"Have there been any new Spirit Pills, Cultivation Methods, or Spiritual Artifacts added to the Holy Land recently?" Lin Fan asked.

As a cultivation sect, especially one daring to call itself a Holy Land, Lin Fan was certain that the Purple Mansion Holy Land must be extraordinary.

At the same time, the Purple Mansion Holy Land would definitely have places like an 'Artifact Refining Pavilion', a 'Medicine Refining Pavilion', and a 'Scripture Pavilion'.

However, because he didn't know the specific names of these three places in the Purple Mansion Holy Land, Lin Fan could only inquire indirectly, beating around the bush.

"This…"

Zhou Yining thought for a moment, "There hasn't been much activity at the Artifact Refining Pavilion. The Pill Sect has released some new pills, but they are said to be for healing and combat, so they probably won't be of much help to your breakthrough, Saintess."

"As for Cultivation Methods…"

"Seventh Elder recently returned and is said to have brought back some interesting Cultivation Methods, which have been placed in the Scripture Pavilion."

Perfect!

Lin Fan was certain, "Then let's go to the Scripture Pavilion."

"Yes, Saintess."

The two women, one on the left and one on the right, guarded Lin Fan's sides as they headed towards the Scripture Pavilion.

As Protector Disciples, they mostly played a 'errand-running' role within the sect.

After all, if the Saintess herself was in danger within the Holy Land, then the Holy Land was basically on the verge of being destroyed.

However, even so, formalities had to be observed.

For example, at this moment, they were walking a few steps ahead and to the sides of Qi Zixiao, their eyes constantly watching the surroundings, on alert.

This made Lin Fan breathe a sigh of relief. If he had to walk in the front, he really wouldn't know how to get to the Scripture Pavilion.

And then…

Lin Fan: "…"

After leaving the Saintess Pavilion, after only a hundred steps, they reached the edge of a cliff!

Looking out, countless high mountains stood tall, ancient trees reached the sky, auspicious clouds floated, and various unseen spiritual beasts either ran or flew…

Many cultivators flew by on their swords in the distance, and even flying ships soared through the nine heavens.

And above the many mountain peaks, there were palaces, large and small, but all extraordinary.

At the end of the line of sight, there was even a celestial palace floating in the nine heavens, looming in the colorful clouds…

Although he didn't know how to use the True Essence in his body, Qi Zixiao's body was, after all, a Spirit Transformation Realm great cultivator, so her eyesight was naturally far superior to ordinary people.

Therefore, Lin Fan saw at a glance that on the plaque of the floating celestial palace, the three characters 'Purple Mansion Palace' were written in a flamboyant style.

A scene of immortals!

This scene made Lin Fan exclaim in amazement!

Too big!

This one glance was definitely not the full picture of the Purple Mansion Holy Land, but even so, the vastness of the area made it difficult for Lin Fan to calm down.

But…

There was a more important issue at hand.

I actually forgot!

His heart jumped.

How big was a Holy Land? Probably tens of thousands of miles…

Although he was the Saintess, it was impossible that he would just happen to live next to the Scripture Pavilion, right?

Was he just going to walk there step by step like a mortal? How long would that take?

Therefore, going to the Scripture Pavilion naturally required flying.

But the problem was, he didn't know how to fly!

Heart filled with anxiety...

But on the surface, Lin Fan's expression didn't change in the slightest. His eyes were dull, as if his mind had long wandered beyond the heavens.

What am I gonna do?!

Fortunately, as a Protector Disciple, Chen Cheng was very self-aware and perceptive.

She quickly took out a palm-sized boat from her Storage Treasure, but soon, the small boat swelled up against the wind, becoming a small skiff.

Although not large, it was definitely enough to accommodate ten or eight people.

"Saintess, this way please."

"Mm..."

The 'crisis' was averted, but Lin Fan's heart still couldn't calm down. The moment he stepped onto the flying boat, he thought a lot.

For example...

Is the flying boat's 'starting' speed fast?

Is the g-force of this thing strong?

No, there's no backrest here, even if there was, it wouldn't be called g-force, it's called inertia...

So, won't I just fall over after the flying boat starts? That would be too embarrassing...

Fortunately, the facts proved that Lin Fan's worries were unnecessary.

Under Chen Cheng's control, the flying boat took off smoothly and quickly, but without any sudden inertia.

Even flying in the sky, shoulder to shoulder with the white clouds, he couldn't feel the cold wind.

Looking closely, it wasn't hard to find a nearly transparent 'barrier' or something, blocking the wind and rain.

Buzz...

The flying boat wasn't big and looked very ordinary, but wherever it passed, other flying boats, flying Spiritual Beasts, and cultivators flying on swords all gave way, clearing the path ahead.

A mountain is not about its height, but the presence of an immortal makes it divine.

Water is not about its depth, but the presence of a dragon makes it magical.

A flying boat is not about its luxury, but the presence of the Saintess makes it possible to do whatever you want...

Other cultivators on flying boats and flying swords, seeing it from afar, would clasp their fists or even bow in salute.

Lin Fan didn't need to respond at all, just maintain his aloof and indifferent expression as he flew by...

At the same time, he realized that he didn't seem to have a fear of heights.

After all, we're flying several thousand meters in the air, and I can still be so calm, even in the mood to admire the scenery below, I shouldn't be afraid of heights, right?

"But speaking of which, shouldn't cultivators not be afraid of heights? Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to fly..."

What would happen if a cultivator was afraid of heights?

The image is too beautiful, I dare not look!

After about ten minutes, the flying boat's altitude gradually decreased, eventually landing at the foot of a solitary peak.

Looking around, this solitary peak was about a thousand meters high, with ancient pavilions on it, which was the Scripture Pavilion.

From the foot of the mountain to the Scripture Pavilion, there was only one small path, and at this moment, many people were coming and going, entering and exiting.

As soon as Lin Fan's flying boat landed, the nearby disciples looked over curiously, and upon seeing it, they were all stunned.

"Saintess?"

"Isn't she in closed-door cultivation to break through?"

"Could it be that she has already broken through to the Void Refining Realm?"

"But, observing her aura, it seems to be the same as before, not like she has broken through..."

Many disciples, both men and women, were handsome and beautiful, with high looks, and under the setting off of their Daoist robes, they looked quite 'immortal'.

But at this moment, they were very surprised in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it, and they all saluted 'Qi Zixiao'.

"Greetings, Saintess..."

"Mhm..."

Lin Fan's expression remained unchanged, still aloof. He merely hummed in acknowledgment before striding forward, crossing the platform, stepping onto the path, and heading towards the Scripture Pavilion at the mountain's peak.

Wherever he passed, numerous disciples stepped aside, not daring to block his way.

These scenes eased Lin Fan's mind somewhat.

It seems my guess was correct. This Saintess Qi Zixiao holds an extremely high position within the sect. In this way, the possibility of exposure will be much lower. This is good...

The path was rugged and difficult to traverse, but that was only for ordinary people.

Qi Zixiao's body had already been tempered countless times by True Essence; this mere path was naturally nothing to her.

Sorry for the intrusion, and as always, please vote for recommendations.
