A mortal, starting with the Heavenly Bottle!

"Senior brother, we're taking that formation master with us to the Chaotic Star Sea. I wonder if that formation master is backed by any sect or family?"

Han Li also expressed his concerns and worries.

"Don't worry, that formation master doesn't have any family or sect. To be precise, she only has one friend, one maid, and she also has the Dragon Roar Physique. However, I have already promised to help that formation master cure the Dragon Roar Physique as much as possible, but whether we can do it or not depends on our luck."

Lin Fan didn't hide anything about Xin Ruyin's situation and told her directly.

"If you also have someone you want to take with you, that's fine too."

"No, I don't have anyone I want to take with me. Besides, I think it would be good to bring a formation master to the Chaotic Star Sea. That way, it will be useful for hunting monsters or exploring ruins in the future."

Han Li shook his head and said with a smile.

"Alright, you should focus on your cultivation. I have other things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Lin Fan had no intention of chatting idly here, and got up and left immediately.

"good!"

Han Li naturally had no objection to this, and instead personally got up to see him off.

……

After returning to his cave, Lin Fan continued his cultivation.

Of course, the most important thing is to cultivate the "Great Evolution Technique" to increase the chances of condensing the Golden Core.

This is the most crucial thing!

The Three Revolutions Rejuvenation Technique is impossible to cultivate, but the Great Evolution Technique must be cultivated to perfection no matter what.

It's not just about increasing the chances of condensing a golden core, but also about enhancing one's divine sense, which is important for any cultivator.

Now that we've come across this, we certainly can't let it pass us by.

As for the outside world, Lin Fan had no interest in it and focused solely on cultivating in his cave.

He spent a full four years cultivating.

During this time, he repeatedly went to Yuanwu Kingdom to look for Xin Ruyin and Qi Yunxiao, only to find that the two had simply disappeared.

This made Lin Fan extremely worried about the safety of the two, especially Xin Ruyin's safety, which made Lin Fan extremely anxious.

As for whether the two of them had run away with what he had given them, Lin Fan wasn't worried at all. Unless Xin Ruyin wanted to die, it was absolutely impossible.

Because in the entire cultivation world, apart from him, no one would be so generous as to give Xin Ruyin so many elixirs and miraculous medicines to suppress her Dragon Roar Physique and thus prolong her life. However, Xin Ruyin's disappearance is causing Lin Fan quite a headache.

He inquired in Yuanwu Kingdom for half a year but still couldn't find any news; it was as if he had simply vanished into thin air.

Lin Fan almost couldn't explain Xin Ruyin's disappearance to Han Li, but fortunately Han Li didn't say much and simply expressed his understanding.

Thus, the two continued their cultivation in their cave in the Taiyue Mountains, completely ignoring the affairs of the outside world.

On this day, when Lin Fan attempted to break through to the third level of the "Great Evolution Technique", he was disturbed by a transmission talisman.

The person who sent this communication talisman is someone who gives Lin Fan a headache.

His junior sister—Nie Ying!

He is one of the future Core Formation stage cultivators of Yellow Maple Valley, possessing dual-attribute spiritual roots. His cultivation talent is not much worse than that of his senior brother, who has a different spiritual root.

Therefore, upon receiving the transmission talisman, Lin Fan immediately invited the other party to his cave hall.

"Junior Sister Nie, has Master given you any instructions for coming here?"

Lin Fan personally poured himself a cup of tea and inquired about the purpose of her visit.

"Senior brother, do you know of the treasure hunt at Yan Family Fortress?"

Taking the spiritual tea from Lin Fan, Nie Ying smiled gently, her bright eyes shining, her gaze never leaving Lin Fan for a moment.

"I've heard of the treasure hunt. Could it be starting soon?"

Lin Fan nodded, suddenly realizing what was happening.

"That's right, it's about to start, so Master wants Senior Brother to take me to see it, and also hopes that Senior Brother can win a prize. After all, the prize for the champion of the Treasure Hunt is extraordinary; it's the Qiankun Tower, a magical talisman."

Nie Ying smiled and said.

"I'm not interested, but I advise my junior sister to avoid going if possible and stay in her cave to cultivate."

After hearing all this, Lin Fan nodded, but then shook his head and began to offer his advice.

Regardless, the two were from the same sect, and given that Xin Ruyin herself also had a chance to condense her golden core in the future, he decided to offer some advice.

"Why? I hope my senior brother will take me to Yan Family Fortress to meet Yan Ruyan, the pride of the Yan Family Fortress. I've heard she has a Heavenly Spiritual Root, and I want to see what's so special about it."

Nie Ying then revealed the reason.

"There's nothing particularly outstanding about you. You're not much inferior to her. At most, it'll be a bit more difficult for you to break through your bottleneck. Otherwise, there's nothing special. Take my advice: focus on cultivating diligently within the sect and don't think about anything else. It won't do you any good. The key is to seize the time to increase your strength."

"Of course, if you insist on going, I won't try to persuade or stop you anymore. Just go by yourself and don't look for me."

Lin Fan drank the tea in his cup in one gulp and then urged him on.

"Senior brother, is there perhaps something wrong with this treasure hunt?"

After hearing Lin Fan's words, and considering the information she had gathered recently, Nie Ying's eyes lit up, and she immediately realized what he meant and asked him a question.

"What you need to do now is focus on improving your cultivation. Don't worry about or ask about the rest, understand? If there's nothing else, you should go back now. If you want to go, feel free."

Lin Fan put down his teacup, shook his head, and directly ordered the guests to leave.

Hearing Lin Fan say this, Nie Ying naturally stopped talking and got up to say goodbye to Lin Fan before leaving.

Lin Fan naturally got up to see her off, but when he escorted Nie Ying to the outside of the cave, he frowned.

"Why is she here?"

Before Nie Ying could even ask who had come, a red light streaked across the distance and landed in front of them in the blink of an eye, about ten feet away.

As the red glow faded, a tall, almost perfect female cultivator appeared, her face veiled.

Upon seeing the female cultivator, both Lin Fan and Nie Ying immediately bowed respectfully and said in unison:

"Greetings, Senior Nangong!"

"Okay. I need to speak with Junior Nephew Lin about something. You should head back now."

Nangong Wan directly gave instructions to Nie Ying.

Although the latter was completely baffled, not understanding what kind of relationship the two could have or what they could possibly have to say to each other, he still respectfully got up to say goodbye and leave.
