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

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Yan paused in his hand, which was slightly swirling the wine cup. "What I'm about to say is naturally something that Fellow Daoist Wanwan doesn't know."

"However..." Gongsun Yan's gaze darkened as he looked at Zhou Wanwan, then he slowly uttered, "Fellow Daoist Wanwan should have heard the saying, 'If you want to take something, you must first give something.'"

Zhou Wanwan pondered for a long time before coldly saying, "One Foundation Establishment Pill."

After he finished speaking, silence spread between the two of them.

Gongsun Yan was already quite clear that Zhou Wanwan was not someone he could bargain with.

But a Foundation Establishment Pill...

"Fellow Daoist Wanwan, how about this? If you want to find Chunzhu, I'll lend you a hand."

"Once you successfully obtain this pearl, give me the remaining two Foundation Establishment Pills, how about that?"

Zhou Wanwan was about to refuse, saying she could find the Rejuvenating Pearl herself.

However, before she could finish speaking, Gongsun Yan made a "stop" gesture and then slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Wanwan, why don't you hear about the whereabouts of the Rejuvenation Pearl before making a decision?"

"explain."

Gongsun Yan didn't waste any words upon hearing this: "Fellow Daoist Wanwan, the Gong Clan has a Rejuvenation Pearl."

"That's all?" Zhou Wanwan wasn't surprised that the Gong Clan would have a Rejuvenation Pearl, but the Gong Clan had many cultivators. Based on this alone, she really had to consider whether she should halve the amount of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Gongsun Yan chuckled, "Of course not."

"The Spring Pearl is currently in the possession of Gong Wujue, a direct descendant of the Gong Clan of Immortals."

Gong Wujue?

Is it him?

Zhou Wanwan finally understood why Gongsun Yan's expression had been so certain that she would accept his offer of help.

Gong Wujue is a direct descendant of the Gong family. Although Gong Wujue himself is not highly skilled, the cultivators surrounding him are not.

Moreover, she knew that Gong Wujue possessed a rare Heavenly Spiritual Root, which had been damaged due to injury. Given the Gong family's current status, they would naturally spare no effort to find a way to repair Gong Wujue's spiritual root.

Perhaps this spring pearl is one of the methods being tested.

As a result, obtaining the Rejuvenation Pearl from Gong Wujue's body will be even more difficult.

"Fellow Daoist Wanwan, what do you think of my suggestion just now?" Gongsun Yan spoke up at the right time.

Although it was a question, there was no doubt in Gongsun Yan's eyes when he looked at Zhou Wanwan.

Zhou Wanwan didn't think Gongsun Yan would honestly help her, but rather than letting him cause trouble, she might as well do as he said.

"Okay, I promise."

After speaking, she slowly raised her right hand, then clenched it in the air, and a jade bottle containing a Foundation Establishment Pill suddenly appeared in her hand.

She then casually tossed the jade bottle, which landed in front of Gongsun Yan.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wanwan." Gongsun Yan smiled and put away the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Zhou Wanwan ignored Gongsun Yan's polite words and continued, "Since you say you want to help me, what are your plans now?"

"Well..."

Gongsun Yan drew out the last syllable of his words, and in that brief moment, his gaze shifted to the window.

Then Zhou Wanwan saw Gongsun Yan point out the window and say, "That's him."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wanwan followed Gongsun Yan's gaze and saw that he was... Lin Yuan?

"This person is merely a member of the Gong clan, not even close to Gong Wujue."

"What does finding Chun-joo have to do with this person?"

Gongsun Yan smiled upon hearing this, "Fellow Daoist Wanwan, you are unaware of this."

"It is true that this person is from a different family, but I have already found out that he was favored by the ten elders of the Gong family for repairing the mid-grade magic artifact, the Glazed Lamp."

Then Gongsun Yan pointed to Gong Yi, who was walking next to Lin Yuan, "He is also on good terms with the collateral branches of the Gong family, and Gong Yi is also on good terms with the two brothers, Gong Wujue and Gong Yi."

"Don't you think this person is a good starting point?"

It's inconvenient for them to get close to Gong Wujue, but Lin Yuan will definitely find a suitable opportunity.

Thinking of this, a sharp glint flashed in Gongsun Yan's eyes again, "Besides, it's precisely because he's an outsider that..."

It is easier for us to use it.
