From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

Lin Fan felt his body burning up, as if his dantian was going through some fusion process.

Luckily, with his Physique Cultivation, he could endure the pain that came with it.

Slowly, he felt every sensation and every movement.

Even the movement of his blood when it pulsed through his veins.

All of a sudden, it went the other way.

The heat and warmth from his dantian turned cold.

It was now like an icy lake.

With the Qi being frozen inside of it.

Everything slowed down.

His breathing and blood stopped flowing.

With it, his Qi flowed back to the icy lake of his dantian, like rivers flowing into the sea.

Lin Fan felt so cold that he started to shiver, even after all the physique cultivation he'd gone through.

When all his Qi was gone and accumulated in his dantian's icy lake, the frozen surface broke.

Qi then burst out of his dantian.

Filling him with the sense of power and energy.

[Ding! Congratulations on upgrading your Physiques.]

[Your Physical strength/endurance x 2.]

[Usage of abilities x 2.]

Lin Fan stood up and summoned the system's information panel again.

[Current Beast Ability: 3/3]

[Wild Rabbit Abilities Level: 2/3]

[Wolf Ability Level: 2/3]

[Earth Breaker Salamander Ability Level: 2/3]

[Current Physique Level: 6 (3200 Vengeance Points to upgrade)]

[Current Vengeance Points: 160]

As he had expected, the next upgrade would require 3200 vengeance points.

He would have to try and finish as many missions as possible.

But right now, he wanted to test out what he could do, now that he was at Level 6.

Lin Fan walked out of the wooden hut.

He took out his hammers and tried out the three strokes of the Eight Trigram Beast Hammer Style.

The Eight Trigram Sound Wave took up less Qi to execute; he could do it twelve times before exhausting his Qi and Energy.

He could also perform the Eight Trigram Beast Transform strike eight times before running out of Qi and energy.

As for the Eight Trigram Hammer Throw, four times was the maximum that he could execute now.

Satisfied with the improvements, Lin Fan continued with his Physique Cultivation routine.

…

Next day.

Lin Fan asked to be excused as he wanted to find Sima Liang.

He witnessed how a valuable artifact could turn the tide of the battle, and he wanted one.

Right now, Lin Fan had nothing except for his hammers and pills.

He wanted to ensure his chance of survival would be greater.

Zhang Yi Niang gave him the go-ahead, as he didn't have the resources for Lin Fan yet.

It took Zhang Yi Nian some pestering for Qing Yang Zi to allocate more cultivation resources for the Physique Peak.

With Zhang Yi Nian's permission, Lin Fan set off for Hong Feng city to find Sima Liang.

After he arrived at Sima Family's mansion, the servants guided him to the guest room.

When Sima Liang entered, he had ink all over his hands and gave out a huge sigh.

"I'm so glad to see you. Have a seat," Sima Liang said and turned to the servant, gesturing them to bring more food and drinks in for Lin Fan.

Lin Fan shook his head and smiled.

He figured Sima Liang must have been doing accounting before coming to greet him.

"I'm here for a favor," Lin Fan said.

"Favor? I'll get angry if you say that again. I owe you more than that; it can never be repaid in my lifetime."

Sima Liang was appreciative of what Lin Fan had done for him.

He would try his best to fulfill Lin Fan's requests.

"I need an artifact that would give me protection or something that supplements my powers."

Lin Fan listed out his request.

"You came just in time. Come with me to meet Master Xin; he just completed his new masterpiece."

Sima Liang quickly led Lin Fan to meet with Master Xin.

As usual, Master Xin was pounding his hammer on a piece of red-hot iron when they entered.

"Master Xin, show him your latest piece of work," Sima Liang said with enthusiasm.

Eager to show Lin Fan what it was.

Master Xin stopped what he was doing and put down his hammer.

He went back into the workshop and took out a box.

"This is the demonic beast core amulet."

Master Xin said while he opened the box, and continued, "Put whatever demonic beast core into it, and the wearer can turn into the demonic beast until its power runs out. Just inject Qi into it to activate it."

Lin Fan was intrigued; it would be of great help as he still had the demonic beast core from the Earth Breaker Salamander.

With the amulet in his hand, he held it up and inspected it.

The amulet was shaped like a circle, and it had a depression in the center, for the demonic beast core to be placed.

Surrounding it was dark red metal with scriptures carved all around it.

"Anywhere I can try this? I have some Fire Deer demonic beast core for testing," Lin Fan asked.

"We can try it out in the garden if you want to," Sima Liang replied.

Master Xin nodded and continued his work.

When they got to the garden, Lin Fan took out a Fire Deer's demonic beast core and placed it into the amulet.

He then injected his Qi into the amulet.

An orange glow started to come out of the amulet.

It quickly engulfed Lin Fan and the next moment; Lin Fan's form changed into a Fire Deer.

The experience was jarring at first, being in the form of a Fire Deer.

But it was straightforward; any thoughts he made, and the form would follow.

First, Lin Fan slowly tried out walking.

And when he was proficient enough, he started galloping around the garden.

Lastly, he directed his Qi, and a fireball formed in front of the antlers.

Whoosh.

The fireball shot at the pond in the garden, making the water splash out.

After that, Lin Fan changed back to his human form.

The essence in the demonic beast core was used up.

Lin Fan was very satisfied with the artifact.

"How much for it?" He turned to Sima Liang and asked.
