Starting As A Clan Leader: My Rules Are A Bit Wild

Chapter 40: Lin Fan's Breakthrough, Grotto-Heaven Realm Battle Power!

"But, how wonderful~!"

"The more trump cards you have, the stronger I become after sharing them."

"In this state, whether it's formation, divination, or those mysterious techniques, they are all stronger than Fan Jianqiang..."

Although Lin Fan knew he should remain calm, he couldn't help but grin widely.

"After all, my cultivation is higher after sharing, so using these methods will make me stronger."

"But if we were to fight one-on-one, it's most likely that I would be the one hanging."

"After all, I'm the one who's surviving. Until his dying moment, who knows how many trump cards he still has?"

But Lin Fan knew very well that this was only temporary.

After all, all survivors are powerful, that's inevitable. And with a bit of trump card support, it's standard to fight beyond one's level. Or rather, for all protagonists, fighting beyond one's level is standard.

Damn it~

He himself is not the only one who can share his battle power with others.

Even if he takes on another disciple later, there is still Xiao Ling'er!

Before this, Xiao Ling'er may have been hindered in her cultivation progress by the "old man in the necklace," resulting in her only being at the Condensing Essence realm, Sixth Layer.

But as long as she is given time, she can definitely catch up and become "Version T0."

Version T0!

To put it in more cultivation terms, it means having an invincible presence among peers, the possibility of suppressing an era, and the possibility of being an extraordinary genius.

When she develops, she may not necessarily be weaker than Fan Jianqiang in a one-on-one fight!

Moreover, there is himself?!

His own talent is indeed nothing, he doesn't understand survival, and he doesn't have the passionate blood of the Flame Emperor template. But as long as he shares their talents...

And then shares their battle power~

In the end, his realm will definitely crush Fan Jianqiang. At that time, under absolute strength, those "bit of trump cards" may not have much effect.

The protagonist template is indeed powerful, but it doesn't mean absolute invincibility.

In the end, it's just having an invincible presence among peers. As for himself, cough cough.

He is their senior, after all!

"So, I must survive."

"At the moment, the biggest crisis may arrive in three to five days, or it may take ten days or half a month, right?"

"Before that, I have to work hard to cultivate and strive to break through as soon as possible!"

"If I can have the battle power of the Fourth Realm, and the Elder successfully breaks through to the Fifth Realm, there is a great hope of getting through this crisis!"

"As for Fan Jianqiang... his previous suggestion of feng shui and divination should be for the sake of stability."

"As for Xiao Ling'er... it's better not to count on her until it's a life-or-death moment. After all, it's unclear how much the old man in her necklace has recovered. Maybe it's not even one in ten thousand, and she might fall back into a deep sleep."

After calculating for a moment, Lin Fan calmed down.

Just as he was about to cultivate, Xiao Ling'er came to seek an audience outside the door.

"Master."

"Come in."

Lin Fan waved his hand, and the door opened on its own.

"Master."

Xiao Ling'er respectfully bowed and then presented a jade bottle, saying, "This is the Profound Essence Pill that I refined during the alchemy competition."

"It's a Ninth Grade pill, which I don't need now, so I'm handing it over to you, Master."

Lin Fan took it, played with the jade bottle, and pondered, "If it's insincere, I won't discuss it. I currently need this pill very much, and our Embracing Moon Sect is facing a great enemy..."

"But I will remember this favor and will not let you down."

He really wanted it.

But he didn't want to take advantage of her, so he simply accepted it.

Exchanging sincerity for sincerity, at least for the "Flame Emperor," there would be no mistakes.

"Master, you're overestimating me. The sect has shown great kindness to me, and I am not an ungrateful person. I will definitely consider the sect's interests! Besides, I am not arrogant."

Xiao Ling'er was extremely happy to see Lin Fan accept it and smiled, "If I go all out, a Ninth Grade Profound Essence Pill is nothing difficult for me. Once we get through this crisis, as long as there are suitable materials, I can easily and in large quantities refine them! Even a Ninth Grade Grotto-Heaven Pill is not impossible..."

"You have the intention."

Lin Fan smiled, "I naturally believe in your alchemy talent."

"In the future, our sect's pills will rely on you. At that time, I hope you won't get tired of it."

"I will never!"

Xiao Ling'er straightened her chest.

Although Lin Fan's words would bring her a lot of trouble, she didn't feel any resentment. On the contrary, she felt very happy and fulfilled!

After chatting for a while, Xiao Ling'er left satisfied.

She wasn't afraid of anything else, just afraid that the master wouldn't accept the elixirs.

Fortunately, Lin Fan wasn't as "face-conscious" as the elder, which made Xiao Ling'er very happy.

And she also gained the master's approval again. At this moment, she felt motivated.

······

"For me, besides the 'grandfather in the necklace,' did you hold back anything?"

Watching Xiao Ling'er's figure disappear into the distance, Lin Fan was quite satisfied.

Xiao Ling'er had obviously revealed everything!

And who would reveal such things if not someone they absolutely trusted?

"It also reminded me that I can share her alchemy skills. I can also refine these elixirs, but I don't have a pill furnace or spirit medicine."

Lin Fan smiled slightly, "And also, if I have disciples to refine for me, why should I do it myself? Isn't it better to focus on cultivation?"

As the sect master, how can I do everything myself?

I have to know how to use people!

At this moment, Lin Fan suddenly remembered a news story from his previous life...

A certain housewife had been married for seven years and always believed that her husband couldn't cook because he had always said so. Until one day, while cleaning the house, she found his top chef certificate!

Ahem.

"Scumbag~"

No, wait, am I scolding myself?

"The only regret is that their alchemy skills cannot be 'stacked'."

Alchemy skills are different from cultivation.

Strong is strong, weak is weak.

If someone is two stages stronger than you, they are almost completely superior in all aspects.

When the two are combined, the weaker one will be almost completely overshadowed and unable to stack.

So, Lin Fan's alchemy skills, estimated to be equal to Xiao Ling'er's, are difficult to surpass in this lifetime.

But it's not impossible, in case there is an unexpected encounter one day.

······

"Xiao Ling'er's character, integrity, and affection for the Embracing Moon Sect are not a concern, but Fan Jianqiang still needs some guidance."

"After this battle."

Lin Fan was certain. Afterward, the Embracing Moon Sect would definitely have a battle, or even several battles.

"Take medicine, cultivate!"

"Every bit of strength increases the chance of victory!"

"And with the means of hiding my cultivation, I can also conceal my own strength."

Lin Fan smiled, no longer hesitating, taking medicine and cultivating.

Boom!

The Ninth Grade Profound Essence pill was full of power, and even if someone at the Ninth Layer of the Profound Essence realm took it, the effect would be excellent. Lin Fan was only at the First Layer of the Profound Essence realm.

As the pill entered his stomach, the medicinal power instantly erupted!

Lin Fan felt his dantian, even his entire body, his Profound Gate, and meridians throbbing with intense pain.

His cultivation was skyrocketing like cheating...

In the middle of the night, the medicinal power of a Ninth Grade Profound Essence pill was almost exhausted.

Lin Fan didn't hesitate at all and took another one.

At dawn, Lin Fan opened his eyes.

He... had broken through!

Profound Essence realm, Second Layer!

"Indeed, Fan Jianqiang's talent is not weaker than Xiao Ling'er's. When their talents are combined, along with my insignificant talent..."

"But the most important thing is treating the Ninth Grade Profound Essence pill like candy, eating two pills in one night, allowing me to break through overnight."

"Wonderful!"

Lin Fan was excited.

"Battle power, fusion!"

Boom!

An even more astonishing aura spread throughout the Cave Mansion.

"The Fourth Realm, Grotto-Heaven, achieved!"
