Huang Lier truly didn’t want to agree to Lin Fan’s request.
Splitting a Divine dicine in half—what kind of Divine dicine would that even be?
Finding one for him was possible, but it would definitely be dangerous.
"Alright, if we only obtain one Divine dicine in the end, half will be given to Master Lin. Master Lin need not worry about the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion breaking promises. Compared to the miraculous uses of a Divine dicine, our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion values Master Lin’s capabilities even more."
"Besides, when Master Lin puts forward a request and we agree, it’s agreent. If we don’t agree, we absolutely won’t make false promises."
Huang Lier said.
Look at how thorough their way of handling things is.
How nice.
Agreeing openly while assuring you that they absolutely won’t go back on their word—now that’s class.
If it were soone else, he would truly be afraid that they might betray him and strike him from behind as soon as they got their hands on the Divine dicine.
Of course, he wasn’t fazed by such actions in the slightest, since his son was there to protect him. But at the end of the day, it’s still troubleso—avoiding unnecessary complications is better. Besides, he wanted to conduct business with the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion later, and the high-and-mighty True Disciples and Saints’ futures would naturally be tied to this place.
"Alright, I’ve always trusted the reputation of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion." Lin Fan praised generously, then said, "But there’s one more thing. With my current cultivation level, entering that Forbidden Land will certainly be dangerous. I’ll need Dao Artifacts for protection. The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion is vast and resourceful—lend a few Dao Artifacts for self-defense, in case unknown forces suddenly strike and severely injure ."
"If everything remains safe, I’ll return the Dao Artifacts to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion—not a single one will be kept for myself. This request shouldn’t be too unreasonable, right?"
Even though he had the Reverse Vault Four Saints Set for protection.
But let’s cut the pleasantries.
He simply wanted them.
He really wanted to explore the Forbidden Land but couldn’t appear overly eager. He had to make it sound dangerous and consider all factors.
How dangerous it seed.
Without Dao Artifacts for protection, he wouldn’t feel secure—it would terrify anyone, honestly.
The people of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion didn’t feel displeased by Lin Fan’s request.
It was within reason.
The danger level of the Forbidden Land was well-known.
Indeed, it was a gamble of nine lives against one’s survival. A single mont of carelessness could an ten deaths with no hope of survival.
Huang Lier pondered for a mont. "Alright, that won’t be a problem. The Forbidden Land is indeed dangerous, and even with powerful experts protecting you, accidents are still likely. Having Dao Artifacts could indeed mitigate so of the risks."
Originally, Lin Fan had wanted to spar verbally against them regarding this point.
He hadn’t expected them to agree imdiately.
This was great.
He liked dealing with generous people—this kind of approach felt good and harmonious.
"By the way, how many experts is the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion planning to bring for this trip into the Forbidden Land? I don’t an anything else—I just want to gauge truly how safe we’ll be during this mission," Lin Fan asked.
He didn’t know how the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion cultivated its experts.
True Immortal Realm powerhouses willingly risk their lives for them, completely disregarding their own safety. Anywhere else, this would be inconceivable.
After all, True Immortals were incredibly precious. Wherever they went, they would be honored as esteed guests; even establishing an Immortal Sect would be more than manageable.
"Six True Immortal powerhouses, along with you and ," Huang Lier stated.
As the daughter of the Pavilion Master and the heiress of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, she was willing to venture into the Forbidden Land herself. What more could he say?
Moreover, the strength of this lineup was truly terrifying.
Six True Immortal experts.
How many True Immortals did the Taiwu Immortal Sect have?
He didn’t know either, but guessed they could probably be counted on two hands.
Lin Fan silently speculated. The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion entering the Forbidden Land again so soon was certainly not only due to the allure of Divine dicine—it couldn’t be that simple.
Last ti, they must have obtained sothing more than Divine dicine inside the Forbidden Land.
Which was why they were so eager to return.
Even though he didn’t know the specifics.
He was confident in his speculation—it couldn’t be wrong. He was absolutely certain.
That was the kind of confidence he possessed.
"Mao Si, fetch three Dao Artifacts for Master Lin," Huang Lier instructed.
Mao Si complied and left to retrieve the Dao Artifacts. For the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, Dao Artifacts were indeed costly but not rare; their level of opulence was beyond what an ordinary person could imagine.
Their wealth was overwhelming.
How could one use impoverished thinking to question their abundance?
That would be an insult to their stature.
Soon, Mao Si returned with three Dao Artifacts.
A shield, armor, and a seal.
When they promised self-defense Dao Artifacts, they delivered self-defense Dao Artifacts. If even a hint of offensive capability existed, it wouldn’t align with the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s way of doing things.
"This level of thoughtfulness—I must say, they’re truly considerate," Lin Fan remarked with admiration.
He really liked conducting business with considerate people.
Whether or not he could claim those three Dao Artifacts for himself.
That depended on the dangers he encountered in the Forbidden Land.
Mao Si said, "Master Lin, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion is acting in good faith. These three Dao Artifacts are Middle Grade Dao Artifacts, and in our pavilion, they could even serve as treasures to anchor the establishnt."
Indeed, just as they had said.
These were excellent items.
High Grade Dao Artifacts were extrely rare.
Crafting even an ordinary High Grade Dao Artifact was an incredibly complex process, requiring a trendous amount of materials—and an Immortal Dao Law specifically for its creation.
As for Lin Fan’s Reverse Vault Four Saints Set, its value was beyond imagination.
No ordinary High Grade Dao Artifact could compare.
People have rankings; Dao Artifacts are no different.
Even among High Grade Dao Artifacts, there could still be significant disparities in quality.
Lin Fan received the Dao Artifacts with a smile. "I can see that clearly."
"With the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion being so sincere, I feel very assured."
Huang Lier said, "Tomorrow morning, we depart. Let’s hope everything goes smoothly this ti."
Lin Fan laughed. "Fairy Huang seems so composed—surely you’re confident in this mission. How could it not go smoothly?"
Huang Lier remained expressionless but inwardly wanted to ask, Where exactly do you see being composed?
Night fell.
Inside the chamber.
Lin Fan held the hand of the mad elder, speaking in earnest. "My son; listen, your father has sothing incredibly important to tell you—it’s crucial that you rember this. Tell , are you clear-headed right now?"
He genuinely had an important matter to discuss.
But feared his mad son would take his words lightly, letting them pass in one ear and out the other, leaving nothing behind.
"Father, I’ve always been clear-headed," the mad elder replied seriously.
Lin Fan blinked, feeling like he was preaching to the deaf. He was terrified—this mad son had never been clear-headed before, and now he suddenly claid to have been so all along. It was unsettling.
But he had no other choice.
Regardless of whether his mad son was clear-headed, he had to explain things.
"Son, once we enter the Forbidden Land, if danger arises, don’t bother with anything else—just carry your father and run, got it?" Lin Fan said, explicitly repeating the instructions multiple tis to ensure his son understood.
"Did you get that?"
The mad elder nodded. "Got it."
"Good, I trust you understand. Don’t let down—your father’s life depends on you. If I die, you’ll be an orphan, alone in the world, without love, and frequently bullied and beaten," Lin Fan said. He wasn’t entirely confident his mad son could handle it.
He didn’t expect his son to fight the terrifying powerhouses in the Forbidden Land.
He only hoped that when danger arose, his son would carry him and escape. That was all.
The mad elder assured him that he truly understood—there was absolutely no issue.
Frankly.
Most people seeing this scenario would believe him.
But Lin Fan knew things weren’t as simple as they seed; whether his mad son truly understood wasn’t clear.
The next day!
Lin Fan and Huang Lier, along with the others, prepared to set off from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. Six True Immortal powerhouses had already gathered.
These six True Immortals had solemn expressions, as if aware that they were heading into the Forbidden Land to face great horrors, preparing their minds accordingly.
All six were elderly.
Perhaps their aged appearances granted them an added aura of immortality, making them appear mysterious yet dignified.
"Master Lin."
"Master Lin."
The six elders greeted Lin Fan politely, despite his strength being far inferior to theirs. But that wasn’t the point—they acknowledged Lin Fan’s unique ability.
He could identify Divine dicine.
For now, he was the only one in the world with this skill.
It was precisely for this reason that they treated him with respect.
If there were two such experts, Lin Fan’s position would naturally diminish significantly. If there were many, no more needed saying—he’d be largely ignored.
That’s how reality worked.
Lin Fan noticed everyone waiting motionlessly and asked, "Fairy Huang, shouldn’t we be departing now?"
"Wait a mont. For this trip, we’ve consulted the current Mystic Master for an auspicious departure ti to ensure safety," Huang Lier said seriously.
Seeing Huang Lier’s somber expression, Lin Fan felt amused. He hadn’t expected her to believe a fortune-teller. If people wanted to consult soone for fortune-telling, they could just ask him—he’d guarantee accuracy with one reading.
At that mont, Huang Lier said, "Let’s go."
Soon after, everyone transford into streaks of light and vanished into the vast heavens.
As Lin Fan and the others left, several figures in the city of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion also took flight, only to be intercepted by True Immortal powerhouses within the city and forced back down. This matter was significant—no interruptions were allowed.
On the way.
Lin Fan wanted to tease Huang Lier a bit, but her expression was heavy, her mood grave, and her responses to his jests were overly sincere—making it quite dull.
He didn’t want to make things awkward for himself.
Won like her were unlikely to find true love.
It seed she was destined to die alone.
Of course, if she suggested casually teaming up with Lin Fan for a simple relationship, he would absolutely agree—but only if her father were dead or had already ascended. Otherwise, such a casual partnership was simply infeasible.
Half a month later.
Far from the Taiwu Immortal Sect.
Far from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
The distance was vast. Relying on the Reverse Vault Four Saints Set to endure until reinforcents ca seed unlikely. Suddenly, Lin Fan felt a slight pang of unease deep within.
It was as though he’d lost so vital protection.
The surrounding environnt was desolate, with frequent celestial phenona occurring overhead.
Lightning coursed through the sky, falling sporadically to strike the ground and leave deep craters in its wake.
One True Immortal elder took out a talisman and activated it—a shimring light enveloped the group, shielding them from the lightning and repelling evil winds, ensuring safety.
Soon.
The group descended and began traveling on foot.
A True Immortal expert said, "We’ve entered the Forbidden Land’s boundary. We must proceed on foot; flying in the air may be seen as desecrating the Forbidden Land and could invite calamity. Let’s hope for a smooth venture this ti."
Lin Fan, forrly full of playful banter, gradually grew serious.
He felt an ancient aura colliding with his very soul—one strike after another, pounding at him until his face flushed.
And the flushing wasn’t embarrassnt—it ca from his blood surging wildly.
