My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 33: Two Talented Sisters

Li Fan asked several seemingly inexplicable questions, leaving Yin Yuzhen a bit bewildered, not understanding why he was asking these.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of a possibility, her face turning somewhat pale as she stared at Li Fan. "Could it be that you are the long-lost father of us sisters?"

But soon, she denied it herself. "No, your appearance is nothing like ours."

"It's just curiosity," Li Fan said indifferently, not paying attention to the strange thinking of this young girl.

"I understand, curious about someone of the same kind, it's human nature," Yin Yuzhen said, nodding repeatedly as if she understood.

Li Fan couldn't be bothered to explain further.

Yin Yuzhen sighed and said slowly, "We were originally from the northern Night Island. Our parents passed away due to disaster when we were young, leaving only my sister and me to rely on each other. In my memory, my sister and I could only beg for a living every day, barely managing to get by."

"But at some point, my sister began to always find valuable things in different places."

"Our lives gradually improved day by day, and later, my sister single-handedly established the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion," Yin Yuzhen recalled.

"Unfortunately, I haven't seen my sister for several years," she said, full of nostalgia.

"Oh? Where did she go?" Li Fan furrowed his brow.

"Three years ago, my sister caught the eye of a passing immortal and was taken away. At first, she would send messages to let us know she was safe. But later, we never heard from her again," Yin Yuzhen said, holding her chin in her hands, looking pitiful.

"Taken away by an immortal? Could it be that she was taken to cultivate immortality?" Li Fan couldn't help asking.

"That's what I hope for. In the letters my sister sent back before, she used a secret code that only the two of us understood, telling me that her current situation was very dangerous. If she doesn't contact us in the future, it means she might have met with misfortune. She asked me not to look for her anymore," Yin Yuzhen sighed, her eyes showing a hint of sadness.

Li Fan couldn't help but ask after hearing this, "Can it be that it's her special physique, the Treasure Seer Physique, that has attracted trouble?"

"This is also something I can't figure out. Although the Treasure Seer Physique is indeed very powerful, being able to sense treasures within a certain range of oneself, this ability is also limited."

"My sister is only a mortal and can sense only things that are of some value to mortals. These treasures, in the eyes of those immortals, are essentially equivalent to broken copper and iron."

"It's not like there weren't any Immortal Masters who sensed my sister's talent before, but in the end, they didn't take it very seriously. I don't know why, but in the end, she was still taken away by that Immortal Master." Yin Yuzhen sighed again, a hint of sadness showing in her eyes.

"Although my sister is in danger, she has left behind her foundation. The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, which she worked hard to build for most of her life, must not be destroyed in my hands," Yin Yuzhen said, staring at Li Fan with big eyes.

"That's why I came to you today."

Li Fan raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything.

Yin Yuzhen explained to herself, "I don't have my sister's magical abilities. After my sister disappeared, the business of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion declined day by day. I also misjudged a few items later and failed to realize they were forgeries, resulting in another significant loss."

"The elders gradually became dissatisfied with me and even considered joining forces with outsiders to drive me out and divide the assets of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion."

"Fortunately, they still had some concerns about the immortal who took away my sister, so they hesitated and didn't take action."

"So, I came to Liuli Island to explore new markets and avoid trouble for a while."

"Originally, I thought of developing here for a few years, accumulating some strength, and then going back to settle accounts with them. But I didn't expect to encounter another Treasure Seer Physique on Liuli Island."

Yin Yuzhen was somewhat excited. "With your help, I will definitely regain control of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion."

"Why should I help you?" Li Fan remained unmoved. "I'm not interested in the affairs of your Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. My only desire lies in cultivating immortality."

"Before, you promised that if I helped you profit on a fleet voyage, you would assist me in obtaining a spot for the Pure Body Spirit Pool. You're not going back on your word now, are you?"

Yin Yuzhen seemed to be mentally prepared for Li Fan's response as she nodded. "Our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion conducts business with integrity. What we promise, we will certainly fulfill. However..."

She paused, looking at Li Fan with a cunning expression.

"However what?" Li Fan's face darkened.

Yin Yuzhen smiled lightly. "Even if you can enter the Pure Body Spirit Pool, so what? It's not an easy task to remove the miasma from your body. Almost only half of the people who enter the pool every year are successful. And the older you are, the higher the failure rate."

"You're not young anymore. Are you sure you have a hundred percent certainty of success? Each person only has one chance to enter the pool in their lifetime. If you fail, you might bid farewell to cultivating immortality forever."

"I know that success with the Pure Body Spirit Pool is not guaranteed. But a fifty percent success rate is worth trying for me. However, from what you're saying..." Li Fan looked at Yin Yuzhen, his eyes narrowed.

"That's right." Yin Yuzhen had a triumphant expression on her face, knowing that Li Fan had taken the bait. "In the last letter from my sister, a pill named the Body Cleansing Pill was sent. According to what my sister mentioned in the letter, by taking this pill, the probability of successfully removing the miasma from the body will greatly increase. If combined with the Pure Body Spirit Pool, even at your age, there's a high chance of success."

"With such a miraculous pill, why haven't you taken it until now?" Li Fan couldn't help asking.

"Not everyone is as determined as you to cultivate immortality. My wish is to do good business and protect the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion left behind by my sister," Yin Yuzhen replied.

"Everyone has their own aspirations," Li Fan nodded slowly.

"So, do you agree?" Yin Yuzhen looked at Li Fan with hopeful eyes.

"Allow me to consider this. I will give you an answer in three days," Li Fan contemplated for a moment, not agreeing immediately.

"Alright, I'll wait for your message," Yin Yuzhen said, somewhat disappointed, but still nodded.

"Farewell!"

...

"I hope I didn't make a mistake this time."

Yin Yuzhen watched Li Fan's retreating figure, her expression becoming serious, murmuring softly.

When dealing with Li Fan, Yin Yuzhen had been playing the role of a "junior" and a "young girl."

Her intuition told her that Li Fan didn't dislike her acting this way.

Moreover, interacting with Li Fan in the capacity of a junior would make things easier to succeed.

Yin Yuzhen wasn't like her sister, possessing the ability to sense treasures innately.

However, she had her own unique traits.

Apart from her sister, Yin Yuzhen was the only one who knew that she could vaguely sense the good or bad outcomes of events since childhood.

It was precisely relying on her sister's treasure-sensing physique and her own ability to anticipate fortune and avoid calamity that the two sisters were able to grow up smoothly and prosper.
