12: Another Prodigy! Zhao Qingrou

"Grandpa, how could you! I, your granddaughter, won't let you off!"

"Grandpa, you're finished today, completely finished!"

A young girl's secret thoughts should not be easily exposed. Once exposed, she's like a barrel of gunpowder, exploding with extraordinary force.

Therefore, Grand Elder Bai Yuanqi naturally became the victim!

...Tiancang Peak!

The Second Elder's dwelling was still that verdant bamboo forest.

However, at this moment,

In a beautifully decorated pavilion next to the cyan boulder, Mo Bufan was no longer alone, appearing somewhat empty, deep, lonely, and desolate.

Instead, another figure had appeared.

This person was the Second Elder's Disciple, and also another Prodigy within the Fengyun Sect.

"Revered Master, have we made a mistake?"

Zhao Qingrou's eyes showed confusion as he said with a sigh, "The heavenly phoenix inheritance has been taken by Yang Yucheng, and he also possesses the Great Sun Burning Heaven technique. Can Lin Fan truly succeed?"

"Play chess!"

Facing his Disciple's doubts, Mo Bufan remained unperturbed.

He opened his mouth.

The black piece he held in his hand was placed on the chessboard. As the black piece landed,

Suddenly,

The chess game, which had just been cornered, underwent a drastic change.

"Of the three thousand Great Daos, all paths lead to the same destination. With Luck bestowed upon one, there is nothing that cannot be achieved!"

"That Lin Fan, to be able to journey from a remote small country all the way to my Fengyun Sect, shows his extraordinary qualities! As for whether destiny belongs to him, we don't need to be so fixated on it. Let's just treat it as a casual move in a chess game!"

"If it succeeds, that's naturally for the best. If not, it doesn't matter either."

"Disciple, I will remember your teachings!"

Zhao Qingrou seemed momentarily lost in thought.

He reacted, and the gentle, jade-like, spring breeze-like demeanor on his face became three points more natural, showing that his Revered Master's words just now had elevated his state of mind slightly.

To achieve an Epiphany with just a single word like this,

It showed how terrifying the other party's talent had reached!

It was no wonder.

His prestige in the Fengyun Sect was only slightly less than that of Yang Yucheng, the current Senior Brother and acting sect master!

...Phoenix Ridge!

Hundreds of miles east of Qixia City, this area was filled with undulating mountain ranges, stretching endlessly. Only Phoenix Ridge was the most prominent among them.

The mountains were steep, with cliffs and precipices everywhere.

There was only one entrance path into Phoenix Ridge, a ten-mile secluded spring.

This spring could not be crossed by any boat other than those from Qixia City.

Even something as light as a feather would sink to the bottom of the lake in an instant. Travelers could only pass through to Phoenix Ridge with the boatmen of Qixia City.

Besides this, there was no other way!

As for flying through the air, it was even more impossible!

Legend has it that Phoenix Ridge got its name because it was the place where a heavenly Phoenix fell tens of thousands of years ago, and its powerful prestige was irresistible.

Even to this day,

The Void Realm here seemed to have Phoenix fire Restrictions; one could not enter unless they had reached the Spirit Sect Realm!

...Outside Qixia City, Blood Spirit sent Lin Fan to this place.

Her face was full of reluctance.

"Young Revered Master Lin Fan, are you truly unwilling to return to the Red Blood Manor with me?"

"At the Fengyun Sect, I abducted you in broad daylight! I'm afraid, given Yang Yucheng's temperament, he has already branded you as a wanted criminal."

"If you don't come back with me, I'm afraid you'll have no place to stay in this Northern Region!"

"Hahaha!"

Lin Fan chuckled a few times.

His eyes held a look of relief as he looked at Blood Spirit before him, showing no fear.

"I never thought that the Little Girl I saved in Qinghe City back then, after three years of not seeing her, would not only remain silent but then suddenly astonish everyone by becoming the Young Manor Lord of a first-rate Sect in the Northern Region."

"Her future prospects are even greater! I even thought you, Little Girl, wouldn't recognize me anymore?"

"How could that be?"

Blood Spirit quickly shook her head.

She tiptoed and took a few steps to Lin Fan's side, as if afraid he wouldn't believe her.

She spoke again.

"Young Revered Master Lin Fan, Ling'er is not that kind of person!"

She puffed out her cheeks, a little anxious and a little angry, angry that in Lin Fan's heart, she had become such an ungrateful person!

"Alright! You, Little Girl, I was just joking with you!"

Lin Fan shook his head with a laugh.

Seeing this, Blood Spirit turned around.

"I'm not talking to Young Revered Master Lin Fan anymore."

"In the future, Young Revered Master Lin Fan, please take good care of yourself. If you encounter any danger!"

Blood Spirit's words stopped there.

She lightly bit her silver teeth, then handed the Heavenly Blood Spirit Pearl, a protective Magic Treasure specially bestowed upon her by the Sect, to Lin Fan.

"This Spirit Pearl is a High Grade Spirit Treasure! It's quite effective."

"Originally, I wanted to give you the Soul-Devouring Treasure Bell, Young Revered Master, but Yang Yucheng used a trick to take it. This Heavenly Blood Spirit Pearl is also good."

"If you encounter any danger, Young Revered Master, the Spirit Pearl can also send a message to me, so I can come and save you at the first possible moment!"

"This!"

Lin Fan was somewhat tempted.

But with his intelligence, how could he not realize the preciousness of the Heavenly Blood Spirit Pearl before him?

A High Grade Spirit Treasure.

Even he, at present, had only fortunately acquired one!

Blood Spirit, though she had become the Young Manor Lord of the Red Blood Manor, must have had an extremely difficult journey to get where she was.

"The Heavenly Blood Spirit Pearl is useful to you."

"When going to the place of the heavenly phoenix inheritance, this Spirit Pearl might be able to help you a bit!"

Suddenly, the old man's voice sounded in his mind.

Lin Fan thought to himself, "Teacher, this Heavenly Blood Spirit Pearl is Ling'er's protective item. If I take it, what about her in the future...?"

"What are you afraid of!"

The old man smiled slightly: "Teacher, after all these years, I do have some family wealth. An item for an item, isn't that enough!"

"I didn't expect you, little fellow, to have such good Luck with romance."

"I have some impression of that Little Girl from back then. Three years later, she has become such a great beauty. If you cling to her, not to mention the heavenly phoenix inheritance, your cultivation resources for the future, even without the Fengyun Sect, will still be abundant."

"Why not!"

"Teacher!"

Lin Fan called out in his heart.

The ancient black ring on his right hand flashed with a white light.

Then!

Lin Fan took out the Spirit Treasure his Teacher had given him, and information about this Spirit Treasure automatically entered his mind.

"Ling'er, this is the Warm Sun Jade. It might have some calming effect on your Cultivation Technique and can also give you a helping hand."

"As for this Heavenly Blood Spirit Pearl, it is indeed useful to me!"

"I'll take it!"

Lin Fan smiled.

"Warm Sun Jade?!"

"Young Revered Master, you really don't want to owe Ling'er anything!"

Blood Spirit shook her small head, her large eyes looking at Lin Fan.

She opened her red lips, as if she had something to say, but then, thinking of the Young Revered Master's predicament and his current status, she put the words back into her heart.

Instead, she transformed into a streak of blood-red light and disappeared before Qixia City.

Leaving behind her voice.

"Young Revered Master, I believe in you!"

"Ling'er believes that one day, Young Revered Master's name will spread throughout the entire Northern Region. That Yang Yucheng is simply no match for you, Young Revered Master!"
