BXBX NOVEL 28 Chapter 28
Over the next few days, life went on like normal for Lin Fan.
After the show he had put on at the Seeker Guild, his store had gained quite a bit of fame among the seekers.
As well, after Luo Qing\'s demonstration of her pet during the exam, there were quite a few students that had spent money to learn about his shop.
So there were many more customers that came during this time, but most of them were scared off by the prices that he offered.
But there were a few repeat customers that came out of this since they couldn\'t quit once they had a taste of what the store offered.
The two most prominent cases of this were Murong Quan and Yang Xin.
Murong Quan now came daily to train his pet and whenever he came, he would always hang around Lin Fan like a little brother, but Lin Fan always ignored him.
Yang Xin had come as well to buy pet food and a few ingredients for his grandfather, but he dropped in irregularly since he still had his seeker job.
On one of his trips, he had also brought Boss Gao and the others over.
They had told Lin Fan that Hou Zi\'s injuries weren\'t too serious and he would be back on duty once he recovered a bit, which made Lin Fan let out a sigh of relief. They had gotten close during their time together, so he considered them friends and naturally worried about them.
But during their visit, Lin Fan always kicked Boss Gao\'s group out since Boss Gao and Mei Roy were flirting in front of him.
How could an old dog like him take people forcing dog food down his throat?
The one customer that Lin Fan had expected to come was Luo Qing, but surprisingly she never came to the store after that one day.
Instead, she came directly to his house now with her dad.
Whenever she came, her dad and his dad would go off to drink and she would be dragged off by his mother.
He didn\'t know what they talked about, but whenever she saw him, she would lower her head with a blush.
It seemed like his mother\'s reach didn\'t just stop with Luo Qing, after coming to the store the last time and seeing Angela, she had been visiting the store more to come see Angela. She even made Lin Fan bring Angela home for dinner almost every day. It had reached the point where he even stayed overnight at the store just to avoid her, but that caused a few flowers to bloom between him and Angela.
But as for the store, business was good since there was a constant flow of special ingredients that was being sold.
After signing the employee contract with Angela, Lin Fan had unlocked the World of Elements as a special cultivation realm that he could freely visit to train and farm ingredients, though it did cost him 100 points per trip.
However, since he did have the ruler of the World of Elements as his employee, the residents brought him special ingredients each time that easily covered the cost of each visit.
Lin Fan went every night when he closed the store for an hour to train and gather more ingredients and when it came to open the next morning, he would bring out the special ingredients.
Lin Fan\'s store had been becoming more popular over the past few days, so there were quite a few sellers with sharp eyes that noticed how cheaply Lin Fan sold his special ingredients.
So when he opened every morning, there were several people who were usually waiting outside to fight over the special ingredients he stocked every morning.
Of course, they only bought the cheaper ones since they didn\'t recognize some of the more expensive ones and didn\'t want to get cheated. But even so, Lin Fan had made quite a bit of profit during the past few days and he had saved up his points in case there was something he really wanted.
He had even saved up quite a few crystals, so he was no longer as poor as before.
Today, after the store closed, Lin Fan went back to the World of Elements with Angela and his pets.
He had gotten into the habit of diving into forests in the World of Elements and fighting the beasts that spawned there naturally whenever he came, so he and his pet had already become much stronger. They were even stronger than when they fought Lord Yu.
But today\'s trip was different.
When they arrived in the World of Elements, Lin Fan was about to go wander around in the forest with Angela, but one of the Spirit Kings had stopped them from leaving.
The Water Spirit King came forward and said, "Ruler, some of my subordinates have found a disturbance in the southern lake. It seems to be related to those damn undead."
Angela knit her brows when she heard this.
Spirits were the embodiment of nature and life, so their natural enemies were the undead who embodied death and destruction.
The World of Elements had been at war with the undeads ever since they had both been born, so this wasn\'t something unusual, but it was unusual for the Water Spirit King to personally report it.
Angela waved her hand at the Water Spirit King before turning to Lin Fan, "I\'m going to check it out, you can wander around by yourself."
Lin Fan had heard the report and was actually curious about it. He had heard about the undead realm before, but it was still locked, so he couldn\'t head over there to take a look. Lin Fan really expected it to be a realm filled with treasure like this World of Elements.
Before Angela could leave, Lin Fan called out to stop her, "Wait, bring me with you. I want to see what this disturbance is."
Angela raised a brow as she looked at him, but she still agreed with his request in the end.
With a wave of her hand, Lin Fan was lifted up by the wind and they quickly flew off in a southern direction.
After flying for a bit, they arrived over a body of water, but there was something strange on the surface of the water.
There seemed to be a dark energy that was spreading from the very center of the lake, polluting everything around it.
As Angela released her spiritual senses, she found that there were barely any aquatic species left in the waters and the ones that were left were floating dead on top of the water, having been drained of their life force.
This scene made Angela knit her brows as she sent her spiritual senses even deeper into the water. After reaching the bottom of the lake, she finally found what she was looking for.
At the bottom of the lake, there was an ominous skull with red eyes that was radiating this death energy, but it seemed quite passive. That was until Angela\'s spiritual sense fell onto it and it was like the skull had been activated.
The red lights in its eyes glowed even brighter as the death energy spread, gathering the corpses of the aquatic species on the surface of the water. As the death energy spread over them, it ripped out the bones of these corpses and gathered them around the skull, creating a vortex of bones.
After the vortex of bones spun for a while, they finally gathered together into a single skeleton under the skull that connected together.
When the skeleton came into form, it jumped right out of the water and looked around. Once it saw Angela, the skull revealed an ugly looking smile and said, "Lowly spirit, bow down to your new master."
Angela just gave a cold snort and before the skeleton could do anything else, she brought her palm down to slap it apart, shattering the skeleton.
But she didn\'t stop there, as she gathered her energy to form a prison around the skeleton to stop it from escaping.
The skull\'s red eyes glowed as it looked at her, "Little spirit, you dare try to imprison this great one? Are you ready to suffer the cons…"
Before the skull could finish, Angela tightened her hand and shattered the skull to pieces with her life energy before releasing her hand again, letting it regenerate.
Before the skull could talk this time, Angela said in a cold voice, "Who sent you?"
It was just three words, but her tone was so cold that it dropped the temperature around her by several degrees.
The skull was unfazed by this as it continued speaking in its prideful voice, "This great one is its own master and soon I will be your master too."
Angela knew that she wouldn\'t get anything out of this skull, so she was about to clench her hand to silence it once and for all, but Lin Fan spoke up at this time.
Lin Fan said, "Wait! Can you give this skeleton to me?"
