Lying about Liu San

Liu San frowned slightly upon hearing this: "Why is Young Lord so flustered? As Cultivators, even if mountains and seas collapse before us, our expressions should remain unchanged…"

"Our plan to escape the Xuanhuang World has failed," Li Fan interrupted him.

"Hm?" Liu San's expression suddenly changed.

"Foster Father… sacrificed himself to save us," Li Fan continued.

"What?!"

Liu San stood frozen in place, as if struck by a bolt of lightning.

"Master…"

"How is this possible?"

His body trembling slightly, Liu San's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Li Fan continued to shock his nerves: "While we were asleep, thousands of years have passed in the outside world."

"Ah?"

"How could this be?"

Liu San looked at Li Fan somewhat blankly.

Grief, shock, bewilderment…

For a moment, Liu San felt his mind was in a mess.

He felt that all the shocks he had experienced from the beginning of his cultivation until now combined were not as much as what he felt today alone.

However, Liu San did not realize that even these seemingly absurd words, when spoken by Li Fan, the "Young Lord," at this moment, he did not have the slightest doubt.

Let alone a Dao Integration cultivator, even a teenage Mortal would not be so gullible.

But this happened to Liu San.

"The principle of Everlasting Life is truly terrifying," Li Fan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In order to better control Liu San, this Dao Integration cultivator, Li Fan not only instilled the information that he was Liu Yihang of the Medicine King Sect into the [real temptation fruit], but also added settings such as "Liu San has extreme trust in Liu Yihang."

This was to ensure that nothing went wrong.

After all, even an ancient Dao Integration cultivator was not something Li Fan, who only had Nascent Soul cultivation, could contend with.

Next, if he wanted to smoothly take over the Medicine King Sect, he had to firmly control Liu San.

There are currently six Dao Integration cultivators slumbering in the Medicine King True Cauldron, and the reason Li Fan chose Liu San was because he valued his "loyalty."

His identity could be seen from his addressing "Liu Yihang" as "Young Lord."

Liu San was an orphan whom Liu Ruchen had accidentally saved years ago.

He grew up with Liu Ruchen from a young age, and all his cultivation and Cultivation Technique were personally taught by Liu Ruchen.

It could be said that between Liu Ruchen and him, they were both master and servant, and master and disciple.

Liu San was also a person who valued affection and righteousness and knew how to repay kindness. Even after he achieved success in cultivation and entered the Dao Integration realm, Liu Ruchen had advised him many times.

But he always considered himself an "old servant" and was loyal to Liu Ruchen.

And Liu Ruchen also valued him more and more. When he traveled outside, Liu San would handle all the usual affairs of the Medicine King Sect.

Such a person, even if his strength was only average among the six Dao Integration cultivators, was the first person Li Fan considered controlling.

These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. Facing Liu San's bewildered inquiry, Li Fan also showed a sorrowful expression: "Alas, follow me. Old Liu, you will know once you see…"

Then, Li Fan led Liu San to the Medicine King Cauldron's central control room and played him the footage of the Medicine King Cauldron's encounter after flying out of the Xuanhuang World, as well as Liu Ruchen's self-sacrifice to save the lives of the entire sect.

"Sect Master!"

Liu San, a man of his stature, actually burst into tears and wailed on the spot.

Li Fan stood by, silent the whole time.

Only after Liu San slowly reined in his inner grief did Li Fan continue to play Liu Ruchen's last words.

Listening to Liu Ruchen's last words before his death, Liu San's eyes welled up again.

But he no longer cried out, listening carefully to every word, as if to engrave them in his heart forever.

The will's image disappeared. After a long time, Liu San finally managed to pull himself together.

"Immortal Dao Ten Sects…" he gritted his teeth.

Li Fan, seeing this, sighed slightly: "The Immortal Dao Ten Sects are indeed hateful, but now, even if we want to seek revenge on them, I'm afraid we are powerless."

Liu San was stunned: "Young Lord, what do you mean by that? Wait, you just said that thousands of years have passed in the outside world?"

Li Fan nodded: "That's right. After I woke up, I went out to investigate and only then discovered that although we only circled outside the Immortal Ruins, several millennia had passed within the Xuanhuang World."

"The Immortal Dao Ten Sects of the past have long since vanished into thin air, disappearing into the long river of history. Now, the Cultivation World is dominated by two behemoths: the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Old Men Association."

Li Fan began to introduce Liu San to the current news he had "inquired" about.

As expected of a Dao Integration cultivator, after the initial shock, Liu San quickly accepted the current situation.

"Young Lord is still too reckless. He actually went out alone to gather information when the situation was unclear. Now you bear the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Medicine King Sect. If you encounter any danger…"

Li Fan waved his hand: "Urgent matters call for urgent measures. What I thought at the time was that the Medicine King Cauldron's return would definitely attract the covetousness of those with ulterior motives. The first choice, of course, was to figure out our own situation first."

"Besides, it's not that I didn't want to wake you all up. It's just that…"

Li Fan's expression suddenly turned grave: "Old Liu, try to circulate the World Saving Everlasting Life Scripture and see."

Liu San, though somewhat puzzled, did as he was told.

A moment later.

His face was pale, his eyes closed, desperately trying to control the killing intent in his heart.

"This is?"

His voice trembled slightly, showing the turmoil in his heart.

"The great tribulation of heaven and earth, Cultivation Techniques cannot be cultivated together."

"Foster Father's premonition was correct, and the tribulation is even more terrifying than imagined."

Li Fan sighed deeply: "Even the Immortal Dao Ten Sects were annihilated in the great tribulation, and only our Medicine King Sect survived."

"This is also why I haven't woken up the sect members. If they all woke up at the same time, I'm afraid it would be a tragic spectacle of mutual slaughter on the spot."

"Actually, it was only after a long time, and after changing my Cultivation Technique, that I woke you up, Old Liu."

Liu San suppressed the fear in his heart and nodded: "In that case, Young Lord's consideration was indeed thorough."

"The place we are currently in is called Congyun Sea. I was fortunate enough to meet Zhou Qingang, the Cultivator who manages the local government here."

"With his help, I infiltrated the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Now I can be considered to have barely established a foothold."

Li Fan slowly introduced Liu San to the current situation.

"If it's just the two of us, in this current world, wanting to live well shouldn't be difficult."

"But to revitalize the Medicine King Sect…"

Li Fan sighed slightly and shook his head: "It's extremely difficult!"

"The first thing to solve is the problem of Cultivation Techniques not being able to be cultivated together. Otherwise, even if we wake up the sect members, it will only lead to more slaughter."

"Although there are countless Cultivation Techniques in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, they require a large number of contribution points to exchange."

"Although I've worked hard for a while, I've only just managed to exchange for a Cultivation Technique sufficient for my own cultivation."

"So…"

Liu San heard this and looked thoughtful.

"Longevity Pill?"

He asked.

There's another chapter at 12:30. I'll owe you the one I missed yesterday. I overestimated myself.
