"No problem, no problem."

"Xiao Xiao, I almost forgot to tell you something." Lin Fan nodded to Dan Chengzi and said to Zuo Xiaoxiao, "From now on, you will choose two junior sisters to assist you in opening a ' Recharge Station '!"

"May I ask, Your Highness, what is Recharge Station?"

Zuo Xiaoxiao responded respectfully.

"The so-called Recharge Station is a place to recharge mobile phones. What you need to do is record the amount of spirit stones that the disciples want to recharge, and after confirming that the amount of Spirit Stone is correct, send the message to me via mobile phone."

Lin Fan certainly wouldn't personally recharge each of their accounts one by one.

However, he could let Sister A'Wu make a judgment.

For example, Sister A'Wu would filter the messages that Zuo Xiaoxiao sent her in advance. If it was a recharge request, then Sister A'Wu would directly recharge the other party's account.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zuo Xiaoxiao accepted the order and left.

Having already seen the ' System Announcement,' I know what recharging means. In essence, all I need to do is collect money and keep accounts.

If a cultivator can't even do this well... then they might as well just Self-Detonation.

Seeing Zuo Xiaoxiao leave, Dan Chengzi said, "Your Highness's talent is truly unparalleled throughout history and unmatched in genius!"

"Putting everything else aside, this Emergency SOS System and identification function alone can provide immense help to us fellow disciples..."

"Throughout history, only Your Highness has conceived of these things and accomplished them..."

Stop flattering me.

Lin Fan glanced at the guy and even wanted to say, "I can tell what kind of shit you want to take just by looking at your butt!"

Why would someone suddenly come here to Top-up, making a server-wide first-time purchase, and spending so much... Now they're all sucking up to me. It would be a miracle if they didn't need something from me!

"Speak your mind, or shut up."

"Ahem, as expected, nothing can be hidden from Your Highness."

Dan the Fatty wasn't intimidated at all; he was thick-skinned anyway, so he said directly, "The main reason I've come here is to ask Your Highness for some guidance."

"... If you want guidance, you should go to the senior monk. Why are you looking for me?"

"It's not that maze, but rather, the Era of Great Strife has already begun. Your Highness, as you know, my cultivation level and talent are truly difficult to describe."

"Although I should be able to keep my position as one of the Ten Disciples in the future thanks to my alchemy skills, I'm afraid that once I leave the sect, with my current cultivation level..."

"Therefore, I humbly request Dan Chengzi Dan Chengzi some advice so that Dan Chengzi... may live a little longer."

Understood.

This guy wants me to teach him how to survive!

Lin Fan rolled his eyes. Fortunately, it was Qi Zixiao's body, so there was no reason for her to do this; in fact, it was rather cute.

"No problem."

Dan Chengzi was practically one of his own, having helped him a lot before and after. Now that he had come to him for help, it was a matter of life and death, so Lin Fan certainly wouldn't be too stingy.

"Your cultivation level is insufficient, and according to your own words, your talent is not particularly good either. If you want to improve yourself, you cannot be too eager to start with cultivation."

Lin Fan gently tapped the table with his slender fingers, offering suggestions as he pondered.

Why not improve your own talents?

Lin Fan couldn't bring himself to say these words.

He himself is one of the most skilled alchemists in the Purple Mansion. If it weren't for the limitations of his cultivation level, he would probably be the best.

If there were a way to enhance his talent, wouldn't he take it?

Have you ever heard the saying, "One trick is all you need to get by"?

"I have never heard of it."

Dan Chengzi was in a bit of an awkward situation this time.

"It's alright." Lin Fan smiled. "The saying 'one trick is all you need to get by' means that it's not about having many skills, but about having the best!"

"Your strength lies in alchemy. In that case, why not take your alchemy skills to the next level?"

"To be honest, Your Highness."

Dan Chengzi smiled sheepishly, "I've prepared quite a few pills for saving my life, healing my wounds, and escaping."

"But... I still feel it's not quite safe enough."

"After all, no matter how many pills you have, they will eventually run out. And if the opponent is much stronger than me, I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to take the pills."

"You've got it all figured out." Lin Fan chuckled. "Ultimately, you just feel your attacks aren't strong enough, right?"

"What's that saying again?"

"If we kill the enemy, they naturally won't be able to kill us?"

"Your Highness is wise. If we can kill the enemy, we will indeed not have to worry about these problems."

"I have also refined some poison pills. If someone takes one, even Great Ascension Stage expert will be knocked down."

"But any strong person must have keen spiritual senses, so how could they obediently open their mouth and swallow my poison pill?"

A very real problem.

Even if a poisonous pill can kill an immortal, why would anyone want to take it? Is it because they find life too tiring?

Simply put, you lack proactive attack methods.

Lin Fan nodded slightly, then his mind raced and he had an idea. "Have you ever heard of ' Exploding Pill '?"

"This... I have heard of it, Your Highness. To be honest, we alchemists, especially those who have mastered the art, consider it shameful to Exploding Pill."

"But when you first start learning, you must have blown up quite a few."

"I even fried one batch yesterday, but I didn't tell anyone. It's too embarrassing. Your Highness, please don't tell anyone."

Dan Chengzi spoke in a low voice.

"Uh..." Lin Fan rolled his eyes again. "What I mean by ' Exploding Pill ' is not that you alchemists exploded the pills during the refining process."

"It was learned from the General Principles of Daoist Arts Under Heaven."

"It is said that there was once an alchemist who, after Exploding Pill too many times, summarized his experience and refined a kind of pill called ' Exploding Pill '!"

"A pill called 'Exploding Pill Pill'?"

"Yes! This pill is not only inedible, but it also does no good for people. Yet it can cause a violent explosion!"

"As for its power, that depends on how well you can refine it..."

How to solve the problem of Dan Chengzi?

Even Dan Chengzi himself didn't know, so what would Lin Fan, this half-baked cultivator, know?

Since they don't know, they can only make things up.

However, Lin Fan didn't speak carelessly. After all, "Exploding Pill" was most likely feasible. There were so many "Exploding Pill" on Earth, right?

As for its power...

It really depends on Dan Chengzi himself.

Why doesn't anyone in the Cultivation World research using pills to harm people?

Lin Fan guessed it was related to their subconscious...

Alchemists consider ' Exploding Pill ' a disgrace, especially famous alchemists. It's one thing if they explode while refining some high-grade pills, but if they explode while refining ordinary pills, how embarrassing would that be!

Everyone thinks Exploding Pill is shameful, so who would bother to research how to Exploding Pill enough?

Dan Chengzi is different...

This guy is cunning and shameless. Lin Fan thinks that Exploding Pill is suitable for him!

"You can go back and try to refine one of those pills that works perfectly fine on ordinary days, but if you throw it and activate it with your special hand gestures or True Essence, it can cause a violent Exploding Pill."

"If you can refine enough Exploding Pill with sufficient power, even if you encounter an enemy you can't defeat, you can still wipe out a whole group with a single blow!"

Exploding Pill pills are different from poison pills.

Even if a poison pill doesn't necessarily have to be ingested to be effective, at least the person has to inhale the poison gas or something, right?

However, the Exploding Pill is an area-of-effect attack, so how powerful is it exactly? That's hard to say; it depends on how well the Dan Chengzi 'comprehends' it.

"What Your Highness says... makes sense!"

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Dan Chengzi's eyes lit up instantly, filled with excitement.

"So, this is how the Exploding Pill ' works?"

"Your Highness, please keep the Spirit Stone safe. Dan Chengzi will now return to study them..."

"No problem, no problem."

Dan Chengzi left in a great hurry.

After collecting the million Spirit Stone and recharging the other person's account with a million Virtual Currency, Lin Fan didn't rest. He immediately went to the Artifact Refining Pavilion and found the chief disciple, Shi Tiesheng.

Furthermore, it was agreed that for every phone crafted, ten Spirit Stone would be awarded as a reward, allowing the Artifact Refining Pavilion to focus its efforts on crafting phones.

There's not much to say about the Artifact Refining Pavilion.

After all, this was the Holy Master's order. Although there was no coercion, the meaning was almost the same, so everyone worked very hard.

They secretly refine mobile phones themselves and sell them for eight hundred Spirit Stone or something?

No way.

The Formation Plate was personally inscribed by Lin Fan under the guidance of Sister A'Wu. Whether it was Dan Chengzi or a disciple of the Artifact Refining Pavilion, they could only 'imprint' the array onto their mobile phones through the Formation Plate.

Want to secretly refine it yourself?

First, we need to break Sister A'Wu's formation; otherwise, we won't be able to refine it!

After mastering the Formation Plate, do you keep it to yourself?

That would be interesting. Once it's discovered... not only will you not be able to log in, but you might even be expelled from the Purple Mansion Holy Land!

After all, what kind of place is the Artifact Refining Pavilion?

A disciple from your sect came to you to refine something, and you, damn it, swallowed all the materials and the finished product? This is outrageous!

The Purple Mansion Holy Land naturally has strict restrictions on this, so Lin Fan is not afraid of having his phone pirated or stolen and sold.

the next day...

Lin Fan had some free time and was just about to chat with Lu Yao, the Jade Pool Saintess, when Dan Chengzi arrived again.

His eyes were bloodshot, his hair was disheveled, and he looked utterly wretched; even his Daoist robe was slightly charred.

But he was incredibly excited.

"Your Highness, I did it! I did it!"

"The Exploding Pill... is successful?"

"It's done!"

"Your Highness, please take a look."

With a flick of his wrist, a small, unremarkable red pill appeared in his palm.

Then, he suddenly threw the peas into the air and made a hand gesture.

Boom!!!!

The pill exploded! Flames shot out, and a gale followed.

However, its power is not great. It is estimated that at close range, it would not even be able to kill Golden Core cultivator. It is not as powerful as a casual strike from Dan Chengzi.

But he was incredibly excited!

After all, he had only been thinking about it for a day, and he had actually managed to create the Exploding Pill!

So what if it's not powerful enough? Does that mean I can't continue my research?!

Lin Fan was also quite surprised, secretly thinking, "This guy's talent for alchemy is truly terrifying; he managed to produce it in just one day..."

Meanwhile, Li Fu, leading seven disciples from Purple Bamboo Peak, finally arrived at the Waterfall Chaos Star Sea...
