My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 616

"Exactly," Li Fan nodded approvingly as Liu San eagerly answered his question.

"The current world of cultivation, after enduring several catastrophes of heaven and earth, has seen cultivators' lifespans drastically reduced compared to our time," Li Fan explained.

"Furthermore, life-extending treasures have become exceedingly rare. Even a pill that extends life by a mere century can drive cultivators into a frenzy."

"If we can resume mass production of the 'Longevity Pills' and exchange them for cultivation techniques suitable for all sect members, there is hope for our future."

Li Fan spoke confidently, his tone steady and assured.

"It's nothing more than revisiting an old craft," Liu San chimed in. "As long as we have enough manpower, it’s not a difficult task."

As he spoke, he retrieved a jade bottle from his storage ring.

"Here, I have nine high-grade Longevity Pills that the sect master previously rewarded me with. Each of them can extend life by approximately 600 years."

"You, young master, should take these and exchange them for spirit... ahem, what’s it called now? Contribution points?"

"Exactly," Li Fan replied nonchalantly. "Although the name has changed, the essence remains the same." Without hesitation, he accepted the bottle of precious pills, now worth a fortune, with a gracious nod.

Liu San, however, voiced his concern. "Young master, as you mentioned, these Longevity Pills are extremely valuable. Selling them occasionally might be fine, but if we do so frequently, won’t it attract unwanted attention?"

Li Fan agreed with a nod. "You’re absolutely right, Elder Liu. That’s precisely why it’s not suitable for us to handle the transactions directly."

"I’ve mentioned this before—I've established a connection with Fellow Daoist Zhou Qingang. He has a powerful background and can manage everything on our behalf. We only need to share a portion of the profits with him."

Although Liu San frowned slightly, he refrained from commenting further.

Li Fan continued, "This is only a temporary solution. In the future, we will undoubtedly rebuild the Medicine King Sect."

"But it must be done gradually and with caution."

Hearing this, Liu San nodded in agreement.

"Elder Liu, stay inside the Medicine King Cauldron for now. I’ll head back and exchange the pills for cultivation techniques. Once we’ve awakened some disciples, we can discuss further plans."

After informing Liu San, Li Fan exited the Medicine King Cauldron.

However, the explanation he gave Liu San was merely to appease him. The Longevity Pills were not going to be casually traded.

With his current contribution points, Li Fan had more than enough to acquire the cultivation techniques necessary to revive disciples capable of refining Longevity Pills. R₳NОbÈʂ

Still, the identity of "Li Fan, a cultivator of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect" would be discarded after the fiery battle of Crimson Flame burning the Sea.

Yet, the disciples of the Medicine King Sect still held value.

The question was how to ensure their identities were "cleansed" without linking them to Li Fan or each other.

Gao Yuan was startled.

This was significant news. The higher the Secret Envoy’s cultivation, the more secure their standing would be. However, neither he nor He Zhenghao was aware of this development. Clearly, the Secret Envoy trusted Zhou Qingang more than anyone else.

If the Secret Envoy knew that Zhou Qingang was engaging in these backdoor dealings behind his back...

A thought flashed through Gao Yuan’s mind.

Once it appeared, it became impossible to suppress.

“Since Fellow Daoist Zhou has said so, I can’t refuse,” Gao Yuan said after a brief pause, his eyes flashing with cunning. “Let me know before you bring those cultivators here. I’ll personally handle their admission procedures into the alliance.”

“Great! Great!” Zhou Qing’ang left, satisfied.

Gao Yuan, however, paced back and forth as if caught in a dilemma.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

He used the Fragmented Spirit Jade Slip left by the Secret Envoy to contact Li Fan.

“Lord Secret Envoy, I have something to report,” Gao Yuan said, his tone full of flattery.

“Speak,” Li Fan’s voice was cold, making Gao Yuan’s heart sink as a sense of foreboding crept over him.

Nevertheless, the arrow was already notched on the bowstring, and he had no choice but to proceed. Summoning his courage, he reported Zhou Qingang’s actions.

In response, there was only silence.

This silence made Gao Yuan increasingly uneasy.

“I understand,” Li Fan finally spoke after a long pause.

“However, Gao Yuan...”

“Little Zhou is right. Don’t bother me with such trivial matters in the future.”

Gao Yuan’s heart sank.

“And I hope you understand: unity is the most important thing.”

With that, Li Fan fell silent again, leaving the flustered Gao Yuan standing there, at a loss for what to do.
