Chapter 16: In the Celestial Room
Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked ahead, seemingly with infinite nostalgia.
"Although our ancestors joined the Taiyan Sect at the beginning, they did not like to practice. Instead, they were obsessed with the art of deduction and calculation. It was not a problem at first. Who would have thought that the world would change so drastically that all mortals would have to migrate.
With the ancestor's cultivation in the early stage of Qi refining, even if he didn't want to, no one would force him. However, the ancestor's fate was not over, and he saw that the family members were hesitant and panicked, so he asked to be responsible for the migration of mortals. After that, he stayed here with his family. "
Li Fan talked eloquently and was filled with emotion.
Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi nodded slowly when they heard that what the other said was vaguely consistent with the various ancient anecdotes they had heard before.
Kou Hong was even more curious: "The Taiyan Sect still existed in the world during the Great Migration Era? I heard before that all the ancient sects were destroyed in the previous catastrophe of heaven and earth."
Li Fan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "It's just spreading rumors. Although the world is in great catastrophe, immortal arts cannot be practiced together, but Taiyan Sect's inner martial arts are as vast as the sea of stars. How difficult is it for one person to be divided into one? In the beginning, The sect has suffered a lot of losses, but there is no chance of destruction.”
Li Fan's words were so arrogant that Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi were dazzled by his words, "The skills are as vast as the sea of stars, and each person has one."
Immediately afterwards, Li Fan suddenly asked: "From what you two said, it seems that the Taiyan Sect has not appeared in the outside world for a long time?"
Dao Xuanzi shook his head: "Not only Taiyan Sect, but also ancient sects such as Taishang Sect, Dao Dao Sect, and Tianjian Sect have all disappeared now."
Li Fan heard the words and muttered to himself: "The path to immortality is difficult. As the ancestors said, the sect also chose to hide from the world to avoid disaster..."
Dao Xuanzi and Kou Hong looked at each other and said privately: "I had doubts about the collapse of ancient sects before, but now that I think about it, it is indeed a bit strange. The ancient sects have such profound foundations, how could they disappear overnight? not see."
"It's no wonder that they choose to hide from the world. If the news that these sects still exist spreads, no matter how strong they are, someone will probably knock on them every now and then."
…
The two exchanged a few words in an instant, and then Dao Xuanzi cupped his hands: "I wonder why my friend stopped us?"
Li Fan sighed: "No immortal cultivator has set foot in this place for thousands of years. When I see you two today, I know that you are the ones predicted by our ancestors before they died, and that this is the opportunity for our family to escape from trouble. And seeing that you are going to do it for a pill. The law was in a life-and-death struggle, so he hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him."
Dao Xuanzi said calmly: "I made my fellow Taoists laugh. But you may not know that external skills are rare. It is normal to turn against each other and fight for a volume of skills."
Li Fan shook his head repeatedly: "Why is this so!"
Dao Xuanzi asked tentatively: "Listening to fellow Taoist's tone, it seems..."
"Yes, before his death, our ancestor passed down a volume of exercises that pointed directly to the Golden Core realm." Li Fan said proudly.
Dao Xuanzi took a deep breath: "I wonder what your friend wants?"
Kou Hong was even more delighted: "That's great. If you, Dao Xuanzi, can acquire this technique, we two brothers won't have to fight anymore."
"My ancestor's long-cherished wish in his life was to return to the Taiyan Sect in the world of immortality. Before his death, in addition to this volume of exercises, he also passed down a magical weapon called Taiyan Zhou. Although it has been damaged, our ancestors once used Taiyan's techniques. It is estimated that in a few years, two immortal cultivators will come here, one is good at swordsmanship and the other loves weapon refining, who can help future generations repair the Taiyan Boat and escape from this desperate situation." Li Fan took a sip of wine. , said slowly.
Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi both changed their looks.
"My brother Kou Hong is obsessed with the art of weapon refining, and my specialty is swordsmanship. Is this Taiyan technique so incredible?" Dao Xuanzi was inexplicably shocked, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"It's really unimaginable to have such unpredictable power at the Qi Refining stage..." Kou Hong was also stunned.
Li Fan smiled, and after a moment, he said: "I can't prove it, but I would like to ask you two to come with me to see this technique."
Dao Xuanzi looked happy and stood up to follow. Seeing that Kou Hong also wanted to follow him, he immediately became wary: "Why, brother has already mastered a pill-forming technique, aren't you satisfied?"
Hearing this, Kou Hong said sarcastically: "Okay, I won't go there."
Dao Xuanzi snorted coldly and caught up with Li Fan.
Li Fan saw that Kou Hong did not follow him as expected, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his plan in this life was half successful.
He led Dao Xuanzi to open the mechanism and came to the underground secret room of the Taishi Mansion.
Dao Xuanzi was about to enter the secret room when he suddenly felt a chill and stopped.
He carefully scanned the surroundings with his spiritual consciousness, and suddenly exclaimed: "Immortal miasma!"
It turns out that all the organs in the upper and lower parts of the secret room are hiding the miasma of immortality and mortal world. The aura was so thick that Dao Xuanzi was frightened.
Li Fan smiled: "Being on guard against others is indispensable. In order to protect the family's treasure, we mortals can only do this."
Dao Xuanzi smiled with difficulty, but he refused to take a step forward. Instead, he stepped back a little.
Li Fan didn't say anything, but walked into the secret room and took out a jade slip from a box.
He did not leave the secret room, but held it in his hand so that Dao Xuanzi could see it.
This jade slip is the "Thousand Chances and Jade World Golden Seal" that I got from Kou Hong in my previous life!
That's right, Li Fan is gambling.
According to Kou Hong's description in the previous life, when he snatched the technique and ran away, Dao Xuanzi obviously had not seen the true nature of this technique.
Just use this as bait to ask Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi to help him repair the Taiyan Boat!
As for if Li Fan's guess is wrong...
A group of dead soldiers in the Taishi Mansion have already been in place. If they are really defeated...
The worst that can happen is to try another approach in the next life!
Li Fan didn't panic at all, because he found that Dao Xuanzi's mind was completely attracted by the golden jade slip in his hand.
"The Qianji Yuhuan Golden Chapter, the Nascent Soul Skill, turned out to be the Yuanying Skill..." Dao Xuanzi's breathing became a little heavy, and there was even a dangerous look in his eyes.
However, seeing Li Fan's half-smiling look and the faint sense of crisis coming from the immortal miasma in the secret room, Dao Xuanzi suddenly woke up.
"How is it? Is what I said true?" Li Fan asked with a smile. "Previously, in front of your brother Kou Hong, I only said that the method taught by our ancestors was the pill-forming technique, just because I was afraid that he would have evil thoughts again."
"Fellow Daoist, I admire you for your thoughtfulness." Dao Xuanzi looked deeply convinced.
Then he got a little excited: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, my brother Kou Hong is proficient in the art of refining weapons. I will definitely advise him to do his best to help fellow Taoist repair the Taiyan Boat."
Li Fan laughed and said, "That's it, please. After it's done, I will definitely dedicate this skill to you."
With the hope of immortality, Dao Xuanzi could not wait to get Kou Hong to work immediately.
Reluctantly watching Li Fan put away his skills and close the secret room, Dao Xuanzi couldn't wait to find Kou Hong.
