Chapter 41 - Thinking of Ways to Obtain Spiritual Mountains
“However, I should only be considered a pseudo-Cave Heaven Realm right now?”
Amidst his excitement, Lin Fan also noticed a problem.
In terms of combat power, after merging the power of Fan Jianqiang and Xiao Ling’er, he indeed possessed Cave Heaven Realm strength, without any exaggeration. His endurance was also excellent, making it truly substantial.
However, his physical body was somewhat lacking.
In terms that Lin Fan was most familiar with: his attack, defense, and MP had all reached the Cave Heaven Realm, but his HP was a bit low. Compared to true Cave Heaven Realm cultivators, he was “squishy.”
“That’s right.”
“The fourth realm is when the Profound Origin Qi accumulates to its peak within the Profound Gate, and then a qualitative change occurs due to quantitative change, opening up a Cave Heaven within the physical body.”
“But my current state is temporary. I haven’t opened up a physical Cave Heaven. It’s just that my realm has risen, granting me the same combat power. This is not difficult to understand.”
“However, it’s enough.”
“Squishy?”
“Just kill the opponent instantly!”
Moreover, he didn’t need to take action himself right now. At least, he didn’t need to deal with Cave Heaven Realm cultivators yet. There were elders for that!
When the time came, wouldn’t his realm naturally rise?
“Take the path of suppressing others with my realm. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of my ‘skills’?”
Lin Fan planned his future this way.
“As for the current increase in strength, it’s just a necessary step. At the same time, it’s adding another layer of insurance, just in case.”
…
…
Early morning.
Fan Jianqiang strolled down the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, he met the disciples guarding the gate today, Murong Pipa and Qiu Yongqin. He even greeted them cheerfully, “Hard work. I’m going down the mountain to check the feng shui.”
“This… please.”
The two naturally couldn’t stop him.
In terms of status, they were just ordinary disciples, while Fan Jianqiang was the sect master’s personal disciple. How could they compare? They couldn’t possibly stop the latter from going down the mountain.
“Ah, I’m truly envious.”
Seeing Fan Jianqiang walk away, the two exchanged a look. Murong Pipa sighed softly, “The sect master’s personal disciple. With such status, wouldn’t he get condensing Yuan pill at least three per month?”
“In my opinion, it should be four, or even five!” Qiu Yongqin thought it should be more.
“Unfortunately, it’s not our turn.”
Murong Pipa smiled bitterly.
“Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all beings as straw dogs.” Qiu Yongqin sighed, “The talents of all living beings are different. His talent must be far beyond yours and mine. This is something we can’t envy.”
“As ordinary disciples like us, we can only study diligently, conscientiously, day and night, early and late, forgetting food and sleep, without the slightest hope , to have a glimmer of !”
“I naturally know this, but I can’t do it. I’m not jealous, just envious.” Murong Pipa smiled bitterly, “I don’t have your determination, nor can I work as hard as you.”
“Truly envious.”
Qiu Yongqin was speechless.
Who wasn’t envious?
It would be a lie to say they weren’t envious. He was also very envious.
But he wouldn’t let it affect his state of mind.
He would strive hard, and he would do what he said!
“However, with good talent and the sect master and elders’ favor, can he do whatever he wants?” Murong Pipa suddenly muttered, “Xiao Ling’er has been cultivating or refining pills, but he’s studying this illusory feng shui?”
…
Qiu Yongqin didn’t say anything.
He just frowned slightly.
He thought to himself: If it were him, he would definitely not waste time like this.
The path of immortality was unpredictable and full of crises. Only by constantly improving oneself could one achieve longevity and protect oneself and the sect!
…
“Sect Master.”
In the morning, Wu Xingyun came to see Lin Fan, her beautiful eyes carefully examining him.
She exclaimed, “You… you’ve broken through again?!”
“By chance.”
Lin Fan chuckled, “After consuming two Grade Nine Profound Yuan Pills, I barely broke through a small realm. It should… only be considered mediocre, right?”
“After all, they are Grade Nine pills.”
Wu Xingyun: “… Uh, that’s true.”
She wouldn’t say that she had never eaten Grade Nine pills and had no idea what they did.
But with the Grade Nine Profound Origin Pills as a base, she wasn’t that shocked anymore.
Perhaps, Grade Nine pills were just that powerful?
She cupped her fists and began to talk about business, “Fan Jianqiang has gone down the mountain.”
“Do you need me to follow him secretly?”
“Absolutely not!”
Lin Fan sternly refused.
He was thinking about how to make Fan Jianqiang completely loyal to him. If she followed him, it would easily make him feel that the sect didn’t trust him, which was not a good thing.
“Use people without suspicion, suspect people without use!”
Lin Fan explained.
“I know what the Sect Master is worried about. I can follow him quietly without him noticing.”
“No need for that.”
Following quietly without him noticing?
That was Gou Sheng!
Would he not notice?
“Let him go. I believe he won’t mess around.”
“Then… alright, I’ll listen to the Sect Master.”
Wu Xingyun felt that her sect master was becoming more and more mysterious.
But since Lin Fan took over as sect master, there hadn’t been any mistakes. On the contrary, he had made the Embracing Moon Sect flourish… so she was willing to believe Lin Fan.
“Speaking of which, it’s still about exchanging sincerity for sincerity.”
After Wu Xingyun left, Lin Fan thought about it and still felt it was difficult.
Xiao Ling’er was easier to ‘handle’, but Gou Sheng wasn’t so easy to win over.
Only by exchanging sincerity for sincerity.
After all, protagonist templates, except for that… certain surname, right, were basically all considered to be affectionate and righteous people.
Moreover, Fan Jianqiang currently regarded the Embracing Moon Sect as his home. This time down the mountain, it was ninety-nine percent for ‘stability’, so there was no need to worry.
Lin Fan felt that if it could be ‘datafied’.
Xiao Ling’er’s loyalty should be above 90% now, and there was basically no possibility of problems.
And Fan Jianqiang should be around 60%, barely passing.
As long as he didn’t mess around, he shouldn’t betray.
As for the remaining goodwill, he would slowly build it up.
“Continue cultivating and wait for the crisis to come!”
…
It wasn’t that Lin Fan was careless and didn’t make preparations.
But there was really nothing good to prepare.
Invite people? Sorry, he couldn’t invite them.
Set up formations? The sect’s protective formation was already the limit of the Embracing Moon Sect’s formation skills.
The elders were also making other preparations. Besides that… hadn’t Fan Jianqiang already taken action?
He was responsible for cultivating and improving his strength.
After all, even if he wanted to be stable and set up formations together, he couldn’t.
He didn’t have the resources!
He was poor!
Not to mention anything else, he didn’t even have a few spirit fields, not even enough to grow common spiritual herbs.
“After this crisis is over, I have to find a way to expand.”
“Otherwise, just relying on this ordinary spiritual mountain and the elders going out to hunt for resources, how many resources can I get? It’s not even enough for our own use.”
“I can’t always rely on Xiao Ling’er to refine pills and sell them…”
Although her loyalty was high, he couldn’t treat her like a beast of burden, right?
Moreover, she also needed to cultivate.
The elders needed to as well.
While cultivating, Lin Fan began to think.
First, he would get ten or eight spiritual mountains, and then…
