Chapter 191 – Those who work in this line of work, have a strong heart

Meng Fan had some understanding of Lin Jian, as he had inquired about him before.

He had heard quite a bit about Lin Jian's exploits.

For instance, Lin Jian was only a cultivator at the ninth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm and had not yet stepped into the Condensation Pill Realm, yet he often beat up Condensation Pill Realm deacons!

It should be noted that not all Condensation Pill Realm sword cultivators of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect could become deacons.

To become a deacon, one had to be quite strong within the Condensation Pill Realm.

Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't be below the sixth level of the Condensation Pill Realm!

Even Meng Fan couldn't defeat a sixth-level Condensation Pill Realm cultivator unless he used the Sword Seal given to him by Elder Lin, but that wasn't a fair comparison.

Lin Jian could indeed be considered a peak-level talent of this generation in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Barring any unforeseen events, he would likely become a leading figure of the next generation in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Unfortunately, this guy had a penchant for trouble, falling in love with his master.

Now, things were a mess!

Meng Fan shook his head. To be honest, he was quite envious of Lin Jian.

It wasn't because Lin Jian could beat up deacons; Meng Fan was confident that when he reached the ninth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, he could do the same.

What he envied was that Lin Jian was genuinely outstanding, while he himself had to rely on cheating.

Alright, maybe he was being a bit melodramatic!

Meng Fan shook his head and began cultivating within the formation of the Thousand Catty Fall.

As for where Lin Jian would go after leaving the Cliff of Remorse, Meng Fan had already guessed—he would definitely go to Ice Moon Lake to find his master.

He hoped the Shu Mountain Sword Sect would treat these two well!

***

An hour later, Meng Fan finished his cultivation.

In this state, his Spiritual Wind True Qi and Pure Yang Thunder True Qi had indeed made some progress.

But the progress was minimal, pitifully small.

The drawbacks of having a Mixed Spiritual Root became apparent during cultivation; following the standard path was just too slow.

Meng Fan had to "take shortcuts"!

There was still some time before he had to go to Ye Qingyu to get the elixirs in the evening, so Meng Fan left the Cliff of Remorse and went to see Li Xuerou.

It had been a long time since he had seen his "sister," and it was time to check on her.

When he arrived, he found that she was in seclusion.

Meng Fan frowned. No wonder she hadn't come to see him for so long; it seemed she had been in seclusion the entire time!

In less than an hour, he had found out Senior Disciple Jin's name.

The name was somewhat unexpected.

[Jin Mantang]

"No wonder Senior Disciple Jin didn't want to reveal his name; it's quite rustic!" Meng Fan muttered.

He thought that Senior Disciple Jin was probably not the infiltrator.

Because while an infiltrator could change their name, who would give themselves such a rustic name?

However, it was also possible that Senior Disciple Jin was quite cunning and had anticipated others' suspicions, deliberately giving himself a rustic name.

This way, he wouldn't arouse suspicion!

After all, in the world of infiltrators, whether black or white, their hearts were "dirty," and their methods even "dirtier."

If they weren't, they would have been exposed and killed long ago!

"Forget it, no matter who the infiltrator is, I'll just pretend I don't know." Meng Fan reminded himself.

The main issue was uncertainty. If he were sure that Senior Disciple Jin was the infiltrator, there would be nothing to fear.

But what if the Sect Master was the infiltrator?

That would be deadly!

So, Meng Fan decided to ignore the matter and keep his distance from both of them in the future.

It was a pity, though, that he wouldn't be able to frequently ask Senior Disciple Jin for information anymore!

***

That evening, Meng Fan went to Ye Qingyu's courtyard to find her.

"Senior Brother Meng, your timing is impeccable. The elixirs were just finished, and here you are," Ye Qingyu said in her usual cold tone.

Meng Fan smiled and said, "Better to be lucky than early. Besides, if I came too early, I might disturb you, Senior Sister Ye."

Ye Qingyu took out two jade bottles and handed them to Meng Fan.

Meng Fan didn't open them; a sweep of his Divine Sense revealed that each bottle contained over a hundred elixirs.

One bottle contained Condensing Elixirs, and the other contained Spirit Fusion Pills.

Normally, a single batch of elixirs could produce at most forty-nine pills.

Ye Qingyu must have made several batches!

"Thank you!" Meng Fan sincerely thanked Ye Qingyu.

To be honest, Meng Fan hadn't expected Ye Qingyu to be so considerate.

He thought she would be doing well just to make one batch for him!
