6: A man of insight is a wise man

As he said this, Su Xuan felt incredibly refreshed. He had been holding onto these words for a long time, just waiting for this moment.

Even though Zhao Rou had already been thoroughly taken by him, Lin Fan had no idea!

"I... I..."

Lin Fan was still hesitating.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly told him from deep within his heart.

"Lin Fan, as long as the green hills remain, there will always be wood to burn. You are a person blessed with great fortune. Your mother will be fine, don't worry!"

"Master..."

Hearing this voice, Lin Fan finally chose to believe the other party.

Simply because.

The other party was his Master!

"Sigh... alright... I'll tell you..."

"The method to activate this token is to drip my essence blood into it, and then it can be activated!"

Lin Fan said through gritted teeth, his heart filled with resentment.

"A wise man knows when to yield! Little Lin Fan! You will surely make a name for yourself in the future!" (Implying that even if he's buried, his head will still be above ground)

Su Xuan's face was filled with admiration.

"Hehehe, don't blame me, Little Lin Fan. I originally wanted to be a good person, but who told me to be the villain?"

Su Xuan smiled sinisterly in his heart.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully forcing the Protagonist to do something he was unwilling to do. Rewarding 500 Villain Points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully breaking the Protagonist's defense. Rewarding 500 Villain Points!"

"Hahahahahaha! As the ancients said, a wise man knows when to yield! Lin Fan, I truly admire you!"

Seeing Lin Fan so receptive, Su Xuan burst into laughter and patted Lin Fan's shoulder with great satisfaction.

"I've told you how to activate it, can you let my mother go now?"

Lin Fan asked.

Su Xuan directly ignored Lin Fan's words, took out the token, and placed it in front of Lin Fan.

"Stop the nonsense, right now, immediately, drip your essence blood into it, otherwise! Hehehe!"

Su Xuan's lips curled up slightly, looking at Lin Fan with a wicked smile.

Essence blood is a cultivator's lifeblood; even losing a single drop can cause significant damage.

Unless the other party willingly offered it, Su Xuan truly had no way to force Lin Fan.

Unfortunately, at this time, Lin Fan was still a novice cultivator and had no idea about this point.

His Master had only taught him how to use essence blood, without mentioning this at all.

"You... you must promise to release my mother first!"

Lin Fan said.

He was not foolish, of course; he knew that if he listened to Su Xuan now, Su Xuan would definitely go back on his word!

However, he overlooked an important matter: Su Xuan was outside, and he was currently at the same table as the prison boss. Even if Su Xuan didn't agree, he couldn't do anything.

"Still a young man after all! Hehehe! I like such a Protagonist!"

Su Xuan thought to himself.

"You have no leverage to negotiate with me, otherwise, you know the consequences! You don't want anything to happen to your mother, do you?"

Su Xuan threatened again.

Upon hearing this, images of Zhao Rou potentially being subjected to various things by Su Xuan immediately appeared in Lin Fan's mind.

A feeling of humiliation immediately surged into his heart.

"Damn it! Thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west! When I rise one day, I will definitely not let you off!"

Lin Fan bit his lip so hard that it bled, his mouth full of blood, but he ultimately agreed to Su Xuan's demand.

Afterward, Su Xuan unlocked Lin Fan's shackles. Lin Fan then bit his finger and dripped a drop of crimson blood into the token.

As the blood merged with the token, the token immediately emitted a dazzling light.

Meanwhile, at Tianwu Holy Land, in the Holy Maiden's boudoir.

A woman dressed in a goose-yellow gauze dress was sitting quietly on the couch.

Her beauty was exquisite, her skin like congealed fat, so delicate it seemed it could be broken by a touch, as smooth and fine as a freshly peeled egg.

This person was none other than Li Qiuyue, the Holy Maiden of Tianwu Holy Land.

Li Qiuyue, who was meditating, suddenly noticed that the token beside her was emitting a light.

"The token my mother gave me is actually reacting!"

Li Qiuyue was greatly shocked.

This token was left by the previous generation's Holy Maiden, who was her mother.

In Tianwu Holy Land, every twenty years, a Holy Maiden and a Holy Son are chosen.

Each Holy Maiden and Holy Son receives a token. By dripping their essence blood into it, they can enter a Secret Realm.

The Secret Realm contains various opportunities, including one of Tianwu Holy Land's top Cultivation Techniques.

However, what this Cultivation Technique is, no one knows except for the Holy Sons, Holy Maidens, and the Ancestors.

Nevertheless, one fact is certain: after emerging from the Secret Realm, their strength would advance by leaps and bounds.

However, due to some reason, the previous generation's Holy Son disappeared, and this token also went missing with him.

It has not reappeared for several decades now.

Because of this, Tianwu Holy Land also established an unwritten rule: whoever obtains this token will be the new Holy Son.

Unfortunately, decades have passed, and no one has found this token yet.

These two tokens are the Foundation of Tianwu Holy Land.

Now that this token was activated again, Li Qiuyue's mood was incredibly excited.

"It's perfect; my cultivation has also entered a Bottleneck recently. Why not seize this Opportunity to enter the Secret Realm and seek some opportunities?"

Li Qiuyue thought to herself.

"And... I can also see my future husband..."

Thinking of this, Li Qiuyue's face immediately flushed slightly.

In Tianwu Holy Land, there was an unwritten rule that each generation's Holy Maiden and Holy Son, if nothing unexpected happened, were to become husband and wife.

Her mother was also like this, marrying the previous Holy Son.

However, unfortunately, her father passed away decades ago in a battle, leaving her mother to live as a widow for decades.

Due to the disappearance of the previous Holy Son, Tianwu Holy Land had not appointed a Holy Son for decades, but the Holy Maiden still existed.

"I wonder what kind of person my future husband will be? Will he be handsome, or..."

Li Qiuyue couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.

As a Holy Maiden, Li Qiuyue had always been a sacred, inviolable existence, let alone getting married.

Normally, even if Li Qiuyue spoke to a man, it had to be with the Elders' permission!

This was the first time she had experienced such a thing in her life, so Li Qiuyue was naturally a little excited inside.

"My mother said that having a man is the happiest thing in life, but I don't know why she would say that!"

Thinking of this, Li Qiuyue's mind began to wander with countless thoughts, but being inexperienced, even if she racked her brains, she would not know what her mother truly meant.

"Never mind all that for now. I'll report this matter first, and then proceed with preparing for the Secret Realm!"

Li Qiuyue's face was slightly flushed, and she then got up and went to her mother's boudoir.

The return of the Holy Son was a major event in Tianwu Holy Land, and she had to report it to the Holy Land's higher-ups.
