Pretending to be slapped in the face?
The story of Long Aotian?
I actually got such a good thing?
A sarcastic voice came from behind. Lin Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, turned around in surprise, and a hint of expectation emerged in his heart.
It has been nearly twenty years since he traveled through time, and he has hardly encountered any plots where Long Aotian pretends to be awesome but gets slapped in the face. Most of them have been smooth sailing, which makes Lin Ran quite regretful.
He was quite disappointed that he hadn't shown off his skills even though he had come to Douqi Continent. He didn't expect that he would have a chance to make up for his regret today!
Let me show you who I am!
Lin Ran looked up and immediately saw an old woman in gray clothes, grinning with a mouthful of yellow teeth, looking at the young man next to her with a loving face, while the young man next to her was dressed in white clothes with a rebellious look on his face.
Okay, okay, that's the feeling!
Lin Ran's mouth slanted: "You..."
"presumptuous!"
Without waiting for Lin Ran to speak, Feng Qing'er at the side frowned and spoke angrily. A faint silver fighting spirit permeated her body, and there was even a faint sound of low muffled thunder, flashes of lightning, and a terrifying aura.
"Six-star Dou Huang?!"
Feeling the strength of Feng Qing'er's fighting spirit, as well as the power of wind and thunder contained in it, a hint of surprise emerged in the young man's eyes, and his greed became even stronger.
"Okay, okay, I like it this strong... Grandma, help me!"
"good!"
The old woman in gray nodded immediately, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she moved, rushing out like lightning, with her sharp nails like a knife, grabbing Feng Qing'er mercilessly.
Feng Qing'er shouted tenderly, and the fighting spirit in her body was about to roar out.
But a hand fell on her shoulder.
"No hurry."
Lin Ran had a faint smile on his handsome face. He looked at the old woman who attacked him and said calmly, "Old guys, if you don't show up, don't blame me for not giving you face."
"…"
"Pretend! Die!"
There was dead silence all around. The old woman sneered, her face full of sarcasm, and continued to attack Feng Qing'er with her sharp fingers.
The faint smile on Lin Ran's face gradually faded, and his eyes gradually became indifferent. Just as the old woman's attack was about to fall, the space around them suddenly fluctuated.
"stop!"
At the critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and shouted in a deep voice: "This is the branch tower of Danta, everyone, stay calm!"
Looking at the figure blocking her way, the gray-clothed old woman's face changed slightly. She immediately moved and took two steps back. She stared at Lin Ran with a grim look and snorted coldly: "Boy, don't let me meet you alone in the future, otherwise..."
Lin Ran looked at the old woman indifferently, glanced at the Danta staff who appeared in front of him, and looked slightly into the distance.
"Old man, I gave you face..."
"Wait!" A slightly old voice suddenly sounded out of nowhere.
"It's too late."
Along with Lin Ran's indifferent voice, the old woman who was still barking like a dog a moment ago was suddenly squeezed by an irresistible terrifying force, and was crushed into a blurry ball of flesh and blood with a bang.
Fresh blood splattered everywhere, and the stench of blood stimulated the noses of everyone present. The young man in white who was grinning a moment ago was now completely stunned, staring at the ball of flesh and blood in front of him in disbelief.
With a thud, the terrified young man fell to his knees, his body shaking and trembling.
Elder Danta at the side also had his pupils contracted. He looked at Lin Ran in disbelief, opened his mouth, but could not make a sound.
"well."
A melodious sigh came late, and an old man in white clothes appeared in the air at some point.
There was no aura emanating from this old man in white. He looked just like an ordinary old man. Even if the people present used their soul power to sense him, they could not sense any aura at all, as if there was no one here.
His hair and beard were all white, and his face was covered with deep wrinkles. His eyes looked a little thin under the wrinkles, and they were as deep and unfathomable as a deep pool.
But when Elder Danta saw the old man, he was horrified and quickly lowered his head with a look of respect on his face.
"President…"
"President?!!"
When this name was uttered, everyone present, including the dazed young man, Feng Qing'er, Mu Qingluan, etc., all opened their eyes wide with disbelief on their faces.
There is only one person who can be praised as the president by the elders of Danta, one of the three giants of Danta, a top Dou Zun powerhouse, an eighth-grade top alchemist, and the president of Danta.
Xuan Kongzi!
"I met you once before, but I didn't expect you to grow to this level today." An old voice came out from Xuan Kongzi's mouth.
"Why, shocked?"
Lin Ran chuckled: "That's right, you probably haven't seen such an outstanding young man before."
"At such a young age, he has already reached the peak of the Three Star Dou Zun realm, and has a soul in the Spirit Realm... Looking across the continent, I have never seen anyone who can reach this level."
Xuan Kongzi's eyes swept over Lin Ran's body and said, "It's a pity that you are the disciple of those three people..."
"Since when did Danta, which only cares about alchemy and medicine making skills, also care about these things?"
Lin Ran snorted and glanced at the young man slumped on the ground: "But it's not surprising if all of you Danta are such scum."
Xuan Kongzi smiled and waved his hand lightly, and the young man who was lying on the ground was lifted up by an invisible force.
"President…"
"You don't have to call me the president. I have indeed neglected management over the years. Although the five major families in Dan Domain have existed since ancient times, the corrupt system often leads to future collapse. The elders' seats of Dan Tower should indeed be rectified."
After these words were spoken, both the man and Elder Danta beside him turned pale, their lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.
They knew that the five major families were finished, and even the current elders of Danta might be finished!
And the source of all this is the guy in front of him.
But, so what?
Anger, hatred, irritation, unwillingness, helplessness...
Various emotions kept emerging in their hearts, but in the end they could only turn into unwillingness and helplessness, and they retreated.
Looking at the young man and Elder Danta who were retreating, Lin Ran sneered: "You have taken away their power for many years with just a few words. Isn't this forcing them to embark on a path of no return?"
"I have already reminded them, which is the greatest favor."
Xuan Kongzi spoke calmly, and Lin Ran snorted lightly without commenting.
What Xuan Kongzi said just now, in addition to punishing them, was more of a reminder to them that Lin Ran, who had the strength of a Dou Zun and a soul in the spiritual realm, was not someone they could afford to provoke.
If they were smart enough, nothing would happen.
But if they lose their minds...
"As the saying goes, one does not visit a temple for no reason. What brings you to my Danta this time?"
"I want an emblem of an eighth-grade alchemist, and by the way, do business with a Dou Zun strongman." Lin Ran said calmly, and then seemed to think of something, and paused: "I originally wanted to help the Ye family, but looking at the current situation, it doesn't matter whether I help or not."
"The Ye family..."
Xuan Kongzi was slightly stunned, but didn't think much about it. Compared to this declining family, Xuan Kongzi cared more about other things that Lin Ran said.
For example...
Eighth-rank alchemist!
Xuan Kongzi remembered very clearly that when Lin Ran came to Danta to apply for the alchemist badge, he was only sixth-rank. But even if he was sixth-rank, he was already among the best among the alchemists Xuan Kongzi knew.
After all, Lin Ran was really young at that time, and he was also the young master of the Yunyu Sect. His special identity and outstanding talent made Xuan Kongzi remember Lin Ran.
With that kind of aptitude, in today's Danta, only those few extremely talented young fellows can be compared with him.
But now Lin Ran actually wants to be certified as an eighth-grade alchemist...
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Xuan Kongzi looked at Lin Ran again in astonishment, feeling somewhat unbelievable.
Is there really such a genius in this world? !
"Why, what's the problem?"
"Of course there is no problem, but if you want to get the eighth-grade alchemist badge certification, you still have to pass the test." Xuan Kongzi paused slightly: "This is the rule of Danta. Although you are a spiritual soul, this is not the standard for an eighth-grade alchemist. Only when you can truly refine an eighth-grade pill, you can be considered a true eighth-grade alchemist."
"It's natural."
Lin Ran smiled confidently: "Find me a place and start the assessment directly."
"So confident?"
"Why else would I be here?"
"Okay, come with me."
Xuan Kongzi moved slightly and walked in front. Lin Ran and the two girls followed closely behind him and walked towards the inner area of Danta.
The inner area of Danta is more prosperous than the outer area. Not only are there more alchemists, but their quality is also higher. For example, the fifth and sixth grade alchemists, which are extremely rare in the outside world, can be seen everywhere here.
There are even quite a few seventh-grade alchemists here.
Under the leadership of Xuan Kongzi, Lin Ran and the other two soon arrived at a square. In front of the square was a stone tower that reached into the clouds.
"An eighth-grade alchemist is not only a distinguished guest of Danta, but also a treasure of Douqi Continent. The birth of every eighth-grade alchemist is worth celebrating."
Xuan Kongzi's gaze fell on the stone tower that rose into the sky, where a huge bell was hanging.
"If you can complete the certification of an eighth-grade alchemist, this alchemy bell will ring for you, and then all the alchemists in the entire Alchemy Tower will sing praises for you!"
"...If you meet those low-key alchemists, will you do the same?" Lin Ran's mouth twitched slightly. This thing has no practical use, it just adds more fame and reputation.
"If they were really those extremely low-key, reclusive alchemists, they wouldn't want this certification."
"Too..."
Lin Ran looked around: "Where should I take the test?"
"Are you sure you are ready? Are your fighting spirit strength, soul state, and medicinal materials for refining all ready?" Xuan Kongzi reminded kindly.
The medicines refined by alchemists are extraordinary, especially the medicines refined by high-level alchemists.
Refining elixirs is something that goes against the will of heaven. Refining high-level elixirs will not only consume a large amount of mental energy, fighting spirit, and soul energy, but will also bring about a heavenly calamity and thunder in the end.
If you force yourself to refine the medicine without sufficient preparation, failure is a minor matter. If you suffer a backlash from the refining, or die in a thunderbolt, that would be a truly major event!
"If I hadn't been fully prepared, why would I come here?"
Lin Ran smiled confidently: "Don't say more, I'm in a hurry, please prepare a place for me to take the test."
Refining high-level elixirs takes a lot of time. Not only does he have to exchange magic cores with the mysterious Dou Zun, but he also has to attend his teacher's birthday party. If he misses the opportunity to refine the elixirs, that would be a big mistake.
"Well, since you think you are ready, come on!"
Seeing Lin Ran so determined, Xuan Kongzi said no more and took Lin Ran straight into the stone tower. After a few turns, Lin Ran came to a stone platform.
"You have a soul in the spiritual realm, so too many tests are meaningless. You only need to successfully refine an eighth-grade pill with two-colored pill thunder or above here, and you will be considered successful!"
"Reasonable."
Lin Ran nodded, looked at Mu Qingluan and Feng Qing'er beside him, and said with a smile: "While I am refining the elixir, you two will protect me."
"Qingluan understands."
"Yes, Master!"
The two girls were all excited. This was an eighth-grade alchemist, a person who truly stood at the pinnacle of alchemy!
And at this moment, they were about to witness the birth of an eighth-grade alchemist with their own eyes. What could be more exciting than this?
"Master..."
Hearing Feng Qing'er's name, Xuan Kongzi paused obviously, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. With his sharp eyesight, he naturally could see Feng Qing'er's background.
Being able to make a Sky Demon Phoenix submit, this little guy's methods are really...
While Xuan Kongzi was sighing, Lin Ran did not hide anything and waved his hand, directly taking out the Sun Cauldron, along with a large pile of magic cores and medicinal herbs.
Most of these magic cores are high-level magic cores, the lowest is level seven, and one of them is even level eight, which is extremely precious!
After preparing everything, Lin Ran took a deep breath and went over the process of refining the Heavenly Spirit Dragon Blood Pill in his mind again. Then he slowly opened his eyes and moved his palms slightly. The holy gold meteorite heart fire suddenly flashed out and poured into the Sun Cauldron.
"Strange fire?!"
A surprised voice sounded from the side. Xuan Kongzi looked up and saw that two figures had appeared in the hall without him noticing.
A man who looked old, with dark skin, his face was tense and he looked stern and serious, his eyes were like lightning, piercing one's soul.
The other one was a beautiful woman in cheongsam, with a calm expression and a hint of the charm of time.
"You guys are here too."
Seeing the two coming, Xuan Kongzi nodded slightly and said, "This little guy is going to be promoted to an eighth-grade alchemist."
"Eighth-rank alchemist?!"
When these words were spoken, both of them were surprised, but soon, their attention was completely attracted by the Holy Golden Meteorite Heart Fire summoned by Lin Ran.
"Interesting, this flame is definitely a good Strange Fire. Its strength is so high that it definitely ranks high on the Strange Fire List. However, the only golden flames on the Strange Fire List are the Seventh-ranked Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire and the Fourth-ranked Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame."
"But these two strange fires should have owners. It's impossible for this little guy to get them. What exactly are these strange fires..."
