Chapter 1014: Lingmu Intimidates the Medicine King

“The more extraordinary Xuan Tianwang was, the more terrifying his mysterious disappearance became.”

“Mo Rubin's plan to find Xuan Tianwang in this lifetime should succeed...”

“I hope he is merely severely injured and in hiding, rather than having truly fallen and reincarnated as I suspect.” Li Fan's thoughts surged.

Having gathered the two immortal-grade formations, Xuanji, Myriad Souls Return to One, and Huangluo, Empty Room Blooming Flowers, and analyzing them with the Ultimate Disintegration Disc, Li Fan vaguely surmised the potential purpose of this complete set of formations.

“Creating worlds...”

“Whether it's recreating worlds from memory or entirely new ones, there's no doubt this immortal-grade grand formation can achieve it.”

Unfortunately, such a realm was too far for Li Fan; for now, he could only glimpse bits of it through the Disintegration Disc's deductions.

With the formations fully analyzed, Li Fan no longer needed to dedicate his entire focus. He only had to assign a wisp of his consciousness to monitor the Disintegration Disc's operation.

Li Fan then summoned Liu Ruchen and others from the Medicine King Sect.

“After much thought recently, I still believe it's a great pity that Liu Yihang and the others remain dormant. This is precisely a time when we need skilled individuals, and given your Medicine King Sect's recent performance...”

“Considering everything, I've decided to have them cultivate new methods and restore their combat strength as quickly as possible.”

As he spoke, Li Fan led Liu Ruchen and the others into a building within the Spirit Wood Realm.

Stepping inside, they saw bookshelves stretching as far as the eye could see.

The shelves were filled with jade slips.

Li Fan casually conjured thirty slips and handed them to Liu Ruchen.

“Are these all Divine Transformation stage cultivation methods?” Liu Ruchen exclaimed with delight after a quick glance.

Not to mention the current cultivation world where different cultivation methods cannot be practiced concurrently. Even during the peak of the ancient cultivation world, producing thirty Divine Transformation cultivation methods at once would be considered an immense display of wealth and power.

The Medicine King Sect members repeatedly thanked the Emissary, then, as if by prior agreement, secretly glanced towards the endless sea of books behind Li Fan.

Only Li Fan knew that this seemingly vast and boundless Scripture Depository actually contained only about a hundred cultivation methods recently acquired from Mo Rubin, and over fifty ownerless methods Li Fan had collected in past reincarnations.

As for the rest, they were merely illusions created by Li Fan using formations.

However, this trick of Li Fan's was indeed very effective at deceiving people.

The varying degrees of aura fluctuations emanating from the Integration stage cultivators of the Medicine King Sect before him clearly showed the effect.

Li Fan smiled slightly, put on a show of casting a spell, and conjured a row of bookshelves emitting a faint golden light from the depths of the book sea.

The jade slips placed on them were all enveloped in white jade-like spheres of light, clearly indicating they were extraordinary items.

Li Fan solemnly took one out, then closed the Scripture Depository.

Only then did he hand the jade slip to Liu Ruchen.

Seeing Li Fan's serious demeanor, Liu Ruchen couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

“This is...”

After taking it and examining it, his expression slightly changed: “So many pill recipes?”

“And most of them I’ve never even seen before?”

These words caused a stir among the other Integration stage elders of the Medicine King Sect.

Their gazes were fixed on the jade slip in Liu Ruchen's hand, as if it were some supreme treasure of heaven and earth.

In truth, the pill recipes within this jade slip were indeed unimaginably precious treasures to them. This was because it contained all the mainstream pill recipes currently used by the Myriad Immortals Alliance's Pill Hall, including detailed alchemy techniques and analyses of various possible scenarios during the refining process.

Naturally, these were also obtained from Mo Rubin.

Though some top-secret recipes were omitted, acquiring these was convenient. For the current Medicine King Sect members, however, it represented an enormous fortune.

It was enough to allow them to catch up to the Myriad Immortals Alliance's alchemy standards in a short period.

“Thank you for your grace, Emissary,” Liu Ruchen and the others said, this time with genuine sincerity.

However, the surprises Li Fan had prepared for them extended far beyond this.

“Do not resist.”

Hearing Li Fan's voice and sensing a power descend upon them, they did not hesitate, allowing it to act.

In the blink of an eye, they appeared in an unfamiliar world.

This world was even vaster than the Spirit Wood Realm.

What was more astonishing was that the world was filled with wildly growing spiritual plants and herbs. The dense spiritual energy was almost materializing.

And in the air, a piece of land floated.

After scanning, everyone gasped in surprise: “How are there traces of our Medicine King Sect's restrictions on this?”

“Wait, this place looks somewhat familiar. Isn't it the Longevity Valley?”

Instantly, they recognized the origin of this landmass.

They all turned their heads to look at Li Fan.

Li Fan also looked surprised: “Oh? So this secret realm belongs to your Medicine King Sect?”

He then explained: “When our Myriad Worlds Alliance was gathering reserve forces, we happened to discover this... Longevity Valley. We thought it was ownerless, so we conveniently moved it into this grotto-heaven.”

Li Fan said this without changing his expression.

The expressions of the Medicine King Sect members varied.

Liu Ruchen, however, sighed: “So destiny was already decided.”

Li Fan smiled and stopped explaining: “As you can see, the Myriad Worlds Alliance is a union that combines the surviving cultivator forces from various realms. Naturally, we possess some relics from other worlds.”

“Regarding resources, you don't need to worry. Even if all of you put your full effort into alchemy, the rate of consumption might not keep up with the rate of regeneration.”

“Fellow Daoist Baihua!” At this point, Li Fan called out.

Daoist Baihua then arrived late, appearing before everyone.

“This is...”

“A Longevity stage cultivator?” Liu Ruchen and the others' expressions changed.

“Let me introduce her: Daoist Baihua, from the distant Myriad Bloom Realm. It is thanks to her care that the spiritual plants here are so vibrant. If any of you are skilled in this area, you can exchange pointers with Fellow Daoist Baihua,” Li Fan said with a smile.

The Medicine King Sect members all bowed to Daoist Baihua.

Although Baihua was a bit weak in Li Fan's eyes, she was a genuine Longevity stage cultivator. Out of instinctive reverence for Longevity cultivators, the Medicine King Sect members were extremely respectful towards Baihua.

Daoist Baihua, who hadn't enjoyed such gazes for a long time, couldn't help but feel a little flattered.

She actively began introducing the distribution and quantity of spiritual plants in the wood-attributed grotto-heaven to Liu Ruchen and the others, eliciting continuous exclamations of admiration.

At this point, Li Fan finally revealed his true intentions and stated his request.

“I need a type of pill that can directly increase cultivation upon consumption. Don't consider any side effects; I only seek maximum efficiency in increasing cultivation. The more, the better.”

Li Fan's words drew sidelong glances from everyone.

However, they quickly realized that these pills were clearly not for Li Fan himself.

This was the first task Li Fan assigned, and the Medicine King Sect members immediately agreed.
