After returning to Yantai, they soon alerted the government, the Magic a.s.sociation, and the military about the Giant Purple Sacred Linden. What happened next was no longer Mo Fan and the others’ concern.

So many people had died, including a retired half-Forbidden Mage. It was clearly a serious blow to Yantai.

However, Outer Mount Kunyu was able to regain its peace after the Giant Purple Sacred Linden fled. Otherwise, the whole city might suddenly end up as food to the devil, far worse than what had happened!

Lingling found some clues about the Totem Beast they were looking for among Yan s.h.i.+’s possessions. However, they mostly consisted of ancient words and glyphs. Lingling would have to ask experts in the relevant field to learn the meaning behind them.

Since the Moon Moth Phoenix had gone into a new life cycle, they were unable to learn more clues about the ident.i.ty of the Totem Beast from the Seal they had deduced. The clues that Lingling deduced from Yan s.h.i.+’s belongings were leading them to Gansu instead of Yan s.h.i.+, the same place mentioned in Jiang Shaojun’s journal… the same place where Jiang Shaojun went missing. They could not help but wonder what exactly had happened to him while he was searching for the Totem Beast!

There was another Totem Beast in Yantai whose ident.i.ty remained a mystery. They could not tell if it was the owner of the mysterious feather or a different creature. Either way, they learned from Yan s.h.i.+’s belongings that the Totem Beast once lived at the top of the Giant Purple Sacred Linden, and it seemed to be stronger than both the Moon Moth Phoenix and the demon tree!

“Why does it feel like nothing good ever happens when I’m with you? It’s like we just keep stirring up hornets’ nests!” Zhao Manyan grumbled as they waited in the hall of Penglai International Airport.

“Do you think I’m a fan of that? Well, at least we know the Giant Purple Sacred Linden and the Moon Moth Phoenix are somehow related to the Totem Beast we were looking for. We just have to wait until Lingling finds some new clues,” Mo Fan replied.

“I thought you said we were going to make a fortune?” Zhao Manyan said.

“Aren’t these enough?” Mo Fan swiped his hand to reveal the storage s.p.a.ce of his s.p.a.ce Element.

One of the benefits of having the s.p.a.ce Element was that Mo Fan did not need to carry a backpack around. He could create a storage s.p.a.ce for himself, and the higher his cultivation, the higher the capacity of the storage. Mo Fan’s storage s.p.a.ce was the size of a small truck. It was like a super mobile suitcase!

“Demon crests? Holy cow, where did you get all these demon crests?” Zhao Manyan stared at the s.p.a.ce filled with a special kind of leaf in disbelief.

“I conveniently picked them up!” Mo Fan replied smugly.

Another benefit of having the s.p.a.ce Element was how he could retrieve things with ease. He was able to split his will into dozens of hands to retrieve any loot as he wished!

“My Heavens, how bold were you, having the guts to retrieve them under such dire circ.u.mstances?!” Zhao Manyan was utterly impressed by Mo Fan’s courage. He was overwhelmed with fear merely hearing about the Giant Purple Sacred Linden.

“Humans die in pursuit of wealth, just like birds die in pursuit of food.” Mo Fan grieved for the people that died, but it did not stop him from taking the loot. Besides, Yan s.h.i.+’s destructive spells were going to destroy them all if he had not taken them.

“What a pity. If only more people listened to us and left when they had the chance. It wouldn’t have ended like that….”

——

After returning to the Magic City, Mo Fan sold the demon crests to another company.

The j.a.panese corporation was also responsible for what had happened, as they were the ones that convinced the Hunters to search for the demon crests. Little did they know, the seemingly-harmless Giant Purple Lindens were nothing but traps. Those that were lucky were able to leave with some demon crests and make a fortune, while the others were buried under the trees and turned into nutrients for the Giant Purple Lindens.

Even though the price offered by the other companies were slightly lower, Mo Fan felt more comfortable selling the demon crests to them.

“These are the two Soul-grade Fire Seeds I’ve chosen for Little Flame Belle. Neither had a Domain, and their price is reasonable too,” Lingling said.

“We’ll give the rest of the money to Yantai,” Mo Fan said.

It was quite a huge sum, but it was ill-gotten wealth, too. Mo Fan was not greedy enough to claim the rest of the money after he had bought the Soul-grade Seeds he needed. He handed the money to Mr. Gao in Yantai. The man would distribute the money to the families whose loved ones had died in the incident…

Mo Fan was no philanthropist. He had taken the risk of being turned into a beehive by the Giant Purple Sacred Linden to acquire the demon crests. It was already generous that he was willing to donate the rest of the money.

——

The days without Little Flame Belle were starting to make Mo Fan a little sulky, especially when he was up against those son of b****es Hillmen.

Mo Fan stood no chance against the Giant Purple Sacred Linden, yet he did not have a chance to beat the c.r.a.p out of the Hillmen after they kept stepping on his toes. The grudge in his heart was still bothering him.

Mo Fan’s Lightning Element was powerful, yet he was unable to use it as freely as the Fire Element. He would always let Little Flame Belle Possess him whenever he was fighting against a huge number of demon creatures, so he could turn into a fire-using battlemage. It was a lot more effective than using the inflexible Lightning Element.

“Little Flame Belle, your supplements are here. I’ve even kept the Soul Essence of the Dreadful Curse Cerberus for you as a guarantee, to make sure that you can reach the Adolescent Phase with ease!” Mo Fan woke Little Flame Belle up. The little creature had been asleep for a long time.

Two Soul-grade Fire Seeds and a high-quality Soul Essence of a Commander-level creature. It was overkill to use them all at once. Normal Summoners would not be willing to waste these resources just to help their Contracted Beast reach the Adolescent Phase.

“Ling~” Little Flame Belle was having difficulty controlling her temperature. She was like a little child with a high fever. She seemed a little down-spirited. She was hoping that she could evolve as soon as possible, so she could become stronger!

“Without surprise, Little Flame Belle will be as strong as her mother once she reaches the Adolescent Phase,” Lingling said.

Lingling was clearly referring to the Fiery Sorceress, Jiang Feng. He still remembered how she had followed them all the way from the North Burning Valley to the outskirts of the Magic City, and forced her way through the entrance of a renowned clan. She almost turned the entire Lehuo Town into an ocean of flames!

Her domineering control over the Fire Magic was not something an Advanced Mage could possibly obtain!

Mo Fan was very excited when he heard Little Flame Belle was soon going to be as strong as Jiang Feng. Wouldn’t that make him unbeatable against Advanced Mages whenever Little Flame Belle was Possessing him?

“Don’t count your chickens before they hatch; Little Flame Belle is still very young. She has reached the Adolescent Phase earlier than she’s supposed to. It’s like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, so you have to be extremely cautious when she’s evolving!” Lingling reminded him.

“Don’t worry, I’ll try my best!”

The connection between the Summoner and the Contracted Beast played an important role, since their souls were bound together. The will of a Summoner would become the will of his Contract Beast. Besides, Little Flame Belle was also sharing the same heart with Xinxia!. There was no way Mo Fan would be careless about the process!

Failing the process might harm Little Flame Belle, and would most likely harm Xinxia too…

“By the way, I learned from an old book that Contract Summoning is able to form a second contract, which means you can have a second Contracted Beast!” Lingling told him abruptly.
