Chapter 80: Setting a Short-Term Goal

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Standing amongst the corpses, Lin Fan stared into a distance, looking slightly down. He sighed and waved goodbye to the enemies that had died at his hands.

He thought that the midget Bai Shi was an outstanding cultivator, but the outcome proved Lin Fan wrong and that it was all his wishful thinking.

With just one attack, most of Bai Shi was turned into a mash. What can I do? I did not wish for this to happen either.

He took a look at the blood and remains on the ground. What needs to be done has to be done.

I’m a poor child, taking from the dead is not a bad way for me to earn.

However, it’s not an easy task to find his possessions now. I’m regretting my method of killing him. I should have let him die in one piece so that I would not have to fumble around this bloody mash!

My body can still function well though, and I have stopped using Cruel Blood. Even though there are some residual effects, I can leave that for later. It’s more important that I do the things I need to do first.

Let me check my points, I’m in such a great mood!

6,760 points.

200 points for an Earth Star Border Stage One and 300 for an Earth Star Border Stage Two.

There isn’t a large difference between the two stages. It seems that, in terms of points, quality matters more than quantity.

Anyway, Mountain Quake Energy is not bad. It doubled my strength.

The force I used to kill Bai Shi is great! An Earth Star Border Stage Two like him was unable to even take a single attack and is now a pile of mincemeat!

I’m impressed with my ability! How powerful will I be in the future if I’m already this powerful now?

Taking the possessions of the dead starts now.

Lin Fan’s first target was Bai Shi. Even though he’s now mash, I am still going to fumble through the pile and get all his possessions. But I’m speechless though. How can someone be that short that he’s nothing now with just one smash?

“Eh?” Just then, a ring came into Lin Fan’s vision. It’s Bai Shi’s storage ring! Lin Fan’s eyes shone.

I’m so excited about this. Please do not let it be disappointing.

“Open!

“Damn!” When Lin Fan saw the contents, his heart raced. Rich. He’s indeed rich.

There were about ten bottles of pills, a huge stack of cash, and two skillsets.

Skin Changing Collection, Mortal high-class skillset.

Violent Body, Mystic low-class skillset.

Other than the previous elder he found in the forest, Bai Shi’s storage ring brought him the most happiness.

However, this Skin Changing Collection is useless. It only has one function, and there’s nothing it can do other than helping evil cultivators hide under a new skin.

But this Violent Body is good. I do not have enough points now, so it can only come later.

It was a hassle to search for the storage rings belonging to the other evil cultivators. Luckily, Lin Fan managed to earn quite a bit even though they did not possess as much wealth as Bai Shi.

Escape from the scene!

The next day, a few figures could be seen coming from afar. As soon as they arrived at the scene, the unbearable smell of blood filled their noses. All of them pinched their noses to deal with it.

“They are all dead?” a man in a gray robe asked. Only his fingers that were pinching his nose were exposed to the air, and black colored patterns could be seen on them. He felt his heart break when he saw the scene.

“My Lord, they are all dead.” The men around him observed their surroundings and answered when they were sure that nobody was left alive and there weren’t any intact corpses to be seen. What did they experience? Did they come across a beast who likes to disassemble people?

“Where’s Bai Shi?” the man asked coldly. Feeling his unhappiness, everyone around him took a step back and stared at the ground, afraid to look at him.

“My Lord, he’s under your feet.”

The man looked down and lifted his feet to see gooey substances and blood on his shoes. To the side, he could see half of Bai Shi’s face, and his only eye left that recorded the fear he experienced right before his death.

“How did this…?”

The man was unable to believe his eyes. Bai Shi was not a weak cultivator, but he had died such a terrible death! Moreover, from the shape of the corpse, it showed how cruel the method used by the culprit was. He might’ve been an evil cultivator, but the culprit was way crueler than they were.

“To Ancient River Village.”

The crowd ran off toward the distance, determined to hunt the culprit down.

Lin Fan arrived at a forest.

He found a place to give all his war trophies a try.

He poured the pills out into his hand. “There’s a number of Mortal high-class and Mystic pills. It seems that Bai Shi earned a number of treasures!”

Even though Mortal high-class pills were almost useless to him, Lin Fan was happy to see all the points. One experience point is still an experience point, right?

He took all of the Mortal high-class pills in one go.

The pills soon took effect, and refinement took place in every part of his body continuously. Very soon, Lin Fan’s experience points soared up.

He had now set a goal for himself to cultivate to his limit before he made his way back. Otherwise, this trip will have been a waste!

There are six levels in total for Mountain Quake Energy, and I’m only at level three. How embarrassing would it be to go back without getting it to the highest level?

I have to start learning Violent Body too. I need to work harder.

As for the Transformation into God Swordsmanship that requires fifty thousand points, it’s still far from my short-term goal. I’ll need to work much harder.

Crack!

“Wow, the effects are a little bit too strong. Even if they are all just Mortal high-class pills, the strong effect nearly made my chest burst open! Luckily, I’m alright.” Seeing the crack in his chest, Lin Fan sighed.

“I will need to take the Mystic grade pills in small servings. I might burst to my death because of the overpowering effects.

“I’m lucky this time around though. All the pills I got are cultivation pills. It wouldn’t have been as useful if they were support pills.

“I’m so lucky.” Lin Fan sighed happily.

Cultivation pills were much more valuable than support pills, putting aside the rare support pills. The difference between the types was obvious too.

The higher the grade of pill, the better its effects would be, and the stronger the residual effects would be too.

A few hours later, Lin Fan had gained 255,470 experience points after he took all the pills.

Let me check my statistics.

Name: Lin Fan

Cultivation: Earth Star Border Stage One (+)

Experience Points: 255,470

Points: 6,760

Talents: Immortality, Ultraprecise Blade Claw

Specialty: Golden Body Tempering Secret (3)

Skills Acquired: Violent Mace (Max), Cruel Blood (Max), Mountain Quake Energy (Level 3)

Lottery: Bronze (100), Silver (300), yet to be unlocked.

The experience points gained from pills is way more than when I cultivate myself.

I’m aiming to thoroughly cultivate to the peak of every stage.

I need to level up my Golden Body Tempering Secret to the Mystic level too. Levelling up to Earth Star Border Stage Two will surely need a huge amount of points, even if I am not sure of the exact amount.
