NOVPUBIn order to prevent any discord between the reality and the dream, Li Fan even specifically demarcated an area within the Spirit Tree Realm to serve as a haven for these Medicine King Sect disciples.
The Array Technique isolated them, ensuring that no accidents would disturb them.
"After all, there is a slight gap between dream and reality. They can’t handle excessively detailed tasks, but if it’s just grunt work like providing Evergreen Vital Force, that shouldn’t be a problem," Liu Ruchen observed for a while and commented.
"In the refinement of any elixir, as long as a proper amount of Evergreen Vital Force is added, it will increase the probability and quality of the elixir’s success. Therefore, the more Evergreen Vital Force, the better." Looking at the many disciples of the Medicine King Sect in the dreams, survivors of a catastrophe with their faces full of aspirations for the future, a trace of pity flashed in Liu San’s eyes.
But he also knew that this was the best treatment he could fight for them at the moment, so he simply echoed Liu Ruchen’s words.
Li Fan, insightful of human nature, clearly sensed the thoughts of the Medicine King Sect’s Unity-Path cultivators present.
It is human nature to feel pain for one’s kind. Li Fan did not press them too hard but instead promised, "This is just a temporary measure! Rest assured, I definitely won’t let these disciples indulge in dreams for too long."
Whether the crowd truly believed him or not, they all praised Li Fan for his compassion.
"Ancient Cultivators Sect Elders usually climbed up from the very bottom, bringing a wealth of struggle experience," Li Fan responded with a smile, but in his heart, he was not beguiled by the facade these people displayed.
"But it’s not a big problem. They’ve all sworn allegiance to the Statue of Faceless True Immortal, so now we’re all in the same boat," he said.
With the Elders and the lower-level disciples’ issues resolved, what needed to be arranged next were those thirty elite disciples listed by name.
Including Liu Ruchen’s foster son, Liu Yihang, all thirty were outstanding junior disciples of the Medicine King Sect.
Even by Li Fan’s current standards, they could be considered exceptionally talented.
Now was the time to make use of them, and it would be a pity for them to continue sleeping.
So Li Fan contacted Mo Rubing again and asked for a hundred different Techniques.
Even though Techniques are one of the most treasured resources within the Xuanhuang World, a Dharma Transmitter who stood at the zenith of rule naturally would not lack them.
Li Fan briefly recounted to Mo Rubing about finding the Medicine King Cauldron.
Though Mo Rubing was somewhat surprised by Li Fan’s good fortune, he did not pay it too much attention.
After handing over one hundred God Transformation-level Techniques to Li Fan, Mo Rubing admonished, "It’s fine to play around, but don’t let it interfere with more important matters. I have already gained the support of most Law Transmitters, and Cang has also made the necessary preparations."
"Soon, the [Xuan Tian Soul Seal] resolution will be officially passed. Brother Xingwang, you better prepare in advance," he said.
Li Fan, sensing the progression of the Final Separation Disk in his sea of consciousness, waved his hand, "Don’t worry about how I do things; there won’t be any slip-ups!"
"Hmm... I will go see the Tianxuan Mirror again. After all, this is about its freedom, and it can’t just shirk its responsibilities," Li Fan mumbled to himself as he made a hasty departure.
Watching Li Fan’s receding figure, Mo Rubing let out a sigh.
After leaving the Hidden Cave Heaven, Li Fan headed straight for Weidu in Liuguang Prefecture, where the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar resided.
Having not seen him for a while, he had already switched identities.
No longer the inn assistant, he had now become the innkeeper.
He was greeting customers in the inn with a beaming smile.
All surroundings came to an abrupt halt, and the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar immediately dropped the smile from his face.
"I’ve come to report on the progress of the plan," Li Fan stated his intent first.
He then relayed Mo Rubing’s words.
"Speak plainly. You wouldn’t have come all this way just for such a trivial matter," said the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar, speaking languidly.
"’He who knows me, TianXuan himself,’" Li Fan raised his thumb, praising.
"We should indeed join forces from the outside and perform a great show of swapping the beams under the nose of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. There shouldn’t be any major problems. However, I still have a few concerns."
Li Fan spoke seriously, "First, if we break the Dharma Transmission Forbidden Formation, will the Celestial Dharma Bearer himself sense something?"
"If He notices the changes happening in the Xuanhuang World and returns instantly..."
"I’m afraid our painstaking scheme will go down the drain in an instant!"
The Tianxuan Mirror Avatar remained silent.
Li Fan continued, "Second, if everything goes smoothly and you don’t alarm the Dharma Transmitter, and you regain your freedom... What then? Will you leave the Xuanhuang World, or..."
Li Fan stopped speaking, watching the other party, waiting for an answer.
"For the first issue, rest assured. Even if I leave, I will leave a Secondary Body as a decoy. In terms of capability to handle affairs, this Secondary Body is not inferior to me. It also has almost all the backup data from my original body..."
"There will not be any abnormality," the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar said indifferently.
"As for the second issue..."
"I haven’t decided yet," the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar said candidly.
"Perhaps it’s because I’ve been trapped for so long that even if I regain my freedom for a moment, I don’t know where to go. But it’s okay, I have plenty of time to pursue what I want."
It was only at this moment that a hint of world-weariness befitting his identity flickered in the eyes of the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar.
"If you really find yourself at a loss with nowhere to go, you can join us," Li Fan suggested with a smile.
"Sure, the Xuanhuang World is vast, but compared to the boundless Star Sea, it’s still too small. Who wouldn’t want to step out of this starry sky and have a look further afield?"
Perhaps Li Fan’s words resonated with the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar, who subconsciously lifted his head and gazed up at the sky.
His eyes became distant, as if lost in some memory.
Silence fell between the two and lasted for a long time.
In the end, it was Li Fan who broke it, "Speaking of which, that ’Secondary Body’ you mentioned, what exactly is it?"
"Can it really bring forth an existence that functions not inferior to your original body..."
"Could it be like us humans reproducing?" Li Fan asked with some curiosity.
The Tianxuan Mirror Avatar glanced at Li Fan and shook his head slightly.
After pondering for a moment, he still explained, "If you really want to compare it that way, then you’re not wrong."
"You human Cultivators, with the passage of time, continually accumulate your cultivation base. I am the same. But unlike Cultivators, the power constituting my original body is too pure and cannot contain repetitive parts. Thus, every so often, I need to expel these repetitive parts from my body."
"That’s the origin of the Secondary Body."
The Tianxuan Mirror Avatar spoke, and a white jade measuring rod appeared in his hand for no apparent reason.
"Just like this ’Heavenly Measuring Shuttle’, it is composed of the surplus ability ’Measuring Heaven and Earth’ from my body."
Li Fan looked towards the Heavenly Measuring Shuttle, only to see various images faintly visible and constantly shifting on it.
