Chapter 203: I am Lin Fan (6)

Lin Fan took a scroll emitting a faint chill from his sleeve and handed it to Xue Yao.

It was none other than the "Snow Spirit Frost Flower Art: Lower Volume".

"Xue Yao, this Cultivation Technique was tailor-made by Master for you and Xue Yan. I will take you to see Xue Yan in a moment; you must comprehend it well and Cultivate diligently."

Xue Yao took the scroll in surprise, her joy evident on her face.

She knew that the eight God Kings were able to shake the world just by receiving guidance from Master.

And now, having been bestowed a Cultivation Technique, she had practically reached the Peak of cultivation; her heart was filled with excitement.

Beside them, Tianxuan and Zhao Yan looked at Lin Fan with burning eyes. Although they dared not speak, their desire was self-evident.

Lin Fan glanced at the two and said heartily, "Tianxuan, Zhao Yan, today I appoint you as the left and right Protectors of the Void Divine Dao, and I shall impart to you the method to travel through various realms. From this day forward, you shall guard the Void Divine Dao."

Hearing this, the two were overjoyed and hurriedly knelt to thank him.

This was the Supreme honor they had dreamed of; their hearts raced with excitement, as if they were in a dream.

Lin Fan nodded slightly, chuckling inwardly.

In fact, he could not truly wield these Dao techniques; he had merely told them some basic principles he knew. As for whether they could comprehend them, that would depend entirely on themselves.

Lin Fan looked at the two and nodded with satisfaction, "Guard the Void Divine Dao well; do not be negligent."

"Yes!"

Tianxuan and Zhao Yan answered in unison, kneeling on one knee with one hand clasped in a fist against their chests, their Aura surging like a tide.

Lin Fan looked at them with satisfaction, then turned to Xue Yao.

"Xue Yao, follow me."

Lin Fan pinched a golden seal with his fingers. In an instant, a mysterious golden light surged in the Void Realm, gradually forming a golden passage leading into the distance.

He stepped inside, and Xue Yao followed closely behind. Amidst the light, the two vanished into the Void Realm.

At the Yunyin Sword Sect, Sword Intent crisscrossed between heaven and earth, and the mountain Peaks rose from the ground like swords, piercing straight into the clouds.

The vigorous and ancient mountain gate stood atop the Peak, surrounded by swirling white mist, faintly revealing a sharp and vast Sword Qi.

Inside the mountain gate, a massive sword stone stood tall, its surface covered in sword marks, as if they were brandings left by countless experts.

Lin Fan led Xue Yao forward. The Spiritual Qi beside them gathered, carrying a sharpness like a sword blade, rushing toward them as if every step were a test by the Yunyin Sword Sect.

Xue Yao's eyes revealed a trace of respect and longing as she asked softly, "Master, is this the legendary Holy Land of the sword—the Yunyin Sword Sect?"

Lin Fan nodded slightly, looking deeply at the sword Peak ahead, "It is indeed this place. This was once the place where many sword Supremes attained enlightenment. Since you can Cultivate here, you must cherish this Opportunity."

"This Disciple will surely Cultivate well and not disappoint Master's expectations."

"Hm." Lin Fan nodded with a calm expression on the surface, continuing to walk forward with Xue Yao.

In reality, he was panicking internally. He didn't know where Mu Xueyan's residence was, so he could only pretend to stroll leisurely.

Lin Fan called out to Xiao Du in his mind as he walked.

"Xiao Du, is there any way to find Mu Xueyan's residence?"

Xiao Du seemed to have just woken from a nap, lazily yawning, "Of course there is; no matter what information it is, this System has it. Ten thousand merit points per item. Current merit balance is zero, please top up."

Veins throbbed on Lin Fan's forehead, "Xiao Du, have you not settled my mission rewards yet?"

Xiao Du seemed to have just remembered, sounding surprised, "Ah, sorry, Young Master! You have been in secluded Cultivation for over two years, so I just took a nap. I will settle them for you immediately."

A moment later, Xiao Du began broadcasting the rewards: Mission 1 (Completed): Seize the star ancient zither. Mission Objective: Find and seize the star ancient zither, and safely return to the Sect. Reward: High-grade item "Nebula Ring", a large amount of Spirit Stones, and an additional 10,000 System merit points.

Mission 2: Explore the Cliff of Starry Sea (Incomplete). Mission Objective: Enter the core area of the Cliff of Starry Sea, explore the Qin Sage ruins, and obtain clues regarding the Qin Sage's failed Breakthrough.

Mission 3: Escort Disciples back safely (Completed). Mission Objective: While completing the mission, ensure at least 80% of the Xuanyin Qin Sect Disciples return safely to the Sect. Reward: Rare healing Medicinal Pill, 3,000 System merit points.

Xiao Du finally summarized, "Young Master, you have completed two missions and obtained a total of 13,000 merit points. After deducting the current consumption, the balance is 3,000 merit points."

Lin Fan sighed helplessly, lamenting in his heart that this System really "slept soundly".

After obtaining the information provided by Xiao Du, Lin Fan put on a calm appearance and, leading Xue Yao around in circles for a while, finally found Mu Xueyan's residence.

Mu Xueyan's residence was located deep within a quiet bamboo forest. Looking from afar, the snow-white palace intertwined with the bamboo shadows, revealing an icy, cold Aura.

The small courtyard was surrounded by a faint white Spiritual Qi, like a natural barrier.

A small stream flowed murmuringly in front of the palace, its surface shimmering with a faint silver light under the moonlight, setting off the surrounding snow-white flowers and trees, making it tranquil and elegant.

Lin Fan approached quietly with Xue Yao. The two walked through the bamboo path, avoided the patrolling Disciples, pushed open the carved wooden door gently, and stepped into the courtyard.

On the cold jade stone platform in the courtyard lay a long sword, its body as cold as frost and snow, revealing a sharp, keen Aura.

Lin Fan could tell at a glance that this was Mu Xueyan's usual sword.

Walking to the front of the main hall, they carefully pushed open the door and stepped into the inner chamber. Immediately, a crisp, icy breath of snow rushed toward them.

The decoration inside the hall was simple and elegant, arranged immaculately. Particularly striking was a carved wooden couch by the window, covered with a soft white blanket, which was clearly Mu Xueyan's place of rest.

However, the room was quiet, and there was no sign of Mu Xueyan.

Lin Fan looked around in confusion, and just as he was about to retreat, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside.

In his haste, he pulled Xue Yao and quickly flashed behind a screen, then quietly moved into the bathroom on the side of the hall.

The bathroom was surrounded by warm steam. The bathtub was already filled with warm water, and the surface was covered with flower petals, emitting a faint fragrance.

The footsteps became clearer, and a maid's voice came from outside the door, "Young Miss, the hot water is ready."

"Understood, you may withdraw," Mu Xueyan replied.

As the wooden door was gently pushed open, Mu Xueyan walked in, wearing a snow-white long dress.

As soon as her gaze landed in the corner of the bathroom, she immediately spotted Lin Fan, who was wearing a black iron mask, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Master, why are you here?"

Lin Fan's expression remained normal, and he smiled indifferently, "I brought Xue Yao here to let her Cultivate the 'Snow Spirit Frost Flower Art' with you."

Xue Yao immediately turned and bowed respectfully, "Xue Yao greets Senior Sister."

Seeing Xue Yao so well-behaved and gentle, with a beautiful appearance, Mu Xueyan immediately felt affection for her. She stepped forward kindly to help her up and smiled, "Get up quickly; from now on, we don't need to observe these tedious formalities."

Seeing the two getting along kindly, Lin Fan interrupted at the right moment, "Alright, you have plenty of time to chat slowly. Successor of the Void, Mu Xueyan, receive the order!"

He clenched his right hand, and a scroll suddenly appeared out of thin air in his hand, his entire person exuding the majesty of an immortal.

Mu Xueyan immediately straightened her expression, knelt on one knee, raised her hands above her head, and said solemnly, "This Disciple is here!"

Lin Fan placed the scroll steadily into her hands, looking at her with a meaningful gaze, and said slowly, "Xue Yan, Sovereign Jue is about to lead people to attack the Yunyin Sword Sect. This scroll is something Master specifically prepared for you—a method to deal with it."

Mu Xueyan raised her eyes, her gaze filled with gratitude, and gripped the scroll tightly, "Master, please rest assured; this Disciple will definitely do her utmost to protect the Yunyin Sword Sect."
