"You understand too little about Cultivators."
"The Cultivation World and the mortal World are, after all, two different Worlds."
Letting Mo Juren die with clarity was Shen Fan's final respect for his father-in-law and former elder brother. However, Shen Fan was also quite curious as to why Mo Juren had suddenly ambushed him, so he paused only slightly before speaking again.
"I'm very curious, why did you ambush me?"
"Even if I'm not your savior, I did help you, didn't I?"
Hearing this, Mo Juren didn't lie this time, speaking truthfully: "I just wasn't willing to die like this."
"Last time, I got a lot of good things from Yu Zitong, and they easily healed my injuries."
"So I thought, if I could catch you off guard and take you down, perhaps I could find some pills from you, as a fellow Cultivator, that could heal me and allow me to live a bit longer."
"Compared to the destitute Yu Zitong back then, you clearly seem to be doing much better than he was, and your net worth must be more substantial."
"I only have less than an hour of lifespan left anyway, so why not take a gamble?"
"What if…?"
Mo Juren didn't say "what if what," but Shen Fan still understood and said.
"I understand."
"I once traveled to a place called the Covering Heaven Continent. Most of the supreme experts there, in their later years, would not hesitate to slaughter the billions of ordinary beings they once protected, all to continue living."
"It shows… demise is always a great terror that no one wishes to face."
Speaking of this, Shen Fan changed the subject: "So, you were faking it from the start."
"All to lower my guard."
"But weren't you afraid that if you failed, I would, in my anger, implicate your family?"
Shen Fan shook the sachet in his hand.
"When one is about to die, how can one care about so much?"
Mo Juren said.
"Quite frank."
Shen Fan felt this was very consistent with Mo Juren's ambitious character.
"This was my thought when I felt there was hope for a gamble, but now that hope is gone, I have to consider them."
"Young Master Shen, I have three daughters, which is also written in the sachet I gave you. I am willing to marry all three daughters to you, hoping only that you will show mercy and not implicate them."
"As for my presumptuous actions just now, I am willing to atone with death."
Facing Mo Juren's plea, Shen Fan neither agreed nor refused. He took out the letter from the sachet and pretended to read it. After a while, he put down the letter and said, "Compared to letting Han Li choose one of your three daughters to be his wife, now all three belong to me. It seems to show some sincerity."
Seeing that Shen Fan seemed to be relenting, Mo Juren immediately took out paper and pen, wrote down his decision to marry all three daughters to Shen Fan, and then, without waiting for Shen Fan to speak, slapped his own head.
Seeing this, Shen Fan did not stop him. He just watched Mo Juren's body slowly fall, shaking his head and sighing: "For the sake of your three daughters and four wives, I originally just wanted to trick you into going to Starfall Sea to be a Cultivator, and I wouldn't have truly let you live for only an hour."
"I originally planned to talk to you about serious matters after seeing the rewards issued by the Diary System this time."
"But I didn't expect that you would ambush me while I was distracted waiting for the Diary System to issue rewards."
"Forget it, forget it…"
"No more talking."
"Debts are cleared when one dies."
"I also coveted your four wives and didn't have any good intentions. Let's call it even."
After muttering to himself, Shen Fan took Mo Juren's body outside, found a scenic spot to bury him, then returned to the still unconscious Han Li, searched his body, and pulled out a small green bottle.
"This must be the palm heaven bottle, right?"
"Speaking of which."
"This thing can ripen spirit herbs. I wonder if it will be effective for ripening Immortal Herbs."
Acting on his thought, Shen Fan took out an Immortal Herb and began to experiment.
As a drop of spiritual liquid fell onto the Immortal Herb, the Immortal Herb immediately began to change at a visible speed until every petal on it changed from three colors to six. Only then did the transformation process end.
"It actually works."
Shen Fan was surprised and delighted, but then immediately felt it was very reasonable.
Genius treasures like Immortal Herbs exist in Tang San's original World and also in the Douluo Continent World. Since two different Worlds with two different energy systems can nurture the same type of genius treasure, then there's no reason why cultivating Immortal Herbs with other energies would be ineffective.
Understanding this, Shen Fan refocused his attention on the Immortal Herb in front of him and directly used his Eye of Investigation.
[Profound Moon Herb]: Based on the Douluo Continent standard, it is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Moon Shadow Herb, and a Two-Hundred-Thousand-Year Profound Moon Herb.
"Holy crap."
"Just one drop of spiritual liquid increased the Immortal Herb by a hundred thousand years?"
"It really lives up to its reputation as a fantasy sewer."
Shen Fan almost rolled his eyes to the heavens, but he liked the palm heaven bottle in his hand more and more.
"It's decided."
"I'll take the palm heaven bottle."
At a certain moment, Shen Fan finally made up his mind, then looked at Han Li and made a promise to the still unconscious Han Li.
"Don't worry."
"I won't take your supreme treasure for nothing."
"From now on, I will periodically check on your condition."
"Once I find that you have died, I will definitely revive you."
"Also."
"Isn't your motivation for cultivation simply to live longer?"
"I promise you, I will give you a self-selected God Position that will grant you infinite lifespan."
"Most importantly, in the future, I will send you to a safe World, so you can enjoy life carefree in that World."
"After all, the A Record of a Mortals Journey to Immortality World is not only unsafe, but also a super big pit."
"Heh heh."
"Who would have thought that the cultivation system of the A Record of a Mortals Journey to Immortality World, when cultivated to its highest point, actually leads Cultivators to their death?"
Douluo 1 Shui Yueer Fanren Cultivation of Immortals Nan Gongwan: "How is that possible?"
"If what he says is true, then what is the meaning of our diligent cultivation?"
The news that cultivating to the highest point meant death for Cultivators nearly shattered Nan Gongwan's Dao Heart.
Douluo 1 Shui Yueer Fanren Cultivation of Immortals Cultivation World other women: "…"
Douluo 1 Shui Yueer Douluo I Shui Yue'er: "Is the A Record of a Mortals Journey to Immortality World that much of a pit?"
"If that's really the case, I feel that no matter how precious this palm heaven bottle is, as long as Shen Fan takes Han Li to those other reliable Worlds, Han Li will immediately owe Shen Fan a lot of favors in return."
Douluo 1 Shui Yueer Douluo Er Ma Xiaotao: "You're right, compared to one's own life, all external things are nothing."
