian Qiu shook his head and said, "Enough, everyone, don’t talk about it anymore. I know how to handle my matters. Besides, Ruohan, Lin Bai, and I have been good friends for many years. I don’t want these things to disturb our relationship."

One of the blue-robed men among the three said, "Yejian Bro, how can you tolerate this? I certainly can’t. What is this Lin Bai, daring to be so close to Junior Sister Jian Ruohan? I really want to teach him a lesson!"

Yejian Qiu turned around and glanced at the blue-robed man, warning, "Wei Feng, I advise you not to seek death. You are no match for Lin Bai!"

Dou Ning laughed and said, "Yejian Bro, why put others on a pedestal and sell yourself short? Now you’re at the Sixth Layer of the Heavenly Elixir Realm, and so is Wei Feng, as is Lin Bai!"

"Plus, Senior Brother Wei Feng is a veteran disciple who has laid low on the Miracle Ridge for over a decade. I don’t think Lin Bai will be a match for Senior Brother Wei Feng!"

Dou Ning shook his head and laughed.

Wei Feng laughed and said, "Exactly, I could suppress Lin Bai with a mere lift of my hand! Yejian Bro, since you and Lin Bai are long-time friends, I may not be close to him, but if he wants to steal your woman and you’re unwilling to act, then as your brother, I naturally have to step in and do something about it!"

Yejian Qiu gave another wry smile and said, "Senior Brother Wei Feng, you..."

Wei Feng said with pride, "Alright, Yejian Bro, I understand what you mean. Don’t worry, I’ll show restraint. As long as he backs off, I won’t take his life!"

Dou Ning also said with a smile, "Yejian Bro, I think we should just settle it like this. In a moment, we’ll find a pretext for Senior Brother Wei Feng to give Lin Bai a good lesson!"

Yejian Qiu looked at Wei Feng and Dou Ning and initially wanted to say something to dissuade them, but with his thoughts in turmoil, he found himself at a loss for words!

Suddenly, the group arrived at Jian Ruohan’s residence!

"Yejian Bro, Senior Brother Dou Ning, Senior Brother Wei Feng, the few of you have some tea here. I have some matters to attend to with Lin Bai," Jian Ruohan said with a light smile.

"Lin Bai, let’s talk in my boudoir," Jian Ruohan suggested.

Lin Bai nodded slowly, expressing no objections.

This was perfect for discussing the Ascension Fruits, a matter of great importance that Lin Bai did not wish to expose to too many people!

Upon hearing "let’s talk in the boudoir," a private space where no man should casually enter, Yejian Qiu felt a bit displeased in his heart.

"Junior Brother Lin Bai, please wait a moment." Just then, Wei Feng stood up and said coldly.

Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan both turned their heads curiously, unable to understand what Wei Feng intended to do!
