Accidentally invincible!-Chapter 244 - 0241: I Have to Eat Too
Chapter 244: Chapter 0241: I Have to Eat Too
Lin Fan didn’t think of himself as an unlucky child.
He always upheld a chivalrous heart. Whenever he witnessed injustice, he would draw his blade to help without hesitation. People like him either die young or are blessed with incredible fortune.
He was still alive up to now, which clearly proved he was someone with great fortune.
From various small incidents until now, he felt that he was indeed someone endowed with luck.
In Jiangdu City, Lord Wang valued him. A group of younger guys regarded him as their big brother. Even after joining the Immortal Sect, he had managed to recognize a powerhouse as his "mother." While traveling abroad, he stumbled upon a crazy old man who directly called him "son." Judging by all of this, could he not say that fortune was on his side?
[Acquired Spirit Root: Ninth Grade Water Spirit Root.]
Damn it!
A Ninth Grade Water Spirit Root? Why the hell did this drop? Are the heavens trying to flood my life or what?
If it had been a while back—
He would’ve definitely jumped with joy.
But now, all he wanted was for the Ancestor Dragon Floating Body to appear. With this Ninth Grade Water Spirit Root dropping, he feared the follow-up wouldn’t yield anything good anymore.
[Acquired Great Divine Power: Dragon Form Treasure Skill.]
Oh no.
Another great skill just dropped. Normally, he’d be ecstatic, but now he felt no joy whatsoever. He just wanted "Ancestor Dragon Floating Body". At this rate—
He felt uneasy.
[Acquired Supreme Great Divine Power: Ancestor Dragon Floating Body.]
Just as he was about to give up, that sweet, melodious voice rang out.
"Holy shit!"
Lin Fan clenched his fists, jumped up in excitement, and his eyes widened immensely. He felt it must’ve been the heavens listening to his prayers. They believed he was an obedient "baby" who deserved not to cry in sorrow or despair.
What’s a Supreme Great Divine Power anyway?
Here, take it.
Huff!
Huff!
Lin Fan took two deep breaths to calm his excited heart. Staying composed was now the most critical thing.
He checked the items that had dropped.
[Dragon Form Treasure Skill: A Great Divine Power of the Two-winged Serpent Tribe. This tribe’s ancestor debated with an enlightened monk for a hundred years and together created this skill. Once cultivated to its peak, the user can transform into an Ancient Buddha Dragon, gaining the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.]
[Ancestor Dragon Floating Body: A supreme Body Refinement Divine Power exclusive to the Heavenly Dragon Clan. The user’s body becomes a towering pagoda across nine heavens. Once cultivated to its peak, the physical body evolves into the Ancestor Dragon Body.]
Lin Fan could feel the transformation of his physical body, not just externally but internally, too. His bones seemed to have undergone a tempering process. His entire spine was now as hard as an unbreakable dragon, and it even seemed to be nurturing Ancestor Dragon Marrow.
He wasn’t a member of the Heavenly Dragon Clan, so he couldn’t grasp the full details.
However, now, even a Dao Artifact might find it hard to leave a scratch on him.
Moreover, as his cultivation level and mana increased, his physical body would only get stronger.
If Ao Wudi learned Lin Fan had cultivated the Ancestor Dragon Floating Body to this level, he’d probably spit a mouthful of phlegm straight on his face.
Goddamnit!
You little punk are incredible.
Just wait to be hunted down by the Sky Dragon Clan.
Currently, Lin Fan’s mana had reached 37,000 years, his realm at the Consolidation Level. If he didn’t count his Divine Skills, he could already attempt to hurdle the Three Calamities and Six Tribulations.
But gathering more Divine Skills never hurt.
"Son, let’s go."
Lin Fan’s mood was elated. A smile stretched across his face; he had finally obtained what he wanted. What more could he be dissatisfied with?
It wasn’t a loss in any sense.
From those two Demon Clan powerhouses, he had looted quite a bit of good stuff. The two even contributed 180 million Spirit Stones to him—not a small amount, though not massive either.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t find any Dao Artifacts. It seemed like those two had suffered immensely in their battle with the fiery red piglet, their Dao Artifacts directly shattered. Only a few Spiritual Artifacts remained.
Some of those even appeared to be sets of Sword Arrays. Not particularly fancy.
Taiwu Immortal Sect.
Upon returning to the mountain, Lin Fan planned to report the situation to his "mother" while also paying Ye Zhen Tian a visit to collect some Spirit Stones. Before he could do so, however, Zhang Zhenxian from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion rushed over with an anxious expression.
"Master Lin, you’re finally back! I’ve been waiting here for days!" Zhang Zhenxian exclaimed anxiously. He had been waiting at Taiwu Immortal Sect for several days, growing increasingly fretful in Lin Fan’s absence.
Lin Fan asked in surprise, "Don’t tell me you want us to go to another Forbidden Land? You guys at Heavenly Treasure Pavilion really don’t value your lives, huh?"
No way, it couldn’t be the Forbidden Land again.
If it were, there was no way he’d agree to go. Even if they offered an astronomical price, he’d still refuse. Who were they kidding? He’d only just escaped from a Forbidden Land not too long ago. He didn’t want to throw his life away.
Especially since he had just looted treasures from that fiery red piglet.
Return there immediately?
Would any sane person do that?
"No, no," Zhang Zhenxian quickly waved his hands. "Master Lin, here’s the situation: The Forbidden Land is no longer a secret. A certain powerful figure managed to obtain a Divine Medicine from within. That person is now at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, awaiting identification. Moreover, they’re planning to auction it off, so we urgently need your expertise."
Lin Fan was stunned upon hearing this.
That powerhouse couldn’t even wait a bit?
To bring the Divine Medicine to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion so quickly for identification—
And then decide to auction it?
What kind of thinking was that?
From the two Demon Clan powerhouses, Lin Fan had already looted 180 million Spirit Stones. Including his own, he now had over 250 million Spirit Stones. He wasn’t sure if it would be enough to bid for the Divine Medicine.
"Alright, no problem. Let’s go."
Lin Fan was immensely curious about that Divine Medicine and its effects.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy for that powerhouse. Truly, fortune favored the brave. Among so many competitors for a single Divine Medicine, only that person was able to claim it. Could anyone argue that they weren’t blessed by fate?
And they weren’t stupid, either.
To immediately sell off the Divine Medicine meant they probably wanted to avoid becoming a target. After all, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was the safest place to conduct such dealings.
At least personal safety was assured.
Soon after, Lin Fan learned that even the Sect Leader of Taiwu Immortal Sect had gone to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. It appeared that various major sects around the world had already gathered. Clearly, Divine Medicines held immeasurable allure.
Previously, Lin Fan thought his 250 million+ Spirit Stones might give him a fighting chance.
Now, though—
What was the point of even trying?
With entire sects mobilizing their resources for the auction, his personal wealth, while significant for an individual, looked utterly laughable in comparison.
As Lin Fan and Zhang Zhenxian were about to leave, they spotted Ye Zhen Tian wandering around the sect. Lin Fan immediately shouted out to him.
"Junior Brother Ye, after being gone for almost two months, I hope you’ve prepared those Spirit Stones I mentioned. I told you before; the moment I returned, I’d come for you."
Despite his massive fortune in Spirit Stones, Lin Fan was still obsessively fixated on the few million Spirit Stones Ye Zhen Tian owed him. Was this how a human should behave?
Ye Zhen Tian stared at his departing figure, blinking.
He had so many things he wanted to say—
But didn’t know where to start.
A debt collector?
Truly terrifying.
Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
When Lin Fan and Zhang Zhenxian arrived, they noticed the atmosphere around the pavilion felt unusually stifling, almost oppressive.
"I didn’t expect a single Divine Medicine to draw this much attention. Look at all these powerhouses gathered here—it’s made the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion downright suffocating." Lin Fan chuckled.
Zhang Zhenxian replied, "Master Lin, you’re absolutely right. Powerhouses from the Immortal, Demon, and Monster factions have all converged here. The pressure on our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion is immense. We’ve had to call in many experts to maintain order because if a conflict breaks out, the consequences would be unthinkable."
That much was true.
With such a dense concentration of powerhouses, if a fight erupted—
How many of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s experts could hold the line?
The allure of the first publicly-auctioned Divine Medicine was unimaginable.
Street vendors were loudly peddling their wares along the way.
Thanks to the recent influx of people, business for street vendors was booming. Many sects had brought their disciples to broaden their horizons, and those disciples were naturally magnets for scams.
The vendors were seasoned pros. It took no effort at all to dupe those disciples into buying overpriced junk.
Everyone wanted to uncover some treasure among the cheap knick-knacks.
Lin Fan noticed that today’s Heavenly Treasure Pavilion felt different. True Immortal powerhouses were everywhere, including many proud sons and daughters of heaven. Each and every one of them was a dragon among men.
They represented the future of major sects.
A large crowd of stunning beauties and handsome geniuses filled the area.
Arrogant, noble, sinister—every type of personality was present.
"These must be the True Disciples from the major sects, right?" Lin Fan asked.
Zhang Zhenxian replied, "Yes, exactly. They’re True Disciples from the major sects, as well as Saint Heirs and Saintesses from ancient Sacred Lands. These people are incredibly rare to see and often possess Immortal Bones. I never expected a single Divine Medicine would bring all of them here."
"These geniuses are here not just to observe but also to spar with each other."
Lin Fan smiled without commenting further. Under Zhang Zhenxian’s guidance, he reached the auction venue within the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. There, Housekeeper Mao Si greeted them and led them inside in a hurry.
Outside, the various dashing young men and women chatted amongst themselves. Upon seeing a youth, seemingly of their age, receive a respectful escort from the Housekeeper of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, their curiosity was piqued.
"Who was that just now, being escorted in by Housekeeper Mao?"
"No idea. I’ve never seen him before."
"Probably the son of some important figure within the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion."
Their discussions carried on.
It was no surprise they hadn’t recognized him.
Lin Fan was someone who kept a low profile and had only been cultivating for a few months. Compared to these individuals who had been cultivating for decades or even centuries, he was a complete newbie.
A pure rookie.
"Housekeeper Mao, what’s the situation here?" Lin Fan asked.
Mao Si replied, "Master Lin, this Divine Medicine cannot be identified by anyone but you. None of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s Identification Masters could recognize it. Furthermore, the influence of this auctioned Divine Medicine is tremendous—as you’ve likely seen on your way here. Just about every sect and faction of renown has arrived."
"Even the Pavilion Master himself came in person. Many of these sects hold grudges against one another, so there’s a significant risk of conflict breaking out. If that happens, suppressing it will be extraordinarily difficult."
Lin Fan nodded.
As they reached the innermost chamber—
A group of Identification Masters waiting inside rose and respectfully greeted him.
"Master Lin."
"Master Lin."
They were completely helpless against this Divine Medicine. Not only could they not determine its effects, but they couldn’t even properly understand its composition or nature.
Lin Fan nodded back at them before turning to Huang Lier, offering her a cheerful smile. "Fairy Huang, it seems the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion is set to make waves this time around."
"Master Lin, please go ahead and take a closer look." Huang Lier had long erased the memories of what had transpired between her and Lin Fan in the Forbidden Land. Those weren’t things she wished to remember. After all, she had been taken advantage of—who would willingly admit to such a thing?
"Alright, no problem. Let’s see the Divine Medicine now," Lin Fan said with a grin.
Examining this Divine Medicine wouldn’t be simple work.
He needed to make a living too.
Time to make some money while he was at it.
