Sweat? This was Saintly Essence!

"System task issued: Save rare and endangered animals and plants, and enrich the biodiversity of our Small Mountain Village!"

"Collecting nine rare and endangered animals and nine rare and endangered plants, and successfully raising them in the village, will allow you to reach the current state of perfection!"

Collecting rare plants and animals?

As expected of a product from the system...

However, Li Fan has done all sorts of missions over the years, so he can accept it.

Moreover, now that the collection is complete, it seems I'll be able to reach the Qi Refining Realm.

Li Fan still had common sense; one could only enter the next realm after reaching perfection in one's current realm!

"Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core... System, which realm— Foundation Establishment or Golden Core—allows one to fly?"

Li Fan felt a sense of longing!

Cultivators can fly through the sky and travel thousands of miles through the air.

Just thinking about it makes me feel incredibly excited and comfortable.

The system seemed to remain silent for a long time before finally replying:

"Golden Core."

Upon hearing this, Li Fan immediately nodded.

He's made up his mind!

For safety's sake, we vow not to leave the village until we reach the Golden Core Realm!

After all, the outside world is too dangerous. Only experts at the Golden Core level or higher are qualified to venture out!

Otherwise, if they encounter danger and can't even fly, wouldn't they be doomed?

The cultivation world is all about killing and plundering, a life-or-death struggle. It's too cruel, not suitable for a lazy bum like me.

I'd rather live a simple, ordinary life in Small Mountain Village!

Anyway, he wasn't like other transmigrators who spent all their time thinking about fighting against the heavens and dominating the world.

The main problem is that our strength doesn't allow it.

Judging from the current progress, I might be able to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm or something similar in my lifetime, which would be considered a great success.

Four years have passed, and he's long since adapted. He has no worries about food and drink in the mountain village, the villagers live happily together, and he has a group of disciples. How comfortable it is!

Thinking about it this way, his mood instantly improved dramatically, and a smile appeared on his lips!

As for cultivation, let it be as fate dictates. As for animals and plants, since I'm idle anyway, I might as well collect them.

But,

Endangered animals and plants are identified based on systematic criteria.

After issuing the task, the system also provided some crystal chips.

If the crystal chip encounters an animal or plant that the system considers to be endangered, it will light up.

This saved Li Fan the trouble of identification.

"Um, my disciple."

Li Fan snapped out of his daze and suddenly looked at his group of disciples.

Many disciples were still in shock, having just witnessed their master demonstrate the supreme divine High God, which had left them all mesmerized!

Hearing Li Fan call out, everyone reacted.

"Master, what are your orders?"

Nan Feng immediately stepped forward and spoke respectfully.

Suddenly, her beautiful eyes widened in surprise, for she discovered that her master possessed a unique and pleasant fragrance!

It smells amazing!

Moreover, it gives you a feeling of enlightenment!

What's going on??

"Sister Nan Feng, don't you feel how attractive Master's scent is? Ahhh, I really want to hug Master and take a bite!"

"If I could just take a bite of my master, maybe I could break through to a higher level on the spot?"

Ziling immediately sent a telepathic message to Nan Feng, her big eyes sparkling!

It wasn't just the two of them; all the disciples around them sensed it!

"Is the fragrance emanating from Master the pure scent of the Dao?"

Gongya subconsciously swallowed, looked at Xin Ning, and said:

"Devil Lord, what's that scent on Master?"

Although Xin Ning has now entered the Saint Induction realm, Gongya still habitually refers to Xin Ning as Devil Lord.

Xin Ning blinked her big eyes, staring at Li Fan, somewhat stunned.

"... That, that smells like my Big Brother's sweat???"

She murmured!

Sweat???

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

"I understand now. Master's body was already flawless. Just now, when he practiced the High God, he broke out in a few beads of sweat. Those beads... contained terrifying essence!"

Long Zixuan suddenly spoke!

Upon hearing this, all the disciples understood.

Everyone suddenly realized!

"My goodness, if only I could get a little bit of Master's sweat to water this little weed of mine..."

Lu Rang had a bold idea in his mind, his eyes burning with desire as he stared at Li Fan!

"Such a powerful aura! It suddenly enlightened me; it seems I finally have a solution for that game..."

Jiang Li murmured to himself, this aura giving him a sudden flash of inspiration!

"Ancient texts record that some people Buddhahood through physical body, and their fame will last for ten thousand generations. Indeed, my master is truly True Buddha!"

Qing Chen murmured to himself.

"I truly wish my master could demonstrate that High God again, and sweat it out a bit more. The Dao Rhyme emanating from his body almost propelled my swordsmanship to another level!"

Dugu Yuqing's eyes were filled with hope!

At that moment, Bai Xiaoqing, who had been playing on the side, suddenly stared at Li Fan, ran over, and jumped directly into Li Fan's arms!

"Meow, what's that smell?? Meow meow meow!!"

Bai Xiaoqing was incredibly excited at that moment!

Why does my owner smell so good?

She couldn't resist sticking out her tender red tongue and licking Li Fan's hand.

There was a little bit of sweat on Li Fan's hands!

This moment!

Boom!

Bai Xiaoqing's cultivation level suddenly changed!

She actually leaped directly from the Immortal Realm to the Primordial realm!

Instantly, Bai Xiaoqing rolled around excitedly in Li Fan's arms!

"Awooooo!"

"This feels so good!"

She couldn't resist licking it again.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the Great Dao resounded in the Small Courtyard, and countless sacred paths resonated with Bai Xiaoqing!

She... actually broke through to the Saint Induction realm!

Seeing this, all the disciples in the arena were shocked!

Sky...

Bai Xiaoqing only tasted a tiny bit of sweat...

Incredible! He broke through two major realms in succession?!

What an incredible fortuitous opportunity!

This isn't sweat; it's clearly the supreme holy elixir!

"Wow, I'm so jealous! I'm so jealous! Why am I not a cat?!"

Ziling was so envious she almost cried!

Being a cat is so great! You can be held in your master's arms and even get licked by him!!!

Nan Feng also fell silent; she was beginning to feel a longing...

The group of male disciples were all extremely envious.

"No, next time Master practices his divine skills, I must get close enough to inhale some of his sweat!"

Long Zixuan clenched his fist and made a silent vow!

"Master... the slightest aura he exudes surpasses all sacred medicines... no wonder, no wonder in his eyes, even the 'Original Medicine' is merely basic medical knowledge..."

Su Baiqian's expression was complicated. She seemed to feel that the wisp of energy emanating from her master was a perfect and supreme medicine that could cure all kinds of diseases in the world!

"What a waste of all that energy that Master released when he was demonstrating his divine skill!"

Lu Rang recalled that Li Fan seemed to be sweating when he did the exercises earlier, and his face showed even more pain!

"Damn it, you dog, are you crazy?"

Wu Dade held the black dog down tightly!

The black dog was now speaking in human language, transmitting its message telepathically:

"Human, get out of my way! Let me go! I want to be a lapdog, I want to be my Lord's lapdog... Woof woof woof, howl! Why am I a canine and not a feline!?!"

The sound the big black dog was making was so loud it was hard to tell if it was barking or something else!

It is filled with resentment and bitterness at being born a dog!

It probably wants to say, "I'm sorry I was born a dog!"

Seeing this, the disciples all had very complicated expressions!

They made their decision instantly.

Next time, I must seize the opportunity while my master is demonstrating his divine skills!

We must never again waste resources like we have now!

"Hmm, wait a minute? Look, the peach tree... it's sprouting flower buds??"

Suddenly, Xin Ning was even more startled and pointed at the Immortal Peach Tree!

The disciples were all instantly shocked upon seeing this!

"This... according to the Original Medicine, the peaches of immortality in the sacred medicine only bloom once every three million years and bear fruit once every three million years..."

Su Baiqian murmured.

Upon hearing this, everyone was even more shocked.

They Chang Ming that this Immortal Peach Tree was a being that stood firmly on the sacred path!

Moreover, they had just eaten peaches of immortality not long ago!

In fact, when Li Fan and his friends went out for barbecue before, they even used these peaches to exchange for some chicken, duck, fish, and meat for the villagers.

But that's only been a year!

Today, the Saint Dao Immortal Peach tree has actually sprouted new flower buds?

"Is this all because Master was just practicing his divine skill?"

They were all muttering!

This is clearly because the sweat emanating from Li Fan's body was absorbed by the peach tree!

Therefore, it directly promoted the budding of peach trees!

"It seems that it won't be long before we can enjoy the Saint Dao Immortal Peach again..."

Dugu Yuqing and the others all had complex expressions.

Su Baiqian was stunned when she heard this.

They said, "Again?"

Eating the Saint Dao Immortal Peach again?

What kind of wealth is this!

Li Fan didn't notice any of this. He looked at the Little White frolicking in his arms, smiled, and rubbed the Little White's belly.

Then he looked at his many disciples, but felt somewhat intimidated.

What's wrong??

One by one, they were staring at me with those kinds of eyes?

"Cough cough,"

He coughed.

The disciples then realized, "Oh right, our master just called us!" Immediately, they all looked at Li Fan respectfully.

Li Fan said:

"I plan to enrich the village's animal and plant life. Take these crystal chips; when you go out in the future, if you encounter suitable animals or plants, these crystal chips will light up!"

"We'll try to bring back to the village any plants or animals that can make the crystals glow."

If I were to rely on myself, it would be very difficult to find all nine rare and endangered animals and nine rare and endangered plants in the Immortal Realm!

It's good to have the disciples help. In the future, let them go out more often and bring it back if they come across it. It's not difficult at all!

Nan Feng and the other disciples received the crystal shards, but their expressions were all extremely solemn!

"The rare animals Master is looking for... Could he be referring to those Primordial races?"

Dugu Yuqing spoke, somewhat bewildered!

"That's for sure. In our village, even the Primordial Bison is only used as a draft animal by our master. For him to describe it as 'rare,' its level must be far above that of the Primordial Bison..."

Qing Chen murmured to himself.

"Perhaps, the ones we keep in our yard are the ones that can truly be called... rare?"

Long Zixuan guessed with a slight tremor!

After he said that, everyone thought it was very possible!

In this courtyard, there are true dragons, phoenixes, pure-blooded celestial dogs, Primordial Demon Spider, and more...

It has to be at least this level!

"Now that you mention it, a plant that Master would describe as 'rare'... it must be at least a terrifyingly precious medicinal herb on par with the Immortal Peach Tree of Immortality?"

Su Baiqian spoke up immediately!

Everyone was even more shocked.

"Master is really going all out... Is he trying to gather all the powerful beings of the Immortal Realm under his wing?"

As Lu Rang spoke, his breathing became somewhat heavy!

"I understand now. Master's plan involves the most powerful beings and races in the world. What worries him is probably the great calamity that the Emperor of Black and White had to cross time and space to borrow their cultivation to temporarily resist?"

Jiang Li's eyes lit up instantly!

Upon hearing his words, everyone nodded in agreement, finding them extremely reasonable!

"... So, could it be that the creatures in this Small Courtyard were also collected by my Big Brother, just like this time...?"

Xin Ning murmured, "True Phoenix, True Dragon, and the like—they were clearly extinct in the ancient history of legends."

Big Brother, did you foresee the next great calamity and thus preserve some rare species to prevent their extinction?

Countless thoughts raced through her little head!

"Master, please rest assured, from this day forward, we will certainly dedicate ourselves to collecting ancient... rare animals and plants!"

Nan Feng took a deep breath and immediately spoke!

Whatever Master asks you to do, it always has a deeper meaning!

Everyone nodded in agreement!

Li Fan was also very gratified; these apprentices hadn't been taken in vain!

Is Senior Li here?

At that moment, the voices of Huo Ling'er and the others rang out from outside the door!
