BXBX NOVEL Chapter 591 Critical News
Since the Starry Earth Realm, Lan Rui immersed herself in cultivation. The results were more than evident. Her cultivation had finally reached the middle stages of the Divine Ruler realm!
From the early to the middle stage was a huge jump in power. Lan Rui\'s overall power was enhanced by 50%.
Previously, she was already able to exchange moves with middle stage Divine Rulers while in the early stage.
Now, her prowess has taken a leap to where she can contend with ordinary late stage Divine Rulers!
There was no need to speak of her ranking among the direct disciples. Lan Rui undoubtedly stands at the top of all four of them!
But she didn\'t bother making her prestige well-known. That kind of glory never meant that much to her. The noise felt genuinely bothersome.
With geniuses like Cain and Amber in her life, she felt even more disinterest in garnering fame. After all, she\'s more than aware of how much work she needs to put in to improve.
She held zero hope of catching Cain\'s shadow. But at the very least, she wanted to be a proud genius that can stand on her own two legs without any help.
Lan Rui had her own personal cultivation dwelling to meditate in. But there were some advantages she could use while on this training ground.
Her Ice Laws encountered less suppression, allowing her energy to be wilder and more rampant. She could exert more power at her leisure.
Stressing down on her Ice Laws was also a great form of training. Every time she felt like she reached the peak of her control, her Ice Laws would go slightly surpass her limits.
This style of continuous training was serene for Lan Rui. She didn\'t expect anyone else to disturb her.
However, a change occurred on this day.
The neutral training ground allowed for any direct disciple to come in. Thus, Lan Rui soon heard a mental pulse ring through her mind.
The voice said, "It\'s Lin Zui, martial sister. If you can, please recall your cultivation for a moment. I have something very important to discuss with you. It involves a matter with your master."
Everything around Lan Rui instantly stopped. The frost atmosphere disperse and her eyes flung open.
There wasn\'t a lot that could truly move Lan Rui\'s mind. Most matters on her mind revolved solely around cultivation. But there were people she couldn\'t possibly ignore.
One of them being her unfathomable master, Elder Ma.
Lan Rui may be indifferent to Lin Zui and suspicious of his intentions. But his master is also a fellow grandmaster. He has some qualifications to dare speak about her master.
A streak of green light tore through the air and silently landed down in the training field. The power of Supreme Wind Divine Laws rippled from Lin Zui\'s body. His momentum would typically be potent even against other early Divine Rulers.
But the moment Lin Zui had landed, a sense of suppression covered his entire body. His Divine Aura couldn\'t generate its usually sweeping momentum. The energy of his Laws felt firmly inferior.
A trace of fear flashed in his eyes. \'She already reached middle Divine Ruler! It has only been several years and her breakthrough came so soon! This could really only happen all because of him...\'
Insidious intentions still swarmed around Lin Zui\'s soul. He felt increasingly excited about his next moves.
Lan Rui cared little about his reaction toward her cultivation. She directly asked, "Just what matter do you have about my master?"
"Ah, yes." Lin Zui also skipped the small talk. "I\'m sure this will be something you couldn\'t possibly refuse. I have a way for you to find the life-vein root for Elder Ma."
"Wha?? You!" Lan Rui, the normally icy woman who wouldn\'t even flinch under a chaotic storm, stood to her feet, her eyes fully open in surprise.
The matter of her master was very critical. It affected her to a soulful level. To where it even disturbs her cultivation. Lan Rui\'s state of mind could never be fully calm unless her master\'s issue was taken care of.
The possibility of Elder Ma dying left Lan Rui completely stifled. She desperately hoped there was some way she could alleviate her master\'s burdens.
But what could she possibly do with her meager Divine Ruler cultivation?
Thus, Lan Rui had always worn this issue with a heavy heart. Not a day goes past when she doesn\'t think about potentially saving her master.
And now, seemingly out of the blue, that day had come.
By a rival of hers, no less.
Feelings of joy did surge from Lan Rui. However, she didn\'t lose all of her rationality. Her Divine Ruler mind was quick to become suspicious of Lin Zui.
She tentatively asked, "Just how was this possible? If there is a way, why hasn\'t Elder Xi been the first to know about it? And for that matter, why come to me, a mere Divine Ruler?"
Lin Zui gently sighed. "For starters, this was all the work of my master and his social connections. I am merely the messenger. As for Elder Xi\'s case...well, you should be more than aware of Elder Xi\'s blatant dislike for my master. Out of the entire Holy Land, she\'s the only one who can directly suppress him. Furthermore, Elder Xi never liked how master attempts to get close to Elder Ma. If he were to come out of the blue with this, a potential fight could erupt between them, wouldn\'t you agree?"
Lan Rui stayed silent for a moment. There was nothing she could deny. All grandmasters of cultivation are all old monsters with plenty of experience under their helm.
Rarely would you meet a grandmaster naïve or benevolent enough to trust. Even a simple act of kindness can truly be seen as a suspicious move from Elder Xi\'s point of view.
Still, Lan Rui didn\'t give up her questioning. "That may be so for your master. But then, why, of all people, come to me? Is it because Elder Gao fears that my master will go to Elder Xi and worsen the situation?"
"Not just that." Lin Zui faintly smiled. "The news to the life-vein root must be kept as secluded as possible. Master doesn\'t want to take any risks. Only a very, very select few can know about this. If the life vein root were to be just slightly leaked, do you know the storm it would cause?"
"Hmph. I know it better than anyone else. That life vein root can practically reverse any condition in the universe. Even Heavenly Venerate can be healed by it. Life Laws are rarely, if ever, seen before."
A shudder ran through Lan Rui. The bloodshed that the life vein root can cause would be far too terrifying. It would be a disaster if the news got leaked.
But Lan Rui still curled her brows. "This still doesn\'t answer the question of how your master found out about the life vein root. And why come to me?"
Lin Zui nodded. "I was just coming to that. You see, I can\'t tell you anything about how my master found out about the root. You can believe me or not, but I genuinely know nothing about his means. As for why you were chosen, well, to put it bluntly, you are close to martial brother Lee, no?"
"Hm?" A strange color lightly dusted Lan Rui\'s cheeks. Her mind swirled with thoughts.
But she blinked her eyes to keep herself calm. "Why bring this up? How does this relate in any way?"
"That\'s because where the life-vein root is located would be a place crawling with Holy King masters. And martial brother Lee should at least have the ability to defend and escape from them. Plus, martial brother Lee is the only one who has that strange art that instantly teleports him around. To find precious treasures, wouldn\'t he really be the best option for it?"
"I-I see..." Lan Rui readily accepted the miracles Cain could do. Her entire heart was thoroughly convinced that there was no end to the magical feats Cain can pull out.
Perhaps anyone else would only earn a disdainful snort from her. But not her martial brother Lee.
Lan Rui\'s mind quickly worked. As she thought over everything she gradually became calmer.
Now, her gaze became icily intent. She couldn\'t afford to get the slightest thing wrong with her master, thus she coldly asked, "Now that we reach this point, you will show me proof of your claims, right? And for that matter, how do you expect me to simply not tell my master without caring for Elder Gao?"
A spike of fear surged through Lin Zui. The inside of his body suddenly terrifying chill. Bone-piercing coldness swept through his body. He nearly shivered at just the small contact! It was almost as if his body was getting slowly dipped in an ocean that was below-freezing degrees!
Lin Zui had a faint thought. This Lan Rui was far more terrifying than any of the other direct disciples.
