Chapter 1295: Chapter 573: Bountiful Harvest, Return to Reality

"Lin Li, how much longer can you stay here?" Cyan Mist Taoist looked up and asked.

"Senior, the most accurate time left is one hour and thirty-two minutes."

"Good, understood. Then you continue your refining. Let me know again when there’s only half an hour left before you return to your world, so I can inform everyone to bring over all that can be brought first."

"Mm-hmm, understood." Lin Li nodded.

It had been nearly ten hours since he met Cyan Mist Taoist.

At this moment, there weren’t many people gathered around Lin Li anymore. Only Cyan Mist Taoist, holding several books, was watching over Lin Li, both guarding him and passing the time by indulging in the worldview of another world.

A few hours ago, everyone had gathered around Lin Li. Now, they were lined up using the four phones Lin Li brought to record replies for the three people—they were no fools; using just the recording feature without the other functions was easy to teach, so Lin Li didn’t need to be present.

The Cultivation Realm indeed had many magic treasures and objects that could achieve the same effects, but to be prepared and out of novelty, many people still used both cultivation methods and smartphones.

Those who finished recording replies mostly went on to prepare the materials and supplies needed to rescue Shan Qing and the other two without hindering the elimination of the Demon Race, following the outline of the previously discussed rescue plan.

A distant hum came from the array, suggesting someone either arrived or left again.

They’re still in the process of "major construction".

In theory, bringing Lin Li directly back to the sect or elsewhere could be better as there would be existing arrays, rather than building new ones. But ultimately, Lin Li’s cultivation is only at the Foundation Establishment, and he’s from another world, so Cyan Mist Taoist and the others didn’t want to take any risk.

The newly arrived presences didn’t rush directly to Lin Li but went about their assigned tasks.

"Phew—"

With a slight sigh, Lin Li was a bit sentimental. Refining a truly top-tier magic treasure was indeed laborious.

At this moment, Lin Li was refining a magic treasure known as the "Treasure Robe".

Although the name is simple and sounds cheap when torn, in reality, it is a high-grade magic treasure coveted in the Cultivation Realm. It offers numerous auxiliary functions such as transformation, stealth, accelerated cultivation speed, clarity of hearing and vision, automatic spiritual qi absorption, and peeling off a piece of golden shadow to form a barrier when threatened...

Importantly, its entry-level requirement for refining is quite low,

even a cultivator like Lin Li has the ability to refine and recognize it as his master.

As for the origin of this "Treasure Robe", undoubtedly, it’s a gift from these mighty beings.

Lin Li’s plan to hold onto influential figures was unfolding much smoother than expected.

Whether Shanqing Daoist, Deng Wen, or Guan Zhu, they were highly charismatic and friendly figures a hundred years ago, or perhaps their sacrifice back then was valuable to the human race. As a result, these venerable beings, all having lived at least a century, treated Lin Li, an outsider disciple, almost like their last disciple, bestowing great privileges.

No prize guessing: What is inside Lin Li’s "Qiankun Ring" now?

Considering guessing usually involves ways to seek help, like contacting friends or eliminating wrong answers.

So Lin Li can provide a hint: It’s not Batman’s parents.

Alright, here comes the answer.

Inside Lin Li’s "Qiankun Ring" is a ring filled with Qiankun Ring-like accommodating magic treasures.

Yes, it’s recursive, bro.

Speaking of recursion, Lin Li couldn’t help but think of one of the fourth strongest characters of Slay the Spire...

Forget it, better not to dwell on it.

As for why he didn’t swap it for a larger Qiankun Ring, the reason is more straightforward. The system-given magic treasures can be directly retrieved into the warehouse, taking the contents along, but these native magic treasures from the Cultivation Realm cannot be directly retrieved, so keeping the original status is more convenient.

No prize guessing: What do Lin Li’s Qiankun Rings within the "Qiankun Ring" contain?

That’s right, also not Batman’s parents! Boiled mussels!

But aside from Batman’s parents not being present, there’s a lot of other stuff.

The "Treasure Robe" is certainly not the only magic treasure, and merely refining all the magic treasures Lin Li currently owns could take non-stop months or half a year to complete.

Their directions vary widely: offensive, functional, defensive, teleportation, summoning, growth...

Among them are magic treasures whose quality approaches or even surpasses the "Treasure Robe".

Those of "lower" quality aren’t given by these greats out of stinginess, but rather for Lin Li’s current stage, to ensure he can use them most smoothly and conveniently.

Randomly throw in one, and it could cause a mad scramble in Shen Town’s mansion.

As for pills and spirit stones, they’re being gifted in bulk.

And there’s even exclusive customization—

"Lin Li, this batch of ’Body Building Pills’ is excellent. They ensure no discomfort for mortals and no severe reactions while subtly achieving the effect of strengthening the body and health, leading to a lifetime free of illness."

An easygoing elder flew over from not far away to Lin Li’s side, displaying and handing over several pill bottles to Lin Li, voice gentle and face kind.

"Thank you, Formation Grandpa." Lin Li accepted the pill bottles, opened one of them, revealing several pellets no bigger than a fingernail, with a gray-brown outer shell like chocolate balls, exuding a delicate, pleasant fragrance.
