The Strongest Landlord in History

Now that the things here are almost done, there will be no use in staying here. Lin Lan thought.

With this thought in mind, Lin Lan stood up and told the Kirin-armored beast to hide here and finish the ice heart fruit quietly. He quickly walked towards the old man guarding the tomb.

At this time, there were seven or eight people sitting and resting in the open space next to the old man guarding the tomb.

Lin Lan understood that the people who could stay here now were those who successfully challenged the puppet.

In other words, these people are all pretty good.

"It seems that your problem has been solved."

The old man guarding the tomb noticed Lin Lan early in the morning, and when Lin Lan approached, he said with a smile.

"Um!"

Lin Lan said gratefully.

"The power in my body has been suppressed. Thank you for your guidance, senior."

"No need to thank me. Whatever you gain is the result of your own efforts."

The old man guarding the tomb waved his hand, pointed at the people behind him, and said to Lin Lan:

"Like you, they all successfully passed the challenge. You can go over and wait with them."

"good!"

Lin Lan nodded in agreement.

When he passed by the old man guarding the tomb, he heard the old man admonishing him in a small voice.

"Pay attention to the two people on the far left. They came to the fourth floor earlier than you and have successfully challenged the puppets of the same level."

Lin Lan's mind moved and he nodded without any trace.

The voice of the old man guarding the tomb was not loud, and Lin Lan did not need to make a clear statement.

However, when Lin Lan approached the senior disciples who had successfully passed the test, a young man sitting on the far left of them suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Lin Lan.

He asked: "Are you Lin Lan?"

"Who are you?"

Lin Lan immediately lost her temper when she heard the other party's harsh tone.

What he dislikes the most is the type of person who pulls them off as soon as they meet, as if everyone owes him money.

"My name is Zong Yang."

Zong Yang sneered.

"I heard about you. Since you can defeat Wang Aoyun, it will definitely not be very difficult for you to challenge the puppets of the same level here."

"Why aren't you interested in challenging some puppets to a higher level?"

Lin Lan could feel that Zong Yang's strength was not bad, but his ability to challenge generals was really not that good.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile: "How I challenge is my business. I'm afraid it's not your turn to tell me what to do."

"Humph, I don't know how to appreciate it!"

Zong Yang snorted coldly.

"If you challenge a higher level, you can get the Ice Heart Fruit, which is several times more precious than the Green Spirit Fruit."

"I kindly advised you, but I didn't expect that instead of thanking me, you actually..."

Lin Lan teased: "Since there are such great benefits, why don't you challenge me, Senior Brother Zong?"

In fact, Lin Lan didn't want to challenge it personally?

It's just that the old man guarding the tomb has already 'bought' him with the benefits of the twelve Ice Heart Fruits, so he doesn't have to waste any more of his own strength.

Originally, the power of the Lake Spirit Stone was, to Lin Lan, an uncontrollable secret thorn in his body that could backfire on him at any time.

But now that he could suppress that power, it became a treasure to Lin Lan.

That was life-saving power, and Lin Lan felt distressed if he used it even a little more.

"Zong Yang, put away your petty thoughts."

At this time, a senior disciple sitting next to Zong Yang suddenly said.

"If you want Lin Lan to be eliminated early, you don't need to use such despicable methods."

Zong Yang's eyes turned cold and he looked at the person next to him who was speaking. He said, "Ding Mingyi, what do you mean?"

"What do I mean? Brother Zong, you naturally understand it better than anyone else."

Ding Mingyi smiled coldly.

"I admit that my strength is not as good as yours. I just challenged three puppets of the same level and I am already injured?"

"But you directly challenged five, and you succeeded. I will not be your opponent when we compete for the Wanshou Fruit later."

Ding Mingyi didn't have any scruples and said directly: "Among the remaining people, I believe only Shi Xiu can compare with me."

"But he is worse than you. So if there is no Lin Lan, you will definitely be sure to get the Longevity Fruit directly..."

"enough!"

Zong Yang shouted coldly.

"Ding Mingyi, don't talk nonsense!"

"Whether I'm talking nonsense, Zongyang, you know better than me."

Ding Mingyi smiled coldly, then looked at Lin Lan and said:

"Lin Lan, I'm afraid you don't know yet, right? We, the Qing Emperor Sect, no matter how powerful we are, can get a Longevity Fruit every year we come here."

"Can I get a longevity fruit every year?"

Lin Lan was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Please give me some advice from Senior Brother Ding."

"I can't tell you what to do. After all, this matter isn't really a secret."

Ding Mingyi smiled softly and explained.

"We disciples of the Qing Emperor Sect, when we come to this fourth level, if we want spiritual fruits such as the Green Spirit Fruit and the Ice Heart Fruit, we need to fight for them ourselves."

"The former needs to challenge puppets of the same level, while the latter needs to challenge puppets that are one level higher than themselves."

"The more you defeat, the more corresponding rewards you will get."

Spirit Fruit, I don’t need to say more about this, right? "

Lin Lan nodded slightly, he did know this.

"On the fifth floor of Babel Tower, there are three kinds of spiritual fruits. In addition to the first two, there is also a longevity fruit that is much more valuable than the first two!"

"It's just that there are only two ways to get it. The first is to challenge the puppet by jumping two levels!"

Ding Mingyi stared at Lin Lan and said softly.

"Lin Lan, I know you are a genius and can challenge warriors at a higher level than you, but you are not invincible now, right?..."

"So the more challenges I take, the greater the chance of being eliminated, right?"

Lin Lan said.

"That's the truth."

Ding Mingyi said.

"Of course Zong Yang wants to use this method to eliminate you."

"And this path doesn't work, so we can only choose the second path."

Ding Mingyi glanced at the surrounding disciples who had passed the test, and said softly:

"The best one among us can get a longevity fruit directly from the old man guarding the tomb when he leaves."

"It's just that once you get this Longevity Fruit, you must hand it over to the sect after leaving the Babel Tower."

"Although the sect will also give some corresponding compensation to the disciples, the value cannot be compared with the Longevity Fruit."

He was explaining the relationship to Lin Lan.

"Ding Mingyi, are you slandering the Qingdi Sect?"

Zong Yang suddenly interrupted.

Ding Mingyi frowned and said, "I'm just telling the truth. What kind of slander is this?"

Lin Lan ignored Zong Yang, looked past him, looked at Ding Mingyi, and asked:

"Senior Brother Ding, you don't know what to do to become the best?"

Lin Lan had already received a promise from the old man guarding the tomb before, and this year's longevity fruit must be his.

He also wanted to know the reason why the old man guarding the tomb said this.

"Leap level challenge!"

Ding Mingyi said: "For all of us who can stay, if someone can successfully challenge the most powerful puppet, then he can directly get a longevity fruit of his own."

"It's that simple?"

Lin Lan was stunned.

Ding Mingyi was amused by Lin Lan's reaction and smiled softly: "It's that simple."

Lin Lan finally understood why the old man who kept the tomb had made such a firm promise before.

"I have the power of the lake center stone. This year's first place will definitely be mine, but..."

Lin Lan clenched his fists secretly, with a blazing light in his eyes.

"It's just that the Wanshou Fruit obtained in this way, a discerning person will know that it is a gift from the old man guarding the tomb to the Qingdi Sect. It is impossible to keep it for yourself. ..."

"Lin Lan?"

Lin Lan suddenly heard someone calling him and quickly turned his head. It was Ding Mingyi.

He looked at Ding Mingyi and said, "Senior Brother Ding, please forgive me, I was in a trance just now."

"Little things."

Ding Mingyi looked at Lin Lan with a strange expression.

"Lin Lan, you don't want to get the Longevity Fruit yourself, do you?"

he asks?

"I have this idea, but with my current strength, it seems a bit difficult."

Lin Lan directly stated what was on his mind.

"Absolutely not!"

Ding Mingyi said anxiously.

"Lin Lan, you should listen to me and wait here with peace of mind. As long as you are not tempted, you will definitely get a longevity fruit."

"Although that Wanshou Fruit doesn't really belong to you, the benefits you can get from the sect will not be less."

Ding Mingyi saw Lin Lan deep in thought and said nothing, and then said: "Lin Lan, I understand your thoughts. However, everything must be done within one's ability."

"I will decide this kind of thing myself."

Lin Lan bowed her hand to Ding Mingyi, then turned and walked towards the old man guarding the tomb.

Ding Mingyi didn't notice that the moment Lin Lan turned around, a sneer began to appear on his face.

It wasn't until Lin Lan walked away that Zong Yang, who was sitting cross-legged next to Ding Mingyi, asked in a low voice: "How was it? Do you think he took the bait?"

"Looks like he's taken the bait! Let's wait."

Ding Mingyi looked at Lin Lan's back, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"If he hadn't come here, this time the longevity fruit would definitely be ours."

"Once we get it, we will have the opportunity to go to the Qingdi Sect Treasure Pavilion and choose three treasures. We will definitely be able to get those things!"

"We have been waiting for this day for too long, but no one expected that Lin Lan would turn out to be a variable in the end."

"If he doesn't take the bait, we'll prod him again when he comes back."

Zong Yang said in a deep voice.

"With so many people watching here, it's impossible for us to attack him directly. The only feasible way is to let him find the tombkeeper himself."

"Then he will challenge himself. Once he is defeated, he will be sent away directly and lose the qualification to compete for the Wanshou Fruit."

"Hopefully he will challenge it directly."

Ding Mingyi stared at Lin Lan's back and lowered his voice.

"The two of us have been waiting for this day for too long. We came to the Qingdi Sect for that very thing!"

"The Treasure Pavilion's

We must get that thing. Handing in the longevity fruit this time gives us a legitimate opportunity to get it. There can be no mistakes! "

…

Lin Lan walked quickly towards the old man guarding the tomb. It had to be said that although he had noticed early on that what Ding Mingyi said was not sincere, he was really tempted.

It was such a good thing to get a longevity fruit that truly belonged to him. If Lin Lan had known about it in advance, he would have gone to the old man who kept the tomb long ago.

"Why are you back?"

When the old man guarding the tomb saw Lin Lan coming back, was he unhappy?

But seeing the sneer on the latter's face, he couldn't help but ask: "Did you see something?"

Lin Lan asked directly: "Senior, those two people came to the fourth floor together, right?"

"Well, you're right."

The old man guarding the tomb nodded and said.

"It seems that their performance failed. How did you tell?"

The old man guarding the tomb is very powerful. As long as he wants to, he can notice what everyone around him says, the expressions on their faces, and the movements of their hands.

So he naturally realized that Ding Mingyi and Zong Yang were plotting against Lin Lan.

It's just that the old man guarding the tomb has a special status. In his eyes, the senior disciples of the Qingdi Sect are just little guys.

It was not easy for him to participate in the intrigues of these little guys.

When Lin Lan returned from taking the ice heart fruit, his kind reminder to Lin Lan was already the best he could do.

"They have so many flaws that it's hard not to discover them."

Lin Lan shrugged and said.

"First of all, I also came from the third floor. I have seen many monsters there blocking the entrance?"

"The other disciples were all blocked outside, but they were the only ones who came in first. This is indeed a bit strange."

"Although these two people are strong, it is impossible for any one of them to get through there alone, unless they join forces."

"Well, this is indeed a flaw."

The old man guarding the tomb praised.

Since their families had teamed up before, why would they undermine each other again at this time?

"What else did you see?"

he asked again.

"This has to do with my experience. It's not like I've never been deceived by others. Whether a person is sincere to me or not, I can tell with just one look."

With a faint smile, he thought of Murong Yanran.

"And Ding Mingyi's performance was too much. I didn't know him beforehand, but he was willing to answer some questions for me, which is pretty good."

"But the eager expression on his face when he heard my true thoughts was so fake."

"That sentence of 'absolutely not to do' is not consistent with the facts we just met."

"I ask myself, I would never say such a thing to someone I have just met."

"Even if I want to stop the other party from doing something dangerous, I will change my expression."

The old man guarding the tomb smiled and said: "It seems that the choice of the little guy next to you in giving you the gifted spirit beast array is not too bad?"

"With this ability to observe words and emotions, you will not die prematurely in the future."

"But I'm very surprised. Ding Mingyi's last words were so sincere. Didn't you really feel touched at all?"

"Touched?"

Lin Lan was stunned for a moment and smiled.

"Why was I touched? His last words seemed to be blocking me, but in fact they were confusing me."

"What are the benefits of obtaining a 'longevity fruit that truly belongs to you'..."

Lin Lan shook his head gently and said: "Everything must be reversed at its extreme. He did it too hard, which only made people more suspicious."
