My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1024: Spiritwood Subdues the Medicine King
Previously on My Longevity Simulation...
"The Xuantian King’s inexplicable disappearance becomes more terrifying the more extraordinary his reputation grows."
"In this current lifetime, Mo Rubin’s strategy to locate the Xuantian King ought to bear fruit..."
"I truly hope he is simply hiding away with grievous injuries. It would be preferable to him actually perishing and undergoing reincarnation, as I have begun to suspect." Li Fan’s mind was a whirlwind of speculation.
Having acquired both the [Astral Mechanism, Myriad Spirits Return to Number] and the [Desolate Fall, Flowers Bloom in an Empty Room] immortal-grade formations, Li Fan had utilized the Final Dissociation Disc to analyze them. Through this, he had developed a vague understanding of what this complete set of formations could actually achieve.
"The creation of worlds..."
"This set of immortal-grade grand formations is undoubtedly capable of it, whether the goal is to recreate realms from past memories or to manifest entirely original ones."
Unfortunately, such a profound level of power remained far beyond Li Fan’s current reach; for the moment, he could only catch a glimpse of its potential through the calculations of the Dissociation Disc.
Now that the formations were fully deciphered, Li Fan was no longer required to dedicate his full attention to them. He simply detached a fragment of his consciousness to oversee the Disc’s continued processing.
Following this, Li Fan gave the order for Liu Ruchen and the other members of the Medicine King Sect to be summoned.
"After reflecting on the matter over the last few days, I have concluded that allowing Liu Yihang and the others to remain in their eternal sleep is a significant waste. We are currently in a period that demands every available hand, and considering the recent efforts of your Medicine King Sect..."
"Following a thorough review, I have decided to permit them to transition to new techniques so they may regain their combat capabilities as swiftly as possible."
As he spoke, Li Fan escorted Liu Ruchen and the rest into a structure located within the Spiritwood Realm.
Upon entering, they were met with the sight of bookshelves that seemed to stretch toward the horizon.
Every shelf was crowded with jade slips.
With a simple motion, Li Fan pulled thirty slips from the shelves and presented them to Liu Ruchen.
"Are these all Soul Transformation techniques?" Liu Ruchen cried out in shock after scanning the contents.
In the modern cultivation world, where multiple techniques cannot be practiced simultaneously, this was unheard of. Even during the peak of the ancient cultivation era, producing thirty Soul Transformation techniques at once would have been considered an immense display of status and resources.
The members of the Medicine King Sect offered their profuse thanks to the emissary, though they could not help but steal glances at the massive library behind Li Fan.
Only Li Fan was aware that this seemingly infinite Hidden Merit Pavilion actually held only one hundred techniques recently taken from Mo Rubin, along with fifty or so masterless techniques he had amassed during previous reincarnations.
The remaining shelves were nothing more than illusions woven by Li Fan’s formations.
Nevertheless, Li Fan’s deception was highly effective.
The shifting auras of the several Dao Integration experts from the Medicine King Sect made it clear that they were deeply impressed.
Li Fan maintained his facade with a faint smile, performing a hand seal to draw a specific row of bookshelves from the depths of the library, each glowing with a soft golden radiance.
The jade slips on these shelves were encased in spheres of light that resembled white jade, marking them as extraordinary treasures.
Li Fan carefully selected one from the top shelf before closing the [Hidden Merit Pavilion].
Only then did he pass the jade slip over to Liu Ruchen.
Observing Li Fan’s solemnity, Liu Ruchen’s nerves grew taut.
"This is..."
His expression shifted as he investigated the contents: "This many pill formulas?"
"And I have never even seen the majority of these before?"
His exclamation immediately caused a stir among the Dao Integration elders of the Medicine King Sect.
Their eyes were glued to the jade slip in Liu Ruchen’s hand, as if they were looking at a supreme heavenly treasure.
In reality, these formulas were indeed priceless to them. The slip contained the full catalogs for all the standard pills currently utilized by the Alchemy Hall of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. It even provided exhaustive refining instructions and troubleshooting guides for various complications.
Naturally, these had been seized from Mo Rubin.
While some top-secret formulas were missing, what was there represented a massive windfall for the current Medicine King Sect.
It was more than enough to allow them to match the pill-refining expertise of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance in short order.
"We are deeply grateful for your generous gift, Emissary." This time, the gratitude from Liu Ruchen and his peers was entirely genuine.
However, Li Fan had more surprises in store for them.
"Do not fight it."
Recognizing Li Fan’s voice and feeling a powerful force envelop them, they remained still and allowed the energy to take hold.
In an instant, they were transported to an entirely different world.
This realm was even more expansive than the Spiritwood Realm.
What shocked them most was that the land was overflowing with wild spiritual plants and medicinal herbs. The spiritual energy was so thick it was almost tangible.
In the sky above, a massive piece of land floated.
After inspecting it, the group cried out in disbelief: "Why does that land possess the restriction marks of our Medicine King Sect?"
"Wait, this scenery is familiar. Is that not Longevity Valley?"
They recognized the floating landmass almost immediately.
All eyes turned toward Li Fan.
Li Fan feigned a look of surprise: "How unexpected; does this secret realm actually belong to your Medicine King Sect?"
He proceeded to explain: "While the Federation of All Worlds was consolidating its reserves, we happened upon this... Longevity Valley. Assuming it was abandoned, we simply moved it into this Cave-Heaven for safekeeping."
Li Fan told this lie without a hint of hesitation.
The members of the Medicine King Sect were visibly moved.
Liu Ruchen let out a sigh: "It seems this was simply meant to be."
Li Fan smiled, choosing not to elaborate further: "As you can see, the Federation of All Worlds is a gathering of survivors from many different planes. It naturally holds the legacies of various worlds."
"You need not worry about resources. Even if you all spent every waking moment refining pills, you likely couldn't consume the plants faster than they regrow here."
"Daoist Hundred Flowers!" Li Fan called out.
Daoist Hundred Flowers made her entrance, appearing before the assembled group.
"This person is..."
"A Longevity Immortal realm cultivator?" Liu Ruchen and the others were stunned.
"Allow me to introduce her: Daoist Hundred Flowers, hailing from the distant Wansheng Realm. The health and vitality of the spiritual plants here are thanks to her oversight. If any of you possess talent in this area, you are welcome to discuss the Dao with her." Li Fan said, smiling.
The Medicine King Sect members bowed respectfully to Daoist Hundred Flowers.
Though she appeared somewhat weak to Li Fan, she was a legitimate Longevity Immortal realm cultivator. Out of a deep-seated respect for such beings, the sect members treated her with the highest honor.
It had been a long time since Daoist Hundred Flowers had been looked upon with such reverence, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.
She took the lead, showing Liu Ruchen and the others the various wood-attribute spiritual plants scattered throughout the Cave-Heaven, earning their constant amazement.
Finally, Li Fan revealed his true objective and made his demand.
"I require a specific type of pill that directly boosts cultivation upon ingestion. Ignore any potential side effects; I only care about the highest possible efficiency in increasing one's Cultivation. I need as many as you can produce."
The group looked at him with confusion.
However, they quickly surmised that these pills were clearly not intended for Li Fan’s own use.
Since this was the first mission Li Fan had given them, the Medicine King Sect members accepted the task without delay.
