Chapter 15: I Won't Tell About a Windfall

Inside the room.

Lin Fan lay weakly on the bed, looking at the healing pills left by Senior Brother Ni Mingyang, feeling utterly terrible.

Leveling up within the sect really was unreliable; it seemed he should consider going out to stir up some trouble. But the sect rule that outer disciples couldn't go down the mountain without permission was a real headache.

Sigh...

Lin Fan sighed, then poured the pills Senior Brother Ni had left into his hand.

“Ding, discovered healing pill ‘Return Spring Pill.’ After consumption, experience +50.”

“Return Spring Pill: Common healing pill of the Holy Demon Sect, refined from Blue Fragrant Herb.”

Sigh...

Lin Fan sighed again, then shoved the pills into his mouth and crunched them down.

Then Lin Fan pulled up his data panel.

Name: Lin Fan.

Level: 11. (Postnatal Second Stage)

Experience: (7000/50000).

Technique: Titan Demon Body, Layer 19 (6000/2000000).

Stealing the Peach, Layer 10 (1400/10000).

Title: Fight If You Don't Accept (Cultivation doubles for the duration of one incense stick; one-time use title).

Looking at the experience needed for Titan Demon Body, Lin Fan felt his head ache. Two million experience—relying on beatings from these outer disciples would take forever.

Sigh...

Lin Fan sighed once more, then closed his eyes to rest well, planning to act at night.

After who knows how long.

Lin Fan felt a faint fragrance at the tip of his nose, which puzzled him greatly.

He was a grown man who never used perfume; where did the scent in the room come from?

Strange, strange.

Lin Fan opened his eyes. There was no one in the room, not even a ghost.

Huh, where did this faint fragrance come from?

Could it be that some girl sneaked into my room while I was asleep, took off my pants, fondled my little brother, and turned everything upside down?

Thinking about this, Lin Fan felt a bit scared. He checked his crotch—thankfully, it was safe, no invasion. Otherwise, he wouldn't know who to cry to.

Huh...

Lin Fan exclaimed in surprise again, picking up a jade bottle by the bed. What was this thing?

The jade bottle was very plain, with no patterns, and didn't look like any treasure.

Lin Fan picked it up and shook it. It rattled inside, as if something was in there.

Lin Fan remembered that before he slept, there was no such thing by the bed. So who put it there?

Lin Fan got up and opened the door. Outside was pitch black, with no one in sight. Unable to figure it out, he returned to the room, sat by the bed and thought for a while, but still couldn't make sense of it. Then he poured out the contents of the jade bottle.

A golden pill with a fragrant aroma; one whiff refreshed the spirit.

“Ding, congratulations on discovering the Saint-grade pill ‘Supreme Pill.’ After consumption, experience +4,000,000.”

“Supreme Pill: Refined from ten-thousand-year ice crystals from the Netherworld, essence of ten-thousand-year demon beasts, and dozens of other materials.”

“Special Effect: Grants ten-thousand-year unparalleled supreme talent and comprehension.”

Haha...

At this moment, Lin Fan, who had been groggy, suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Holy crap.

What kind of pill was this? How could it be so powerful?

Four million experience? Holy crap, four million experience!

At this moment, Lin Fan felt like he was going crazy. This was a complete windfall!

Desperate to get stronger, Lin Fan didn't hesitate. He tossed the pill into his mouth and started chewing vigorously.

Huh, it's a bit hard and won't break. Damn it, I don't believe this. Forget it, better just swallow it whole.

“Ding, consumed Saint-grade pill ‘Supreme Pill.’ Experience +4,000,000.”

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an irresistible force inside him, as if it were about to burst out.

“Ding, unlocked experience upgrade technique function.”

His body, which had been swelling, suddenly returned to normal.

Lin Fan was stunned, a bit dazed. Then he pulled up the data panel and looked carefully.

Name: Lin Fan.

Level: 11. (Postnatal Second Stage)

Experience: (7000/50000).

Stored Experience: 4,000,000. (Can level up character, can level up techniques.)

Technique: Titan Demon Body, Layer 19 (6000/2000000).

Stealing the Peach, Layer 10 (1400/10000).

Title: Fight If You Don't Accept (Cultivation doubles for the duration of one incense stick; one-time use title).

Looking at the extra four million experience, Lin Fan smiled brighter than anyone, like a sunflower.

His cultivation was still at Postnatal Second Stage, which was unbearable. As a man full of swagger, how could he tolerate such low cultivation?

No, he had to level up.

“Ding, congratulations, character level 12, Postnatal Third Stage.”

“Ding, congratulations, character level 13, Postnatal Fourth Stage.”

“Ding, congratulations, character level 14, Postnatal Fifth Stage.”

...

Lin Fan kept clicking wildly, as if nothing could stop him, like a god-killing, Buddha-slaying force.

“Ding, insufficient experience, cannot level up.”

Lin Fan, who had been clicking with glee, suddenly froze in disbelief. What the hell, he was only at Postnatal Ninth Stage and couldn't level up anymore? Was this a scam?

When Lin Fan looked closely, he found that breaking through from Postnatal Ninth Stage to Xiantian required ten million experience.

Lin Fan was dumbfounded. Was this for real?

Although he hadn't paid much attention, going from Postnatal Eighth Stage to Ninth Stage only took about two hundred thousand experience. Why did it need ten million here? This... this...

If this leveling system had customer service, Lin Fan would definitely report it—this was a total rip-off.

Looking at the remaining two million plus experience, Lin Fan didn't know what to say.

Forget it, he'd use the rest to upgrade techniques. Becoming a Postnatal Ninth Stage expert in the blink of an eye was pretty solid. If others knew, they'd probably cough blood and die.

Heh heh.

“Ding, congratulations, Titan Demon Body upgraded.”

“Ding, congratulations, Titan Demon Body reached level 20. Technique advanced to Indestructible Demon Body.”

“Ding, Indestructible Demon Body, Layer 1 (0/3000000).”

Seeing Titan Demon Body advance to Indestructible Demon Body, Lin Fan's heart nearly jumped out.

Indeed, techniques could automatically advance, and it seemed they could advance infinitely. If he had enough experience, he'd be a moving tank from now on.

Then Lin Fan dumped the remaining experience into Stealing the Peach.

Although Stealing the Peach was a very crappy technique, Lin Fan was a nostalgic person. Stealing the Peach had rendered great service. As a conscientious person, how could he abandon it? In the future, he would definitely develop Stealing the Peach and make it renowned throughout the universe.

“Ding, congratulations, Stealing the Peach upgraded.”

“Ding, congratulations, Stealing the Peach upgraded.”

At this moment, Lin Fan was very satisfied and checked his data panel again.

Name: Lin Fan.

Level: 18. (Postnatal Ninth Stage)

Experience: (0/10000000).

Stored Experience: 400. (Can level up character, can level up techniques.)

Technique: Indestructible Demon Body, Layer 1 (0/3000000).

Stealing the Peach, Layer 12 (1400/30000).

Title: Fight If You Don't Accept (Cultivation doubles for the duration of one incense stick; one-time use title).

Lin Fan smiled contentedly, trying to calm his excited heart.

He swore to heaven that he would never tell anyone about this windfall.

Just as Lin Fan was about to lie down again and indulge in a little fantasy, he noticed a note by the bed.

Lin Fan picked up the note and glanced at it, nodding repeatedly.

The handwriting was delicate, but somehow exuded a sense of domineering. No, he must be overthinking.

It must be so.

But when Lin Fan finished reading the note, his expression changed. He tossed the note aside and muttered bitterly.

“Damn, I've already eaten it all. What's the point of saying anything now...”

...

At that moment, in the pitch-black night sky, a pair of bright eyes shone like stars in the heavens, sparkling and moving.

“Oh dear, you idiot, that's not for eating.”
