Does speaking have a cooldown? (10!)
Saintess Pavilion.
Lin Fan finally tried to activate Qi Zixiao's Image Recording...
There was no other way; he didn't know how to use this thing before, so Qi Zixiao always activated it precisely before he transmigrated.
Now that Lin Fan can record videos himself, Qi Zixiao naturally won't need to time the activation precisely anymore.
In the video, Qi Zixiao has a cold expression.
"The attitude towards the Jade Pool Saintess depends on what she is going to do."
"I've met this person once, but we're just casual acquaintances, so there's no need to pay special attention to him."
"When the time comes, just act according to my style."
What the hell is your style of doing things?
Lin Fan was both amused and exasperated.
How am I supposed to know your style? I only know you're a 'cold iceberg' when you interact with outsiders, so do you want me to be more domineering and ruthless?
He figured that this was probably about right.
The brief pause seemed to give Lin Fan time to process the information before Qi Zixiao spoke again.
"As for what you are looking for, I do know about it."
"The metal you want is ' Natural Gold,' which is extremely rare, but has a very high affinity for spiritual energy and the five elements. It can be transferred with almost zero loss."
"Based on my understanding, or in your Earthly terms, it could be considered a kind of 'superconductor'?"
"As far as I know, the only person in the Holy Land who truly possesses Natural Gold is Wu Lian, the Seventh Elder of the Wu Lian Artifact Refining Pavilion."
"As for the Artifact Spirit you desire..."
"It should be understood that the Artifact Spirit is the spirit of the weapon itself, and the Artifact Spirit represents the weapon."
"Moreover, generally speaking, the Artifact Spirit are the souls of certain Ferocious Beast, Demon Beast, or Spirit Beast. Although they possess intelligence, they are far from meeting your requirements."
"Unless..."
"It is the treasured artifact of our Purple Mansion Holy Land, the Sky Gazing Mirror!"
"The Sky Gazing Mirror is the artifact that made the Holy Land's ancestor famous. Its grade has reached the 'Emperor Weapon' level, and its value is immeasurable. It has a great reputation in Myriad Realms."
"Its Artifact Spirit is the spirit of an old ancestor who killed a being who once contended with the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets and refined his soul into Artifact Spirit."
"His name is unknown, but in the art of deduction and calculation, he can rival the First Generation of the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets. Even if he becomes Artifact Spirit, he will surely be able to meet your requirements."
"But..."
Qi Zixiao's gaze held a hint of amusement. "Don't say I didn't warn you, neither Natural Gold nor the Sky Gazing Mirror are things you can touch."
"Even I cannot obtain it, especially the Sky Gazing Mirror, which no one but the current Holy Master can use."
"So, whatever you're going to do, just let it go."
"It's impossible to succeed."
"Also... thanks for the breakthrough."
Boom!
The image fades away.
For Qi Zixiao, saying "thank you" was not easy. Even if she managed to say it, she would be too ashamed to continue recording.
He thought that by finding the Pseudo Spiritual Stone in the modern world, he could turn the tables and reduce his debt to Lin Fan.
But what was the result?
The more you owe, the more you accumulate!
Although she had already reached the Spirit Severance Peak and could break through at any time, the one who would ultimately break through was Lin Fan... wasn't he?
Lin Fan could roughly guess some of Qi Zixiao's thoughts, so he wasn't surprised by the sudden end of the video.
However, he felt somewhat emotional about Qi Zixiao's information.
"I was right. These things are all very valuable, especially the Sky Gazing Mirror..."
Even if you haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run?
The Sky Gazing Mirror, just from its name, you can tell it must be something incredibly powerful.
Otherwise, how could they dare to use the name of "observing the heavens"?!
Moreover, it's a treasure of a sacred holy land, how could anyone possibly obtain it? The difficulty is terrifying!
Using force is definitely not an option; we must outsmart them.
That Natural Gold must be incredibly valuable, otherwise Qi Zixiao wouldn't have given such a warning.
"Luckily I was somewhat prepared... but I hope I don't give myself away."
Lin Fan had considered this possibility before, so he made a lot of preparations when he went back this time. He even didn't have time to refine the Jade Muscle Cream again, all for this reason.
We need to get what we need first, and it would be best to get the internet up and running before the Jade Pool Saintess arrives!
Therefore, in the remaining time before his transmigration, Lin Fan was frantically 'catching up' and absorbing all kinds of knowledge.
I thought this time the chances of success were almost certain, but now it seems the success rate has plummeted...
"Alright, let's get ready and go see the Holy Master first, who is... Qi Zixiao's master!"
From Qi Zixiao's previous introduction, Lin Fan learned that both the Holy Son and Saintess were Direct Disciple of the current Holy Master, Mo Daolin.
However, the cultivation methods they practice are different.
Qi Zixiao cultivates the Purple Qi Comes From The East, the sect's most treasured technique of the Purple Mansion Holy Land.
The Holy Son cultivates the Ten Thousand Stars Art, which is also one of the sect's most important cultivation methods.
And Mo Daolin...
As Holy Master, his cultivation level is beyond comprehension; at least Qi Zixiao himself is unaware of it. As for his personality...
Judging from Qi Zixiao's description, at least from her personal perspective, she seems rather aloof.
I've hardly ever seen any emotional changes in him; he's taciturn, but when he does speak, it's always the kind that hits the nail on the head.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan couldn't help but rub his temples.
"So, he's a man of high status and great position who keeps quiet and unassuming."
"It's really not easy to deal with this kind of person."
"And..."
"If I appeared before him, given his cultivation level, wouldn't he be able to detect that Qi Zixiao's soul isn't actually hers right now, and mistake me for some kind of Body Seizing demon, and just kill me?!"
Thinking of this, Lin Fan felt a chill run down his spine.
The soul has changed...
In the Cultivation World, isn't that just another Body Seizing?
"But that's not right either. Shouldn't Body Seizing after the Nascent Soul stage involve the Nascent Soul entering the body? After all, the soul after the Nascent Soul stage is hidden within the Nascent Soul."
"Qi Zixiao's nascent soul is definitely her own, so in a sense, what I'm doing isn't Body Seizing. As long as I act a little indecently, I shouldn't be discovered."
"Moreover, judging from the name, the Sky Gazing Mirror must be an 'imperial weapon' with unparalleled spying capabilities."
"As Mo Daolin's disciple, he should be keeping an eye on Qi Zixiao quite often. He's probably been secretly observing me quite a few times already. If he could find out, he probably would have already done so, and wouldn't have waited until now..."
"Thinking about it that way, it's not so scary after all."
Lin Fan gradually calmed down, but suddenly, his eyelids twitched.
"I'll go."
"That Old Rascal!"
"Since he controls the Sky Gazing Mirror, could he be spying on the female disciples while they bathe?!"
"You can know a person's face but not their heart."
Lin Fan shook his head for a while.
"Alright, let's get ready and go ask for an audience. Hopefully, we can get our hands on the Sky Gazing Mirror..."
In order to obtain a usable ' Artifact Spirit ', Lin Fan made many preparations!
Afternoon.
Lin Fan pushed open the door.
"I'm going to the Purple Mansion Palace; you don't need to come with me."
He spoke, and Chen Cheng and the other woman immediately replied, "Yes, Your Highness."
Immediately, Lin Fan soared into the air, riding the wind towards the ' Sky City ' in the sky.
The white dress danced in the wind, like a fairy descending to earth.
"Your Highness's trip must be about the breakthrough, right?"
Chen Cheng smiled and said, "The Holy Master will surely reward you."
Zhou Yining nodded slightly and said, "That should be true... When the Saintess returns, she will only become stronger."
The Purple Mansion Palace, as the super core of the Purple Mansion Holy Land, is not only a ' Sky City ', but also has a continuous and magnificent palace.
The ingredients are also extremely exquisite, and their extraordinary quality is immediately apparent, resulting in an amazing appearance.
Apart from that, the Purple Mansion Palace was extremely deserted.
According to Qi Zixiao, this is related to the personality of the Holy Master Mo Daolin. He is aloof and dislikes crowds, so he doesn't need anyone to be considerate of him.
In the entire Purple Mansion Palace, when there is nothing to do, Mo Daolin is the only one.
There wasn't even a messenger to deliver the message.
But then again, there's no need for that.
The Purple Mansion Palace contains over 1,800 array formations, all interconnected, including various illusion arrays, killing arrays, Entrapment Array, and sound transmission arrays.
Anyone who is not Purple Mansion Disciple and dares to force their way in will be instantly annihilated.
Want to go in?
Shout slowly, since there's a sound transmission array, Mo Daolin won't be able to hear you.
Of course, this is on the premise that Mo Daolin has not set up Soundproofing Formation.
Purple Mansion Disciple will not be killed, but if they trespass without permission, they will be thrown into the Entrapment Array.
Mo Daolin will throw them out whenever he remembers.
So over time, naturally no one dared to be foolish enough to approach the Purple Mansion Palace.
Besides, some people of high status can come and go directly.
for example...
Qi Zixiao!
Floating near the Purple Mansion Palace, Lin Fan had dealt with it again.
"What if we get discovered..."
"Maybe we should just play it safe?"
"But as the saying goes, since we're already here..."
"Zixiao".
Just as Lin Fan was struggling with his decision, a clear, cold male voice came from the Purple Mansion Palace: "Why are you hesitating?"
"!"
Have to!
Lin Fan sighed inwardly.
We've been discovered; not going in would be problematic.
Come in!
He flew straight into the Purple Mansion Palace area, where all the formations were concealed, and there were no problems.
This made Lin Fan feel a little more at ease. Maintaining his cool and indifferent demeanor, he landed and headed towards the main hall.
At the same time, looking at the many empty palaces, he couldn't help but have an idea.
"That Old Rascal, could it be that he dismissed everyone so he could peep at the female disciples while they bathe?"
"Cough cough cough..."
He knew his idea was absurd and ridiculous.
But for some reason, the colder Mo Daolin's voice was, the more he felt that this Holy Master must be a 'closet pervert'.
"I wonder if Qi Zixiao has a master's wife or something, but she didn't mention it, so she probably doesn't, right?"
"Tsk tsk, it makes him seem even more like a repressed pervert..."
Inside the main hall.
Dressed in blue, Mo Daolin leaned against the main seat, resting his chin on his hand, looking around calmly.
Tsk, what a free-spirited big shot.
Lin Fan muttered to himself, but on the surface he clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "Master."
Mo Daolin gave Lin Fan a deep look, his eyes swirling like a river of stars, unfathomable.
"You've made a breakthrough, that's great."
He spoke softly, and then fell silent.
Lin Fan felt somewhat uncomfortable.
This person really doesn't talk much! It's like they have a 'cooling-down' phase when they speak.
