Chapter 143: A Special Reward, Xiao Diao's Excitement!
Lin Fan looked around at the crowd, their eyes filled with fear, and spoke calmly:
"This gathering point is meant to be a free zone. If you want to stay, stay. If you don't, then leave. I'm not like those Sacred Light Empire dogs who charge an entrance fee."
The truth was, these people didn't even have much to squeeze out. Even the spare Nirvana Pills Lin Fan had on hand probably surpassed what all of them combined possessed.
There was no need to offend everyone just for a handful of Nirvana Pills.
Even though Lin Fan wasn't afraid of anyone, he also saw no point in pushing everyone into hostility.
"Young Master Lin is truly magnanimous!"
Cheers rang out inside and outside the city walls. The crowd's admiration for Lin Fan now far outweighed their fear.
Lin Dong and the other three had no objections to Lin Fan's decision either.
Soon, the group entered the city and arrived at the central stone tower—originally the cultivation site of Li Sheng. Now that he and the Sacred Light disciples were dead, the place naturally belonged to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan casually checked the spatial pouches of Li Sheng and the others. Altogether, the eight of them had barely over 5,000 Nirvana Pills—a pitiful amount.
The only items of value were Li Sheng's Sacred Light Drum and a white jade elephant sculpture.
Inside the elephant, faint runes rose and condensed into complex characters.
"Mid-tier Creation-level Martial Art: Holy Elephant Heaven-Crushing Charge."
Lin Fan quickly understood the martial technique contained in the sculpture.
With a thought, he extended his spiritual sense to invade the jade elephant, intending to fully comprehend the martial art.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a strange vibration emerged from the jade elephant, followed by a repulsive force.
Lin Fan wasn't surprised. He remembered that the sculpture contained the soul imprint of Sacred Light's senior disciple—Jin Mu.
With a wave of his mind, he unleashed a surge of Devouring Power, which began devouring the hidden spiritual imprint.
Moments later, the imprint vanished.
Buzz!
A beam of light shot out from the jade elephant.
It condensed before Lin Fan, forming a vague figure—Jin Mu, Sacred Light's top disciple.
"I don't know who you are, but judging by Li Sheng's skills—"
Before the illusion could finish, Lin Fan frowned and flicked his finger. A bolt of purple lightning flashed out, shattering the projection instantly.
Annoying.
Jin Mu was only a half-step Nirvana Stage cultivator. Lin Fan didn't see him as a threat at all.
With the spiritual imprint and projection dealt with, Lin Fan delved into studying the Holy Elephant Heaven-Crushing Charge.
Thanks to his heaven-defying comprehension, mastering a mid-tier Creation-level martial art was no challenge. In just moments, he had it perfectly understood.
"Not bad."
He smiled in satisfaction.
After mastering the technique, Lin Fan paid a visit to Lin Dong.
"Brother Lin Fan, what's up?" Lin Dong asked curiously.
"I got this from Sacred Light's Li Sheng. It's a Creation-level martial art. You should study it too."
Lin Fan handed him the jade elephant.
Lin Dong's eyes lit up as he gratefully accepted it.
"Thanks, Brother Lin Fan!"
Even though Lin Dong had already learned Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger and Great Wilderness Heaven-Covering Hand, one could never have too many martial arts.
"We're brothers. No need to thank me. This battlefield is dangerous, and your cultivation is still too low. Do your best to catch up."
Lin Fan patted his shoulder with a smile.
Just then, the system's voice echoed in his mind:
[Ding! You touched Lin Dong and received 5,000,000 Nirvana Pills!]
Nice! That's a lot!
Lin Fan was delighted. The extra Nirvana Pills would go a long way toward his cultivation.
Lin Dong scratched his head, a little embarrassed. "I'll work hard. I'm still far behind you."
Lin Fan laughed. "Back when I was still weak, you helped me a lot. You refined medicine for me with the stone talisman, and you always shared your pills. That was more than enough."
"Besides, once you grow stronger in the battlefield, you can pay me back then."
"Thank you, Brother Lin Fan," Lin Dong said sincerely.
After a pause, Lin Fan handed over a spatial pouch.
"There are one million Nirvana Pills inside. Use them to reach half-step Nirvana Stage, and upgrade the Blood Spirit Puppet while you're at it."
"One million?!"
Lin Dong was stunned, and even Xiao Diao couldn't hide his surprise.
Xiao Diao leapt onto Lin Dong's shoulder and looked at Lin Fan curiously.
"Where did you get so many Nirvana Pills?"
Seizing the chance, Lin Fan grabbed Xiao Diao and knocked him lightly on the head.
"I've got my ways. Don't ask."
Lin Fan wasn't doing this for no reason—he wanted a reward from the system.
And the system did not disappoint:
[Ding! You touched Xiao Diao and received a special spirit treasure: Heavenly Soul Stone.]
Note: While worn, greatly enhances spiritual cultivation speed. Automatically improves spiritual power even without active training.
Now this… this is amazing!
Lin Fan's eyes lit up. Compared to his Yuan Power progress, his spiritual cultivation had been slower. This reward came at the perfect time.
With the Heavenly Soul Stone, his spiritual growth would no longer lag behind.
"Let go of me, you brat!"
Xiao Diao squirmed in Lin Fan's grasp, flushed with embarrassment.
Lin Fan smirked.
"Call me big brother, and I'll let you go."
"In your dreams!" Xiao Diao snapped defiantly.
"Oh? I just remembered a certain pill that could help you regain your physical body... what was it called… oh yes, the Cycle of Life and Death Pill. Maybe if you call me big brother, I'll remember where to find it."
Lin Fan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"You're not lying?!" Xiao Diao's eyes widened, excitement filling his voice.
"Of course not. That pill… yeah, I think it was called the Cycle of Life and Death Pill."
"Big brother! Big brother! Help me find it!"
Xiao Diao abandoned all pride and shouted earnestly.
Lin Fan chuckled. "Since you were so sincere, I'll help you get it."
After being released, Xiao Diao landed back on Lin Dong's shoulder and asked hesitantly,
"Is there really news about the Cycle of Life and Death Pill?"
