Although Lin Ran does not have the blood of the ancient clan, he is the commander-in-chief of the ancient clan and a member of the ancient clan. It is natural for him to call Gu Yuan the clan leader.
Seeing Lin Ran speak, the medicine spirit beside him hurriedly bowed respectfully to Gu Yuanyingying.
"No need to be polite. You have reached this level in just a few years. This is beyond my expectation, and it is also beyond the expectations of almost everyone in the clan."
Gu Yuan looked at the tall young figure in the hall, a smile broke out on his face, and he nodded.
His voice was full of admiration, which made many elders smile bitterly.
In all these years of the ancient clan, no one has ever received such an evaluation from the clan leader!
"Also, from now on, you can call me uncle."
Hearing Gu Yuan's words, Huang Er's pretty face suddenly flushed, while many of the young leaders of the ancient clan below her felt disappointed.
Although the relationship between Lin Ran and Xun'er has long been known to everyone, the younger generation of the ancient clan still inevitably holds some hope in their hearts.
After all, as long as the final thing is not accomplished, they still have a chance no matter how far they progress.
But now that Gu Yuan said this, it was equivalent to acknowledging the relationship between Lin Ran and Xun'er.
Even the father-in-law agreed, so the matter was basically settled, which also meant that there was no possibility for them anymore.
"Thank you, Uncle Gu Yuan!"
Lin Ran also understood the meaning of his words and quickly spoke up to continue.
In the past, Lin Ran might have just laughed a few times and said something naughty.
After all, despite all his messed up behavior, Gu Yuan was willing to accept him and let him be with Xun'er, which was enough for him to brag about it.
But at this moment, Lin Ran's face was full of solemnity. After taking a look at Yao Ling beside him, he said in a deep voice: "I wonder if Uncle has ever heard of the so-called Soul Devouring Clan?"
"Crack!!"
As soon as Lin Ran finished speaking, the sound of a series of wine glasses exploding was heard in the hall.
Many elders raised their heads suddenly, staring at Lin Ran intently. There was actually a hint of fear in their eyes.
"Soul Devouring Clan..."
Gu Yuan's face trembled slightly when Lin Ran said these three words. He took a deep breath and stared at Lin Ran fiercely, saying, "Why do you ask this?"
"Uncle, you should know that the Soul Clan has the Void Devouring Flame, right?" Lin Ran said.
"Well, I once fought with Void Devouring Flame and severely injured him. After that, there was no news about him. He should be recovering from his injuries." Gu Yuan nodded and said.
"That's easy."
Lin Ran took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, you may also know that a few days ago, there was a pharmacopoeia of the Medicine Clan, and as a pharmacist, I also participated in it, but I didn't expect..."
Lin Ran began to describe in detail what had happened in the medicine world, including the Soul Devouring Clan transformed from the Void Devouring Flame, which blocked the remaining soul of the Medicine Emperor who had joined forces with them.
"I didn't expect the Soul Clan to be so ambitious and actually do something so shady in secret!"
"It seems that the Stone Clan and the Spirit Clan were wiped out by the Soul Clan in this way..."
"But how could the Soul Clan have the Soul Devouring Clan? Didn't that clan disappear long ago in the long river of history?"
The elders were discussing the matter, but none of them had any doubt about Lin Ran's words.
These things have already happened, and we just need to confirm it to know that Lin Ran is not talking nonsense, not to mention that the people of the Medicine Clan are here.
"Void Devouring Flame..."
The ancient clan's eyes were dim as he slowly spit out the key to the matter.
"The last patriarch of the Soul Devouring Clan was killed by the Soul Clan. If things go as expected, Void Devouring Flame absorbed the Soul Devouring Clan at that time and used them for the Soul Clan."
"This is probably why countless ancient races have disappeared in the long river of history, but only the Soul Clan has been able to continue for many years!"
"What the clan leader is saying is that Void Devouring Flame devoured the last clan leader of the Soul Devouring Clan, and thus gained this strange ability?"
Beside Gu Dao, an old man in white said in a hoarse voice.
"That should be the case. Otherwise, I really can't think of any other way for the Soul Clan to obtain the abilities of the Soul Devouring Clan."
Gu Yuan nodded, lowered his eyes slightly, and a hint of cold murderous intent flashed across his eyes.
The existence of the Void Devouring Flame was too threatening to these ancient races, so they had to find a way to get rid of it!
The hall fell silent because of this, and no one spoke again. No one had expected that the Soul Clan would actually hide these things, and what made them feel most uneasy was the existence of the Void Devouring Flame.
"When the Soul Clan attacked the ancient race, apart from the power of their bloodline, what they wanted most should be the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in their hands."
Lin Ran suddenly spoke up and said, "Uncle, in this battle between the Medicine Clan and the Soul Devouring Clan, it turns out that one of the elders of the Medicine Clan has already been parasitized by the Soul Devouring Clan. And judging from what Void Devouring Flame said, it's not just the Medicine Clan, the Flame Clan and the Thunder Clan are also in the same situation. It's even possible that the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade of the Flame Clan and the Thunder Clan has also been taken away by the Soul Clan."
"In this case, seven of the eight ancient jades are in the hands of the Soul Clan, and only one is in your hand, uncle. It is still in your hands."
Lin Ran stared at Gu Yuan and did not tell him about the ancient jade of the Xiao clan in his hand. Instead, he directly passed it to the Soul clan.
After all, the news that the Soul Clan destroyed the Xiao Family is well known!
"There is no doubt that the Soul Clan will do everything they can to get the ancient jade in your hand, uncle."
"When the time comes to open Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave, maybe Soul Emperor will be able to obtain the secret of becoming a Dou Emperor. When that time comes, no one on the Douqi Continent will be able to compete with him. The life and death of everyone will depend on the Soul Clan's thoughts!"
Inside the hall, everyone was silent.
No one had expected that, without making any noise, the Soul Clan had already accomplished things to this extent, with two nine-star Douluo, the Soul Devouring Clan, and seven pieces of ancient jade.
Everything shows the ambition of the Soul Clan, and the Ancient Clan is the final stepping stone for them to succeed!
"What are you going to do?"
Gu Yuan's face was as gloomy as water. After a long while, he looked at Lin Ran and spoke.
"joint!"
Lin Ran said word by word.
"It is fortunate that the Yao Clan was not destroyed this time, but the ancient jade is only in the possession of the Gu Clan."
"The Soul Clan will definitely attack the Ancient Clan next. Although it sounds harsh, the Ancient Clan today... is no match for the Soul Clan!" Lin Ran said in a deep voice: "The only way we can stop the Soul Clan is to unite and bring together the power of the Medicine Clan, the Flame Clan, and the Thunder Clan!"
"Otherwise, the Stone Clan and the Spirit Clan will serve as a warning to us!"
Lin Ran's words were so decisive that everyone in the hall changed their expressions, moved their bodies slightly, and felt inexplicable emotions in their hearts.
One after another, eyes slowly shifted to look at Gu Yuan, as if waiting for his decision.
Under the gazes of so many people, Gu Yuan also sighed slowly, raised his head, looked at Lin Ran, and smiled indifferently.
"I really didn't make a mistake in choosing you. It won't be a mistake to leave Xun'er to you."
"Someone come!"
"Send a message to the Medicine Clan, the Flame Clan, and the Thunder Clan, and invite the leaders of the three clans to discuss the matter of survival!"
After hearing Gu Yuan's words, Lin Ran and Yao Ling looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief.
They had all witnessed the Soul Clan's terrifying strength with their own eyes. Just the presence of Void Devouring Flame, a nine-star Douluo, forced them to gather everyone's strength and activate the clan protection formation.
If the Soul Clan leader, Emperor Hun Tian, was added, how could they fight?
Fortunately, the Ancient Clan agreed.
When the many ancient clan elders in the hall saw Gu Yuan made the decision, their expressions became slightly complicated for a moment.
They knew that from today on, the peace of the ancient clan would be gone forever. After a thousand years, the two most powerful forces on the Douqi Continent finally fought again, and this time, it would probably be a true battle of life and death!
Winners would survive, losers would perish!
Gu Yuan's decision quickly spread to the entire ancient clan's top leaders. For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire ancient world became somewhat tense.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Many powerful people began to be sent to Zhongzhou to closely monitor the Soul Clan's every move.
When the ancient clan began to be on alert, Lin Ran did not leave the ancient world immediately.
At this moment, he has a huge amount of pills in his hands, including two ninth-grade Xuan pills!
The rich energy of the ancient world is undoubtedly a perfect place for advancement. If he can devour and absorb these two ninth-grade mysterious pills and all the ninth-grade precious pills searched from the treasure house of the medicine clan, his cultivation will definitely be improved!
…
Within the ancient world.
A bamboo house stands among a quiet mountain.
A light breeze blew, and the bamboo forest swayed, like a green wave surging.
"Ah Ran, all the herbs you need are here. Is there anything missing?"
In the bamboo house, Xun'er stood tall and graceful, and her elegant clothes could not hide her charming body.
There was a gentle smile on her extremely delicate face, and under that smile, even the most heroic figure would become as gentle as a finger.
In front of Xun'er, there were many jade boxes floating. All kinds of amazing energies were emitted from the jade boxes. It was obvious that they were not ordinary things.
Of course, absorbing these massive amounts of pills cannot be done in a gulp. Many of them require some special medicinal materials, or the pills must be matched with each other in order to achieve the most perfect effect.
Fortunately, the ancient family is wealthy and powerful, and they have all kinds of medicinal materials.
Today, Lin Ran is the son-in-law of the Ancient Clan and one of the important fighting forces to contend with the Soul Clan in the future. Naturally, there is no problem in taking some medicinal herbs from them.
Lin Ran just casually glanced at the medicinal herbs, then fixed his gaze on the most beautiful figure.
He immediately walked forward, put his arm around her, and unceremoniously hugged her slender waist into his arms, saying with a smile: "We are still missing a beauty~"
Hearing Lin Ran's teasing, Xun'er couldn't help but blush and glanced at him, which made her look very charming, and made Lin Ran's eyes a little hot.
The two had not expressed their love for a long time. As the saying goes, a short separation is better than a new marriage. The deep affection between them had already been brewing for a long time.
However, time waits for no one, and now is obviously not the time to indulge in personal affairs. Improving one's own strength is the top priority.
"Xun'er, I need to be in seclusion for a while. Try not to let anyone disturb me during this time. I won't attend any of the Gu clan's affairs or meetings." Lin Ran kissed Xun'er's red lips fiercely, then whispered, "Also... be careful of the clan elders."
"Um!"
Xun'er nodded slightly, understanding what Lin Ran meant.
Lin Ran has already informed the Ancient Clan about the Soul Clan's use of the Soul-Swallowing Clan to replace the prince with a cat instead of a prince. Even the Flame Clan and the Thunder Clan may also suffer such a huge change. Naturally, their Ancient Clan cannot follow in their footsteps.
Gu Yuan had been investigating the elders of the clan these past few days. Even if Lin Ran didn't say it, Xun'er knew it.
Seeing Xun'er nod, Lin Ran also shouted softly, without hesitation, and used the Pure World Sacred Heart Flame to condense a fire cauldron, and directly sucked in those suspended medicinal herbs.
Seeing Lin Ran start to refine, Xun'er stopped disturbing him and quietly left the room, closing the door behind her...
…
The pills that Lin Ran wants to refine are not top-level pills. Most of them are of the eighth grade. Their main function is to help Lin Ran absorb the medicinal power of various pills.
Although Lin Ran's body is extremely strong and he also has the Holy Heart Flame of Purification, the medicinal effects can only be brought into play to their greatest value if they are fully absorbed.
With Lin Ran's current level, it only took him about half a day to refine these pills. When the sun set in the sky, five pills of different colors were already floating in front of him.
The five pills are about the size of a thumb, with different colors, but they all appear to be full of spiritual energy.
Looking at these five pills, Lin Ran waved his hand, and dozens of pills emerged from the space, emitting rich pill fragrance that was refreshing.
Finally, Lin Ran set his sights on the two leading pills.
It was the two ninth-grade Xuandan pills!
Looking at the two ninth-grade Xuandan pills, Lin Ran thought for a moment, then turned his gaze to the ninth-grade treasure pills on the side, opened his mouth wide, and swallowed three of them.
The pill entered Lin Ran's mouth and instantly turned into thick energy, which merged into Lin Ran's body.
Lin Ran immediately circulated his Dou Qi and began to absorb it quickly.
Pills are always pills, and as pills, they have drug resistance.
The ninth-grade Xuandan is precious. If Lin Ran directly swallows two ninth-grade Xuandan, his cultivation will definitely increase dramatically. At that time, the effect of this ninth-grade precious pill will definitely be greatly reduced.
Therefore, Lin Ran chose to absorb the ninth-grade precious pill first, and when his cultivation level was almost improved, he would use the ninth-grade mysterious pill to break through and advance to the next level!
A huge amount of energy continued to wash over Lin Ran's body. After a while, Lin Ran opened his eyes, swallowed three ninth-grade precious pills again, and then swallowed two of the five eighth-grade pills, and continued to devour and refine them.
Time passed slowly, and on the seventh day, a total of thirteen ninth-grade precious pills were swallowed by Lin Ran, and Lin Ran's cultivation level was also improved to the late stage of Seven-Star Fighting Saint.
"The ninth-grade precious pill can no longer improve my cultivation. Next, it's these two ninth-grade profound pills."
Lin Ran's eyes fell on the two ninth-grade Xuan Dan. After taking a deep breath, he first picked up the one with weaker medicinal effect, the one given by the medicinal pill, and put it into his mouth.
"boom!"
As the pill entered his body, in an instant, terrifying energy that was far different from that of a ninth-grade elixir suddenly burst out from Lin Ran's body!
