Chapter 249
“That’s it? That’s the best you can do?” Fang Lin asked incredulously. “Only the peak of the Second Stage? Wow, you really just stopped it there right? Can’t you just make me reach the Third Stage already?”
“Moron!” The old man replied angrily. He seemed to be offended not by Fang Lin doubting his ability, but by Fang Lin wanting to reach the Third Stage quickly.
“The Third Stage means the crystallization of a core! For the Immortal Cultivators, they have to make a Dao Core while Godly Practitioners have to create a Mana Core! Crystallizing a core cannot be just done because you want it!”
“There are some criteria required to fulfill before one can create a core! As for you right now, you have only fulfilled one!” The old man’s harsh words managed to shake Fang Lin’s argument.
“Fine…” Actually, Fang Lin knew that the best he can be boosted right now was up to the Peak of the Second Stage. As for the Third Stage, just like what the old man said, there are some criterion needed before he can attempt it.
With him not able to fulfill even one right now, the best he can do was to push on until the peak Second Stage.
“This stingy old man!” Fang Lin thought angrily thought to himself. “He’s clearly wary on me right now! Seems like I can’t wheedle more stuff him…”
Fang Lin then bowed in front of the old man as he said,
“Disciple Fang Lin greets the Master Grandpa!”
“Master Grandpa…” The old man resisted the urge to blow up after being called Grandpa. He took some deep breaths to disperse his bad mood. He then looked at Fang Lin as he asked him,
“If Master Wang Hao can just be like this…” Fang Lin thought to himself amusedly. “Hey master grandpa, remember what you said to me earlier?”
“Ah, about me bringing you the peak of the Second Stage? Forget that one, I was lying about that.” The old man said dismissively.
“What?” Fang Lin stood up, glaring at the old man with daggers on his eyes. He stomped his way towards him, with anger clearly evident on his movements.
“Does that mean you cannot bring me to the Peak of the Second Stage?”
“I can bring you at the peak of the Second Stage, but that is not what I am planning to give to you.” The old man said while snickering. He seemed to like making Fang Lin angry. “Instead of bringing you to the peak of the Second Stage, I will bring you to a more special state.”
“A more special state? Right now, Fang Lin felt as if this old man was actually not pranking him anymore. He strained his ears as he listened closely.
“You know that you cannot reach the Third Stage yet as of now, but I can help you create something similar to that right now.” The old man rubbed his hands excitedly. From the looks of it, even he was enthralled by the idea that he will implement on Fang Lin.
Even the old man’s eyes started to glow with a manic light. Fang Lin took a step back, feeling somewhat scared by the old man’s expression.
The old man then stared at Fang Lin as if he was a great experimental subject. He licked his lips as he slowly muttered,
“I shall help you create an Essence Core!”
