Does an Immortal Cultivator Also Suffer from Multiple Personality Disorder?

Lin Fan had a somewhat 'subtle' feeling about academic papers.

Do you think it's useful?

It might be useful for some "gifted" students, like academic geniuses, but for average or even mediocre college students...

Aside from being a 'task' and a 'graduation prerequisite', it doesn't seem to be of much use.

However, a thesis on cultivating immortality is a different story~

There's not much knowledge about cultivation on Earth right now. Maybe I can just take a public lecture sometime, right?

Then the students they assign to themselves are definitely the smarter ones, or the ones with good academic performance.

These people may not be good at other things, but their theoretical knowledge is definitely flawless.

After we give them lessons, we make them all write papers. Wouldn't that be 'insights into cultivation'?

"Hmm... maybe it's too hasty to have them write a paper right after the first class. How about we have them write it after ten or eight classes? Who knows, we might get some unexpected insights?"

After all, the way of thinking of Earthlings is definitely different from that of people in the world of cultivation. For example, the same cultivation method may be interpreted differently.

Let alone other worlds...

Earth, can people from the East and the West interpret the same sentence in two different ways?

By analogy, if there were more of these papers, they might even bring some benefits to our Saintess, and even to the Purple Mansion Holy Land...

Of course, I am even more likely to be one!

Lin Fan is quite shrewd.

Although he is currently the strongest person on Earth, and under normal circumstances, no cultivator with a higher cultivation level than him will appear on Earth in the future...

But where did your cultivation come from? Don't you have any self-awareness?

Almost all of them were leveled up by our Saintess Maiden!

You want him to fight?

Can!

What basic theoretical knowledge did you ask him to write?

Let's just forget about it...

"In that case, let's leave it at that for now," the Seventh Vice Minister said with a smile. "As for the agreement... I think we don't need it?"

"No, we don't need to!"

Lin Fan nodded. "A verbal agreement is fine. What use is a written document?"

Ordinary people value documents.

But at their level, what use are documents? Even if one party unilaterally tears up the documents, who can they complain to?

You can't exactly go to court, can you?

So it's better not to write it at all, to avoid seeming petty.

"Besides, since we'll be partners in the future, we can discuss and help each other with some special issues."

"Is there anything wrong with it?" Lin Fan emphasized.

"Certainly!"

The Minister on the other end of the video nodded in agreement. "Not only that, we also have a favor to ask, and we hope that you, Mister Lin, can grant it."

"Explain!"

"We hope that our collaboration will be 'exclusive,' and you should understand our concerns..."

Does Lin Fan understand these concerns?

That makes perfect sense!

Let alone something as big as this, even if someone is making a movie and a video website wants to sign a contract, they might sometimes want to sign an exclusive streaming agreement.

There will be exceptions unless the asking price is too high or an agreement cannot be reached.

Especially something like this?

"Can."

Lin Fan nodded, having no other thoughts on the matter. "It's a very positive request and idea, and I agree with it."

"But all I can say is that I will not cooperate with any third party again as long as our cooperation remains in place."

"Under what circumstances would the cooperation be considered terminated?"

"There's only one possibility, and that is... you've violated the contract."

Lin Fan's gaze was deep and unfathomable. "I am sincere in cooperating, but if you break the contract, then don't blame me."

"Of course!"

Whether it was the Seventh Vice Minister present at the scene or the others in the video, they all smiled and nodded, saying, "Then it's settled!"

"It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

"It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

The video was interrupted.

The Seventh Vice Minister also relaxed a bit and said with a smile, "We will immediately begin preparations for some things related to the Nuclear Power Plant."

"To be honest, your family is already under protection, but they haven't shown their faces, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"As for your side, would you like to go to one of our compounds, or should we arrange for some people to come over?"

The Seventh Vice Minister offered their choices.

Going to a certain compound is actually easy to understand. The compound of the Resident Happiness Living Department is bound to be heavily guarded, and outsiders would not want to disturb it.

It's as difficult as climbing to heaven!

As for worrying that Lin Fan is overthinking things and that they want to imprison him or something... the Seventh Vice Minister is really not afraid.

How could someone with that kind of ability possibly think of imprisoning him?

"You should send some people over. They don't need to get close, just make sure that random people don't approach or disturb me."

"That's easy to discuss!"

The Seventh Vice Minister nodded. "From now on, I will be in charge of your contact line. I will notify you immediately if there is any news or changes."

"Good!"

Lin Fan agreed, then glanced at the Seventh Vice Minister, turned around and took a Jade Bottle from the shoe cabinet beside him...

Then, he took out a pill.

"If I'm not mistaken, someone in your family has a terminal illness, right? This Great Strength Pill can save her. Take it back and have her take it."

The Seventh Vice Minister's lips twitched.

"Mighty Pill?! A medicine that can cure terminal illness, and it has such a ridiculous, quack name?"

And it's just casually placed on the shoe cabinet like this?

You...

Isn't that such a waste?!

"... Thank you, Mister Lin."

He stood up, accepted the gift with both hands, and spoke solemnly.

"It's my wife, she... sigh!"

"We are deeply grateful and will not let you down in this collaboration!"

"You flatter me."

Lin Fan waved his hand. "Since we're going to cooperate, it's only right to give each other a small gift. Oh, and here's a bottle of medicine that can improve your health. Take it back with you."

"One for each of the eleven Minister."

This is a bottle of Spiritual Energy Pill, which have been prepared in advance, eleven in total.

Although the Spiritual Energy Pill are precious, giving them to them would definitely not be a loss.

Simply put, it's about giving them a little something in return.

With a taste of success, people will be more motivated to do things, right? Besides, the Spiritual Energy Pill can restore their youth, making them more energetic, physically stronger, and more agile in their thinking. Wouldn't that also improve their efficiency?

Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting work, right?

This is an old saying, so it must be true.

"I feel unworthy to accept it, but... I must take it."

The Seventh Vice Minister's smile became somewhat awkward at this moment, "Well... I won't take your things for nothing. You can make any requests you have!"

"We're partners now, so it's easy to talk things over."

"No problem!"

Lin Fan gave a thumbs up. "My suggestion is that you send someone from your side who knows a bit about physics to liaise with Old Chen's side."

"He needs some things recently, and... first of all, he needs to bring over two high-voltage power lines."

"High-voltage lines, physics talents."

The Seventh Vice Minister nodded. "No problem, absolutely no problem. I'll arrange it for you as soon as I get back. It will be in place within three days at the latest!"

"Is there anything else?"

He was eager to return home.

After all, having obtained the life-saving medicine, one naturally wants to take it back to save their family...

"It's gone."

Lin Fan chuckled, "Oh, there's another issue. In the future, if it's not necessary, please try not to contact me first."

Why is that?

The Seventh Vice Minister expressed their bewilderment.

"Because..."

Lin Fan said quietly, "I messed up my training. In modern scientific terms, it's called a split personality."

"The other me won't do anything reckless either, but I have a bad temper. Try not to provoke me if you can avoid it."

Um...

If our Saintess knew I said that about her, would she be angry?

It's highly likely!

But Lin Fan had no other choice.

This matter still needs to be discussed!

Cooperating with the authorities is no small matter. He can 'reveal' some things about himself being a cultivator, but he cannot tell them about his constant soul-swapping with Qi Zixiao.

This is the deepest secret, and I will never tell a third person unless there is absolutely no other way!

However, some problems are bound to arise later, and Lin·Purple Firmament will inevitably have some contact with them...

These people are all shrewd and calculating. If it weren't mentioned beforehand that it was 'dissociative identity disorder,' they might have been able to extract some information from Lin·Purple Firmament.

It's not that Lin Fan looks down on his own Saintess, it's just... there are so many tricks in modern times!

Although there are oddballs like Su the Runner in the Cultivation World, most people are actually focused on cultivation and don't understand so many Wan Wan.

Lin Fan was genuinely worried that she might be misled by these people and say things she shouldn't, so this "precautionary measure" had to be taken in advance.

"A person... with multiple personality disorder?"

The Seventh Vice Minister was taken aback. "Let me ask you a question... would you approve of our cooperation?"

There was something he didn't say.

That is it.

What if your other personality doesn't accept this and has a conflict with us?

"I agree! You can rest assured about that. My two personalities actually have the same goal, it's just that... that 'me' has a bad temper and is rather impulsive."

"If you don't mess with me, or 'he', everything will be fine."

"All right..."

The Seventh Vice Minister sighed with disbelief, "I never imagined that you cultivators could also suffer from split personalities..."

"That's really strange!"

"..."

After a brief exchange, the Seventh Vice Minister left.

He didn't ask Lin Fan for a quick way to cultivate immortality, because that would seem foolish.

Even ordinary people make transactions by exchanging money for goods. How can someone want another person's cultivation techniques without giving anything in return?

Is your face that big?

It's more like they're bringing shame upon themselves.

As soon as he stepped out of the house, a large group of Black-Clad Men surrounded him.

"Protect the Seventh Vice Minister!"

"Highest alert level!"

The Seventh Vice Minister took a deep breath, clutching the Jade Bottle tightly in his hand. "Escort me back to the capital immediately."

"At the same time, send a team of elite men, broken into smaller groups, to infiltrate Green Mountain Town in plain clothes. Their only mission is to ensure that no outsiders can easily contact Lin Fan!"

"Also... install two more high-voltage power lines in the Greenhouse Area over there!"
