My longevity simulation

However, unlike Li Fan, Wang Wan’s comprehension of divine abilities did not seem overly complex.

At the very least, Wang Wan remained exceptionally calm as he received the influx of data.

The black lines that made up his lower body did not even waver in the slightest.

Let alone separate from his body.

“Could it be that I got the short end of the stick?” A hint of gloom flashed through Li Fan’s eyes.

“This Wang Wan… it seems this isn’t his first time using the Tianxuan Mirror to deduce divine abilities. Maybe I can ask him about it.”

Having completed the deduction of his divine ability, Li Fan’s connection to the black lines linking him to the platform below had already been severed.

However, the countdown in front of him was still ongoing, meaning he had yet to be expelled from this space.

Thus, Li Fan did not rush to leave. Instead, he patiently observed the two people beside him while waiting.

Deng Mingxi, who had yet to make a choice, was clearly becoming anxious.

She looked somewhat helpless, and in the end, she seemed to have made a decision she was not entirely satisfied with.

Meanwhile, Wang Wan had already completed his comprehension of the divine ability, just like Li Fan.

The connection beneath his feet was severed, and he opened his eyes.

Noticing Li Fan’s gaze on him, Wang Wan seemed slightly surprised.

However, since communication was impossible in this space, he merely exchanged a glance with Li Fan before shifting his attention to Deng Mingxi.

After observing her for a moment, he shook his head slightly.

The countdown reached zero.

A streak of multicolored light shone down from above.

The black and white lines gradually faded, and the surrounding space became more vivid.

For a moment, everything blurred.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them had unknowingly returned to the Lotus Stone Mountain outside Tianquan Prefecture.

Deng Mingxi let out a burst of energy, striking a nearby mountainside with great force—

As if venting her frustration.

However, unlike ordinary rock formations, this mountainside was incredibly solid.

Even with her attack, she failed to leave so much as a crack.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she felt increasingly aggrieved.

“Young girl, greed leads to loss,” Wang Wan sighed upon seeing this.

Through careful questioning, Li Fan gradually uncovered the strange nature of the Limitless Fullness and Emptiness Technique from Wang Wan.

It turned out that the divine ability tree generated by the Tianxuan Mirror in a cultivator’s mind was not something that all cultivators could fully perceive.

Because it contained far too many branches, ordinary cultivators could not possibly comprehend them all.

They could only rely on luck to make a choice.

Deng Mingxi, for example, had become overwhelmed by the sheer number of options before her, delaying the time she had to truly comprehend her chosen ability.

“It’s alright, don’t be too discouraged. You’re still young. You can always come back in another hundred years. When I first came here, I was just like you—trying to pick the most powerful and suitable divine ability from the tree. In the end, I wasted my precious opportunity.” Seeing that Deng Mingxi was still struggling to let it go, Wang Wan continued to comfort her.

Deng Mingxi pouted in frustration. “It’s all my brother’s fault! Before I came, he secretly told me that the Tianxuan Mirror evaluates a cultivator’s potential based on how much of the divine ability tree they overview.”

“The more branches you look at, the greater your potential. And when the divine ability is instilled, its upper limit of power increases accordingly.”

“So I thought… why not look at as much as possible…”

The more she spoke, the more wronged she felt, as if she were about to burst into tears.

“Your brother may not have good intentions.” Li Fan thought to himself.

“What did you say?!” Deng Mingxi suddenly froze, staring at Li Fan in an instant.

“Hmm?” Li Fan’s expression changed slightly.

“What did you mean by what you just thought?” Deng Mingxi locked her gaze onto Li Fan, pressing him aggressively.

Li Fan quickly restrained his thoughts and narrowed his eyes. “Daoist Deng, I don’t understand what you mean.”

“Stop pretending. I can sense other people’s thoughts, especially those related to me!” Seeing Li Fan feign ignorance, Deng Mingxi’s anger flared even more.

“Just now, you were clearly thinking that my brother had ulterior motives. What did you mean by that?”

“I sensed it perfectly. When Brother Qingyu told me this secret back then, he was genuinely thinking about my well-being,” Deng Mingxi said confidently.

“This little girl is truly naïve.” Li Fan deliberately thought to himself again.

As expected, Deng Mingxi, who had once again picked up on his thoughts, turned even redder.

“She can actually read minds?” Li Fan was secretly astonished.

He immediately cleared his thoughts, stopped teasing the young girl, and began explaining.

“That Brother Qingyu of yours—based on how you talk about him, he must be very close to you. That means he is also well aware of your cultivation state. Wouldn’t he know whether you have the necessary spiritual sense level to fully comprehend the Divine Ability Tree?”

“If he truly had your best interests at heart, he would never have told you about it. He would have simply let you choose an ability that suits you best.”

“But instead, he pretended to be thinking of you and carelessly let it slip.”

Li Fan sneered. “That was intentional—to stir up your greed so you would leave empty-handed.”

“As for the thoughts you sensed from him…”

“If he had been unaware of your ability beforehand, then maybe what you sensed was genuine.”

“But clearly, he knew about your mind-reading ability. That being the case, what you sensed means nothing at all.”

Hearing this, Deng Mingxi was about to refute.

But suddenly, she froze—because at that moment, from Li Fan’s thoughts, she felt an overwhelming sense of care and affection.

So intense, so direct—it was unlike anything she had ever experienced before.

In an instant, Deng Mingxi’s face turned bright red.

“You…”

She stomped her foot in embarrassment. Unable to face Li Fan any longer, she turned and flew away.

“Hmph.” Li Fan chuckled lightly.

“If possible, Fellow Daoist, you should leave Tianquan State for now and lie low.” At this moment, Wang Wan, who had witnessed everything, spoke up.

“Even though it was just an unintentional slip, the fact remains that the young lady overheard your thoughts—and you exposed Deng Qingyu’s schemes.”

“That man is narrow-minded and holds grudges deeply. He always repays even the smallest slight…” Wang Wan kindly transmitted his advice through voice transmission.

Li Fan cupped his hands. “Oh? Compared to the Xuan family, how does the Deng family fare?”

“Xuan…?” Wang Wan was momentarily stunned. Then, his expression drastically changed. “You are…?”

“I am a mid-level guest elder of the Xuan family.” Li Fan said calmly.

“I see… I spoke out of turn. The younger generation of the Deng family…” Wang Wan was at a loss for words.

He quickly apologized to Li Fan.

“It’s fine. You were just being considerate.” Li Fan didn’t mind. After exchanging contact details, he took off.

As he flew, Li Fan felt a lingering sense of relief.

“I never expected to encounter another mind-reader, just like Heavenly Doctor, after all this time.”

“Luckily, she’s just a simple-minded child. Otherwise, I would have been in real trouble again.”
