From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

As they walked through the central square, disciples from Sword Peak who were practicing their sword style stopped and looked at the unfamiliar faces.

"Who are they?"

"Could they be new disciples?"

"But it's not the time to recruit new disciples yet."

They wondered about who the three young teenage boys and girl were.

One of the senior disciples with his arms crossed in front of his chest said, "They are new disciples of the Physique Peak.

"It's an exception made for the Physique Peak as they don't have any disciples other than Lin Fan, Zhang Xi and Sun Hai."

The other disciples looked on with envy at the new disciples.

If they could, they would've gotten their brothers, sisters and relatives into the Physique Peak.

"They look... poor. How are they going to have the resources for cultivation?" One of the disciples asked as he noticed the clothes with patches that the new disciples were wearing.

Other disciples kept quiet as they knew it was a matter of fact.

Cultivation costs a lot of resources, and if you are not from a rich family, you'd better be one of the best and earn contribution points from the monthly rank matches or going out on missions.

When Shao Xue Cong heard what the disciple had said, she bit her lips and stole a glance at her clothes.

Liang Feng stood closer beside her with his equally ragged clothes, letting her know that she wasn't alone.

"Hi everyone, we are new disciples joining the Physique Peak. Glad to see all the senior martial brothers and sisters." Lin Xuan Qi bowed and greeted the disciples in the central square.

He glanced at the disciples' faces and remembered them.

Telling himself that one day he would prove them wrong.

Lin Fan observed their reactions and nodded approvingly.

They were much more mature than their age.

Other teenage boys and girls might've gotten into an argument with the disciple without recognizing the fact that what the disciples said might be true.

Piak.

The senior disciple slapped the back of the disciple that made the comment about the new disciples looking poor.

"What are you thinking about? With Lin Fan in the Physique Peak, they wouldn't have much worry about cultivation resources."

"Yeah, I heard Lin Fan just accomplished a mission that had rewards of a few hundred gold ingots and contribution points."

"What? Gold ingots and contribution points?"

They started to murmur about the mission's reward that Lin Fan just had.

Their faces turned to envy as they thought about the rewards that the new disciples for Physique Peak could have just by going on missions with Lin Fan.

Sigh.

But there was nothing much they could do but give out a sigh.

"Lin Fan, these must be your juniors." Guo He Ru appeared with three disciples from the Alchemy Peak behind him.

The disciples had small wooden chests in their hands.

Guo He Ru turned back, glanced at his disciples and the disciples opened the chests.

Inside each chest were several bottles of pills.

"These are bottles of Qi Concentration Pills and also Qi Refining Pills as a gift for them."

Guo He Ru lifted his head high up, thinking to himself that he was doing networking right.

Since he was now the Peak Lord, he had better learn to behave more like one.

His disciples walked up to Liang Feng, Shao Xue Cong and Lin Xuan Qi and passed them the wooden chests.

This made the other disciples from the Sword Peak much more jealous.

These pills would've cost them a month of saving up to exchange for with contribution points.

But now, these disciples from the Physique Peak could have them for free, just because of Lin Fan.

Before they could digest all of it, Han Dang's voice boomed in the air.

"Well, well. Guo He Ru, you've surely changed." Han Dang walked up to Guo He Ru and patted him on his shoulder.

"What do you mean changed? I've always been as talented and well connected with friends like Lin Fan."

Even though Han Dang was used to it by now, he still rolled his eyes at Guo He Ru's antics.

"I'm not here to banter with you." Han Dang walked towards the new disciples and took out three bracelets and gave one to each.

Liang Feng, Shao Xue Cong and Lin Xuan Qi were confused and didn't know how to react, so they glanced over at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan just shrugged, and they accepted the gifts.

"That's the way. These bracelets will help you to stabilize your Qi when you start your cultivation." Han Dang then briefed them on how to use the bracelets.

"What...Qi Stabilizing Bracelets?"

"These cost a hundred contribution points each."

"I'm beginning to think that I'm the poor one now."

After witnessing the gifts that Liang Feng, Shao Xue Cong and Lin Xuan Qi had gotten in a short span of time, the disciples started to think that they were in fact the poorer ones.

Zhang Xi frowned and whispered to Lin Fan, "Aren't you afraid they would be targeted by the other disciples out of jealousy?"

Lin Fan gave her a smile and said, "Remember what happened to the other junior disciples?

"Letting Liang Feng, Shao Xue Cong and Lin Xuan Qi have some urgency might be better for them.

"Especially now that the Dark Lord is back."

When Zhang Xi heard about the Dark Lord, she sighed and nodded quietly.

Lin Fan was right.

They better get Liang Feng, Shao Xue Cong and Lin Xuan Qi up to speed quickly.

It was after all a matter of life and death.

"Thank you so much Alchemy Peak Lord and Artifacts Peak Lord. I shall treat you to dinner when you have time." Lin Fan bowed and thanked Guo He Ru and Han Dang.

When Liang Feng, Shao Xue Cong and Lin Xuan Qi heard who the two men were, they startled for a moment and looked at each other.

They knew Lin Fan was powerful and smart, but they didn't realize he was also well connected to the peak lords.

Their respect for Lin Fan increased again and they aspired to be as good as he was.
