Chapter 92 The Temptation of the Zhang Family? No, it's trouble delivered to our doorstep!
The journey home is far more particular than the journey there.
Lin Fan had some reservations about the previous crude "rock vehicle".
This time, he didn't give a perfunctory answer.
He lightly stomped his foot on the ground.
The entire Amazon rainforest trembled.
The next second, an enormous piece of ancient warm jade, with unbelievably high purity, broke through the soil and slowly rose into the air. The jade was warm and smooth, radiating a soft halo.
He looked up at the sky again and waved casually.
The clouds on the horizon seemed to receive an imperial edict, churning and converging like rivers flowing into the sea.
Lin Fan pointed his fingers like knives, using the wind as a blade, and casually sculpted the clouds and warm jade.
In an instant, a ship with a hull made entirely of pure white clouds, an interior floor made of a single piece of warm jade, and a celestial "flying boat" surrounded by lingering clouds appeared out of thin air.
This cloud boat is not only incredibly fast and silent during flight, but its interior space is also astonishingly large.
Lin Fan even used the leftover scraps to casually sculpt a stone table and benches, complete with everything he needed.
"Come on up, everyone."
"This time it's luxury business class."
Lin Fan was the first to step onto the cloud boat, sat down in the most comfortable corner, and even took out a set of exquisite purple clay teaware from his personal space to prepare to brew tea.
Everyone stared at this miraculous creation, their breath caught in their throats.
With an almost pilgrimage-like feeling, they tiptoed and carefully boarded the cloud boat, afraid that their mortal bodies would defile this fairyland.
The cloud boat soared into the sky, transforming into a white rainbow that silently tore through the heavens and sped eastward.
The atmosphere atop the airship was subtle.
Li Zhenguo hid in a corner of the ship's railing, clutching a strangely shaped black satellite phone, and reported to the highest command center in the country in a low voice.
"What?! Old Li, say that again?!"
On the other end of the phone, a dignified voice suddenly rose in pitch, filled with disbelief and horror.
"You're saying... Mr. Lin... ate an ancient god?!"
"Reporting to the commander! It's absolutely true!"
Li Zhenguo's voice trembled with extreme excitement.
"That ancient god was killed on the spot by Mr. Lin, and its divine power...was completely absorbed!"
A clear, sharp gasp came from the other end of the phone.
Dead silence.
A full half minute of deathly silence.
That majestic voice rang out again, its tone carrying a sense of awe and solemnity born from a worldview that had been utterly overturned.
"I understand. Old Li, remember that."
"From this moment forward, at all costs, we will fulfill all of Mr. Lin's reasonable and unreasonable demands!"
"His existence transcends any realm we know."
"He is not the pillar of stability for China..."
"He... is the 'sky' of our planet!"
"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"
Li Zhenguo hung up the phone, let out a long sigh, and when he looked at Lin Fan again, all that remained in his eyes was pure awe.
On the other side, Fang Qingxue sat cross-legged on the warm jade floor, closing her eyes and concentrating.
The experience in Amazon had a profound impact on her martial arts spirit, and she needed time to reflect and process the transformation brought about by Lin Fan.
The Gold Saints and Ares sat in a circle, excitedly sharing their experiences after fusing the fragments of divine power.
"My 'Scarlet Needle' can now feel like it's piercing right into a person's soul!" Scorpio Milo excitedly gestured.
"My 'Giant Horn' can now draw upon the power of the earth! Its power is more than ten times stronger than before!" Taurus Aldebaran's face glowed with pride.
Ares, standing to the side, adopted the air of a senior expert and spoke in a deep voice:
"This is just the beginning."
"You must carefully experience the power bestowed by the Master, and even more importantly, carefully comprehend the Master's 'Tao'."
"Remember, physical strength is only the surface; cultivating one's state of mind is the foundation."
He pointed to his head.
"Take cleaning outhouses, for example. Do you really think it's just manual labor?"
"No! It's a cleansing of divinity, a tempering of the soul! Each cleansing is a sublimation of the soul!"
These words caused the Gold Saints to nod repeatedly, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at Ares.
Senior Ares has truly understood!
Only Loki, in the corner, clutched his bare, brittle stick that looked like it had been dug out of a stove, his face filled with utter despair.
He listened to the boasting of the group of muscular men, then looked at the empty groove at the top of his scepter.
Heart is bleeding.
My Infinity Stones...
My overtime pay...
My god-like perks...
Why do they all have it, but I don't?
Is it just because I'm a trainee?!
Loki's eyes darted wildly between resentment, jealousy, and extreme fear of Lin Fan, his facial expressions completely out of control.
In this wondrous atmosphere, the cloud boat crossed the ocean.
As the familiar outline of the capital city appeared on the horizon, Lin Fan's usually calm heart stirred slightly.
There's no place like home.
Playing the role of a hermit outside is never as comfortable as drinking tea and walking birds in your own backyard.
"I'm finally back."
Lin Fan stretched, and the cloud boat slowly descended, eventually hovering silently above the dilapidated courtyard house.
He was the first to jump down, his feet landing firmly on the ground in the center of the yard.
A familiar scent, a blend of earthy, floral, and the everyday aromas of the old town, wafted towards me.
"It's still so comfortable at home," he exclaimed sincerely.
The others also disembarked from the cloud boat one after another.
The group of top mercenaries who had just signed "indentures" looked at the ordinary, even somewhat dilapidated courtyard in front of them and exchanged bewildered glances.
Is this where they will work for the rest of their lives?
It doesn't seem so scary after all?
However, the moment their feet touched the ground of the yard.
A surge of pure spiritual energy, so intense it made their very souls tremble, rushed wildly from the soles of their feet into their limbs and bones!
"Where...where am I?!"
The mercenary leader exclaimed in surprise, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
He felt that just one breath here was more nourishing than swallowing a whole century-old ginseng root outside!
"You're making a fuss over nothing."
Ares walked by and glanced at them with the look one would give a country bumpkin.
"This is the master's sacred ground, a divine kingdom in the eyes of mortals. Being able to work here is a blessing you've accumulated over eight lifetimes."
After saying that, he walked familiarly to the storage room in the corner of the yard, ready to begin his "cultivation".
Lin Fan has already begun assigning tasks.
"You guys are new here."
He pointed to the group of mercenaries.
"See the weeds in the yard? Everyone take a hoe. Before dark, I want to see not a single weed left in the yard."
"Yes, boss!"
The mercenaries responded enthusiastically, scrambling to grab the tools with boundless energy.
Are you kidding me!
Working in such a paradise, I'd do it even if I had to pay out of my own pocket!
Ares.
"Yes, sir!"
"The outhouse in the backyard wasn't cleaned properly before I left. Go and reinforce your cultivation progress there."
"Yes, sir! I guarantee it will be so shiny it'll reflect light like a mirror, and even a fly would have to do the splits if it landed on it!"
Ares accepted the task and, with great excitement, carried his brush and bucket to his "dojo".
Loki.
"……exist."
Loki responded weakly.
"There were too many fallen leaves at the entrance, which affected the appearance of the city. I swept them up."
Loki's face instantly fell, but when he met Lin Fan's indifferent gaze, he resignedly picked up a large broom.
After arranging all of this, Lin Fan finally felt a sense of peace.
He brought out his beloved recliner and placed it under the old locust tree in the yard, preparing to brew a pot of fresh leaves picked from the tree of life to enjoy.
Just then.
His cell phone suddenly started buzzing in his pocket.
Lin Fan frowned slightly, took out his phone, and saw that the caller ID showed "Li Zhenguo".
This guy called me right after we parted ways, is he ever going to stop?
He answered the call impatiently.
"Hey, what's up now?"
On the other end of the phone, Li Zhenguo's voice immediately came through, sounding extremely urgent and even a little panicked.
"Mr. Lin! Something terrible has happened!"
"In the few days since you left, several unidentified foreign supernatural forces have quietly infiltrated the capital!"
"Their targets... all seem to be pointing to the area where you are!"
