Chapter 264 Bargaining

“That’s right, that’s the Origin Qi, the mother body of Immortal Qi. Only by giving birth to it is it possible to cultivate Immortal Qi.”

Beside him, Little Dog also said. It was palm-sized, only slightly taller than Lin Fan’s instep, and had to crane its head to see a person’s face.

“Doesn’t that mean he’s only taken the first step, and cultivating Immortal Qi will be even more difficult from now on?”

Yue Chan was surprised, not expecting cultivating Immortal Qi to be so hard. No wonder from ancient times to the present, those who could achieve it were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns, almost unheard of.

Lin Fan wasn't despairing. His path wasn't finished yet; he had only ignited the fire of the Great Dao of Life and could still advance further.

“Little girl, since he’s fine now, shouldn’t you fulfill your promise and hand over those…”

Little Dog’s eyes showed greed as it stared at the contents of Yue Chan’s qiankun bag. Its two dog paws rubbed together, and saliva was almost drooling out.

“Yue Yue, where did you catch this dog? It’s so small. It’s too small to be a mount, and there’s not much meat if you eat it, right?” Lin Fan teased.

However, before Yue Chan could speak, Little Dog preemptively said in an unfriendly tone: “Woof, human pet, how dare you speak? I am the First Immortal King of Immortal Ancient, so watch your mouth.”

It bared its teeth, its canine teeth stark white and sharp, and wagged its stiff, straight tail that pointed skyward, looking very proud.

Lin Fan was speechless. Had he been in the dark cage for too long? Since when did a Little dog dare to brag in front of him?

“Junior Brother, don’t talk nonsense. This Senior was dug out by me from a secret realm…” Yue Chan transmitted her voice, giving a brief explanation.

In an instant, Lin Fan’s gaze towards Little Dog changed, becoming strange. Wasn’t this the predecessor of that scoundrel dog, Black Emperor?

He remembered that Cao Yusheng was supposed to dig it out decades later, during the era when the world was nearing the end of its Dharma, but now it had happened earlier.

“Human pet, do you know how powerful this King is now? Why don’t you hurry over and worship? Maybe if I’m happy, I’ll take you as a Disciple and pass on a great art to you.”

Little Dog raised its proud head, jumped onto a relatively high boulder, looked down, and howled.

Lin Fan was speechless. It truly lived up to its reputation as that scoundrel dog, behaving exactly as described in the original text, constantly talking about taking human pets.

“Yue Yue, don’t be fooled by it. This is not some Immortal King, but a dog raised by Wu Zhong Immortal King. It was a True Immortal in its previous life.” Lin Fan directly revealed its origin.

Immediately, Little Dog became very puzzled, staring at him and asking: “Human pet, how do you know so much about my affairs?”

Because, according to what it learned from the little girl, the history of the outside world had already been broken, and even the enemies were unknown, so no one should know about it.

“I know more than just a little. During the Two Realms War, you were once pierced through the skull by a war spear and buried in the Reincarnation Land. Now your Dao has greatly diminished, like a newborn.” Lin Fan smiled faintly.

“What? You know that too?!” Little Dog changed its expression for the first time, shook its dark red fur all over, and its eyes became very unfriendly.

At this moment, it regarded Lin Fan as an old monster who had lived another life, otherwise how could he know so much.

Moreover, the other party indeed felt very strange to it, as if it had seen him somewhere, and that time must have been in Immortal Ancient.

Thinking of this, Little Dog was on high alert. After all, it had offended too many people in its previous life, and in a situation where it didn't know if the other party was a friend or foe, it had to be cautious.

“You misunderstood!” Lin Fan smiled, casting a precious art. Runes flickered in the Void Realm, and a golden willow tree, incomparably sacred, appeared.

Seeing this, Little Dog was immediately shocked, its voice trembling as it said: “This is… Zu Ji Ling’s Art!”

Then, it continued to ask: “How do you have that adult’s Art? Could it be that you are her Disciple and have received her Legacy?”

“No, she is my mother, and I am her son.”

Lin Fan said, the golden willow tree shrinking into a willow branch wrapped around his arm. The Qi of life was vast, making him seem extraordinary.

That’s right, he had cultivated the Liu Shen Art, the Art of Life.

Besides possessing terrifying offensive power, its healing ability was also quite strong, not weaker than his own innate talent.

Once this Art was cultivated, his own life essence would be inexhaustible, and his blood Qi would surge like a Ten Vicious in the world.

It could be said that this was a complete transformation. Coupled with his own Divine Ability, as long as he didn’t suffer a fatal injury, he would basically be very difficult to kill.

“Impossible! Zu Ji Ling is a willow tree, and you are a pure Human Race. How could you be her son?”

Little Dog shook its head firmly, its big eyes staring, as if saying, “You can’t fool me, don’t treat me like an idiot.”

“Isn’t an adopted son also a son?” Lin Fan smiled slyly.

Little Dog was stunned. Could it be played like this?

However, it believed him somewhat. After all, Divine Ability couldn't be faked, and the Karma of an Immortal King giant wasn't that easy to bear.

At this moment, Little Dog imagined a lot. No wonder the other party knew so much; he actually had the identity of an Immortal King’s adopted son.

In an instant, its eyes lit up as it thought of something, shouting: “Then does that mean Senior Zu Ji Ling is still alive?”

Lin Fan nodded.

“That’s right, in that battle back then, Senior Zu Ji Ling was far away in the Boundary Sea and hadn’t returned yet, so she must have lived until this era.”

Little Dog began to talk to itself, with a hint of joy, and then its expression towards Lin Fan changed, no longer showing contempt or hostility.

At the same time, hearing the conversation between the two, Yue Chan was surprised. Her Junior Brother had suddenly transformed into the descendant of an Immortal King?

That's awesome!

“Since we’re all on the same side, that makes things easier. I’ve just woken up and urgently need some Heaven And Earth Treasure to recover. Please, human… Fellow Daoist, help me out and lend me an Elixir of Life. I will repay you generously in the future.” Little Dog said earnestly.

Lin Fan’s mouth twitched. This dog really dared to ask for it!

Elixirs of Life, formed from the remains of dead Immortal Kings, were few and far between in the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; they could be counted on one's fingers.

Moreover, was that something a mere Cultivator of the Divine Flame Realm like him had the ability to obtain or possess?

“A hundred or eighty Divine Medicines will do too.” Little Dog's words were again astounding.

Lin Fan wanted to vomit blood. A hundred or eighty, did it really think Divine Medicines were like common cabbages growing everywhere? He himself only had one true Divine Medicine so far, and that was obtained by scheming against the Immortal Palace.

“Fellow Daoist, your request is too much. I don’t even have one Divine Medicine right now.”

“What? You’re not an Immortal King’s adopted son, and you don’t even have Divine Medicine?” Little Dog was suspicious, its big eyes darting, staring at Lin Fan’s face, trying to discern something.

“What’s wrong with being an Immortal King’s adopted son? Who said an Immortal King’s adopted son has to be very rich? Can’t we rely on our own efforts?” Lin Fan retorted, speaking with conviction.

Furthermore, even if he had these things, he wouldn’t lend them to this dog, because it was a creature that specifically preyed on acquaintances.

Any good thing that went into its mouth was like throwing meat buns to a dog—it would never come back.

“Then give me some Immortal Spring essence, a few dozen drops will do. That little girl just took out one drop earlier.” Little Dog compromised.

Lin Fan’s forehead was covered in black lines as he looked at the graceful and elegant Yue Chan, inevitably complaining, “How could you reveal your family fortune?”

“I was worried about you, wasn’t I? At that time, there was only this dog here, so I had no choice but to ask for its help.”

Yue Chan transmitted her voice, playfully blinking her beautiful eyes. Amidst her serenity, there was an astonishing charm that was peerless in the world.

“No, not a single drop left. The remaining few drops are of great use to me.”
