BXBX NOVEL Chapter 90 - 90: Cellmate
“Brother Fang, let me massage your shoulders.” “Brother Fang, let me pound your legs.”
“Brother Fang, let me fan you.”
Within the stone chamber, Fang Lin sat lazily on a pile of dry straw, with four youths fawning over him as they massaged his shoulders, pounded his legs and fanned him.
As for Fang Lin, he was thoroughly enjoying this treatment.
Four days had passed since Fang Lin joined the Demon Suppressing Cave Prison, and the boss of this stone chamber had changed from Wang Dalong to him.
Wang Dalong, however, was more than willing to submit. In fact, he was the one who flattered Fang Lin the most, and he would gladly act like a grandson day in and day out.
The lives of the two youths who had been bullied all along also improved considerably due to Fang Lin’s presence.
After all, Fang Lin didn’t bully them, and Wang Dalong and the others didn’t dare to bully them casually anymore. Thus, they paid high respect to Fang Lin.
“Alright, alright, go away now. I have important things to do.” Fang Lin waved his hand, and the five of them, including Wang Dalong, immediately dispersed.
Fang Lin didn’t care about the presence of others in the room. He touched his Nine Palace Bag, and many items appeared.
Most of them were medicinal materials, and there were also a few Demon
Cores, which were all collected by Fang Lin from the Medicine-Seeking Peak.
“This shameless Gu Daofeng, he confiscated all my rewards from reaching the summit of the Medicine-Seeking Peak! I wonder if I can get them back when I leave?” Fang Lin grumbled, his face showing a hint of displeasure.
Upon hearing Fang Lin’s murmurs, Wang Dalong and the others shivered. Just consider Fang Lin’s audacity; he dared to call the head of Pill Sect shameless. They couldn’t compare to this.
Fang Lin ignored the strange looks from Wang Dalong and the others and happily counted his loot from the Medicine-Seeking Peak.
His trip to the Medicine-Seeking Peak was quite fruitful. Other than some common herbs, the biggest gain was indeed a Moon Spirit Pearl.
This Moon Spirit Pearl was the treasure of a Four-legged Python, which it intended to use during its transformation. However, Fang Lin ended up reaping the benefits.
This Moon Spirit Pearl, Fang Lin did not plan to use it right away. After all, the power of the moon contained within the pearl was extremely strong. Given his current stage of cultivation, he didn’t need to use such a treasure.
There was also a White Bird Fruit and a Phoenix Blood Jade Cleansing Flower. These were rare and precious medicinal materials. It could be said that other than the Moon Spirit Pearl, these were the biggest gains.
Especially the Phoenix Blood Jade Cleansing Flower, even though the Jade Cleansing Flower by itself is not valuable, the embedded Phoenix Blood makes it very precious.
As for White Bird Fruit, it is a rare medicinal herb, known for its moderate medicinal properties and compatibility with various other medicinal materials. It can be used to refine various types of Pills.
In Fang Lin’s plan, he would first use the White Bird Fruit to refine a pill, then use the Phoenix Blood Jade Cleansing Flower to refine a pill.
But what kind of pill should be refined with the White Bird Fruit required careful consideration. After all, there was only one White Bird Fruit, and once used up, it was gone. He needed to refine the pill that he most needs currently.
Additionally, Fang Lin still had eight Demon Cores left. Three of them were from the Medicine-Seeking Peak, and the other five were Fang Lin’s own stock.
Not far away, Wang Dalong and the others saw the items in front of Fang Lin and their eyes widened. However, none of them dared to show any signs of greed.
They had already experienced Fang Lin’s strength. No matter how precious the things Fang Lin took out, they didn’t dare harbor any ideas, and if they did, they would suppress them deep within their hearts, never daring to let them surface.
“Wang Dalong.” Just then, Fang Lin suddenly called out.
Wang Dalong immediately answered, “Boss Fang, what can I do for you?”
Fang Lin, busy fiddling with the medicinal materials on the ground, said without looking up, “How long have all of you been here? Tell me.”
Wang Dalong was stunned, and the other few were also confused.
However, Wang Dalong did not dare to hesitate and immediately replied, “I’ve been here for four years.”
The remaining four youths had been here for three years. They were all brought here together three years ago.
“Oh? So what did you all do?” Fang Lin asked again.
Wang Dalong replied somewhat awkwardly, “I’m a disciple of the Martial Sect. I seriously injured a disciple of the Pill Sect.”
The other four looked at each other, and one of them said, “The four of us are from the Pill Sect. Because we were caught selling inferior pills to Martial Sect disciples, we were all locked up here.”
Fang Lin gave them all a glance and showed a smile, saying, “I didn’t realize you all are quite talented.”
Wang Dalong and the four youths felt awkward, and they weren’t sure if Fang Lin was praising or mocking them.
Fang Lin then turned to the other side where the two frail-looking youths were standing and asked, “What about you two? How did you end up here?”
The two of them looked at each other, and the younger one said, “I offended Yu Qiufan, and he framed me so I was locked up.”
As he said this, a hint of resentment and hatred flashed across the youth’s face.
Fang Lin nodded and said, “I’m also at odds with Yu Qiufan. After I get out, I need to settle scores with him.”
Hearing this, the youth gave a bitter smile and shook his head saying, “Brother Wang, although you are very strong, Yu Qiufan has deep-rooted influence within the Pill Sect. We simply can’t compete.”
Fang Lin smiled slightly and replied, “Yu Qiufan has influence, but it’s not like I, Fang Lin, don’t have any.”
After saying this, Fang Lin looked at another youth.
This youth was a little older, with an expressionless face, like a chunk of wood. In the four days since Fang Lin entered here, he seemed to have never heard this person speak.
“What about you? What did you do?” Fang Lin asked.
The youth gave a bitter smile and opened his mouth. Fang Lin saw that his tongue was gone.
“His tongue was cut off when he came in. He seemed to have stolen something extremely valuable from a senior disciple and was eventually locked up here,” the youth next to him said.
Fang Lin showed a trace of sympathy on his face, and the youth’s mood sank quickly, his face filled with despair.
“Brother Fang, what was your offense that got you in here? I remember when you came in, you were not chained up. That’s not how we criminals are treated,” asked a youth named Shen Dong with curiosity.
The others also showed curiosity, eager to know why Fang Lin was imprisoned in this place.
Fang Lin gave a faint smile and replied, “I was just selling pills privately, and I can leave after a month.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Dong and the others looked at Fang Lin enviously. They had been locked up here for several years and yearned for the outside world. When they learned that Fang Lin could leave after a month, they naturally felt very envious.
However, Shen Dong looked deeply into Fang Lin’s eyes, according to common sense, for the crime of illegally selling pills, one should at least be detained for three to five months. How come Brother Fang can leave after just a month?
Although he was a bit puzzled, Shen Dong didn’t dare to ask more and guessed that Brother Fang must have some strong background.
“Br-, Brother Fang, there’s something I need to tell you…” As Fang Lin was considering what kind of pill should be refined with the White Bird Fruit, Wang
Dalong said tentatively..
