The sky gradually darkened, and Lin Fan had long since successfully refined all the pills. However, one type of pill he hadn’t consumed himself because it would be quite useful for his two disciples.
“Sky-Replenishing Pill!”
Long-term consumption could fill in the innate deficiencies of a martial artist, offering countless wondrous benefits.
This “Sky-Replenishing Pill” required three ingredients in total. Although its rank was merely Earth Tier Lower Grade, the benefits it offered were immense for any martial artist.
Especially for Zhang Erdog and Feng Bujuex, the effects would be astonishing. Their cultivation levels were low, and they had many innate flaws. With the “Sky-Replenishing Pill,” those flaws could be compensated, and their cultivation would advance significantly.
Recently, under suitable conditions, Lin Fan would also pat their heads and help improve their innate talents. This secondary profession had infinite potential. Lin Fan knew he hadn’t fully explored its essence yet. If he could truly master it, the results would be extraordinary.
“Master, time for dinner,” Zhang Erdog and Feng Bujuex said simultaneously, entering with a variety of dishes.
“Alright,” Lin Fan nodded. Normally, if he wasn’t out, the three meals a day were prepared and brought by these two disciples.
Except for the rather poor living conditions, everything else seemed quite good to Lin Fan.
“Master, this is the Moon桂花 Fish we caught from the upper stream of the sect. It’s delicious,” Zhang Erdog said. Now that he had become accustomed to living on this unnamed peak and being the master’s disciple, he felt quite content.
Every day was just cultivation, chatting, boasting, and going out for a stroll. In Zhang Erdog’s eyes, this was a blissful life.
Especially since the master treated them well. Although the master sometimes exuded a faintly overbearing aura, that very aura was what had completely won Zhang Erdog over.
“These are two pills. Take them back and consume them. They will benefit you,” Lin Fan said, tossing two “Sky-Replenishing Pills” over.
Zhang Erdog’s face lit up as he caught the pills, initially thinking they were “Big Fan Pills.” However, upon seeing the unfamiliar pills, he couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
It had been several days since he last took the “Big Fan Pill,” and he truly missed it.
Feng Bujuex, naturally possessing greater insight than Zhang Erdog, could immediately sense the immense pill aura upon catching one. This was definitely no ordinary pill.
“Thank you, Master,” Feng Bujuex bowed gratefully.
“Just make sure you repair the house for me,” Lin Fan said.
“Yes,” Feng Bujuex nodded.
At this moment, Zhang Erdog looked at Lin Fan with pitiful eyes, hesitating as he spoke, “Master, could I possibly exchange this pill for a ‘Big Fan Pill’? You see, I’ve lost weight these past few days. I want to take the ‘Big Fan Pill’ to recover my strength.”
Zhang Erdog truly missed that feeling. Although this pill was definitely extraordinary, if given a choice, he would definitely pick the “Big Fan Pill.” After all, that was the pill a real man should take.
Powerful, majestic, and exhilarating.
“This is actually a divine pill, offering you tremendous benefits. Are you really willing to exchange it?” Lin Fan was taken aback. Seeing Zhang Erdog’s pleading expression, he couldn’t help but curse inwardly. He even said he had lost weight, yet their house was already riddled with holes, barely providing a decent place to stand. Did he still want to keep pounding the ground?
It seemed the “Big Fan Pill” was indeed addictive.
“Please, please, exchange it,” Zhang Erdog nodded vigorously, as if exchanging for the “Big Fan Pill” was the most profitable deal.
Feng Bujuex glanced at Zhang Erdog, then at the pill in his hand, and a thought crossed his mind. If he exchanged it, it might not be a bad deal either.
Lin Fan was momentarily speechless. Seeing Feng Bujuex also showing a hint of desire to exchange, he decided not to say anything further. Was it possible that the two future pillars of the sect would become addicted to the effects of the “Big Fan Pill”?
Lin Fan coughed lightly. “I have something to say. If you insist on exchanging, I shall accommodate you.”
“Alright,” Zhang Erdog nodded, slightly excited.
Lin Fan closed his eyes briefly, then opened them, revealing a pair of deep and wise eyes fixed upon the two.
“Young men do not understand the value of essence; old men weep bitterly over empty meridians.”
“If you truly understand this saying, then decide whether to exchange or not,” Lin Fan said sincerely. If they weren’t his disciples, he wouldn’t bother with such advice at all.
No partner, yet addicted to pills—what would happen if they ever found a partner?
“Master, I already understand. I still want to exchange,” Zhang Erdog immediately replied as soon as Lin Fan finished speaking.
Lin Fan looked at Zhang Erdog, eventually giving up. He would let them have their way, but if they regretted it later, they shouldn’t come running back to him.
“All right, get out,” Lin Fan tossed the pills to them like throwing bones to dogs, chasing the two out like stray puppies.
What a disappointment. Would his two great disciples still maintain their dignity? If this got out, what would people say?
“Master, you are truly the person I, Zhang Erdog, admire most in my entire life,” Zhang Erdog was overjoyed, lavishing praise on Lin Fan with all his might.
“Oh, and wait until tomorrow to give them the pills. Tonight, I’m too tired. You can take them tomorrow,” Lin Fan added.
“Yes…”
Zhang Erdog and Feng Bujuex immediately exited.
“Senior Brother, what did the Master mean by that saying? I don’t quite understand,” Feng Bujuex recalled the words Lin Fan had just spoken. He felt there was profound wisdom hidden within, but some terms were unclear to him.
“How should I know? Our Master is the most incredible person. Look, he refined these pills today—how amazing is that? That saying might be a piece of life wisdom from the Master, shared with us. In my opinion, the Master must have a story behind him; otherwise, he wouldn’t say something so profound,” Zhang Erdog gazed into the night sky with reverence, feeling proud to have such a dependable master.
“Oh,” Feng Bujuex felt his senior brother’s explanation made perfect sense.
Inside the room, Lin Fan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry regarding his two disciples.
He glared fiercely at the “Big Fan Pill” in his hand. What kind of effect did this pill have that had completely captivated his two great disciples?
No, tonight he would definitely give it a try.
He was confident his willpower could handle it.
Damn it, he would take it. Who was afraid of whom? After all, he was the one who had refined it. Could it possibly overpower him?
Without hesitation, he threw a “Big Fan Pill” into his mouth.
Lin Fan sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, and the pill melted instantly upon contact with his tongue, transforming into a warm current flowing into his body.
“Come on,” he sat still, silently shouting in his heart.
…
But not long after, a sudden noise erupted from inside the wooden hut.
“Damn it, this is seriously addictive…”
