Chapter 256: Chapter 255: Swallowing the Holy Dragon Fruit

Besides, who knows if these people, upon learning that I possess the Holy Dragon Fruit, might covet it? Should they strike at me in secret, I could be in trouble!

A bit of caution goes a long way!

Thus, Lin Fan has decided that even if he wants to help these people recover, it will have to wait until after they’ve left the underground palace.

Lin Fan put away the Control Flag, and with a mere thought, his Soul Domain manifested, enveloping the unconscious Liu Rumei completely before he began infusing soul power into her Soul Ocean.

The reason Liu Rumei was unconscious was due to her soul power being damaged. As long as she was given some soul power, she would soon awake.

As expected, it wasn’t long before Liu Rumei came to her senses.

"Where am I?" she asked, perplexed.

The next moment, seeing Lin Fan, she couldn’t help but express surprise, "Lin Fan, what are you doing here?"

Lin Fan asked, "Aunt Rumei, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

After checking her condition, Liu Rumei shook her head, "I just feel a bit weak, that’s all."

Lin Fan nodded, then tore off a large portion of the Holy Dragon Fruit and handed it to Liu Rumei, "Aunt Rumei, refine it!"

Liu Rumei was astonished, "Holy Dragon Fruit?"

Lin Fan nodded, "Yes."

Liu Rumei responded, "I can’t use it, Lin Fan, you should hurry and refine the Holy Dragon Fruit. Once you have refined it, your cultivation will surely reach the peak of the Earth Profound Realm, and your strength will be even more formidable, you—"

Lin Fan interrupted Liu Rumei, "Aunt Rumei, I still have half of the Holy Dragon Fruit left. That’s enough. Besides, with my current physical condition, if I were to truly refine the entire Holy Dragon Fruit, my body would simply burst!"

Hearing Lin Fan’s words, Liu Rumei recalled that at present, Lin Fan’s cultivation was too weak and his physical body too frail; under normal circumstances, he could at most refine one-fifth of the Holy Dragon Fruit.

After pondering for a bit, Liu Rumei nodded, "Alright, I’ll refine this half of the Holy Dragon Fruit."

Liu Rumei took the Holy Dragon Fruit and began refining it immediately...

The speed of refining the Holy Dragon Fruit was extremely fast. In merely the time it took an incense stick to burn, Liu Rumei had already completely refined it. Lin Fan could sense that at this point, Liu Rumei had become much stronger.

It was certain that just moments ago, Liu Rumei had achieved a breakthrough!

Jade Rakshasa and Zhao Lin both looked enviously at Liu Rumei.

One must know that after reaching the Saint Ascension level, overcoming the next Realm is exceedingly difficult, yet Liu Rumei had broken through so effortlessly, so naturally they were extremely envious.

"Thank you, Lin Fan!" Liu Rumei said earnestly.

Originally, Liu Rumei had brought Lin Fan into the underground palace to seek opportunities for him, but she hadn’t anticipated that, in the end, it would be her who received the greatest fortune.

Lin Fan said, "It’s alright, Aunt Rumei, you continue to protect me while I refine the remaining Holy Dragon Fruit."

After saying this, Lin Fan immediately took out all the remaining Holy Dragon Fruit, preparing to refine it.

Liu Rumei was startled by Lin Fan’s action and quickly cautioned him, "Lin Fan, don’t be rash!"

Lin Fan looked at Liu Rumei somewhat puzzled, "What’s the matter, Aunt Rumei?"

Liu Rumei replied, "Lin Fan, your current physical energy is far too weak. If you refine so much of the Holy Dragon Fruit, your body won’t withstand it and will burst, so you must take it slow, don’t rush into refining..."

Lin Fan chuckled!

He now understood, so Aunt Rumei was worried about this?

Then, Lin Fan assured her, "Don’t worry, Aunt Rumei, my body can handle it!"

It’s worth noting that Lin Fan’s body is an Ancient Soul Body!

Just in terms of physical robustness, Lin Fan’s body strength is undoubtedly no less than a Saint Ascension level powerhouse, which is why Lin Fan was so confident.

However, Liu Rumei didn’t know Lin Fan’s condition and once again tried to stop him, "Lin Fan, listen to me, don’t be impulsive!"

At this point, both Jade Rakshasa and Zhao Lin also hurried over to persuade Lin Fan not to be rash.

Of course, their advising Lin Fan wasn’t out of kindness—truth be told, they wouldn’t mind if Lin Fan died. However, they knew that if Lin Fan died, they would also perish with him, given that Lin Fan had set up an Array within their Soul Oceans using his will. If Lin Fan’s will dissipated, they too would die.

Lin Fan simply said, "Enough, no need to persuade me anymore. In any case, I’m clear about my own situation and definitely won’t have any problems!"

Then, without waiting for Liu Rumei and the others to speak, Lin Fan promptly began to refine the Holy Dragon Fruit.

Under these circumstances, Liu Rumei couldn’t stop him even if she wanted to.

"Damn kid," Liu Rumei thought to herself, "let’s just hope he really will be okay!"

At the same time, Liu Rumei was also ready to act at a moment’s notice, prepared to help Lin Fan weather any hardship should anything go amiss.

But Lin Fan was, all along, fine!

From Lin Fan’s body, bursts of powerful aura emerged from time to time, and Liu Rumei knew that at this moment, Lin Fan was frenziedly refining the energy within the Holy Dragon Fruit.

Liu Rumei was very puzzled in her heart: "This kid, his physical body, can it really withstand the energy from the Holy Dragon Fruit? How strange, I really don’t know, what kind of freak is he?"

For a moment, Liu Rumei became even more curious about Lin Fan.

Liu Rumei knew that there must be some special secret about Lin Fan...

Meanwhile, within Lin Fan’s body, under the powerful impact of the Holy Dragon Fruit’s energy, one Soul Eye after another was directly opened...

Previously, Lin Fan had already opened sixty-three Soul Eyes!

A person has a total of one hundred and eight Soul Eyes throughout their body, and Lin Fan needed to open all the remaining Soul Eyes before he could make a breakthrough in his cultivation to reach the Late Period of the Earth Profound Realm...

That is to say, Lin Fan still needed to open forty-five more Soul Eyes!

Under normal circumstances, opening forty-five Soul Eyes would be extremely difficult, and the energy required would be very vast, but the energy from the Holy Dragon Fruit was simply too powerful, advancing irresistibly, and the Soul Eyes were being opened one after another!

The forty-five Soul Eyes were finally completely opened!

This also meant that Lin Fan’s cultivation had reached the Late Period of the Earth Profound Realm...

However, at this time, the energy from the Holy Dragon Fruit had been depleted, and it was impossible for Lin Fan’s cultivation to progress any further!

Lin Fan exited his cultivation state!

Lin Fan clearly felt that this time, his combat power had finally improved. If nothing unexpected happened, his combat strength had thoroughly reached the Late Period of the Heavenly Profound Realm; although still not the pinnacle among the powerhouses of the Heavenly Profound Realm Late Period, at least he was now a force to be reckoned with!

"How is this possible?"

Liu Rumei looked at Lin Fan in surprise and said incredulously, "You’ve refined and absorbed so much energy from the Holy Dragon Fruit, but your cultivation has only improved by a minor realm?"

Zhao Lin and Jade Rakshasa were also completely dumbfounded!

"Hehe!"

However, Lin Fan nonchalantly said, "Being able to improve by a minor realm is already quite good!"

Liu Rumei opened her mouth wanting to say something, but ultimately, Liu Rumei didn’t say anything at all.

At this time, Liu Rumei knew even more that the secrets held by Lin Fan were probably much more mysterious than she had imagined...

"If nothing unexpected happens, this guy will surely be able to grow into an extremely terrifying figure!" Liu Rumei thought to herself.

"By the way, Aunt Rumei, let’s have a proper fight. Don’t hold back; the more miserable you beat me, the better," Lin Fan said.

"Ah?"

Liu Rumei looked at Lin Fan, puzzled, and somewhat unable to understand what he meant.

Then Liu Rumei asked, "You stinky kid, are you a masochist?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Lin Fan coughed twice and then said with a wry smile, "Aunt Rumei, I’m not a masochist, but my cultivation has been increasing way too fast, my foundation is not stable at all, and I must use this method to solidify my cultivation and my foundation!"

"This..."

Liu Rumei was somewhat speechless!

There’s actually such a method of cultivation?

Truly an eye-opener!

Lin Fan was not wrong, his foundation at this time was indeed in a terrible state.

You should know, Lin Fan’s cultivation had only just broken through to the Middle Period of the Earth Profound Realm some time ago, and he hadn’t had time to stabilize his cultivation.

Originally, Lin Fan planned to wait for a while, until his cultivation and foundation were completely stable, then refine the Holy Dragon Fruit.

But...

Lin Fan felt pressure from Old Dragon Subduing and knew very clearly that he must enhance his strength as soon as possible. So, Lin Fan, having no other choice, directly refined the Holy Dragon Fruit and then used a special method to stabilize his cultivation and foundation...

Liu Rumei looked at Lin Fan again and asked seriously, "Lin Fan, are you sure? You’re not kidding just now?"

Lin Fan nodded earnestly and said, "Aunt Rumei, rest assured, I am not kidding, I am serious..."

"But..."

Liu Rumei was still hesitant and said, "I’ve never heard of such a method before!"

You should know, Liu Rumei is a Saint Ascension level powerhouse, naturally very knowledgeable, but she had never heard of this method.

At this time, Zhao Lin and Jade Rakshasa also found it incredible; not only had Liu Rumei never heard of this method, but they also had not heard of it.

Actually, it was normal for them not to have heard of this method, as this was a Secret Technique within the Holy Soul Domain, not to mention on the Nine-state Continent, even within the Holy Soul Domain, very few people knew of it!

Lin Fan said, "Alright Aunt Rumei, don’t hesitate anymore, in any case, I’m absolutely confident, a thorough beating from you will allow me to stabilize my cultivation and my foundation!"
