“Lin Ran is actually talking to you!”
“Oh my god, Li Ba, you kid got lucky!”
“Yes! If you ask me, you might as well just follow Lin Ran, now that Yue Qunshan has all run away, when will you be able to leave Qionghua Mountain!”
The crowd chattered.
They, the followers, could not possibly leave Qiong Hua Mountain unless their master could leave.
“Right! I want to follow Lin Ran!”
This thought also popped up in Li Ba’s mind.
As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a good tree, not to mention that he was only a follower, so if he could follow a powerful master, it would be a chance for him too.
Lin Ran was naturally not aware of all this, at this moment he had already reached the eighth floor of Qiong Hua Tower.
The guards at Qiong Hua Tower were generally very simple, and Lin Ran naturally did not waste much effort.
After setting two new records again, he had already reached the ninth floor.
The eighth and ninth floors were already considered closer to the core of Qiong Hua Tower.
Here, Lin Ran had carefully gone through all the books and materials.
However, there was still no record of the Mysterious Alliance.
But strangely enough, on the eighth and ninth floors, Lin Ran found a large number of combined attack formations.
“These combined attack formations are all very strange, they are more inclined to be used by multiple people, starting with five people at every turn and up to a hundred people!”
Lin Ran couldn’t help but frown slightly as he looked at these combined attack formations in front of him.
“Kid the facts prove to you once again that this Qiong Hua Mountain is a soldier making factory, almost certainly,? Once you leave Qiong Hua Mountain, what you will have to face in the future is war!”
The Pillow Book said.
“You mean these combined attack formations are all preparations for future wars?”
Lin Ran asked.
“Right!”
The Pillow Book nodded.
“This kind of thing, which in my world is called Dao Soldier Armour, is frankly something that allows soldiers to form joint battles!”
“What about these combined attack formations?”
Lin Ran asked.
“Pretty rubbish!”
The Pillow Book laughed.
“The best combined attack formations here are no match for the lowest level ones in my world!”
With that, an ancient book flew over.
“If you have to choose, then pick this one, this Five Elements Combination Formation is perfect for you!”
The pillow book said.
“The Five Elements Combination Formation?”
Lin Ran was stunned and instantly flipped through it to come up with it.
“The Five Elements Combined Attack Formation is based on the five elements, with five people forming a squad when combining, and each squad can also be united into a larger Five Elements Combined Attack Formation by one square!”
“Holy Sh*t, this is a formation within a formation!”
Lin Ran quickly discovered the subtleties of this Five Elements Combined Attack Formation.
“That’s right, all changes in the monastic path are the same, this Five Elements Combined Attack Formation doesn’t have the process of anti-locking, and a flashy appearance, but the practicality is right up there with the first.”
Pillow Book said.
“Good! That’s it then!”
Lin Ran smiled as he jotted down the Five Elements Combined Strike Formation.
He then went around the ninth floor again and found many weapons of attack, including a book called the Condensing Frost Sword Sword Technique.
“It’s a pity, this Condensing Frost Sword is also a good thing, but I can’t take it away with me!”
With a regretful face, Lin Ran put the Condensing Frost Sword Sword Technique back into its original place, before getting up and walking towards the exit.
The Qiong Hua House was indeed of little use to him, the gong methods he was a medical practitioner the gong methods here were useless to him, and the entire nine floors down was only a combined attack formation method that was still okay.
“Brother!”
Just as he reached the ground floor, Li Ba greeted him again.
“Something wrong?”
Lin Ran looked at Li Ba.
“Lin Ran! Can you let me be your follower!”
Li Baba suddenly bowed respectfully.
“A follower?”
Lin Ran was stunned and busily pulled Li Baba up.
“That’s not good!”
“There’s nothing bad about it, Yue Qunshan has already left and he has never been able to look at me, Lin Ran I, Li Ba, want to follow you!”
Li Ba looked at Lin Ran, his eyes making heat.
“Don’t worry, I can make a blood oath, if there is betrayal …..”
Before Li Ba could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lin Ran.
He swept his gaze over the crowd, many of those here were followers.
“Do you all know where you are going after leaving Qiong Hua Mountain?”
The crowd all shook their heads at his words, indicating that they didn’t know.
“Then I’ll tell you all that leaving Qiong Hua Mountain will probably mean going to war, do you still want to leave?”
Lin Ran said indifferently.
At once everyone was silent.
“Now do you still want to follow me?”
Lin Ran looked at Li Ba.
“Yes!”
Li Baba, however, had a determined face.
“We’ve all heard about going to war, although we can’t be sure if it’s true! But there is one thing I do understand, Qiong Hua Mountain won’t always keep us followers!”
“Instead of being randomly a*signed to others by Mount Qionghua in the future, we should decide our own future now!”
Li Ba said and looked towards Lin Ran.
“Brother Lin Ran, although I am not strong, I, Li Bajie, am willing to follow you to my death and lead the way!”
With that Li Ba actually knelt down.
“You’ve thought about it?”
Lin Ran looked at Li Ba.
“I’ve thought about it!”
Li Ba nodded his head firmly.
“Fine! Drop your blood on it, and you are my follower!”
Lin Ran took out a talisman and handed it to Li Ba, none other than the Same Life Talisman!
Li Ba did not hesitate in the slightest and directly dropped a drop of blood onto it.
“Very well!”
Lin Ran put away the Same Life Talisman and then said.
“Since you’re my follower, you can’t slack off, from today onwards the first six floors within Qiong Hua Tower? Learn by heart the combined attack formations you have access to, they will be of great use to you in the future!”
After saying that, Lin Ran turned around and left.
“Yes! Master!”
Li Ba was excited.
The other people around him also cast envious glances.
To be able to become Lin Ran’s follower was definitely far higher than their own future status in cultivation.
After all, Lin Ran’s popularity at Qionghua Mountain was now directly adjacent to Long Ridge Sky.
As for who of the two would end up becoming the absolute hegemon of Qiong Hua Mountain, it would depend on how the two would fight after Lin Ran broke through to the ninth floor of the Ninth Floor Hall.
Leaving Qiong Hua Tower, Lin Ran went straight to the Ninth Floor Hall.
Almost three months had pa*sed since he first arrived at Mount Qionghua.
And for the next very long time he would stay at the Ninth Floor Hall, because Ling Sa could not afford to wait.
……
Ninth Floor Hall, the ninth floor.
Still dimly lit, on a high platform, Lin Ran sat cross-legged, while a dark-shaded figure stood quietly beside him.
“The ninth level is going to test the heart demon, you can start at any time, if there is an accident I will wake you up!”
The black shadowed man said indifferently.
“It starts in an hour!”
Lin Ran said indifferently, while flipping out the copy of the Clear Heart Incantation from his arms, the very one he had found on the ninth floor of Qiong Hua Tower.
“The Bright Heart Incantation? There’s not much this book can do for you!”
The black shadow man laughed at this.
Lin Ran, however, shook his head.
“It can help a little, after all, I’m likely to spend a very long time on the ninth floor!”
“A very long time?”
The black shadow man didn’t understand.
Lin Ran, however, didn’t bother to explain, his attention already focused on the Ming Xin incantation.
Before he began the ninth level of the Heart Demon Test, he needed to learn the Bright Heart Incantation completely.
The so-called Bright Heart Incantation was something similar to a heart sutra, which only needed to be memorised and recited by heart before losing oneself to achieve the effect of stabilising the mind.
The whole incantation was long, but to Lin Ran in an hour, it could already be easily memorised.
