Chapter 9 Spent the whole night in the toilet

  To elevate one's martial arts to the realm of a war master, one must connect with the link between oneself and heaven and earth, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the dantian qihai to form battle energy, which can be circulated to the body surface for protection or onto weapons to enhance strength.

  Now Lin Fan's cultivation has just broken through the senior warrior, to go further, he must communicate with the connection between heaven and earth and himself, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the dantian to form the battle gas. The warrior and the war master are a watershed, and the cultivation reaches the realm of the war master, which also means that the warrior has truly powerful strength.

  If he cultivates normally, Lin Fan doesn't know when he can communicate with the connection between heaven and earth. The family competition is imminent, although Lin Fan has absolute confidence in himself, but what if other five families come out to make things difficult at that time, it's hard to deal with just relying on the warrior's strength.

  So, in order to quickly raise his cultivation to the level of a war master, there is only one shortcut, that is the Tongling Dan recorded in the Black Tower. The Tongling Dan, as its name suggests, is an elixir that communicates with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After taking the Tongling Dan, it can make oneself quickly communicate with heaven and earth, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the dantian qihai to form a war gas.

  From morning till dusk, Lin Fan had been refining the Tong Ling Dan but still hadn't succeeded. He persisted all along, and out of ten portions of medicinal materials, only the last one was left. With a faint sigh in his heart, Lin Fan didn't continue to refine it anymore because he clearly knew that even if he continued to refine it for ten days and nights, wasting hundreds of portions of herbs, it would still be impossible to succeed.

  The reason why he couldn't successfully refine the Tongling Dan was that Lin Fan knew it was because of the eighteen kinds of medicinal herbs required to refine the Tongling Dan, and he had only collected seventeen of them. The last one, Baile Grass, was nowhere to be found.

  In the end, Lin Fan had no choice but to use red cedar leaves as a substitute. He thought that the medicinal properties of the two herbs were similar, and using red cedar leaves instead of hundred-leaf grass to refine the Tongling Dan should be successful. However, Lin Fan was too optimistic.

  After cleaning up the scene, Lin Fan had already made a decision. No matter what method he used, he must find the Bailingcao as soon as possible. After all, if he wanted to refine the Tongling Dan, it was obvious that he couldn't do without the Bailingcao.

  Call Lin Yu Xin and Lin Fan the two left Lin's house, as for where the sunset city has pampas grass, Lin Fan is very clear in his heart that this sworn sister of his knows more than he does.

  "I seem to have heard of the Hundred Leaf Grass at Baibao Hall back then, but as for whether it still exists now, I don't know," Lin Yu thought to herself, feeling delighted that Lin Fan was willing to help her, thinking that her efforts over the years had finally paid off.

  "Now that Baibao Hall has the Hundred Leaf Grass, let's hurry up and go," Lin Fan heard that Baibao Hall had the Hundred Leaf Grass he needed, his heart suddenly filled with joy, and he quickly pulled Lin Yuxin's small hand and disappeared into the crowd.

  Baibao Hall, the first auction house in Luoshen City, is extremely powerful. Even if the lord of Luoshen City comes to Baibao Hall, he must be polite and courteous, because it is said that the behind-the-scenes boss of Baibao Hall is the Baibao Business House of the Longteng Empire. As one of the two major business houses of the Longteng Empire, the power of the Baibao Business House can be imagined.

  The Treasure Hall is located in the center of Luoshen City, a three-story building with pure white color, which is the tallest building in Luoshen City. In front of the gate of the Treasure Hall, there are two golden lions made of gold, each with eyes embedded with night pearls. At night, the eyes of the two golden lions emit red light, which is dazzling.

  Six beautiful women, identical in figure and height, stood at the entrance of Baibao Hall, specially set up to serve customers. As soon as Lin Fan and his companion arrived at the entrance, two seductive women came forward to greet them.

  The Lu family, just like a golden signboard, is one of the six major families and controls a stone archway. Their wealth is naturally not to be underestimated. The Baibao Hall saw that both the young master and second miss of the Lin family had arrived together, so they couldn't afford to slack off.

  As Lin Fan entered the Baibao Hall, his eyes lit up. The entire interior of the hall presented a rustic atmosphere, with wafts of fragrance assailing his nostrils and invigorating his spirit.

  "Lin Shao, Second Miss, wait for the auction at Baibao Hall, I hope you two can get what you need," a stunningly beautiful woman said softly, her sweet voice almost making Lin Dashi's bones go soft.

  He nodded slightly, and then Lin Fan and the two were arranged to a separate room on the second floor. From the room looking down, it was clear at a glance that Baibao Hall had three floors in total. The first floor was for ordinary people, the second floor was prepared for the major families of Luoshi City, and as for the third floor, Baibao Hall had never made it public, and until now, it was still an enigma.

  The entire first floor wasn't very crowded, with at most two-thirds of the seats occupied. On stage, an elderly man dressed in a simple yet elegant attire smiled warmly as he gazed out at the crowd below. In a loud and clear voice, he declared: "I am Ge Lao, the Golden Auctioneer of Baibao Hall. Welcome, everyone, to Baibao Hall! Today, we have three items up for auction. I hope they will meet with your satisfaction. Let us begin with the first item."

  As the old man spoke, the noisy hall suddenly fell silent, with everyone looking at the golden plaque auctioneer on stage, wondering what good things Baibao Hall would bring out for auction this time.

  The old man tapped the auction hammer lightly in his hand and said with great satisfaction: "Today, the first item to be auctioned off by Baibao Hall is the Celestial Silkworm Robe. Once worn, it makes one immune to swords and knives. The base price for the Celestial Silkworm Robe is 300,000 gold coins. Let the bidding begin."

  30,000 gold coins?

  When they heard the base price, everyone on the first floor let out a cry of surprise. What three thousand gold coins represented was clear to everyone - ten gold coins were enough for an ordinary family to live comfortably for several months, and thirty thousand gold coins was not something that even a small family could easily produce. Now, this auction of a Heavenly Silkworm outfit had a base price of thirty thousand gold coins, which was just too exaggerated.

  Some people may find it expensive, but others don't mind. Take Lin Shao for example, from the moment he laid eyes on this piece of Tian Can silk, Lin Fan had already made up his mind to buy it no matter what and give it to Lin Yu Xin as a gift, haha, also to win over the beauty's heart.

  "Forty thousand gold coins."

  "40,000 gold coins, someone upstairs offered 40,000 gold coins, is there anyone who can offer more than 40,000 gold coins?"

  When Lin Fan shouted out 40,000 gold coins, Lin Yu was startled and looked at the young man beside him with some confusion, not knowing why he wanted to spend 40,000 gold coins on a piece of clothing. To think that 40,000 gold coins were half a year's financial income for the Lin family's stone workshop, and with Lin Fan's one sentence, the 40,000 gold coins instantly disappeared.

  Forty thousand gold coins was already a sky-high price, and Lin Fan had also done so to prevent others from competing with him for the Heavenly Silkworm Robe. When everyone saw that the one shouting the price on the floor above was the young master of the Lin family, even if someone wanted to bid, they would have to weigh their own status carefully.

  As the third hammer fell, Lin Fan obtained the Heavenly Silkworm Robe worth 40,000 gold coins. Next up for auction was a piece of military equipment, which didn't interest Lin Fan much. In the end, it sold for 48,000 gold coins.

  Inside the room, looking at Lin Yuxin's painful face, Lin Fan handed over the pure white Tiancan clothes that had already been sent. Looking at the Tiancan clothes in his hand, everything was clear to Lin Yuxin.

  He had spent 40,000 gold coins to buy the Celestial Silkworm Robe for her. Gently stroking the robe in his hand, Lin Yuxin's heart was filled with happiness at this moment. Never mind the 40,000 gold coins, his heart was worth more than 400,000 gold coins.

  Soon, the three items auctioned off today have all been sold, but there is no clover that Lin Fan wants. He has an unfulfilled wish and subsequently sends a servant to call the person in charge, determined to get the clover today.

  A few minutes later, a woman in light blue clothing walked slowly over. The woman was about twenty-five or six years old, and although her beauty was not quite on par with Lin Yuxin's, she had a unique temperament that gave people a sense of flowing water.

  "I'm the person in charge of Baibao Hall, you can call me Bailin. I don't know what Lin Shao wants to see me about?"

  Lin Fan wasn't surprised at all that the woman in front of him could recognize him, after all, as the young master of one of the six major families in Luoshan City, the Lin family, even though the Lin family was no longer as prosperous as it used to be, its financial resources were still impressive, owning a stone courtyard was proof of that.

  As the master of Baibao Hall, Bailian had already memorized all the wealthy people in Luocheng, especially the young masters of those wealthy families who were extravagant and spent money like water. For Baibao Hall, such dandies were the most welcome guests.

  Lin Fan didn't hide anything and directly said: "I need the Hundred Leaf Grass, no matter what the cost".

  "Centipede grass, three months ago we did get a few strains at Baibao Hall, but they were auctioned off. Now Lin Shao urgently needs it, and the only way is to call them from headquarters, but as for the time..."

  When Lin Fan heard that he could get Ba Ye Cao from Bai Bao Tang, his heart suddenly felt a surge of joy. He asked, "How long will it take to retrieve the Ba Ye Cao from headquarters?"

  Half a month

  When Lin Fan heard that it would take half a month to fetch the Hundred Leaf Grass from headquarters, he felt somewhat displeased. Tomorrow was the day of the Family Competition, and he had originally thought that by obtaining the Hundred Leaf Grass in Baibao Hall, he could refine the Tongling Dan and raise his cultivation to the level of a War Master. If it were before, half a month wouldn't be too long, but for the current Lin family, half a month was really too long.

  He took out the only remaining pellet of Washing Marrow Dan from his bosom and said, "This is Washing Marrow Dan. After taking it, anyone below a mid-level warrior can immediately wash their marrow and meridians, achieving the realm of a high-level warrior."

  Lin Fan took out the Washing Marrow Dan, and before Bailiing could speak, Lin Yu Xin had already hastily cried out that it was impossible. If it were before yesterday, she would not have thought that such a small pill would have such an amazing effect. Until after taking it yesterday, Lin Yu Xin first suffered greatly, then spent the entire night in the bathroom. By the time she got up the next day, what made Lin Yu Xin feel extremely surprised was that her cultivation had actually increased, jumping from the initial warrior realm to the advanced warrior realm, a full two-level leap.
