Only after becoming emperor did he realize he was in a fantasy world of immortal cultivation.

After announcing the final result, Yu Xianchang left the main hall with a flick of his sleeve.

Everyone rose and said, "Respectfully seeing off the immortal."

Gong De then walked a few steps to Lin Yuan's desk, his gaze lingering on the refining materials that Lin Yuan had purified.

"We all completed the purification process, so why did you the only one pass?"

Even as he asked the question, Gong De's gaze remained fixed on the table.

Gong Wujue was sitting in front of Lin Yuan. Upon hearing this, he turned around.

"That's right." However, Gong Wujue's tone sounded much more casual.

As he spoke, he placed one hand on the pile of white substance on Lin Yuan's desk, and in the next instant, a flash of inspiration struck him.

A moment later, Gong Wujue, having finished casting the perception spell, shrugged. "It seems there's not much difference between what I purified and what I used."

Lin Yuan sat upright at the table, facing numerous questions, and simply smiled, "What the two gentlemen are thinking is also something I don't understand."

"But I think that since Master Yu has made this decision, he must have his reasons."

"If the two gentlemen want to know, they might as well find an opportunity to ask Immortal Master Yu."

Having said that, he stood up and bowed, "Gentlemen, if there is nothing else, please allow me to take my leave."

After leaving the main hall, Lin Yuan thought for a moment and decided to go to the market.

However, they ran into Zhou Wanwan on the way.

It was clearly not a chance encounter.

He led his men to a pavilion on the water.

"When do you plan to retrieve the Rejuvenation Pearl?" Zhou Wanwan asked Lin Yuan directly.

Lin Yuan slowly poured Zhou Wanwan a cup of tea and placed it in front of her.

"No rush," Lin Yuan said calmly.

A cold glint flashed in Zhou Wanwan's eyes.

"Could it be..." Zhou Wanwan glanced sideways, her tone soft, her voice melodious yet tinged with coldness, "You're lying to us?"

The surrounding temperature seemed to drop suddenly.

Lin Yuan remained calm amidst the chaos.

They even have the leisure to sip some spiritual tea to "warm up."

Then, under Zhou Wanwan's displeased gaze, he slowly put down his teacup and met her eyes, saying, "What makes you say that, Fellow Daoist Zhou?"

Zhou Wanwan: "There's no such thing as 'best,' but if you don't know what's good for you..."

"How could I?" Lin Yuan rubbed his fingertips on a spot in the teacup, answering earnestly, "How could I dare to lie to Fellow Daoist Zhou and Fellow Daoist Gongsun?"

"I want to see the Rejuvenation Pearl in half a month." Zhou Wanwan's cold face was covered with frost. She didn't listen to Lin Yuan's earlier words about not being in a hurry and directly gave a deadline.

After speaking, she picked up the teacup that Lin Yuan had just placed in front of her without changing her expression.

But he showed no intention of drinking.

It was only half-raised.

Then, under Lin Yuan's gaze, he gently grasped her hand.

In an instant, the cup and water transformed into spiritual light.

Then Zhou Wanwan's flat voice rang out: "Otherwise, you wouldn't want to know the consequences."

After saying that, he got up and left.

As Lin Yuan watched Zhou Wanwan's retreating figure, the smile on his lips gradually faded.

"Half a month?"

That's quite a rush.

It seems that Zhou Wanwan wants this Spring Pearl more than Gongsun Yan.

Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze and looked at the calm, waveless lake surface.

as a result of?

I want you to know the consequences of threatening me.

Zhou Wanwan hadn't gone far when Gongsun Yan emerged from behind a tree.

"Fellow Daoist Wanwan went to see Fellow Daoist Lin alone. Could it be that you have some plan that I cannot hear about?" Gongsun Yan said with a smile.

"Hmph," Zhou Wanwan said, arms crossed, her tone dismissive. "A plan?"

"What plans do you think Lin Yuan might have now?"

Gongsun Yan quickly replied, "That's true."

"Times have changed," Gongsun Yan said thoughtfully. "Fellow Daoist Lin is currently favored by Immortal Yu, so he may not be willing to risk retrieving the Rejuvenation Pearl for us."

"However..." Gongsun Yan smiled faintly, then said, "I think he wouldn't dare to play tricks on us."
