54: Chapter 54 Xu Kun's Scheme: Allocating Top-Grade Spiritual Veins

In the blink of an eye, several more days passed.

In the Immortal Spring, Lin Ran was soaking his whole body, resting his head on Yan Ruyu's lap, enjoying a moment of tranquility.

"Little Ranran, the day after tomorrow is your life-and-death battle with Xu Kun. Are you confident you can defeat him in one move?"

Yan Ruyu gently stroked Lin Ran's face, tidying his hair as she asked with a smile.

Lin Ran grinned. "Martial Aunt, Xu Kun is after all a Prodigy of our Yin Yang Peak and even has the potential of a true Disciple. How can you look down on him so much?"

"One move might not be enough; it'll probably take two, right?"

Yan Ruyu laughed helplessly. "Yes, yes, yes, whatever Little Ranran says is right. Then use two moves to knock that jumping clown back to reality."

"Otherwise, he might continue living in his own fantasy, thinking you climbed to your position relying on this face~"

Speaking of which, she paused for a moment as if thinking of something, and said:

"By the way, Little Ranran, news came a few days ago saying Xu Kun visited the Treasure Pavilion and seemingly bought a sha jin pill from there."

"At that time, Xu Kun's cultivation had already reached the 9th Heaven of the Guiyi Realm."

"I reckon he plans to use this sha jin pill as his final trump card. He likely wants to Breakthrough to the Saint Realm during the fight with you and then strike you down with a thunderous blow!"

Yan Ruyu's brow was filled with worry.

"Oh? I didn't expect Xu Kun to have such guts, even daring to use a sha jin pill? Impressive, impressive."

Lin Ran smiled nonchalantly.

The sha jin pill is a forbidden pill; the consumer can use the Evil Qi contained within to forcibly step into a higher Realm.

Of course, compared to the temporary power, the permanent side effects brought by the sha jin pill are even more daunting.

Once the sha jin pill is swallowed, the terrifying Evil Qi will help one rush into a higher Realm in a short time, but it will also destroy the body's Meridians and Dantian within that same short period.

In other words, the power brought by the sha jin pill is temporary, but the fall is for a lifetime.

Therefore, the sha jin pill is also known as a forbidden pill. Unless it is truly a life-or-death moment where there is no other choice, no one dares to use it.

Lin Ran truly hadn't expected that Xu Kun would even dare to buy and use a sha jin pill just to kill him.

He had to admit, he somewhat admired Xu Kun's courage.

Seeing Lin Ran's indifferent look, Yan Ruyu couldn't help but roll her eyes and gently tapped his forehead.

"Little Ranran, I am serious. If Xu Kun swallows the sha jin pill, his strength will increase significantly in a short time. You must remember to be careful then!"

Seeing the worry for him on Yan Ruyu's face and the genuine affection in her eyes, Lin Ran stood up and pulled her into his arms.

"Don't worry, Martial Aunt, I have never taken Xu Kun seriously."

"Besides, I haven't seen enough of your beauty yet, Martial Aunt. How could I bear to die so easily?"

A mischievous smile hung on the corner of Lin Ran's lips as he lightly bit Yan Ruyu's earlobe, his hot breath brushing against her face.

"You and your sweet talk!"

Yan Ruyu's face was flushed red, looking both annoyed and shy.

"Alright, Little Ranran, tidy yourself up, and then we'll go to the Sect Master Hall."

Hearing this, Lin Ran understood immediately.

It was time to deal with the nine supreme grade spirit veins in his hands.

After some more flirting, the two of them put on their clothes and headed for the Sect Master Hall.

When they arrived at the Sect Master Hall, Sect Master Nan Feng, the various Peak Masters, and Vice Peak Masters were all gathered there.

Except for Su Xiyue, who was still in closed-door Cultivation, all the Peak Masters and Vice Peak Masters currently in the Feixian Sect had arrived.

Before coming, Yan Ruyu had already sent voice transmissions to these people, asking them to gather in the Sect Master Hall.

"Vice Peak Master Yan, this is a bit inappropriate. You said you had something to tell us and called us here, but you ended up being late yourself."

Zheng Wei, the Peak Master of the Life and Death Peak, grumbled slightly.

"It is indeed unfair."

Yang Yan, the Peak Master of the Five Elements Peak, smiled faintly.

"Alright, everyone be quiet for a moment and listen to what Vice Peak Master Yan has to say."

Nan Feng smiled slightly.

However, while he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Lin Ran, the light in his eyes flickering.

"Ahem! Calling you here today was not my idea, but because my Little Ranran wants to gift you all an Opportunity."

Yan Ruyu coughed lightly and pulled Lin Ran in front of her with a proud look.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on Lin Ran.

Su Chi Jiu, the Vice Peak Master of the Time Peak, smiled faintly, showing some interest. "Oh? I wonder what Opportunity True Disciple Lin wants to grant us?"

Lin Ran first cupped his fists toward Nan Feng and the others, then said, "Do you Seniors still remember the matter of our Feixian Sect competing with the Prison Dragon Demon Clan for the supreme grade spirit veins a few days ago?"

Everyone looked at each other upon hearing this.

"We do remember, but we didn't seem to see the nine supreme grade spirit veins. Could they have all been taken by the Prison Dragon Demon Clan?"

"That should be impossible. True Disciple Lin possesses the Destiny Immortal Body and went out to battle for the Sect this time. He should have brought back at least one supreme grade spirit vein; it's impossible not to see a single one, right?"

"Indeed, this is quite strange."

The Peak Masters and Vice Peak Masters discussed among themselves.

"It's like this, Seniors. Actually, all nine supreme grade spirit veins are in my hands."

Lin Ran spoke.

"What?! All nine supreme grade spirit veins are in your hands?!"

"This... this... how did this happen?!"

"The Prison Dragon Demon Clan didn't manage to take even a single supreme grade spirit vein? There's such a thing?!"

Everyone was shocked, their faces full of astonishment.

Next, Lin Ran briefly recounted the bet between Nan Feng and Long Baixue.

"At that time, I alone killed the nine great Prodigies of the Prison Dragon Demon Clan, and thus obtained the nine supreme grade spirit veins."

"The Sect Master believed that obtaining these nine supreme grade spirit veins was solely due to my efforts, so he granted all nine supreme grade spirit veins to me."

"However, I feel that I do not deserve such a reward. The Sect has put great effort into nurturing me, so it is only right that I obtain the nine supreme grade spirit veins for the Sect."

"Therefore, I believe I should not keep all nine supreme grade spirit veins for myself and should distribute them among the Nine Great Peaks."

"This way, the Peak Master, Vice Peak Master, Elders, and Disciples of every peak can gain many benefits from them!"

Lin Ran spoke.

The heads of the Peak Masters and Vice Peak Masters buzzed, their minds going blank as they stood frozen in place like statues.

Lin Ran had killed the nine great Prodigies sent by the Prison Dragon Demon Clan all by himself?!

Sect Master Nan Feng had granted all nine supreme grade spirit veins to Lin Ran?!

And then, Lin Ran felt he didn't deserve them and wanted to distribute them to the Nine Great Peaks?!

These nine supreme grade spirit veins were likely obtained by Lin Ran through hard fighting outside, yet now he wanted to distribute them to the Nine Great Peaks.

Such terrifying combat power and such magnanimous character—in their eyes, the current Lin Ran was radiating a dazzling light!

"What... what is that light?!"

"Heavens! It's... it's the legendary Light of the Righteous Path!!!"
