From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

Lin Fan took some Blood and Qi Restoration pills again.

When he recovered his Qi and energy, he summoned the information panel in his mind.

[Current Beast Ability: 3/3]

[Wild Rabbit Abilities Level: 1/3]

[Wolf Ability Level: 2/3]

[Earth Breaker Salamander Ability Level: 2/3]

[Current Physique Level: 5 (1600 Vengeance Points to upgrade)]

[Current Vengeance Points: 1230]

Looking at the vengeance points he had, which were quite far away from leveling up to the next level, he decided to level up his Wild Rabbit Ability instead.

Level up Wild Rabbit Ability, he thought in his mind.

[Ding!]

[Wild Rabbit Ability Level Up Successfully]

[Rabbit's Hearing is now Sound Memory – Listen to sounds as far as 2KM. Memorize and replay any sound ever heard. Re-summon previously heard sounds as phantom echoes that others can hear.]

[Swift Foot is now Shadow Slip – Pass through enemy bodies and obstacles like a fleeting shadow, effectively phasing through them.]

[Magnificent Leap is now Chain Leap – Leap multiple times mid-air, allowing for continuous movement and multi-directional flight-like mobility.]

[Current Beast Ability: 3/3]

[Wild Rabbit Abilities Level: 2/3]

[Wolf Ability Level: 2/3]

[Earth Breaker Salamander Ability Level: 2/3]

[Current Physique Level: 5 (1600 Vengeance Points to upgrade)]

[Current Vengeance Points: 730]

Boom!

Lin Fan leaped into the air, and before he landed on the ground, he leaped again, stepping on the air and going further towards a tree trunk.

As the tree trunk got closer and closer, Lin Fan activated the Shadow Slip Ability.

Whoosh.

He went through the tree trunk like a shadow and landed behind the tree.

The ability upgrade was worth the vengeance points, Lin Fan thought.

When Ho Jie came back, they had dinner, and Lin Fan had a good night's sleep after that.

It had been a long while since he slept without much pressure on him.

….

Next Day.

Physique Peak.

When Lin Fan saw Sun Hai, he was more jovial than usual.

"You weren't around, but the great news is that our Peak Lord Zhang Yi Nian will be out of his secluded cultivation soon."

"Peak Lord Zhang Yi Nian?" Lin Fan asked.

"Yes, in case you've forgotten, he is Zhang Xi's father. He should be at the Soul Transformation Level when he comes out, on par with the other peak lords," Sun Hai explained to Lin Fan.

It was good news for Lin Fan too.

With the peak lord around, the Physique Peak could start to become prosperous with lots of disciples soon.

And, not to mention, Lin Fan might be able to learn more about Physique Cultivation from Zhang Yi Nian.

"Senior martial brother, have you heard about Heavenly Core Pills?" Lin Fan asked.

Sun Hai's face lit up when he heard Lin Fan asking him questions.

His tough love for Lin Fan had finally paid off. This junior martial brother was now humble and willing to learn.

The Peak Lord Zhang Yi Nian would be so proud of him when he comes out of secluded cultivation.

"Good that you are eager to learn.

"The Heavenly Core Pill is a rare pill that can help you break through from Qi Concentration Level to Foundation Establishment Level, without the need for a demonic beast core.

"Too bad for you it's so rare that it's impossible for you to get one."

Sun Hai put his hands on Lin Fan's shoulder and continued, "That reminds me, you need to work hard and try to break through to the next level soon. When I was like you…"

He told a white lie, trying to goad Lin Fan into working harder.

Even though Lin Fan's progress right now was astronomical.

It would take other disciples at least a year to get to Lin Fan's level now.

But here Lin Fan was, already at Qi Concentration Level, stage nine.

On the brink of a breakthrough.

"I got one. Can you help me verify if it's authentic?" Lin Fan asked.

He wanted to make sure that the pill was authentic and wouldn't cause any harm to himself.

"Yeah, it's tough to get one of those Heavenly Core Pills. So, work hard…" Sun Hai stopped when he saw Lin Fan take out a pill bottle.

Lin Fan handed the pill bottle to Sun Hai, and Sun Hai's eyes opened wide when he took out the stopper.

The aroma of the pill immediately filled the air.

Sun Hai took a whiff of it.

It smelled nice and inviting.

That aroma must be the Heavenly Core Pill, Sun Hai thought.

It was unmistakable.

Lin Fan waited for Sun Hai's answer.

After a few moments, Sun Hai looked at Lin Fan and said, "Where did you get this? Let's not waste time and get you ready to break through to the Foundation Establishment Level."

He couldn't believe Lin Fan's luck.

The Heavenly Core Pill would have cost at least five hundred contribution points if it was available.

The Alchemy Peak didn't have the rare ingredients, so they couldn't fulfill the needs.

It was not only the Alchemy Peak. Even the black market didn't have it.

"I got it from some of the acquaintances I made while visiting Sima Liang," Lin Fan explained, not wanting to let others know where he got it.

"That's some acquaintance you made there. Let's get to work."

Sun Hai asked the menial disciples to get the wooden tubs ready.

They immediately scurried around, carrying herbs and elixirs, pouring them into a wooden tub.

When the wooden tub got heated up, steam rose from the mixture.

"Go on in. The Foundation-Rooting Bath will help your dantian to be stable and be your unshakeable foundation for your Qi."

Sun Hai explained as he motioned for Lin Fan to get into the wooden tub.

Lin Fan got into it and took the Heavenly Core Pill.

Immediately he could feel his dantian radiating outwards.

Trying to expand.

This depleted his Qi, and his physique level's attribute of automatically absorbing Qi helped him to replenish it.

The bath then helped to stabilize Lin Fan's dantian whenever it enlarged.

This went on, and Lin Fan felt his dantian's size expand to be three times what it was.

Finally, the expansion stopped, and gradually it was only about solidifying his dantian.

When it was all over, Lin Fan opened his eyes and stood up.

He raised his hands and clenched them into fists.

He could feel all the Qi he had in his dantian.

Right now, he should be able to cultivate the remaining two strokes of the Eight Trigram Beast Hammer Style.

"Congratulations on getting to the Foundation Establishment Level," Sun Hai nodded and said.

He tried not to show much emotion, but his lips couldn't help but curl into a smile.

There was a great future ahead for Lin Fan and the Physique Peak.
