Chapter 136 Lin Fan, come to the cabin to read the letter
After Lin Fan parted ways with everyone, he had already thought of his next plan in his mind. He knew very well that if he wanted to leave the sect smoothly, sufficient supplies were essential. The 40,000 contribution points he had just obtained made him instantly become a wealthy man in the sect. At this moment, he was full of confidence and could choose whatever he needed from the sect's treasury.
"Jigui City..." Lin Fan murmured softly, and the figure of Zhang Wenyu appeared in his mind.
I remember that during the last trip to the secret realm, Zhang Wenyu mentioned that he had made some progress in Jigui City, but as time goes by, it is unknown whether he is still there.
But it doesn't matter. Lin Fan thought of the wooden house in the Spirit Beast Forest. Perhaps he could find some clues about Zhang Wenyu's whereabouts from it. Moreover, he was worried about not being able to find an opportunity to break through the bottleneck of his cultivation. Maybe this visit would bring unexpected opportunities!
Having made up his mind, Lin Fan acted quickly. He packed up all the necessary items and put them into his bag. After everything was ready, he turned around resolutely and galloped towards the Spirit Beast Forest.
Lin Fan's strength was now far greater than it had been in the past. The trepidation he'd felt facing the Spirit Beast Forest had long since vanished, replaced by confidence and composure. Along the way, his movements were as swift as lightning, his footsteps swift as the wind, raising clouds of dust wherever he passed. It only took a short while for Lin Fan to reach the edge of the Spirit Beast Forest.
The familiar yet unfamiliar dense forest before him seemed to be telling him about the passage of time. However, Lin Fan did not stop at all. After taking a deep breath, he plunged into the depths of the forest.
For some reason, Lin Fan stood in this familiar yet unfamiliar forest of spirit beasts. His footsteps involuntarily moved towards the place that he still remembered vividly and that had made his blood boil - the place where they fought for the evolution stone.
Looking back, he was just a young, weak cultivator in the Qi Condensation Stage. In that fierce battle, there were many cultivators in the Alliance of Cultivators who were as strong as him, and the other three forces even had powerful cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage. In comparison, he was as small and fragile as a drop in the ocean.
However, times have changed. Lin Fan has now been transformed into a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage. If he were to re-participate in the thrilling battle of that year, it would probably be as easy for him to take the Evolution Stone as taking something out of his pocket.
Lin Fan stood quietly there, his mind racing. He couldn't help but recall his youthful and immature self. He had gone through countless hardships and obstacles on the road to becoming an immortal, and it wasn't easy for him to get to where he is today.
"Now, when I think back to my time in the Qi training stage, I feel a lot of emotion. I'm sure that in the future, when I'm even stronger, there will be a certain moment when I will miss myself at this moment. When I think about it carefully, I have grown from that ignorant boy to what I am today. This is inseparable from the help and support given by others, as well as the tempering and growth brought by those fierce life-and-death battles!"
Although Lin Fan was not in a hurry to leave at this moment, he knew very well that there was not much worth lingering here. After pondering for a moment, he turned around resolutely and walked quickly towards the wooden house with firm steps.
Afterwards, Lin Fan walked with firm steps towards the familiar cabin at the edge of the Spirit Beast Forest. Along the way, the breeze gently brushed his face, bringing a hint of coolness. The wild flowers and grasses on the roadside swayed gently, as if waving to him.
Finally, the cabin appeared in his sight. From a distance, it stood there just as it did when he first saw it. It was ordinary, without any luxury or publicity, but it gave people an inexplicable sense of security.
Lin Fan walked quickly to the door and gently pushed open the slightly old wooden door. With a creaky sound, a faint aroma of wood wafted into his face. The furnishings in the room were still simple and tidy, with a wooden table, a few chairs, and a row of bookshelves against the wall.
He walked straight to the table and quickly found the most recent letter among the pile of miscellaneous items. The letterhead was slightly yellowed, clearly some time old. Lin Fan carefully opened it and unfolded it. There were only a few words on it, and the writing style seemed uncharacteristic. However, at a glance, Lin Fan could tell that it was definitely Zhang Wenyu's handwriting and style.
"Lin Fan, long time no see! I wonder if you've read the letters I wrote earlier, but regardless, they won't hinder what I'm about to tell you. The Cultivators' Alliance has grown into a powerful organization, and we now have a certain say in Jigui City. In addition, I have another piece of news to share with you: the Lord of Jigui City will be holding a grand banquet to celebrate his 100th birthday in just two weeks. If you can arrive in Jigui City within two weeks of writing this letter, I would be delighted to invite you to join me for the feast. I look forward to seeing you!"
Seeing this, Lin Fan was startled and hurriedly looked up at the sundial placed beside him. After carefully confirming the current time, he quickly shifted his gaze back to the slightly yellowed letter in his hand. His fingers gently stroked the edge of the letter, his eyes focused on the date at the signature, and his brows gradually furrowed.
It turned out that the letter was written exactly three days before the sect ranking competition. After a quick calculation, it was only about five days since Zhang Wenyu wrote the letter. Judging from the time left, it was enough for Lin Fan to go to Jigui City to attend the banquet.
Just as Lin Fan made up his mind to pack up and leave the wooden house and set off for Jigui City, a snow-white dove flapped its wings and flew from a distance. After circling in the air for a few times, it landed steadily on the window of the wooden house. Lin Fan took a closer look and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled - this white dove looked a little familiar.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Lin Fan's mind like lightning: Isn't this the white pigeon that he and Zhang Wenyu usually use to deliver letters?
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, strode forward, carefully reached out and took the letter tied to the white dove's slender leg. Then, he gently released the white dove back into the sky, turned around and couldn't wait to open the envelope and carefully read the contents inside.
"Although I don't know if you've read my last letter, I still have to tell you this. The banquet I mentioned earlier isn't as simple as it seems. The city lord seems to be planning to reorganize the various forces in Jigui City. So, to prevent you from being affected, I advise you not to come for now. Wait a while before coming. If you insist on coming, please come to me three days before the banquet so we can discuss countermeasures. Of course, if you only see this letter after the banquet, nothing should happen to you in Jigui City if nothing unexpected happens. I wish you all the best, my friend."
