60 Should I Brag A Little?

In less than half a day, the news had spread almost all over the Sacred Violet Manor.

"He really said that?!"

Many individuals of noble positions asked that question out loud—and not just disciples of this generation, but also senior individuals.

Those seniors were either Divine Separation or Divine Separation-pinnacle. Even so, their innate talents were not perfect and their status not exactly high, which was why they still remained at that level even now.

But so what if their talent was not unparalleled? So what if their status was not high?

After decades or even centuries of accumulation, their fortune was likewise sizeable.

Hence, they acted once they caught wind of the rumors!

Therefore, there was no telling how many disciples or important people were ready to claim the pellet for their successors and disciples.

At the same time, the little tidbit that Dan Chengzi inadvertently let slip circulated within the sect as 'confirmed news'.

Hence, the Sacred Violet Manor blew up!

There was no telling how many beings who were in seclusion had been awakened.

Even Fang Wu the Divine Seer, who had been nursing his wounds behind doors was alerted reluctantly by his followers…

"The Ideal Refined Void Pellet actually has such stunning benefits without the side effects?!"

Fang Wu was absolutely stunned. Hence, ignoring his injuries, he forced himself to make a divination… but failed!

"Could my injuries be affecting me?"

He was hesitant but unwilling to miss such an opportunity.

"Prepare the spirit stones and relics… I shall have that pellet!"

***

Early next morning.

The pellet refinery was exceedingly lively and crowded.

After all, how many disciples were there in the Sacred Violet Manor? It numbered in the millions!

In turn, how many of them needed such a pellet? As much as there is water in the sea, and that directly rocketed the price of the Ideal Refined Void Pellet sky-high!

Eventually, it was sold at a horrific price that instantly astounded the entire sacred ground!

***

Afternoon of the same day.

Dan Chengzi arrived at the Saintess Chamber over Bright Moon Peak.

"Fellow senior sisters, may I trouble you to inform the Saintess that Dan Chengzi requests an audience?"

His pudgy face was all smiles…

Chen Cheng and Zhou Yining traded looks when they saw him, although they eventually knocked on Lin Fan's door.

Though Dan Chengzi had position and was considered one of the top ten disciples, the problem was that his rank was shaky.

While other disciples relied on personal ability, Dan Chengzi relied on his accomplishment in pellet theory…

If he relied on his personal ability, Chen Cheng and Zhou Yining would have literally wiped the floor with a Golden Cinnabar like him.

Still, he was amongst the top-ten for better or worse, and they have to afford him that bit of courtesy.

Soon, Lin Fan opened the doors with a wave of his hand.

"Come in."

"Chen Cheng, prepare some tea."

"Yes, Your Grace."

Both girls responded at the same time.

***

Soon, tea was served, while Lin Fan and Dan Chengzi sat opposite each other.

The former did not say a word, and merely drank his tea with composure.

On the other hand, Dan Chengzi could not sit still, and he quietly passed him a storage sack.

"Your Grace, these are the items you've left at the pellet refinery. Dan Chengzi has returned them to you."

"Hmmm~"

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction.

Did you see it? Anyone with eyes could tell that Dan Chengzi did not give him such items. It was his own~

"By the way, thanks for your pointers, Your Grace…"

Dan Chengzi grinned, his fat face looking like a brilliant chrysanthemum.

"Nonsense. What does that have to do with me?"

Lin Fan lifted a brow.

"Yes, yes, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue…"

Dan Chengzi quickly reacted and apologized.

"Alright…"

Only then did Lin Fan nod, before asking, "How did things turn out?"

"The Divine Seer had claimed the Ideal Refined Void Pellet, at the price of ten million spirit stones…"

"Ten million? The Divine Seer is so loaded…"

"Loaded?"

"Rich." Lin Fan corrected himself.

Dan Chengzi, on the other hand, was beaming. "His Heaven and Earth Calculus could see through destiny. Many often seek his divination, and he naturally earned a lot from it."

"But now, most of his spirit stones are probably in our pockets…"

Lin Fan nodded in tacit understanding.

At the same time…

He thought of a question.

The Heaven and Earth Calculus?!

Just before, he pinpointed Wu Guodong's location with but a thought. Could Qi Zixiao had cultivated a similar technique with his body?

Then…

Could I try to divine a lottery ticket or something?

Would I still need to move bricks and earn pocket change if I could? Not even catching wanted criminals is that quick!

He could mull over that when he returned.

Just as he made up his mind, Dan Chengzi said, "As for the matter Your Grace had bid me about reopening my pellet cauldron, it has proved rewarding as well. You may check on it at your leisure when no one is around, Your Grace.'

"I shall bid my leave here—I should not be lingering in Bright Moon Peak."

"Uh-huh~"

After Lin Fan nodded to grant permission, Dan Chengzi soon left.

And right after the doors closed behind him, Lin Fan opened the storage sack…

Spirit stones!!!

The sack was filled to the brim with spirit stones, with oceans of Spirit Qi wafting at his face, almost rendering Lin Fan 'drunk'!

Furthermore, there were many varieties of curious novelties. He could not identify them, but he knew at once they were extraordinary. From an approximation, he counted over six million spirit stones embodying exhilarating Spirit Qi, as well as over a hundred treasurable relics…

It was a pity that there was no telling what those relics actually were since Lin Fan's experience was lacking.

Of course, that was not the point in Lin Fan's perspective. After all, he could not bring these items back with him no matter how awesome they were!

The most important thing here was the pellet recipes lying quietly in a corner…

He opened them to read.

Healing Pellet, Spirit Qi Pellet, Panacea Pellet.

All three pellet recipes Lin Fan asked for were there.

Aside from that, there was a handwritten text titled [Pellet Cooking: From Basic To Advanced—by Dan Chengzi], which was clearly an anthology of Dan Chengzi's experience in cooking pellets.

"The man is quite considerate."

Sadly, however, he did not include the effects of the pellet, and the title of the pellet recipe was a little…

"Well, sounds about right."

Lin Fan pursed his lips. "Having a cultivator come up with pellets for mortals… it would be weird if he spends the effort to think of some profound title."

"Well, it's in my hands now. The name of the pellet would be whatever I name it!"

Nonetheless, Lin Fan did not relax even though he had already obtained the recipe.

It might be an ordinary pellet that could be used and cooked in this world, but what about on Earth?

Whether the ingredients could be found was already a problem…

"Thankfully, Dan Chengzi is considerate enough. He knows that I know nothing about pellets, so he drew diagrams of the herbs beneath the names."

"With this, I could use the diagrams to find the herbs even if they look different between worlds. I just hope I could find them…"

Spending some time to memorized the pellet recipes and experiences in cooking pellets, Lin Fan began to think about the message he would leave for Qi Zixiao.

Humph!

All she earned was fifty thousand dollars in the modern world, was it not? What was so impressive about that?

I got my hands on over six million spirit stones once I made my move, as well as a truckload of treasures… And it was not a one-time split, because more was to come!

Was there a need to mention who is superior here?

Lin Fan was feeling very smug.

So…

Should he brag a little in his messages?
