Chapter 206: Chapter 203: I Can Take the Trouble to Test the Medicine for You

Lin Fan’s exclamation was like a sudden thunderclap, nearly making them jump out of their seats.

Huang Lier, as a beautiful lady with a strong sense of curiosity, was deeply intrigued. What exactly was this object that caused such a reaction from him? His horrified expression clearly pointed to its extraordinary nature.

The gaunt master asked, "Master Lin, what exactly is this object?"

Mao Si followed up, "Master Lin, please enlighten us. The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion will certainly offer you significant rewards for your expertise."

Lin Fan stood with his hands behind his back, perfectly still. The expression on his face was unusually dramatic—so much so that even the finest actors would admit defeat before him.

"It’s terrifying... truly terrifying," he muttered.

"My Dao Heart can barely endure the shock from this object’s impact."

Ignoring the expectant gazes of the crowd, Lin Fan nonchalantly took a seat and waved his hand dramatically, "Quick, bring me Immortal Tea to stabilize my Dao Heart."

The gaunt master hastily exclaimed, "Why are you all standing idle? Didn’t you hear Master Lin? Bring the finest tea immediately!"

What followed was a flurry of activity.

The identification masters sprang into action—those in charge of tea leaves fetched the finest ones, while others took care of boiling water.

Lin Fan gave his chest a gentle pat, as if trying to calm himself from a great shock. The look of fright in his previously calm eyes was unmistakable.

This wasn’t something that could be faked.

If it could, then the person showcasing such acting skills must have attained an unparalleled mastery of their craft.

Lin Fan’s body trembled slightly. "This object has an extraordinarily deep background, tracing back to ancient times. Just thinking about its terrifying origins makes my muscles stiffen—quick, come help loosen them for me."

The crowd around him was dumbfounded by what he said.

They exchanged unsure glances.

Was he speaking the truth or not?

Why did it all seem so dreadfully ominous?

Nevertheless, the identification masters from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion obediently knelt by Lin Fan’s legs to massage them, while others worked on his shoulders.

The premium tea was soon brought forth. Its dense Spiritual Energy and divine aroma filled the air. Even a slight whiff made it obvious that this tea was no ordinary beverage—rather, it was of the highest grade.

Sold elsewhere, its value would undoubtedly be astronomical.

Huang Lier’s beautiful face showed visible impatience. She was on edge, wanting desperately to know the truth. Could he hurry up and explain it already? But upon observing Lin Fan’s demeanor, it became clear that he was not pretending—he had indeed been deeply shaken by the object. The mental impact it caused looked severe.

Yet, what kind of object could truly stir such a commotion?

Her curiosity was like countless ants crawling inside her heart—itching to the point of restlessness. She could barely wait to uncover the truth.

But judging by Lin Fan’s current state...

It was evident that the answer was not forthcoming anytime soon.

She could only continue waiting.

What a relief!

Being pampered by several identification masters, Lin Fan felt quite comfortable, though their worn and calloused hands were a bit rough. Aside from that, everything else was rather agreeable.

Their techniques were not bad.

The tea, too, was exquisite. As soon as it entered his mouth, it felt as if Spiritual Energy whirlpools were spinning within, spreading comfort to his entire body.

Though Lin Fan’s behavior carried a hint of exaggeration...

There was no denying that this mysterious object was indeed of divine quality. Its value was astonishingly high, and Lin Fan had never seen anything like it before. Neither had anyone else present.

Lin Fan slowly said, "I’m feeling much better now. Earlier, upon touching this object, I was overwhelmed by its terrifying aura. If I had to describe it, I’d say it carries an astonishingly fearsome background."

"But before explaining what this object truly is, allow me to tell you all a story first."

Huang Lier listened intently, fearing she might miss even a single word.

The surrounding identification masters did the same, pricking up their ears. To them, hearing about this legendary object was likely an unprecedented opportunity.

Seeing that everyone was fully engaged, Lin Fan continued, "It is said that in ancient times, there existed an exceptionally powerful tribe. The newborn infants of this tribe were as strong as oxen. However, the tribe birthed one extraordinarily weak infant—a child who was frail and incapable of even basic strength, deemed worthless by the tribe."

"Eighteen years later, this child grew up into a handsome young man. He fell in love with a woman but, due to his Innate shortcomings, was physically impotent. This left the woman to suffer a lonely life, much to the man’s frustration."

"Determined, the man scoured mountains and rivers and eventually discovered a rare Divine Medicine. Upon consuming it, his physical ailments were instantly cured."

"And so..."

Just as he was about to finish, Huang Lier interrupted him, her expression grim. "Are you suggesting that this object is the Divine Medicine you just described?"

The surrounding identification masters looked equally displeased.

They hadn’t expected this high anticipation to culminate in such a disappointing revelation. They had wasted so much time—had even lost two True Immortals for this nonsense. The cost was far too high.

"No," Lin Fan shook his head.

Huang Lier retorted, "Then why waste time telling that story?"

"I shared the story merely to illustrate that ancient times were rife with rare Divine Medicines," Lin Fan explained. "I also wanted to emphasize how extraordinary these items are."

He hadn’t anticipated that they would mistake the story’s subject for the mysterious item itself.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

The identification masters cursed internally.

Seriously.

What an irritating man! They despised people like Lin Fan—spouting a lengthy tale, only to reveal it was all irrelevant.

Lin Fan then spoke slowly, "This Divine Medicine is known as the Flying Immortal Infant Divine Medicine. Divine Medicines differ significantly from Spirit Grasses. Spirit Grasses must be combined with various other ingredients and refined to create an Elixir, whereas a Divine Medicine doesn’t require that step. By nature, they are already Elixirs and can be consumed directly."

"This particular Flying Immortal Infant Divine Medicine holds five Immortal Infants on its stalk, indicating it has grown for fifty thousand years. But as nine is the ultimate number, it needs an additional forty thousand years to fully mature."

"It’s unfortunate. You harvested it too soon. Had you waited another forty thousand years, you’d have had a completely matured Divine Medicine."

"However, it’s not entirely regrettable. If it had reached full maturity, it might have developed sentience, rendering it impossible to harvest."

Lin Fan spoke the unvarnished truth.

Huang Lier and the others listened in astonishment. To them, Lin Fan’s words felt almost too mysterious to believe.

Ninety thousand years for a Divine Medicine?

What could that even mean?

"What effects does this medicine have?" Huang Lier asked.

The surrounding identification masters also focused their attention on Lin Fan, eager to learn about the divine item’s properties.

They harbored some doubt in their minds.

Was Lin Fan speaking the truth or fabricating it?

Unable to discern the item’s true nature themselves, they couldn’t challenge his claims. Hence, skepticism lingered.

Some of the identification masters whispered among themselves.

"Be on guard later, just in case he downplays its value."

"Understood. Even if it turns out worthless, we won’t let him take it."

What they hadn’t anticipated was...

Lin Fan’s subsequent remarks left them entirely stupefied.

"If the Flying Immortal Infant Divine Medicine had reached full maturity, its user could ascend directly to the Immortal Realm in broad daylight, forge an Immortal Body, and extend their lifespan by sixty-six thousand six hundred and sixty-six years."

"Yet alas, it is merely a Five Infant Divine Medicine. Consuming it will grant ten thousand years of Mana, extend life by twenty thousand years, and cure all bodily ailments. Although it cannot forge an Immortal Body, it still possesses some of its benefits."

"Nonetheless, it remains incredibly valuable. While not a Dao Artifact, its worth surpasses that by far. It might well be the only extant Divine Medicine today."

"Congratulations. Indeed, effort yields rewards."

To say Lin Fan wasn’t jealous would be a lie.

The finest treasures always seemed to belong to someone else.

One had to admire the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s incredible fortune to stumble upon such a rare find.

Had Lin Fan wanted to be duplicitous, he could’ve dismissed the object as low-grade Spirit Grass, but that wasn’t his style.

Huang Lier stood with her mouth agape, utterly stunned by Lin Fan’s revelations.

The object was truly this extraordinary?

"Would you mind sharing where this was discovered?" Lin Fan asked, genuinely curious. Almighty heavens—this Divine Medicine! It could very well be the first one unearthed in recent times; otherwise, how could the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion have remained ignorant of it?

His desire to explore the location was undeniable.

Harvesting just one more such medicine would ensure incredible fortune.

At that point, don’t bother talking to him about Eighth or Ninth Grade Spirit Grass—those would just be embarrassing in comparison.

"Master Lin, I hope you abandon such thoughts," Huang Lier warned. "That site is exceedingly hazardous. The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion sent five True Immortal Realm experts into that terrifying area—two perished while the three survivors returned injured."

Huang Lier now addressed Lin Fan with full respect, calling him "Master."

Lin Fan was shocked by her words. Really? Was it truly that dangerous?

True Immortal Realm experts represented the pinnacle of power in this world, yet a place existed capable of claiming their lives? It sounded almost too fantastical to believe.

There was an air of unreality about it.

Huang Lier hadn’t witnessed the incident herself, but she had seen the injuries the three survivors sustained. They were in miserable condition—plagued by a mysterious and eerie aura that corroded their bodies relentlessly.

The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion had to expend extraordinary resources to stabilize their wounds and prevent further deterioration.

"That location is best left untouched. Even our pavilion has no intention of venturing there again," Huang Lier stated plainly.

Her words were truthful.

The losses had been catastrophic.

Nearly unbearable.

Lin Fan nodded without pressing further. Yet inwardly, he couldn’t help but scheme—once his strength reached the required level, he’d undoubtedly make an attempt.

The place sounded challenging even for True Immortal realms.

At his current state, entering would mean nothing more than serving as a light snack for something lurking there—not even enough to fill its teeth.

At this moment...

Huang Lier turned her attention back to the Divine Medicine. "Master Lin, are you certain everything you’ve said is accurate?"

If what Lin Fan claimed was indeed true...

This medicine was unequivocally a priceless treasure.

Nothing could be equal in value to it.

Lin Fan chuckled, "Of course. But if you’re still skeptical, I wouldn’t mind making the sacrifice and consuming this Divine Medicine myself to demonstrate its effects."

His words carried a hint of genuine desire.

He truly wished to devour this Divine Medicine himself.

An extraordinary object, truly extraordinary. But alas, it did not belong to him, and there was nothing he could do but sigh in regret.

Huang Lier responded, "That won’t be necessary. We absolutely trust you, Master Lin. To our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, obtaining this Divine Medicine is indeed a stroke of immense fortune."
