373: Chapter 373 Purple Mansion Holy Land, Lin Family Head—Lin Wurong!

"Hmm, this truly is spectacular and extraordinary."

Lin Ran smiled slightly.

"The Young Master is joking. Compared to other Royal Mansions, our Lin Mansion is actually quite weak."

Granny Yue said with a chuckle.

Lin Ran raised an eyebrow. "Oh? I would like to ask, are there many Royal Mansions in the Chenxin Divine Dynasty?"

Granny Yue gave a mysterious smile. "Countless!"

"Ever since Her Majesty the Empress ascended the throne, she has been particularly fond of establishing Royal Mansions."

"Those Noble Families with considerable strength in the past have all been appointed as Royal Mansions by Her Majesty the Empress in this era."

"Those prominent Sects, Schools, Divine Lands, Holy Lands, and so on, have also been converted into the scale of Royal Mansions at the request of Her Majesty the Empress."

"In the current Chenxin Divine Dynasty, there is only one Holy Land, and that is the Zifu Holy Land!"

"The Zifu Holy Land is said to be a force personally built by Her Majesty the Empress. The vast majority of the highly respected mighty beings in the Holy Land are Her Majesty's Confidants."

"And the children of those Royal Mansions must undergo a series of assessments and enter the Zifu Holy Land to Cultivate as soon as they reach the age of ten."

"Our Family Head said that the purpose of Her Majesty the Empress's actions is to stabilize absolute imperial power!"

Lin Ran nodded slightly.

This did not sound false.

The vast majority of the mighty beings in the Zifu Holy Land were the Empress's Confidants.

And for those forces forced to become Royal Mansions, if their children reached the age of ten, they had to enter the Zifu Holy Land to Cultivate.

If there were young Prodigies with outstanding natural talent, they might even find a famous teacher for guidance.

And these famous teachers were undoubtedly those highly respected mighty beings.

In other words, the powerful young Prodigies coming out of the Zifu Holy Land were very likely trained by a certain mighty being.

And that mighty being was very likely a Confidant of the Empress.

With layers of interconnected relationships, this was indeed conducive to stabilizing imperial power.

"There are even young Prodigies coming out of the Zifu Holy Land who, out of gratitude to their Revered Master, feel grateful to Her Majesty the Empress."

"Under this layered influence, they will spontaneously become Elders of the Zifu Holy Land and teach the next generation of Disciples."

"Over time, the Zifu Holy Land has become the strongest force in the entire Chenxin Divine Dynasty, with famous teachers and Elders as numerous as the stars."

"Nowadays, the children of every Royal Mansion hope to enter the Zifu Holy Land to Cultivate."

Granny Yue explained with a smile.

"I see."

Lin Ran nodded thoughtfully.

Hearing Granny Yue say this, he also made a decision in his heart.

Since the Zifu Holy Land was the strongest power in the Chenxin Divine Dynasty...

And he was currently in the Chenxin Divine Dynasty, he would naturally join the Zifu Holy Land to gain experience.

As he was thinking, a tall middle-aged man with a heroic appearance and an extraordinary bearing walked out from the depths of the Lin Mansion.

"Father!"

Lin Qingmeng was overjoyed and hurriedly ran forward, affectionately taking the man's arm.

The newcomer was the Family Head of the Lin Mansion—Lin Wurong!

"Qingmeng, it's good that you're back."

Lin Wurong smiled and rubbed the top of Lin Qingmeng's head.

Then, he turned his gaze to Lin Ran and asked curiously, "Qingmeng, who is this young man?"

An expression of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Lin Qingmeng's face.

Because of what had just happened, the relationship between her and Lin Ran had undergone a very subtle change.

Now, she didn't really want to introduce Lin Ran to her father, nor did she know how to speak.

Seeing this scene, Granny Yue quickly stepped forward and said, "Family Head, this Young Master is our savior!"

Lin Wurong raised an eyebrow and said, "What happened? Tell me quickly!"

Granny Yue then described the whole sequence of events in detail.

"Hmph! What a bunch of Sand Bandits! To think they dared to lay a hand on my, Lin Wurong's, daughter!"

"However, they won't be arrogant for much longer!"

"I heard that Her Majesty the Empress is preparing to deal with the Sand Bandits!"

"Those Sand Bandits won't be free for long; they will surely be destroyed!!"

Lin Wurong was furious, his voice filled with Killing Intent.

"Father, don't get angry over those Sand Bandits; it's not worth it."

"After all, your daughter came back alive, didn't she?"

Lin Qingmeng comforted him gently.

Lin Wurong nodded slightly, then looked at Lin Ran with a face full of smiles and said warmly, "Regarding the matter of the Sand Bandits, I truly thank you, little friend."

"If not for your help, I'm afraid my only precious daughter would have lost her life in the Koumo Desert."

"In the future, in this Chenxin Divine Dynasty, as long as you have a request and our Lin Mansion can help, feel free to ask me. My Lin Mansion will naturally do its best!"

His words were not only to thank Lin Ran but also to establish a connection with him.

Imagine, a young Prodigy with a cultivation of Divine Fire Realm Ninth Heaven who could kill two experts of the Heavenly Palace Realm Seventh Heaven.

With such strength and talent, his future achievements were likely unpredictable!

Starting to invest now was undoubtedly the best choice.

"Family Head Lin is too polite, but this Junior does indeed have one matter I would like to ask Family Head Lin's help with."

Lin Ran smiled and cupped his fists.

"Little friend, please speak. As long as it is something our Lin Mansion can do, we will naturally do it for you!"

Lin Wurong said righteously.

"Family Head Lin, what I want to know is, how should I join the Zifu Holy Land?"

Lin Ran asked with a smile.

"Hmm... To join the Zifu Holy Land, I believe that with your talent, little friend, it certainly won't be too difficult."

"Counting the time, the Recruitment Ceremony for the Zifu Holy Land is in five days. You've arrived just in time."

"How about this, I will send servants to take you to the Zifu Holy Land now, how does that sound?"

Lin Wurong pondered.

"Good, then I will trouble Family Head Lin."

Lin Ran smiled and thanked him, took a deep look at Lin Qingmeng, and then turned to leave.

Lin Wurong then dispatched several Lin Mansion servants to follow Lin Ran and lead him to the Zifu Holy Land.

It really wouldn't do to not go early.

In this land of the Chenxin Divine Dynasty where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, the Lin Mansion was only a third-rate Royal Mansion and could only be located on the outskirts.

The Zifu Holy Land was the strongest force in the Chenxin Divine Dynasty, located deep within the dynasty, closest to the Imperial Palace.

The distance between the Lin Mansion and the Zifu Holy Land was much greater than the distance from the city gate of the Chenxin Divine Dynasty to the Lin Mansion.

However, fortunately, Lin Wurong took this matter very seriously. He gave up his own carriage to Lin Ran and let him ride it to the Zifu Holy Land.

This carriage was pulled by an Ink Qilin of the Tianshu Divine Realm. Its speed was many times faster than Lin Ran traveling on his own!

With this carriage, it probably wouldn't take long to travel from the Lin Mansion to the Zifu Holy Land.
