Starting as a clan leader: My rules are a bit wild.

"Oh, what a pity!"

"But there is still a chance."

Zhu Rourong watched the old turtle fleeing, feeling sorry for it, but he stroked his chin and kept thinking and pondering: "I was definitely not wrong just now, it is actually very interested."

"I don't know why, but I seem to be a little bit repulsed."

"Look for more opportunities to get close to it and try to persuade it. It will agree sooner or later. It would be such a waste if we don't make use of such a good bloodline!"

As a "professional breeder", Zhu Rourong has an almost obsessive pursuit of "hybrid varieties".

Or···
He wanted to research and develop a more useful spiritual beast on his own.

And now, initial results have been achieved.

For example, by hybridizing other "spiritual chickens" and "spiritual ducks" with Bazhen chickens and Bazhen ducks, although the success rate is low, some hybrid varieties have been successfully produced.

Not named yet.

The taste, flavor, and nutrition of eggs are not as good as those of Bazhen Chicken and Bazhen Duck, but these hybrids also have advantages, that is, they grow faster than Bazhen Chicken and Bazhen Duck! The frequency of laying eggs is higher! The self-hatching rate is almost full!
Moreover, its taste, texture and nutrition are far superior to ordinary magic chickens and ducks.

It is not of much use to the Lanyue Sect. After all, the Eight Treasures Chicken and Eight Treasures Duck of the Lanyue Sect have already become large-scale. However, this thing can generate income!
With this kind of quality, if it is sold, won’t people rush to buy it?
How much money can this make?!

Relying on these hybrid chickens and ducks, Zhu Rourong has already earned his first pot of gold, and directly turned losses into profits. Not only does he no longer need subsidies from the sect, but he can also generate income for the sect.

This made Zhu Rourong even more excited and he paid more attention to the research on hybridization.

Besides him...
There is also a very important existence - Chaos Sky Pig!

Ever since this guy got used to the three thousand sows in his harem, he couldn't stop himself. Especially after the Beast Taming Sect became the Beast Taming Lineage, he completely let himself go and almost didn't want to come out of the brothel.

and···
It’s adventurous.

There are even three "giant dragons" that are pregnant with its flesh and blood and are carefully nurturing them.

As for what can be born...

Is it a pig with wings, or a dragon with a pig's head?

Hard to say.

You won’t know until you are born.

······
"This place is so evil!"

The old turtle left the Spirit Beast Garden, turned around, glanced at the place where artillery fire was raging from afar, shuddered, and left in silence.

It was afraid that if it stayed any longer, it would be defiled.

By then, even your pure heart will become impure!

"I won't watch it anymore. The Lanyue Sect is really too evil."

"but···"

"Why do I always feel a little bit nostalgic about it?"

"Besides, I didn't see any other 'turtles' just now. Sigh, are we going to turn them into turtles?"

"···"

"Pfft, why am I thinking about this?"

"I don't want to think about it anymore. I ...'ll go collect the so-called monthly allowance first."

"I just don't know. This Lanyue Sect is not even as big as Laiwu Island. How much can I get as a worshiper?"

curious?

The old turtle was not very curious.

Not even much expectation.

Although Lin Fan is strong, he discovered along the way that the strength of most disciples of Lanyue Sect is actually not as good as that of Laiwu Island. Although the atmosphere is very good, atmosphere cannot be used as food, right?
The monthly salary of Laiwu Island is just so-so and not worth my attention at all. What good things can the Lanyue Sect, which is smaller than Laiwu Island, have?

So, not expecting it at all.

"Just consider it a formality."

"Since we have come to the inland and will be staying here for a hundred thousand years, I still have to pay some attention to the ways of the world. After all, my life and death are in the hands of my master."

It sighed quietly.

I decided to just go through the motions and give him some face.

At least the master knows that I am still very obedient.

This will also reduce suspicion and trouble.

It seemed to be walking leisurely with its hands behind its back, but in fact, it was moving at an extremely fast speed, as if shrinking the distance into an inch, and soon arrived at the Alchemy Pavilion.

"you are?"

The deacon elder who was in charge of distributing the monthly allowance blinked and stared at the old turtle in front of him. Fortunately, the token hanging around its neck was quite eye-catching.

"A new worshiper?"

"Yes, that's right, new worshiper, come and collect your monthly salary." The old turtle maintained the most basic courtesy and politeness.

"Oh, sure. Sure."

The deacon elder smiled, then took out the jade slip for recording, and said: "Offering is the highest standard of treatment. The monthly basic pills are ten high-quality pills of the same realm."

"May I ask your name and current realm?"

The old turtle wanted to say Laiwu on the spot, but he remembered his master's warning not to reveal his identity, so he changed his words and said, "Just call me Old Turtle."

"As for the realm, the ninth realm."

"Old Turtle, Ninth Realm?"

The deacon elder calmly wrote down the relevant information and said, "Which stage is it in the early, middle or late stage of the ninth realm? I will arrange some pills for you."

Old turtle: “…”

How do you say that you are the best?
Oh, never mind. No need to explain it so clearly. It’s just a formality anyway.

"Late stage."

It answered casually.

"~!?"

The deacon elder was shocked.

Holding the offering token, based on the current strength of the Lanyue Sect, it is reasonable for him to have the ninth level of cultivation, but, the late ninth level? !

hiss! ! !
This level of cultivation is amazing!
"Ninth realm late stage, old turtle, according to our internal regulations, you can receive ten ninth-grade immortality pills every month. If it is not enough, you can get more."

He immediately took out a jade bottle and handed it to the old turtle, and said: "In addition, we can only receive elixirs here, but for the offerings, there are other benefits."

"Such as other resources needed for cultivation, and offerings can be made to the Huode Peak lineage, so that the Huode Peak lineage can refine a life-saving magic weapon for you."

"Now, the Huode Peak lineage has also grown a lot. If there are suitable materials, and the right time, place and people are all right, it is possible to refine imperial weapons."

"Perhaps you don't lack an imperial weapon, but it's always good to have one more."

"But the prerequisite is that you provide the materials yourself."

"Huode Peak can help you refine it for free."

"?!"

The old turtle is numb.

Damn it! ! !

Help me refine the imperial weapon for free, and I only need to provide the materials? !

This···

Wait, what did he just say?

Ten pills of immortality?
They are all ninth rank? !

If you don’t have enough to eat, you can still ask for more?!

no···
Am I fucking dreaming?
The old turtle only felt his head buzzing. The jade bottle in his hand, which was clearly as light as a feather, seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds, causing his whole body to tremble slightly.

Mudd!

What kind of immortal sect is this? What kind of immortal treatment is this? !
This month's example...

It's against the will of heaven, isn't it?!

But it was a little bit unbelievable.

The Lanyue Sect doesn't look that great. The territory is not very big, and there are not many people. It's just that the spiritual medicines are a little bigger, and there are more disciples from the Huode Peak and Danta lines...
Why is this treatment so incredible?

really!
It suppressed its shock, opened the jade bottle with trembling hands, and took a closer look.

All ten immortality pills were flashing with nine halos, and the halos were stable and bright, with distinct layers...
The rich medicinal aroma wafts into the air the moment the jade bottle is opened.

"Gulu!"

The old turtle couldn't help swallowing.

The saliva was so large that when it was swallowed directly, a big lump appeared in the throat.

"It really is ten ninth-grade immortality pills. Moreover, this level... even among the ninth-grade ones, it is the best choice. I'm afraid that even if a so-called alchemy grandmaster of a human cultivator were to make it, the success rate wouldn't be high, right?"

"this···"

"Ten per month as a minimum?"

"No, what kind of magical place is this?"

"What the hell was Laiwu Island before?!"

The old turtle shook all over, resisting the urge to swallow the jade bottle and the pill in one gulp, and thought to himself, "Besides, since this pill is real, then what he just said about the other resources and the benefits of refining the imperial weapon for free is probably also true."

"In other words..."

"I, Old Turtle, can also have my own imperial weapon?!"

Ferocious beast...
They are strong, but they also have many limitations, or in other words, there are many things they are not good at.

After all, when the ferocious beasts are not strong enough, they have no intelligence at all and only eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep instinctively. They are also extremely murderous. The only result for those who are weak is death.

Even though he was the only one surviving among a large number of ferocious beasts, and his strength increased with intelligence, he still missed too much.

This makes it almost impossible for them to touch upon the fields of alchemy, weapon refining, and formations.

Moreover, the harsh environment around them forces them to become stronger and stronger. If they don’t become stronger, they will die!
So, don’t say that they have no access to it and no relevant inheritance. Even if they do have it, they don’t have the energy to figure it out. If they have that time, they might as well improve their combat power honestly.

This results in the fact that even someone with the strength and vision of the old turtle does not actually have his own magic weapon.

Or···
There is no precedent of using magic weapons against ferocious beasts!

At most, you can strengthen a certain part of your body and use it as a killer weapon.

But if I could possess the Emperor's weapon and refine it into my own magical weapon...

hiss!
Wouldn't my combat power soar instantly?

But what kind of imperial weapon should be refined?

Its eyes rolled around.

"Have it!"

Turtle shell!!!

Fierce beasts all strengthen the more prominent and powerful parts of their bodies to turn them into killer weapons, but what is my strongest point? It's hard to say!
But as a 'turtle', the tortoise shell is absolutely extremely important, and has amazing defensive power.

If he could further refine his tortoise shell into an imperial weapon, then... who else in the Xianwu Continent could break his defense?
Even if an immortal descended to earth, I could resist a few waves, right? !
"!"

"Yes, just refine the 'Turtle Shell' of the Emperor's level!"

The old turtle figured it out.

What could be more important than staying alive?
If the power of the imperial weapon was added to his tortoise shell on its current basis, how could he have been subdued by his master in an instant?

Moreover, he is now the guardian beast of the Lan Yue Sect, and a sect will sooner or later run into trouble. When that time comes, I am afraid that he will have to stand up and fight with others. How dangerous is fighting?
If you turn the turtle shell into an imperial weapon, wouldn't you become stronger and more resilient?

Nothing wrong, just a turtle shell!
"But first, take some drugs."

······
The old turtle found an uninhabited mountain stream and felt his saliva flowing. He could no longer hold it in.

"Ouch!"

He swallowed the entire bottle and the medicine in one gulp.

The next moment, its entire body glowed with colorful light, and its cultivation, which had stagnated for who knows how many years, actually began to grow slowly...

After a day and a night, the old turtle suddenly opened his eyes.

Feeling his own cultivation and aura obviously increasing, he couldn't help but tremble all over and almost cried with joy.

"what!!!"

It roared: "Awesome!!!"

But then, its expression changed again.

"this···"

"What kind of magical day is this?!"

“I used to have a very hard life!”

"That damn Zhou Xingchen even lied to me, saying that my life was thousands or even tens of thousands times better than other beasts. I actually believed him, but in the end, it was all bullshit!"

"What kind of hard times were those?!"

"grass!"

The old turtle was in a very complicated mood at this moment.

It originally thought that it was forced into slavery and that its future days would be extremely miserable. Even if it thought positively, they would certainly be much worse than when it was incarnated on Laiwu Island.

Therefore, it has already prepared itself mentally for hard times.

The result is now...
"???"

Is this a fucking hard life?
Bah! I used to live a miserable life!

I won't live like this even if you let me ascend to heaven right away. I have to wait for a full 100,000 years before I can ascend? No, I have to stay as long as I can, until I can't stay any longer!
go?
Take a hammer!

At this moment, the old turtle had made up his mind that he would not leave even if the 100,000 years were up.

Even if you have to beg me with tears, you have to stay.

Before, it was secretly thinking about practicing faster and ascending as soon as possible, so that it could get rid of Lin Fan's control in advance. After all, it was a natural process for it to ascend, and you couldn't stop me, right?
But now it seems that there is no chance of ascension.

I have to stay even if it means giving up some of my skills!
"By the way, let's go to Huode Peak and think about refining the imperial weapon..."

At this moment, the old turtle was full of energy and extremely excited.

Like to sleep?

sleep you paralyzed up hi!
When I was incarnated as Laiwu Island before, I went to sleep because I was bored and didn’t see much hope. Now, why should I sleep?
······
"So, by offering the turtle sacrifice you mean..."

Huode Peak lineage, the meeting hall.

Huo Kunlun and the elders blinked their eyes: "Want to refine an imperial weapon?"

"Yes." The old turtle nodded: "I heard that you can refine it for free?"

"As a worshiper, you do have this benefit." Huo Kunlun nodded: "However, refining an imperial weapon is no small feat. Although we may be able to do it, it also requires the right time, place and people."

"Elaborate!"

"The so-called time is to find the right opportunity."

"As for location, it depends on the materials. As for people... it's likely that we'll have to borrow someone from the alchemy lineage."

"Also, you have to prepare the main ingredients yourself."

"Prepare, of course I will prepare it myself!" The old turtle nodded, then suddenly shrank back.

A sound of 'jiu~'.

It actually slid out of its tortoise shell naked, without any clothes on, and patted the tortoise shell standing there with one hand, saying: "My tortoise shell is pretty good, can you help me refine it into an imperial weapon?"

Everyone: "..."

It's really an eyesore!
Fortunately, all the people present were grown men, otherwise...

Otherwise, it’s bullshit. Even if they are all grown men, it’s still very eye-catching!
Everyone was speechless.

Huo Kunlun said quietly, "Why don't you put on some clothes first?"

Old Turtle: "...Why am I wearing that? When have you ever seen a ferocious...spiritual beast wearing clothes? I haven't transformed into a human form!"

"Well, well, well...when in Rome, do as the Romans do."

Huo Kunlun casually flipped his hand and refined a piece of clothing of ordinary magic weapon level for the old turtle to put on.

“It feels weird.”

The old turtle was not used to wearing clothes, but now he was asking for help, and since others had said so, he couldn't say much or refute, so he could only nod in agreement.

"So what do you think of this turtle shell?"

Huo Kunlun and others immediately went forward to check. After a moment, they were all shocked and looked shocked.

"This turtle shell???!"

"What an amazing turtle shell!"

"It is covered with the aura of time and traces of countless wars. I'm afraid its defensive power is not weaker than that of the imperial weapon, right?!"

"These patterns are actually in line with the laws of nature. Are there laws operating on their own?"

"this···"

"It's simply the best refining material!"

"If this tortoise shell is used as the main material to refine the imperial weapon, it is simply..."

"No, it's just a semi-finished product. When refining other imperial weapons, we only have a 50% success rate at most, but this tortoise shell has at least a 90% success rate, or even... 100%!"

They were all stunned.

This turtle shell is really cool!
It is not weaker than the imperial weapon, and is completely natural. It is even clearly a "dead object", but it can operate those special laws on its own, giving it special effects.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t accept it!
"So, there's no problem?" The old turtle's eyes lit up.

"Of course!" Huo Kunlun nodded confidently.

Others are excited too.

As the saying goes, seeing prey makes one happy. These grown men have been dealing with weapon refining for half their lives, so naturally they are really passionate about it. Now, seeing such top-quality materials, and even soon a powerful imperial weapon will be born in their hands, who can not be happy?
"Old Turtle, your turtle shell... we accept it!"

"I will definitely be able to refine a powerful imperial weapon for you!"

"If it doesn't work, bring your head to me!"

"That's not necessary." The old turtle thought to himself, I'm just a slave, how dare I let you 'take my place'? Unless I don't want to live anymore!

"I am quite curious, how strong is it after you refine it?"

"It's hard to say, but the degree of improvement is no less than that of ordinary imperial weapons!"

"That's good!"

"I leave it to you. Tell me when you're done!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Turtle. We will go all out and refine it as soon as possible!"

A group of people surrounded the turtle shell, unable to take their eyes away, and no one even paid attention to the old turtle.

The old turtle was very satisfied when he saw this.

After he left, Huo Kunlun immediately contacted Huo Yun'er and asked her to ask Xiao Ling'er to come and help.

Xiao Ling'er is a righteous person.

Although he had just returned from overseas less than half a day ago, when he heard that he wanted to help refine the imperial weapons, he immediately rushed over to help.

"Good nephew."

Huo Kunlun smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. It's really embarrassing to say that you just came back and we have to trouble you again. It's really... embarrassing." "What are you talking about, uncle?"

Xiao Ling'er shook her head and chuckled: "We are all family."

"Besides, I have seen the refining of imperial weapons once before at the Tianjiao Grand Gathering. Now I have the opportunity to participate in it, which is also my honor."

"Not only can it broaden my horizons, but it can also improve myself, killing two birds with one stone!"

"She's really good at talking, and her character is impeccable." Jin Zhen was filled with emotion: "With a senior sister like you, the Lanyue Sect will have no worries about its prosperity."

"Elder Jin is joking."

Xiao Linger said seriously: "The Lanyue Sect is what it is today, all thanks to Master's good teaching. I am just doing what I can do."

Everyone: "..."

······
Soon after, refining began.

What Xiao Ling'er has to do is very simple, which is to make a "human-shaped flamethrower".

You just need to adjust the strange fire in time according to the requirements of Huo Kunlun and others.

And with their combined efforts, the aura of the tortoise shell became even stronger.

Auxiliary materials were thrown in one by one, melted, and then fused with the tortoise shell. The original bone tortoise shell gradually showed a hint of metallic luster...
The whole process lasted for a full half month.

But it went surprisingly smoothly!

"It's almost done!"

Jin Zhen wiped the sweat off his face, his whole body trembling with excitement: "It went so smoothly!"

"I didn't expect that my first time participating in the refining of an imperial weapon would go so smoothly. Wouldn't I be able to brag about it for the rest of my life?"

"It's just the right time, right place and right people!" Huo Kunlun was also very excited, but he couldn't say it out loud. You have to be fucking low-key and pretend!

"Besides, this material is special and I'm afraid it will be hard to come across it again in the future. Moreover, we have niece Ling'er who is so devoted to helping us. If this doesn't go well, wouldn't it make us look too incompetent?"

"But... don't say any more. This is already the last step. Don't let your carelessness ruin everything!"

"That's natural."

Everyone immediately kept silent and then put all their efforts into refining it.

Another half day later.

"become!!!"

Huo Kunlun roared.

boom!
The entire Huode Peak was shaking violently.

Immediately, countless black clouds gathered above the sky, thunder rumbled, and a natural disaster came!
"Emperor's Arms Tribulation!"

Huo Kunlun and others held their breath.

Jin Zhen was a little nervous: "It should be able to hold up, right?"

Huo Kunlun: "..."

"can!"

He spoke with certainty.

When the imperial army is formed, there will be disasters. If it survives, it will be an imperial army. If it can't survive? It will be directly destroyed!

But this tortoise shell is a defensive imperial weapon, and it is proficient in defense. It can't be that it can't even survive the imperial weapon calamity, right? Wouldn't that make me and my group seem really weak?
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the first bolt of lightning struck.

The elders of the Huode Peak lineage were all nervous, and couldn't even bear to look at the tortoise shell slowly spinning in the air.

"Hold on!"

Huo Kunlun let out a low shout.

They quickly opened their eyes to look.

Above the vast sky, the silver-white tortoise shell slowly rotated, scattering a variety of laws and divine patterns, just like before, without any change.

Everyone was stunned.

"This...hasn't started yet?"

At this moment, the second thunderbolt fell.

This time, they saw it clearly.

The thunder in the sky was dark purple, thick and shocking, like a roaring thunder dragon, striking the turtle shell fiercely. This shocking scene made everyone feel nervous.

However, the turtle shell did not move at all, and there was no reaction at all.

Instead, the fierce thunder dissipated directly.

Everyone: "?!"

"what?!"

They were stunned.

"This thunderbolt, is it fake?!"

Xiao Ling'er saw it clearly. She took a deep breath and said quietly, "Tell me, is there a possibility..."

"Is it because the imperial weapon you refined is too powerful? A mere thunderbolt can't even tickle it, so this is the case?"

"this?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment...
I kind of doubt myself.

Is the imperial weapon I made really so awesome! ?

But soon, the facts told them the answer.

Nine consecutive heavenly thunders, each one more powerful than the last, struck the tortoise shell with incredible precision. However, the tortoise shell remained as steady as a rock and did not move even a bit, steadily 'taking' all the heavenly thunders!
When the calamity clouds dispersed, everyone hurriedly used their spiritual sense to investigate.

It turned out that the turtle shell did not have the damage that everyone was worried about, not even a scratch as small as a hair. Even the place that was struck by lightning was still the same as before, without even changing color or getting dirty!
"!!!"

"Its defensive power..."

Huo Kunlun scratched his head: "I can no longer estimate it."

"So strong!" Elders including Jin Zhen were extremely excited.

"Then tell Mr. Turtle."

"This time, I have accomplished my mission!"

Huo Kunlun also smiled.

It was so smooth and so strong. It's really worth being happy.
······
"Done? So quickly?!"

When the old turtle saw the silvery-white and obviously more sacred 'metal turtle shell', its eyes lit up. At this moment, it had only one feeling in its heart - cool!
So damn handsome, so handsome!

"And this aura is indeed that of an imperial soldier!"

"Hahaha, thank you all for your hard work!"

In the past half month, the old turtle ate a few more pills and learned some ways of the world. At this moment, of course he would not just say thank you with two words.

While expressing thanks, it brought out a large pile of 'seafood' from somewhere!
They are at least at the seventh realm, most of them are at the eighth realm, and there is even a ninth realm 'king crab'. Although they have been dead for a long time, the physical strength of these strong men is very high, and even after a long time, their meat is still fresh and tender.

"You guys divide it among yourselves. I'm going to try out my new imperial soldier first. Hahahaha!"

"···"

Xiao Ling'er: "..."

Huo Kunlun and others: "..."

"this?"

"Niece, look?" Huo Kunlun and others naturally wanted to accept them. These were all good things. If they were shared with the disciples, they would greatly enhance their strength!

"Please accept it."

Xiao Linger smiled and said, "This is the thank-you gift from the old turtle, isn't it?"

"Then we'll accept it, but you must take this big crab back with you, niece!"

"You've been the one who's worked the hardest these days. We can't let you work in vain, because that would make us, the Huode Peak clan, look like worthless people."

Seeing Huo Kunlun say this, Xiao Linger naturally had no way to refute and could only accept it: "Thank you very much."

"correct."

Huo Kunlun lowered his voice and asked, "How much do you know about this old turtle worshiper?"

Xiao Ling'er shook her head gently: "I know very little."

"However, if you want to know, I can ask Master. I think Master will not hide anything."

"That's not necessary." Huo Kunlun shook his head: "Why bother the Sect Master with such a small matter?"

"I'm just curious. It's so powerful and generous, and all of it is 'seafood'. I'm afraid it's related to overseas..."

"It doesn't matter."

Xiao Ling'er smiled and said, "I can guess what you are worried about, but since Master has not stopped it, there is no need to worry."

"That's true."

Huo Kunlun breathed a sigh of relief: "What kind of existence is the Sect Master? Since he didn't stop it, I was indeed worrying for no reason."

"···"

······
The old turtle ran to the mountain stream where he had practiced recently, and after making preparations, he suddenly headed towards the turtle shell.

Boom! ! !
The turtle shell shook, but it was only a shake.

As it vibrated, infinite laws gushed out, constantly dissolving the offensive. At the same time, an astonishing recoil force came from the tortoise shell.

The old turtle only felt a sharp pain on his forehead, followed by a dizziness, and then he was thrown dozens of miles away!
"?!"

"this???"

Touching the package that appeared on his forehead, the old turtle was shocked, but also overjoyed: "Great!!!"

“It’s so shocking?!”

The strongest part of a ferocious beast is its body!

In that attack just now, it had already exerted almost 90% of its strength, and it was concentrated without dispersing, attacking only "one point"!
As a result, the tortoise shell only vibrated slightly after the full-strength headbutt, but it injured itself and bounced so far? !

Even this is without any human control, it is its own power!
Once I refine it and add my own strength, how powerful and amazing will it be? !
"hiss!"

The old turtle instantly took a breath of cold air, and was so surprised that he was speechless. At this moment, he could no longer hold back, and immediately drilled into the turtle shell, spitting out a mouthful of essence and blood while going all out to refine it.

It can't refine magic weapons, but it can refine treasures!

As for why he wanted to spray out the essence and blood, it was naturally to refine it into his own innate imperial weapon!

······
Inside the Moon Palace.

Lin Fan withdrew his gaze.

"It seems that this old turtle has completely returned to his heart."

"Alright."

"after all···"

"I will be leaving soon. I don't know how long I will be gone and what I will experience."

"Its strength has increased, especially its defense has increased to such an abnormal level. I'm afraid that even if a Saint Lord comes to attack, it will be able to protect us for a while."

"Only then can I leave with peace of mind!"

"..."

Time always slips away inadvertently.

Now, there are only a little over two years left before the five-year agreement made with Gu Xinglian, the Holy Mother of All Flowers.

It may seem like a long time, but for a monk, two years is really nothing.

Especially since he was already a cultivator of the ninth realm, it was possible that two thousand years would pass during one retreat, let alone just two years?
However, as Lin Fan is a powerful person, he naturally does not need to be in seclusion for such a long time.

But even so, two years is not enough.

The main reason why I felt that every year passed very slowly before was that there were too many things to do!
Endless crises, endless troubles, endless enemies to kill, endless monsters to fight...

There are so many things to do that it is natural that time will feel like it passes very slowly.

But now, most of the crises have been resolved!
The Haoyue Sect has become the Haoyue lineage, the Lanyue Sect has greatly increased in strength, the Ximen family and the Zhou family are completely wiped out, and the overseas behind them can no longer cause any waves, it can even be said that it is a once and for all solution.

Buddhism? Wow!
Even the black lotus of the century-long catastrophe has been dealt with...
Now that we count them carefully, it turns out that the Lan Yue Sect really has no hostile forces.

Even if there is, as long as the holy land does not come in person or a large number of top-notch forces join forces, the current strength of the Lanyue Sect is enough to deal with it.

But···
The Lanyue Sect didn't provoke anyone, so why would those holy places or a large number of forces join forces to target them?
"Perhaps, we only need to pay attention to the 'Day of Disaster' every year."

"And there may be potential threats..."

Lin Fan counted carefully on his fingers.

"The Shi family is one of them. As one of the strongest immortal ancient clans in the Northeast, their strength may not be weaker than the current Lanyue Sect. And if they join forces with other forces..."

"Have to guard against it."

"In addition, there are several forces such as Xinghai League and Yanyang Palace. I defeated them when they besieged Haoyue Sect and forced them to flee the Western Region. Now they are still lingering in Zhongzhou."

"Although they seem relatively weak now, if they encounter something unexpected or hook up with a big boss, they may pose a threat."

"Besides, there are a few holy places. However, as long as Gu Xinglian and the Guantian Mirror are here, if other holy places want to take action, Gu Xinglian will at least remind me."

"so···"

"There aren't many potential threats within Xianwu Continent, and they're not too difficult to deal with."

"But speaking of external threats..."

Lin Fan was silent for a moment.

Threats from outside?
That's hard to say.

It mainly revolves around the protagonist template disciples.

First of all, there is a high probability that the plot of the seven gods descending to the mortal world in "Perfect" will happen, and I am afraid that it is most likely not seven gods at that time, but "seventy gods".

There will inevitably be a war between the two sides.

Secondly, because of the Meteor Tears incident between Jiang Li and Qin Yu, it is very likely that people from the upper realm will come as well. However, if it is handled properly here, it may not necessarily be a life-and-death struggle.

Other protagonist templates may also attract people from the upper realm.

There is also the fisherman He Qiang. This old guy directly fished up a god's tomb. If that god's tomb is really someone's ancestral tomb... once it comes to the door, it will be very difficult to deal with it.

And there is the Sword Energy Wall over there on Sanye’s side!
"I don't know what the situation is like in Sanye now, and what happened at the Sword Qi Great Wall."

"Ugh."

Lin Fan rubbed his brows and said, "If you don't think about it, you won't know. If you think about it, you'll be shocked."

"I thought I was safe for the time being, but it turned out to be exactly what they said, right?"

"There are no enemies in the world, and the enemies come from the sky?"

"However, the Lanyue Sect is not yet invincible in the world."

“There’s still a long way to go.”

"But no matter what, improving strength is the first factor."

"You don't need to worry about my cheating disciples. They all have their own paths and are already on the right track. As long as they move forward steadily, that's fine."

"As for me···"

"But we need to devote all our efforts to improving our realm while creating the law."

"It must not be easy for something that could make Gu Xinglian so fearful and look for help!"

"···"

The next day, Lin Fan announced that he would go into seclusion.

All matters of the Lanyue Sect are decided by the elders and Xiao Ling'er.

But few people know that before Lin Fan went into seclusion, he called Xiao Ling'er to Lanyue Palace alone to have a detailed talk with her.

"Master, you asked me to come?"

"A little curious." Lin Fan smiled and said, "Sit down, Tiana, make some tea."

"Yes, Master."

Tiana made two cups of tea properly, then walked out the door and stood still.

"You have already practiced the Burning Flame Technique to perfection, right?"

"Ah."

Xiao Linger nodded. She did not hide anything from Lin Fan: "The Burning Flame Art is a rather special technique. At the beginning, it was only the lowest grade yellow-level technique, and even the yellow-level grade was barely good enough."

"But this technique can refine strange fire and control it with the Burning Flame Technique."

"It can even allow multiple types of fire to coexist peacefully in the body, and even fuse them..."

"And for every additional type of strange fire, you can also unlock one of the nine transformations of the secret technique Immortal Fire that comes with the Burning Flame Technique."

"Now, I already possess nine kinds of strange fires. The Burning Flame Art is now an 'immortal-level' skill, and the Immortal Fire Nine Transformations can also be opened to the ninth transformation. Not only can I use the Great Sun Burning Sky composed of nine kinds of strange fires, but I also have the Nine-Colored Buddha Angry Lotus that Master knows..."

"The development of the Burning Flame Technique has almost reached its limit."

Lin Fan nodded slightly: "As expected, it is exactly as I guessed, but have you ever thought about what would happen if you got more strange fire next time?"

"this···"

Xiao Linger scratched her head: "I have considered it before."

"I think there are two options."

"One is to give it to Yun'er. She is also practicing the Burning Flame Technique now, but she is suffering from a shortage of strange fires. Except for the Sky Dragon Bone Fire, all other fires are replaced by beast fires. Although they are not bad, they are not the right way after all."

"The second is to let the Immortal Devouring Flame devour it, thus making the Immortal Devouring Flame even more powerful. This way, it can also improve my strength."

"Actually, you have a third choice."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you remember how the Hundred Forging Divine Fire came about?"

"Of course I remember. He was a weapon refiner who claimed that there was nothing he could not refine. Later, others questioned him. In order to prove himself, he went through untold hardships and refined many kinds of strange fires that were ranked low or even unranked. In the end, he refined the Hundred Forged Divine Fire."

Xiao Linger's eyes were filled with longing: "This is also the only man-made strange fire in the strange fire rankings."

"That's right." Lin Fan nodded and smiled, "So, if he can do it, you can probably do it too."

"If you find more strange fires that can be fused with the strange fire you currently have, not only the Immortal Devouring Flame, but also other strange fires can be fused."

"After the fusion, your strength will definitely increase."

“Besides that, you might be able to try to improve and perfect the Burning Flame Technique, taking it to a higher level so that you can fuse ten, eleven, or even dozens of different kinds of fire!”

"in this way···"

"The Immortal Fire changes ten times, changes a hundred times..."

Xiao Linger's expression straightened: "What does Master mean?"

"Believe in yourself." Lin Fan smiled and said, "Your future is far more exciting than you can imagine, and your limits are far beyond your imagination."

"Perhaps one day, you will have your own realm."

"what?!"

Xiao Linger blinked.

She understood what Lin Fan meant.

But can I really do it?

but···
If the Master says I can...
"Yes, Master!"

"I will definitely work hard!" (End of this chapter)
