387: Chapter 387 The woman who defeated Fairy Nine Lotuses selects disciples.

"Lin Ran, once the ultimate victors of the other two training grounds are determined, Her Majesty the Empress will grace us with her presence and bestow the immortal seed of core shedding upon the three of you."

The Green-robed Elder said.

Lin Ran nodded slightly.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully completing the Heavenly Mandate Mission!]

[Reward: 100,000 destiny points, Awakening of the 'Defend' Glyph from the Twelve Secret Glyphs!]

The 'Defend' Glyph of the Twelve Secret Glyphs—judging by its name, it was clearly a defensive Divine Ability.

It could utilize the Strange Way Source to devour the Divine Might of all methods in the world, thereby achieving the goal of protecting oneself.

Currently, Lin Ran had awakened three of the Twelve Secret Glyphs, leaving nine remaining glyphs waiting for him to awaken and develop.

However, he was in no hurry.

The Twelve Secret Glyphs were profound and unpredictable, containing vast and infinite mysteries.

Awakening them was not something that could be achieved overnight.

In the training grounds for the Divine Fire Realm camp, after the ultimate assessment was completed, the other two training grounds also began their ultimate assessments one after another.

To Lin Ran's surprise, the one who took the top spot in the ultimate assessment for the Divine Bridge Realm camp was actually Chen Mu, who had acted familiar with him earlier!

And what surprised him even more was that Fairy Jiulian had actually failed to take the top spot in the ultimate assessment!

The one who defeated Fairy Jiulian was also a woman.

The woman looked as if she had walked out of a fairyland, draped in a cold ice-crystal robe that seemed to freeze the entire world within it.

The robe fit her slender body perfectly, outlining her graceful silhouette and exuding a noble and mysterious Aura.

On that exquisitely beautiful face, her lips burned like fire, vivid and lush.

Her eyes were as deep as an icy spring in a cold pool, crystal clear yet carrying a hint of chill.

She had a graceful figure, with long, straight, slender legs and a waist so thin it could be held in one hand. Her high-peaked chest and rounded hips formed a beautiful curve.

Lin Ran noticed this woman; she seemed to be of the Phoenix Clan.

Fairy Jiulian was also of the Phoenix Clan.

The Auras of these two were somewhat of the same origin.

Lin Ran immediately guessed that perhaps there was some connection between the two.

Swish, swish, swish...

Just then!

Figures flew out from the shadows one by one, stepping into the Void Realm. Each possessed a powerful Aura, as dazzling and eye-catching as a series of blazing suns.

Their appearance immediately attracted the gazes of countless young Prodigies.

These were none other than the Elders of the Zifu Holy Land!

Many of them were even ranked on the elder list, true powerhouses!

And the vast majority of these powerhouses had been drawn here by Lin Ran!

It couldn't be helped; the four Special Physiques Lin Ran had awakened were either the Great Dao Immortal Body or top-tier Immortal Bodies, including the Destiny Immortal Body, which was hailed as the number one Special Physique in the world.

Which Elder wouldn't want to take such a Prodigy under their wing?!

The Elders gathered together, and the young Prodigies of the Divine Fire Realm, Divine Bridge Realm, and Heavenly Palace Realm also converged at this moment.

"Brother Lin, this is a long-standing tradition after the Zifu Holy Land holds its Recruitment Ceremony."

"After joining the Zifu Holy Land, one can choose an Elder to join their lineage and Cultivate."

"Or rather, be chosen by an Elder to enter their lineage for Cultivation."

"But with your talent, you should be the one picking the Elder."

Chen Mu walked over with a smile, putting an arm around Lin Ran's shoulder.

"So that's how it is."

Lin Ran nodded with a look of realization.

These Elders who suddenly appeared were likely here for him.

After all, he could feel countless burning gazes focused on him!

"Lin Ran, I am ranked thirty-second on the elder list. Are you willing to join my lineage to Cultivate?"

An old man with the air of a transcendent being, his eyes glowing with golden light as if he could pierce through all the emptiness in the world, stepped forward and spoke with a smile.

"Brother Lin, this Elder's Dao title is Golden-Eyed Divine Lord."

"Rumor has it he practices a Rank six Divine Method Cultivation Technique. Once practiced to Perfection, one can develop the Golden Eyes of Truth-Seeking, which are said to perceive all falsehoods in the world. It is very powerful!"

Chen Mu explained.

"A Rank six Divine Method, the Golden Eyes of Truth-Seeking?"

Lin Ran shook his head slightly.

No matter how strong the Golden Eyes of Truth-Seeking were, could they be stronger than his Yin-Yang Innate Dao Eyes?

Even if he practiced this Rank six Divine Method, it would be nothing more than a redundant skill of little use.

He immediately declined the Elder's kindness. A flash of disappointment appeared on the latter's face, but he did not press further.

After all, a peerless Prodigy like Lin Ran was rare and sought after; he hadn't expected Lin Ran to join him from the start, he just wanted to give it a try.

"Li Guang, is this how you invite Lin Ran? No wonder he refused."

At this moment, a beautiful woman with peach-blossom eyes and a charming, soul-stirring gaze walked out, mockingly laughing at Li Guang.

"Lin Ran, I am ranked fourteenth on the elder list. As long as you join me, I will pour all the resources I have into you!"

"With me, you can be the blazing sun in the sky or the hanging moon!"

The beautiful woman looked at Lin Ran with a beaming smile.

"Why aren't you explaining this time?"

Lin Ran didn't answer the woman for the moment, but instead turned to look at Chen Mu.

Chen Mu gave an awkward cough and said somewhat hesitantly, "This... er... how should I put it?"

"Being ranked fourteenth on the elder list means this Elder's strength is indeed noteworthy."

"However, I've heard that this Elder teaches Dual Cultivation Techniques to her Disciples. In the past, all the Disciples she took in were female; there hasn't been a single male Disciple."

"Today, she's unexpectedly wanting to take you as a Disciple. I think she wants to... cough cough!"

"I won't say more on such things; it's better understood than spoken."

Lin Ran's mouth hung open, speechlessly.

Hearing Chen Mu's words, he understood instantly. This woman didn't want him to join her lineage; she clearly wanted him to join her in bed!

The two meanings were worlds apart!

"Uh, haha, thank you for your kindness, Elder, but this Junior would like to see what other Elders have in mind."

Lin Ran gave an awkward smile and declined the beautiful woman's offer.

"Sigh, what a pity."

The beautiful woman shook her head in great disappointment, a hint of self-doubt in her eyes.

Could it be that she lacked charm, such that she couldn't even attract Lin Ran?!

"Ha! Wang Feng, it seems your methods aren't all that either!"

Golden-Eyed Divine Lord sneered.

"What's it to you? Scram!"

The beautiful woman's face darkened, and she cursed without looking back, turning instead to pick other Disciples.

Golden-Eyed Divine Lord snorted coldly.

"Lin Ran, join my lineage, and I can train you to become the number one young Prodigy on the dragon list!"

At that moment, a figure with a magnificent and grand Aura descended from the sky, followed by a group of Disciples.
