Chapter 1430 - 1429: Advancing to Pill Force

Lin Fan immediately extended his hands, adjusting the Powerful Qi within him. Suddenly, his arms twitched, and the next second, a speckled light of pale gold emanated from his palms!

Soon, the Powerful Qi surged out, flowing in Lin Fan's palms like a blazing flame!

"Such pure Qi, without a trace of impurities. I recall only Master Xian reached this level back then!" Eagle King exclaimed in shock!

After all, people eat grains every day, and even the air they breathe is actually polluted, just a matter of the degree of pollution being severe or not!

Thus, these polluting impurities would accumulate within Lin Fan's body, and over time, they would merge into his recent cultivation.

These impurities are quite dangerous for a Qi Cultivation Master. If the impurities increase, they would cause the Martial Artist to halt progress after reaching a certain level!

As for Lin Fan's Powerful Qi, no impurities exist; it's extremely pure!

Lin Kongxian smiled and said, "This kid was soaked in medicinal concoctions daily when he was young, absorbing a great deal of special medicinal essence. So now, the medicinal power merges into his Powerful Qi, which immediately purifies any impurities upon emergence!"

"I see, Master Xian, give me this treasure of yours, so I can use it for my future disciples!" White Eyebrow Daoist said jovially!

This time, Lin Kongxian did not refuse; rather, he said, "In gratitude for your help, I'll write down the recipe and give it to you all afterwards!"

Upon hearing this, everyone showed excited expressions on their faces!

This thing is a treasure indeed, a priceless gem!

"Thank you, Master Xian!"

The group immediately cupped their fists in gratitude!

Lin Kongxian waved his hand dismissively, not fond of such formalities!

"Old man, what level is my strength now?" Lin Fan asked curiously!

"Pill Force mid-stage!" Lin Kongxian replied!

Lin Fan was overjoyed upon hearing this; he hadn't expected to leap two levels at once!

Wondering if his current strength could rival Clint?

Then Lin Kongxian took a closer look at Lin Fan, and finding no abnormalities, instructed Wukong, "Little Wukong, go make some food. Eagle King, bring out the marinated beef you bought yesterday; we'll eat in the firewood room!"

"Alright!" Eagle King and Wukong nodded and proceeded!

Afterwards, the group entered the firewood room, with Lin Fan following closely behind!

However, this is the Shaolin Temple, where monks are vegetarian. Drinking and eating meat here indeed does not look good, so they ate with the door closed!

Only Abbot Kongxu would definitely not join Lin Kongxian and the others in revelry!

He was meditating with Wukong on the brick bed, while on the wooden table opposite was plain porridge and a vegetarian cold dish, along with a tofu stew!

Wukong looked at these oil-free dishes and recalled the recent secret meat-eating times with Lin Kongxian, immediately finding this simple fare exceedingly bland and hard to swallow!

Abbot Kongxu understood what the young one's demeanor was about and sighed inwardly!

After all, Wukong was at the age of physical growth, and the lack of meat in his diet indeed wasn't beneficial!

"Go and ask Lin Fan to come see me!" Abbot Kongxu suddenly said to Wukong!

"Yes, Master!"

Wukong nodded, quickly jumped off the brick bed, and hurried towards the firewood room!

Meanwhile, Eagle King and the others were cheerfully drinking, with Lin Fan joining in, while Lin Kongxian silently ate amid the raucous atmosphere.

Once inside the firewood room, Wukong went over to Lin Fan's side!

"Fan, my Master wishes to see you!" Wukong said!

"Alright!"

Lin Fan nodded and swiftly handed a piece of marinated beef to Wukong!

Upon seeing this, Wukong's youthful face immediately showed excitement. He quickly took the beef and stuffed it into his mouth, puffing his cheeks like a frog!

In fact, Abbot Kongxu could well have waited until Lin Fan and the others had finished eating but deliberately called Wukong now to satisfy his cravings!

As for the rule about monks not drinking or eating meat, it wasn't strictly enforced in the real Shaolin Temple. It was mostly a performance for public display by a few monks, while secretly they would often eat meat!

Of course, vegetarianism still dominates, and such situations are rare exceptions!

Like now, Kong Jing was carrying a wine bottle, and drinking beer with Eagle King, quite unlike a monk, more like a fake one!

After all, meat and wine pass through the intestines, but the Buddha stays in the heart!

Wukong wiped the oil from his mouth and grinned!

Then Lin Fan got up and followed Wukong into the main room!

At this point, Abbot Kongxu had already eaten his fill, sitting cross-legged on the brick bed, with one hand forming a peculiar gesture on his knee, while the other held a string of Buddhist Beads, which he constantly rotated!

Hearing footsteps, Abbot Kongxu paused his actions and said, "You've come!"

"I wonder what you need from me, Abbot Kongxu?" Lin Fan asked, cupping his fists and speaking graciously to Abbot Kongxu!

"Actually, it's nothing major. I've noticed Wukong's mind is becoming increasingly unsettled!" Abbot Kongxu said!

Wukong, worried that Abbot Kongxu had discovered his secret meat-eating, quickly knelt before him, pleading, "Master, please forgive me!"

"Stand up!"

Abbot Kongxu didn't blame Wukong but spoke to Lin Fan, "Shaolin Temple is ultimately too small; the outside world offers more extensive and diverse experiences. When an eagle's offspring grows slightly, the parent lifts them skyward, eventually releasing them to learn to fly from desperation!"

"I am not an eagle but do not wish to confine Wukong forever here, as this place is too small, which won't benefit Wukong's future growth. Thus, I hope you can take Wukong outside!"

Abbot Kongxu spoke earnestly!

Lin Fan was surprised upon hearing this and instinctively looked at Wukong beside him!

Seeing Lin Fan's look, Wukong smiled at him!

Lin Fan helplessly rolled his eyes; taking Wukong out seemed to be adding a burden!

"I mean... Abbot, I feel that Wukong is still young, isn't it too early to go outside now?" Lin Fan asked awkwardly, rubbing his nose!
