Chapter 685 Gathering

As soon as he pushed out with his palm, the black hole that had formed in his hand was pushed out as well.

It went forward until it reached a box of supplies that he had left in the back.

As soon as it hit the box of supplies, the wood of the box suddenly started to fade away.

It was as if there was something that was sucking away the vitality of the wood itself, draining away its life force until there was nothing left.

At the same time, the items that were inside the wooden box also shriveled up and turned into dust.

Lin Fan could feel the life energy entering his body through this black hole and knew that all of these items shriveling up was because of the black hole that he had thrown. It was like the absorption force that he had used to surround his weapons with previously, but now it seemed like he was able to gather it together and use it remotely.

Not to mention that the effects of the absorption force was much greater compared to before.

This must be the effect of the second black hole that was revolving around the original black hole.

When he tried to make multiple black holes that were like the one that he had thrown out, he found that he couldn't make more than one. It seemed like he was only able to gather that absorption power to form a single black hole.

This was in line with the single extra black hole that was inside of his dantian.

Maybe he would be able to form more black holes in his dantian in the future and form more external black holes, but for now, it seemed like just forming one was his limit.

As for where the life energy came from, it came from the second black hole and not the first one at all. It was almost as if they were separate beings…

Would he be able to let the second black hole exist outside of him permanently in the future?

If he were to develop his powers enough, would it be something that he could just control as a separate entity?

There were plenty of uses for this black hole if this was the case.

Still, that wasn't something for Lin Fan to consider now since he wasn't able to do it. What was most important now was finding out the limits of this new black hole that he could release.

So after forming the black hole again, he pulled out some items from his storage and a few of his pets.

By the end of his experiments, all that was left was the dust of the items and the pets lying on the ground with exhausted looks. It almost seemed like they couldn't be brides anymore…

But Lin Fan had accomplished his goal and found the limits of this new power.

He had to admit, this really was a useful power. There were many ways that he could use this in the future.

Once he was finished with all of this, Lin Fan headed back out to the front.

When he came out the door and saw the empty shop, he looked around the store with a confused look before seeing Momonga sitting there.

He walked over and asked, "Where did everyone go?"

Momonga was focused on looking at Lin Fan as he said in a distracted voice, "I closed the store after I felt the fluctuations in the back."

Lin Fan was surprised to hear this, but it wasn't because he was surprised by the fact that Momonga had closed the store. Rather he was surprised because Momonga said that he had felt the fluctuations from the back.

He had thought that the walls of the store would have been enough to block these fluctuations, but it seemed that he was wrong.

The walls of the store could block these fluctuations in the past when he was in the Blue Star Planet because the laws involved in the breakthroughs under the Soul Realm were weak to begin with. However, laws in the Child Soul Realm were a completely different case, so the store couldn't block all of the fluctuations. Though, the store did stop the phenomenon from appearing in the sky above the store.

Lin Fan thought to himself, "It seems like I can't have my breakthroughs in the store anymore. It's best if I go to one of the cultivation realms."

After a period of silence, Momonga suddenly asked, "Did the master of the store give you something? Or did he teach you something?"

Lin Fan was surprised by Momonga's sharp senses, but he honestly answered, "Master gave me a pill to help me break through."

Momonga quickly asked, "Do you still have another one of these pills?"

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "No, there was only a single pill."

Momonga gave a nod and didn't say anything else in response to this.

Lin Fan looked at him with a strange look, but he chose to ignore it in the end.

Since the store had closed, Lin Fan decided to head out and take care of some business. He asked Momonga what he was going to do, but Momonga just said that he would stay in the store, so he just left him there.

When Lin Fan left, Momonga was just left sitting there in the corner by himself, lost in his thoughts.

He wasn't surprised that Lin Fan's master had this kind of pill since he already knew that Lin Fan's master was at a level that far surpassed his understanding.

The thing that had forced him into such deep thought was the residual medicinal power that he had felt around Lin Fan.

This medicinal power was so strange that he didn't know what it was at first, but he knew that it was what had helped Lin Fan make his breakthrough. But after he learned that this was medicinal power from a pill from Lin Fan, he was even more shocked.

After all, with his strong spiritual senses, he could tell that there wasn't a single side effect that had been caused by this pill inside of Lin Fan. This was a pill that shouldn't exist in this world, after all, it was something that could overturn the very laws of cultivation.

It was something that reached the realms of the gods.

Such an item would even be effective on him, so that was why he had been so enthusiastic with his questions.

But after he thought about it, he calmed himself down.

It was natural that the master of the store would give this pill to Lin Fan since Lin Fan was his disciple. It was even more natural that the master of this store would only have a single one of this pill since this pill was clearly something that went against the laws of cultivation.

He shouldn't place his hopes on getting any of these pills from Lin Fan.

But the fact that such a pill existed meant that there were hopes of getting another pill like this. After all, Lin Fan's master still existed and as long as he was there in the store, there was always the chance that he would get more pills like this.

So as long as Momonga worked well for the store, there was a chance that he would be able to get a pill as well.

With the hope of breaking through the bottleneck that had stopped him for so long, Momonga was filled with enthusiasm towards working for the store. Of course, that also meant helping Lin Fan with what he needed.

While he had gotten closer to Lin Fan during this time, he still was on the fence about using his powers in this lower realm.

After all, this was a lower realm and if he did too much, there would be consequences.

But now that he saw this hope, he didn't care about those consequences at all.

Those consequences were minor compared to the hope of breaking through to the next realm. After all, if he did break through to the next realm, that meant that the consequences wouldn't even be considered consequences anymore since he would be strong enough to deal with the people that would annoy him.

So with this, Momonga made up his mind.

It seemed like he would have to get even closer to Lin Fan and this store.

As he thought this, he opened up the interface that had been given to him when he had signed the contract with Lin Fan. As he looked at the points that he currently had, he began thinking of different ways to earn even more points.

…

The next few days were quite silent as nothing happened in Harmony City.

However, that was to be expected since all the twelve great factions had just come back from the Ancient Era Ruins. Not just the twelve great factions, even the powerful factions that had sent their successors into the realm with the tokens that they bought.

With all these powerful factions laying low, naturally there wasn't anyone that dared to create any trouble.

So it was a rare period of peace for the entire Galactic Humanity Alliance.

Lin Fan opened his store as usual and did business as usual, while at the same time building up his strength and gathering more information for his future plans.

But after around two weeks, there was a guest that shattered this peace.

This guest was not someone that Lin Fan was unfamiliar with, but the request that they had this time really was surprising. It was a request that even Lin Fan was a bit helpless against.
