Last night, Lin Fan did something that made him feel guilty, and he felt a bit sad inside. However, this feeling was temporary. By the time he stepped outside, his spirit had already been uplifted.
Although nowadays, aside from the Top Ten Outstanding Outer Sect Disciples, the rest were rather unremarkable, even the smallest mosquito was still meat. While they could no longer provide much experience for “Indestructible Demon Body,” they were still perfect for the “Monkey Steals Peaches” technique.
When Lin Fan arrived outside the cafeteria, his bright eyes scanned around, wondering what might happen today. He was actually quite excited.
“Huh?”
At that moment, Lin Fan noticed something happening ahead and his heart leapt with joy—experience-earning targets were waving at him.
Quickening his pace, Lin Fan shouted, “Senior Brothers, don’t quarrel! Let this junior brother help you resolve it!”
The two disciples who had been arguing turned to glance at him, and immediately their faces turned pale with terror.
“Run! It’s him! Lately, many senior and junior brothers have fallen victim to him!”
The two, who had been arguing furiously just moments ago, suddenly became like old friends who hadn’t seen each other in ages. They slung their arms around each other’s shoulders and immediately fled, not even waiting for Lin Fan to finish shouting behind them.
“What the heck?” Lin Fan stood there stunned, completely baffled by what had just happened.
Sighing deeply, Lin Fan shook his head. This unexpected situation had caught him completely off guard.
But Lin Fan’s heart was strong. A temporary setback wouldn’t stop his progress.
He continued forward, searching for new opportunities.
To Lin Fan, even though the Outer Sect was generally peaceful, arguments and fights still happened frequently, so he wasn’t worried about having nothing to do.
This time, Lin Fan’s eyes lit up again as he approached, but he was more cautious this time. He walked directly in front of the two arguing disciples and attempted to inquire about the situation.
However, something rather awkward occurred.
The moment the two disciples saw Lin Fan, their expressions changed drastically, as if they had seen a ghost.
“Peach-Stealing Maniac…”
One disciple blurted out, then immediately realized what he had said, clamped his mouth shut in fear, and fled without hesitation.
Lin Fan, who had been quite enthusiastic just moments ago, also changed expression upon hearing those words, his face showing disbelief.
Peach-Stealing Maniac?
Was that referring to him?
“You…” Lin Fan felt a surge of joy. How had he already earned such a nickname in the Outer Sect so soon? “Peach-Stealing Maniac”—not bad, not bad at all.
But when Lin Fan tried to call them back, they ran off like they had seen a ghost.
Lin Fan helplessly sighed. Could it really be true that his reputation in the Outer Sect had become this terrifying?
Unscientific. Simply unscientific.
…
By the end of the day, Lin Fan’s originally enthusiastic mood had completely turned into helplessness.
Now, every Outer Sect disciple who saw him ran away like they had seen a ghost. At the mere sight of him, they immediately retreated.
Other disciples, upon seeing him, became even more cautious than before, as if fearing they might be “peach-stolen” by him.
Lin Fan sighed again. It seemed that his usual tactics wouldn’t work anymore among the Outer Sect disciples.
He would need to change strategies in the future.
At this moment, Lin Fan thought of the Top Ten Outstanding Outer Sect Disciples. It seemed he should go check them out sometime.
If these top disciples had excessively high cultivation, beyond what his “Indestructible Demon Body” could handle, he would need to wait a bit.
But if he could handle them, then he would definitely get some mocking in.
…
At night.
Lin Fan sneaked out mysteriously. The area was nearly deserted, and most disciples in the sect had already gone to sleep, giving Lin Fan the chance to begin his forging journey.
During the day, Lin Fan had been thinking: perhaps this secondary profession was based on equivalent exchange. After all, how could one forge a divine weapon using only bricks?
So Lin Fan planned to test this theory the next day. Tonight, he would just use bricks to level up. His secondary profession, “Craftsman,” had already reached level seven.
If he worked hard tonight, he might successfully reach level eight.
Lin Fan arrived at a residence belonging to an unknown disciple and made sure to only dismantle the walls, not the house itself.
“Ding! Congratulations on forging a broken brick. Experience +1.”
“Ding! Congratulations on forging a pile of mud. Experience +1.”
…
Experience continued to increase slowly. The materials were still just bricks and mud, but Lin Fan had already accepted the situation. Perhaps, as he had suspected, nothing valuable could be forged from trash.
The night was beautiful, the surroundings peaceful. At this moment, Lin Fan worked like a diligent little bee.
One brick after another was thrown into the furnace. Once a wall was completely destroyed, Lin Fan would move to another location.
“Ding! Congratulations on forging a broken brick. Experience +1.”
“Ding! Congratulations on forging a broken brick. Experience +1.”
…
As dawn gradually approached, Lin Fan stopped his work and prepared to sneak away. Tonight had been productive—he had destroyed four walls.
His secondary profession, “Craftsman,” had already reached level nine, just a small step away from the next level.
Before leaving, Lin Fan casually picked up one last brick. He decided to call it a day. Although the secondary profession didn’t seem important at first glance, Lin Fan, who had played many games before, knew that secondary professions were often the most powerful. If he could reach the peak, it would be an instant game-changer.
Lin Fan threw the final brick into the furnace without much thought and stood up to leave. After all, he was certain it would just become another broken brick.
“Ding! Congratulations on forging the Supreme Divine Artifact ’95 Great Red Brick.'”
“Ding! Congratulations on forging the Supreme Divine Artifact. Craftsman Level +1.”
“Ding! Congratulations! Craftsman Level 10 has advanced to Master Craftsman.”
“Ding! Congratulations on forging the Supreme Divine Artifact. Character Experience +8,000,000.”
“Ding! Congratulations! Character Storage Space has been unlocked.”
…
Lin Fan, who had been preparing to leave, froze completely upon hearing these notification sounds.
“What the hell… I got a legendary item!”
At this moment, Lin Fan could hardly believe his ears. It felt like a dream. He had already completely lost hope in bricks, because no matter how hard you tried, you couldn’t forge a diamond from a pile of mud—it was just a completely different level.
But now, Lin Fan was incredibly excited. After countless days of destroying countless bricks, just as he was about to give up and return, he had forged a divine artifact. What were the odds? It was like the heavens had finally opened their eyes.
Without thinking twice, Lin Fan suppressed his excitement and ran back as fast as he could. No matter what, he needed to return and examine everything carefully. If he were seen by Outer Sect disciples here, it would be impossible to explain.
Back in his room, Lin Fan immediately locked the door and excitedly threw himself onto the bed.
Reaching level ten in the Craftsman profession marked the completion of one stage. Now he had advanced to Master Craftsman, and had gained eight million experience points from forging the divine artifact—far more than the experience he had gained from consuming that “Supreme Pill.” It was almost unbelievable.
If he gained another million or so experience points, he could break through to the Innate realm.
Once he entered the Innate realm, he would truly embark on the path of cultivation. All things previously thought impossible would become possible after reaching the Innate realm.
As for the character storage space, Lin Fan assumed it was similar to an inventory system in a game, used for storing items.
All of these were great rewards in Lin Fan’s eyes. He rubbed his hands together excitedly and began to carefully examine the Supreme Divine Artifact.
