Chapter 11: The Thrill of Gear Drops, the Funeral Parlor of Logistics
"Moreover, it's so smooth and easy to control, like an extension of my arm."
If it weren't for the fact that he was a time-traveler, Lin Fan might have simply said it felt smooth. But as a modern person who had crossed over, he felt that 'smooth' was the most fitting description for this moment.
His hand slowly shifted into different postures, and the Abyssal Demon Flame danced in his palm as if it were performing a graceful dance.
"Amazing!"
"And as I suspected, when sharing the strength of an A-grade or above talented disciple, it's not just their realm that is shared, but also their various skills and abilities."
"What they know, I know, and what they don't know, I also know!"
At this moment, Lin Fan felt an unparalleled sense of exhilaration.
The Abyssal Demon Flame was originally a unique existence, but at this moment, it had directly multiplied and split into two. Xiao Ling'er could use it, and so could he, and he could even use them simultaneously!
His pill concocting skills, which he had previously mastered nine out of ten techniques but struggled with the last one, were now effortlessly accessible. His mind was suddenly filled with memories and experiences of pill concocting, and he could refine pills at any time he wished. He was no less skilled than Xiao Ling'er, who had arduously practiced pill concocting.
"Realm, combat skills, cultivation techniques, combat experience, and even auxiliary skills can all be shared."
"Perhaps the only thing that can't be shared at the moment is external objects?"
"For example, equipment."
Lin Fan quickly analyzed the various details.
Then, he chuckled.
Feeling delighted, he held the Essence Condensation Pill and prepared to take it.
However, the Third Elder, Li Changshou, suddenly popped his head out and said, "Sect Master, I've discovered..."
"Hmm?"
As soon as he spoke, he stared intently at the pill in Lin Fan's hand, his eyes widening in shock. "A Seventh-Rank Essence Condensation Pill?"
"Sect Master, where did you get this pill?!!!"
"Where did you get it?"
"Xiao Ling'er refined it," Lin Fan replied with a smile. "She has an exceptional talent for pill refinement."
"This is more than just exceptional!"
Li Changshou's lips twitched, and he was utterly astonished. "This is already a talent beyond compare! She has just broken through to the Essence Condensation Realm, and she can already refine Seventh-Rank pills. Even a fourth- or fifth-rank pill refinement master would have an extremely low success rate in refining pills of this quality."
"However, if it's a matter of chance and coincidence, it's not impossible to refine a batch like this."
He tried to reassure himself.
Otherwise, it was hard to imagine what kind of monstrous talent could achieve this.
However, Lin Fan spoke in a low voice, "It's not a coincidence."
"Ah?!"
"What do you mean, Sect Master?"
"It means what it says. When she gave me the pill, she looked very relaxed and even told me to share it with my fellow disciples. It doesn't seem like a coincidence at all, and moreover, this jade vessel..."
Lin Fan pointed at the jade vessel and muttered, "There are probably a hundred or so more inside, right?"
"What?!"
Li Changshou shuddered. "A hundred or so Seventh-Rank Essence Condensation Pills? Even if each batch produces nine pills, it's still..."
"Hiss!!!"
He took a deep breath, feeling a chill down his spine.
At this very moment, there were four words stuck in his throat, and he had to say them.
"Terrifying beyond belief!"
But what was even more terrifying was...
How did the Sect Master manage to select Xiao Ling'er from among those ten thousand people?
At that time, she clearly didn't show any signs of her talent, and it was impossible to discern any advantage she might have.
No, it should be said that the Sect Master's strange rules were based on what?
No matter how you looked at it, it seemed extremely chaotic, and there was no discernible basis for the rules. Yet, it was precisely through these rules that the ordinary Xiao Ling'er was chosen.
In the end, the facts proved that Xiao Ling'er's talent was freakishly strong!
It was unimaginable that even during the sect's peak, there had never been such a monstrous disciple, let alone now that the sect had fallen into decline.
If Xiao Ling'er knew how to repay kindness and didn't meet an untimely end, then wouldn't the sect have a real chance to regain its former glory?
At least, as long as Xiao Ling'er is alive, the Moon Grasp Sect's status won't be too low, right?"
Thinking of this, Li Changshou became even more excited, but his gaze towards Lin Fan grew more complex.
At the same time, he couldn't help but think deeper...
"The conditions in the new disciple recruitment rules number in the dozens. Just fulfilling one of them, like Xiao Ling'er's demonic talent, if one were to satisfy multiple conditions, wouldn't they possess an invincible talent, capable of dominating an era?"
"Even if no one can satisfy multiple conditions, as long as we find more people who meet one of the conditions and accept them as disciples, wouldn't the Moon Grasp Sect's status and reputation rise accordingly? It won't take long to achieve 'Great Revival'!"
"Hiss!"
He drew in a cold breath again, and Li Changshou muttered, "Demonic talent, truly demonic talent. If Xiao Ling'er is willing, in the days to come, she can carry our entire sect forward."
"Moreover..."
He looked at Lin Fan again, "Sect Master, you probably have astonishing talent, but we just can't discover it. After all, these consecutive moments of enlightenment and breakthroughs, how could they be ordinary?"
"There's hope!"
"The Moon Grasp Sect has hope!"
Seeing the Third Elder, Li Changshou, becoming more and more excited, and finally muttering incoherently, Lin Fan couldn't help but clear his throat, "Third Elder."
"Third Elder?"
"Why have you come?"
"Ah!!!"
Li Changshou finally reacted, "This old man has lost his composure."
He struggled to compose himself, "Sect Master, our resources are running low."
"Most of it is supplied to Ling'er's side, but other disciples also need some resources. We've been busy outside these days, but it's like a drop in the ocean."
"Spirit herbs, materials, and the like, we can still supply."
"But Essence Stones..."
They originally thought they could handle it themselves, but in the end, they couldn't, and could only report it.
What Xiao Ling'er needs the most right now is not Essence Stones, but various spirit herbs and materials.
Since Xiao Ling'er is only at the Essence Condensation Realm, the materials she needs are not that rare, and the elders are all at the Heaven Pore Realm. So, their efforts outside can still bring back enough for her use.
But the other disciples need Essence Stones.
Although their talents are average, and their value as mascots surpasses their actual abilities, they are still sect disciples, and they can't be ignored.
Even if they were to become outer sect disciples and do odd jobs, the direct disciples, elders, and even the sect master shouldn't have to do it, right?
For example, should the direct disciples become 'Closed-Door Disciples'?
Then who would become 'Open-Door Disciples'?
"Moreover, maintaining the sect's formations also requires Essence Stones."
Lin Fan frowned slightly.
Somewhat decent third-rate sects usually have their own Essence Stone Veins, though small, they can still supply their own needs.
But the Moon Grasp Sect doesn't have one.
They can only slowly accumulate them.
"This is indeed a problem."
Lin Fan's brows furrowed.
Not being in charge, he wasn't fully aware of the sect's specific expenses on Essence Stones.
However, having played too many games, he was too familiar with the tricks involved.
Especially when it came to management, gear drops were a must, but the economy couldn't be neglected, otherwise, it would be like calling for help from heaven and earth without response. Even in a game like Red Alert, one had to build several mines and occupy some oil fields.
Seizing an Essence Stone Vein with the Moon Grasp Sect's current strength was unrealistic.
Robbing and looting was even more out of the question. During the novice period, one couldn't casually stir up trouble, especially not to the point of becoming 'Red-Named'.
They could only start with the resources produced within the sect.
Speaking of resources...
Lin Fan looked at the pill in his palm, which he hadn't swallowed yet, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
