Chapter 123: Training Starts, Robbers Hot on Tails
“Impossible.” Mo Jingzhe had confidence in his experiences. He believed himself to be the proudest son of heaven, a genius among geniuses. He disdained the use of any external assistance; he believed that one should achieve everything by their own power.
And now, someone was telling him that he had reached the third stage of the Earth Star Border Realm from the second stage of the Body Tempering Realm in the short span of one month. How could that be possible?
“Hmph!” Lin Fan snorted in response. “A frog at the bottom of the well will always be a frog at the bottom of the well. He would never know how high heaven is or how deep the earth goes. If you go out and take a look, you will find many things that seem impossible in this world.”
Uncle Cheng came to Mo Lingyu’s side and advised, “Miss, we have to stop Young Master from fighting with Mr. Lin.”
Mo Lingyu nodded in agreement. She didn’t know that it would turn out like this. Even in her dreams, she never expected her brother and Gentleman Lin to start arguing the very first time they met. And in her opinion, the arrogance had gone to her brother’s head.
How could it be possible that brother has not taken any pill? She recalled how her brother had secretly taken a high-grade pill when he was a child. Had the expert not suppressed its violent efficacy, I’m afraid Brother would have exploded.
“I don’t believe it, I...” Mo Jingzhe’s eyes burned with endless fighting spirit as if he would start fighting with Lin Fan just to prove who was stronger and who was weaker. But before he finished challenging Lin Fan, he was interrupted by Mo Lingyu.
“Brother, we have the Gorefiend Dragon’s Inner Core already, we have to return immediately to save father.”
Mo Jingzhe was taken aback. He etched Lin Fan’s face into his memory; quite obviously, he was planning on playing with Lin Fan in the future. Then, he asked, “Tell me your name.”
Lin Fan smiled indifferently; he didn’t place any attention on the other party. “Be sure to remember it – Lin Fan, the Magnificent Flame Sect’s inner disciple.”
Mo Jingzhe took a deep breath. His gaze was as hot as flame as if there was a fire burning in his eyes. “You also remember – Mo Jingzhe, the young master of Spirit Wind City’s Mo Family.”
Mo Lingyu, on the other hand, bowed slightly to Lin Fan. “Thank You, Gentleman Lin, for lending your assistance. When you come to Spirit Wind City in the future, Lingyu will personally welcome you.”
Lin Fan just waved his hand. “Miss Mo, you are too kind.”
In Mo Jingzhe’s opinion, he couldn’t let go of this matter. Originally, he should have been peerless after having finished his cultivation. But he had never imagined that he would encounter someone like Lin Fan. As such, he would not be at peace until he fought with Lin Fan. But with his father grievously injured, he needed to return home with the Gorefiend Dragon’s Inner Core immediately.
Lin Fan, watching the Mo Family leave, was also prepared to leave, planning on going to the merchant guild to exchange his wealth. However, when he noticed the several-dozen-feet-long Gorefiend Dragon lying on the ground, he felt a little helpless.
An Earth Start Border Stage Five Gorefiend Dragon was extremely valuable. It was an essential ingredient in many pills.
“Who wants to buy the Gorefiend Dragon?” Lin Fan glanced at everyone around and shouted aloud.
As soon as his words fell, several people stepped out from the crowd. Obviously, they had been long waiting for these words. All these people were the alchemists of various apothecaries of the Cumulus Bazaar. They followed the hunting team here when they learned that they were going to hunt the Gorefiend Dragon. After all, the Gorefiend Dragon was an exceptionally good ingredient. It could be used to refine the Dragon Marrow Pill, an upper-grade Mystic-class pill. And if the alchemist was even more competent, they could also refine a Heavenly Dragon Pill, a lower-grade Earth-class pill.
These two pills were quite exceptional. Their effects were simply amazing. For instance, the Heavenly Dragon Pill gave its user a certain chance of inheriting a dragon vein.
It might be just a dragon vein, but it had a very strong effect. It could raise the level of one’s physique. And there was a chance to improve this dragon vein into a Primeval Divine Dragon Veins, an incredible set of veins.
Of course, this was just a possibility, nothing more, nothing less. Since ancient times, no one had reached this level.
“My Medicinal Palace offers 1.5 million.” An old man walked out with a majestic gait. He was overflowing with energy. Obviously, he was an expert alchemist and was planning to use it by himself.
“Hmph, the Medicinal Palace is really generous. The entire body of a fifth stage Earth Star Border Realm Gorefiend Dragon is a treasure. The last Gorefiend Dragon was sold for two million. This one here is even stronger than the last one, and you are offering just 1.5 million. My Alchemy Pavilion offers 2.5 million.” A middle-aged man walked out, carrying his hands behind his back. His clothes spoke for his tremendous wealth.
Lin Fan no longer cared about these few millions. He let them fight over it. Now, he was simply sticking to the principle of wasting nothing. He would sell anything that could be sold. After selling it, he still had to go deep into the two danger zones to continue his cultivation.
As for this wealth, it would be left for the sect. It might be easy to make money in the Cumulus Bazaar, but the pills here were more expensive than the sect.
In the end, the Gorefiend Dragon was sold for three million, a small fortune nonetheless.
In the past, I might have gotten excited over three million, but now, my heart is extremely calm; this has not moved my heart in the least.
After finishing the transaction, Lin Fan returned straight to the Cumulus Bazaar to exchange the bills.
He could always feel pairs of greedy eyes focused on him. However, he could never find their source no matter how much he tried to find them. This forced Lin Fan to give it a careful thought.
Well then, it’s time to fish.
A major part of my wealth is exposed to the public already. And by putting those bills in my storage ring casually, I let everyone know that I am very rich now. If you have any intent to steal it, you should act now. If you miss it, you won’t find this chance in the future.
Many people were present at Scaled Dragon Lake. In their opinion, Lin Fan was a kid with a lot of money. So, some people’s minds would definitely start having some funny ideas.
“What do you think, is this kid really in the third stage of the Earth Star Border Realm?”
“It’s not possible. He killed the Gorefiend Dragon. How can he be a mere Earth Star Border Stage Three?”
“That was an Earth Star Border Stage Five Gorefiend Dragon, it’s impossible for even an ordinary Earth Star Border Stage Five cultivator to kill the Gorefiend Dragon. But there is an exception, and that is if the Gorefiend Dragon was seriously injured and this kid caught that opportunity.”
“A fortune has presented itself before us. If we let it go, it will be difficult to find it in the future. This is my opinion. Anyway, it’s normal to kill and rob others at the Cumulus Bazaar. Besides, I’m afraid this kid is planning on going to the dangerous zones later. We’ll follow right behind him, perhaps when we get there, we won’t even need to dirty our hands; he might get killed by some monster there.”
These people were a little moved after hearing this. Just as the saying goes, riches and honor cannot be sought without any risks. If they succeeded somehow, they would really become rich.
The Mo Family’s convoy made a beeline to Spirit Wind City.
With Mo Jingzhe present, they were not afraid of encountering any evil cultivators. It was just that, Mo Jingzhe, who looked all calm and poised riding the Divine Magma Horse, wasn’t feeling as calm as he looked. He felt as if a huge rock had been placed on his chest. If he couldn’t get free of it, his heart would not be at peace.
Tabdak... Tabdak...
Right at this moment, a group of people on horses appeared in the distance. Mo Jingzhe was overjoyed with their appearance.
“Sister, Second Uncle is here. I need to finish something, you go back first.” Mo Jingzhe turned the Divine Magma Horse straightaway, galloping straight toward the Cumulus Bazaar.
Just as Mo Lingyu wanted to say something, she found that her brother had already disappeared into the distance.
The oncoming team came to a halt before the Mo Family’s convoy. The leading middle-aged man stabilized his breath before asking, “Dear Niece, have you got the Gorefiend Dragon’s Inner Core?”
Mo Lingyu got out of the carriage immediately and replied, “Second Uncle, I got it.”
“What about Jingzhe? Didn’t he also go to the Cumulus Bazaar?”
“Brother just left to do something. But it’s alright, he should be back soon.” Mo Lingyu recalled her brother’s expression, and she had some idea what her brother wanted to do. Obviously, he wants to fight with Gentleman Lin.
“Very well, let’s go back quickly.”
...
At this time, Lin Fan was pondering about where he should go for cultivation. Even after making his choice, he was in a bit of a jam.
Thousand Deep Caves!
Spirit Summoning Ruins!
Just by their names, it’s quite apparent that these two danger zones are very high-end. Especially the Thousand Deep Caves, which stretches deep in every direction. There are countless monsters inside it. And according to some rumors, treasure can also be found inside.
I guess there is no harm in trying.
After that, Lin Fan didn’t give it much more thought and headed straight to the Thousand Deep Caves.
However, I have to find a good place before that. Cruel Blood and the Magic of the Seven Gods have left me with some sequelae. They might not be serious for the time being, but I need to be at my peak to go to a new place.
This would not only guarantee one’s own protection, but it would serve as a kind of warning to the monsters living in dangerous places.
Thousand Deep Caves!
This was also the first time he saw this danger zone. Before his eyes was an endless pitch-black rocky ground with pits as wide as a human’s height everywhere. All kinds of weird beast cries and ghastly shrieks could be heard coming out from these dark deep pits.
Any timid person would be too afraid to go in, but an educated person would know that it was just because of the wind.
Lin Fan jumped straight down, glided down the dark slides and disappeared into the darkness in no time.
After a while, several figures appeared by the pit Lin Fan jumped into.
“This kid actually entered the Thousand Deep Caves. The Goddess of Luck is by our side. The Thousand Deep Caves is our ground. It seems that we have a better chance now.”
“Let’s go, let’s follow him, we can’t lose sight of him.”
After these people went in, several more figures appeared and jumped into the dark slide without a moment of hesitation.
