199: Lu Yuan bestows treasures, a prodigy from the holy land!

The flames of hope instantly ignited in Xiao Fan's eyes. "Where is it? Even if I have to climb mountains of blades or plunge into seas of fire, I must find it for Mother!"

"How coincidental."

Lu Yuan pointed out the window. "At noon today, the Myriad Dragon Nest in the Central Region will open. It is rumored that a stalk of true dragon undying medicine is within it."

"Only..."

Lu Yuan paused, looking troubled. "The Myriad Dragon Nest has a special Restriction that only allows Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators to enter. Although my cultivation is profound, I cannot force my way in."

"Foundation Establishment Stage?!"

Hearing this, Xiao Fan was not shocked but delighted. He stood up abruptly, thumping his chest. "Uncle Lu! Let me go!"

"I am currently at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection! Moreover, I possess the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body—I am invincible among my peers!"

"As long as the undying medicine is in there, I will definitely bring it back for Mother!"

This was simply a god-given opportunity!

He could save his mother and prove his worth to her at the same time!

"This..."

Lu Yuan looked toward Qin Mengyao with feigned hesitation.

Qin Mengyao nodded weakly. "Since Fan'er has such filial piety... let him go."

"However, the Myriad Dragon Nest is fraught with danger. Fan'er, you must be careful."

"Don't worry, Mother! Your child will certainly not fail his mission!" Xiao Fan promised solemnly.

"Good!"

Lu Yuan stood up and took out two items from his Storage Ring.

One was a crimson-red Medicinal Pill emitting a violent fire-attribute Aura, and the other was a small pitch-black banner, chilling with Yin Qi.

"Since you are going, as your elder, I cannot let you go empty-handed."

"This explosive flame pill is a fourth-grade peak-tier pill. If taken at a critical moment, it can burn your Essence Blood, instantly tripling your combat power for half an hour!"

"This Blood Soul Banner is a forbidden ancient treasure. It can devour the flesh and Souls of enemies to nourish itself, making you fight more courageously and briefly granting you power beyond Foundation Establishment!"

"Take them and come back alive."

Lu Yuan handed the two treasures to Xiao Fan with a solemn expression.

"This..."

Xiao Fan took the treasures, but his heart shuddered.

In his Sea of Consciousness, Venerable Yao's voice immediately rang out: "Fan'er! Careful! This man named Lu harbors ill intentions!"

"Although that explosive flame pill can increase combat power, the side effects are immense. Once the effect wears off, your Meridians will be completely severed, and your Foundation might even be damaged!"

"And that Blood Soul Banner is a Demonic Path evil object! Using it too much will cause you to lose your mind and become a Devil Head who only knows slaughter!"

"He is pushing you into a pit of fire!"

Hearing Old Yao's words, Xiao Fan's heart went cold, and his hands holding the treasures trembled slightly.

As expected!

This Lu Yuan was a hypocrite! He treated him well on the surface, but in reality, he wanted him dead!

But... he glanced at his mother lying on the couch, her face as pale as paper.

"Thank you for the treasures, Uncle Lu!"

Xiao Fan gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "I... will certainly keep this in mind!"

For his mother's sake, even if it was poison, he had to swallow it!

"Mhm, go then."

Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction. "I will send you on your way."

He waved his large sleeve.

*Riiiiip!*

The power of the Great Dao of Space surged, and a spatial tunnel leading directly to the Myriad Dragon Nest formed instantly.

"Go!"

Xiao Fan felt his vision blur, and his entire being was swept into the Void Realm... In the Central Region, outside the Myriad Dragon Nest.

The void cracked open, and Xiao Fan's figure tumbled out wretchedly.

He steadied himself and looked back at the slowly closing spatial rift, a deep sense of wariness and yearning flashing in his eyes.

"Is this the capability of a Mahayana Cultivator?"

"Tearing the void, traveling a million miles in an instant..."

"One day, I will also reach this Realm! I will even surpass him!"

Xiao Fan took a deep breath and turned to look ahead.

He saw a massive dragon-shaped mountain range stretching across the land, exuding an ancient and vast dragon pressure.

At the entrance of the mountain range was a giant dragon head with its mouth wide open, as if it were about to devour heaven and earth.

The Myriad Dragon Nest!

At this time, many Cultivators had already gathered at the entrance, most of whom were Foundation Establishment Stage prodigies from various forces.

Xiao Fan did not hesitate; his figure flashed as he rushed into the dragon's mouth... And after Xiao Fan entered.

Lu Yuan's figure also silently appeared in the clouds above the Myriad Dragon Nest.

He did not enter the Myriad Dragon Nest, but instead cast his gaze toward a spatial node to the southeast.

"Golden Eyes of Truth."

In his vision, a small independent world was hidden there.

"The True Dragon Clan's old nest?"

The corners of Lu Yuan's mouth curled slightly. "Early Stage Mahayana? Perfect, my Qingyun Dao Sect is still lacking a sect-protecting Divine Beast."

His figure vanished, heading straight for that Small World... Inside the Myriad Dragon Nest.

Xiao Fan sped along the way.

"Teacher, where are we going?"

"Don't be in a hurry." Venerable Yao sensed for a moment. "Within this Myriad Dragon Nest, there is a place of providence called the 'Dragon Transformation Pool'."

"Not only can it refine one's Bloodline, but it is also the place where the true dragon undying medicine grows."

"We will go there first! As long as you can receive the baptism of the Dragon Transformation Pool, your Ancient Desolate Sacred Body will surely take a step further!"

"Good!"

A sharp glint flashed in Xiao Fan's eyes.

Under Venerable Yao's guidance, and with the route map he had requested from the Heavenly Secret Master, Xiao Fan avoided various dangers and killing formations along the way, heading straight for the core area.

Half a day later.

Amidst a dense immortal mist, a golden pool about a hundred feet wide appeared before Xiao Fan's eyes.

The pool water was golden-yellow, as thick as mercury, and emitted a dense Dragon Qi and medicinal fragrance.

Dragon Transformation Pool!

However.

When Xiao Fan arrived, he found that the place had already been occupied.

Three figures with extraordinary Auras were sitting cross-legged around the Dragon Transformation Pool in a triangular formation, keeping each other in check.

On the left was a beautiful woman in a fiery red dress, surrounded by the phantom of a Divine Phoenix, noble and cold.

Goddess of the Longevity Li Family—Li Qingyue! Heavenly Phoenix Body!

On the right was a person in clothes as white as snow, carrying an ancient sword on their back, their body overflowing with Sword Intent.

Saint of the Dayan Holy Land—Ye Chen! Innate Sword Physique!

In the center was a person wearing purple-gold battle armor, looking dignified and heroic, with an emperor's phantom faintly appearing behind them.

Godson of the Longevity Jiang Family—Jiang Qingxuan! Human King Physique!

These three were all top-tier prodigies of the younger generation in the Central Region, each possessing terrifying combat power capable of crushing those in the same Realm.

At this moment, the three seemed to have formed an alliance and reached some kind of agreement.

"Hmm? Another one?"

Sensing Xiao Fan's arrival, the three turned their heads simultaneously, their gazes shooting over like lightning.

When they saw that Xiao Fan was only at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection and was not a well-known Godson from any major Holy Land, a flash of contempt appeared in their eyes.

"Where did this wild brat come from? This is not a place you can come to. Scram!"

Jiang Qingxuan's personality was the most domineering; he shouted coldly, and his Human King pressure swept out.

Xiao Fan's brow furrowed, and anger rose in his heart.

"This Dragon Transformation Pool is an ownerless object. Everyone who sees it has a share. On what basis are you telling me to scram?"

He was neither humble nor arrogant as he straightened his back.

"On what basis?"

Ye Chen sneered, lightly flicking the scabbard of his sword. "On the basis that we are the descendants of Longevity Families and Immortal Holy Lands! And you are nothing but a nameless nobody!"
