Chapter 98: Chapter 93: The Celestial Doctor Has an Immortal Scripture
Translator: 549690339
The white-haired old man seemed somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t recall where he had seen him before.
Like a benevolent grandfather next door, he felt approachable and amiable.
One couldn’t help but develop a liking for him.
Of course, Lin Fan didn’t think that the man was an ordinary person.
Without a doubt, the man’s cultivation was incredibly high, far beyond Lin Fan’s current sense.
Thus, Lin Fan became more wary.
He paid his respects: “Greetings, senior.”
The white-haired old man laughed heartily in response: “No need to be so formal, I’m just a damned old man who hasn’t died yet.”
After a pause, he kindly asked, “Are you the one delivering ‘The Cloud and Water Scroll’?”
Li Fan nodded and then passed over the seven-colour model.
The white-haired old man took the miniature Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters and examined it closely, a look of infinite nostalgia appeared in his eyes.
“Yes, this is it.”
“Hanhai, Taiyi, Fu Yun… ”
“Long time no see.”
Seemingly lost in memories, the old man’s eyes became somewhat murky.
Upon hearing the old man’s words, Lin Fan’s heart skipped a beat.
He stood silently to the side, not daring to act rashly.
From the gist of his words, was this old man of the same generation as the Turtle-Snake Taiyi?
The destruction of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters was a matter from countless years ago. This guy actually managed to live until now?
After the Great Calamity, cultivators were generally targeted by Heaven and Earth’s malice.
They couldn’t live as long as the cultivators of the ancient times.
Living for a thousand years was already extremely difficult.
What level of cultivation would it take to live for so long?
God Transformation? Unity-Path?
Lin Fan dared not speculate wildly, only becoming more cautious in his heart.
In this world where Immortal Law can’t be cultivated together, he had lived from the Great Calamity until now.
Such a boss…
If one really thought that he would be as “benevolent” as he appeared, it would be too naive.
The white-haired old man saw a somewhat nervous Lin Fan and chuckled.
“What is the situation inside the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters now?” he asked.
Lin Fan then detailed everything about Qin Tang who had turned into a stone statue, Insect Sage who refined her own body for Alchemy, and Taiyi who was filled with broken swords.
“If not for special reasons, I can’t enter the Celestial Palace of Clouds and
Waters. I wouldn’t just sit by and watch them suffer.”
After a lengthy silence, the old man let out a profound sigh.
“Being able to come out alive from the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters, you’re rather vigilant.” After appraising Lin Fan, the old man showed approval.
“It was just sheer luck.” Lin Fan modestly replied.
“I have a commission for you, are you willing?” The white-haired old man suddenly asked.
“Please feel free to tell me, senior.”
“If you have time, make another trip to the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters for me and leave this item there.” The white-haired old man took out a small white jade statue and handed it to Lin Fan.
There was no special aura from the white jade statue, it seemed to be just a
common jade carving.
The appearance of the statue was exactly the same as the white-haired old man in front of him.
“Since I can’t enter the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters myself, let this statue accompany them in my place.”
“As for the reward…”
The white-haired old man pondered for a moment, and pointed at Lin Fan’s forehead.
In an instant, countless pieces of information appeared in Lin Fan’s spirit consciousness.
Even with Lin Fan’s mid-stage energy refining consciousness strength, he still felt dizzy, his head throbbing.
When he regained himself, the figure of the white-haired old man had already disappeared from the Tianxuan Mirror.
And the hundred thousand contribution points had already successfully been creulteu.
Slowly sorting out the massive information in his mind, it took a long time for Li Fan to understand what the reward given by the white-haired old man was.
“The Immortal Scripture of the Heavenly Physician”.
It wasn’t a cultivation technique, but a medical scripture.
It covers the study of human physiology, pathology, diagnosis, treatment, and medicine.
Its research objects even include all types of animals and plants between
Heaven and Earth.
Covering every aspect, all-knowing.
The vast amount of information it contained was so immense that Lin Fan estimated that just reading through it once would take at least a decade.
This vast and valuable treasury of knowledge was casually passed on to Lin Fan by the white-haired old man.
“While it’s a good thing, it’s too energy-consuming to study. It will have to be put aside for now.”
Lin Fan didn’t dare neglect the commission from the white-haired old man.
After all, the big shot had already paid the reward in advance.
Lin Fan then made another trip to the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters.
He initially thought that upon his clone entering again, he would have to go through Brother Qin Tang’s illusion dream test again.
However, after the statue in his storage ring emitted a white light, Lin Fan directly appeared in front of the gates of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters.
The statue of the old man then detached itself from Lin Fan’s storage ring and flew into the sky.
It then dissolved slowly and disappeared like melting ice and snow.
“Is this task considered done? It went smoothly and it was too easy,” Lin Fan murmured to himself.
After waiting for a while, there was no unusual occurrence within the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters.
“Not sure what use the statue has.”
Unable to figure out any intricacies, Lin Fan had no choice but to leave.
Safely back in the TianXuan Mirror, Lin Fan looked at his balance of a hundred thousand contribution points and fell into deep thought.
Originally, Lin Fan planned to exchange the contribution points for the necessary techniques and treasures, and give them to his real self once his clone had earned the hundred thousand contribution points.
Just like Xiao Heng exchanged the “Small Yan Water Technique” and sent it to Li Fan in his previous life.
After seeing the white-haired old man, however, Li Fan dismissed the idea.
At present, it seems best to avoid any connection between his clone and his actual self.
This white-haired old man gave Li Fan a feeling of extreme danger.
At present, the clone has already fallen into his sights.
If his real self and clone make rash contact, and he finds out their connection.
Considering the extraordinary nature of “The Secret of Swapping Day and Night”, even if the white-haired old man had a high level of cultivation, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t be tempted.
After all, in this dangerous Immortal Cultivation World, people can be refined into a Natural Treasure.
One can never be too cautious.
As for whether these hundred thousand contribution points will go to waste and remain unused in the clone’s hands.
There’s absolutely no need to worry.
Above all, in this world, the most valuable thing is knowledge of all kinds, including cultivation techniques!
As the clone browses various pieces of knowledge, it is equivalent to the real self reading at the same time.
Therefore, whether the hundred thousand contribution points are used by the clone or the actual self, the effect is the same.
Having made up his mind, Lin Fan first searched for information related to the “Ancient War”.
When he was inside the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters, he was quite interested in the frontline war mentioned repeatedly by Qin Tang and the Insect Sage.
The war seemed quite fierce, leaving an indelible impression on them even after they had transformed.
Soon, Lin Fan found some fragmentary bits of information.
Unfortunately, it seemed that due to the incident being too long ago, all the related records were vague.
The only certain thing was the existence of such a grand war.
This war seemed to last for an extended period, beginning even before the Immortal Sage began spreading his teachings.
It continued until the Great Calamity arrived when it was finally ended. Next, Lin Fan also searched for information related to Natural Treasures..
