Chapter 378: True Fellow Villager, Love Orgy! Bodhi Jewel Forest (Part 1)

August 5, 2024

When the other party revealed his identity as a time-traveler, Lin Fan was not surprised.

In fact, ever since Lin Fan mentioned keywords like 'Manwhore', 'Love Orgy', and 'Baller', the probing had already begun.

And at this moment, the results of the probing were revealed.

It was clear that the other party was also a time-traveler.

Knowing that Lin Fan was testing him, he also directly revealed his identity.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

He stared at Lin Fan, grunting.

"If you have nothing to say, then just leave. Considering we're both from the same hometown, as long as you don't cause any trouble, I won't make things difficult for you."

"How about we part ways amicably and not disturb each other?"

This young man was extremely cautious of Lin Fan.

After all...

As fellow time-travelers, neither knew what kind of special advantages the other possessed, nor their character.

Although time-travelers usually had a bit of the 'main character's halo' and their character wasn't usually too bad, one shouldn't forget that there were also many protagonists from the demonic path!

There were even existences like Tang Divine King!

Under the premise of not knowing each other well, it was naturally better to be cautious. Going home and finding their respective mothers was not a problem.

"Hey, don't be so hasty."

Lin Fan pulled over a chair and sat down, "After all, we're from the same hometown, and it seems we're even 'true fellow villagers'. Even though I don't like your kind, manwhore."

"But chatting shouldn't be a problem."

"What do you think?"

"..."

The other party's face darkened, "I admit that ordinary people have prejudices against us manwhores. You calling me a manwhore is fine, but could you please not add the word 'dead' every time?"

"Hmm."

"Sorry, it's just a habit."

Lin Fan smiled awkwardly, "I can't help it. When you were so close to me just now, cough, forgive my bluntness, but I was truly disgusted."

"So~"

"Alright."

"Manwhore, what's your name?"

"Let me introduce myself first. I'm called Tang Wu." Lin Fan's face didn't turn red, nor did he pant as he 'introduced himself'.

"What?!"

The manwhore instantly flipped over, his face filled with shock, "Tang Wu?"

"Is there a problem?"

Lin Fan didn't find it strange.

After all, Tang Wu's reputation was not small, and his infamy and clownishness were also part of his fame!

But this manwhore's face changed dramatically, and he cursed, "Is there a problem?"

"It's a huge problem!"

"I may be a junior of the Xiao family, but I would never be a junior of the Tang family!"

"Get out of here, get out, get out!"

"You're not welcome here."

"If you don't leave now, I'll have to take action against you!"

Lin Fan said, "..."

"Hahaha."

"I was just joking."

Lin Fan spread his hands, "But there are some things I can't tell you."

"Go ahead, what's your name?"

"Liu Jianmin."

He still had a face full of caution and disdain, "Can I ask you to leave immediately? I truly don't want to have anything to do with you."

"Not even a tiny bit!"

Naturally, he wouldn't believe Lin Fan's words.

After all, this was their first meeting, and the experience wasn't particularly pleasant.

To make matters worse, Lin Fan claimed to be from the Tang family.

With these factors combined, it would be strange if Liu Jianmin didn't look at Lin Fan with disdain.

"I understand your thoughts and concerns."

"The Tang surname is indeed..."

Lin Fan sighed, "Speaking of it, what a great surname. Who doesn't praise the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty? But because of that one bad apple, it's truly a shame."

"What?!"

Liu Jianmin suddenly took several steps back.

"What did you just say?"

"It's a shame, right?" Lin Fan spread his hands, "Should I say that you've already found your way to death?"

"Damn!"

Liu Jianmin's face turned pale.

"You..."

"Get out, get out, get out! I don't want to see you here at all. The further you go, the better. In the future, just forget about me as if you've never met me."

"I'm truly speechless at you, the sixth junior. Aren't you that dog thing?"

"..."

Lin Fan blinked, "I love my body, and I'm in a hurry, but don't rush me. Now, I can't explain things clearly to you. After all, I am indeed 'that dog thing' at the moment, so... it's understandable that you're so guarded and disdainful of me."

"I won't force you to have a good impression of me."

"But..."

"Let's not talk about feelings. How about we make a deal?"

"What kind of deal?"

Liu Jianmin's face was filled with caution, "I can tell you, don't even think about tricking me."

"I may be a manwhore, but don't I also have a heart that longs to roam the world with a sword? I've read quite a few male-oriented novels."

"If you want to trick me, Tang Divine King's intelligence is far from enough!"

"..."

"Who wants to trick you?"

Lin Fan felt a bit helpless.

This was the downside of encountering a 'true fellow villager'.

Tang Divine King's infamy was well-known in the novel-reading community.

His reputation was as bad as it could get.

When it came to cooperation, people's first reaction was that he had ill intentions and wanted to take advantage of them.

It would be strange if he didn't give them a hard time.

Even giving him a chance to explain himself was already giving him face.

"It's just a simple deal, cash on delivery."

"To prevent you from worrying and overthinking, I'll be straightforward."

Lin Fan sighed, "You've been in the Western Regions for some time, and you've hosted many guests without hair. You must have some understanding of their identities and backgrounds, right?"

"So, I want to exchange some intelligence related to the Buddhist Sect from you."

"Of course, it would be best if I could buy an 'inside man'."

"As for you..."

"You can choose to have me use pills, magical treasures, cultivation arts, secret techniques, or even exchange with intelligence as well."

"Is this not a standard routine?"

After a brief moment of contemplation, Liu Jianmin nodded. "If it’s just a transaction, that’s fine."

"But you have to swear a Heaven's Path Vow that you won’t betray me!"

"And you can’t leak my information afterward, causing me to be targeted by the Buddhist Sect!"

"Agreed."

Lin Fan nodded.

He didn’t even ask Liu Jianmin to swear a Heaven's Path Vow, after all... he wasn’t really afraid of his information being leaked. As long as it didn’t happen too quickly, it wouldn’t be a problem.

Moreover, if it didn’t come to light by a certain time, Lin Fan would even expose it himself.

After all, exposure was part of the plan—

the final part.

"Alright, I’ll make the deal with you."

"I need pills."

Liu Jianmin immediately grumbled, "Those damned bald monks have everything except for pills. I heard they were all taken by powerful temples."

"I don’t have many either."

"Pills? Coincidentally, I have a lot of them."

Lin Fan smiled.

Before coming here, he had taken the time to refine some pills.

He didn’t use Unusual Flame, so there was no trace of it, and the quality was just above average, which would definitely not make people suspect that the three great alchemists of the Moon Embrace Sect were involved.

After all... he had to be cautious!

"Alright."

"Tell me what you want to know, and I’ll quote a price."

"If you agree, we’ll swear a Heaven's Path Vow, and then we’ll make the transaction."

"If you don’t agree, pretend we never met, and leave immediately."

Hearing about the pills, Liu Jianmin’s mood improved significantly.

"Between the Great Vehicle Buddhism and Little Western Heaven, there is a Bodhi Jewel Forest. You know about it, right?" Lin Fan gradually got to the point.

"Of course."

Liu Jianmin nodded, "The Bodhi Jewel Forest is actually a forest of Bodhi Jewel Trees, which have been cultivated for many years and have grown into a lush forest."

"Inside, it’s all Bodhi Jewel Trees."

"It’s the core and foundation of the entire Buddhist Sect!"

"Every monk desires to have Bodhi Fruits to aid their cultivation, even the most ordinary and less pure varieties are highly sought after."

"Because the Bodhi Jewel Forest is so important, all the major Buddhist Sects and temples have been closely guarding it."

"Do you want to sneak in?"

"It’s impossible."

"I advise you to give up on that idea."

Lin Fan said calmly, "How will you know if you don’t try?"

"Here’s the deal, sell me all the information you have about the Bodhi Jewel Forest, and you can set the price."

"If you can help me get an inside person, the price will be ten times higher."

"I believe, with your Love Orgy skills, it shouldn’t be difficult to make someone willing to be sold and come back for more."

"You’re truly bold, daring to even think about the Bodhi Jewel Forest!"

Liu Jianmin looked deeply at Lin Fan, his face, which could bring a nation to ruin, showed a thoughtful expression, "I do have some relevant information."

"But the price is very high."

"After all, it’s one of the most important places in the entire Buddhist Sect."

"Moreover, if you go there, it’s very easy to implicate me."

"

"So, you will inevitably fail."

"If you fail and get killed, it doesn’t matter much, but if you get captured, the Buddhist Sect has methods to extract your entire life story, even if you remain tight-lipped."

"In that case, I will also be exposed."

"So, my risk is very high."

"You have a point," Lin Fan nodded, "Name your price."

"Alright!"

After a brief moment of thought, Liu Jianmin raised a finger.

"..."

Lin Fan’s eyebrows raised.

A hundred bottles?

It’s indeed not cheap, but it’s not too expensive either.

"A hundred?"

He asked.

"Yes!"

Liu Jianmin nodded, "Don’t rush to refuse."

"A hundred pills of the Fourth Grade or higher suitable for my cultivation level is already the lowest price. After all, you must know, I’m taking a very high risk, a particularly high one."

"

Lin Fan: "!!!"

"Uh..."

He sighed, somewhat reluctantly, "Alright, I agree."

Liu Jianmin is at the Seventh Great Harmony Stage.

In other words, a hundred Fourth Grade or higher Great Harmony Pills.

"..."

How fresh!

I thought you’d ask for a hundred bottles, but it turns out to be a hundred pills?

How many pills are in a bottle?

By the standards of the Moon Embrace Sect’s Alchemy Pavilion, even the smallest bottle can hold ninety-nine pills.

In other words, Lin Fan was already prepared to give ten thousand Great Harmony Pills.

Even of the Fifth and Sixth Grades.

But... Fourth Grade, a hundred pills!

At this moment, Lin Fan even had the urge to say: Are you looking down on someone?

A hundred pills, and you have the nerve to ask?

I thought you’d ask for an exorbitant price, and I was mentally prepared to bleed, but your price is more like a kitten’s.

A kitten that’s still a kitten!

What makes you so cautious that even an exorbitant price becomes timid?

"..."

"Let me tell you, brother."

Lin Fan sighed, "Your life is tough."

"Isn’t it?" Liu Jianmin nodded in agreement, "It’s really tough, but fortunately, I have a special skill... Wait a minute, why am I telling you this?"

"Just say if you’re buying or not?!"

"Buying!"

Lin Fan nodded, "Do you have an inside person? If you do, add pills, ten times the amount!"

"???!"

Liu Jianmin was surprised, "You... Do you have that many pills?"

"Wait!"

"I know, you're surnamed Tang."

"After all, you're the most skilled at sneaky tricks, so it's normal for you to have so many pills."

Lin Fan: "…"

Damn, endure!

Now I am Tang Wu. Getting scolded and mocked is expected, expected…

After reciting the Ice Heart Sutra dozens of times, Lin Fan finally calmed down and said, "Just tell me if you have it or not."

"…"

"Yes!"

Liu Jianmin nodded, "With so many pills, it’s worth the risk for me."

"I don’t care where you got those pills from. I traded for them fairly, not by stealing or sneaking around. If anyone has to face trouble, it’s you."

He immediately agreed to the deal.

"Good!"

Lin Fan didn’t hesitate and immediately made a Heaven's Path Vow.

Seeing this, Liu Jianmin smiled.

The transaction was then completed.

"I’ll give you the information first. As for the insider, it will take some time. After all, I didn’t have any plans for the Bodhi Jewel Forest, so I didn’t specifically look for an insider."

"But there’s a bald customer who comes about every half month. Once, he was so pleased that he muttered something about being a monk who delivers supplies to the guards inside the Bodhi Jewel Forest."

"When he comes next time, I’ll use some tricks on him."

"Definitely, I can help you a bit."

"But I can’t guarantee how much help or how effective it will be."

"You can’t go back on your word."

"Good!"

Lin Fan smiled and agreed, then took out a jade bottle.

"Here."

"…"

Liu Jianmin picked up the jade bottle, looking suspicious, "Can this small jade bottle really hold a thousand pills? Does it have a spatial array inside?"

"No."

Lin Fan shook his head, "It can only hold a hundred."

"But you can open it and see for yourself."

Liu Jianmin, still doubtful, opened the jade bottle and probed it with his divine sense. Then…

He was instantly stunned.

"Six… All six-grade?!"

"You… Did you take the wrong ones?"

"Um, all are six-grade," Lin Fan smiled, "But I didn’t take the wrong ones."

"One six-grade Confluence Pill is more than enough to exchange for ten four-grade pills, right?"

"The extra ones are a gift for you."

"After all, we are fellow townspeople."

"As the saying goes, when fellow townspeople meet, tears stream down their faces. Seeing you living so poorly, I can’t bear it."

"!!!"

"Not that I’m living poorly. What I meant earlier was…"

Liu Jianmin was about to retort.

But Lin Fan said, "I thought you wanted a hundred bottles, and I had already prepared them. But you only wanted a hundred pills…"

"Clearly, fellow townsman, you are really living poorly!"

"Otherwise, why would you even consider these pills?"

"Ah!"

"Truly…"

"Forget it, forget it. If you have the chance, come and join me. To be honest, where I’m from, no one even eats this stuff."

"???!"

"Why?"

"The quality is too low."

Liu Jianmin: "?!?"

"Fck!"

"I rarely eat four-grade pills, and you tell me that six-grade pills are too low in quality and no one eats them?"

"Are you going to die without boasting?"

"Do you think I believe you?"

"You, a Tang, are already known for your character."

"I think you’re just saying this on purpose to shake my resolve, to make me feel like I’m being cheated!"

"You said you couldn’t afford the transaction, so don’t play games. The transaction is already done, and now you’re just messing with my mind, damn it!"

"…"

Lin Fan picked his nose, "Yeah, yeah, you’re right."

"So what if I did it on purpose?"

"You fcking son of a bch!"

"You’re still being sarcastic here!"

Liu Jianmin gritted his teeth.

Lin Fan, however, smiled brightly.

To be honest, if we ignore the fact that Liu Jianmin is a manwhore…

No, as long as this manwhore doesn’t get too close, as a true fellow townsman, chatting with him is quite relaxing.

"Go, go, go, find a room to look at your information!"

"I’ll let you know when that guy comes!"

"Don’t stay here and be a bother, it’s really annoying."

Liu Jianmin couldn’t hold back and wanted Lin Fan to leave quickly.

But Lin Fan’s eyes twinkled, "Wait, I mean, you’re living so hard, don’t you want to change that?"

"How can I change it?"

"How about you give me a hundred bottles of six-grade Confluence Pills?"

"Boasting, huh? I don’t believe you can really do it." Liu Jianmin rolled his eyes wildly.

Lin Fan laughed, "Ha ha ha, don’t try to provoke me."

"My point is, don’t you want to learn some Invincibility Arts or Invincibility Techniques to become stronger?"

"The stronger you are, the better you can survive, right?"

"Besides, once you have enough strength, won’t your life be much better? It’s impossible for you to still live so poorly!"

"Cut it out!"

Liu Jianmin’s attitude was very firm as he played with his ‘manicure’. "What Invincibility Arts or Techniques? They are extremely difficult to learn, and even after learning, you’re not truly invincible."

"You can only be invincible among peers."

"Those Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, do they not have Invincibility Arts and Techniques? Didn’t they still end up meowing like cats at the Moon Embrace Sect?"

"… You’re wrong. Isn’t it possible that the Moon Embrace Sect’s direct lineage also has Invincibility Techniques, and they are of even higher quality?"

"So what? Can everyone learn them?"

"Do I have the chance to learn them? Even if I can learn and master them, will I definitely be that strong?"

"Stop bullshtting!"

Liu Jianmin almost never stopped rolling his eyes. "Even as a fellow townsman, don’t you know that teaching should be tailored to the individual? There are no strongest techniques, only the most suitable ones!"

"For me, what could be better than my Life-bound Divinity?"

"Once I use the Love Orgy technique, I’m not exaggerating, even a Holy Sovereign can’t resist me!"

"As long as I touch them, I can make them scream in pleasure!"

He was full of confidence, as if he were invincible.
