Chapter 139 - Chapter 224: Picking Fruits

The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit is one of the most precious treasures in the entire Douqi Continent.

If the Taixu Ancient Dragon or the Ancient Sky Phoenix could consume it, it would be able to evolve into a truly supreme beast with dragon and phoenix blood. Its noble bloodline would stand at the top of this continent!

Looking at the Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit in front of him, Lin Ran took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and prepared to take it into his pocket.

The conditions for collecting the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit were extremely complicated. Lin Ran originally had no idea how to collect it. However, the moment he approached the fruit, an inexplicable message was transmitted to Lin Ran's mind, allowing him to grasp everything.

To sum up, it means picking fruit with blood!

As one of the most precious treasures in the world, if you want to pick this fruit, you must have the blood of the ancient Taixu dragon or the ancient celestial phoenix. Otherwise, if you pick it by force, it will only damage the origin and be in vain.

"My pure Yang dragon blood should be fine, right? How about bringing Qing'er here now?"

"No, if Qing'er comes, she will definitely bring other strong men from the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan with her. If we are targeted by those guys, it will be troublesome."

"Since I took the initiative to approach, I have sensed it in my heart and have improved it. There should be no problem..."

Lin Ran muttered as he cut his palm and let his own blood drip onto the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

As soon as the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit came into contact with Lin Ran's blood, it burst out with a dazzling light, and then the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit turned into a golden and purple liquid, gathering in Lin Ran's palm.

Then it quietly merged into Lin Ran's body.

When the liquid disappeared, a pattern appeared on the palm of Lin Ran's hand. It looked like the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

"Huh, I finally got it."

Looking at the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit in his palm, Lin Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief. The purpose of coming to this relic was finally successfully accomplished.

He did not absorb the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit directly, but stored it temporarily like Zi Yan in the original novel.

The energy of this thing is really too huge. If Lin Ran wants to absorb it, it will probably take a lot of effort. He must not be disturbed by external forces, otherwise he will inevitably suffer a huge backlash of energy.

There are all kinds of people in this place, so it's better to be safe.

Lin Ran clenched his palms and looked down from the altar with a condescending gaze.

On the ground below, the remains of two nearly thousand-foot-tall Taixu ancient dragons and an ancient celestial phoenix were extremely spectacular. Even though they had been dead for who knows how many years, their might still remained.

Moreover, relying on the heavenly realm soul, Lin Ran could clearly feel the soul power contained in these two skeletons.

There are still souls remaining in these two skeletons!

"The remnant souls and bones of the ancient Phoenix and the ancient dragon..."

Lin Ran licked his lips. This was also a rare good thing. He immediately waved his hand and took it away.

The skeleton is too large to fit into the storage ring.

However, ever since Lin Ran achieved the Pure Yang Dragon Body, his special bloodline of the Taixu Ancient Dragon, coupled with the power of space that a Dou Zun strongman can control, has enabled Ye to open up a small space with him.

Although that small space cannot be compared with the stable space directly opened up by a Dou Sheng, which is like a small world, it can be used for personal storage, not to mention that it is inanimate objects.

As long as there is no huge fluctuation in Lin Ran's power, this small space will remain quite stable.

but.

If Lin Ran were in the same situation as he was two or three years ago, then this small space would automatically destroy, and everything in it would be annihilated.

There is no way. A Dou Zun is always a Dou Zun. If you want to create a real spatial world, you have to be a Dou Sheng.

The two huge skeletons were taken away by Lin Ran, and the plain suddenly became empty. The terrifying pressure between heaven and earth also quickly dissipated.

Without the pressure, Mu Qingluan below felt a sense of relief, but then the roars and growls of beasts that sounded all around her frightened her again.

"Look how scared you are."

Lin Ran smiled and patted Mu Qingluan's perky breasts: "I'm here, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Mu Qingluan showed a slightly bitter smile. This kind of oppression from blood was not something she could just ignore.

"Haha, okay, okay, we can start searching for medicinal herbs."

"Yeah!"

When Mu Qingluan heard that she could search for medicinal herbs, she was slightly stunned, and immediately she showed an excited and happy smile, and the fear in her heart towards those powerful monsters also faded a little.

He immediately started searching for medicinal herbs with Lin Ran.

This ancient forest is indeed a top treasure land where even the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was born. Soon, Mu Qingluan filled her storage ring with the fruits, and then looked at Lin Ran eagerly.

Lin Ran didn't hesitate and took out a few high-level storage rings and gave them to Mu Qingluan.

He himself put all these medicinal herbs into the space he carried with him, and only the top-level medicinal herbs were stored in the ring.

As they flew along, the two encountered many powerful treasure hunters. When they saw that Lin Ran and the other were determined to dig up all the land clean, the corners of their mouths twitched.

Especially when they saw that the excavation was directed toward the outside of the forest, rather than from the outside in, some careful people's eyes flickered and something occurred to them.

However, due to Lin Ran's terrifying strength, he had to suppress those bad thoughts in his mind.

The power of destroying five masters with one palm is too terrifying. No one wants to taste the power of heaven-level fighting skills.

They searched along the way until they saw the stone gate again, and then they stopped digging for medicinal herbs.

The only pity is that Lin Ran did not encounter the Soul Infant Demon Tree in the original book, which made Lin Ran quite disappointed.

After all, he is currently extremely eager for soul power, and it would be great if he could have the help of the Soul Infant Fruit.

"It should be that when I was trying to get the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, someone else got there first."

Lin Ran shook his head.

Well, I'm lucky if I get it, and I'm doomed if I lose it. I was able to get the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit smoothly, plus it was full of thousands of top-quality precious medicinal herbs. This formation can be considered a success.

Both of them walked out of the stone gate with satisfaction. Looking at the messy corridor and the buildings on both sides, Mu Qingluan suddenly felt that she was not satisfied at all. Instead, she felt that she had suffered huge losses.

This ancient forest is filled with precious medicinal herbs, so the attic in this corridor must also be filled with top-notch treasures!

"You girl, do you know what it means to be greedy?"

"I'm not a human..."

Mu Qingluan muttered, causing Lin Ran to burst out laughing.

He really couldn't refute this.

"Where are we going next, Sect Master?"

"Let's go inside. The real treasure should be in the center of the hall." Lin Ran smiled faintly, then looked up to identify the direction, and walked quickly to the other end of the corridor. Seeing this, Mu Qingluan hurriedly followed.

These corridors had obviously been severely looted when Lin Ran entered the ancient forest. Not only was the surrounding area in a mess, but the originally tidy buildings were also destroyed like ruins, which made people shake their heads.

Seeing that the road had been destroyed like this, Lin Ran and Mu Qingluan lost interest in taking a closer look, and immediately quickened their pace and rushed towards the center of the hall.

The complexity of the ancient ruins was far beyond expectations. The winding corridors made people feel like walking in a maze.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

If Lin Ran had not locked onto it with his soul power early on, it would have taken who knows how long they would have circled in it.

After the two of them flew in the air for about a few minutes, the view in front of them suddenly became wider. They rushed forward for a distance again, and a huge ancient palace finally appeared in their sight.

This hall is copper-yellow in color throughout. Countless years have made this copper-yellow color appear even deeper. An ancient breath emanates from under every stone slab, making people feel the vicissitudes of life that have been silent for countless years.

The hall was extremely large, and people standing in it were like ants. In the center of the hall, there were ten huge balls of light suspended in the air. In the dazzling light, one could vaguely see something like a scroll.

Lin Ran's gaze swept through these light balls that emitted a strange pressure one by one, and finally stopped at the center of the ten light balls.

There, there was a stone seat, and on that stone seat, there was a jade-white skeleton, sitting cross-legged with his hands making seals.

"The skeleton of a powerful Dou Sheng..."

Lin Ran murmured, his eyes gleaming with an extremely fiery light.

If a puppet is made from this skeleton, wouldn't it be possible to directly make a puppet with the strength of a fighting saint?!

Lin Ran's eyes were burning, and after a moment he turned away from the light ball and the skeleton and looked towards the vast center of the hall.

Inside the vast hall, figures were standing scattered around. Except for a few lone travelers, most of the others were powerful forces with a strong reputation in Zhongzhou. Among them, except for the two top magic beast races, the Sky Demon Phoenix and the Nine Nether Earth Python, the forces of the Glacier Valley, the Burning Flame Valley, etc., had all been here for a long time.

It seems that their goal is quite clear. After entering the ruins, they headed directly here.

When Lin Ran entered the hall, he naturally attracted the attention of many people in the hall. Then, a series of wary, hostile, or friendly glances were cast at him.

Lin Ran simply smiled at these looks and glanced at the direction where Feng Qing'er and others were. The latter winked at him playfully, making Lin Ran laugh.

Obviously, after he took the two skeletons away, the feeling of blood connection was gone. Naturally, the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan did not go to the ancient forest, but came to the center of the hall like other forces.

It is worth mentioning that Lin Ran also saw Reverend Tiejian and other people from the Xingyun Pavilion.

With the two Dou Zun corpse soul puppets left by Lin Ran, plus the Iron Sword Master, the Xingyun Pavilion, which has a total of three Dou Zun powers, also successfully arrived here, and there are no fewer people.

After seeing Lin Ran and Mu Qingluan, all the disciples in the pavilion waved to them excitedly.

"Master! Senior Sister Mu, here!"

"Here it comes!"

Mu Qingluan also responded with a smile, and returned to the team of Xingyun Pavilion with Lin Ran.

After entering the team, Lin Ran's eyes fell on the tall stone seat.

At the same time, he also noticed the dozen or so figures sitting cross-legged around the towering stone seat.

These figures were lime-colored all over, and from a distance they looked like stone sculptures, with their eyes tightly closed. It was unknown how many years they had remained in this posture. However, even so, these dozen or so stone-sculpture-like figures made everyone dare not step within a ten-foot radius around the stone base.

Puppets!

And they were Dou Zun-level puppets!

Seeing these puppets, Lin Ran's eyes flashed with brilliance again. If he could also take all these dozens of puppets into his pocket like before...

While waiting for the seal to disappear, strong men and some forces continued to rush to the hall. As more and more strong men came here, the atmosphere in the hall became subtle and tense. Everyone knew that in a while, the person who was still smiling and greeting them just now would kill them without hesitation.

In this kind of atmosphere, some slightly related forces or familiar strong men began to gather secretly. In such a chaotic place, it is probably impossible to really get the treasure by relying on the strength of one person alone.

Hurrying figures continuously rushed in from outside the hall, and although there were more and more people in the hall, it was still eerily quiet. The depressing atmosphere made many people sweat coldly on their foreheads. The fighting spirit in their bodies was in a state of erupting at any time. At the slightest disturbance, the fighting spirit in their bodies would be instantly attracted and burst out with astonishing killing power.

"Don't be nervous. For the next thing, we should focus on self-protection. We don't need to fight for these things."

Looking at the serious and nervous people in Xingyun Pavilion, Lin Ran said calmly: "These light balls are nothing more than some martial arts fighting skills, or secret techniques or something. My Saint Sect has a lot of these things, even heaven-level fighting skills."

"Yes, Master!"

Hearing this, everyone's restless hearts suddenly calmed down a lot.

If you think about it carefully, it's just a martial arts fighting technique, isn't it? The sect has them all!

After Xingyun Pavilion joined the Holy Sect, its resources were merged with the Holy Sect's resources. Xingyun Pavilion disciples were just like Holy Sect disciples. As long as they had enough contribution points, they could also exchange for various resources in the Holy Sect.

Lin Ran's words were not overly concealed, and immediately attracted many envious glances from people around him.

Being able to casually say "Even Heaven-level fighting skills are available", the current foundation of Xingyun Pavilion is too strong!

Lin Ran smiled and didn't care about the eyes of the crowd.

But after a few breaths, the smile on Lin Ran's face suddenly disappeared, and his cold gaze immediately fell on the entrance to the center of the ruins.

Then, a strange laugh, which seemed to be far away and near, turned into a sharp sound wave, echoing in the hall.

"Hehehe, it looks like it's quite lively, everyone."

The Soul Palace is here!
