My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1168: Silver Needles Stabilize Derivation

After some contemplation, Li Fan inevitably shook his head, pulling himself out of his reverie.

Should he acquire the skill to examine the Fishing Pond, Li Fan still wouldn't rashly make a move. The terrifying sight of Senior Stone Tablet vanishing mysteriously after being fished out lingered sharply in his thoughts. Why would he risk committing the identical error just for a fleeting minor benefit?

Drawing wisdom from the trials of his one hundred and nineteenth lifetime, until he possessed the assurance to face True Immortal-tier beings directly, Li Fan vowed never to stir trouble with them proactively once more.

Regardless, the valuables within the Fishing Pond could be steadily reeled in through persistent fishing. The worst outcome would merely be a slower pace. Time was something he possessed in abundance.

“Should the [Boundless, Primal Chaos Reveals in Form] grand array get fully deduced, it might serve as the initial trial for the Derivation Law Jade's capabilities.”

The clone quickly assessed the primary body's status and pondered inwardly.

Within the Derivation Law Jade realm, time appeared to have vanished from relevance.

Daily views consisted of the steady spectacle of derivation light orbs spinning endlessly. The Derivation Law Jade young girl had somewhat grown accustomed to Li Fan's threats, showing increasing boldness. Were it not for the presence of the other two Dao Integration experts on watch, Li Fan would surely let her experience his approaches.

For now, though, drawing too much notice wasn't wise, forcing him to hold back temporarily.

“Fellow Daoist Sun, by my reckoning, a Dharma-Transmitter superior ought to arrive for review in the coming days. We'll need to stay alert then.” While Li Fan concentrated mainly on unraveling the Boundless array, the usually quiet Hua Yueye abruptly remembered a detail and transmitted a mental alert.

The guidelines shared upon assuming the role did include mentions of periodic Dharma-Transmitter visits. Thus, Li Fan remained unsurprised and nodded in acknowledgment.

“Once the Dharma-Transmitter superior finishes the review, operations with the Attendee Jade Tokens will resume. Affairs here ought to grow more animated soon after.”

“Individuals able to visit this place and seek the Derivation Law Jade's aid in unraveling cultivation techniques typically hail from prestigious lineages or enjoy immense luck. Regardless, their eventual accomplishments are bound to be remarkable. As we fulfill our responsibilities diligently, it's smart to forge some positive ties. One never knows when such links could prove useful after we depart in a century.” Hua Yueye offered this sage counsel.

Elder Zhang Xu joined in at that moment: “Precisely so. Across hundreds of years, while the Derivation Law Jade domain stays static, the external realm could have transformed dramatically. An extra connection is always beneficial.”

Even as Dao Integration mighty figures, those assigned to guard duty here for five centuries were seldom the central figures of their clans. Looking forward and preparing was simply prudent.

Half a month onward, the Dharma-Transmitter showed up right on cue for the check.

Dharma-Transmitter Lang. Li Fan had encountered him previously in the Dharma-Transmitter Assembly.

Bypassing the trio of sentinels, Dharma-Transmitter Lang approached the Derivation Law Jade young girl with a grin.

The young girl rolled her eyes before plugging her ears with her hands, acting as though his words fell on deaf ears.

Dharma-Transmitter Lang appeared used to such behavior and stayed unperturbed.

A series of silver needles materialized near his palm.

Dharma-Transmitter Lang selected one and directed it toward the Derivation Law Jade's crown.

The young girl's frame quivered faintly. Yet, some force seemed to bind her, preventing any struggle as the needles successively pierced various acupoints on her form.

This apparently harsh display left both Zhang Xu and Hua Yueye too wary to utter a word.

However, Li Fan detected certain hints, causing his eyes to flash.

Dharma-Transmitter Lang's acupuncture sequence wasn't meant for domination or restraint.

Rather, it constituted an elite restorative technique for balancing qi and blood while aligning the meridians. Indeed, once Dharma-Transmitter Lang paused for half a day and removed the needles, the Derivation Law Jade young girl's visage appeared far healthier.

Her diminutive features glowed red, akin to the flush following vigorous exertion.

“She's not just healthier overall. The human aspects inside her have stirred back to life.”

Li Fan fixed his gaze on the Derivation Law Jade, discerning the subtleties through close scrutiny.

Throughout these days of constant companionship with the Derivation Law Jade, Li Fan had faintly realized that despite the young girl's sporadic displays of human moods, she mostly operated like a mere automaton, tirelessly computing cultivation techniques.

The urge to “lounge and recuperate” likely stemmed from exhaustion's toll.

It wasn't part of her core nature.

Furthermore, over time, these instances of tangible human traits grew ever more pronounced.

“It's clear why Dharma-Transmitters conduct frequent checks. This preserves the human side of the Derivation Law Jade.”

“Likely, versus a stark anomaly, the Derivation Law Jade guided by the innocent young girl yields superior results.”

Still, the Derivation Law Jade offered no warmth to the Dharma-Transmitter Lang who had “aided” her.

She shot him glares full of fury until he departed at ease. Then, the Derivation Law Jade slammed the desk hard to release her frustration.

Following that, she sprawled across the extended table and sank into profound slumber.

The post-inspection day marked the Derivation Law Jade's recovery phase, allowing unrestricted rest.

The young girl slumbered deeply, her snores resounding like thunder.

Nevertheless, Li Fan observed that the enormous derivation light orb hovering over her continued its rapid shifts, evidently still generating derivations.

“Fascinating.” Li Fan murmured reflectively.

True to Hua Yueye's foresight, as the Derivation Law Jade plunged anew into her ceaseless labors, the limits on Attendee Jade Tokens vanished.

Besides her standard derivation duties, the young girl now shouldered the added burden of crafting tailored cultivation techniques.

Little surprise her demeanor toward these attendee participants was so hostile.

Save for a handful of striking cultivators.

Likewise, the responsibilities of Li Fan and the three Dao Integration sentries expanded in kind.

They must stay ever watchful, lest any attendee prove an infiltrator from rival powers aiming to strike.

Thankfully, such risks weren't overly elevated.

Under the combined oversight of three Dao Integration experts, tranquility should persist in the near future.

...

Holy Dynasty Great Qi, beyond the void's small world.

The Immortal Severing Formation, once deployed to bar mortals, had been reworked by Li Ping into a segment of the Heaven and Earth Myriad Spirits Grand Formation.

Li Ping went further, capturing and raising a group of Rift-splitting whales. Encircling the Great Qi small world, they reopened the void to act as innate defensive barriers.

Now, the once barren and shadowy void concealed a colossal entity a hundredfold the size of the Great Qi small world.

It was none other than the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven!

Daoist Hundred Flowers fulfilled her promise. Risking a near-relapse into eternal sleep, she managed to ferry it back stealthily, evading the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance's notice.

Ultimately, as a veteran Longevity Immortal via ancient arts, her prowess outstripped typical Dao Integration masters.

Naturally, the operation's success owed much to Li Ping's aid in masking the arrays.

Holy Emperor Li Ping viewed the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven from a distance, feeling the Dao One insects surging wildly inside, his face devoid of emotion.
