229: Collect seeds, news of the Demon Seal Clan! [Seeking follow-up reading]

Lin Fan, however, remained calm. With a wave of his hand, he put away the black tortoise heaven suppression bell.

Ying Huanhuan, holding her emerald guqin, floated down from the large tree, then flipped her palm and put away the guqin.

“The Barren Demon Eye is indeed very strong. It’s quite abnormal that you managed to Cultivate it successfully. Also, that palm strike you used afterwards was not weak at all!”

Ying Huanhuan glanced at Lin Fan and said.

Jiang Kun and Yuan Ling now looked at Lin Fan with a hint of awe.

Having witnessed Lin Fan’s terrifying strength and ruthless methods, they no longer dared to treat him as a newly admitted Disciple.

Lin Fan smiled and said, “Senior Sister Huanhuan’s Sonic Power is also very impressive.”

Hearing this, Ying Huanhuan’s pretty face flushed slightly.

Earlier, she had been a little distracted and almost let the Fire Crystal Ape King escape.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Just as Lin Fan and Ying Huanhuan were talking, urgent sounds of wind breaking also echoed through the forest.

Immediately after, Yuan Fang led more than a dozen Disciples and quickly swept over.

And when she saw Ying Huanhuan and the others safe and sound, her tense face finally relaxed a little.

“Where is the Fire Crystal Ape King?” Yuan Fang’s gaze swept around, asking with some surprise.

Jiang Kun said, “Junior Brother Lin Fan took care of it.”

Yuan Ling also chuckled and roughly recounted the battle situation.

“Barren Demon Eye?”

Hearing the name Barren Demon Eye from Yuan Ling’s mouth, Yuan Fang and some of the Disciples beside her were immediately moved.

As Dao Sect disciples, they had naturally heard of this mysterious Martial Art from the Desolate Hall.

They just hadn’t expected that Lin Fan, right before their eyes, would actually be able to Cultivate it successfully.

“Sister Fang, what about those Fire Crystal Demon Apes?” Ying Huanhuan now looked at Yuan Fang and asked.

“They’ve all been dealt with,” Yuan Fang nodded lightly, then looked at the immortal essence ancient tree in the distance with a somewhat complex gaze.

She knew that if the news here spread, the entire Blood Rock Land would be in an uproar.

Compared to the immortal essence ancient seed of the immortal essence ancient tree, this mineral vein was not worth mentioning.

Everyone’s gaze also began to turn towards the black ancient tree that had broken through the ground and grown, their eyes filled with both fervor and solemnity.

“Looking at the energy level of these fruits, it seems they will ripen and fall in less than five days,” Ying Huanhuan stared at the immortal essence ancient tree and whispered.

“At that time, we will know if this immortal essence ancient tree has a seed.”

“Then let’s just wait five days,” Lin Fan nodded slightly and said, “By the way, I have some knowledge of Formation, and if I have the Materials, I should be able to set up a Formation that blocks auras.”

Ying Huanhuan shook her head and said, “It’s useless. As long as there is Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, when the immortal essence ancient seed appears, its aura cannot be blocked from leaking out.”

“However, if a Formation that blocks Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is set up, it will affect the ripening of the Immortal Essence Ancient Fruit and the birth of the ancient tree’s seed.”

“Alright, then we can only wait,” Lin Fan shrugged and said.

Next, the group stayed by the immortal essence ancient tree, quietly waiting for the Immortal Essence Ancient Fruit to ripen.

Time flew by.

In a blink of an eye, it was the fifth day.

The five fruits hanging on the immortal essence ancient tree became increasingly vibrant, clearly about to ripen.

Lin Fan sat cross-legged by the immortal essence ancient tree. Seeing the Immortal Essence Ancient Fruit about to ripen, his mind stirred, and wisps of Mental Energy surged from his Niwan Palace, enveloping the entire forest.

No movement within the forest could escape his Mental Energy perception.

Suddenly, a pair of small boots appeared before him.

Lin Fan looked up and saw Ying Huanhuan with her slender hands clasped behind her back, staring at him from a condescending angle, her bright big eyes full of vitality.

“Your Mental Energy is quite strong. I heard you’re already an Eight-imprint Celestial Inscription Master?”

Ying Huanhuan stared at Lin Fan, smiled, and said.

“It’s alright, have you also Cultivated Mental Energy?” Lin Fan smiled slightly and said.

“Yes, but not as strong as yours. I’ve only passed one Wind and Thunder Tribulation. Your Mental Energy seems to cover quite a wide area,” Ying Huanhuan pouted and said.

Lin Fan chuckled, “The Immortal Essence Ancient Fruit is about to ripen, so it’s always good to be careful and pay attention.”

“I originally thought it was just an ordinary mission, but I didn’t expect it to become so troublesome,” Ying Huanhuan walked over and sat beside Lin Fan, her dark eyes fixed on the immortal essence ancient tree, then she smiled slightly:

“However, I actually hope for this. If we can obtain the immortal essence ancient seed, it would be a huge boon for our Dao Sect…”

Ying Huanhuan stroked her fair and smooth chin with her jade-like hand, her dark ponytail cascading over her fragrant shoulder, as she prattled on to Lin Fan about the importance of the immortal essence ancient seed, the fierce competition in the Eastern Xuan Region, and so on.

Suddenly, Ying Huanhuan seemed to remember something and rolled her eyes at Lin Fan, “Your talent is excellent. If you were to join the Heavenly Hall, your achievements would undoubtedly be outstanding.”

Lin Fan smiled and said, “My achievements in the Desolate Hall will only be higher.”

“Hmph, still so boastful. Say that again after you successfully comprehend the Great Desolation Scripture,” Ying Huanhuan snorted delicately upon hearing this.

“I definitely will, but for now, let’s first bring the immortal essence ancient seed back to the Sect,” Lin Fan stared at the fruits on the immortal essence ancient tree and whispered.

“Hey, what are you two chatting about?”

Jiang Kun and Yuan Ling had been paying attention to the commotion here and, seeing the two chatting endlessly, couldn’t help but ask.

“The fruits are about to ripen!”

Lin Fan stared at the Immortal Essence Ancient Fruit, his eyes narrowing slightly, and whispered.

Ying Huanhuan and the others also immediately noticed, and their faces were filled with nervous joy.

Buzz! Buzz!

The five crimson fruits on the immortal essence ancient tree trembled continuously, their speed increasing.

In the next instant, they suddenly shook violently, detached from the tree trunk, and fell down.

Lin Fan waved his large hand, and a suction force erupted, directly taking the five Immortal Essence Ancient Fruits into his hand and placing them into the System Space, his gaze still fixed on the immortal essence ancient tree.

Ying Huanhuan and the others also kept their eyes fixed on the immortal essence ancient tree, not moving for a moment.

After the Immortal Essence Ancient Fruit fell, the energy fluctuations emanating from the ancient tree did not weaken at all, and a dense green light permeated upwards from its roots.

At the same time, a rich vitality seemed to emanate from it.

Perceiving this movement, Ying Huanhuan and the others’ eyes immediately showed surprise.

Buzz!

The immortal essence ancient tree trembled, and suddenly, a speck of green light appeared from within the tree trunk. That astonishing vitality emanated from this speck of green light.

“immortal essence ancient seed!”

Seeing the green light, everyone was overjoyed.

Just then, the immortal essence ancient tree suddenly trembled violently, and a thick beam of green light abruptly shot out from the treetop, breaking through the forest and directly soaring into the clouds!

The green pillar of light broke through the forest and disappeared into the clouds.

Afterward, like a giant green light shield, it enveloped down from the sky. Such a commotion could be clearly seen within a hundred-mile radius.

Ying Huanhuan and the others, seeing this scene, quickly lost the joy on their faces.

A trace of panic flashed in the eyes of all three of them.

“Whoosh!”

Within the forest, Yuan Fang was also startled by this commotion and quickly swept over with more than a dozen Disciples.

“There’s very bad news. Earlier, we found traces of some figures around the mine. They are probably the Demon Mark Crowd,” Yuan Fang glanced at the green light and said somewhat helplessly.

“Demon Mark Crowd?”

Hearing this, Ying Huanhuan and the others’ expressions all changed drastically.

“Let’s collect the seed first. No matter who the enemy is, they shouldn’t even think of snatching the immortal essence ancient seed!”

Lin Fan, however, remained calm and said in a deep voice.

“Mm,” Ying Huanhuan stabilized her emotions upon hearing this, quickly stepped forward, and directly plunged her jade-like hand into the pillar of light, then grabbed the most dazzling speck of light within it.
