Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Can I Go Back to Ask for a Gift? Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Can I Go Back to Ask for a Gift? “You… weren’t you at the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment Perfection?”
Lin Yuheng felt a sense of time distortion.
Just like Liu Qingxian before.
Had she really been apart from Jiang Fan for only half a day?
Jiang Fan said, “Half a day ago, I was indeed at the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment Perfection, but now, haven’t I broken through?”
What kind of talk was that?
People in the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment Perfection could rely on a Yuan Energy Pill to break through to Core Formation.
That already required great fortune.
But who would break through directly to the Second Level of Core Formation?
Not to mention seeing it, such bizarre things had never even been heard of!
Grasping Jiang Fan’s wrist, she carefully sensed it in disbelief.
But that strong and powerful spiritual power, what else could it be but the Second Level of Core Formation?
“You’ve really broken through to the Second Level of Core Formation!” Lin Yuheng exclaimed in shock.
If she hadn’t seen Jiang Fan’s capabilities before and hadn’t been sure that he was indeed at the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment half a day ago,
she would never believe that someone could jump from the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment to the Second Level of Core Formation in one go!
Jiang Fan smiled and said, “Just luck.”
“No more talk, don’t want to delay Senior Lin’s duties.”
He stuffed a package into Lin Yuheng’s hand, saying, “Just a small token, please accept it, Senior Lin.”
Lin Yuheng wanted to grab Jiang Fan and question him thoroughly.
But Luo Dongcheng next to her, impatient with the delay, urged them onward, and she could only mount her horse, speaking deeply:
“You truly surprise me every time I see you.”
“I wonder to what extent you’ll surprise me next time we meet.”
When leaving Sunset City,
She felt heavy-hearted and sighed repeatedly.
Jiang Fan was so remarkable that his fame would only grow.
By then, many in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion would be watching him when the disciples were recruited.
It would not be easy to take Jiang Fan as her disciple.
“Commissioner Lin, you’re really generous with this Jiang Fan.”
Luo Dongcheng chuckled, “You gave him that Yuan Energy Pill, and now you’re still looking for another one for him.”
“You put in so much, just to receive a few thanks and a small gift in return.”
His words carried a hint of feeling that it wasn’t worth it.
Lin Yuheng couldn’t say outright that she intended to take Jiang Fan as her disciple.
She could only speak in Jiang Fan’s favor, “The boy is very polite.”
“No matter what he gives, it’s still his token of appreciation.”
“Whether it’s valuable or not doesn’t matter anymore.”
“Just now, he wanted to give you a gift as well, but you outright refused, somewhat hurting his pride.”
Luo Dongcheng snorted, showing his disdain:
“I’ve traveled countless miles, even the things on me feel burdensome.”
“Why would I want anything from a small disciple that has no value?”
Lin Yuheng felt a bit angry.
After all, Jiang Fan had good intentions.
Belittling him was really unbecoming.
“Alright, alright, Commissioner Luo, you’re so wealthy, is that enough for you?”
“You don’t value it, but I do!”
She no longer held back.
Picking up the package Jiang Fan had given, it felt heavy, quite substantial.
She wondered what was inside.
Curious, she untied the package to see what Jiang Fan had carefully prepared for her.
Luo Dongcheng pouted.
Too lazy to see what it was.
For he could easily guess it would be something small disciples considered precious.
But to experts like them, it was just worthless junk.
Lin Yuheng let out a surprised sound.
Staring at a package full of crystal-clear spiritual meat, she looked perplexed.
She took a small piece.
Upon confirming it was demon beast spiritual meat, not some random junk,
She carefully put it in her mouth to taste it.
A surge of pure spiritual power flowed into her Golden Core.
The Seventh Level of Core Formation, stagnant for years despite consuming many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, showed signs of loosening.
“Ah? This… What kind of spiritual meat is this?”
“To be effective even for a Late Period martial artist like me?”
At her level, ordinary Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures had long lost their effect.
Breaking through required a grand opportunity.
However, this unknown spiritual meat had great effect with just a taste!
This shocked her, making her exclaim repeatedly.
Luo Dongcheng chuckled, “Is such exaggeration necessary?”
“If you want to praise him, just do it, no need to go this far.”
He thought Lin Yuheng was forcibly trying to elevate Jiang Fan’s gift value.
But such exaggerated actions seemed childish to him.
Not getting a response from Lin Yuheng after a while.
He turned and saw Lin Yuheng hurriedly closing the package, afraid he might see it.
Luo Dongcheng got angry and laughed, “Would I covet a small disciple’s junk?”
Was she underestimating him Luo Dongcheng?
When he glimpsed a corner of the spiritual meat in the package, his face changed drastically, exclaiming:
“Millennium spiritual meat? It’s millennium spiritual meat!!!”
“How is that possible?”
Lin Yuheng quickly closed the package and securely tied it to herself, expressionless, saying:
“It’s just some worthless small gifts.”
After a brief moment of doubt, Lin Yuheng also realized that this bunch of spiritual meat was extraordinary.
So, she hurriedly packed it up to prevent Luo Dongcheng from seeing it.
Unexpectedly, he still discovered it and even identified it.
“I didn’t see it wrong!”
Luo Dongcheng looked shocked, “When I was young, I once obtained two hundred years of spiritual meat.”
“It was the meat of a rare spiritual turtle, which allowed me to break from the Third Level of Core Formation to the Fourth Level!”
“I can’t mistake what’s in your package!”
“That is at least millennium-level spiritual meat!”
He held his head in disbelief, “That kid, actually gave you a whole package of millennium spiritual meat?”
“So much that it will be enough for you to break through to the Eighth Level of Core Formation!”
Only then did he realize.
Jiang Fan’s gift was not burdensome, nor was it trash.
It was a grand opportunity!
A dream opportunity for Late Stage Core Formation martial artists!
His expression turned grim.
Jiang Fan had wanted to give him a gift as well.
Thinking of this, he turned green.
Clenching his jaw, blushing, he said, “Commissioner Lin, can you accompany me back?”
Jiang Fan wanted to give him a gift out of respect for Lin Yuheng.
Approaching Jiang Fan alone, he wouldn’t be entertained.
“No way!” Lin Yuheng refused without a second thought.
Jiang Fan had offered a gift out of goodwill, but he scorned it.
Now realizing its value, he wanted to go back and ask for it?
And he wanted her to go along?
Lin Yuheng couldn’t bear such shame of asking a junior for a gift.
Luo Dongcheng was regretful, slapping his thigh, “I was indeed arrogant just now.”
“Commissioner Lin, please accompany me back once more!”
Lin Yuheng rolled her eyes at him.
Replied bluntly, “If you want to go, go yourself. Don’t take me to disgrace!”
Knowing it was impossible to get another share, Luo Dongcheng eyed the package on Lin Yuheng.
“Then… can you share a bit with me?”
“We’ve worked together for years, don’t we have at least that much affection?”
Seeing him shamelessly begging for spiritual meat, Lin Yuheng found it both infuriating and amusing.
Wasn’t he the one disdainful of gifts just now?
Wasn’t he the one complaining about burdens?
Why was he begging now?
Her heart felt relieved, let him underestimate Jiang Fan, served him right!
However, she did tear off a finger-sized piece, saying, “Just this much, take it or leave it.”
Luo Dongcheng held it in both hands, uncertain whether to cry or laugh.
The breakthrough opportunity, gone just like that!
He now only wanted to complete his task quickly, then repair his relationship with Jiang Fan.
To gain his favor, and maybe get a share of the spiritual meat.
Jiang Fan’s tale continued.
With Lin Yuheng gone.
He didn’t idle around.
Returning to his thatched hut.
He closed his eyes in meditation.
He had something extremely important to do.
“Finally, I’ve reached Core Formation. It’s time to visit the Void Ancient Tree!”
His tone brimmed with excitement.
Because, upon reaching the Core Formation realm, he could again obtain a cultivation technique.
A technique that had never existed in the Nine-Sect Land…
A method of Soul Attack!
