An Lin was quite touched to see Xiao Hong voluntarily making her way over to him.
He continued, “The spirit pills and spirit fruits are just appetizers. The main course is coming up next.”
All those spirit pills and spirit fruits were only an appetizer?
There was still a main course to come?
All the beast pets’ breathing speed accelerated when they heard this.
“Firstly, for Tina, you can keep that Heart Lotus Ice Sword. Also, take this Sacred Ice Lotus as well. If you nurture the Heart Lotus Ice Sword with the Sacred Ice Lotus, there is a chance for it to evolve into a higher rank.” An Lin brought out a lotus that was emanating a holy aura before handing it to Tina.
Tina was extremely touched as she accepted the Sacred Ice Lotus. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was a little self-conscious with so many beast pets around, she would have definitely given An Lin a huge hug.
“Next up is Xue Zhantian. These three eighth-grade immortal fruits are Red Ice Immortal Fruits. They are for you. They will be perfect for strengthening your body as well as to help you observe the Dao of ice. You are already at the pinnacle of the Soul Formation Stage, so you should follow in Little Lang’s example and break through to Return to Void Stage as soon as possible!” An Lin pulled out three red immortal fruits that were glowing with a red and white light.
“Don’t worry, Master! I’ll be sure to improve myself and make a drastic transformation!” Xue Zhantian drooled as he stared intently at the immortal fruits.
An Lin nodded before turning to Da Bai and producing a bronze shield from his storage ring.
“Da Bai, this is Shield of Promised Victory, an ancient artifact that is the epitome of conviction and victory. It possesses very powerful protective abilities that could save your life in your time of need.”
Da Bai faltered slightly upon hearing this. “What about you, Big Brother An? Woof!”
An Lin replied with a smile, “I have Heavenly Ice Silk Garment, which is also a protective immortal tool, so you can take this one!”
He actually had another thought in mind. Da Bai’s cultivation base was still quite low, so in order to keep him safe, it was best to fortify his defense rather than his offensive prowess.
Da Bai was very moved as he accepted the ancient artifact.
An Lin then pulled out a twisted golden object. This was something he had obtained from the ancient battleground of the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas. “This is the Vajra Spirit. Little Lang, take this and fuse it into your own body to strengthen your body and fortify your cultivation base…”
The White Scale Wolf God accepted the Vajra Spirit with elation on his face. He was clearly just a slave, but An Lin treated him like he was a beast pet. This evoked a strong sense of belonging in his heart.
An Lin turned to Xiao Chou after that and produced a suit of black armor as well as a semi-transparent bone. “Xiao Chou, this is a suit of Black Crystal Armor. It can be fused into your armor for a chance to evolve into an immortal tool. This is an Ethereal Spirit Bone, which can greatly improve your bone density and strength when absorbed.”
He was initially planning to use the Ethereal Spirit Bone for himself, but now that he had the body of the War God, it seemed a little redundant, so it was perfect for Xiao Chou.
Xiao Chou had been quite depressed this whole afternoon, but a joyful smile finally appeared on his face upon receiving these two items.
Each and every one of the items An Lin gave away was extremely valuable and also quite suitable for his beast pets’ individual needs. This wasn’t a coincidence; it was simply because An Lin had too many treasures…
Hence, it was easy to pick items that were suitable for each of his beast pets.
Lastly, An Lin turned to Xiao Hong. After a momentary pause, he produced a longsword from his storage ring.
The longsword was entirely golden in color. It was a very soft and warm golden hue, and a miniature Golden Crow revolved around the blade of the sword as it appeared in An Lin’s hand. The power of fire and ice circulated through the blade of the sword, giving it a sense of balance and harmony.
“This is Divine Sun Sword, an intermediate-rank immortal tool. It was crafted from the Icy Dao-Observation Stones, which are found in the habitat of the Golden Crow, an ancient divine beast. The sword combines the power of yin and yang and perfectly complements the Golden Crow Purple Star inheritance that you received.”
This was an immortal tool that An Lin had taken from the snow maiden Rou Gu. It could be wielded by both ice-type and fire-type cultivators, but it was clearly a perfect match for Xiao Hong, who cultivated in the Dao of the Golden Crow.
All the beast pets involuntarily swallowed as they stared at the immortal sword with scorching desires in their eyes.
It was obvious that this present was the most valuable one so far!
This was an intermediate-rank immortal tool… Even Dao Integration Stage True Gods would probably be unable to give one away so easily…
This was also after he had just gifted an elementary-rank immortal tool to Tina…
Perhaps only a super tycoon like their master was capable of giving away so many valuable presents in quick succession.
“Master, this is far too valuable. I, I feel like I can get by without a weapon…” Xiao Hong stuttered hesitantly.
“I have no use for it anyway. Just do as you’re told and take it,” An Lin insisted with a serious expression. “After all, just holding the sword will be beneficial as it was crafted from the Icy Dao-Observation Stones that are found in the habitat of the Golden Crow. Perhaps just holding it will help you attain enlightenment!”
Xiao Hong raised her red flowery head as droplets of dew appeared on her petals.
She nodded firmly before replying in a sweet voice, “Alright! Thank you, Master!”
An Lin clapped his hands as he smiled. “Alright, that’s everything for now. Tell me if you need anything else. Even if I don’t have it in my storage ring, I can buy it for you. I’m certainly not short on money!”
His words instantly evoked emotions of excitement in the hearts of his beast pets.
It didn’t matter whether their master had money or not; it was much more important to the beast pets that their master was willing to spend money on them.
“Long live, Big Brother An, woof!” Da Bai raised his paws high into the air as he whooped in celebration.
“Long live, Master!” Little Lang chimed in.
Xue Zhantian, Xiao Chou, Tina, and Xiao Hong also echoed their cries, and a chorus of joyful cries reverberated throughout the dorm room.
An Lin looked at his joyful beast pets with a smile on his face as a sense of accomplishment welled up in his heart.
“Um… Master, do I get anything?” Xiao Ze tugged on An Lin’s clothes as he looked up at An Lin with a miserable expression.
An Lin’s expression faltered. F*ck! He had forgotten about him!
“Haha… of course you do. I’ve saved the best for last…” An Lin laughed.
“Really?” Xiao Ze’s eyes lit up with anticipation.
An Lin nodded as he racked his brains.
What present should he give him?
Xiao Ze was a mighty figure at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage, and he was a Primordial Dragon Tribe cultivator on top of that, so he would have seen countless treasures. As such, it was quite difficult to find a suitable present for him…
The Regal Crown? No, no, no, he had to keep this flexing tool for himself.
Divine Flame Bead? No way, this was a present from Xiaolan.
Heavenly Frost Shard? The members of the Dragon Tribe weren’t really a good match for ice-type weapons…
The light in Xiao Ze’s eyes slowly died down as he looked at An Lin’s hesitant expression. “Master, have you still not decided…”
“Of course I have!” An Lin waved his hand as his storage ring flashed.
Immediately afterward, a huge immortal eel appeared before everyone. This was only a dead carcass, but the fearsome Return to Void Stage energy fluctuations emanating from its body made everyone draw a sharp intake of breath.
“This is for you!” An Lin said.
Xiao Ze’s lips twitched. “Master, didn’t you get this immortal eel carcass from my treasure vault…”
It felt weird that he was being gifted with something that had once belonged to him…
An Lin chuckled as a frying pan appeared from his storage ring.
“I’m not giving it to you right away. Master is going to personally cook a meal for you!”
Xiao Ze’s body trembled as he stared blankly at An Lin.
He suddenly had a strong sense of home and belonging as he stared at An Lin’s warm smile…
He had no family nor any friends, but his master was going to stay with him no matter what!
All the beast pets also stirred upon hearing this. Da Bai and Little Lang in particular already had drool dripping from their mouths.
This was a heavenly combination…
The carcass of the Return to Void Stage immortal eel was an extraordinary ingredient already. Add to that the flavor-enhancement effect of the frying pan…
That night, all the beast pets had a super delicious feast!
As for Xiao Ze, tears immediately began flowing from his eyes after taking the first bite. This was the most delicious thing he had eaten in tens of thousands of years!
A joyful smile appeared on An Lin’s face to mirror the expression on his beast pets’ faces.
He really missed this kind of lifestyle.
