Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 268 The way forward
A miraculous medicine that could grant endless lifespan and defy fate was actually eaten by a dog; it deserves to be struck by lightning.

Lin Fan stared at it angrily. At that moment, he suddenly had a craving for dog meat, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.

Meanwhile, even the usually peaceful and serene Yuechan felt that this dog was wasting a rare treasure.

"Woof, I was robbed and have now been dug out. If I don't take the elixir of immortality, I won't live much longer. There's nothing I can do about it."

The puppy explained and blamed the two of them for interrupting its metamorphosis and being born prematurely.

"Besides, the roots of this herb are still there, and it will bear new immortal fruits sooner or later. You two have plenty of lifespan now, so you have plenty of time to wait."

Hearing this, Lin Fan and Yue Chan's expressions softened, and they began to examine the trembling elixir.

"Don't eat me. I can give you a continuous supply of longevity elixir every now and then..."

The elixir emitted a divine voice, immediately begging for mercy, and then explained to them that the benefits of being alive would be even greater.

If planted in a place, it can transform ordinary land into immortal soil, gathering Purple Mansion Liquid, Earth Marrow, and so on, and can also be used to find treasures.

The two were astonished. As expected of a medicine of this caliber, apart from being unable to cultivate or fight, it possessed intelligence no different from that of a living being and had a variety of wonderful uses.

Furthermore, it was surrounded by a rich aura of immortality, surging with divine light, emanating a hazy immortal mist, and showering with light rain.

"Hmm, this is..." Lin Fan was taken aback. The immortal energy within him was nourished by this energy and suddenly became crystal clear.

"How comfortable! No wonder ancient books record that simply having the elixir by one's side is a great fortune!"

Lin Fan was shaken. Absorbing the aura of the immortal path above would solidify the foundation of his newly cultivated immortal energy.

Before long, his immortal energy became thicker and more solid, imbued with the aura of the Great Dao, as if it were undergoing a baptism.

"You don't have to eat it, but you must follow me from now on."

Lin Fan took out an ancient cauldron containing all-purpose soil, which was colorful and could nourish all things, especially plants.

Moreover, his sacred medicines and divine medicines had already been planted in it, and their growth and maturation speed was greatly accelerated.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, the elixir transformed into a small blue tortoise, which took root inside and began to nurture new elixir fruits.

Of course, this process will not be short; it will take at least several thousand years to produce results that allow people to achieve near immortality.

Fortunately, Lin Fan could wait. Compared to cultivators, his life was just beginning and he was still in his infancy.

"Um... shouldn't I get a share of the longevity elixir? After all, we couldn't have caught it without my hard work."

The puppy was reluctant to leave, staring at the elixir with its mouth watering.

Lin Fan was speechless. This damned dog was truly insatiable. Having obtained the most precious immortal fruit, he still coveted the others.

However, he ignored it, determined not to let the dog cause any more trouble. He then put away the bone cauldron and the chaotic magic artifact, turned around, and left with Yuechan.

"Let's go, there's still a pool of liquid at the foot of the cliff that's been used to soak longevity herbs, we can't waste it!"

Finally, they practiced directly at the foot of the cliff, soaking in the pool, which had the effect of cleansing their primordial spirit and purifying their physical body.

As for the puppy, it originally wanted to join in, but Lin Fan disliked it, so he took a small amount and sent it elsewhere.

What would it look like if a dog joined in while he and Yuechan were taking a bath together?
"Kid, that's racism!" the puppy cursed, angrily searching for another place to seclude himself and refine the elixir he had ingested.

To avoid being spied on and to prevent the leakage of vital energy, Lin Fan specially set up a magic array, his intention to guard against that dog was obvious.

Next, the two began their cultivation, taking out the elixir of immortality and soaking their entire bodies in the precious liquid, absorbing the immortal energy within, which made their efforts twice as effective. "Huh, we can go even further and reach perfection," Lin Fan exclaimed in surprise.

Unexpectedly, while cultivating with the elixir, the wisp of immortal energy surrounding my body could become even thicker and more sacred.

At this moment, endless rain of light fell, which he continuously absorbed into his body, nourishing his flesh, bones, and internal organs.

Several days later, Lin Fan became certain that the immortal mist emitted by the elixir of immortality was useless, and that his own immortal energy had reached its limit and could no longer be strengthened.

"If I want to gain anything more, I can only cultivate a second strand of immortal energy." Lin Fan opened his eyes and pondered seriously.

To achieve godhood through unconventional means and cultivate immortal energy is, in essence, to plant one's own path. However, one can only cultivate one path at a time; a second path requires finding a completely different way.

This "unconventional path" can refer to further refining or expanding upon the existing path.

For example, Shi Hao ignited the Three Thousand Dao Fires to become a god, and then used the myriad Daos of the heavens as fire to cultivate a second immortal aura.

"So what should I do?" Lin Fan muttered to himself.

His true form will not be fused with any external objects; everything must be cultivated by himself to avoid being restricted.

At this moment, he looked at the immortal seed he had obtained a few years ago, which not only contained the power of reincarnation but also the laws of time.

"Without taking that step and cultivating a strand of immortal energy, it seems impossible to absorb the aura of the immortal path." Yuechan also woke up and sighed softly.

She cultivated here, constantly drawing immortal mist into her body. Although it could nourish her physical body and primordial spirit, it could not be retained and would eventually dissipate.

"I also need to work hard, go into seclusion to comprehend the Dao, and take another step forward."

She was very quiet, but she also understood that taking that step was too difficult. Throughout history, successful people are one in a million, as rare as phoenix feathers.

However, Yuechan remained confident, as the Azure Moon Flame illuminated her path, making it increasingly clear.

"No rush, I'll protect you. Take your time," Lin Fan teased.

Yuechan rolled her eyes at him. She wasn't some accessory, nor did she want to be a little woman who only hid in the background.

"Perhaps I should merge with Qingyi. The chances of cultivating immortal energy will be higher, and I might even rise directly to the heavens?" she pondered, her true form reaching perfection.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan quickly advised, "It's too early. You're only at the Divine Fire Realm now. Wait until you reach the Sect Master level before fusing; the results will be even greater."

"Really? But I get the feeling you don't mean that. You seem to be against me merging with my secondary body?"

Women generally have strong intuition, which made Yuechan suspect that this guy had ill intentions.

In addition, Qingyi's unexplained departure from the lower realm and her disappearance are likely related to Lin Fan.

"Yueyue, I'm doing this all for your own good. Just think about it, if you and Qingyi both cultivate immortal energy and each have three paths, how powerful would the fusion be then!" Lin Fan said righteously.

"That seems to be true. Then let's wait a bit longer and let Qingyi participate in the upcoming Three Thousand Provinces War to compete for the ultimate destiny."

Yuechan was moved, and a hint of expectation appeared on her beautiful face.

Furthermore, although she did not retain the aura of immortality, she still received great benefits from soaking in the pool, and her physical body was as if it had been baptized.

At this moment, her snow-white skin was flawless, as delicate as mutton fat jade, and every inch of it was becoming increasingly translucent.

As it swayed, an irresistible allure drew Lin Fan's attention, stirring his desire and causing his divine fire to burn ever brighter.

"what……"
