Chapter 158 Dragon and Phoenix present auspiciousness
In the next two fights, Lin Changqiang defeated his opponents with just one move each time, and then walked towards the exit as if he was strolling in the garden, completely unaware that he had caused an uproar.

Not long after, one of the five exits on the north side of the palace suddenly opened. Under the complicated gazes of the leaders of many forces, Lin Changqiang walked out calmly, crossed dozens of meters in three or two steps, and walked in front of Lin Fan.

"Patriarch, I have accomplished my mission."

"It is indeed a bit bullying for you to participate in the seed selection with your strength." Feeling the gazes around him, Lin Fan originally wanted to pretend to be indifferent, but unfortunately, the grinning corners of his mouth betrayed him.

Compared with the total defeat twenty years ago, this time, he could finally hold his head high.

"Congratulations, Patriarch Lin. The Lin clan has such a genius. It is very likely that they will gain something in the Hundred Dynasties War."

Mo Jingtian smiled and looked at Lin Fan, but he was surprised. His strength had already reached the first level of Nirvana. He had just stared at Lin Changqiang for a long time, but he didn't feel any fluctuations from the latter...

From this, it seems that the opponent's strength is probably stronger than his, and he is definitely not just a simple One-Seal Heavenly Talisman Master!
"My dear friend Chang Qiang, this is a magical jade pendant. It is my gift to you. I wonder if you can take care of my useless child in the ancient battlefield in the future."

Hearing the subtle change in Mo Jingtian's self-introduction, the leaders of the surrounding forces couldn't help but widen their eyes, while Lin Changqiang's gaze was focused on the beautiful jade pendant.

【Name: Dragon and Phoenix】

[Grade: Earth-level spiritual treasure]

[Effect 1: When worn, basic favorability of the friendly camp +4, basic favorability of the neutral camp +2, basic favorability of the hostile camp -2]

[Effect 2: Can slightly improve the wearer's luck]

[Effect 3: It can transform energy into heat and mental energy into cold, thus keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer]

...Could it be that Mo Jingtian only knows the third effect?
With this thought in mind, Lin Changqiang hesitated whether to agree or not, but Mo Jingtian seemed to have misunderstood something and directly stuffed the jade pendant into his hand.

"Don't get me wrong, this jade pendant is just a gift. Whether you agree or not, I will not take it back. The real reward is that from now on, you can freely browse the royal library of my Great Yan Dynasty!"

"...In that case, thank you very much, Your Majesty." Looking at Mo Jingtian with a serious face, Lin Changqiang almost couldn't hold back his smile. He managed to suppress his laughter with great difficulty. After all, to him, the attraction of this library was far less than that of the jade pendant.

[Congratulations to the host for triggering the side quest: Protect Mo Ling]

[In the following Hundred Dynasties War, the host needs to protect Mo Ling from being killed until Mo Ling leaves the ancient battlefield]

[If the mission succeeds, you will be rewarded with 6 draws, Mo Ling's favorability ×20, Mo Jingtian's favorability ×20; if the mission fails, Mo Jingtian's favorability will drop by 30] Seeing that Lin Changqiang agreed to his request, Mo Jingtian was delighted. One's own family knows one's own business. His daughter Mo Ling's talent is indeed second to none in the Great Yan Dynasty, but compared with the geniuses of the higher dynasties, she is mediocre. Coupled with her breathtaking beauty, he is really worried.

Even though Mo Ling usually dresses like a man, no one can guarantee that there won't be a strong female cultivator who will be attracted by his beauty. Besides... there is no shortage of people who are interested in having affairs with men in the Profound Tian Continent!

Seeing Lin Changqiang and Mo Jingtian chatting and laughing, the faces of the leaders of the surrounding forces were also full of emotion. Then, they came forward one after another and congratulated Lin Fan, making the latter laugh continuously.

Not long after, the other four gates also slowly opened, and Lin Dong, Mo Ling, Man Shan of the Barbarian King Sect, and Du Yun of the Tianluo Sect all walked out one after another, causing some to be happy and some to be sad.

At this point, the seed selection competition has finally come to an end, and the five candidates who will participate in the Hundred Dynasties War have finally been determined.

"Everyone, this year's seed selection has ended. The winners are Lin Changqiang, Lin Dong, Du Yun, Man Shan, and Mo Ling."

"Tomorrow, we will work together to open the Holy Spirit Pond so that you can absorb the energy in the pond. This is the last bit of help we can give you."

The Seed Battle, as the highest-level competition in the Great Yan Dynasty, finally had a result. The most enviable one among them was naturally the Lin clan. It had been a long time since a single force occupied two places. And the terrifying level of Lin Changqiang's cultivation spread throughout the entire imperial city in no time!
Lin Changqiang naturally didn't care about this. He took a look around the royal library and found that there was indeed no martial arts that could compare to the Great Wilderness Prison Heaven Finger. So he went back to the Lin clan's residence in the imperial city with Lin Dong.

When the two returned to the courtyard, Xiao Yan, who was lying in the yard basking in the sun, suddenly climbed up and then excitedly threw himself into Lin Changqiang's arms.

Seeing the guy petting the cat and smiling, Lin Dong suddenly felt jealous. It was him who fed Xiao Yan every day, but for some reason, this guy liked Lin Changqiang more!

"When you go to the Holy Spirit Pond tomorrow, you can bring this stupid tiger with you. If it is true as those guys said, that the Holy Spirit Pond is condensed from the blood essence of ancient mythical beasts, then it will be of great benefit to this stupid tiger and lay a good foundation for him to impact the Nirvana realm."

After being stuck in the stone talisman for a whole day and almost suffocating, the little mink finally crawled out of the stone talisman and stretched comfortably.

“Lin Dong, when you go to the Holy Spirit Pond tomorrow, just tell the clan leader and the others to give all my energy to Xiao Yan. I’m already in the Nirvana Realm anyway, and increasing my chances of success in entering the Nirvana Realm is useless to me. It’s better for me to stay in Dan River to practice.”

Lin Changqiang touched Xiao Yan's head without even turning his head. There were still more than ten days before the Hundred Dynasties War, and he wanted to try whether he could break through to the One Yuan Nirvana. Also... he had saved up more than ten draws, and it was time to make a big draw!

“Yeah, it should be fine.” Lin Dong nodded. Seeing Xiao Yan acting cute all the time, he suddenly remembered something else. “It is said that after a demon beast enters the Nirvana realm, it can transform into a human form. I wonder what Xiao Yan’s human form will look like.”

Hearing this, Lin Changqiang's right hand, which was petting the cat, suddenly froze. Thinking back to the black burly man who was like an iron tower, he felt sick all over. He immediately rubbed Xiao Yan's ears vigorously, wanting to touch him for a while longer before Xiao Yan transformed.

"Let's wait until this stupid tiger can survive the Nirvana calamity. By then, he will be able to transform into a human form naturally after cleansing his marrow and thinning his bones from the inside out. But what's the good of becoming a human form? It's not convenient at all. It's still more comfortable to be in animal form." The little mink curled his lips, as if thinking of some bad memories.
