Chapter 502: Returning to the Sect, Cooperation with the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty! Immortal Pills! (Part 1)
December 7th, 2024
A Fourteenth Stage and a Fifteenth Stage...
Both were powerful figures from the Heaven Cleaving Sect, but at this moment, they were consecutively killed.
In the end, they couldn't even manage a fart.
This terrifying scene caused the Heavenly Maiden to gasp in shock: "Hiss!"
"This is a bit much..."
The middle-aged beautiful woman appeared beside her, her face filled with vigilance: "The strength of the military formation lies in its unity. Although individual soldiers may not be strong, when they join forces and attack in numbers, they become terrifyingly powerful!"
"Moreover, these soldiers are all elite, with many Fourteenth Stage leaders among them. Emperor Qin had intended to kill them from the start and never planned to let them live!"
"Such an elite army is rarely seen even in the entire Great Qin."
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Maiden was surprised and immediately looked at He Anxia and Wang Teng: "You two... who is the secret child of Emperor Qin?"
Wang Teng and He Anxia: "(O_O)???"
That one sentence left them completely dumbfounded.
But...
They exchanged a glance, and indeed, they couldn't help but suspect each other's identity.
After all, this didn't make sense!
Everyone knows that rules exist, but they have never been able to restrain those with true power and connections.
What did they have to do with Emperor Qin? Would he go to such lengths for them? Just because of the rules?
Only a three-year-old child would believe such a story.
I, for one, don't believe it.
No one would believe it, no matter who it was!
"What are you looking at me for?"
Wang Teng couldn't help but laugh: "You've met my father!"
He Anxia: "..."
"My father died early..."
Emperor Qin heard their words and couldn't help but shake his head in exasperation.
With a wave of his hand, the army quickly cleaned up the battlefield, restoring everything to its original state, and then retreated like a receding tide.
They came swiftly and left even faster.
In the blink of an eye, only five people remained at the scene: Wang Teng, He Anxia, the Heavenly Maiden, and... Fan Jian Gang, who had just emerged.
Oh, and Emperor Qin, of course.
"!"
Slap! Wang Teng patted his thigh: "I know it's not us two who have a connection with Emperor Qin, it must be Second Senior Brother's doing!"
"If it's Second Senior Brother, everything makes sense."
He Anxia understood.
They didn't know how Fan Jian Gang had managed this, or how he could accomplish such a feat, even causing Emperor Qin to go to war with the Heaven Cleaving Sect to save them and kill their attackers.
But...
When Fan Jian Gang takes action, who needs to say more?
In any case, believe in him!
"Where, where?"
Fan Jian Gang smiled: "What does this have to do with me?"
"I received your message and learned that someone was trying to assassinate you. I was so worried that I wanted to bid farewell to His Majesty Emperor Qin and come to your aid. But when His Majesty learned of this, he immediately decided to send people to help..."
"We should all be grateful to His Majesty Emperor Qin."
This little guy...
Looking at the three of them expressing their gratitude, Emperor Qin slowly raised the corners of his lips.
Such a cunning little guy.
With just a few words, he had managed to push everything away, as if His Majesty had nothing better to do than pick a fight with the Heaven Cleaving Sect...
But...
Emperor Qin didn't mind these details.
As long as the cooperation was successful and the urgent problem of the empty national treasury was solved, these things didn't matter.
"Rules are rules!"
"This Talented Youth Gathering was personally established by me. Led by the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, the Heaven Cleaving Sect not only broke the rules but also disrespected my Great Qin!"
"How could I let them have their way?"
"Killing them is justified!"
He waved his wide sleeves, his words filled with righteousness.
Emmm...
It seemed there was nothing wrong with that.
Yes, this...
Someone died for no reason.
"In any case, we should still thank Your Majesty."
Fan Jian Gang quickly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this place is not suitable for talking. Why don't we walk and chat as we go?"
"That's a good idea."
Emperor Qin then looked at Wang Teng and He Anxia: "You two juniors have indeed impressed me."
"You're not bad either."
He also gave the Heavenly Maiden an approving look.
The three of them felt a bit embarrassed.
The middle-aged beautiful woman flashed in front of the Heavenly Maiden, her expression slightly unnatural.
Although the current Emperor Qin's strength might not be top-notch, his methods and demeanor were truly terrifying.
Although there was no grudge between the two parties, who could predict what might happen?
What if he was unpredictable...
"There's no need to be nervous."
However, Emperor Qin smiled indifferently, seeing through her vigilance and caution: "Your tribe is indeed quite attractive, but it's not enough to make me lose control."
"Never mind, let's go."
He shook his head.
Fan Jian Gang quickly stepped forward to lead the way.
He Anxia looked at the Heavenly Maiden: "You..."
"I'll go with you!" The Heavenly Maiden didn't hesitate at all.
The middle-aged beautiful woman was stunned: "Miss, you..."
"It's fine."
"I trust them!"
The Heavenly Maiden shook her head. "Besides, think about it, who could be a bad person if they specialize in researching invincible defensive techniques?"
The middle-aged beautiful woman's head was filled with black lines.
Your thoughts are a bit too far-fetched, aren't they?
But at that moment, the Heavenly Maiden winked at her and transmitted her voice: "Have you forgotten who I am?"
"..."
Upon hearing these words, the beautiful woman paused.
Then she nodded: "Alright, let's do it."
"But my identity is special, so it's better if I enter the tower."
"I'll listen to your suggestion."
The Heavenly Maiden smiled brightly.
She put the middle-aged beautiful woman back into the Demon Tower, shrunk it to the size of a pendant, and hung it on her chest. Then, with a bright smile, she said: "Shall we go?"
"..."
"I can take you there, but if my master doesn't agree to teach you, I can't help you."
"After experiencing life and death, Wang Teng naturally couldn't refuse others outright.
However, he couldn't make decisions for his master, so he could only explain everything clearly to avoid any dissatisfaction from her later on.
It's better to be honest and not deceive others, rather than face their enmity later.
'Mmm-hmm, of course!'
The Heavenly Maiden nodded repeatedly, "I understand this reasoning, rest assured."
"Let's go then."
Wang Teng nodded, relieved.
As for whether bringing her back would cause any trouble, or if the 15th Stage expert she carries with her would cause any issues... Wang Teng wasn't sure.
But he was 'very capable'!
He had long passed the age of feeling like an emperor, destined to be invincible.
In other words, he had begun to accept his 'ordinariness'.
Hmm...
What was that saying?
Accepting ordinariness, yet unwilling to accept defeat.
If he couldn't understand something, wasn't that a normal thing?
No big deal!
If he didn't understand, others could figure it out, right?
For example, our second senior brother...
He had never seen anyone more cautious than him!
At this moment, he was also here, knowing that he was bringing the Heavenly Maiden back to the Moon Embrace Sect...
But since he didn't say anything, it meant there was no problem!
Even if this Heavenly Maiden sensed something strange about this place, his second senior brother would definitely be able to handle it.
He had already taken everything into account.
In that case...
Why was he still worrying about this? Let's go, let's go!
...
"Interesting."
Lin Fan put away the telepathic charm and stroked his chin, deep in thought.
"She's indeed a Heavenly Maiden of the Qin."
"Moreover, Fan Jian Gang didn't disappoint me. He not only completed both tasks perfectly but also brought the Emperor Qin with him."
"The Heaven Splitting Sect..."
"Currently, they probably don't have the time to argue with us. If they really want to cause trouble, the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty can give them a good scolding."
"So, the next step is to establish a good cooperative relationship with the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty."
"If we can successfully cooperate with them..."
"There will be many benefits."
Although the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty is a 'local power', these powers often have their own 'external forces'.
These could be merchant guilds or other small forces operating under different names.
Lin Fan wasn't sure if the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty had its own 'royal merchant guild'.
But even if they didn't, it could still be established, right?
It's not a big deal.
As long as one's mindset doesn't falter, solutions are always more abundant than difficulties.
"It's this Heavenly Maiden."
"Wanting to learn the invincible techniques of the Elemental Master System..."
"But this technique, shouldn't be easily taught."
"Tsk tsk."
While the technique shouldn't be easily taught, it wasn't impossible to teach it.
Whether to teach it or not would depend on her 'performance'.
Right?
...
Half a month later.
Fan Jian Gang led the way as they entered the Moon Embrace Sect.
As outsiders, the Emperor Qin and the Heavenly Maiden understood etiquette and didn't scan the entire Moon Embrace Sect with their divine sense; they only looked around with their eyes.
The Emperor Qin glanced around and nodded with a smile, "Not bad."
"The immortal energy is dense, the layout is reasonable, and the scenery is beautiful. Although it's not a Cave Heaven, it's still a rare cultivation site."
"It's just that..."
The Heavenly Maiden frowned slightly, "This place..."
Everyone looked at her, and she hesitated for a moment before saying, "It seems strange."
Fan Jian Gang quickly asked, "How is it strange?"
She pondered, "How to say... It's like..."
"Cause and effect."
"Yes!"
"This place gathers an astonishing amount of cause and effect, so immense it's hard to imagine!"
"But if you ask me, I can't explain it clearly either."
"It's like... it gives me a feeling that it's related to the survival of the entire Immortal World?"
Fan Jian Gang was startled.
Damn!
Are her eyes that sharp?
She even noticed this?
The survival of the entire Immortal World? I didn't know that she was such a person. Even if she knew about the Flame Emperor, Martial Ancestor, and the Sage Emperor, it's understandable.
She even knew about the Star Transformation's great figures, including the Unofficial King and the First Emperor. Not to mention the Chaos Heavens Emperor, who is also from the Moon Embrace Sect.
This place is also the suspected location of the Fangcun Mountain's Triple Star Cave.
My master even has a monkey disciple!
Therefore, how could the Moon Embrace Sect not gather such immense cause and effect?
As for the survival of the Immortal World...
I didn't know about the Chaos Heavens Emperor's experiences!
There's also the monkey disciple...
These are all causes and effects that can change the world's situation and are related to survival.
But how did she know about this? Fan Jian Gang couldn't understand.
However, it didn't stop him from quickly changing the topic, "Ahaha, you're so funny. Our Moon Embrace Sect is just an ordinary sect in the Three Thousand Worlds. How could it be related to the survival of the Immortal World or immense cause and effect?"
"It must be a mistake in your perception. Don't worry about it, don't worry."
"Oh, my master already knows we're here. Look, that's my master's attendant."
Fan Jian Gang raised his hand.
Everyone saw Fu Ningna and Diana coming to greet them from the Moon Embrace Palace.
"Your Majesty the Emperor Qin, Heavenly Maiden, our master has been waiting for a long time. Please follow us."
"..."
"Perhaps, it really was a mistake in my perception?"
The Heavenly Maiden spoke lightly, hoping she was indeed mistaken.
But...
She had never been wrong in her perceptions throughout her life.
"I hope this time is also a mistake."
"I'll take care of it," she whispered to herself.
"Please!"
Emperor Qin smiled indifferently, unperturbed by the Heavenly Maiden's startling words. While her statement was impressive, it wasn't enough to frighten him, a mere young girl.
Besides, even if such unimaginable consequences were to unfold here, what difference would it make? Engaging in this vortex might not necessarily be a bad thing.
Whether it turns out to be good or bad, beneficial or detrimental, would depend on the subsequent developments.
However, he certainly wouldn't be scared to the point of avoiding contact altogether.
...
"Your Majesty, Emperor Qin, it's an honor to meet you!" Lin Fan personally greeted him at the entrance of the Moon Embrace Palace.
Emperor Qin smiled and nodded, "Greetings, Master Lin. It's even more impressive to meet you in person!"
A mutual exchange of compliments ensued.
Then, Lin Fan turned to the Heavenly Maiden, "Thank you, Miss Heavenly Maiden, for your righteous assistance. This time, you'll stay longer in our sect, allowing us to fulfill our duties as hosts and express our gratitude."
"Yes, yes, of course!" The Heavenly Maiden smiled and nodded, "As for helping, it's only right to lend a hand when seeing injustice!"
"If you truly want to express gratitude, let's discuss this further, shall we?"
Wang Teng was instantly overwhelmed.
This Heavenly Maiden...
She must be a bit simple-minded, right? No one is as direct as you!
"Haha, you're indeed straightforward, Miss. But secrets shouldn't be spread lightly. I know too little about you."
"How about this, Miss. Stay in our sect for a while, and after we get to know each other better, we can discuss this matter further. What do you say?"
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Maiden tilted her head in thought, then nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you suggest."
Lin Fan immediately smiled and made arrangements, "Wang Teng, He Anxia, please take Miss Heavenly Maiden for a tour, while I discuss matters with Emperor Qin..."
Fortunately, although the Heavenly Maiden seemed to have a loose screw in her head, she wasn't truly foolish.
She understood that Lin Fan and Emperor Qin had matters to discuss, so she happily followed Wang Teng and He Anxia, leaving the room.
Soon, only five people remained in the Moon Embrace Palace.
Fan Jian Gang acted as the intermediary.
Lin Fan and Emperor Qin led the discussion.
Fu Zhenqiang and Wang Qiannu were in charge of hospitality.
With Fan Jian Gang's introduction, both sides quickly got down to business.
"The Celestial Mechanism business, if Emperor Qin is willing to cooperate, we would certainly welcome it," Lin Fan expressed his openness.
Emperor Qin nodded slightly, "Regarding the Celestial Mechanism business, I am indeed very interested in it, and I believe the Great Qin Empire shares this interest. However, we are also aware of the challenges..."
"The need for satellites and signals is crucial."
"Currently, the Great Qin Empire, and even the Gourd World, mostly lack signal coverage. Even if we were to obtain the Celestial Mechanism..."
"You need not worry about this, Emperor Qin."
Lin Fan smiled, "Satellites are something we can produce."
"The Celestial Mechanism business has been expanding, and if our cooperation succeeds, it will merely accelerate its expansion into the Gourd World."
Launching satellites with rockets? That's too inefficient and troublesome!
It's simpler to have cultivators carry them into the sky and place them in designated positions.
Moreover, since the Three Thousand Worlds don't rotate, the satellites won't require any propulsion; they just need to float in place.
Therefore, Lin Fan genuinely didn't see any issues regarding signals.
Previously, the Moon Embrace Sect and the Celestial Mechanism Tower faced challenges due to a lack of manpower, focusing on elite operations. But the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom lacking people? That's ridiculous!
"It's just that..."
Lin Fan paused, "The Celestial Mechanism business is a significant and long-term venture, with many related opportunities to follow."
"While it's not impossible for Emperor Qin to have come from afar just for the internal Celestial Mechanism business within the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom, it ultimately feels..."
"...a bit small-minded."
Emperor Qin nodded, "You speak wisely!"
Lin Fan's words resonated deeply with Emperor Qin.
Bringing the Celestial Mechanism to the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom with limited manpower would be a significant achievement, but for the national treasury, it would only provide temporary relief, like a drop in the ocean.
Moreover, such a lucrative business should not be confined to the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom.
Isn't he afraid of divine retribution?
"However, I would never be so narrow-minded. The Great Qin Immortal Kingdom's capabilities and connections are perhaps unknown to you, Master Lin, but I can assure you..."
"If we can cooperate and solve the signal issue, I..."
"...will be able to quickly match, if not surpass, the Celestial Mechanism Tower!"
On his journey here, Emperor Qin naturally inquired about this matter with Fan Jian Gang.
After all, publicly, the Celestial Mechanism Tower is known to be selling the Celestial Mechanism on behalf of a mysterious expert, what does this have to do with the Moon Embrace Sect? Fan Jian Gang didn't provide a complete explanation.
The truth is, that expert is very highly regarded!
And the Moon Embrace Sect is the direct source of the Celestial Mechanism.
The Celestial Mechanism Tower is merely a middleman.
The Moon Embrace Sect prefers to maintain a low profile, hence the secrecy.
Regarding this, Emperor Qin expressed his understanding.
At the same time, to enrich the national treasury, they must compete.
But how?
As middlemen...
Naturally, they must compete for superiority!
It's not boasting; he genuinely believes the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom can outperform the Celestial Mechanism Tower.
After all, the Celestial Mechanism Tower, despite its many branches, is just that.
It's a mediocre organization at best.
But the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom, as a whole, is a moderately strong force among the Three Thousand Worlds.
One is above average, the other below, a clear disparity.
Why shouldn't they surpass the Celestial Mechanism Tower? Even with their first-mover advantage, it's not an issue.
Emperor Qin's confidence was met with silence from Lin Fan.
Some things are hard to say.
But he felt...
While the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom might excel in other areas, when it comes to business, well..
