18: Chapter 18 "Shearing the wool, Master, you shall come with me to the Dragon Phoenix Mountains!"

The Prison Dragon Demon Clan is a hegemon-level power in Youzhou and one of the hostile forces of the Feixian Sect.

Now that nine supreme grade spirit veins have appeared in the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range at the border of Yunzhou and Youzhou, neither side will easily give up this piece of fat meat.

But...

A full-scale war between the two sides would have too great an impact, potentially affecting the entire Zhangming Emperor Realm.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Feixian Sect and the Prison Dragon Demon Clan decided to let the younger generation compete for them.

Coincidentally, there are nine supreme grade spirit veins in the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range, so they chose nine young talents at the Dao Integration Realm to compete.

The winner gets to claim a supreme grade spirit vein.

The loser not only fails to obtain a supreme grade spirit vein but might even have to pay with their life as the price!

After all, the Feixian Sect and the Prison Dragon Demon Clan are mortal enemies; there is no such thing as showing mercy.

If they can kill the other side's Prodigy, no one will hold back!

"As far as I know, the nine individuals the Prison Dragon Demon Clan is sending out this time are their clan's Quasi-Nine Sons."

"Each of these nine sons possesses startling talent and formidable strength; they are quite extraordinary."

"Little Ranran, you must be careful."

Yan Ruyu pinched Lin Ran's cheek, her tone filled with worry.

"It seems Martial Aunt has already assumed I'll be fighting on behalf of the Sect."

Lin Ran gave a helpless smile.

"Otherwise? You possess the Destiny Immortal Body and are at the Dao Integration Realm. You are the most suitable person to fight for the supreme grade spirit veins for the Sect."

"Besides, you are the True Disciple of Yin Yang Peak. Shouldn't you make some contributions to the Sect?"

Yan Ruyu chuckled, her hands kneading Lin Ran's cheeks into various shapes.

Seeing this, Su Xiyue's eyelids twitched as she stood to the side, sulking privately.

With so many people around, it wasn't appropriate for her to show her anger openly.

Otherwise, her 'affair' with Lin Ran might be discovered by Yan Ruyu.

She didn't want Yan Ruyu pestering her and asking questions in her ear all day long.

Lin Ran glanced at Li Zhenwu and the other seven young Prodigies, saying, "These are all Prodigies from the other peaks, right?"

"Correct. These eight come from the eight great peaks. This is Li Zhenwu, the Prodigy of my Destiny Peak."

"This is Mo Shuang, the Prodigy of Time Peak."

"This is Zou Long, the Prodigy of Karma Peak."

"This is..."

Yan Ruyu introduced the group of Prodigies to Lin Ran one by one.

Facing Lin Ran, Li Zhenwu and the others didn't dare to be arrogant. They cupped their fists respectfully and said, "Greetings, True Disciple Lin."

As the True Disciple of Yin Yang Peak, Lin Ran's status and position were a level above theirs.

Furthermore, with his Destiny Immortal Body, he had instantly become a highly sought-after treasure of the Feixian Sect.

How could they dare be disrespectful to Lin Ran?

They had even anticipated that Lin Ran might become the Saint of this generation for the Feixian Sect...

[Ding! Detected that the Host has triggered a new Heavenly Mandate Mission. Please make the following choice!]

[Option One: I'll play blind while the Sect hunts for treasure and play deaf while the Sect gets beaten! With this time, I'd rather spend more time with Master Baby~]

[Mission: Refuse to go to the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range!]

[Reward: 10,000 destiny points, Master-Pampering Aura +1!]

[Option Two: As the True Disciple of Yin Yang Peak and the future Saint of the Feixian Sect, it is my generation's duty to restore the Sect's prestige!]

[Mission: Agree to fight for the Sect and head to the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range!]

[Reward: 10,000 destiny points, vein seeking talisman!]

Lin Ran looked at these two options, pondered for a moment, and then chose Option Two.

Although he didn't know what use the vein seeking talisman had yet, it was definitely related to the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range.

Perhaps once he arrived at the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range, he would know the use of the vein seeking talisman.

"Alright, it's no problem for me to fight for the Sect and seize the supreme grade spirit veins."

"However, I also have a condition that I hope the Sect Master can agree to."

Lin Ran's eyes darted around mischievously as he spoke.

"Lin Ran, tell me first, what is the request?"

Nan Feng smiled with a gentle aura.

"Each of the nine peaks of the Feixian Sect has its own Treasure Pavilion."

"But as far as I know, the Sect also has a Supreme Treasure Pavilion, which houses rare and precious treasures!"

"I want to go to the Supreme Treasure Pavilion and pick one treasure as my reward for this trip. How about it?"

Lin Ran chuckled.

He didn't just want to reap rewards from the System; he wanted to reap them from the Sect as well.

As the saying goes, pluck feathers from a passing goose and skin a passing beast.

If they wanted him to work hard, fine, but they had to provide enough emotional value!

"I didn't expect you to set your sights on the Sect itself."

Nan Feng shook his head slightly and spoke with a smile.

"However, that is naturally not a problem. All nine of you can enter the Supreme Treasure Pavilion and pick one treasure each as your reward for this trip."

As long as they could seize the nine supreme grade spirit veins, it wouldn't be much of a loss even if Lin Ran and the other eight chose nine treasures from the Supreme Treasure Pavilion.

Besides, weren't the treasures in the Supreme Treasure Pavilion meant to motivate the Sect's Disciples?

"Haha! Then I'll thank the Sect Master in advance!"

Lin Ran laughed out loud.

Li Zhenwu and the others also looked at Lin Ran with gratitude.

They were essentially riding on Lin Ran's coattails, being able to enter the Supreme Treasure Pavilion to pick a treasure.

If Lin Ran hadn't mentioned it, entering the Supreme Treasure Pavilion even once would have been incredibly difficult.

"Thank you, Sect Master! Thank you, True Disciple Lin!"

Mo Shuang first cupped her fists respectfully toward Nan Feng, then cast a flirtatious wink at Lin Ran.

"Little fox spirit!"

Seeing this, Yan Ruyu and Su Xiyue both cursed softly in their hearts.

"Rebellious Disciple, I won't be coming with you on this trip to Dragon Phoenix. You must be careful on your own."

Su Xiyue said indifferently, though she was secretly delighted.

Once her Rebellious Disciple left, her good days would begin!

Once she recovered her cultivation, she would see how that Rebellious Disciple could still suppress her!

At that time, she would have the final say over everything in the residence!

She wasn't worried about her Rebellious Disciple's safety at all. After all, Lin Ran had revealed his Destiny Immortal Body, and the Feixian Sect would certainly not stand by and watch Lin Ran die.

To put it another way, even if everyone else died on this trip to the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range, Lin Ran would definitely not!

"Revered Master, I've been by your side for so many years. This is my first time traveling far away. I really... I really can't bear to be separated from you!"

"How about... Revered Master, you come with me to the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range?"

"As the saying goes, when Revered Master follows, the Nine Sons are hollow! If I have Revered Master with me, I might be able to exert 200% of my strength. Those mere Quasi-Nine Sons of the Prison Dragon Demon Clan would be even less of a concern!"

Lin Ran ran behind Su Xiyue and began massaging her shoulders with a fawning expression and a forced smile.

He had almost forgotten about Su Xiyue. If he went to the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range and left no one to suppress her, wouldn't her cultivation skyrocket?

By the time he returned, wouldn't the sky have fallen?!
