As night falls, the area where the outer disciples of the Sacred and Devil Sect reside becomes eerily quiet, so silent that it borders on unsettling.
Yet during these moments, a shadowy figure stealthily roams between the residences of the sect’s disciples.
Currently, Lin Fan is unable to find a way to increase his cultivation level among the outer sect disciples, so he has devoted all his energy to his secondary profession. Lin Fan has a stubborn personality; he has already reached level four as a craftsman, yet has not successfully forged anything decent, which frustrates him greatly.
Between the residences of the outer sect disciples, there are small passageways, and these passages have become Lin Fan’s hiding spots. When searching for targets, Lin Fan does not act randomly but instead focuses on disciples who have extinguished their lamps and are asleep.
At this moment, Lin Fan successfully finds a target and begins his work.
Lin Fan directly pulls a loose brick from the wall and throws it into the furnace, starting the forging process.
“Ding! Congratulations on forging a broken brick. Experience +1.”
…
Today’s first attempt didn’t go well, but Lin Fan merely scoffs with disdain. “Hmph, today I’ll stick with you. Let’s see if you can keep producing useless items.”
Without hesitation, Lin Fan starts working diligently, grabbing bricks and throwing them into the furnace.
“Ding! Congratulations on forging a pile of mud. Experience +1.”
“Ding! Congratulations on forging a broken brick. Experience +1.”
“Ding! Congratulations on forging a broken brick. Experience +1.”
…
As time passes, Lin Fan’s inner frustration is about to explode.
“Is this ever going to end? Can’t you forge something decent for once?” Lin Fan mutters, his face flushed and eyes wide with frustration.
At this moment, Lin Fan is fully immersed in his forging, while just a wall away, Fang Han lies on his bed, seemingly devoid of any vitality.
Fang Han has inherited the Devil Emperor’s legacy, giving him a starting point far higher than others, and his cultivation techniques are all ancient and rare.
Currently, Fang Han is cultivating the “Devil Domain,” a technique exclusive to the Devil Emperor. If mastered at a basic level, it allows the creation of a devilish domain filled with devilish energy, from which he can draw power and summon mighty devils.
However, Fang Han is now at a crucial moment, sealing himself off to refine the seed of the Devil Domain. He cannot sense anything happening outside, even if someone were shouting loudly beside him.
…
At this moment, Lin Fan’s expression grows increasingly grim. Nearly all the bricks from one section of the wall have been thrown into the furnace.
“Ding! Congratulations on forging a broken brick. Experience +1.”
“Ding! Congratulations on leveling up as a craftsman. Level +1.”
Hearing the sound of leveling up, Lin Fan’s nearly broken heart suddenly blooms with joy. “Level five as a craftsman! Could it finally produce something decent?”
Lin Fan stops his actions, rubs his hands together, and anticipates good fortune.
“This first attempt at level five must succeed.”
Lin Fan then grabs another brick and throws it into the furnace.
“Come on, my buddy,” Lin Fan shouts inwardly, eyes gleaming with anticipation for a legendary weapon.
“Ding! Congratulations on forging a slightly broken brick. Experience +1.”
“What the heck…” Lin Fan, who was full of expectations, suddenly changes expression, feeling like dying from disappointment.
“I’ve reached level five as a craftsman! Can’t you give me a little hope? Are you determined to keep giving me a hard time?”
At this moment, Lin Fan loses it.
“Fine, I refuse to believe you won’t forge a divine artifact for me.” Lin Fan roars inwardly, then tirelessly grabs bricks and throws them into the furnace without hesitation.
“Ding! Congratulations on forging a slightly broken brick. Experience +1.”
“Ding! Congratulations on forging a slightly improved pile of mud. Experience +1.”
“Ding! Congratulations on forging a slightly improved brick. Experience +1.”
…
Lin Fan’s eyes have become glazed over; all he sees are bricks. Wherever there are bricks, there is Lin Fan’s devilish hand.
Unknown to him, the sky gradually brightens as time passes. Lin Fan is now panting heavily.
After an entire night of forging, his crafting level has increased by three, and he has forged thousands of bricks. However, this annoying secondary profession has still not produced even a slightly useful weapon.
It’s either broken bricks or piles of mud.
Lin Fan wipes the sweat from his forehead. “Fine, if you want to play hard to get, I’ll play along. I refuse to believe my luck is this bad.”
“Strange…”
At this moment, Lin Fan exclaims in surprise. “Isn’t this my junior brother Fang? But why is junior brother sleeping outside?”
Lin Fan becomes furious at this moment. “Who is this heartless bastard who made junior brother sleep outside? As a senior brother, I must investigate this matter thoroughly and never allow my junior brother to suffer such injustice.”
“Wake up, junior brother Fang.” Without thinking much, Lin Fan steps forward and pats Fang Han’s face, but Fang Han remains motionless, as if dead.
Just as Lin Fan is about to perform a heroic act to save his junior brother, he suddenly freezes.
“This isn’t right…”
Lin Fan is stunned, then stands there like an idiot, looking around.
“Here… here…”
At this moment, Lin Fan suddenly realizes the truth and immediately turns to run without hesitation.
“Damn it, I was too enthusiastic with my hard work last night and actually destroyed my junior brother’s house.”
If his junior brother wakes up and finds his house gone, he will surely kill Lin Fan.
Therefore, the best choice at this moment is to retreat immediately and act like an innocent bystander.
…
After returning to his room, Lin Fan acts as if he has done something shameful, leaning against the door with a slightly panting breath.
“It seems I need to be more careful. Accidentally destroying houses is simply immoral.”
“I must stay rational when I act tonight.”
…
As daylight breaks, Fang Han, lying on his bare bed, suddenly opens his eyes, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
“It’s done.”
Finally, the seed of the Devil Domain has been successfully refined. From now on, his cultivation path will be smooth sailing. As long as no unexpected events occur, he will become the next Devil Emperor.
As for the current Sacred and Devil Sect, Fang Han doesn’t even consider it significant. In fact, once he becomes the Devil Emperor, the Sacred and Devil Sect will be honored to have had him.
Because the Devil Emperor, Fang Han, once resided here.
After adjusting his mindset, Fang Han prepares to get up and go to the dining hall for a meal, but at this moment, he suddenly freezes.
“Why is it so bright and the air so fresh inside the room? Huh…” Fang Han exclaims in surprise, then sits up. When he sees the scene before him, he instantly becomes stunned.
“What is going on here?”
At this time, a crowd of outer sect disciples has gathered outside Fang Han’s room, all whispering and pointing.
Fang Han coldly puts on his clothes.
“Who dares to humiliate me?” A furious flame burns in Fang Han’s calm eyes. Once he discovers who is responsible, he will make them pay dearly.
As for those mocking insects, when he achieves his goal, he will send them all to the underworld, never to be reborn again.
