Chapter 1013: This Is the Perk of Being a Little Brother

"This is a set of lower-grade immortal artifacts, the Eight Desolations War Blood Banner. When unfurled against an enemy, it takes on the momentum of a thousand troops and ten thousand horses. Even a True Immortal realm expert, caught within it, would be suppressed by this killing aura."

"This is a supreme treasure, the Azure Sky Blue Robe, capable of withstanding a full-force strike from a True Immortal."

The old man introduced various treasures to Lin Fan. Qiu Zhanyu and Jinzhengu were dazzled by these treasures—they were all fine treasures indeed.

But to Lin Fan, they weren't of much interest. He could refine such things himself, but even if he did, they would only be ornaments, utterly unremarkable.

Seeing that Lin Fan seemed uninterested, the old man led him to another area.

"Oh?"

At that moment, Lin Fan's interest was piqued by something before him.

"This is a lower-grade immortal herb, the Bitter Yellow Springs Grass, which grows in the deathlands of the Yellow Springs. It's excellent for refining pills," the old man said.

Lin Fan glanced at the price: one million immortal crystals. A bit steep, of course. For others, it might be expensive, but for Lin Fan, it was nothing.

An ordinary alchemist, using an immortal herb to refine pills, naturally couldn't guarantee a hundred percent success. Spending such a high price on a single herb, if the refinement failed, would be a huge loss.

"I'll take ten of these," Lin Fan said.

"Alright," the old man nodded.

They continued browsing. Lin Fan ignored everything else, focusing solely on spirit herbs or immortal herbs.

After a full round, sixty million immortal crystals were spent to the last.

But Lin Fan was satisfied. He had bought so many medicinal ingredients that he could refine plenty of pills. He was currently at the Xuanhuan Great Perfection realm; if he could break through to the Golden Immortal realm,

that would truly be a soaring leap, becoming a regional overlord.

After the old man saw Lin Fan off, he returned indoors.

Nanyangzi entered. "Sir, I could have handled the reception. Why did you have to attend to him personally?"

The old man looked at Nanyangzi and smiled. "If I hadn't attended personally, how would I know what herbs he bought and how many?"

"Sir, I don't understand," Nanyangzi asked, puzzled.

"I've memorized every herb he bought and the quantity. From that, I can try to refine the pills he sells and even figure out the proportions of the ingredients."

"If the Shenyun Heavenly Commerce can refine such pills, what does the Junbaoxuan Commerce have to compete with us?" the old man said.

Nanyangzi suddenly understood. "Sir, you are wise."

"Haha," the old man laughed.

"Should we send someone to follow those three?" Nanyangzi asked.

The old man waved his hand. "No need. That man's cultivation is higher than mine, and he's a major customer. If we displease him, the loss would outweigh the gain."

If Lin Fan knew that the old man had been so enthusiastic in hosting him just to reverse-engineer his pills, he would have cursed angrily.

Refine your sister!

Lin Fan had bought these herbs based solely on which were cheaper or more useful.

He didn't even know what pills these herbs could refine.

Without the system, even with his current strength, Lin Fan couldn't refine such pills. So the old man was doomed to fail.

…

"Big brother, what are we going to do with all these herbs?" Qiu Zhanyu asked.

He was now utterly in awe of Lin Fan, feeling he hadn't chosen the wrong person to follow.

This boss was truly domineering.

"Refine pills," Lin Fan said with a smile.

Those sixty million immortal crystals were worthless to Lin Fan; they weren't as valuable as these herbs.

They found an inn and settled in.

Lin Fan immediately threw himself into pill refining.

All in one pot.

He tossed all the spirit herbs and immortal herbs inside.

Crackle!

With a single thought, the pills were formed, expelling all impurities from the herbs.

"Ding, congratulations on successful pill refinement."

Open the furnace.

Glistening pills floated in the void.

Lin Fan grabbed a handful of pills and stuffed them into his mouth.

Crunchy!

Delightful.

"Ding, congratulations, experience increased by ten million."

"Ding, congratulations, experience increased by thirty million."

"Ding, congratulations, experience increased by fifty million."

…

Endless, continuous.

Experience surged like a waterfall, making Lin Fan feel like he was about to soar.

This feeling was amazing.

Those sixty million immortal crystals were well spent.

"A tenth of the experience gained—not bad," Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction. Then, looking at the two lower-grade immortal pills left in his hand, he pushed open the door and went to Qiu Zhanyu and the others.

The lower-grade immortal pills Lin Fan refined were incomparable to those of the Endless Continent; the gap between them was enormous.

"One pill for each of you," Lin Fan said, handing the pills to Qiu Zhanyu and the others.

Now that they were his little brothers, he naturally had to give them some benefits.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jinzhengu looked at the pills, their faces showing shock.

"Is this an immortal pill?"

They saw the patterns of immortal laws on the surface of the pills and knew they were genuine immortal pills.

Then, in disbelief, they looked at Lin Fan, so excited they could cry.

"Big brother, you are too good to us," Qiu Zhanyu and Jinzhengu said emotionally.

"You won't be able to refine this immortal pill on your own anytime soon. Let me help you refine it," Lin Fan said. With a flick of his sleeve, he used the Origin Sealing Art to seal the room, preventing any aura from leaking out.

If he helped them refine it, they could break through to the True Immortal realm.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jinzhengu were both at the high-level Ancient Realm.

Since they hadn't cultivated many martial arts techniques, advancing wasn't a big problem.

They sat cross-legged.

An immortal pill enters the belly; my fate is mine, not heaven's.

Such was the wonder of the immortal pill.

Lin Fan's mana surged violently, directly penetrating into their bodies.

With their current strength, they couldn't refine the immortal pill on their own; they would need to constantly let mana and blood collide with it.

But with Lin Fan's help, he directly shattered the pill, turning it into a vast medicinal power.

Then, guided by mana, the medicinal power flowed through their limbs and bones.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jinzhengu's aura surged sharply, their bodies trembling, their skin turning red as if scorched by fire.

"Ascend!"

Lin Fan shouted.

He directly drove the medicinal power into every cell of their bodies.

Ancient Realm Great Perfection...

Their aura kept rising, and it wasn't over yet.

Within their inner worlds, a Gate of Heaven appeared, but compared to Lin Fan's, it was minuscule.

A surge of mana rushed violently, crashing into the Gate of Heaven.

With a thunderous roar!

The Gate of Heaven swung wide open.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jinzhengu truly entered the True Immortal realm.

True Immortal laws coiled around them—the symbol of a True Immortal.

Done!

Without Lin Fan's help, the two would have had a long road ahead to reach the True Immortal realm.

But as his little brothers, this was the perk they enjoyed.
