A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

......

Ye Fan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Although Lord Lin expelled him from Tianxuan, he still allowed him to participate in the competition and promised to give him the rewards.

What does this mean?

This shows that the Holy Lord still loves him!

Lord Lin just wanted to vent his anger. As long as he behaves well and does something to please the Lord, the Lord will definitely change his mind!

So... how can we satisfy Lin Xiu?

Ye Fan's mind raced.

Sending Originium? The Holy Lord is not short of money.

Sending beautiful women? The Holy Lord doesn't seem to be interested in that.

Giving away treasures? The most valuable thing he has is the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron, but Lin Xiu already has the same one.

"I see!"

A thought suddenly flashed through Ye Fan's mind, and he remembered something.

A few months ago, Lin Xiu assigned him a task: to explore the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest and bring out what he needed.

He wasn't strong enough at the time and didn't dare to go.

But now, even if I'm not strong enough... I still have to give it a try!

The Dragon Nest contains the Elixir of Immortality for True Dragons, as well as the sealed Human Demon.

If we can obtain the True Dragon Elixir of Immortality, or move the Demon Man out of the Dragon Nest, the Holy Lord will surely forgive him!

Ye Fan's eyes lit up.

Yes! That's what we'll do!

However, before that, he needs to win the grand competition, demonstrate his strength, and let the Holy Lord see his value. Then he can find an opportunity to communicate with the Holy Lord and sound him out.

What if the Holy Lord is just going through the motions and sends him back in a few days?

If that's the case, then there's no need to risk your life in the Dragon Nest anymore!

Having made up his mind, Ye Fan's fighting spirit rekindled.

First, defeat the Dao Palace Group! Get a reward! Prove your talent and value, then have a face-to-face talk with Lin Xiu.

If this plan fails, then we'll go to the Dragon Nest to find the True Dragon Elixir of Immortality!

With the divine weapon given to him by Lin Xiu, plus his Heavenly Emperor destiny, breaking through the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest shouldn't be a problem.

It's done!

......

On the other side, after announcing the punishment for Ye Fan, Lin Xiu returned to his rest room.

Inside the lounge, Yan Ruyu and Qin Yao were waiting.

Yan Ruyu was still wearing a long cyan dress today, her figure slender, her skin as white as snow, and her features exquisite. Her long, black hair cascaded down to her waist, and a jade hairpin adorned her hair, adding to her elegant demeanor.

What's most striking are her eyes, clear as autumn water, yet carrying a touch of demonic allure; their every glance seems to bewitch and captivate.

In addition, her temperament is also very special, possessing both the ethereal beauty of a fairy and the allure of a demon, combined with the fresh fragrance of the Chaos Green Lotus, forming a unique charm.

Upon seeing Lin Xiu return, Qin Yao immediately stepped forward, her face filled with worry as she explained:

“Little Ancestor, Ye Fan... he was just joking. He didn’t expect things to develop like this.”

“I believe that as long as you are willing to forgive him, he will do anything.”

Qin Yao's words were almost pleading, as if she were extremely worried about Ye Fan.

However, before Lin Xiu could reply, Yan Ruyu, who was standing to the side, spoke first:

"Qin Yao, you care too much about Ye Fan."

"He is the Heavenly Emperor recognized by Lin Xiu, and his future is destined to be a thorny path. How can he always think about relying on the protection of the Holy Land?"

"I think the more trials he faces, the better. As long as he's not worn down, we should grind him down to the bone."

Yan Ruyu deeply agreed with Lin Xiu's model of education through hardship.

As a descendant of the Azure Emperor, her experiences from a young age taught her that relying on others is futile; flowers in a greenhouse will never amount to anything, and true strength comes from growing up in blood and fire.

Lin Xiu also expressed strong support for Yan Ruyu's attitude:

"Yan'er is right."

"Putting everything else aside, just considering that Ye Fan's Four Extremes Tribulation is approaching, it would be excellent to temper him more before he undergoes the tribulation."

"Furthermore, if Ye Fan can meet my requirements, I can also allow him to return to the Holy Land."

Qin Yao's eyes lit up: "Oh? What are Little Ancestor's requirements? Can you tell me?"

Lin Xiu picked up his teacup, took a sip, and smiled:

"My requirements are actually very simple."

"As long as Ye Fan can defeat a series of young opponents I have designated, including Yan Ruyu, I can allow him to return to Tianxuan."

Qin Yao: "Ah, this..."

Defeating Yan Ruyu? Yan Ruyu is now at the Dragon Transformation Realm? And it seems there's more than just Yan Ruyu?

By the time Ye Fan can truly achieve this, he will probably already be at least at the half-step Great Power realm or even the Great Power realm, right? At that time, will he still need Tianxuan's protection?

"Why do I have to do this?"

Yan Ruyu pursed her red lips and looked at Lin Xiu with some surprise.

"What? You lack confidence in yourself?" Lin Xiu asked with a smile.

"of course not."

"Since it is the young master's order, Ruyu should obey."

Yan Ruyu immediately shook her head.

Ye Fan, as the Heavenly Emperor of the Dao Palace, is strong, but he is only strong within the same realm.

If you attack from a high position, aren't you just beating an idiot?

Putting everything else aside, she was confident that she could suppress Ye Fan for fifty years.

Seeing Yan Ruyu's stance, Lin Xiu smiled with satisfaction:

"Yes, Yan'er, you are someone I personally trained."

"In the current Eastern Wilderness, the younger generation generally has a low cultivation level, and those at the Dragon Transformation Realm are even rarer."

"In my opinion, with your strength, you are absolutely invincible in the Dragon Transformation Realm."

What Lin Xiu said was true.

Yan Ruyu was originally a descendant of the Azure Emperor, with amazing talent. Under his guidance, she underwent innate Dao Diagram pressure resistance training, and her strength was already far beyond what it used to be.

In the current Eastern Wilderness, there are very few young people who can reach the Dragon Transformation Realm, let alone the advanced stage of Dragon Transformation.

Lin Xiu had seen the strongest person who had signed up this time; he was only at the fourth stage of the Dragon Transformation Realm. With Yan Ruyu's talent, he could indeed easily defeat her.

........

Yan Ruyu was stunned. It was the first time she had heard Lin Xiu praise her so directly, and she subconsciously smiled.

Yan Ruyu was already renowned for her unparalleled beauty, hailed as the most beautiful woman in the Eastern Wilderness. Her smile at this moment was like a lotus in bloom, pure and exquisite, making the entire lounge seem brighter.

something unexpected may happen any time.

Just then, the results of the first match between the Dao Palace Realm and the Four Extremes Realm were announced, and a notification came from the sound transmission array:

"In the first match of the Dao Palace Group, Ye Fan defeated the Yao Guang Holy Son candidate!"

"In the first match of the Four Extremes Group, Weiwei defeated Dao Yi Saintess!"

【Vivi?】

Yan Ruyu almost forgot that Weiwei was just like her; they were both people trusted by Lin Xiu, having received personal foundation building and training from him.

“Young Master, Weiwei, whom you valued, has not disappointed you.”

"By the way, it seems you value quite a few people, Young Master?"

"But what about the Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion?"

"Cough cough......"

Lin Xiu coughed tactically. What do you mean he values ​​too many people? He values ​​Ye Fan and Wang Teng too, why don't you mention them?

.......

Yan Ruyu seemed to be mentioning it casually, but in reality, she deliberately looked towards the projection of the Purple Mansion Saintess competition.

In the projection, the Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion is confronting a young man.

The man, dressed in purple, possessed an extraordinary air; he was none other than the Holy Son of the Purple Mansion.

"Oh? The one fighting against the Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion is actually the Holy Son of the Purple Mansion? Could there be some kind of conspiracy involved?"

Lin Xiu glanced at Yan Ruyu: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would actively create a conspiracy?"

Yan Ruyu: "........."

She really wanted to say that you are that kind of person, but in the end she didn't say it and just watched the game silently.

Chapter 251 The Immortal-Slaying Gourd

On the competition field, the Purple Mansion Saintess, dressed in a purple dress, had a graceful figure and an ethereal temperament.

She simply stood there quietly, yet a Daoist aura flowed around her, subtly resonating with all things.

The Holy Son of the Purple Mansion had a solemn expression. He knew how powerful this Holy Maiden from the same Holy Land as him was, and he also knew the importance of this duel to him.

Therefore, he used all his strength from the very beginning!

"Zixia, if I hurt you, don't blame me!"
