From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

When he landed and shot out a lightning strike, the lightning strike carried with it flames that scorched a trail of burnt trees and soil in its path.

Lin Fan turned back into his human form as he didn't want to waste the essence in the demonic cores.

He continued to stay in the back mountains and hunted for more demonic beasts.

It took him a few hours before the sky turned dark.

And he got another Ember Wolf demonic beast core and two Frost Fang Ice Tigers' demonic beast cores.

He decided to return to the wooden hut as it should be enough for the day, and he didn't want Ho Jie to be worried about him.

"Ah, you are back. Just in time for dinner." Ho Jie held a plate of fried meat in his hand and placed it onto the table.

"Thanks. I'm starving too." Lin Fan sat and took a pair of chopsticks from the bamboo chopsticks holder in the middle of the table.

Ho Jie chuckled and took out more dishes from the kitchen.

He joined in with Lin Fan when he was done.

"How are things outside the sect? Anything from the Dark Lord?" Lin Fan asked as he picked up a piece of meat from the plate in front of him.

"The Dark Lord? Nothing from him. But there's some joyous news from the Yi Mei Sect." Ho Jie replied.

"Yi Mei Sect?"

"Yes, they are trying to find a husband for Zhao Jia Rui and suitors are trying their best to be the one." Ho Jie chuckled and replied.

"Zhao Jia Rui." Lin Fan recalled the determined young girl from Yi Mei Sect out to avenge her master.

It had been a while since he had any contact with her.

He tilted his head and silently wished her the best of luck in finding a suitable husband.

...

Next day.

Lin Fan went to the Physique Peak as usual for his cultivation.

However, Zhang Yi Nian was there in the main hall waiting for him.

"Finally, you are here." He placed down his teacup and said.

"Master, you have something for me?" Lin Fan frowned as he knew something was up.

"Pack up and be prepared to go to the Yi Mei Sect with me and Zhang Xi."

"Why the sudden trip?" Lin Fan asked.

"Nothing much, we will just be there to congratulate whoever gets to be the husband of Zhao Jia Rui." Zhang Yi Nian said and glanced over to Zhang Xi.

Zhang Xi quickly avoided his glance, and she walked over to the new disciples.

They were in the Essence Convergence Bath, which was prepared to toughen their skin and bones.

And it would also cleanse and open their meridian pathways up for better Qi flow.

"Only that?" Lin Fan pestered further for the real answer.

Zhang Yi Nian smiled and said, "The sect master and the peak lords think that the Dark Lord might strike the Yi Mei Sect next."

Lin Fan thought for a moment and nodded.

The Dark Lord's return this time was much more open and he didn't fear to be known by others.

In a way, it was as if he wanted his deeds to be seen, like how he attacked the West Monastery in broad daylight without any cunning schemes.

Which was so much different from the Dark Lord's previous style.

Was it because the Dark Lord felt that he was invincible now? Lin Fan thought and shook his head.

Whatever the answer was, it spelled more troubles ahead for the Qing Feng Sect.

"Then I shall pack and get ready." Lin Fan said and left.

Not wanting to waste the contribution points he had, Lin Fan went to the exchange point.

When he entered the exchange point, the disciple recognized him and greeted Lin Fan with a huge smile.

It had been such a long time since he had seen Lin Fan, as Lin Fan was no longer a menial disciple.

"How can I help you today?" The disciple got out from behind the counter and asked.

"This, this and this. I want all of them." Lin Fan pointed to several shelves of essential items.

"All? All of them." The disciple gasped and tried to confirm with Lin Fan.

"Yes, I'm in a hurry."

"I shall get it done in a few moments." The disciple bowed and asked his juniors to help him.

Together, the few of them emptied the shelves and put the items onto the counter.

The counter was filled with food, pills, knives, ropes and other essential items.

"That would be... Two hundred contribution points." The disciple looked up at Lin Fan after he calculated how much the items cost.

Lin Fan handed his wooden slab over to the disciple.

Other disciples in the exchange point looked on in awe.

How could anyone be so wealthy with so many contribution points?

What they heard next shocked them more.

"That's two hundred contribution points and here's your wooden slab with a balance of one thousand one hundred contribution points." The disciple said and handed the wooden slab back to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan checked the balance and with a wave of his hand, he stowed the items on the counter into his toad statue.

The disciples couldn't believe what they'd heard.

They looked on with their mouths opened wide as they saw Lin Fan leaving the exchange point.

Some of them took out their wooden slabs and glanced at the balance they had in them.

Twenty contribution points.

Ten contribution points.

Five contribution points.

Most had contribution points below fifty.

Some had contribution points above fifty.

And some rare ones had contribution points that were above a hundred.

But they were far and few in between.

It would take them years to save up to how much Lin Fan had.

"Damn it." One of the disciples cursed out at the difference between him and Lin Fan.

Others could only give a long sigh.

...

When Lin Fan was ready, he met up with Zhang Yi Nian and Zhang Xi in the Physique Peak.

Sun Hai would stay behind and train the new disciples.

Together with the sect master, Zhao Qing Ying, they then left for the Yi Mei Sect on the golden leaf artifact.
