A mortal, starting with the Heavenly Bottle!

"What's your relationship with that little girl from the Hidden Moon Sect?"

"Uncle Qi, she is a good friend of mine. To prevent her from getting into trouble in the forbidden area, I gave her some magical artifacts and talismans, hoping that she can return safely."

Lin Fan answered honestly, which was the answer he had already prepared, and there shouldn't be any problems.

Li Huayuan did not pursue Lin Fan's explanation, but simply nodded.

After all, in terms of appearance, no female disciple in the entire Yellow Maple Valley could compare to Nangong Wan.

It was precisely for this reason that Chen Qiaoqian in the team became jealous.

If her older brother hadn't stopped her, she probably would have already gone up to question him.

After that, their Yellow Maple Valley will probably really become a joke, and Chen Qiaoqian will inevitably suffer punishment.

Therefore, Chen Qiaoqian's older brother couldn't help but resent Lin Fan in his heart. Since he already had someone he loved, why did he have to provoke his younger sister?

However, Chen Qiaoqian's older brother also understood that Lin Fan was not actually to blame for this.

It was mainly Chen Qiaoqian who took the initiative to approach him; Lin Fan didn't refuse out of consideration for the Chen family's feelings.

While it's understandable, Chen Qiaoqian is, after all, his younger sister, so it's hard not to feel some resentment.

This incident gradually subsided with the arrival of other sects, and no one talked about it anymore.

Once all seven factions had arrived, they set off for the Crimson Forbidden Land.

As for Lin Fan, his gaze kept drifting towards the direction of the Hidden Moon Sect, making many people even more certain that Lin Fan had feelings for Nangong Wan.

In her heart, she was calculating whether Nangong Wan could safely emerge from the Blood Forbidden Land with the things he gave her.

Regardless, he had repaid the favor, and there was basically no relationship between the two anymore.

But others see it differently, especially the disciples of Huangfeng Valley.

Because Nangong Wan also glanced in their direction from time to time.

And the target was naturally Lin Fan.

Occasionally, their eyes would meet. When Nangong Wan saw the worry in Lin Fan's eyes, her suspicions deepened.

At this moment, Nangong Wan suspected that Lin Fan had already recognized her, but just hadn't said it.

One can't help but wonder, how did Lin Fan recognize him?

Thus, with both sides harboring their own thoughts, they flew for several hours before landing in front of a loess slope.

At this moment, the Core Formation cultivators from the Giant Sword Sect were the first to emerge from the area where several Core Formation cultivators had gathered.

He then walked to a relatively open area, grabbed downwards with his palm, and a giant sword made of mud appeared in his hand.

At the same time, as the fingers of the other hand touched the earthen sword, it instantly transformed into a heavy stone sword.

This scene made the disciples' eyes light up, and they were greatly amazed.

After all, this is an intermediate-level spell that turns mud into stone, which requires at least a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator to cultivate. However, very few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators who are not of the earth attribute would cultivate such a spell.

As for Lin Fan, due to the nature of his spiritual root, he basically only cultivates ice-attribute spells or water-attribute spells.

I rarely practice spells of other attributes. Firstly, they are very difficult to practice; secondly, they waste time; and thirdly, their power might be weaker rather than stronger.

It's far inferior to him directly cultivating ice-attribute spells or supernatural abilities.

At this moment, the Core Formation stage cultivator from the Giant Sword Sect threw the stone sword in his hand forward.

Just when everyone thought it would fly away and disappear, it only flew a few feet before being blocked by the spatial restrictions and turned into ashes.

The next moment, the overwhelming blue light appeared in their field of vision, followed by countless blue wind blades.

This is the wind wall that formed from the entrance to the Crimson Forbidden Land.

Seeing this scene, Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh at the power of the ancient cultivators. He also couldn't help but lament that it was such a pity that the seven sects only sent some Qi Refining stage disciples into such a treasure land.

However, Lin Fan also knew that this was because the seven sects were not strong enough. To freely enter this forbidden area, one would need at least the cultivation level of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, the strongest among the seven sects is only the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect, who is a peak mid-Nascent Soul cultivator. He is unable to enter this forbidden area on his own and can only send his Qi Refining disciples inside to pick some spiritual herbs.

It was a last resort; there was no other way, absolutely no other option.

Seeing this, Lin Fan followed the other disciples and found a place to rest.

Because the location was relatively remote, and because everyone knew his temperament, no one bothered him.

Chen Qiaoqian, not wanting to disturb them because of what had just happened, did not offer them tea or water again.

They were simply discussing with their older brother what to do after entering the forbidden area.

Lin Fan didn't say anything about it, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before he could rest for long, Nangong Wan, who was in the Qi Refining stage like an elf, quietly came to his side.

Thank you!

The voice is crisp, pleasant, and melodious, making one want to listen to it a few more times.

"I should be thanking you, but this isn't the place to talk. Let's discuss this further after you come out."

Lin Fan simply nodded in response to Nangong Wan's thanks. After glancing around to make sure no one was paying attention, he cautiously spoke, without addressing Nangong Wan as "senior" or "uncle."

To avoid exposing Nangong Wan's identity, which would be undesirable.

Lin Fan knew very well that this was a great opportunity for Nangong Wan, and she didn't want to ruin it. After all, Nangong Wan had already helped.

"Alright! Then you'll have to wait for me. After I finish this, I'll come to your sect to find you. This is a communication jade token; as long as you have it, the entire area within a thousand miles will sense it."

Nangong Wan took out a light red jade pendant from her storage bag and handed it to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan naturally didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it directly.

"Okay, no problem. I'll be waiting for you then."

Lin Fan's words made Nangong Wan smile, her beautiful and charming appearance making Lin Fan freeze in place.

For a moment, I was at a loss.

It must be said that even in the Qi Refining stage, Nangong Wan was the most captivating woman she had ever seen.

Especially now, she possesses a charm that she didn't have before.

Their every move was naturally under Chen Qiaoqian's watchful eye.

"See? They're a perfect match, what chance do you have?"

Chen Qiaoqian's older brother said in a low voice.
