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

Chapter 288 – Meng Fan’s

So theoretically, Meng 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 seemed 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 Meng Fan the ten thousand Spirit Stones.

After all, from Elder Lin's current perspective, giving Meng 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 Meng 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 someone at Elder Lin's level was interested in that sword strike, let alone Yang Yuqi.

In Yang Yuqi's eyes, Meng 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 mention the Heavenly Origin Realm, even those at the Condensing Elixir or Summoning God stages couldn't do it!

Meng 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 Meng 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," Meng 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 someone as exceptional as Ye Qinxin could be easily defeated by him, his strength was simply outrageous.

It was precisely because Meng 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 me, 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, Meng 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 Meng Fan had never tried it before.

As for his limits?

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

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

Moreover, Master, the Sword Seal you gave me last time, 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 Meng Fan didn't answer directly, Elder Lin could still sense that Meng Fan truly hadn't reached his limits!

Thinking about this, even though Meng 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 Meng Fan, he even seemed 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 moment, 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, Meng Fan tentatively said, "Master, about those ten thousand Spirit Stones you mentioned before the competition?"

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

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

Top-grade Spirit Stones!

Meng 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, Meng Fan wouldn't take them out again.

With this, Meng 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 Meng Fan.

Elder Lin was well aware of Meng 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 exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Meng Fan.

Meng Fan looked at Shu Changsheng and instinctively frowned.

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

"Did that scoundrel Wu Tian bully you?" Meng 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 me; he was just guiding me 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.

Meng 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, Meng Fan couldn't be bothered to argue with Wu Tian.

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

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

Meng Fan returned to his room, and shortly after, Xiao Qing also came back.

"Is Xuerou still in seclusion?" Meng 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 Meng Fan, an aura that was very attractive and tempting to it.

It burrowed into Meng Fan's pocket, which had almost become its nest, spending much of its time there.

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

Meng Fan took out the Hidden Dragon Jade.

"Are you looking for this?"
