Chapter 180: Earthheart Spirit Dew—Time to Try Saving Someone!
The man leading the group was tall and burly, with a rugged appearance.
Following behind him were two women.
One wore a red dress, her tall and graceful figure outlining seductive curves beneath the moonlight. Her face was strikingly beautiful.
Behind her was a young girl in green robes. She had delicate features and large black eyes that carried a trace of shyness and unease.
Lin Fan's gaze lingered on the girl in green for a moment, a flicker of thought passing through his mind.
"Friends, a beast tide blocked our path. When we saw your campfire, we had no choice but to retreat this way. May we rest here for a bit?"
The burly man scanned Lin Fan's group cautiously before clasping his hands in polite greeting.
"No."
Before Lin Fan or Lin Dong could reply, Xiao Diao lazily lifted his eyes and rejected them flatly.
"You—!"
The woman in red frowned, clearly annoyed, but before she could speak further, the burly man raised a hand to stop her.
After all, it was strange how, even with the beast tide raging across the mountains, this area remained completely untouched. Even the fierce beasts kept away.
Though the man wasn't sure the four before him were the cause, he didn't dare take the risk.
"If you don't wish to be disturbed, we'll leave now."
He gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
But beside him, the girl in green bit her lip. Her large black eyes glanced timidly at the group, and she hesitantly said,
"Big brothers… we won't disturb you. We'll just stay nearby until the beasts pass. If… if you're still unwilling, we can offer some Nirvana Pills as compensation."
"Sure, just fork over… let's say two million Nirvana Pills,"
Xiao Diao grinned, clearly not serious.
The girl's face instantly flushed red. Her eyes welled with mist.
Lin Fan, seeing this, finally confirmed the trio's identity. With a smile, he said,
"My brother's joking. Come over and sit down."
Xiao Diao rolled his eyes but didn't say more.
The three strangers brightened with relief. After a slight hesitation, they stepped toward the campfire and sat down with some restraint.
"I'm Su Kui, and this is my sister, Su Rou,"
the burly man introduced, pointing to the girl in green. Then he motioned to the red-dressed woman beside her.
"This is our companion, Liu Ya."
He paused, then added,
"We're from the Great Qing Dynasty—just a mid-tier kingdom."
Lin Fan smiled. "I'm Lin Fan. These are my brothers—Lin Dong, Lin Diao, and Lin Yan. We're from the low-tier Great Flame Dynasty."
Hearing that, Su Kui and his companions froze for a moment, a look of disbelief flashing in their eyes.
"Big Brother Lin Fan… is really from a low-tier dynasty?"
Su Rou asked softly, looking up at Lin Fan with wide eyes.
"Of course," Lin Fan laughed, slicing a piece of roasted meat from the spit and offering it to her.
"Want some?"
"Thank you, Big Brother Lin Fan."
Su Rou blushed as she reached out to take it. Her fingers brushed against Lin Fan's hand.
[Ding! You touched Su Rou and obtained: One portion of Earthheart Spirit Dew!]
Earthheart Spirit Dew!
The moment Lin Fan heard the system prompt, a surge of joy rose in his heart.
Across the world, many natural treasures existed—formed by heaven and earth, each possessing miraculous effects.
Earthheart Spirit Dew was one such treasure. It not only boosted strength but, more importantly, aided in forming one's primordial spirit—a process even Nine Yuan Nirvana cultivators struggled with!
Now, with the Earthheart Spirit Dew, Lin Fan could begin condensing his primordial spirit ahead of time.
He hadn't expected to receive such a treasure just by meeting Su Rou.
His gaze toward her naturally softened.
He had already sensed the presence of a spiritual seal within her, but he didn't mention it.
After all, he had one too—and his could even be refined and absorbed at will.
Xiao Diao, sitting nearby, also sensed something and looked toward Lin Fan, a question in his eyes.
Lin Fan shook his head slightly, signaling not to worry.
He then shared some meat with Su Kui and Liu Ya. The two gratefully accepted without complaint.
"Thank you, Big Brother Lin Fan."
Soon after finishing the food, Su Rou wiped her lips and smiled sweetly.
"You're welcome," Lin Fan replied warmly.
After a bit of small talk, everyone sat cross-legged in silence, awaiting dawn.
Eventually, the darkness lifted.
As the first rays of light stretched across the horizon, the wild yuan energy in the air began to calm.
"Brother Lin Fan, thank you for your hospitality. We won't overstay—please accept our farewell,"
Su Kui stood and clasped his hands solemnly.
With that, he turned and led his group away.
"Big Brother Lin Fan, Big Brother Lin Dong, Big Brother Lin Yan, Big Brother Lin Diao—take care!"
Su Rou waved shyly, her cheeks rosy as she followed her companions.
After they left, Lin Fan's group remained by the fire, not in a hurry to move.
"That girl… what's her deal?"
Xiao Diao asked at last, unable to hold back his curiosity any longer.
"She probably has a spiritual seal in her body—but likely hasn't fully awakened to it yet,"
Lin Fan answered with a calm smile.
"Spiritual seal? What's that?" Lin Dong asked, intrigued.
"Ah, that explains it," Xiao Diao murmured. He then gave a brief explanation of spiritual seals to Lin Dong and Xiao Yan before glancing at Lin Fan suspiciously.
"Didn't think you'd know about that too."
"I know more than you think,"
Lin Fan replied casually with a faint smile.
Thanks to his system, Lin Fan had long since made up a backstory involving mystical dreams, which worked perfectly within the context of this world.
Xiao Diao was about to retort when his expression suddenly changed.
"They're under attack. Should we help?"
He turned to Lin Fan.
Lin Dong and Xiao Yan also looked at Lin Fan, waiting for his decision.
With a chuckle, Lin Fan patted both of their shoulders.
"We've slaughtered enough in the Ancient Battlefield.
Time to try saving someone instead."
Rising to his feet, he headed off toward Su Rou's group.
Lin Dong, Xiao Diao, and Xiao Yan exchanged glances and followed without hesitation.
At that moment, the system chimed pleasantly in Lin Fan's mind—
Another reward had just arrived.
