Lin Fan took a shower. As he broke through yet another level, his power, speed, and spiritual energy increased by 1 once more. This feeling made Lin Fan extremely infatuated. This was the feeling of becoming stronger.
After lunch, he took a break.
Then, Lin Fan prepared to head out to the Sky Treasure Pavilion.
He was prepared to exchange the bank card that Duan Chuan had given him for 10 drops of blood essence from a First-grade demon.
His rate of consumption was too fast. It was better for him to exchange for the blood essence first to prevent meeting the scenario of having insufficient resources during the next breakthrough.
The Sky Treasure Pavilion was a place that specialized in buying and selling cultivation resources, cultivation techniques, and weapons. There was only one such place in Wind City, and it belonged to the government.
Lin Fan had never been here before. It wasn’t because he felt inferior. It was because he was poor. Only those who had awakened or those who had an Awakened Being accompanying them could come in here.
This was his first time here!
In the modern city, the Sky Treasure Pavilion was very eye-catching because the architecture style was completely different. It was an ancient-style building that looked like a tower with four floors. This was because the city lord of Wind City was a Fourth-grade Awakened Being.
He swiped his identity card and entered the first floor. After Lin Fan awakened, his identity card information had been changed and he officially became an Awakened Being. However, the information recorded on it was that he was still a First-grade One-star Awakened Being.
In reality, the Sky Treasure Pavilion was like a shopping mall with glass display counters. You could see the goods and there weren’t many varieties. However, there were quite a number of people. Most of them were parents who brought their children over. There were very few people like Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was also curious as he browsed around. The cultivation techniques area was filled with basic cultivation techniques. For example, Lin Fan’s current Basic Sword Techniques and Basic Saber Techniques were all here and were priced at 100,000 yuan per manual! Of course, there were also others like Basic Spear Techniques, Basic Arrow Techniques, Basic Staff Techniques, Basic Fist Techniques, Basic Footwork, etc.
In the weapons exhibition area, there were all sorts of knives, swords, sabers, and staffs. They were of different lengths and sizes. The designs on them were also different. However, they were all above 50,000 yuan.
Lin Fan was tempted by them and coveted them. He also wanted to get an alloy knife or alloy sword. As a man, he had a natural obsession with weapons. However, his wallet was empty.
At the same time, it was also customized and could be engraved with a name or a special pattern. Of course, the fee was also different. It started at 100,000 yuan.
In the end, Lin Fan left with a heavy heart. He didn’t even look back. He didn’t dare to look anymore because he was afraid that he would really spend the last 100,000 dollars impulsively. That would be terrible!
That was for cultivation.
Lin Fan was prepared to buy 10 drops of First-grade demon’s essence blood and leave immediately. He could not watch any longer. His heart could not calm down. This was all money!
Eh?
Lin Fan caught sight of an unexpected figure.
At that moment, the other party was cowering in fear. It was obvious that he had already seen Lin Fan. He was hiding beside a middle-aged man who was about the same height as him. He didn’t dare to look at Lin Fan as if he was praying that Lin Fan wouldn’t see him.
Lin Fan smiled and didn’t go forward to greet him. It was none other than Tian Cheng, who was the first to accept his talent skill.
Tian Zhuo looked at his son who had suddenly become like this and was trembling slightly. He frowned. Tian Cheng was normally a very confident and energetic young man. He was full of vigor and confidence.
This was especially so after awakening his elemental type talent. Following Tian Cheng’s gaze, he saw Lin Fan turn around and walk towards the cultivation area counter. His eyes flashed with star powers and he was stunned for a while.
Hu ~
Tian Cheng finally heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed. His face was still a little pale, and it was obvious that he had recalled some unpleasant past.
Tian Zhuo suddenly asked, “Is he Lin Fan?”
“Yeah.”
Tian Cheng replied unhappily. Then, he said confidently, “I am already a First-grade Two-star. I am ahead of him. In the future, I will completely surpass him. Furthermore, I have a fire element talent. My potential is stronger than his.”
Tian Zhuo looked at his son.
‘Why didn’t you say that earlier? Why are you still hiding behind me?’
He naturally knew the whole story of what happened that day when he awakened. After all, it was his son. Moreover, Wind City was only so big. For people with some status, they could naturally obtain information.
Tian Zhuo said, “Son, do you know what is the best way to reduce fear?”
“???”
Tian Cheng was puzzled, but he still answered, “Defeat fear.”
“Hmm, I can’t defeat him for now?” Tian Zhuo asked again.
Tian Cheng didn’t know what his father meant. “Then face your fears head-on. You’ll get used to it.”
Even a child would understand such simple logic, but why ask him this?
Suddenly, he had a bad feeling.
As expected, Tian Zhuo said, “Let’s go and meet your classmate.”
In an instant, Tian Cheng’s face, which had almost recovered, turned pale. It was as if he was nailed to the ground. All his muscles told him one thing: I don’t want to go!
The shadow of that day was still lingering in his heart. The person he didn’t want to see the most now was Lin Fan. Yes, there were also his classmates from that day.
Therefore, he had been at home for the past few days and hadn’t left the house. Today, he finally broke through and happily came to shop around the Sky Treasure Pavilion with his father.
However, he had never thought that he would meet Lin Fan here. More importantly, his father wanted to drag him along to meet Lin Fan.
Tian Cheng said timidly, “Dad, that kid is a little strange. Let’s not… go!”
“That’s not what you said just now,” Tian Zhuo said expressionlessly.
“Dad, I understand the logic, but whether I can do it or not is another matter.”
“Yeah.”
Tian Zhuo expressed his approval. Then, he grabbed Tian Cheng’s arm and forcibly pulled him over. With a serious expression, he said, “So, your dad will help you. I will always be your strongest support.”
In the hands of his father, who was a Second-grade Three-star Awakened Being, Tian Cheng could not resist at all.
Tian Cheng’s eyes widened as he stared at his father. He was on the verge of tears.
He wanted to refuse!
At this moment, he finally understood the greatness of fatherly love!
At this moment, he really wanted to become stronger. At the very least, he had the right to reject when he chose not to.
Tian Cheng saw that Tian Zhuo was determined and could only convince himself. “I have become stronger. I am already a First-grade Two-star Awakened Being. I am already stronger than Lin Fan. His talent skills are useless to me. To me, he is already weak…”
Needless to say, it was quite useful. It made Tian Cheng calm down a little. His strength had become his backing.
From his point of view, Lin Fan was definitely still a First-grade One-star. Opening the first acupoint required a lot of resources, especially when maintaining its stability. He had spent a lot of resources just to stabilize it and had completed it the second day after his awakening.
Tian Zhuo looked at his son and did not say anything. He did not want to hurt his son. He had just checked Lin Fan’s aura. He was a First-grade Three-star.
