The Strongest System - chapter-103

Upon descending from the Nameless Peak, Lin Fan wandered around the
quarters of Glory Sect aimlessly. He had no clue towards the ingredients
aspect of his new creation-to-be. But he some knowledge towards the
direction.

The ‘Unspeakable Flaw’ troubling Ye Shaotian and gang required
nourishment towards their kidney’s function. It was just that he had no
background in this field, and had no idea what sort of medication would
be best prescribed.

The Lin Fan of today could be considered a small celebrity within the
outer sect. Disciples who caught view of him would scurry and hide if
they could, and those who couldn’t would greet him respectfully as
Junior Master.

News of Ye Shaotian being cruelly squashed had spread to their ears from
all directions.

And it got more and more ridiculous as time went on.

As the legends would have it, Junior Master Lin of Nameless Peak
ruthlessly specialized in attacks of the lower body. Ye Shaotian, due to
his arrogance and rudeness, suffered a direct burst of his little nuggets.

While these stories got more ridiculous and incredulous, these outer sect
disciples bought them all.

…

While he had a slight clue of how to go about it, Lin Fan still wandered
around aimlessly, not knowing where to head to for the appropriate
medicinal herbs.

“Oh, f*ck me! How could Yours Truly be so silly? I should have gone to
Danding Peak! Not only is it a place for cultivating pills, but it is
also a place for medicinal herbs to grow. I’ll just take small samples
and see if it produces similar effects,” Lin Fan berated his pig brain
for not realizing this simple fact earlier.

With his thoughts straightened out, Lin Fan rushed towards Danding Peak.

First, he would check out how Danding Peak was distributed, and where the
medicinal herbs were located. Then, hehe, would come night time, when he
would make his move.

Arriving at Danding Peak, Lin Fan too was brimming with envy, jealousy
and hate at the sight of the prosperous place.

It was bustling with people. Outer sect, inner sect disciples, everyone
was rumbling through this vast place. He wondered when Nameless Peak
could share the same magnificence.

After staying lost for a while in his envious thoughts, Lin Fan woke up
and gave himself some encouragement. Hmph, this was nothing much. With
hard work and effort, Nameless Peak could reach the same prosperity as
Danding Peak.

Now that the upper portion of Danding Peak was filled with disciples, Lin
Fan could blend into the crowd easily without attracting the attention of
others.

After a while, Lin Fan had no idea where he even was. For precaution sake
so as to not be discovered, Lin Fan employed ‘Stealth’ and entered a
covert state.

The place where Lin Fan was at was pretty desolated, where even the
occasional passerby was a disciple of Danding Peak. It seemed like this
should be the back portion of the peak.

This was the location where Danding Peak disciples resided. Therefore,
external disciples had no rights to enter.

Passing through a wooden bridge, Lin Fan pushed forward. With his current
cultivation base, any disciple below Lesser Celestial would be unable to
realize him passing by. Heck, if he stood still in front of a Lesser or
Greater Celestial, he’d be able to escape without them knowing.

At this moment, a fragrance drifted past his nose, engulfing the entire
space nearby. A small whiff of this thick medicinal fragrance was enough
to perk one up immensely.

Lin Fan leaped with joy in his heart. Seems like this was where the
medicinal herbs were kept in Danding Peak.

Glory Sect was a big sect, and Danding Peak stood at the core of it due
to their ability to produce a large amount of pills to distribute down
for the other disciples for cultivation purposes.

But, the medicinal herbs grown at Danding Peak were all of common rarity.
As for those ingredients for higher graded or heavenly pills, Danding
Peak was unable to nurture them as they only grew in extremely harsh
conditions.

At this time, Danding peak disciples were currently straightening out the
soil and taking care of the herbs. Hence Lin Fan knew he could not make
his move now.

It seemed like it was only at night when the place would quieten down and
turn empty, when he could make his big harvest.

Lin Fan then retraced his path forward and silently retreated.

Lin Fan already had a clear idea about the surroundings of Danding Peak.
There would definitely be no issues even when night came.

Just as Lin Fan was descending Danding Peak, what he saw was a number of
disciples with excitement on their faces, heading towards the other
direction while deep in conversation.

“Senior brother Zong and gang has returned from the forbidden area!”

“This time round Senior brother Song and gang must have given the other
sects a good trashing. These guys must have been daydreaming to have
tried to snatch for the goods from Senior Brother Zong’s gang in the
forbidden area.”

“Cmon, let’s go! Gotta see what sort of goodies senior brother Zong has
brought back!”

…

Silently listening by the side, Lin Fan was also baffled. He had no idea
what these guys were talking about. But since he was free, he might as
well follow and take a look.

Arriving at the Peak’s gate, Lin Fan was absolutely astonished at the
big crowd gathered.

Who the hell was this senior brother Zong? All he did was an excursion
and there was such a lively atmosphere upon his return? Come on, wasn’t
this way too much?

But judging from the conversation within the crowd, it seems like there
was a group of people who had entered. Perhaps, it was similar to how
different sects entered the forbidden grounds to gain training experience.

And just at this moment, a black speck appeared in the sky. It came
closer and closer, followed by a continuous enlargement.

Upon seeing the true identity of the black speck, Lin Fan jolted in his
heart. It was a gigantic ark flying in the sky!

Lin Fan stared with focus. On this gigantic ark’s blue body were
symbols densely carved into it, permeating bright light in all
directions, as though it was using some special technique to allow it to
float in the sky.

During his time in the Saint Devil sect, Lin Fan had never heard of any
playthings like this. It seemed like this Dongling Continent possessed a
number of things for him to discover.

At the sight of this blue ark, the numerous disciples awaiting at the
gate’s entrance broke into cheers of excitement.

‘Victory to Glory Sect! Return in triumph!’

‘Victory to Glory Sect! Return in triumph!’

…

The cheers of the disciples emanated through the skies, seeming to pierce
the clouds.

At this moment, the gigantic ark leaped into the skies above them and
began a slow descent. The disciples awaiting at the gate stared at the
ark with fixated eyes; they were waiting for the glorious return of their
senior brother Zong.

This time, a middle-aged man with a gloomy and stern expression descended
from the ark.

‘Respect to Elder Han’s triumphant return!’ The disciples chanted.

Just at this moment, Lin Fan frowned. This Elder Han carried such a
gloomy face. Despite the cheers of such a large crowd of disciples, there
was no trace of happiness in him. Something must have happened.

Not long after Elder Han descended, a multitude of people followed.

The disciples who were originally cheering quietened down as the sight
shocked all of them.

What was happening?

Every single one of the descending disciples carried a look of extreme
gloom, with blood stains on their clothes. There were even some being
carried down due to severe wounds.

Lin Fan turned his gaze towards the last disciple descending from the
ark. Other than Elder Han, he was next in line with the highest
cultivation base. This guy should probably be that senior brother Zong
they were referring to.

The disciples awaiting at the gate revealed a face of disbelief. It
looked like things had not gone the way they had expected them to.

Could it be that during this round’s forbidden ground training
expedition, Glory Sect…lost?

At this moment, Senior Elder Wuya appeared abruptly in front of Elder
Han. Upon examining the scene, that usually serene face of his showed a
hint of flabbergast.

“What’s this?” Senior Elder Wuya asked in a solemn voice.

“The forbidden grounds expedition this time round…we suffered a great
loss…eight…disciples…” Elder Han trembled, unable to believe it
himself.

“We’ll discuss this after meeting Grand Master,” Senior Elder Wuya
rolled up his sleeves, pulled Elder Han, and disappeared into the skies.

The gigantic blue ark rose up to the skies in a momentary flash,
shrinking to the size of a thumb in the distance and disappearing into
the void of the skies.

Hi guys, do note that the ‘mountain’ given to Lin Fan will be referred to
as Nameless Peak from now on and not just Saint Devil mountain. And so
will all the other mountains. Because it makes more sense understanding
that the landscape of the entire place belongs to glory sect, and each of
the different divisions have a peak for themselves. And because this
current one has been unoccupied for so long, everyone called it nameless,
and it’s in Lin Fan’s long term goal to turn it into the famed peak he so
desires!

Cheers!
