Chapter 481: Fragment of the Heavenly Dao Shielding Talisman

Today's reward was actually a fragment of the Heavenly Dao Shielding Talisman, and Lin Fan was both shocked and furious.

He was pleasantly surprised when he saw the Heavenly Dao Shielding Talisman appear, but his mood plummeted—or rather, he became angry—when he saw it was just a fragment.

"System, give me an explanation. You didn't split the Heavenly Dao Shielding Talisman into eighty-one pieces for me to put together like a jigsaw puzzle, did you?"

"There are two pieces of the Heavenly Dao Shielding Talisman in total. Collecting both will allow it to function perfectly."

The system's mechanical voice suddenly rang out in Lin Fan's mind.

"That's more like it. Although two fragments are a bit of a pit, it's barely acceptable."

Lin Fan nodded. At least he had already obtained one fragment, and he believed the other one wouldn't be far off.

"Additionally, this single fragment can also play a partial role. After use, beings above the Land Immortal realm can wake up without being discovered by the Heavenly Dao."

The system's cold voice sounded like heavenly music to Lin Fan, lifting his spirits.

However, it was too late today, so he decided to wait until tomorrow.

Thinking that some of his women would wake up tomorrow, Lin Fan fell asleep happily.

"Detected that the diary owner has completed the diary check-in. Now starting to draw the diary reward... Congratulations to Lin Yueru for obtaining the Eight Linglong Tower. It can be used for attack, defense, storage, and suppression; its uses are infinite."

Lin Yueru received the reward, but she herself didn't know it because she had long since fallen asleep.

"This is good, really convenient, but it's a pity it's not mine!"

The women were a bit envious of Lin Yueru's Eight Linglong Tower. Storage methods in the Immortal Martial Continent were relatively rare, not to mention that this Eight Linglong Tower had other functions.

"The more I look, the more envious I get. No, I'm going to gamble. This time I'll bet ten years of cultivation. I specifically asked the Sixth Senior Brother for advice today; he can use dice as a magic treasure, so he must be very good at gambling. What he said must be very useful!"

Tian Zhao Linger on Dazhu Peak immediately bathed, changed clothes, and began to burn incense and pray.

"Go!"

Tian Zhao Linger said, putting ten years of cultivation into the cultivation furnace. The multiplier pointer on the furnace began to spin, finally stopping slowly at one-half. Ten years of cultivation instantly became five years.

"Damn Lin Fan, you big liar, you cheated me out of my cultivation!"

Tian Zhao Linger was almost driven mad with anger. Her cultivation dropped directly from the late stage of Returning to Void to the mid-stage. She had only just broken through not long ago!

Afterward, Tian Zhao Linger flew away on her Amber Vermilion Silk, preparing to go to Shushan to settle the score with Lin Fan.

"Rumble!"

As Tian Zhao Linger flew over a mountain peak, she saw a white figure dancing with a sword under the moon. As the divine sword in her hand swept out, silver light flickered, splitting mountains and cracking rocks; it was simply infinitely powerful.

Tian Zhao Linger looked closely and saw it was none other than Lu Lu Xueqi of Xiaozhu Peak, and she had actually reached the Undying realm.

"Who?"

"Do you have a copy of the diary?"

Lu Lu Xueqi suddenly stopped dancing and looked into the air. She had clearly discovered Tian Zhao Linger, but Tian Zhao Linger didn't care and instead looked at the diary copy Lu Lu Xueqi had placed on a giant rock to the side.

"You can see the diary copy, so you have one too?"

Lu Lu Xueqi's expression shifted slightly, guessing that Tian Zhao Linger, like herself, possessed a diary copy.

"That's right, I have a diary copy. You didn't use that cultivation furnace function, did you? That thing is really a pit. You must not use it. Lin Fan, that big bad guy, cheated me out of my cultivation. I'm going to Shushan right now to settle the score with him!"

"I used it. Otherwise, how would I have broken through to the Undying realm?"

Lu Lu Xueqi's expression was a bit strange upon hearing this. Is the cultivation furnace a pit? She had received rewards both times; otherwise, she would have had to wait a while longer before advancing to the Undying realm.

"You received a reward? Not one-tenth or one-half?"

Tian Zhao Linger landed beside Lu Lu Xueqi and asked in disbelief.

"No. Both times I put in ten years of cultivation, once for five times the return, and once for ten times. I exchanged twenty years of cultivation for one hundred and fifty years."

Lu Lu Xueqi looked at Tian Zhao Linger with an innocent expression. Isn't getting a cultivation reward as easy as using your hands? This cultivation furnace is so easy to use; she's going to use it again tomorrow.

"Wuwuwu, bullying, this is too much bullying. I followed the Sixth Senior Brother's instructions to bathe, change clothes, burn incense, and pray. Why did I only get a one-half multiplier? Could it be that you have to be in the wild for your luck to be good?"

"This... I don't think so? Although I used the cultivation furnace here both times, I still feel it shouldn't have anything to do with the location."

Lu Lu Xueqi wasn't sure. Does the multiplier really have anything to do with the place?

"Then are you saying my face is dark? But my face is very fair. No, it must be the location!"

Who would have thought that Tian Zhao Linger, a generation of heaven's pride on Dazhu Peak, would start down the path of metaphysics from this day on.

"Forget it, you'll know if you experiment here tomorrow. What do you think of Zhang Zhang Xiaofan, the new disciple Dazhu Peak took in?"

Seeing that Tian Zhao Linger was becoming obsessed, Lu Lu Xueqi didn't try to persuade her much. Tian Zhao Linger would know once she experimented tomorrow. She was more concerned about Zhang Zhang Xiaofan.

"I think the Junior Brother is fine. He's honest and loyal, and can be considered a reliable person. Although he's a bit slow, he cultivates very hard, and the food he makes is not bad either."

Tian Zhao Linger recalled the days she had spent with Zhang Zhang Xiaofan and gave her conclusion.

"But according to Lin Fan's diary copy, he should possess the cultivation techniques of other sects. Have you never thought about telling the Sect Master, Daoist Master Daoxuan, or your father about this?"

"Telling the Sect Master is impossible. As the Sect Master of the Qingyun Sect, if he discovers a disciple under his sect possesses the techniques of another sect, he will definitely expel the Junior Brother from the Qingyun Sect. As for my father, I haven't decided whether to tell him yet."

Tian Zhao Linger was actually quite conflicted. If she didn't say anything, the fact that Zhang Zhang Xiaofan possessed another sect's techniques was like a fishbone in her throat, and she felt uncomfortable.

If she did say something, firstly, she couldn't explain how she knew, and secondly, she wasn't sure if her father would help Zhang Zhang Xiaofan hide it or handle him impartially.

"Do you think he's a good person? Then go and ask him clearly which sect his techniques come from and how he obtained them. If it was by chance, then so be it. If he infiltrated the Qingyun Sect with ulterior motives, then I hope you won't let your emotions cloud your judgment!"

After learning that Zhang Zhang Xiaofan possessed another sect's techniques, Lu Lu Xueqi had been thinking about how to handle this matter without affecting the relationship between Xiaozhu Peak and Dazhu Peak. After all, Su Ru, the wife of the Dazhu Peak leader, and her own master, Master Shuiyue, were close friends, but she hadn't thought of a good solution.

Now that Tian Zhao Linger also had a diary copy and knew about Zhang Zhang Xiaofan, she would leave it to her to handle. Since this matter started at Dazhu Peak, ending it at Dazhu Peak was the best result.

It was best not to let the entire Qingyun Sect know, or it would be hard to clean up later.
