171: Yang Lei and Lin Fan met

“Yang Yucheng, he is indeed stronger than me.”

Looking at the dark, sunless night around him, Zhao Qingrou spoke these heartfelt words from the bottom of his heart.

Being defeated by Yang Yucheng was nothing to be ashamed of.

“You are a Disciple of my Tianji Sect. Your cultivation method does not focus on combat, so defeat is acceptable. Your state of mind is your greatest challenge.”

“At Siguo Cliff, resolve the obsession in your heart, and in the future, you may yet ascend to the Upper Three Sects and enter the main Sect of Tianji Sect! For you, that is the true Great Dao!”

“Heavenly Soul Sect is, after all, somewhat unorthodox. The difficulty of successfully cultivating this Dao is unimaginable.”

“You may yet have another chance to catch up in the future.”

Mo Bufan spoke softly!

Zhao Qingrou nodded slightly.

“Thank you, Revered Master!”

He respectfully bowed to Mo Bufan.

All along the way.

Mo Bufan was not like True Person Ziyu who ignored Yang Yucheng; instead, he supported him every step of the way.

Now.

Even when Yang Yucheng punished Zhao Qingrou to come to Siguo Cliff, there were many considerations before he finally agreed.

The difference between one Revered Master and another Revered Master was that great!

Mo Bufan left.

And so.

At Siguo Cliff, only Zhao Qingrou was left alone, beginning his cultivation of the state of mind.

As the ancient saying goes, 'After three years of silence, a single cry will astonish all.'

Perhaps.

One day, Zhao Qingrou, too, would be able to, like Yang Yucheng at this moment, shake the vast Northern Region with his name, and even receive an invitation to join the Upper Three Sects.

His future was bright and limitless!

...Sect, Task Hall!

Lin Fan arrived here.

He held the Soul healing items he had just exchanged with contribution points from the Sect's treasury.

He exchanged these heavenly materials and earthly treasures to awaken his Revered Master.

Unfortunately, his contribution points were not particularly abundant, so he could only use two-thirds of them. The remaining one-third was due to his empty pockets, so he stopped there.

Lin Fan could borrow from others.

Many Elders in the Sect were also willing to give him Face.

As the next undisputed Sect Head, and with a very short waiting time, most people were willing to befriend him.

But even if he obtained the remaining one-third of the Soul healing items, it probably wouldn't have much effect!

This time!

His Revered Master was heavily injured, and to awaken him, a large amount of Soul items were necessary, so he came to the Task Hall.

To see if there was anything that could help!

“Greetings, Elder Lin!”

The Disciples of the Task Hall bowed in unison, and even the steward came to pay his respects!

“Are there any tasks related to the Soul?”

Lin Fan asked directly.

He was not afraid of revealing any information by doing so; others would not dare to easily probe him.

“Yes!”

The steward quickly nodded.

Then.

He took out all the Soul-related tasks and displayed them before Lin Fan.

And in this Task Hall.

When the Sect Disciples saw Lin Fan appear, they all regarded him as an idol and a role model, whispering endlessly.

“This is Elder Lin, the legendary person of heavenly mandate!”

“Under normal circumstances, Elder Lin should have been able to win the battle, but unfortunately, he encountered an even stronger Sect Head. However, even so, it was a glorious defeat.”

“I heard that the Sect Head will be leaving the Sect soon to go to Heavenly Soul Sect. At that time, Elder Lin will be the new Sect Head of our Sect.”

“No way? Elder Lin’s strength has not reached the Spirit Venerable Realm.”

“So what? Is there anyone in the Sect, besides the current Sect Head and Immortal Master, who is more suitable than Elder Lin? Don’t forget, that Revered Master beside Elder Lin, even those in the Spirit Venerable Realm are no match for it!”

...“Lin Fan, it’s actually you!”

Everyone was flattering Lin Fan, saying one nice thing after another.

But at this moment, an untimely and harsh sound suddenly burst out.

In this Task Hall, it seemed so abrupt, so outstanding!

Everyone reacted and immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

Originally.

They all intended to verbally attack and make a good impression in front of Lin Fan.

But upon seeing this person, they all looked constipated, silent, and truly unable to speak.

Simply because this person's identity was rather special.

It was Yang Lei, who from the very beginning had a mortal enmity with Lin Fan, and whose Dantian had been shattered!

“You actually came to the Task Hall!”

Looking at Lin Fan, Yang Lei’s eyes blazed with anger.

He clenched his fists, his eyes almost spitting fire, and he shouted word by word.

Seeing this person, Lin Fan felt no fear.

He smiled calmly and walked towards the other party with big strides.

Coming before Yang Lei, Lin Fan was neither servile nor overbearing. His attitude was not arrogant, nor did he look down on him in any way.

It was just as calm as water, no different from how he faced other Sect Disciples.

“So, it was you!”

“I admit that previously, when I shattered your Dantian, I was indeed a bit negligent. But in the past, when you did those improper things, my actions, though inappropriate in some aspects, were ultimately not wrong!”

Lin Fan did not put the Yang Lei in front of him in his eyes.

The past was no longer important. He and Yang Yucheng had already exchanged smiles, let alone a mere small fry in front of him?

Lin Fan tilted his head and thought for a moment.

He exchanged a mysterious heaven stone from the Task Hall steward.

This mysterious heaven stone.

Originally, the Sect did not have it, but with Yang Lei as a precedent, the Sect subconsciously collected some.

There happened to be two or three extra in the treasury.

It was no big deal for Lin Fan to exchange one now.

“This mysterious heaven stone is my compensation to you!”

Lin Fan handed the mysterious heaven stone to Yang Lei, and he continued with a smile, “Besides repairing the Dantian, the mysterious heaven stone can also slowly purify the Impurities within the Dantian.”

“The more it is used, although its efficacy weakens, the degree of purification can be higher. It can also be considered my apology for the inappropriateness of the situation.”

“Today, Brother Yang, would you perhaps give me some Face?”

Lin Fan said this.

Both his manners and the Sect rules were handled extremely well!

Facing such a Lin Fan, Yang Lei took a few deep breaths, and the anger in his eyes slowly receded.

He snorted lightly and snatched the mysterious heaven stone from Lin Fan’s hand!

Just as everyone thought he would seek revenge later, Yang Lei arrived at the main entrance of the Task Hall, stopped, and turned to Face Lin Fan.

“That day, that matter!”

“Did you really think I wanted to flirt with the Grand Elder’s granddaughter? Although I, Yang Lei, have committed all sorts of evil in the Sect, I know who to offend, who not to offend, and to what extent I should offend them?”

“I, this scoundrel second-generation rich kid, still have some discernment.”
