Chapter 1013: This is the Perk of Being the Little Brother.

“This is a set of low-grade immortal artifacts, the Eight Desolations War Blood Banner. When deployed against enemies, it unleashes the momentum of a thousand armies. Even a True Immortal expert, once caught within its influence, would be suppressed by its aura of desolation.”

“This is a supreme treasure, the Azure Sky Blue Robe, capable of withstanding a full-force strike from a True Immortal.”

The old man introduced various treasures to Lin Fan, leaving Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu dazzled. These were indeed valuable treasures.

However, Lin Fan wasn’t particularly interested. He could craft these items himself, but even if he did, they would merely be decorations, not something truly impressive.

Seeing Lin Fan’s lack of enthusiasm, the old man guided him to another area.

“Ah!”

At this moment, Lin Fan’s interest was piqued by something before him.

“This is a low-grade immortal herb, the Bitter Hell Grass, which grows in the lands of the dead. It’s an excellent ingredient for refining pills,” the old man explained.

Lin Fan glanced at the price—one million immortal crystals. It was a bit expensive, but for Lin Fan, it wasn’t a big deal.

For most alchemists, using immortal herbs to refine pills didn’t guarantee a 100% success rate. Spending such a hefty sum on an herb, only to fail, would be a significant loss.

“I’ll take ten of these,” Lin Fan said.

“Very well,” the old man nodded.

They continued browsing, but Lin Fan showed little interest in other items, focusing solely on spiritual herbs or immortal herbs.

After a full round of shopping, Lin Fan had spent all six million immortal crystals.

Yet, he was satisfied. With so many medicinal ingredients, he could refine a substantial number of pills. Currently at the peak of the Profound Realm, if he could break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, he would truly soar to new heights and become a dominant force.

After seeing Lin Fan off, the old man returned to his quarters.

Nan Yangzi entered, “Sir, I could have handled the reception. Why did you personally attend to him?”

The old man smiled at Nan Yangzi, “If I hadn’t personally attended, how would I know what herbs he bought and how many?”

“Sir, I don’t quite understand,” Nan Yangzi asked, puzzled.

“I’ve memorized every herb he purchased and the quantities. This way, I can attempt to replicate the pills he might be refining. By understanding the proportions, we can potentially produce similar pills.”

“If the Divine Charm Heavenly Commerce can refine such pills, what advantage would the Junbao Pavilion Commerce have over us?” the old man explained.

Nan Yangzi’s eyes lit up with realization, “Sir, you’re truly wise.”

“Haha,” the old man laughed.

“Should we send someone to follow those three?” Nan Yangzi asked.

The old man waved his hand, “No need. That man’s cultivation surpasses mine, and he’s a major client. If we upset him, it would be counterproductive.”

If Lin Fan knew the old man’s intentions behind the warm reception, he would have been furious.

“Refine my ass!”

Lin Fan had bought the herbs based on their affordability and utility. He wasn’t even sure what pills they could produce.

Without the system, even with his current strength, Lin Fan wouldn’t be able to refine such pills. The old man was bound to fail.

“Big brother, what are we going to do with all these herbs?” Qiu Zhanyu asked.

He was now in awe of Lin Fan, feeling he had made the right choice in following him. This boss was truly extraordinary.

“Refining pills,” Lin Fan replied with a smile.

The six million immortal crystals were of little use to Lin Fan. These herbs were far more valuable.

They checked into an inn, and Lin Fan immediately immersed himself in pill refining.

He threw all the spiritual and immortal herbs into the cauldron in one go.

Crackle, pop!

With a single thought, he purified the herbs, removing all impurities.

“Ding, congratulations on successful pill refining.”

Opening the cauldron, he found several crystal-clear pills floating in the air.

Lin Fan grabbed them and popped them into his mouth.

Crunch!

Delicious.

“Ding, congratulations on gaining 10 million experience points.”

“Ding, congratulations on gaining 30 million experience points.”

“Ding, congratulations on gaining 50 million experience points.”

The experience points kept pouring in, making Lin Fan feel like he was soaring through the heavens.

This feeling was exhilarating.

The six million immortal crystals were well spent.

“A ten percent increase in experience is quite satisfactory,” Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction. He then looked at the two low-grade immortal pills in his hand and headed to Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu’s room.

The low-grade immortal pills Lin Fan refined were far superior to those found in the Endless Continent. The difference between the two was immense.

“Here, one for each of you,” Lin Fan handed the pills to Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu.

Now that they were his subordinates, it was only right to give them some benefits.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu stared at the pills in awe.

“These are immortal pills?”

They noticed the patterns of immortal laws on the surface of the pills, confirming their authenticity.

Overwhelmed with emotion, they looked at Lin Fan, almost on the verge of tears.

“Big brother, you’re too good to us,” Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu said, their voices trembling with gratitude.

“You won’t be able to fully refine these pills immediately. I’ll help you,” Lin Fan waved his sleeve, sealing the room with a source-sealing technique to prevent any energy from leaking out.

With his assistance, they could break through to the True Immortal Realm.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu were both at the high stage of the Ancient Realm.

Since they hadn’t cultivated many martial arts techniques, advancing wouldn’t be too difficult.

They sat cross-legged.

As the immortal pill entered their bodies, their fates were no longer in the hands of heaven.

This was the wonder of immortal pills.

Lin Fan’s mana surged, directly penetrating their bodies.

At their current level, they couldn’t refine the pill on their own. It required constant bombardment of mana and blood to break it down.

But with Lin Fan’s help, the pill shattered, releasing a vast medicinal energy.

Guided by Lin Fan’s mana, the energy flowed through their limbs and bones.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu’s auras surged, their bodies trembling as if scorched by flames, their skin turning a deep red.

“Breakthrough!”

Lin Fan shouted.

He channeled the medicinal energy into every cell of their bodies.

Ancient Realm peak…

Their auras continued to rise, showing no signs of stopping.

Within their inner worlds, a gate to heaven and earth appeared, though it was minuscule compared to Lin Fan’s.

A surge of mana crashed into the gate.

Boom!

The gate opened wide.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu had truly entered the True Immortal Realm.

The True Immortal laws coiled around them, marking their ascension.

Success!

Without Lin Fan’s help, it would have taken them a long time to reach the True Immortal Realm.

But as his subordinates, they enjoyed such privileges.

“This is an ultimate treasure, the Azure Heaven Blue Robe, capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a True Immortal expert.”

The elder was introducing various treasures to Lin Fan. Autumn Slaughter Fish and Golden Mushroom were dazzled by these treasures – they were indeed remarkable items.

However, Lin Fan didn’t seem particularly interested. He could forge these items himself, though even if he did, they would merely be decorations – not impressive enough to be taken seriously.

Seeing Lin Fan’s apparent disinterest, the elder instead led him to another area.

“Hmm!”

At this moment, Lin Fan looked at the item before him and finally showed some interest.

“This is a set of low-grade immortal artifacts, the Eight Desolations War Blood Banner. When deployed against enemies, it unleashes the momentum of a thousand armies and horses. Even a True Immortal Realm expert, once trapped within, would be suppressed by its aura of desolation.”

“This is a supreme treasure, the Azure Sky Blue Robe, capable of withstanding a full-force strike from a True Immortal Realm expert.”

The old man introduced various treasures to Lin Fan, leaving Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu dazzled. These were indeed excellent treasures.

However, Lin Fan wasn’t particularly interested. He could craft these items himself, but even if he did, they would merely be decorations, not truly valuable.

Seeing Lin Fan’s lack of interest, the old man led him to another area.

“Ah!”

At that moment, Lin Fan’s eyes lit up with interest as he saw something before him.

“This is a low-grade immortal herb, the Bitter Yellow Spring Grass, which grows in the deadly lands of the Yellow Spring. It’s an excellent ingredient for refining pills,” the old man explained.

Lin Fan glanced at the price—one million immortal crystals. It was a bit expensive, but for Lin Fan, it wasn’t a problem at all.

For most alchemists, refining pills with immortal herbs didn’t guarantee a 100% success rate. Spending such a high price on an herb would be a huge loss if the refinement failed.

“I’ll take ten of these,” Lin Fan said.

“Very well,” the old man nodded.

They continued browsing, but Lin Fan wasn’t interested in anything else, focusing solely on spiritual herbs or immortal herbs.

After a full round of shopping, Lin Fan had spent all six million immortal crystals, leaving not a single one behind.

But Lin Fan was satisfied. With so many medicinal ingredients, he could refine a significant number of pills. Currently at the peak of the Profound Realm, if he could break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, he would truly soar to new heights and become a dominant force.

After seeing Lin Fan off, the old man returned to his room.

Nanyangzi entered, “Sir, I could have handled the reception. Why did you personally attend to him?”

The old man smiled at Nanyangzi, “If I hadn’t personally attended, how would I know what herbs he bought and how many?”

“Sir, I don’t quite understand,” Nanyangzi asked, puzzled.

“I’ve memorized every herb he purchased and the quantities. This way, I can attempt to refine the pills he might sell and even figure out the proportions of the ingredients.”

“If the Shenyun Heavenly Commerce can refine such pills, what could the Junbao Pavilion Commerce possibly compete with?” the old man said.

Nanyangzi suddenly understood, “Sir, you are truly wise.”

“Haha,” the old man laughed.

“Should we send someone to follow those three?” Nanyangzi asked.

The old man waved his hand, “No need. That man’s cultivation is higher than mine, and he’s a major customer. If we upset him, it would be a great loss.”

If Lin Fan knew the old man’s intentions behind his warm reception, he would have been furious.

“Refine my ass!”

Lin Fan had bought these herbs based on which were cheaper or more useful. He didn’t even know what pills they could refine.

Without the system, even with his current strength, Lin Fan couldn’t possibly refine such pills. So, the old man was bound to fail.

“Big brother, what are we going to do with so many herbs?” Qiu Zhanyu asked.

He was now in awe of Lin Fan, feeling he had chosen the right person to follow. This boss was truly domineering.

“Refine pills,” Lin Fan smiled.

For Lin Fan, the six million immortal crystals were useless compared to the value of these herbs.

They found an inn to stay in, and Lin Fan immediately immersed himself in the art of pill refining.

He threw all the spiritual and immortal herbs into the cauldron in one go.

Crackle and pop!

With a single thought, he refined the pills, removing all impurities from the herbs.

“Ding, congratulations on successful pill refining.”

Opening the cauldron, crystal-clear pills floated in the air.

Lin Fan grabbed a handful and stuffed them into his mouth.

Crunchy and refreshing!

“Ding, congratulations on gaining 10 million experience.”

“Ding, congratulations on gaining 30 million experience.”

“Ding, congratulations on gaining 50 million experience.”

The experience points kept pouring in, making Lin Fan feel like he was about to ascend.

This feeling was incredibly satisfying.

The six million immortal crystals were well spent.

“A ten percent increase in experience is quite good,” Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. He then looked at the two low-grade immortal pills in his hand and went to Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu’s room.

The low-grade immortal pills Lin Fan refined were far superior to those in the Endless Continent. The difference between the two was immense.

“Here, one pill for each of you,” Lin Fan handed the pills to Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu.

Since they were now his subordinates, it was only right to give them some benefits.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu looked at the pills, their faces filled with astonishment.

“These are immortal pills?”

They could see the patterns of immortal laws on the surface of the pills, confirming their authenticity.

They looked at Lin Fan in disbelief, almost moved to tears.

“Big brother, you’re too good to us,” Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu said emotionally.

“You won’t be able to refine these pills immediately. I’ll help you,” Lin Fan waved his sleeve, sealing the room with a source-sealing technique to prevent any energy from leaking out.

With his help, they could break through to the True Immortal Realm.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu were both at the high Ancient Realm.

Since they hadn’t cultivated many martial techniques, advancing wasn’t a significant issue.

They sat cross-legged.

A single immortal pill entered their stomachs, and their fates were in their own hands.

This was the wonder of immortal pills.

Lin Fan’s mana surged, directly penetrating their bodies.

At their current strength, they couldn’t refine the pills on their own. They needed constant mana and blood to collide with the pills.

But with Lin Fan’s help, the pills were shattered into a vast medicinal energy.

Guided by Lin Fan’s mana, the energy flowed through their limbs and bones.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu’s auras surged, their bodies trembling as if burned by intense fire, their skin turning bright red.

“Breakthrough!”

Lin Fan shouted.

He directly injected the medicinal energy into every cell of their bodies.

Peak Ancient Realm…

Their auras continued to rise, and it wasn’t over yet.

In their inner worlds, a Heaven and Earth Gate appeared, though it was much smaller compared to Lin Fan’s.

A surge of mana rushed forth, colliding with the Heaven and Earth Gate.

Boom!

The Heaven and Earth Gate opened.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu had truly entered the True Immortal Realm.

The True Immortal Laws coiled around them, marking their ascension.

Success!

Without Lin Fan’s help, it would have taken them a long time to reach the True Immortal Realm.

But as his subordinates, they enjoyed such benefits.

Lin Fan glanced at the price – one million Immortal Crystals. It was somewhat expensive, though naturally, this price was insignificant to him.

“This is a set of low-grade immortal artifacts, the Eight Desolations Battle Blood Banner. When deployed against enemies, it unleashes the momentum of a thousand armies. Even a True Immortal expert, once trapped within, would be suppressed by its aura of desolation.”

“This is a supreme treasure, the Azure Sky Blue Robe, capable of withstanding a full-force strike from a True Immortal.”

The old man introduced various treasures to Lin Fan, leaving Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu dazzled. These were indeed remarkable treasures.

However, Lin Fan wasn’t particularly interested. He could craft such items himself, but even if he did, they would merely be decorative and not of any real use.

Noticing Lin Fan’s lack of enthusiasm, the old man guided him to another section.

“Ah!”

At this moment, Lin Fan’s interest was piqued by something before him.

“This is a low-grade immortal herb, the Bitter Yellow Spring Grass, which grows in the desolate lands of the Yellow Spring. It’s an excellent ingredient for alchemy,” the old man explained.

Lin Fan glanced at the price—one million immortal crystals. It was a bit steep, but for Lin Fan, it wasn’t expensive at all.

Ordinary alchemists, when using immortal herbs for alchemy, naturally couldn’t guarantee a 100% success rate. Spending such a hefty sum on an herb, only to fail, would be a significant loss.

“I’ll take ten of these,” Lin Fan said.

“Very well,” the old man nodded.

They continued browsing, but Lin Fan showed no interest in other items, focusing solely on spiritual or immortal herbs.

After a full round, Lin Fan had spent six million immortal crystals without a single coin left.

Yet, he was thoroughly satisfied. With so many herbs purchased, he could craft a substantial number of pills. Currently at the peak of the Profound Realm, if he could break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, he would truly soar to new heights and become a dominant force.

After seeing Lin Fan off, the old man returned to his quarters.

Nanyangzi entered, “Sir, I could have handled the reception. Why did you personally attend to him?”

The old man smiled at Nanyangzi, “If I hadn’t personally attended, how would I know which herbs he bought and in what quantity?”

“Sir, I don’t quite understand,” Nanyangzi asked, puzzled.

“Every herb he purchased, and the quantities, I’ve memorized. This way, I can attempt to replicate the pills he might sell and understand the proportions.”

“If the Shenyun Heavenly Commerce can craft such pills, what advantage would the Junbao Pavilion Commerce have over us?” the old man said.

Nanyangzi suddenly understood, “Sir, your insight is profound.”

“Haha,” the old man laughed.

“Should we send someone to follow those three?” Nanyangzi asked.

The old man waved his hand, “No need. That man’s cultivation surpasses mine, and he’s a major client. Displeasing him would be counterproductive.”

If Lin Fan knew the old man’s intentions behind his warm reception, he would surely be furious.

“Alchemy, my foot.”

Lin Fan had bought these herbs based on their affordability and utility. He wasn’t even sure what pills they could produce.

Without the system, even with his current strength, Lin Fan couldn’t possibly craft such pills. So, the old man was in for a disappointment.

“Big brother, what are we going to do with all these herbs?” Qiu Zhanyu asked.

He was now in awe of Lin Fan, feeling he had made the right choice in following him.

This boss was truly domineering.

“Alchemy,” Lin Fan replied with a smile.

The six million immortal crystals were of no use to Lin Fan; these herbs were far more valuable.

They checked into an inn, and Lin Fan immediately immersed himself in alchemy.

In one go, he tossed all the spiritual and immortal herbs into the cauldron.

Crackle and pop!

With a single thought, he purified the herbs, removing all impurities.

“Ding, congratulations on successful alchemy.”

Opening the cauldron, crystal-clear pills floated in the air.

Lin Fan grabbed them and popped them into his mouth.

Crunchy and satisfying!

“Ding, congratulations on gaining ten million experience points.”

“Ding, congratulations on gaining thirty million experience points.”

“Ding, congratulations on gaining fifty million experience points.”

The experience points surged continuously, making Lin Fan feel like he was about to ascend.

This sensation was incredibly exhilarating.

The six million immortal crystals were well spent.

“A ten percent increase in experience is quite satisfactory,” Lin Fan nodded contentedly, then looked at the two low-grade immortal pills in his hand and headed to Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu’s room.

The low-grade immortal pills Lin Fan crafted were incomparable to those from the Endless Continent; the difference was vast.

“Here, one for each of you,” Lin Fan handed the pills to Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu.

Now that they were his subordinates, it was only right to give them some benefits.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu looked at the pills, their faces filled with astonishment.

“These are immortal pills?”

They noticed the patterns of immortal laws on the pills’ surfaces, confirming their authenticity.

Overwhelmed with emotion, they looked at Lin Fan, almost moved to tears.

“Big brother, you’re too good to us,” Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu said, their voices trembling.

“These immortal pills are too potent for you to refine on your own. I’ll help you refine them,” Lin Fan said, waving his sleeve to seal the room with a primal sealing technique, preventing any energy from leaking out.

With his assistance, they could break through to the True Immortal Realm.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu were at the high stage of the Ancient Realm.

Since they hadn’t cultivated many martial techniques, advancing wasn’t a significant issue.

They sat cross-legged.

As the immortal pill entered their bodies, their fates were no longer in the hands of heaven.

This was the miraculous effect of immortal pills.

Lin Fan’s mana surged, penetrating their bodies.

At their current strength, they couldn’t refine the pill on their own, requiring constant mana and blood to collide with the pill.

But with Lin Fan’s help, the pill was shattered into a vast medicinal force.

Guided by his mana, this force circulated through their limbs and bones.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu’s auras surged, their bodies trembling as if scorched by flames, their skin turning a deep red.

“Breakthrough!”

Lin Fan shouted.

He directed the medicinal force into every cell of their bodies.

Peak Ancient Realm…

Their auras continued to rise, and it wasn’t over yet.

Within their inner worlds, a gate to the heavens appeared, though it was minuscule compared to Lin Fan’s.

A surge of mana collided with the gate.

Boom!

The gate to the heavens opened.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu had truly entered the True Immortal Realm.

True Immortal laws entwined around them, the mark of a True Immortal.

Success!

Without Lin Fan’s help, it would have taken them a long time to reach the True Immortal Realm.

But as his subordinates, they enjoyed such privileges.

“Bring me ten of these,” Lin Fan said.

“Very well,” the elder nodded.

“This is a set of low-grade immortal artifacts, the Eight Desolations War Blood Banner. When deployed against enemies, it unleashes the momentum of a thousand armies. Even a True Immortal Realm expert, once caught within, would be suppressed by its aura of desolation.”

“This is a supreme treasure, the Azure Sky Blue Robe, capable of withstanding a full-powered strike from a True Immortal Realm expert.”

The old man introduced various treasures to Lin Fan, leaving Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu dazzled. These were indeed remarkable treasures.

However, Lin Fan wasn’t particularly interested. He could craft such items himself, but even if he did, they would merely be decorations, hardly worth showcasing.

Noticing Lin Fan’s lack of enthusiasm, the old man led him to another section.

“Ah!”

At this moment, Lin Fan’s interest was piqued by something before him.

“This is a low-grade immortal herb, the Bitter Yellow Spring Grass, which grows in the desolate lands of the Yellow Springs. It’s an excellent material for refining elixirs,” the old man explained.

Lin Fan glanced at the price—one million immortal crystals. It was a bit steep, but for Lin Fan, it wasn’t expensive at all.

Ordinary alchemists, when using immortal herbs to refine elixirs, naturally couldn’t guarantee a 100% success rate. Spending such a hefty sum on a single herb, only to fail, would be a significant loss.

“I’ll take ten of these,” Lin Fan said.

“Very well,” the old man nodded.

They continued browsing, but Lin Fan wasn’t interested in anything else, focusing solely on spiritual herbs or immortal herbs.

After a full round, Lin Fan had spent sixty million immortal crystals without a single coin left.

But Lin Fan was satisfied. With so many medicinal materials, he could refine a substantial number of elixirs. Currently at the peak of the Profound Realm, if he could break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, he would truly soar to become a dominant force.

After seeing Lin Fan off, the old man returned to his quarters.

Nanyangzi entered, “Sir, I could have handled the reception. Why did you personally attend to him?”

The old man smiled at Nanyangzi, “If I hadn’t personally attended to him, how would I know what herbs he bought and how many?”

“Sir, I don’t quite understand,” Nanyangzi asked, puzzled.

“Every herb he purchased, and the quantities, I’ve memorized. This way, I can attempt to refine the elixirs he sells, and even discern the proportions of the ingredients.”

“If the Divine Charm Heavenly Commerce can refine such elixirs, what could the Junbao Pavilion Commerce possibly compete with?” the old man said.

Nanyangzi suddenly understood, “Sir, your insight is profound.”

“Haha,” the old man laughed.

“Should we send someone to follow those three?” Nanyangzi asked.

The old man waved his hand, “No need. That man’s cultivation is higher than mine, and he’s a major client. If we upset him, it would be a loss.”

If Lin Fan knew the old man’s intentions behind his warm reception, he would be furious.

Refine my foot.

Lin Fan bought these herbs based on which were cheaper or more useful. He didn’t even know what elixirs they could refine.

Without the system, even with his current strength, Lin Fan couldn’t possibly refine such elixirs. So, the old man was in for a failure.

“Big brother, what are we going to do with all these herbs?” Qiu Zhanyu asked.

He was now utterly impressed by Lin Fan, feeling he had chosen the right person to follow. This boss was truly domineering.

“Refine elixirs,” Lin Fan smiled.

For Lin Fan, the sixty million immortal crystals were useless; these herbs were far more valuable.

They checked into an inn, and Lin Fan immediately immersed himself in the art of elixir refining.

In one go, he tossed all the spiritual and immortal herbs into the cauldron.

Crackle and pop!

With a single thought, the impurities were expelled, and the elixirs formed.

“Ding, congratulations on successful elixir refining.”

Opening the cauldron, crystal-clear elixirs floated in the air.

Lin Fan grabbed them and popped them into his mouth.

Crunchy!

Exhilarating.

“Ding, congratulations on gaining ten million experience.”

“Ding, congratulations on gaining thirty million experience.”

“Ding, congratulations on gaining fifty million experience.”

The experience points surged continuously, making Lin Fan feel like he was about to ascend.

This feeling was incredibly satisfying.

The sixty million immortal crystals were well spent.

“A tenth of the experience gained, not bad at all,” Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. Then, looking at the two low-grade immortal elixirs he had left, he headed to Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu’s room.

The low-grade immortal elixirs Lin Fan refined were incomparable to those in the Endless Continent; the difference was vast.

“Here, one for each of you,” Lin Fan handed the elixirs to Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu.

Now that they were his subordinates, it was only right to give them some benefits.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu looked at the elixirs, their faces filled with astonishment.

“These are immortal elixirs?”

They saw the patterns of immortal laws on the surface of the elixirs, confirming their authenticity.

Then, they looked at Lin Fan in disbelief, on the verge of tears.

“Big brother, you’re too good to us,” Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu said emotionally.

“These immortal elixirs are too potent for you to refine on your own. I’ll help you refine them,” Lin Fan waved his sleeve, sealing the room with a primal sealing technique to prevent any energy leakage.

With his assistance, they could break through to the True Immortal Realm.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu were at the high stage of the Ancient Realm.

Since they hadn’t cultivated many martial techniques, advancing wasn’t a significant issue.

Sitting cross-legged, they swallowed the elixirs.

My fate is mine to control, not the heavens.

This was the wonder of immortal elixirs.

Lin Fan’s mana surged, directly penetrating their bodies.

At their current strength, they couldn’t refine the elixirs on their own, requiring constant mana and blood to clash with the elixir.

But with Lin Fan’s help, the elixir was shattered into a vast medicinal force.

Guided by his mana, the medicinal force circulated through their limbs and bones.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu’s auras surged, their bodies trembling as if scorched by flames, their skin turning crimson.

“Breakthrough!”

Lin Fan shouted.

The medicinal force was driven into every cell of their bodies.

Peak Ancient Realm…

Their auras continued to rise, and it wasn’t over yet.

Within their inner worlds, a gate to the heavens appeared, though it was minuscule compared to Lin Fan’s.

A surge of mana collided with the heavenly gate.

Boom!

The gate opened wide.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu truly entered the True Immortal Realm.

True Immortal laws coiled around them, the mark of a True Immortal.

Success!

Without Lin Fan’s help, it would have taken them a long time to reach the True Immortal Realm.

But as his subordinates, they enjoyed such privileges.

Eventually, after a full round, all six million Immortal Crystals were spent without a single one remaining.

“This is a set of low-grade immortal artifacts, the Eight Desolations War Blood Banner. When deployed against enemies, it unleashes the momentum of a thousand troops and horses. Even a True Immortal Realm expert, once caught within, would be suppressed by its aura of desolation.”

“This is a supreme treasure, the Azure Sky Blue Robe, capable of withstanding a full-force strike from a True Immortal Realm master.”

The old man introduced various treasures to Lin Fan, leaving Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu dazzled. These were indeed rare and valuable items.

However, Lin Fan wasn’t particularly interested. He could craft these items himself, but even if he did, they would merely be decorative and not truly useful.

Seeing Lin Fan’s lack of interest, the old man guided him to another section.

“Ah!”

At that moment, Lin Fan’s attention was caught by something in front of him.

“This is a low-grade immortal herb, the Bitter Yellow Spring Grass, which grows in the deadly lands of the Yellow Spring. It’s an excellent ingredient for refining elixirs,” the old man explained.

Lin Fan glanced at the price—one million immortal crystals. It was a bit expensive, but for Lin Fan, it wasn’t a big deal.

For most alchemists, using immortal herbs to refine elixirs doesn’t guarantee a 100% success rate. Spending such a high price on a single herb could result in a significant loss if the refinement failed.

“I’ll take ten of these,” Lin Fan said.

“Very well,” the old man nodded.

They continued browsing, but Lin Fan wasn’t interested in anything else. He focused solely on selecting spiritual herbs or immortal herbs.

After a full round of shopping, Lin Fan had spent all six million immortal crystals, leaving not a single coin behind.

But Lin Fan was satisfied. With so many medicinal ingredients, he could refine a substantial number of elixirs. He was currently at the peak of the Profound Realm, and if he could break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, he would truly soar to new heights and become a dominant force.

After the old man saw Lin Fan off, he returned to his room.

Nanyangzi stepped in and said, “Sir, I could have managed the reception. Why did you personally attend to him?”

The old man smiled at Nanyangzi, “If I hadn’t personally attended to him, how would I know what herbs he bought and how many?”

“Sir, I don’t quite understand,” Nanyangzi asked, puzzled.

“Every herb he purchased, and the quantity, has been memorized by me. This way, I can attempt to refine the elixirs he might sell, and even understand the ratios between the ingredients.”

“If the Shenyun Heavenly Chamber of Commerce can refine such elixirs, what advantage would the Junbao Pavilion Chamber of Commerce have over us?” the old man said.

Nanyangzi suddenly understood, “Sir, you are truly wise.”

“Haha,” the old man laughed.

“Should we send someone to follow those three?” Nanyangzi asked.

The old man waved his hand, “No need. That man’s cultivation is higher than mine, and he’s a major customer. If we upset him, it would be a loss.”

If Lin Fan had been aware of the old man’s true motives behind his warm hospitality, he would have been enraged.

“Refine my ass!”

Lin Fan had bought these herbs based on which were cheaper or more useful. He didn’t even know what elixirs they could refine.

Without the system, even with his current strength, Lin Fan wouldn’t be able to refine such elixirs. So, the old man was bound to fail.

“Big brother, why did we buy so many herbs?” Qiu Zhanyu asked.

He was now in awe of Lin Fan, feeling that he had made the right choice in following him. This boss was truly domineering.

“To refine elixirs,” Lin Fan replied with a smile.

The six million immortal crystals were of little use to Lin Fan. These herbs were far more valuable.

They checked into an inn, and Lin Fan immediately immersed himself in the art of elixir refining.

In one go, he tossed all the spiritual and immortal herbs into the cauldron.

Crackle, pop!

With a single thought, the impurities of the herbs were expelled.

“Ding, congratulations on successful elixir refinement.”

Opening the cauldron, crystal-clear elixirs floated in the air.

Lin Fan grabbed them and popped them into his mouth.

Crunch!

Delicious.

“Ding, congratulations on gaining 10 million experience points.”

“Ding, congratulations on gaining 30 million experience points.”

“Ding, congratulations on gaining 50 million experience points.”

The experience points kept pouring in, making Lin Fan feel as if he were soaring.

This feeling was incredibly satisfying.

The six million immortal crystals were well spent.

“A tenth of my experience bar filled. Not bad,” Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. He then looked at the two low-grade immortal elixirs left in his hand and headed to Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu’s room.

The low-grade immortal elixirs Lin Fan refined were far superior to those in the Endless Continent. The difference between the two was immense.

“Here, one for each of you,” Lin Fan handed the elixirs to Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu.

Since they were now his subordinates, it was only right to give them some benefits.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu stared at the elixirs in shock.

“These are immortal elixirs?”

They could see the patterns of immortal laws on the surface of the elixirs, confirming their authenticity.

The two looked at Lin Fan in disbelief, nearly moved to tears.

“Big brother, you’re too good to us,” Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu said emotionally.

“These elixirs are too potent for you to refine on your own. I’ll help you,” Lin Fan waved his sleeve, sealing the room with a primal sealing technique to prevent any energy from leaking.

With his assistance, they could break through to the True Immortal Realm.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu were both at the high Ancient Realm.

Since they hadn’t cultivated many martial techniques, advancing wouldn’t be a significant issue.

They sat cross-legged.

As the elixir entered their bodies, their fates were no longer in their hands.

This was the wonder of immortal elixirs.

Lin Fan’s mana surged, penetrating their bodies.

At their current strength, they couldn’t refine the elixir on their own. It required constant impact from their mana and blood.

But with Lin Fan’s help, the elixir was shattered into a vast medicinal energy.

Guided by his mana, the energy flowed through their limbs and bones.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu’s auras surged, their bodies trembling as if scorched by flames, their skin turning bright red.

“Breakthrough!”

Lin Fan shouted.

He directed the medicinal energy into every cell of their bodies.

Peak Ancient Realm…

Their auras continued to rise, and it wasn’t over yet.

In their inner worlds, a Gate of Heaven and Earth appeared, though it was minuscule compared to Lin Fan’s.

A surge of mana rushed forth, crashing into the Gate of Heaven and Earth.

Boom!

The gate opened wide.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu had truly entered the True Immortal Realm.

The intertwining True Immortal Laws were the mark of a True Immortal.

Success!

Without Lin Fan’s help, it would have taken them a long time to reach the True Immortal Realm.

But as his subordinates, they enjoyed such privileges.

Then he would truly soar, becoming a dominant force in the region.

After seeing Lin Fan off, the elder returned indoors.

Nanyangzi entered, “My lord, I could have handled the service just fine. Why did you insist on personally attending to him?”

The elder looked at Nanyangzi and smiled, “If I hadn’t personally attended to him, how would I know what medicinal herbs he bought and how many?”

“My lord, I don’t quite understand,” Nanyangzi asked in confusion.

“Every herb he purchased and the quantity have been memorized by me. Therefore, we can attempt to produce the same pills he will create. Through this, we can determine the ratios used in his pill refinement.”

“If the Divine Rhythm Heavenly Trading House could produce these pills, what would the Junbaoxuan Trading House have left to compete with us?” the elder said.

Upon hearing this, Nanyangzi suddenly understood, “My lord’s insight is extraordinary!”

“Haha!” the elder laughed.

“Shall I send someone to follow those three?” Nanyangzi asked.

The elder waved his hand, “No need. That person’s cultivation surpasses mine, and he is also our most important customer. If we offend him, it would be a loss not worth suffering.”

If Lin Fan knew that this elder’s enthusiastic hospitality was motivated by ulterior motives, he would certainly be furious.

All the medicinal ingredients Lin Fan purchased were simply chosen based on affordability or usefulness.

Moreover, he hadn’t even decided exactly what kind of pills these ingredients could be used to refine.

Without his system, even with his current abilities, he wouldn’t be able to produce such pills. Therefore, this elder could only look forward to failure.

“Big brother, what are we going to do with buying so many medicinal herbs?” Autumn Slaughter Fish asked.

He now admired Lin Fan completely, feeling he had definitely chosen the right person to follow.

This leader was simply too domineering.

“Refine pills,” Lin Fan smiled.

To him, those six million Immortal Crystals were essentially useless compared to these medicinal herbs.

They found a hotel to stay at.

Lin Fan immediately immersed himself in pill refinement.

“This is a set of low-grade immortal artifacts, the Eight Desolations War Blood Banner. When deployed against enemies, it unleashes the momentum of a thousand armies. Even a True Immortal Realm expert, once caught within its grasp, would be suppressed by its aura of slaughter.”

“This is a supreme treasure, the Azure Sky Blue Robe, capable of withstanding a full-force strike from a True Immortal Realm expert.”

The old man introduced various treasures to Lin Fan, leaving Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu dazzled. These were indeed excellent treasures.

However, Lin Fan wasn’t particularly interested. He could craft such items himself, but even if he did, they would merely be decorative and not truly valuable.

Seeing Lin Fan’s lack of interest, the old man guided him to another area.

“Ah!”

At this moment, Lin Fan’s interest was piqued by something before him.

“This is a low-grade immortal herb, the Bitter Yellow Spring Grass, which grows in the land of the dead. It’s an excellent material for refining elixirs,” the old man explained.

Lin Fan glanced at the price—one million immortal crystals. It was a bit expensive, but for Lin Fan, it wasn’t a problem at all.

For most alchemists, refining elixirs with immortal herbs doesn’t guarantee a hundred percent success rate. Spending such a hefty sum on a single herb could result in a significant loss if the refinement failed.

“I’ll take ten of these,” Lin Fan said.

“Very well,” the old man nodded.

They continued browsing, but Lin Fan was only interested in spiritual herbs or immortal herbs. After a full round of shopping, Lin Fan had spent all six million immortal crystals.

Yet, he was satisfied. With so many medicinal materials, he could refine a considerable number of elixirs. Currently at the peak of the Profound Realm, if he could break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, he would truly soar to new heights and become a dominant force.

After seeing Lin Fan off, the old man returned to his quarters.

Nanyangzi entered, “Sir, I could have handled the reception. Why did you personally attend to him?”

The old man smiled at Nanyangzi, “If I hadn’t personally attended to him, how would I know what herbs he bought and how many?”

“Sir, I don’t quite understand,” Nanyangzi asked, puzzled.

“Every herb he purchased, and the quantity, I’ve memorized. This allows us to attempt refining the elixirs he sells and understand the proportions of the ingredients.”

“If the Shenyun Heavenly Commerce can refine such elixirs, what advantage would the Junbao Pavilion Commerce have over us?” the old man said.

Nanyangzi suddenly understood, “Sir, you are indeed wise.”

“Haha,” the old man laughed.

“Should we send someone to follow those three?” Nanyangzi asked.

The old man waved his hand, “No need. That man’s cultivation is higher than mine, and he’s a major customer. If we upset him, it would be counterproductive.”

If Lin Fan knew the old man’s intentions behind his warm reception, he would have been furious.

Refine my ass.

Lin Fan had bought these herbs based on their affordability and utility. He wasn’t even sure what elixirs they could refine.

Without the system, even with his current strength, Lin Fan couldn’t possibly refine such elixirs. So, the old man was bound to fail.

“Big brother, what are we going to do with all these herbs?” Qiu Zhanyu asked.

He was now in awe of Lin Fan, feeling he had chosen the right person to follow. This boss was truly domineering.

“Refine elixirs,” Lin Fan replied with a smile.

The six million immortal crystals were of little use to Lin Fan. These herbs were far more valuable.

They checked into an inn, and Lin Fan immediately immersed himself in the art of elixir refining.

In one go, he tossed all the spiritual and immortal herbs into the cauldron.

Crackle and pop!

With a single thought, he purified the herbs, removing all impurities.

“Ding, congratulations on successful elixir refinement.”

Opening the cauldron, he found several crystal-clear elixirs floating in the air.

Lin Fan grabbed them and popped them into his mouth.

Crunchy!

Delicious.

“Ding, congratulations on gaining ten million experience points.”

“Ding, congratulations on gaining thirty million experience points.”

“Ding, congratulations on gaining fifty million experience points.”

The experience points kept pouring in, making Lin Fan feel like he was about to ascend.

This feeling was incredibly satisfying.

The six million immortal crystals were well spent.

“A ten percent increase in experience is quite good,” Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. He then looked at the two low-grade immortal elixirs he had left and headed to Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu’s room.

The low-grade immortal elixirs Lin Fan refined were incomparable to those from the Endless Continent. The difference between them was vast.

“Here, one for each of you,” Lin Fan handed the elixirs to Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu.

Since they were now his subordinates, it was only right to give them some benefits.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu looked at the elixirs in shock.

“These are immortal elixirs?”

They could see the patterns of immortal laws on the surface of the elixirs, confirming their authenticity.

Overwhelmed with emotion, they looked at Lin Fan with disbelief, almost on the verge of tears.

“Big brother, you’ve been too kind to us,” Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu said, their voices trembling.

“You won’t be able to refine these elixirs on your own. Let me help you,” Lin Fan waved his sleeve, sealing the room with a primordial sealing technique to prevent any energy leakage.

With his assistance, they could break through to the True Immortal Realm.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu were at the high stage of the Ancient Realm.

Since they hadn’t cultivated many martial techniques, advancing wasn’t a significant issue.

They sat cross-legged.

As the immortal elixir entered their bodies, their fates were no longer in the hands of heaven.

This was the wonder of immortal elixirs.

Lin Fan’s mana surged, penetrating their bodies.

At their current level, they couldn’t refine the elixir on their own. It required constant mana and blood to clash with the elixir.

But with Lin Fan’s help, the elixir shattered, releasing a vast medicinal energy.

Guided by his mana, the energy flowed through their limbs and bones.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu’s auras surged, their bodies trembling as if burned by intense flames, their skin turning crimson.

“Breakthrough!”

Lin Fan shouted.

He directed the medicinal energy into every cell of their bodies.

Ancient Realm peak…

Their auras continued to rise, and it wasn’t over yet.

Within their inner worlds, a gate to heaven and earth appeared, though it was minuscule compared to Lin Fan’s.

A surge of mana rushed forth, crashing into the gate.

Boom!

The gate opened wide.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu had truly entered the True Immortal Realm.

The True Immortal laws coiled around them, marking their ascension.

Success!

Without Lin Fan’s help, it would have taken them a long time to reach the True Immortal Realm.

But as his subordinates, they enjoyed such privileges.

Crackling sounds erupted!

With a single thought, he purified all the impurities from the herbs.

“Ding! Congratulations on successfully refining a pill.”

Opening the furnace.

Numerous crystal-clear pills floated in midair.

Lin Fan immediately grabbed the pills, then directly stuffed them into his mouth.

Crunchy and crisp!

Delightful.

“Ding! Congratulations, gained ten million experience points.”

“Ding! Congratulations, gained thirty million experience points.”

“Ding! Congratulations, gained fifty million experience points.”

Continuous notifications kept coming.

The experience points surged rapidly, making Lin Fan feel like he was about to ascend to the heavens.

This feeling was simply too wonderful.

Spending those six million Immortal Crystals was truly worth it.

“This is a set of low-grade immortal artifacts, the Eight Desolations Battle Blood Banner. When deployed against enemies, it unleashes the momentum of a thousand armies. Even a True Immortal Realm expert, once trapped within, would be suppressed by its aura of desolation.”

“This is a supreme treasure, the Azure Sky Blue Robe, capable of withstanding a full-force strike from a True Immortal Realm expert.”

The old man introduced various treasures to Lin Fan, leaving Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu dazzled. These were indeed remarkable treasures.

However, Lin Fan wasn’t particularly interested. He could craft these items himself, but even if he did, they would merely be decorations, not worth much.

Seeing Lin Fan’s lack of enthusiasm, the old man guided him to another area.

“Ah!”

At this moment, Lin Fan’s interest was piqued by something before him.

“This is a low-grade immortal herb, the Netherworld Yellow Spring Grass, which grows in the deadly lands of the Yellow Spring. It’s an excellent material for refining pills,” the old man explained.

Lin Fan glanced at the price—one million immortal crystals. It was a bit expensive, but for Lin Fan, it wasn’t costly at all.

Ordinary alchemists, when using immortal herbs to refine pills, naturally couldn’t guarantee a 100% success rate. Spending such a hefty sum on a single herb would be a significant loss if the refinement failed.

“I’ll take ten of these,” Lin Fan said.

“Very well,” the old man nodded.

They continued browsing, but Lin Fan was only interested in spiritual herbs or immortal herbs. After a full round, Lin Fan had spent all six million immortal crystals.

Yet, Lin Fan was satisfied. With so many medicinal materials, he could refine a substantial number of pills. Currently at the peak of the Profound Realm, if he could break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, he would truly soar to become a dominant force.

After seeing Lin Fan off, the old man returned to his room.

Nanyangzi entered, “Sir, I could have handled the reception. Why did you personally attend to him?”

The old man smiled at Nanyangzi, “If I hadn’t personally attended, how would I know what herbs he bought and how many?”

“Sir, I don’t quite understand,” Nanyangzi asked, puzzled.

“If the Shenyun Heavenly Commerce can refine such pills, what can the Junbao Pavilion Commerce possibly compete with?” the old man said.

Nanyangzi suddenly understood, “Sir, you are indeed wise.”

“Haha,” the old man laughed.

“Should we send someone to follow those three?” Nanyangzi asked.

The old man waved his hand, “No need. That man’s cultivation is higher than mine, and he’s a major client. If we upset him, it would be a loss.”

If Lin Fan knew the old man’s intentions behind his warm reception, he would be furious.

Refine my ass.

Lin Fan bought these herbs based on which were cheaper or more useful. He didn’t even know what pills they could refine.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu looked at the pills, their faces filled with astonishment.

“These are immortal pills?”

They noticed the patterns of immortal laws on the pills’ surfaces, confirming they were genuine immortal pills.

Then, they looked at Lin Fan in disbelief, almost moved to tears.

“Big brother, you’re too good to us,” Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu said emotionally.

“You won’t be able to refine these pills immediately. I’ll help you,” Lin Fan waved his sleeve, sealing the room with a primal sealing technique to prevent any energy leakage.

This was the wonder of immortal pills.

Lin Fan’s mana surged, directly entering their bodies.

At their current strength, they couldn’t refine the pills on their own. They needed constant mana and blood to impact the pills.

But with Lin Fan’s help, the pills were shattered into a vast medicinal force.

Guided by his mana, this force circulated through their limbs and bones.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu’s auras surged, their bodies trembling as if burned by fierce flames, their skin turning crimson.

“Breakthrough!”

Lin Fan shouted.

He directly infused the medicinal force into every cell of their bodies.

Ancient Realm peak…

Their auras continued to rise, and it wasn’t over yet.

In their inner worlds, a Heaven and Earth Gate appeared, though it was minuscule compared to Lin Fan’s.

A surge of mana rushed forth, crashing into the Heaven and Earth Gate.

Boom!

The Heaven and Earth Gate opened wide.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu truly entered the True Immortal Realm.

The old man introduced various treasures to Lin Fan, leaving Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu dazzled. These were indeed remarkable treasures.

However, Lin Fan wasn’t particularly interested. He could craft these items himself, but even if he did, they would merely be decorations, not something of real value.

Seeing Lin Fan’s lack of enthusiasm, the old man guided him to another area.

“Ah!”

At that moment, Lin Fan’s interest was piqued by something before him.

“This is a low-grade immortal herb, the Bitter Yellow Spring Grass, which grows in the land of the dead by the Yellow Spring. It’s an excellent material for refining elixirs,” the old man explained.

“These immortal elixirs are too potent for you to refine on your own. I’ll help you refine them,” Lin Fan waved his sleeve, sealing the room with a primal sealing technique to prevent any energy from leaking out.

With his help, they could break through to the True Immortal Realm.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu were both at the high stage of the Ancient Realm.

Since they hadn’t cultivated many martial arts, advancing wasn’t a significant issue.

They sat cross-legged.

With an immortal elixir in their stomachs, their fate was in their own hands.

This was the wonder of immortal elixirs.

Lin Fan’s mana surged, directly penetrating their bodies.

At their current strength, they couldn’t refine the elixir on their own. It required constant mana and blood to collide with the elixir.

But with Lin Fan’s assistance, the elixir was shattered into a vast medicinal force.

Guided by his mana, this force circulated through their limbs and bones.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu’s auras surged, their bodies trembling as if burned by intense heat, their skin turning crimson.

Ancient Realm peak…

Their auras continued to rise, and it wasn’t over yet.

Boom!

The Heaven and Earth Gate opened.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jin Zhengu had truly entered the True Immortal Realm.

The True Immortal Laws coiled around them, marking their ascension.

Success!

Without Lin Fan’s help, it would have taken them a long time to reach the True Immortal Realm.

But as his subordinates, they enjoyed such privileges.

“These two pills, one each for you two,” Lin Fan handed the pills to Autumn Slaughter Fish and Golden Mushroom.

Now that they were his subordinates, naturally, he should give them some benefits.

Autumn Slaughter Fish and Golden Mushroom looked at the pills in shock.

“Is this… an Immortal Pill?”

Seeing the Immortal Dao laws inscribed on the pill’s surface, they naturally recognized these as authentic Immortal Pills.

Then the two looked at Lin Fan in disbelief, almost moved to tears.

“Big brother, you’re too good to us,” Autumn Slaughter Fish and Golden Mushroom said excitedly.

“These Immortal Pills will be difficult for you to assimilate immediately. Let me help you refine them,” Lin Fan flicked his sleeve, sealing the room with his Origin Sealing Technique to prevent any energy leakage.

With my help, you can breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm.

Autumn Slaughter Fish and Golden Mushroom were both at the peak of the Ancient Realm.

Since they hadn’t cultivated many martial arts techniques, advancing wasn’t a major issue.

Crossing their legs in meditation.

One Immortal Pill enters the body, my destiny is in my hands, not the heavens’.

This was the power of the Immortal Pill.

Lin Fan’s spiritual energy surged, directly penetrating their bodies.

With their current abilities, they couldn’t possibly refine these Immortal Pills themselves. Every moment required their spiritual energy and blood to continuously collide with the pill.

But with Lin Fan’s assistance, the pill was directly shattered, transforming into a vast medicinal force.

Then, under the guidance of spiritual energy, this medicinal force flowed through every limb and bone.

Autumn Slaughter Fish and Golden Mushroom’s aura surged rapidly, their bodies beginning to tremble. Their skin turned bright red, as if being scorched by flames.

“Ascend!”

Lin Fan roared.

He directly infused the medicinal force into every cell of their bodies.

Ancient Realm’s pinnacle…

Their aura continued to rise, and it wasn’t over yet.

Within the two’s inner world, a Heaven and Earth Gate appeared. Compared to Lin Fan’s Heaven and Earth Gate, this one seemed extremely tiny.

A surge of spiritual energy erupted, directly crashing into the Heaven and Earth Gate.

Boom!

The Heaven and Earth Gate burst open.

Autumn Slaughter Fish and Golden Mushroom had truly entered the True Immortal Realm.

True Immortal Laws entwined around them, the mark of a True Immortal.

Success!

Without Lin Fan’s help, it would have taken them a long, long time to reach the True Immortal Realm.

But as his subordinates, this was the privilege they enjoyed.
