Cultivation Pet Shop

Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen were waiting outside the store at the crack of dawn, waiting for the people who they had arranged to meet to come pick them up.

It was the day of the Ancient Era Ruins expedition that was announced a month ago.

The details of the gathering had been released a week ago and now they were on their way.

As for why they were going at dawn, that was the choice of the people who organized this expedition, so there was nothing they could say about it.

The store would still run as normal since Lulu and Momonga were there to take care of it.

The only thing that they had to think about was this Ancient Era Ruins expedition.

It didn't take long before a beast carriage arrived in front of Lin Fan's store.

When the door opened, it revealed faces that Lin Fan couldn't be more familiar with. After all, whenever something happened, these were the people that always came to pick him up.

Sitting inside the beast carriage were Qiao Yi Fei, Mao Tao, and Murong Yue.

As for Fu Ling, she didn't come because she wasn't part of the group heading into the Ancient Era Ruins. Instead, there was another mission that she had to take care of with her grandfather, so she wasn't present.

The five of them silently made their way to the gathering area. It was clear that they were trying to focus their minds before heading into the Ancient Era Ruins.

But before they arrived, Murong Yue suddenly pulled something out that she spread in front of her.

Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen were surprised to see this, but when they saw what was on the piece of paper that Murong Yue pulled out, they knitted their brows even more.

In front of them was a map that was incomplete, but this was a map that they had never seen before.

It wasn't strange for Lin Fan to not have seen this map before since he was still considered new to the Galactic Humanity Alliance, but for someone like Mo Ze Chen who went all around this upper realm, it was strange when he didn't recognize the map.

That meant that this map was either of a place that was hidden or it was of a place that wasn't on this planet. But that wouldn't make sense since there was no reason to show a map of a place that wasn't on the planet.

So the only explanation was that this was a map of a hidden place.

Moreover, with where they were going, it was most likely that this was a map of the Ancient Era Ruins, or at least what had been explored so far.

As for how the Hunters Organization got this information, that was up to the imagination. After all, it wasn't like there were that many people that had this information.

This information definitely came from a high ranking spy that they had either placed in the Thunder Sect or the True Spirit Sect. Those two sects were the ones leading this expedition, so they must have explored a bit of it before which created the current map in front of them.

After leaving the map for a few minutes, Murong Yue suddenly rolled it up and put it back in her Storage Ring without a single word. However, the meaning behind her actions were quite clear.

It didn't take them that long to reach the gathering spot and when they arrived, they saw that there were already quite a few people that were already here.

Based on the groups that they gathered in, it was clear to see that these were the different alliances between the different factions.

After they arrived, the other groups all looked at them and waited for them to head to one of the groups.

After looking around to see what the groups were, Lin Fan led his group from the Hunters Organization to a location that was separate from the other groups, standing there as if they were waiting for something.

Well, they were waiting for something.

The Hunters Organization had more tokens than just the ones that were given to the five of them, so they had also found other people to go with them into the Ancient Era Ruins. However, those other people didn't seem like they had arrived just yet.

But that wasn't strange since they had arrived early.

After waiting for a bit, the rest of their group slowly showed up and finally they had all gathered.

Once they were all gathered, Lin Fan led the group to join one of the larger groups that were already waiting there.

He didn't lead the Hunters Organization group over to the Myriad Sword Hall and the Ice Goddess Palace group, instead he led the Hunters Organization group over to where the neutral factions like the Tamers Guild and the Alchemy King Hall were standing.

The alliance between them and the Myriad Sword Hall and the Ice Goddess Palace was a secret, so naturally they couldn't openly interact like the rest of the groups were doing.

By nature, the Hunters Organization would be considered a neutral faction because of what kind of faction they are, but of course, the situation was different this time. However, before the time was right, they would hold themselves back and stay with the neutral faction.

As more and more time passed and the time to open the Ancient Era Ruins approached, there were more and more people that arrived.

Many of them were people that Lin Fan didn't recognize, but there were a few that he did recognize.

The leader of the Myriad Sword Hall and the Ice Goddess Palace were people he couldn't be more familiar with. He was also familiar with the people from the Tamers Guild since they had met when he had been at the Tamers Guild for his Monster Trainer Exam.

As for the other factions, there were a few people that were strangely familiar to him.

For example, the group from the Dian Family and the Ying Family, for some reason, the leaders that led this group were familiar to him.

After thinking about it, he realized that these people were familiar to him because they were similar to the two that he had met back on the Blue Star Planet. The two of them must be their elder siblings…

That meant that the two who he had met back on the Blue Star Planet didn't have low positions in the Dian Family and the Ying Family…

This was not a good thing for him.

As for the Alchemy King Hall, he didn't find anyone that he recognized even though he thought that he should.

With Song Shu's backing and talent, she should have been one of the few people that received a token. Or at least that was what Lin Fan had thought, but now it seemed like that wasn't the case.

However, when he saw this, he wasn't disappointed at all.

He knew that this Ancient Era Ruin would be a very dangerous place and it would be best for her if she didn't enter it.

Then again, that elder treasured her like his own granddaughter, so it was reasonable that he wouldn't let her come to this dangerous place.

Finally, it was time for the Ancient Era Ruin to open.

The ones that came out were Lei Feng from the Thunder Sect and Shi Yi from the True Spirit Sect.

Lin Fan was familiar with Lei Feng because of all the times they had met, but when he saw Shi Yi, he couldn't help being surprised by her.

After all, even though he had read reports on what she looked like, when he was finally seeing her, he couldn't help being surprised by her appearance.

He had read that she was smaller compared to other people her age, but he never expected her to be something that he had only read about in mangas before.

The best way to describe her was…legal loli.

It wasn't like the granny loli that he had seen before, this was a girl who was in the prime of her life, but her appearance…was like that of a little child.

Lin Fan was sure that if she was on earth, there would be plenty of people who would be trying to make a move on her…

However, the moment that she appeared, the first thing that she did was glare in Lin Fan's direction.

It was clear that she knew something and she was holding a grudge against him, but he didn't seem to mind it. After all, he knew that it was impossible for him to hide what he did, not to mention that even if it was hidden, Lei Feng would have pinned this matter on him regardless.

This was something that he had already expected, so why would he be surprised by it?

The two of them walked through the crowd and came right up to the stage that had been set up, which everyone had gathered around.

Once they were on the stage, Lei Feng came up to the microphone that was prepared and said, "Is everyone ready?"

There was no response to this question, but looking across the crowd, it was clear that everyone was more than ready.

Lei Feng gave a nod before turning around to give a nod to the experts that had gathered around a tree that was placed behind the stage.

Seeing this nod, the experts suddenly raised their life energy and injected it into the tree. Or rather, they injected it into certain spots around the tree.

Once this life energy was released, there were rods that suddenly came out of the ground.
