My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1168: Silver Needles Stabilize Derivation
Previously on My Longevity Simulation...
After mulling it over for some time, Li Fan inevitably shook his head and pulled himself out of his daydream.
Even though he might acquire the power to examine the Fishing Pond, Li Fan wouldn't rashly decide to make a move. The terrifying image of Senior Stone Tablet being mysteriously pulled out lingered sharply in his thoughts. Why would Li Fan risk copying that error just for a fleeting minor benefit?
Drawing wisdom from the experiences of his one hundred and nineteenth lifetime, until he possessed the assurance to face True Immortal-level beings directly, he would never again deliberately stir trouble with them.
Anyway, the valuables within the Fishing Pond could be gradually reeled in through persistent fishing. At worst, it might take a little longer. Time was something he had in abundance.
“If the [Boundless, Primal Chaos Reveals in Form] grand formation gets fully deduced, maybe it could serve as the initial trial for the Derivation Law Jade's capabilities.”
The clone quickly assessed the main body’s status and mused inwardly.
Within the Derivation Law Jade's space, time appeared to have shed all its significance.
Daily sights consisted of the steady rotation of the unchanging derivation light orbs. The Derivation Jade young girl had grown somewhat accustomed to Li Fan’s pressure and was slowly shedding her fears. Without the presence of the other two Dao Integration experts watching over the area, Li Fan would undoubtedly let her experience his techniques.
Still, it wasn't the right moment to act too boldly, so he had to hold back temporarily.
“Fellow Daoist Sun, judging by the timeline, a Dharma-Transmitter superior ought to arrive for a check in the coming days. We'll need to stay alert then.” While much of Li Fan’s attention centered on unraveling the Boundless formation, the usually quiet Hua Yueye abruptly remembered a detail and transmitted a mental warning.
Among the guidelines shared upon assuming the role, there was a section on Dharma-Transmitters conducting routine checks. Thus, Li Fan remained unsurprised and nodded in acknowledgment.
“Once the Dharma-Transmitter superior finishes the review, the Attendee Jade Tokens should resume operation. Things around here will likely get more bustling then.”
“Individuals who visit this place to seek the Derivation Law Jade's aid in deriving cultivation techniques are either from prestigious lineages or favored by immense luck. Regardless, their eventual accomplishments will undoubtedly be remarkable. As we fulfill our responsibilities, it's wise to forge some positive ties. You never know, after a century when we depart, these bonds could prove useful.” Hua Yueye offered his friendly counsel.
At that point, Elder Zhang Xu joined the conversation: “Precisely. Across hundreds of years, the Derivation Law Jade space stays the same, but the external realm might have transformed dramatically. Having an extra connection is always beneficial.”
Though they ranked as Dao Integration powerhouses, those assigned to guard here for five centuries were typically not the central figures of their clans. Looking ahead and preparing was simply prudent.
Two weeks afterward, the Dharma-Transmitter showed up right on schedule for the examination.
Dharma-Transmitter Lang. Li Fan had encountered this figure previously in the Dharma-Transmitter Council.
Bypassing the three sentinels, Dharma-Transmitter Lang approached the Derivation Law Jade young girl with a smile.
The young girl rolled her eyes, then plugged her ears with her hands, acting as though she couldn't pick up a word he uttered.
Dharma-Transmitter Lang appeared used to her behavior and showed no irritation whatsoever.
A series of silver needles materialized by his side.
Dharma-Transmitter Lang selected one and directed it toward the Derivation Law Jade's forehead.
The young girl’s form quivered faintly. Yet, some force seemed to hold her back. She couldn't fight it and had to endure as the silver needles struck various acupoints on her body in sequence.
This apparently harsh display left both Zhang Xu and Hua Yueye too wary to utter a sound.
However, Li Fan discerned certain hints, and his eyes gleamed subtly.
The acupuncture routine from Dharma-Transmitter Lang wasn't meant for domination or suppression.
Rather, it served as an elite restorative technique to balance qi and blood while straightening the meridians. Indeed, after Dharma-Transmitter Lang spent half a day and removed the needles, the Derivation Law Jade young girl’s face appeared far brighter.
Her small cheeks were rosy, akin to after a vigorous workout.
“She's not just healthier now. The human aspects in her have stirred back to life.”
Li Fan focused on the Derivation Law Jade and, upon close scrutiny, spotted the nuances.
Through these days of close proximity with the Derivation Law Jade, Li Fan had faintly realized that while the young girl sometimes displayed human-like moods, she mostly operated like a flawless mechanism, tirelessly producing cultivation methods.
The urge to “idle and relax” likely stemmed from exhaustion after nonstop effort.
It wasn't something inherent to her.
Furthermore, with the passage of time, these signs of pure mechanization grew ever more pronounced.
“It's clear why Dharma-Transmitters must check in periodically. This keeps the Derivation Law Jade's humanity intact.”
“Likely, over a mere artifact, the Derivation Law Jade guided by the innocent young girl delivers superior results.”
Still, the Derivation Law Jade offered no warm reception to the Dharma-Transmitter Lang who had “assisted” her.
She shot him furious glares and intense stares until he casually departed. Only then did the Derivation Law Jade smack the table hard to express her frustration.
Following that, she sprawled across the long table and sank into a profound slumber.
The day following the check was the Derivation Law Jade’s recovery phase, allowing her 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 head continued to whirl rapidly, seemingly crafting something new.
“Fascinating.” Li Fan remarked pensively.
As Hua Yueye had foreseen, the moment the Derivation Law Jade resumed her ceaseless labor, the limits on the Attendee Jade Tokens were removed.
Besides the standard derivation duties, the young girl now faced the added burden of creating tailored cultivation methods.
Little surprise her demeanor toward these attendee participants was so hostile.
Save for a handful of particularly attractive cultivators.
And the responsibilities of Li Fan along with the three Dao Integration sentinels expanded in tandem.
After all, they needed to stay ever watchful against any attendee participants dispatched by rival groups with harmful motives to strike.
Thankfully, such risks weren't overly frequent.
With three Dao Integration experts overseeing together, tranquility should hold for the immediate future.
...
Holy Dynasty Great Qi, beyond the small world in the void.
The Immortal Severing Formation, once deployed to separate mortals, had been reworked by Li Ping into a component of the Heaven and Earth Myriad Spirits Grand Formation.
Li Ping had gone so far as to domesticate and raise a group of Rift-splitting whales. Encircling the Great Qi small world, they reopened the void to act as innate defensive barriers.
Right 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 had delivered as promised. At the expense of almost slipping back into prolonged dormancy, she had stealthily brought it here without rousing the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.
In the end, as a veteran Longevity Immortal master using ancient arts, her prowess still exceeded that of typical Dao Integration experts.
Naturally, the operation's success owed much to Li Ping's aid in masking the formation.
Holy Emperor Li Ping observed the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven from a distance, feeling the Dao One insects multiplying wildly inside, his face devoid of emotion.
