A mortal, starting with the Heavenly Bottle!

Lin Fan did not pay much attention to these disciples.

Because what he cared about was whether Nangong Wan could come out safely.

It wasn't that he had any feelings for Nangong Wan, but rather that he owed her a favor and naturally didn't want anything to happen to her.

Moreover, if it weren't for him, Nangong Wan could have come out safely.

Under these circumstances, Lin Fan naturally became even more concerned.

Fortunately, Nangong Wan did not disappoint him, and led the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect out safely.

And she still looks like a young girl, not yet out of the cycle of reincarnation.

However, when Nangong Wan came out, she only chatted with Fairy Ni Chang for a few words before turning her attention to Lin Fan.

The two looked into each other's eyes, and Nangong Wan keenly noticed the look of relief in Lin Fan's eyes.

This made Nangong Wan wonder if Lin Fan had any romantic feelings for her.

With this suspicion in mind, Nangong Wan naturally stopped looking at Lin Fan and directly looked away.

Seeing that Nangong Wan was safe and sound, Lin Fan naturally stopped staring at her and withdrew his gaze.

They started paying attention to the upcoming betting game. If nothing unexpected happened, the final winner should be the Old Monster Qiong from the Hidden Moon Sect.

When the time was up, the entrance to the Crimson Forbidden Land closed.

Qiong Laoguai, Fuyunzi, and Li Huayuan then began to calculate the spiritual herbs of heaven and earth that the disciples of the three sects had collected.

As it turned out, the ultimate victor was indeed Old Monster Qiong, and the sheer quantity of spiritual herbs that the Hidden Moon Sect had acquired surprised Lin Fan.

……

After all the other sects had left, Li Huayuan led everyone back to Huangfeng Valley.

After returning to Huangfeng Valley, Lin Fan began his secluded cultivation.

Now that the current issues have been resolved, it's time to focus on cultivation.

At the same time, as soon as she returned to the Hidden Moon Sect, Nangong Wan asked the Fairy of Rainbow Robes who had accompanied her.

"Junior Sister Ni Chang, could you please do me a favor?"

"Please tell me, senior sister. I will never refuse if it is within my power."

The Fairy of Rainbow Clothes agreed without hesitation.

"Could you please investigate whether Senior Brother Lei's disciple has cultivated any special techniques or supernatural abilities? Otherwise, how could he recognize me when I'm in the Reincarnation stage? You know, even for a Nascent Soul cultivator, recognizing me is highly unlikely, let alone for a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him. I have a feeling that this kid is hiding something."

Nangong Wan expressed her request and her suspicions about Lin Fan.

"I also find it strange. I initially thought you told him, but it seems that's not the case. However, do you two have some kind of relationship? Otherwise, why would he give you something?"

The Fairy of Rainbow Robes also became curious and pressed for details, as this matter truly intrigued her.

Naturally, I wanted to find out.

"I did have some contact with him, but it was just ordinary stuff, nothing special."

Nangong Wan also shook her head, directly denying it.

"That's strange. Why would he help you? Could it be that he simply has a crush on your senior sister?"

The Fairy of Rainbow Skirt blinked, her face and eyes filled with curiosity and gossip.

Her words made Nangong Wan blush, and she rolled her eyes at her in annoyance.

"Don't talk nonsense, how could such a thing be possible? Our statuses are too different, how could it be? This matter must not be mentioned again. I'm just curious how he recognized me. I always feel that he has some secret, but I can't figure it out."

"If someone has a secret, it's naturally difficult to discover it. If it were easy to discover, would it still be a secret?"

The Fairy of Rainbow Skirts said with a smile.

She became increasingly curious about the relationship between Nangong Wan and Lin Fan, feeling that their relationship was not simple, yet she didn't know exactly what it was.

"Alright, please investigate this for me first. I'll go find him after I finish this cycle of reincarnation. This matter needs to be clarified, otherwise I won't be able to settle down. It will also have a significant impact on my state of mind, easily affecting my cultivation, which is not a good thing. Naturally, I need to investigate it thoroughly. There can't be any mistakes."

Nangong Wan changed the subject again, unwilling to talk about it any further.

Fairy Ni Chang nodded in agreement with Nangong Wan's words.

"Okay, don't worry, senior sister. I will do my best to investigate this matter for you. Actually, I'm quite curious as well. How he was able to recognize you is really surprising and even a bit unbelievable."

Nangong Wan also cared about what Fairy Ni Chang had said, and that was something she had to figure out.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, junior sister."

Nangong Wan pleaded once again.

After exchanging a few more words, the two parted ways.

Nangong Wan returned to her cave to cultivate, hoping to pass through this cycle of reincarnation as soon as possible.

Of course, Nangong Wan's gains in the Crimson Forbidden Land this time were quite substantial.

Not only did they obtain a large quantity of rare and precious herbs, but they also received a golden chest.

The golden box, in particular, was something Nangong Wan cared about most.

Of those rare and precious herbs, a portion must be handed over to the sect, and only the remainder belongs to him.

However, even if it's just the remaining portion, it will be of great benefit to his subsequent cultivation.

At least there's nothing wrong with the pills. With so many spiritual herbs from heaven and earth, it's natural that many elixirs can be refined to accelerate one's cultivation speed and thus advance further.

But compared to these things, Nangong Wan was more curious about how Lin Fan recognized her. At the same time, she was also more concerned about the Fire Thunder Pearl that Lin Fan had given her.

It was thanks to this thing that she was able to escape; otherwise, she might not have been able to survive the Blood Forbidden Zone.

This incident had a significant impact on her.

……

Another year passed, and no one mentioned the Bloodstained Forbidden Land again.

During this time, Lei Wanhe, because of Li Huayuan, specifically came to ask Lin Fan if he had taken a fancy to a female disciple of the Hidden Moon Sect.

If that's the case, he'll go and propose marriage right away.

However, Lin Fan politely declined the offer.

Although he did not agree, Nangong Wan took the initiative to come to him.

Once she passed through the cycle of reincarnation, Nangong Wan went directly to Huangfeng Valley and came to find her.

It's unclear how Nangong Wan found out the location of Lin Fan's cave, but she arrived at his cave entrance without anyone noticing.
