From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

For the next five days, Lin Fan went to the Physique Peak for his cultivation training.

Zhang Yi Nian had intensified his routine, trying to maximize Lin Fan's potential.

First, it was just normal fire and ice.

Then it became fire and ice generated from demonic beast cores.

With the use of the demonic beast cores, Lin Fan's cultivation speed became even faster.

Lin Fan improved and inched closer to Foundation Establishment Level, Stage Two.

Ten demonic beast cores were utilized within the five days.

This reminded him of how resource-intensive cultivation was; more was needed at higher levels.

Qing Feng Sect, at the moment, was in need of resources after the battle with Dark Lotus Sect.

So when Zhang Yi Nian exhausted the demonic beast cores, he instructed Lin Fan to go and take on a mission at the Mission Hall.

…

Mission Hall.

Lin Fan arrived and saw that it was more crowded than usual.

Every peak was short of resources, so all the disciples had to take on missions.

The disciples looking at the mission wall, which hung the mission slabs, went quiet when they saw Lin Fan.

They made way for him as Lin Fan tried to see if any missions interested him.

Each of the disciples moved with Lin Fan's eyes as he scanned through the mission slabs.

They'd hoped for Lin Fan to choose a team mission.

They figured it would be a smooth mission if they went with Lin Fan.

Most of them were only at Qi Concentration Level.

And Lin Fan was someone at Foundation Establishment Level who had defeated an opponent at Core Formation Level easily.

A rare feat none of them could accomplish.

Lin Fan stopped and read one of the mission slabs.

They shook their heads and silently said no when they saw that it was a solo mission.

The next moment when Lin Fan looked away from the mission slab, they collectively let out a huge sigh.

"Phew, thought he wanted to go for the solo mission."

"I heard it's been pretty unstable outside, best to go with him."

"One of my senior martial brothers got badly hurt by the rebels he had to help suppress."

They chatted silently amongst themselves.

Finally, Lin Fan got intrigued by a group mission.

The disciple who talked about suppressing rebels cursed, as Lin Fan was looking at one mission slab about suppressing rebels. Read latest chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

Lin Fan wanted to find out the situation on the ground.

The fact that it was to suppress the Yi Tribe attracted him; they were well known for taming demonic beasts.

He could use the opportunity to gain some vengeance points.

The mission required a party of three, and the reward was a hundred contribution points.

Lin Fan thought of asking Ho Ming and Hun Yen Kun to come along.

After he took down the mission slab, he went over to the counter.

All eyes were on Lin Fan with every step he took.

"Good afternoon, senior martial brother." The disciple at the counter bowed and was courteous to Lin Fan.

After so many successful missions and what Lin Fan did in Late Spring Hunt, the disciple wasn't so stupid to offend him.

The disciple at the counter continued and said, "This mission requires two more members; you might have to get them here to process it."

"Senior martial brother, pick me. I'm skilled and powerful enough."

"Don't listen to him, he runs away at the sight of trouble."

"I promise you I'm better than the rest."

The disciples started to thump their chests as they spoke, trying to convince Lin Fan to consider them.

Lin Fan just shook his head and ignored them.

They were nothing compared to what he'd gone through with Ho Ming and Hun Yen Kun.

He proceeded to go over to the Sword Peak and looked for Ho Ming and Hun Yen Kun.

Ho Ming agreed without any hesitation.

However, Hun Yen Kun wasn't there.

Qing Yang Zi had sent him to the northern region as reconnaissance.

The only candidate Lin Fan could think of was Zhang Xi.

She didn't need to handle the Peak Lord's duties anymore, and she was capable.

…

Physique Peak.

Main Hall.

Zhang Xi was 'sparring' with a dummy that was placed by the side.

Every punch made the dummy glow.

If the hit was heavier, it would glow more brightly.

"Good afternoon, senior martial sister." Lin Fan bowed and greeted her after he entered the Main Hall.

He continued to state his purpose, "I have a favor to ask. Can you join our party for a mission?"

Zhang Xi didn't reply and continued what she was doing.

She figured Lin Fan must have been up to no good.

Not once had she escaped unscathed.

Her fist froze in mid-air when Zhang Yi Nian's voice projected into her mind.

"Xi er, go and protect him along the way. We can't afford to lose someone with such talents."

Now his own daughter can't even hold a candle to Lin Fan, she sulked and thought silently.

But thinking about it was all that she did.

If Zhang Yi Nian could, he would go on the mission with Lin Fan.

The next moment she turned to Lin Fan and said, "Sure, no problem. I wouldn't have agreed if it wasn't because of somebody."

Much to the approval of Zhang Yi Nian as he nodded his head.

"Somebody? You mean Miss Rabbit?" Lin Fan misunderstood and thought she was referring to herself.

"Miss Rabbit? Absolutely not." Zhang Xi tried to explain but stopped when she realized it made it look worse.

She wouldn't want him to have other ideas.

Lin Fan then went back to the Mission Hall with Ho Ming and Zhang Xi.

The other disciples were disappointed when they saw Lin Fan coming back with two other people.

The disciple at the counter first briefed them on the details of the mission.

The Yi Tribe had rebelled and attacked the village of Gui An.

They were to go and help the officials there to quell the rebellion.

The mission was accorded high-risk status as the Yi Tribe with their tamed beasts posed significant danger.@@novelbin@@

When he was done, he asked them whether they were still keen.

"Yes, we are still keen." They said firmly as the three of them imprinted their palms on the mission slab.

It was a new start for their partnership.

…

Next day.

Lin Fan left the wooden hut after he double-checked he had everything he needed.

His toad statue was now stocked with pills from Zhang Yi Nian.

When he confirmed he had everything, he set off to meet up with Ho Ming and Zhang Xi.
