When Lin Fan returned to Wuming Peak, he noticed something unusual today.
Normally, as soon as he came back, Zhang Erdou would be the first to run out to greet him. But now, even after standing at the peak entrance and coughing heavily, Zhang Erdou still didn’t show up.
Something was definitely wrong.
The more Lin Fan thought about it, the more suspicious he became. He decided to head toward Zhang Erdou’s wooden hut to see what exactly was going on with him.
Could it be that after taking the pill he gave them, they had no way to release their energy and went down the mountain to find some girls?
But that didn’t make sense either. If they had gone down the mountain, given Zhang Erdou’s appearance, no girl would have agreed to anything.
If they had used force, there would definitely have been a huge uproar throughout the sect.
That didn’t seem right either. With Zhang Erdou’s low cultivation level, wouldn’t the outer sect disciples have slapped him to death in no time? Could it be that Feng Bu jue had taken them along?
At this point, Lin Fan thought it was increasingly possible.
Arriving at Zhang Erdou’s hut, Lin Fan didn’t even knock and simply pushed the door open and walked in.
However, upon entering the room, Lin Fan was stunned by the sight before him.
Zhang Erdou now looked like he had been dehydrated, lying weakly on the floor, gasping heavily. What made Lin Fan feel even more shocked was that there was a hole in the ground. It wasn’t very big, but it was definitely deep—so deep it looked bottomless.
“Erdou, what the hell happened to you?” Lin Fan asked.
“Zong…Zongzhu, this pill is poisoned…” Zhang Erdou said, his face full of despair. Thinking back to what had just happened, he felt utterly hopeless.
He had actually…raped the earth.
Wuwu…
Zhang Erdou didn’t even know what to say anymore. Although he had been a servant in the sect for many years, he had always been a good young man who preserved his purity.
And yet now he had done such a thing.
When he returned to his hut, Zhang Erdou had eagerly swallowed the pill, then sat cross-legged on the ground to practice the technique given by his junior brother.
But soon, he realized something was wrong. A mysterious flame surged violently within his body. Even more shockingly, a certain part of his body began to rise.
He felt an urge to challenge the heavens.
At first, Zhang Erdou thought it was just the pill taking effect.
But as time passed, he realized something was seriously wrong. His lower body became swollen and increasingly uncomfortable, and he desperately wanted to find a cave to dive into and explore.
In the end… there was no end.
Zhang Erdou ended up piercing through the ground. Fortunately, the ground was soft, otherwise someone could have been killed.
“Rest well,” Lin Fan said, not knowing what else to say, and quietly stepped out.
At that moment, Lin Fan wiped his forehead. He never expected the pill’s effects to be so strong that even he felt a bit frightened.
Suddenly, he thought of Ye Shaotian. If Ye had taken one of his pills too, would someone end up dead?
After all, Zhang Erdou had managed to pierce the earth. If that kind of force struck a person, wouldn’t it tear them apart?
But by now, it was probably too late to go check.
Perhaps the two were now reaching their peak together—or ascending to heaven.
Well, well, maybe it would be okay after all.
Then Lin Fan went to Feng Bu jue’s hut and took a quick peek. From what he saw, Feng Bu jue was just like Zhang Erdou—another strange person who had pierced the earth.
Forget it. He’d just go back and make more pills to take.
Lin Fan had never really enjoyed cultivation. Sitting still was just too boring. He preferred making and taking pills.
Since he had already looted three kinds of medicinal herbs from the Dan Ding Peak herb garden, he might as well combine them well to make some pills for his own cultivation.
Although these pills didn’t grant much experience, with enough accumulation, taking more could still make a difference.
Over the next three days,
Lin Fan went nowhere and stayed in his hut the entire time, making and taking pills.
The experience gained from the pills gradually seeped into his body, steadily increasing the experience required for his advancement.
At present, he was still at the early stage of innate cultivation. But if compared to real cultivation levels, he had practically already reached half the way to the divine realm.
But why was the system still showing him as only at the early innate stage, even though his actual cultivation level had already reached half the divine realm? Was it because “concentration is the essence”?
Would his cultivation level always be significantly higher than others from now on?
Over these three days, neither Zhang Erdou nor Feng Bu jue visited him once. Lin Fan originally thought they were just sulking a little, but eventually realized they had been resting in their huts for three days straight, as if that single pill had completely drained their energy.
This small discovery sparked many interesting thoughts in Lin Fan’s mind.
This “Da Fange” was indeed a magical pill. Although it had already been successfully created, there was still much to learn, and he couldn’t afford to become complacent. “Da Fange” still had a lot of room for improvement.
The next day,
Lin Fan stopped making pills. Over these few days, the herbs were nearly used up. He had already made one hundred “Da Fange” pills, and the remaining herbs were used by Lin Fan to concoct various strange pills, which he then consumed, transforming them into streams of experience.
At this point, Lin Fan walked out of his hut and saw Zhang Erdou and Feng Bu jue standing at the door, guarding it.
Lin Fan smiled. It seemed their spirits were pretty good.
“How was that pill?” Lin Fan asked jokingly. Perhaps for them, this pill had been a nightmare for a lifetime.
In Lin Fan’s view, that pill was indeed poisonous—for those without hidden ailments, it was practically a toxic pill. But what he hadn’t expected was that after exchanging a glance, Zhang Erdou and Feng Bu jue both said in unison that it was a divine pill.
“Zongzhu, this pill is truly amazing. Zongzhu is indeed the person I, Erdou, admire most in my life. Your pill-making skills are truly unparalleled,” Zhang Erdou flattered.
Seeing Zhang Erdou praising him again, Lin Fan sighed and shook his head. “Erdou, sometimes you don’t have to force it. This pill just isn’t suitable for you two.”
“No, Zongzhu! What my senior brother said is exactly what I wanted to say. This pill is incredible. Although the process was somewhat painful, after taking it, I experienced a feeling I can’t describe. It was as if…” Feng Bu jue was at a loss for words, unsure how to express it. But in his mind, it was an indescribable, amazing feeling, as if all his worries vanished in that moment.
He felt light-hearted and joyful.
And that feeling didn’t last long—only about a day. After that, everything returned to normal.
“What kind of feeling?” Lin Fan was stunned, scratching his head. This couldn’t be right. A pill made from only three herbs—how could it cause such a feeling?
“Zongzhu, I really can’t describe it. Perhaps only by trying it yourself can you truly understand,” Feng Bu jue replied.
Lin Fan looked at the two, narrowing his eyes slightly. Could these two be trying to get revenge by tricking him into taking the pill himself? But judging from their eager expressions, they didn’t seem to be faking.
“Do you two want more pills now?” Lin Fan asked cautiously.
“Yes, Zongzhu! If possible, please grant another pill to us brothers,” Zhang Erdou begged eagerly.
WTF, did these two actually get addicted to taking pills?
Well, whatever. He’d just give each of them another one.
After receiving the pills, the two immediately thanked Lin Fan and hurriedly returned to their hut.
Watching them go back inside, Lin Fan was left in confusion. Could it really be that amazing?
Lin Fan had always taken pills as a source of experience and had never experienced their effects firsthand. Now, hearing their descriptions, he actually felt a bit tempted.
What kind of feeling was it exactly?
Could it really be that miraculous?
