Rakish Little Immortal Doctor

"Qianfan, you've grown up so fast, reaching the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm in such a short time. With your current strength, you're considered a master among mortals, indeed you haven't disappointed me!"

Father observed Li Qianfan, his eyes filled with pride and relief.

"Dad, when can I go to find you and mother?"

For many, Li Qianfan was a cheerful and strong person, but upon seeing his father, his eyes couldn't help but redden, having been scorned and ignored since he was a child without parents.

Although the people around him were all quite kind to him, he still yearned to be like other children, snuggling in his parents' embrace.

The next moment, Li Qianfan walked forward, wanting to be closer to his father, yet with every step he took, his father's figure moved back a step, always maintaining a distance of twenty meters.

"Dad, don't move back!"

Li Qianfan accelerated and ran forward.

But as he sped up, his father's retreating pace also quickened.

It seemed as if, this twenty-meter distance was like a chasm Li Qianfan could never cross.

"Son, don't chase after me anymore, the current me is just a shadow I left behind; we will always be apart by this distance, you'll never be able to cross these twenty meters," said his father in a serious tone.

Could it really be so difficult to just embrace his father?

Li Qianfan felt crushed inside, but he still chose to stop, gazing at his father's apparition as he asked, "Dad, where exactly are you and mother, and when can I go to find you?"

"It's not possible now, your strength is still too weak!"

His father shook his head slightly.

Suddenly, Li Qianfan became anxious and immediately said, "Dad, you just said that I am already a master in the current world, isn't that enough to go and find you and mom?"

"Qianfan, I know you're eager to see me and your mother, but you shouldn't rush it!"

Father smiled gently and said, "Indeed, in the secular world, you are a master, but in the world of cultivators, you're simply an ant at most. Although my words are harsh, this is the truth. Only when you reach the Golden Core Realm will you have the ability to protect yourself in the world of cultivators and can set out to find us."

"Dad, where exactly are you?"

Li Qianfan asked eagerly.

"We are in a place, far away from you, which can't be explained in a few words."

At that point, his father changed the subject and said, "By now, you should have received the blueprint from the Blood Egg, right?"

"Yep, I've obtained the blueprint. What's it for?"

Li Qianfan nodded vigorously and immediately asked.

"It is a map, marking the address of an old friend of mine. Once you settle your current affairs, you can go and find her. She will help you become stronger, showing you the way to find us."

"However, your mother has sealed the map, and the method to break the seal is something you'll have to discover yourself. When you open the map, your strength will reach new heights, consider this a trial from your mother."

"Hang in there, son. I look forward to the day we meet."

After saying these words, the image of his father slowly shattered, turning into fragments that drifted towards Li Qianfan.

The disappearance of his father panicked Li Qianfan, and he immediately stretched out his hands, attempting to capture the fragments of the apparition in his palms, but as soon as he barely touched them, the fragments disappeared without a trace.

After trying to grasp several fragments and failing each time,

Li Qianfan eventually came to terms with it; he slowly opened his arms, allowing the fragments to collide with his body. In this way, could it be considered that he had embraced his father?

...

Time passed unknowingly as Li Qianfan emerged from the strange white world. He slowly opened his eyes, and a hint of undisguised desolation flashed through them as the dim tent came into view. The brief encounter made him miss his distant parents even more.

"Dad, Mom, wait for me; I'll be coming to find you soon!"

Li Qianfan clenched his fists, his expression becoming incredibly determined.

Hmm??

As he lay back down on the bed, Li Qianfan noticed that something had suddenly appeared next to his pillow.
