Chapter #13. Training the Tiger Hunter Sword Technique
Tonight, Tian Fan spent his time training physically, channeling his frustration into rigorous practice.
Tian Fan recalled the words of his teacher, Guan Wei: "Why are humans more dangerous than beasts?"
Because humans possess inherent qualities of jealousy, malice, and envy, constantly competing and undermining each other.
Other inherent traits include arrogance, lack of compassion, and a absence of mercy and empathy. They will attack anyone, relying on their ferocity and strength, sharp claws, and fangs. Their character is one of cruelty, devoid of justice.
The strong rule, and the weak perish. There is no measure of right and wrong, only a display of power. This is what we know as the law of the jungle.
The strong survive, and the weak are humiliated. The brave oppress the cowardly. The strong devour the weak."
Because of this, his teacher advised Tian Fan to choose his companions wisely, evaluate people carefully, and never become someone who is used or uses others.
And most importantly, to use his strength and intelligence for the benefit of many.
Tian Fan took his teacher's words to heart as his guiding principles.
Moans still echoed from inside the cave, but Tian Fan, hearing them, remained indifferent and casually walked into the cave.
Seeing Tian Fan's arrival, Sun Li smiled with joy, while Xi Shi remained arrogant, even though she knew she needed help now.
This stubborn and spoiled attitude had nearly led to the deaths of Sun Li and herself. However, even in the face of danger, she couldn't bring herself to acknowledge her mistakes.
Tian Fan approached Sun Li. "Senior, how are you feeling now? Is there still any pain?"
"Senior has improved, thanks to the help of Fan. ...Fan, can senior... ask for your help to save Shi'er?"
"I'm sorry, senior. I cannot fulfill your request," Tian Fan replied candidly.
Sun Li understood Tian Fan's refusal, realizing that Xi Shi, with her arrogance, didn't see Tian Fan's sincerity in helping her.
Tian Fan handed four pills to Sun Li and asked him to take two today, assuring him that by tomorrow, Sun Li would be able to walk again.
"Senior Li, senior Xi, I must take my leave as there are some matters I need to attend to," Tian Fan said again.
Tian Fan clasped his hands in a show of respect and promptly departed without a single glance in Xi Shi's direction.
Xi Shi could only watch Tian Fan's departure until he disappeared from her sight. She had wanted to ask for his help and apologize for her behavior, but her ego got the better of her. She cursed herself for her selfishness.
Three days passed, and Tian Fan returned in better spirits. He had recently followed a pack of silver wolf beasts that had attacked the territory of the Earth Bear Beast realm.
The Earth Bear beasts, still injured from the first attack by the silver wolf pack, fell victim to a successful second assault.
Tian Fan was delighted, as he had obtained many new and rare medicinal plants, plus the bonus of the Earth Bear Beast in its final realm stage, a 5-meter tall and 8-meter long treasure for Tian Fan.
Upon arriving at his cave, Tian Fan saw Sun Li standing outside with an inscrutable expression on his face.
Seeing Tian Fan's arrival, Sun Li hurried over and pulled him inside the cave.
"Little Fan, please quickly check on Shi'er. She has been unconscious for two days now."
Tian Fan immediately examined her and reassured Sun Li, "Senior, there's no need to worry; she is perfectly fine. It's likely that she lost consciousness from enduring too much pain."
Tian Fan then gave Xi Shi some pills of his own making.
Without being asked, Tian Fan proceeded to help the still unconscious Xi Shi, with Sun Li by his side.
Reluctantly, Sun Li complied with Tian Fan's request. After treating Xi Shi, Tian Fan handed several pills to Sun Li to give to her.
Seven days passed, and Tian Fan spent much of his time practicing and honing his physical abilities.
He hadn't returned to his cave in several days, as Tian Fan explored the newly conquered territory of the Silver Wolf Beast Pack.
This region, once under the control of the Earth Bear Beast, was rich in high-quality medicinal plants and housed many powerful beasts.
Here, Tian Fan began to test his sword skills, particularly the Black-class sword technique from the sword manual, the Tiger Hunter Sword Technique.
This technique relied on high-speed attacks, culminating in a powerful strike with both hands, creating a sharp sword slash and a blade of wind.
After two days of perfecting the Tiger Hunter Sword Technique, Tian Fan found that a single strike could cleave a large rock and cut down five trees behind it. And that was using just his physical strength.
Tian Fan then trained with his qi, and the results were three times more devastating.
After a brief rest, Tian Fan roamed the forest in search of opponents. He encountered a fierce Forest Boar Beast in its final realm stage, standing at three meters tall. The beast immediately attacked him.
They exchanged blows, with Tian Fan trying to find an opening to use his sword technique. However, the agile movements of the Forest Boar Beast made it challenging for Tian Fan.
His biggest challenge was his lack of experience using the sword and his technique in combat. After some time and adjustments, Tian Fan finally defeated the Forest Boar Beast.
Throughout the day, Tian Fan hunted in the depths of the red forest to further train his sword and newly acquired technique.
Several beasts in their final realm stage fell to his sword technique. Feeling drained of his qi due to the extensive use of his technique, Tian Fan decided to cultivate to restore his energy.
As he was about to begin cultivation, Tian Fan was attacked from a distance. He caught the object thrown towards him and opened his hand to reveal a pill - a Qi-replenishing pill.
Tian Fan glanced in the direction of the attack, even though the thrower was quite far away. His keen senses allowed him to spot an elderly man standing 200 meters in that direction.
Tian Fan realized that the old man must be observing him, so he respectfully saluted from afar.
The old man said, "Hoo... a fascinating young one, being able to detect my presence here."
Tian Fan then consumed the Qi-replenishing pill and, shortly after, finished absorbing its effects.
He approached the old man, saying, "Junior pays respects to Master," as he respectfully cupped his hands.
"Thank you, Master, for the Qi-replenishing pill."
"No need to be so formal, young one... it's just a pill," the old man replied.
Tian Fan sensed that there might be some underlying intention behind the old man's gesture. Feeling that the old man meant well, Tian Fan responded warmly, "As a token of my gratitude, may I be of assistance to you, Master?"
"Hahaha... young one, it seems you understand my intent. I apologize if this old man used slightly improper means."
Tian Fan simply smiled in response.
" Young one, it seems you have been living in this forest for quite some time. Have you ever seen a young man and a woman wearing robes with the symbol of the sun, similar to mine?"
Tian Fan hesitated briefly. Seeing his hesitation, the old man understood his doubts.
"Young one, this old man is their teacher," he said.
Tian Fan remained cautious, not fully trusting the old man yet.
"Forgive me if I am bold, but if you are their master, could you provide me with their names and descriptions?"
The old man then described his two disciples and mentioned their names, Sun Li and Xi Shi.
Tian Fan, upon hearing the description and names, finally nodded and trusted the old man.
"Young one, do you know where my disciples are? Let me accompany you to them. By chance, both of my disciples are currently in my dwelling place. Shall we, Master? The journey is about one day to the south from here, towards my home."
They then set off together to Tian Fan's cave.
During their journey, the old man introduced himself as Liu Bai, the 19th elder of the Sun Sect, tasked by the sect's master to find his two disciples, who had been missing for quite some time.
Chapter #14. Learning AlchemyElder Liubei blew his whistle, and from the sky, a large Garuda beast appeared and landed near the two of them.Tian Fan was awestruck as he had never seen such a massive beast before, and it looked incredibly powerful.Elder Liubei invited Tian Fan to climb onto the back of the Garuda beast."Come, young one, this is the contracted beast of the Sun Sect's master."Tian Fan and Elder Liubei leaped onto the Garuda beast's back.With a single flap of its wings, the beast soared into the air. Elder Liubei released his Earth King's aura to protect them from the strong wind.A journey that would have taken a day was covered in the span of six sticks of incense. Tian Fan pointed out a location to Elder Liubei, who then blew his whistle again, and the Garuda beast landed near the cave where Tian Fan lived.Just as the Garuda beast landed, a lightning bolt struck it. Shandian, Rain, and their group immediately surrounded the Garuda beast.Shandian and Rain appear
Chapter #15: Creating the First Purification PillTian Fan was delighted by Elder Liubei's offer to join the Sun Sect, but he declined it for now. He wanted to continue seeking experiences beyond the sect, just as he had in the Red Forest, where he had gained a lot of valuable experience honing his skills.Elder Liubei understood Tian Fan's desire and was willing to wait for him to join the Sun Sect. He eagerly anticipated the day Tian Fan would return, knowing that he would mature even more after his adventures outside.Tian Fan treated Xi Shi's injuries as Elder Liubei had requested. Xi Shi, in turn, apologized to Tian Fan and asked for his help.Seven days passed, and Sun Li's condition had greatly improved, as had Xi Shi's. During this time, Tian Fan showed Elder Liubei the process of creating his own herbal concoctions and pills, and Elder Liubei reciprocated by demonstrating the purification of pills.Elder Liubei summoned a furnace from his storage ring and placed several medic
Chapter #16: Realm of the Early FighterDays passed quickly, and seven days had already gone by. Sun Li had fully recovered and was just a step away from reaching the Mid Earth Realm. Xi Shi, too, had regained her mobility, and her injuries were healing, with Tian Fan's care and treatment significantly aiding her recovery.Meanwhile, Elder Liubei spent his days practicing pill purification using Tian Fan's methods. In seven days, Elder Liubei successfully created Sky-level purification pills. Elder Liubei and Tian Fan exchanged knowledge about pill-making, even attempting to purify Tian Fan's dirty pills. Although far from perfect, Tian Fan's creations were more effective than the pills available in the market.Furthermore, Tian Fan's elemental qi-filling pills were his own creations, designed to strengthen a cultivator's qi while enhancing their elemental affinity. These pills made it much easier for cultivators to reinforce their elemental attributes.For example, in the case of alc
Chapter #17: Lotus Flower Shop"What items would the young master like to sell?""I will be selling some pills and beast cores," Tian Fan replied politely."Pills? Very well, may Mei Mei see the pills and beast cores you wish to sell so that our appraiser can assess and examine them first."Tian Fan took out a bottle of Qi-filling pills and a fighter realm beast core while whispering to the attendant, "Miss, I will be selling 10 bottles of Sky-level Qi-filling pills and 30 fighter realm beast cores."Mei Mei was surprised by what she heard and immediately asked Tian Fan to wait for a moment. She rushed to the second floor to meet the manager."Mr. Tang... Mr. Tang!" Mei Mei impatiently called out while knocking on the manager's office door.Tang Zun, the manager of the Lotus Flower Shop branch in Greenleaf City, was annoyed because his conversation with Mu Rong, a Level 2 Alchemist from the main pavilion of the Lotus Flower, was being disrupted."Come in... Didn't you hear my instruct
Chapter #18: The Influence of Gold Coins Tian Fan now possessed gold coins, and it was the first time in his life. He couldn't help but wonder how different his life might have been if he had these gold coins earlier. Perhaps his mother wouldn't have died of starvation. Tian Fan made a promise to himself that he would help others facing hardships, just as he once did. Not wanting to dwell in sadness, Tian Fan began to stroll around Greenleaf City, visiting various places and observing how people interacted. He eventually stopped at a clothing store, recalling the events at the Lotus Flower Shop. While walking around, he remembered the incident and decided to buy some clothes, spending just a few dozen silver coins (1 gold coin = 100 silver coins). After changing into his new clothes, Tian Fan's appearance changed, and many people greeted him with respect, especially considering his handsome face. Tian Fan remained composed and continued to explore the city. At the outskirts, he f
Chapter #19: Assisting the Young Lady"Master Mu Rong, Manager Zun, does the Lotus Flower Shop have any water element beast cores?" Tian Fan inquired."We have a few, but they are only at the Fighter Realm level," Manager Zun replied.Tian Fan nodded."I would like to try making a pill to strengthen the water element. Can Manager Zun provide me with one?""A strengthening element pill?" Mu Rong said with surprise, as he had never heard of such a pill before."Young Master Fan, I've never heard of a pill like that. Wouldn't it be better to use existing pills?" Mu Rong offered his opinion."In that case, Master Mu Rong, could you recommend a pill that would be suitable for Miss Zhui?" Tian Fan inquired."Well..." Mu Rong hesitated, unable to provide an answer."What about a meridian-cleansing pill? With that, Miss Xin Zhui's qi and aura have already returned to normal. By giving her this pill again, there's a chance she could awaken more quickly," Zhaojun suggested."Please go ahead and
Chapter #20: Beginning the AdventureTian Fan prepared to leave the Green Leaf Town, dressed in ordinary peasant clothing with a woven rattan bag on his back and a bamboo hat on his head. He walked out of the inn.After passing through the town's gate, Tian Fan headed east. He intended to visit every village and town in the Sun Kingdom, believing that his experiences would sharpen his skills as a physician."It's time to begin the adventure," Tian Fan said enthusiastically.Elsewhere...Mu Rong, Zhaojun, Zhang Wei, and Manager Tang Zun observed Xin Zhui, who was still in the lotus position. Her aura had stabilized significantly after she had taken the second element-strengthening pill.Xin Zhui opened her eyes and immediately leaped out of the window and into the open field. The four of them followed her.In the middle of the open field, Xin Zhui assumed the lotus position once again, and her aura, which had reached the Earth Realm initial stage, began to thicken."Don't get too close
Chapter #21: Free HealingXin Zhui returned wearing new clothes, her skin gleaming white. She felt her skin had become incredibly smooth, and the aura of the Earth Realm final stage radiated from her body.At just 17 years old, reaching the Earth Realm final stage was a remarkable achievement, and Xin Zhui was likely the only one in the entire Eastern Continent to have accomplished it."Tian Fan's pills are truly incredible. Without his help, I could never have come this far. I need to thank him and become friends with Young Master Fan," she muttered.Xin Zhui emerged from her room, wearing her finest clothes. Her face lit up with joy, and a touch of makeup enhanced her beauty.She approached Mu Rong, Zhaojun, Zhang Wei, and Manager Tang Zun, who were waiting in the central room."Aunt Zhaojun, how do I look? Is there anything missing? Zhui'er wants to look perfect in front of Young Master Fan," she exclaimed.The four of them looked at their young miss with a hint of surprise since t
Chapter #914. Hall of Medicine and PurificationTian Fan came to a place in the outer region of the main golden sky sect. This place is a special house that can be visited by cultivators from both inside and outside the sect who need the help of an alchemist.Among the row of buildings, only the one in front is dusty and filled with spider webs. This clearly proves that a building like that small health clinic has never been visited by anyone.Tian Fan looked at the other buildings, there were many cultivators both from the sect's disciples and from outside who used the services of alchemists in the other buildings.He also looked at the three hills where many larger buildings stood which of course were occupied by alchemists who had a higher level and more points."The points that the Kong siblings have are so small that even to take on a mission, they can only take on an F-level mission." Tian Fan thought to himself.Not wanting to give up, he immediately entered the building. The f
Chapter #913. PlayTian Fan stared in amazement at the place he had arrived at because in front of him now was an L-shaped house located to the east of where the alchemy division was."Master, aren't you in the wrong place? Isn't the alchemist division over there?" Tian Fan asked while pointing to the west where a five-story pagoda-like building was located."That's indeed the alchemist division building, but your place is here!" Lang Jingshan said while pointing at the house with the letter L in front of it."You need to know that in this Golden Sky Sect, there are rules and ranks. For the alchemist division, a system of groups, points, and rankings is applied. Since your point count is still zero, your place is here and you join those who are already inside."“If you already have points, you will be placed according to your points and ranking. “Explain Lang Jingshan again.“Then how do you get points?" Tian Fan asked quickly."Of course, by selling the pills you make or doing missio
Chapter #912. HeSettTian Fan and everyone appeared in a spacious room, apparently waiting for several people there. From their clothes it was clear that they were elders of the main golden sky sect.Tian Fan looked at one of the elders present, he smiled slightly because of course he knew and had met him in the golden line.The elder with the bald head smiled at Tian Fan.Liao Peng then ordered Lang Jingshan to divide all the people present and each of them was immediately directed to the elders present. These elders will later become the direct teachers of all of them.After everyone was divided, their placement was evenly distributed, starting from outer students, inner students and core studentsThe core students themselves are directly under Luo Jia, whose students are Tian Fan and Xiao Kang.After all the arrangements were completed they immediately returned to their respective places." I will take my leave, Luo Jia, I entrust everything to you! " said Liao Peng with great aut
Chapter #911. The Main Golden Sky Sect"Tian Fan, the disciple, bowed to the master of the main sky sect, Master Liao Peng." Tian Fan said while cupping his hands towards Liao Peng."I accept your respect." Liao Peng replied with authority."I have done what you wanted, in this way I have now gone against the Elder. And for that, like it or not, now you have to join in." Lang Jingshan interrupted quickly.Tian Fan smiled at what Lang Jingshan said, if he said something like that, it was clear that the commotion his teacher was making was definitely not simple."As long as master hasn't lost any body part then everything is still fine. Isn't that right, great elder?" Said Tian Fan, which suddenly made Lang Jingshan glare at him, while Luo Jia immediately raised two thumbs up at Tian Fan.Suddenly this made Liao Peng, Bai Long and everyone there laugh when they heard it."You insolent student!" Lang Jingshan shouted again."Aish, what I said is the truth. Isn't that nothing like the gre
Chapter #910. PaymentTian Fan opened his eyes, he got up from his sleep and stared blankly around his room where his last gaze was fixed on the window which showed a beautiful morning atmosphere.He got up from his bed, he looked at his body which was wrapped in many bandages to cover the wounds.Immediately he opened the bandages where he removed all the bandages on his body. Only the bandages shackled his arms that he did not remove to cover the four symbols that indicated his level of abilityTian Fan wore his clothes where he wore completely black clothes, tied his long white hair, then tied a white cloth around his forehead.After everything was installed properly he came out of the room he was in. Lan Ren and He Bo were seen in their human forms waiting for him."Are you feeling well, master?" He Bo asked gently."Yes, thank you for the treatment!" said Tian Fan, ending with a small smile."No problem, master!" He Bo replied respectfully.Tian Fan looked at Lan Ren. The mermaid
Chapter #909. Sacrifice WusshhhBooommThe energy wave created by the clash of two energies threw Tian Fan and Bai Rong's bodies until they both hit the array wall hardBurghhHoeeeekkkTian Fan and Bai Rong were both in a crawling position where both of them vomited fresh blood from their mouths."Little bastard…. You…. Lots of tricks…. Too….!" Bai Rong stammered as his left hand wiped the blood that stained his mouth and chin."You're old too, hag... I didn't think your weak body... could withstand my... attack!" Tian Fan exclaimed as he tried to get up from his fall.Both of them forced themselves to stand even though they looked very exhausted because of the long fight they had fought.Bai Rong grinned, he really didn't expect that Tian Fan could master all the basics of black class spells and formations so well without doing intense training, he really made this life and death battle a place to practice and fight at the same time."It seems that you have... reached your limit, y
Chapter #908. Basic TrainingInside a black class array created by Bai Long and his clan's elders, Tian Fan was now faced with a pile of black class scriptures that Bai Long had taken out.Soon he gradually devoured all the contents of the book and studied it carefully.Bai Long himself asked Tian Fan to master the book within five full moons where the other five full moons would become the practice of the results of his training. That was why Tian Fan was placed in a black class array formation because the formation had been specially created where time inside ran faster. One day outside the array is equivalent to one full moon inside the array."So he's the new dragon alchemist heir?" An old man asked Bai Long."That's right elder!" Bai Long replied respectfully."What good luck for our clan." Said the elder as he stared deeply at the pitch black array."I heard that you handed over the affairs of the Bai clan to Bai Qi, what was the result?" The elder asked again, still with his ey
Chapter #907. StepsTian Fan spoke to Tian Zhi, Tian Gi, and Tian Nara in an eight-eyed manner, while chatting he also examined them regarding their physical condition, especially their eyes.He did not expect that the results of the examination matched his suspicions, where none of the three had mastered any of the seven elements present.He asked the three of them in detail to find the cause of the strangeness that occurred in their eyes, and as a result he speculated that it was due to the training they did in the three towers they entered.After finding out like that, Tian Fan now directs their training more to focus on the abilities they have.The three little Tians returned to training in the tower, while Sun Long and the others were now training with Baiyin and Bai Dishi and the other Tian Fan people."If only the father and mother are monsters, of course the children are the same." Said Xiao Xiao who came closer to Tian Fan, the two of them then looked at the three towers that
Chapter #906. Three Colors Tian Fan led everyone up to the second floor of the Golden Palace. The moment they stepped inside, the eight sons and daughters were taken aback by the sight before them Ma Xue lying motionless on a green jade stone. Among them, the most visibly shocked were Nara, Gi, and Zhi, their expressions filled with disbelief and concern as they tried to process what they were seeing.Obviously they wanted to go over and hug Ma Xue, but the energy and red bubbles around Ma Xue made them unable to do it."Father, what happened to mother?" Zhi asked flatly as he looked deeply at Ma Xue."Someone stupid put a white seal on your mother's heart and soul, it made her like this. But behind it all, your mother may have received an unexpected blessing." Xiao Xiao exclaimed interrupting Tian Fan.Of course, this made Tian Fan's face immediately turn sour because of it, while Tian Fan's sons and daughter were seen glaring at Xiao Xiao who looked indifferent."Those fools must h
