Chapter 498: Even Bad Guys Can Be Handsome Sometimes

“Human-grade, Spirit-grade, Dao-grade, and Supreme-grade treasures.”

Lin Fan recalled the classifications Li Tianquan had told him, finding them somewhat intriguing.

These four grades were further divided into four ranks: Supreme, Upper, Middle, and Lower.

Human-grade treasures were ordinary, possessing various unique functions, but were relatively simple to forge, essentially lifeless objects.

Spirit-grade treasures, on the other hand, were akin to something like “Yao City,” which housed ancient mighty demons that suppressed all directions. The “Soul Devouring Demon Pearl” should also be a Spirit-grade treasure, albeit of the lower rank.

After absorbing the Earth Spirit River, “Yao City” could be considered a Supreme Spirit-grade treasure. If it gathered all five elements, it might even become a Supreme Dao-grade treasure. Once it collected the Yin and Yang spirits and awakened the ancient demon’s bloodline, it could become a Supreme-grade treasure.

The divine artifact “Nine-Five Red Brick” didn’t have a spirit to suppress, but its functions were heaven-defying, placing it among Supreme-grade treasures, perhaps even surpassing them.

Whoever was hit on the head by the “Nine-Five Red Brick” would enter a daze, an effect that bypassed defense and cultivation, something even Supreme-grade treasures couldn’t achieve.

As for the “Feitian,” Lin Fan really couldn’t say much about it. The items forged by this system were getting more and more incredible.

The “Feitian” wasn’t a direct combat treasure but a surprise attack weapon, and Lin Fan wasn’t sure what grade it belonged to.

It seemed that whatever he forged couldn’t be analyzed with conventional thinking because they were all traps.

However, the Daqian races were quite pitiful. None of them could forge treasures, so they could only seize treasures from the ancient races.

They would then refine the seized treasures further, fuse them with various materials, and enhance their grades.

As for wanting to seize a treasure suitable for oneself, that was truly a daydream.

…

“Xiu!”

Lin Fan was moving forward, and this desolate land now held no value. The ancient beasts here were too weak to help him improve his cultivation.

That ancient race camp still lingered in his mind. If he could subdue it completely, his experience would likely skyrocket to terrifying levels.

“Despair City, Despair Marquis. Although this boss is just a little kid, as an enemy, he must be killed. Killing him would definitely elevate my cultivation to a higher level.”

However, at his current Qingtian realm initial stage, confronting the Despair Marquis directly was still impossible. He needed to gradually strengthen his power and, once he reached a certain realm, he would definitely kill him.

But judging from that day’s aura, the Despair Marquis’s strength was likely at the peak of the Huangtian realm.

As Lin Fan was thinking, a dark glowing net suddenly blocked his path.

“What the…?” Lin Fan was startled. Flying smoothly and suddenly encountering this thing made his heart jump.

“Reel it in…”

The vast net, as if alive, suddenly contracted, wrapping Lin Fan’s body.

“Zizi…”

Lightning snakes danced across the net, and a hundred-meter-long thunder dragon suddenly soared through the air, coiling around Lin Fan.

“Damn, talk about thinking of the devil and he appears. Just contemplating treasure grades when something like this suddenly attacks me. It’s like it doesn’t want to leave me a way out.”

“Who is it? Which bastard dares to ambush me? If it weren’t for my strong physical body, that thunder might have knocked me out.” Lin Fan struggled, but the thunder dragon was massive and tightly coiled around him, preventing any movement.

“Stop struggling.” At that moment, a voice came from the void. Then, a man dressed in white with a handsome face floated silently in midair, watching Lin Fan’s struggle.

“Who are you?” Lin Fan looked at the man, his heart tightening. His aura was very strong. When Lin Fan noticed the two horns on the man’s head, he was shocked. “You’re a Dragon Clan member.”

He had been wandering for several months and hadn’t offended anyone from the Dragon Clan, so why was this guy stopping him?

And judging from his demeanor, he was clearly confident of capturing Lin Fan. If they fought, Lin Fan would likely lose.

But when he saw the man’s cultivation level, Lin Fan’s heart skipped a beat. Today was really cursed.

“Huangtian realm high stage.”

This cultivation level completely outclassed him.

And what was this thing made of? It was so sturdy that even with his strong physical body, he couldn’t break free.

Lin Fan felt a bit nervous. As the saying goes, when facing a stronger opponent, it’s best to back down and not show off.

“Esteemed and handsome Dragon Clan member, I’m a human. We’re practically the same species. Why are you binding me?” Lin Fan shouted.

“You humans are indeed interesting. Don’t you recognize me?” Long Xuan smiled slightly. This smile was as warm as spring, likely irresistible to any woman.

“Recognize? Of course, aren’t you the most handsome and charming man in the Dragon Clan? I, Lin Fan, have long admired your reputation.” Lin Fan had no idea who had captured him mid-journey, but at this moment, he had to flatter him to make him let his guard down.

Perhaps this guy was someone who enjoyed flattery. If he flattered him enough, he could use “Feitian” to strike him from behind and achieve a perfect counterattack.

“Haha, I, Long Xuan, am a wanted criminal among the Daqian races. You, a human, actually praise me, which is rare. But why does Xiao Guang want to see you? You’re an ordinary human, talkative, and your eyes are full of cunning.” Long Xuan examined Lin Fan from head to toe but couldn’t find anything extraordinary.

Lin Fan was almost in tears. Was this guy praising or insulting him? He had just arrived in the Gusheng Realm and only killed some ancient races and beasts. He hadn’t offended any powerful figures. Who could possibly want to see him?

“Brother, who exactly are you? Who wants to see me? I just arrived in the Gusheng Realm and haven’t offended anyone.” Lin Fan said.

This was the kind of person Lin Fan feared the most because the more cheerful someone seemed, the more unpredictable their mood could be. They might speak kindly one moment and kill the next.

“Just come with me.” Long Xuan looked at the human before him, then flicked his sleeve. The thunder dragon followed closely behind, clearly not giving Lin Fan any chance to escape.

“Wait…” Lin Fan didn’t want to leave with this guy at all. If he went to some dangerous place, he might not survive.

“What is it?” Long Xuan asked, but when he saw the human’s expression, he was somewhat surprised.

Earlier, he had a look of flattery, but now why was he so serious?

“Living, one should be a hero; dying, one should be a mighty ghost. I know that going with you means certain death, but I also have my dignity. My strength is inferior to yours, and I don’t blame anyone. Release me and let me fight you properly. Even if I lose, I will accept it willingly.” Lin Fan said solemnly, instantly exuding an endless fighting spirit.

“Hmm…” Long Xuan looked at Lin Fan, slightly surprised, then laughed loudly into the sky. “Interesting, truly interesting. It’s been many years since I’ve met someone as interesting as you. Alright, I’ll grant your wish, but rest assured, I won’t harm your life. I just want you to give up.”

In an instant, the thunder dragon binding Lin Fan loosened and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into Long Xuan’s body.

After landing on the ground, Lin Fan stood there calmly, staring at Long Xuan. “Come down. Let’s fight on the ground.”

“Sigh, why must it be so troublesome? Well then, I’ll let you give up on this idea.” Long Xuan shook his head slightly and said calmly.

With his strength, he didn’t even consider Lin Fan a threat.

Faced with this expert at the Huangtian realm, Lin Fan was genuinely intimidated, but he still wanted to try to defeat him.

Although this guy didn’t seem like a bad person, Lin Fan understood that not all villains had evil faces.

Occasionally, there were handsome villains too.
