“Oh, why? Were you so touched by my words that you decided to fall in love with me?” Lu Yanxue looked up and jested.

“Fell in love with you?” Chen Fan let out laughter and then shook his head.

Despite his cheerful denial, he wagered that if he had met her during his last life, he might have fallen in love with her.

Jiang Churan, Xu Rongfei, Yu Wenjin, and Lu Yanxue, every one of them were outstanding members of society. However, Chen Fan in his last life was just a no account, and therefore, he would have been attracted to anyone of them.

Unfortunately, there and then, the boy in front of Lu Yanxue was no longer an inexperienced average joe; instead, he was the North Mystic Celestial Lord. He had long since surpa.s.sed worldly sentiments, such as that of joy and love. His goal was to achieve immortality, to become one with the very fabric of time and s.p.a.ce. Anyone Chen Fan met during his new life would not have any chance of capturing his heart.

Chen Fan kept his thoughts to himself. He could register the sadness behind the girl’s joyful mask. She was a living and breathing human, and no human would feel happy go lucky after being offered to a stranger as a gift.

“That’s enough talking, let’s go, I will show you around the ancient Lin City.”

Lu Yanxue gathered herself and threaded her hand through Chen Fan’s arm while smiling.

After the two were gone, Lu Haixuan emerged from a shadow and said: “Grandpa Long, what do you think of Chen Beixuan?”

“He said he is from Chu Zhou City and knew Yanxue on the way here. We might have to take his words with a grain of salt. “Lu Tianlong heaved a sigh and then said: “I have never heard of any famous martial arts families in Jiang Bei, much less Dharma Spells casters or Physique Refinement Masters.”

“If the Lu family was not bound to Tian Nan Region, we might be able to solve the mystery.” Lu Haixuan heaved a sigh.

“There is no need to worry, HaiXuan. I have already sent a delegate to Chu Zhou City to investigate. We should gain a handle on the situation pretty soon.” Lu Tianlong furrowed his brows and said: “Your first and foremost task is to reach the peak of Internal Force cultivation. We are a martial arts family, and therefore, nothing would trump personal strength. If our family could sire another Grand Master, even that high lord at Zhong Hai wouldn’t be able to confine our influences.”

“Yes, Grandpa Long.” Lu Haixuan answered with a somber face.

Lu Tianlong nodded back in approval.

Lu Haixuan and Lu Yanwu were both cream of the crop among the younger generation of the Lu family. Despite their different skill sets, they had achieved ill.u.s.trative achievements in their own fields. It was a sign that the Lu family was about to rise to power.

More Martial Artists arrived at the conference on the second day compared to the day before.

The number of partic.i.p.ants had exceeded two hundred. Chen Fan had never thought that there could have been so many powerful warriors hiding in plain sight. So much so that he felt lucky that he had been able to live past thirty without a serious run in with one of these deadly fighters.

He set up his kiosk during the day and in the night, he planned to accompany Lu Yanxue and Miao Xiaoqian to the Lin City.

Chen Fan was not in a hurry since he had already achieved his objective of finding Spirit Medicine. As he had learned yesterday that what he was looking for was hidden inside of the Li Family and the Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect, waiting to be claimed by him—and he would. Whatever Spirit Medicine he could scour from the event would be icing on the cake.

“Shoot! There is someone selling body-tempering type of pills? I am in luck!”

A man with dusty clothes and a long fluffy beard saw Chen Fan’s banner and exclaimed. He came up to Chen Fan’s kiosk and slammed the desk. “Hey, kiddo! How many of those Physic Refining Pills do you have? I will take them all.”

So saying, he produced a suitcase with a coded-lock. The suitcase popped open as he punched in the code. The man pulled the lip back, revealing a suitcase full of green money, they were American Dollars.

There must be at least a couple million in that case.

Chen Fan sat still and didn’t even waste a glance on him.

“Hey, did you hear me?” The middle aged Martial Artist squinted at Chen Fan as annoyance danced in his eyes.

Martial Artists were well known for their bad tempers. After all, if they could do things the easy way, why would they have to wait and be patient?

Chen Fan sat still unflinchingly.

The people around them looked to the middle aged martial artist with pity. By then, a friend of the martial artist finally pulled him to a side and warned him: “Blood Blade, can’t you read? He is only asking for thousand-year-old herbs or Special artifacts. He is not interested in any other form of payment.”

“That’s absurd!” Blood Blade snorted.”Thousand year old medicines are family treasures at some of the most powerful households.”

He looked at Chen Fan and studied him more carefully. Chen Fan was of average looks and he found it hard to make the connection between this ordinary boy with any resemblance of power. However, the big man standing behind the boy caught his attention. Nonetheless, he wagered that the hulking frame, despite its size, should not be able to withstand a few punches from him.

That being said, as an experienced warrior, Blood Blade refrained from making any moves for now. Instead, he asked his friend.

“If he won’t accept money, are we going to just watch him and do nothing?”

“Someone already tried.” The other martial artist grinned at him. “This boy carried not just a superior-grade Body-Tempering Pill, but also supreme-grade elixirs. The Lu family, Li Family and the Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect were interested in hiring him, but they all got turned down. Last night, six martial artists had ganged up on him, including Tutuli from the Diamond Temple. Guess what happened?”

“The guardian of the Diamond Temple? Isn’t he a Physique Refinement expert?” Blood Blade was shocked slightly, so he asked: “What happened?”

Even though he lived overseas, he had heard of the Diamond Temple. Although he was confident that his power was greater than the guardian of the Diamond Temple, the guardians were the last people he would think to tick off.

“They were crushed, like little chicks. I mean literally crushed! Only one out of the six escaped the murder scene, rumor had it that he was finished off by a spell right in front of Miss Jin Yi.”

“What?” Blood Blade gasped.

“The Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect is not well known for their spell casting skills, but Miss Jin Yi reached the mid-stage of the Dao-Reaching level at the very least. Plus, she also had powerful Dharma Artifacts at her disposal. Yet the boy still was able to kill someone right under her nose? And what did you say? Someone had murdered a Physique Refinement Expert from the Diamond Temple? What?”

“I told you so, don’t p.i.s.s him off.” The other martial artist shook his head and said: “I know you think that young man looks nothing extraordinary, we all did. However, he must be a master of the Dao-Reaching Level. The man behind him must be a rare Physique Refinement Master.”
