Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 667: Lan Nuo Never Disappoints!

Lan Nuo, blushing, adjusted her undergarments beneath her robe.

With his ”dry mouth” cured, Ye Chen prepared to leave. The Minor Space Technique fragmentʼs rewards satisfied him. His soul, domain, and body were top-tier; no treasure in the cultivation world suited further progress. He planned to return to Heavenly Evolution Holy Land, push to the peak of First Heaven, and break through to Second Heaven.

Seven days had passed. The systemʼs cooldown was done. Ye Chen retrieved a bracelet from his small world. Made of divine beast feathers, it radiated sanctity and the grandeur of an Extreme Dao Weapon.

This Feather Transformation Divine Ring, from the Feather Transformation Divine Body, suited Lan Nuo, who didnʼt use weapons.

”Fairy Lan, you soothed my lips, so I gift this as thanks…” He presented the ring.

Lan Nuo shook her head. ”My clan prepared an Extreme Dao Weapon—the phoenix golden chariot. I donʼt need it.. I helped you willingly, no thanks needed. I enjoyed it…” Her honesty carried shy sincerity.

Ye Chen, seeing her initial innocence, smiled. ”Just an excuse. I wanted to give it to you. When I killed the Feather Transformation King Body, I got this and thought itʼd suit you, look good on you. Donʼt overthink. Itʼs just a low-grade Extreme Dao Weapon.” He gently took her hand, slipping it on.

Her face, redder than during his ”dry mouth” treatment, didnʼt resist. After, she raised her wrist, twirling it. Then tiptoed again. ”Fellow Daoist Ye, your lips look chapped…”

Her way of gratitude, undeniable. Soon, her undergarments were disheveled again. Simultaneously, the system chimed in his mind.

”Congratulations, host, gift successfully given…”

”Gift: Feather Transformation Divine Ring!”

”4,000x feedback processing.”

”Detected: Gift matches…”

”Triggered top-notch critical feedback!”

”Feedback: Immortal Artifact Ghost Face Mask!”

”Ghost Face Mask: Crafted by Devouring Female Immortal in youth after her brotherʼs tragic death, it evolved with her into an immortal artifact. She cast it into the river of time, hoping to find a flower like her brother. Its power is immense, boosting all combat aspects. It intimidates foes, shaking their spirits, and greatly enhances Indestructible Heavenly Art techniques! It strongly suppresses Indestructible Heavenly Art practitioners…”

Ye Chen was stunned. Another top-notch critical from Lan Nuo. The Ghost Face Mask surprised him. Records of Devouring Female Immortal were scarce, noting she never showed her true face, wearing a playful, half-crying, half-smiling mask. Lan Nuo triggered it!

Given the Devouring Immortalʼs legend, its power rivaled the Immortal Heavenly Blade and the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar. Lan Nuo was his lucky star, with the Devouring Heaven Jar already his; now it was the Ghost Face Mask. If he wanted, he could replace Alkaid Holy Son.

…

Ye Chen stored the Ghost Face Mask in his small world. It settled among his immortal artifacts, above the Immortal Heavenly Blade and Devouring Heaven Demon Jar, but below the bronze coffin. Its dominance was clear.

Gazing at his four immortal artifacts, unusable for now, Ye Chen felt a deep satisfaction. He opened his eyes, looking at Lan Nuo—eyes closed, fully immersed, now adept—his gaze full of approval.

Lan Nuo was incredible. Adorable and effective. Heʼd planned to leave after gifting, but his resolve wavered. He decided to stay another week. No reason—just a dry mouth!

…

Outside, though invisible, the crowd didnʼt shrink. It grew. No one thought the fight dragged on. High-level cultivators often battled for months, even years, to settle scores.

Ye Chenʼs past fights were swift, crushing. Now, over a week without a victor showed Lan Nuoʼs strength. Even if she lost, lasting this long was an honorable defeat.

Lan Clan felt worry and pride, hoping the fight would end soon.

Luo Bingling, impatient, didnʼt believe Lan Nuo could fight Ye Chen this long. Her strength was comparable—how could she last? She was certain they were entangled, like with Su Yuxuan, making a mess. It infuriated her. She shouldʼve followed.

Lan Nuo, more reserved than Su Yuxuan, wouldʼve ended it under her stare. Luo Binglingʼs frustration with Ye Chen grew. From Sword Sect to Heavenly Evolution Holy Land, out of the Immortal Path, and now during a challenge…

Ridiculous. Was it that fun?

…

Another week passed. As they parted, still connected, another cooldown ended. Seeing Lan Nuoʼs flushed face, eager for more, Ye Chen stopped her. Time to gift. And leave.

More kissing, and she might not trigger critical hits. He considered skipping Dao weapons. He had many, but quality over quantity—save them for the right person.

Searching, he found nothing fitting. So, he gave Lan Nuo a bottle of Dao Charm Pills, curious how the same gift to different people would differ in feedback.
