462: Chapter 462 The God-Slaying Bracelet, the Situation in the Forbidden Land

The place Senior Qin Yu led Lin Ran and the others to was none other than the Star-Plucking Tower of their Green Dragon God Clan.

The Star-Plucking Tower was the place where the Green Dragon God Clan stored their precious treasures.

Senior Qin Yu's intention in coming here was very clear. Their Green Dragon God Clan was not a stingy clan. Since Lin Ran and the others had helped them slay the traitor and bring back the Clan Suppressing Scripture, he naturally would not treat Lin Ran and his group unfairly.

"My young friends, this tower holds many of our clan's treasures. If you see anything you like, feel free to choose one."

Senior Qin Yu flicked his sleeve lightly and said with a faint smile.

"Then many thanks, Senior Qin Yu."

Lin Ran smiled and cupped his fists in salute.

He understood the principle of not refusing a polite gesture; if he kept declining Senior Qin Yu's kindness and deliberately acted as if he had no desires, it would only make the other party suspicious.

As one of the three great clans standing in a tripod formation within the Shentao Secret Realm, the Green Dragon God Clan's foundation was deep, not much inferior to some first-class or top-tier powers in the outside world.

Upon entering the Star-Plucking Tower, Lin Ran was met with a dazzling array of rare treasures, with various brilliant lights flickering, making one's eyes spin.

Lin Ran activated his Yin-Yang Immortal Body and unleashed his Yin-Yang Innate Dao Eyes, peering into the treasures arranged in rows.

"Five-Splendor Mirror?"

He picked up a mirror at random. Under the insight of his Yin-Yang Innate Dao Eyes, he perceived the mysteries of this ancient mirror.

Within this ancient mirror, five mountains of canopies had been refined.

When fighting, one only needed to inject magic power into it to summon these five mountains of canopies, thereby suppressing and killing enemies. It was a decent killing Divine Artifact, with a quality of a four-star High Grade Treasure Artifact.

"Rather than relying on the mountains of canopies to suppress and kill enemies, it would be better to rely on the power of my Physical Body."

"Moreover, this Five-Splendor Mirror is only a four-star High Grade Treasure Artifact. It shouldn't be useful to me for too long, so choosing it is truly inappropriate."

Lin Ran shook his head and put the Five-Splendor Mirror back down.

He continued to look at other treasures, but none of them caught his eye.

At this moment, Yu Xin suddenly appeared behind him, reached out to tug on his sleeve, and then pointed forward.

Lin Ran looked in the direction Yu Xin was pointing and saw a dark black bracelet that was somewhat battered all over and covered in a layer of dust.

"Yu Xin, you mean... this bracelet is quite extraordinary?"

Lin Ran asked tentatively.

Yu Xin nodded heavily and gestured with her hand.

"You mean... this bracelet gives you a deep sense of palpitation, making even your Divine Soul feel very afraid?"

Lin Ran continued to translate.

Perhaps because he had watched Yu Xi translate Yu Xin's meaning for so long, he was gradually able to slightly understand what Yu Xin's gestures meant.

Yu Xin nodded in pleasant surprise.

Lin Ran walked over, picked up the bracelet, and examined it carefully in his palm.

Although the bracelet was indeed a bit battered and even covered with traces of time, under the insight of his Yin-Yang Innate Dao Eyes, Lin Ran could indeed sense a surging power of destruction from within it.

This power made his Divine Soul feel deeply wary, as if it would explode just by looking at it again.

"What a powerful force of destruction! This power... let alone the Tianji God Realm, even a powerhouse with the cultivation of the Tianquan God Realm would likely die instantly, right?!"

Lin Ran felt a deep palpitation, but his heart was stirred with infinite longing.

Such a powerful precious treasure might truly come in handy one day!

"Oh? Has this Fellow Daoist taken a fancy to the God-Extinguishing Bracelet?"

Seeing that Lin Ran had chosen the God-Extinguishing Bracelet, Senior Qin Yu asked with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"Senior, is there something wrong with choosing this treasure?"

Lin Ran asked, neither humble nor arrogant.

"It is not inappropriate, but I must tell you that it has already been used."

"Although the God-Extinguishing Bracelet contains a terrifying power of destruction and can even slay a powerhouse at the Tianquan God Realm level, it can only be used three times in total."

"My clansmen have already used up the first two times, so it can only be used one more time now before it turns into nothingness."

"The current God-Extinguishing Bracelet can only be considered a one-time treasure. Although it is powerful, when compared to other precious treasures in the Star-Plucking Tower, its cost-effectiveness is ultimately not very high."

Senior Qin Yu explained patiently.

Lin Ran grinned: "Once is enough. I was worried that this God-Extinguishing Bracelet could no longer be used."

"Many thanks for your kind explanation, Senior Qin Yu, but my mind is made up. I want this God-Extinguishing Bracelet!"

Senior Qin Yu nodded: "Mm, this is your choice. Although I will give you appropriate advice, I will not force my interference."

"Many thanks, Senior Qin Yu!"

Lin Ran smiled and cupped his fists.

"Not at all, Fellow Daoist, there is no need to be so polite."

"Compared to the Clan Suppressing Scripture, this God-Extinguishing Bracelet is not really much."

"Haha!"

Senior Qin Yu laughed loudly.

Meanwhile, Yu Xin and the others also picked out a precious treasure they liked one after another, feeling very pleased.

"My young friends, I have already sent people to prepare a temporary residence for you. Please follow me."

Lin Ran and the others immediately followed behind Senior Qin Yu.

...

Green Dragon God Clan, Forbidden Ground.

Coming to this familiar place again, the Saintess Qin Mengyao appeared calm on the surface, but she was very worried, and the gloom in her eyes was constantly brewing.

"Saintess Qin Mengyao, you are here. Sit."

The Green Dragon God Clan's Old Ancestor was a hunched old Daoist. When he laughed, he revealed a mouthful of yellow teeth, and his eyes were slightly narrow, making him look very lecherous.

"Saintess Qin Mengyao pays respects to the Old Ancestor."

The Saintess Qin Mengyao bowed and then sat opposite the Old Ancestor.

"Mm, I heard that in the process of slaying the traitor, there should have been a piece of ten-thousand-year immortal spirit ice, right?"

"Saintess Qin Mengyao, that piece of ten-thousand-year immortal spirit ice should be in your hands, right? Hand it over; I, the Old Ancestor, have great use for it."

Qin Chuanze said with a mocking smile.

The Saintess Qin Mengyao's expression changed obscurely, and she pondered secretly in her heart.

She had sworn an oath to the Heavenly Dao to give the ten-thousand-year immortal spirit ice to Lin Ran.

Otherwise, she would suffer the destruction of Heaven and Earth and perish!

Therefore, it was naturally impossible for her to give this piece of ten-thousand-year immortal spirit ice to Qin Chuanze.

But she also could not reveal the transaction between herself and Lin Ran. Wouldn't that be equivalent to backstabbing Lin Ran?

As the Saintess of the Green Dragon God Clan, she prided herself on not being such a person.

After thinking for a moment, the Saintess Qin Mengyao slowly raised her eyes, her gaze carrying a hint of apology as she said:

"Old Ancestor, this ten-thousand-year immortal spirit ice is very compatible with my attributes. I wonder if the Old Ancestor could bestow this ten-thousand-year immortal spirit ice upon me to Cultivate?"

"In the past, the Old Ancestor has always doted on me the most. Surely you wouldn't refuse even this small request of mine now, right?"

The Saintess Qin Mengyao's expression was somewhat pitiful; anyone who saw it would soften their heart.

However, Qin Chuanze did not seem to fall for this.

He looked deeply at the Saintess Qin Mengyao, his profound gaze seeming capable of peering into the hearts of living beings, making the Saintess Qin Mengyao feel flustered and cold sweat stream down.
