A mortal, starting with the Heavenly Bottle!

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

During this half-day, after finishing the tea in the teapot, Lin Fan brewed another pot of tea and continued to drink tea while waiting for others.

At the same time, I was also a little worried that Xin Ruyin might run away with her people.

After all, among Xin Ruyin's group, only Xin Ruyin had some sense; the others were insignificant.

Especially Qi Yunxiao, who is deeply affectionate but not very bright.

Although he wasn't very bright, he basically listened to Xin Ruyin, so he was considered somewhat intelligent.

Just as Lin Fan finished his tea and was about to set off to find it himself, he suddenly raised an eyebrow and looked towards the door.

Before long, a man and a woman stepped into the hall.

The man was short and stocky, with an ordinary and unremarkable appearance.

As for the woman, she was dressed in a blue dress, of medium build, with a small nose, but her most outstanding feature was her pair of bright eyes, clear as water, possessing an indescribable beauty.

As soon as they entered, the two bowed to Lin Fan in unison, their tone and demeanor extremely respectful.

"Junior Qi Yunxiao pays respects to Senior!"

"Junior Xin Ruyin greets Senior!"

"Alright, there's no need for such formalities. You should already know why I've come to see you. Let me introduce myself. I am a cultivator from the Yue Kingdom, in the late Foundation Establishment stage. This is the formation I asked you to help repair. I wonder if you are confident in your abilities?"

Lin Fan, too lazy to waste words, directly took out the jade slip he had prepared beforehand and handed it to Xin Ruyin.

Although Xin Ruyin had already learned about this from the shopkeeper, she still looked a little flustered and quickly took the jade slip.

"Then I need to examine it first before I can report back to you, senior."

A hint of apology was evident on his face.

"You're too kind, young lady. Please take a look first."

Lin Fan shook his head and said nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Xin Ruyin finally felt relieved and began to examine the contents of the jade slip with her divine sense.

The moment she probed into his mind, she was so shocked that she blurted out:

"Ancient teleportation array!"

"It is indeed an ancient teleportation array. I hope you can repair it."

Lin Fan nodded.

Xin Ruyin continued to concentrate on the examination, and after about half an hour, she finally withdrew her divine sense, her face turning somewhat pale.

She hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lin Fan very seriously and said respectfully:

"This junior would not dare to deceive you, senior. If the teleportation array were completely destroyed, my meager cultivation would be utterly incapable of repairing it. However, this teleportation array is only damaged in a small section, and this small section happens to be one of the ancient arrays I have recently been studying. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, this junior will definitely be able to repair it, but it will take some time. I wonder how much time senior can grant me?"

"How long will it take you at the slowest?"

Upon hearing Xin Ruyin's question, Lin Fan did not answer directly, but instead asked a question in return.

"It will take at least a year, and at the fastest, it might be possible in six months, but the chances are slim, only about 50% or 60%."

Xin Ruyin thought for a moment before answering truthfully.

"Then I'll give you a year. If that doesn't work, it can be extended to two or even three years, but it absolutely cannot be longer. This teleportation array is extremely useful to me, and I can't afford to be delayed for too long. I hope you'll understand, young lady."

"As for the reward, you can rest assured, young lady. I can help you suppress your Dragon Roar Body. As for a complete cure, I am currently unable to do so."

Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyin immediately showed excitement, and the smile in her bright eyes was so beautiful that it made one's heart flutter.

Qi Yunxiao, who was standing to the side, was completely stunned, but Lin Fan was unmoved by the scene.

"Senior, is this really true?"

"Of course it's true, please rest assured, young lady. However, I would like to exchange some of the array formations I need with you. I wonder how many array formations you have on you right now? As long as the array formations suit my needs, I'm sure there will be plenty of spiritual herbs."

Lin Fan nodded with absolute confidence and then proposed another deal.

"As for formations, I only have two or three sets here. However, if you can grant me one condition, I can guarantee to give you a great gift that will surely satisfy you and will not disappoint you."

Xin Ruyin's words surprised and delighted Lin Fan, and he agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, why not?"

"Brother Qi, could you please step out for a moment? I would like to discuss the transaction with you privately."

Upon hearing Xin Ruyin's words, Qi Yunxiao, who was standing beside her, was taken aback again. However, he never refused Xin Ruyin's orders, so he immediately nodded in agreement and turned to leave the hall without saying another word.

With Qi Yunxiao gone, only Xin Ruyin and Lin Fan remained in the hall.

To prevent eavesdropping, Lin Fan casually set up a barrier, sealing off the entire room.

"Now, young lady, you can speak frankly. What kind of deal do you wish to make with me?"

"This is the content of the transaction, please take a look, senior."

When Lin Fan asked her a question, Xin Ruyin did not give a direct answer. Instead, she took out a jade slip and handed it to Lin Fan.

Seeing this, Lin Fan had no choice but to take the jade slip and use his divine sense to examine it.

After reading the contents of the jade slip, Lin Fan abruptly stood up from his chair, looking at Xin Ruyin with shock in his eyes:

"Are you truly willing to trade this for me? What do you want?"

"Before I state my conditions, could you please make a solemn vow, a vow against your own conscience, that you will never harm me or my family and friends?"

Faced with Lin Fan's question, Xin Ruyin remained calm and unhurriedly stated her conditions.

"You can rest assured about that. I am not the kind of person who would kill and steal treasure indiscriminately."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan solemnly made a vow against his inner demons in front of Xin Ruyin.

The oath of inner demons, whether before or after the Nascent Soul stage, is one of the strongest constraints on cultivators.

Violating this rule will have a significant impact on cultivators, potentially causing their cultivation to stagnate and making further progress difficult.

However, if a Nascent Soul cultivator is willing to pay a huge price, it is not impossible to break through it. But the price is so high that even a Nascent Soul cultivator would never be willing to bear it easily.

"This junior hopes that senior can help me refine a pill that can cure my constitution. However, senior must prepare all the spiritual herbs and materials needed to refine the pill himself. This junior has been collecting them for years, but has not been able to gather them all, so I hope senior can lend a hand."

Xin Ruyin slowly stated her conditions.

"Could you please bring me the prescription so I can take a look?"

Lin Fan had anticipated Xin Ruyin's conditions, but he did not immediately agree. Instead, he asked her for the prescription.

Xin Ruyin did not refuse and handed the prescription she had prepared to Lin Fan.
