Lin Fan opened his eyes. He looked around his surroundings carefully, He was in a dark room lying in a very uncomfortable bed. Then he looked at his hands and clothes. He immediately searched for a mirror until he found one, he frowned for few seconds looking at his reflection, then closed his eyes as if to assimilate memories.
"Looks like a wisp of my soul managed to escape and reincarnate here in this small kingdom. According to this body's memories the highest realm cultivator in this kingdom is the Prime minister just at Peak Golden Core stage."
His handsome face showed a mocking expression when he thought of this small and weak country. But then he frowned again.
" How did I reincarnate, When my soul was nearly destroyed and should not have enough soul power left to enter the cycle of reincarnation to reincarnate. No, this is not reincarnation. To reincarnate mean to be reborn in a new body, bit right now , It's more like I am possessing this body! "
At this point, we already know, He is not Lin Fan the trash, but a different soul which has taken over Lin Fan's body. He was Lin Fanzhi, The Sect Leader of Heaven's Blessing Sect, a top Mid tier faction of the Yellow profound Continent. He was a Peak Great Vehicle stage Cultivator who have the miraculous ability to reincarnate indefinitely unless their soul was destroyed. Meaning even if right now, someone where to kill Lin Fan, Lin Fanzhi's soul could reincarnate into a new born baby!
"But how is this possible, How could I escape and possess this body when Murong Guliang used Blue Lotus Burning Flame, which specializes in destroying souls!?"
While thinking about different solutions to this dilemma, he found a black book in his soulspace. He was surprised and quickly looked over. It was fairly thin book with a black cover and in the cover there was written something.
"Forbidden Devil Transformation Technique?!"
He was surprised once again. This was a technique he had cultivated when he was just a elder in Heaven's Blessings sect. He had found this technique in some ancient ruins. Believing it to be some sort of ancient heaven defying technique, he brought it with and quickly cultivated. At that time, there was only a single page filled with words while the rest were blank. He cultivated according to the book's instruction for a long time and finally noticed an increase in his soul power. But he was greatly disappointed as there were many other techniques which increased more soul power in much less time. So he put it away in his soul space and had forgotten about.
"Looks like my soul's recovery and possession of this body is due to this book. Looks like I've greatly underestimated its capabilities."
He opened the book and noticed the blank pages wer filled with words which he couldn't quite decipher. He looked at the first page and noticed the title was body refinement and not the way to increase soul power.
"Looks like some requirement have to be met to unlock the book's full capabilities."
He read the first chapter thoroughly and felt it was extremely profound and no other scripture or technique, he had seen could compare to it. He tried practicing with it and felt that his dantian was starting to repair himself. "This!!" his excitement grew, and thought to himself 'Prepare yourself, Murong Guliang your death will be coming soon.'
He cultivated it all night until morning when his daotian was finally fully recovered. He also noticed that his dantian had become much bigger than average. His qi sensetivity and qi absorption had also improved by leaps and bounds making him a genius among geniuses. Such geniuses were rare to even find in those hight tier factions much less here in such a small kingdom.
*********************
Lin Fan got up. He washed his face and dressed up. He walked outside the gate and started to walk around the Lin estate. He noticed the looks of contempt that was sent his way by servants and maids.
'Looks Like you had a harsher life, then I first thought, When even servants throw looks of contempt at you. But, don't worry I'll take the revenge for you when I've become stronger and destroy whoever, bullied you!'
"Long time no see, trash!"
Just as he was walking around ignoring the looks of contempt and disdain. He heard an arrogant voice. He turned to the direction of voice and soon frowned.
'What is this guy doing here!!?'
The arrogant voice belonged to Han Li, The third young master of Han family.The guy was with some of his lackeys. What he was doing inside Lin family estate, he had a suspicion.
"You! How dare you look at me like that?!" Han Li asked to the 'trash' presumably furious. He ordered his lackeys to beat him up.
All the lackeys were either in 3rd or 4th stage of Qi Condensation. With no cultivation right now, he could not hope to defeat them, So he could only take the beating silently endure for now!. All the Lin family servants around them were cheering and were praising Han Li for cleaning up 'trash'.
In his heart Lin Fan vowed " Just you wait!! Han Li, You will be the first one to be killed when I cultivate and I will make you my stepping stone on my path to greatness!!"
After beating him up, Han Li and his lackeys taunted him some more and left the Lin estate.
He was bloodied and bruised lying on the stone path. No servant was looking at him much less helping after the beating. He stood up difficultly with great pain and with fire of determination in his eyes walked towards his shabby hut.
When he reached his hut, he found there was some food and medicine. He immediately knew it was from the little maid. In this mansion only the maid Qin'er treated him nicely. But even she didn't dare to help him openly on fear of punishment. Anyway Lin Fan was still very grateful for her and thought, he would definitely pay her in the future when he got stronger.
He ate the food and applied the medicine which immediately healed.
He sat cross-legged in the bed and started cultivating the body refinement technique of the book. He broke through to the 8th stage of Body tempering. This speed was really heaven defying. He broke theough 8 small realns in mere 5 hrs. He noticed all the impurities around him, so he went to bathe. He also looked at his reflection in his mirror. He had become noticabely paler and hir hair and eyes had become darker. No one came to visit him until after noon.
"Young master! I have come to deliver some lunch to you!"
He opened his eyes and saw a young girl who looked like she was in 12 or 13 in a maid outfit. She too had black hair and dark brown eyes like everyone else, but she had a special aura around her which others didn't have, even though she was just a lowly maid. He thought in his heart, That she would definitely be a beauty in the future.
"I've already told you, Qin'er .You don't need to bring me food secretly. I can always eat the fruits from the trees."
" Sigh* Young master, Won't you get bored eating fruits everyday. Please enjoy the different food I prepare for you. Wiat! How come you are so pale, are you allright? are you ill? Let's go visit a doctor."
Qin'er asked in a worried tone.
"Qin'er, it's nothing. It's just me not getting out in the son more often and Thank you very much Qin'er for everything! I will definitely repay you someday."
"Don't worry about it young master, you don't need to repay me, just go otside more often, yoy also need to eat more healthy. And anyway, I should be the one thanking you when you brought me inside the manor and gave me work when I was homeless all those years ago"
."Hmm maybe"
Just like this they kept talking until Qin'er left and He again started cultivating and broke through to the the 1st stage of Qi Condensation. When dinner came, Qin'er came to deliver dinner.
Again he started cultivating after some talk with Qin'er. He cultivated all night.
The next day.
He stood up from his cultivation, and looked very excited. That's so because he had already broke through to the the 6th stage of Qi condensation. Instead of tiredness, he felt refreshed so he did not need to shower.
"Indeed, higher the realm, slower the cultivation speed"
After washing his face, He walked outside the hut. Unlike yesterday when he could be easily bullied, Now he would not be bullied so easily because he was strong.
"Now I will show that bastard Han Li, who's the real boss. I should start practicing martial techniques, even though my cultivation has improved, I still need some techniques to improve my combat ability. Nevertheless even without Any martial techniques, I'm confident I can kill Han Li and his lackeys. "
While walking around the estate, in hopes of encountering Han Li again. He heard some footsteps. He could hear now much better because of his now improved cultivation. He saw the patriarch of Zhao family with some elders going inside the mansion. They did not even see Lin Fan standing right there watching them. Lin Fan ignored them and continued walking until He returned in his hut and started cultivating again. He had a suspicion why the Zhao family patriarch was here for, but he did not really care
The rest of the day passed the same as yesterday cultivating and talking with Qin'er. He also broke through to 9th tier of Qi Condensation.
At evening He went outside the estate, the guards saw him, but they didn't seem to care much about him and ignored. To them whether he lived or died had nothing to do with them and even if he died, they would not be punished, after all the main reason for not killing Lin Fan all these years was the engagement with Zhao Young miss, but now that it was broken, he had no more use, so naturally no on would care..
Lin Fan did not pay any attention go the guard and started walking to a hill nearby for practicing techniques, but he noticed several figures following him. He quickly noticed they were Han Li's lackeys. He snorted.
You guys think, You can hide from me ,Lin Fanzhi.
His eyes immediately became cold and though of an idea. He led them to a secluded alley where no people were in sight.
"You all can come out now!"
He was only met with silence as no one came.
"I know there are 13 of you here all in 3rd stage of Qi condensation except 2 in 4th stage and I even.
know where all of you are hiding. Tell me Why did Han Li ask you to follow me?"
Hearing this, the lackey's started coming out from their hiding places.
"So what if you can see our hiding places, You are still just a trash. As for monitoring you, We dont know " taunted one of the lackeys.
Lin Fan coldly smiled. In the next moment, he was already in front of the lackey who taunted. No one could see his speed and this immediately made them fearful of him.
One of the lackeys said," How can this trash move so fast? No it must be his luck, that he accidently became that fast"
"Yes! Yes! No way a trash can move so fast"
" Brothers! even though Young master said not to beat him up, it wouldn't really matter if it its only a few punches, right!!?"
"Yes its only few punches and kicks, So its fine"
Lin Fan who was hearing this was stunned.
He was thinking,Are these guys serious?? I just moved so fast and you think its luck. He could only shake his head at their incompetence.
He immediately punched the lackey in front of him in the face which made him shoot like a catapult. This blow should have killed him.
He did not wait for the reaction of other lackeys, Immediately he killed another 3 lackeys.
The lackeys were shocked.
They were now scared.
"Lin Fan, Don't you dare kill us. We are the servants of Han family. If you kill us you will be in trouble with the Han family"
" Yes! Yes ! Lin Fan ,Do you really want to make enemy of the Han family. If you kowtow before us then then we can consider forgiving you"
Lin Fan was again surprised by their stupidity. He had already killed 4 Han Family servants and what makes them think, he won't kill them. But this time he did not think much and directly killed the 2 lackeys by appearing on front of them and punching them and they too were thrown away by the force behind the punch.
This time the remaining lackeys did not dare speak and were pleading with him for mercy.
Just about when he was about to kill them, Be heard a voice
"WAIT!!"
.He saw Han Li coming towards him with another lackey. Lin Fan immediately smiled.
