Chapter 258: Second day

Leo had done a final favour for them, using the remaining bit of energy in his soul fragment to provide power for the flying castle. It would ensure that it at least had the necessary amount of power to keep floating, but as for flying off-world, that was a different question.

Still, there was another problem that Lin Fan faced.

Leo had said that he had left him this entire castle, but he didn't know how to control it at all.

But that wasn't a problem since Leo had also planned for this and already took care of it for Lin Fan.

After the Leo puppet had collapsed, the butler puppet from before suddenly came back and bowed to Lin Fan as it said, "Greetings to the new master. Do you have any orders?"

Lin Fan was surprised to see that butler puppet still working, but after thinking about it, it seemed right. If there was nothing here to help him control, then wouldn't he have been scammed?

Lin Fan said, "How do I control this castle?"

The butler turned and left, before coming back with a crystal that he held on a plate with both hands. He offered this crystal to Lin Fan and said, "Master, as long as you inject your spiritual sense into this crystal, it will allow you to integrate your spiritual sense into the castle and control it."

Lin Fan took the crystal and weighed it in his hand before looking it over. He injected his spiritual sense and immediately he felt completely overwhelmed by the amount of sensory input that he felt, causing his head to be filled with dizziness. It was even worse than when he had used the avatars.

He immediately pulled back his spiritual sense and took a few minutes to calm himself down.

It was clear that his spiritual sense wasn't strong enough to control this castle for now and there was no real need for him to move this castle just yet. It had enough power to maintain the illusion array around it to hide itself and Lin Fan couldn't move it since he didn't have enough power to do so.

Lin Fan returned the crystal back to the butler who carefully put it away before asking, "How do I access the storage for the point shop?"

The butler quickly led them through the castle to a room that was in the west wing. When he opened the door, what appeared in front of them was the same point shop, but this time there were no prices on these items. They were all there free for Lin Fan to pick from.

Lin Fan picked out a few interesting things that Angela had chosen before and left the rest of them there since there was no need to bring them back with him. In the future, this place would become an important base for him since he had already inherited the entire realm, there was no need for him to move everything just yet.

So just like that, the inheritance test had ended.

It had taken them over a day to finish this, but the gains were definitely worth the trouble.

But since they had finished it in over a day, it meant that they still had plenty of time to accomplish what they wanted to accomplish before.

With the flying castle as their base, Lin Fan had gone out from time to time to fight beasts located all over the realm to train the Rock Nibbler.

When the Rock Nibbler had been put away a day earlier, it looked like it had been pardoned from being executed. It thought it was finally able to return to the nice cage that it had received back in the shop, but it was thrown in the system's storage. However, the system's storage wasn't inferior to the cages in the shop, so the Rock Nibbler didn't complain about being put there either.

However, when Lin Fan summoned it out again, the happy look that it had on its face immediately collapsed the moment it saw Lin Fan.

Just like that, it was forced to fight various different beasts all over the Sacred Rock Realm, dying again and again. The only consolation it received was that Lin Fan would hit it from time to time with his special suction force, creating the most wonderful feeling for it.

Still, just like that, over the span of the week, the Rock Nibbler was completely changed. It had gone from the most ordinary Rock Nibbler to an elite with a purified bloodline that could easily fight those in the Silver Realm even when it was in the Bronze Realm.

Of course this was considered higher than Lin Fan's normal training results since normally he wouldn't be the one personally training these pets. He would leave them in the shadow cultivation room and let them slowly train by breaking their own limits.

But since this was his first customer in a new city, he had to make a big impression or he wouldn't be able to generate fame for his store, which was why he had personally trained this Rock Nibbler.

Time passed quickly and soon a week had already passed, it was time for them to head back.

There was nothing left for them on this realm, so they walked through the portal generated by the system and they appeared back on the Blue Star Planet.

For them, only an hour had passed on the Blue Star Planet, which was due to time compression by the time laws of the system.

What they didn't know was that there was someone who had been shocked by their sudden disappearance.

…

In a ship orbiting the Sacred Rock Realm.

Chu Ting had been sitting there cultivating when she suddenly opened her eyes.

The three life energy signatures that she had been tracking had suddenly disappeared from the Sacred Rock Realm.

She had a special law that allowed her to track things that she set her target on and she had secretly set them on the three who she had met in this realm.

She had been worried about how they would get off the realm with her fourth brother's forces surrounding the realm, but now it seemed like she had been worried for nothing.

Since that was the case, there was no longer a reason for her to stay here.

There would be a storm when she returned to the Chu Stellar Kingdom and she didn't look forward to it.

…

After coming back to the store, Lin Fan sent Momonga through the Any Place Door and back to the Snow Wind City shop before heading back to the place that he had rented in this Rock Mountain City.

For their trip, they had left Song Shu alone in this place and while it had only been an hour, she was still very angry at them for leaving her at home alone.

Still, Lin Fan had already considered this and he took out an elixir for her. It was one of the elixirs he had taken from the point shop in the castle and it was quite the rare elixir.

But what Lin Fan didn't know was that Angela had also secretly taken several elixirs which she gave to Song Shu in secret.

Without knowing it, the two of them had turned into doting parents.

However, this proved that Song Shu had been right in deciding to follow Lin Fan instead of heading to the upper realm.

The elixirs that she received were much stronger than anything the upper realm could have given her since they came from a realm that was even higher than the upper realm!

With this, she would certainly become much stronger than if she had followed Elder Fu back to the Alchemy King Hall.

The night passed and soon the morning came.

Lin Fan, Angela, and Song Shu headed off to the store early since it was the day they would be serving their first customer. They were confident that with the ability of the store, they would certainly get more customers in the future.

When they arrived at the store, there was already a giant crowd that had gathered outside the store.

Naturally what had happened yesterday had quickly spread across the forums and now everyone was here to join in the fun.

This store had been quite popular on the forums lately because everyone found their advertising method very unique. So many people were here to see if this store was a fake or not.

Jiang You had also arrived very early and was standing just by the door.

When Lin Fan's group arrived, the crowd immediately parted to reveal a path to the door and Jiang You who was standing there.

Jiang You saw Lin Fan and immediately came forward to say, "Owner Lin, do you have my pet ready?"

Lin Fan walked forward through the crowd to arrive in front of Jiang You before saying, "Please wait until the store opens in half an hour. You will receive your pet then."

Jiang You naturally wasn't happy about this as he said, "Owner Lin, you're already here, I'm sure you can just give me my pet now."

Lin Fan gave a snort and released a bit of his aura, forcing everyone in the crowd back before saying, "The store follows a strict schedule, we will only serve customers when it's time for the store to open."

Jiang You couldn't help taking a step back when he felt this aura.

This aura was the aura of a Gold Realm Expert!

While they were considered common in this S Rank City, it still didn't mean that they could be freely insulted since they were that common since they were still experts.

Jiang You was from the Jiang Family, but he was only from a branch family, naturally he didn't have a Gold Realm Expert supporting him.

If the Jiang Family were to choose between him and a Gold Realm Expert, they would choose the Gold Realm Expert any time.

So Jiang You immediately backed down and said, "Yes Owner Lin, I'll wait until your store opens."

The crowd had noticed all of this and while they were surprised to see that Lin Fan was a Gold Realm Expert, they all thought that he was only stalling for them. In their hearts they had all written Lin Fan down as a scammer and they were looking forward to the show that would come.

Jiang You was feeling the same and he swallowed the anger that he felt, but he was thinking, "Just you wait. You'll be paying me my compensation soon, it doesn't matter if you want to act arrogant."

But he didn't know just how wrong he would be.
