Chapter 59 Gaining the Friendship of Shicun

Chapter 59: Gaining the Friendship of Stone Village

Everyone was dumbfounded, shocked by the vastness of the world. Innumerable races and billions of living beings, it was beyond imagination, simply unheard of.

They had thought the Eight Regions was the only Realm, but they never expected to be mere frogs at the bottom of a well, constantly observing the sky from their limited perspective, without even the qualification to step out of this world.

Xiao Hong’s mood fluctuated, finding it difficult to remain calm. She was deep in thought, in shock, and couldn't recover for a long time.

Lin Fan struck while the iron was hot, patiently explaining, “Don’t be confined by this world. In the Upper Realm, Supremes are counted in the hundreds of millions, and Divine Flames are countless. Above them, there are True Gods, Heavenly Gods, Void Dao, Self-Severing, Dunyijing, Supreme, and even the immortal Immortals.”

Everyone was wide-eyed and dumbfounded, their mouths agape in an “O” shape. Some Realms they had never even heard of, thinking that the ancient Heavenly Gods were already the pinnacle.

“With your talent, in this barren land of the Lower Realm, you can at most achieve True God in the future. But if you follow me, I can give you a bigger stage, and becoming Master Level might not be impossible.”

“By then, let alone a mere Fire Country Sacrificial Spirit, even becoming a Divine Dynasty Sacrificial Spirit, or even an Immortal Dynasty Sacrificial Spirit, would not be impossible.”

Lin Fan whispered into her ear, like a demon chanting, enticing her. His face was full of cunning; he was a professional at making grand promises.

“Let me consider it…” Xiao Hong was tempted. She flapped her wings, her eyes filled with longing.

“Imagine the future, you soaring through the Nine Heavens, spreading your wings and flying high, ten thousand races bowing to you, the world at your feet—what kind of glory would that be…” Lin Fan led her in envisioning a grand and incredibly magnificent world.

At this moment, not only Xiao Hong but even the children of Stone Village yearned for it. Xiao Budian secretly vowed that in the future, he would definitely see the world Xiao Fan spoke of.

Which child doesn’t have a hero’s dream, a heart for exploration?

Standing at the peak, overlooking the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, exploring the Nine Heavens above and the Nine Netherworlds below, suppressing all enemies in the world—that feeling was indescribable, just thinking about it made one excited!

Even Yue Chan, after hearing it, felt her blood boil, and she even fantasized about becoming a female Immortal, existing eternally, watching the tides of the river of time rise and fall.

But very quickly, she patted her delicate cheek, came to her senses, and muttered, “This guy’s mouth is truly amazing. He should really be sent to recruit geniuses from all over the world for the sect.”

“Can I really do that?” Xiao Hong raised her head and asked. What he said made her feel light-headed, and a little uncertain that she could reach such a Realm one day.

“Of course you can. You are a Vermilion Bird descendant, with Supreme precious blood within you. Your potential is limitless. After you go to the Upper Realm and undergo Nirvana, you will soar to the sky.”

Lin Fan promised her that he would provide treasures to help her undergo Nirvana, to re-manifest the Divine Might of the ancient Vermilion Bird, surpassing her grandmother who ignited the Divine Flame.

“This… I still need to go back and think about it. The next time we meet, this princess will give you an answer.” Xiao Hong hesitated, still not quite trusting the strange child.

The other party was too mysterious. He was clearly a young child, yet he had so many schemes and was very profound.

The Vermilion Bird was afraid he coveted her Original True Understanding bone, deliberately luring her into a trap. Once she left the Barren Region, her life and death would no longer be her own.

Finally, she nodded to everyone, her whole body radiating rosy light, and she soared away without looking back.

“Xiao Hong, come play often in the future!” Xiao Budian shouted, waving vigorously, reluctant to part.

The Vermilion Bird, flying in the air, almost stumbled and fell, turning back to glare angrily at Xiao Budian. It seemed her embarrassing name was impossible to get rid of.

After the crimson sparrow left, Lin Fan sighed, looking like a bitter gourd, as if he had lost something important.

“Don’t be sad, Little Fan. Even if Xiao Hong doesn’t go with you, you can find a better bird later.” Xiao Budian comforted him, simple and innocent, like a porcelain doll, endearing.

“Xiao Budian is right, you will definitely meet more powerful flying beasts.” The old village chief also said.

“No! What I’m sad about is that the Vermilion Bird Divine Ability just slipped away like that! Ah… my Vermilion Bird mount, my Vermilion Bird Divine Ability…” Lin Fan howled, regretting, “Bah, what a waste of my breath. I shouldn’t have healed it.”

Everyone was dumbfounded, completely unable to keep up with his pace, looking bewildered.

Xiao Budian, however, secretly learned that in the future, when catching Vicious Beasts to guard the village, he should first make grand promises, and if that didn't work, he'd use force.

“Little Milk Hao, this red feather is for you too.” Lin Fan tossed Xiao Hong’s feather over, as if discarding trash, full of disdain.

“Thank you, Little Fan.” Xiao Budian caught it. He didn’t think this feather was useless. In the future, he might be able to use it to bluff, making a chicken feather into a command arrow.

“Old Village Chief, I will be staying for a while to look for mountain treasures. I’ll be troubling you.” Lin Fan said.

“No trouble at all, Little Brother can stay as long as he wants.” Shi Yunfeng smiled kindly.

Now, he wished the other party would stay for a few more days to teach the children rune knowledge and broaden their view of the outside world.

At the same time, he also understood that the young man had no ill intentions and was kind at heart. There was nothing in the village that the other party would covet.

Lin Fan: Hehe…

The middle volume of the Original True Understanding, five Pill Formulas, Willow God, and the future Huang Tian Emperor—which one of these wasn't a treasure?

Afterward, Lin Fan thoughtfully healed the old village chief’s old injuries, making him look much more energetic.

“My… my old injuries that bothered me for years are healed?!” Shi Yunfeng was surprised. His completely white hair even had a hint of black, and he looked younger.

Moreover, his body was filled with power, his flesh and blood were radiant, runes flickered, and as his Heavenly Cave opened and closed, it automatically seized the creation of heaven and earth.

“That’s great, Village Chief, your injuries are healed.” The people of Stone Village were overjoyed. This meant that the old village chief could unleash his full strength, which was undoubtedly exhilarating for those living in the Great Wilderness.

“Thank you, Little Brother…” Shi Yunfeng and the people of Stone Village stepped forward to express their solemn gratitude, stating that from now on, Lin Fan would be the most distinguished guest in their village.

Lin Fan waved his hand and said, “It was nothing.”

However, this small matter that he could easily do was, in Xiao Budian’s eyes, a great kindness.

So, Little Milk Hao took Lin Fan’s hand, his eyes slightly red, and said, “Little Fan, you are too kind. You healed my loved one. When I grow up, I will definitely repay you.”

“Alright then, I’ll be waiting for your repayment. You must grow up quickly, okay?” Lin Fan rubbed Xiao Budian’s head, feeling very pleased.

“It wasn’t in vain for me to put in so much effort. I successfully gained the friendship of the people of Stone Village. Now, only Willow God remains.” Thinking of this, he smiled happily.

Beside him, Yue Chan silently watched this scene. She didn’t believe this guy would be so kind to an inconspicuous village for no reason.

There must be a secret she hadn’t discovered, for example, Xiao Budian, who was different from the people of Stone Village and didn’t seem like someone this village could raise.

Another example was the willow tree at the village entrance. On the surface, it looked like it had been struck by lightning and had regrown tender branches, but as the Saintess of Butian Sect, how could her discernment be poor?

That willow tree gave people an unfathomable feeling, even more so than a Master Level who had ignited a Divine Flame. It was definitely a super strong individual in the past.

Of course, what Yue Chan was most curious about was Lin Fan himself. How did he know all of this?

“He’s truly a mysterious guy, making one want to lift his veil and uncover the secrets he hides…”
