Kim Hwawol tried to spot signs of lying, but Tian Xu was so calm that he seemed to be telling the truth. She gritted her teeth and pulled out a few pills from her pocket, raising them up high.
“Ten mystic-high class pills for anyone who can tell me where Lin Fan is.”
Instantly, the strong medicinal scent filled the air.
When Tian Xu heard that she was Kim Hwawol, he received her with a smile. In fact, he and Kim Hwawol’s master could be considered old “friends’, if her master was willing to be friends with someone who once injured her badly.
~Haish, we were too young back then. We shouldn’t have acted so rashly.~
Hearing that Kim Hwawol was giving out ten mystic-high class pills, Kang Bihyun’s eyes lit up. To her, it was a considerable sum of wealth.
The Yin and Yang sect might no longer be as poor as they once were, but high-class mystic pills were still helpful and precious to Earth star border realm disciples. It was worth even more in undeveloped sects like the Magnificent Flame Sect.
“Are you doubting my words?” Tian Xu said, looking at Kim Hwawol unhappily. A strong aura was immediately descended.
“I wouldn’t dare. Hwawol just wants to give it a try.” Kim Hwawol said, lowering her head. She wouldn’t dare go against Tian Xu even if her master was present.
Tian Xu was the sole reason why the Magnificent Flame Sect was still around despite its bad situation.
To other sects, Tian Xu carried half of the sect on his back.
Without Tian Xu, the Magnificent Flame Sect was nothing.
Having powerful elites might not be the most essential to other sects, but it was still necessary.
Kang Bihyun looked around with her nose high in the air. She was sure that the Magnificent Flame sect disciples would be shocked and tempted by the pills.
However, to her surprise, nobody seemed to pay them any attention.
She even heard deprecating comments.
“Those mystic-high class pill sucks. Are they even effective?”
“I know right, they are only middle-class pills.”
The Magnificent Flame Sect disciples shook their heads. In fact, they were from the Invincible peak. The number of pills that they had seen was innumerable. They had even seen a pill dragon before. Just one sniff in the room of pills, and they would be filled with energy.
With the now elite pharmacologist and the frog around, mystic-low class pills were nothing anymore.
Moreover, it was apparent that Kim Hwawol and the group were here to cause Lin Fan trouble. Why should they bother with them when even Elder Tian Xu couldn’t bother to entertain them.
“What…..” Kim Hwawol’s face fell. She couldn’t believe that the ten mystic-high class pills weren’t attractive to the Magnificent Flame Sect disciples. Back at the Yin and Yang sect, many disciples would have flocked over for them.
“Kim Hwawol, I know your master. What do you mean by this? Are you trying to say that my sect’s disciple will frame others just for these ten pills?” Tian Xu sneered. The smile on his face was gone, and he stopped treating Kim Hwawol nicely.
“I wouldn’t dare!”
Kim Hwawol looked down immediately. She wasn’t happy with their situation now. How wouldn’t she know about the relationship between her master and Tian Xu? Tian Xu was the culprit behind her master’s looks.
“Mmm. I’m busy with the sect’s matters nowadays. I have no time to entertain you all; see yourselves out.”
Tian Xu waved his hands. He didn’t even want to look at Kim Hwawol.
“Hwawol bids elder Tian Xu goodbye.”
Kim Hwawol bowed and left with her disciples immediately.
“Senior Brother, that wasn’t very nice. What’s wrong with admitting to it?” Huo Rong said, walking towards Tian Xu.
“What am I supposed to admit? I can’t stand her. She should fix her face even before even coming over. I would have taken her life here if not for her master.”
Tian Xu sighed and shook his head.
“Haish, what is my disciple doing? Why did he beat her up? And that woman. How dare she come and complain after being beaten up by our disciple? She’s an elder after all; doesn’t she feel any shame?”
“Most Yin and Yang sect members don’t have any.” Huo Rong said seriously.
“Junior brother,” Tian Xu said after a pause, raising an eyebrow. “It seems like there are some hidden meanings behind your words.”
“Hahaha!” Huo Rong laughed out loud on hearing Tian Xu. “There’s something else I have to tell you. The Saint Convent Sect is pressuring the Heavenly Sect palace to punish us.”
“With war?” Tian Xu frowned.
“I’m not sure. But it should be economic sanctions. If that really happens, our citizens will struggle.” Huo Rong shook his head.
After leaving the sect.
“Elder, I’m sure that he was definitely from the Magnificent Flame Sect!” Kang Bihyun couldn’t hold it in anymore.
“Tian Xu has decided to let this matter go,” Kim Hwawol said. “But not me. I will inform my master about this when I return and let her decide what to do.”
“Hmph, a sect like this would have been destroyed long ago without Tian Xu.” Park Biyoon said angrily.
A month later.
A figure could be seen sitting crossed-legged in a cave. Energy waves reverberated around his body, and a powerful aura filled the cave. The air felt so viscous it felt like a liquid.
Clouds could be seen in the sky above as if heralding something coming into the world.
“Finally, I have enough experience points.”
Lin Fan’s eyes lit up.
“Finally, after so much hard work.”
He was impressed by his own determination. ~This is what an elite should be like.~
~Just commit suicide every time I feel bored. It worked like magic.~
~All my troubles and negative emotions would disappear.~
“Level up!” He mumbled to himself.
“Points – Fifty million.”
“Cultivation: Heaven star Border stage five.”
Boom!
As soon as Lin Fan’s cultivation increased, all the energy gushed out of his body fiercely.
Lin Fan let out a growl. Veins could be popping out of Lin Fan’s body, and he was soon wrapped in flames. Unable to stand the pressure from Lin Fan, the cave walls start to collapse.
“I, Lin Fan, am now a Heaven Star Border Stage Five elite. I can start comprehending the laws, and nobody in this world can stop me!”
As soon as he finished his words.
The cave exploded and caused the mountain to start shaking.
Instantly, the five gods of the Magic of seven gods arrived.
God of internal, Zhongchi!
God of violence, Tianzhong!
God of existence, Zhidao!
God of earth, Baigu!
God of heaven, Lingtai!
The five gods appeared and floated next to Lin Fan. Each god had a different aura, but there’s they are all similar.
Powerful.
“I have finally reached this stage! From the Body tempering realm to the Earth Star Border realm, and finally the Heaven Star Border realm. I put in so much effort and built such a strong foundation just to reach where I am today.”
Instantly, Lin Fan’s eyes widened in shock. He could see black smoke twirling into the air. A mist could be seen coming from his body too.
The mist and smoke fused, revealing his heaven star body. His violent aura resulted in an energy tornado.
“Law of strength, show yourself.”
He took out the mace and frying pan so that the law of strength Tian Xu had put in his weapon could come out.
“Living thing, you aren’t bad. I didn’t expect you to reach Heaven Star Border Stage Five realm so quickly. I’ll live up to my promise.” The law of strength didn’t have a physical body, so Lin Fan couldn’t see it.
“Okay.”
After reaching Heaven Star Border stage Five realm, Lin Fan’s aura had gotten increasingly more powerful. He has been longing for this day, as he could now finally fight the elites who have understood the laws more easily.
~If not for my foundation, I wouldn’t have been a match for them.~
“With your foundation, you can comprehend many laws. But you living things have a natural limit, which is nine laws. Think hard on which ones you want.”
“I’ll live up to my promise of letting you understand the core of strength. But it’s up to you to see if you could successfully comprehend it.”
Instantly, a mystic strength could be felt.
“This is the method to understand the core of strength. Your success depends only on you.”
Lin Fan closed his eyes and opened it suddenly.
“So that is how it is. As for my nine laws, I only need one. Which is strength, pure strength. There is no need for any other laws.”
Boom!
Instantly, numerous laws appeared in the air. Each one seemed to have been suppressed for a long time.
“There is a living thing trying to capture us.”
“We are living things too; we aren’t going to become your tonic.”
Sound waves formed in the air. The laws’ screams rang in Lin Fan’s head.
The screams were so loud that it could easily turn one deaf. But it was nothing to Lin Fan.
“You are all useless. I only need the law of strength; the rest of you can get lost.”
“Come!”
Instantly, a law descended onto Lin Fan. Unable to resist the suction force from Lin Fan, it entered him.
“Powerful.”
When the law of strength entered his body, the energy in his body substantially increased.
“I have never felt anything like this before.”
He didn’t expect such a significant improvement after understanding the law. This was something he couldn’t imagine in the past.
The five gods of the magic of seven gods held the energy.
A black hole formed behind his Heaven Star Body, which was absorbing the law of strength hungrily.
“Form the core of strength.”
Boom!
Thunder could be seen in the skies. Numerous laws of strength descended onto Lin Fan. They were struggling, but they couldn’t resist him.
“You only need three laws of strengths to form a core of strength. Withstand the pain, and you will succeed.” The law of strength said.
