"Oh?" Fang Chen asked in confusion, "What's the difference?"
"The life-prolonging pills refined by the Medicine Immortal lineage don't have this Taiji Huantian Jade. Coupled with the slightly lacking technique of purifying the medicinal effect. So, except for when taking the first one which can increase one's lifespan by three hundred years, the efficacy of each subsequent pill will be reduced by thirty percent. And when taking the sixth one, there will be no medicinal effect at all."
The spirit of the artifact paused slightly and continued, "Although the life-prolonging pills I refine can only be taken five times, each time they can exert the full medicinal effect and there will be no reduction."
"So, if one can take five life-prolonging pills, wouldn't that increase one's lifespan by one thousand five hundred years? This is too 逆天（against the heavens）! Even those at the Xuan Sheng realm only have a lifespan of about three thousand years." Fang Chen couldn't help but gasp.
"You think too simply. Not to mention how rare this Taiji Huantian Jade is. Just the accumulation of this foundation by the Wan family guarding the profound crystal mine for tens of thousands of years. How many families in this world can achieve this? Even so, even if the Wan family exhausts everything, they may not be able to gather all the materials needed to refine five life-prolonging pills."
Hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Fang Chen's eyes and he said in a low voice, "So that's it."
Early the next morning, Fang Chen was still sitting cross-legged on the bed cultivating when he heard footsteps at the door. Then came the knocking sound. "Sir, are you awake?"
Fang Chen exited his cultivation state and slowly stood up and said, "Come in."
After the door was pushed open, the waiter stood at the door and was about to say something when Little Monkey stepped forward and said, "Sir, I'm here."
"En, come in." Fang Chen nodded slightly and then ordered the waiter to bring water and food.
After the waiter left, Fang Chen pointed to the table. "Sit down." After saying that, he got up and went to wash up.
Not long after, when Fang Chen came back after washing up, he sat by the table and looked at Little Monkey and said, "How is Xiang'er?"
"After you cured Xiang'er's leg yesterday, that girl practiced walking all night. It wasn't until it was almost dawn that I persuaded her to go to sleep." Even though Little Monkey had tried his best to control himself, the excitement in his expression couldn't be suppressed at all.
Fang Chen smiled gently and then stared directly at Little Monkey and said, "Do you want to cultivate?"
"My life belongs to sir. If sir asks me to cultivate, I will cultivate." Little Monkey looked directly at Fang Chen without any sign of backing down.
"No, I'm asking you, do you want to cultivate?" Fang Chen shook his head and then asked seriously.
Little Monkey lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then he looked at Fang Chen weakly. "Is it with Xiang'er?"
"What if it's just you alone?" Fang Chen picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating breakfast.
"I can't abandon Xiang'er. I promised to take care of her for a lifetime." Little Monkey raised his head with a firm expression.
Originally, Fang Chen still wanted to ask a few more questions. But after seeing the firmness on Little Monkey's face, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head. "Then would you be willing to take Xiang'er and go to the Sword Sect tens of thousands of miles away to cultivate there?"
"Yes!" Little Monkey raised his head and looked at Fang Chen seriously.
"Good." Saying that, Fang Chen stood up. After teaching Little Monkey the sword move of the first form of the Nine Swords of Wind and Cloud, he said, "You go to the Cangjian Peak of the Sword Sect and find a woman named Yun Qianqian. Say that Yun Chen sent you there."
"I know." After refusing the profound crystal stones given by Fang Chen, Little Monkey got up and left. Only after walking out of the restaurant did he look back at Fang Chen's room. He clenched his fists. Now, being by your side, I will only be a burden. But I will work hard to cultivate. One day, I will be qualified to stand by your side and serve you."
Not long after Little Monkey left, just as Fang Chen had finished eating breakfast, the knocking sound rang out again. "Excuse me, Mr. Yun. I am Wan Leiting. I come to visit you."
Fang Chen stood up and opened the door. Looking at the old and the young at the door, he chuckled and said, "Please come in, Patriarch Wan."
After the two sat down, Fang Chen looked at the old man behind Wan Leiting and said, "Uncle Fu is old. He should sit down."
Just as he was about to refuse, he saw the patriarch nod slightly. Uncle Fu could only sit down with a little helplessness.
Seeing that Fang Chen only pushed the tea over and had no intention of speaking, after pondering for a moment, Wan Leiting said, "If my daughter offended you last night, please forgive me, Mr. Yun."
"It doesn't matter." Fang Chen shook his head indifferently and then picked up the cup and carefully tasted the tea in the cup.
"Sir is a remarkable person. Living in this common place is inevitably a bit noisy. Why not move to my Wan Mansion so that I can show the hospitality of the host."
"Thank you for your kindness, Patriarch Wan. I won't disturb you." Fang Chen didn't even raise his eyelids as if nothing was more important than the tea in his hand.
Wan Leiting was stunned. Only then did he understand why Uncle Fu said that Yun Chen was extremely mysterious after returning last night. It turns out that this person really doesn't care about anything...
"Wan came here this time to ask for something from sir." After thinking for a moment, Wan Leiting still decided to be straightforward. "The Taiji Huantian Jade in sir's hand is very important to my Wan family. If sir can give it up, my Wan family is willing to pay any price."
Originally, when bidding for this Taiji Huantian Jade yesterday, it wasn't that the Wan family couldn't afford to raise the price. Instead, they decided to snatch it. After all, in this Sifang City, the Wan family is the number one big family. It wasn't until later when Ximen Dong was driven out of the auction house by You Lan that Wan Leiting was relieved. Fortunately, there was this unlucky guy Ximen Dong. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. Although the Wan family is not afraid of the Shengtian Auction House, a person who can make the Shengtian Auction House offend the Ximen family. The Wan family really dare not take this risk and can't afford to take this risk.
"Oh?" Fang Chen put down the tea in his hand and looked at Wan Leiting with interest. "The Wan family doesn't plan to snatch it anymore?"
"Sir must not misunderstand." Looking at the teasing in Fang Chen's eyes, Wan Leiting's heart trembled. He quickly continued, "My Wan family has never had such a thought."
"That's good." Fang Chen smiled faintly.
"To show the sincerity of my Wan family, I'll give sir a piece of news. Ximen Dong is currently a guest at the Wang family. It is said that he is here for a marriage alliance." Saying that, Wan Leiting picked up the cup and drank the tea. The corner of his eye was always paying attention to the changes on Fang Chen's face.
Soon he was disappointed. After hearing this news, Fang Chen, except for the teasing in his eyes becoming even stronger, didn't have any other changes at all.
"Just a clown. Is it worthy of Patriarch Wan's attention?" Fang Chen took another sip of tea and asked, "Patriarch Wan said before that he is willing to pay any price?"
"Yes, as long as sir is willing to give up the Taiji Huantian Jade." Wan Leiting said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Fang Chen stood up and said faintly, "Don't talk about the Taiji Huantian Jade. Even the life-prolonging pill I can give you. But what I want, you can't give."
