CHAPTER 701: CHAPTER 699: THE PERSON FROM THE SUMERU CONTINENT! (1ST UPDATE)

"Let’s take a look at the situation first. After all, this matter is related to the survival of the Divine Wind Continent!" Lin Fan turned back, looked at Sima Xuan, and shook his head.

Sima Xuan hesitated for a second before speaking, "Then, Master Lin, what do you plan to do? Do you really have a way to save the Divine Wind Continent?"

"No."

Lin Fan answered directly, speaking confidently without any hesitation.

Sima Xuan: "..."

A wave of speechlessness struck her heart!

"Master Lin, you are really... quite interesting... I don’t even know how to respond..."

"Haha!"

Lin Fan laughed heartily, "Mainly because I dislike those people’s faces, they concede without even trying! So what if the extraterritorial Heavenly Demons come? Fleeing without a fight is not in Lin Fan’s nature, even if death awaits, I still want to give it a try."

"Moreover, those people are from the Divine Wind Continent, aren’t they? If they don’t care about their own homeland, even if I go to the Sumeru Continent, I’d be ashamed to associate with them!"

Though Lin Fan spoke in a joking tone, he said these words.

But Sima Xuan could tell that Lin Fan’s words came from his heart.

However.

Sima Xuan was somewhat surprised; she hadn’t expected Lin Fan to reply this way!

"Master Lin, you really are exceptional. Should the extraterritorial Heavenly Demons one day descend upon the Divine Wind Continent, I hope to fight alongside you!" Sima Xuan looked deeply into Lin Fan’s eyes.

Then, she turned around and took her leave.

After all.

The invasion of the extraterritorial Heavenly Demons was a matter of utmost importance; she must inform the powers behind her to make preparations as early as possible.

After leaving the square, Lin Fan made preparations to first acquire a Breakthrough Ship.

Although Lin Fan had a Breakthrough Ship in his possession, that ship was simply too small.

To return to Holy Mansion from Divine Wind Continent, one has to traverse a vast expanse of the Void. The risk factor in such a tiny Breakthrough Ship is very high and it is quite unsafe.

Lin Fan decided to first get his hands on a Breakthrough Ship, then consider the journey back to Holy Mansion Continent!

Anyway, he wasn’t in a hurry for the moment!

Emperor Gray City was very large, and this was Lin Fan’s first time seriously exploring Emperor Gray City. Maybe there wouldn’t be an opportunity afterward, so Lin Fan wasn’t anxious.

Following the bustling streets of Emperor Gray City, Lin Fan discovered many shops along the way.

After seeing a few Spiritual Medicine stores, Lin Fan entered one of them.

He purchased a large quantity of Spiritual Medicine seeds!

Planning to find time to plant them all in the Gathering Spirit Array within Mystic Iron Mountain.

Lin Fan was pondering which auction house to visit next to see if there were any Breakthrough Ships available when suddenly, his eyes lit up as he saw a familiar building...

Wanbao Pavilion!

With the same ninety-nine floors, constructed incredibly luxuriously, this Wanbao Pavilion was more than a hundred times more extravagant than the one Lin Fan had seen previously, and the flow of people in front of the pavilion was massive.

Without hesitation, Lin Fan walked straight into Wanbao Pavilion.

"Hello, sir, may I know your name and how may I assist you?" A good-looking woman came up to him and smiled as she asked.

"My name is Lin Fan, and I need a Breakthrough Ship that can traverse the entire upper plane." Lin Fan said indifferently.

"Lin Fan?"

The woman paused, then exclaimed in surprise, "Master Lin, may I ask if you did a big deal with our Wanbao Pavilion a few days ago?"

"Indeed, it was your Young Pavilion Master who received me. But how did you know?" Lin Fan was somewhat surprised.

"Indeed, it is Young Master Lin!"

The woman was overjoyed and did not dare to neglect, she quickly explained: "Young Master Lin, it’s like this, our Young Tower Master has already instructed that whenever you visit Wanbao Pavilion, no matter which branch it is, you will be treated as a prestigious guest. This was only relayed to us two days ago. I thought it might have been someone with the same name, but it’s really you, Young Master Lin!"

"Hehe."

Lin Fan responded with a light smile.

Treated as a prestigious guest?

It seems that the Young Tower Master is quite good at doing business.

However, it’s mainly because the last time Lin Fan took out four hundred 1-million-year-old medicinal materials, which truly shocked everyone.

It’s like in Earth, if a bank suddenly got a big client who withdrew four hundred billion in cash to deposit.

Most likely, even the bank president would personally attend and worship you like an ancestor!

"Young Master Lin, please follow me. The Young Tower Master has instructed that as soon as you reach Wanbao Pavilion, you’ll be given the best treatment! The Young Tower Master is actually here right now, I will go invite her immediately!" The woman said with a smiling face, leading Lin Fan to the VIP room.

This happens to be the eighty-eighth floor of Wanbao Pavilion.

The huge natural crystal windows are built similar to the floor-to-ceiling windows on Earth.

Standing at the window, Lin Fan looked forward and could see the situation inside Emperor Gray City, the view was very vast.

Not long after.

Ning Ruoxue arrived.

Not only did she arrive, but also a young man who entered the VIP room with Ning Ruoxue.

"Are you Lin Fan? I’ve heard about you from Ruoxue. You act quite splendidly, huh! To directly take out four hundred 1-million-year-old medicinal materials. Alright! I won’t ask where you got these medicines from; now, no matter how much medicine you still have in your hands, I will purchase them all on behalf of Ruoxue! I can even give you an additional twenty percent on the price!"

The young man stepped forward, unapologetically sizing up Lin Fan with his eyes.

Lin Fan’s eyebrows furrowed.

This feeling of being casually scrutinized and probed with Divine Sense was unpleasant.

However.

Out of regard for Ning Ruoxue, Lin Fan did not get angry.

"Young Master Lin, don’t mind him. This is Xuan Yun, the Young Master of Xuan Clan from the Upper Plane’s Sumeru Continent, and our Ning Family has a long-standing relationship with his. What he said earlier was a bit abrupt. I apologize!" Ning Ruoxue quickly spoke up.

"Ruoxue, why are you apologizing to him? He’s just a cultivator in the early stage of unification, and from the Divine Wind Continent at that. Heh, don’t you know, the Divine Wind Continent... who knows how long it will last!" Xuan Yun said with a meaningful smile.

Lin Fan was slightly surprised in his heart.

Xuan Yun actually came from the Sumeru Continent, and judging by Ning Ruoxue’s tone, she seems to be from the Sumeru Continent as well.

Could it be.

Xuan Yun also knows about the matter of the otherworldly Heavenly Demons?

"Right, Lin Fan, what do you think about my offer? I can give you an additional twenty percent of Xuan Stones," said Xuan Yun with a chuckle, looking at Lin Fan.

"I no longer have any Spiritual Medicines on me," Lin Fan said with a somewhat cold voice.

"Tsk! I knew it, medicinal materials with a million-year history, although not too rare, are also not something that can be obtained so casually. This Lin Fan probably got lucky, maybe stumbled upon some ancient inheritance’s treasure trove! Well, anyway, the Divine Wind Continent... heh, it’s not interesting!" Xuan Yun shook his head.

Then.

He ignored Lin Fan and turned his head to look at Ning Ruoxue, smiling and saying, "Ruoxue, when do we return to the Sumeru Continent?"

Ning Ruoxue frowned, gave Xuan Yun a glance, and said, "Big Brother Xuan Yun, let’s discuss this after I finish attending to Young Master Lin, shall we? After all, Young Master Lin is our Wanbao Pavilion’s prestigious guest."

"Fine! That’s your job, I won’t make it difficult for you. You guys talk, and I’ll just listen here," Xuan Yun said nonchalantly as he found a chair and leisurely took a seat.

However, his gaze flickered subtly, sweeping over Lin Fan as if nonchalantly.
