Chapter 159: Let Me Test Your IQ
Lin Fan was completely absorbed in the strong and vast potency of the pill. This Spirit Python Soaring Dragon Pill is indeed very strong. With one ten-thousandth of the old monster’s cultivation, plus various spiritual herbs, its potency is simply extraordinary.
I’m afraid an ordinary person would have blown up already.
A swarm of evil black pythons tossed and turned in his body. What’s more was that there was a drop of golden blood in this swarm, wrapped by these black pythons.
“Is this the Dark Nether Python’s blood?”
Lin Fan didn’t want to integrate this bloodline into his. He was going to refine it into the purest earth energy and integrate into his body that way. He was very satisfied with his bloodline. He didn’t want to mix any bloodline with his.
Boom!
Lin Fan’s majestic earth energy turned into a whirlpool, crushing the drop of golden blood.
The frog kept croaking and struggling. Even if this guy is refining this pill, he didn’t forget to grab hold of me.
The frog was really desperate.
But when it saw through Lin Fan’s condition with its vast knowledge and experience, it was pretty shocked.
An upper-grade Earth-class pill, more importantly, a pill like the Spirit Python Soaring Dragon Pill, was a top-class pill among the upper-grade Earth-class pills. Its potency was simply horrifying.
How exactly did this guy cultivate? How can he practice brute force type skillsets to this level? He must have really tortured himself!
There were all kinds of skillsets in this world, but brute force type and evil type skillsets were the hardest to train.
One had to train themselves to the point that they could not be called a human or ghost to cultivate an evil skillset. And brute force type skillsets needed one to constantly temper their flesh and body, expanding their capacity again and again. The suffering they had to go through for this had touched an inhuman level.
Now, the terrifying energy in the pill was rampaging around in Lin Fan’s body, but even then, it was contained by Lin Fan. What shocked the frog even more were especially Lin Fan’s bulging green veins, which were like the roots of a tree and were exuding an extremely terrifying power.
Suddenly, the frog noticed the golden light speck in Lin Fan’s body shattered instantly, shocking it greatly.
“That’s the Dark Nether Python’s blood! It might just be a sliver of it, but if it’s integrated into your bloodline, it will be greatly beneficial to your future cultivation. And yet you have crushed this bloodline to turn it into earth energy? What a waste!” the frog screamed as if it had never occurred to it that this human would do something like this.
The golden speck of light vanished. The frog was completely powerless to do anything now. The bloodline is already refined. After having cut it off from the old monster, it was just a singular existence. It’s such a waste to refine it into earth energy.
This kind of opportunity is hard to come by, especially the bloodline of a ten-thousand-year-old Dark Nether Python. God knows how many people would have fought to have this if it was outside.
It’s such a waste to refine it. What a pity! What a pity!
Boom!
A stream of earth energy suddenly burst out from Lin Fan, shattering the nearby Thousand Cave rocks into pieces.
“What an intense and powerful earth energy! How did this guy accumulate this much!? His cultivation isn’t that high, but his foundation sure is solid.” The frog’s eyes bulged in shock. With its vast knowledge and experience, it was naturally aware of the fact that cultivation wasn’t just about raising your realms ignorantly. One needed to temper themselves and lay a solid foundation. And when the foundation had been laid to one’s limit, that was the perfect time to break through to a higher realm. That way, one could bring out a terrifying strength.
Why were the proud sons and daughters of heaven called proud sons and daughters of heaven? Because they could do something that others couldn’t even dream of. They could kill experts who others couldn’t kill.
They were the proud sons and daughters of heaven, and it was all because of their foundation.
“One, two, thee.
“How is this possible!? He has actually practiced two sets of brute force type skills to perfection? Their grade might not be that high, but it’s still an additional brute force type skillset. He can bring terrifying strength into play even with a low cultivation. This kind of cultivation is nothing less than playing with one’s life.”
The frog got more shocked the more it looked. It had seen many powerful people push skillsets that burned their potential to the limit, but it had not seen someone practice so many at once.
Brute force type skillsets might make one surge with incomparable strength, but this was nothing less than burning away one’s potential. It had dire consequences.
And looking at so many brute force type skillsets cultivated by Lin Fan, it didn’t know what to say.
It was really dumbfounded. He is courting death.
“Oh, yeah! Sure enough, it’s a great tonic.” Lin Fan opened his eyes as two bright gleams shot out from his eyes before disappearing. Just one pill had laid the foundation and accumulated enough earth energy for the next stage.
He might have been a little short had he not refined the sliver of blood, but now, he was brimming with earth energy. He could destroy a hill with just one punch.
The frog immediately shouted. “Hero, you are really mighty and domineering, you are the only person I have seen in my life who is this ruthless to themselves.”
“Hero, please let me go now, please! The pill I refined has helped you strengthen your foundation.”
The frog was on the verge of crying. This was the lowest point it had fallen to in its tens of thousands of years of life; it was caught and forced to refine a pill. It was simply torturous for the frog.
Lin Fan, on the other hand, beamed with smiles as he looked at the frog. “Now, I am very interested in you. You can’t leave yet.”
“Ah! No, how can you not keep your word?” The frog panicked. It had already understood that by revealing its wealth, it had already piqued the other party’s curiosity. It wouldn’t have shown off if it had known this would happen.
Lin Fan then simply ignored the frog and came to the place of the seal. He was also very interested in these eight Demon Sealing Monuments. They were all black and had all kinds of mysterious and divine patterns engraved on them. He could even feel the energy radiating from these eight Demon Sealing Monuments and merging into the seal; obviously, it was the power needed to maintain the seal.
After having seen the work of the lord of these dangerous lands, Lin Fan was also interested in him.
In light of this understanding, he suddenly felt that he was full of interest for everything.
Especially this frog, he was most interested in it.
“Oi, Old Monster, you there?” Lin Fan wanted to check this old monster’s IQ. If he succeeded, he would have a good story to tell. But he wouldn’t lose out anything even if he couldn’t.
“Human, remember, when this old man gets out of this, you will have no choice but to go to hell!” the old monster roared in a gloomy voice after a long while.
Lin Fan, on the other hand, was very calm and didn’t panic at all. “Old Monster, don’t be like this. How confident are you in breaking out of this seal by yourself? And even if you get out, I’m afraid it would be after ten thousand years. At that time, how much strength would you be left with?”
Everyone sunk into silence, a deathly silence.
The frog triumphantly said, “That’s right, that’s right! These eight Demon Sealing Monuments might not be as good as before, but they constantly absorb your power, using your power to suppress yourself. Even if you break this seal, I could suppress you with just one hand.”
“You abomination, you really deserved to have your soul shattered and put into this filthy animal!” the old monster in the seal roared furiously. It wasn’t just infuriated by the human but also hated the vile frog.
Lin Fan was too lazy to care about all the nonsense this old monster was spewing. He directly got to the point, which horrified the frog.
“In fact, I can let you out, but you’ll have to let me cut off a few more of your hands.”
The frog hurriedly shouted as soon as it heard this, “Hero, don’t do this! We’ll all die if this old monster is set free right now. Even though this old monster has been sealed for millennia, this old monster is still very strong. Furthermore, it could take back the energy from the eight Demon Sealing Monuments. Even if it isn’t at its peak, we aren’t its match. We’ll just be seeking a dead end.”
“Hmph, do you really think of this old man as a fool? Why would I believe you!?” the old monster in the seal roared. It felt that this human was just humiliating its wisdom.
“Hero, please don’t!” the frog shouted aloud. Its pale face turned paler. It was nothing more than seeking one’s own doom, asking a tiger for its own hide.
“Shut up.” Lin Fan smacked the frog and continued, “I can swear to the heavens and make an oath. If I break it, I shall die without a burial. You only need to swear that, even if you come out, you can’t kill me ever, okay?”
The old monster in the seal was obviously stunned by Lin Fan’s promise. It had never occurred to it that this human had these kinds of thoughts.
“Are you serious?” the old monster asked gloomily, but a sliver of excitement could be found in its voice. Anything was possible as long as it came out.
Lin Fan flung his sleeve as an earnest look appeared on his face. “But of course. I, Lin Fan, do whatever I say and never go back on my words. I will let you out as long as you fulfill my request, what do you think?”
“Okay, you really are courageous. You are the most courageous human I have met in my entire life.” The old monster obviously hadn’t expected this human to have such courage. “But I don’t have much of my source demon energy remaining. I can only let you cut three more times, otherwise, my original form will collapse, and I won’t be able to take form.”
“That works for me.” Lin Fan nodded in agreement before looking at the sky. “I, Lin Fan, swear to the heavens that, as long as this old monster lets me cut it three times, I will let it out of this seal. If I violate this oath, I shall be struck by lightning and reduced to ashes.”
A mysterious force broke through space and formed an oath to the heavens, covering the entire region at once.
The old monster hadn’t really expected for the human to swear. “Good, good! This old man swears to the heavens that, as long as this human sets me free from this seal, this old man will never make a move against him. The heavens and the earth are the witnesses that, if I violate this oath, my soul shall be annihilated, never to be reincarnated.”
The frog hurriedly shouted, “Old Monster, put me in your oath as well, put me in as well!”
“Hmph, you filthy beast, occasionally, some humans would stumble over this place over these countless years, but you always led these humans away, destroying my hopes of breaking this seal. After this old man comes out, the first thing I do will be to kill you.” A monstrous demon energy immediately fanned out from the seal, forming three giant black hands. They were formed from its source demon energy. After it lost these, God knows how many years it would need to cultivate to recover it.
“Cut.”
Lin Fan cut the hands without a moment of hesitation before his earth energy enveloped and suppressed them within.
“Alright! Now this old man will tell you how to break...” Just as the old monster wanted to tell this human how to break this seal, it noticed the human turn around and leave.
“What are you doing? What the hell are you doing?
“Hurry up and break the seal, let me out!”
“Dumbass!” Lin Fan just threw a word before leaving with the suppressed hands. He never even looked back to take so much as a glance. “Frog, you will continue to refine pills for me!”
“Ahhhh~! Damn you, you dare to break the oath!? You will die a dog’s death, you will die a dog’s death!” the old monster’s heart-piercing cry rang out from the seal, but no one responded to its roar.
The frog was dumbstruck at this moment. It couldn’t understand what was going on exactly.
This human has really broken the oath...?
He will surely die as long as he takes a step out of the Thousand Deep Cave.
