He had given up all hope for this human-tier cultivation technique creation guide. It might as well have said nothing. Fortunately, he still had seven hundred points and could keep drawing.
This lottery business could really go to your head.
Although he disliked gambling, these draws could yield good things with a single try, and watching them made his heart flutter.
"Another 100-point draw."
"Let's go."
Consumed 100 points. Bronze draw: thank you for your patronage. Keep trying.
"Fuck!"
Lin Fan felt a pain in his chest. Was this really necessary? He had already gotten a "thank you for your patronage" earlier, and now here it was again. Just how high was this win rate supposed to be?
Another hundred points wasted. His heart ached.
He had worked so hard for those points. How could this happen?
"What a rip-off! I'll do the 300-point draws. Will that work?"
"Let's go. Do both."
Consumed 300 points. Consumed 300 points. Silver draw: thank you for your patronage. Keep trying.
Seeing this notification, Lin Fan was utterly dumbfounded and felt an urge to die. He had never expected another "thank you for your patronage." Did it think he was easy to bully and deliberately set out to fleece him?
"Stop drawing! I'm done! Give me my three hundred points back."
But the points had already been spent. There was no turning back.
He no longer dared to look. He felt that if he kept watching, he would be unable to bear this injustice and spew out a sea of blood.
Silver draw: congratulations on drawing one upper-grade human-tier cultivation pill, the Lion-Tiger Pill.
"Huh!"
Lin Fan instantly opened his eyes, tears streaming down his face. He felt that Heaven had finally opened its eyes and let him win.
If it had been another "thank you for your patronage," he could not guarantee he would ever dare draw again.
Fortunately, his luck had exploded, and he had finally won something. Although it was only a pill, that was better than nothing.
Looking at the pill in his hand, Lin Fan did not hesitate or bother finding out what it did. He simply swallowed it in one gulp.
"What potent medicinal power." As soon as the pill entered his mouth, Lin Fan felt his body begin to burn. He circulated the Body Refining Art and began refining its medicinal power.
Hard Cultivation Points +50. Hard Cultivation Points +50.
This continued until his Hard Cultivation Points reached 16,000 before finally stopping.
Lin Fan opened his eyes, looking somewhat surprised. He had not expected a single pill to increase his Hard Cultivation Points by so much. Then he impatiently clicked the (+) sign.
Cultivation: Body Tempering Sixth Layer (+) Hard Cultivation Points: 0.
What he had not expected was that his cultivation really did rise.
Clear changes also occurred within his body. His flesh seemed to have reached great perfection, and his bones creaked, harder than before.
He had broken through to the Body Tempering Sixth Layer and begun tempering his bones.
"Hehe." Lin Fan's face was wreathed in smiles. The feeling of growing stronger really was wonderful.
At the same time, he had made a new discovery. Swallowing pills and refining their medicinal power could also increase his Hard Cultivation Points. If he had the chance in the future, he could find more pills.
It was just a shame he did not know how to refine pills. Otherwise, he could pop them until he reached max level.
It was still early, and he was not sleepy at all. In this world, those without strength got beaten.
Just like the Flame Magnificence Sect. Its overall strength was lacking, so other sects had set their sights on it, wanting to invade and plunder everything. If he was not strong enough, he probably would not be able to stand his ground when he encountered enemies in the future.
Then he sat cross-legged and began circulating the Body Refining Art.
Hard Cultivation Points +1.
The increase was small, but at least it was fast.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Fan felt his body begin to protest, as though it was too exhausted and wanted to rest.
If he had not experienced what had happened today, he really might have gone to sleep.
But not now.
"Sleep, my ass! Get up and party." Without hesitation, Lin Fan picked up the nine-ring broadsword and slashed himself.
One slash killed him. He did not hold back at all.
Hard Cultivation Points +10.
Ten seconds later.
Lin Fan opened his eyes and immediately felt refreshed and invigorated. Every trace of sleepiness had vanished.
"Sure enough, this undying body really is ridiculously overpowered." Lin Fan discovered that the eternal-tier draw really was awesome. The undying body he had drawn was practically a BUG. Not only did he feel no pain, but after reviving, his entire body returned to peak condition.
Cultivate. Keep cultivating.
All the way until dawn.
Lin Fan emerged from cultivation and checked his Hard Cultivation Points. They had already reached over eight thousand.
It seemed hard work really was the only way forward.
He did not have a single point left now. He had to find a way to earn points, then get back into the lottery.
Although this lottery's success rate was a bit outrageous, the things he won were all pretty good. It was worth continuing to invest in it.
Just then, Lin Fan sensed someone outside.
Creak!
Lü Qiming pushed the door open. Seeing Lin Fan getting out of bed, he hurried forward. "Junior Brother Lin, hurry and get some proper rest. Your injuries haven't healed yet."
Lin Fan said, "Senior Brother, don't worry. I'm doing very well now. The pill Senior Brother Lu gave me was very effective. I feel like my whole body is brimming with strength."
Lü Qiming looked at Lin Fan, finding it somewhat hard to believe. He had been so badly injured. Wasn't this recovery far too fast?
Still, the pill Senior Brother Lu had produced really was extraordinary. Ordinary people did not have such things.
"Junior Brother Lin..."
Yin Xiaotian, Gao Dazhuang, and the others arrived. Yin Xiaotian was carrying a food container. "Junior Brother, this is a nourishing soup I made for you. Although many of the medicinal herbs aren't available right now, it's very good for your body. Give it a try."
Lin Fan smiled. "Thank you, Senior Brother."
But inwardly, he felt somewhat helpless.
What are you guys trying to do, treating me so well? You're making me reluctant to leave.
But that won't do. I have to leave. Otherwise, how am I supposed to reach the pinnacle of life?
Just then, Zhang Long arrived too, also carrying a container. He froze when he saw everyone. "You're all here too, Senior and Junior Brothers." Then he looked at Lin Fan. "Junior Brother, this is soup stewed with a turkey I found for you. It can replenish your blood and vitality. Hurry and eat it."
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
Yin Xiaotian smiled. "I never thought Junior Brother Zhang could be so caring."
Zhang Long glanced at Yin Xiaotian. "Senior Brother Yin, although we usually don't get along, my concern for Junior Brother Lin is completely sincere."
"Is that so? But earlier, at the training grounds, Junior Brother Zhang seemed to have quite a problem with Junior Brother Lin." There was some friction between Yin Xiaotian and Zhang Long.
"You..." Zhang Long had never been much of a talker. Whenever something happened, he generally settled it with his fists.
Gao Dazhuang stepped forward, shielding Yin Xiaotian. "What are you trying to do?"
Seeing this, Lin Fan was speechless and hurried to smooth things over.
Don't fucking end up fighting to the death.
