Strict, is that it?

Chapter 539: Strict, Is That All?

“Damn it, why are there so many illusion formations here?!”

Near a Divine Mountain, Shi Hao roared, a Divine Stone still hanging in his hair, pointing the way and working hard to break the formation.

At the same time, everyone who came with him had dark expressions, as a polite visit had turned into being trapped in a grand formation.

After an unknown amount of time, the mist gradually dispersed, and the group emerged from the formation, looking disheveled.

“Ling’er, I have a premonition that this is definitely not an accident; someone is playing a trick on us…” Shi Hao fumed, cursing.

“Stop talking,” Huo Ling’er pulled his sleeve, telling him to be more serious.

At this moment, Shi Hao was startled, suddenly realizing that the surroundings had quieted down, and everyone was looking ahead with fanaticism, as if on a pilgrimage.

Even the two foreign women who came with him were no exception, their beautiful faces flushed with excitement.

At this moment, their gazes converged, all looking at the person standing on the Divine Mountain.

Faintly visible, it was a man, tall and slender, with a handsome face, carrying the aura of the Dao of Immortals, like a banished Immortal.

“Greetings, Your Highness Little Holy Emperor!” a group of people shouted, unable to hide their excited expressions.

“There’s no need for such formality, everyone; just relax,” Lin Fan smiled gently, taking a step and arriving at the foot of the mountain.

“Hehe, Little Fan Ge, this is my wife, Huo Ling’er,” Shi Hao gestured, pointing to the female companion beside him.

Immediately, the woman in the fiery red dress was filled with tension and unease, as if meeting her in-laws.

Lin Fan smiled and nodded, taking a look, only then realizing that Huo Ling’er seemed a little different; she hadn’t eaten the celestial god fruit as in the original story.

Currently, her cultivation was a bit low, only at the Venerable Realm, and her ability to come to this place was entirely due to Shi Hao’s protection and guidance.

Lin Fan then remembered that several celestial god trees had long been brought out from Immortal Ancient, with the Holy Emperor Palace planting two and one on Immortal Island.

As for the last one, its whereabouts were unknown, and it might not even be in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths anymore; the Holy Emperor Palace had searched for a long time but never found any trace of it.

After all, if the four celestial god trees combined, they would become a Heavenly Immortal Tree, a Longevity Medicine, whose fruits could allow one to achieve Immortal Ascension on the spot.

It could be said that this tree was comparable to the Immortal Realm’s Flat Peach Undying Medicine, extremely precious.

Legend has it that the one who sold fake medicine and decomposed himself, burying himself in Longevity Medicine, initially chose the Heavenly Immortal Tree.

Later, he realized it wouldn’t work and then chose the second Spiritual Root of the Heavens, but the Heavenly Immortal Tree was consequently split into four, greatly reducing its medicinal efficacy.

Even though the Holy Emperor Palace searched for a long time, hoping for the Heavenly Immortal Tree to reappear, the last celestial god tree was still nowhere to be found.

Lin Fan remembered that the specific location of that one was not described; Shi Hao had directly grabbed it from the boundless Void Realm using Immortal King methods.

“Little Fan Ge, what are you looking at? This is my wife; be careful, Yue Chan Jie and Qing Yi Jie will beat you up…” Shi Hao winked.

Of course, no one thought Lin Fan had taken a liking to Huo Ling’er.

To put it bluntly, Huo Ling’er, who had not undergone dark evolution, had mediocre, even very ordinary, talent.

“Sorry, I was just thinking about something and got distracted.”

Lin Fan regained his composure, fumbling in his pocket for a long time before pulling out a test tube containing crystal clear purple fluid.

“This is evolution fluid; after oral consumption, one can immediately become a Heavenly God!”

Upon hearing this, the others gasped for breath; what was this thing that could allow someone to directly ascend to become a Heavenly God?

The few foreign visitors, however, knew a little about it, but they were all envious, because that was evolution fluid, a priceless treasure!

Generally speaking, such an item was priceless and exclusive to the Holy Emperor Palace, only occasionally auctioned off within a certain period.

Moreover, each time it would not be less than a divine medicine.

“Won’t it be too precious?” Huo Ling’er’s face was slightly red; she didn’t quite dare to accept it.

Undoubtedly, it was not difficult to see the preciousness of this item from the expressions of the crowd.

However, Shi Hao had fewer scruples and urged, “Ling’er, why are you hesitating? One must not refuse a gift from an Elder.”

“Thank you, Fan Ge…”

Huo Ling’er thanked him, but she was still a little unaccustomed, unable to face this mythical man as calmly as Shi Hao.

“As expected of His Highness Little Holy Emperor; he is so generous with his gifts. I’m even envious,” the Blue-eyed Woman said.

Furthermore, she reminded Huo Ling’er that while evolution fluid could allow one to become a Heavenly God in one step, almost no one did so.

“Does it have other uses?” Shi Hao asked on her behalf.

“Directly increasing cultivation is the lowest-level approach. If combined with divine fluid and soaked throughout the body, it can develop a person’s Bloodline, potential, and so on.”

At this time, even the cold and aloof woman spoke to explain, her skin like ice and bones like jade, her demeanor unparalleled, clearly not calm.

The Blue-eyed Woman even stated directly that she wanted to exchange a divine medicine for this portion.

“No exchange, Ling’er, hurry and take it to raise your cultivation,” Shi Hao’s big eyes rolled, and he said firmly.

divine medicine can be found, but evolution fluid is unique!

“Here, take it. It would be too wasteful for me to use it,” Huo Ling’er said to Shi Hao.

“I have my own cultivation path; I don’t need this. You take it quickly, and I’ll be your Protector,” Shi Hao shook his head.

At the same time, many people were surprised, looking at the thumb-sized test tube with burning eyes.

Undoubtedly, if it weren’t for their fear of Lin Fan being present, they would probably be unable to resist robbing this woman and fighting Shi Hao.

Therefore, Shi Hao urged Huo Ling’er to take it now, lest she be targeted and attacked on the way once they left this place.

Soon after, he also had to go to a very distant place, hoping that Huo Ling’er would quickly raise her cultivation and gain the ability to protect herself.

Lin Fan saw this and didn’t bother to interfere; since the item had been given away, how it was used was entirely up to them.

“Boom!”

Soon, Huo Ling’er’s cultivation increased at a visible speed, becoming many times stronger in an instant.

“So fast! Her Dao cultivation is growing, and her Physical Body is transforming. This is comparable to the legendary celestial god fruit, isn’t it?” someone exclaimed.

In fact, the celestial god fruit was one of the Materials used to refine evolution fluid, hence it had a partial effect.

“Oh my, I really became a Heavenly God!” Huo Ling’er was excited and filled with joy, losing a hint of worry.

“Now your cultivation surpasses mine, so you no longer have to worry, right?” Shi Hao said with a smile.

Huo Ling’er was thrilled to become a Heavenly God in an instant, which was simply incredible, and the two thanked Lin Fan again.

“You’re welcome. I have already arranged a banquet. Since you are all here, why not discuss the Dao together?” Lin Fan said.

As he spoke, the group became excited, because not only the younger generation had come, but also many Master Level figures.

They hadn’t seen Lin Fan for so many days, and only today, by following Desolate, did they finally get to meet him, so they naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity to get closer.

“Your Highness Little Holy Emperor, the three Elders of the Academy asked me to inquire if you have any instructions regarding this selection in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces,” the Blue-eyed Woman asked.

“The Elders can decide; I have no objections.

But there’s one thing: this cultivation of the younger generation is for the upcoming great war, and there must be no imposters.

Those who are afraid of death, who only want to enjoy resources, are strictly forbidden from entering the Celestial God Academy. We do not support idlers.”

Lin Fan spoke, not only to the few foreign visitors but also to warn the various sects of the Three Thousand Provinces not to try to be clever.

Everyone was startled, sensing that this was not a joke, or there would be serious consequences.

“Of course, the Celestial God Academy’s enrollment is fair and just; it will not target anyone. To join and receive重点培养 (key cultivation), everything depends on strength.”

Lin Fan added.

People breathed a sigh of relief; being strict was also good, lest the younger generation overestimate themselves and needlessly lose their lives.

However, some people secretly cursed, thinking this Little Devil was immoral, taking so many gifts, and this was the result?

A typical case of taking money without doing the job!
