Chapter 239: Farewell, Strong List, Invitation
"Brother, Sister Xiao Yixian, let's set off..."

Zi Yan waved at Lin Yuan and looked at Medusa beside her excitedly, "Sister Xiyue, let's set off quickly! Those natural treasures are waiting for us to snatch... er, no, to take!"

"Girl, listen carefully to your sister Xiyue when you go out this time." Lin Yuan touched her head and reminded her.

Zi Yan nodded hurriedly, but her eyes moved mischievously...

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, took a step forward slowly, hugged Medusa gently, and said softly: "Xiyue, Xiaocai, Ziyan and Qinglin will be taken care of by you!"

Although the two of them had a lot of fun in private, especially last night, she was still a little uncomfortable with this kind of intimate behavior in public.

As soon as Lin Yuan's arm touched Medusa, a touching blush appeared on the latter's cold and beautiful face, but she did not dodge. After glancing at the others, she gently put her slender hands around her waist.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of these little guys!" She buried her head gently in Lin Yuan's chest and said firmly.

"Ok!"

Lin Yuan nodded, and after a moment, he let go of the charming body in his arms and said in a deep voice: "If you don't see me when you come back, go to Zhongzhou Danyu and wait for me. No matter what happens, I will go there."

After a pause, he continued: "Here is a lot of information I compiled, which can help you have a more comprehensive understanding of the mainland..."

As he spoke, Lin Yuan took out a high-level storage ring and handed it to Medusa.

After reaching a certain level of strength, high-level storage rings, which once seemed extremely precious, became commonplace. He had already seized several of them, and this one was seized from the old demon.

This gap is one of the most intuitive changes after the change in strength.

After thinking for a moment, he finally added: "In addition, you can take Qing'er and Xiaocai to the Tianmu Mountains in the northern region of Zhongzhou. The Tianshan Blood Pool there can help people break through to Dou Zong."

Hearing this, Medusa nodded and took the ring.

After leaving her own mark on the ring, she looked around carefully and saw a lot of medicinal herbs, pills, scrolls and notes in the ring.

Lin Yuan looked at Qing Lin and said, "Qing'er, you should practice well according to the assignments I have given you. Especially the 'Starry Array', which is very suitable for your Green Snake Three Flower Pupils. Study it well..."

The Star Array was the formation that Lin Yuan had traded from Yao Lao for the essence of the Buddha's Wrath Lotus.

Afterwards, Lin Yuan and Reverend Tianhuo carried out a round of adaptive modifications in order to make this formation more suitable for the power of the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils.

Venerable Tianhuo's attainments in formations are quite extraordinary.

With his help, Lin Yuan tailored a very complete phased formation learning path for Qing Lin. The extremely powerful "Star Formation" after the transformation was the final topic of this course.

Qing Lin nodded and said excitedly: "Don't worry, sir, I will do my best!"

Zi Yan who was standing aside, looked at them with boredom. These adults were so pretentious. It was just a separation for a while, but they made it so serious.

Rolling her eyes, she took out two pills, put one in her mouth, and fed the other to Xiao Cai in her sleeve.

As if sensing Zi Yan's contemptuous gaze, the few of them ended their farewells.

Medusa slowly rose into the air, and took one last glance at the Little Medical Fairy, saying meaningfully: "Protect him well... Also, you must seize this great opportunity and don't waste it, otherwise... hehe..."

Seeing the slightly red ears of the Little Medical Fairy, Medusa smiled mischievously. Without further delay, she took a few little ones and boarded the magical beast in the sky.

Afterwards, this Dou Zong-level ten-winged demon snake flapped its ten pairs of wings and rushed towards the distant sky.

Soon, the figures of several people disappeared from the sight of Lin Yuan and Xiao Yixiang.

Retracting his gaze from afar, Lin Yuan turned his head to look at Xiao Yixian and asked, "Xiao Yixian, what is your current progress? When do you expect to be able to condense the poison pill?"

"One month!" The Little Medical Fairy pondered for a moment and gave an answer.

"According to my current progress in cultivation, in another month, my soul will be able to break through to the late stage of the mortal realm. By then, my soul power and flame control will be enough to support the completion of the Fire Gathering Pill Condensation."

"A month? That's still in time!" Lin Yuan smiled with relief and was about to say something when suddenly...

"Hey——"

The sound of an ancient bell suddenly rang out from deep within the inner courtyard and soon spread to the entire inner courtyard.

“This year, it’s that time too!”

As the bell rang in his ears, Lin Yuan's eyes showed a little more smile, and he looked towards the central square of the inner courtyard.

"Lin Yuan, what is this?" The Little Medical Fairy looked at Lin Yuan in confusion.

"Haha!" Lin Yuan laughed, turned his head and looked at Little Medical Fairy, and said gently: "It's the annual grand event of the inner courtyard - the Strong Ranking Competition is about to begin. Little Medical Fairy, cultivation requires a combination of work and rest. This opportunity is rare, so why not go and see the excitement."

As he spoke, he smiled and extended his hand to the Little Medical Fairy, and said gently, "I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to enjoy this gathering?"

"The Strongest Ranking Conference?" A hint of curiosity flashed in the eyes of the Little Medical Fairy.

In her past experience, she had never seen such a large-scale activity among young people.

Looking at Lin Yuan's outstretched right hand, the Little Medical Fairy smiled and stretched out her own jade hand, gently placing it on Lin Yuan's palm, "Since it's your invitation, let's go and take a look together!"

"Haha, thank you for your presence, let's go..."

With a bright smile, Lin Yuan took the little medical fairy's hand, walked leisurely towards the arena in the central square of the inner courtyard.

In various places in the inner courtyard, students with different faces but all possessing impressive auras suddenly opened their tightly closed eyes, their brilliance mixed with a fiery fighting spirit, rising rapidly in the sound of the ancient bell...
-
Inner courtyard, Panmen.

Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes, slowly stood up, and with a wave of his hand, the Xuan Zhong Ruler suddenly appeared.

A bony hand stretched out and firmly grasped the familiar ruler handle. With the skillful exertion of strength in his hand, the wide ruler sliced ​​through the air, making a whistling sound, and was finally inserted diagonally into the back.

"Go, Xiao Yanzi, put a perfect end to this period of time!" Yao Lao's voice sounded in his heart.

"Yes, teacher!" Xiao Yan nodded and smiled confidently.

He received news from Lin Yan that the Brute Force King, whose strength was obviously beyond the standard, would not participate in the competition this year. This was a rare opportunity.

Winning first place and the special reward of going straight to the King of Fighters... may be within your reach.

Feeling the powerful aura rising from everywhere, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, and the burning fighting spirit surged in his chest, and the aura of the eight-star Dou Ling swept out...

He opened the door, took firm steps, and walked slowly out of Panmen. Looking at the Panmen members waiting in front of the door, and looking at Wu Hao and Hu Jia in front of the team, Xiao Yan laughed loudly and said, "Everyone, let's go and watch me win for Panmen. The first place on the strong list, I, Xiao Yan, have reserved it..."
-
Inner courtyard, central square arena.

This place is usually not open to the public. It is only opened when the inner courtyard holds a competition. And as the most exciting "Strong List" competition in the inner courtyard, this is naturally the best place to hold it.

On the high platform, Lin Yuan and Xiao Yixian leaned on the railing and looked into the distance at the many students below.

"It really is, so lively!"

Looking at the people below with a fiery atmosphere, Little Medical Fairy said softly that although as the leader of the Poison Sect, she had seen many bigger scenes, but this was the first time she had seen such a 'vital and flourishing' atmosphere.

Lin Yuan's eyes passed over the people of Panmen and scanned some figures below, Han Yue, Liu Qing, Lin Xiuya, Lin Yan...

Among these "familiar" names, only Han Yue had a small interaction with him.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan felt a little emotional.

If it weren't for the Life Devouring Pill, he would have been one of the people below today. It was the Life Devouring Pill that gave him the qualifications to transform the information in his mind into resources and strength.

The Life-Devouring Pill truly became his wings, allowing him to gain the qualifications to surpass everyone else.

The recipe for the Life-Devouring Pill was now quietly lying in the Dark Sea Ring - the Seven-Star Network that was casually laid out finally brought a small unexpected gain.

A few days ago, the Jia Ma Empire, which was affiliated with Tian Shu, sent medicinal materials and collected rare items to the Black Horn Region according to Lin Yuan's order. Among them, there were two Life Devouring Pills and the recipe for the Life Devouring Pills.

According to the intelligence, the treasure was obtained by the Gama royal family in a deep mountain when they were plundering in Gama.

After Lin Yuan learned about this, he basically concluded that the recipe and elixir were exactly the Life-Devouring Pill and recipe that Xiao Li obtained by chance in the original time and space trajectory.

The Life-Devouring Pill is of little use to Lin Yuan now.

However, the method contained in the Life-Devouring Pill, which was to exchange longevity for increased strength, gave Lin Yuan a lot of inspiration.

Retracting his thoughts, Lin Yuan looked down with interest.

And on the field, Xiao Yan, who has already become an eight-star Dou Ling, is showing off his strength to the fullest.

Even without using the Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire, he still defeated many students at the top of the rankings with his overwhelming strength. This powerful attitude instantly made him as popular as Liu Qing, and he gained many fans.

This is the Douqi Continent. As long as you have the strength, popularity will be within your reach.

"I didn't expect you would be interested in the students' competition."

A light laugh suddenly sounded, the space swayed slightly, and Su Qian's figure appeared behind Lin Yuan, "Lin Yuan, do you want to go down and host a few games, so that the students can see the style of the number one prodigy of Canaan Academy?"

"Forget it!" Lin Yuan shook his head.

Lin Yuan looked at the students who were fighting fiercely below, his eyes a little vague, "The Strong Ranking Competition is their moment of glory, I... it's better not to steal the show."

"That's... quite true." Su Qian nodded in agreement.

With eyes narrowed slightly, Su Qian looked at Lin Yuan meaningfully and said softly: "With your current strength, if you were on the same stage with the students, they would instantly be eclipsed. For a genius of your level, there are more suitable stages to show off..."

"Is this a stage suitable for me?"

Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and he looked straight at Su Qian, "Great Elder, there is something else behind your words! Given our relationship, why not speak frankly..."

Su Qian nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Lin Yuan, do you still remember what I told you about the relationship between Canaan College, the dean, and the Thunder Clan?"

When he heard the word "Thunder Clan", Lin Yuan's eyes showed a bit of solemnity.

"This matter is of great importance, so of course I remember it. The dean himself is an elder of the Thunder Clan, and the Canaan Academy he founded is considered to be a subsidiary force of the Thunder Clan to a certain extent. Could it be that the stage that the great elder mentioned... is related to the Thunder Clan?"

Su Qian smiled and said, "That's right. Because of the relationship with the dean, Canaan College has this thing..."

As he spoke, he flipped his hand and a jade sticker flew out from the ring and landed on his palm.

Looking closely, it was a silver jade sticker with many mysterious patterns on it. It gave people a very magical feeling. As the silver light was emitted, low thunders sounded.

"Great Elder, what is this?" Lin Yuan looked at Su Qian with confusion.

"Haha!" Su Qian smiled softly and said calmly, "Invitation! This is an invitation, an invitation to attend the Thunder Clan's 'First Thunder Ceremony'!"

"Invitation, Chu Lei Dian Ceremony?" Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "Grand Elder, can you tell me more about this matter?"

Su Qian nodded, brushed his fingertips lightly across the silver jade sticker, and began to explain in detail.

"In another year, it will be the Thunder Clan's 'First Thunder Ceremony' which is held every twenty years. This ceremony is similar to the Thunder Clan's coming-of-age ceremony. It is an extremely important ceremony and many powerful or friendly forces will be invited to attend the ceremony!"

"The dean is from the Thunder Clan and has a high status in the Thunder Clan. Canaan College is naturally qualified to watch the ceremony."

He shook the silver jade sticker in his hand, and his voice became a little more ethereal.

"This invitation jade card is a special jade card that the dean obtained with his special identity in the Thunder Clan. Unless there are special circumstances, this card will not be recycled and can be reused. And if you hold it, you can enter the Thunder Realm to watch the ceremony..."

After a pause, a trace of distress flashed in Su Qian's eyes: "However, although the academy has this jade sticker, I have rarely attended the ceremony. The reason is..."

Su Qian didn't elaborate, but Lin Yuan could basically guess it... It was nothing, just that he wasn't strong enough.

With the current strength level of everyone at Canaan College, going to participate in the grand gathering of the ancient ancestral lineage, that feeling... would definitely not be too wonderful.

"So, what does the Great Elder mean?" Lin Yuan's eyes showed some anticipation.

Su Qian smiled and threw the jade invitation to Lin Yuan. A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. He said, "This invitation is completely up to you! Whether you go to the ceremony or not, and whether you do anything else, it's up to you..."

"However, I feel that the stage where the top geniuses compete is the most suitable stage for you."

"Fight? Stage?"

Noticing a detail, Lin Yuan's eyes were slightly stern. "Great Elder, isn't the 'First Thunder Ceremony' a rite of passage for the Thunder Clan? Why do you say it is a stage for geniuses to compete with each other, and a stage suitable for me?"

"Could it be that this 'First Thunder Ceremony' is not just a simple Thunder Clan coming-of-age ceremony?"
