Chapter 242: How to Break the Decade Cataclysm? Black Aojiao Awakens (Part 2)
"
"You... know?"
"I guessed it."
Yao Mu's eyes lowered, "You've always been curious about your senior sister's identity, right? If I'm not mistaken, she is currently the master of the Inferno Pill Tower!"
"Her?!"
Xiao Ling'er's expression changed repeatedly.
"That's right," Lin Fan nodded.
Yao Mu sighed, "Fellow Daoist, you've brought trouble upon yourself again."
"The pills you've refined have spread far and wide, so it's not surprising that the Inferno Pill Tower has discovered us."
"Others may not recognize him, but my errant disciple is someone I could never ignore. Just a glance is all it takes for me to identify him."
"As for Ling'er's current fame, she doesn't need to exert much effort to pinpoint the Moon Embrace Sect."
"I suppose this is why the Inferno Pill Tower has set their sights on the Moon Embrace Sect."
"As for the Hidden Soul Palace... Based on my understanding of that errant disciple and the Inferno Pill Tower, I believe they are aware of their insufficient strength and fear unexpected developments. Hence, they wish to form alliances with other powers that hold grudges against the Moon Embrace Sect, and strike together?"
Yao Mu paused before speaking, "It's not just them."
"It's highly likely that the Bright Moon Sect is also involved!"
"Impressive!" Lin Fan secretly praised in his heart.
Indeed, he was once the Alchemy Emperor.
To deduce so much from mere clues and directly uncover the truth, he was truly remarkable.
"It's not impossible."
Lin Fan nodded slightly, "Fellow Daoist's words are most likely the truth. According to my knowledge, the Inferno Pill Tower and the Hidden Soul Palace have indeed decided to join forces."
"As for when and how they will strike, it's still uncertain."
"But we must remain vigilant."
"Indeed, we must be vigilant." Xiao Ling'er clenched her teeth, "Moreover, I want to settle this for my teacher!"
"Don't be careless."
Yao Mu spoke in quick succession, "That errant disciple's cultivation back then was no weaker than yours now, and her talents are exceptional. If not for that, I wouldn't have taken her as my disciple."
"After several thousand years, even though she hasn't reached the Ninth Realm, I believe she is not far from it."
"Additionally, with the entire Inferno Pill Tower and even the Hidden Soul Palace..."
"This matter requires careful consideration."
Xiao Ling'er smiled, "Teacher, how should we carefully consider this?"
"Wait a few more days, then find an opportunity to leave. Return alone to the Inferno Pill Tower?"
Yao Mu fell silent.
She... indeed had such thoughts.
Strictly speaking, this matter originated from her, and if not for her 'blindness' in choosing the wrong person back then, how could there be today's Han Feng? Without today's Han Feng, there wouldn't be the crisis of the Moon Embrace Sect.
Therefore, she wanted to resolve this matter herself.
Let dust return to dust, and earth return to earth.
She couldn't possibly involve others in this.
But Xiao Ling'er saw through her intentions, and she felt embarrassed.
"Teacher, if not for your wholehearted teachings, how could I have achieved what I have today?" Xiao Ling'er sighed softly, "I can guess your thoughts, but it also pains me to recall your past experiences."
"Give me a chance, and let me accompany you. How about it?"
This matter was an internal affair of the sect.
Strictly speaking, it shouldn't involve the Moon Embrace Sect.
Therefore, she didn't want to implicate them.
Yao Mu trembled slightly, just about to speak, but Lin Fan interrupted, "You two, is that enough?"
"I'm still here."
"The Inferno Pill Tower isn't some petty sect, and behind them, there's also the Hidden Soul Palace. Now, one by one, you want to take them on?"
Lin Fan rolled his eyes.
I called you two over to discuss countermeasures.
Not to let you show off, not to let you 'touch yourselves' and then go to war, alright? "That includes you!"
As he spoke, he glared at Ya Ya, whose eyes flickered.
The latter stuck out her tongue and remained silent.
In front of Lin Fan, within the Moon Embrace Sect, Ya Ya didn't display a hint of her ruthless Empress' demeanor, instead resembling a meek girl.

Naturally, his growth speed was extremely fast.
With Lin Fan’s guidance, Little Stone wouldn’t be puzzled about how to break through the Ultimate Stage.
Now, he had even opened his tenth Cavern World! This belonged to the ‘Ultimate Stage,’ but he hadn’t yet surpassed it.
If he continued to stay at the Moon Embrace Sect, he might eventually break through, but the path of the Wilderness Emperor was destined to be full of thorns. If he were raised in a greenhouse, would he still be the Wilderness Emperor?
Sometimes, when it was time to let him go out and strive, one couldn’t be too soft-hearted.
"But..."
Ya Ya was a bit concerned, saying, "Little Junior Brother is still so young. Although his cultivation system is different, he’s only at the Second Realm. Isn’t it a bit too early to let him go out for training now?"
"Do you know it’s too early?"
Lin Fan rolled his eyes: "Who was it that wanted to wander alone without any cultivation, and even refused to have a guardian?"
Ya Ya: "..."
"Cough, really?"
"Master, Ya Ya doesn’t remember."
Lin Fan: "..."
This girl was becoming more and more mischievous. When she was with him, she didn’t seem like a ruthless Empress at all.
Lin Fan shook his head: "Go. Let it be as he wishes. If he wants to go out for training, let him go freely. If he doesn’t want to, the Moon Embrace Sect can accommodate him."
"Yes, Master."
Ya Ya slinked away.
If she stayed any longer, it would be very awkward to bring up old accounts.
"But, Little Junior Brother is indeed still too young. I must prepare some things for him."
While thinking, she went to send a message.
After she left, Lin Fan rolled his eyes again.
"Still not going down the mountain? Still not going down the mountain, my Eight Treasures Chickens will really be devoured by him!"
Indeed, the Wilderness Emperor was worthy of being the Wilderness Emperor.
His progress was too fast.
His comprehension was also heaven-defying.
How long had it been since he passed on the incomplete version of the Traveling Secret to him? He had cultivated it successfully with Cavern World Realm cultivation, even reaching the Minor Success Stage!
If it weren’t for the Eight Treasures Chickens and Eight Treasures Ducks exploding when facing life and death crises, accelerating the process, many of them would have already been devoured by Little Stone.
Of course, it wasn’t that he couldn’t eat them.
Just...
Not so fast! At least wait until those little chicks grow up and start laying eggs before eating them, right?
So, cough.
If Little Stone himself is willing to goout for training, letting him go out is undoubtedly the best choice.
"As for the Decade Cataclysm, since it’s come to this, there’s no need to hesitate."
"At worst, I’ll treat it as a test, to see... If I actively solve the calamity, will there still be new calamities on the day of the great disaster?"
"..."
"..."
Lin Fan and the Moon Embrace Sect were actively preparing.
But on this day, they received a message from the Liu Family.
The Liu Family’s head, Liu Wanli, came in person to secretly probe: "Brother Lin."
Liu Wanli cupped his hands, his expression serious: "Our Liu Family seems to have encountered a big problem."
"Oh?"
Lin Fan’s expression tightened: "Please elaborate."
"The Liu Family selling spirit pills in the Northeastern Domain, Brother Lin already knows. I won’t elaborate much. Previously, my son should have mentioned toBrother Lin that someone was targeting the Liu Family."
"There was such a matter."
"Since then, we’ve used all our connections, networks, and means, and finally discovered that the target of the Liu Family is the Inferno Pill Tower!"
"Even now, my son and many core personnel of the Liu Family in the Northeastern Domain are being watched. Currently, their purpose is unclear, but it’s definitely nothing good."
"Only..." Liu Wanli’s expression was difficult.
The Inferno Pill Tower was too powerful. They were no match for them. Now that they were being watched, it was naturally a matter of great concern.
"Originally so!"
Lin Fan realized.
"I know the general reason, and I’m preparing to break the deadlock."
"Brother Liu doesn’t need to worry too much. If everything goes smoothly, this matter can be resolved soon."
"Then, I’m greatly thankful toBrother Lin." Liu Wanli was overjoyed: "Don’t know if the Liu Family can be of anyuse? If there is, please don’t hesitate to order!"
"..."
When leaving the Moon Embrace Sect, Liu Wanli’s heart was filled with myriad emotions.
When had the Moon Embrace Sect been just an existence as insignificant as an ant, easily exterminated?
He truly only paid attention to the Moon Embrace Sect from the beginning of the Hongwu Immortal City Alchemy Conference.
At that time, he actually had some crooked thoughts, wanting to ‘take back’ Xiao Ling’er.
Fortunately, he was always ‘incredibly cautious’ and acted steadily, so he had Liu Xun do the preliminary probing.
Later, they became friends, and multiple ‘investments’ followed.
At that time, the Liu Family’s strength was more than a hundred times greater than the Moon Embrace Sect’s.
To now...
When the Moon Embrace Sect had matters, the Liu Family’s combat power couldn’t help much.
"Strength!"
"Ah!!!"
Liu Wanli suddenly smiled: "For these years, for the sake of the family, I’ve exhausted my mind and spirit, not daring to slack off at all. Finally, the Liu Family has successfully stepped onto the Right Path. Even if I’m not always watching, it won’t be a problem."
"Once this matter is resolved, when that brat comes back, I’ll pass the position of family head to him."
"As long as that brat doesn’t make a mess, nothing big will happen."
"Working diligently for the family for half my life, even my cultivation has been neglected for many years. It’s time to pick it up again, to cultivate with a single-minded heart."
"As the Moon Embrace Sect’s first ‘ally,’ my Liu Family can’t just be left behind until it’s out of sight, right?"
At this moment.
He suddenly felt spirited and vigorous.
As if he had returned to those years.
In the years before becoming the head of the Liu Family, the name of Liu Wanli, the ferocious tiger of the Liu Family, hadn’t also stirred a region?
"I, Liu Wanli, though not a true dragon, am still a ferocious tiger of a region!"
He had such confidence.
A Golden Era, with Heaven’sPride everywhere?
So what?
He, too, could have a place!
...
A month later.
Black Aojiao Awakens.
Her chest was proudly thrust forward, and her reason was as solid as ever. At this moment, she was in her 'Black Aojiao' appearance, but hey, she had changed her outfit.
During her seclusion, she had actually crafted a new pair of 'socks'.
And they were the extremely greasy Over-Knee Socks!
When Lin Fan first laid eyes on her, he couldn't help but think that she had been possessed by some sort of transmigrator.
After all, these 'greasy socks', even in this era, let alone in the 'modern' world, were... tsk tsk tsk.
Seeing that he couldn't take his eyes off her, Black Aojiao became even more haughty. She crossed her arms, her chin almost reaching the sky, and laughed heartily, "How is it? My craftsmanship, isn't it much better than that bastard Lu Ming?"
These damn men~
Humph!
Can't take your eyes off me, huh?
You got that right!
Who am I?
When I was a man, I could charm countless girls.
At this moment, I'm temporarily appearing in a female form, but I still surpass all other women. Let all these damn men fall for me!
The socks I casually designed are so alluring!
If these socks were Spirit Artifacts, I might have already touched them to shreds.
Black Aojiao felt her emotions stir.
He's showing interest in me, and it's that kind of interest between men and women. How outrageous!
Lin Fan's eyelids twitched at her words.
You dare curse at me, the straw man, that's too much! He averted his gaze, not responding, and instead turned to Fen Ningna and Tian'ana, saying, "Have you seen her socks? Take note of the style and texture, and once you reach the Third Realm, go to Fire Virtue Peak to learn Forge Art."
"Then, forge a few pairs for me."
"Yes, Elder."
The two saintesses respectfully acknowledged.
Black Aojiao: "!!!"
Damn it!
You bastard!
He's plagiarizing!
He's plagiarizing me!!!
Just as she was about to explode, she changed her mind.
It's better to focus on my future Dao Companion, Xiao Ling'er... she's quite the looker!
I can't keep her waiting, I'll show him what I'm capable of.
...
Outside the Pill Refinement Pavilion.
The entire mountain range was covered in medicinal fields.
The Spirit Soil was purchased at a high price, or acquired by Lin Fan and others through 'sweeping', with the highest quality portion coming from the Eight Swords Immortal Mansion.
Wang Teng, from the garden, had transformed this Spirit Soil into Spirit Fields, cultivating many valuable Spirit Herbs. However, these herbs didn't require a significant amount of time to grow, and they needed meticulous care.
Therefore, the more precious the Spirit Herbs, the closer they were planted to the Pill Refinement Pavilion.
After all, compared to ordinary Outer Sect disciples or menial disciples, Pill Refinement Masters themselves were the most knowledgeable about Spirit Herbs and the best at cultivation.
Originally, Black Aojiao didn't care about these things. Anyway, her 'future wife' often relied on her, so why would she lack Spirit Herbs to consume? Why bother with these?
As for Lu Ming, that 'scumbag', pfft, she couldn't be bothered to deal with him.
However, even though she hadn't paid much attention before, she had still seen them.
At this moment, seeing them again, she couldn't help but stop in her tracks.
"They've grown so fast!"
She was genuinely surprised.
These precious Spirit Herbs grew at an extremely slow pace, requiring hundreds, or even thousands and tens of thousands of years to truly 'mature'. Even with secret maturation methods, it was still time-consuming, and their growth was incredibly slow.
But now, after just two or three months of her seclusion, these Spirit Herbs seemed to have gone through a hundred years...
How could this be?!
She was taken aback.
She grabbed a busy Outer Sect disciple and asked, "Why have these Spirit Herbs grown so well in just two or three months?"
"That's all thanks to Princess Lilith!" The Outer Sect disciple's face was filled with admiration.
"Princess... Lilith?"
Hearing the word 'princess', Black Aojiao couldn't help but think of her seventh princess. Cough...
I did something to her, but there wasn't any follow-up. Maybe I should go and see, does she need any help now? If she needs...
After all, she's my woman, so helping her out is not a problem.
"That's right, it's Princess Lilith. She's the previously unheard-of princess of the Elven Race. She..." Oh, she's over there."
Black Aojiao followed the sound and took a glance, but after that, she didn't hear what the Outer Sect disciple said.
Her mind was filled with a single thought.
Damn it!
How can someone be so big?!
She couldn't help but look down...
Suddenly, she felt inexplicably annoyed.
Humph! She entered the Pill Refinement Pavilion, passing through the familiar path, and with a wave of Fire Cloud, entered Xiao Ling'er's secret room, and then... she saw Xiao Ling'er and Yimu."
At this moment, Black Aojiao felt her head buzzing, staring at Yimu, her face filled with frustration.
Damn it, how can someone be so big?! Why do I feel like the entire world has undergone earth-shattering changes in just two or three months of my seclusion?"
"You've awakened?" Xiao Ling'er smiled lightly at this moment.
"Speaking of which, there's something I'd like to trouble you, Dragon Girl."
Black Aojiao: "..."
...
Half a month later.
Outside the territory of the Mystic Ice Pill Tower, a group of five people quietly appeared.
Lin Fan, Xiao Ling'er, Ya Ya, Yimu, and Black Aojiao.
At this moment, they avoided all prying eyes and stared at the Mystic Ice Pill Tower with unfriendly expressions.
"The necessary personnel and preparations are all ready," Lin Fan whispered. "Let's begin."
"We'll trouble you all to take this risk with us."
Yimu whispered.
The group activated the Thousand Transformations Technique, transforming into unremarkable Inner Sect disciples of the Mystic Ice Pill Tower.
"Please follow me."
Then, Yimu led the way.
"This Mystic Ice Pill Tower was originally founded by me, and some secret passages should still be there."
