Chapter 480: The Spirit Companion by the Side of the Old Man

"Xiao Fan, there's a peasant at the academy gate looking for you." A voice with a teasing and sarcastic tone called out, drawing many curious glances.

Xiao Fan did not show much emotion and paid no heed to the other party's mockery.

"I know," he said and got up to leave. His mind was racing, trying to figure out who would be looking for him.

Although the other party used derogatory terms to describe the person, it was clear that the person was a commoner.

To Xiao Fan, commoners and noble families were not much different. Despite his identity as a noble family member, he had never enjoyed the privileges that came with it.

Arriving at the academy gate, he saw a middle-aged man who looked somewhat travel-worn, dressed plainly, and carrying a bundle.

"Are you looking for me?" He didn't need to look to know it was this person.

"Are you Xiao Fan?" the other party asked.

"Yes, it's me. Is there something you need? Don't worry about mistaking me; everyone in the academy knows me," Xiao Fan said calmly.

The other party nodded: "Lord Wang asked me to deliver some local specialties to you."

Saying this, he pushed the bundle over to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan looked at the bundle, a bit puzzled. Who was Lord Wang? But he quickly captured the three key words "local specialties": "Is it Wang Mu?"

"Yes, it's Lord Wang. Since you've received the items, I'll go back now." The middle-aged man hurriedly left, as he needed to report back.

"Truly, didn't expect Wang Mu to still remember me."

What he thought was just a polite remark, but didn't expect the other party to take it seriously.

‘People are truly incomparable. Your siblings and classmates are not even as good as a commoner whom you only met once in the countryside.’ An aged voice resounded in Xiao Fan's mind.

‘Dan Lao, worldly matters are often unpredictable. If there's a chance in the future, refine a Qi Ling Pill for Brother Wang. He is a sincere person.’ Xiao Fan muttered to himself.

The other party had no idea his spirit companion had already advanced to the Soldier Rank, and even the entire academy didn't know about it.

Thus, Xiao Fan could confirm that the other party genuinely believed he was a friend and not just paying lip Service.

Carrying the bundle back to his residence, he had long moved out of the academy dormitory. After all, he had a spirit companion and needed to refine pills, so it was unsuitable to stay in the dormitory.

Opening the bundle, inside were some dried meat, dried fruits, and other ordinary snacks. But soon he found a book and a letter at the bottom.

"Qian Xin Jue? Where did Brother Wang get this cultivation technique?" Xiao Fan was a bit puzzled, then opened the letter to read it.

"Can increase the potential of a spirit companion. Such a precious item, simply given, is simply..."

After reading the letter, Xiao Fan was somewhat stunned. To be honest, the two of them could only be considered passing acquaintances, with no real connection. Sending snacks was already quite nice, but he didn't expect such a grand gift.

‘Are you sure you two only met once and aren't close friends? This Qian Xin Jue, though crude, is not wrong. I thought you would need to wait until your strength advanced further to obtain such an opportunity, but didn't expect such a grand gift.’ Dan Lao transmitted his voice.

Dan Lao, Xiao Fan's spirit companion, named Dan Qing Tian, was initially just a non-rank spirit companion. But when Xiao Fan formally used the cultivation technique, he transmitted a pill named Qi Ling Pill. Collecting the materials and configuring it was not difficult.

This Qi Ling Pill's effect was simple: to restore the intelligence of a non-rank spirit companion.

Dan Qing Tian, historically unnamed, but his abilities were not to be underestimated. Not only was his medical skills extremely proficient, but he was also adept at using poison and martial arts.

After all, not everyone could leave a name in history. If unable to leave a name, one would become a non-rank or Soldier Rank spirit Companion, and thus, rise from the grass roots. "Such a good person~" Xiao Fan couldn't help but sigh.

‘Just this cultivation Technique is not easy to practice. For a commoner, it might take three to five years to even get started. To make a non-rank spirit companion a Soldier Rank, it's much easier with my resources to assist you. Without them, it's difficult, difficult, difficult.’

Xiao Fan fell silent. He was indeed poor.

Dan Qing Tian had a large number of medicinal diets, pills, and formulas. Taking them in large quantities could rapidly increase strength and even have various miraculous effects, such as enhancing the potential of a spirit companion. Unfortunately, the materials were too precious.

"Should I cultivate or not?" Xiao Fan asked somewhat hesitantly, knowing that enhancing the potential of a spirit companion was a very tempting proposition.

After all, he knew how important the potential of a spirit companion truly was.

"Cultivate! I previously didn't just transmit some medicinal pills to you; after refining them, you can sell them for several times the profit. Then, when combined with medicinal diets for cultivation, you could enhance my potential from a Soldier Rank to a General Rank in just about a month!" Dan Qing Tian said with a firm and powerful voice.

Why not cultivate?

Now, this is the most suitable and convenient way to enhance potential. If not, following the original plan to seek the Inheritance and advance in cultivation techniques, Xiao Fan would need sufficient strength and would have to risk his life. There, at least, he would need to be at the Second Rank.

However, for a Soldier Rank spirit companion, breaking through from the First Rank to the Second Rank would have a bottleneck, and the consumption would not be as little as enhancing potential through this cultivation technique, Qian Xin Jue.

"Alright, then I will cultivate!" Xiao Fan naturally listened to Dan Qing Tian. After all, the other party was a great existence before becoming a spirit companion, even if obscure, he was still an Eighth Rank Spirit Summoner.

A Spirit Summoner might start with a non-rank spirit companion, but as he gradually became stronger, he would naturally develop his own strength, just like Dan Qing Tian, who was proficient in both medicine and martial arts.

It's fortunate that being awakened as a spirit companion would make one extremely loyal to a Spirit Summoner. Otherwise, these old monsters returning to the human world could cause great calamities.

'I suspect this person might be a calamity bearer of this era.' Suddenly, Dan Qing Tian said.

"Calamity bearer? What calamity of the world?" Xiao Fan was a bit puzzled, he didn't quite understand what Dan Qing Tian meant.

'Every sixty years, a spiritual calamity will be induced. I once encountered a spiritual calamity, and failing to transcend, I ended up dying and becoming what I am now. Counting the time, this sixty-year spiritual calamity seems to be approaching, and many high-level beings are aware of this.'

'As for this spiritual calamity, I don’t know much. All related memories seem to have been erased, as if it was the price of becoming a spirit companion.'

Dan Qing Tian's voice carried a tinge of regret.

"So, Wang Mu's birth was to deal with this spiritual calamity?" Xiao Fan immediately understood.

'That's right. Only a calamity bearer can eliminate the calamity, and the corresponding person would have various heavenly opportunities. This Qian Xin Jue is proof. Although this technique is crude, it’s not something just anyone can obtain, whether in this era or my era. Yet, he could find it in a remote village, does this not prove his fate?'

Listening to Dan Qing Tian, Xiao Fan couldn't help but draw in a cold breath. This was indeed the case, otherwise, how could such an opportunity exist in a remote and desolate place?

Just this Qian Xin Jue alone was enough to let a non-rank potential spirit companion defy fate, let alone other things.

'This is just my guess. If Brother Wang rises quickly, it can be further confirmed.' Dan Qing Tian was insightful, having once witnessed the calamity bearer of his era, whose rapid rise left people in awe, and whose formidable strength could suppress an entire generation of people.

It was precisely so that the calamity could be eliminated, and everything could continue.

As for the source of the spiritual calamity, Dan Qing Tian did not know. He was not one of those prominent figures of his era. In his era, he was a humble practitioner, though he had talent, no one knew. Had he not been entangled by the spiritual calamity and died, he might have become a great being.

Unfortunately, he not only did not become a great being but also met his end halfway, leading to his current non-rank status as a spirit companion, which sufficiently demonstrated his low profile.

"I understand. Even if Brother Wang is a calamity bearer, it has nothing to do with me. If I want to survive the calamity, I must become strong. Truly, relying on others is merely being beneath them." Xiao Fan had never thought of relying on others, he had his pride.

Now that he knew the great calamity was coming, he definitely had to cultivate seriously and become stronger as soon as possible. Otherwise, he couldn't even guarantee his own life, let alone talk about other things.
