The surrounding disciples might be giving him weird looks, but they didn’t bother Lin Fan a bit. ~Compared to earning points, these looks are worthless.~
“Master, the most pressing matter now is to send these children back home.~
Tian Xu wanted to suppress the Divine Religion to regain his image in his disciple’s heart.
But unfortunately, he was cut off by his disciple.
“Yes.” Tian Xu nodded. “They need to be sent back. There are many reports on missing children around these days. Now I see that it’s because of the Divine’s Religion.”
To deal with their external threats, they must first cure their disease.
Many powerful sects currently had their eyes on the Magnificent Flame Sect. They might not be obvious, but it wasn’t hard to infer.
The Divine Religion was a severe hidden danger in the Magnificent Flame Sect. They were detrimental to the Magnificent Flame Sect’s development. Thus it was necessary to suppress or even remove them if possible.
If eliminating them was impossible, they should suppress them and weaken them where possible.
~Now it seemed like a good move to leave the Big Monster Master in the Sunshine Sect.~
~ I’ll let him do his research and carry out his experiments. If the Sunshine Sect decides to declare war one day, we shall see who concedes defeat.~
Just then, Lin Fan looked around. “These kids were kidnapped by the Divine Religion. Now, which Junior brother is willing to escort them home?”
As soon as he finished his words, there was a commotion in the crowd.
“I’m willing to do so.”
Just then, many disciples volunteered. All of them were even in the Earth Star Border realm.
Some Body tempering disciples were willing to help out too. However, they were too embarrassed to volunteer as they were too weak.
“Senior brother, we are willing. But with our cultivation, we are afraid that we won’t be able to protect the children well.”
Lin Fan nodded happily. He hoped that the sect members would be united, but they would also have fair and healthy competition. Without it, they would not improve.
If the sect was at peace and always willing to lend a helping hand, it was not a good thing for the sect. It would just result in a slow, chronic death for the sect.
Especially when the sect was in such a mess.
Very good. Those of weaker cultivation, don’t fret. Cultivate harder and train well. You will become powerful one day. Take these Human-class pills back to cultivate.” Lin Fan raised his hands, and a bunch of pills shot out from his storage ring, landing in the hands of the Body tempering realm disciples who volunteered.
There was a strong fragrant herbal smell.
Each disciple received ten pills total: Three human-high class pills, two human-middle class pills, and five human-low class pills.
All the Body Tempering realm disciples were thrilled to see this. Their eyes widened and even turned bloodshot. To them, the pills were an incredible amount of wealth.
They did not even know how hard they would need to work to earn such wealth themselves. Of all the pills, the Human-high class pills were the most valuable.
In the Magnificent Flame Sect, a Human-low class pill would cost a few thousand YHB. Not only so, but the disciples could also tell that the pills were good quality as well.
Tian Xu nodded. He was very pleased with his disciple.
Since Lin Fan was no longer just an ordinary disciple, he was a peak leader. He would not just need powerful cultivation but also the support of the general disciples.
Lin Fan had spent about ten thousand pills on the various disciples in no time. It was a huge sum and showed that he had encountered a great opportunity.
~Great. Great. He’s indeed mine, Tian Xu’s disciple.~
Just then, Lin Fan raised his finger. “Junior brothers in the Earth Star Border realm need pills too. Cultivate hard with these.”
Instantly, another bunch of pills shot out of his storage ring.
The herbal scent this time around was even stronger than the last time. The herbal fragrance could be smelt everywhere.
When the Earth Star Border disciples saw the five mystic class pills in their hands, they were all dumbfounded.
All of them were either mystic-middle or mystic-high class pills.
Having such a vast number of disciples present, Lin Fan would have given away at least ten thousand pills.
Shocking!
All of them were deeply shocked. They couldn’t imagine how rich Lin Fan was to afford this.
“Thank you, Senior Brother, for bestowing us this gift.” The disciples said happily. They would hug Lin Fan’s leg if they could.
To them, it was an incredibly massive amount of wealth.
They were aware that the Magnificent Flame Sect was impoverished compared to some other sects. Thus, they could not receive free pills monthly to cultivate with, unlike some other sects.
At the Magnificent Flame Sect, disciples needed to depend on their own efforts to exchange for pills.
Tian Xu was initially unbothered. But seeing the number of pills his disciples took out, he was dumbfounded too.
The pills might not be useful for him, but it was still a huge sum of money.
“Disciple, just what did you experience?” Tian Xu asked in disbelief.
“Nothing much. Just some small incidents.” Lin Fan smiled thinly.
~These pills are nothing. I have some more in my storage ring. This is all from robbing the Dangerous sky valley’s resources.~
~They stored enough pills that are for a hundred thousand disciples.~
~The amount of pills I gave out today is just a small amount.~
~But I feel like there’s something I should do for the sect.~
“Junior brothers, calm down. Things will get even better in the future. I want to announce that I will be holding a competition in a month. It will be within your class, with inner and outer disciples separated.”
“For the inner disciples, the top five hundred disciples will all be given a prize. Ten bottles of mystic-high class pills for the top three, five bottles for the top ten, three bottles for the top twenty, and one bottle for the top fifty. The rest of the prizes will be announced later.”
“The consolation prizes for inner disciples will not be limited by number. The prizes will be announced later on too.”
“This is the same for the outer disciples too. But the prize given will be human class pills. I hope to see all of you participating. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose. All that matters is that you take part. You will receive a consolation prize even if you are last.”
As soon as Lin Fan finished his words.
The disciples in the main palace were shocked.
They did not expect to hear this from Senior brother Lin. There had been competitions in the sect previously. Still, compared to the prize that Lin Fan was giving out, those competitions were nothing.
Moreover, the disciples who came in the first five hundred places would be rewarded so heavily. This shows that everyone would have a chance to win pills.
Lin Fan lacked everything except for Human and Mystic class pills now. These were pills that could easily be found. As for Earth-class pills, they were too precious as even Heaven Star Border cultivators needed them to cultivate too.
For cultivators under the Heaven Star Border realm, mystic and human class pills were enough to help them cultivate.
It might not seem significant to other major sects. Still, it was a massive prize to the Magnificent Flame Sect disciples. They were on cloud nine to hear about this competition.
“Alright, send the children back first, junior brothers. Come back soon, the competition will happen a month later. Don’t miss it.” Lin Fan waved his hand.
“Yes, Senior Brother.” The disciples shouted, and each went forward to a child, asking for the city they came from and planning how to send them home.
On the other hand, Lin Fan was currently in a good mood. ~It feels so great to be a Nouveau riche. You will never know how it feels unless you experience it yourself.~
“Tie Lang, are you willing to cultivate under me by joining the Invincible peak?” Lin Fan turned to the lonely child.”
“Yes, thank you, Lord.” Tie Lang said, kneeling.
“Since you’re now a disciple of the Magnificent Flame Sect, just call me senior brother from now.” Lin Fan said. ~ Such a poor thing, but he’s lucky to meet me. I’ll bring him into the sect and help him cultivate. He will become a talent in the future.”
“Yes, Senior Brother.”
Amongst the crowd, two figures were standing separately. But both of them faced the same direction.
Grabbing the ten pills in his hands, Wang Fu looked at Lin Fan respectfully. “So this is Senior brother Lin, the peak leader of the Invincible peak. He’s truly generous and friendly to his peers. I will work hard to become somebody like Senior brother Lin in the future. He’s my role model from now on.”
He believed that he would as he was unlike any ordinary disciple. He would reach the stars, and the world would be under his feet one day.
The other person was hidden amongst the disciples. She had a good figure, and from behind, she looked like a goddess. But all imaginations would be shattered when one looked at her face.
The surrounding disciples whispered about her.
“Look, that’s Mu Ling. She’s getting scarier as time passes. The flame-like birthmark only covered the left side of her face initially, but it now covers her whole face.”
“Yeah, I wonder what’s wrong with her. From what I see, she had nice body and facial features. But….. such a pity.”
“Why? Do you fancy her?”
“What the hell, you are the one who fancies her instead. Don’t you think the way she looks at Senior brother Lin is different?”
“She must be dreaming. Senior brother Lin is the peak leader of the invincible peak, and there’s a high chance that he will be the next Patriarch. If the other sects were to visit as guests, we’d be a joke if she’s his wife.”
“That’s true.”
Mu Ling stood there calmly. She realized she had sensitive ears, and she heard what those around her said. She didn’t get mad at all but remained perfectly calm.
She looked at the ten pills in her hand, her lips quivering.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Lin.”
Lin Fan walked towards the Invincible peak, with Tie Lang following behind.
Tian Xu took a glance at his disciple. “Disciple, aren’t you promising too much? Your Master does not have so many pills with him.”
“Master, you’re looking down on me.” Lin Fan laughed. He would not believe this was real if he didn’t look at his storage ring either.
“Master is not looking down on you. But how is this possible?” Tian Xu voiced his opinion.
Lin Fan shook his head. “Master, I will let you experience something you’ve never had. But you have to promise to not touch, and only look at it.”
The entrance of the Invincible peak’s main palace.
Lin Fan, Tian Xu, Lu Qiming, and the rest were waited by the door. Other than Lin Fan, all of them were dumbstruck.
Lin Fan reached out a hand and stepped inside. He bowed slightly and welcomed Tian Xu in. “Master, this is prepared to you by your disciple. Enjoy.”
The spacious main palace was filled with pills.
Tian Xu stood at the door. No matter how powerful he was, it was hard for him to accept this.
“My disciple, what have you done?” Tian Xu gulped. He stammered slightly. The number of pills there was unbelievable.
“Nothing. I only took the Sunshine Sect’s Dangerous sky valley’s resources.” Lin Fan said softly.
“You mean, stole?” Tian Xu said, shocked.
“Master, people of my generation use the word take instead of steal.” Lin Fan shook his head.
After some time, Tian Xu exited the main palace, feeling great. “My disciple, I have never seen something like this in my life. The feeling of drowning in pills is really…” He gasped.
“Master, be at ease. Your disciple will give you a large amount of Heaven class pill for you as well.” Lin Fan smiled.
“But master, you did not steal my pills, right?”
“Use the word take instead.” Tian Xu said, looking at Lin Fan.
“Did you take my pills?”
“I took them.”
