Chapter 650 Ancient World (16)
The target didn’t stand a single chance as it was surrounded by five different beasts that were in the same realm as it.
It made a struggle as it tried to run away, but it was all futile in the end as it was quickly killed by Lin Fan’s pets.
Lin Fan pulled out the core and fed the corpse to the Corpse Eater.
This time, he could feel his cultivation growing as the Corpse Eater finished off the Fragmented Soul Realm beast corpse. It was a large amount of growth as it had almost pushed him right into the Mid Fragmented Soul Realm.
It seemed like as long as he fed the Corpse Eater with corpses of the same cultivation level, the effects were already very good. But if he were to feed the Corpse Eater with corpses of higher realms of cultivationโฆ
This was a world that was filled with beasts that were in the Soul Realm, even beasts that had reached the True Soul Realm. It seemed like this was a great place for him to increase his cultivation.
So without another thought, Lin Fan headed back to the Adventurer Guild to turn in this mission.
He could have killed more Fragmented Soul Realm beasts, but that wasn’t his main goal right now.
Well, his main goal was to become stronger, but it wasn’t just having a higher realm of cultivation that made him stronger.
He would naturally become stronger as long as he continued feeding the Corpse Eater, so there was something else that he needed to work on during this time.
After all, even if he had individual power, there was something that was still lacking.
Money made the world go round.
As long as you had money, there wasn’t much that you couldn’t buy in this world.
Since he came from a mortal world, he didn’t have any of the currency that was used in this realm, which meant that he was nothing more than a poor beggar right now. If he didn’t have money, there were many things that he wouldn’t be able to accomplish.
But if he did have money, he wouldn’t lack the resources that he needed to take his revenge.
So while he could have killed more Fragmented Soul Realm beasts, Lin Fan chose not to do so.
If he was going to kill, he would only do it when he would be able to earn money from it.
After he turned in the mission, Lin Fan didn’t take another quest since it was already getting late. If he went out now, it was very unlikely that he would be able to get back in since there was a curfew that was enforced on the gates.
So after spending a night at a random inn that he found, he headed back to the Adventurer Guild.
Of course, since he chose a cheap random inn, he was attacked in the middle of the night. However, his pets had been able to easily deal with the attackers, so Lin Fan didn’t lose any sleep over it.
After he reached the Adventurer Guild, the first thing that Lin Fan did was find out how many missions he could accept at the same time.
It would be a waste of time for him to come back and forth each time to turn in the missions, so it was better if he was able to get multiple missions at once. He would then be able to turn them all in once he finished them.
After all, the biggest delay was having to go through the check at the gate each time, so doing everything in a single trip would save him quite a bit of time.
The receptionist told him that he was able to take ten missions at once with his current rank, but she also advised him against this.
All these missions were for different areas and it would be hard to find the beasts even in these areas. The missions that Lin Fan took yesterday were exceptions since the Adventurer Guild had already found the habitats of these beasts ahead of time.
For the other missions, when the habitats weren’t located, the adventurer would have to spend large amounts of time tracking down the beasts.
All of the missions also had time limits, so if he had to waste all this time tracking down all the beasts, it was very likely that he would go over the time limit for these missions. Once the time limit was passed, it would be deemed a failure for these missions.
While failing these missions didn’t seem like they had much consequences since there were no financial penalties, there was one important penalty that was fatal for adventurers.
Adventurers didn’t just do missions for money, but also to increase their own rank if they wanted to remain as adventurers.
They had to complete a certain amount of missions before they were able to rank up.
Each completed mission would count as one point, but each failed mission would mean losing ten points.
So if Lin Fan were to fail ten missions at once, it would be fatal for him.
He would have to finish a hundred missions just to make up for this loss.
The receptionist had warned Lin Fan out of the goodness of her heart since she could see that he was a good seed as an adventurer, but Lin Fan ignored her goodwill in the end. He still took ten missions and headed off that day.
As the receptionist watched him walk out of the Adventurer Guild, she couldn’t help giving a sigh and saying, “Young people really are impatient.” But after that, she completely forgot about this matter since this kind of stuff was common.
She just hoped that he would learn from the experience of this failure and learn his mistakes.
But she was shocked when she saw Lin Fan coming back at the end of the day.๐๐ณ๐๐xt.๐๐๐ฆ
She was about to ask Lin Fan why he was back so soon, but Lin Fan didn’t give her a chance to speak as he placed ten beast cores on the table and said, “Please turn these in for me.”
She was shocked at first, but then when she looked at the ten cores that he placed on the table, she was even more shocked.
These ten cores were the cores needed for the ten missions that he had taken. There wasn’t a single one missing!
How had he done it so fast?
It hadn’t even taken him a single day to finish all ten of these missions!
But seeing that Lin Fan wasn’t willing to say a thing, she had no choice but to register these missions for him. After all, the cores that had been placed in front of her were the best evidence that he had completed these missions, so there was nothing else for her to say.
Once she finished, Lin Fan just took his reward and left the Adventurer Guild.
The next day, Lin Fan took another ten more missions and finished them all by the evening.
If it happened once, it was considered a miracle, but if it happened a second time, people would start feeling suspicious.
Because of this, Lin Fan was put under probation by the Adventurer Guild.
โ For the next mission that he did, he was followed by a senior member of the Adventurer Guild who would watch over him.
Lin Fan didn’t have a problem with this since he had already expected this.
After all, tall trees attracted the wind.
People that stood out too much would find it hard to avoid attention.
So Lin Fan brought the senior member along with him on his hunt.
He had been allowed to take ten missions just like before and by that night, the senior member had reported to the Adventurer Guild that there was nothing wrong with Lin Fan. He had finished those missions with his own abilities and there was nothing suspicious with his behaviour.
That was because Lin Fan had tamed a flying pet just for that reason.
The missions that he chose were all around the same area, so the only problem was tracking down the beasts.
That was where the flying pet came in.
He allowed this hawk to fly around and find his targets.
Once they were found, he used strength that was twice as strong as it should be in his realm to easily take care of the beasts.
This hawk could hide its cultivation, so it appeared no different from a normal hawk to the senior member. Flying pets like this were often used by hunters, so the senior member naturally didn’t find a problem with this.
The only thing that shocked him was Lin Fan’s strength, but it made sense with how he was able to complete ten missions in a single day.
After that, Lin Fan was called a rising rookie and he continued that streak as he increased his rank and cultivation realm.
Over time, Lin Fan reached the peak of the Adventurer Guild with his way of completing missions and was known as one of the top adventurers.
Of course, along with this increase in rank, his cultivation realm also soared.
The Embryo Soul Realm, the Child Soul Realm, the Nascent Soul Realm, and the True Soul Realm.
All of this took him around ten years, but by the end of these ten years, he had reached the peak of the True Soul Realm.
There was only a single step between him and breaking through to the next realm.
He was just missing that one thing before being able to break through.
