Above the lush green peaks, there is a faint mist, making it look like a fairyland.
A graceful figure emerged on the top of the green peak.
The girl was wearing a light green dress, her long black hair was tied up casually, flowing over her slender waist, and finally vertically to her delicate hips. The breeze blew her black hair, making her look otherworldly and otherworldly.
And that beautiful face made even the whole world dim. A pair of moving bright eyes revealed an ethereal meaning, as if it were the deepest starry sky, making it difficult for people to look away once they look at it.
One glance can conquer a city, and another glance can conquer a country.
She is so stunningly beautiful, truly a person who can topple a country. Facing such a girl who was born with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, even the most perfect man would seem to feel ashamed in front of her. Such a person can only be found in the world.
"Hey, long time no see, Xun'er..."
Suddenly, the space in front of the girl was torn apart, and Lin Ran's figure emerged from it. Seeing the beautiful lady, of course he wanted to say hello, but when his eyes fell on Xun'er, he swallowed back the words that were on his lips.
Yes, in addition to the stunningly beautiful Xun'er, there was another figure beside Xun'er.
It's just that the figure looks extremely ordinary... No, it can't even be described as ordinary, because even if the figure is standing in front of you, you can't detect his existence, as if this person doesn't exist in the world at all.
There is no doubt that there are only a few people in the entire Douqi Continent who can achieve this level, and the person in front of him is one of them.
One of the strongest men in the world, the patriarch of the Ancient Clan, Gu Yuan, a nine-star Dou Sheng!
"Hello, Patriarch Gu Yuan."
Looking at the back, Lin Ran's eyes showed a trace of horror. Even though he had already broken through to the heavenly realm of soul at this moment, in his perception, there was no trace of breath in front of him at all, as if this person and even the space he was in did not exist. But when he looked with the naked eye, he could be sure that it was indeed a human figure. This contradictory perception seemed particularly strange.
The frivolous look quickly subsided, Lin Ran coughed lightly, and sat up straight.
Seeing Lin Ran's reserved look, Xun'er couldn't help but snort.
This guy is extremely frivolous when he's with me. He can be as shameless as he can be. I didn't expect that he could be so reserved.
"It seems like you and Xun'er get along very well."
Gu Yuan smiled faintly, his eyes moving slightly between Xun'er and Lin Ran: "I remember when I asked you to nurture Xun'er's fighting spirit for the first time, Xun'er was in a bad mood."
"Father!"
Xun'er was a little embarrassed and annoyed. She was really old and didn't want to bring up such a thing again!
Gu Yuan laughed loudly. The father and daughter looked very kind and filial. Lin Ran could only agree with him and laughed dryly. He didn't even dare to look at Gu Yuan secretly.
In front of such a powerful and terrifying figure, it seemed that any thought in his mind would be discovered by the other party, so he had to be careful.
Moreover, he had some conflicts with those people from the Ancient Clan before...
"Okay, you don't have to be so reserved. I asked you to come here today, firstly to warm up Xun'er's meridians, and secondly, to provide you with an extra layer of protection."
Gu Yuan smiled and said, "You have been making more and more noise recently, but I have to say that you did not disappoint me. Five-star Dou Zun peak, heavenly realm soul... I estimate that your alchemy skills should have reached the peak of the eighth level."
Hearing this, Lin Ran felt a little daunted, and a smile appeared on his face: "Patriarch Gu Yuan, you are joking. This little thing is not worth mentioning at all."
"You should be proud when you should be proud. Excessive modesty will make you look hypocritical." Gu Yuan smiled and said, "At your age, you have achieved this level. Even among the younger generation of my clan, only a few people can compare with you."
"Moreover, they have the blessing of blood, but you don't have the emperor's blood. Therefore, among all the young people I have ever seen, you can be regarded as the best."
"Thank you for the compliment, Patriarch Gu Yuan!" Lin Ran lowered his head and spoke quickly, but the corners of his mouth had already split to the back of his head.
In any case, Lin Ran could be proud of being praised like this by Gu Yuan, one of the strongest people on this continent. Even Xun'er looked at her father in astonishment.
Obviously, she was also surprised that Gu Yuan would speak so highly of Lin Ran.
Look how proud this guy is...
"Of course, you can't be too proud. Although you are extremely talented, your potential is just potential after all. Before you fully grow up, you will always be at risk of being strangled in the cradle. What's more, your style of doing things is too high-profile, and you have attracted countless powerful enemies. If those people target you, you will probably have a hard time." Gu Yuan said lightly.
Lin Ran was silent and nodded slightly.
"Of course, this is why I called you here."
"Hold your breath and concentrate. There is no need to resist."
Gu Yuan smiled slightly and raised his hand. The next moment, a tremendous force that Lin Ran could not resist at all emerged and directly merged into Lin Ran's body.
Lin Ran's heart trembled, and he dared not move at all. He could only endure it silently. After this power was completely integrated into his body, he breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously touched his forehead.
Although it feels bad to put your fate in the hands of others, Lin Ran does not resist.
Firstly, he had no ability to resist. Secondly, if he hadn't had Gu Yuan's power, he would have died at the hands of the three scorpion demons!
"With this power, even if you encounter an unstoppable enemy, you don't have to be afraid. As long as the enemy's strength has not surpassed mine, it will protect your life and bring you to Xun'er."
"Thank you, Patriarch Gu Yuan!" Lin Ran's face was full of joy.
"Um."
Gu Yuan nodded, glanced at Xun'er who was silent beside him, and smiled at Lin Ran: "There are still a few years before the coming-of-age ceremony. Thank you for your hard work during this period. I believe you will not let me down."
"Please rest assured, Patriarch Gu Yuan, I will never let you down!"
"Okay, and besides, you don't have to take the affairs of the younger generation in the clan too seriously. In order to prevent some unnecessary troubles, I will also give you a suitable identity to facilitate your travel in my ancient world." Gu Yuan said, paused slightly, took out a jade pendant and handed it to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran carefully accepted the jade pendant. Although he didn't know how much it was worth, he was able to see the flash of surprise in Xun'er's eyes.
Obviously, something that could surprise this young lady must be worth a lot of money!
"When you want to leave the ancient world, just activate this jade pendant, and someone will come to arrange everything for you."
As the last word of Gu Yuan fell, his figure slowly dissipated between heaven and earth. The empty space was free of any breath or fighting spirit, as if this place had never existed at all.
This terrifying method that came and went without a trace made Lin Ran extremely amazed. Even though he had reached the peak of the Five-Star Dou Zun, there was still a huge gap between him and the top powerhouses in this world!
"Everyone is gone, why are you still pretending to be serious?"
A light snort was heard, and Lin Ran came back to his senses. He turned his gaze back to Xun'er and grinned.
However, he did not touch or hug Xun'er like he did in Canaan College, but kept a certain distance from her.
After all, this is the ancient world, and Xun'er is their most precious treasure.
Although Xun'er has not yet participated in the coming-of-age ceremony, and the people of the ancient clan are unaware of the divine blood in Xun'er's body, Xun'er's talent has already been demonstrated. Coupled with her identity as Gu Yuan's daughter, Xun'er's status in the ancient world is still extremely transcendent.
God knows how many old monsters are watching this girl in secret!
If he acted recklessly, and one of those scary old guys couldn't hold back and slapped him to death, he would have nowhere to cry.
"Miss Xun'er, you are joking. The Gu Yuan clan leader is in a high position and has great power. It is my great honor that he can treat a useless little Karami like me like this. Naturally, my attitude should be better."
"hehe."
Xun'er sneered. Others might not know who Lin Ran was, but how could she not know? Nine out of ten words this guy said were nonsense!
"Okay, Miss Xun'er, according to Patriarch Gu Yuan's instructions, I should also warm up your meridians." Lin Ran coughed lightly and pretended to be serious, "After I finish warming up your meridians, I still have to go to Xingyun Pavilion."
"Xingyun Pavilion..." Xun'er frowned slightly and whispered, "Forcibly pulling you from the Black Horn Region like this shouldn't affect you in any way, right?"
"Well..."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Lin Ran smacked his lips and said, "To say it has no impact is too hypocritical. But those are just small things, not worth mentioning."
"Sorry." Xun'er opened her mouth, her red lips moved slightly, and whispered: "If it weren't for me, you would have a lot less trouble..."
"Hey, hey, hey, Miss Xun'er, what are you talking about? If it weren't for you, I would have been killed by my three old masters!" Lin Ran said with a serious face: "Miss Xun'er has been very kind to me. She has given me a new life."
"I can say responsibly that without Miss Xun'er, there would be no Lin Ran today, so Miss Xun'er, please don't say those nonsense. You have done me a great favor, a great favor!"
"If it weren't for the fact that your ancient clan is so awesome, and if I'm a man and Miss Xun'er is a woman, I would have pledged my love to you and come here to repay you!"
Hearing Lin Ran's slightly funny words, Xun'er's cheeks began to turn red. She glanced at Lin Ran with her beautiful eyes. Any words could have a different meaning coming out of this guy's mouth. What about pledgeing oneself to me? He was just talking nonsense and had no seriousness at all.
"Alright, alright, if you feel it's okay, go ahead. I won't bother to care about it anymore. Go and nourish your meridians. The sooner you finish, the sooner you can leave the Ancient Clan." Xun'er snorted, but she felt that her words had a different meaning, so she quickly added, "It's not that I want to drive you away. It's mainly because you know the situation in the clan. The last time in the academy was just a small matter. If those people knew that you came directly to this ancient world, you might..."
"Hey, isn't Miss Xun'er still here? I'm not afraid."
"Humph, I can't protect you."
Xun'er snorted softly, twisted her soft and slender waist, and walked towards the foot of the mountain with a blush on her cheeks.
Lin Ran chuckled and quickly followed Xun'er's steps.
At the same time, in the empty space in the sky, Gu Yuan's figure slowly emerged.
Looking at the young man and woman who left one after another, there was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, but then he seemed to think of something, his eyes moved slightly, and a figure suddenly appeared behind him.
"Patriarch."
"I remember...there's a little guy in the Xiao family."
"The one the clan leader is talking about should be the third young master of the Xiao family, Young Master Xiao Yan." The figure spoke in a low voice: "Young Master Xiao Yan has been practicing alone in the Northwest Continent since the three-year agreement, and after Yao Chen, he also received help from an unknown soul body, but I don't know the specific circumstances."
"However, according to the intelligence we got some time ago, Young Master Xiao Yan should be at the Dou Wang level, a fifth-rank alchemist, and he also possesses the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, which ranks 22nd on the Different Fire Ranking."
"good."
Hearing this, Gu Yuan nodded slightly, and the people behind him also bowed respectfully and disappeared on the spot.
Gu Yuan did not make any other moves. He just looked at the man and woman walking down the mountain with increasing satisfaction...
…
It has to be said that the concentration of the ancient clan's fighting spirit is truly terrifying.
Lin Ran has been to many good places, such as the Yunyu Sect, the Xingyun Pavilion, the Danta Tower, and even the holy land in the Yunlan Empire.
The fighting spirit in those places, both in concentration and intensity, is far superior to that of the outside world, but compared with the ancient world at this moment... it is really far behind.
Lin Ran was sure that with the strength of the ancient world's fighting spirit, even if a pig was placed here without practicing, it would probably have some cultivation and directly transform into a demon beast...
With the blessing of such strong fighting spirit, coupled with the environment of green mountains and clear waters, all worries seem to be completely abandoned. A day of fighting spirit cultivation ends quietly in this pleasant time.
During this day, no one disturbed Xun'er and Lin Ran, but this day was also the most reserved day for Lin Ran. Even Xun'er became a little uncomfortable because Lin Ran was too serious.
"Done!"
Lin Ran retracted his strong pure Yang fighting spirit, stretched himself lazily, and gently covered Xun'er's beautiful jade.
Xun'er, with a tired face, opened her eyes slightly and looked at Lin Ran's pretending to be serious, and couldn't help feeling a little funny.
"Um."
"The battle of tempers has ended, so I won't disturb Miss Xun'er's rest."
"Um..."
Lin Ran smiled, walked to the door, and prepared to push it open to leave, but at this moment, a low murmur like that of a mosquito or fly suddenly reached Lin Ran's ears.
"There is a special barrier in my room, you don't have to be so restrained..."
Lin Ran paused for a moment as he pushed the door open...
