Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

As he spoke, Lin Nan flicked his hand, and the void cracked open, revealing four drops of blood as clear as agate.

The moment those four drops of blood appeared, it was as if dragon roars rose from all around, and fierce auras permeated all directions, extremely oppressive, as if they would split one's brow.

This is……

Everyone's pupils contracted to the size of pinpoints.

"These are four drops of ancient dragon blood essence. Although they do not belong to the Ancestral Dragon, they are still beings at the peak of the Great Luo realm. They can be used to refine the bloodline."

With a flick of his finger, four drops of blood, resembling agate, fell into the hands of the Four Seas Dragon Kings.

The Four Dragon Kings held the essence blood, sensing its aura, their hearts pounding wildly!
Ancient dragon blood essence!

They actually sent it out so easily?

As expected of our ancestor's master!
Seeing all this, even the Dragon King, the Celestial Hound, the Jade Rabbit, and the White Deer felt a pang of envy.

Even Yang Jian's eyes widened in surprise.

"Thank you, senior!!"

The Four Dragon Kings hurriedly bowed respectfully.

"It doesn't matter."

Lin Nan waved his hand.

In fact, Lin Nan has far too much of this ancient dragon blood essence.

The series of reminders that came before him meant that Lin Nan's dojo contained not only the blood of the ancient dragon race, but also the blood of three thousand gods and demons!

But Lin Nan felt that he couldn't give too many disciples.

Firstly, even if we gave it to them, they wouldn't be able to absorb it; a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.

Secondly, what if they get it and then go out and cause trouble?
Impossible! My good disciples, why would they cause trouble?
It must be someone else causing them trouble.

With a twist of the wrist, a glimmer of light appeared.

In addition to the original small wooden table, there were seven more chairs and seven pairs of bowls and chopsticks, all exuding a faint aura of merit!
"Everyone, take a seat."

"Over the years."

"I really haven't had a proper, lively meal with you all."

Lin Nan chuckled and took her seat first.

Then, seemingly out of nowhere, a multitude of fine wines and delicacies appeared before the wooden table, radiating auspicious glow.

"Everyone sit down."

"I have a few questions for you."

Lin Nan smiled and said casually.

But he was completely at ease here.

The others, however, were not like that; their hearts were pounding!
The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas and Yang Jian are not fools.

By now, they have probably guessed quite a bit, based on many things that have happened before!

The seemingly young figure in front of me must be someone of extraordinary background!
There's a greater than 90% chance that he's the mastermind the Xuanfo sects are searching for!
That's true. Besides the mastermind behind it all, who else has such formidable strength?
His robes fluttered in the wind, and he stood there as if the grand road stretched out before him.

With every move he made, heaven and earth trembled, and all paths resonated in harmony with him.

His charisma is unparalleled in the world, and his temperament is unique and unmatched throughout the ages.

How many such beings have existed throughout history? One era after another has passed, and how many remain to this day?
There are only a handful of them!

Even the most powerful beings in the Three Realms might not be qualified to meet such a being!

And now, someone of this caliber is actually inviting them to sit down!
Originally, they thought the mastermind behind it all must be cold, sinister, and arrogant, like an emperor sitting atop the heavens!
After all, every move he made, every scheme he devised, was bloody, leaving behind a trail of corpses.

But now, this young man still acts like an emperor, though he does not sit enthroned over the heavens.

Calm and composed, with a peaceful expression, he was like a gentle breeze to warm people!
Is this really the mastermind behind it all?

It’s really scary!!
Yang Jian and the others didn't dare to make the first move. Meanwhile, on the other side...

The Jade Rabbit and the others were even more excited!
This time, I actually got to have dinner with my master!?

We can actually have dinner together?!

On a table?!
If other people knew, they would definitely be green with envy!

Jade Rabbit and White Deer were the first to run up and sit on either side of Lin Nan.

Then the old Dragon King nervously wiped his hands on his clothes, carefully sat down on a chair, and didn't dare to sit down completely, only daring to sit on half of his buttocks.

Next up was the Celestial Hound, who also came to a chair, extremely excited.

Next came Yang Jian and the Four Dragon Kings, who cautiously walked up.

He only sat halfway down on the chair, sitting upright with his eyes fixed straight ahead.

Especially when they saw that the bowls and chopsticks in front of them were filled with a faint aura of merit, they almost lost their composure and their mentality nearly exploded!
What is this stuff?
Is this the world of the big shots?
The plates and bowls we use for eating are all vessels for accumulating merit.
"Anything will do," Lin Nan said with a smile, picking up some food.

"Yes, senior!" Yang Jian and the Four Dragon Kings answered in unison, then stiffly picked up their chopsticks and bowls.

Lin Nan shook his head slightly, ignoring the others, and looked at the Jade Rabbit and the White Deer.

"You two, it's been so many years, have you neglected your cultivation?"

The Jade Rabbit and the White Deer were startled at the same time.

He hurriedly stood up and respectfully said, "Reporting to Master, this disciple has diligently followed your teachings! I have never stopped cultivating and have never slacked off! My cultivation has improved!"

Lin Nan gestured for them not to be so tense.

"Sit down, everyone. Improving your cultivation is a great benefit."

"But there's no need to dwell on it."

"Although spiritual practice is like rowing against the current, it is not an absolute matter of either progressing or regressing. Ups and downs are the most normal thing."

"The reason I sent you out to gain experience is so that you would experience both highs and lows."

"Instead of simply practicing asceticism in this temple."

"But, Master, I just want to stay in the temple." The Jade Rabbit looked conflicted, her little hands twisting together as she tugged at the hem of her skirt, her cute and pretty eyes red.

Lin Nan gently rubbed the little girl's head without saying a word.

The latter hugged Lin Nan's arm tightly.

Lin Nan then looked at Xiaotianquan, somewhat puzzled, "Where are the others?"

"Why are there only a few of you here at the dojo?"

"Why haven't Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jin, and Mud Monkey come back?"

"Why did you suddenly decide to return to the temple?"

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Hound, the Dragon King, and the others stiffened for a moment, their expressions turning somewhat strange.

Especially when asked about the Celestial Hound, he seemed hesitant to speak.

What are you here for?
Why didn't the others come?
Why can't we say we came here because we were being chased? Did we come to the dojo to escape?

Everyone looked somewhat embarrassed.

Upon seeing this scene, Lin Nan remained calm with a slight smile on his face, but in reality, he was filled with doubt.

What's happening here?
Could it be that something happened outside that led to them being targeted and perishing?
"What happened?"

"Could it be that they've run into trouble outside?"

"It's... a bit of a hassle, I suppose." After hesitating for a long time, Xiaotianquan finally answered, but quickly patted his chest and said.

"However, with the strength of our senior sisters, they have already dealt with it long ago."

Lin Nan nodded, not taking it too seriously, and picked up another bite of food before asking, "You've been outside for quite a while now. What's the outside world like now?" (End of Chapter)
