Full-time monk: I am the prophet of civilization!

I finally mustered up the courage to confess my feelings.

As it turned out, my own grandmother brought a whole bunch of love rivals with her...

'grandmother……'

Zhao Chenying didn't know what to say...

Lu Yi, who was watching from afar, naturally saw what was happening and for a moment showed the same helpless expression as her granddaughter.

She had hinted to Zhao Chenying to make a move quickly, but Zhao Chenying didn't understand.

(See Chapter 22, Magical Technology and Breakthrough to Level 4 Mental Power)

Now, having unintentionally caused trouble for his granddaughter, it seems like karma has come full circle.

"Congratulations to Senior Lü Yi on breaking the forbidden spell."

Upon learning the truth, Lin Fan also noticed Lü Yi, Dean Xiao, and others who were observing from afar and watching the drama unfold.

"Hehe, this is all thanks to your help, Lin Fan."

Since Lin Fan had already offered his congratulations, Lü Yi had no reason to continue being a bystander.

Dean Xiao, Master Lingkong, Granny Lin, and others also arrived quickly.

"Master Lingkong, didn't you go back to sweep the floor?"

Lin Fan rolled his eyes at Master Lingkong in annoyance.

It can be said that he misjudged the situation.

Unexpectedly, this old monk with thick eyebrows and big eyes was just like those old children like Old Man Bao.

He said he was going back, but actually he was secretly eating melon seeds...

"This humble monk foresaw that Benefactor Lin Fan's state of mind would undergo a breakthrough today, therefore I stayed behind to protect you."

The master truly lives up to his reputation; his ability to lie through his teeth is truly remarkable.

However, having indeed broken through his mental barriers and now doing as he pleased, Lin Fan could only smile helplessly at this.

Most importantly, a chubby moon moth was perched on his head, angrily scratching his itchy flesh with its tail feathers.

"Hahaha, stop scratching, stop scratching..."

"I know I was wrong, Little Moon Moth Phoenix, congratulations on your breakthrough to Supreme Monarch."

"Waaaaah~╭(╯^╰)╮"

Upon hearing Lin Fan's congratulations, Yue'ehuang, like a child receiving praise, contentedly perched on Lin Fan's head.

Its tail feathers, like stars in the sky, drifted leisurely.

It looked as if they had put the same Moon Moth Phoenix hat on Lin Fan as the Pioneers hat next door.

Chapter 73 Lanyang City Waterworks

The next day.

Yesterday, the Moon Moth Phoenix was perched on Lin Fan's head, cosplaying as the Mimi Hat, but now it has transformed into a magnificent totem soaring through the sky, its body reaching a thousand meters in length.

Lin Fan, on the other hand, held the Mind Stone in his hand and sat cross-legged on it.

A stream of energy entered his mind from the thought stone.

The more Lin Fan meditated, the clearer his mind became.

Every single detail of yesterday is vividly clear in my mind.

Especially the words left behind by Xing Sui when they parted, which are the greatest motivation for Lin Fan's cultivation at this moment.

"Lin Fan, I will try my best to catch up with you, and I hope you can shine like the sun forever."

Zhao Chenying's bright eyes reflected Lin Fan's figure.

That gentle smile was as radiant as the sun.

"...I will keep my promise, become strong enough, and fight for myself."

"At the same time, I will fight for you..."

Holding all the fragments of the Ice Crystal Bow in her hands, Mu Ningxue firmly expressed her thoughts.

"Lin Fan, we've already started arranging our song. We'll definitely give you a big surprise when it comes out."

Nan Jue embraced Xin Xia and Ding Yu Mian. As a heroine, she was confident that she would never lose to newcomers like Zhao Chenying and Mu Ningxue.

"Brother Lin..."

Each call and each word of belief is the driving force that keeps Lin Fan going.

From the very beginning, I was so naive that I had to rack my brains for ages to think through every single word.

Even now, despite facing a completely different environment, I feel no discomfort whatsoever.

And all of this was due to Lin Fan and Xing Song's secret plotting and the resulting success.

Just as Nan Jue had explained to them, they were partners who progressed together.

The already enlightened state of mind also gave rise to an unstoppable and firm belief.

The mental constraints that had bound Lin Fan for so many days could no longer stop him from breaking through and becoming even stronger.

"boom!"

A crisp sound of shattering shackles echoed in my mind.

After half a month, his mental strength finally broke through again.

Level 4 Mental Strength, late stage, achieved!

Slowly gathering his scattered mental energy, Lin Fan also awoke from his meditation.

"Congratulations, Benefactor Lin Fan, on your cultivation reaching a new level."

Master Lingkong smiled and congratulated Lin Fan.

"Yes, I must thank Master Lingkong for his protection."

Lin Fan nodded slightly, his words still involuntarily connecting with Master Lingkong's act of eating melons and protecting the Dharma yesterday.

After all, the contrast of Master Lingkong left a deep impression on Lin Fan.

He never expected that this kind-looking old monk would speak so boastfully without thinking.

What happened to the rule that monks don't lie?

In response, Master Lingkong could only say that there is no such rule in the entire Buddhist world.

"Moreover, instead of focusing on this poor monk, why not look at the people around you, benefactor..."

"Beside you?"

Upon hearing Master Lingkong's reminder, Lin Fan turned his head to look.

Little Lingling was standing with her arms crossed over her chest, looking adorably sulky.

Lin Fan smiled helplessly, then scooped Lingling into his arms.

"Thank you Lingling for protecting me, Lingling is amazing!"

"Hmph, who needs your thanks..."

Lingling gave a soft hum, but judging from the curve of her lips, she was clearly still a tsundere little girl who said one thing but did another.

And Lingling wasn't the only arrogant girl present.

"Ugh~"

With a single cry, the Moon Moth Phoenix beneath him, like a child, also wanted Lin Fan's praise.

"Good, good, good, Moon Moth Phoenix is ​​great too."

Lin Fan focused his mind and used his large hand to soothe Moon Moth Phoenix, just like petting a cat.

Watching Lin Fan coax the child, Master Lingkong, Granny Lin, and Lü Yi behind him couldn't help but show kind smiles like elders.

Amidst laughter and cheers, the group sped off toward their destination.

……

Lanyang City Waterworks.

"Lin Fan, weren't we supposed to be on an adventure to find treasure? What are we doing here?"

Lingling, held in Lin Fan's arms, looked around but could only see machines and various water pipes.

It lacked the advanced equipment found in research bases, and there was no trace of demons.

Lingling really couldn't understand why Lin Fan had brought her here.

Moreover, before coming here, he specifically asked Zhao to buy the waterworks.

"you guess?"

Lin Fan poked Lingling's little cheek, a smile playing on his lips.

"I won't guess, or I'll bite you if you don't tell me!"

As she spoke, Lingling immediately bared her teeth and claws, looking like an adorable little kitten hissing.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."

Lin Fan poked Lingling's puffed-up cheek again, as if trying to snatch a chestnut from the fire, and only laughed when he was almost bitten.

"Look at that pool of water."

"Ok?"

Not only Lingling, but also Master Lingkong, Granny Lin, and Lü Yi, who were accompanying her, focused their attention and mental energy on the pool.

Unlike Lingling's bewilderment and confusion.

Master Lingkong, Granny Lin, and Lü Yi, the three forbidden spell masters, all showed a look of surprise.

As true forbidden spell masters, all three possessed powerful spiritual abilities that allowed them to sense it.

The reservoir seemed to contain a power comparable to the very essence of the earth.

“Besides that, there seems to be the aura of totems…”

Lu Yi was initially hesitant, but after seeing the excited way the Little Moon Moth Phoenix flapped its wings, he became certain of his premonition.

"Yes, everyone guessed correctly. Not only is there an unclaimed core of the earth below, but it also contains the feathers of the sacred totem Vermilion Bird."

"Suzaku?!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Master Lingkong and Granny Lin were not very familiar with the matter of totem beasts.

But as the guardian of the Moon Moth Phoenix, Lü Yi knew all too well the power of the Sacred Totem.

In particular, this sacred totem is the Vermilion Bird, which is the superior totem of the Moon Moth Phoenix.

Their relaxed, picnic-like expressions turned serious and earnest.

"Lin Fan, is it dangerous at the bottom of this reservoir?"

"Senior Lü Yi, please rest assured, the Vermilion Bird has already perished. What remains below are only its feathers, and there is no danger."

Lin Fan waved his hand, and then...

"Of course, just in case, please remain vigilant later."

“Good,” Master Lingkong nodded in response.

Lu Yi and Grandma Lin both expressed their understanding.

Of course, the cutest one is the Moon Moth Phoenix, about the size of a hat, nestled in Lingling's arms, nodding along with her in its soft and adorable way.

After the explanation, the fish didn't hesitate and jumped directly into the reservoir.

As mentioned earlier, Lin Fan had Zhao's family buy the waterworks before he arrived.

Today, under the pretext of maintenance, the water supply and work were suspended.
