My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 831: Everything Flourishes

The cultivators no longer discussed the dark past that had been exposed. After all, they had heard too much of it to be surprised anymore.

Instead, they eagerly gathered information about the past entrance examinations for joining the Immortal Alliance.

They clenched their fists in determination, swearing to become part of the Immortal Alliance system.

A crisis that could have led to internal strife had thus been quietly resolved.

The resolution was so skillful that even after half a month had passed, Li Fan still found himself reviewing it in his mind, secretly marveling at it.

"With a mere gesture, the crisis was eliminated without a trace."

"And all it took... was a single announcement."

Li Fan couldn't help but feel admiration from the bottom of his heart.

After all, he couldn't think of a better way to handle it.

"The entrance examination for joining the Immortal Alliance in half a year is such a grand event. How can I not get a share of the pie...?"

"However, even though this world is still in its early stages, its trajectory has already begun to shift significantly. Those test questions should also have changed."

With this thought, information on past entrance examinations that he had collected flashed through Li Fan’s mind.

"Despite all the changes, the essence remains the same. Although I can't predict the exact questions, creating a general question bank shouldn’t be difficult."

He casually took out a blank jade slip. At that moment, the Dao Deviation Stone crystal in his mind suddenly emitted a brilliant blue light.

Then, an overwhelming amount of data surged madly into the jade slip.

It took the time of an entire incense stick to completely inscribe all the information.

"Now that the Dao Deviation Stone has been upgraded to a mid-grade level, its efficiency has significantly improved. Computational power has directly doubled."

Li Fan ran his fingers across the smooth surface of the jade slip, nodding in satisfaction.

The Dao-Transforming Stone had finally advanced, thanks to his persistent efforts to merge with the stone from Yi Yin's tomb in every reincarnation.

However, the lower-grade Dao Deviation Stone provided by the Five Elders Association in this transaction was also crucial.

Even though it was of the same lower grade, its quality far surpassed the one from Yi Yin’s tomb—almost infinitely close to the mid-grade level.

After absorbing it, the Dao Deviation Stone in Li Fan’s sea of consciousness instantly advanced to mid-grade.

"It’s a pity that the Five Elders Association was only willing to provide one piece. They were even more willing to offer additional Heavenly Sovereign Artifacts than to give me another Dao Deviation Stone."

"Could it be that they have some special use for it?"

Li Fan frowned in thought, but after a moment, he let it go.

Although Heavenly Sovereign Artifacts were incredibly valuable, they could at least be reproduced. Compared to the Dao Deviation Stone, which decreased in quantity with each use, it was hard to say which was more valuable.

"Hmm... The Immortal Alliance entrance examination question bank—perhaps I can trade it for more stones from them."

"Whether they use it to plant spies or sabotage the examination, it will be highly useful."

Li Fan began making calculations in his mind.

"Tianci!"

After a moment, he called out.

A shadow flashed, and Shang Tianci immediately rushed over with eager obedience.

Now that Lin Ling was around, the once brainwashed hot-blooded youth was even more devoted to Li Fan, doing everything he could to prove himself.

Previously, when he was sent out to scout, he no longer treated it as a sightseeing tour. Instead, he quickly visited the required locations and immediately rushed back.

Fortunately, he could use the Heavenly Scene Treasure Gourd for teleportation. Otherwise, such long-distance travel in such a short time would have exhausted him to death.

Despite all his efforts, Tianyang's arrival had still made him feel an immense sense of crisis.

Compared to the talkative and fawning Shang Tianshi, Lin Ling seemed more interested in the taciturn, wooden Tianyang.

This worried Shang Tianci immensely. Left with no choice, he decided to take a roundabout approach—trying to please Li Fan to win favor.

"Senior, what are your orders?"

Li Fan casually tossed the jade slip to him. "Make a hundred copies of this jade slip first."

"Got it!" Thinking it was an easy task, Shang Tianci immediately agreed.

However, when he took the jade slip and carefully examined its contents, he first let out a painful cry and clutched his forehead.

Then, he exclaimed in shock, "Senior, this is way too much!"

"If it weren't a lot, I could have carved it myself. Why would I need you?" Li Fan snorted coldly.

"Remember, this is urgent. Give it to me within seven days."

Shang Tianci's face twisted in bitterness. Seeing Li Fan's serious expression, he didn't dare to protest. Gritting his teeth, he went off to complete the task.

Meanwhile, Li Fan turned his gaze to the vast land of the Spiritwood Realm, where the treefolks were tirelessly toiling.

"Unfortunately, it seems that these treefolks creations do not fall under the scope of the Sitting Immortal Art."

Compared to when Li Fan had first entered the Spiritwood Realm, the overall strength of the treefolks had significantly improved.

The largest group of them had advanced from early Qi Condensation to late Qi Condensation.

Moreover, treefolks with Foundation Establishment and Golden Core-level strength had begun emerging in great numbers.

The female Treefolks Chieftain had gained the most from these changes—she could now fight evenly against an ordinary Soul Transformation cultivator.

Such rapid progress was primarily due to Shang Tianci's continuous transportation of Xuanhuang Scenes.

More importantly, it was the treasure obtained from the latest transaction with the Five Elders Association: [Heavenly Drops and Earthly Dew]

This item was the sacred treasure of the ancient Divine Wood Sect, offering unparalleled benefits to plant life across the world.

Even though there was only a single drop, the Spirit Tree had still grown another fifty percent in size.

Its canopy had now reached the sky, looking as if it was about to pierce through the heavens.

This transformation benefited Lin Ling the most.

From barely possessing Dao Integration combat strength at birth, she had now solidly stepped into the Dao Integration realm within just a month.

And considering the Ancient Earth Vein Tree elder's silent guidance...

"Truly, comparing oneself to others only leads to frustration."

"Even forming a Nascent Soul is a struggle for me."

At the same time, Li Fan began to sense a fundamental truth—once resources reached a certain level, nurturing powerful cultivators became an incredibly simple matter.

"The prestigious families of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance surely aren't as straightforward as they appear on the surface."

After pondering for a moment, Li Fan refocused his attention on the countless treefolks spread across the land.

Their tasks were broadly divided into two categories.

One group was responsible for constructing the Federation of All Worlds's architectural complex.

The other group was transporting various materials to designated locations across the Spiritwood Realm in preparation for Formation Refining.

Formation Refining was a specialized method of refining magical treasures.

Besides the conventional techniques of fire refinement and blood essence refinement, this unique method involved engraving intricate formation patterns onto treasures.

Not only did this allow complete control over the artifact, but it also amplified its power using formation arrays.

Li Fan was not particularly skilled in the art of artifact refinement, and he certainly wasn’t going to start learning from scratch just to refine a single magical treasure.

However, since he possessed the supreme treasure, Final Dissociation Disc, Formation Refining was the perfect choice for him.

That said, after several transformations, the Spiritwood Realm had already expanded far beyond an ordinary small world.

Successfully refining it would take time and careful effort.
