Chapter 570: If it's always this friendly, we really are just here for sightseeing.

Now.

This group of them.

One-Eyed Man wanted to acquire treasures.

Yongxin also wanted to acquire treasures.

Lin Daoming and Liu Haichan, needless to say, also wanted treasures. Why else would they come here?

The most unfortunate one was the younger sister from the nameless medical family. Without a voice, she also yearned for treasures, hoping to lead the medical family to soar to new heights, thoroughly dominating the world.

As for Brother Tiger and Brother Eagle, they were merely followers.

Brother Eagle didn't dare to leave for the time being, fearing that if he did, he'd be beaten beyond recognition, dismembered, and eaten. The thought alone was terrifying.

As for Brother Tiger, he had completely taken off.

His bloodline had awakened, his strength had rapidly increased, and he had long since surpassed Brother Eagle by a significant margin. Sometimes, Brother Eagle thought it was unfair. Why could Brother Tiger succeed, but not him?

Was it because he was ugly, or what?

The more he thought about it, the more unconvinced he became.

A terrible headache ensued.

Lin Daoming approached One-Eyed Man and said, "I think we should go to Tianchi (Heaven Lake). Since the other party can transform into a dragon, there must be treasures. Going there shouldn't hurt."

One-Eyed Man agreed, finding the reasoning sound. He then approached Lin Fan and said, "Let's go to Tianchi."

"Go to Tianchi?"

"Yes, the scenery there is beautiful, and the water is very clean."

"Okay, let's go to Tianchi."

Lin Fan nodded. Since the scenery was supposedly so beautiful, it was worth a look.

One-Eyed Man felt very clever. If he had used his previous methods, they definitely wouldn't have been as effective as they were now. He had to go along with Lin Fan's thinking to ensure everything went smoothly.

See, wasn't it going well now? Telling him the benefits of going there basically guaranteed a positive response.

He really wanted to see what the creature in Tianchi had transformed into.

Tianchi!

The ascetic monk, Fangu, stood respectfully by the lake, reverently holding a pagoda in his hands. Suddenly, the water from Tianchi surged upwards, engulfing the pagoda and pulling it down to the bottom of the lake.

"Master, I had originally trapped the Starry Sky Clan within the pagoda, but with Lin Fan's arrival, I had no choice but to release them." Fangu reported the situation.

It wasn't that he wanted to release them.

He had told Lin Fan that he didn't have the ability to release anyone from the pagoda, but Lin Fan didn't need him to do anything. He simply removed the top of the pagoda with his bare hands. The supposedly invincible pagoda had been broken open just like that.

Honestly.

Fangu was dumbfounded.

The calm surface of Tianchi rippled as Fangu spoke. Suddenly, a dragon's roar broke through the water's surface, and a giant dragon soared into the sky.

It perfectly matched the image of a dragon from ancient myths.

The Jiao dragon, which had been repeatedly humiliated, swallowed the treasure within Tianchi and transformed into a true dragon. Possessing the power of a dragon, it was now worthy of being the first divine beast of Changbai Mountain.

"What happened?" The dragon's voice reverberated, demanding to know what had transpired.

Fangu didn't dare to hide anything, recounting everything he had experienced.

After hearing the entire story.

The dragon hovered silently in the sky above Tianchi, lost in deep thought. The image of Lin Fan appeared in his mind.

A bit timid, a bit afraid.

The dragon still bore the psychological scars from being dominated by Lin Fan.

But soon... the dragon snapped back to reality. Now, he had transformed into a true dragon, infinitely noble, one of the most perfect creatures in the world. How could the humiliation he had suffered suppress his proud heart?

Ignoring everything.

The dragon plunged back into Tianchi, as if saying...

Come and get me if you dare.

Fangu didn't understand his master's intentions and could only obediently guard the edge of Tianchi, sitting cross-legged, practicing ancient yoga postures. The postures were bizarre, yet they allowed him to draw the spiritual energy of Tianchi into his body.

This place was no longer what it once was. Having received a great fortune, it could now cleanse the physical body, perfecting it.

After an unknown amount of time.

There was movement.

Fangu opened his eyes and saw the group, his expression grave.

They had arrived.

A group of people followed them. Upon closer inspection, he recognized them as members of the Starry Sky Clan. They had all been taught a lesson within the pagoda, but unexpectedly, they weren't afraid and were now following behind Lin Fan and the others.

Did they just want to reap the benefits?

Fangu looked worriedly at Tianchi. Master, that terrifying person has arrived, what should we do?

"Wow! So beautiful." Lin Fan gazed at the scenery before him. Surrounded by mountains dotted with glistening white snow, it was truly beautiful.

Lao Zhang and Xiaobao both loved the environment.

They spread their arms wide in embrace.

As if they wanted to hold all the beauty of this place in their arms.

"Hey! We just met!" Lin Fan waved towards the ascetic monk, greeting him with a smile.

The ascetic monk, Fangu, knew that Lin Fan wasn't the type to throw his weight around just because he was powerful.

But he was still nervous when he saw him.

His hands and feet were trembling.

Nevertheless.

Fangu nodded towards Lin Fan, forcing a smile in response to Lin Fan's friendliness, lest his coldness be mistaken for arrogance and provoke him.

"Lin Fan, come quickly! The water here is so blue and clean."

Xiaobao happily pulled Lin Fan's hand and ran to the edge of Tianchi. Their faces were reflected in the clear, clean water.

They played joyfully.

One-Eyed Man, however, was observing the surroundings. He caught sight of the Starry Sky Clan members out of the corner of his eye.

They had followed them, as expected.

He knew these guys wanted to take advantage of them.

With their methods, they could indeed cause trouble for Changbai Mountain, but if they encountered real danger, they would definitely lose their lives. After what had just happened, the Starry Sky Clan's only thought was to follow Lin Fan.

Perhaps they could gain something valuable.

At this moment.

The dragon lurked at the bottom of the lake, sensing the situation on the surface. Many people had come. If he appeared in his true form now, he could definitely intimidate everyone. However, what made him somewhat afraid was... the person standing on the lake's surface.

Although he was unconvinced in his heart, he was truly afraid.

He waited patiently.

Observing the situation first.

"Eighth Prince, why are you all following us?" One-Eyed Man took the initiative to talk to the Starry Sky Clan members. He was truly insidious. He had figured it out. Even if he didn't bring them along, they would follow on their own.

The Eighth Prince said, "We're just passing by."

One-Eyed Man chuckled. Believing their lies would be foolish.

But since things had already come to this, stopping them was impossible.

If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move.

He absolutely wouldn't let them take advantage of the situation.

If Lin Fan and the others weren't here, this group from the Starry Sky Clan would definitely launch a fierce attack on Tianchi, forcing the dragon out from the bottom of the lake. But now, they could only wait.

Some members of the Starry Sky Clan sent messages to their elders.

Informing them of the situation here.

If this continued, who knew how long it would drag on.

"Lin Fan, it's beautiful here, isn't it?" Xiaobao said.

Lin Fan replied, "Yes, it's truly beautiful. Do you like it?"

"Of course! I didn't get to look closely last time I was here."

"If you like it, I can bring you here often in the future."

Lao Zhang, who had been silent, spoke up, "Me too."

"Okay, no problem." Lin Fan agreed to their requests, thinking that he definitely had to bring his wife here to see it as well.

Gurgle!

Just then.

The calm surface of Tianchi rippled.

Fangu was startled.

Was his master appearing now to fight? Although he knew his master was powerful, the opponent was even more terrifying. He hoped his master wouldn't be too impulsive.

Immediately afterwards.

A dragon's roar resonated through the heavens and earth.

The people of the Starry Sky Clan weren't particularly surprised by the dragon's appearance.

On the other hand, Master Yongxin and the others were astonished.

This was a creature that only appeared in ancient myths.

To be able to see it with their own eyes felt quite incredible.

Boom!

The water exploded.

A long dragon soared into the sky, exactly like the ones in ancient myths, domineering and majestic, arguably the most perfect creature in the world. Dragon's might spread, and all the creatures on Changbai Mountain seemed to feel a terrifying pressure bearing down on their souls.

Brother Tiger remained calm and composed, while Brother Eagle felt something was amiss, clearly suppressed.

Seeing this scene, the evil rooster even considered feigning injury.

If he continued his act,

The world's first fraudulently claiming injury chicken would truly appear.

"Wow..."

Xiaobao's mouth hung open, and little sparks of light flickered in his dark, round eyes, the expression of someone seeing a creature from their fantasies.

Lao Zhang exclaimed, "Big worm..."

Lin Fan said, "That's a dragon."

If Lin Fan hadn't been present, Lao Zhang would have been swallowed the moment he uttered those words.

One-Eyed Man's expression was grave.

He didn't know what the dragon was going to do. After transforming into a true dragon, it was incredibly powerful. That aura couldn't be faked. One-Eyed Man pondered, was the gap between humans and mystical beasts truly so vast?

The Starry Sky Clan members looked at each other upon seeing the dragon.

A dragon...

A creature that existed in the universe, but indeed quite rare. They were interested in the blood within its body, the scales on its skin, and its tendons.

They didn't act.

Instead, they waited.

"Long time no see." The dragon looked at Lin Fan and slowly spoke.

There wasn't the imagined scene of proactive provocation followed by the eruption of battle.

Lin Fan asked in confusion, "Have we met before?"

He had truly forgotten.

He had dreamt so many times, for so long, that unimportant people had been forgotten.

The dragon before him was one of them.

Not to mention, when they had met before, it was only a Jiao, not yet a dragon.

Hearing these words.

The dragon wasn't angry. Even if he were, it wouldn't be of any use. He would probably just be beaten up again. He had thought about it for a long time. Perhaps after transforming into a dragon, he was indeed very strong, but he still wasn't confident he could defeat Lin Fan.

Playing it safe wouldn't hurt.

There wasn't any great animosity between them, right?

"We have, we've met before. Perhaps you've forgotten." The dragon said.

Lin Fan smiled, "It seems I really have forgotten. My memory isn't very good these days. I easily forget many things."

One-Eyed Man frowned. Something wasn't right.

This dragon was very domineering, yet it was chatting amicably with Lin Fan, as if they hadn't seen each other in a long time and were now reminiscing.

"Boss, something's not right." Lin Daoming whispered.

One-Eyed Man replied, "I know."

Of course, he knew.

If it continued like this, they really were just here for sightseeing, not to search for treasures.
