The next morning.
Lin Fan always believed in one saying:
The early bird catches the worm.
In such a fiercely competitive Outer Sect, Lin Fan had to seize every second and every minute.
Morning, noon, and afternoon.
Each day, Lin Fan only saw all the Outer Sect disciples during these three periods; at other times, they stayed indoors cultivating. In Lin Fan’s eyes, they were all too reclusive, and he wondered how they weren’t afraid of falling ill from staying inside so much.
Lin Fan strolled outside the cafeteria, his bright eyes scanning the surroundings keenly.
At that moment, his eyes lit up as he spotted his target ahead.
Two people were arguing fiercely, faces flushed with anger, seemingly ready to come to blows at any moment.
“Senior brothers, please calm down! Let’s talk things through peacefully; don’t ruin your harmony like this,” Lin Fan quickly stepped forward to mediate.
“Little brother, you came at just the right time! Please judge this matter for us. Last time, he borrowed ten ‘Qi-Enhancing Pills’ from me, saying he needed them to break through his cultivation barrier. He promised to give me ten extra pills when the sect distributed more next month. But now he’s denying it! Isn’t that infuriating?” The speaker was not particularly muscular but looked very indignant. With Lin Fan’s arrival, he finally had someone to vent to.
However, the other Outer Sect disciple, who had been arguing with him, couldn’t take it anymore. “You’re just making things up! When did I ever say I’d give you ten extra? Don’t believe him, little brother. I only said one extra pill.”
Lin Fan watched the two arguing endlessly and couldn’t help but smile slightly. He hadn’t expected that even in the sect, there would be something like high-interest loans.
“Senior brothers, let me ask—do you have any written evidence of this agreement?” Lin Fan asked.
“No, I trusted him, so I didn’t ask for any proof. Who would have thought he’d turn out like this!”
“You’re making it up! When did I ever say I’d give ten extra? This matter was clearly about giving just one extra pill…”
Lin Fan saw the two arguing intensely again and quickly stepped in to stop them. “Senior brothers, please hear me out.”
“Alright, little brother, let’s hear what you have to say.”
“Yeah.”
Looking at the two, Lin Fan said with a smile, “Senior brothers, judging from this, you two must have been friends before, right?”
“Hmph, that was in the past. Not anymore.”
“I don’t consider you a friend either.”
Lin Fan smiled and said seriously, “Senior brothers, friendship is hard to come by. Isn’t it a shame to become enemies like this?”
His words stunned the two for a moment.
“He gave me ten pills, and we’ll remain friends.”
“No way. If you admit you tricked me, I’ll still consider you my friend.”
…
The two began arguing fiercely again. Lin Fan sighed deeply, waved his hand, and said, “Senior brothers, no need to argue anymore. Let me handle this. I promise I’ll make sure you two become friends again.”
The two looked at Lin Fan in confusion, not understanding what he was planning.
The next moment, they would deeply understand.
“Monkey Steals the Peach.”
“Ding! Congratulations, experience for ‘Monkey Steals the Peach’ increased by 300.”
“Ding! Congratulations, experience for ‘Monkey Steals the Peach’ increased by 300.”
“Ding! Congratulations, defeated a Late-Natal Fifth Stage disciple, experience +400.”
“Ding! Congratulations, defeated a Late-Natal Fourth Stage disciple, experience +300.”
…
At this moment, Lin Fan looked at the two men crouched on the ground, clutching their crotches in pain. He then waved his hand and left without a trace, like a cloud drifting away.
In Lin Fan’s view, as long as they had a common enemy, they could become friends again. To help this pair of friends, who once shared pure camaraderie, reconcile, he was more than willing to be the villain.
Who asked him to be a good person determined to help others?
…
Along the way, Lin Fan encountered many incidents, and each time, he was the first to step forward to resolve conflicts. Although those he helped often ended up resenting him, Lin Fan didn’t mind at all.
Because of his unique, roundabout way of doing things, one day they would understand.
“Ah, Senior Brother Han…” At this moment, Lin Fan saw Han Lu. Thinking back to last night’s incident, Lin Fan felt a little guilty.
Han Lu was in a good mood today. He had successfully broken through to the Late-Natal Fifth Stage last night, although he hadn’t managed the Fifth to Sixth Stage breakthrough. Still, it was a promising start.
At that moment, Han Lu heard someone calling him and looked around in confusion.
However, when he saw who was calling him, his face changed instantly. He quickly lowered his head and hurried away, pretending not to see the person.
Because Han Lu was afraid he wouldn’t be able to control his emotions and might end up killing the guy.
“Senior Brother… Senior Brother.” Lin Fan called out a few times, but seeing Han Lu ignore him, he sighed. His senior brother was just too petty.
Then Lin Fan returned to his usual self, continuing his efforts to help his sect brothers and resolve their troubles.
Thanks to Lin Fan’s relentless efforts, the experience for “Monkey Steals the Peach” soared.
“Ding! Congratulations, ‘Monkey Steals the Peach’ has leveled up!”
Lin Fan’s mood was absolutely wonderful at this moment. “Monkey Steals the Peach” had leveled up. He wondered what the skill would be like after the upgrade.
As Lin Fan continued to use “Monkey Steals the Peach,” he discovered that even a low-tier cultivation technique could become powerful if it reached a high enough level.
It seemed that all cultivation techniques in the world followed the same principle—starting from the simple and progressing to the complex. Even the most supreme techniques were created by others.
And the source of these creations must have started from the basics, constantly exploring and improving until they became supreme techniques.
Although “Monkey Steals the Peach” only had one move, Lin Fan was probably the only one who could use it so skillfully, even surpassing its original intent.
At this moment, Lin Fan had a grand ideal: to elevate the low-tier skill “Monkey Steals the Peach” to the level of a supreme cultivation technique.
When Lin Fan walked into the cafeteria, he noticed a crowd gathering nearby.
His heart leapt with excitement. “Oh wow, looks like something big is happening again!” Without hesitation, he hurried over.
However, when he saw what was happening inside, his mood instantly soured.
Wang Tianfeng again—the guy worth only ten experience points.
At this moment, Wang Tianfeng had found another easy target.
The person whose food was being taken was probably a newly joined junior brother, but this junior was strange—his expression remained calm, yet Lin Fan could see the fury in his eyes. It wasn’t just ordinary anger—it was the kind that wanted to tear someone limb from limb.
The surrounding people whispered among themselves.
“This Fang Han sure has bad luck.”
“Yeah, just joined the sect and already ran into this kind of trouble. How unfortunate.”
…
“You can scram now,” Wang Tianfeng said disdainfully to Fang Han.
Lately, Wang Tianfeng had been having a rough time, so bullying these soft targets felt pretty good.
Fang Han glared at Wang Tianfeng with clenched teeth. He understood that Wang Tianfeng was backed by Yi Zhongyu. For now, he had to endure it, but in the future, he would tear this bastard apart. As for Yi Zhongyu, he was merely a small obstacle on Fang Han’s future path.
What gave Fang Han such confidence was that he had inherited the legacy of the ancient demonic emperor, a mighty figure in the demonic path.
Seeing the newly joined junior being bullied by Wang Tianfeng, Lin Fan felt it was his duty as a senior brother to act like one.
Coughing lightly, Lin Fan said, “Wang Tianfeng, are you looking for another peach?”
Still arrogant, Wang Tianfeng heard these words and froze for a moment. He looked at Lin Fan, his face changing slightly, feeling a chill in his crotch again.
Without saying a word, he placed his meal on the table and left.
Seeing Wang Tianfeng leave, Lin Fan didn’t stop him. After all, Wang was just a ten-experience punk. What else was there to say?
“Thank you, senior brother,” Fang Han said coldly, then picked up his meal and left.
“Heh, pretty aloof, huh? Not bad, not bad…” Lin Fan chuckled. The more personality someone had, the more Lin Fan liked them, because only such strong-willed individuals could grow and become valuable experience sources.
