Accidentally invincible!-Chapter 91 - 0: What Else Can I Say

"Friend from the Immortal Sect, your visit to the Earth Demon Plains is most welcomed. It was entirely our leader’s greed for your magical treasure and intent to harm you—we’re innocent, truly!"

An Earth Demon fled in panic, its sinister face now wearing a flattering expression out of fear.

What was even going on now? They admitted this guy was stronger than them, but compared to the leader? There was definitely a huge gap. So how did things end up like this?

Bang!

Lin Fan unleashed the Earth Gang Fist Technique, pounding a combo of strikes that knocked three Earth Demons to the ground. He didn’t even want to waste words with these three nobodies—talking too much was pointless anyway.

"Friend, spare us! Let us live!" one Earth Demon cried miserably, lying on the ground as pitiful as a helpless maiden pleading for mercy before being violated, tearfully begging, "Please, noble warrior, show mercy!"

"We really were forced by the leader!"

To the Earth Demons, the young man before them seemed youthful—perhaps easier to sway, prone to pity. If he were a seasoned cultivator, they wouldn’t have uttered a single word, knowing full well it would be useless.

"Why so much nonsense? If I let you live, who am I supposed to kill for power?" Lin Fan rubbed his shiny bald head as the Green Toad Saber in his hand emitted a cold, eerie glow. He needed to carve up these three critters—there was no point wasting words, and saying more was just wasting time.

Get stronger?

The three Earth Demons were dumbfounded—they didn’t understand. What did him growing stronger have to do with them? Was it really so hard to let them go?

But what awaited them was a slicing attack fast as lightning, mercilessly ending them in a single strike.

Shlick!

Shlick!

Shlick!

No matter the outcome, the sound effects were a must.

As the sound of his saber slicing through the three Earth Demons’ necks echoed, Lin Fan’s mood instantly elevated—perhaps this was what happiness felt like.

A happiness most people couldn’t comprehend.

Lin Fan stood there, gazing at the corpses of four Earth Demons around him, suddenly plunging into a calming sense of reflection.

He had grown stronger.

The loot had dropped.

Oh, heavens above! I, Lin Fan, am willing to dedicate three prayers to you each day—just please bless me with fortune and big loot forevermore!

[Obtained Spirit Root: First Grade Metal Spirit Root.]

[Obtained 80 years of mana.]

[Obtained Sword Skill: Sound-breaking Demon Saber Technique (Minor Divine Skill).]

[Obtained Spirit Root Fragment: Wood Spirit Root Fragment.]

[Obtained Innate Divine Ability: Living Entity Scent.]

[Obtained 25 years of mana.]

At this moment, Lin Fan looked at the spoils in his hands, his heart pounding with excitement, almost ready to leap out of his chest. He hadn’t expected the heavens to show him such favor. Though it wasn’t an over-the-top jackpot, the items were exactly what he needed at the moment.

Spirit Roots were something he had always needed.

That Earth Demon possessed two Spirit Roots, and both were complete. This was the first time Lin Fan had encountered someone who could drop a complete Spirit Root since the beginning of his journey.

Based on his theory, the appearance of complete Spirit Roots was neither related to cultivation level nor the grade of the Spirit Root itself—it seemed purely a matter of luck.

The mana drops totaled to 105 years.

[Sound-breaking Demon Saber Technique (Minor Divine Skill): A minor divine skill saber technique with extreme mana consumption. Mastered to its highest level, a single saber strike can reach the speed of sound.]

[Living Entity Scent (Bronze Grade): An innate divine ability of Earth Demons, its exquisitely sensitive sense of smell can detect scents undetectable by ordinary beings.]

Lin Fan had no desire to speak further. The loot from four Earth Demons wasn’t particularly abundant.

But the things that dropped were exactly what he needed.

Especially from the strongest Earth Demon—it was indeed formidable.

The only thing that annoyed Lin Fan was this dim-witted system. Some items were already on the bodies, and with just a little effort, he could have looted them directly. Yet, the system listed them as part of the drop—wasn’t this deliberately lowering the drop rate?

Forget it.

Might as well loot properly.

Lin Fan rummaged all over the Earth Demons’ corpses—not to take advantage, of course. He had to admit, however, that the Earth Demons’ muscular builds were quite impressive in a way most people couldn’t compare to.

Found it.

From the strongest Earth Demon, he retrieved a Pure Yang Pill and a broken Demon Worm Inner Armor. But true to its description, the armor was so damaged it was no longer wearable. Still, its materials were high-quality, though not particularly useful to him at the moment.

With no storage space, he simply discarded the broken inner armor to the side.

"Ugh, four Earth Demons and just a single pill? Isn’t that way too miserly?" Lin Fan muttered, unsure what else to say.

[Pure Yang Pill: Refined using Golden Crown Grass, Taihua Dew, and several dozen other precious Spirit Grasses. Leaves behind a trace of Pure Yang Power in the body, capable of dispelling evil and demons, and grants five years of mana upon use.]

A decent item.

But why didn’t the Earth Demon use it for itself?

Could it be that because its demonic attributes conflicted with the pill, consuming it would cause its Pure Yang Power to overrun and destroy it?

That was likely the case.

Lin Fan swallowed the pill in one bite, crunching it like candy. Crack! The pill was instantly shattered between his teeth, flooding his mouth with a surge of heat that flowed down his throat and into his abdomen.

Refreshing.

He hadn’t expected the pill to be so potent.

Five years of mana, just like that. His mana now totaled 160 years.

Those descriptions he’d read before weren’t wrong.

The four pillars of cultivation: Dharma, Wealth, Companionship, and Land.

The first of these is Dharma—the cultivation techniques, secret skills, and pills that enable ascension.

To amass 160 years of mana without external help would take an unknown amount of time. But with pills and top-tier cultivation techniques, it could be achieved in no time at all.

As for wealth, it didn’t merely mean money—it included innate resources like Spirit Roots. As one’s foundation, it held the second highest importance.

In conclusion:

If you don’t have resources, why bother cultivating? Might as well go home and plant sweet potatoes.

Lin Fan glanced around. Nothing but silence. No signs of movement. He left the area discreetly. For now, he had no plans to return—the mana he’d gathered still wasn’t enough. He had to keep hunting for Earth Demons.

This round of loot made him feel as if his life had regained clarity and hope.

Soon.

Once Lin Fan left, the area fell into absolute silence. Only the four Earth Demon corpses lay there, their blood yet to congeal, serving as proof of a savage and brutal massacre that had just taken place.

Inside a cave.

Lin Fan searched the area but found no sign of any Earth Demons. Instead, he noticed a minor issue with his cultivation realm.

He had directly ascended to the Longevity First Level Foundation Establishment Realm without passing through the Five Mortal Transformations. It felt slightly off, as if there were some faint impact on his overall state.

Now that he possessed a complete Spirit Root—albeit only of First Grade—it was enough to begin cultivating as an immortal. This was a strong start.

Sitting cross-legged, he began cycling his mana according to the mantras from the *Mystical Secrets of Azure Profundity*.

"This little assistant is such trash—it expects me to cultivate through the Five Mortal Transformations on my own? Why not just settle everything in one go?"

Lin Fan sighed helplessly. But what else could he do? He could only grind it out on his own, one step at a time.
