A mortal, starting with the Heavenly Bottle!

As the leading force in the Chaotic Star Sea, and arguably even an official force, the Star Palace's influence is considerable.

The news of Lin Fan joining the Star Palace spread throughout Tianxing City and the surrounding islands in just a few days.

If an ordinary Core Formation stage cultivator joined the Star Palace, it wouldn't cause such a sensation.

However, Lin Fan was different; he formed his core in less than a hundred years.

If they were disciples of powerful forces or descendants of Nascent Soul cultivators, they wouldn't have such a great influence.

For example, Wen Tianren of Holy Demon Island successfully formed his core in less than a hundred years and is now the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage.

However, it still did not have the same impact as Lin Fan, simply because Lin Fan was a rogue cultivator and had no reputation before.

Under these circumstances, rumors, legends, and even various gossip about Lin Fan began to circulate in Tianxing City.

Lin Fan ignored all of these things and paid them no attention whatsoever.

To outsiders, Lin Fan simply stayed in his cave to cultivate, without making any other moves.

In reality, Lin Fan was traveling in and out of various markets and the four major merchant alliances in Tianxing City under different identities, all in order to find the magical treasures he needed.

This magical artifact is a rare and valuable treasure in any cultivation ground, with even the worst ones costing tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Not to mention those rare and powerful magic treasures, so even though Lin Fan searched for half a year, he still couldn't find a particularly suitable ice-attribute magic treasure.

However, Lin Fan still bought two ice-attribute magic items.

Although it was just an ordinary magic weapon, it was enough for him now.

In addition, Lin Fan also studied various classics and ancient books on weapon crafting day and night, and even consulted some famous weapon crafting masters.

His goal was to refine his natal magic weapon in one go, as this was crucial to his future.

Of course, we cannot be careless in the slightest, and we also need to purchase various materials.

Materials with ice properties are of paramount importance, especially those related to the Ten-Thousand-Year Mystic Jade.

After all, this was an important material for him to refine his natal magic weapon. If he couldn't find it, his original plan would have to be put on hold for the time being, and he would have to choose to refine other natal magic weapons instead.

In addition to these, Lin Fan also asked the Miaoyin Sect to inquire about something else.

That was news about the Thunder Bamboo, because according to the original plot, the Wonderful Sound Sect obtained a Thunder Bamboo that was only a thousand years old.

Although it is only a thousand years old, it cannot compare to the ten-thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo, but it is enough for him at present, and it will not cause too much of a sensation or attention.

But he was different from the others; he had Han Li, his junior brother, who could cultivate the thousand-year-old Heavenly Thunder Bamboo into Golden Thunder Bamboo.

If he can be nurtured, he will be able to refine his natal magic weapon and thus directly obtain the divine power of the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder.

This will be of great importance for the future, and absolutely no mistakes can be made.

And this Miaoyin Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a famous sect in Tianxing City.

Although his strength isn't particularly great, his connections and networks are quite good.

Lin Fan quickly found out information about the thousand-year-old Thunder Bamboo from the original storyline.

Just like the original story, the thousand-year-old Heavenly Thunder Bamboo is now in the possession of a power that is about to fall.

"You mean that faction wants me to become their guest elder? If I agree to this condition, they'll hand over the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo?"

Inside the sacred mountain cave, Lin Fan frowned after hearing the words of Fairy Zi Ling, who had come to deliver the message.

Because he remembered that the other party clearly wanted spirit stones, but now they were asking him to become a guest elder.

But upon closer reflection, although there was a suspicion of taking advantage of someone's misfortune, the other party had not yet been completely defeated. Compared to spirit stones, the other party hoped to continue to preserve them and avoid being completely exposed.

"That's quite a clever plan. So, have you revealed my identity?"

Lin Fan couldn't help but press further. If that were the case, then he had no affection for the Miaoyin Sect whatsoever.

"Senior is too kind. How could we possibly reveal your identity? They simply want a Core Formation cultivator to become their guest elder. If you agree, they will not only offer you Heavenly Thunder Bamboo with both hands, but also give you two thousand spirit stones as an offering every year. We hope you won't find that too much to ask. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask. As long as it's within their power, whatever it may be, they will agree to it, as long as you are willing to become their guest elder."

"After all, if there are no more Core Formation stage cultivators, their entire sect will be completely ruined."

At this point, Fairy Ziling felt a pang of reluctance.

Because this kind of thing is all too common in the Chaotic Star Sea.

But she didn't know that in the original storyline, it was precisely because of this Heavenly Thunder Bamboo that Han Li, who had just successfully formed his core, became an elder of their Myriad Sounds Sect.

Lin Fan's expression turned somewhat strange after hearing what Fairy Zi Ling had said.

After all, this plot should have been his junior brother's, not his.

Moreover, this sect seems to have some issues; it should be the Miaoyin Sect.

But no matter what, as long as Lin Fan can obtain the Thunder Bamboo, that's enough for him.

Once you obtain Thunder Bamboo, you'll have a continuous supply of Golden Thunder Bamboo, making you a true wholesaler of Golden Thunder Bamboo.

"I can become a guest elder of their sect, but the identity needs to be changed. I cannot become a guest elder of their sect under my real identity. Otherwise, not only will I fail to save their sect, but I may bring them annihilation."

"Leaving aside my relationship with Hoshimiya, I've already caused myself a lot of trouble."

"So you can just give me the identity of a rogue cultivator in the Core Formation stage. That shouldn't be too difficult for your Myriad Sounds Sect, right?"

Lin Fan then made another request.

Zi Ling Fairy only remained silent for a moment before agreeing to Lin Fan's request.

"Of course, there is no problem. However, if this Core Formation cultivator were to become an elder of our Myriad Sounds Sect, I wonder if Senior would be able to agree? Please rest assured, Senior, our Myriad Sounds Sect will also give you three thousand spirit stones as an offering every year. We hope that Senior will agree."

While Fairy Ziling spoke lightly, there was actually a hint of taking advantage of the situation.

After hearing these words, Lin Fan nodded helplessly and looked at Fairy Zi Ling with an appreciative gaze.

"In that case, what else can I say? Okay, no problem."

Lin Fan agreed immediately.
