55: Chapter 55 Another step forward? Lin Ran vows!

The Peak Masters and Vice Peak Masters could not hide the excitement on their faces; they were trembling with agitation.

After all, these were supreme grade spirit veins!

Even if each peak only obtained one, it would be a heaven-sent Opportunity!

supreme grade spirit veins could improve the cultivation environment within the peaks and increase everyone's cultivation speed.

This point alone was a massive Opportunity!

What no one noticed was that Sect Master Nan Feng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious and gratified smile.

He looked at Lin Ran, his aura gentle, appearing like a piece of warm jade as he asked with a smile:

"Lin Ran, I bestowed the nine supreme grade spirit veins upon you to increase your cultivation in a short period of time."

"Do you truly intend to distribute the nine supreme grade spirit veins to every peak today?"

Lin Ran nodded and cupped his fists, saying, "To answer the Sect Master, as the saying goes: the Sect is for me, and I am for the Sect."

"Since the Sect has chosen to vigorously nurture me, I shall return the favor and give back to the Sect!"

These words were spoken with righteous indignation and solemn commitment.

The gaze of the Peak Masters and Vice Peak Masters toward Lin Ran underwent a distinct change.

It was excitement, surprise, agitation, gratification, and even a hint of... awe!

"Old Yang, do you think True Disciple Lin's status... needs to be raised further? I feel more and more that True Disciple Lin has the bearing of a Saint!"

Zheng Wei, the Peak Master of Life and Death Peak, patted the shoulder of Yang Yan, the Peak Master of Five Elements Peak, and said with a profound gaze.

Yang Yan deeply agreed: "Old Zheng, you're right. I also support Lin Ran becoming the Saint of our Feixian Sect's current generation."

Su Chi Jiu stroked his chin and spoke with a voice as warm as jade:

"The previous Saints and Saintesses weren't bad either; they were all magnanimous people."

"But even if they were in this situation today, I'm afraid they wouldn't be as single-mindedly devoted to the Sect as Lin Ran."

"Those Saints and Saintesses would have kept at least a few supreme grade spirit veins for themselves before bringing out the rest."

As he spoke, Su Chi Jiu actually began to laugh, his eyes filled with praise and approval for Lin Ran.

"Rest assured, everyone. The True Disciple Grand Competition will arrive soon, and my Little Ranran will surely become the Saint!"

Yan Ruyu said with a tsundere and confident air.

"Oh? I didn't expect Vice Peak Master Yan to have such confidence in True Disciple Lin. I am looking forward to the day of the True Disciple Grand Competition more and more."

"I really hope to see True Disciple Lin become our Sect's Saint."

"Plus one."

Everyone burst into discussion again, their words revealing their satisfaction with Lin Ran. They wished they could replace the Sect Master and Old Ancestor to establish Lin Ran as the Saint immediately!

Seeing this, the smile on Nan Feng's face grew deeper. Wasn't this exactly the effect he wanted?

Just as Yan Ruyu had said, he had bestowed the nine supreme grade spirit veins upon Lin Ran only as a temporary deposit; ultimately, he wanted Lin Ran to 'spit them out.'

Even if Lin Ran hadn't taken the initiative today, he would have hinted at it and 'held Lin Ran's hand' to teach him to do so in secret.

And Lin Ran had understood his intentions, voluntarily handing over the nine supreme grade spirit veins and winning a massive wave of popular support. This made him even more satisfied with Lin Ran.

Lin Ran was also a bit excited inside.

Looking at the situation today, they were already treating him as the Saint-to-be.

Was he finally about to advance again?!

"Very well. Since you insist, Lin Ran, it would seem affected and hypocritical of us elders to continue refusing."

"Of course, our Feixian Sect has a great foundation. Since you have handed over the nine supreme grade spirit veins, this Sect will not mistreat you."

"From today onward, all the Sect's resources will be tilted toward you. Whether it's the Treasure Pavilion, Supreme Treasure Pavilion, Cultivation Technique Pavilion, Divine Ability Pavilion, and so on, you may come and go as you please. Whatever you like, you can take."

"You are the priority of our Feixian Sect."

Nan Feng patted Lin Ran's shoulder, speaking solemnly.

These words were like a stone stirring up a thousand waves. Even Yan Ruyu was stunned, her heart trembling.

Crazy!

The Sect Master is crazy!

This was clearly telling the entire Sect that Lin Ran was now the treasure of the Feixian Sect, the unique Qilin Son, and everything revolved around him!

This is the significance of the Destiny Immortal Body's existence!!!

Lin Ran's pupils contracted sharply. His mind worked quickly, and then, in front of everyone, he made an unexpected move.

"I, Lin Ran, hereby make a Heavenly Dao oath: as long as the Feixian Sect does not fail me, I shall never fail the Feixian Sect!"

"Should I violate this oath, may the Heavenly Dao strike me down, my Physical Body perish, my Divine Soul dissipate, my True Spirit crumble, and may there be no Reincarnation—vanishing into thin air!"

Lin Ran made the Heavenly Dao oath in front of Nan Feng and the others.

This Heavenly Dao oath seemed to bind him, but in reality, it was to put Nan Feng and the others at ease.

After all, what if he swept away the treasures in the Treasure Pavilion, Supreme Treasure Pavilion, Divine Ability Pavilion, and so on, and then defected from the Feixian Sect?!

Although Nan Feng and the others knew he wouldn't do that, and he knew he wouldn't do it either, this 'trust' was merely a vague concept based on subjective speculation.

However, making a Heavenly Dao oath now gave this vague concept a clear boundary, putting Nan Feng and the others at ease and making them trust him even more. Why wouldn't he do it?!

Sure enough, after he made this Heavenly Dao oath, the way everyone present, including Yan Ruyu, looked at him changed, becoming gentler and more filled with awe.

Lin Ran's Heavenly Dao oath stated that as long as the Feixian Sect did not fail him, he would not fail the Feixian Sect.

Not only did this leave some leeway, but it also put their minds at ease.

This emotional intelligence is simply incredible!!!

Nan Feng looked at Lin Ran, his heart itching with the desire to hand over the entire Feixian Sect to him.

But he wouldn't do it because he knew that if he did, he would probably have a close encounter with the Third Ancestor's size 45 foot in the next second.

After all, Lin Ran's cultivation was still too weak. Even if he intended to pass the Feixian Sect to Lin Ran, Lin Ran himself probably wouldn't agree.

"Sect Master, Seniors, inside this Taotie Bag are the nine supreme grade spirit veins."

Lin Ran took out the Taotie Bag containing the nine supreme grade spirit veins and handed it to Nan Feng.

Nan Feng smilingly took it and then distributed the nine supreme grade spirit veins.

"Hahaha... Good, good!"

"With this supreme grade spirit vein, the cultivation speed of those within my peak will surely increase by a large margin!"

"Saint... no, True Disciple Lin, I, Zheng Wei, will keep such great kindness and virtue in my heart!"

Zheng Wei laughed heartily and patted Lin Ran's shoulder with great boldness.

"If True Disciple Lin has any needs in the future, just speak up. We naturally will not refuse."

Su Chi Jiu smiled.

"Kid Lin, my Peak Master is an eccentric. As the Peak Master of Bright Peak, he raises all sorts of strange and exotic poisonous insects."

"If you need them, you can come and tell me secretly. When the day of the True Disciple Grand Competition comes, I'll go and poison the true disciples of the other peaks. Then you'll have no opponents, and the position of Saint will be yours for the taking!"

Chen Yue, the Vice Peak Master of Bright Peak, leaned in quietly, winking with ill intent.
