"I, An Yi, am willing to be loyal to the An family for life and will never reveal any secrets of my family to others. If you break this oath, you will be killed on the spot!" An Yi stood up without hesitation, performed a knight's salute to An Ran, and made a vow.
Then, An Er also stood up, gave An Ran a knight's salute, and swore an oath, "I, An Er, am willing to be loyal to the An family for life and will never reveal any of our family's secrets to others. If you break this oath, you will be killed on the spot!"
An Shan, An Si... until An Shiba, everyone made a vow, and the rules of heaven and earth fell one after another in the inconspicuous little courtyard of the An family. An Ran looked at this group of people with satisfaction, and An Changcheng also showed a gratified smile on his face. These eight people finally did not let him down for the painstaking efforts of cultivating them for more than ten years!
An Ran curled up the corner of his mouth into a smile and received these eighteen people into the Nine Revolutions Space. These people had already made an oath, so he was not worried that they would rebel!
After arriving at the Nine Revolutions Space, these eighteen people did not disappoint An Ran. The surprise in their eyes flashed by, and then they returned to their expressionless look.
"I think you have a lot of questions about why I brought you into this secret space, so I won't answer them. You will know the reason later." An Ran said slowly, took out a few bottles of pills, opened them and handed them to An Yi, asking him to pass them to others, one each.
"Now I will give you some pills. Their efficacy is to make you more loyal to our An family. Do you dare to swallow them?"
An Ran looked at the eighteen people with a joking look. In this world, many big families used various means, such as poison and contracts, to force their secret guards to be loyal to their family. These were very common and a well-known secret.
After all, it concerns her own life and future freedom. An Ran wants to know which is more important, their promise or their freedom?
"We will definitely not let the young lady down!"
The eighteen people said in unison and swallowed the pills in their hands without any hesitation!
The lives of these people were originally given by An Changcheng. If it weren't for An Changcheng, they would have died ten years ago. How could they be alive until now?
An Ran was very satisfied with their loyalty. If any of them had any hesitation, An Ran would not find it strange, but he might not treat them like his own brothers in the future. Now he did not hesitate and believed in himself very decisively. An Ran was very satisfied!
"Haha, don't be afraid, everyone. These pills are good for your health and will definitely not harm you." An Ran said with a smile, "I have a crazy idea. I think our An family will experience a life-and-death duel next. Before the battle, everyone should improve their strength."
"Ah, improve strength?" One of the eighteen team members exclaimed, his face full of confusion. He could improve his strength whenever he wanted.
All eighteen of them had their eyes lit up, looking at An Ran nervously and expectantly.
"What I just gave you was a fourth-grade Spirit Gathering Pill. I estimate that after a while, your bodies will react. For the time being, you will stay here and practice until I summon you out again!"
An Ran thought about it, and a rain of flowers fell. In front of each person was a beautiful flower, and three green jade bottles were placed on the petals.
"These are the fourth-grade Spirit Gathering Pill, the fourth-grade Qi Gathering Pill, and the fourth-grade Spirit Storage Pill. Three pills for each person. From today on, you will take them according to your own conditions. Within five days, you will reach the optimal state of cultivation. I will have some instructions for you to do."
An Ran's voice was very soft and faint, but it sounded like thunder in everyone's ears, shaking them all. Their hands holding Qing Guo trembled constantly, and their eyes widened as they stared at the small jade bottle in astonishment.
What did she just say, Spirit Gathering Pill, Qi Gathering Pill, and Spirit Storage Pill?
The eighteen shadow people looked excited and eager. With a little caution in their hearts, they reached out and caressed the jade bottle, feeling extremely excited. This was a fourth-grade Spirit Gathering Pill, a pill that could instantly increase the strength of a strong man. It was precious and rare, and was worth a million gold coins.
Also, the fourth-grade Qi Gathering Pill and the fourth-grade Spirit Storage Pill!
Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded in their hearts. They could see stars flashing before their eyes, and their bodies felt light and fluttery, with a sense of unreality as if they were dreaming.
These two kinds of elixirs would be a hot commodity in any big family, not to mention that they are fourth-grade elixirs, which are of very high quality!
Was this given to them for free?
This, this, this, how is this possible?
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss! We will not let you down!" The eighteen people looked at An Ran excitedly, their eyes full of gratitude. With a thought, they took the three jade bottles in their hands and bowed deeply to An Ran. This time, they truly admired An Ran and wanted to follow him.
"Very good. Everyone, remember, these pills are what you deserve. A sword mates a hero, and pills enhance a hero. I hope that with the help of these pills, you will practice diligently, strive to improve, and soon join the ranks of the strong. Believe firmly, work hard, work hard, and work harder to become stronger, stronger, and stronger."
An Ran raised his lips to smile. This was the ultimate result he wanted. He never wanted followers who had to follow him out of gratitude. What he wanted was their willing submission!
"Strength belongs to you, to us, and to everyone. One day, our An family will stand at the pinnacle of the continent and trample underfoot those who despise us, look down on us, and even suppress us."
"From today on, everyone has only one goal, and that is to become strong..."
…
Anran was wearing a white gauze dress, with a cool temperament. Her clear eyes looked into the distance through the woods. Her little face was filled with a touching confidence and determination. With her encouragement, everyone seemed to fall into a wonderful illusion.
There is a beautiful sky in the illusion, and they are riding on the clouds. Each of them has an arrogant posture and extraordinary momentum.
They looked down at the sky, accepting the worship of the people. Just a stomp of their feet could cause the whole continent to tremble.
There, they are the masters and possess great power. That feeling is wonderful and fascinating.
After a long time, everyone woke up from their fantastic dream, and everyone's eyes were fixed on An Ran, with burning and crazy eyes, and the passion in their eyes seemed to want to burn everything.
"Become stronger, we must become stronger, Miss, we must become stronger!" Anqi's face was excited, his voice was slightly choked, and he almost trembled all over.
