What shocked Tian Xu was that the earth spirits were actually intelligent.
The tool refining masters in the sect worked themselves to the bone to create the first god cannon. Yet, the earth spirits could easily make a machine with the force equivalent to an Earth Star Border Stage Four just using Yuan crystals. That was astounding.
But when Didi noticed Tian Xu’s glance, it couldn’t help but let out a shiver.
“Be careful. That old thing is staring at us weirdly. He looks as if he’s going to swallow us.” it told the other earth spirits.
“It’s too dangerous here. Why would he bring us to such a person?”
“I’m afraid.”
Upon receiving the news, Huo Rong dashed over. The earth spirits surprised him, as he didn’t expect to come across such things that were so intelligent despite not being human.
“How lucky must he be? What did he do in his past life to find so many good things?” Huo Rong said. He was speechless by how lucky Lin Fan was, and the thought of it made chills run down his spine.
The Magnificent Flame sect had existed for such a long time, and yet they had never come across such things. But Lin Fan always came back with weird things every time he goes on a tri[p. For example, the large number of pills that he always brought back. It was so much that even the elders envied him.
The amount of wealth that he had gained could hardly be imagined.
However, Huo Rong was glad that Lin Fan told them about the Yuan crystal mine. It showed that the sect was important to Lin Fan.
The Yuan crystal mine might not help Lin Fan with cultivation, but he could still use it to make money. But now, he was letting the sect know about the mine instead of keeping it himself. This showed that he cares about the sect.
Huo Rong might’ve been slightly unhappy with Lin Fan previously, but he no longer felt that way.
Lin Fan might be arrogant and enjoyed finding trouble, but it didn’t matter as long as he cared for the sect sincerely.
Feeling someone staring at him, Lin Fan turned around. But all he saw was elder Huo Rong staring at him like he had an ulterior motive.
His gaze seemed to bore a hole through Lin Fan.
“Cough!” Lin Fan coughed, hinting that elder Huo Rong should say something.
“Master, you should send disciples to the Lunar Moutain city. The entrance of the mine is in the shop of Huang Fugui, a disciple of our sect’s soon-to-be brother-in-law. I’ll talk to him about it, but we should still give them the appropriate compensation.”
“Of course.” Tian Xu nodded. “The sect will definitely compensate them. We should choose a new mayor and disciple to guard the city too. Who do you think is suitable?”
“Don’t ask me. I have no idea. Master can decide yourself.”
Lin Fan didn’t care about this. He only returned to notify them about the Yuan crystal mine.
Since the Yuan crystal mine was discovered in the Magnificent Flame Sect, Lin Fan wouldn’t keep it for himself. But he would if he found it in another sect or in the danger zones.
However, something suddenly came to mind.
Lin Fan suddenly remembered that Yuan crystals could be found in the Abyssal Worm’s worms belly. This shows that there was a Yuan crystal mine in the Thousand Deep cave.
~However, the place is connected to a few sects. I will surely attract attention if I collect the crystals. I should keep this a secret first.~
“Didi!”
Hearing Lin Fan call him, Didi’s heart pounced. It might have arrived at a beautiful place, but he was unfamiliar with it, and there were numerous dangerous living things around too. It dared not be careless.
~They might still eat us!~
~I need to talk to Didi.~ Lin Fan thoughted. ~They might have IQ, but no EQ.~
~ It’s impossible to scare them. I need to tell them about our sect’s history, so they understand the current lifestyle.~
“Come with me.” Lin Fan waved his hands.
Didi looked at Lin Fan in fear. The tuft on its head moved slightly as Didi turned to seek help from its companion, who all shook their head in response.
Lin Fan sat on top of the peak while Didi said next to him, whispering to each other.
Nobody knew what they were talking about, but gasps and shouts of anger could be heard from Didi. Sometimes, Didi even seemed to be rebellious.
Not much later, Didi walked over. Instead of being afraid, it raised its hands high up in front of its peers.
“Guys, we need to work harder! We should continue our research and development to achieve peace. From now on, we’ll live here and make whatever we want…”
The Earth spirits were taken aback by Didi’s change in attitude. They couldn’t understand his sudden change and what it said.
Lin Fan watched, smiling. ~My breath didn’t go to waste.~
~This Didi isn’t bad; when we establish the first Magnificent Flame Sect research and development department, he will definitely play a large part in it.~
“Disciple, what did you tell him to convince him to join us?” Tian Xu had now accepted the earth spirits, and he realized that they were even more helpful than the tool refining masters in the sect.
If they joined the sect, there would definitely be a great improvement to the sect.
“Due to justice.” Lin Fan answered seriously.
~And that’s the answer. Justice, it is. And I, Lin Fan, am the representation of Justice. ~
Tian Xu turned to him and nodded. ~Maybe that’s what Justice is to my disciples.~
“Justice? You must be lying.” Huo Rong mumbled.
“Master, I’ll return now. Hurry and send the disciples over. I’ll guard the city until they arrive.”
After doing everything he needed, Lin Fan decided to rush back to guard the Lunar Mountain city. ~ There’s nobody’s protecting the city now. I’ll head back in order to prevent more trouble.~
“Alright.”
Lin Fan tore space open and rushed towards the Lunar Mountain city.
“Senior brother, what should we do with the earth spirits?” Huo Rong asked.
Now, the earth spirits had accepted the Magnificent Flame Sect. Didi was even filled with the fighting spirit after his conversation with Lin Fan.
Justice and peace needed them.
Didi had been living underground for its entire life. How could it not be excited to hear that the Research and Development the earth spirits were doing was useful and needed to achieve justice and peace?
“Put them at the Tool Refining School and open a new section just for them. Give them all the materials they need, and nobody is allowed to disturb them.”
“Mhmm.” Huo Rong nodded. He knew how important the earth spirits were to the sect. Suddenly, something came to mind, “I noticed a very talented disciple in the Invincible peak. He cultivates very fast.”
“Oh, since he’s under my disciple, my disciple should know what to do with him. You don’t need to pay much attention to the disciple.” Tian Xu said. He wasn’t interested in any more talents after watching how quickly Lin Fan improved.
“Your disciple has a clear mind too. He left that disciple in charge of the peak and left with the other senior disciples .” Huo Rong laughed. “It shows that he intends to cultivate this disciple.” Huo Rong laughed. If that disciple was in other peaks, things might not have gone so well.
This was because talented cultivators gave most peak leaders extra stress.
“Hehe!” Tian Xu laughed and left with the Earth Spirits for the Tool refining school.
Lin Fan was currently speeding through the air, streams of air passing by him.
Suddenly!
He stopped in his tracks as he felt an aura coming towards him.
Lin Fan went towards the aura too.
He came out of the space tunnel and looked down.
A teenager with black hair could be seen looking up. Fierce intent could be felt from his black knife, and they were staring at each other.
“Very powerful!”
Both parties said at the same time.
Lin Fan could feel the strong aura and sharp intent coming from the teenager. This was the strongest person he had met amongst those that had similar cultivation to him.
The other party might be in the Heaven Star Border stage six realm, but his aura was terrifying.
“It’s such a pity that you don’t use knives.” The teenager said. “But you’re the strongest I’ve met among those our age. I want to fight you.”
Lin Fan landed and smiled. “Alright. You’re also the strongest that I’ve seen of our age. I’m interested in fighting you as well.”
~Jun Wutian, Dao Tianwang, and Yun Xiao are nowhere near him.~
~His manner of dressing shows that he’s definitely not from the sect. How interesting would fighting for the first peak be if he was?~
~Since he’s in the Heaven Star Border Stage Six, let’s see if I can beat him without the laws.~
The teenager pulled out his black knife. The entire area was filled with knife intent.
“Black wings!”
Suddenly, a black screen could be seen coming from the teenager in black, wrapping up the surroundings.
“Interesting, let’s see how strong you are!”
“Violent body!”
“Cruel blood!”
“Magic of the seven gods!”
Lin Fan gave it his all.
Crack!
His shirt burst opened, and he grew quickly. His red hair danced in the air, and the surrounding air’s viscosity got harder.
A strong aura could be felt, making space shatter. It blocked the black screen, making it unable to advance.
“Powerful, you’re so powerful. I’d be happier if you used a knife.”
The teenager burst into laughter.
The teenager passed many cultivators during his journey. Still, Lin Fan was the only one that caught his attention. He immediately released his aura to let Lin Fan feel it and come fight with him.
