In the secret room.
Lin Ran's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, a hint of joy flashed across his eyes, and then he quickly formed a strange seal with his hands, and a slightly strange shout came out of his mouth.
As the shout was uttered, the body of the Soul Palace Master in front of him trembled violently, and a rippling black mist spread out. A pair of eyes that were eerie like will-o'-the-wisp fire suddenly opened.
At the same time, a majestic aura without any emotion slowly emanated from the corpse.
The power was so strong that it was even stronger than Lin Ran's. The surrounding space even began to fluctuate violently due to this terrifying fighting spirit. Even the fighting spirit barrier set up by Lin Ran was caused by violent waves.
Dou Zun!
"Okay, okay, a one-star Dou Zun. This level of strength is worth all my hard work!"
Feeling the majestic atmosphere, Lin Ran laughed out loud.
A Dou Zun is different from a Dou Zong. When one reaches the first level of Dou Zun, he can truly master the power of space. With a wave of his hand, he can control the space to restrict the target or deal a fatal blow to it.
If it were an ordinary battle, ten peak nine-star Dou Zongs would not be a match for a one-star Dou Zun, because the power wielded by both sides is simply not on the same level.
Of course, perverts like Lin Ran and Xiao Yan, who mastered many strange fires in the original novel, are not included.
Generally, a truly powerful force has at least one Dou Zun in charge, because only a Dou Zun who truly masters the power of space can truly defend a region.
With this corpse soul puppet with the strength of a Dou Zun, the Shengyu Sect will be somewhat protected even if he is not there.
"It's time to see what's happening outside."
Lin Ran casually removed the Dou Qi barriers around him and pushed open the door. Before he could walk out of the room, the sound of breaking wind was heard quickly, and then several figures flashed and appeared beside Lin Ran.
"Master! Are you done with your retreat?"
"Master, I miss you so much~"
Qing Lin looked at Lin Ran with surprise on his face, and the little medical fairy even pretended to embrace Lin Ran, throwing herself into his arms, rubbing her little head against Lin Ran's arms.
During this period, they missed Lin Ran very much, especially the little medical fairy.
Qing Lin has already received the biggest reward, but she hasn't shown any sign of improvement. Now that Lin Ran has entered a state of cultivation, she has no chance at all.
Now that she has finally come out of seclusion, Xiao Yixian is naturally thinking about it a lot.
"You two girls..."
Lin Ran smiled and rubbed the little head of the Little Medical Fairy, then looked at the latecomer Lu Yi: "It seems that the sect is developing quite well?"
The man in green smiled and nodded slightly, but there was a hint of fatigue between his brows.
It is obvious that Lu Yi has been quite busy during this period.
"At present, the entire Black Horn Region has joined our Holy Sect. A few who disagreed have already disbanded themselves, but the Holy Orders from the Sect Masters of those Sects still need to be issued by you, the Sect Master."
"According to current statistics, a total of 75 sects have joined, of which 32 are Douling level, 35 are Douwang level, and 8 are Douhuang level. The distribution on the tokens..."
"Of course they are all silver orders."
Lin Ran said calmly: "Strength is not the only criterion, I am."
"I know what you are worried about, Green. People of different strengths have the same authority. The inner imbalance will most likely lead to vicious competition, conflict, and even division and fighting."
"But isn't that great?"
Lin Ran smiled faintly and said, "Only with enough competition can we stimulate younger and more passionate blood. Shengyu Sect needs this kind of blood."
"Besides, if the Holy Order is circulated, its value will increase, right?"
This is to transform the Holy Rain Sect's holy order from an identity token into a valuable material!
The ambition of the sect leader... is really so big that it's a bit scary.
Lu Yi shook her head helplessly and admired him in her heart. Suddenly, she noticed the puppet in black robe behind Lin Ran.
"Sect Master, this is..."
"Holy Sect Puppet."
Lin Ran waved his hand, and the corpse soul puppet came to Lin Ran obediently.
"When the Holy Sect was first established, it lacked a strong enough fighting force, so I refined some puppets like this."
"This guy has Dou Zun strength. Next, I will place him in the Black Horn Region. You can use the Jade Token to control him and solve some unnecessary problems."
"At present, there is one Dou Zong Dou Zun level puppet each, and there will be more puppets in the future. You can use the Jade Token to sense them, and you can also use the Jade Token to control them."
"Dou, Dou Zun?!"
After hearing Lin Ran's words, the three women were all a little surprised. They understood puppets, but they didn't quite understand puppets at the Dou Zun level.
Girls like Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin are only at the level of Grand Fighting Master. To them, a Fighting Master-level existence is like a god.
And at this moment, this god-like power can actually be mobilized and controlled by them at will.
this...
"After all, I won't stay in the Black Horn Region for a long time. With these puppets around, I feel at least a little more at ease." Lin Ran said with a smile.
There are still many strong people in the Northwest Continent. Although not as many as in Central China, there are also many Dou Zun strong people.
Places like the Heavenly Snake Palace and the Lion Nether Sect where Lu Yi originally lived, have powerful Dou Zun masters.
Although the Black Horn Region is far away from them, a collision with it is inevitable in the future. Having a Dou Zun-level puppet will undoubtedly be much more convenient.
"I will be heading to the Jiama Empire soon. I hope you, Luyi, will take care of the Saint Sect's affairs in the future."
"Master Sect Leader..." Lu Yi showed helplessness. She had been the one taking care of the sect since its establishment, while Lin Ran, the sect leader, was simply a hands-off boss.
There was nothing she could do. She was already on this pirate ship. What else could she do? She could only let it go.
"By the way, Sect Master, Han Feng said he has a few herbs that you need, and there is also a little girl who wants to see you." Lu Yi whispered, especially when he mentioned the little girl, his tone paused slightly.
"She said she was from Canaan College and called you... Big Brother?"
"Where is she?"
Lin Ran's mouth twitched slightly, and Zi Yan's pretty face suddenly popped up in his mind.
"It's in the lobby. I'll arrange for her..."
"Here, here!"
Before the man in green could finish his words, a little girl in white suddenly poked her head out from outside the house, looking expectantly at Lin Ran inside the house, her big black eyes filled with greed.
Seeing the little girl appear, the faces of the three women present all changed slightly, especially the one in green.
This is Lin Ran's retreat place. There are extremely strong fighting spirit seals around it to prevent Lin Ran's fighting spirit from leaking out and being disturbed by outsiders.
No one can enter here unless they are someone whose strength far exceeds Lin Ran's, or have Lin Ran's permission.
But this little girl actually...
The three women looked serious, but Lin Ran just laughed.
"How dare you run around like that."
"I, I have finished all my pills for several days, and I was really greedy, so..." Zi Yan walked into the house, with her hands behind her back, her little face slightly red, and she seemed a little embarrassed.
Lin Ran looked helpless.
The pills he gave Zi Yan were not simple. They were all fourth or fifth grade pills. If used for cultivation, they would be enough for a Dou Ling Dou Wang to practice for a year or two.
Zi Yan was so lucky. It had only been about a week, but this girl actually ate all of them like candy beans, and even finished them after several days.
"Pah, pah…"
Under the gaze of everyone, Zi Yan fiddled with a storage ring on her little finger and took out a large pile of medicinal herbs from it. There were so many medicinal herbs that they even made a rustling sound.
"I dug these up these days."
The big black eyes looked at Lin Ran expectantly, and said in a childish voice: "Brother, you said I could come to you when I ran out of food. Please make some for me. I'm starving."
"So many rare medicinal herbs!"
The Little Medical Fairy stared in amazement at the medicinal herbs that Zi Yan had brought out, covering her mouth in shock.
She was originally a doctor, and recognized the rarity and preciousness of these medicinal herbs at a glance. Even in the current inventory of the Holy Rain Sect, there were only a few of them. Where did this little girl come from, and how could she come up with so many rare medicinal herbs in one go.
"Hey, these herbs are good, right? I found them bit by bit!"
Zi Yan put her hands on her hips, looking very proud.
"Search, searched for it?!"
The three women were extremely surprised.
"This little girl has the natural instinct to sense treasures, so there's no need to be so surprised." Lin Ran said with a smile, and with a wave of his hand, he collected all the herbs, took out some pills from the storage ring and threw them to Zi Yan.
"You came just in time. I just happened to be going to Canaan College, so it's just right for us to go together this time."
"Eh? Are you going to the academy?"
Xiao Ziyan took the pill and couldn't wait to stuff it into her mouth. Crunching sounds came from her mouth, just like eating candy beans.
The three women were stunned by the way he took the pills. They wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.
There is such a way to eat elixirs in this world, it is really eye-opening!
"Yes, the Fallen Heart Flame in your inner courtyard is of some use to me, and this time I just want to take a look."
Lin Ran smiled and said, "By the way, I am still a guest elder of your Canaan College. You should also be considered my student, why don't you give me the respect of a teacher?"
"Do you want to take the pills with you?" Little Zi Yan blinked her eyes. Her cute appearance made Lin Ran laugh. Even the three girls were amused by this little foodie.
"By the way, you two should come with me."
Lin Ran turned around and said to Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian: "The Fallen Heart Flame can produce heart fire, which is good for tempering fighting spirit."
"Uh-huh."
"I will listen to you, Master."
"Without further delay, let's get going."
Lin Ran waved to Lu Yi, hugged Xiao Yixiang and Qing Lin, and then, under Zi Yan's surprised eyes, grabbed the back of the collar of the greedy ghost.
The next moment, a hole appeared in space, and Lin Ran stepped into it, disappearing on the spot with the three girls.
Only Lu Yi was left with a helpless look on his face. He looked at the Dou Zun puppet standing still and sighed.
"The Sect Master is really..."
"well."
…
Black Seal City is quite far away from Canaan College, but for Lin Ran, it is not a big deal.
Lin Ran, who was at the peak of Dou Zong, had already touched the limit of Dou Zun. It was naturally easy for him to travel through space at this distance.
In an instant, a space crack appeared above Canaan College.
"Is this Canaan College?"
Lin Ran and the other three looked down at the Canaan College from their vantage point. It would be more appropriate to describe it as a city rather than a college.
The entire Canaan Academy is stationed in the city of Canaan. The streets in the city are crowded and bustling. Even the big cities in the Gama Empire cannot compare to it.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
This level of prosperity is even comparable to some cities in Zhongzhou.
"This is Canaan City, and the academy is right in the center of Canaan City." Xiao Ziyan pointed in the direction of the city center while chewing the pill with a crunching sound, and spoke incoherently.
"But this is the outer courtyard. The inner courtyard is in the mountains of that mountain range. The Tianfen Refining Qi Tower you want, brother, is in the inner courtyard."
"But it's not easy for ordinary people to enter the inner courtyard. Without the permission of those old men, outsiders can basically not enter."
Zi Yan swallowed the pill, turned the finger that was pointing at her, and said proudly: "But don't worry, brother, I'm here, you can go anywhere in this academy!"
This guy relies on his natural talents and skills to act recklessly and do whatever he wants.
Lin Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and patted Zi Yan's little head.
"Although your innate skills are strong and you can sense good and bad luck, if you really encounter a tough guy, do you still have a chance to escape?"
"Those who drown in the lake are often those who understand and are good at water. Although you are naturally friendly to space, if you only rely on your innate skills, you will suffer a great loss in the future."
"Oh..." Zi Yan muttered, obviously not listening to Lin Ran's words. Lin Ran didn't say much and left with the three girls.
"There's no rush to go to the inner courtyard, let's go to the outer courtyard first."
"Yes, Master."
The four of them walked along the street.
Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin looked around curiously, as if they were amazed that such a powerful academy existed in the Black Horn Region.
Little Ziyan ate while walking, her little mouth full like a hamster with her cheeks bulging.
However, Lin Ran's gaze fell on a corner.
There, two old figures stood in the dark, with a faint aura. Who else could it be but the two Dou Zun of the ancient clan?
In response, Lin Ran did not say much, but just smiled indifferently, and then took the three women to stroll in the city.
"What is this kid doing in the outer courtyard? Isn't the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower in the inner courtyard?"
"I don't know, but this kid really has incredible luck. Look at those two little girls."
"Ah, the body of evil poison, the three-flowered pupil of the green snake... it is worthy of being a pure yang body!"
"Yes, ancient books have recorded that the ancient Chunyang Emperor had a life full of blessings and good luck, and he had many wives and concubines, but unfortunately he had no children. I wonder what will happen to this kid."
The two ancient tribe Dou Zuns murmured in amazement.
Whether it is the Evil Poison Body or the Green Snake Three-Flower Pupil, they are both unique physiques that are rarely seen in a hundred years. Now they have all gathered around Lin Ran, which makes them have to sigh at the power of the Pure Yang Body.
However, why did this guy come to the outer courtyard... Wait, could it be that!
As if they had thought of something, the faces of the two ancient clan elders suddenly changed, and they tore the space apart without any hesitation.
The next moment, Lin Ran's figure appeared beside the girl whom they were willing to sacrifice their lives to protect.
"Miss!"
"etc!"
Old Han grabbed Lin Ran's one arm and frowned, "Don't mess around. If this guy really wants to attack the young lady, we won't be able to catch up even if we are fast. Don't be nervous."
"But..."
Old Lin clenched his fists, staring at Lin Ran's grinning handsome face, as if he wanted to eat him alive!
In the sight of the two elders, by the side of a willow pond, a young girl in a light green dress stood gracefully. The breeze blowing towards her made her three thousand black hair that fell to her hips flutter slowly. As the hem of her skirt flew by, the girl's perfect outline was faintly revealed.
The girl looked at Lin Ran in front of her calmly, without saying a word, like a green lotus in the secular world, spotless.
"You are not from the academy, are you? Are you not afraid of punishment from the strong men in the academy for breaking into the academy like this?"
After a long silence, the girl suddenly spoke. Her ethereal and pleasant voice made people feel as if their souls were cleansed.
"I am not from the academy? How do you know?"
Lin Ran was a little curious.
"I can't sense your fighting spirit."
The girl's delicate and elegant face was quite serious. She shook her head and said softly, "Your strength and the completely restrained aura on you are simply not something that the students of the academy can possess... If the students of the Black Horn Region break into the academy without permission, the elders of the academy will probably be very unhappy. Please respect yourself."
"You are a smart girl. But how can you, a mere outer courtyard student, determine my identity?"
Lin Ran shook his head and waved his sleeves. In front of the girl's surprised eyes, he showed her the guest elder's order: "I am not only a member of this academy, but also an elder of the academy. As a student of the academy, you should address me as Elder."
"Elder?!"
The calm and composed girl's face was slightly stunned, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, followed by a hint of enlightenment.
"It turned out to be Elder Lin Ran. It is indeed Xun'er who was rude."
Lin Ran was not surprised at all that Xiao Xun'er knew his identity information. With two ancient clan Dou Zuns here, that old guy Su Qian would definitely report all his situations to Xiao Xun'er.
However, it is quite interesting that this little girl can be so calm and composed in front of me.
Lin Ran could feel that Xiao Xun'er's calmness was not a pretense, but a result of her absolute confidence in herself.
Moreover, Lin Ran knew very well that the source of this confidence was not from those two ancient clan Dou Zun...
"It seems that old fellow Gu Yuan must have a backup plan for his daughter."
Lin Ran narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at Xiao Xun'er. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth raised and revealed a smile.
Such an unscrupulous gaze made Xiao Xun'er's beautiful eyes suddenly widen. She was about to say something, but suddenly, Xiao Xun'er let out a muffled groan, and those beautiful eyes like autumn water suddenly surged with a tiny golden flame, and the red-gold fighting spirit burned out like a raging flame, swaying around her body.
"This is..."
Looking at the tiny golden flame in the girl's eyes, a hint of surprise appeared in Lin Ran's eyes.
Obviously, this flame should be the legendary Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame, which ranks fourth on the Strange Fire List.
But before he could make any move, the golden flames around Xiao Xun'er seemed to be attracted by something and actually rushed towards Lin Ran on its own.
"Miss!"
"Lin Ran, you dare to attack the young lady?!"
The moment the fighting spirit surged, the space around Lin Ran suddenly distorted, and the two ancient clan Dou Zuns, Old Han and Old Lin, appeared in an instant and protected Xiao Xun'er, with the aura of the venerables surging.
Lin Ran's eyes darkened: "You two old guys, look carefully, it's not me who attacked your young lady, it's your young lady who attacked me, okay!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the two ancient clan elders immediately frowned.
Looking carefully, they discovered that at this moment, the fighting spirit in Xiao Xun'er's body, which was burning like golden flames, was actually constantly surging towards Lin Ran, but Lin Ran did not make any move at all.
"Miss, what on earth is this..."
What is going on? !
The two venerable leaders of the ancient clan were a little dumbfounded at this moment and looked at Xiao Xun'er. There was a hint of confusion in Xiao Xun'er's eyes, as if the current situation was not what she intended.
The fighting spirit that was like golden flame merged into Lin Ran's body. After a few breaths, a hint of emerald-gold fighting spirit appeared in Lin Ran's body and merged into her body along with Xiao Xun'er's fighting spirit.
As the fighting spirit entered her body, Xiao Xun'er immediately let out a muffled groan, and the faces of the two elders suddenly changed drastically.
"Lin Ran! What on earth are you doing!?"
"You dare to attack the young lady? You are seeking death!"
"Looking for your mother, can you two idiots understand that it is your young lady's fighting spirit that is sticking to me!"
Lin Ran said sweetly, with a look of assholery on his face: "Do you think I want this? Believe it or not, if I withdraw my fighting spirit now, your young lady's fighting spirit will be disordered and her blood will boil!"
"Mr. Han and Mr. Lin, step back!"
Xiao Xun'er sighed softly, and she could feel it clearly.
As the Dou Qi in her body was exchanged with the Dou Qi in Lin Ran's body, the Dou Qi in her body was becoming increasingly strong, and her aura was also slowly rising.
She wanted to interrupt, wanted to withdraw her fighting spirit, but her fighting spirit refused to do so, as if it was clinging to Lin Ran!
"This..."
Elder Lin and Elder Han looked at each other, and both saw hesitation and disbelief in each other's eyes.
After thinking for a moment, Elder Lin gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Old Han, prepare a secret room for the young lady and this boy to prevent any accidents. I will go and check the ancient books!"
Since it concerns the young lady, according to the rules, he should report to his superiors first. However, Xun'er was not in any danger at the moment. Instead, her aura became stronger, which made him make another choice.
The young lady's stubbornness and her refusal to return to the clan had already displeased the elders and clan leader. If those guys knew about this accident, they would probably tear them to pieces!
"Okay!"
Now was not the time to say more, so Old Han nodded in agreement and waved his hand, locking the space where Lin Ran and Xiao Xun'er were, and forcibly moving them to a quiet and dark secret room.
And Old Lin tore open the space and disappeared.
The emerald-gold and scarlet-gold fighting spirits blended more and more, and the overflowing fighting spirit energy filled the entire secret room with a golden glow. The temperature in the air also began to rise inexplicably.
"The fighting spirits are blending, tempering and fusing... it's the strange fire! It's the strange fire in the young lady's body!"
Looking at the rising fighting spirit, Old Han seemed to understand something and his pupils suddenly shrank.
But the next moment, an extremely strong doubt emerged in his eyes.
The Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame is the fire of the ancient clan's inheritance. How could such a strange phenomenon occur because of Lin Ran? !
