Before the five awe-inspiring items, Lan An trembled, reviewing each repeatedly, his racing heartbeat unrelenting.
The System's surprises this time were overwhelming.
"Jin'er…" Lan An's throat was dry as he called out, eager for her to explain these terrifying treasures.
Understanding his intent, Jin'er spoke gravely,
"The Golden Slaughter White Tiger Bloodline is a mutated lineage of the White Tiger Clan, appearing once in ten thousand years. Ruthless and decisive, the White Tiger embodies Metal, making this Bloodline ideal for those with Metal spirit roots…"
Lan An immediately thought of the perfect candidate for the Golden Slaughter White Tiger.
"The Sword Control Art is among the supreme sword techniques of heaven and earth. Practitioners use spiritual energy to manipulate swords with infinite variations. The number of swords controlled depends on cultivation and mastery of the technique's layers. At its highest layer, a single thought summons Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Origin, shaking the heavens!"
"No need to elaborate on the Sky Summit Flame. It's a Top 10 Variant Flame on the Ice Heaven Continent's Variant Flame List, shaped like a pill cauldron—a priceless treasure for alchemists!"
"The Five Elements Saint Body, ranked sixth on the Great Constitution List, allows its bearer to naturally generate five mutually reinforcing and countering spirit roots: Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, and Earth. These can be fused or separated with a thought, vastly enhancing combat strength, with countless other uses for the bearer to discover and comprehend…"
"Only sixth?" Lan An muttered, slightly disappointed, having expected more.
"Please, Young Master! A Top 10 Constitution makes one a heaven's chosen in the Immortal Realm, capable of dominating countless universes, annihilating dozens of Vietnam Dragon Stars with a thought. You understand what sixth means?" Jin'er glared, exasperated. When had his standards surpassed hers?
"It's not suited for me anyway. I rely on the Convergence Cauldron, which lets me use any attribute. No need to waste the Five Elements Saint Body," Lan An said, pursing his lips.
Jin'er nearly exploded with frustration. Even she revered the Five Elements Saint Body's full potential, but he dismissed it, relying on his Taboo abilities. Infuriating!
Deciding to douse his arrogance, she grinned mischievously,
"As for the Chaos Fire Qi, its current use is to advance the Spirit Realm Pearl one-fifth toward becoming a Five Elements Small World. To fully interact with or gain more benefits from any Chaos Qi attribute, wait until you reach Immortal King. You're not qualified yet, bleh!"
She stuck out her tongue, teasing him.
Lan An froze, then shook his head with a wry smile. Of course, the best item was beyond his current reach. A treasure coveted by Immortal Realm Great Powers, usable only by Immortal Kings?
He didn't even know the stages to reach Immortal King.
Still, the other four items were earth-shattering enough.
"Husband, what's wrong?"
Seeing Lan An's silence and shifting expressions, the women grew concerned.
"Haha, nothing. Just shocked—Master Jin'er's gift is a bit grand!" Lan An waved it off, regaining his composure. With a thought, he transported himself and his wives into the Spirit Realm Pearl, shielding the items from prying eyes.
The Dream Immortal Boat continued soaring through the sky.
"Husband, more treasures?" The women, seeing his caution, buzzed with excitement.
Even the playful Kun Ming Yue sat quietly in Hai Yu Qing's lap, her face eager, a comical sight.
Lan An smiled mysteriously instead of answering, turning gently to Xiao Qing Xuan,
"Xuan'er, remember my promise to you?"
Xiao Qing Xuan started, her deep black eyes blinking, joy flashing as she softly asked,
"Rebuilding Master's body? Did Master Jin'er find a female Transcending Tribulation cultivator's bones?"
Inside her ring, Dan Meng Ji pricked her ears, afraid to miss anything crucial.
Lan An rubbed his nose sheepishly. That was indeed his promise, but it was far from fulfilled.
"Ten ten ten tèn!"
Without dragging on, Lan An chanted playfully under the women's curious gazes.
Whoosh!
The air's temperature surged, a blazing red flame piercing the clouds, dancing fiercely on Lan An's arm.
Its heat forced him to use Emperor Flame to protect his hand.
"A Variant Flame?" Yan Yue Qi, Yan Hong Lian, and Qin Meng Ying reacted instantly, sensitive to such flames.
The red flame in Lan An's hand condensed, transforming into a roaring pill cauldron, its heat capable of refining all creation.
A grand red cauldron, formed of flames, materialized before the women.
"Sky Summit… Sky Summit Flame!?"
Xiao Qing Xuan and Dan Meng Ji exclaimed, hands covering their mouths, eyes brimming with indescribable shock. For alchemists like them, even the top-ranked Variant Flame couldn't compare to the Sky Summit Flame.
"Hehe, I had Master Jin'er search long and hard for it. Consider this one promise kept!" Lan An said smugly.
Xiao Qing Xuan trembled, mist clouding her eyes. She threw herself into his arms, clinging to his waist.
He'd promised to find the Sky Summit Flame himself. She'd brushed it off, touched by his intent, knowing it was harder than finding a needle in the sea.
Yet, he'd done it.
"Husband, with the Sky Summit Flame, my alchemy will soar. I won't disappoint you!" Xiao Qing Xuan looked up, her soft hand caressing his handsome face, her eyes filled with loving devotion.
"I and everyone believe in you!" Lan An smiled warmly, embracing her alluring figure in a black bikini.
Unseen by them, inside the ring, Dan Meng Ji's soul flickered with joy and longing. This man kept his word—she believed he'd rebuild her body too.
"The Sky Summit Flame isn't a combat flame, but its power is immense…" Yan Hong Lian sighed.
"Indeed. Husband should dual cultivate with Sister Xuan to exchange Variant Flames—multiple benefits in one go!" Yan Yue Qi suggested seriously.
Xiao Qing Xuan's cheeks flushed, but she didn't object, shyly nestling in his chest.
Lan An smiled. Their bond was ready to blossom, so he didn't refuse, though there was no rush.
"Dung'er, look!"
ROAR!
A deafening roar, thick with killing intent, stunned the women. A domineering slaughter aura slammed into them, a phantom White Tiger baring its fangs and claws, proudly dominating the starry sky. Unlike typical White Tigers, its fur lacked black stripes, instead adorned with dazzling golden ones, exuding majesty and nobility.
"This is…" Nam Cung Wei Dung's face shook. Her Needle Slaughter Scripture focused on speed and killing, resonating with the Golden Slaughter White Tiger's aura, feeling no repulsion but harmony.
A surge of slaughter aura overwhelmed the women below Void Refinement, paling their faces.
"Dung'er's technique emphasizes speed and killing, perfectly suited for this Divine Beast White Tiger. So powerful!" Yan Ruo Xue said, voice trembling.
"A White Tiger… legend says one perished with a Supreme White Devouring Star Snake. Its combat strength is formidable, but this White Tiger feels different," Bai Suo Mai said, puzzled, sensing intense danger from the phantom, unlike the White Tiger in her inherited memories.
"It's the Golden Slaughter White Tiger, a mutated strain of the White Tiger Clan. I don't know its full strength—Dung'er will show us in time!" Lan An handed her a jade bottle, smiling.
"I won't disappoint Husband or my sisters, nor disgrace the Divine Beast White Tiger's name!" Nam Cung Wei Dung said solemnly, storing the Bloodline, her heart ablaze with fighting spirit.
"Sigh, everyone gets Bloodlines and Constitutions, but look at me! Someone's playing favorites, huhu…" Qin Meng Ying sighed dramatically, lounging on the grass, her full lips pouting cutely, utterly adorable.
Her figure, the most captivating among the women, curved seductively in a thin bikini, fatally alluring.
Ling Long, Yu Qing, and Lian Hua exchanged smiles, unbothered by lacking Bloodlines or Constitutions, finding them less necessary. Little Shi, curled on Lan An's shoulder in beast form, already had a superior Bloodline and needed only her master.
Lan An chuckled at Qin Meng Ying's act, teasing, "I had a powerful Constitution for you, but if you don't want it…"
"What? Who said I don't want it?"
Qin Meng Ying flipped 180 degrees, her lithe body settling on his lap, her soft hips brushing against his stirring little brother. Her finger traced circles on his chest, her breath like orchids.
"You little seductress, didn't you just accuse me of favoritism?" Lan An kissed her fragrant lips, teasing.
Qin Meng Ying playfully slipped her lilac tongue into his mouth, swirling briefly, and purred,
"Husband, I was joking. What Constitution? Is it better than the Golden Crow Bloodline?"
"You cheeky girl! No matter what you practice, you can't surpass me, so stop dreaming!" Yan Yue Qi scolded with a laugh, exasperated by her second junior sister.
"Alright, Little An, stop teasing Meng Ying," Liu Shi Qin smiled gently.
"We want to know about this Constitution too!" Bing Ling Er said eagerly.
Lan An glanced around, seeing the women's anticipation. He stopped teasing Qin Meng Ying, gently tapping her nose, and said seriously,
"It's the Five Elements Saint Body. It generates five spirit roots…"
He relayed all Jin'er's information.
The women's eyes widened, stunned by the Five Elements Saint Body's capabilities.
Despite their time with Lan An, accustomed to rare treasures, they couldn't help envying the Constitution.
Who wouldn't want such a terrifying Constitution?
"Such a Constitution exists!?" Dan Meng Ji gasped, her Transcending Tribulation resolve faltering for the first time.
"Husband… three spirit roots make a top genius. Five, like you, make a prodigy. If Meng Ying forms the Five Elements Saint Body, how many spirit roots would she have…?" Yan Yue Qi mused, covering her mouth, feeling it unreal.
"Exactly. That's why I chose it for Meng Ying," Lan An explained seriously.
"Meng Ying has Fire, Lightning, and Dark spirit roots. With the Five Elements Saint Body, she'll gain Water, Earth, Wood, and Metal—combined with her existing three, that's seven spirit roots!"
Silence…
The space fell quiet, the women in shock. Seven spirit roots—an unprecedented existence in the Cultivation World. Her combat strength? Unknown.
"Husband… can I really…?" Even Qin Meng Ying found it surreal, whispering as she nestled in his arms.
"Don't you trust yourself?" Lan An smiled, asking back.
"I do… as long as you and my sisters believe in me!" Qin Meng Ying nodded fiercely, a thrilling surge in her heart.
She wanted to try, to be the Cultivation World's unique existence, the first with seven spirit roots: Lightning, Dark, Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, and Earth.
With the Hundred Faces Heavenly Art's terrifying spiritual energy recovery, she'd become Lan An's right hand, slaying gods and demons alike.
"Don't get too excited. Forming the Five Elements Saint Body isn't as simple as the Array Saint Body. It's harder than the Great Sun Divine Body. Enduring five attributes' torment isn't easy!" Jin'er doused her enthusiasm.
"What do we do?" Lan An started, realizing everything came at a cost.
"Refine Five Spirit Pills—Supreme Heaven-Grade pills. The more, the better, for Qin Meng Ying to use during the process. They'll ease her pain and help her adapt to the five elements quickly," Jin'er answered.
There was a pill far superior—Five Elements Pill—but even a Peak Eighth-Grade Alchemist couldn't know of it. It existed only in the Immortal Realm, so Jin'er didn't mention it.
Lan An nodded, turning to Xiao Qing Xuan, "Xuan'er, do you and your master know of Five Spirit Pills?"
"Yes, but I need to reach Peak Sixth-Grade Alchemy to refine them. What's your plan?" Xiao Qing Xuan asked, startled.
"Five Spirit Pills will help Meng Ying form the Five Elements Saint Body smoothly, like how Fire Fusion Pills aided Hong Lian's Great Sun Divine Body," Lan An explained.
The women nodded, and Qin Meng Ying looked at Xiao Qing Xuan eagerly, wishing to form the Constitution immediately.
"With the Sky Summit Flame, I'm confident I can refine Five Spirit Pills once I master it!" Xiao Qing Xuan's cheeks flushed, then turned serious.
"The ingredients are five spirit herbs: Metal Spirit Grass, Water Spirit Grass, Wood Spirit Grass, Fire Spirit Grass, and Earth Spirit Grass. Our Medicine Field has Metal, Water, and Wood Spirit Grass, but we lack Fire and Earth Spirit Grass."
"I have Earth Spirit Grass!" Bai Lian Hua smiled brightly. From the White Sand Dynasty, she carried Earth-type herbs for emergencies.
"Perfect! We only need Fire Spirit Grass!" The women nodded, pleased.
"Where do we find Fire Spirit Grass?" Lan An asked Xiao Qing Xuan.
She frowned, shaking her head, unsure, then glanced at her ring, softly calling, "Master…"
Silence…
After a long pause, Dan Meng Ji's clear voice emerged faintly,
"For Fire Spirit Grass, seek the Fire Underworld Sect or the Dan Clan!"
