There is no rush to go to Canaan College. The most important thing at the moment is his own soul power.
The soul power of the spiritual realm is indeed enough for Lin Ran at present. The side effects of the "soul realm" have not yet appeared, but it is naturally best to be prepared for a rainy day.
After returning to Black Seal City, Lin Ran immediately called out to the busy Green Clothes.
"Han Feng is dead. I have almost wiped out all the strong men, including the old demon from the Demon Flame Valley. There are only a few big cats and small cats left. They are nothing to worry about."
Lin Ran spoke calmly, saying something that was enough to shock the entire Black Horn Region: "Tomorrow you will send invitations to all the well-known forces in the entire Black Horn Region. Come to my Black Seal City for a meeting in three days. If you don't come, you will bear the consequences yourself."
"The old demon is dead?!"
Even Lu Yi was stunned by Lin Ran's words.
That was the old demon, one of the top masters in the Black Horn Region. How could he die just like that?!
And Lin Ran's words meant that not only the old demon, but also all the well-known masters in the Black Horn Region, including Medicine King Han Feng, were dead!
"To all forces?"
Green's tone was filled with excitement, and her body was even trembling a little: "Isn't this too hasty? After all, the number is a bit too large."
"The notable garbage has been cleared, and the remaining guys should learn to judge the situation."
Lin Ran said calmly: "Just post the notice. It's their business whether they come or not."
"By the way, take these things."
Lin Ran waved his hand lightly, and the space in front of him suddenly distorted. A large number of storage rings floated in the air like pouring beans. The number was so large that Lu Yi was stunned.
"This, this…"
"I have already erased the soul imprints in these storage rings. There are no good things here. Most of them are basic resources. However, there are quite a few skills and combat techniques among them, which can be used to replenish the inventory."
To establish a sect, the most important thing is to have enough skills and combat techniques.
Lin Ran already has these things, but they are not suitable.
Almost all of the Yunyu Sect's martial arts and fighting skills are centered around the cultivation furnace. Giving those things to the Shengyu Sect's disciples is really a bit... ahem.
But this is no longer a problem now.
Although the martial arts and fighting skills of these sects are not very strong, the highest is only the initial earth level, but such a large number can well make up for the vacancy of the mysterious level martial arts and fighting skills of the Shengyu Sect.
Green Clothes carefully took the storage rings, and his soul invaded them. His pupils suddenly dilated and he was shocked.
Such a large and diverse amount of resources cannot be provided by one or two sects, and the names of these skills all have extremely obvious sect characteristics.
It seems that the master of the clan really came to the Black Horn Region for a big sweep!
Green Clothes happily put all the storage rings into his pocket.
With these things, Shengyu Sect will no longer have to worry about the materials for its early development!
"Also, please pay attention to these medicinal herbs."
Looking at the smiling Lu Yi, Lin Ran transmitted a wisp of soul breath into Lu Yi's mind. Lu Yi was slightly stunned, and suddenly dozens of medicinal herbs appeared in her mind, many of which she had never even heard of.
This is not surprising.
The medicinal materials that Lin Ran needs are all extremely rare types, many of which are the main and auxiliary materials for strengthening soul power and high-level elixirs.
It is extremely difficult to find.
If Lin Ran were to search by himself, even if he had extraordinary powers and strength, there was no telling how long it would take him to find it.
It would undoubtedly be much easier to let Lu Yi, the actual person in charge of Shengyu Sect, find this kind of thing.
"No problem, please rest assured, Sect Master. As long as I have any news about these medicinal herbs, I will collect them as soon as possible." The man in green patted his chest and made a promise.
Today, the Black Horn Region has been almost razed to the ground by Lin Ran. Even veteran strongmen like the Earth Demon Old Ghost have been dealt with by Lin Ran. Those so-called old sects are now almost all toothless tigers.
Although the Holy Rain Sect was newly established, it is the only overlord in the Black Horn Region today!
"Well, in addition, you should also divide these pills into two batches. Put them in the inventory, and the other half will be used to invite them in three days."
Lin Ran waved his hand, and dozens of jade bottles appeared again.
These pills were naturally found in the storage rings of those trash, and most of them came from the filial son Han Feng.
"Of course, we're not giving them away, but auctioning them off. Didn't Han Feng want to hold an exclusive auction for elixirs before? Let's do the same. I think those guys will pay a lot of money for it."
"Yes, Master."
Green covered her mouth and laughed.
How dare they not pay? This is not only the cost of auctioning the elixir, but also the "protection fee"!
The people of the Black Horn Region today are probably scared half to death by Lin Ran. Almost all the leaders and elders of the medium and large sects have died suddenly.
The remaining people in charge of the sect are probably in a panic and worried at this moment, fearing that they will be the next to die. Holding a pill auction at this time can well play a role in stabilizing people's hearts and gathering power.
After all, if Shengyu Sect wants to develop, it can't rely on resources alone, what it needs more is people!
...
The Black Horn Region is now in a state of great loss of strength. There are only a few strong men above the Dou Huang level. Even if there are any, there are only a few of them, and they are basically independent cultivators.
There was no other way. After the Black Seal Auction, Han Feng directly sent invitation letters to all the forces, big and small, in the Black Corner Region.
In the Black Horn Region, it is extremely rare to find someone who dares not to give face to the Medicine Emperor.
Today, the Holy Rain Sect has become the undisputed overlord of the Black Horn Region. With their strength, it will be no problem for them to hold an auction exclusively selling elixirs.
What's more, this was a large-scale protection fee collection event disguised as a pill auction!
Therefore, Green Clothes didn't even make any preparations. In the afternoon of that day, he sent the news of the auction through various channels and also sent an invitation letter to all the big and small forces in the Black Horn Region.
In an instant, the entire Black Horn Region was shaken, but at the first moment, not many people dared to go there.
no way.
With the precedent of the Black Seal Auction, they are really afraid, but what can they do? Do they dare not come?
The last sentence of the invitation letter said that if you don't come, you will bear the consequences at your own risk. No one dared to take it as empty talk. After all, it was a terrifying existence that could directly destroy even a Dou Zong powerhouse!
"Young Valley Master, the Holy Rain Sect has also sent us an invitation!"
In the Devil Flame Valley, an elder with a sad face and an invitation letter in hand flew into the main hall of the Devil Flame Valley wailing, "What should I do, Young Valley Master?"
The figures in the hall were moving. Upon hearing the news, they were all like frightened birds.
On the high platform, a middle-aged man with a pale face took the invitation letter with trembling hands and opened it. The more he looked at it, the heavier his expression became.
After a long while, the middle-aged man closed his eyes in despair and handed the invitation letter to his subordinates.
"Elders, you can all take a look too."
The elders hurriedly took the invitation letters, and none of them said a word, their faces turned pale, and their bodies trembled.
It's no wonder that they were so scared. The Demon Flame Valley was the most powerful sect in the Black Horn Region, but now it has fallen from grace.
The founder of the Seven Star Dou Sect died tragically, and three elders at the peak of the Dou Huang level died.
The original Black Horn Region's No. 1 sect now only had a young valley master at the peak of Douhuang and a few elders. If Douhuang strongmen were added again, there wouldn't even be more than a handful!
It could be said that the Demon Flame Valley, the Holy Rain Sect, and Lin Ran had an irreconcilable feud.
Now, in their eyes, this invitation is like a death warrant. This is not an auction of elixirs, but a Hongmen Banquet where one is invited to send one's head!
"Elders, what should we do?"
The young valley master looked around and spoke slowly.
The elders looked at each other, not knowing how to start.
The huge hall was silent for a long time before an elder spoke slowly: "The Holy Rain Sect is coming with great force and has now dominated the entire Black Horn Region. If we don't participate in this auction, I'm afraid... we will be killed."
"Will there be no danger of death if I go there? Don't forget what Shengyu Sect has done during this period of time. That Lin Ran is a lunatic!"
"Yes, Young Valley Master, we absolutely cannot go to this auction. We lost the First Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder at the Black Seal Auction. We also lost the Old Valley Master at the Medicine King Organization meeting some time ago."
"If we go again this time, I'm afraid we..."
"But if I don't go, won't Lin Ran come to my house?!"
After one elder spoke, all the elders in the hall also spoke up and expressed their opinions. For a moment, the entire conference hall was extremely noisy, like a vegetable market.
The young valley master rubbed his temples with a headache. To be honest, he didn't know what to do. The chattering of these elders made his head hurt and he was upset.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing!"
The young master of the valley said in an annoyed voice: "Does quarreling solve the problem? Now that they have sent the invitation letter, what we need to do is to solve the problem instead of talking nonsense here!"
The elders fell silent immediately and dared not say anything more.
After a long silence, an elder finally stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Young Valley Master, in my opinion, we should go to this auction."
"Reason!" The young valley master glanced at the elder.
"As far as I know, the Holy Rain Sect has invited almost all the forces in the Black Horn Region to this elixir auction. As one of the most powerful forces in the Black Horn Region, our Demon Flame Valley is a thorn in the side of the Holy Rain Sect. If we don't go, we will definitely be targeted by the Holy Rain Sect."
"The old Valley Master and the three elders are dead. Although this may seem like a bit of a gimmick, we do not have the power to fight against the Holy Rain Sect. We might as well... bow our heads."
After saying this, the elder immediately lowered his head, looking as if waiting to be criticized.
really.
As an elder of the Demon Flame Valley, he said such words that damaged the reputation of the Demon Flame Valley and even asked the Demon Flame Valley to condescend and beg for mercy from its mortal enemy. He has reached the limit of what he can do as an elder.
If it were any other day, many elders would have stood up to give him a lecture, and he might even lose his position as an elder.
But now, after he finished speaking, there was dead silence all around, and even many people showed signs of being interested.
The elder raised his head again, looked around, and continued, "Young Valley Master, actually, there may not be any accidents when we go there this time."
"Young Valley Master, think about it, for this elixir auction, the Holy Rain Sect not only invited our Demon Flame Valley or a few special sects, but also invited almost all the sects and forces in the Black Horn Region!"
"After all the strong men were slaughtered by the leader of the Holy Rain Sect, these sects did not have the power to resist the Holy Rain Sect, and could not even pose a threat to the Holy Rain Sect. However, the Holy Rain Sect still wanted to gather all the sect forces. What is their reason?"
"Strangle them all? No, in my opinion, gathering them together, forming an alliance, and surrendering them is probably more in line with the interests of the Holy Rain Sect!"
When these words were spoken, many people's eyes lit up.
That makes sense!
"Holy Rain Sect, Holy Rain Sect..."
The young valley master shook his head helplessly, his eyes filled with strong reluctance and hatred, but also with a glimmer of hope and expectation.
After a long while, the young valley master sighed and said, "Forget it, let's do as the elder said. Tomorrow... No, take the money and resources and set off immediately."
"Yes, Young Valley Master!"
There are many sects that hold the same idea as Demon Flame Valley. In fact, everyone is smart, and anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance what the Holy Rain Sect wants to do.
We all understand that since your Shengyu Sect is willing to give us a chance, we must of course give you some face.
However, within a day, more and more people rushed in from all over the Black Horn Region, and the flow of people had reached a terrifying amount, even surpassing the original Black Seal Auction. This shows how powerful the Holy Rain Sect is now, and how huge Lin Ran's deterrent power is.
The medicine auction is getting closer, and Lin Ran is not idle either.
"Yes, the magic core of a seventh-level magic beast, and a Dou Zong-level soul."
In the secret room, Lin Ran activated the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, burning the corpse of the old demon and dispelling the remaining corpse gas in the corpse.
When the last trace of corpse qi left the body, Lin Ran snapped his fingers and two streams of fighting qi shot out, directly creating a fist-sized hole in the chest and forehead of the corpse.
"The old demon's attribute is ice, so let's use this seventh-level magic core with ice attribute."
Lin Ran stretched out his hand, and an ice-blue magic core floated out.
This is a seventh-level ice snake demon core, which Lin Ran obtained from those storage rings.
Although Lin Ran gave all the storage rings to Lu Yi, he still took some of the high-level materials and high-level elixirs in them.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Those things were not very useful to the newly established Shengyu Sect and were easily coveted by others. Moreover, Lin Ran also needed these things for his cultivation, so of course he would not be polite.
The magic core was suspended, and under Lin Ran's control, it fell accurately into the small hole in the chest of the corpse.
After doing all this, Lin Ran made a move with an indifferent expression, and a soul bag emitting black mist appeared in his hand.
Amidst the black fog, rich soul fluctuations seeped out from it, looking extremely eerie and creepy.
As the fighting spirit surged, the roars of countless souls echoed in it!
"Release!"
Lin Ran's hand seal condensed, and a ball of gray mist with a sea-blue glow suddenly emerged from the soul bag and flew in all directions as if escaping. However, after taking only two steps, it was blocked by a touch of emerald-gold fighting spirit and could not escape at all.
Wrapped in Dou Qi, the emerald-gold Dou Qi burned slowly like a flame. The scorching heat could actually burn the gray soul body directly, making a hissing sound, but the hissing sound was not loud and was completely covered by the scream of pain.
"Lin Ran! Let my Lin Ran go!"
"I have mastered many techniques for refining medicine. I know many recipes for elixirs and methods to unlock secrets of special secret realms. Let me go!"
"I also know the secrets of many sects in Zhongzhou. Let me go, Lin Ran, let me go!"
"ah!!"
The shrill screams continued until the soul body wrapped in Lin Ran's fighting spirit became silent, and then Lin Ran released the fighting spirit's restraints.
"Be quiet, please, my dear son."
"…"
Han Feng looked at Lin Ran weakly. Although he only had the strength of a peak Dou Huang, the strength of his soul was not weaker than that of a Dou Zong powerhouse, and was even stronger than that.
Looking at the corpse of the old demon floating in front of him, Han Feng knew what Lin Ran wanted to do. He wanted to struggle, but he had no strength at all. He could only utter a weak moan...
"Let me go..."
"I can't let you go. You've seen that I need a Dou Zong strongman's soul to make a puppet." Lin Ran said calmly, "In this soul bag, only your soul strength is just right. If I let you go, won't I be unable to make this puppet?"
"...I can pay the price, any price, please, don't, please..."
Han Feng begged for mercy weakly. He could endure turning into a soul.
For a soul body of Han Feng's level, turning into a soul state is just a change of lifestyle. As long as conditions permit, he can rebuild his physical body at any time.
But once it is refined into a puppet, it's all over!
Because the first step in refining a puppet is to burn the soul, cleanse and purify everything in the soul.
Even his consciousness will be cleared, and at that time... he will really die.
"Any price?"
Hearing Han Feng's words, Lin Ran stopped what he was doing with interest: "Tell me, what can you give me."
"Is it the strange fire attached to your soul, or the medicinal resources you have, or the messy alchemy skills and recipes?"
"…"
Han Feng opened his mouth and fell silent.
Indeed, these were all things he wanted to say, but they all had one thing in common.
That is, as long as he died, Lin Ran would also be able to obtain these, and even obtain a Dou Zong puppet!
"It seems that you have no more valuable chips."
Lin Ran shrugged, green flames burned in his palms, and he gradually approached Han Feng.
"No! No!"
The burning sensation shocked Han Feng: "I still have bargaining chips! I still have bargaining chips!"
"My lord, my lord, I know that you have mastered a kind of strange fire. I have a special secret manual in my hand. That secret manual is extremely powerful, and its value even exceeds the heavenly level!"
Here we come!
"oh?!"
Lin Ran's heart was moved, but his expression remained unchanged. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and disdain appeared in his eyes. He sneered and said, "What a joke, Tianjie, if you have such a martial art, you would have been ranked Dou Zong or Dou Zun long ago, who are you kidding?"
"Not to mention you, even your teacher Yao Chen and the Xingyun Pavilion probably don't have that kind of fighting skills."
"If you want to deceive me with this kind of thing, I'm afraid there's no need for us to talk about anything."
As he spoke, the blazing green flames gradually approached. The scorching heat made a hissing sound as it interacted with Han Feng's soul. The shrill wails and screams resounded throughout the secret room again.
"It's true! It's true! That technique is called the Burning Technique. It was taught by my teacher. It's also what I practiced!"
"It can evolve infinitely by consuming strange fire, but strange fire is hard to find. Even I have only found one sea heart flame in these decades, so the upgrade of the technique is slow. My lord, you have to believe me! Ah!"
"My lord, you also possess a kind of strange fire, right? This fire should be the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, which ranks 19th on the Strange Fire List. Please spare my life, my lord. Please spare my life. I am willing to teach you the Burning Technique!"
"Evolving by devouring strange fire? There is such a strange technique in the world?!"
Lin Ran retracted the green flame and looked at Han Feng with half belief and half doubt. He seemed to have thought of something and a look of realization appeared in his eyes.
"I see. That makes sense then."
"The reason why you killed your teacher was because you practiced this technique. You wanted to seize the Bone Spirit Cold Fire from your teacher, right? You are really a filial son."
"You, you, this..." Han Feng hesitated. If he had a body, he would be shaking with fear at Lin Ran's tone. It took him a long time to utter a word: "How did you know that I killed the teacher?!"
"Haha, guess."
Lin Ran sneered, "I didn't know originally. After all, I'm not a gossiper. But I met your teacher in the Northwest Continent. I didn't expect that you, a filial son, are also in the Northwest Continent. Isn't that a coincidence?"
"What?! This is impossible!!"
Han Feng was horrified, and the fear in his mind even surpassed his fear of Lin Ran at this moment.
"I should have killed that old guy, how could it be possible... Wait, could it be a spirit?!"
"You're not stupid."
Lin Ran smiled faintly and said, "The old guy's soul is currently hidden in a boy named Xiao Yan. It is said that the two have become master and disciple, and their relationship is very close."
"What?!"
Han Feng's soul was trembling, and he was so excited that his entire body was shaking.
Yao Chen has been famous throughout the world for a long time, but he has no offspring and only Han Feng as his disciple. This is what Han Feng has always been proud of. But who would have thought that his teacher is not only alive, but has also accepted another disciple.
Moreover, he is in this northwestern continent!
"So, your so-called Burning Technique doesn't seem to have much value. I can find your master in the northwest and get it from him." Lin Ran said slowly.
After these words were spoken, Han Feng's face froze.
All the messy thoughts about Yao Chen in his mind were gone at this moment, leaving only the fear of death.
Whether Yao Chen is dead or alive is no longer important to Han Feng at this moment. After all, he is going to die, so who would care about his teacher?
Even if the fact that he murdered his master was exposed, he was already dead, so who would care?
The most urgent task is to find a way to save his life from Lin Ran!
"Sir, don't be ridiculous. Even if the teacher's soul is still alive, the vast Douqi Continent is too vast to search for a soul. Sir, you are busy with many things every day, why waste your time and effort?"
Han Feng forced a smile and tried his best to please him: "As long as you get my Burning Technique, I can even peel off the Sea Heart Flame for you. How great would that be!"
"Even if you die, your Sea Heart Flame will still be mine."
Lin Ran glanced at Han Feng and said, "Although the Douqi Continent is vast, Yao Chen is not hard to find. As far as I know, Yao Chen's disciple will go to Yunlan Sect in two days to clear his name, and Yao Chen will definitely be there."
"When the time comes, I will just go over and wait for the opportunity. The Burning Technique will naturally be within my reach."
What? Yao Chen is in the Jia Ma Empire, and he will appear in the Yun Lan Sect in two days? !
Han Feng was very excited, but he quickly suppressed it, and forced a smile and said, "Things like martial arts and fighting skills cannot be obtained by killing. The Burning Technique is extremely important. If Yao Chen has an accident, the martial arts will definitely be destroyed. Then you will lose this great treasure!"
"No, no."
Lin Ran shook his head, his expression indifferent: "One copy of the Burning Technique is not enough."
Han Feng's face froze, but he did not give up.
He is not a fool. Since Lin Ran is willing to talk to him for so long, it means that there is something about him that can attract Lin Ran. It's just that he himself doesn't know what it is.
With this in mind, Han Feng gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Then, sir, what do you think I should do?"
"You are a clever man."
As soon as these words came out, a smile suddenly appeared on Lin Ran's face: "And I also like to talk to smart people."
"You betrayed your master and ancestors. Logically, I should have slapped you to death, but because of something, I now have a different idea."
"I'm going to ask you a question right now."
Under Han Feng's astonished eyes, Lin Ran grinned and spoke in a grim tone.
"Do you want Yao Chen to die?"
