Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Officially Joining_1
Xu Fan’s tranquil heart, like a small stone tossed into still water, rippled briefly but soon returned to its usual calm.
His spirit was exceptionally strong and unyielding; the red robe couldn’t affect his mood in the slightest, it merely aroused his alertness.
Xu Fan quickly put the matter out of his mind and asked with genuine interest, “Brother Qian, do you know what lies above the Martial King?”
Qian Zongsheng exhaled deeply, his voice filled with longing, “It’s the Heavenly Venerable.”
He explained, “The Martial King can already stand on thin air, and above the King is the Heavenly Venerable. He can harness the power of heaven and earth for his own use, with a force so tremendous and vast that it can divert rivers, break mountains, and destroy landscapes.”
Heavenly Venerable!
Xu Fan felt rather awkward.
The title was far too arrogant.
Merely channeling a bit of the energy of heaven and earth, they presumed to have mastered the cosmos, considering themselves lords of all creation.
Heh, truly, the frog in the well knows nothing of the sea, and the summer insect can’t conceive of ice.
After all, in the Cultivation World only those in the Body Integration Realm are worthy of being called Heavenly Venerable, because after integrating, they must face the Tribulation Transcendence.
Xu Fan’s brow furrowed slightly as he suppressed the strong urge to retort: Despite both being called Heavenly Venerable, why is there such a vast difference between them?
“Impressive, now I’m well aware,” said Xu Fan with a light smile that could have been either praise or sarcasm.
Qian Zongsheng was initially puzzled, thinking how Xu Fan, despite being so young and already at the Grandmaster Realm, didn’t know these common facts.
But then Xu Fan said something that shocked Qian Zongsheng into hastily standing up.
Lin Fan picked up his coffee and sipped it with relish, casually saying, “The Moro Cult’s Executor Hailong is now in Zhonghai.”
“Hailong?”
Qian Zongsheng and Gao Ziling stood up upon hearing this, their expressions filled with eager excitement, with Qian Zongsheng asking urgently, “Brother Xu Fan, do you know where Hailong is?”
Immediately, Qian Zongsheng was clear in his heart: Xu Fan had killed someone from the Moro Cult.
But there was no need to explicitly say such a thing, to avoid unnecessary trouble.
So, he casually brought up another topic, “Younger brother Xu, earlier I invited you to join the Flame Dragon Organization as a Protector, how have you considered it? If there are any concerns, feel free to express them openly. We can amend what’s wrong and encourage what’s right.”
After finishing his words, Qian Zongsheng quietly looked at Xu Fan, saw that Xu Fan remained composed, and had to persuade him again, “Younger brother Xu, you might still have some misunderstandings. In fact, after joining, you don’t need to clock in and out like an office worker, and even your lifestyle won’t change much. The only requirement is to complete a certain number of missions each year, and these missions are not for nothing, they yield merits. And merits can be exchanged for treasures in the Flame Dragon’s treasury. Why not enjoy such benefits?”
“Many powerful forces in the Ancient Martial World are trying to get connections to send their disciples and clan members into the Flame Dragon. Besides training, their primary purpose is for the treasures in the Flame Dragon’s treasury. Also, having the identity of a Flame Dragon can save you from a lot of trouble.”
Qian Zongsheng, like a seasoned persuader, spared no effort in convincing Xu Fan.
Xu Fan sighed.
Ah~
He actually felt a bit tempted.
First of all, he personally wasn’t very interested in the Flame Dragon’s treasury.
But he had now created Yifan Security Company, and the company’s team members needed cultivation resources. If he relied solely on his own sporadic efforts, gathering cultivation resources would be difficult to sustain.
However, with the support of the Flame Dragon’s treasury, this problem would no longer be a concern.
After thinking it over, Xu Fan smiled faintly and nodded his agreement.
At that, Qian Zongsheng’s eyes lit up with joy. He took out a black military satellite phone, powered it on, fiddled with the settings, then took a photo of Xu Fan for identification and saved it, followed by entering simple personal information about Xu Fan to complete the registration.
“Younger brother Xu, this is for internal use within the organization. With this, no one in the world can intercept and listen to your calls by cutting off the signal. I’ve entered my invitation code into the system’s internal software and activated it for you, and also completed your registration; everything else is all set. Once approved by headquarters, you will be an official member of the Flame Dragon Organization, with access to the internal systems of the Flame Dragon. For now, you’re only regarded as a recognized visitor and can only browse some basic information.”
As he spoke, Qian Zongsheng handed the phone over.
“Thanks,” Xu Fan said, without any formality, reaching out his hand to receive it.
This special Flame Dragon internal phone was designed to be high-end, made of extraordinary materials. It felt full of quality and somewhat heavy in hand, clearly leaning towards practicality.
The performance must be very OP.
