A mortal, starting with the Heavenly Bottle!

Watching the old man carve wood, Lin Fan naturally found a chair and sat opposite him, quietly waiting for the old man to finish carving the wood.

Otherwise he would be kicked out, and fighting here is inappropriate, especially since he needs someone's help.

Before long, the old man finished carving the wood, and the wood carving was a lifelike little monkey.

"Junior brother, what brings you to see me? Please speak plainly."

The old man looked at the wooden monkey carving in his hand and said in a very calm tone.

He didn't pay any attention to what Lin Fan had just said about bringing good things.

"Actually, the main reason I've come here is to make a deal with you, Senior Brother. The deal involves the Great Evolution Technique that you cultivate. If you agree to give me this technique, I can guarantee that I will help you reclaim your position as sect leader within my lifetime. If something happens to you, then there's nothing I can do. What do you think of this deal, Senior Brother?"

After hearing Lin Fan's account of the transaction, the old man's expression changed slightly, but there was no significant fluctuation in his expression. He continued speaking in a calm tone.

"The door's over there, don't bother seeing me out!"

With just six simple words, they were issuing an order to leave.

Faced with this invitation to leave, Lin Fan didn't seem too bothered. Instead, he smiled and said:

"Senior brother, please don't be angry. Let me finish. I'm sure you know my spiritual root aptitude. With it, and with my master's help, it's only a matter of time before I condense my Golden Core and become a Core Formation stage cultivator. If I further cultivate your Great Evolution Technique, my supernatural powers will undoubtedly increase greatly, which will be of great benefit in my bid for the sect leader's position. Don't you agree, senior brother?"

After hearing this, the old man's face showed a hint of emotion.

Why should I believe you?

"How about the oath of inner demons? As long as you agree, I am willing to make the oath of inner demons and I will definitely help you regain the position of sect leader."

Lin Fan spoke with utmost seriousness and solemnity.

Hearing Lin Fan's promise, the old man's expression became even more moved, but he still did not speak or agree.

This stalemate lasted for about half an hour before the old man finally spoke:

"I need to think this over carefully. Once I've made up my mind, I will naturally hand over the Great Evolution Manual to you."

"Then I thank you very much, Senior Brother. Farewell!"

Lin Fan didn't urge him any further. He simply stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to the old man, and then turned and left.

……

After leaving the old man, Lin Fan didn't go anywhere else and turned back to his cave.

……

After returning to his cave, Lin Fan began refining the Fire Thunder Pearl.

After all, both the thousand-year-old Thunderwood and the Fire Spirit Jade have now been collected.

Now that we have gathered everything, we can begin the refining process.

This could be one of the ways to save his life in the future, or at least for him now.

Because Lin Fan is currently only a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Naturally, one would need many life-saving items.

Although Lin Fan was not a master craftsman, he was still able to forge the Fire Thunder Pearl.

In this way, with the Fire Spirit Jade in his hand and the Thousand-Year Thunder Wood, Lin Fan refined more than ten Fire Thunder Pearls in one go.

I originally wanted to refine more, but I ran out of Fire Spirit Jade, and the other fire-attribute materials weren't of very good quality, so the Fire Thunder Pearls I refined weren't very powerful.

Therefore, Lin Fan thought about purchasing another batch of fire-attribute materials.

To his surprise, Lin, the young master of the Thousand Bamboo Sect, suddenly arrived.

Clearly, he spent a considerable amount of time refining the Fire Thunder Pearl.

But these are no longer important matters. What is important is how to obtain the "Great Evolution Technique" from that Senior Brother Lin.

This is a valuable item; absolutely no mistakes can be made.

Lin Fan originally planned to wait until his senior brother Lin got into trouble, and then obtain it from him.

But after thinking it over, I realized that this scenario might not actually happen now, so I took the initiative.

"Senior brother, have you thought this through?"

After leading the old man to the main hall of his cave dwelling, Lin Fan personally poured him a cup of tea and then asked him some questions.

"Of course I've thought it through, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you, Junior Brother. This is the cultivation technique you requested, Junior Brother. Take a look."

The old man took a sip of tea and then took out the "Great Evolution Technique" that Lin Fan had always wanted from his storage bag.

Upon seeing this, Lin Fan's face immediately lit up with joy, and he quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you, Senior Brother. Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Lin Fan took the jade slip and quickly examined it with his divine sense.

After he finished examining it, the joy on his face faded considerably, because the jade slip only contained the first two layers.

"Why are there only the first two floors?"

Lin Fan asked directly, even though he already knew the reason in his heart, he still couldn't help but ask.

"The rest will be handed over to you after you help me reclaim the position of sect leader. At that time, you will be the vice sect leader. What do you think, junior brother?"

The old man also made grand promises without any hesitation.

"Senior brother, you are really generous, you actually gave me this position as sect leader."

After listening to the old man's words, Lin Fan smiled.

The pie in the sky was indeed very impressive, but Lin Fan knew very well what the old man's fate would be.

"Since Senior Brother is so sincere, then I will not refuse. After all, even if I condense my Golden Core and become a Core Formation cultivator in the future, I will only be an elder in this Yellow Maple Valley at most, and I will still be subject to many rules and regulations, far less free than the position of Vice Sect Leader."

Lin Fan readily agreed, which pleased the old man greatly, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Haha, I knew you were a straightforward person, junior brother. In that case, let's join forces from now on and take back the Thousand Bamboo Sect. I happen to have quite a few loyal subordinates in the Thousand Bamboo Sect, and they will definitely help us. In that case, taking back the Thousand Bamboo Sect will be much easier."

The old man was extremely happy at this moment.

"Senior Brother Leader, you are absolutely right!"

Upon seeing the old man's appearance, Lin Fan immediately changed his form of address and offered a flattering compliment.

The old man was even happier to hear this address.

As for Lin Fan, he was plotting how to silently and completely eliminate the old man and obtain the complete "Great Evolution Technique" from him.

For Lin Fan, this matter was extremely important, and he couldn't afford any mistakes, otherwise things would get complicated later.

A powerful divine sense is of paramount importance to cultivators.

Lin Fan was well aware of this!
