Lin Fan smiled and said, "I am truly touched by everyone’s trust in . However, to prove that what I said is indeed true, I will provide so evidence, so that you can believe even more."
"I will impart a trace of mana into the divine dicine. Soon, the five Immortal Infants lying on the green leaves will awaken, but I advise everyone not to panic, lest we disturb them."
He had now beco addicted to pretending to be an Identification Master.
Take a look at the expressions of the other Identification Masters around him—those were the looks of fans gazing at their idol. Perhaps his status in their minds had already reached a very high level, an almost unscalable height.
These Identification Masters had never seen divine dicine before, and now that they had, their horizons were indeed broadened.
All of them stood in respectful silence, carefully learning.
Lin Fan extended a finger, and a wisp of mana gently flowed into the divine dicine. Imdiately, a brilliant radiance erupted from the divine dicine. The Immortal Infants, who had been peacefully sleeping on the green leaves, awoke and began circling around the pearl at the flower’s center.
The Immortal Infants paid no attention to the existence of the external world.
This extraordinary phenonon stunned the crowd, causing them to fully believe Lin Fan’s words.
They had never witnessed such a scene; even Ninth Grade Spirit Grass had never exhibited such characteristics.
As Lin Fan withdrew his hand, the mana dissipated, and the Immortal Infants returned to the green leaves, falling back into a deep slumber. Tiny bubbles erged from their nostrils, expanding and contracting with every breath.
"You are now well aware of the situation, so I have nothing more to add," Lin Fan said, though he couldn’t help but to linger and cast a nostalgic glance at the divine dicine. Truly, this was a treasure beyond compare.
If the outside world learned that an unprecedented divine dicine had erged, countless experts would risk venturing into perilous lands to search for other undiscovered divine dicines.
The attitudes of the Identification Masters toward Lin Fan had shifted drastically.
Their gazes toward Lin Fan had changed.
It was now a look of reverence.
Huang Lier said, "Master Lin, may I trouble you to hold for a mont? I wonder about your understanding of divine dicine—do you know of any others?"
Her heart had been greatly stirred by the existence of the divine dicine.
However, the key issue was that even if they obtained divine dicine, they would struggle to discern its purpose.
Thus, she harbored intentions to recruit Lin Fan.
Lin Fan pondered for a mont.
"The kinds of divine dicine in this world are abundant and their uses astonishingly varied. No one dares to claim they know them all. As for myself, my knowledge is rely superficial," he said humbly.
Mao Si whispered by Huang Lier’s side, "Master’s ’superficial’ knowledge is actually quite profound."
He had excellent judgnt when it ca to assessing people.
Master Lin was a man of many virtues—his only flaw was being overly humble.
Huang Lier said, "Master need not disparage himself. I would like to invite Master Lin to serve as a Divine dicine Evaluator for the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. Would Master be interested?"
In the twenty-first century, what’s most valuable? Talent, of course.
Even in the cultivation world, talent is the most precious commodity.
Especially soone with talent as rare as his—it would be hard not to covet such a person.
"Thank you, Fairy Huang, for your recognition. However, evaluating divine dicine consus a great deal of ntal energy. Today’s appraisal was the result of fortunate coincidence, and I also wanted to establish ties with the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion—but prolonged appraisals would inevitably take a significant toll on ," Lin Fan responded.
The situation was clear: without sufficient benefits, continuing to perform appraisals would be difficult.
After all, he had to earn his living too.
Huang Lier regretfully said, "Since it greatly depletes your ntal energy, we will not force the issue."
"Ah, hey!"
Lin Fan was taken aback. This little girl sure knew how to play her cards—so much so that even he was a bit caught off guard.
Mao Si turned his bewildered gaze toward his young mistress. "My dear Miss, do you really not understand, or are you just pretending?"
But thinking back, his mistress had always been straightforward, so it wasn’t surprising.
"Miss, Master Lin worries about ntal exhaustion, but we at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion can provide elixirs to restore ntal energy each ti, while also granting Master Lin the highest status within the Pavilion. Wouldn’t that be perfect?"
"Master Lin, how does that sound to you?"
Mao Si was shrewd—he wouldn’t miss Lin Fan’s implicit aning.
No one would willingly do sothing without benefit.
Lin Fan had likely agreed to evaluate this divine dicine out of consideration for prior circumstances.
Huang Lier said, "Master Lin, is that the reason? If you need elixirs to recover your ntal energy, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion will surely et your requirents."
Lin Fan muttered to himself internally.
What a frighteningly straightforward young lady.
She was genuinely terrifying.
"If that’s the case, Master, you can rest assured. Our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion is absolutely sincere. Moreover, I am not skilled at interpreting hints in casual conversation. In the future, if Master Lin has any needs, you must speak directly—I find roundabout communication difficult to grasp," Huang Lier explained candidly.
For her, deciphering subtext was unnecessarily troubleso.
Spending ti on such matters was far less productive than simply doing sothing more practical.
Lin Fan was speechless—the straightforwardness of this young lady was domineering to the point where people didn’t even know how to respond.
"Alright, in that case, I can beco a Divine dicine Evaluator for the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, but I will not remain there regularly. If any divine dicine requires appraisal, you will have to wait until I am available," Lin Fan proposed.
"As for the rewards offered by the Pavilion, I’d rather not specify any demands—leave it up to you to decide."
He didn’t want to get too entangled with the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. Negotiating terms was too ntally taxing.
Better to let the Pavilion carefully deliberate how much reward to offer.
"Very well, since Master Lin has such trust in our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, we will ensure that Master Lin is not disappointed. We look forward to fruitful cooperation," Huang Lier said.
Lin Fan replied, "I naturally have utmost trust in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. May we work well together."
He hadn’t expected that a single visit to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion would lead to him becoming its Divine dicine Evaluator—a developnt beyond imagining.
The little assistant’s appraisal ability truly was excellent.
Just thinking about it felt overwhelmingly powerful.
Soon, he left the venue, taking another glance at the divine dicine before silently bidding it farewell in his heart.
"Divine dicine."
"Farewell, dear divine dicine. I hope I get another chance to obtain one soday."
"Miss, how should this divine dicine be handled?" Mao Si asked.
Huang Lier replied, "This divine dicine is too valuable. I wouldn’t feel comfortable letting it leave the Pavilion. I will inform my father to personally retrieve it. anwhile, you should arrange for all True Immortal Realm experts in the city to guard this divine dicine—no one must be allowed near it."
"Understood, Miss," Mao Si replied. Naturally, he was acutely aware of the staggering value of the divine dicine. If word got out that the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion possessed one, soone might take extre risks to intercept it.
Thus, his mistress’s decision was undoubtedly wise.
Having the Pavilion Master personally retrieve it would ensure absolute security.
Soon after...
Mao Si suggested, "Miss, Master Lin is extrely important to our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. Although we’ve obtained a divine dicine, none of our Identification Masters can determine its characteristics. In the future, more divine dicines might surface, but without appraisals, they would rely beco ornants."
"Yes, I understand what you an. You will take charge of this matter," Huang Lier instructed.
Mao Si acknowledged the assignnt. He was more aware than anyone of Lin Fan’s imnse value.
Though obtaining divine dicine ca at an extre cost, its allure was irresistible, like a tantalizing treasure—people couldn’t help but risk everything for it, even knowingly stepping into danger.
Inside the pavilion...
Lin Fan was assigned a luxurious suite at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion—free of charge and with excellent service.
However, the real problem now...
Was the group of Identification Masters lingering in his quarters, reluctant to leave. The situation was becoming sowhat awkward.
"Is there sothing you need, gentlen?" Lin Fan inquired.
The emaciated elder replied earnestly, "Master Lin, in your presence, how could we dare call ourselves masters?"
"Indeed."
"We wouldn’t dare call ourselves masters. We are rely lost lambs wandering aimlessly without the true path."
The group of Identification Masters were exceptionally humble now, far removed from their earlier airs of aloofness. For them, encountering soone like Lin Fan was nothing short of a miracle.
Ah!
Lin Fan sighed heavily. He understood the pain of dealing with sycophants and felt reluctant to exploit their over-eagerness.
"There’s no need to stand on ceremony, gentlen. The variety of Spirit Grass and divine dicine in the world is far too vast to fully comprehend. While I’ve yet to encounter a divine dicine I don’t recognize, I’m sure there are still unknown wonders waiting to be discovered."
What Lin Fan said should have been perfectly valid.
Yet gradually...
It started to sound like subtle bragging.
Yes.
There seed to be an unmistakable hint of self-aggrandizent hidden within.
Lin Fan reached for a cup of tea to soothe his throat. Before he even lifted his hand, the surrounding Identification Masters eagerly stepped forward to pour his tea, their movents practiced, as if recalling their youthful days as apprentices.
"You’re too kind, truly too kind," Lin Fan said with a smile. He graciously accepted the tea, savoring it before continuing, "You are all esteed masters in the field of identification. Henceforth, let’s learn from one another and grow together."
"Should the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion encounter divine dicine in need of appraisal, you may join in observing the process."
Delighted by this news, the group exclaid, "Thank you, Master Lin!"
Their greatest fear was losing access to divine dicine in the future. After all, they couldn’t appraise it on their own—only Lin Fan had the capability.
Now, his assurance brought them deep relief.
At that mont, the emaciated elder asked, "Master Lin, could you give us a detailed explanation of today’s divine dicine?"
As he posed the question, everyone else simultaneously prepared paper and pens.
Their heads tilted upward, eyes focused, pens poised over paper.
They resembled a flock of hungry chicks, ravenously waiting for Lin Fan to deliver a morsel of wisdom so they could frantically jot it down.
"Very well. Allow to explain the specifics of this divine dicine. In identifying divine dicine, you mustn’t rely solely on its appearance—you need to learn how to observe and perceive its essence. Divine dicine differs from Spirit Grass; it possesses a spirit and can transform in countless ways. However, rember this: no matter how it changes, its core essence will remain unchanged."
Lin Fan felt a bit awkward.
I don’t actually understand anything about this.
If not for the little assistant guiding , I’d truly be clueless.
With that, a masterclass began—precious knowledge shared with an enraptured audience of Identification Masters.
Afterward...
They all formally addressed Lin Fan as Master Lin.
