Chapter 40: Lin Fan's Breakthrough, Cavern Realm Power!
Chapter 40: Lin Fan's Breakthrough, Cavern Realm Power!
"But, it's brilliant!"
"The more trump cards you have, the stronger I'll be after sharing them."
"In this state, whether it's my array formations or my predictive divinations, or even those esoteric techniques, I'll surpass Fan Jianqiang..."
Lin Fan knew he should remain calm, but at this moment, he couldn't help but grin widely.
"After all, with shared cultivation, my abilities will be even stronger, and using these skills will be more powerful."
"But if it really comes down to a one-on-one fight, the one who'll probably lose is me."
"After all, it's all about survival. Until the moment of his death, who knows how many tricks he has up his sleeve?"
However, Lin Fan was well aware that this was only temporary.
After all, all survivors are formidable, and it's inevitable that with a billion hidden tricks, fighting beyond one's realm is standard, or rather, for all protagonists, it's the norm.
Egg series~
I'm not just capable of sharing the power of one person.
Even if I take on more disciples later, there's still Xiao Ling'er!
Before that, Xiao Ling'er might have been held back in her cultivation progress by the 'Grandpa in the Necklace', causing her to only reach the sixth stage of the Essence Condensation Realm.
But as long as she's given time, she can definitely catch up and become a 'Version T0'.
Version T0!
In cultivation terms, it means possessing the strength to dominate one's generation, with the potential to suppress an entire era, and an extremely rare, peerless genius!
Once she develops, she might not be weaker than Fan Jianqiang in a one-on-one fight!
Moreover, there's also myself!
My innate talent might not be exceptional, and I don't have the hot-blooded template of the Flame Emperor, but as long as I share their talents...
After that, I'll share their power~
In the end, my cultivation realm will surely surpass Fan Jianqiang. At that time, under absolute power suppression, those billion hidden tricks might not be as effective as they seem.
The protagonist template is indeed powerful, but it doesn't guarantee absolute invincibility.
In the end, it's just having the strength to dominate one's generation, and as for myself, cough cough.
I'm their senior!
"So, I must survive."
"Currently, the greatest crisis may arrive in as soon as three to five days, or as long as ten days to half a month. It's imminent!"
"Before that, I must cultivate diligently and strive to break through!"
"If I can attain the power of the fourth realm, and if the First Elder successfully breaks through to the fifth realm, there's a great chance we'll overcome this crisis!"
"Moreover, there's also Fan Jianqiang, a survivor. His offer to help with feng shui and geomancy was likely to ensure stability."
"As for Xiao Ling'er...until the critical moment, it's best not to count on her. After all, we're not sure how much the grandpa in her necklace has recovered, perhaps not even a ten-thousandth. Let's not risk her falling asleep again."
Lin Fan calculated with his fingers for a moment and then focused his mind.
Just as he was about to cultivate, Xiao Ling'er came to the door seeking an audience.
"Master."
"Come in."
Lin Fan waved his hand, and the door opened by itself.
"Master."
Xiao Ling'er bowed respectfully and then presented a jade bottle, saying, "This is the Mystic Essence Pill I refined during the Alchemy Competition."
"A ninth-stage pill, I have no use for it now, so I'll leave it to you, Master."
Lin Fan took the bottle, examining it, and said, "If you're being insincere, I won't dwell on it. But this pill is something I desperately need right now, and our Moonseizing Sect is facing a formidable enemy..."
"But this gesture, I'll remember it in my heart, and I won't let you down."
He genuinely wanted it.
But he didn't want to be indecisive, so he took it straightforwardly.
Earning true loyalty with true sincerity, at least for the Flame Emperor, is an infallible strategy.
"Master, your words are too kind. The sect's kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain, and I'm not a heartless person. I'll naturally consider the sect's interests! Moreover, I'm not being arrogant."
Xiao Ling'er was delighted that Lin Fan accepted the pill and smiled, saying, "If I put in my full effort, a ninth-stage pill isn't a difficult task for me.
(End of Chapter)"After we get through this crisis, as long as there are suitable materials, I can easily mass-produce them! Even a Ninth Rank Cavern Heaven Pill is not impossible..."
"You're very thoughtful."
Lin Fan smiled, "I naturally believe in your alchemy talent."
"In the future, our sect's medicinal pills will depend on you. At that time, you must not be annoyed."
"I will never be!" Xiao Ling'er declared, her chest puffed out.
Although Lin Fan's words would bring her many trivial matters, she didn't feel the slightest bit of resentment. Instead, she felt extremely happy and fulfilled.
After a brief chat, Xiao Ling'er left feeling content.
She wasn't afraid of anything else, just that her master might not accept her medicinal pills.
Fortunately, Lin Fan wasn't as 'face-conscious' as the First Elder, which made Xiao Ling'er very happy.
Moreover, she had once again gained her master's approval, and at this moment, she felt extremely motivated.
"..."
"As for me, aside from the 'Grandpa in the Necklace,' there's almost nothing else I've kept from you, is there?"
Watching Xiao Ling'er's departing figure, Lin Fan was quite satisfied.
Xiao Ling'er had just now 'revealed everything'! And this secret would only be shared with someone she deeply trusted.
"It's also a reminder for me. I can share her alchemy techniques, and I can refine these pills too. But without a pill furnace or spirit herbs, it's not possible."
"The only other option is to have a disciple refine them for me. Why would I refine them myself?"
As a sect master, he couldn't possibly do everything himself! He needed to learn to delegate!
At this moment, Lin Fan suddenly remembered a news story from his past life...
A certain young woman had been married for seven years and always believed her husband couldn't cook because he always said so. One day, while cleaning the house, she found a special-grade cooking certificate, and it belonged to her husband!
Cough.
"Scumbag~"
Wait, isn't this like scolding myself?
"The only regret is that their alchemy techniques can't be 'combined.'"
Alchemy techniques are different from cultivation.
Strong is strong, weak is weak.
If someone is two stages stronger than you, they are almost superior in every way.
When the two are merged, the weaker one is almost completely overshadowed, and they cannot be combined.
Therefore, Lin Fan's alchemy techniques, in this lifetime, would likely only be comparable to Xiao Ling'er's and difficult to surpass.
But who knows, maybe one day he'll have a fortuitous encounter.
"..."
"Xiao Ling'er's temperament, character, and affection for the Lanseizing Sect are already beyond concern. But Fan Jianqiang still needs some guidance."
"Wait... after this battle."
Lin Fan was certain that after this, the Lanseizing Sect would face a battle, perhaps even several.
"Consume pills, cultivate!"
"With more strength, there's more chance of success!"
"Moreover, I can hide my cultivation level."
Lin Fan smiled and, without hesitation, consumed the pills and cultivated.
Boom!
An even more astonishing aura spread throughout the cave mansion.
"Fourth Realm, Cavern Heaven, achieved!"
