When he woke up in the morning, Lin Fan was surprised by the commotion outside.

When he looked out, he found that there were many people running through the streets.

As he looked closer at them, he recognized a few of them.

The ones that he recognized were the guards from the compound yesterday.

Around them were many random thugs that he didn't recognize, but he could see that their cultivation levels weren't high with his Appraisal Eyes.

It seemed like what he had done yesterday had created quite a stir in this Night Fang City.

When he went down, he saw why.

Night Fang City had its own system for issuing bounties, which was necessary for a city like this. Each of the inn had a special board that was used for missions that were issued in the name of the city.

Of course, to issue a bounty in the first place, one had to have a certain amount of influence in Night Fang City.

So these bounties were guaranteed by that fact and the fact that it went through the city lord.

Right now, one of those bounties was to find a certain thing. No, it was to find two certain things.

It was a pair of tokens that had gone missing.

As for the price, it was ten spirit stones.

This was without a doubt a large amount for the common thugs that lived in Night Fang City, so that's why everyone was so excited. That was why there were so many of them running through the streets right now.

But of course, not a single one of them would be able to find them on Lin Fan.

To be safe, he had hid them inside of the Pet Storage Space, a space that was completely cut off from this world. It was a space that had been created by the system which had the power of a god, so of course it wasn't that easily detected.

Lin Fan had already tested this with Mu Bao Bao and the Golden Core Experts of the Hidden Dragon Sect.

They had been confused about what he wanted to do, but he got the results that he wanted.

As long as a thing was hidden in the Pet Storage Space, there shouldn't be anyone that could find it.

So Lin Fan wasn't worried at all about being caught, that is unless he did something like take out the things that he had stolen and show them off. Of course, he would never do something as dumb as that.

He just calmly watched the thugs moving through the street for a while before suddenly releasing Greeny's puppets again. He wanted to monitor these thugs to see if they took any drastic measures.

He wasn't doing it because he cared about the safety of Night Fang City, but rather he wanted to see what kind of things they would be willing to pull out.

Even though he had taken all the things from the compound, he still didn't know who the family behind it was. All of the documents that he had taken had been encrypted, so he hadn't had the time to go through them all yet.

If he could find traces of that family by following their thugs, then it would be a cost effective solution.

But before any of that, there was something else that Lin Fan needed to take care of.

So after making sure that there was no one around the room that he was in, he entered the Pet Storage Space.

The Pet Storage Space was getting crowded with all the things that he had put in there, but it was a good thing that it could automatically organize itself. So even if there was clutter in the Pet Storage Space, all of the stuff was piled at the edges of the Pet Storage Space and there was still space in the center for Lin Fan to use.

Lin Fan nodded at all the pets that were just lazing around inside the Pet Storage Space before moving towards something that was lying there on the ground.

It was a simple sword blade and nothing else. This was a blade that didn't have a hilt or handle to it, it was just a single sword blade.

It certainly was a strange item since it didn't seem like it could be used.

As for where Lin Fan got this item..

He got it from the building surrounded by the array in the compound last night. This was the item that had been kept hidden under two different arrays, so it was definitely anything but normal.

But then again, it wasn't normal in the first place.

The moment that Lin Fan had pulled it into his Pet Storage Space, there had been a notification from the system.

The system was still asleep after he had finished that main quest and upgraded it, but even then, it still gave him this notification. That was because it had been able to sense what kind of thing had been brought into the Pet Storage Space.

This was a fragment of a god's power.

However, it was different from the fragments that Lin Fan had collected before.

The fragments that Lin Fan had collected before were all related to Greek Gods, but it was different this time. The fragment that Lin Fan collected this time was a..fragment of an immortal artifact.

To put it more clearly, it was a fragment of a broken immortal artifact.

But that didn't mean that there wasn't an immortal's power contained within this thing.

An immortal's power was like the power of a god that it was able to trigger the upgrade of the system, but in this case, the popup asked if Lin Fan wanted to use the immortal's power to speed up the current upgrade.

Of course, Lin Fan wasn't willing to waste this immortal fragment on just speeding up the current upgrade.

If he was going to use it, he would use it for the full upgrade.

But at the same time, he couldn't help wondering what the difference between a god and an immortal was.

As far as the system was concerned, it seemed that the two of them were the same since the power of both could be used to upgrade the system. But there had to be a difference between the two if they had different names.

So he couldn't help taking a closer look at this immortal fragment in front of him.

In the end though, he wasn't able to find a single thing special about it.

So he had no choice but to give up on this immortal fragment.

One interesting thing that Lin Fan found while checking this immortal fragment was that this immortal fragment was drawing in spiritual energy. The spiritual energy that it drew in created a space of high concentration spiritual energy.

Even in this Pet Storage Space that had a high concentration of spiritual energy in the first place, the spiritual energy around this immortal fragment was even higher.

That was why the pets had been lazing around it in the first place.

They had been enjoying the higher concentration of spiritual energy that it offered in the first place.

Lin Fan also felt that if he cultivated near the immortal fragment, his cultivation achievements would be much greater than before.

But for now, he didn't have time to cultivate like this.

For now, what he needed to do was leave this city and get back to his Dungeon City.

He needed people to help him go through the documents that he had taken from the compound.

But there was still something that he wanted to do before leaving this place..

It wasn't because he had any ulterior motives..it was just that those kids could possibly have talent for cultivation, so he wanted to bring them back to the Love Sect with him.

At the same time, it was because of them that he had been able to find the source of the Dragon Tongue Herb so quickly. He felt like there was a kind of connection between him and the orphanage because of this, so he didn't want to abandon them.

So he was planning on heading to the orphanage again before leaving.

But of course, it wasn't easy to convince Yun Lan and those kids to leave the orphanage and this city. They had history in this city and they had people that they cared about in the city, so he was sure that it would be hard for them to leave.

So the first place that he went was..the toy store.

Sometimes, using money to bribe people was a good idea. Especially when it came to kids, toys and candies were the best method of bribing them.

While he did feel a bit weird since this made him someone that others warned about, he still went to buy these things.

Once he had finished with his shopping, he went to the orphanage again.

When the kids saw him, they revealed surprised looks before running over with smiles on their faces.

That was because they didn't know what it was, but their big sister had become much more gentle after his visit yesterday. So now that he was here again, they were naturally happy since it made their lives easier.

Lin Fan was surprised by the enthusiasm of the kids, but he let them pull him in.

Yun Lan, who had been washing the laundry, was also surprised to see him back, but she then said with a smile, "You're back."

Lin Fan just gave a nod in response.
