Chapter 54: This Young Master Looks Down on Your Whole Family
Lihua Courtyard, this time in order to give Lin Fan a better alchemy venue, the middle-aged Confucian scholar can be said to have spent a great deal of effort, clearing out the entire Lihua Courtyard within a kilometer, just as he said, not even a single mouse would appear within a kilometer.
This time, the city master's mansion brought a Dan furnace that was two meters high and one meter wide, with a grayish-brown body. Lin Fan couldn't help but exclaim in praise when he first saw this Dan furnace, thinking to himself that the beastman empire's Dan furnaces were indeed extraordinary.
The six medicinal materials for refining the Qingling Dan were neatly arranged three meters away from the dan furnace, and the quantity surged again. Lin Fan took a rough look, and each type of herb had at least forty plants. It seemed that this city master was still very concerned about his daughter.
Without further hesitation, Lin Fan first threw the six medicinal herbs of the first batch of Qingling Dan into the two-meter dan furnace. The bottom of the dan furnace began to burn with black rocks, and the twenty hand gestures changed continuously, one by one striking towards the two-meter dan furnace.
Time flies, and Lin Fan has unknowingly spent two days refining the elixir, consuming a total of thirty portions of medicinal materials, yet still failing to successfully refine the Qingling Dan. However, Lin Fan had long since made up his mind that if he failed to refine the Qingling Dan this time, he would rather die than leave the Lihua Institute.
The dozen or so divine doctors from Wangtian City who were waiting in the great hall for Lin Fan to refine the elixir had already been chased away by the city lord's mansion, and even Tong Lao, the number one divine doctor of Wangtian City, did not continue to stay.
At dusk, two people walked slowly towards the City Lord's Mansion in Wanjing. An old man and a woman in green clothes, who were actually Du Ya, the leader of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group, and Yue Ying. Without any warning, the two entered the mansion without being detected by the four guards at the door, as if they had used some kind of mysterious power.
"Brother Kong, long time no see, I hope you've been well."
Upon hearing the voice, the middle-aged Confucian scholar's face changed slightly, but he still looked at the old man walking slowly and said: "Duyao brother, didn't you accept the Tian Shan Golden Sign task? Why do you have time to come here?"
The lord of Wangtian City is named Kongyun, also known as a high-ranking war king. However, there are very few people in Wangtian City who know that the city lord is a high-ranking war king. If this were to be discovered, especially by the imperial palace of the Daybreak Empire, they would stop at nothing to recall the war king back to the imperial capital. A war king is not someone to be trifled with, even in the imperial capital of the Daybreak Empire, where he would be a major figure who commands respect.
Du Ya's face was smiling, but to outsiders, the smile on this old man's face seemed even more unpleasant than crying. Sitting in the main hall, Du Ya did not hide anything and directly stated his intention, saying: "Brother Kong, it has been three years since we last met. This time I came to the City Master's Mansion, I believe Brother Kong should also be able to guess my intention."
He nodded, and as for the purpose of Poison Fang's visit to the city master's mansion, Kong Yun was indeed very clear in his heart. A hint of difficulty flashed across his face, and he said: "If it were before, I would have handed the person over to you without hesitation, but now, this person can cure my little girl's illness, so please forgive me, Poison Fang."
Upon hearing this, Du Yiyi didn't show the slightest anger and said: "Brother Kong, I won't make a move on him for now. Let's wait until he cures his niece's illness, then I'll take action."
"No matter what, he was always the little girl's lifesaver, I really can't bring myself to say anything bad about him..."
Before Kong Yun could finish speaking, Du Ya took out a dark yellow ball from his bosom, about the size of a fist. The entire ball emitted a strong aura, and when Kong Yun saw the ball in Du Ya's hand, he was stunned for a moment before standing up and exclaiming: "Sixth-grade Beast Dan".
That's right, the round ball in Du Ya's hand is indeed the beast dan of a sixth-grade spiritual beast. However, the only difference is that the beast dan he obtained is not a true sixth-grade beast dan, but rather the beast dan formed within the body of a fifth-grade spiritual beast before it undergoes its thunder tribulation.
It's worth noting that a fifth-level spiritual beast will always remain a fifth-level spiritual beast and can never become a sixth-level spiritual beast, even if it forms a beast dan within its body. In other words, a beast dan that has not gone through the tribulation is completely different from one that has, and the former can be called a pseudo-beast dan.
"Brother Kong has a good eye, what I have in my hand is indeed a pseudo-beast dan of a fifth-grade earth dragon. Although it's a pseudo-beast dan, I believe Brother Kong knows its value."
Looking at the Wu Ya's hand holding the fifth-grade pseudo-beast pill, Kong Yun's breathing became rapid. Now his cultivation had reached the high-level war king, and it was even more difficult to make further progress than ascending to heaven. But if he had this fifth-grade earth dragon pseudo-beast pill, everything would be different. Perhaps the boundary that he had been unable to break through for a long time could also be broken again, and at that time, he could reach the realm that every warrior dreamed of - war emperor.
"What does 'Du Ya' brother mean?" In fact, Kong Yun was very clear in his heart. Since Du Ya had already taken out the pseudo-beast Dan of the fifth-grade earth dragon, this time he must be determined to win.
"Brother Kong, I won't beat around the bush with you either. As long as you agree to two things for me, this fifth-grade earth dragon's pseudo-beast dan will be given to you for free. How about it?"
"Poisonous Teeth Brother, please speak."
"The first thing is to hand over the young man, the second thing is that I need Brother Kong's Shadowless Sword."
After hearing Du Ya's two conditions, Kong Yun fell silent, and both the first and second conditions seemed a bit harsh to him, especially the second condition, which required his Wu Ying sword.
Wuying Sword, the ancestral treasure of the Kong family, has infinite power. Even though he usually doesn't like to use Wuying Sword, as soon as he thinks of a fifth-grade Dilong Pseudo-Beast Dan, Kong Yun's heart is like being whipped violently, the temptation is really too great.
It seems that he had made up his mind, Kong Yun said with a somewhat sinister tone: "I'll agree to it, but Lin Fan must refine the Qingling Dan and completely cure the little girl's illness before I can hand her over to you".
"No problem."
The two War Kings reached a brief agreement, and if Lin Fan were to find out that he was worth so much, who knows what he would think. A five-grade earth dragon's pseudo-beast dan is equivalent to a strong warrior of the war emperor level - what kind of concept is this?
Lihua Courtyard, Lin Fan had been refining for seven days and seven nights without rest, finally consecutively refining two Clear Spirit Pills. He didn't continue to refine anymore because Lin Fan no longer had much physical strength to consume.
Two dan furnaces were placed inside the spatial ring, and Lin Fan was shocked to find that the entire spatial ring only had a black giant sword and a dan furnace, which occupied seven-tenths of the space, leaving only three-tenths of the space remaining.
With a somewhat helpless shake of his head, Lin Fan directly went to the attic, where he was led by two maids to treat the young lady of the castle. According to Lin Fan's judgment, the girl lying in bed should have been poisoned, which is why he chose Qingling Dan from among five types of medicinal pellets.
Have the maid mix the Qingling Dan with water and give it to the girl to drink. Lin Fan sat in a chair, eating and drinking, seven days and seven nights without sleep or rest. Even Lin Fan was almost unable to bear it. For now, don't worry about sleeping first, eat your fill and then talk.
Time ticked away bit by bit, and soon, footsteps came from outside the attic. Lin Fan didn't need to ask who it was; as expected, a joyful Kong Yun appeared before him, nodding at the young man sitting in the chair eating, then quickly walked over to the bed, staring intently at the girl lying on it.
"Lin brothers, how confident are you that you can cure the little girl's illness?" Seeing his daughter still unconscious, Kong Yun suddenly became anxious, after all, the greater the hope, the greater the fear of disappointment.
"Eight floors".
When he heard that the young man had eight layers of grasp, Kong Yun immediately felt at ease. At this moment, the girl who had been unconscious suddenly hummed and slowly opened her eyes, asking with a face full of ignorance: "Father, how long have I been unconscious?"
"It's been a month, my good girl, you finally woke up, your father was almost worried to death."
Seeing the girl wake up, Lin Fan also stood up and said: "Since the young lady has woken up, I'll take my leave first".
"Kong Lao, take Lin brothers down to receive their reward."
"No need, I have something urgent to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." Ever since he finished refining the Qingling Dan, he had a bad premonition that he couldn't explain. He always felt uneasy and restless, as if something was about to happen. Without staying any longer, not even wanting the reward, Lin Fan now only wanted to return to the inn with Ling Meng'er and find the three siblings of the Bai family to leave Wangtian City as soon as possible.
Lin Fan had just left, and a hint of helplessness flashed across Kong Yun's face. However, for the sake of the pseudo-beast dan of that fifth-grade earth dragon, sacrificing an outsider was nothing. At this time, Kong Jie, who was lying on the bed, asked: "Father, was it that person who just saved me?"
Nodding, Kong Yun said without any concealment: "If he hadn't offended Du Ya, I might have been able to recommend this person to the sect. But now everything is too late, and it's possible that this person has already become a corpse."
He had just left the City Lord's Manor, and the bad feeling in his heart grew stronger. Before he could even react, a fierce aura suddenly appeared, followed by a cold-faced Toxic Fang appearing outside the City Lord's Manor.
He was slapped hard, although he had the Five Elements Escape Technique, but outside the City Lord's Mansion, people came and went frequently. If others knew that he possessed such a heaven-defying divine ability, his troubles would be great in the future.
Although Lin Fan's physical defense was already very strong, he was still severely injured by the poisonous fang-like palm and spat out a large mouthful of blood, almost falling to the ground. Forcing himself to endure the internal injuries, Lin Fan said with some disdain: "A dignified War King expert, yet you sneak up from behind and launch a surprise attack. This young master despises your entire family."
"Sneak attack?" Hearing Lin Fan's words, Du Ya burst out laughing, his laughter filled with mockery. Afterwards, his voice became even colder as he said: "As the saying goes, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. As long as I win, who will say that I launched a sneak attack? And if you lose, who will sympathize with you? You're indeed a talented individual, but unfortunately, you've provoked someone you shouldn't have. I'll have to send you down to see King Yan."
