Lulu was surprised to hear this from Momonga, but after working in this store for a bit, she knew that he wasn't a normal person.
She had heard a bit about him from the maids that he had summoned, but she never knew just how powerful he was, so she had always treated him with respect.
She knew that something must be happening with Lin Fan in the back, so she closed the store before pulling Mo Ze Chen out with her.
But before they left, Mo Ze Chen looked at Momonga with a worried look and said, "Is boss alright?"
Momonga looked at him and gave a nod before waving his hand to chase them away.
When they left, the shop fell into silence and Momonga turned his gaze back to the door leading to the back.
…
In the back of the store, Lin Fan could feel that his cultivation was approaching the Child Soul Realm bit by bit.
This was a familiar feeling for him because back in the trial's Illusion Space, he had broken through to the Child Soul Realm as well.
But there was also something that was unfamiliar to him because he was breaking through with a different cultivation technique.
The cultivation technique that he had used back in the Illusion Space was the one that he received from the crow. It was a cultivation technique that relied on sharing one's cultivation with the pets that they tamed, which allowed the pets to take part of the burden of the breakthrough, but also made it much harder for each pet that the cultivator tamed.
But the cultivation technique that Lin Fan received from the system was the Nine True Sun Body Art which relied on the suns inside of Lin Fan's dantian to break through with. So the process was completely different.
Of course, since the Nine True Sun Body Art was a cultivation technique at the God Realm, it was naturally harder to break through compared to the technique the crow gave him.
So this breakthrough that Lin Fan was experiencing was much harder than the one from before.
During this process, the suns inside Lin Fan's dantian released a heat that he never experienced before, but he knew exactly where it was coming from. It came from the golden pen that he had received.
This golden pen released a power that he had never experienced before and it was so strong that it was almost too hard for him to control. Still, he was able to control it in the end.
But now, this golden pen was replacing all the weaker golden energy inside of the sun which created this burning sensation.
Would he be able to control the power from these suns in the future?
However, before he had time to consider that, there was something else that was changing inside of him.
It wasn't the golden sun, but rather it was the black hole that was at the center of his dantian.
The black hole had been growing in size the entire time, had suddenly stopped growing and started to shake. After shaking for a bit, it suddenly started shrinking in on itself, almost as if it was collapsing.
Then after shaking for a bit, it actually did collapse as it shrank until it was only a single speck.
When it reached the point of being only a single speck, it suddenly split itself in half, creating two tiny specks inside of Lin Fan's dantian.
Only after it split in half did it start to grow in size again, but there was a clear difference in size between the two black holes.
There was one in the middle that should be considered the original that was clearly much bigger than the second black hole.
As for the second black hole, it didn't remain stationary like the original black hole in the center of his dantian. Instead of just floating there in the middle, it started spinning around the original black hole like it was orbiting it.
In the end, to Lin Fan, the new form of the black hole was almost like that of an atom. The original black hole in the center was the nucleus with its protons and neutrons while the new black hole circling around the original black hole was the electron.
However, even if the black holes together were smaller than the black hole from before, the absorption force that it generated was several times greater.
It was so great that it was able to curb the powerful golden energy that the suns with the golden pen were generating.
Seeing this, Lin Fan even thought that this was his body's way of adjusting to the new power of the suns. However, what he didn't know was that this guess was only half right.
This was his body adjusting to the increase in power, but it was also the Nine Revolution Pill that had provoked this change in his dantian.
The medicinal power inside of the Nine Revolution Pill also had a comprehension boosting effect that had helped these two parts of his dantian evolve. Otherwise, his body would have most likely undergone a different transformation in response to this breakthrough.
But with this new change in his body, Lin Fan could also feel his physique changing.
The waves of golden energy swept over his body and started refining it while the absorption power helped draw out the excess energy so that it wouldn't hurt him, while at the same time also providing him with life energy to sustain this release of golden energy.
This process continued on for around half an hour before the release of energy slowed down and the absorption force weakened.
But it wasn't over yet since Lin Fan had reached the most critical point in his breakthrough, the actual breaking through to the Child Soul Realm.
Lin Fan focused his mind and allowed the life energy to fill his dantian as he could feel something changing inside of him.
It was as if there was something growing inside of him.
This was the new soul that he had formed when he had broken through to the Soul Realm and now it went from the size of a small embryo to a full sized child.
As this soul inside of him grew, he felt not only his cultivation growing stronger, but also his spiritual senses.
Finally, when the soul had grown to the size of a child, there was one final burst of life energy that was pulled in as he broke through that threshold to reach the Child Soul Realm.
After breaking through, there was silence for a few seconds before Lin Fan suddenly let out a breath of stagnant air.
He had been holding this breath when he had been breaking through, but now that he had finished, he immediately released it because it was messing with the circulation of his cultivation technique.
However, after breaking through, Lin Fan suddenly realized that something was off.
The medicinal power of the Nine Revolution Pill still wasn't gone yet.
It still lingered inside of his body, as if it was looking for a place to go.
When Lin Fan was about to direct his life energy to move that medicinal power, he found that the medicinal power started flowing into his dantian without even being directed.
As it flowed into his dantian, Lin Fan could feel his new cultivation stabilizing.
He had thought that it would take him a bit longer after breaking through to stabilize this cultivation, but now it seemed like that wasn't the case.
This Nine Revolution Pill really could be considered a godly pill, it even helped him stabilize his cultivation after he had broken through.
This really made him want to refine this pill himself.
This Nine Revolution Pill was actually the greatest product of the Nine Revolution Pill Refining Technique, the alchemy technique that Lin Fan had received from the system. It was just too bad that he wasn't able to refine this since he hadn't fully mastered that technique yet.
Lin Fan honestly wasn't even at the entrance of that technique since his cultivation was just too low. While he was able to make lower realm tiers, that didn't mean that he could make the true god pills that came with the technique at all.
It would still be some time before he was able to make the Nine Revolution Pill.
But this experience really made him appreciate the effect that it had.
After he had finished breaking through, Lin Fan started feeling out the changes with his body.
The most obvious ones were the change in the power of the golden energy and the change in the black hole, so he focused on those two.
The change with the golden power was something he could manage since he had the new black hole in his dantian, but the changes with the dantian were strange.
Lin Fan raised his hand in front of him and gathered the absorption power in the palm of his hand.
As the absorption power appeared, Lin Fan could actually see the warps in space that had been formed by it. However, as long as Lin Fan controlled it, he could stop it from forming those warps in space.
Rather, instead of controlling it, he was just weakening it so that it didn't tear the space laws around him keeping space normal.
But then he started using more of that absorption power until it had formed a black hole in the center of his hand.
As he stared at this black hole in his hand, Lin Fan suddenly had an idea.
He raised his hand and pushed out with his palm.
