With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods-Chapter 272 Strange Pillars

For now, Lin Fan held back his confusion and curiosity.

He didn't know what this Holy Dragon Church was, but he was sure that he would be able to find out the truth if he found the Hidden Dragon Sect.

They both had the word "dragon" in their names, so he was sure that there was some kind of connection there.

So Lin Fan went back into the main room to discuss buying the items with the village chief.

Going back to the topic, Lin Fan said, "We'll offer you twice what we paid last time for the items that you have. Also, if there are any special items that we find, we'll pay you even more."

The village chief's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Money was the greatest driving force in this world. As long as there was enough money, anything was possible.

So with the allure of money, the village chief didn't waste any time.

He just said with a quick nod, "Yes, yes, we'll be more than willing to sell anything that we have."

He also quickly explained to Lin Fan that he was going to gather everyone with their items in the square, so he asked him to wait. Lin Fan didn't mind this since he knew that this would be easier for him.

Then after that, he quickly ran out of his house and started gathering the villagers while leaving his son to tend to Lin Fan. He had told his son to give Lin Fan anything he wanted, even if wanted…some women.

After all, he was sure that the single women of the village were more than willing to hook a person like Lin Fan.

Lin Fan however wasn't willing to do something like that.

While there were cute girls in this village, there really weren't any that could match the girls that were already in his harem.

So there weren't any girls that caught his eyes.

Though there wasn't a lack of trying.

If he hadn't been a powerful cultivator that could keep them away with his aura alone, they might have charged him, ripped off his clothes and reverse r*ped him…

That was just how desperate they were.

When the village chief came back a few minutes later, he was surprised to find the girls huddling in a corner.

He had thought that at least one or two of them would be at Lin Fan's side serving him tea…but here they were all huddling in the corner.

But since this had happened, he couldn't say anything without bringing up his involvement in this.

So he ignored the girls and said to Lin Fan, "Young master Lin, everyone has gathered in the village square with their items. Would you like to see them now?"

Lin Fan stood up and gave a nod before saying, "Lead the way."

As the girls watched him leave, they couldn't help revealing sad looks.

This had been their chance to move up in the world by grabbing a rich and handsome husband, but it had failed like this. Naturally they weren't willing to accept these results.

The girls from Royal Style looked at these girls with schadenfreude.

The girls that worked for Yue Lan were all confident in their appearances, they knew that they were far more beautiful than any girl from any village.

If even they couldn't move Lin Fan's heart, how could these hick girls move it?

Though the real reason they thought this was to make themselves feel better.

After all, the idea that they might be serving Lin Fan if they caught his eyes had already been drilled into their heads by Yue Lan. They had also heard the success of Lan'er Lu'er, and Ouyang Qian, so they all had hope that they would be next.

A powerful and rich person like Lin Fan was a dream husband even for them who had gained power after they started working for Lin Fan.

It was an added bonus that…he was much more handsome than any other men that they had seen.

So they all wanted to catch his attention just like the village girls.

It was just too bad that he didn't have eyes for anyone.

When Lin Fan arrived in the village square, he found that practically everyone in the village was there. 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

Then when they saw him arrive, all of them revealed bright looks in their eyes as if they were staring at prey. Though there were some that had a trace of disappointment when they saw that there wasn't anyone else with him…

These were the parents of the girls that had been sent to the village chief's house.

Everyone seemed to be holding an item or multiple items in their hands and when Lin Fan looked closely, he saw that all of these items had the same "sacred mark" on them, which was what he was looking for in the first place. Then when he appraised them with his Appraisal Eyes, he found that these items all had the same sealed description that the other items had before.

Of course, he didn't plan on using the token to unlock them just yet.

There was a limited use to the token as far as he could tell and he still needed the token for something else first. So for now, he would just gather these items and see if there was a use for them in the future.

After all, what he was looking for now was the Hidden Dragon Sect that had created this token in the first place. As long as he was able to find them, he was sure that they would have some way of unsealing these artifacts or restoring the power inside of this token.

So until he found them, he wouldn't use the power of the token for unnecessary things.

However, it was strange being stared at by these villagers…

It was almost as if he was a piece of meat that was being stared at by a bunch of predators.

They had already seen how much the ones that had sold the items had received previously and now they were offering to pay twice as much…They would be fools if they didn't accept this offer.

So they brought out all these items that had been cluttering up their houses to sell to Lin Fan.

Of course, it didn't take long for Lin Fan to sort out which items were real and fake with his Appraisal Eyes.

In the face of money, there were naturally those that did unscrupulous things. There were some villagers that had tried painting symbols on the items that they had brought and weren't real artifacts.

Some tried to complain when Lin Fan refused to buy it, but he was able to easily scratch off the paint that they had used to create these fake items.

When the village chief saw this, he immediately had people take these people away, but Lin Fan could see that they were just moving them to get them out of danger. After all, they had tried to trick a cultivator, so it wouldn't end well if Lin Fan did something to them.

He was the village chief and it was his job to protect them.

But Lin Fan didn't care since he had also gained the mentality of a cultivator.

He didn't care about the tricks that mortal villagers like this used to earn a bit more money.

After they had finished buying all the items, Lin Fan had the village chief lead him to the pillars that were just outside the village.

The village chief was surprised since it was already late afternoon by the time that they had finished. He had even prepared a feast for Lin Fan to welcome him, but now it seemed like it was going to waste, which hurt his heart since it wasn't easy for a small village chief like him to prepare something like this.

But Lin Fan was the cultivator and the boss of these girls, as well as the one that could bring a bunch of money to their village, so he didn't dare delay him in his matters.

So the two of them headed off to the pillars alone.

Lin Fan had left the girls behind to sort through the artifacts that they had just collected and had them prepare them for transport back to the town.

As they watched him leave, they couldn't help staring at him with a longing look, as if they wanted to go with him.

But since Lin Fan had already given his order, they could only stay here and sort through the artifacts.

It didn't take long for Lin Fan and the village chief to arrive at the pillars outside of town since they were just right outside of the village gate.

According to the village chief, their ancestors had settled here because of the Hidden Dragon Sect and had settled at the pillars which had once been the entrance to the sect.

It was only in their generation that the Hidden Dragon Sect had suddenly disappeared, leaving behind these pillars.

He could still remember when the Hidden Dragon Sect existed.

It was a place filled with magnificent buildings and powerful immortals flying through the sky, a place that mortals like him could only dream of. It was only because they were close to the Hidden Dragon Sect that a mortal like him was even able to see this.

Lin Fan however didn't bother listening to his stories once they arrived at the pillars.

As soon as they were here, his attention was immediately attracted by the pillars.

As had been described, these were simple pillars that had the same mark on the token on them, but when Lin Fan used his Appraisal Eyes, he found that there was nothing special about the pillars.

Unlike the artifacts that were in the town, these pillars weren't sealed.

They were just simple pillars that seemed to be placed here.

If that was the case, wouldn't that mean that this was a dead end for him?

Lin Fan couldn't help knitting his brows when this thought passed through his mind.

He had come all this way just to complete the mission, but if there wasn't anything here for him, didn't that mean that he failed the mission?

Or would he have to track down the remnants of the Hidden Dragon Sect…?

That was even more of a hassle than rebuilding the True Love Sect!

Lin Fan suddenly shook his head to shake out these thoughts and then suddenly pulled out the token.

The moment that the token appeared, there was a change in the air around them.

The village chief just felt like something had changed without knowing what exactly, but it was different for a cultivator like Lin Fan.

He could feel the change in the flow of spiritual energy in the air around the pillars.

As he followed the new flow of spiritual energy, his eyes finally arrived at a spot that was in the center of the pillar.
