Chapter 77 Sima Family
Witnessing the tragedy that was happening, Lin Fan felt his decision to become a cultivator was the right choice.
If you aren't strong enough, you will be just a pawn to those stronger than you.
And in this case, the Dark Lotus sect.
The emperor and Qing Feng sect had better deal with them soon, or Lin Fan foresees chaos across the land.
Which would impede his goal of becoming stronger.
"Better to leave now!"
Constable Leong and his men couldn't keep the mob at bay and advise Lin Fan and Sun Hai to leave.
They agreed, quickly left, and took Low Fang Bai with them.
Villagers could only curse at Low Fang Bai as they saw him taken away.
They knew Lin Fan and Sun Hai could wipe them out with just a few strokes.
As they rode on their horses, the shouting, wailing, and chaos became further and further away.
Slowly there were only sounds of the insects chirping and galloping of the horses.
"Don't worry. Not all missions are like this. I once had a mission to escort some businessman's wife, and the feast along the way was great," Sun Hai said, trying to comfort Lin Fan.
"What shall we do with him, though?" Lin Fan asked.
Low Fang Bai was now unconscious and tied up, lying face down behind Sun Hai on the horse.
"The Formation Peak will be able to extract his memory. Hopefully, we will then know what the Dark Lotus sect is up to," Sun Hai replied.
Lin Fan nodded and took note of it.
What would they see if they tried to extract his memory?
Would they be able to see his life before transmigrating?
He might need to start looking for techniques that could suppress his memories.
...
Mission Hall.
This hall had wooden tablets hanging on a huge wall with missions available written on them.
The missions are classified into different levels of difficulty.
If disciples are confident with the missions, they could take the wooden tablets and register with the disciple in charge.
Lin Fan and Sun Hai's mission was classified as entry level.
Most likely taking a bet on Lin Fan and Ho Ming becoming important figures in Qing Feng sect.
He could see why Sima Liang's family is rich.
Lin Fan thought for a moment, even though he wasn't short of money right now, he wouldn't mind the backing of a rich family.
As long as they don't demand anything from him.
"Free? The most expensive thing in life is free," Lin Fan said and pointed to the sparsely furnished interior of the wooden hut, "Look around. I'm just a poor inner disciple and can't give you anything in return."
"Of course. We don't expect anything in return from you. I just like to make friends," Sima Liang explained.
"So how would you enhance my hammers?" Lin Fan said.
Sima Liang's eyes opened wide, happy that Lin Fan didn't reject him.
He replied, "I saw that you used some Yin and Yang techniques with the hammers. It would be much more powerful if your hammers get infused with demonic beast core with the same attribute."
"I have an Ember Wolf's beast core. Would that work?"
"Ember Wolf's beast core? Really? It's rare and definitely powerful enough. Our family will find the other Yin attribute beast core for you."
Sima Liang was surprised that Lin Fan had something so valuable in his possession and offered his family's help.
"Where will you find the demonic beast core?" Lin Fan asked.
"You know the black market?" Sima Liang replied.
Did he say black market?
Lin Fan suppressed his excitement and nodded calmly as a plan began to form in his mind.
Why doesn't he hunt for the demonic beast in the woods?
He could earn the vengeance points and then sell the demonic beast core at the black market.
Thus earning the money from Sima Liang.
And finally, the demonic core will go into his hammers.
It's a win-win-win for him.
Lin Fan grinned as he slowly hatched out his plan.
With Lin Fan's agreement, Sima Liang left the wooden hut with a smile.
As the son of the second wife, he wasn't favored to take over the family's assets.
To outperform his brother, he would have to have support from someone with potential like Lin Fan.
On top of that, Sima Liang was very much drawn to Lin Fan's finesse and scheming nature.
It was also a win for Sima Liang.
