Lin Fan knew why they didn't want him to go. It was because they were afraid of him getting hurt.
Being able to produce pills with a thought, any sect would treat him like a treasure. How could they let him go out to face danger? If anything were to happen to him, it would be a huge loss.
Grand Master Yan did not say anything. He was looking at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan took a step forward. With a resolute face, he cupped his fists, "I'm indebted to Grand Master and fellow Senior Brothers for saving my life. It's been a few months since I entered the sect, but I've never done anything for the sect. Now that the opportunity is right in front of me, I implore Grand Master and fellow Senior Brothers to grant me my wish."
"Junior Brother, that won't do. Cultivating pills for the outer sect disciples is already a huge contribution. How can you say you've never done anything? Furthermore, this is a dangerous mission. You might even lose your life. Junior Brother, it's better for you to stay in the sect." The Senior Elder of Danding Peak spoke up.
Lin Fan was unyielding and did not stop there, "Lesser celestial beasts are not ordinary. It is very dangerous for the disciples to kill them. If I were to cultivate pills from the back, I would definitely be able to save more disciples. I implore Master and fellow Senior Brothers to grant me this wish."
"This..." The Senior Elders looked at their Grand Master helplessly, not knowing what to do.
Lin Fan's righteous words were not fake at all. At the same time, they had to admit that if he were to follow the group and cultivate pills from the back, he might really be able to save more disciples with his skills.
This trip was extraordinary. Killing lesser celestial beasts was secondary, but the main purpose was to train the disciples.
Glory Sect had suffered heavy losses during the previous forbidden grounds expedition. Especially the loss of a genius disciple, everyone could not help but sigh.
Even though this Junior Brother's cultivation base was not high, his skills in cultivating pills were top-notch. To the sect, he would be of great help.
Seeing that everyone was hesitating, Lin Fan said with even more conviction, "Glory Sect has suffered heavy losses in the forbidden grounds trial, and has lost all face in front of the other sects. For this trip to the Misty Peaks, I will use my own elixirs to make the disciples of Glory Sect brave and unparalleled, and let the other sects open their eyes to see the power of Glory Sect. I hope Master will grant my wish."
All the Senior Elders were hesitating as well. What Lin Fan had said was true. Glory Sect had indeed lost all their face during the forbidden grounds expedition, and became the laughing stock of all the other sects. Not only did they not manage to get anything out of the forbidden grounds, they even lost a genius disciple for nothing.
To Glory Sect, this was a huge loss.
Now, if Lin Fan followed the inner sect disciples to the Misty Peaks, he might really be able to regain face for his sect with elixirs.
However, no matter how he thought about it, he still felt that it was unreliable.
Pills Through Thought was an elixir refinement genius that was hard to come by even in a thousand years. If one of them died in the Misty Peak, it wouldn't be as simple as losing one or two prodigies.
"Sure, you can go. But you can't use Pills Through Thought in front of outsiders." Looking at Lin Fan, Sect Master Yan smiled.
This lad's thoughts weren't pure. What was his motive for fighting so hard to get out? But it wasn't a bad thing to follow the sect.
On the path of martial arts, one had to be brave and courageous. After all, flowers in a greenhouse were the easiest to fall. Without training, one wouldn't be able to achieve greatness.
"Master, this …!" All the Senior Elders looked on in disbelief. They had not expected Master Yan to agree to this.
Lin Fan's heart leaped with joy, "Don't worry, Master. I will definitely not reveal my Pills Through Thought skill in front of anyone."
"Yes. But on this trip to the Misty Peaks, you must not come into contact with any other sects. Be careful." Master Yan warned once more.
"Yes." Lin Fan's smile widened. To think that he would be able to convince them so easily.
All the Senior Elders had nothing else to say. Since this was the case, they might as well just go.
"Junior Brother, you can head up to Danding Peak later to get some herbs that you might need along the way, in case of emergencies." Danding Peak's Senior Elder said.
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Lin Fan was touched. Back at Nameless Peak, he had stolen Danding Peak's business. Now that his Senior Brother was so generous, he would be lying if he wasn't touched.
But to the Senior Elders of their generation, it didn't matter who was strong or weak. As long as the sect was strong, even if Danding Peak were to disband, it wouldn't matter.
This was the difference in position. Their thoughts were different as well.
...
After Lin Fan left …
"Master, are we really going to let him follow the inner sect?" Senior Elder Wuya asked curiously.
"Yes. Ever since he came here, I've been keeping a close eye on him. Even though he's a little mischievous, he's loyal to Glory Sect. Now that he wants to go out and take a look, we can't keep him here just because he's mastered Pills Through Thought." Grand Master Yan sighed helplessly as he recalled Lin Fan's experiences at Nameless Peak.
At the same time, Grand Master Yan was even more impressed by the fact that Lin Fan was able to help others rebuild their foundations. That was unbelievable.
"But what if there's danger?" Zhongtian Peak's Senior Elder Lu Mingyang asked.
"No worries. I've already made up my mind." Grand Master Yan replied.
"That's good. If nothing goes wrong, this kid will be the leader of the next generation of Glory Sect." Senior Elder Wuya's evaluation of Lin Fan was rather high.
"Senior Brother Wuya, your evaluation is too high. There are many geniuses within the inner sect as well." Senior Elder Yan Zhanwen shook his head and laughed.
He did not dare to agree with Senior Brother Wuya's words.
"Junior Brother, just wait and see." Wuya chuckled without naming anyone.
All the other Senior Elders laughed without saying anything. As for who the next leader would be, they did not care. As long as the sect could continue to exist, that was the greatest fortune.
...
Along the way, Lin Fan was humming along happily. This was way too awesome! To think that everything would go so smoothly! With that flawless appearance of his, coupled with that little bit of acting skills, he managed to win over all the elders in the blink of an eye!
Lin Fan was heading towards Danding Peak. The Senior Elder had already announced that he could head up to pick the fruits himself.
In the past, it was all sneaky. But now, it was all out in the open. There was a huge difference between the two.
When Lin Fan arrived at Danding Peak, all the Outer Hall disciples saw Lin Fan as well. Like birds startled by the mere twang of a bow, they dispersed immediately.
All of them had a deep impression of Lin Fan. This was an incomparably treacherous fellow who had caused their Outer Hall to have nothing to live for.
Nowadays, not many disciples were willing to come to Danding Peak to cultivate pills. Even after being reprimanded by the Senior Elder for not collecting any fees, it was still the same.
In the past, 10 sets of ingredients required a furnace of pills. But now, it was 5 sets of ingredients required a furnace of pills.
Even for low level pills, two sets of ingredients required a furnace of pills.
To the Outer Hall disciples of Danding Peak, these requirements were too harsh.
Especially for Li Shun. In the past, he could still make some small mistakes while cultivating pills. But now, he had to focus all his attention.
If he failed, he would have to bear the consequences himself.
...
And this was all caused by that Nameless Peak b * stard.
"Senior Brother Li, not good! Nameless Peak b * stard is here!" Just then, a terrified voice came from outside.
Li Shun stood up abruptly. His eyes were filled with respect and even anger. He then stormed out of the door.
