第九百三十八章 再见馆中骨

Li Fan, the Saint Embryo, echoed his voice in this endless sea of cultivation techniques.

"Whatever you can't get your hands on, you'll yearn for it more."

"So to completely quell your desires, all I need to do is satisfy every single one of them at once," he said. "Give yourself a long vacation where you're so bored that you have nothing better to do..."

Hearing Li Fan's words, the little girl's eyes lit up.

"Who would ever find it boring to be idle?!" she couldn't help but say. "If I didn't have to use the Derivation Technique, I'd sleep for decades before even thinking about it!"

Seemingly lost in thoughts of her ideal vacation, the Derivation Technique little girl's face was filled with longing.

But soon, she said dejectedly, "Forget about decades. Even a few days or weeks would be hard to come by."

"It must feel great not having to work!" she sighed, recalling her previous days off.

Looking at Li Fan, she complained, "It's all your fault! I could have kept pretending for longer if you hadn't woken me up."

"Running away from the problem won't solve it," Li Fan chuckled. "The only way is to address the root of the issue."

The little girl harrumphed. "That’s easy for you to say. Back then, I had a deal with the Lawful Sage. I have to derive all cultivation techniques before I can rest."

"By this rate, it'll take thousands of years. It's driving me crazy..."

Pouting and sighing, the Derivation Technique little girl said.

"If only there were another Derivation Jade that could help you derive these techniques. Then you wouldn't have to work," Li Fan suddenly said.

The little girl rolled her eyes at him. "I'm one of a kind in this world. Where would I find another me?"

But then, she paused and said with hope, "If the future me can pass on all derived techniques to me directly after thousands of years, I could pretend to be working while actually resting."

Her eyes sparkled as she lost herself in fantasies.

Having obtained enough information from the Derivation Jade, Li Fan decided to rouse her. "I've already told you about your condition. What technique do you need?"

The Derivation Jade didn't react; it just stared blankly and laughed foolishly.

Li Fan had to repeat his request louder. The little girl finally woke up.

She glared at him with a pout, complaining, "Let me rest for a bit more..."

"Those guys won't come for you for some time."

"And your technique is quite complex. I can still squeeze in some more rest," she said, waving her hand to tell Li Fan to wait.

The little girl went back to daydreaming.

Li Fan didn't stop him but instead turned his gaze towards the floating cultivation techniques around them.

Unlike when the Derivation Jade pretended to be asleep, he could only see the names of the techniques written on the book covers. The actual techniques were bound by chains made of characters and couldn't be viewed.

Giving up on peeking, Li Fan patiently waited for the little girl to rest enough.

After a full day, under the urging from the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, the Derivation Jade finally woke up with a sigh.

"Ah..."

She stretched out her hand, and a book titled [Three Disasters and Hundred Tribulations Divine Technique] appeared out of nowhere. It was clearly one she had already derived.

"Take it. You should be leaving now."

"I hope the next person to derive techniques can have more free time too," she said as Li Fan returned to his character space.

The Derivation Jade's demeanor became listless and drowsy again, just like before. Seeing the warning in her eyes, Li Fan understood.

Her actual technique derivation speed was much faster than what she showed on the outside. Every derivation session allowed her a lot of free time for rest. This might be one reason why she could persist with it for thousands of years.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Sect's Guardian Hall likely knew this too but chose to ignore it, as pushing too hard might backfire.

With his goal achieved, Li Fan respectfully bid farewell to the white-haired senior cultivator.

Before leaving, he explained in detail where the Derivation Jade's condition came from.

Just as he was about to go, Li Fan remembered something and took out the token given to him by the old man.

"Before I leave the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect headquarters, may I visit the [Museum of Divine Treasures]?"

The white-haired senior cultivator was taken aback. Visiting the Museum of Divine Treasures anytime was fine for him. But this token represented his goodwill and could be used in many ways.

If he gave it away now, who knew how many cultivators would fight over it?

"Kid, you might want to reconsider," the white-haired senior cultivator said, feeling a bit wasteful, as if urging Li Fan not to waste such an opportunity.

"No need. My mind is made up," Li Fan replied calmly.

The old man shook his head and stopped trying to persuade him.

After retrieving the token, he escorted Li Fan out of the Guardian Hall and instructed the guiding cultivator before returning inside.

Li Fan followed behind as they headed towards the Museum of Divine Treasures.

He had changed his mind, wanting a temporary visit. It was actually the True Self's intention.

Firstly, to see the skull displayed in the center of the Museum of Divine Treasures. Secondly, to memorize [Three Disasters and Hundred Tribulations Divine Technique] during this time.

The Museum of Divine Treasures should be safe, but once he left the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect headquarters, it wasn't guaranteed. His behavior in the Guardian Hall was a bit out of the ordinary, making him a target.

Li Fan decided to discard this Saint Embryo as soon as he left the sect headquarters to prevent any tracking.

Entering the Museum of Divine Treasures, memories of the exhibits began to surface.

It seemed his True Self had been here before. But Li Fan pretended it was his first visit, marveling at everything.

In reality, he was secretly reviewing [Three Disasters and Hundred Tribulations Divine Technique] derived by the Derivation Jade.

This technique's complexity didn't fall short of the Xuan Tian Sect's divine techniques but lacked in power, only reaching the level of a Convergence Realm cultivator.

It should be sufficient for Li Fan to use as a facade when dealing with Mo Ru Bin.

Having memorized the entire text, Li Fan nodded contentedly. Lost in his thoughts about the technique, he finally arrived at the center of the Museum of Divine Treasures.

He stared at the skull before him, lost in thought.

It looked no different from a human skull but carried an unusual aura behind its layers of protection.
