Chapter 357: Gathering materials

Since this matter was settled, there was nothing the Cloud Serpent could do except accept this.

Once that was settled, Lin Fan let the Cloud Serpent get up and the Cloud Serpent went over to Xu Lin.

Even if it had no choice but to accept this, it still couldn't help testing the boundary of this new seal that was placed on it. When everyone turned away, the Cloud Serpent tried to attack Xu Lin, but that didn't go well.

The red mark on its head suddenly lit up and there was a wave of red electricity that swept through its body, shocking it until it couldn't move at all. Finally, the red electricity stopped and the Cloud Serpent fell to the ground.

Lin Fan saw this and revealed a cold smile, but he didn't say anything else.

This Servant Needle was something that came from the system, would it really be that easy to break?

It was something that had cost him a million points which at this point was considered a lot for him.

After buying everything last time, he had only managed to save another five million points, so this item had cost him a fifth of the points that he had.

It was a good thing that the shops on the Blue Star Planet were still running and providing him with more points, but there was a limit to how many points they could provide him each day. He didn't know what he would be facing in this upper realm and before he set up a shop here, he should be saving his points just in case…

Still, this was an investment that he was willing to make since this involved one of the twelve great factions. This was just how much influence they had on this upper realm.

Lin Fan brought this group running around in the Green Mist Forest because they had accepted quite a few missions with the Seekers Guild back in Harmony City which was all for the Green Mist Forest. Lin Fan's original goal was to finish all these missions, but then he got caught up in the plot against Xu Lin's family which took up his time.

Now that was over with, Lin Fan was going back to his original plan to gather the materials needed for his missions.

Since they were all Soul Realm Experts, it didn't take them long to find the required things, especially since they had the Cloud Serpent who was considered a local.

The Cloud Serpent had been living in the Green Mist Forest for quite some time now, it had taken over a thousand years for it to finally break through the Soul Realm. So it could be said that it knew the layout of the Green Mist Forest quite well.

With their powerful spiritual senses as Soul Realm Experts which allowed them to cover several kilometers at a time, they quickly found the materials and also quite a few powerful beasts that were hidden away cultivating.

While they were gathering these materials, Lin Fan had let out his pets to have some fun. They had just broken through to the Soul Realm, so they were raring to fight, which Lin Fan didn't mind. He would need the corpses that came from their fights for something else later anyway.

That was, everyone was allowed to go except for Xiao Bai who Angela had trapped.

Xiao Bai was forced to take its little tiger form and was being held by Angela the entire time. Xiao Bai was like the one kid whose mother didn't let them go out to play.

"Not bad, but you need to learn how to control that power better." A beautiful woman in a pure white cloud embroidered dress said.

Xu Lin was panting as he faced the Platinum Realm beast that was standing in front of him. He didn't even get the chance to reply as the Platinum Realm beast charged at him again.

Xu Lin used his blade covered in blue energy to slash out at the Platinum Realm beast that charged at it, but the Platinum Realm beast used its own laws to block this attack before wrapping around to attack Xu Lin from behind. Xu Lin quickly turned and slashed out once again to block this attack, creating a large shockwave as the two sides clashed.

"Keep going, you're almost there." The woman in the white robe casually laid down on her side, watching over Xu Lin's fight.

Xu Lin had a bitter smile on his face when he heard this, but there was nothing he could do since this woman in the pure white robe was in the Soul Realm. Well, it wasn't that he couldn't do anything, but rather this was what he needed to do to finish his training.

While the woman in white just lazily laid there, there was someone who walked up from behind it and asked, "How's he doing?"

The woman in white began by saying, "He's fine. He's actually quite talented…"

But then she immediately jumped up and no longer acted the same way as she respectfully said, "Senior, this is the fifth Platinum Realm beast he's fought, so he's slowly adapting. He should be able to beat it this time."

'

The one who came up from behind was Lin Fan, he had come back from searching for materials.

On the side were the kids that came with Xu Lin, watching with bated breath as Xu Lin fought the Platinum Realm beast.

It had to be known that this Platinum Realm beast was as strong as the one that had almost killed them earlier.

As for the woman in the white robe, she was the Cloud Serpent after she had taken her human form.

Earlier, Lin Fan had slapped it on the head and said, "You're too big, turn into your human form."

Since then, the Cloud Serpent hadn't dared to turn back into its giant serpent form.

Of course, since it had lived its entire life as a beast, it still wasn't used to being in human form. All of its actions were quite crude and not something that a proper lady would do at all.

Lin Fan nodded before saying to Xu Lin, "You have five more minutes. Finish up now we're heading back."

Xu Lin's bitter smile became even wider when he heard this.

This senior Lin, he really didn't know what moderation was…

This was a Platinum Realm beast that was much stronger than him and he wanted him to finish it in just five minutes?

But Xu Lin didn't have a choice, so he used all the life energy inside him and pulled some out of the Cloud Serpent as he slashed down once again at the Platinum Realm beast.

The Platinum Realm beast was unable to block it this time since this attack contained the power of the Cloud Serpent, a King Beast. It was smashed into the ground like the four previous Platinum Realm beasts.

Since Lin Fan had accomplished all his goals, he immediately called back all his pets and put them away along with the beast corpses they had brought back. That is, all of them except for Xiao Bai who Angela refused to part with.

In the end, Angela was still the one person that Lin Fan could never deal with, so he just left Xiao Bai outside in Angela's hands.

At first, Xiao Bai had enjoyed being in Angela's hands, but after the constant petting and ruffling of its fur, it looked at Lin Fan with a look of entreaty. However, Lin Fan turned away when it looked at him like this.

Lin Fan was definitely a whipped man in this relationship…

It didn't take them long to return to Harmony City and before heading to the Xu Family, they headed to the Seekers Guild since Lin Fan wanted to turn in his missions first.

When they arrived, it was already night time since they had spent the entire day wandering around in the Green Mist Forest.

The Seekers Guild operated on a 24/7 basis, with rotating shifts since seeker work was very unstable. There were plenty of seekers that went out in the middle of the night because there were some nocturnal beasts that only came out at night. As such, there was a need for someone to be on duty during the night.

Since it was night time, the bar in the Seekers Guild was much more lively compared to during the day time. Along with this change, the receptionist behind the counter had also changed.

Lin Fan went straight up to the counter and with a wave of his hand, he brought out all the materials needed for his missions and then took out his seeker license.

The receptionist was surprised, but being the professional that she was, she quickly took care of the processing for this.

In just a single day, Lin Fan had jumped up from a F rank to a D rank. These D rank missions that he finished were all worth around a hundred points and he had finished around ten of them, giving him the thousand points that he needed to reach D rank.

This was very fast progress, but it wasn't the fastest progress recorded.

However, Lin Fan wasn't just done with handing in these quests, there was something else he had to do.

Lin Fan asked the receptionist, "Do you know where the guild's beast sale counter is? I took care of some beasts on my way back and I want to sell them to the guild."
