Chapter 240: Chapter 239: Dragon Qi

Liu Rumei seemed to see what was on Lin Fan’s mind, suddenly smiled, and said discontentedly, "What are you thinking about, you little rascal? Don’t let your thoughts wander too far."

Lin Fan was immediately speechless and thought to himself, "It’s not me who is wandering. Isn’t it because your gaze is too piercing?"

Of course, Lin Fan kept these thoughts to himself and certainly didn’t dare to show them outwardly.

At this moment, Liu Rumei spoke again: "Lin Fan, Zhang already told me about your performance during the intensive training. You did very well, you truly deserve the recommendation I gave for you to attend the assessment of the Royal Academy!"

Lin Fan began to feel moved.

So, it was Elder Rumei who recommended that he could aim for the Royal Academy?

Suddenly, Lin Fan felt very grateful and said to Liu Rumei, "Thank you, Aunt!"

Liu Rumei waved her hand and said, "You don’t need to thank me. Who else am I to you if not your aunt?"

At this point, Liu Rumei paused slightly, then suddenly looked at Lin Fan mysteriously and said, "Lin Fan, I plan to take you treasure hunting. Would you dare to come with me?"

"Treasure hunting?"

Lin Fan’s eyes widened.

Liu Rumei said, "Yes, treasure hunting. A few days ago, an underground palace mysteriously appeared in our Barbarian lands. After research over this period, we have managed to lift the restrictions around the palace. We plan to enter it to treasure hunt in three days. That palace definitely holds countless treasures, and it’s even possible that it contains ancient legacies. Once you obtain any legacy from within, it would be a great opportunity!"

After a brief pause, Liu Rumei continued, "Of course, opportunities often come with risks. Besides opportunities, there might also be dangers. It all depends on whether you have the courage to join me."

Lin Fan didn’t react to Liu Rumei’s words, instead, he asked, "Is this underground palace very powerful?"

Liu Rumei sincerely said, "Yes, very powerful. Its might is beyond description. In fact, to open this palace, both the Poison Sect and the Sky Star Sect had to temporarily cease hostilities, and experts from both sides spent several days together to lift the restrictions around it!"

After hearing Liu Rumei’s explanation, Lin Fan couldn’t help but be somewhat shocked.

To open the restrictions of the underground palace, the Poison Sect and the Sky Star Sect actually paused their hostilities?

It was evident that this underground palace was truly formidable.

Keep in mind, historically, the Poison Sect and the Sky Star Sect have always been at odds with each other.

This also signifies that the underground palace must hold substantial allure.

At this time, Lin Fan didn’t speak but was calculating internally.

Should he go to the underground palace with Liu Rumei?

Without a doubt, accompanying Liu Rumei to the palace would be extremely dangerous, as Lin Fan was sure that those going this time would all be top-level experts, at least at the King Profound Realm, and perhaps even many at the Saint Ascension level.

But just as Liu Rumei stated, the palace surely held endless opportunities.

Finding even a slight trace of opportunity there would be remarkable!

Liu Rumei remained quietly standing on the spot, always smiling and looking at Lin Fan, without pressuring him to make a decision.

After a while, Lin Fan gritted his teeth internally; he had made his decision.

He decided to venture into the underground palace with Liu Rumei.

Although the palace was very dangerous, Lin Fan believed in his Universal Image, which would protect him in critical times, and if he was careful enough, he might not encounter any dangers.

More importantly...

Lin Fan felt that Liu Rumei treated him well and harbored no ill intentions. If there was indeed any danger, Liu Rumei would certainly not ignore it.

Liu Rumei continued to watch the changes on Lin Fan’s face and asked, "Have you made your decision?"

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Yes, I have made my decision."

At this point, Lin Fan paused briefly before speaking solemnly, "Aunt, I’ve decided to go to the underground palace with you!"

"Hee hee!"

Liu Rumei laughed and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t let you down. In the underground palace, you will definitely find the opportunities you need!"

Lin Fan nodded.

His heart also began to feel a bit of anticipation. In the underground palace, could he really find his own opportunities?

"Alright, rest well these three days. After three days, I will come to fetch you, and then we’ll go to the underground palace together," Liu Rumei said.

At this point, Liu Rumei seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Lin Fan, "By the way, you don’t need to go to the cultivation grounds of the Sky Star Sect during these three days. Although the cultivation grounds of the Sky Star Sect are magical and provide clear benefits for ordinary people practicing there, I think they don’t benefit an Unparalleled Genius like you very much."

"So, for these three days, you just need to preserve your energy. As for cultivation and consolidation, once you are in the underground palace, the various opportunities there will naturally help you stabilize your Cultivation and the gains from the recent intensive training. There’s no need to worry."

Three days swiftly passed.

Three days later, Liu Rumei came to find Lin Fan again and said, "Alright, let’s set off!"

Lin Fan was already prepared and followed Liu Rumei directly.

However, when leaving, Lin Fan suddenly felt an unexplainable unease deep inside himself.

"What’s happening? Why do I feel this unease in my heart?" Lin Fan felt puzzled.

Following this feeling of unease, Lin Fan couldn’t help but hesitate.

Noticing Lin Fan’s condition, Liu Rumei asked, "Lin Fan, what’s wrong?"

Lin Fan explained the situation.

"Ha ha!"

After hearing Lin Fan’s words, Liu Rumei burst into laughter and said, "Lin Fan, you don’t need to worry. Besides the young talents like you, the others who will enter the underground palace all have Saint Ascension level Cultivation. Even if there are any dangers inside the palace, they are more than capable of handling it!"

"So, it turns out that a group of Saint Ascension level experts will be entering the underground palace?"

Lin Fan was taken aback.

This made it clear, the underground palace was indeed very enticing.

Liu Rumei and Lin Fan directly boarded a Flying Life and flew towards a destination, leaving the Sky Star minor realm. After a considerable distance, they finally arrived at the intended location.

From a distance, Lin Fan could see mountains surrounding them, one range after another, like giant dragons lying across the landscape; he even felt a wisp of Dragon Qi.
