"Sure! No wonder you agreed so readily. You must have long since..."
Daoist Priest Four-Eyes stared wide-eyed, his face full of astonishment.
The Spirit Invocation Technique was his signature skill. How could he simply hand it over?
"Since Lin Fan wants to go, then let him. It'll also be good for him to get some fresh air while there's nothing to do."
Uncle Jiu's eyes flickered when he saw this.
He immediately put on an indifferent attitude and waved his hand.
"You two planned this together, didn't you?"
Daoist Priest Four-Eyes looked toward Uncle Jiu in disbelief.
"Who cares about your Spirit Invocation Technique?"
Uncle Jiu curled his lips and turned to leave.
But inwardly, he was secretly laughing. Lin Fan really was clever.
Lin Fan learned Daoist Magic too quickly. If he could also learn his junior brother's Spirit Invocation Technique, that would be even better.
Who wouldn't like someone capable of combining the strengths of a hundred schools?
There was nothing he could do about it. Others simply couldn't learn it!
Only Junior Brother Four-Eyes was proficient in the Spirit Invocation Technique.
Anyone else?
They shouldn't even think about it!
But Lin Fan might be different. Go on, go on—learn all the good stuff!
Become the new star Maoshan was looking forward to!
"Master, it's getting late. You should go to bed early too."
Lin Fan nodded and pretended to turn back toward his room.
"No, wait! I haven't agreed yet!"
Daoist Priest Four-Eyes was completely dumbfounded. These two had already dispersed in the blink of an eye?
I haven't even spoken yet!
It's convenient for you to bully people. The two of you, master and disciple, sure are perfectly in sync!
"Martial Uncle, then it's settled. Get some rest early."
Lin Fan's voice drifted over from nearby.
The next moment, bang! The room door slammed shut!
"You two... Did I run into ghosts?"
Daoist Priest Four-Eyes wore a bitter expression. He flung his sleeve and angrily returned to his room.
Inside the room.
Lin Fan calmed his mind and regulated his breathing as he sat in the room, then focused his thoughts.
"System, upgrade the Soul Locking Evil Dispelling Talisman."
[Ding! Host has consumed Skill Points. Soul Locking Evil Dispelling has been upgraded from Major Accomplishment to Grand Perfection!]
A system notification rang out.
Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes.
His aura circulated as he activated a talisman.
He raised his sword fingers and pointed toward the empty space in the room.
A massive golden net suddenly rose up on all sides.
It was covered in countless densely packed incantations.
Looking closely, the incantations had now expanded to number in the tens of thousands.
The net itself had also grown by a full circle.
The lines forming the entire net had thickened slightly, as if they had become even more resilient.
As expected, there was still a world of difference between Grand Perfection and Major Accomplishment.
Only then did Lin Fan lower his sword fingers and nod in satisfaction.
"System, optimize the Blazing Fire Talisman."
Lin Fan's thoughts shifted. He had gained a great deal today.
Without any hesitation, he focused his mind!
[System Notification: 300 Merit Points deducted. Blazing Fire Talisman successfully optimized. Congratulations, Host, you have learned the Flowing Fire Curse!]
"The Flowing Fire Curse?"
Lin Fan raised his sword fingers and circulated his aura.
Strands of aura flowed through his minor and major heavenly cycles. Just as he was about to condense the blazing fire—
Buzz~
Strands of aura suddenly surged toward his dantian!
Countless rays of light burst forth in his mind. Every ray was like a sharp blade!
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have triggered the 1% comprehension probability. The Flowing Fire Curse has broken through into the Seven Kill Orders Scripture!]
Before Lin Fan could react, the system notification rang out again.
"One percent comprehension? A Daoist Scripture?!"
System, that was too sudden, wasn't it? I won the prize, and you didn't even give me time to react?
Lin Fan could barely conceal the joy in his heart as he calmed his mind and regulated his breathing.
He seemed to sit even straighter than before.
A book appeared in his mind, radiating an ancient aura.
The book slowly rose above his mind, emanating an imposing presence.
It seemed that even Lin Fan himself could not approach it in the slightest.
If demons and evil spirits came into contact with it, they would probably turn to ash instantly.
Several rays of light shot out.
Suddenly, a faint ray of light shone down on Lin Fan.
Lin Fan suddenly felt waves of pressure bearing down on him.
His head split with pain in an instant.
The force of this pressure was actually more than twice as strong as the aura released by that Evil Cultivator at the fifth level of the Innate Realm.
This terrifying pressure was merely a faint reflected ray of light.
If the entire beam had shone down, even his sea of consciousness would probably have been destroyed.
Just what kind of Daoist Scripture was this?
Its mere aura was already so terrifying.
Suddenly, the ancient book's light faded.
One after another, illusory images surged into Lin Fan's mind.
[System Notification: Congratulations, Host, you have mastered the first form of the Seven Kill Orders Scripture—the Shattering Order.]
A group of corpses suddenly rose within his sea of consciousness, with zombies scattered everywhere.
The zombies howled and roared.
An illusory figure stood steady as a mountain amid the mass of corpses.
It raised its sword fingers. Rays of dazzling light burst forth, forming countless flying swords from condensed aura.
At the illusory figure's command, the light swords swept downward like a rain of swords.
The enormous mass of corpses was struck by the swords and collapsed one after another.
As waves of explosions rang out, not a trace of the corpses remained.
They turned to ash.
He hadn't expected the Seven Kill Orders Scripture to contain seven forms in total.
And this was only the first form.
It was far too exaggerated.
The destructive power of this first form alone seemed to be no weaker than the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.
If he comprehended all seven forms, wouldn't he be able to dominate the entire Daoist world?
Suddenly, waves of pure spiritual energy gathered around him.
They struck directly into his dantian, and he felt an intense heat there.
