Chapter 51: Development and Improvement!
Chapter 51: Development and Improvement!
In the latter half of the night, the heavy downpour gradually lessened, and Moonseizing Sect fell into a peaceful slumber.
No one dared to intrude upon the mountain again.
It was unclear whether the previous 'strange' occurrences had made those with ulterior motives feel ominous, or if the appearance of the Liu Family had caused them to abandon their plans.
...
The following day.
Liu Xun once again arrived at the sect with two elders in tow.
Upon meeting Lin Fan, he handed over a bulging storage bag, "The spirit herbs and materials you requested are all inside, along with a communication jade talisman. You can contact me directly through it."
"Whether it's refining high-quality pills, encountering crises, or any other matters, you can reach out to me."
At this moment, Liu Xun was brimming with confidence.
After returning to the Liu Family the previous night, he had learned that the matter was resolved perfectly, and his father had praised him, putting him in a great mood and feeling on top of the world.
But...
There was a small issue.
When he returned last night, his father's words of praise were followed by a couple of criticisms.
As Lin Fan took the storage bag, Liu Xun moved closer and spoke in a low voice, "Lord Lin, now that our two families are no longer strangers, I have a question that I can't seem to understand. Could you possibly help me clear my doubts?"
Lin Fan put away the storage bag and said, "Feel free to ask."
"It's not really a big deal."
Liu Xun smiled, "Last night, on our way here, we saw thunder from the heavens, and it was falling in patches, all striking around the Moonseizing Sect!"
"The most astonishing thing was that it happened to strike right where those lowly foes were located. This is truly an extraordinary occurrence."
"I don't know..."
"Lord Lin, do you know that this might be because our Moonseizing Sect's ancestors are watching over us from the heavens? They must have learned of our sect's predicament and lent a helping hand."
"Or perhaps it's because our sect has good feng shui?"
Liu Xun: "......"
Are you even listening to yourself?
Ancestors? Watching over from the heavens?
If so many ancestors were still watching over the sect, would the Moonseizing Sect be in such a sorry state?
As for feng shui, that's even more absurd!
Only mortals believe in feng shui. We cultivators defy the heavens; who would believe in such things?
However, he understood that asking further would likely yield no satisfactory answers, so after some small talk, they bid farewell and departed.
As he descended the mountain, he still felt something was amiss.
He led the elders to the areas struck by lightning, hoping to find some clues, but he was disappointed.
There were no signs of any issues.
Instead, he spotted Fan Jianqiang alone at the foot of the mountain, seemingly up to something.
Liu Xun's curiosity piqued, and he approached him.
What if...
Lin Fan was just pretending to be ignorant.
Fan Jianqiang looked like an honest fellow, and if he knew something, it would be easy to get it out of him.
A moment later, Liu Xun and the elders left with dark expressions.
Damn it, Fan Jianqiang's explanation was even more outrageous, claiming that it was all due to the sect's good feng shui!
What nonsense!
Even if feng shui had any effect, would good feng shui result in such a pathetic state for the sect? If feng shui were that powerful, and enemies were struck by lightning, the Moonseizing Sect would have become a holy land long ago.
This is outrageous!
And this matter became a 'mystery'.
Many of the struck cultivators investigated the cause, but none could find the problem.
In the end...
They could only give up.
But they secretly made a decision.
From now on, they must not provoke the Moonseizing Sect casually.
Especially on rainy days.
It's easy to get struck by lightning!
...
Lin Fan issued an order, summoning Xiao Ling'er and Fan Jianqiang to his side, and said with a smile, "After this, our Moonseizing Sect should have a few days of peace."
"I plan to distribute these Spirit Herbs equally between the two of you."
"I have no objections, Master." Xiao Ling'er responded immediately.
But Fan Jianqiang jumped in, saying, "I think that's inappropriate, Master!"
"My pill concocting is merely a stroke of luck, and my skills are nothing special. It's so ordinary that I can't bear to look at it."
"Therefore, I believe these Spirit Herbs should all be given to Senior Sister. Only in her hands can these herbs reach their full potential."
"Giving them to me would be a waste."
Xiao Ling'er tried to persuade him.
But Fan Jianqiang insisted repeatedly.
In the end, Xiao Ling'er had no choice but to accept them reluctantly.
She didn't even know if Fan Jianqiang was being considerate or just 'slacking off'.
Watching the two leave, Lin Fan couldn't help but smirk.
"Survival Stream, this kind of cautious person is indeed not easy to win over. It's much harder to raise their affection compared to Xiao Ling'er, but we have plenty of time, so we'll take it slow~"
After that, the Moonseizing Sect entered a period of calm...
Lin Fan had thought that after that wave, they would at least have some peace for a while.
However, that wasn't the case.
After a few days, someone came to stir up trouble again!
Fortunately, Survival Stream was well-prepared, and the elders didn't need to go out. They were all 'tough', so nothing major happened.
At least, it hadn't reached the point where they needed to seek help from the Liu Family.
But this harassment was annoying and relentless.
And sometimes...
Some enemies appeared out of nowhere!
Everyone almost got used to it.
As soon as they heard the clamor outside or someone started shouting, they knew it was time for another fight...
But the benefits were also evident.
With an abundance of Spirit Herbs, Xiao Ling'er could act freely, without worrying about herbs. High-quality Essence Condensation Pills and Mystic Essence Pills became like candy!
Seventh and eighth-grade pills were readily available.
There were even ninth-grade pills, but Lin Fan didn't distribute them, fearing unnecessary trouble.
After all, ninth-grade pills were too rare.
With the Moonseizing Sect's current size, if even the seven lucky mascots consumed ninth-grade pills, it would only lead to more trouble.
Moreover, this was already the result of Xiao Ling'er 'holding back'.
If she went all out, even if they weren't ninth-grade, they would be eighth-grade. There wouldn't be any seventh-grade pills.
And she even created 'Fifth Tier Blood Generating Pills'!
Although there were only two, and they barely reached third-grade, they were still fifth-tier pills, enough to make up for the essence blood loss of Su Xinghai and Wu Xingyun in the rainy night battle.
Cavern Heaven Pills were also concocted...
The highest quality ones reached fifth-grade!
This was only because Xiao Ling'er's cultivation realm was too low; otherwise, the quality would have been even higher.
With the support of these high-quality pills, the elders welcomed the fights.
Want to fight?
Then let's fight! It's just training. Those who can't be defeated will only make me stronger!
In the past, they never backed down, even when they were poor and weak, let alone now that they have logistics support. And in these high-intensity battles, their strength was rapidly increasing.
