Child of Destiny's Cheat, Yellow Springs Illustrated Record!

The next morning.

Within a rather elegant courtyard of the Su Family.

Lin Fan carefully locked the doors and windows, then retrieved a slightly yellowed Scroll from a hidden spot.

Ever since he had displayed some talent in alchemy, Lin Fan's status in the Su Family had risen considerably. Not only no longer forced to live in the stables, he had also been assigned this courtyard by the Su Family, making it easier for him to cultivate and refine pills.

This Scroll was the Yellow Springs Illustrated Record, which Lin Fan had stumbled upon in a hidden cave while tending horses three months ago.

It was also because of the Yellow Springs Illustrated Record that, in just three short months, Lin Fan had leaped from the Su Family's lowliest Groom to an honored guest.

Originally, Lin Fan had believed that with the Yellow Springs Illustrated Record, he would surely be able to marry Su Xian'er and rise to the pinnacle of life.

Yet just then, Qin Jiuge had appeared.

He had barged into the Su Family by force and stolen everything that had originally belonged to Lin Fan...

Lin Fan secretly gritted his teeth, determined to defeat Qin Jiuge and take back everything that belonged to him!

After taking out the Yellow Springs Illustrated Record, Lin Fan's gaze grew fervent. He sat cross-legged upon the bed, then closed his eyes as his divine sense entered the Yellow Springs Illustrated Record.

Today was the day he would undergo the Yellow Springs Illustrated Record's trial.

So long as he broke through this level of the trial, he would gain the Yellow Springs Illustrated Record's recognition!

Inside the Yellow Springs Illustrated Record.

Lin Fan's divine sense advanced all the way forward. Countless strange, grotesque Demon Ghosts radiating terrifying auras saw Lin Fan and howled as they rushed toward him, as though they wanted to tear him to pieces.

"Trifling tricks!"

Lin Fan snorted coldly and stretched out his right hand. Rays of light carrying terrifying pressure shot from his fingertips.

"Great Yellow Prison Heaven Finger!"

Lin Fan roared. The Great Yellow Prison Heaven Finger swept out continuously, and one Demon Ghost after another was instantly struck by the terrifying attack, dissolving into wisps of black smoke...

The Great Yellow Prison Heaven Finger was a divine ability Lin Fan had obtained after unlocking the Yellow Springs Illustrated Record. It was incomparably powerful.

Relying on the might of the Great Yellow Prison Heaven Finger, Lin Fan broke through this level of the trial without expending much effort.

The Demon Ghosts he encountered along the way had scarcely been able to withstand a single exchange; all of them turned to drifting ash.

[ Ding! ]

[ Congratulations, Host. You have successfully unlocked the second layer of the Yellow Springs Illustrated Record. ]

[ Obtained secret technique: Blood God Spirit Burst Technique! ]

[ Blood God Spirit Burst Technique: By instantly burning the blood throughout one's body, one can erupt with power far exceeding one's current realm! ]

[ Congratulations, Host. You have received feedback. Your cultivation has reached Spirit Nurturing First Layer. ]

"A secret technique that surpasses my current realm..."

A flicker of excitement flashed through Lin Fan's eyes.

He knew that there was still quite a gap between his strength and Qin Jiuge's. Defeating Qin Jiuge had been nothing more than a fool's dream.

But now, after receiving the feedback, his cultivation had already reached Spirit Nurturing First Layer.

With the Blood God Spirit Burst Technique as well, he believed that he could absolutely fight Qin Jiuge—and perhaps even grind this pride of the Qin Family beneath his feet!

What twenty years east of the river, twenty years west of the river!

If there was a grudge, it had to be repaid at once!

He would go find Qin Jiuge right now and stomp this pride of heaven viciously beneath his feet!

Then the Su Family would see who the true Strong expert was!

Su Xian'er was his. No one could take her away!

With that thought, Lin Fan withdrew his divine sense from the Yellow Springs Illustrated Record. Faint flashes of lightning glimmered in his eyes.

"Today is the day I take Xian'er and fly far away!"

Just as Lin Fan was brimming with triumph, convinced that he could defeat Qin Jiuge and take Su Xian'er away with him, an elderly sigh sounded beside his ear.

"Ah... that Qin Jiuge is no simple man. Are you truly going?"

Lin Fan was startled upon hearing this.

The Yellow Springs Illustrated Record was his greatest secret and trump card. He could not let anyone know of it.

If someone truly discovered it, then even if he had to use a secret technique, he would still have to kill people to silence them!

"Who is it?"

Startled, Lin Fan shouted instinctively.

The next moment, a somewhat illusory elderly figure appeared before Lin Fan.

"This old man is the Artifact Spirit of the Yellow Springs Illustrated Record... Only because you unlocked the second layer today was this old man able to reveal himself..."

Seeing the illusory figure, Lin Fan was overjoyed.

He knew that anything possessing an Artifact Spirit was basically no ordinary item, much less an Artifact Spirit before him that could even take human form.

"Qin Jiuge may be at Spiritual Sea Peak."

"But I am now in the Spirit Nurturing Realm as well. With the Blood God Spirit Burst Technique, I can reach the Spirit Sea Realm. Combined with the overwhelming might of the Great Yellow Prison Heaven Finger, I may not be unable to defeat Qin Jiuge!"

Lin Fan raised his head, his eyes brimming with confidence as he spoke.

The elderly Artifact Spirit shook his head. "Little one, you are thinking too simply... Qin Jiuge is the Second Sequence among the younger generation of the Qin Family. How could he possibly have no Strong experts at his side?"

"Even if you win by luck, so what?"

"You can defeat Qin Jiuge, but can you defeat his guardian?"

Lin Fan froze for a moment, then his expression returned to disdain. "I have already thought it through. When the time comes, I will make a wager. Children of heaven like Qin Jiuge are all arrogant beyond measure.

"I only need to seize the chance to take Su Xian'er away!"

"I never intended to kill him. His guardian will not do anything to me, will he?"

Seeing that Lin Fan had already made up his mind, the Artifact Spirit could only shake his head helplessly. "Since you have made your decision, then go. If things truly become impossible, this old man will lend you a hand."

Upon hearing the Artifact Spirit say this, Lin Fan was instantly delighted.

He had not expected this Artifact Spirit, which had only just appeared, to be willing to help him.

Did that mean the Artifact Spirit had some strength?

Unable to suppress his curiosity, Lin Fan asked, "You are an Artifact Spirit. Could it be that you can unleash the power of the Yellow Springs Illustrated Record?"

At those words, a bitter look surfaced on the Artifact Spirit's aged face.

"I am damaged far too severely... I cannot be of much use."

"However, I can draw upon Yellow Spring Power to temporarily raise your strength... You should... at the very least be able to reach the Nirvana Realm..."

Lin Fan was immediately overjoyed upon hearing this.

Originally, he had believed himself to be one realm below Qin Jiuge. By unleashing the Blood God Spirit Burst Technique, he should be able to reach the same realm as Qin Jiuge, then rely on the wonders of the Great Yellow Prison Heaven Finger to defeat him.

But now, with the Artifact Spirit's help, he could actually reach the Nirvana Realm—two full realms above Qin Jiuge!

When cultivators fought, one realm was practically an uncrossable chasm!

Even if Qin Jiuge was the Second Sequence of the Eternal Qin Family, he could not possibly defeat Lin Fan across realms when Lin Fan possessed such a divine skill as the Great Yellow Prison Heaven Finger!

And even if Qin Jiuge had a guardian at his side, could that guardian possibly surpass the Nirvana Realm?

So long as he could reach the Nirvana Realm, even if Qin Jiuge's guardian made a move, he would not fear him in the slightest!

This time, it was in the bag!

At that thought, Lin Fan's mood soared as he strode out of the room.

He was going to find Qin Jiuge and take Su Xian'er back!
