Chapter 634: Chapter 634: Organizational Request_1 Chapter 634: Chapter 634: Organizational Request_1 Li Fuqiang suddenly thought of Xu Fan’s moniker and couldn’t help but laugh, “No wonder you call yourself Xu Wufang.”
Xu Fan’s lips curved into a smile, but he said nothing.
Humph…
if you guys can guess it, then you’re impressive.
At this moment, Long Guhuang said in a clear voice, “Protector Xu, though you’ve recently joined Flame Dragon, you have accomplished much.
You’ve contributed six Superior Martial Skills and have killed many high-level members of the Black Blade Organization, as well as slaying the Sword Saint in the Island Country.
Each of these contributions is significant, and we have all witnessed Protector Xu’s strength just now.”
“I would like to propose that Protector Xu become the fifth elder of our Flame Dragon.
I assume there are no objections?”
“None.”
“Agreed.”
“Seconded.”
Upon hearing this, everyone responded warmly, with no dissenting voices.
“Elder Xu, what do you think?” Long Guhuang asked smilingly.
“Uh…” Xu Fan touched his nose but shook his head to decline, “I feel I’m not suited for this.
First, I don’t have that much time, and second, I don’t want to be restricted.”
The crowd didn’t expect Xu Fan to refuse Long Guhuang’s proposal, which was a great opportunity that promised a significant increase in power, status, and identity.
They were momentarily stunned.
Long Guhuang was also caught off guard, but maintained his composure and after some thought added, “Your point is valid, and I respect your choice.
Well, how about we appoint you as a patron?
It’s a nominal post, yet you’ll enjoy the benefits and corresponding rights of an elder.
The Flame Dragon won’t usually contact you, but we would ask for your aid during moments of crisis for the organization.
What do you say?”
“In fact, many prominent figures from the Ancient Martial World, such as Sect Heads and Family Patriarchs, hold the position of patron within Flame Dragon.
The organization generally does not disturb them for years, or even decades.”
Xu Fan couldn’t help but ponder; this patron status was hands-off yet quite useful, which seemed rather good.
Moreover, his perception of Long Guhuang had always been favorable up to this point.
“Alright,” Xu Fan nodded in agreement.
“Haha…
From now on, brother Xu Fan will become another patron of Flame Dragon,” Long Guhuang announced with a hearty laugh, unable to resist patting Xu Fan on the shoulder in a brotherly manner.
Xu Fan responded with a smile.
Seeing this, Qin Qinglong couldn’t help feeling disheartened, for the gap between him and Xu Fan was growing wider and wider.
“Patron Xu, have you heard about something related to an Ancient Power that’s been going on recently?” Long Guhuang asked, as if recalling something.
“What is it?”
“Six days ago, a glow appeared within the territory of Iceberg City, accompanied by strong energy fluctuations.
Many Ancient Martial Artists went to investigate and confirmed the existence of a ruin left by an Ancient Power.
If nothing goes wrong, it is set to be opened in three days.”
Long Guhuang spoke steadily, “Upon hearing this news, entities from all corners of the Ancient Martial World are in motion, sending their most distinguished younger members to explore the ruins together.”
Xu Fan, however, sighed and spread his hands wide, “Sorry, I’m not interested.”
Even if the ruins were left by an Ancient Power, in Xu Fan’s eyes, they probably only contained the capacity of the Divinity Transformation Stage, not even reaching the level of Void Refinement.
With Xu Fan’s own foundation, he naturally didn’t take it seriously and, of course, had no interest in competing for the inheritance and treasures inside.
In his previous life, he estimated that even offering to tie this Ancient Power’s shoelaces would have been beyond their qualifications.
“…?”
Long Guhuang was taken aback, as Xu Fan’s reaction was far beyond his expectations.
“Patron Xu, I’m really surprised.
Do you truly have no interest at all?” Long Guhuang asked persistently.
“Yes,” Xu Fan said, not elaborating any further.
“I see.
The status of the Immortal Emperor Wufang is very high, and in ancient times, he was a towering figure.
Having received his legacy, you look down on other ruins,” Long Guhuang said, unable to hide a smile, but still he said a few more words, hoping to get Xu Fan to understand more before making a decision.
“This time, the Northern Border Ruins are actually quite good.
It is said to be the cave dwelling of a being known as the Northern Territory Sovereign, filled with his lifetime collection of superior martial skills, natural treasures, elixirs and spiritual instruments.
The most valuable among them is the legacy of the Northern Territory Sovereign.
It can directly enhance the cultivator’s level and make entering the Dongxu Realm almost a certainty for the receiver.”
“Therefore, I hope Patron Xu can make the trip.
If the legacy could be gifted to the Flame Dragon, then the Flame Dragon would gain another strong warrior in the Dongxu Realm, greatly enhancing our sect’s strength.
Alas, Patron Xu, you do not seem to have such plans, sigh!”
“The Northern Territory Sovereign?” A ripple of emotion stirred in Xu Fan’s heart, and he thought to himself, “This name feels so familiar to me, as if there is a significant connection between him and me, but what exactly it is, I simply cannot remember.
Hold on, why am I so affected by this name?”
He hurriedly stopped his wild thoughts and said quietly, “Since the sect leader has said so much, I will make the trip.”
“Hahaha…
If Patron Xu makes a move, success is assured,” Long Guhuang immediately laughed joyfully.
Xu Fan didn’t pay attention to his intentions.
In his view, the legacy of the Northern Territory Sovereign was optional; what he valued was what sort of natural treasures the other party might have left behind.
The extreme scarcity of Spiritual Energy on Sea Blue Star meant that such items no longer had an environment to grow in, leading to great difficulty in even gathering the materials for a common Blood Qilin Pill.
He hoped that the Northern Territory Sovereign wasn’t destitute and could provide him with some useful spiritual materials.
Long Guhuang continued, “Patron Xu, I’ll just say it straight, and I hope you won’t mind.
Before you leave, I will choose an appropriate person to enter the ruins with you.
If we can obtain the legacy of the great being, it will be reserved for this person.
Thank you for your efforts!”
“I understand,” Xu Fan nodded and then asked, “Wouldn’t it be more reliable if the Dragon Group leader went personally?”
“Patron Xu truly hasn’t set foot in the Ancient Martial World before.
This is actually a rule within the Ancient Martial World: once you’re over the age of 35, you’re not allowed to participate in the competition for ruins.
The reason is to preserve the strength of the Ancient Martial World; to avoid fights over treasures and also to give the younger generation a chance to experience.
So, when the ruins open, I will send someone to guard the entrance, not allowing those who don’t meet the requirements to enter.”
Long Guhuang chuckled, “I’m well past that age, so even if I wanted to, it’s impossible.
Looking at the inner members of the Flame Dragon who meet the age criteria, you are the strongest.
So, we hope Patron Xu can do this favor for the organization.”
Although Long Guhuang appeared to be in his thirties, his real age was already beyond the state of knowing fate.
“I see,” Xu Fan finally understood.
What do you think?
