Chapter 40: First Arrival at Kunlun Mountain

"Junior Brother has arrived. How have things been during this time?"

Looking at Lin Fan, Wuyunxian smiled indifferently.

Regarding Lin Fan, an Inner Disciple, the members of the Jie Sect now dared not ignore him.

Top-tier talent in Sword Dao.

They all understood what this meant.

Especially as one of the Seven Attendant Immortals, Wuyunxian knew all too well what such talent would bring once it rose to prominence.

"Not bad!"

"The seeds that Senior Brother gave me previously have already grown."

"The growth of those Spirit Herbs is quite good!"

With a faint smile, Lin Fan wore a happy expression.

Indeed.

The value of those Spirit Herbs was immense.

However, compared to the Cistanche at the level of an Innate Spiritual Root, they were still quite lacking.

But having had this attempt, Lin Fan's desire for farming grew even more immense.

If not for the current situation in the Great Desolation, he would even want to travel outside in the Great Desolation to find more Innate Spiritual Roots he needed to plant.

"That is good!"

A flash of surprise crossed the depths of his eyes; Wuyunxian had not expected that Lin Fan had truly succeeded in planting the Spirit Herbs relying on those seeds.

As one of the guards of the herb garden.

Wuyunxian knew too well how fragile and delicate those Spirit Herbs were; a slight carelessness would lead to direct Death, even if it were him, he would be powerless to stop it.

Precisely because of this, he had given Lin Fan so many seeds at once, all to ensure that he would not end up with nothing.

Yet he did not expect that Lin Fan's talent for planting Spirit Herbs seemed even more powerful than he had imagined, and they had all succeeded; this was simply...

"Silence~"

Just at this moment, the low roar of Duobao resounded.

In an instant, the group of people stopped discussing and subconsciously looked toward the gate of Biyou Palace.

As expected, at this moment, Tongtian Jiaozhu had already walked out from within with Duobao.

"Greetings, Master!"

"Greetings, Master!"

"..."

Seeing this situation, the members of the Jie Sect present dared not be negligent and quickly bowed in salute.

Including Lin Fan, who was no exception.

"Mm!"

Nodding, the gaze of Tongtian Jiaozhu swept across the entire scene.

It paused on Lin Fan for a moment, a look of satisfaction flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Immediately following, Tongtian Jiaozhu spoke directly: "Is everyone here?"

"Yes, Master!"

Stepping forward, Duobao bowed in salute and said: "All Personal Disciples and Inner Disciples have arrived!"

"The only one not present is Junior Brother Yuyixian, but he had already told me before that he needed to go out to handle some matters!"

"When the time comes, I will send a message to him directly, and he can head straight to the location of Kunlun Mountain to meet up with us!"

"After all, with Junior Brother Yuyixian's speed, arriving at Kunlun Mountain before the Three Teachings Grand Competition is not a problem!"

Hearing this, Tongtian Jiaozhu nodded.

And Lin Fan was also lost in thought.

Yuyixian was actually not here; this was truly unexpected information.

However, he did not pay too much attention to it; after all, although he had some acquaintance with Yuyixian, in reality, it was not much.

"Since that is the case, then let us depart!"

Tongtian Jiaozhu did not waste any more words; with a wave of his large hand, a patch of azure auspicious clouds appeared directly in the area beneath everyone's feet.

Following that, the azure auspicious clouds lifted the group of people into the air, and after leaving the range of Golden Turtle Island, they began to speed toward the direction of Kunlun Mountain!

Along the way, the group of disciples did not communicate much.

After all, with Tongtian Jiaozhu leading the team in person, many words were not easy to say.

Relying on the means of a Saint, this Escape Technique was extremely rapid; in just a few months, the group successfully arrived at the location of Kunlun Mountain.

As far as the eye could see, Kunlun Mountain towered into the clouds, immortal energy curled, endless emerald-green radiance shone brilliantly, large areas of trees were entrenched within, and one could even see trees at the level of Spiritual Roots growing everywhere.

As the existence second only to Mount Buzhou within the Great Desolation.

This Kunlun Mountain and the entire Kunlun Mountain range contained countless heavenly treasures and resources.

Although Golden Turtle Island was also a top-tier blessed land, in reality, it had no comparability with Kunlun Mountain; after all, it was one of the ancestral veins of the Great Desolation that gave birth to the Three Pure Ones.

"Gulp~"

Swallowing his saliva, Lin Fan stared intently at the scenery below.

Just in this short while, he had already seen no fewer than a hundred types of Spiritual Roots, among which there was no lack of Innate Spiritual Roots.

Even if the grade was not too high, for him at this moment, they were all huge resources.

Unfortunately, this was Kunlun Mountain, this was the territory of the Chan Sect; even as an Inner Disciple of the Jie Sect, it was not appropriate for him to dig for Spiritual Roots or seize them here.

Very quickly, the group entered into Kunlun Mountain.

After passing through the restrictions set by Yuanshi Tianzun, they arrived at high speed at a plaza where Yuqing Palace was located.

As everyone drifted down to the ground, the cyan auspicious clouds dissipated along with them.

Tap, tap, tap—

A burst of hurried footsteps rang out.

Looking toward the sound, one could see a cultivator with regular features, dressed in a Daoist robe and wearing a Daoist crown, approaching rapidly.

After arriving in the area before Lin Fan and the others, the newcomer bowed and said, "Guangchengzi of the Chan Sect greets the Third Martial Uncle and all Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters!"

"Greetings, Senior Brother Guangchengzi!"

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Guangchengzi!"

Regarding this, Duobao, Lin Fan, and the others all responded with bows in turn.

Lin Fan in particular was currently sizing up Guangchengzi with a curious gaze.

This was the eldest disciple of the Chan Sect, the disciple most favored by Yuanshi Tianzun.

During the Investiture of the Gods Era, Guangchengzi was entrusted with high expectations as the eldest senior brother of the Chan Sect, and he was even bestowed with an Acquired Supreme Treasure like the Seal-Heaven Stamp.

The Seal-Heaven Stamp!

Although it was an Acquired Supreme Treasure, it was actually refined by Yuanshi Tianzun by cutting off a piece of Mount Buzhou.

Its inherent power was boundless, and its Damage was so immense that it was not inferior to a Top-Grade Innate Lingbao by much.

If it could be further enhanced with merit to evolve it into an Acquired Merit Supreme Treasure, it could even possess power that surpassed a Top-Grade Innate Lingbao.

"Rise!"

Waving his hand, Tongtian Jiaozhu frowned and said, "What is the Second Brother doing?"

"Third Martial Uncle, please calm your anger!"

Hearing this, how could Guangchengzi not understand what Tongtian Jiaozhu meant?

After all, as a Saint had arrived in person, even the Second Brother, Yuanshi Tianzun, should have come out to welcome him personally.

Not daring to be negligent, Guangchengzi hurriedly said, "Not long ago, the Eldest Martial Uncle arrived with Senior Brother Xuandu; at this moment, Master and the Eldest Martial Uncle are discussing matters, so they sent me to invite the Third Martial Uncle and all Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters inside!"

"The Eldest Brother has come."

His eyes lit up, and Tongtian Jiaozhu immediately stopped being angry.

Compared to Yuanshi Tianzun, who was always displeased with him, Tongtian Jiaozhu held a very high level of respect for his Eldest Brother, Laozi, in his heart.

No longer caring about anything else, Tongtian Jiaozhu said directly, "Then what are we waiting for? Let us go in now!"

"Duobao, you all follow!"

After speaking, Tongtian Jiaozhu strode toward Yuqing Palace.

And Duobao, Yunxiao, Lin Fan, and the others did not dare to be slow and followed closely behind!

Lin Fan looked at the system panel, his heart filled with anticipation.
