Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 264 Bargaining
"That's right, that is the primordial energy, the mother of immortal energy. Only after it is born can one cultivate immortal energy."

The puppy beside him also said that it was about the size of a palm, only slightly taller than Lin Fan's instep, and he had to tilt his head back to see people's faces.

"Doesn't that mean he's only taken the first step, and it will be even more difficult for him to cultivate immortal energy in the future?"

Yuechan was surprised, never expecting that cultivating immortality would be so difficult. No wonder that from ancient times to the present, those who could achieve it were extremely rare, almost unheard of.

Lin Fan was not in despair. His journey was not yet over. He had only just ignited the flame of the Great Dao of Life and could still move forward.

“Little girl, now that he's alright, shouldn't you keep your promise and take those…”

The puppy stared greedily at the contents of Yuechan's Qiankun bag, rubbing its paws together, its mouth practically watering.

"Yueyue, where did you catch this dog? It's so small, too small to be a mount, and it won't even have much meat to eat," Lin Fan teased.

However, before Yuechan could speak, the puppy interrupted rudely, "Woof, human pet, how can you talk like that? I am the number one Immortal King of the Immortal Ancient Era, watch your mouth."

It grinned, revealing its gleaming white canines, and swung its stiff, straight tail toward the sky, looking very proud.

Lin Fan was dumbfounded. Had he been in that dark cage for too long? When did a little dog dare to boast in front of him?

"Junior brother, don't talk nonsense. I dug this senior out in a secret place..." Yuechan transmitted her voice, giving a simple explanation.

In an instant, Lin Fan's gaze towards the puppy changed, becoming strange. Wasn't this the predecessor of the scoundrel Black Emperor?
He remembered that Cao Yusheng was supposed to unearth it decades later, in the era when the world was nearing its end, but it was discovered earlier than expected.

"Human pet, now you know how powerful I am, why don't you hurry up and come and worship me? Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll take you as my disciple and teach you the great magic."

The puppy raised its proud head, jumped onto a relatively high rock, looked down, and howled.

Lin Fan was speechless. He really lived up to his reputation as that despicable dog, just like the one described in the original text, always talking about being pampered.

"Yueyue, don't be fooled by it. This isn't some Immortal King; it's just a dog raised by the Immortal King Wuzhong. In its previous life, it was a True Immortal," Lin Fan said, revealing its origins directly.

This immediately puzzled the puppy, who stared at him and asked, "Human pet, how do you know so much about me?"

According to what it learned from the little girl, the outside world's history has been disrupted, and even the enemy is unaware of it, so no one should know about it.

"I know more than just a little. During the war between the two realms, your skull was pierced by a spear and you were buried in the land of reincarnation. Now, your cultivation has been greatly reduced, as if you have been reborn." Lin Fan smiled faintly.

"What?! You know that too?!" The puppy's expression changed for the first time, shaking its dark red fur and its eyes were very hostile.

At this moment, it regarded Lin Fan as some old monster who had been reborn, otherwise how could it know so much?

Moreover, the other party gave it a very strange feeling, as if it had seen it somewhere before, and the time must be ancient times.

Thinking of this, the puppy felt as if it were facing a formidable enemy. After all, it had offended too many people in its previous life, and it had to be cautious when it didn't know whether they were friends or foes.

"You've misunderstood!" Lin Fan smiled, used his magic technique, and runes flashed in the void, revealing a golden willow tree that was incredibly sacred.

Upon seeing this, the puppy was immediately shocked, its voice trembling as it said, "This is... the magic of the ancestral spirit!"

Then it continued to ask, "How do you know that person's magic? Could it be that you are her disciple and have received her inheritance?"

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

As Lin Fan spoke, the golden willow tree shrank, turning into a willow branch that wrapped around his arm, exuding a powerful aura of life and appearing extraordinary.

That's right, he mastered the Willow God Technique, the Technique of Life.

Besides possessing terrifying attack power, its healing ability is also quite strong, no less than the effects of its own talent.

Once this method is mastered, one's life essence will be inexhaustible, and one's blood and energy will surge forth, as if the Ten Fiends were alive. It can be said that this is a transformative change, and coupled with his own divine arts, as long as he is not fatally wounded, he is basically hard to kill.

"Impossible! The ancestral spirit is a willow tree, while you are a pure human. How could you possibly be her son?"

The puppy shook its head firmly, staring intently with its big eyes, as if to say, "Don't try to fool me, don't treat me like a fool."

"Isn't an adopted son also a son?" Lin Fan smiled slyly.

The puppy was stunned. You can play like that?

However, it believed it to some extent, after all, supernatural powers cannot be faked, and the karma of a Celestial King is not so easy to bear.

At that moment, the puppy imagined many things. No wonder the other party knew so much; he even had the identity of the adopted son of the Immortal King.

In an instant, its eyes lit up, as if it had thought of something, and it exclaimed, "Doesn't that mean the Ancestral Sacrifice Spirit is still here?"

Lin Fan nodded.

"That's right. In that battle back then, the Ancestral Sacrifice Spirit was far away in the Boundary Sea and had not yet returned. He must have lived to this era."

The puppy 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 moment, upon hearing the conversation between the two, Yuechan was startled. Her junior brother had suddenly transformed into the offspring of an immortal prince?

That's awesome!

"Since we're all on the same side, that makes things easier. I've just woken up and urgently need some rare and precious herbs to recover. I would like to ask for your help... fellow Daoist, to lend me a longevity elixir. I will repay you handsomely in the future." The puppy said earnestly.

Lin Fan's lips twitched. This dog really dared to ask for it!

The elixir of immortality was transformed from the body of a celestial king after his death. There are very few of them in the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; they can be counted on one hand.

Besides, how could a minor cultivator like him, who only knows divine fire, possibly grasp and possess it?
"Even a hundred or two hundred divine herbs will do." The puppy once again made a shocking statement.

Lin Fan felt like vomiting blood. A hundred or two hundred plants? Did they really think divine herbs were as common as cabbages? He only had one true divine herb, and that was after he schemed against the Immortal Palace.

"Fellow Daoist, your request is excessive. I do not have a single divine herb at the moment."

"What? You're not the adopted son of the Immortal King, and you don't even have the divine medicine?" The puppy asked suspiciously, its big eyes darting around as it stared at Lin Fan's face, trying to discern something.

"So what if he's the adopted son of a Celestial King? Who says the adopted son of a Celestial King has to be rich? Can't we make our own way in the world?" Lin Fan retorted, speaking with conviction.

Furthermore, even if he had these things, he wouldn't lend them to this dog, because it's a dog that preys on people he knows well.

Any good food that enters its mouth is like throwing a meat bun to a dog—it's gone forever.

"Then give me some Immortal Spring Essence, just a few dozen drops will do. This little girl only took out one drop before." The puppy settled for second best.

Lin Fan's forehead was covered in black lines. He looked at the graceful Yue Chan and couldn't help but complain, "Why did you reveal your family's wealth?"

"I was worried about you. This was the only dog ​​around, so I had to ask it for help."

Yuechan's voice rang out as she playfully blinked her beautiful eyes, exuding a captivating charm that was absolutely stunning.

"No, not a single drop is left. I have a great use for the few remaining drops."
