Chapter 14 Lin Fan smiled in his heart

  "I've already informed them, and I'll help your younger brother get a few pots of lucky clover back from headquarters as soon as possible, but it will take at least three days."

  In three days, Lin Fan was well aware that this was already the fastest speed of Baibao Hall. If it weren't for the extraordinary Washing Marrow Pill, even in thirty days, they might not have been able to arrive.

  Although he couldn't refine the Soul-Linking Pill before the Family Competition and his cultivation was unable to break through the War Master realm, Lin Fan still thanked Xie Baoling and casually said: "I don't have the Marrow Cleansing Pill for now, but once the Hundred Leaf Grass arrives, I will refine a kind of Soul-Linking Pill. At that time, I hope that the Treasure Pavilion can help auction it off."

  As soon as they heard the three words "Tong Ling Dan", the eyes of the four Bailian lit up, and Bailian couldn't wait to ask: "What is the effect of Tong Ling Dan?" The effect of Xi Mao Dan has already been seen by everyone, and as for this Tong Ling Dan, the four people believed that its effect would not be worse than Xi Mao Dan.

  "The medicinal effect of Tong Ling Dan is indeed stronger than Xi Mao Dan, but it can only allow a high-level warrior to accelerate the communication between himself and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth." After finishing speaking, Lin Fan's face showed a hint of emotion, but the other five people, including Lin Wushuang, all took in a breath of cold air.

  To reach the realm of a high-level warrior, one must first establish a connection between oneself and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, absorbing the spiritual energy into the dantian to form battle energy. The most difficult hurdle for a high-level warrior to overcome in order to advance to the rank of war master is establishing this connection with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

  The Tongling Dan can actually allow a high-level warrior to accelerate the communication between himself and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Such a heavenly elixir was said by Lin Fan to be nothing, leaving all five people speechless.

  What shocked him the most was Lin Wushuang, looking at his somewhat unfamiliar son, Lin Wushuang even doubted whether the young man in front of him was still his own spoiled son? Although he had a million doubts in his heart, Lin Wushuang knew very well that Baibao Hall would not lie, and to defy a war king for the sake of it, it meant that his son was worth Baibao Hall doing so.

  After seeing off the four people from Baibao Hall, Lin Wushuang asked somewhat impatiently: "What's going on after all? Is that Washing Marrow Dan and Tongling Dan really so miraculous?"

  He nodded slightly, and to his father from another world, Lin Fan had no reservations whatsoever, saying: "Dad, the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Soul Connecting Pill indeed have such effects, but I've always wanted to ask you something, hoping you can tell me today."

  It seemed like Lin Fan could guess what Lin Wushuang was going to ask, and his face suddenly turned cold. His voice was somewhat impatient as he replied, "I've already told you many times before, this matter is not to be brought up again. When the time comes for me to tell you, I naturally will."

  His breath was already disordered, Lin Wushuang quickly left, not giving Lin Fan any chance to ask again. Lin Wushuang had disappeared into the hall, leaving behind a depressed Lin Fan.

  On a pitch-black night, several frog voices wove together in response, adding a touch to this quiet night. Lin Wushuang stood on the rooftop of the Lin family house, gazing at the bright moon in the distance, with a hint of nostalgia on his face.

  The next morning, as soon as the dawn broke and the sunlight shone all over the land, the entire Sunset City was already bustling with excitement. Every single person in the city was heading towards the Sunset City Square, and from a distance, it looked like a sea of people, an impressive sight to behold.

  Today is a big day for the Sunset City, as the triennial Family Competition is about to begin. In addition to the six major old-brand families participating, other small families in the Sunset City will also participate.

  Early in the morning, Lin Fan was already dressed and ready to set off. Although Lin Wushuang had told him twice that he didn't need to participate in the family competition, as a true son of the Lin family with a heroic spirit, would Lin Fan avoid it?

  Without letting others follow him, Lin Fan stepped out of the Lin family's gate and walked on the quiet streets. He found that he seemed to have grown fond of this kind of life, a mysterious and thrilling alien world that gave him an unprecedented feeling.

  At this moment, a sense of danger reappeared in Lin Fan's perception, his heart skipped a beat, and without any guesswork, Lin Fan already knew who had arrived. With a somewhat disdainful tone, he said: "The tragic War King, since you're here, please show yourself."

  "Who are you calling a tragedy?" The man in black walked slowly, although Lin Fan couldn't see the expression on his face, he could be sure that at this moment, the man in black must have had a gloomy face. After all, no one wanted to be called a tragedy, let alone a powerful warrior king.

  With a deep sigh, Lin Fan said with some disdain: "Sometimes I really doubt it, why a powerful war king always does things like a thief, can't you just be upright and honest for once without dying?"

  Lin Fan was actually extremely depressed in his heart. No matter what, the black-clothed man was a genuine and powerful warrior king who could be called invincible in the entire Lu Ri City, and he could sweep through every person in Lu Ri City with his powerful strength. So why did the black-clothed man insist on assassination? Was he afraid of himself?

  Lin Fan smiled to himself at the thought, but upon hearing his words, the black-clothed man became enraged, stretching out his hand in a palm shape and rapidly advancing towards Lin Fan. Palm after palm was swiftly swung out, with wave after wave of battle energy instantly erupting forth and rushing towards Lin Fan.

  Before Lin Fan could unfold the Five Elements Escape, a series of sonic booms suddenly came from behind him. Two types of battle auras collided in mid-air, crackling and popping incessantly, before finally merging into space and disappearing without a trace.

  Not far away, an old man walked slowly, with a few strands of white hair disheveled and floating behind him, three strands of white whiskers flowing down, the old man's face was rosy, giving people a sense of immortal elegance.

  "Who are you? Why did you intervene in my affairs?" The black-clothed man was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the old man. The old man could project his aura to injure his enemies from a distance, clearly another powerful warrior. What puzzled the black-clothed man was why the old man had intervened, since apart from Lin Wushuang, there wasn't another powerful warrior in the Lin family.

  "Lin Fan is a distinguished guest of Baibao Hall, and I hope you will not lay hands on him again in the future." After hearing the old man's words, Lin Fan thought to himself that it was indeed as expected. He thought that his elder sister Bailian was really considerate, actually sending a powerful warrior king to protect him. With the old man's protection, Lin Fan no longer needed to fear assassination by the black-clad men from then on.

  When he heard the three words "Bai Bao Tang", the man in black seemed to be slightly surprised, he really couldn't think of it, the Lin family actually climbed up to Bai Bao Tang as a backer, but even if Bai Bao Tang stepped out, could he let the Lin family off?

  A cold smile in his heart, the man in black didn't say another word, but retreated step by step, and disappeared into the distance in an instant. Looking at the old man in front of him, Lin Fan thanked: "Thank you, sir, for saving my life."

  The old man nodded slightly, his face always with an expression of being unperturbed by changes, as if he was quite appreciative of Lin Fan. The old man looked left and right, up and down, from head to toe, just when Lin Fan thought the old man might be gay, the old man suddenly said: "Can you really refine the Tongling Dan?"

  Lin Fan was completely stunned by the old man's abrupt and inexplicable words, thinking to himself that this old man was indeed very direct, but then again, if it weren't for the old man's help earlier, it wouldn't have been easy to scare off the black-clothed men.

  It's true that eating from others' mouths makes one's words shorter, no matter how you put it, the old man had helped himself out greatly, so Lin Fan nodded and said: "As long as there is Hundred Leaf Grass, the Tong Ling Dan shouldn't be a problem".

  After hearing his words, the old man seemed to be satisfied and turned around to leave. A faint voice slowly came over, "In the future, you can call me Old Na. As for your safety, don't worry, there's Baibao Hall protecting you. That blind black dog won't dare make a move."

  Looking at the old man who had already disappeared, Lin Fan was a bit shocked. He didn't expect that the old man's name would actually be Lao Na, and he called the black-clothed man "Black Hair", which was too damn creative, making it impossible for people not to admire him.

  Lin Fan knew that with Old Na's protection, the black-clothed man wouldn't dare to make another move without absolute certainty. He hummed a tune as he walked slowly towards the square. Without the threat of the black-clothed man, Lin Fan felt incredibly relieved. After all, being stared at by a war king at every moment wasn't something anyone would find comfortable.

  On the vast square, a giant arena with a length and width of 50 meters was set up in the middle. At the front sat the city master Liu Nan Tian and the heads of the six major families. On both sides were the heads of more than a dozen small families from Luoshi City, including the five families that had framed Lin Fan.

  Looking at the head of the Lin family sitting next to him, Sun Nan, the head of the Sun family, said with a somewhat sarcastic tone: "Brother Lin, I wonder if your esteemed son will participate in this family competition?"

  Listening to Sun Nan's words, all the family heads turned their heads to look at Lin Wushuang. This time, the family competition can be said to be set up entirely for the Lin family. As long as Lin Fan is defeated, the Lin family will not only have to give up Shi Fang, but may also be jointly expelled from Lu Ri City by other families in the future. Therefore, everyone hopes to get Lin Wushuang's answer.

  Lin Wushuang's face was slightly sunken, but he didn't answer Sun Nan's question. The five major families had set a trap together, and Lin Wushuang wouldn't be unaware of it. His own son was in what state, he knew better than anyone else. Although Lin Fan's current cultivation had reached the middle-level warrior realm, the heirs of the five major families were all high-level warriors.

  A high-level warrior against a mid-level warrior, unless there's an accident, the outcome is without a doubt. Although Lin Wushuang didn't want to see the Lin family's foundation destroyed in an instant, he even more couldn't let his own son take risks.

  "Lin brother, although we all know what kind of person Lord Gongzi is, after all, he's still a man and as a man, he should take on the responsibilities that come with being a man, don't you think? Lin brother."

  Before Lin Wushuang could speak, a lazy voice suddenly rang out: "Whether I am a man or not doesn't need to be judged by Master Sun. As for whether Master Sun is a man, I have my doubts. Recently, I heard a rumor that Master Sun has a tendency towards homosexuality. I don't know if the rumor is true or not? Please come out and clarify it, Master Sun."
