From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master-Chapter 376: Recruitment

"I'm just browsing around," Lin Fan said and he glanced at the items that were placed in front of Zhang Xi.

There weren't many but pills and some artifacts.

Nothing extraordinary or anything that seemed interesting.

"You might find something that could help over there." Zhang Xi pointed to a corner of the black market.

An old man behind a deer's mask was seated with many artifacts laid in front of him.

From the old man's figure, hair and beard, Lin Fan had a hunch who it was.

The chief librarian.

"Thanks. I guess, I would have to check him out," Lin Fan thanked Zhang Xi and walked over to the chief librarian.

"Young man, feel free to have a look." The chief librarian looked at the items in front of him and opened his arms.

"Just let me know what I need," Lin Fan didn't want to waste time.

"I don't know you, young man. But I'm guessing this soul searing stone might be helpful for you." The chief librarian picked up a stone that was pure white and showed it to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan didn't want to blow the chief librarian's cover, so he just asked, "How much for it?

And why do you think it's useful for me?"

"Ten gold ingots for this soul searing stone. It can help cultivators learning soul searing techniques to alter their Qi to have a soul searing attribute," the chief librarian said.

"Here you go." Lin Fan placed ten gold ingots on the display shelf of the chief librarian.

He then took the soul searing stone from the chief librarian's hand.

"Wait..." The chief librarian said.

Isn't he supposed to bargain for less?

Does this mean that the price was too low?

The chief librarian cursed at himself when he realized that Lin Fan was much wealthier than he had imagined.

But it was too late as Lin Fan had taken the soul searing stone and left the black market.

...

Next day.

Lin Fan was on his bed with the soul searing stone.

He injected his Qi into the stone and then directed his Qi back into his body.

By doing so, his Qi was altered with a soul searing attribute that lasted only for a few moments.

He had to take in the Qi with soul searing attribute and slowly alter the rest of his Qi to be able to behave in the same manner using what was written in the manuscript.

This went on for a few hours and it was lunch time soon.

Time passed by much faster when you are focused on cultivation.

Lin Fan had a quick lunch and got back to his Qi altering process.

This went on for another few hours before someone entered the wooden hut.

"How's my junior martial brother doing?" Zhang Xi came in with Sun Hai.

Lin Fan stopped what he was doing and got down from his bed.

"Senior martial sister and brother, have a seat. What brings you here?" He poured them a cup of tea and sat down at the dinner table.

Zhang Xi sat down and smirked.

She took a sip from the teacup and said, "Do you want to get out of the sect?"

"Get out? How?" Lin Fan asked with intrigue.

Zhang Xi sat up straight with her head up and said, "I've convinced father, no, the peak lord, to let me go recruit new disciples for the peak.

"But he had a condition that you went with us.

"Saying that it would be safer if you went."

"Sure, count me in." Lin Fan nodded at the opportunity.

He always knew that he needed to build up the Physique Peak before having a chance at becoming sect master.

Zhang Xi's posture slumped back down as she wasn't expecting Lin Fan to accept it so fast without any hesitation.

"Great, get prepared and we set off tomorrow." She drank the rest of the tea and left with Sun Hai.

Lin Fan quickly went back to what he was doing.

And by dinner time, he could already feel his Qi being altered.

His Qi now had a chilling feel as it coursed through his body and meridian points.

Lin Fan took a few mouthfuls of the dinner, and he couldn't wait to try out the Abyssal Fang stroke again.

With the spear head on the ground, Lin Fan flicked it to be level and he thrust the spear forward.

Crack!

This time the Qi wave didn't stop after the first tree trunk and went on to get through the tree trunks behind.

He counted and it stopped at the fifteenth tree.

Just a little bit more to go before he mastered it, Lin Fan thought.

It will have to do for now.

...

Next day.

Zhang Xi and Sun Hai went over to the wooden hut to find Lin Fan, first thing in the morning.

Lin Fan washed up and they had breakfast before leaving.

"First we will try our luck in Hong Feng City," Zhang Xi said as their horses galloped in the direction of Hong Feng City.

"And if we don't have much luck there, we shall try our luck in Bian Jing City."

"Why don't we try small villages?" Lin Fan asked.

After all, he and Ho Ming were from a small village like An Xiang village.

It made sense to him that they considered villages as a potential recruitment target.

Zhang Xi thought for a moment and recalled Lin Fan's background.

So, she nodded her head and accepted his suggestion.

"Fine, we will try the surrounding towns and villages if we can't get anyone in Hong Feng City."

Sun Hai also agreed to Lin Fan's suggestion.

Imagine getting someone as good as Lin Fan into the Physique Peak.

That should show the other peaks once and for all, how great the Physique Peak was, Sun Hai thought.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at Hong Feng City and Lin Fan led them to an inn he had stayed in previously.

After a long day of travel, they were tired, so they booked three rooms and rested for the night.

Lin Fan had an idea of the most efficient way to find the best candidates.
