Lin Fan called out to the system, "System, I want to sign in!"
"I wonder what good stuff the system will give me today." Lin Fan was already looking forward to it.
After all, just from the first check-in yesterday, he had received the absurdly powerful [Supreme Bone].
So today's reward shouldn't be bad either, right?
The system prompt sounded in Lin Fan's mind.
"Ding! Checking in for the host!"
"Ding! Location: Yunlan Sect. Check-in successful!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in on Day 2. You have received: Xuanling Jade Marrow Liquid!"
"What the heck is that?" Lin Fan was momentarily confused as he looked at the so-called Xuanling Jade Marrow Liquid.
System: "Xuanling Jade Marrow Liquid can help the host refine and temper their physique, making them even stronger."
System: "The host only needs to add a single drop into bathwater and soak for one hour."
"Refine the physique? I already have the Supreme Bone, do I still need to temper my body?" Lin Fan was taken aback.
Is there really anything that could enhance the body more than the Supreme Bone?
I have been looking forward to this all day, but now the system's reward didn't seem all that useful?
"Since it's from the system, it must have some purpose." Lin Fan didn't overthink it and accepted the Xuanling Jade Marrow Liquid.
If anyone else saw this scene, they'd probably want to drag Lin Fan out and beat him!
What was this? Xuanling Jade Marrow Liquid!
Out in the world, this was something money couldn't even buy! If a bottle appeared in the martial world, it would certainly set off another bloody storm!
And yet Lin Fan actually thought it wasn't useful, truly, comparison between people can drive one mad.
But Lin Fan genuinely didn't know its value. He just thought it didn't seem very helpful, that's all.
"You're awake."
Hearing Yun San's voice, Lin Fan paused. Only then did he remember he was still in the elder's private residence.
He hurriedly got up and bowed. "Thank you, Master."
"No need for thanks. You've just broken through to the Dou Zhe realm. You should quickly consolidate your cultivation," Yun San reminded him.
What Yun San didn't know was that Lin Fan had already consolidated it.
"Understood, Master!"
....
After that, Lin Fan left. He was heading to his new residence.
After all, he was now the disciple of the Supreme Sect Master, the junior brother of Yun Yun, and the martial uncle of Nalan Yanran.
His old residence was obviously no longer suitable.
A disciple led the way in front while Lin Fan followed behind.
Along the way, he attracted the gazes of many disciples. After all, he was now the center of attention in the entire Yunlan Sect.
Everyone knew him. There wasn't a single disciple who didn't recognize him.
Lin Fan thought to himself: I've already kept such a low profile, and I still can't avoid everyone's attention. Ah, fame really is a burden!
I must keep an even lower profile from now on.
As he was walking, he suddenly paused. A group of disciples chatting nearby had caught his attention.
"Did you hear? The sect-wide Competition is coming up soon," one disciple whispered.
"What? Wasn't it just the outer sect disciple assessment yesterday? And now the Sect Competition is happening soon?" another asked in confusion.
"You just arrived, so it's normal you don't know. It's been like this for the past few years."
"Oh, I see!" He suddenly understood.
"So who can participate in the Competition?" he asked again.
"Of course, it's the core disciples. You guys don't need to worry about it—it has little to do with you."
"Sect Competition?" Hearing this, Lin Fan was instantly intrigued. "Sounds like fun. Something interesting to watch."
He wasn't planning to take part—just watching the excitement was enough.
He didn't linger to listen to more bragging and quickly caught up to the disciple leading the way.
….
Tagore Desert.
Medusa sat there, her slender jade hand gently propping up her snowy, seductive face, her expression calm.
"How's the investigation going?" she asked flatly.
A nearby maid replied, "The phenomenon yesterday originated from within the Yunlan Sect, located in the Jia Ma Empire."
"Yunlan Sect, huh… The top sect in Jia Ma Empire. Rushing in to investigate would be unwise."
After a moment of thought, she said, "We'll wait until their Sect Competition, then we'll investigate."
"You may leave."
....
Jia Ma Empire's imperial capital!
Jia Xingdi asked a guard, "What did the investigation find?"
"Unclear. The Yunlan Sect is heavily guarded, no way to gather intel."
"Useless!" Jia Xingtian cursed angrily!
But there was little he could do. After all, the Yunlan Sect was the number one sect, even the empire had to give way to them.
"Looks like we'll have to wait for their Sect Competition to investigate."
....
Near the Yunlan Sect, the Ice Emperor Shui Bodong had lingered outside for an entire night.
But seeing that Yun San had come out of seclusion, he didn't dare enter recklessly.
After all, Yun San was already a half-step Dou Zong.
If he wanted to investigate further, he'd have to find another way.
....
Ancient Clan.
In a pitch-black chamber, a black-robed man sat motionless.
Another person appeared within the darkness.
"Well?" the black-robed man asked.
The newcomer respectfully answered, "Yunlan Sect. Exact details are unknown."
"Send someone there."
"Yes!" With that, he disappeared.
....
At the Soul Hall, a long-haired man opened his eyes, gazing out the window.
Behind him stood a black-clad figure, respectfully waiting.
"Yunlan Sect. A heaven and earth anomaly occurred. Specific cause unknown."
"Yunlan Sect… interesting. Go and investigate."
"Yes!"
....
Back at Jia Nan Academy, Dean Mang Tianchi had returned.
He asked, "Any findings on the phenomenon yesterday?"
A mentor replied, "It occurred within the borders of Jia Ma Empire, inside the top sect, Yunlan Sect."
"They're holding a Sect Competition soon. We can use that chance to investigate," Mang Tianchi said.
"Very well. I leave everything to you—see if we can uncover the truth."
....
Lin Fan had now arrived at his new residence.
