With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

After accepting the two of them as disciples, Mu Bao Bao didn't hesitate at all to take them away for training.

Or that would have been the case if it wasn't for the fact that there were ministers that stopped her.

They had allowed her to come to this ceremony as a break since she had insisted on coming, but that didn't mean that they were planning on letting her take even more of a break than this.

After all, there were things that they needed her to do.

There were things that only she could do, which was why they needed to bring her back.

So in the end, Mu Bao Bao was taken away with her two disciples.

She would train them while dealing with her paperwork.

As they were leaving, I heard a few things about what she was planning to teach them.

"You're similar to me, you can use your energy as swords. So I'll teach you to harness the power of your physique into sword energy which will make your attacks even stronger." That was her teachings for He Chun Hua.

"You have a special physique that relies purely on elemental energy, just like my senior sister. The best way for you to train is to train the pure elemental energy inside of you, that will allow you to make the best use of your physique." That was her teachings for Zhao Ling Jun.

There wasn't much to be worried about since Mu Bao Bao was a talented cultivator in the first place.

She was the one that had been taught everything in the Love Sect, so she knew many things that normal cultivators wouldn't know about.

At the same time, if there were any problems, I would always be available to help.

So there was no need to worry about how she would teach those two new disciples of hers.

Instead, there was something else that required my attention.

Once the matter with He Chun Hua was over, everyone started to disperse.

This meeting had been called for He Chun Hua in the first place and now that she was taken away, there was nothing left for them to do here.

But it wasn't everyone that dispersed.

Huang Xie seemed like he was hanging around and it looked like he was hesitating on something.

It seemed like Xiao Ming was also hanging around behind him, but she didn't seem as hesitant as he was. It was as if she was just there to see what Huang Xie was about to do.

Lin Fan just watched him for a bit before saying, "What is it? If there's anything you have to say, you can say it to your master."

Huang Xie was caught off guard when he heard this and there was another awkward look that appeared on his face, but he still came over to say, "Master, there's something that I want to talk to you about."

Continue your journey on empire

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes slightly to look at Huang Xie, but he eventually gave a nod of agreement.

Then after standing up, the two of them headed off to a different room to talk in private.

Once they were alone, Lin Fan turned to Huang Xie and asked, "What is it?"

Huang Xie looked like he was hesitating again as he stood there, as if he didn't know how to say the words that he wanted to say.

In the end, it was Hei Gui who came out and spoke.

"I'm the one that wants to talk with you."

Lin Fan was surprised since he didn't expect it to be Hei Gui, but he also didn't underestimate him since he knew that Hei Gui was a wealth of knowledge.

If there was something that he wanted to talk about, it could only be a good thing.

Hei Gui didn't hesitate at all to sit down even though he was a fragment of a soul. He acted like he was the one in charge as he used his spiritual energy to pour himself some tea and took a sip, even though the water just seemed to evaporate with the help of his spiritual energy.

He was just a fragment of a soul, so it was only natural that he wouldn't be able to drink the tea.

After taking a sip of the tea, Hei Gui calmly raised his hand and created a map with his spiritual energy. With the way that it was created with the spiritual energy, it seemed like some kind of hologram.

This map was of the Mu Empire and there was a dot on the map that seemed to mark a specific spot.

Looking closely at it, Lin Fan didn't seem to recognize where this place was.

He had to pull out a map that Mu Bao Bao gave him before to match it.

Death Valley.

That was the name of the place that Hei Gui pointed out on the map that he created.

This definitely didn't sound like a place that one would want to visit.

It was even marked as a taboo zone on the map that Lin Fan had.

"So what is special about this place?" Lin Fan asked Hei Gui.

Hei Gui calmly replied, "Something special is about to happen in that place and we should go there to claim the rewards."

"Is that so? What special thing?" Lin Fan asked without backing down.

Hei Gui didn't respond right away this time as if there was something that he was trying to hide.

He really didn't do a good job with this as acting this way just made him seem even more suspicious.

All Lin Fan had to do was narrow his eyes to look at Hei Gui, waiting for him to spill the beans.

In fact, doing this actually made Huang Xie help him pressure Hei Gui as well.

While Hei Gui was someone that had helped and guided Huang Xie over this period of time, it was a fact that Huang Xie was indebted to Lin Fan. It was all because of Lin Fan's support in the beginning that he was able to reach where he was now.

That filled Huang Xie with gratitude towards Lin Fan.

It even reached the point where he viewed Lin Fan as his father, even though Lin Fan wasn't that much older than him in the first place.

So it was only natural that Huang Xie helped Lin Fan over Hei Gui, who was his actual ancestor.

After a long silence, Hei Gui finally said, "There are some herbs that will be helpful to Huang Xie's growth that will be appearing there soon. That Death Valley is a place where death energy gathers and it bursts every few decades, creating a period where powerful herbs will grow."

"It seems like you know quite a bit about that place." Lin Fan said without addressing the main issue.

Hei Gui slowly gave a nod in response before saying, "That place existed even when I was still alive, but it was a place that was much bigger than before. Because the Five Great Sects have been harvesting from that place, it's become much smaller than before."

"The Five Great Sects? How do you know this?" Lin Fan deeply knitted his brows when he heard this.

Hei Gui calmly replied, "The Five Great Sects have been harvesting from this place far before you can even imagine. In fact, this place used to be much bigger, but it slowly became smaller because of the overharvesting that the Five Great Sects have done, which is why it's only this small now."

"Then will they come again?" Lin Fan asked in a serious voice.

The Five Great Sects were the biggest problem for the current Mu Empire.

If this event resulted in the Five Great Sects coming to the Mu Empire, then that was a big problem.

But Hei Gui just said, "No, with what has happened recently, they won't bother coming this time."

Seeing the look that appeared on Lin Fan's face, Hei Gui added, "You're looking down on the Five Great Sects too much. They're sects that have been around since ancient times and the power that they've accumulated is far greater than you can imagine. Now that Death Valley has turned into its current state, it's not as if they care that much about it. It's just something that they give to their juniors to train them."

Lin Fan deeply knitted his brows at this, but he eventually gave a slow nod of agreement.

With the current relationship between the Mu Empire and the Five Great Sects, it wasn't as if they would risk this just for some resources. What they wanted was the entire Mu Empire back under their fingers, not just some resources that they would give to juniors.

Instead, Lin Fan asked, "Then are there only resources that Huang Xie can use?"

Hei Gui shook his head as he said, "No, there's all kinds of resources, but it still requires a certain amount of knowledge to be able to refine them into usable things."

"Knowledge that you have?" Lin Fan asked right back.

Hei Gui was silent for a bit before slowly giving a nod in response.

At that, Lin Fan said, "Alright, then we'll bring everyone there for a training outing."

Hei Gui slightly knitted his brows as he said, "Death Valley isn't as weak as you think. It's not a place that anyone can go to."

Lin Fan just said with a calm smile, "I think you're looking down on the Love Sect too much."

Hei Gui had a strange look appear on his face after hearing this, but he didn't say anything in response.

After all, he had been wrong about this before.
