Chapter 1012: Re-harvesting the Tianxuan Mirror

To prevent inconsistencies between the dream world and reality, Li Fan specifically sectioned off a piece of land in the Spiritwood Realm to serve as a dwelling for the disciples of the Medicine King Sect.

Isolated by formations, they were ensured no accidental disturbances.

"There's still a slight difference between the dream world and reality. So, they can't handle very delicate tasks. But if it's just manual labor, like providing Everlasting Verdant Energy, there shouldn't be a problem," Liu Ruchen remarked after observing for a while.

"Adding an appropriate amount of Everlasting Verdant Energy to any elixir significantly increases the chance of successful alchemy and improves its quality. Therefore, the more Everlasting Verdant Energy, the better." Liu San's eyes showed a hint of reluctance as he looked at the Medicine King Sect disciples in the dream, who had survived the calamity and whose faces were filled with hope for the future.

However, he also knew this was the best treatment they could secure for them at the moment, so he merely echoed Liu Ruchen's words.

Li Fan, who could perceive people's thoughts, clearly sensed the inner feelings of the present Medicine King Sect Harmonizers.

It's natural for people to empathize with their kind. Li Fan didn't press them excessively but instead reassured them, "This is merely a temporary measure! Rest assured, we certainly won't let these disciples remain submerged in the dream for too long."

No one knew whether they truly believed him or not, but they all praised Li Fan's benevolence repeatedly.

"In ancient cultivation sects, elders almost always climbed up from the lowest ranks, gaining rich experience in struggles," Li Fan responded with a smile, but his heart was not swayed by the superficial appearances these individuals displayed.

"But it's not a major issue. They've all bowed before the Faceless True Immortal statue; they're all in the same boat now."

The issues with the elders and lower-ranking disciples had been resolved. Next, arrangements needed to be made for the thirty elite disciples on the list.

Including Liu Yihang, Liu Ruchen's adopted son, all thirty individuals were the cream of the crop among the younger generation of Medicine King Sect disciples.

Even by Li Fan's current standards, their talent could be described as impressive.

This was a time when capable people were needed, and it would be a shame if they remained asleep indefinitely.

So, Li Fan reconnected with Mo Rubin and requested one hundred different cultivation techniques from him.

Although cultivation techniques were among the most precious resources in the Xuanhuang Realm, the Transmitters, who already stood at the pinnacle of power, naturally had no shortage of them.

Li Fan briefly recounted to Mo Rubin how he had found the Medicine King Cauldron.

While Mo Rubin was somewhat surprised by Li Fan's good fortune, he didn't pay it much mind.

After handing over one hundred Soul Transformation level cultivation techniques to Li Fan, he cautioned, "You can amuse yourself, but don't delay the main business. I've already secured the support of most Transmitters, and Cang has also made the necessary preparations."

"The resolution for the Xuan Tian Spirit Sealing will be formally passed soon, Brother Xingwang, you must prepare in advance."

Li Fan, sensing the progress of the Final Disintegration Disk's deduction in his sea of consciousness, waved his hand and said, "Rest assured, I'll handle things; nothing will go wrong!"

"Hmm... I'll go find the Heavenly Mystic Mirror again later. After all, its freedom is at stake, and it can't just be a hands-off manager," Li Fan mumbled, then quickly took his leave.

Mo Rubin watched Li Fan's disappearing back and sighed.

Leaving the Concealed Grotto-Heaven, Li Fan went directly to Weidu in Flowing Light Province, where the Heavenly Mystic Mirror clone resided.

Having not seen him for some time, he had already changed his identity.

He was no longer a waiter but had become the innkeeper.

He was cheerfully greeting the guests in the inn.

All sights instantly froze, and the Heavenly Mystic Mirror clone immediately wiped the smile from his face.

"I'm here to report on the plan's progress," Li Fan stated his purpose first.

He then relayed Mo Rubin's words.

"Just say what's on your mind. You wouldn't come all this way just for such a small matter," the Heavenly Mystic Mirror clone said lazily.

"You truly know me, Heavenly Mystic," Li Fan praised, giving a thumbs-up.

"It shouldn't be a problem for us to collaborate externally and stage a grand 'stealing beams and pillars' act before the Myriad Immortals Alliance. However, I still have a few concerns."

Li Fan said seriously, "First, if the Transmitting Dharma restriction is broken, will the Transmitting Dharma Venerable himself sense it?"

"If he detects the anomaly occurring in the Xuanhuang Realm and instantly returns..."

"I'm afraid all our hard-won schemes will instantly go to waste!"

The Heavenly Mystic Mirror clone remained silent.

Li Fan continued, "Second, if everything goes smoothly and the Transmitting Dharma Venerable isn't alarmed, and you regain your freedom, where do you intend to go next? Will you leave the Xuanhuang Realm, or..."

Li Fan stopped speaking, looking at the other party, waiting for an answer.

"Regarding the first point, rest assured. Even if I leave, I will leave a secondary body as a disguise. In terms of handling matters, this secondary body is no less capable than my main body. Moreover, it has backups of almost all my main body's data..."

"There will be no anomalies," the Heavenly Mystic Mirror clone said flatly.

"As for the second point..."

"I haven't thought about it yet," the Heavenly Mystic Mirror clone admitted frankly.

"Perhaps I've been trapped for so long that even upon regaining freedom, I don't immediately know where to go. But it doesn't matter; I have plenty of time to pursue what I desire."

It was only at this moment that a hint of the vicissitudes of life, befitting his identity, appeared in the Heavenly Mystic Mirror clone's eyes.

"If you're truly lost and can't find a destination, you could journey with us," Li Fan suggested with a smile.

"Although the Xuanhuang Realm is vast, it's still too tiny compared to the endless sea of stars. Who wouldn't want to step out of this starry sky and see what lies further beyond?"

Perhaps Li Fan's words resonated with the Heavenly Mystic Mirror clone, as he instinctively raised his head and gazed at the sky.

His eyes were unfocused, seemingly lost in some memory.

Silence fell between the two, lasting for a long time.

Finally, Li Fan broke the silence: "By the way, what exactly is this 'secondary body' you mentioned?"

"It can actually give birth to an entity whose functions are no weaker than your main body..."

"Is it perhaps like how we humans procreate?"

Li Fan asked, somewhat curious.

The Heavenly Mystic Mirror clone glanced at Li Fan and shook his head slightly.

After pondering for a moment, he explained, "If you insist on that analogy, it's not entirely wrong."

"You human cultivators continuously accumulate cultivation over time. It's the same for me. But unlike cultivators, the power that constitutes my main body is too pure to accommodate redundant parts. So, from time to time, I need to expel these redundant parts from within myself."

"This is how secondary bodies come into existence."

As the Heavenly Mystic Mirror clone spoke, a white jade measuring ruler inexplicably appeared in his hand.

"For example, this Sky-Measuring Shuttle is formed from my excess ability to measure the heavens and the earth."

Li Fan looked towards the Sky-Measuring Shuttle, only to see numerous images flickering indistinctly upon it.
