He glanced at the two, "It’s a Spatial Ring, so it cannot be isolated."
As soon as he said this, Wang Lingling’s expression became a few shades darker.
In other words, even if she escaped this calamity today, as long as she carried this sheepskin scroll with her.
One day, the Qin Family would be able to find her again?
"I knew it wouldn’t be that simple."
Chen Fan thought to himself, but kept a calm exterior.
Although one of the Qin Family members, who knew the Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill, had been killed by him.
However, as a first-tier family in Yan Country, the Qin Family likely had other means to track the stolen Longevity Technique.
When they come looking, it will be another trouble.
"Let me have a look at the Longevity Technique."
The next moment, he turned around and looked at Wang Lingling.
Her expression changed several times, but she obediently took out the sheepskin parchment that recorded the Longevity Technique.
"You, you’ll return it to me, right?"
She asked cautiously.
Of course, if Chen Fan said he wouldn’t return it, she wouldn’t have any means to stop him.
The disparity in strength between the two was evident, if Chen Fan wanted to kill her, it wouldn’t be much harder than killing those Qin Family members.
Not far away, Qin Jiyang’s Adam’s apple bobbed.
The Longevity Technique.
A Divine Demon Level Technique.
Even he had never seen it before.
"Don’t worry, I’m not someone who goes back on my word."
Chen Fan glanced at her and took the Longevity Technique.
Upon opening it, he saw that the parchment only had an illustration of a human body and a pile of profound and obscure texts.
At first glance, it’s hard to believe this is a Divine Demon-level Martial Arts technique.
However, at the same time, a line of new text appeared in the skill bar.
[Longevity Technique, Volume Three (35%): Completely Ignorant (0%)]
"!"
Chen Fan’s pupils dilated.
It can be recorded!
He had only skimmed through it briefly, and the collection progress had already increased by 35%.
If he wasn’t mistaken, the parchment in his hand must be complete.
Not the complete Longevity Technique, but the complete third volume.
What does this mean?
This means, as long as he has enough Experience Points, he can improve the mastery of this martial art.
Unlike other martial arts, even if acquired, he could not cultivate them without fulfilling certain conditions.
"This adventure was worth it."
Chen Fan was overjoyed in his heart.
A complete Longevity Technique counts as a Divine Demon-level Martial Arts technique.
One volume might only have the effects of Supreme-level Martial Arts.
But, it is a complete Supreme-level Martial Arts technique.
Moreover, as the saying goes, knowing a part reveals the whole.
Once he practices this volume to the Perfection Realm, could it also reverse-engineer the complete Longevity Technique?
Chen Fan felt this possibility was high.
Because, no matter how powerful the martial arts, they are derived from the most basic techniques, which is the principle of simplicity.
"Anyway, trying it will tell."
Chen Fan’s gaze moved from the beginning, word by word, downward.
In the skill bar, the collection progress of the Longevity Technique was also gradually increasing.
"Does this guy actually understand it?"
Wang Lingling’s eyes showed a look of shock.
To her, the text on the parchment appeared like tadpoles; reading a few words was fine, but reading more made her dizzy and irritable.
Yet, this guy had already read most of it unnoticed.
"No, impossible, this is the Longevity Technique, how could he understand it?" Wang Lingling shook her head repeatedly.
She couldn’t understand it, why should he?
Qin Jiyang’s heart gave rise to a bold idea.
Time slowly passed.
Finally, the collection progress of the Longevity Technique in the skill bar reached one hundred percent.
This also meant he could cultivate this martial art at any time.
"Unexpectedly, this human body diagram occupies 60% of the content."
Chen Fan sighed in his heart.
After he had browsed all the text, the collection progress just exceeded 50%. It only started to grow continuously when he focused on the diagram.
This led to a result.
That is, there are no replicas.
To cultivate the real Longevity Technique, one must rely on this parchment; even a photograph would be useless.
"I will observe this Longevity Technique for three days first, and then return it to you."
Chen Fan said, placing the parchment into the Spatial Ring.
Although he had already recorded the Longevity Technique, he needed to keep up appearances.
"Oh, then remember, return it to me in three days."
Wang Lingling said in a low voice, reluctant but helpless.
"Elder."
At this moment, Qin Jiyang spoke up, "Didn’t you ask me earlier, if I could certainly become the Patriarch of the Qin Family when I return? I just thought of a way that will definitely allow me to become the Patriarch!"
"Oh? What way?"
Chen Fan asked.
"This method, isn’t too difficult nor too simple because it requires a bit of help from you, Elder."
He smiled ingratiatingly.
"Are you perhaps planning to take the Longevity Technique?"
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.
"As expected of Elder."
Qin Jiyang laughed, "Elder, if you’re willing to let me take this parchment back, then the family will definitely agree to let me take over as Patriarch from my brother."
"No way!"
Wang Lingling panicked.
What a joke?
That was her item.
If given to this Qin-named person, it would be gone forever?
"Chairman Li."
She looked pitifully at Li Ping, "You promised me to observe it for three days and return it, don’t listen to that guy’s nonsense and give it to him."
"Miss Wang, please calm down."
Qin Jiyang laughed, "I am just temporarily borrowing it. When I get the chance, I will bring it out again, not only that, I will also bring out another volume from the family for you both to cultivate."
"Who would believe you?"
Wang Lingling sneered.
"You have a good plan."
Chen Fan smiled faintly, "I bet when you get the Longevity Technique, you will look at it yourself first."
"Elder guessed right."
Qin Jiyang straightforwardly admitted, "Divine Demon-level Martial Arts, who wouldn’t be tempted? But rest assured, Elder, I’m not ungrateful. If you spare me today and let me take the Longevity Technique back, I will repay you tenfold in the future. If you don’t believe me, I can swear a blood oath."
"Swear a blood oath?"
Chen Fan muttered.
Certainly, his words were tempting, but he made the situation seem too simple.
Firstly, everyone else had died, leaving only him.
A normal person would be suspicious.
Secondly, for this kind of matter, swearing a blood oath is useless, even using Soul Shifting Technique to change his mind might not work.
It is the Qin Family, a first-tier family.
This matter was so big, it would surely alert the Celestial Realm Martial Artists behind them, who might see through his techniques.
This would lead to the risk of exposure.
Rather than worrying about these things, it was safer to eliminate all risks.
"Sorry, I’d rather trust myself than others."
Chen Fan said, slowly pointing his finger to his heart.
"No, no! Elder, give me a chance, give..."
The plea ended abruptly.
Qin Jiyang’s eyes gradually lost focus, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
Wang Lingling breathed a sigh of relief but was also terrified and did not dare to utter a sound.
She was a bit afraid that he might also kill her.
After dealing with the last member of the Qin Family, Chen Fan withdrew the protective shield and said to Wang Lingling, "Alright, the matter is settled. You can come to the Anshan City Awakened Association in three days to retrieve your item."
"Okay, okay."
Wang Lingling nodded instinctively, then suddenly shivered, realizing something, her expression becoming anxious.
