Martial Universe: Invincible through lottery, with godlike comprehension from the start.

"Young Master Lin, please show mercy!"

Upon seeing this, Huangpu Long's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted out.

"Be merciful!"

Mo Jingtian and Lin Fan hesitated for a moment, then called out to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan's eyes flickered slightly. His large, almost tangible hand hovered over Huangpu Ying's forehead, but ultimately didn't strike. "Are you convinced now?"

Huangpu Ying felt as if he had just escaped death, and he was drenched in sweat, as if he were completely exhausted.

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Huangpu Ying immediately uttered a hoarse voice, "I'm convinced! I'm convinced!"

Lin Fan glanced at the terrified Huangpu Ying, and with a slight thought, dispelled the giant black hand.

"Thank you for showing mercy, Young Master Lin!" Huangpu Long quickly bowed to Lin Fan and expressed his gratitude, feeling a sense of awe towards Lin Fan in his heart.

Huangpu Long felt that if Lin Fan's palm strike had landed on him, he would have been doomed as well!

"Twenty thousand Nirvana Pills," Lin Fan said calmly, glancing at Huangpulong.

Lin Fan remembered that in the original novel, Lin Fan of the Lin clan donated 20,000 Nirvana Pills to Lin Dong and Lin Langtian to use the teleportation array to enter the ancient battlefield.

The Huangpu clan and the Lin clan are both among the four major clans, so producing 20,000 Nirvana Pills should not be a problem for them.

As for anything more, the other party probably couldn't produce it at all, so Lin Fan didn't bother with any more tricks.

Huangpu Long paused for a moment upon hearing this, then quickly realized what he meant and said, "I only have ten thousand coins on me right now. It may take a few days to gather the rest."

As they spoke, Huangpu Long took out a Qiankun bag and handed it to Lin Fan. This was something he had prepared in advance for Huangpu Ying to use for the teleportation array once she obtained a seed quota.

Lin Fan reached out and took the Qiankun bag, smiling as he said, "Thank you. I hope Chief Huangpu won't keep me waiting too long."

"Definitely not," Huangpu Long replied respectfully upon hearing this.

Now, Huangpu Long no longer hesitated about Lin Fan's ability to destroy the Wang clan. He did not want the Huangpu clan to follow in the footsteps of the Wang clan.

With Huangpu Ying as a role model, no one dared to act recklessly anymore.

Thus, Lin Fan's spot was already secured before the seed selection even began.

The subsequent selection process proceeded without many surprises, resulting in the selection of four more individuals: Lin Dong, Mo Ling, Du Yun, and Man Shan.

After the selection process concluded, amidst the envy and awe of the crowd, Lin Fan, Lin Dong, and Clan Chief Lin Fan left the palace together and returned to their residence in the imperial city.

After returning to their residence, Clan Chief Lin Fan gave Lin Fan and Lin Dong some instructions and reminded them of the Holy Spirit Pool before taking his leave.

"I wonder if the Holy Spirit Pool will still have any effect on me," Lin Fan muttered to himself, raising an eyebrow as he watched the departing figure of Clan Chief Lin Fan.

Chapter 137 The Imperial City is in an uproar; The Trip to the Holy Spirit Pool! [Please continue reading]

Early the next morning.

As a ray of dawn broke through the sky and shone upon the imperial city, this most prosperous city of the Great Yan Dynasty immediately burst forth with astonishing vitality.

All sorts of heated discussions and noisy voices converged and soared to the sky.

In recent days, the talk of the town has been about seed selection.

Almost everyone was extremely interested in and curious about this competition, which was the highest-level competition among the younger generation of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Many people in the capital were eagerly anticipating who would ultimately secure a spot.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the events that unfolded deep within the palace quickly spread throughout the entire imperial city.

Among them, the most eye-catching is naturally the young man named Lin Fan!

With an iron fist, he easily intimidated all forces in the Great Yan Dynasty, secured a seed spot ahead of time, and forced the young master of the Huangpu clan to bow his head and submit. The Huangpu clan even had to compensate him with 20,000 Nirvana Pills...

In addition to his previous feat of annihilating the Wang clan, Lin Fan's name has now become almost a taboo in the entire Great Yan Dynasty!

"I never imagined that Lin Fan's strength would be so formidable!"

"What's there to be surprised about? Didn't he wipe out the Wang clan before? Who among the younger generation could be his match?"

"I heard that Lin Fan was born into a branch family of the Lin clan."

"It's unbelievable that such a person has emerged from such a small branch family!"

"It seems that one's background doesn't define everything!"

"..."

While the entire imperial city was abuzz with excitement over the seed selection results, Lin Fan and his companions had already returned to the palace.

Then, led by Emperor Mo Jingtian, they arrived at the deepest part of the palace.

The location where Lin Fan and the others were situated was an extremely vast primeval forest.

At this moment, not far in front of them, there was an altar.

The altar was covered with strange runes, from which powerful energy fluctuations emanated.

"The Holy Spirit Pool is hidden within the altar, which was built jointly by the royal family, the four major clans, and the three major sects. It is located deep within the palace and is opened once every twenty years."

Standing beside Lin Fan and Lin Dong, clan leader Lin Fan took the initiative to introduce them.

Lin Fan and Lin Dong nodded slightly, indicating that they understood.

Mo Jingtian explained the situation to Lin Fan, then turned to the others and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's start activating the altar."

Since Wang Lei, the patriarch of the Wang clan, was killed by Lin Fan, the Mo family of the royal family invited a half-step Nirvana powerhouse to replace Wang Lei in his position.

Upon hearing Mo Jingtian's words, Lin Fan, Huangpu Long, and the others all nodded in agreement.

Then, the patriarchs of the three major clans, the sect leaders of the three major sects, plus Mo Jingtian and the half-step Nirvana expert from the Mo family, formed a circle, surrounding the altar.

"Let's do it!"

Mo Jingtian let out a low shout first, his hand seals changing, and instantly, a beam of light shot out from his hand and into the altar.

"Whoa!"

Following Mo Jingtian, Lin Fan and the others immediately followed suit, and beams of light shot out one after another, finally illuminating the altar.

"Buzz!"

As these pillars of light enveloped the altar, the altar emitted a strange buzzing sound, and then a halo of light slowly rose from the top of the altar.

Soon after, the halo expanded, transforming into a massive energy vortex.

Lin Fan could sense an extremely powerful and strange energy seeping out from the vortex.

"Within the circle of light lies the Holy Spirit Pool. Mo Ling, Lin Fan, Lin Dong, Man Shan, and Du Yun, the five of you should enter it quickly. As for how much benefit you can gain from it, that depends on your own skills and abilities."

At this moment, Mo Jingtian glanced around and uttered a deep shout.

A fiery light flashed in Lin Dong and the others' eyes. Without any hesitation, they rushed out and disappeared into the circle of light.

After Lin Fan and the other four went in, they were the last to step inside.

As the five people entered the light circle, Mo Jingtian and the others around the altar also sat down cross-legged, constantly activating their energy to maintain the formation of the light circle.

They need to hold out until Lin Fan and his group of five come out again...

As Lin Fan rushed into the circle of light, his vision briefly went dark.

Immediately, a soft light filled the eyes, and a faint fragrance, carrying a damp scent, wafted over.

Lin Fan raised his gaze slightly and saw a huge pool of water in front of him. The water was emerald green and looked full of vitality.

Amazing streams of pure energy continuously emanated from the pool!

Without a doubt, this is the Holy Spirit Pool!

After the five people gathered, Mo Ling smiled slightly and pointed to the Holy Spirit Pool, saying:

"Everyone, according to the rules, the Holy Spirit Pool is divided into five areas, and the five of us will each occupy one. To be fair, let's draw lots to decide our areas, shall we?"

"Okay," Lin Fan nodded slightly, having no objection.

Seeing that Lin Fan had agreed, the others had no objections either.

So the five of them began to draw lots.

After the draw, Lin Dong drew the Eastern region, while Lin Fan drew the Central region.

Afterwards, everyone went to their respective areas and began to absorb the energy from the Holy Spirit Pool.

Lin Fan's figure slowly landed from mid-air onto the surface of the lake in the center of the Holy Spirit Pool. Then, with a thought, a wisp of devouring power spread out from his body, absorbing the emerald green energy in the water.

Whenever this emerald green energy surged into his body, Lin Fan vaguely felt as if the cells, bones, and organs within him were emitting a joyful sound, as if they were absorbing some highly nourishing substance.

"It seems that the energy in this Holy Spirit Pool has an effect on me too!"

Sensing this scene, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel a little surprised and delighted. He immediately began to use his Devouring Power to absorb the emerald green energy in the Holy Spirit Pool.

On the other side, Lin Dong and Lin Fan took the same action, using the power of devouring to absorb the emerald green energy in the pool.

Meanwhile, Little Mink and Little Flame, who had come in with Lin Dong, silently slipped into the bottom of the Holy Spirit Pool.

Mo Ling and the others were completely unaware of this.

This time, without Lin Langtian stirring up trouble, the five of them got along peacefully.

However, because Lin Fan and Lin Dong both possessed the power of devouring, their efficiency in absorbing the emerald energy was much higher than that of Mo Ling and the other two.

Time passed swiftly on the tranquil Holy Spirit Pool, and in the blink of an eye, nearly half a day had gone by.

Mo Ling, Man Shan, and Du Yun were the first to emerge from their cultivation state and slowly open their eyes, each with a faint green glint in them.

Clearly, their trip to Holy Spirit Pool was quite fruitful.

After the three finished their cultivation, they subconsciously looked in the direction of Lin Fan and Lin Dong, and were immediately stunned when they saw the situation of the two.

Suddenly, a bright green cocoon of light formed around each of Lin Fan and Lin Dong's bodies.

On the surface of the cocoon, waves of powerful emerald green energy emanated, making them extremely envious.

"Crack!"

Under the watchful eyes of the three, the emerald green cocoon of light suddenly cracked open.

Lin Dong and Lin Fan emerged from their cocoons one after the other, and then absorbed all the green energy surrounding them into their bodies. Their auras seemed to have increased significantly.

"Congratulations! It seems that both of you Lin brothers have made considerable progress in your strength."
