Chapter 233 Rejuvenation! Lin Fan gets something for nothing?
"The head of the family."
"This matter is of great importance."
"Master Lin Fan and his apprentice are not here for the Crystal Flame, but..."
Hai Shaofeng found the head of the family, Hai Tianren, and several core senior executives, and told them all the details of his meeting with Master Lin Fan and his disciple.
Of course, the 'meeting gift' was not omitted.
Then he said: "The secret of the ancestor has been leaked!"
“It cannot be ignored.”
"At this moment, he wants to see the ancestor. What do you think we should do?"
For a moment, Hai Tianren and others looked at each other.
My heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
"He won't reveal how he learned this?"
Someone asked back.
Hai Shaofeng shook his head.
The man continued, "In my opinion, we should arrest the master and his apprentice and torture them severely. If that doesn't work, we can use the soul-searching technique!"
"This matter concerns our ancestor, and even more so the life and death and future of our entire family. We absolutely cannot afford to be careless."
"Once our enemies learn of this, our clan will... perish!"
"No matter how cruel the means, I still think it is necessary."
Hai Shaofeng's face twitched.
"That's one way, but how can you be sure that he didn't leave any backup plans? For example, if he can't go back or something unexpected happens to him, the news will spread all over the world immediately."
The elder's face fell and he remained silent.
Hai Tianren looked at everyone and asked, "Do you have any other good ideas?"
Everyone looked at each other.
A heated discussion ensued.
There were quite a lot of suggestions, but in the end, almost all of them were rejected.
Most of them were denied by Hai Shaofeng.
After all, you got the benefits, right?
What's more, some methods are indeed too radical and unsafe, and are prone to problems.
It's not that he is betraying the family just for the sake of benefits, but he is sincerely thinking about the family, there is nothing wrong with that!
“That’s enough!”
Finally, Hai Tianren put his hands together, looked at his eldest daughter, and said, "Danping, you haven't spoken yet, what do you think?"
He has always been very satisfied with his eldest daughter.
Not only is he gifted in spiritual practice, he is also very good at dealing with people and dealing with human relationships.
He is also extremely intelligent, and has always been trained by him as the young master of the family and successor.
The only problem is that she is a girl.
But the good thing is that it is a family of immortal cultivators, so it doesn't matter if she is a girl, as long as she has outstanding combat power and extraordinary wisdom. As for future generations, the worst that can happen is to marry a son-in-law!
Everyone was arguing at the moment, so he naturally wanted to hear Hai Danping's opinion.
"Father."
"Uncles."
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Hai Danping gently bowed and said, "Since you want to hear a few words from me, I will show you how to do it."
She was neither humble nor overbearing. As the only junior present, she was not afraid of the stage either. She said, "Just when the elders were arguing fiercely, I was listening and thinking."
"And I dare to think of something that you have never proposed, let alone discussed."
"Then, what if we let them meet the ancestor?"
Everyone was stunned.
Hai Danping added: "I know all the uncles are very anxious, but perhaps it is precisely because everyone is too anxious that they overlook this point."
"Indeed, the matter of the ancestor is a top secret of our clan. Once it is leaked, it will be a disaster."
"But now that they already know about it and it's been leaked anyway, why not show it to them openly?"
"What if we just let the ancestor see him?"
"The ancestor is fine now. Even if he leaks the news, nothing will happen to the Hai family in the short term."
"Meet him once, find out what he is up to, and then find a way to solve the problem."
"If we don't meet him, or even go to war, he might get angry and make the news public. Then, there will be no solution."
"We have been hiding all this time."
"If you can't hide it anymore, why bother trying to hide it?"
“Besides, Third Uncle said that this Sect Master Lin meant that they could solve the troubles of the ancestor.”
“If it can really be solved…”
Having said this, she stopped talking.
Conceal your achievements and fame.
Everyone looked at each other with a bit of surprise on their faces, but few of them seemed too unacceptable.
Hai Tianren glanced at his daughter, his eyes full of praise, and then said, "Say your opinion, the minority shall obey the majority."
······
"Master, I am really curious, what is the problem with this Haidongpo Sea Elder?"
In the secret room.
Xiao Ling'er couldn't help but ask through voice transmission, and said, "Master, please tell me the bottom line first, so I can prepare in advance."
"Guess." Lin Fan responded.
Xiao Linger: “(⊙o⊙)···”
“Could it be…” she guessed, “Someone sealed his fighting spirit and caused him to fall in realm?”
This is the plot in "Yandi" when the Ice Emperor Haibo Donghai Lao meets Xiao Huohuo.
Since she suspected that Lin Fan was a reborn person, she naturally couldn't help but guess in this direction.
Lin Fan wanted to laugh, and replied: "Actually, I don't know either."
"ah?"
Xiao Linger was confused: "Master, you don't know either? But just now, Master, you were so confident and said that we can solve this old man's problem..."
"That's what I said."
Lin Fan did not hide anything from Xiao Ling'er and said, "But in fact, I don't know. I don't even know if this old man Hai is really in any trouble."
"ah?"
"So what do you mean, Master?"
"right."
"I cheated him."
"I just tried it casually, but I didn't expect it to be so serious."
Xiao Linger: “!!!”
Medicine grandmother: “_(3」∠)_···”
Lin Fan added: "However, I am not being so mysterious just because I am impulsive. I think this is a high probability event."
"After all, how many people in this world, whether they are mortals or monks, are there without troubles?"
When Xiao Ling'er and Yao Lao heard this, they both felt that it made sense.
But I always feel something is wrong~!
Lin Fan said nothing more.
I can't just guess that I'm a time traveler based on the 'template' and big data, but I have to tell you, right?
······
"Go and ask the ancestor."
Hai Shaofeng, Hai Tianren and others set out together to their own forbidden area to welcome the ancestor.
en route.
The elder rolled his eyes and said cheerfully, "Shao Feng, we brothers know each other very well. What you did just now made me very curious."
"What are you curious about?"
Hai Shaofeng's heart skipped a beat and he became extremely alert.
"Nothing, just~"
The elder lowered his voice and asked, "You just said that Xiao Ling'er gave you some gifts?"
At the same time, he used his spiritual consciousness to transmit his voice, saying: "Everyone knows that Xiao Ling'er has an extraordinary talent for alchemy and possesses many kinds of strange fire. The gift she gave must be elixirs, right?"
"And you just spoke up for them like that, so I guess the quality of this medicine is not low?"
"Why don't you take this out and show it to me?"
Hai Shaofeng's face turned green.
Damn it!
I just put in too much effort and was discovered?
It was at this moment that the others started to speak up: "Yes, Third Brother!"
"Anyway, I'm on the road and have nothing to do, so I might as well take it out and have a look at it."
"We are also quite curious about what the gift is."
Hai Shaofeng was numb.
Is this how you bully people?
Show you?
I've shown them to you. How many can I still keep?
You wish!
His face straightened: "What are you curious about?"
"What's so strange?"
"It's just a greeting gift. You are all powerful beings in the eighth realm. The eighth realm!"
"What kind of greeting gift can a junior of the sixth realm give? It's just courtesy. As an elder, I can't reach out and hit someone who smiles at me, right?"
"As for the effort just now..."
"What kind of help?"
"Where did the old man contribute?"
"It's just a matter of arguing and analyzing thoroughly!"
"I don't care about the gift at all. I didn't even look at it. I don't even know if it's valuable or not. I've always been devoted to my family and I have no second thoughts~!"
At this moment, Hai Shaofeng raised his hands high, as if taking an oath.
Can you guys see this?
Pooh!
Absolutely not!
Seeing him like this, everyone was speechless.
Only the Great Elder looked at him deeply, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was smiling.
Hmm~
There are so many people here now, I won’t argue with you.
I'll come back to you later.
He blinked.
Hai Shaofeng's face gradually darkened.
Damn it!
This old guy is really smart.
However, it is better to be known by one person than by everyone.
I can bear it!
At this moment, they arrived at the clan's forbidden area. Hai Shaofeng quickly changed the subject: "Now that we're here, let's quickly invite the ancestor."
“···”
After a moment.
They awakened the ancestor Hai Dongpo who was practicing in seclusion.
It is said that there is no year in the mountains, and you don’t know the year when the cold ends.
This is true for ordinary people, and it is even more so for cultivators, especially those at a high level.
The ninth realm is already the "peak" of the Xianwu Continent.
A cultivator at this level can live for tens or even millions of years!
The biggest dream of almost all ninth-level cultivators is to practice hard and ascend to heaven as soon as possible.
Whether or not one has the talent, and whether or not one can ascend to heaven is not discussed for now.
Effort is always necessary.
At least you need to try, right?
Hai Dongpo is naturally no exception. Although there are some problems, it has been working hard on this road. No matter how fast it goes, it is always moving forward.
Now, he has reached the second level of 'Xiantai'.
At the third stage, we can already see some "back figures".
It will take time.
Therefore, unless there is a major event related to the entire tribe, Hai Dongpo will not come out, but will practice in seclusion deep in the forbidden area alone, often for a hundred years or a thousand years...
Hai Dongpo was a little confused after being suddenly awakened.
After a while, he gradually woke up.
“Ancestor!”
Hai Tianren stepped forward and told him everything that happened today, and said: "After we discuss it, we hope you can meet him. Although we think the success rate is very low, if it succeeds..."
"I see."
Hai Dongpo nodded slightly, waved his sleeves, and stood up from the futon: "Let's go."
He didn't say much.
But decided to meet him.
自己的秘密，说句不好听的，真就只有自己与眼前这些人知晓，全都是海家核心，也不可能会叛变，更不可能将消息传递出去。
那林凡既然能知晓此事，便代表其不凡。
或许···
还真有可能解决这个麻烦。
就算解决不了，也有必要见上一见，一探究竟。
“那···我等便不去了。”
海天任琢磨后，认为太多人去不好，便又道：“丹萍，你陪老祖前往。”
“是，家主。”
······
密室内。
小七百无聊赖，已与萧灵儿聊上了。
也就是此刻。
密室内突然人影一闪。
两道身影，出现在小七身后。
她毫无察觉，惊呼道：“嘶！揽月宗竟然真经历了如此之多、且如此惊人的凶险？当真是令人震惊，叹为观止！”
“萧姐姐好生厉害啊。”
正说着。
却见林凡两人看向自己身后，不由一愣。
神识一扫···
这不啥也没有吗？
回头一看！
“啊？！”
“大···大姐？”
“老祖？！”
小七惊呼出声。
“无妨。”
海丹萍微微一笑，对林凡两人道：“林宗主、萧姑娘，这位，便是我家老祖。”
“见过海老。”
林凡两人起身，拱手。
海东坡身为第九境，却也并不倨傲，他拱手回应，轻声道：“坐。”
众人落座。
小七连忙端茶倒水。
海丹萍有些聊聊家常。
奈何海东坡却并无此意，开门见山道：“你们真能解决老夫，或者说我海家的麻烦？”
萧灵儿心头一震，看向林凡。
林凡点头，又摇头。
“这是何意？”海丹萍追问。
海老则是双目紧盯林凡，后者无奈一笑：“我们师徒二人只是道听途说，虽然对海老你的问题有些了解，但太过片面。”
“只能说，若是只如同我们了解那般，我们的确有把握将其解决。”
“可若是其中还有隐情、或是其他特殊缘由，我们师徒二人却是不敢保证了。”
“妙啊！”萧灵儿识海中，药姥击节赞叹。
猛拍大腿。
可惜，她没有实体：“方才我还在想，他难道就不怕露馅么？但这般说辞，却是可解决大部分问题了。”
“师尊！”
萧灵儿双目闪亮。
自己的师尊，当真是机智过人呀！
······
“哦？”
海老深深看了林凡一眼，第一次露出笑容。
只是这笑容，有些意味深长的味道。
“也好。”
“那···”
“老夫便与你仔细说道说道。”
他挥手。
刹那间仙力弥漫开来，布下超强禁制与结界，除非实力远强于他，否则，便不可能有人能探听他们的对话。
林凡师徒，也不可能通过任何方式将消息传出去。
“老夫的问题，说来，其实很简单。”
“每隔万年便会返老还童一次，不仅仅是身体、长相、年龄。”
“包括身体机能，乃至修为，都是如此。”
海老轻叹。
“什么？！”
小七猛然捂嘴，大吃一惊：“返···老还童？！怎么会？”
“就是返老还童。”
他轻声道：“每隔万年，便会返老还童一次，而这个过程，将维持千年，前五百年，每天我都会变的更年轻，修为也会一天天倒退。”
“直到第五百年，变为襁褓中的婴孩儿，修为全无，甚至连思绪都与婴孩儿无异。”
“后五百年，则是迅速成长，从身体、到心智、再到修为，都是如此。”
“每隔万年便会来上这样一次，循环往复，周而复始。”
小七吃惊不已。
林凡却是面不改色。
萧灵儿也是满脸‘淡定’的点头，好似早已知晓这些，但实则，她心中却已然掀起惊涛骇浪。
“还···还有这种事？”
“老师可曾听过？”
药姥：“···”
“听说，上界某些强横存在，可掌控时间规则，出手之间，时间逆流，让人瞬间‘逆行一生’，变成婴孩儿，随后将其轻松斩杀。”
“但这等每隔万年便返老还童，却又会自行长回来的情况，却是闻所未闻。”
萧灵儿心头更是吃惊。
“那这等麻烦，我···或者说老师您，有把握吗？”
药姥沉默。
而后道：“不好说，还需了解更多细节。”
······
“与我们的了解，相差无几。”
林凡点头，好似早已知晓，实则···知晓个锤子。
其实，他看海东坡的表情，就知道海东坡不信。
毕竟是第九境大佬，人老成精，岂会那般容易被自己忽悠？
又不是傻子！
或者说···其实自己应该将龙傲娇带来，有她的降智光环在，或许还真能把他骗到？但很显然，现在是骗不到的。
林凡估摸着，海东坡知道自己在忽悠。
但他却也不急。
反正自己没办法将消息传出去，因此，他十有八九是想看看自己葫芦里到底卖的是什么药。
若是自己能解决这个问题，自然是皆大欢喜，他也无需撕破脸皮。
若是解决不了，或是有什么坏心思，他也可直接出手将自己灭杀。
“！”
好家伙。
这个海老，心机颇深啊。
林凡心思急转，看似却一切尽在掌握，问道：“不知海老你可曾弄清楚，是何原因导致每隔万年便会返老还童一次？”
“说来惭愧。”
“我们师徒二人只是道听途说，知晓有返老还童这个问题，却不知具体细节，更不知缘由。”
“若是能了解清楚些，想来，我们解决问题之时，也会更有把握。”
海丹萍眉头微皱，看向海东坡。
海东坡海老却是微微一笑，示意她稍安勿躁：“好。”
“此事，说来惭愧，缘由，其实我很清楚。”
“严格而言，这问题，并非只有老夫一人拥有，而是···海家这些年来，除初代三人中的其中之二外，所有第九境，都受此困扰。”
“？！”
萧灵儿大惊，面色微变。
林凡也是颇为诧异，脑海中思绪万千：“莫非？！”
“猜到了？”
海老洒脱一笑：“哪有什么巧合？”
“外界传言，我海家气运过人，每一位第九境战死、飞升或是老死之后，都有一位新的第九境无缝衔接，可完美保证海家传承。”
“但事实上，怎么可能会有如此之多的巧合？”
“不过是我海家的特殊传承之法罢了。”
“我···”
“也并非真正的第九境。”
“或者说，并非只是单纯靠自己跨入第九境。”
他细细讲来：“我海家，有一门镇族秘法。”
“亦是传承之法。”
“第九境之人，可凝结‘传承印记’，并在所需之时，传给后人。”
“接受传承者，只要修为已到第八境巅峰，便可立刻跨入第九登仙境，成为第九境修士，继续庇护族群。”
“而一旦将传承印记交出去。”
“其自身，只有两种可能。”
“一、飞升上界，摆脱桎梏。”
“二、死！”
“至于返老还童，便是这秘法的后遗症。”
“凭此秘法，我海家一直传承至今，且每一代都有第九境存在坐镇，看似超然。”
“实则，却是不敢泄露哪怕半点。”
“否则···”
他没多言。
但结果，不用想也知道。
“可惜。”
“第九境太难，这些年来，我海家，竟无一人能凭借自己跨入第九境啊。”
“因此，这隐秘，哪怕是在我海家族内，也只有仅仅十余人知晓。”
“问题，就是如此。”
海老说完，微微往后一靠，看向林凡与萧灵儿：“不知。”
“两位可有解决之法？”
“若有。”
“我，以及整个海家，都欠下两位天大人情。”
“无论你们要什么，只要我与海家拥有，都可给你们。”
“同时，海家愿与你等结成攻守同盟。”
“永不背叛。”
说到此处，海老不再开口，只是静静盯着林凡与萧灵儿。
该说的，自己都已说了。
许诺也已给出。
那么，让老夫看看吧。
你们究竟是真有本事，还是坑蒙拐骗？
若是真有本事，老夫与海家自然不会亏待你们师徒二人，可若是···
海丹萍只是静静看着。
小七更是大气都不敢喘一口。
如此隐秘，让她实在无法淡定。
而林凡、萧灵儿与药姥‘两人一魂’，则是在绞尽脑汁，思考该如何破局。
人家冰帝海东坡已然答应了。
只要能解决问题，要什么都给。
自然也包括水晶焰！
换言之，只要能解决问题，此行便算圆满，甚至，若是再结成攻守同盟，还是超额完成任务。
只是···
该如何解决此事？
萧灵儿全无头绪。
药姥见多识广，当初活的足够久，知道的多，但此刻，却也是脑子里一团乱麻。
见的多归多。
会的丹方更是堪称海量。
可是···
却没有任何一种丹方，能对症下药解决这个问题啊。
至于其他法子，药姥便更是无能为力了。
她最擅长的便是炼丹···
她都无能为力，萧灵儿更是无能为力。
毕竟如今的萧灵儿，还不至于超越药姥巅峰时期。
林凡···
炼药手段比萧灵儿稍强一些，却也强的有限。
他略一琢磨，便觉得有些不妥。
丹药，怕是很难解决这个问题！
但人家正盯着呢，自己总要想个办法出来才是，既然丹药大概率不行，那不如···换个角度想想？！
“海老与海家的问题，我已彻底了解清楚。”
林凡心思急转，一边思考，一边缓缓开口：“与其说是海老您一人的问题，倒不如说，此乃整个海家的问题。”
“也是海家传承秘法的问题。”
“想要解决，不外乎两种方式。”
“一、改进传承秘法，弥补‘缺陷’，让后遗症消失。”
“不错。”
海老点头：“此法我尝试过多年，我的先辈，也尝试过不知多少次，但无人能够成功。”
“前无古人。”
林凡微微颔首：“却并不代表后无来者。”
“此事暂且不谈。”
“至于这第二种方式，便是···”
“帮海家，培养一位新的第九境出来！”
“此法，从长远来看，或许是治标不治本，但至少在这位新第九境存在的这段岁月之中，海家，将无比稳固。”
“对外，海家拥有两位第九境，自然可以继续扩张，获得更多资源，从而加大投入，再培养后代，等待新的第九境出现···”
“第一种方式治本。”
“第二种方式治标，却也未必不能治本。”
“海老以为如何？”
“思路不错。”海老点头：“都可解燃眉之急，若我族有第二位第九境，我是否返老还童，自然便没那般重要了。”
“就算消息泄露，也无需太过担心。”
“但···”
“无论是哪种方式，想要办到，都难如登天！”
“不急。”
林凡自信一笑，又道：“其实，我还有第三个提议。”
“帮海家培养新第九境存在的同时，将那秘法交给我，再给我一些时间，我来替你们改进，弥补缺陷、剔除后遗症！”
“如此！”
“海家除非遭遇灭顶之灾，否则，将再无之前的顾虑！”
唰！
所有人同时扭头，死死盯着林凡，目中都满是震惊。
无论是海老、海丹萍亦或是小七。
甚至就连萧灵儿与药姥，也是震惊不已，头皮发麻。
想要做到其中之一，便已经是难如登天了。
结果你倒好，上下嘴皮子一碰，直接就要两种一起完成？？！
这这这···
可能吗？！
就算怀疑林凡是重生者的药姥，也是打心底里认为这不可能。
“后生可畏！”
“好一个后生可畏。”
海老终究是第九境，他最先冷静下来，沉声道：“这个法子，自然是再好不过，若是能办到，便是完美解决此事。”
“若如此，我海家，莫说是与你结为攻守同盟，就是替你卖命数次又何妨？”
“但，你能办到么？”
“我又凭什么认为，你能办到！”
“仅凭你师徒二人？”
“还是再加上你揽月宗？”
他顿了顿，又道：“并非老夫看不起你等，但我族先祖惊才绝艳之辈何其多？他们都无法办到其中之一，你却要一同完成。”
“着实很难让人信服。”
“或者说···”
“给老夫一个相信你们的理由。”
“其实，很简单。”
林凡竖起一根手指。
“这些年来，海家一直未曾培养出靠‘自己’修行而成的第九境，想来···原因并不复杂，要嘛，功法不合适，要嘛，天赋不足，再则，便是气运、资源方面的问题。”
“我不怀疑海家有帝经，但是否合适？”
“海家这么多年来，必然也有惊才绝艳之辈，可···他们既然无法突破，是否便代表天赋还差了些许？”
“至于资源，或许，量是够了。”
“但···”
“质呢？！”
海老眉头一挑：“哦？”
“年轻人，有话直说便是。”
“好。”
林凡笑着点头：“帝经，海家必然有，但想来也不会太多，巧的是，我们揽月宗也有一些。”
“若是海家愿意，咱们可以一换一，如此一来，双方可供选择都更多一些，也可拥有更多可能性。”
“甚至，海家还可找一些信得过的势力与他们交换或购买，想来，多一些选择，总能多几分成功率。”
海老不置可否：“继续。”
林凡依旧笑着，道：“至于天赋和资源嘛，其实可以混为一谈。”
“所谓修行资源，不外乎是各种灵石、天材地宝、丹药等，其中，丹药最为好用。”
“至于天赋···也可通过丹药来提升。”
“不敢说有多大把握，但若是能通过丹药提升天赋，哪怕只是一丝，也是大有好处。”
“再加上充足的高品质丹药，我想，只要时间足够长、只要舍得付出，就是堆，也能堆出一位第九境来吧？”
当然，林凡话中之意，不是随便拿个人来‘堆’。
而是从天赋本就不错，本就是第八境巅峰或是第八境七八九重的修士来堆。
能修炼到这种程度，足以证明他们天赋不算差，离第九境当然有差距，可···堆一堆，疯狂氪金之下，却未必不可能成功。
“这一点，我们自然早已想到。”
海丹萍忍不住开口：“也曾进行过许多次尝试，甚至动用一切人脉、不惜代价，但都失败了。”
“毕竟，高品质丹药本身便可遇不可求。”
“充足供应何其艰难？更何况还要还能提升第八境巅峰修士天赋的丹药，那更是稀罕物中的稀罕物。”
“此举···”
“不太现实。”
海老轻轻点头。
聪明人并非只有林凡一个，海家这么多人、这么多年下来，自然是能想的办法都想过、试过了，只可惜，都没能成功。
“不太现实，也要分人。”
林凡此刻，却是自信一笑。
萧灵儿眨巴着眼。
药姥则提醒她做好准备。
同时，林凡神识传音询问药姥是否与海家有什么仇怨。
得到否定回答之后，林凡微微一笑，更自信了。
“哦？”
海老好奇：“如此说来，你是认为，自己能拿出堪称海量的高品质丹药来？否则，为何如此自信？”
“难道···”
“就凭萧灵儿小友？”
被突然点名，萧灵儿不由昂首挺胸。
本就过人的道理，此刻更显挺拔。
“不错，就凭她。”
“隆重介绍一番。”
林凡面色一正：“我之首徒，丹道宗师萧灵儿。”
“有所耳闻，但还不够。”海老摇头。
“那么···”
“再加上梁丹霞梁老传人的身份又如何？”
“？！”
小七一脸茫然。
海丹萍面色微变。
梁丹霞这个名字，她听‘见过’，但一时间却想不出来是在哪本书上看过。
但海东坡海老却是霍然起身：“你是说···”
“丹帝梁丹霞？！”
“丹帝？”小七吃惊。
海丹萍猛然反应过来：“丹帝梁丹霞！丹道大宗师之中的绝顶！从小便展露惊人天赋，在丹道之上一骑绝尘，远超同龄炼丹师，甚至不过五百岁，便已冠绝整个仙武大陆，堪称前无古人···”
“其后一路高歌猛进，在第八境时，还未入第九境‘成帝’，便已拥有丹帝之名，且无人不服。”
“所有人都认为她成为真正的丹帝只是时间问题，毕竟哪怕诸多‘大帝’都要上门求药，却不曾想，在约七千年前的某一日，丹帝却突然消失无踪，生命玉简也碎裂了···”
“从那之后，再无丹帝消息。”
“至此，丹帝已成绝响。”
“人们皆默认丹帝已然遭遇不测。”
“其徒更是不止一次表示要查出凶手，为其复仇···”
“嘶！！！”小七听的头皮发麻。
好一个丹帝。
简直逆天呀！
而海丹萍又道：“丹帝已然消失七千余年，你不过二十余岁，却说自己乃是丹帝传人？”
“莫要怪我等怀疑，但这的确不太可信！”
“理解。”
林凡笑着点头：“但真的假不了，假的真不了。”
“灵儿。”
“是，师尊。”
她已然明白自己师尊的想法，当即取出一枚九品破虚丹，屈指一弹，落入海老手中。
八阶丹药，对海老而言自然没有多大用处。
但八阶九品，却足以说明太多问题！
“九品！！！”
海丹萍心都在发颤。
若是有足够多的八阶九品丹药，再整几枚高品质九阶丹药，似乎···培养出新的第九境来，也并非不可能之事吧？
“是你炼的？”
她不由发问。
萧灵儿淡然点头。
既然自己师尊在为自己造势，那自然要有‘格调’一些。
堂堂丹道宗师级人物，按理说，就算是面对第九境，面子上也是过的去的，自然不用低三下四、卑微面对。
何况，还不惜告诉他们自己是药姥传人？
就算不为自己，为了药姥这个丹帝的名头，也得霸气一些。
只是~
林凡与萧灵儿直到此刻才知晓，原来药姥的名头如此之大。
丹帝啊！
嘶！
“八阶丹药而已，我已几乎尽皆掌握，不在话下。”
“若是不信，现场炼制一炉亦无妨。”
萧灵儿自信满满，甚至有些傲然。
此举，让海丹萍心神巨震。
I couldn't help but look at Ebi.
Hai Lao smiled slightly and said, "Little friend Ling'er, you are worrying too much. The aura in this pill is exactly the same as yours. If it wasn't you who made it, who made it?"
"Of course I believe it."
He flicked his fingers and returned the pill to Xiao Ling'er, then said solemnly: "As for the pill, I no longer have any doubts."
"Since you are the descendant of the Dan Emperor, there will be no problem."
"but···"
"It's just an eighth-level elixir, but it's not enough. And with my current cultivation level, it's probably impossible to refine a ninth-level elixir."
"However, there are only five years left before I can regain my youth again."
"And I have received news that although those enemies did not know that I would regain my youth, they decided to launch a fierce attack within the next hundred years due to coincidence."
"So, five years..."
"I'm afraid it's not enough."
It’s not that he didn’t believe that Xiao Ling’er would definitely be able to refine high-quality ninth-grade elixirs in the future.
But that takes time.
But unfortunately, the Hai family doesn’t have time!
"Indeed, with Ling'er's current cultivation and state, she is still unable to refine a ninth-grade elixir, but... there is a shortcut!"
Lin Fan's true colors are revealed.
Xiao Ling'er held her breath.
Medicine Grandma was worried.
Hai Lao was not surprised: "Crystal flame?"
"good!"
"Strange fire is undoubtedly like a tiger with wings, or a blessing from heaven, for an alchemist!"
"To be honest, the reason why we, master and disciple, came here is for the Crystal Flame. If Ling'er can obtain the Crystal Flame, her cultivation will skyrocket in a short period of time, and her alchemy skills will also be greatly improved."
"Five years by then?"
“Perhaps in just a few months, she will be able to refine ninth-level elixirs!”
Lin Fan was neither humble nor arrogant, and spoke freely: "Of course, whether they are willing or not, the decision is in the hands of Mr. Hai and the Hai family."
"After all, that's the No. 1 ranking on the Strange Fire List."
Hai Danping's scalp felt numb.
In this matter, she is not qualified to make the decision, let alone give suggestions.
All I could do was look at Hai Dongpo and wait for his decision.
"Actually, I am a little curious."
Lin Fan added: "The Crystal Flame has been in the Hai family for many years, but I have never seen the Hai family use it... nor have they ever taken it out to exchange for other natural treasures and resources."
"I wonder what role this crystal flame plays in the Hai family?"
Lin Fan had already explained everything, so Hai Dongpo didn't think of hiding it anymore and said, "When passing on the secrets of my clan, we must use the crystal flame!"
Lin Fan suddenly realized.
"I see!"
"That makes sense."
"But if that's the case, it doesn't mean that I can't give the Crystal Flame to Ling'er. I can ask her to swear an oath that when the Hai family needs the Crystal Flame as a legacy, she will come here immediately and provide the Crystal Flame to help you with the legacy."
"At the same time, she who has obtained the Crystal Flame will be able to provide the Hai family with high-quality elixirs in the near future to help you cultivate the ninth realm without relying on secret methods and break through on your own."
"Isn't this a win-win situation?"
"Besides, I promise you that within ten years, I will eliminate the flaws in your inherited method. How about that?"
He stared at Ebi with burning eyes.
Ebi was silent.
His eyes flickered slightly, weighing the gains and losses.
At first glance, there is nothing wrong with Lin Fan’s proposal, and it can be called a win-win situation.
But in fact...
No matter how you look at it, it seems like Lin Fan is getting something for nothing!
In other words, if you agree.
Not only did he have to give the crystal flame to Xiao Ling'er, he also had to give the clan's secret method to Lin Fan.
On the other hand, Lin Fan and the others, at least for now, will not give anything to themselves and the Hai family. Everything has to wait!
If this isn’t just getting something for nothing, what is this?
