Chapter 118: Big Monster Apricot
Ming Shen and others finally returned before Ren Lian Lingyi got off work.
Speaking of which, Lord Narukami has been getting lazier recently. He worked hard after the Seven Gods Banquet, but now when he goes out, he forgets to send a clone to take charge of the shogunate. This is really a bit inappropriate.
After taking all the processed documents to Lord Ming Shen for review, Ren Lian Lingyi left work.
When he arrived at the door of his house, he happened to meet the head of the Northern Continent Intelligence Organization who was stuffing information into the crack of the door.
The two sides looked at each other awkwardly.
Finally, it was Ren Lian Lingyi who spoke up, "Come in and sit down. If you have any information in the future, you can go to Tianmu Uji of Tianmu Ryu. He is my attendant knight."
Lian Lingyi had long expected that the intelligence organization would know his information, so he was not surprised at all.
"I don't know why you are looking for me this time." Ren Lian Lingyi asked after making a pot of tea.
"Your Excellency, our organization has captured live Lightning Trees and Frost Trees. The Frost Tree was found on the border between Solstice and Mondstadt, and the Lightning Tree was found in Liyue. The Lightning Tree will be delivered in about a month, and the Frost Tree in about a month and a half."
The head of the intelligence organization seemed to have opened his brain after his last cooperation with the alchemist. This time, in order to capture the lightning tree and the frozen tree, he recruited a lot of pharmacists and alchemists into the team. As expected, he captured two living creatures very well.
"How come they caught it so quickly this time?"
"We just didn't have experience before. We hired a lot of alchemists this time so we can better capture the living creature."
"Then you guys are awesome."
Ren Lian Lingyi chatted with the person in charge for a few more times and bought some recent information about Kanriya from them.
The head of this intelligence organization is truly a talent. He even knows all the intelligence about Kanreya. After all, the intelligence about Kanreya is not expensive.
From him, Ren Lian Lingyi also got the latest information about Kanruiya.
In recent years, the number of alchemists in Kanreya is said to have increased abnormally, so Kanreya fired many alchemists who had studied and worked in Kanreya. Not only fired, but also expelled. A large number of alchemists left Kanreya and went to Xumi.
There are also many who are wandering in other countries. The alchemist who did business with Ren Lian Lingyi last time and the alchemists temporarily hired by the intelligence organization this time were all driven out of Kanreya.
At the same time, the latest intelligence is that Kanriya is collecting myths and legends related to various countries.
After sending the person in charge away, Ren Lian Lingyi was thinking about the matter of Kanruiya.
The previous events were relatively easy to analyze. It was nothing more than Kan Ruiya manifesting the information given to them by Ren Lian Lingyi, and it seemed that quite some time had passed.
"It seems that those Kanreya people don't understand anything about strengthening the society as a whole. They just use things like [One Series of Divine Machines for All] to train knights and alchemists. Doing so will cause class imbalance... Never mind, it's none of my business." Ren Lian Lingyi shook his head with a smile. After all, he and Kanreya were hostile forces, so why were they suddenly worried about each other?
"But the other two materials are on the way. This is good news. If everything goes well, I can be promoted to a great monster before the summer festival next year."
"I'm really looking forward to the scenery after the big monster."
After Ren Lian Lingyi closed the door, he went to the testing ground to start today's research.
Research lies in the daily accumulation of little things. After a long period of accumulation, mistakes are not terrible, and going in the wrong direction is not terrible, because these are gains and are also precious wealth of Ren Lian Lingyi.
…
"Kyoko, are you going to break through to become a great youkai!?"
"Yes, I have sensed it. In about a week, I will be able to come into contact with the law of annihilation and enter the level of a great monster."
"You're so fast..."
"I have to thank you for your immortality thunder pill technique."
"Although my technique of making the Immortal Thunder Pill is not as good as yours, you are definitely not as good as me in terms of application." When she said this, Ren Lian Xingzi was also beaming with joy.
"I basically use the technique of the Longevity Thunder Pill every day to stimulate myself to become stronger. Every day I sharpen my will in the sword meditation, and polish my swordsmanship and mind. Until one stormy night two days ago..."
"What's wrong."
"I was struck by lightning."
"Uh~ you are being disrespectful to Lord Ming Shen." Ren Lian Lingyi is always good at changing the subject inadvertently.
(Voiceover: Is there anyone who could be more disrespectful to Lord Narukami than you?)
"It wasn't Lord Naruto's divine thunder, but the natural thunder and lightning. I connected to the natural thunder and lightning with my own mind, felt the thunder elemental power that brought annihilation, and then my life energy level jumped directly to LV70 (unbroken limit)." Anzi Renlian explained.
"I will contact you after I have adapted and stabilized myself for the past two days. I hope you can bring your master with you then."
"I understand, but what are you going to do after you become a great youkai?"
At present, all the great monsters in their prime who work as Inazuma have great responsibilities. Even the notoriously incompetent raccoon king Gohyukō has the responsibility to guard the entire Guardian Forest. By then, neither the shogunate nor the Narukami Taisha Shrine will allow her to continue staying in this small place like Nirujima.
"I haven't thought about it yet. We'll see when the time comes." It was a coincidence that Ren Lian Xingzi touched the lightning this time. She didn't expect that she would upgrade so quickly.
And what she didn't say was that this time she really survived because of Ren Lian Lingyi's Longevity Thunder Pill. Although she was a creature of the lightning element and had a high resistance to lightning, this was not the reason why she could survive after directing the lightning with her mind.
When she was struck by continuous lightning, she could still resist at first, but her consciousness became blurred in the end. If the Thunder Pill Technique was not passive and seemed to be catalyzed by natural lightning to provide a huge amount of energy, those lightning bolts might have really killed her.
And she was lucky, she fainted quickly, and after she fainted, her thoughts naturally disappeared. Then the natural lightning had no one to guide it, so it naturally would not target her and strike her.
She said it was consolidation, but in fact she had been healing her wounds for two days with the help of the Longevity Thunder Pill Technique.
After the thunder struck, she knew that if she succeeded, she would be promoted, and if she failed, she would die.
After she recovered from her injuries, she discovered with the help of [Evil Shadow Divine Machine] that she had reached LV70. After careful sensing, she roughly estimated the time of her promotion.
"You heard it too. What should we do now?" Ren Lian Lingyi looked behind him helplessly.
Lei Dianying appeared behind him.
"It's because you're too slow." Lei Dianying said with disdain.
"……" I thought I was good enough, but I never expected that someone would take off by using my skills, and fly earlier and faster than me. This is really a very sad story.
Ren Lian Lingyi went to do the experiment with a helpless look on his face, and planned to randomly pick someone to take his place tomorrow before Lei Dianying went to Ren Lian Island.
The next day, after Ren Lian Lingyi greeted Lord Ming Shen, he asked the third clerk to come and take over the shift in front of his devilish look.
Then, with the third clerk looking as if he had seen a ghost, he held hands with Lei Dianying and turned into lightning to go to Renlian Island - although Renlian Lingyi's flowing light escape technique was considered to be excellent among the escape techniques of the big monsters, it was far inferior to Lei Dianying's speed.
This time, Ren Lian Lingyi was just hitching a ride.
It took less than fifteen minutes to get from Minggami Island to Renren Island.
Although it is certainly not as fast as the Abyss Technology Earth Vein Teleportation of Future Travelers, nor as fast as the Statue Teleportation of the Seven Kingdoms’ rulers, this speed is considered extremely fast in the entire Inazuma.
"Long time no see, Xingzi." Ren Lian Lingyi kicked the door open despite the obstruction of the lower-level priestess and faced Ren Lian Xingzi who was practicing the Thunder Pill Technique.
"God, teacher."
"How are your preparations going?" Lei Dianying asked.
"Thank you, teacher. I'm almost ready. I think there shouldn't be any problem." said Ren Lian Xingzi.
It seemed as if the two of them were going to compete with each other to prove their martial arts skills.
Ren Lian Lingyi quickly said, "Okay, as long as Xingzi is okay, I'll go check on Slime, you two can chat."
After saying this, Ren Lian Lingyi immediately became dissatisfied. What a joke these two were. They were a good master and disciple, but for some reason, they started fighting as soon as they met. It was so not harmonious at all.
Feeling the two auras moving away from him, Ren Lian Lingyi ran faster.
"Huh~ You've grown so big now." Ren Lian Lingyi first came to the vegetable garden to study the grass slime.
Now, with the help of information from various elemental monsters, these grass slimes have successfully become elemental leaders.
That is to say, he has crossed the threshold of LV50+ and is considered a boss in the entire continent of Teyvat.
Well~ there are dozens of such bosses in Renlian Shrine, close to a hundred.
The Grass Slime obviously still remembered Ren Lian Lingyi. When he heard Ren Lian Lingyi's praise, his eyes immediately turned into a smile that represented happiness.
On the continent of Teyvat, the size and height of slimes follow certain rules.
The small slime is about 30cm high and about 40cm-50cm in diameter.
Large slimes, not counting the shields of rock and ice slimes and the flower on top of grass slimes, are about 1m tall and 1.2m-1.3m in diameter.
The grass slime in front of Ren Lian Lingyi, which had undergone a life transformation, was even bigger, 2 meters tall and 2.4 meters in diameter.
At the same time, the range and concentration of the grass elements absorbed and exhaled by this thing have also increased a lot. The most direct proof is that the vegetables next to this grass slime are obviously much larger than those in other places.
Ren Lian Lingyi also ate some tomatoes, the quality of which was not much worse than the special-grade tomatoes supplied to the shogunate.
Suddenly, Ren Lian Lingyi saw a farmer carrying a hoe.
"It's Tianweng, come over and talk."
"My humble servant greets the Lord God." Tian Weng greeted him.
This Tianweng is the best farmer on Renlian Island, and he is usually responsible for the land in the shrine.
However, there is one bad thing about this old man, which is that he likes to go to the fields when he has nothing to do. He is over 70 years old and is not at all content.
Ren Lian Lingyi and Tian Weng have been friends for several decades.
"Why are you being so polite to me? How have you been lately?" Ren Lian Lingyi asked.
"My eldest son is a team leader at the station. He studies astronomical phenomena every day. He has not been working in the fields in recent years and he doesn't listen to me when I scold him."
"On the contrary, my youngest son and grandson are more obedient, but they have only learned 40% to 50% of my skills. Sometimes they just can't learn even if I teach them with all my heart, which is really frustrating."
Tianweng is a talented farmer. His farming skills are only slightly worse than Ren Lian Lingyi's, but his talent for farming is much more terrifying than Ren Lian Lingyi's.
It was not until I was in my twenties that I met Ren Lian Lingyi, who was looking for an excellent farmer. Since then, I began to study planting and animal husbandry systematically.
After five years of study, he had already become the number one farmer in Renlian Island, and he has maintained this advantage until now.
It is said that he is preparing to calm down and write a book recently to summarize his life-long experiences.
Ren Lian Lingyi estimated that this old man would be extremely powerful, and by then his theoretical knowledge and practical abilities might be able to reach level 7.
"You guys can do whatever you want. I heard recently that you were going to write a book. How is it going?"
“It will be completed around the end of the year.”
"When the time comes, present it to the shogunate, and maybe I can give your family the title of a countryman~"
"Then I will be a samurai master by then." Tian Weng said, "But I don't think I can do it for many years. If I hadn't been nursed back to health by the shrine's pharmacists in the past few years, I would have collapsed long ago."
"By the way, who taught you to go winter swimming? Don't you see how old you are now?" Ren Lian Lingyi complained.
"It's just that you want excitement now that you're old." Tianweng said with a wry smile.
"You, you."
"Well, Weng, you go ahead and do your work that day. Xingzi and the others seem to be back. I'll go take a look."
"Hey, Lord God, please take care."
…
When Ren Lian Lingyi found Lei Dianying and Xingzi, Xingzi had already fainted.
Lei Dianying seemed very happy, excited but also a little regretful.
"You're being a little too heavy-handed."
The thunder pill technique in Ren Lian Xingzi's body has started to work, so Ren Lian Lingyi examined Ren Lian Xingzi and then complained about Lei Dianying.
"And Xingzi, get up as soon as you wake up. Your ability to pretend to be unconscious is a bit poor. Don't I know the effect of the Thunder Pill Technique?"
Renren Anzi stuck out her tongue and turned over to sit up.
Although his arms were still a little inconvenient to move, he was awake again.
According to his original physical condition and the blessing of the Thunder Pill Technique, all his injuries will probably be healed by the afternoon.
"Isn't it that there seems to be something wrong between you and my master?"
"You can see all this?" Lei Dianying was a little surprised.
"Ahem~ Aying and I have confirmed our relationship, and we plan to get married after I become a great monster. However, due to Aying's identity, we can't make it public, so you should keep your mouth shut and don't say anything."
Lei Dianying's face turned slightly red, and then he nodded, indicating that what Ren Lian Lingyi said was true, and then he took Ren Lian Lingyi's hand openly. Ren Lian Lingyi also looked at Lei Dianying with gentle eyes.
"I'm sorry, Ying, I can't give you a perfect wedding."
"It's okay, Ling Yi. You should know that I don't care about these things."
"..." At this moment, I felt like a dish that Ren Lian Lingyi once made - pickled fish. It was really sour, vegetable and redundant. Damn it, don't feed me dog food. I'm already full. Ren Lian Xingzi let out a silent roar.
The days passed by in a flash.
The day of breakthrough that Ren Lian Xingzi mentioned soon arrived. Today was a cloudy day. Early in the morning, Ren Lian Xingzi said that there was a great possibility that she would undergo a transformation today.
Then, under the escort of Lei Dianying and Ren Lian Lingyi, they arrived at the mountain of Renlian Island.
There is a pavilion built by the Renlian Shrine on the mountain. The three of them had already set up blessing arrays and protective barriers here, waiting for Renlian Anzi to touch the law.
Suddenly, Ren Lian Lingyi felt something strange sweeping across his body, making his hair stand up.
"It's started." Lei Dianying said using electromagnetic waves.
"This kind of atmosphere." Ren Lian Lingyi asked.
"You are almost there. This is the Law of Touch, a special field after the transformation of demonic power. Of course, you may be more familiar with it as a field." Lei Dianying said, "This kind of field can bless yourself or someone you recognize."
"But most people don't open such a field normally, because it is not only a certain consumption for the person who opens the field, but also a great pressure for the person who receives it. If it is not done well, it is easy to be disabled."
Ren Lian Lingyi naturally knew about the situation and nodded to show his understanding.
This field is quite similar to an ability called position that Ren Lian Lingyi had studied before. However, Ren Lian Lingyi's research failed. Although there were some results, they were very poor in actual combat.
Well, this actually has a lot to do with the fact that Ren Lian Lingyi himself is not good at fighting and is only good at kiting.
However, Ren Lian Lingyi didn't care. He had researched so many projects, and many of them failed, so he didn't care at all.
"The transformation of the demonic power is complete, and the physical body is about to begin transforming." Lei Dianying said through electromagnetic waves.
I saw cracks appearing on Renren Anzi's skin, and then purple electric light flashed under her skin.
A purple light shone through, and the clothes and pavilion were turned into powder in an instant. Ren Lian Lingyi crawled out from several hundred meters away.
"Pfft~ Fortunately I can run fast."
Lei Yingdian's helpless electromagnetic wave came, "What are you afraid of? This is just the aftermath. It has no lethality to you at all."
Ren Lian Lingyi looked towards the pavilion. Lei Dianying was sitting in mid-air in violation of the laws of physics, and Ren Lian Xingzi was also sitting in mid-air.
Ren Lian Lingyi touched his nose, feeling lucky that he didn't eat the explosive tree last night, otherwise the nosebleed would be hard to explain.
The corners of Lei Dianying's mouth twitched slightly. He glanced at the more developed pectoral muscles on Ren Lian Xingzi's chest, then looked at his own and nodded with satisfaction.
He took out a set of his own clothes from the Eye of God and put them on Ren Lian Xingzi.
Her clothes, even those she wears daily, are made of top-quality materials and have a certain resistance to the elements.
