"Neither his methods of easily breaking formations in the ruins, nor the Star River Son, who had cultivated a spirit body, invading his body only to be killed by him, nor the mental energy dagger he used when defeating Luo Su, were employed by him!"
"Such an unparalleled prodigy, we absolutely cannot make an enemy of him, otherwise Ding Chunxiu's fate will be ours!"
Hearing Elder Han's words, Chu Tiange was deeply shocked.
He said incredulously, "How can there be such a monstrous prodigy in the world! It's a pity that my wish to become his subordinate was rejected. Otherwise, if I could rely on him, it would be of great help to my competition for the position of governor in the future!"
"You have already formed a good relationship with him, Young Master Seven. You must treat the siblings Liu Xiran and Liu Ke, as well as Ji Hong, well. I can see that Mr. Ling really likes this little girl, even treating her like a sister. As long as you take good care of Liu Xiran, Mr. Ling will naturally reciprocate, and you won't lack benefits."
Elder Han continued, "Didn't you see that the owner of Tianxin Tower, Mei Youqian, is merely at the peak of the Qi Refining realm, a merchant who hasn't even entered the Profound Gang realm? With a word from Mr. Ling, he was made the City Lord of Star Sand City! For Mei Youqian, wasn't this windfall from heaven enough?"
Chu Tiange nodded, "Mr. Ling is indeed extremely generous!"
Elder Han's eyes shone with wisdom, "It's not that Mr. Ling is generous, but because in the eyes of such an extraordinary figure, what is a mere Star Sand City, or even the entire Tianchu Province, worth? I'm afraid even the Flowing Cloud Kingdom doesn't catch his eye."
"To be comparable to the Heavenly Origin realm with Qi Refining cultivation means something, you should know. When he enters the Profound Gang realm or even the Heavenly Origin realm one day, won't even the Giant Spirit realm kings have to bow down to him?"
"Mr. Ling's vision is likely countless times greater than we imagine."
Elder Han sighed with emotion.
Chu Tiange was also digesting the shock in his heart and remained silent.
Chu Tiange and Elder Han stayed in Star Sand City for two to three days before leaving with the siblings Liu Ke and Liu Xiran, as well as Ji Hong, and set off for Tianchu City.
At this time, Ling Fan and Liang Hugu finally returned to Jiangnan City, back to Lan Family Fort.
Mogan Mountain Range.
Lan Family Fort.
A month has passed, and Lan Family Fort has become even more prosperous.
The Fire Crystal Stones produced by the Fire Crystal Mine have brought in immense wealth, as well as various precious materials, spiritual herbs, and spiritual medicines.
These materials, spiritual herbs, and spiritual medicines were all collected and purchased from various places by Lan Tianxiong according to Ling Fan's instructions.
Behind Lan Family Fort, the weapon workshop was forging weapons day and night.
The quality of weapons produced by Lan Family Fort was already very good. Now, with the addition of Fire Crystal Stones, their quality has reached a higher level, and they naturally sell better.
Moreover, Lan Family Fort is now flourishing in Jiangnan City, and no one dares to cause trouble. The weapon industry alone has earned Lan Family wealth that was not accumulated in the past ten years in a short period.
Li Shan, who had been accumulating strength, finally achieved his wish and was promoted to a top craftsman, and was successfully certified by the Weaponsmith Association.
Besides the booming industries and businesses, the overall strength of the experts in Lan Family Fort has also improved.
Lan Tianxiong successfully advanced to the middle stage of the Profound Gang realm, and is even not far from the peak of the middle stage of the Profound Gang realm.
In addition, two more elders in the family broke through to the Profound Gang realm.
The number of experts who broke through to the late stage of Qi Refining and the peak of Qi Refining is even more numerous.
Even Lan Junjie has advanced to the peak of Qi Refining, and is not far from the Profound Gang realm.
This is all thanks to the grand formation of Lan Family Fort set up by Ling Fan.
This formation can gather and purify the rich fire element spiritual energy from the Fire Crystal Mine. Cultivating in the formation every day is like having an accelerator, and it would be strange if one's cultivation did not skyrocket.
For a time, Lan Family Fort presented an unprecedented scene of prosperity.
Ling Fan and Liang Hugu had just arrived at the mountain gate of Lan Family Fort.
They were immediately recognized by the Lan Family experts guarding there.
"Young Master-in-law is back!"
The Lan family man in his thirties immediately shouted excitedly in a high-pitched voice.
Soon, the news spread like wildfire, and almost all the Lan family experts in Lan Family Fort rushed out to greet them.
Mother-in-law Li Huimei even walked a few steps faster than Lan Tianxiong.
"Xiao Fan is back!"
Mother-in-law's face was beaming with joy.
Lan Tianxiong, Lan Junjie, Li Shan, and others all arrived.
"Brother-in-law!"
"Xiao Fan!"
"Young Master-in-law!"
Everyone greeted them excitedly.
Ling Fan nodded slightly at them.
His gaze, however, passed over them and fell on those behind.
The crowd naturally parted, and behind them stood a graceful, peerlessly beautiful woman, quietly looking at Ling Fan. Her skin was like condensed fat, as white as frost and snow, her demeanor was serene and at ease, her temperament was like an orchid in a secluded valley, and a gentle smile appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"You're back."
She said with a light laugh.
Ling Fan nodded, then walked over, took the woman's hand, and walked into Lan Family Fort.
"Brother-in-law, wait for me!"
Lan Junjie immediately wanted to chase after them. He was very curious about what Ling Fan had been doing for nearly a month.
Liang Hugu slapped him on the head with annoyance.
"You idiot, my master wants to chat with his wife about life, ideals, and romantic matters. What are you following for?"
Mother-in-law Li Huimei and Lan Tianxiong exchanged glances.
A knowing smile of shared experience appeared in their eyes.
Lan Junjie also felt a bit embarrassed and touched his nose.
"I was too rash, too rash! Then I'll go find brother-in-law later."
Laughter erupted at the foot of the mountain of Lan Family Fort.
However, within the crowd, there was a gaze filled with intense jealousy and darkness...
Han Qing clenched his fists tightly, watching Ling Fan and Lan Xueyi leave, his eyes bulging as if they would pop out of their sockets.
...
Hearing the laughter from behind, Lan Xueyi's face flushed red. She slightly lowered her beautiful eyes. Ling Fan glanced at her, and saw that even her delicate earlobes were flushed crimson, making her incredibly beautiful.
It made one want to bite her.
"You... you just..."
She wanted to say something, but became even more shy.
Ling Fan deliberately asked, "Me what?"
"You wicked guy!"
Lan Xueyi stomped her foot in annoyance and said, "Couldn't you wait until tonight?"
Ling Fan chuckled and said, "It's best to strike while the iron is hot for such things. Haven't you heard, my dear wife, that absence makes the heart grow fonder!"
Lan Xueyi's face was so flushed it looked like it could drip water. She secretly pinched Ling Fan's palm.
However, she did not resist, and obediently followed Ling Fan back to Lan Family Fort.
They returned to their room.
Outside the window was the beautiful and magnificent scenery of Mogan Mountain, with swirling white clouds, verdant green peaks, and the melodious sound of immortal waterfalls and flowing springs.
Inside the window was a beauty like jade, with a face more beautiful than flowers, a voluptuous devilish figure, and a stunningly beautiful and delicate face, truly a feast for the eyes.
Smelling the virgin fragrance so close, even Ling Fan, who had lived two lives, felt his heart stir.
To have such a wife is truly a great joy in life.
He couldn't help but lean closer to Lan Xueyi's face and give her a light kiss.
Lan Xueyi's body trembled as if struck by electricity, and her delicate body went a bit soft.
Her eyes were slightly hazy, looking as if she was waiting to be plucked.
However, Ling Fan did not continue further. Instead, he looked at her with a half-smile.
Lan Xueyi immediately felt greatly embarrassed and said angrily, "You... you're bullying me!"
