Chapter 105: Cultivating Hard
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Looking at Wan Zhongtian kneeling on the ground, Huo Rong sighed and took his leave. He rarely interfered in feuds among disciples. Moreover, if one thought that they were above everything and could overlook the best elders in the sect just because they were one of the peak leaders, then they were digging their own grave.
He knew that Tian Xu was being lenient to Wan Zhongtian. If this incident took place about twenty years ago, the punishment for Wan Zhongtian might’ve been way more severe than just kneeling down on the spot, taking into consideration Tian Xu’s temper back then.
However, there was something that Huo Rong understood from this incident; Tian Xu’s direct disciple was very important to him.
Even though Huo Rong still did not understand what was good about Lin Fan even now.
The spectating disciples were at a loss about what was going on.
They had no idea why their Senior Brother Wan, who was here to save the day, would suddenly kneel down to the ground. After a few glances, the crowd scattered.
It’s not a good idea to watch Senior Brother Wan kneel on the ground. If we were so unlucky that he remembered us, how would we continue living in the sect?
Liu Ruochen caressed her swollen cheek. Her feeling of indignity was long gone. The outcome of this incident was something that Liu Ruochen never expected. She never thought that Wan Zhongtian would be pulled down the waters for such a small incident.
If I knew that this would happen, I would not have been so impulsive.
Wan Zhongtian currently had his head lowered down. He was feeling conflicted, but there was nothing else he could do.
He had remained composed in front of Elder Tian Xu because he wanted to let Elder Tian Xu regret not sparing him an eye when he pleaded to become his disciple. Do you regret now, after seeing that I’m standing high up above everyone?
But now, he knew that he was just a joke. Even now, Elder Tian Xu had still not spared him a glance.
On Heaven’s Retribution Peak, Jun Wutian stood at the peak of the mountain, gazing toward the inner sect from afar. He could see all that was taking place at the scene clearly. Jun Wutian’s robe danced in the wind as he lowered his head, pondering.
“Threatening Wan Zhongtian… and us?”
Just then, a ray of light shone past. A figure that resembled the G.o.d of war appeared right in front of Jun Wutian. His fighting intent could be strongly felt. “Jun Wutian, do you get it now? Elder Tian Xu has suppressed Wan Zhongtian just for his precious disciple.”
“Zhan Hongdi, what are you trying to say?”
“Haha, Jun Wutian, are you still unable to understand? Elder Tian Xu is paving the way for his disciple. Do you think that it’s impossible for the ten peaks of the Magnificent Flame Sect to become the eleven peaks of the Magnificent Flame Sect?” Zhan Hongdi had a pair of eyes that was similar to any man, but his will to fight could be seen burning in his eyes ferociously.
This was an indication that he had gotten his cultivation to the limit and had it totally comprehended.
“You’re going to break through?” Jun Wutian did not reply to Zhan Hongdi’s question. He could feel Zhan Hongdi’s strong will to fight, which gave him a shock. It felt as if Zhan Hongdi was dying to overtake others.
“Breakthrough? There’s still a long way to go. However, the other seven peak leaders have already gone out of the sect in search of their chance to break through so they can catch up with you. They will soon be able to achieve that. Please beware or the first peak of the sect will become the last peak of the sect.” Zhan Hongdi laughed and changed his tone. “I heard that the sect is furious with the destruction of the Imperial Sword Pavilion and the death of the three elders of the Imperial Sword Pavilion. They are currently hunting the murderer down. I wonder if you know about this.”
“Zhan Hongdi, what are you trying to say exactly?” Jun Wutian kept a poker face. “Have you already forgotten how it feels to be living under my feet?”
Crack!
The cracking of bones could be heard. Fires of fury could be seen burning in Zhan Hongdi’s...o...b.. as he heard Jun Wutian’s words. Slowly, he disappeared into thin air, and soon he was nowhere to be seen.
“Jun Wutian, I hope you will be the last one laughing.”
“d.a.m.n it.” An icy aura could be felt, destroying and shattering all plants in the surroundings. “Hongdi, one day, I’ll let you know what regret is.”
Hall of the Inner Sect:
Elder Tian Xu had taken his leave.
Lin Fan brought along Qin Shan and his junior brothers to collect the rewards for becoming an inner sect disciple.
To him, the incident that took place today was nothing much. It was just a brief episode to him. And ever since Wan Zhongtian made his appearance, Lin Fan knew that it would be that guy’s unlucky day.
Look, he’s indeed unlucky.
Lu Qiming and the rest were still in deep shock. The incident today had left them mind-blown.
At the same time, they were happy for Lin Fan that Elder Tian Xu came to resolve all Lin Fan’s problems. This was a situation that everyone looked forward to, and they were all hoping that they would gain a master like Elder Tian Xu.
Of course, these were just hopes.
The disciple of the Hall of the Inner Sect came out with a huge stack of items. “Senior Brother, all your items are here.”
Lin Fan took a badge made of iron and took a look at it. This was the evidence of an inner sect disciple. As for other items, clothes, room allocation, and so on were all included too.
“Junior Brothers, let’s go and take a look at the inner disciples’ residence.” Lin Fan waved his hand and set off with the group.
There was a huge difference between the benefits received by an outer disciple and an inner disciple. As an inner disciple, one would get a courtyard to himself, which was something that outer disciples would not.
At the same time, an inner disciple was eligible to collect two mystic-level skillsets from the Hall of Skills, but that was not of any use to Lin Fan for now.
How would I have the points to use on other skillsets when I have not even gotten enough to get those that I’m cultivating right now to the maximum level?
“There’s such a huge difference between the inner and the outer sect.” Huang Fugui gasped, looking at the courtyard.
The courtyard came with a garden and benches made of stone. It might not have been grand, but it was good enough for one to relax after cultivating hard.
“Junior Brothers, cultivate hard and become inner disciples soon. By then, we can be neighbors again.” Lin Fan laughed.
“Hehe, Senior Brother Zhang should be the next to become an inner sect disciple after Senior Brother Lin,” Huang Fugui said.
Amongst them, excluding Lin Fan and Qin Shan, Zhang Long was the one with the highest cultivation, while Gao Dazhuang was the worst.
But Gao Dazhuang always cultivated with Yin Xiaotian, and they had always broken through together. As brothers, they broke through to the next stage together,
After a short conversation, Lin Fan sent all of them off.
Lin Fan returned to the room and looked around it. It’s big enough and has a good environment. It’s a great place. All that’s left to do is to cultivate hard now.
“Haish, I’m at my wit’s end. Ten peak leaders and I have offended two within no time. I wonder if they will try to kill me when I am out of the sect. I need to be more careful.
“Of course, I could sneak out of the sect and they would not know. This is a great choice too.
“Power. Now, power is the most important. I will get myself to Earth Star Border Stage Three within this period of time before going out to get my points. I will increase my power and strengthen my foundation as an Earth Star Border Stage Three.”
Lin Fan had already made plans for the near future. I must make use of this chance since I’m in such great conditions.
He took out a few bottles of pills from the storage ring. Some were collected from the Hall of the Inner Sect, and they were not of a high cla.s.s. However, the pills he had gotten from his master were treasures.
