Chapter 14: Secret Base (Part 2)

After about an hour, the Materials in the warehouse had noticeably decreased by nearly half, while the surface of the nano cube shimmered with a faint light, becoming increasingly bright and dazzling.

Once the absorption was complete, the nano cube automatically levitated and slowly returned to Lin Fan's palm.

This refining and absorption process yielded 61 Spirit Essence nano-units for Lin Fan.

"Perfect. The nano cube can hold a maximum of 100 Spirit Essence, so filling it to 61 is just right." Lin Fan smiled with satisfaction, gave it a gentle squeeze, and stored the nano cube within his Purple Mansion.

Now that he was a Golden Core Cultivator, opening a Purple Mansion was no longer a challenge, and storing items was effortless.

Lin Fan turned and walked toward the console, his gaze falling on the control screen of the base's main System. With a light tap of his fingertip, he decisively issued a command:

"Next, this place will become the Operation Center. Defensive facilities, offensive capabilities, and combat units—none of them can be left out."

His tone was calm yet firm, and his eyes revealed a silent determination.

The voice of the base's main System immediately sounded, steady and tinged with solemnity: "Command received. The System will execute it immediately."

Lin Fan nodded, very satisfied with the AI's response. This intelligent main brain, equipped with a large data model, made him feel extremely at ease when handling these matters.

He stood before the main console, the nano cube in his hand spinning rapidly, reflecting in his focused eyes.

Next, he needed to reconstruct a quantum phone.

Constructing a phone only required 5 Spirit Essence, which was nothing to him now that he possessed 61.

Previously, although he already had enough Spirit Essence, he hadn't dared to use it lightly because it was precious; after all, he needed to maintain his combat power for unexpected situations.

But now, the base was built and resources were abundant, so he could finally act with peace of mind.

The construction parameters were quickly entered. Then, 5 units of Spirit Essence detached from the nano cube, flowing in the air like liquid metal and converging into countless tiny, precise nano-particles that hovered silently before Lin Fan.

As Lin Fan moved his mind, these particles, as if controlled by an invisible hand, quickly aggregated and arranged themselves, and the structural outline of a quantum phone quietly emerged.

The phone's frame appeared first, with intricate structures layered one upon another to build a sturdy yet lightweight casing.

Then, the internal circuitry and core chips were rapidly embedded into the frame. The Spirit Essence particles transformed into precise sensor modules and an energy core, providing a continuous source of power for the entire device.

The entire process was as precise as a ritual, as if a work of art were being carved in mid-air. Within just a few minutes, a brand-new quantum phone was completed.

When the last particle fell into place, the surface of the phone glowed with a pale blue light, cold and agile.

Lin Fan reached out and caught the phone, feeling its warm, slightly vibrating body, and a trace of joy rose in his heart.

"It's sturdier and smarter than the previous one," he praised in a low voice. "This one is a true technological masterpiece."

He immediately ordered: "Main System, bind with the new quantum phone."

"Binding complete. The phone is now synchronized with the base's main System." A confirmation message popped up on the screen, and the System's voice echoed precisely.

Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction, manipulated the nano cube, and injected new instructions into the phone.

This time, he specifically added a protection feature—the Follow System.

This was a special module; regardless of whether the phone was stolen, lost, or even discarded, as long as the owner gave the order, it would automatically track its location and fly back to his side, loyally protecting its master like a faithful dog.

Everything was done. Lin Fan put the phone away with a smile on his lips: "Now, I don't have to worry about anyone swiping my phone anymore."

He gently stroked the phone's metallic casing and placed it into his storage space.

Immediately, his gaze turned to the explorer shuttle hovering not far away in the air.

The aircraft hovered silently, its silver-white casing gleaming with a faint blue luster under the lights, looking cold and formidable.

For Lin Fan, this was no longer just a means of transport; it was his core asset for venturing into dangerous lands and conquering the unknown.

He stood where he was, gazing at the explorer shuttle for a long time, and said in a low voice: "It's time for the final step."

Lin Fan leaped lightly onto the explorer shuttle, and the cabin door opened quietly, as if welcoming its master.

He stepped into the cockpit, sat in the familiar seat, and tapped his fingertips rapidly on the console. The System interface immediately lit up, and strings of data flowed quickly across the screen; the startup process was as smooth and seamless as ever.

"explorer shuttle, release previous binding and bind with the new quantum phone." Lin Fan issued the command.

The quantum phone immediately emitted a faint light, establishing a quantum-level connection with the shuttle's System.

"Connection successful. New device bound successfully. Synchronization between the quantum phone and the explorer shuttle System is complete." The main System responded, calm and concise.

"Main System, from this day forth, this ship shall be named—yunchi ship."

"Naming complete. yunchi ship at your service." The mechanical voice sounded again, carrying an intelligent solemnity.

Lin Fan's lips curled up slightly. Now, not only did he have total control over this ship, he had also given it a true identity.

He looked at the successful synchronization screen on the control panel, a faint light flashing in his eyes, and said slowly: "Proceed to—Xuanyin Qin Sect."

yunchi ship launched instantly, the low roar of the engines sounding like a sleeping beast Awakening. The entire shuttle trembled slightly, and then the engines erupted fully, with the warp drive roaring to life.

Under Lin Fan's control, yunchi ship shot off like an arrow from a bow, piercing through the thick fog over the Black Wind Abyss. The black mist was torn to shreds, the wind howled, and it seemed as if heaven and earth were making way for it.

Standing in the main control cabin, Lin Fan crossed his arms in front of his chest, his gaze passing over the holographic display screen to stare at the familiar mountain ruins—Black Wind Stronghold.

That was the place where he had lived for eighteen full years.

"One last look," he whispered to himself, his eyes cold and detached, without a trace of nostalgia.

In Black Wind Stronghold, everyone thought he had met with some misfortune, which, for him, was the perfect opportunity to start a new life. He did not want those he had once called "friends" or "family" to fall into unknown trouble because of him.

"All that has passed is in the past; it is time for a new beginning." Lin Fan smiled faintly, his smile containing both a sense of liberation and determination.

"From this day forward—there is no longer a Lin Fan in this world."

He closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath, having already made his choice.

When he opened his eyes, the clear light in them was now cold and piercing: "My new name is—Lin Chen."

"Chen" represented the faint light before the deepest night, hidden and sharp, symbolizing the brand-new and challenging life she was about to begin.

She murmured softly: "I will definitely carve out my own brilliance in this new world." Her tone carried a hint of self-mockery, as well as an indescribable sense of destiny.

Lin Chen closed her eyes, calming her mind to draw upon the Cultivation Technique Legacy from her eighty-one past lives.

—To enter the Xuanyin Qin Sect, a Sect that only accepted women, she had to truly change the essence of her Physical Body and completely transform into a female; only then could she evade the Qin Sect's spiritual sense probes.

Women's clothing and wigs? Those were merely shallow methods to deceive others.

Spiritual power illusions? They were only temporary stopgap measures.

Only by using the deepest techniques to truly complete the reconstruction of her Physical Body and Soul could she possibly hide her identity and successfully enter the Qin Sect, beginning her brand-new path of cultivation.
