"Looking for me?"
Lin Fan asked curiously, "What is it about?"
Lin Dong glanced around, then said to Lin Fan, "Lin Fan Bro, there's a big rat inside my treasure!"
"A big rat?"
Lin Fan blinked, thinking, Could he mean the Heavenly Demon Marten inside the Stone Talisman?
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Dong finished speaking, an exasperated voice rang out across heaven and earth.
"You're the big rat! Your whole family is made up of big rats!"
"Kid, how many times has Master Marten told you? I'm a Heavenly Demon Marten!"
"Goodbye, then! Master Marten isn't playing with you anymore!"
As the words fell, a purple-black streak of light shot out from Lin Dong's right palm and flew into the distance.
Buzz!
In an instant, Lin Fan's Divine Sense surged forth, forming a Divine Sense barrier around them.
Bang!
The next moment, the purple-black light slammed directly into the Divine Sense barrier.
As the light dispersed, a purple-black phantom creature resembling a rat appeared before them.
It was Little Marten.
"Ow!"
Little Marten rubbed his head, baring his teeth. "That hurt like hell!"
Lin Dong stared at Little Marten and said, "You big rat really had bad intentions. The moment you saw Lin Fan Bro, you tried to run."
Little Marten snorted. "Bullshit. Master Marten is a good demon. I wouldn't casually attack you people."
Lin Dong continued, "If you're so good, why did you run?"
Little Marten swallowed and said, "That's because... because he's a Reincarnator!"
"A Reincarnator?"
Lin Dong froze, then hurriedly asked, "What's a Reincarnator?"
"When certain ancient supreme powers perish, they can use powerful techniques to preserve a trace of their spiritual essence, then reincarnate. Once the right opportunity arrives, they can awaken that spiritual essence and undergo nirvana once more, returning to life between heaven and earth."
"Those reborn in this way are called Reincarnators. Before awakening, their talent may seem ordinary, but once awakened, they will soar to the heavens until they recover their former cultivation."
Little Marten looked at Lin Fan with a strange expression and asked, "Esteemed one, am I correct?"
Hearing Little Marten's words, Lin Dong's eyes widened.
Recalling Lin Fan's sudden rise and his heaven-defying talent and combat strength, Lin Dong looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Lin Fan Bro, you... you really are?"
"I am simply myself. I'm not some Reincarnator."
Lin Fan shook his head.
He had merely bound the Chen Beixuan Template.
Then he looked at Little Marten strangely and said, "This is the first time I've seen such a weak Heavenly Demon Marten Demon Spirit. I wonder whether devouring you would improve my cultivation."
"Don't! I'm incredibly weak right now. Devouring me won't bring you much benefit at all!"
Little Marten hurriedly shouted.
He was genuinely frightened.
After all, he was not familiar with Lin Fan. If Lin Fan truly devoured him, where would he even go to cry about it?
Seeing Little Marten's expression, Lin Fan could not help but smile.
He was only trying to scare him a little, so that he would show Lin Fan some respect in the future.
Little Marten was not truly evil. That was precisely why he had been able to rise from humble beginnings alongside Lin Dong, never abandoning him and protecting him throughout the journey.
Just as Little Marten had said, he was extremely weak right now. Even if Lin Fan truly devoured him, he would not gain much power.
On the contrary, they would lose a good helper in the future.
That was not what Lin Fan wanted.
"Very well..."
After a brief silence, Lin Fan slowly said, "Since you died so young, I won't devour your Demon Spirit."
As he spoke, he patted his Cosmos Sack, took out more than ten Demon Spirits, and tossed them to Little Marten. "Protect and guide Lin Dong well."
"Haha, thank you, boss. I will."
Little Marten's eyes lit up. Grinning from ear to ear, he flew into the air. With a wave of his claws, a slowly spinning black hole appeared in his palm and swallowed all the Demon Spirits.
Although Lin Fan had denied his identity, Little Marten, who had witnessed his miraculous abilities in secret long ago, believed it without the slightest doubt.
"Alright, I'll head back first."
Lin Fan nodded to Lin Dong, then vanished from the spot in a flash.
Watching the direction in which Lin Fan had disappeared, Lin Dong turned to Little Marten and asked, "Say, Little Marten, is Lin Fan Bro really not a Reincarnator?"
"It's Lord Marten, Lord Marten!"
Little Marten emphasized it twice before saying, "During their repeated reincarnations, some Reincarnators gradually wear away their own spirituality. When that happens, their spirituality is suppressed by the new identity of their reincarnated self, causing them to deny their own past lives."
With a powerful leap, it flew onto Lin Dong's shoulder and continued, "But even so, they cannot change the fact that they are Reincarnators.
Perhaps after they reincarnate once more, the spirituality from their earliest reincarnation will regain the upper hand. Or perhaps it will completely merge with who they are now, creating an entirely new supreme expert."
Lin Fan knew nothing of the conversation between the man and the marten.
After returning to his room, he took out the last Yin Yang Pearl and entered a cultivation state.
As the energy within the Yin Yang Pearl was continuously refined and absorbed, the Pure Yuan Hardening Qi within Lin Fan's dantian grew increasingly dense.
Under such circumstances, his previously stagnant cultivation also began to rise slowly.
Crack!
After this seemingly endless absorption had continued for quite some time, a tiny crack suddenly appeared in the Yin Yang Pearl in Lin Fan's hand.
Crack, crack, crack!
The crack quickly widened and spread across the entire Yin Yang Pearl.
Finally, with a bang, the Yin Yang Pearl in his hand crumbled into a pile of powder.
Clearly, the energy within it had been completely absorbed.
After absorbing the Yin Yang Pearl, Lin Fan's cultivation rose from the Lesser Essence Core Realm to Essence Core Realm Small Perfection.
Feeling the exceptionally vast energy within his dantian, Lin Fan could not help shaking his head with a sigh. "Ah, it's a pity Yin Yang Pearls are so scarce. Otherwise, if I cultivated with these Yin Yang Pearls, I'm afraid it wouldn't take long to break through to the Form Creation Realm."
Buzz!
Suddenly, Lin Fan's body trembled slightly.
The two Spirit Talisman Vortices within his Niwan Palace actually fused together, and a powerful Spiritual Fluctuation began to emerge from within.
Buzzz!
As the Spiritual Fluctuation spread, the fused Spirit Talisman Vortex rapidly twisted.
A moment later, the vortex contracted and transformed into a profound luminous talisman.
Two cracks appeared upon that luminous talisman and continued to widen.
In the end, they shattered, turning into three slightly smaller spirit talismans that floated quietly within Lin Fan's Niwan Palace.
Boom!
The instant the three Origin Spirit Talismans appeared, a spiritual storm immediately erupted within Lin Fan's Niwan Palace.
Vast fluctuations spread from his Niwan Palace, sweeping outward in all directions like an erupting volcano.
Lin Fan had now become a Three-Seal Talisman Master!
