Cultivation Pet Shop

Of course, it wasn't just Jiang Zhi Shu's group that was brought up. There was also one person that Lin Fan had brought up along with them that he wasn't in charge of.

When this person saw Lin Fan appear at the residence, he came over and asked, "Where are they?"

Lin Fan just calmly said, "They're currently being held under house arrest, but they are safe."

This man was Lin Ao, Lin Fan's father.

The "they" that he referred to was his wife and daughter, who were also Lin Fan's mother and little sister.

Lin Ao knitted his brows before asking, "Where are they? I'll go and break them out now."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at Lin Ao and he found that Lin Ao was in the Child Soul Realm just like him. However, he also knew that this was far from being enough to break into the Yue Family Manor in the True Spirit Sect.

After all, that was one of the twelve great factions where there were True Spirit Realm Experts. Even if Lin Ao was already in the Child Soul Realm, he was still too weak compared to them.

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "It's not time yet."

Lin Ao knitted his brows even more as he said, "Are you saying that we should wait until something happens before we act? We need to get them out as soon as we can."

Lin Fan once again shook his head and said, "Even if we go now, there isn't anything that we can do. I have someone watching over them, so there's nothing to worry about for now."

Lin Ao finally revealed a look of anger as he stepped up to Lin Fan and said, "So you're saying that we should just trust this person you have watching them? How can we trust someone else like this? They are our family, we should protect them ourselves!"

Lin Fan looked at how strongly his father was coming on and couldn't help shaking his head as he gave a sigh.

Lin Ao was taken aback when he saw this, but before he could say anything else, Lin Fan said, "Why do you think that mom went back with her family?"

Lin Ao stood there in a daze as he looked at Lin Fan's calm expression and then he suddenly said, "That's because…"

"Because we weren't strong enough, right?" Lin Fan cut him off before he could continue. Then after a pause, he asked with a slightly sad look, "Do you think that we're strong enough now?"

Lin Ao looked like he wanted to say something, but then he suddenly gave a sigh as his shoulders sank and he stood there in silence.

Lin Fan shook his head and then said, "They wouldn't want us to throw our lives away for nothing. We have endured for this long, we can endure for a bit longer."

Lin Ao looked up at Lin Fan and couldn't help feeling emotional. He remembered when his son had been just born, how small and weak he had been. But now, his son was already taller than him and not any weaker compared to him.

Rather, he even felt that if he were to fight against the current Lin Fan, it would be very likely that he would be the one who lost.

So in the end, Lin Ao just gave a sigh and patted Lin Fan on the shoulder before saying, "I'll listen to you." After saying this, he went back into the residence with a dejected sigh.

But of course, that didn't last long since he knew that Lin Fan was right.

There was no time weeping over this, instead he should be using this time to get stronger.

Back when he had come to this Galactic Humanity Alliance all that time ago, he never had the resources that Lin Fan had now. But even then, he had been able to reach the Child Soul Realm just with sheer hard work.

Now that Lin Fan had prepared all these things to help him with his cultivation, if he wasn't able to get stronger, not only would he be letting his son down, he would be letting his wife and daughter down.

So with this renewed motivation, Lin Ao started his cultivation.

As for Lin Fan, he had some small talk with the others before assigning them their tasks.

Other than Jiang Zhi Shu and the people who could fight, Lin Fan had also brought up people who would help him manage his business.

He didn't just need people who would fight, he also needed people to help him earn money since only with money would he be able to make the people who could fight stronger. He himself wasn't someone who was very good at this and he had already recruited people that were good at this back on the Blue Star Planet, so it wasn't a problem for him to bring them up with him.

As for his business on the Blue Star Planet, these people had trained their replacements before coming up.

Unlike the Blue Star Planet, there was plenty of food in this Galactic Humanity Alliance, so there wasn't a lack of food products. However, there was a lack of innovation since most people wanted to be cultivators instead of cooks.

After all, one couldn't protect their family just by being cooks unless they were famous cultivator cooks like old man Qiao.

So there was a lack of variety when it came to foods.

This was where Lin Fan came in.

He still had plenty of recipes that he could use, so he would use them to promote food culture in this Galactic Humanity Alliance like he had done on the Blue Star Planet.

The only other thing that he needed were funds and locations to build his company, which was what he had been slowly gathering during his time in the Galactic Humanity Alliance.

Not to mention that he had the Xu Family working for him now, so it was easy for him to get locations if he wanted. Worse case, he would be able to use the Hunters Organization network to help him gather more locations for his business.

After assigning tasks to everyone, Lin Fan turned back to Jiang Zhi Shu's group.

He used his spiritual sense to check their cultivations, but he couldn't help being disappointed in the end.

The strongest among them was Jiang Zhi Shu who had barely reached the Fragmented Soul Realm and the rest were all still not in the Soul Realm yet. This was far from being strong enough to help him accomplish his goals…

After giving a sigh, Lin Fan waved his hands and brought out some pills before saying, "Work hard. You all need to get stronger before you can be helpful to me."

When Jiang Zhi Shu and the rest saw the pills, they all revealed bright looks.

They all quickly thanked Lin Fan before taking these pills and heading off to cultivate.

Seeing that there was nothing left for him to do here, Lin Fan headed back to the store.

When they left, old man Qiao couldn't help asking, "Was that man your father? Is your family suffering from some kind of difficulties? If you are, you can ask our Hunters Organization for help."

Old man Qiao had been eavesdropping on Lin Fan's conversation with his father earlier. He and the entire Hunters Organization fully recognized how important Lin Fan was now, so they were doing all they could to bring him over to their side.

Not to mention that these were troubles that people of the lower realm were suffering, so it wouldn't be hard for the Hunters Organization, one of the twelve great factions to help them.

Lin Fan looked at him for a bit before shaking his head and saying, "No, thank you, but this is a family matter."

Old man Qiao wanted to say something else, but seeing the firm look on Lin Fan's face, he swallowed his words in the end.

Lin Fan had considered looking for the Hunters Organization's help, but he recognized that this would make things much more complicated than he wanted this matter to be.

As long as it was only him and his father, this would only be a matter that involved the Yue Family and the Liao Family. Neither of these families could move the entire True Spirit Sect, so as long as the Hunters Organization or any of the other twelve great factions didn't get involved, they wouldn't be facing the entire True Spirit Sect.

At most, the Yue and Liao Families had their Nascent Soul Realm elders to depend on, but if the entire True Spirit Sect was provoked, that would mean that even the True Soul Realm Experts would be moved.

Even if Lin Fan was confident in himself, he knew that he wasn't a match for True Soul Realm Experts just yet.

So that was why Lin Fan chose to keep this matter small instead of making a mountain out of a molehill.

Of course, that didn't mean that he would be negligent.

Since most of his forces were weak right now, he would supplement it with Child Soul Realm beasts that he had nurtured from the last batch. With these, it shouldn't be a problem to keep them safe.

As for the ones that he would sell to the smaller factions, he had already asked for more eggs from the twelve great factions, so he would just be able to hatch more.

The only other thing that he would need to do was find a way to give more Nascent Soul Realm beasts to the factions from the twelve great factions that he was close to.

If they worked together against the Thunder Sect, the True Spirit Sect, and the Assassins Association, it would be a good distraction that would help his own plans.
