Su Long pulled Hua Yue, glancing guiltily at Ling Fan. Seeing that Ling Fan wasn't paying attention, she quickly said to Hua Yue.
"I... I want to say goodbye to Mr. Ling."
Hua Yue said softly.
"What's there to say goodbye to! He's such a big shot, how could he remember you! We are people from two different worlds from him, don't be foolish."
Su Long said angrily.
At this moment, Ling Fan's gaze fell upon them.
Seeing it was Hua Yue, Ling Fan nodded slightly at her.
As for Bai Hao, Su Long, and the others, he didn't even look at them.
Su Long and Bai Hao and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Ling, I... I'm leaving Tianchu City and returning to Hongze City. Farewell."
Hua Yue smiled charmingly at Ling Fan, then bowed, like a quiet and elegant pure beauty of a flower.
Ling Fan smiled faintly and watched Hua Yue's retreating back.
At this moment, Liu Han walked over and said, "Grandmaster Ling, you..."
"You should still call me Mr. Ling or just call me by my name, Ling Qingyun."
Ling Fan interrupted him.
Others felt that "Grandmaster" was a flattering title.
However, to Ling Fan, it felt very awkward!
After all, his status in his previous life was countless levels higher than a mere Grandmaster.
Hearing people call him Grandmaster Ling was truly a bit off-putting.
How could Liu Han dare to call Ling Fan by his name? So he respectfully said, "Mr. Ling, from what I see, this young lady seems quite interested in you. This girl is beautiful and kind-hearted, possessing a refined and pure beauty, like a lotus emerging from mud, unstained. She's very different from those vulgar women, truly rare. Aren't you considering her?"
"When there are flowers to be picked, pick them, don't wait until there are no flowers and you're left to pick a branch!"
Liu Han said with a smile, blinking his eyes.
Ji Yan, standing nearby, felt a bit sour for some reason. She rolled her eyes and spat, "You want to get with any woman you see, no man is any good!"
Ling Fan glanced at Liu Han faintly and smiled, "Well, Liu Han, you dare to tease me now? You've got guts."
Liu Han immediately became as silent as a cicada in winter.
"Let's go, take me to see the treasure vault of the Dark Martial Hall."
"Alright!"
Liu Han quickly led Ling Fan to the entrance of the Dark Martial Hall's treasure vault.
Upon entering, the dazzling array of jewels and treasures almost blinded everyone's eyes.
There were so many gold, silver, and treasures here, piled up like mountains.
The sight was so overwhelming, it was impossible to take it all in.
Ji Yan's eyes were dazzled. Although her personality was fiery and straightforward, she was still a woman, and women possessed an innate love for beauty. Seeing the exquisite and incredibly luxurious ornaments, she found it hard to move her legs.
Ling Fan paid her no mind.
On the four walls of the vault, many spirit weapons with powerful auras were hung.
He walked straight through these mountains of gold and silver and entered the inner vault.
This was where the heavenly materials and earthly treasures were stored.
As soon as they entered, a rich and complex fragrance wafted towards them.
There was the fragrance of spirit herbs, and the medicinal scent of hundred-year-old or even several-hundred-year-old medicinal plants.
There were also various kinds of pill bottles. Although sealed, over the years, some pill fragrance had escaped, and the scent was invigorating.
Liu Han walked over with an account book and said to Ling Fan, "Mr. Ling, the treasures stored here consist of one hundred and thirty-five bottles of pills, totaling nine hundred and sixty-one pills, seven plants of medicinal herbs over five hundred years old, sixteen plants of medicinal herbs three hundred years old, and two baskets of medicinal herbs one hundred years old!"
"In addition, there are three large baskets of spirit herbs and spirit fruits, quantity unknown... in short, a lot! Various spirit stones, gold, etc., are innumerable..."
"I'll also report the quantity of gold, silver, and treasures to you. It's a total of..."
Ling Fan waved his hand, interrupting Liu Han.
He had no interest in these gold and silver treasures.
"I'm going to cultivate in the treasure vault. You all withdraw for now. Liu Han, you should expedite the integration of the underground world's forces, and do not let the underground world of Tianchu City and Tianchu Province fall into chaos, otherwise, it will bring disaster to the innocent common people."
"These pills are for you. You must improve your cultivation as soon as possible, at least reach the Quasi-Heavenly Origin realm. Otherwise, with your current cultivation, it will be difficult to suppress those unruly underground world powerhouses."
Ling Fan casually picked up more than ten pill bottles and threw them to Liu Han.
These were all Yellow-grade pills.
Although their quality was average, they were more than sufficient for Liu Han's current cultivation.
Consuming such a large quantity of pills would inevitably have some side effects, but these were low-grade pills, and the overall problem was not significant.
Liu Han bowed and replied, "Yes."
"Ji Hong, these old herbs and spirit fruits are for you. Recover from your injuries as soon as possible. Also, you must reach the physical Heavenly Origin level as soon as possible. Until you become a Grandmaster, you cannot control your own destiny, do you understand?"
"Yes!"
Ji Hong's voice was hoarse as he respectfully accepted the spirit fruits and old herbs.
"What about me!"
Ji Yan stared with her big eyes, looking somewhat adorably naive.
"What about you!"
Ling Fan said with a smile.
"They all got so many good things, what about me! Stingy!"
Ji Yan spoke her mind directly, without thinking, and blurted it out.
Liu Han was frantically pulling at Ji Yan, giving her meaningful glances.
However, Ji Yan stubbornly ignored him.
Ling Fan naturally knew Ji Yan's stubborn temper and said, "I was just thinking about what to give you. Why are you in such a hurry? These few spirit fruits contain a lot of spiritual energy, enough for you to cultivate to the middle stage of the Profound Gang realm, and they also have the effect of nourishing beauty. Also, you can take as much of the gold and silver treasures outside as you want."
"That's more like it!"
Ji Yan's eyes turned into gold coins, and her excitement was evident.
After the three of them left, Ling Fan began to cultivate.
There were too many spirit herbs, old herbs, spirit fruits, pills, and various elemental divine materials here.
Although their grades were not very high, their sheer quantity was impressive, as it was the accumulation of a behemoth like the Dark Martial Hall.
It was most suitable for cultivating the Primordial Qi Art.
The Samsara Divine Cauldron floated out.
Soon, the old herbs, spirit herbs, and spirit fruits began to lose their luster, as if they had suddenly rotted and shriveled.
Those rare divine materials and spirit materials also became dull and lusterless, some even turning into powder.
In the Samsara Divine Cauldron, drops of spiritual liquid were rapidly generated, quickly filling up more than half of it, and the amount was still increasing rapidly.
This was the first time Ling Fan had been so wealthy since his rebirth!
He could consume spiritual liquid as he pleased, without any worry of running out.
Ling Fan opened his mouth and swallowed, and the drops of spiritual liquid formed a line, entering his mouth.
The Primordial Qi Art began to circulate, converting these vast amounts of spiritual energy of various attributes into the purest Primordial True Qi...
Thirty percent.
Thirty-five percent...
Forty percent...
Sixty percent...
The vast treasure vault fell silent, with only the occasional sound of Ling Fan swallowing spiritual liquid and the sizzling sound of the Samsara Divine Cauldron constantly refining the spiritual liquid.
...
Just as Ling Fan was in seclusion cultivating.
The news that the Dark Martial Hall was destroyed, the Dark Martial Hall Master and the six great protectors, as well as Mo Xie Gongzi, one of the Four Great Young Masters of Tianchu City, had all died, quickly spread throughout Tianchu City.
For a time, the entire city was shaken.
It caused a huge stir among the major powers.
