Chapter 184: Nine Swords Immortal Mansion? Qin Yu: I've Enlightened! (Part 2)

Secondly, Ya Ya's cultivation was quite astonishing.

She had entered the Sixth Realm! But in terms of cultivation, she was already on par with Xiao Ling'er! The most astonishing thing was that Ya Ya had numerous and powerful 'skills'!

One Thought Bloom, Overlord of the Heavens, she had already grasped the basics!

Supreme Self Technique, she had already grasped the basics!

Great Dao Vase, Ten Thousand Transformations Art, Flying Immortal Technique... she had already grasped the basics!

To say that she had mastered them was an exaggeration.

In the end, these are all called 'Divine Arts', each more formidable than the last. The complete version is on par with the Immortal King, or even the Immortal Emperor, an absurdly powerful level.

Nowadays, Yaoyao at the Sixth Realm, with her initial creation, is already considered heaven-defying. If she were to create the complete version, she would instantly become invincible, surpassing all other protagonist templates.

She could even beat Long Aojiao to a pulp!

Of course, there's no possibility of that.

Even though Lin Fan eagerly anticipates and has high hopes for Yaoyao, he knows that such a scenario is impossible.

However, despite Yaoyao's current strength, Lin Fan's greatest concern remains her.

It's not about her age, but her unique growth path, different from other disciples, which will inevitably attract numerous enemies, and these enemies will only grow stronger!

After all, even the female emperor herself had endured such a tragic experience and has lived through several lifetimes...

Lin Fan isn't worried about Yaoyao not living through a second life.

But...

If she could avoid those sufferings, it would naturally be better.

In the end, Lin Fan has a protective personality.

If he doesn't have the means, then so be it.

But if he does, and has the ability, why should she endure hardship?

The saying, "One must endure the bitterest of hardships to become a superior person," in Lin Fan's opinion, is merely an excuse for those who have no other choice but to face adversity.

He greatly admires Yu Hua's words, "Never believe that suffering is worthwhile. Suffering is just suffering. It doesn't bring success, nor is it worth pursuing. One tempers their will because suffering is unavoidable."

Therefore, he worries about Yaoyao enduring hardships outside.

Unfortunately, both he and the Moon Embrace Sect's current strength are insufficient, and Yaoyao can only strive alongside him.

"Sigh, does this count as having a perfectionist personality?"

Lin Fan chuckled.

Speaking slowly, but in reality, it was just a fleeting moment.

Qin Yu replied, "Thank you, Master, for your concern. I contacted you not for these matters, but..."

"First, I must express my gratitude for your guidance, Master. Now, I have completely found my own path! If not for you, I would likely never have achieved what I have today."

Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh, "Fate is unpredictable."

He felt a bit embarrassed to say this.

"Since you're the protagonist template, even without my guidance, you would still take flight."

"But, with different paths, the experiences will also differ."

Of course, having met me and read 'Ten Thousand Stars Transformation', it's like having the answers to an open-book exam, with a perfect guide to pass the level.

The benefits are quite evident.

"Moreover, this is also due to your own efforts and talent."

"Master, you're too modest. It's clearly all because of your guidance."

Qin Yu praised Lin Fan, and then clarified the intention of his contact, "Master, I obtained a Shooting Tear and a small jade sword."

"Oh?"

Lin Fan reacted instantly.

While marveling inwardly, he also silently mocked.

Damn Shooting Tear and small jade sword.

The template is just a template.

Is it necessary to be so similar? As he was mocking, Qin Yu spoke again, "The Shooting Tear is a name I came up with based on the story, and as for this small jade sword, I'm wondering if it's related to the Nine Swords Immortal Mansion?"

Lin Fan was about to say he didn't know...

But as the words reached his lips, he had a sudden realization.

That's not right!

Is Qin Yu testing me???

After all, with such similar experiences and items, if I were Qin Yu, I would also be suspicious! You wrote this story years in advance, already predicting all of this, so how could you not know the subsequent developments???

So...

Does he want me to 'spoil' it???

How should I respond? Say I don't know? Or make something up? Neither feels right.

It doesn't fit my 'profoundly mysterious' persona.

Lin Fan was helpless.

In truth, he disliked acting all 'mysterious', but he had no choice; he had to put on an act.

If he didn't...

How could I explain knowing their experiences so clearly, even predicting their ultimate achievements?

This is ridiculous! I can't just come clean and say, "I'm not pretending anymore. I'm just a modern game streamer who knows all this because I've read web novels~"

What's a web novel?

Just some made-up stories by ordinary people with wild imaginations?

Absolutely not!

So, he could only continue the act.

Lin Fan sighed, his tone becoming ethereal, "Fate is unpredictable, no one can foretell."

"The future, though fated, is not set in stone."

"The outcome will ultimately be determined by your own steps forward."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu's heart raced, and he became extra cautious.

"Ssss!"

"What do you mean, Master?"

He realized his mistake and silently scolded himself.

"Indeed!"

"Because I've read 'Ten Thousand Stars Transformation', I thought I had everything under control, even feeling a sense of disdain for everyone, believing that even if I entered the Nine Swords Immortal Mansion, I would effortlessly become the ultimate winner..."

"But the future is never set in stone."

"Any change in detail could bring about a huge transformation."

"If I'm too careless, I might capsize in a ditch, and one misstep could lead to eternal regret!"

"I must not be so reckless!"

"I must not have the slightest carelessness; I must be cautious, again and again!"

"Master, you've spoken these words, surely you've seen through my thoughts, and are reminding me to take one step at a time, to be cautious yet fearless."

"Thank you, Master, for your guidance!"

He responded with utmost respect.

After hearing this, Lin Fan shook his head to himself, muttering, "Damn, I'm acting again."

"But what's frustrating is that I don't even know his thoughts."

"Alright, to be consistent, I'll keep up the act."

He spoke in a solemn tone, "I bestow upon you a saying."

"I will heed the Master's words."

Lin Fan tried to make his voice sound ethereal, "Though I am but a mortal, my heart soars towards the sky.

With reverence in my heart, I shall fearlessly embark on my journey."

Qin Yu recited these words, muttering them over and over again.

The more he repeated them, the more profound they seemed, and he felt a deep sense of enlightenment.

"Thank you, Master, for your words. I have understood!"

In the Moon Embrace Sect, Lin Fan rolled his eyes.

What has he understood?

Sometimes, I really feel like calling the police. You guys are so easily enlightened by anything you hear.

I can't do it, so frustrating!

"Do you have any more questions?"

"No, Master, I have no more doubts!"

"..."

Lin Fan's lips twitched slightly, "Then I'll have your third senior brother make a trip and bring the resources and secret techniques for you."

"It's all up to Master's arrangement."

Qin Yu felt that he had truly 'understood'!

Why think so much? Did he even want to extract more information from Master's words?

If Master was willing to speak, why wait until now?

There must be a deeper meaning behind his silence!

Given Master's ability to perceive the future, there must be a reason for sending the third senior brother.

All he needs to do is take one step at a time, steady and firm.

This is his path.

...

"Wang Teng, you possess the bearing of a Great Emperor."

Looking at Wang Teng before him, Lin Fan sighed, "Even though you've chosen the most difficult path, I still believe in you!"

"However, you must remain humble and not be reckless. Never let your talents lead to arrogance or carelessness."

"Remember, there are always greater beings out there. Caution is paramount."

"If you're unsure about being cautious, go seek your second senior brother and have a long talk with him."

Wang Teng nodded vigorously, "Yes, Master, I understand."

"Good, as long as you understand."

Lin Fan took out two storage bags filled with resources and handed them to Wang Teng.

When it came to his own disciples, Lin Fan was like an old father, constantly worrying about them.

As for the other Moon Embrace Sect disciples... he cared less about them.

It wasn't favoritism, but the most correct choice.

Although Wang Teng had broken through his fate and didn't follow the ancient path, as long as his enemies hadn't appeared, Lin Fan couldn't let his guard down.

He needed to constantly remind Wang Teng to stay vigilant and not be careless.

"When you go to the Northern Domain, remember to keep a low profile."

"You might encounter assassination attempts on the road, but with your Invincible Technique and the Xing Word Secret Art I'll teach you, I believe you'll be fine as long as you're cautious."

"After you arrive, there's no need to rush back."

"If you encounter opportunities or if your junior brother needs help, you can make your own decisions."

"Just remember, staying alive is the top priority."

"Yes, Master!"

Wang Teng was deeply touched.

Although Lin Fan was a cultivator, his words were a bit excessive. However, facing such a fatherly figure whose words were filled with concern and sincerity, anyone without a heart of stone would likely not feel annoyed.

"Master, I have a question."

"What is it?"

"When you heard about the Namagatling Bodhisattva, you said you were Barrett Venerable and that I was the Artificial Sun Fist Layman."

"The Artificial Sun Fist Layman knows that Barrett..."

"Could it also be an Invincible Technique?"

"Not exactly. Barrett is a magical treasure, a magical treasure..."

"An extremely powerful magical treasure."

"But it's currently in the sealing stage, ahem, when the time comes, you'll understand."

Lin Fan told a little white lie.

But his words reminded him to create a Barrett.

He should indeed make a Barrett, as he didn't know what kind of person the Namagatling Bodhisattva was. If they met in the future and he insisted that he didn't have a Barrett, what would he do?

And...

If he could create a Barrett at the Immortal Artifact level, wouldn't it be very useful? Ideally, it would be 'semi-automatic', automatically charging and loading. As the owner, he would only need to aim and fire. One shot, and it would take down gods and buddhas alike. Just thinking about it was thrilling!

But...

This thing seemed difficult to obtain. He didn't know if Fire Virtue Peak could create it.

An Immortal Artifact was too difficult, but what about a Dao Soldier level?

It was worth a try!

At least he could make up for the lie. Whether it was useful or powerful, he could figure it out later.

"No problem."

Lin Fan decided to chat with Fire Kun Lun later to see if they could make it.

"Wait, I think I can refine artifacts too."

"And I can use five types of unusual flames in the process, which should make the flames even more powerful than Fire Kun Lun's own."

"..."

"How about we collaborate?"

After a brief chat, Wang Teng left to prepare for a while. He decided to try it out.

Lin Fan seriously considered the matter.

He could use five unusual flames, which would definitely make the flames more powerful than Fire Kun Lun's own.

Additionally, with Fire Kun Lun's experience...

His suggestion was...

Brilliant!

"However, we should modify the Barrett a bit."

"The barrel, rifling, and even the shape can remain unchanged."

The barrel and rifling were very 'scientific'.

They could improve bullet stability and velocity.

Although they were cultivating, applying basic scientific principles was still valid.

"But for the bullets and magazine..."

"I have two ideas."

Lin Fan stroked his chin, "Gunpowder is definitely out of the question."

"That thing's thrust is too weak. But if we use something with more power, like..."

"I have two ideas."

"I have two ideas."

"As long as the bullet and the chamber are strong enough, it's not impossible to blow up a powerful being with a single shot."

"You can also set up some formations within the bullet, guide it with Divine Perception, and so on, allowing it to achieve a certain level of tracking effect."

"Furthermore, you can even hide an 'Artificial Sun Fist' inside, which can be set to self-destruct upon hitting the target or explode under the control of Divine Perception."

"This way, once it hits, it will instantly shatter, directly blasting the enemy, and it also fits the name Barrett."

"Coincidentally, my other self has recently made progress in researching the engraving of formations on the body, and I think with some modifications, it's possible to engrave them on bullets as well."

"This is a relatively scientific idea."

"As for the second idea..."

Lin Fan shook his head, "It's relatively simple and straightforward."

"Since we're in a cultivation world, let's use the cultivators' methods. Each bullet will be carefully crafted, making it a low-level Magical Treasure in itself, just like a flying sword, capable of killing from a thousand miles away. The gun's role is to enhance the power of the bullets."

"It's similar to the Mother and Child Suite Treasure, complementing each other."

"The second idea, Huo Kun Lun will definitely be adept at crafting it, but compared to the first, it feels a bit lacking."

The Mother and Child Suite Treasure sounds impressive, but in the Immortal Martial Continent, it's actually quite common.

Everyone could understand the general idea.

At most, it would just have a unique design.

But here's the issue: if it's a conventional Mother and Child Suite Treasure, why bother making it in the shape of a Barrett, which is not Huo Kun Lun's specialty? Isn't this just asking for trouble?

"So, the first idea is indeed more reliable."

"Or rather, the first idea is inherently more complicated."

"It's based on the Mother and Child Suite Treasure, with additional steps added."

Lin Fan stroked his chin, "Perhaps we can combine both ideas?"

"Ordinary bullets are conventional treasures, they won't explode when fired, and rely solely on the treasure's power to kill enemies. They can be recovered and reused."

"For disposable bullets, I'll use my own method. Each bullet will be filled with the seal of two 'Artificial Suns,' one providing power, and the other exploding upon hitting the target!"

"Moreover, different formations can be engraved to give the bullets various effects."

"For example, Concealment Array and Soundproof Barrier for sneak attacks?"

"Adding a Teleportation Array, or even allowing the bullets to perform spatial leaps?"

"These are all possible."

"No problem!"

"Let's get the Barrett done first!"

Lin Fan set out to find Huo Kun Lun.

Speaking of Magical Treasures, he did have one.

An offensive treasure, a Supreme Dao Soldier-level flying sword obtained from the Ximen family.

It felt quite handy to use.

But he always felt it lacked something.

It wasn't about lacking style, but rather~ it didn't quite fit his status.

Now, he knew what he wanted.

Guns! Guns!!!

As a transmigrator, carrying a Barrett would be reasonable, right?

Moreover, what boy doesn't like playing with guns?

Even if they don't like real guns, they'd still like that gun, right?

If he could craft a Barrett at the Immortal Artifact level in the future, even if the heavenly gates open and true immortals descend, he'd dare to take aim at them!

...

"Crafting a Magical Treasure?"

"Sure, no problem!"

"It's my duty."

Upon hearing that Lin Fan wanted to craft a Magical Treasure, Huo Kun Lun immediately pounded his chest, making a loud clanging sound, "Such a minor task is nothing. Lin brother, you even came here in person, truly..."

"When asking for help, it's only natural."

Lin Fan smiled, "Uncle Huo, the Magical Treasure I want to craft is quite special. After we discuss the details, you tell me what materials are needed, and I'll go find them."

"Nonsense!"

Huo Kun Lun's face showed his disbelief in Lin Fan's words, "Before the establishment of Fire Virtue Peak, I said that I would craft a Magical Treasure for each member of the Moon Embrace Sect."

"Lin brother, your Magical Treasure hasn't been crafted yet."

"This time, why would you need to provide the materials yourself?"

"Speak, Lin brother, what kind of treasure do you want to craft? Offensive? Defensive? Auxiliary? Or something special?"

"As long as I can craft it, anything is possible!"

"I, Huo Kun Lun, will take care of the materials!"

"How could I let you do that?" Lin Fan scratched his head, "My treasure is a special type, and I want it to be as exceptional as possible. The materials required will undoubtedly be rare and valuable."

"I'll take care of it myself."

"Rare and valuable, huh?"

Huo Kun Lun chuckled, "Lin brother, Lin brother!"

"It's not that I'm underestimating you, but you're looking down on me too much."

"If it were something else, I might not dare to make such a promise, but when it comes to crafting materials... Our Fire Virtue Sect truly has no shortage. Even those top-tier and ultra-top-tier sects might not surpass us in this aspect!"

"Take your enemy, the Bright Moon Sect, for example. I dare say they can't compare to us in this regard!"

"Is Fire Virtue Sect so wealthy?" Lin Fan was surprised.

"Ahem, please keep what I'm about to say to yourself."

Huo Kun Lun lowered his voice, "You know, our Fire Virtue Sect engages in manual labor, and crafting treasures is similar to refining pills; there's always a risk of failure or explosion."

"So, when we collect crafting materials, we always ask for more than what's needed."

He winked.

"You understand~"

Wow~

I never expected you to be like this, Huo Kun Lun~!

And I never expected Fire Virtue Sect to be like this either.

But I do understand this kind of thing~

Very well, indeed!

In fact, I think you're being too modest~
