As the sun rose, Lingyun, who was originally asleep, suddenly opened his eyes. He immediately tidied himself up and walked out.

"Who exactly are my biological parents? Where are they right now? Why did they abandon me that year? Can I still see them again?" Walking out of the Ling Family residence, Ling Yun Fan muttered as he looked at the bright and beautiful sun in the sky.

At this moment, he suddenly really wanted to know what his background was like. This question had always troubled his heart, and he had never felt such a strong sensation before. However, ever since that day he had merged with the Silver Phoenix dragon head, he had a very subtle feeling.

"Does this birthmark contain any special meaning?" Immediately after, he looked at the small dragon head with silver body and phoenix birthmark in his hand for a while, and then muttered with curiosity.

Then, he stayed under the sunlight for a full two hours before he slowly came back to his senses.

"Father." When he was about to go out for a walk, he greeted Ling Tianba, who was walking step by step towards him.

"Mm, Fan'er, this is your reward, take it!" Walking up to his son, Ling Tianba responded with a smile as well. After that, he placed the large sack on his back in front of Ling Yunfan.

Seeing this, Ling Yun Fan did not say anything and directly opened the sack that was tightly tied up. He astonishingly discovered that it was filled with silver taels, and within the pile of silver taels, there was a pure white inner armor that emitted a faint luster, as well as an Origin Gathering Pill.

"This is the advanced level weapon, the white scale armor!" Seeing the white inner armor, Lingyun Fan called out in surprise.

Seeing his son's shocked expression, Ling Tianba also said with a smile, "That's right, this is the protective armor that the family has always kept hidden. Father bought it a few years ago at an auction, and it is of no use now, so I wanted to use it as a reward for you."

"Thank you, father. I will make good use of it." Hearing this, Ling Yun Fan's face was filled with gratitude.

Then, after Ling Tianba left, Ling Yunfan asked for a few pointers. He discovered that there were over four hundred thousand silver taels in this huge sack. This was a huge sum, which made him even more excited.

"I think there's no need to go to the armory. This inner armor should have been taken out from inside, and I'm sure father picked it out for me, and that's good, since I have the Cold Water Sword, so I don't need to look at other weapons. When I get the chance to trade for something better, it'll be fine." After collecting everything in the gunny sack, Lingyun mumbled to himself as he walked towards the mansion behind him.

At this moment, he was planning to hurry on his way to participate in the assessment of the Hidden Dragon Sect. Because it was a long journey, it was not wrong to leave early.

Since Lingyun had already made his decision, he naturally wanted to go back and greet those who were on good terms with him before leaving.

"… …"

"So you're saying, Fan'er, that you want to head to the Violet Gold City immediately and wait for the people from the Hidden Dragon Sect to come pick you up?" After Ling Tianba, who was in the residence, finished listening to Ling Yun Fan's thoughts, he asked with some uncertainty.

Yes, two years is only a short amount of time. In addition, if one wants to quickly grow in the cultivation of the path of martial cultivation, it is impossible to not seize the time to cultivate. So, in order to be able to live with the clan after two years, I must grasp every second. Hearing this, Ling Yunfan replied with determination in his eyes.

Seeing the determination in Ling Yunfan's eyes, Ling Tianba nodded his head and replied, "Alright, be careful outside."

"Then I'll be going."

After greeting each other, Ling Yunfan left behind a few words, then turned around and left without hesitation.

However, just as he arrived outside the Ling family mansion, he saw Ling Hong standing in front of him along with a white horse.

"You're really in a hurry, not even bothering to say hello to this cousin of mine before you want to leave." Looking at Ling Yun Fan in front of her, Ling Hong said in a blaming tone.

"I'm sorry, Sister Ling Hong!" Seeing this, Ling Yunfan also apologised somewhat embarrassedly.

"Puchi …" Alright, I was joking with you. Didn't you say you were going to travel? "Let's hurry up and set off!" Seeing Ling Yunfan's appearance, Ling Hong's bright red mouth could not help but let out a little laughter. Then, she slowly spoke and placed the horse she was leading into Ling Yun's hands.

Taking the horse's fawning rope, Lingyun Fan immediately mounted his horse. After nodding at Ling Hong, he rode his horse and galloped away.

Looking at Ling Yun Fan's back, Ling Hong turned and left as well.

… …

As the traveling time passed by bit by bit, three days passed in the blink of an eye. In the darkness of the night, both Ling Yunfan and his horse had fallen to the ground, exhausted and gasping for breath.

Noticing that the horses had no way to continue on their way, Lingyun chose to stop and rest for the night.

Hualala … Hualala …

Soon after, a fire was set up to keep them warm.

Gulp … Gulp …

Not long after, a strange sound came from Lingyun Fan's stomach, causing him to blush. After all, this was the sound of his stomach growling in protest, but the exhausted horses nearby did not do such a thing. With just him alone, it must have been awkward, and luckily no one would have made fun of him otherwise.

"Hey, there's nothing we can do if we're hungry. We can only go to the surrounding and see if we can find anything to eat. Hopefully, we can meet one or two rank 1 beasts, as long as they are not at least rank 1 beasts." He rubbed his stomach and mumbled to himself before walking to the grassland behind them.

The current Lingyun Fan might be able to run rampant among the younger generation in the Ling family and even in Yan Qingcheng, but once he was outside, he couldn't be like this anymore, because whether it was people with higher cultivation or Level 2 demon beasts, there were too many in the outside world. Any one of them could just jump out and put him to death.

However, they could only run away when facing a demon beast. This was good luck. If their luck was bad, they wouldn't be able to survive.

Hiss … Hiss …

"Why is it you again? What sort of relationship do I have with the Blood-Thirsty Violet Tattooed Serpent Clan? I've even run into four or five of them at once." Seeing the purple striped snake staring at its prey, Ling Yunfan mumbled to himself with a helpless expression.

Puchi … Puchi …

Just as Ling Yun's words landed, under the full moon, the sound of several sharp weapons slicing through flesh came out from the plains.

Not long after, Lingyun retrieved four Bloodthirsty Purple Tattooed Snake corpses from the ground and walked towards the resting area.

After returning to the bonfire, he naturally placed it within the fire and began to roast it.

Countless men and horses were quickly eating the roasted snake meat in front of the bonfire.
