Chapter 214 Striking the jackpot this time
“There seemed to be an increase in my strength.” Lin Fan said, taking a sip of the soup. He felt that he had gotten stronger, and there seemed to be energy spreading through his body, filling him up.
“Interesting.”
Lin Fan did not have much knowledge of inner demons. His understanding of them was just the tip of the iceberg. I should do research on it when I return to the sect.
However, my inner demon appeared when I was in Earth Star Border Stage Eight. I wonder if I will come across them again when I’m in the Earth Star Border Stage Nine. I can’t wait. After having his soup, Lin Fan cleaned the cauldron and pointed to the bottom of the cauldron. Cyan Abyssal Flames burned underneath the cauldron, making the river water boil. Lin Fan went into the cauldron. He felt extremely comfortable as if all the pores on his body had enlarged.
He cultivated while taking a bath.
Morning
Lin Fan woke up from his cultivation. His experience points had now increased by a few hundred thousand. He kept all his items and looked somewhere far away. Dangerous sky valley, I’m coming.
There were many benefits after I broke through to Earth Star Border Stage Eight. I am now able to fly, so it’s even easier to move from one place to another. There’s no need to use my feet and travel at a slow speed like what I used to do.
I’m more like a powerful cultivator now.
After some time, a line could be seen at the far end of the vast sky. The line was actually two mountain ranges, and a huge crack could be seen in the middle of the mountain range. That was a valley.
It was called the Dangerous sky valley. However, Lin Fan’s attention was not his destination, but the huge fleet that was below him. They were heading towards the Dangerous sky valley.
The beasts used to pull the carriages were all Body tempering Stage Eight beats. They might not have intelligence, but after training, they could be used to perform some rough tasks. “What are those?” Lin Fan observed the fleet closely. He learned that the fleet was going to the Dangerous sky valley, and all those guarding the carriages were Sunshine sect disciples. The strongest amongst them had the cultivation of Earth Star Border Stage Eight. If something requires such a powerful cultivator to guard it, then the things the fleet is ferrying must be of great importance.
He concealed his aura and floated in the sky, listening to the conversation coming from the ground.
“Lord Sato, why does the Dangerous sky valley require such a huge amount of resources? Are we going to start a war?” The leading man turned to a silent middle-aged man next to him.
The silent middle-aged man was Lord Sato, a cultivator in the Earth Star Border Stage Eight realm. He was quite strong and was an important figure in the Sunshine Sect.
“Yes. The current situation has changed. It’s time to seize our chance.” Sato Hei answered coldly.
Hearing the answer, changes could be seen on the leading man’s face. The war with the Magnificent Flame Sect was put to a stop due to the intervention of the Saint Convent Sect. However, the Saint Convent Sect was currently busy trying to suppress the rebelling associations around them. They were now too caught up to spare the other sects any attention.
The Sunshine sect was also aware that if they were to fight the Magnificent Flame Sect now and win, the Saint Convent Sect would not realise it until sometime later. By then, everything would be too late.
At the same time, they knew that the Saint Convent Sect would not punish the Sunshine sect if that happened.
They were aware that the Saint Convent Sect needed their help to not just to suppress the Magnificent Flame Sect, but the nearby Oceanus sect and Zhenyang sect too.
The Saint Convent Sect hoped for the sects to suppress each other as they did not wish to have any sect becoming extremely strong all of a sudden and threatening their control over the world.
Before the leading man could say anything else, Sato Hei cut him off. “Don’t ask about things that you’re not supposed to. The more you know, the quicker you’ll die.”
“Yes.” The leading man said, the color draining from his face. He looked down and kept his mouth shut, but excitement was boiling in him.
If the Sunshine Sect fought the Magnificent Flame Sect again, the Sunshine sect would be able to benefit greatly. That was a scene that all Sunshine Sect disciples hoped to see. “So the Sunshine sect is sending resources over. I must find a chance to snatch them.” Lin Fan muttered in excitement. Other than taking from the dead, another way to get rich quickly was to rob.
They might call me evil. But who will enter hell if I don’t?
Very soon, Lin Fan convinced himself with his own reason.
But just before Lin Fan was about to attack, he stopped.
“No, I shouldn’t act rashly. I can’t lose the whole forest for a single tree. The resource may look rich but this shows that the things accumulated at the Dangerous Sky Valley must be worth a lot more. If I can sneak into the valley where they store their resources, I will strike the jackpot.” I might not be smart usually, but my IQ never fails me during important moments. Lin Fan thought.
With their speed, they might only be able to reach the next morning. The beasts look quite tired. They obviously need to rest soon.
Very good, I’ll set off at night. If I fail, I’ll just kill them all.
Lin Fan trailed after the fleet. Soon, night fell.
“We will be taking a three-hour break.” Sato Hei shouted, indicating for everyone to stop and take a break at where they were.
The disciples who were in charge of sending the resources heaved a sigh of relief. They immediately took a break and went to finish up some business they needed to do.
At the same time, the last carriage was moving towards the front.
Seizing his chance, Lin Fan concealed his aura and without a sound, he shot towards the last carriage. He opened up the last box and put all the items inside into his storage ring even without looking at them. He then hid in the box quietly.
Crack!
The sound of the box closing might be small, but it was enough to attract Sato Hei’s attention.
“Lord, what’s wrong?” The leading man asked.
Sato Hei frowned and looked around, alert. But there was nothing to be found. His heart sank. He suddenly had a bad feeling about this. “Let’s not take a break any more and keep moving.” He said, standing up suddenly.
“Lord, the beasts and the disciples are exhausted.” The leading man said anxiously.
“Take a break if you wish to die. If not, carry on with the journey.” Sato Hei said, looking at them coldly. His voice was filled with killing intent.
The leading man gulped and dared not to ask anymore. “Those who wish to survive continue the journey!” He shouted at the disciples.
The leading man sighed helplessly. He’s stronger than me and has a higher status. But we are in Sunshine Sect territory, near the Dangerous sky valley after all. Who would dare to come here and create trouble?
Lying inside the box, Lin Fan could hear the conversation going on outside clearly. So sharp. But you will never guess that I’m already hiding inside the box.
Let’s not care about this now. I’ll take a nap first. At their speed, it might take some time before I reach.
After some time.
Bang!
Lin Fan woke up in shock. He then heard some footsteps moving further away, as well as the door closing.
“I see that we have arrived.”
Lin Fan rubbed his hands happily. Finally, time to collect my jackpot.
He opened up the box.
There was nobody around. All he could see was a room filled with similarly huge boxes.
This is obviously the Dangerous sky valley’s storeroom.
Lin Fan climbed out of the box and opened up a random box filled with pills. He opened up a bottle and took one out. “Not bad. A Human-middle class pill. The wealth in this box is not to be overlooked. I see that the Sunshine Sect has really put in their all for this war.” Lin Fan waved his hands and kept all the pills in the box.
This box must have contained at least a hundred similar pill bottles.
Moreover, I’m in their storeroom, where there’s a huge number of boxes. How rich will I be with all this added up? My wealth will be unimaginable.
He opened up another box filled with pills. They might be of a lower class, but they were still not to be overlooked. How great is it to be able to sustain my Invincible peak with other people’s resources?
“Open up!” Lin Fan laughed loudly, his earth energy filling up the place. He controlled the boxes with his earth energy. Pills floated in the air, and with a wave of Lin Fan’s hand, everything went inside his storage ring.
“So many Yuan crystals.” Seeing a number of boxes filled with Yuan crystals, Lin Fan let out a laugh.
These were rare resources. Even though Yuan crystals couldn’t be used for cultivation, the amount of energy it stores is terrifying. I wonder how much of a mess the Eight-Winged Spiritual Ark made the Sunshine Sect.
The Dangerous sky valley palace.
Sato Hei looked at the surrounding people with respect. “Lords, the resources have been delivered safely. There are a thousand Human-middle class pills, Human-high class pills and mystic-low class pills….”
He reported the number of resources that he had delivered from the Sunshine Sect’s Pill refining hall. A few thousand pharmacologists have been spending countless days and nights making pills and sending them to different fortresses.
“That’s too little.” A middle-aged man said. He stood up and look at Sato Hei sternly. We have a hundred thousand disciples here in the Dangerous sky valley. These pills aren’t enough for cultivation. They will disappear after a few rounds of distribution.”
“Lord, the pharmacologists have been working relentlessly without sleep, but other fortresses require too much, so…” Sato Hei explained immediately. The elder was currently in Heaven Star Border Stage Four.
The other four of them were of the Heaven Star Border Stage three and two too. They were much stronger than Sato Hei. “If those in the sect were willing to spare some of their pills, this would be nothing.” Li Yaohuang said coldly. His aura sent chills down all their spines. This might be the power of a Heaven Star Border.
Suddenly!
The Dangerous sky valley shook.
“Oh no, somebody is robbing our storeroom.” Li Yaohuang’s expression changed and he shot towards the distance in the form of a ray of light.
The others exchanged glances and followed behind closely too.
They understood Li Yaohuang’s words, but they did not know who would be so daring as to rob their resources with them guarding it.
