Chapter 502: Returning to the Sect, Cooperation with the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty! Immortal Pills!
Chapter 502: Returning to the Sect, Cooperation with the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty! Immortal Pills! (Part 2)
.
The Celestial Mechanism Tower, with its strategic thinking, is likely to be significantly superior.
However, at this moment, he naturally wouldn't directly say something to dampen their morale, so he laughed and said, "In that case, I'll be eagerly awaiting your good news."
"Speaking of which, I have great admiration for Emperor Qin and the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty."
"Especially the first generation of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, the First Emperor..."
Lin Fan sighed.
He thought to himself that in the history of the Blue Star, the Earth he was from, the First Emperor sent Xu Fu to find the elixir of immortality...
If Xu Fu had really found the elixir and brought it back, and the First Emperor consumed it, becoming immortal and living forever, then perhaps the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty would have come into existence?
After all, the existence of the elixir of immortality implies the presence of immortals, and at the very least, there would be a path to cultivation!
If the First Emperor, who had already achieved immortality, were to also obtain the path to cultivation, hmm...
With the Qin Dynasty and immortality so close at hand, how could it not be within reach?
Alas, there are no what-ifs.
After further detailed discussions, Lin Fan and Emperor Qin reached an agreement and decided to collaborate!
The terms of the collaboration were not too different from what was offered by the Celestial Machinery Tower.
The distribution of profits was the same as well.
At the same time, they also requested that they not reveal that the Moon Embrace Sect was a 'trafficker'.
However, the collaboration conditions...
...were slightly more extensive.
One of the conditions was that in the future, if they encountered disciples of the Heaven-Cleaving Sect outside the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, they should, to the best of their abilities...
...teach them a 'harsh' lesson!
Regarding this, Emperor Qin didn't think too much about it and readily agreed.
To him, this wasn't a big deal.
Moreover, he had already submitted his 'pledge of allegiance', and the Heaven-Cleaving Sect would never let it go. Even if they didn't take action in the short term, they wouldn't simply 'forget their grudge'.
Instead, they would most likely 'keep it in mind' and take action when the opportunity arises.
Leaving such a hidden danger would only cause trouble.
It's better to confront them directly.
In the future, they would deal with each encounter as it came, and even if it led to a real battle, at least it would be an open and aboveboard fight, not them hiding in the back and shooting cold arrows.
Furthermore, as long as the Great Qin treasury was filled...
...who would fear the Heaven-Cleaving Sect?
At the same time, both parties signed a 'mutual fate' treaty.
Under the premise that both parties were capable, once either party encountered danger, they must send support at the first opportunity.
Of course, in a situation where death was certain, such as an unstoppable invasion by the Immortal Palace's army, there was no need to resist.
Just wash up and go to sleep.
...
They swore an oath.
They signed the contract.
They began discussing and constructing the ultra-long-distance teleportation array formation, and it took a full two days to barely complete it.
It was really barely completed.
At the very least, the teleportation array was barely functional.
Currently, it could only teleport 'inanimate objects', and the Celestial Machinery and satellites, but it couldn't teleport living beings, and both parties still needed to further improve the array.
However, due to the vast distance, to improve the array to the point of teleporting living beings, or even directly teleporting an entire army...
...was an astronomical number.
Therefore, neither party was thinking of directly teleporting an army.
After that, they would slowly 'patch up' the array, and at a critical moment, being able to teleport a few people over to help would be good enough.
Two days later.
Emperor Qin was leaving.
As he departed, he was in a good mood.
There was even a smile on his lips.
Emm...
The taste of the eight-treasure chicken was truly delicious!
He even ate some dragon meat.
Although it was just a Western dragon, which looked more like a large lizard with wings, it was still quite tasty.
Moreover...
As he left, Emperor Qin was holding a chicken in one hand and a duck in the other...
...and his storage bag at his waist was filled with numerous satellites and Celestial Machinery.
He returned with a full load!
But halfway through his journey, as he passed by some 'passersby' in the sky, their peculiar gazes made Emperor Qin feel a bit embarrassed.
He, the majestic Emperor Qin, wearing dragon robes, how could he be carrying chickens and ducks?
"This..."
Another passerby's peculiar gaze made Emperor Qin's face turn dark.
"I, the majestic Emperor Qin, am holding a chicken in one hand and a duck in the other..."
"How embarrassing and demeaning!"
"Isn't this losing face for the entire Great Qin?"
"Moreover..."
"My Great Qin is vast and has abundant resources, what haven't they eaten? It's just a couple of chickens and ducks, why would they need to bring them back for a taste?"
"Exactly!"
"They don't need it!"
"And for the dignity of my Great Qin, I can only..."
"Eat it all myself!"
He immediately stopped and found a place to pluck the feathers from the eight-treasure chicken and duck, roasting them right away.
The taste was so satisfying that he almost swallowed his tongue.
In the end, he finished every last bite, his hands empty, and he finally felt less embarrassed, no longer attracting strange gazes from passersby.
After that, Emperor Qin was in high spirits the entire journey.
He even hummed a little tune he made up:
"After eating the spicy eight-treasure chicken, even the Emperor is not as good as me..."
"No, I am the Emperor!"
"..."
"..."
"Huh?"
Lin Fan's expression changed, and he quickly removed the hand seals, his face showing a startled expression: "Wow, this 'Heavenly Maiden', is also blessed with fortune, even if she's not the protagonist template, she's still a chosen one!"
On a whim, he wanted to investigate the Heavenly Maiden's identity.
Immediately, he used the Heaven Earth Great Transformation Art.
The result was astonishing.
From the very beginning, he felt an incredible backlash that almost made him vomit blood!
Fortunately, he stopped quickly.
"However, in that instant, I seemed to see a white demonic beast."
"Although it was just a fleeting glance, I can confirm that I've never seen it before."
"And I can sense that she doesn't have any 'evil aura', and is quite normal."
"Emmm..."
"She can be accepted."
Lin Fan smiled.
Then, he transmitted a message to Wang Teng: "If the Heavenly Maiden continues to bother you, think of a way to subtly convey that the secret method is not to be shared outside, unless... they are one of us."
"Wang Teng was taken aback for a moment before understanding.
'Yes, Master,' he replied.
'But I'm not sure if you want to take on disciples personally or...'
'You should ask her yourself,' Lin Fan said with a smile. 'If she's willing to accept you as her master, that's fine too.'
After all, as long as they're my disciples, we can share combat power and talents, so why does it matter who the disciple is?
Moreover...
If she agrees to take me as her master, I'll be able to share her abilities. By then, determining her identity and race won't be difficult."
"..."
"Then, let's start with pill concocting."
After dealing with the trivial matters, Lin Fan took a deep breath.
To be honest, this trip to the Gourd World had slightly exceeded his expectations.
That damn Heaven-Cleaving Sect was too direct in their actions.
If not for Fan Zhenqiang's exceptional ability to adapt, he might have had to use the Barrett to send two of his clones to deal with Emperor Qin.
But even his clones couldn't stop a Fourteenth or Fifteenth Realm existence!
At most, they could buy some time for them, allowing them to retreat back into the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty's territory and deter these two from taking direct action.
Even so, the aftermath would still be troublesome.
It was just good luck.
But...
It seemed like it wasn't just luck? After all, who is Fan Zhenqiang? I sent him because he's reliable!
So...
No problem.
Lin Fan chuckled inwardly, and with that thought, he no longer felt guilty.
Although it was somewhat unexpected, his actions were still quite reliable, weren't they? 'But when it comes to concocting pills, we can't just start casually.'
'The materials are hard to find.'
'We need to practice more first.'
'...'
'Speaking of which, I wonder if the Wood Elf race can cultivate immortal pills?'
'If they can, their value would be astonishing.'
'Also, I'm not sure if the 'skill-type' items in the Su Yan Shopping Mall can be specifically gifted to others. If they can~~~'
'It would be amazing to directly purchase pill concocting experience!'
Lin Fan was tempted.
He immediately wanted to ask Su Yan about it.
But upon second thought, he decided against it.
The timing wasn't right! And that item was too expensive; buying those two immortal pills would almost deplete his entire fortune!
'Sigh, earning money fast, but spending it even faster.'
'This is why the Moon Embrace Sect has its own unique business. How could a regular sect afford it?'
He sighed, forgetting that regular sects wouldn't have members who were all 'bottomless pits' like the Moon Embrace Sect.
Of course.
If Lin Fan really wanted to buy it, he could probably afford it if he gritted.
But he thought of a problem.
Xiao Ling'er wasn't there~!
If Xiao Ling'er were here and could transfer skills and experiences to others, he could directly buy one and gift it to her.
In that case...
Xiao Ling'er would learn it, and so would he.
It would be like buying one experience and getting two.
Buy one, get one free, and freeload one, how cool would that be?
But if he used it himself, there'd be no 'free gift.'
Not cost-effective!
It's not that he couldn't afford to buy it directly, but freeloading has better value!
..."
"So, let's start with a simulation."
'With my current shared divine soul strength, insight, and talent, there shouldn't be any major issues.'
Lin Fan took a deep breath and began to 'operate.'
He simply closed his eyes, and soon entered a 'sudden realization' state!
A state that ordinary cultivators dream of entering, one they might not experience more than a few times in their entire lives, and each time for a very short duration. But for Lin Fan...
It was ordinary, unremarkable.
As long as he wanted to.
As long as he prepared to 'realize' something, that sudden realization state was within easy reach.
Whenever he wanted to enter, he could.
There was no hindrance at all.
It was effortless.
Just like this moment.
In the sudden realization state, he 'wandered' and soon began to 'concoct pills'!
Not in reality, but in his spiritual world, he was refining the 'Life-Defying Pill'!
'Simulating'!
He imagined!
He imagined the entire pill concocting process and every detail.
Failed? No problem, try again!
Time after time, from nothing to something, after countless failures, gradually growing...
Finally.
Lin Fan opened his eyes, and for a moment, his gaze seemed to contain a sense of the vicissitudes of life.
'Wow!'
He was secretly amazed. 'Did I really feel like so much time had passed?'
'Sudden realization is indeed terrifying!'
In reality, only less than ten days had passed.
But in his spiritual world, he felt as if many years had gone by.
He refined immortal pills one after another, and each time, he failed.
Until 'recently,' he gradually succeeded.
After succeeding, he summarized the experience, quickly improved, and by the time he exited the sudden realization state, he had basically achieved a ten percent success rate.
This was terrifying! But Lin Fan didn't become complacent because of this.
After all, it was just a 'mental simulation,' not reality.
The simulation might reach ten percent, but reality might not.
The actual degree of success would still depend on his performance and...
Whether there would be any unexpected occurrences.
After all, in his spiritual world, the simulation was in a near-perfect state.
But in reality, it might not be.
Moreover, during the simulation, the control over medicinal properties might not be as precise.
So...
He couldn't be careless!
He took a deep breath, and nine types of unusual fire emerged, forming an alchemy cauldron.
'Begin!'"
At this moment, he was fully focused, without a hint of carelessness.
He couldn't afford to be careless, as the materials were hard to find and expensive. He couldn't afford to waste them.
"Details..."
"Follow the previous mental simulation and replication."
"It's time to add the Life-Saving Grass."
"Simmer on low heat, then reduce the sauce on high..."
"Pfft, this sounds like I'm making braised pork."
"But the process is indeed like this."
He muttered to himself, but his hands didn't stop moving. Although this was his first time truly attempting to refine an Immortal Pill, he had simulated it countless times during his epiphany, leaving him with no sense of unfamiliarity.
From start to finish, his movements were as smooth as flowing water.
And he was extremely lucky, encountering no unexpected problems.
When the pill finally formed, he encountered some 'obstacles', different from what he had envisioned during his mental simulations, but the difference wasn't too significant. After a series of impromptu adjustments, he successfully refined it!—
A Death-Defying Pill.
It wasn't an ordinary pill.
Immortal Pills were extraordinary, requiring at least one Immortal Herb or an Immortal Medicine to refine. Naturally, it couldn't be like ordinary pills, where one batch produced several or even dozens of pills.
However, the value was evident.
In terms of value, even a thousand or ten thousand batches of ordinary pills couldn't compare to a single Immortal Pill.
"Phew!"
"Success!"
"After all this time, I've finally succeeded."
He held the Immortal Pill, examining it carefully.
The Death-Defying Pill was blood-red all over, looking quite eerie at first glance. It didn't resemble a life-prolonging pill but rather gave off the impression of a 'poison' or a Demon Core.
But that was the nature of the Death-Defying Pill!
It was inherently eerie.
The blood-red color was due to the addition of Dragon Blood Grass.
And because of its eerie nature, it had such astonishing effects, capable of snatching life from the hands of the King of Hell!
After carefully storing it away, Lin Fan hurriedly went to find Duan Cangqiong.
Duan Cangqiong was in a relaxed mood.
After all, he didn't have much time left, and with the remaining days, he didn't need to worry about anything. He lived freely, letting his heart guide his actions and his body follow his desires.
However, during these days, he had somehow ended up hanging out with He Qiang.
Becoming a proud...Air Force member.
"Sigh."
He Qiang shook his head, "Old Duan, that's not right."
"You shouldn't fish like that."
"Your bait is also problematic."
"And if you want to catch big fish, you need to bait the spot!"
"Look at me~"
"My bait and my baited spot are both excellent, right?"
Duan Cangqiong nodded like a schoolboy, "Yes, yes, yes, you're right, but where are the fish you caught?"
He Qiang immediately lost his words, "!!!"
Damn.
His fishing skills were fierce, but when he checked his catch...
Nothing.
Pretend I didn't say anything.
He clenched his teeth and remained silent.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Lin Fan quietly observing them from the side, and he quickly stood up, "Master."
Lin Fan: "..."
Damn!
Only two people!
With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he realized there weren't any fish in this stream. No wonder they were Air Force members!
Perhaps...
This was what they called Jiang Taigong fishing, and those who wanted to bite would take the bait? Or maybe...
They weren't fishing for fish but for loneliness?
However, on second thought, He Qiang was using the Multiverse Fishing System, and he only needed water, not fish. But Old Duan, why were you joining in the fun?
He couldn't help but chuckle.
He walked forward and said, "Old Duan, I mentioned before that I would refine a batch of pills for you."
"Now, it's done."
"Unfortunately, there's only one pill."
"Oh?"
"You're too kind, young friend," Duan Cangqiong chuckled, and when he noticed Lin Fan's slightly haggard expression, he felt a bit embarrassed, and his face showed a hint of apology.
"One pill is already precious. Refining pills is difficult!"
"That's why there are so few pill refiners."
How embarrassing!
This young friend, an Eleventh Realm cultivator, had probably endured much hardship and exerted great effort to refine a pill for someone at the Fifteenth Realm.
But the gap in cultivation was just too vast.
What kind of pill could an Eleventh Realm junior refine?
It probably wasn't a good pill.
Being able to refine a pill suitable for the Twelfth Realm was already impressive.
A pill for the Thirteenth Realm? That would be a dragon among men, an exceptional performance.
So...
He needed to remain calm and not show the slightest hint of dissatisfaction, lest he hurt the young friend's feelings. Yes, that's right.
In that instant, Duan Cangqiong had prepared himself mentally.
He believed he wouldn't make a mistake.
"Nonsense, senior."
"By solving such a difficult problem for our sect and supporting us, if I, as the sect leader, don't show some sincerity, wouldn't I be too ungrateful?"
"So, please, don't delay and accept this pill."
Lin Fan took out a jade vase and handed it to Duan Cangqiong.
Duan Cangqiong felt like laughing.
It was just an ordinary pill, and delaying...
What was there to delay? Although accepting an ordinary pill was a favor, and he might be at a 'disadvantage', in his current state, he had already reached a state of freedom, where he didn't pay attention to gains and losses.
But you have to admit.
It was indeed a good vase!
It was perfect.
It looked exquisite, and at first glance, you could tell it was a top-quality gift.
Hmm~
It must have taken a lot of thought.
As long as it wasn't a Nose Poo Pill, he had to accept it.
He took the jade vase, "Then I won't be impolite."
After saying this, he was about to put it into his Storage Bag.
First, it wasn't a good habit to open a gift in front of the giver.
Second...
It was just an ordinary pill, so why bother? Not opening it would also save the giver some face.
But at this moment, Lin Fan spoke up, "Old Duan, I suggest you take the pill as soon as possible."
