Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion Chapter 288 – Meng Fan’s

So theoretically, ng Fan actually gained a Hidden Dragon Jade worth ten thousand Spirit Stones for free.

He lost an unfriendly "Master's Wife" but gained a priceless jade pendant.

From any angle, this was a huge win!

However, for Elder Lin, it seed like a bit of a loss.

But thinking carefully, if you look at it from a long-term perspective, Elder Lin didn't really lose out.

Until they finally left Tianyun Mountain, Elder Lin didn't give ng Fan the ten thousand Spirit Stones.

After all, from Elder Lin's current perspective, giving ng Fan the Spirit Stones would really feel like losing both the lady and the soldiers.

***

On the carriage back to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, Elder Lin couldn't hold back and asked ng Fan:

"Disciple, that sword strike of yours was truly outrageous. How did you manage it?"

Yang Yuqi, who was beside them, also perked up her ears.

Even soone at Elder Lin's level was interested in that sword strike, let alone Yang Yuqi.

In Yang Yuqi's eyes, ng Fan's previous sword strike was truly like that of a Sword Immortal, astonishing and extraordinary.

So much Sword Qi, Sword Intent, Sword Soul, and Spiritual Swords, all controlled simultaneously and in perfect order—how could a cultivator at the Heavenly Origin Realm achieve this?

Not to ntion the Heavenly Origin Realm, even those at the Condensing Elixir or Summoning God stages couldn't do it!

ng Fan smiled at Elder Lin and said, "Master, it's just a small trick. In the eyes of a cultivator of your level, it's really nothing."

Elder Lin glared at ng Fan and said irritably, "In my realm, of course, it's nothing. But in your realm, it's a truly heaven-defying sword strike!"

"Master, you're too kind," ng Fan said humbly.

But despite his humble tone, he couldn't help but show a hint of pride on his face.

He couldn't help it; he was just too strong!

Even soone as exceptional as Ye Qinxin could be easily defeated by him, his strength was simply outrageous.

It was precisely because ng Fan knew he was strong that he never thought of pushing his limits.

As he always said, he didn't need to fight desperately or even try hard to completely crush others.

"Forget it, if you don't want to say, then don't. But tell , when you said you hadn't reached your limit, were you just trying to provoke Ye Qinxin, or was it the truth?" Elder Lin asked again.

Actually, ng Fan wasn't unwilling to say, nor was he hiding anything; there was just nothing much to say.

Although that sword strike looked terrifying, it was just his "basic operation."

However, this operation carried certain risks, so ng Fan had never tried it before.

As for his limits?

Hearing Elder Lin's question, ng Fan smiled slightly.

"Master, limits are ant to be broken. For , there are no limits for now.

Moreover, Master, the Sword Seal you gave last ti, I haven't used it yet.

If I use this Sword Seal, I can definitely break my limits!"

Hearing this, Elder Lin couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Using his Sword Seal would be no different from cheating.

It was like Xiao Weiwei personally intervening; even if she won, it would be a loss.

Although ng Fan didn't answer directly, Elder Lin could still sense that ng Fan truly hadn't reached his limits!

Thinking about this, even though ng Fan was his direct disciple, Elder Lin was still a bit bewildered.

Could such an exaggerated genius really exist in this world?

No, not a genius—a monstrosity!

A Heavenly Origin Realm cultivator fighting against a Condensing Elixir stage cultivator was already a rare, heaven-defying feat.

But looking at ng Fan, he even seed capable of fighting against a Summoning God stage cultivator.

This... was like an ant breaking a tree or a grain of rice filling the sea.

At this mont, Elder Lin couldn't help but feel more and more delighted.

Such an outstanding genius monstrosity was his disciple.

How could he not be proud?

Seeing the smile on Elder Lin's face, ng Fan tentatively said, "Master, about those ten thousand Spirit Stones you ntioned before the competition?"

Seeing Elder Lin in a good mood, ng Fan once again set his sights on Elder Lin's Spirit Stones.

In his rare mont of generosity, Elder Lin waved his hand, and ten Spirit Stones appeared in front of ng Fan.

Top-grade Spirit Stones!

ng Fan's eyes lit up, and he quickly stored all the Spirit Stones in his storage ring.

Once the Spirit Stones were in his pocket, even if Elder Lin regretted it, ng Fan wouldn't take them out again.

With this, ng Fan's total Spirit Stones reached sixteen thousand.

This was an unprecedented fortune!!

"Use these Spirit Stones to comprehend the Sword God Stele," Elder Lin said to ng Fan.

Elder Lin was well aware of ng Fan's interest and focus on the Sword God Stele.

After leaving Tianyun Mountain, Elder Lin and his group didn't go to Dragon Guardian Manor to find Lord Eternal Night and Ni Feng.

Without clarifying the truth, finding Ni Feng was pointless.

As for investigating the truth, such matters could be left to the professionals within the Shu Mountain Sword Sect; Elder Lin didn't need to investigate personally.

As an Elder of Shu Mountain, he didn't need to foolishly handle everything himself.

***

Two days later, the three of them returned to Shu Mountain.

Sword Pavilion.

"Master, you're finally back," Shu Changsheng exclaid excitedly upon seeing ng Fan.

ng Fan looked at Shu Changsheng and instinctively frowned.

Because this kid's condition was obviously not good; his complexion seed off.

"Did that scoundrel Wu Tian bully you?" ng Fan asked Shu Changsheng.

Shu Changsheng should have been in the Sword Pavilion these past few days, and besides Wu Tian, no one else could have bullied him.

Shu Changsheng shook his head and said, "Uncle Wu didn't bully ; he was just guiding in sword techniques, but I'm too slow to keep up with his pace."

Guiding in sword techniques?

That scoundrel Wu Tian, having such good intentions?

Clearly, he was taking revenge and venting his anger. That scoundrel had sworn he wouldn't bully kids before.

And I actually believed him.

ng Fan scanned Shu Changsheng's body with his Divine Sense.

The kid wasn't injured; he had probably just been teased by Wu Tian.

Although Wu Tian was a scoundrel, he knew his limits and wouldn't dare to really hurt Shu Changsheng.

With that in mind, ng Fan couldn't be bothered to argue with Wu Tian.

He casually ntioned Shu Changsheng being bullied by Wu Tian to Elder Lin.

Monts later, Wu Tian's miserable wails echoed from the Sword Pavilion.

ng Fan returned to his room, and shortly after, Xiao Qing also ca back.

"Is Xuerou still in seclusion?" ng Fan asked Xiao Qing.

Before leaving Shu Mountain, he had, as usual, left Xiao Qing to guard Li Xuerou, who was in seclusion.

"Yes, Master," Xiao Qing nodded.

That girl was truly obsessed with her seclusion.

"Huh?" Xiao Qing let out a surprised sound.

Because it sensed a special aura from ng Fan, an aura that was very attractive and tempting to it.

It burrowed into ng Fan's pocket, which had almost beco its nest, spending much of its ti there.

Then it poked out its little head, sniffing as if searching for sothing.

ng Fan took out the Hidden Dragon Jade.

"Are you looking for this?"
