Cultivation of immortality by toad starts with cultivating demons

Chapter 2029 Post-Disaster Celebration, Lin Yuan Recruits

(Bonus chapter)

As he spoke, his gaze unconsciously swept over the people in the hall, but the smile on his face suddenly froze, and a hint of undisguised surprise flashed in his eyes.

As a powerful being in the late stage of the Saintly Venerable Realm, his spiritual senses were extremely sharp. In just an instant, he had already sensed the cultivation levels of everyone in the hall.

The Shen sisters, Ao Qingyao, Yun Rou, and Bai Yaoyao were almost all cultivators in the mid-to-late stage of the Saint Venerable Realm!

Such a lineup is enough to intimidate any region.

When his gaze fell upon Yuan Shan, who was eating meat with great gusto and looking quite magnanimous, his heart was filled with even more turmoil.

He couldn't see through the other party's cultivation level at all, as if the other party was an unfathomable chaos. He could only vaguely feel a vast and powerful pressure, far exceeding that of ordinary Saint Venerable Realm cultivators.

"Could it be... a half-step Great Sage?"

Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously exchanged a glance with Qin Ruochu beside him. Sure enough, she also looked solemn, her eyes filled with awe.

Mo Fan stood up to greet them, a faint smile on his face. He waved to the two of them and said, "It was my oversight that I failed to inform Brother Lin in time, making you come all this way for nothing. I'm sorry to have worried you."

"You two have arrived at the perfect time! Please take your seats. Today's celebratory drinks should be shared with close friends!"

After saying that, he turned to Wu Qilin and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Wu, please trouble you to add two more tables."

"Alright! Please wait a moment, senior, I'll go arrange it right away!"

Wu Qilin quickly agreed with a smile and hurriedly left the main hall, secretly marveling at his own performance.

Even the Lin family patriarch is so respectful to Mo Fan; this senior's power of intimidation is truly becoming more and more terrifying.

Lin Yuan and his wife sat down in the seats next to Mo Fan. Lin Yuan picked up the spirit wine poured by the maid, but did not drink it. Instead, he looked intently at Mo Fan and asked with a smile, "Brother Mo, it has only been a few days since we last met, and I can no longer see through your cultivation level."

May I ask, brother, has your cultivation improved once again?

As he spoke, his gaze turned to Yuan Shan, who was engrossed in his meal, and his tone was tinged with a mixture of probing and awe: "And this senior, as well as all the fellow Daoists, all look somewhat unfamiliar. I wonder if you could introduce my wife and me?"

"Thanks to Brother Torlin."

Mo Fan took a sip of spiritual wine, smiled and said in a calm tone, "After leaving the Azure Dragon Domain, I went to the Azure Wu Continent. I happened to encounter the opening of the Void Ruins and was fortunate enough to obtain a great opportunity there. Now my cultivation has reached the half-step Great Saint realm."

As soon as the words were spoken, Lin Yuan and his wife's pupils shrank, and their hearts were filled with shock.

As expected, he has broken through to the half-step Great Sage level!

This Brother Mo's cultivation speed is incredibly fast, far exceeding their expectations!

Before they could process the news, Mo Fan pointed to Yuan Shan and introduced him, "This is Yuan Shan, my follower. His cultivation level is also at the half-step Great Saint realm."

He then turned to Shen Yueli, Shen Fengyao, and Ao Qingyao and briefly introduced them, saying, "These three are also my followers."

"hiss--"

Lin Yuan and his wife gasped in unison, their shock beyond words.

In just a few days, Mo Fan not only broke through to the half-step Great Saint realm, but also gained a follower of the same realm!

With two half-step Great Saints and several cultivators in the mid-to-late stages of the Saint Venerable Realm, this lineup is enough to rank among the top forces in the entire Azure Dragon Domain. Even the Lin family is slightly inferior!

Lin Yuan's gaze toward Mo Fan was now filled with awe and apprehension.

Qin Ruochu composed herself and looked at Yun Rou and Bai Yaoyao beside Mo Fan. Seeing that the two women were exceptionally beautiful and had an otherworldly temperament, she couldn't help but smile and say, "Brother Mo, these two female Daoists are very elegant and charming. You haven't introduced them to us yet."

"Oh, I almost forgot."

Mo Fan smiled slightly, raised his hand and pointed to the two women, his tone gentle, "These two are my wives, Yun Rou and Bai Yaoyao."

Then, he introduced the two women: "They are Brother Lin Yuan and Sister-in-law Qin Ruochu, the true rulers of Mobei Plain, and the ancestors of the Lin family."

"Greetings, Brother Lin. Greetings, Sister-in-law."

Yun Rou and Bai Yaoyao immediately stood up, smiled slightly at Lin Yuan and his wife, and bowed. Their demeanor was elegant and their bearing extraordinary.

"So you two are Brother Mo's wives. My apologies for not recognizing you."

Lin Yuan smiled and returned the greeting with a cupped hand. His gaze swept over the two women, and a thought suddenly struck him. He tentatively asked, "Brother Mo, judging from the aura of the two ladies, they seem to have also ascended from the lower realm?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Rou and Bai Yaoyao remained calm and did not respond directly, but instead looked at Mo Fan in tacit agreement.

Mo Fan understood, but showed no surprise on his face. He simply smiled and nodded, "Brother Lin has a good eye. They are indeed like me, ascending from the lower realm."

The Lin family is the overlord of the Northern Desert Plains, with influence spread throughout the land. It is not difficult to find out his origins.

Besides, people will find out about this sooner or later, so it's better to admit it openly than to try to cover it up.

"Sure enough!"

A hint of amazement flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes, and his tone was full of disbelief, "Brother Mo, you are truly a hidden master! I never expected that you were actually a cultivator who ascended from the lower realm. You have grown to such a level in such a short time. It has truly broadened my horizons and made me feel ashamed of my own inferiority!"

Despite having already suspected it, Lin Yuan was still deeply shocked when he heard Mo Fan admit it to him.

In his understanding, most of the cultivators who ascended from the lower realm had low cultivation levels, with the strongest being only at the Saint Emperor realm. Once they arrived in the Spirit Realm, they would be captured by various forces like ants, either serving as laborers or becoming furnaces for cultivation. They would be unable to escape control for the rest of their lives, and their lives would be worse than death.

But what about Mo Fan?

Not only did he advance triumphantly to the level of a half-step Great Sage, but he also subdued a group of powerful figures. Such talent and opportunities are simply heaven-defying!

Faced with Lin Yuan's astonishment, Mo Fan simply smiled and did not offer any further explanation.

Whether it was by chance or talent, only he himself knows the hardships and dangers involved, and there's no point in saying more.

Soon after, Wu Qilin personally led his men to move two sumptuous tables into the main hall. During the meal, beautiful female cultivators were arranged to perform dances and play music. The melodious sounds of the instruments and the graceful dances made the atmosphere in the main hall even more lively.

After a few cups of spirit wine, Lin Yuan's face flushed, and his eyes became even more intense.

He pondered for a moment, then finally couldn't suppress his thoughts any longer. He looked at Mo Fan tentatively and said sincerely, "Brother Mo, you have just ascended from the lower realm, so you must not have established a solid foundation in the spirit world yet."

"What are your plans for the future? If you have nowhere to go for the time being, how about you come and serve as a retainer in my Lin family?"

He paused, then emphasized his words and offered a very tempting condition: "As long as Brother Mo and all the fellow Daoists are willing to condescend to come, I, Lin Yuan, can make the decision that from now on, your status in the Lin family will be equal to that of my wife and me!"

As long as my Lin family has food, you will never be shortchanged.

The resources that my Lin family possesses will certainly be shared with you!

Brother Mo, what do you think?

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the hall instantly quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on Mo Fan, awaiting his reply.
