Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

Xu Ran's arrival at the Yunlan Sect quickly reached the ears of the Yunlan Sect higher-ups.

Xu Ran and Nalan Yanran's public display of affection had already driven the disciples to frenzy. Even though he was not an opponent for Xu Ran, they were still filled with righteous indignation.

After all, when Nalan Yanran, the goddess, was still single, although they knew they had no chance, they could still fantasize. Imagining that one day Nalan Yanran would take a fancy to them despite being blind—wouldn't that be delightful?

But now that Nalan Yanran was in the arms of another man, all their fantasies were shattered!

Of course, with things having gotten this bad, how could they possibly have a chance?

Moreover, everyone knew how strong Xu Ran was. If it were someone else with Nalan Yanran, they could still gather a bunch of people to give him a beating, but what could they say against someone as formidable as Xu Ran?

And the arrival of Xu Ran also sent shockwaves through the higher echelons of the Yunlan Sect!

Everyone knew just what level of an expert Xu Ran was!

Hovering in midair for a long time, that's space power, a power that only a Dou Zong expert can control.

If the Yunlan Sect could recruit a Dou Zong expert, the sect would become stronger. In the future, within the Jia Ma Empire, other powers would hold the Yunlan Sect in even higher regard.

Even in the broader world, they would have a greater say.

The strength of a sect depends on the power of its strongest members; that's what's most important!

And a powerful figure like Xu Ran, who is a Dou Zong now, doesn't mean he will always remain a Dou Zong. What if he broke through to an even higher realm in the future? Some didn't dare to think about it; what a sight that would be if that day came?

The unspoken thought was, they needed to sway Xu Ran to join the Yunlan Sect!

Such a powerful being, if word got out, would certainly be fiercely contended over!

Luckily, the Yunlan Sect had the advantage of striking first!

"Yan Ran has truly accomplished a great deed this time! I originally thought that a master like Xu Ran might actually forget about Yan Ran. After all, such experts aren't lacking for beauties, but unexpectedly..." Yun Leng said excitedly, his face flushed with excitement. If the Yunlan Sect grew stronger, he, as an Elder, would also reap more benefits.

"Right, right. We absolutely can't miss out on such a powerful figure coming to the Yunlan Sect. If we can make that expert happy, we could directly let Yan Ran and Xu Ran get married!"

"Yes! Although Yan Ran has an engagement with Xiao Yan from Wu Tan City, what is Xiao Yan? Nothing but trash. If Yan Ran marries Xu Ran, in the future Yan Ran could whisper in the pillow wind, and then our Yunlan Sect could gain even more benefits."

"In my opinion, we should pay a visit to that esteemed individual first."

"Let's go, we'll go together."

Yun Leng gave an imposing glance to everyone present, then spoke.

With such a person visiting the Yunlan Sect, they had to show their enthusiasm and make their sincerity known.

If Yan Ran isn't up to it, isn't there still the Sect Master who could talk to this esteemed person? Yun Leng thought to himself. Yun Yun, the beautiful Sect Master, who in the world doesn't know of her?

Although Nalan Yanran is also very pretty, it is Yun Yun who truly ranks as the foremost beauty.

He believed that when the time came, Yun Yun Sect Master would certainly satisfy Xu Ran.

When the Yunlan Sect's higher-ups arrived at Nalan Yanran's doorstep one after another, Nalan Yanran came out and was startled.

All the Elders of the Yunlan Sect had actually come to wait outside her room!

Who were these people?

And now they had all come.

However, she also knew they were here for Xu Ran.

"Greetings to all the Elders," Nalan Yanran said, momentarily regaining her composure and saluting the many Elders.

"Yan Ran ah, there's no need for this."

"Yes, Yan Ran. You're the Sect Master's disciple; your status won't be lower than ours in the future."

"Yan Ran is becoming more and more beautiful. How long has it been since we've last seen you? You've changed so much. It really is true that a girl changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood."

None of the Elders really dared to treat Nalan Yanran as just another disciple of the Yunlan Sect.

They were very clear, if Nalan Yanran truly had that kind of relationship with Xu Ran, then her status would be even higher than theirs; they might even have to look to Nalan Yanran for guidance on what to do.

Otherwise, if Nalan Yanran casually spoke ill of them in Xu Ran's ear, wouldn't they be doomed?

The Elders were very clear about the huge gap between the strength of a Douwang and a Douzong.

For Xu Ran, controlling them was too easy.

"Yan Ran ah, did Xu Ran say anything to you when he came to see you this time?" Yun Leng couldn't help but ask.

"Right, right, right. Did Xu Ran tell you any other matters? Like his identity?"

The many Elders were all somewhat curious.

They only knew that Xu Ran could stand suspended in the air, which was the mark of a Dou Zong Expert who wielded space power. Although a Dou Wang, Dou Huang might fly, that was by using Dou Qi Hua Yi, fundamentally different from the space power of a Douzong.

"It seems that Xu Ran is also an Alchemist," Nalan Yanran said, blinking her large eyes. Seeing so many respected Elders showing such posture, she couldn't help but find it a bit funny. Moreover, they referred to him as an adult, which made her feel quite odd.

"An Alchemist?"

"My heavens! Is this noble person also a distinguished Alchemist?"

The many Elders were trembling as they spoke.

They of the Yunlan Sect were lacking a powerful Alchemist; if…

"That's right. Yan Ran made a breakthrough directly to Dou Shi after taking the Elixirs given to her by that person. The Elixir she took was likely personally refined by this Dan King. Thus, it's not too surprising for this person to be an Alchemist," one of the Elders said.

Fortunately, they already knew that Xu Ran's "Cultivation Level" was of a Douzong, so although they were shocked to learn that Xu Ran was an Alchemist, they did not lose their composure.

"What grade of Alchemist is Xu Ran? Did he tell you?" Yun Leng asked. Although being an Alchemist was a rare profession, a large sect like the Yunlan Sect did have Alchemists of the Fourth Grade and above.

What they cared about was the grade of Xu Ran's Alchemy skills!

A Douzong Expert crafting Elixirs should not be of low ability, right?

"He said…" Nalan Yanran, feeling a bit mischievous, decided to tease them a little. She wanted to see the expression on the Elder's face when he heard the news. She herself had been shocked for quite some time when she first heard it.

"What did he say? Tell us quickly!" the many Elders couldn't help but ask.

"I asked him if he was a Seventh Rank Alchemist. He said he was a bit stronger than that," Nalan Yanran said with a smile.

As her words fell, the Elders gazed in stunned silence, completely dumbfounded!

Even Dan King Gu He was only a Sixth Grade!

Being a bit stronger than Seventh Grade, what grade was that exactly?

Didn't that mean Xu Ran's Alchemy skills were many times more formidable than Gu He's?

Good heavens!

What kind of monster was this?

Just a bit stronger than Seventh Grade – how much was that bit? It was clearly beyond their imagination.
