Chapter 1011: Dream Outside True Suchness One

"As for the other disciples of mediocre talent..."

A flicker of reluctance crossed Liu Ruchen's eyes, but he eventually said in a deep voice, "Then let's abolish their cultivation methods and have them cultivate the *Cangsheng Lingyuan Art*!"

Li Fan clapped his hands in satisfaction upon hearing this. "Sect Master Liu's understanding is indeed profound. This also saves me from a difficult situation."

Liu Ruchen gave an awkward, bitter smile.

After receiving the list of all cultivators within the Cauldron, Li Fan reviewed it and decided to awaken the Dao Integration elders first. After all, cultivators below the Dao Integration stage, especially those practicing ancient methods, were not particularly useful at this moment.

Inside the Medicine King Cauldron, six Dao Integration cultivators and twenty-three Spirit Transformation cultivators were in slumber. Among them, Li San, Fang Zaiji, and Jiang Yushan were already very familiar to Li Fan. Naturally, he chose to awaken them first in this era.

"Perhaps the power of pills can be used to resist that invisible murderous intent," Liu Ruchen suddenly said before dissolving the Grand Dream of Spring and Autumn Formation. "However, I haven't experienced it myself, so I'm not entirely certain," Liu Ruchen spoke cautiously.

"It's fine. It's best if it works."

Liu Ruchen retrieved several pills emitting a cold blue light from the Medicine King Cauldron and first fed them to Li San. A moment later, Li San slowly opened his eyes. The first person he saw was the unfamiliar Li Fan.

"Who are you?" Li San's alertness was quite high, and he flickered away. However, when he saw Liu Ruchen, his guard completely dropped. "Master..."

"Have we arrived at the Carefree Realm?" A hint of joy appeared on Li San's face as he instinctively asked.

Liu Ruchen sighed, shook his head, and briefly explained the situation. Li San was naturally shocked, but with Liu Ruchen as his anchor, he quickly composed himself.

Next, Jiang Yushan was awakened. Jiang Yushan's reaction was considerably calmer in comparison. She quickly adapted to the new situation a millennium later. "Sect Master Liu, you can make the decisions," Jiang Yushan said indifferently in her voice, which sounded like metal grating.

"Both of you, cultivate the *Jishi Changsheng Scripture*," Liu Ruchen instructed, looking at the two cultivators before him.

Li San and Jiang Yushan immediately complied. A moment later, both of them frowned simultaneously.

"How do you feel?"

"Indeed, restless murderous intent surfaces occasionally, but it's still controllable. Perhaps it's the effect of the Thoughtless Pill," Li San replied after experiencing it for a moment.

Jiang Yushan, however, said, "The Thoughtless Pill was wasted on me; it's nothing compared to what I encountered in the Realm of No Certainty."

Only then did Liu Ruchen look at Li Fan: "It seems to indeed have the effect of suppressing murderous intent. However, the materials required to refine the Thoughtless Pill are quite precious. The Medicine King Cauldron's inventory might only be enough for a few batches..."

Li Fan waved his hand, "Don't worry about the raw materials. The Myriad Realms Alliance is quite wealthy in that regard."

"Continue. Let's see how many more can be maintained."

Liu Ruchen nodded. Next, Zeng Qianran and Ou Kui, two more Dao Integration cultivators, were successively awakened. By this point, they were finding it extremely difficult to suppress the murderous intent in their hearts.

"It seems this is the limit. Let's leave it at that for now. As for the remaining Fan Zhuo..."

"There's also Elder Fang; his situation is special. He didn't cultivate the *Jishi Changsheng Scripture*, so it's fine to awaken him," Jiang Yushan interjected before Li Fan could finish.

Li San glanced briefly at Jiang Yushan. Li Fan smiled and finally released Fang Zaiji from the Grand Dream of Spring and Autumn Formation.

At this point, the Medicine King Sect's top combat strength was largely assembled. Including Liu Ruchen himself, there were six Dao Integration cultivators. Even practicing ancient methods, they represented a significant force for the current Myriad Realms Alliance. Furthermore, as they specialized in alchemy, their utility might be even greater than ordinary Dao Integration cultivators.

Under Liu Ruchen's guidance, the Medicine King Sect members briefly familiarized themselves with the basic situation of the Spiritwood Realm. All of them were burdened with worries, except for Fang Zaiji. Fang Zaiji was immediately thrilled to learn that cultivators from the Heavenly Secret Realm existed in the Spiritwood Realm and that Liu Ruchen's body was a puppet refined by them. He clamored to meet the Ingenious Craftsman Hermit.

The Ingenious Craftsman, who was diligently researching the Celestial Sun, was initially somewhat unwelcoming towards this unexpected visitor. However, after a brief exchange, the two immediately got along very well. Although Fang Zaiji's artifact refining skills were far inferior to the Ingenious Craftsman's, he had traveled extensively throughout the Xuanhuang world in his youth and possessed extraordinary insights. He could even assist in the research of the Celestial Sun's embodiment of the Dao. The two excitedly sealed the door, preventing outsiders from disturbing them. Li Fan simply let them be.

After discussions among the Medicine King Sect's Dao Integration cultivators, they finally presented Li Fan with a list of thirty individuals.

"These disciples are all exceptionally talented. It would be a pity if they were to cultivate the *Cangsheng Lingyuan Art*. We can keep them in slumber for now and awaken them once a method to suppress the murderous intent is found."

"As for the other disciples..." Liu Ruchen said resolutely, "They are at the envoy's disposal."

Though it seemed cold-blooded, at least their lives would be spared. As for uniting their Dao Integration powers to retaliate... After witnessing the various scenes in the Spiritwood Realm, they decisively suppressed this thought deep within their minds, not daring to reveal even a trace of it.

"Actually, I have another method. Not all these disciples have to become worthless cultivation machines," Li Fan suddenly said, looking at the Medicine King Sect members. "Aren't they currently sleeping within the Grand Dream of Spring and Autumn Formation? If I modify the formation to make the dream scenarios align with reality..."

"They wouldn't necessarily need to awaken but could still perform the required tasks in reality."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruchen said with some uncertainty, "Does the envoy mean..."

"Sleepwalking?"

Li Fan nodded. "Please wait a moment."

Within his Sea of Consciousness, the Terminal Disintegration Disc operated, and the modified Grand Dream of Spring and Autumn Formation instantly materialized. After imparting the formation to Liu Ruchen, the latter's eyes were filled with astonishment. It seemed as if this formation had been deduced right there during their conversation.

"It should be feasible," Liu Ruchen took a deep breath and said slowly.

Shortly after, when the new Grand Dream of Spring and Autumn Formation began operating, Li Fan and his group appeared within the dreams of the Medicine King Sect disciples. The original dreamscapes had entirely vanished, replaced by scenes identical to the real Spiritwood Realm. Liu Ruchen did not tell the disciples that they were still in a dream. He simply recounted the failure to escape the Xuanhuang World and their current allegiance to the Myriad Realms Alliance. Although the disciples were unsettled, they had, after all, preserved their lives. After a brief commotion, they returned to normal. Following Liu Ruchen's instructions, they settled down in the Spiritwood Realm. Concurrently, in reality, their bodies also exhibited synchronized movements.
