Chapter 42- No need to fear

"With my internal cultivation at Martial Path Grade Two, the range has expanded, and I can now control more insects. It is time to work."

　　Just like Feng Poliu, the special internal strength of the Bug Controlling Technique spread out from his legs.

　　The internal strength of the Bug Controlling Technique was grey, but it was invisible when he spread it out. If not for the plants and leaves around his feet trembling, it was tough for one to notice.

　　"It is much stronger than before." There were many ants in the courtyard which surged out from every corner. Under the shine of light, their black shells glowed.

　　The commotion from the ants leaving their nests was small to normal people, but that trembling did have some effect on the animals in the ground.

　　Dirt flipped and moved.

　　Many earthworms popped out from the soil, and they wriggled their bodies. The hot temperature was something they were uncomfortable with.

　　"If you aren't an insect, then don't come out."

　　Bug Controlling Technique could only control insects, so what was the point of the earthworms popping up?

　　However, he wanted to try something.

　　He wanted to see whether or not the special internal strength of the Bug Controlling Technique would work on the earthworms.

　　A thread of internal strength covered and instantly wrapped up one of them.

　　Instantly, he formed a connection with the earthworm.

　　"It works?"

　　Lin Fan was shocked.

　　F***.

　　The name of this cultivation technique conned him. How could it only control insects, he could even control earthworms now.

　　"Hehe, if that is the case, then I apologise."

　　Lin Fan controlled the earthworms to swallow dirt and started to dig.

　　The Liang Family granary wasn't that far away, but it wasn't close either.

　　He thought that the earthworm's speed would be slow, but he noticed that their speed in making tunnels was really quick.

　　"It seems different."

　　Normal earthworms would be able to tunnel thirty millimeters every minute in damp soil.

　　However, the speed of the controlled earthworm was evidently faster.

　　Very quick.

　　It was four to five times faster than before.

　　"Is it due to the buffing affect my internal strength has on the insects?" Lin Fan was deep in thought.

　　Although he was a rich family young master, he was quite intelligent.

　　Feng Poliu treated the Bug Controlling Technique as his treasure.

　　If it could only control insects, then what kind of treasure was that?

　　If it didn't have any shocking use, then it was totally useless.

　　He directed a few of them to work, forming a tunnel.

　　After some time, Lin Fan noticed a weird thing.

　　The internal strength for controlling bugs would continuously consume his internal strength. However, he noticed that he didn't feel like any energy was being consumed at all.

　　Although he didn't have much internal strength in his body, he couldn't look down on people just like that.

　　Kuang dang!

　　The earthworms bumped into a stone, and their route was blocked.

　　Normal people would make them go around it.

　　However, Lin Fan didn't care; he ordered them to smack against it.

　　One earthworm died, its flesh and blood turned into a mess as a sticky liquid flowed out. The earthworms behind took over, swallowing the corpse and then slowly squirming out from the tail.

　　The earthworm at the back ate once more, cycling until the dead body was sent away from the front.

　　The You City commoners were at work and didn't know that a bunch of hardworking earthworms was opening up a life tunnel.

　　During this time, Gou'zi came to the courtyard and noticed that Young Master was lying there, like he was asleep.

　　He didn't disturb him, leaving right away to deal with other matters.

　　The sky turned black.

　　The earthworms finally opened up a tunnel to someplace, leaving a gap. It was very small, and if one didn't pay attention, one wouldn't have been able to notice.

　　"The Bug Controlling Technique is indeed amazing, internal strength turning into a thread, leading the earthworms. To be able to spread his internal strength to such a faraway place was probably because of his talent."

　　Lin Fan was delighted.

　　Based on the information that was sent back, that was the Liang Family granary.

　　Liang Family had tight control of the granary, three shifts of guards patrolling. Even a fly couldn't fly in.

　　However, who could notice a small tunnel that earthworms dug?

　　Lin Fan walked around the courtyard.

　　Numerous ants surged out from the various corners. The sky was dark, and the ants gathered together — their black armor reflecting the glow of the moonlight.

　　He returned to the building and sat cross-legged, controlling the ants to surge towards that small thin hole.

　　The ants crawled really quickly, one following the other as they started to move in an orderly manner.

　　At a corner within the Liang Family granary, there was a small hole. An ant popped its head out and shifted about like a puppet to observe the situation. After confirming that there was no movement, it quickly crawled out.

　　Shortly after, another ant climbed out.

　　Large grain sacks were amassed on the ground; they were filled to the brim with grains.

　　The ants tore into a bag with their sharp teeth.

　　Si La!

　　A hole was broken open, and rice grains dropped out.

　　The ants started to move to grab the grains and formed an orderly line to return.

　　Outside the gate, eight guards one shift guarded at the entrance. As long as there was wind blowing, they would sound the alarm. However, they didn't know that thieves had invaded the granary.

　　Lin Manor back courtyard.

　　Two voices silently landed on a roof.

　　"Old Master, Young Master seems to be cultivating." Old Wu saw the situation within through the closed window.

　　Young Master sat crossed-legged with his eyes closed. This was a sign of cultivation.

　　"Oh?" Lin Wanyi didn't believe it. His unfilial child actually knew to cultivate. If it wasn't night, he would have thought that the sun rose up from the west.

　　Old Wu smiled, "Old Master, Young Master said he didn't want to cultivate, but deep inside, he really wants to. He just didn't want us to know."

　　"Scoff. The unfilial kid doesn't have the heart to remain weak and fall in the future. Forget about today, as long as he doesn't cultivate at night, I will teach him a lesson."

　　Lin Wanyi floated into the distance.

　　A happy smile appeared on his face.

　　It seemed like he really changed.

　　All his work wasn't for nothing.

　　Old Wu smiled and didn't say anything. He knew that Old Master was delighted, but he just didn't say anything.

　　However, what was Young Master cultivating?

　　It wasn't the Purple Sun Four Saint Scripture.

　　Forget it. As long as Young Master cultivated, that was a good start.

　　It wasn't visible to the naked eye, but if one could see, one would notice thin threads from Lin Fan that spread through the air.

　　Normal people wouldn't be able to control it for so long, especially when controlling so many ants.

　　One's internal strength would dissipate and run out in the end.

　　Many small ants crawled out from the small hole and placed the grain at a corner. They then re-entered the hole and returned towards the Liang Family Granary.

　　Grain after grain.

　　Very quickly, a small mountain of rice grains was formed at a corner.

　　Although the ants were small and weak, there was a large amount of them. Although it was too little compared to the grain within the Liang Family granary, the longer the time and with such a quick speed, they would be able to move away all the grain within.

　　The sky slowly turned bright.

　　The chirping of birds sounded out.

　　Within the granary, the final ant grabbed a grain of rice and disappeared.

　　The earthworm flipped around the mud and blocked the small hole.

　　Totally silent. If not for one witnessing it with their own eyes, they wouldn't understand and believe how this whole matter was achieved.
