“Moreover, there seem to be more than two Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldrons.”

“Without sufficient strength, the Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron would not be an opportunity, but rather a death note.”

“However, to knowingly watch such a treasure be buried deep underground, and ultimately taken by someone else, goes against my wishes.”

“Perhaps, I could use this as a catalyst to stir up a storm. And if I could figure out the secret behind the returning Medicine King Cauldron along the way, that would be even better.”

Li Fan’s thoughts churned.

“But before that, let’s have Jiao Xiuyuan dig up the Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron first.”

“Speaking of which, just how much did Jiao Xiuyuan lose, and why hasn’t he replied to me?”

“The Thousand Miles Hall has also not been open for business.”

Feeling somewhat helpless, Li Fan had no choice but to use his other self to send another message to Jiao Xiuyuan.

Who would have thought that this time the other party would respond quickly.

The tone was even somewhat innocent.

“What? I didn’t reply to you? How could that be!”

“I’ve already recovered from my injuries! But there was a small problem, the

Thousand Miles Hall can’t open for business for the time being.”

Li Fan was a bit speechless: “Look at your message history.”

A moment later, Jiao Xiuyuan apologized hastily: “Ah, my oversight! I really didn’t notice! But you can’t blame me. I am overwhelmed with things to handle right now!”

“I thought you ran away because of the massive losses.” Li Fan joked.

“Hehe, you’re joking. The business is where my path lies. How could I give up so easily. But under the current special circumstances, managing so many puppets with my own strength is indeed challenging. To avoid messing up more business and causing bigger losses, I had to put some less important shops on hold.”

Jiao Xiuyuan’s speech was intermittent, somewhat resembling the network lag that Li Fan was familiar with.

Li Fan couldn’t help but ask: “Huh? Does it mean that there is a problem with the technique you practice? Can you reveal what it is?”

“Hehe, there’s nothing unspeakable about it. You are my business partner, last time it was because of me that you suffered a lot of losses. You didn’t even complain, and I felt a bit guilty.” Jiao Xiuyuan was quite polite.

“As you know, the technique I cultivate is called ‘Ten Thousand Puppets Dao’. By controlling ten thousand puppets, I procure materials, gather information, and negotiate business deals, thus reducing the operating cost of the Thousand

Miles Hall to the lowest.”

“But after all, there are limits to a person’s mental attention. Handling two or three matters at the same time could be maintained barely, but to fluidly maneuver tens of thousands of puppets is beyond my ability.”

Jiao Xiuyuan said in bits and pieces.

At this moment, Li Fan just happened to ask: “So what method did you use before to ensure that such a large number of puppets were operating properly? Could it be some kind of multitasking technique?”

“The effect is indeed multitasking, but what it relies on is not a technique, but an ancient secret art!” Jiao Xiuyuan said with some pride. “In order to find this secret art, I almost turned over half of the Immortal Cultivation World.”

“An ancient secret art?” Li Fan’s eyes narrowed, and he couldn’t help asking.

Seeing that Li Fan seemed to be very interested, Jiao Xiuyuan didn’t keep him in suspense, and directly asked, “Do you know about the ancient Taiyan Sect?”

“Taiyan Sect?” Li Fan was taken aback, and couldn’t help but recall the Tomb of Yi Xing buried deep under Da Xuan.

That Yi Xing happened to be an outer disciple of the Taiyan Sect.

And he himself once pretended to be a descendant of the Taiyan Sect in front of Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi, deceiving them into repairing the Tai Yan Boat for him.

Who would have thought that the multitasking method he desired would be related to the Taiyan Sect?

Seeing that Li Fan did not respond, Jiao Xiuyuan thought he didn’t understand, so he simply introduced, “The Taiyan Sect, was a famous sect in the ancient times for its prophecy and calculation techniques.”

“Its signature technique, ‘Yantian Nine Scrolls’, is mysteriously powerful and infinitely powerful. If cultivated to perfection, it is claimed to be able to predict all people and all things within a thousand years.”

“Hehe. Of course, this secret art of mine has nothing to do with the ‘Yantian Nine Scrolls’.”

Jiao Xiuyuan changed the topic abruptly, making Li Fan almost choke on his breath.

“However, this secret art was compulsory for all disciples of the Taiyan Sect.” Jiao Xiuyuan explained.

“Oh? How so?”

“Just think about it, everything in the world, every person, every thing, influences each other all the time.”

“One change results in many, and many changes lead to thousands. How vast this world is.”

“The number of variables is unimaginable.”

“Even for an Integration Cultivator, it is impossible to grasp all these variables.”

“And the ability to grasp the variables correlates closely with the accuracy of the predictions. ”

“Therefore, every disciple of Taiyan Sect dedicates his life to improving his control over variables. ”

Jiao Xiuyuan explained eloquently.

“In simple terms, this ability is a cultivator’s calculation ability. Some cultivators, gifted and exceptional in calculation, despite being overwhelmed with numerous threads, see all variables as orderly and crystal clear in their eyes.”

“But such cultivators are indeed few and far between. Even in the Taiyan Sect of the ancient times, they were extremely rare.”

“So how would ordinary disciples of the Taiyan Sect improve their calculation abilities?”

Jiao Xiuyuan paused.

Li Fan interjected: “So, is this where your secret art comes in?

“Correct!” Jiao Xiuyuan excitedly revealed the mystery.

“For cultivators, the ability to skillfully exploit artifacts for their benefit is crucial! If one is unable to conjure such power, they can compensate using external objects!”

“This fascinating technique is known as [Transmutation Divine One].” “In ancient times, Taiyan Sect harbored a treasure known as Transmutation

Stone.”

“Visually, the radiance within the Transmutation Stone sparkles luminously, with countless worlds seemingly born and dying within the blink of an eye.” “However, these worlds appearing and disappearing are not mere illusions.”

“They are the projections of the calculations performed by the Transmutation Stone. Despite seeming illusory, they are far from it.”

“The technique of [Transmutation Divine One] involves using secret methods to merge one’s spirit consciousness with the Transmutation Stone.”

“Thus, the terrifyingly advanced calculating power of the Transmutation Stone can be employed to glimpse at the heavenly secrets and uncover the principle of cause and effect.”

Jiao Xiuyuan’s tone became increasingly fluent.

“Back in the day, almost every member of the Taiyan sect possessed a

Transmutation Stone, all of which were born from the largest one, the

[Transmutation Stone Mother].”

“The purer the quality of the Transmutation Stone, the stronger its calculating ability.”

“The reason I could easily manipulate thousands of puppets is because of the

Transmutation Stone working in conjunction with [Transmutation Divine

One].”

“The slight issue that we are experiencing now is also related to the Transmutation Stone.”

“The last Spirit Mist Grass price collapse resulted in a huge loss for me. The severe fluctuations in my spirit consciousness due to thousands of puppets and the poor quality of the stone I merged with were too much to bear, causing it to crack open and lose its calculation function.”

Jiao Xiuyuan sighed deeply as he recalled this painful memory.

“To regain smooth control over the puppets, I need to find a new

Transmutation Stone.”

“This is an extremely rare item and is not for sale.”

“When the Great Calamity struck and Taiyan Sect was destroyed, Stone Mother disappeared without a trace. After all these years, it’s as challenging as ascending to heaven to find a Transmutation Stone.”

“However, I’ve recently stumbled upon some information. If everything goes smoothly, we should be able to resume our operations shortly.”

Jiao Xiuyuan’s tone perked up again.

“Transmutation Stone, Transmutation Divine One.”

Li Fan pondered for a moment, then cautiously asked, “The Taiyan Sect has been destroyed for a myriad of years. How come you’re so familiar with the sect’s secrets? Could it be that you are a descendent of the Taiyan Sect?”

“Don’t joke around. Of course, I am not a descendent of the Taiyan Sect. The reason I know these secrets is because I happened to dig up the grave of a

Taiyan Sect disciple…”

Li Fan fell silent upon hearing this.

The two were momentarily plunged into an eerie silence.

“Haha, don’t get me wrong. I only enjoy grave digging once in a while. The sources of the goods in my Thousand Miles Hall are clean, and only a few are from tombs.’

“Don’t worry about it. I am not particularly careful about where my items come from. My belief is: use it if it works,” said Li Fan.

“Amazing, your words precisely match my belief!” Jiao Xiuyuan’s excitement was rekindled.

Remembering why he contacted Jiao Xiuyuan in the first place, Li Fan continued, “Speaking of which, I have a favor to ask.”

Jiao Xiuyuan immediately responded, “Just speak up. I can certainly lend a hand if it’s within my power.”

“You should know of the ancient Medicine King Sect, right? Today, when I was doing some reading, I found out that the members of the Medicine King Sect used a type of small cauldron to grow and cultivate various spiritual plants.” “This small cauldron has its own dedicated space, which generates wood attribute spiritual energy, speeding up the growth of herbs.” “I need precisely this type of small cauldron to cultivate a rare herb.”

“However, it seems that the ruins of the Medicine King Sect are quite dangerous, so I would like to ask you to make a trip and find a few of these small cauldrons for me.”

“Of course, your remuneration is guaranteed. Although our quests coincide and I enjoy your company, I believe business is business and should never be vague,” Li Fan said with a smile.

Jiao Xiuyuan completely agreed with him.

“Well said, business is business. Simply because of this phrase, I will certainly help! The cauldron, huh? Each student was given one and it wasn’t particularly rare, so it shouldn’t be hard to find.’

“Just wait for my good news.” Jiao Xiuyuan promptly agreed.

“In that case, I’ll have to thank you in advance, Dao friend Jiao!” Li Fan expressed his gratitude ahead of time.

After some small talk, without talking about the Transmutation Stone or [Transmutation Divine One], Li Fan ended the conversation.

“The tomb of the Taiyan Sect Disciple, the Transmutation Stone…”

Inside the Tianxuan Mirror, scenes of Li Fan, still a mortal tutor at the time, leading others on an exploration of the Tomb of Yi Xing, floated into his consciousness.

“I was still a mere mortal back then and didn’t pay any heed.” “But now that I think back, there was more to that Yi Xing Tomb.”

“The Immortal Realm is void of spiritual energy, yet within the tomb, mountains stood tall, and the cloud sea was undying after a thousand years.”

“It’s evident that it wasn’t a mortal mechanism but likely some array technique or prohibition.”

Li Fan abruptly stood up.

“In this case, I should pay Da Xuan a visit!”
