Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion
Chapter 294 – Meng Fan, the steward of Shu Mountain Sword Sect

Chapter 294 – Meng Fan, the steward of Shu Mountain Sword Sect

However, for Elder Lin, this was a minor issue. Just as he was about to find a spiritual item to continue helping Meng Fan replenish his spiritual power, Meng Fan took out a pill and swallowed it.

It was the True Essence Pill he had obtained from Ye Qingyu!

This pill was specifically used to break through to the Condensation Pill Realm and was extremely precious.

Now, after consuming the Cloud-Piercing Vine, Meng Fan was just a step away from the Condensation Pill Realm, and the True Essence Pill was perfect for the final push.

Seeing this, Elder Lin smiled.

Good, it saved him the trouble.

After a long time...

Meng Fan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes.

Condensation Pill, achieved!

In his Dantian, a Golden Elixir was spinning, emitting a mysterious aura.

At the same time, the originally vast True Qi within him had been refined into True Essence.

In terms of quantity, the True Essence was less than one-tenth of the True Qi.

But in terms of quality, True Essence was far superior to True Qi!

"Master, I have reached the Condensation Pill Realm," Meng Fan said with a smile, bowing to Elder Lin.

Whether or not he went to the Taixu Sacred Realm, the improvement in his cultivation was a good thing, and he was naturally delighted.

"Continue cultivating. Take advantage of the momentum from breaking through and push the Orient Loong God Body to the fourth level in one go!" Elder Lin instructed Meng Fan.

Meng Fan nodded and resumed his cultivation.

The Orient Loong God Body had long reached the peak of the third level, and now was the perfect opportunity to break through to the fourth level.

After a day and a night, an astonishing aura suddenly erupted from Meng Fan's body.

He stood up, looking at his hands in surprise.

"Master, the fourth level of the Orient Loong God Body seems different from what I expected," Meng Fan said, puzzled.

Elder Lin smiled and said, "This is thanks to the Hidden Dragon Jade. You might not have noticed, but during your breakthrough, some special energy from the Hidden Dragon Jade was absorbed by you.

With the Hidden Dragon Jade nurturing you, your Orient Loong God Body will definitely be stronger than others!"

Meng Fan was still a bit surprised.

The Orient Loong God Body was just the name of a body refinement technique, could it really have something to do with dragons?

And the Hidden Dragon Jade, it actually helped in cultivating the Orient Loong God Body, which Meng Fan hadn't expected.

Anyway, it was a good thing!

Meng Fan didn't think too much about it and continued to revel in the joy of his breakthrough.

At this moment, his cultivation, physical body, and Divine Soul had all improved significantly!

Especially the Divine Soul. Originally, with the Fu Xi's visualization techniques, Meng Fan's mental strength and Divine Sense were far superior to others.

But those others had to be of the same realm!

The problem was, the people Meng Fan encountered were all of higher realms, making his Divine Soul seem weak.

Most importantly, theoretically, one couldn't cultivate a Divine Soul in the Heavenly Origin Realm!

Now that Meng Fan had reached the Condensation Pill Realm, everything was different.

In terms of Divine Soul power alone, Meng Fan was no weaker than Ye Qinxin, perhaps even stronger.

"Now that you've reached the Condensation Pill Realm, according to the clan's rules, you can take on a deacon's duty.

As a member of the Sword Pavilion, naturally, you will become a deacon of the Sword Pavilion. No other hall would dare to snatch you!

Our Sword Pavilion is finally starting to grow."

Elder Lin said this with a smile.

Previously, the Sword Pavilion had only him, a lonely old man, and the Sword Pavilion was in decline, with only a dispensable Junior Luo.

Now, the Sword Pavilion finally had a deacon.

And with that young fellow Shu Changsheng, the future looked promising.

"Master, if I become a deacon of the Sword Pavilion, do I have any other responsibilities?" Meng Fan asked curiously.

Elder Lin shook his head, "Don't you know the Sword Pavilion well enough? It's so small, there's nothing to do every day. Even if you become a deacon, there won't be much difference. It's just that your status within the clan will be higher!"

Actually, for Meng Fan, this status elevation was more than just a little.

Because in the impression of many who barely knew him, Meng Fan was still just a Menial Disciple who was later transferred to the Sword Pavilion.

Those Menial Disciples who used to be with Meng Fan day and night had no qualification to enter the Sword Pavilion, so they had no idea what Meng Fan's current situation was.

Meng Fan had been very low-key during his two years in the Sword Pavilion, and indeed, not many people knew him.

Now, becoming a deacon, and such a young deacon at that, would surely make him famous throughout the Shu Mountain Sword Sect!

"Master, can I not be a deacon? I think being a low-key Guarding Sword Disciple in the Sword Pavilion is quite good," Meng Fan asked Elder Lin.

To be honest, after getting used to being low-key, he really didn't like standing out.

After all, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, an eternal truth.

Elder Lin tapped Meng Fan on the forehead and said, "How could a disciple of mine, Lin Bianyun, be a nobody?

I know you like to keep a low profile, but as my direct disciple, do you really think you can stay low-key?

Do you think no one will pay attention to you?

Those who can pay attention to you will do so regardless of how low-key you are!

And those who can't, are just a bunch of wastes. So what if you're high-profile? Are you afraid of them?"

Although this made some sense, Meng Fan didn't quite agree.

Keeping a low profile was the way to go, staying under the radar meant living longer, a belief deeply ingrained in Meng Fan's mind.

"Moreover, as a deacon, you get a monthly stipend of five hundred Spirit Stones," Elder Lin added.

Hearing this, Meng Fan's eyes lit up.

A monthly stipend of five hundred Spirit Stones might not sound like much, but it was consistent every month.

Over a year, that would be six thousand Spirit Stones!

Thinking of this, Meng Fan was no longer so resistant to the idea of becoming a deacon.

Being a deacon wasn't a big deal.

There were many deacons in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, he wouldn't stand out that much!

"A regular deacon gets a monthly stipend of five hundred Spirit Stones. If you can become a Purple-Robed Deacon, the monthly stipend increases to a thousand Spirit Stones!" Elder Lin continued to explain.

Purple-Robed Deacon?

This term was unfamiliar to Meng Fan, but he recalled seeing deacons in purple robes during his years in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, though they were rare!

And as a Menial Disciple, he had no chance to interact with deacons.

After joining the Sword Pavilion, he didn't pay much attention to these positions.

So hearing Elder Lin mention "Purple-Robed Deacon" now, Meng Fan was a bit confused.

He instinctively asked Elder Lin, "Master, what is a Purple-Robed Deacon?"

Since he had decided to be a deacon, why not aim for the Purple-Robed Deacon with double the Spirit Stone stipend?
