'Cheat' Activated!

"Okay, I'll go!"

"Seventh Brother" nodded in agreement. "Then let Liu Gang wait for now. I'll go there right away, and we'll go see Lin Fan together when I get there."

"That's natural..."

The meeting is now adjourned.

No one told Lao Qi what he should and shouldn't do.

Because they all understood and trusted each other, they knew that Lao Qi was always prudent in his actions, and even if someone in his family urgently needed that ' Divine Medicine ' to cure their illness, he wouldn't act recklessly.

Rewind time.

When Lin Fan and Zhou Na brought Zhou Xiaoran to the Greenhouse Area and met Old Chen, Old Chen was slightly taken aback.

"A newcomer?"

He was curious.

Old Chen now looks much younger than before; he can hardly be described as an old man anymore.

His change was more like a gradual, subtle transformation.

Compared to the Old Celestial Master who swallowed two Spiritual Energy Pill and instantly gained a large amount of spiritual energy in his body, resulting in a dramatic change, Old Chen, apart from having a strand of True Essence inputted by Lin Fan at the beginning, gradually changed by slowly breathing in spiritual energy on his own.

Of course, this change can't go on forever! It can't keep getting younger and younger until it becomes a teenager, or even an infant...

For ordinary people, the effects of spiritual energy are generally to Strengthening the Body, enhance immunity, prolong life, and slow aging.

Simply put, if an ordinary person lives in a place with spiritual energy that is relatively abundant, their lifespan will reach nearly two hundred years!

Then it becomes quite obvious why old men like Old Chen and Old Celestial Master remain young.

One of them was nearly seventy years old, and the other was nearly eighty. To ordinary people who had never been exposed to spiritual energy, they were already very old and could pass away at any time.

However, after coming into contact with spiritual energy and obtaining a certain amount of spiritual energy, their lifespan should be close to two hundred years!

Seventy or eighty years old is equivalent to a lifespan of two hundred years, isn't that less than half?!

If converted to the equivalent of a normal person, a person in their seventies or eighties would be roughly equivalent to someone in their thirties or forties.

Therefore, they will naturally grow younger and younger, and then, at that appropriate 'point in time', they will stop growing younger and instead begin to change in other ways.

Now, Old Chen looks to be only in his early forties at most...

The benefits are enormous!

It wasn't just his appearance; his physical condition and internal changes were also completely transformed.

However, such changes are not something that can be Human Path.

"I've found you a helper."

Lin Fan pointed at Zhou Xiaoran and laughed, "You're doing all this work by yourself, taking care of these spiritual herbs, researching them, and studying formations. You're working too hard."

Elixirs, formations?!

Zhou Na blinked, but didn't say anything.

"It's not that tiring."

Old Chen laughed, "I feel so strong right now, I could kill a bull!"

"Moreover, this greenhouse is also automated, so I don't really need to manage the medicinal herbs much. However, having a helper would definitely make things easier."

"But..."

"This girl seems a bit rebellious."

Old Chen gestured with his chin, clearly referring to Zhou Xiaoran's hair as being rather... exaggerated.

A pretty girl, who looked to be around twenty years old, had her hair cut short, less than a centimeter long, round and chubby, and then dyed it all sorts of bright, colorful patterns...

"I wouldn't call it rebellion, I just wanted to give it a try."

Lin Fan said happily, "She's a very nice person, trustworthy. It's perfectly fine to have her help you out later."

Okay.

Old Chen stretched out his hand. "Call me Old Chen, Old Chen, or Teacher Chen, it's fine. You're young, so I'll call you Little Zhou..."

However...

No response!

Old Chen's hand was right in front of her, but Zhou Xiaoran did not shake his hand.

Lin Fan glanced over and realized that Zhou Xiaoran was standing there in a daze!

Her expression was blank, yet a strange glint flickered in her eyes, revealing her exceptional intelligence and extraordinary nature, as if possessing an allure that drew people in unconsciously...

"This girl..."

Old Chen raised an eyebrow. "Something's not right!"

"Something's not right. She seems to be...?" Zhou Na also noticed something was amiss.

"Let's all step back a little, she..."

Lin Fan whispered, gesturing for the two of them to step back a few meters, but didn't specify what she was doing.

But at this moment, he saw it clearly!

Zhou Xiaoran was unconsciously absorbing spiritual energy!

Or rather, it wasn't her absorbing it!

Instead, it was her body, her Exquisite Body physique, that passively absorbed spiritual energy!

In the Cultivation World, this type of spirit can enter the path of cultivation even without doing anything! And the Exquisite Body is an extremely special existence.

Unlike the usual five elements of spirits: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The most important Exquisite Body and clever mind is that they can create spells with ease.

Upon seeing Zhou Xiaoran now, Lin Fan had some guesses.

"It's probably because she had never been exposed to spiritual energy before today, so the special qualities of her Exquisite Body were hardly brought into play."

"Although I just swallowed a Spiritual Energy Pill, it was used from the inside out, and most of it was used to modify my body."

"Now that the outside world possesses spiritual energy, which enters the body through respiration, it can be said that one is truly in a spiritually rich environment, thus activating the Exquisite Body?!"

"Well... if I could explain it in a more understandable way, in one sentence, it should be €せRuijun

This is just speculation.

But Lin Fan felt that his guess was pretty accurate!

It is, after all, a spiritual body. In the Cultivation World, it would be something that even holy lands would fight over. Moreover, it is a rare and special Exquisite Body. It is normal and reasonable for such a cheat to make some noise when it is 'activated', right?

Whoosh!

Zhou Xiaoran absorbed spiritual energy at an increasingly rapid pace, even generating gusts of breeze that Lin Fan and the other two could sense.

"Her?" Old Chen somewhat surprised.

"My family seems to be a bit unusual..." Zhou Na whispered.

Lin Fan nodded, not hiding anything. "She unconsciously embarked on the Immortal Path."

The two: "Σ(⊙▽⊙"a?!!"

"Unconsciously, I stepped onto the Immortal Path?"

The two were dumbfounded.

Cultivator of immortality, that sounds like a high-class title, right?

And shouldn't it be extremely difficult, requiring luck, opportunity, or something like that, just to get started?

How could someone be passively drawn into this industry?

"She was born to be a cultivator."

This was the only explanation Lin Fan could offer.

What else can we say?

This is definitely a bit like bullying!

Not to mention the two of them, even Lin Fan himself felt a little 'jealous'.

Exquisite Body... truly lives up to its name!

After a good ten minutes, the spiritual energy in the entire Greenhouse Area had thinned considerably, and Zhou Xiaoran finally stopped absorbing it.

But at this moment, she was radiating a faint, hazy light, and her colorful short hair seemed to be glowing!

At the same time, her expression was no longer blank, and her eyes seemed to hold countless galaxies flowing within them...

At this moment, Lin Fan was suddenly a little confused.

Why?

He murmured to himself.

"Why do I feel like Zhou Xiaoran looks so familiar these days? What is it...?"

He couldn't explain it clearly.

But there's this feeling, as if I've seen her somewhere before, but I just can't remember where. And if I think about it carefully, a kind of 'panic' spreads in my heart.

This forced him to stop thinking about it...

"What on earth is going on?!"

Lin Fan was somewhat surprised and uncertain, but he couldn't explain these things in detail.

"Gentlemen."

Zhou Xiaoran suddenly spoke, interrupting Lin Fan's thoughts. "I feel... that something is wrong with me."

"How?"

Lin Fan stopped thinking about it.

"It's like I suddenly have a lot of ideas in my head that I want to try..."

Lin Fan: "..."

Okay!!!

See, the cheat program was activated after all?

Is this the start of his own cultivation journey or something?

Any thoughts?

"It's just... I have some extra stuff inside me, like... how should I put it?"

As Zhou Xiaoran pondered, she explained, "It's like the Inner Force in Martial Arts? It moves around inside my body, and I can control it."

"Moreover, for some reason, I have some ideas about controlling this thing to travel along a certain path within my body."

"What a strange feeling!"

Lin Fan: "..."

You're using a really strong cheat code!

Lin Fan pondered for a moment, but then a deeper question came to mind.

Now, Zhou Xiaoran herself has embarked on the Immortal Path, and she seems to have learned it all by herself, relying on her instincts!

Normally, since she's 'followed' me and embarked on the Immortal Path, I should at least get her a cultivation technique from the Purple Mansion.

But now, she has her own ideas, so...

Should we still get her some cultivation techniques?!

She created her own cultivation technique, and she's someone who's never even touched cultivation before. To be honest, even with her Exquisite Body, Lin Fan doesn't think she could create a particularly powerful technique.

I'd guess it's only slightly better than the average 'mass-produced' stuff.

But what if?!

"If we let her figure it out on her own and actually come up with some pretty good techniques... then the benefits would be huge."

Does the Purple Mansion Holy Land have a lot of cultivation techniques? Yes! There are so many that you can't possibly use them all.

But what's the point of that thing?

Giving it to Zhou Xiaoran wouldn't be anything special; it's better to let her try it herself!

What if we discover something great? Wouldn't that be a huge profit?

No problem!

Thinking of this, Lin Fan nodded gently. "You can try, but only if you instinctively feel safe to try."

"Yes, sir."

Zhou Xiaoran nodded...

Then...

Old Chen leaned over, shaking his head and saying, "Although it might be a bit much to say this, I still have to say something."

"I'm afraid it's best not to try it in the short term."
