From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master-Chapter 359: West Monastery

"Where do you think the Arhat Arduous Cultivation Technique's manuscript is kept?" The chief librarian asked as he unrolled the scroll.

"Somewhere in their library too?" Ho Ming asked.

It was a guess that everyone would make.

"Things aren't that simple." The chief librarian pointed his finger at the scroll.

Lin Fan looked at what was written on the scroll.

It seemed to be an architectural blueprint.

"Every sect master of the West Monastery when they are about to pass, has the chance to transcend and breakthrough in a secret realm.

"They will be sealed within an enclosure, together with herbs and other artifacts, treasures and put into the secret realm.

"If they succeed, they can prolong their lives and emerge out of the secret realm stronger.

"The last sect master had the Arhat Arduous Cultivation Technique's manuscript with him in the secret realm.

"And this right here, is the blueprint for the West Monastery and where the secret realm is in the West Monastery."

There was a cross marked on the blueprint where it says Secret Realm.

Lin Fan frowned and said, "How do you know all this?"

The chief librarian gave Lin Fan a smile and said, "You aren't the first ones I sent, hopefully you'll be the last that I need to."

Hearing this, Lin Fan's view of the chief librarian changed drastically.

The chief librarian was much more fixated on getting the manuscript than Lin Fan had expected.

And he was more than willing to sacrifice disciples' lives for it.

"Don't worry, go find an old monk named Wang Nian. He will be able to get you to the secret realm." The chief librarian took out a wooden slab and passed it over to Lin Fan.

"Show him the wooden slab when you see him. Don't think for even a moment that these monks aren't as greedy and power hungry as us."

Lin Fan kept the wooden slab and nodded.

To get much higher-level manuscripts, it was a price to pay.

They bowed to the chief librarian and left.

Lin Fan had the face mask artifact given to him by Zhang Yi Nian, so he could go in disguise.

But for Ho Ming, he would have to find a face mask artifact for him.

Having the face mask artifact would save them so much trouble as many like Long Kong and Hu Tuo knew who they were.

Hun Yen Kun had one, so he decided to go visit Hun Yen Kun with Ho Ming.

"Turn your wrist when you thrust the sword." Hun Yen Kun held onto Lee Xiao's wrist, trying to adjust it to the optimal position for the Twirling Wind Strike.

Lee Xiao and Tai Lan had been able to get advice from Hun Yen Kun since the battle with the Lady Saint.

And they didn't disappoint by being hardworking and diligent.

"Senior martial brother." Lin Fan bowed at Hun Yen Kun and said.

"Lin Fan. What brought you here? Such a rare occasion. Let me think of a poem quick..." Hun Yen Kun took out his fan and fanned himself as he tried hard to think of a poem.

Lin Fan shook his hand and said, "It's all right. No need for the poem. We are here to borrow something."

"Yes, we are going on a mission, and we hope to borrow the face mask artifact for disguise." Ho Ming standing by the side told Hun Yen Kun their purpose of visit.

"Face mask artifact?" Hun Yen Kun rubbed his chin and looked at Lin Fan with suspicion.

Lin Fan had always kept things to himself and asked for more than he needed.

This mission of theirs must've been interesting.

Something that Hun Yen Kun would be keen to be on.

He was bored and tired of staying in the sect.

Dealing with the matters of running the Sword Peak had driven him crazy.

Nothing beats a carefree outing away from the sect.

Lin Fan saw Hun Yen Kun's reaction, and he figured what Hun Yen Kun was thinking about.

"You are more than welcome to join us, but it might be dangerous though."

He then went on and briefed Hun Yen Kun on what they were after.

Hun Yen Kun closed his fan and slapped it onto his palm.

This was something that's right up his alley.

His Dao had always been closer to Zhao Qing Ying than Qing Yang zi.

"Count me in. I've always wanted to teach those bitter faced monks a lesson."

Hun Yen Kun said with anticipation.

With the face mask artifact settled, Lin Fan only required to request time away from Zhang Yi Nian.

Zhang Yi Nian didn't stop him as he knew that getting a more powerful technique was also crucial to get more powerful.

Cultivation wise, Lin Fan was already far ahead of what he could help him with.

All that he could do now was allocate resources like pills, herbs, artifacts and demonic beast cores to Lin Fan.

...

After they prepared essentials like food, water, pills for the trip, they set off to the West Monastery.

"Senior martial brother, what do you know about the West Monastery?" Lin Fan asked as he lifted one of his hands to shield the bright sunlight from his eye.

The West Monastery was in the western region of Quan Dynasty.

Which was dry and hot, a far cry from the greeneries of the southern province.

Hun Yen Kun with his fan, blocked the sunlight and sand coming at him.

"I heard that there was a split in the West Monastery not too long ago.

"Long Kong's senior martial brother was against his ascend to be the sect master.

"So he tried to topple Long Kong as the sect master, but as you know now, they failed.

"They left and were nowhere to be seen again."

Lin Fan nodded at the familiar struggles within sects.

As long as it didn't obstruct his objective of getting the Arhat Arduous Cultivation Technique's manuscript, then he wasn't too concerned with the factions in West Monastery.

But it confirmed his hunch about Long Kong, that he was not what he seemed to be.

Could he be with the....

Lin Fan thought for a moment but shook his head.
