Chapter 77: Follow the Shadow
Li Fan found many glass beads that had not been fully digested in the stomach of the strange beast dragon whale.
It should be the remains after the dragon whale swallowed the glass fish school.
"It seems that since I killed the giant glass fish, the situation of the glass fish group is worrying." Li Fan thought to himself.
In addition to the glass beads, there were also half a piece of coral, a shining fish bone and other messy things.
Li Fan packed them all regardless of whether he knew them or not.
Finally, Li Fan checked again to make sure he didn't miss anything before leaving quietly.
There were no words all the way, and we returned to Ten Thousand Immortals Island safely.
After handing over the carcass of the alien beast Dragon Whale, Li Fan selected the things he looted from its stomach and exchanged them one by one for contribution points.
A total of 320 points.
After that, after some identification, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance also confirmed that the dragon whale carcass handed over by Li Fan was the one that attacked the island before.
Thus, the mission reward was 2000 points.
Including the remaining 450 points, Li Fan currently has a total of 2770 contribution points available.
"With so many contributions, it should be enough to choose a satisfactory technique."
At present, Li Fan still lacks the means to hide his own aura in order to track others.
This type of technique is also relatively rare, but if it is just the Qi refining period, 2770 contribution points are definitely enough.
Li Fan started to choose in the Tianxuan Realm.
But at this moment, in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the task of hunting down the strange beast Dragon Whale, which once made many foundation-building monks helpless, was actually completed by a Qi Refining monk.
This abnormal phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Especially the group of people who had united to issue the mission were deeply puzzled.
"Late stage of Qi refining, Li Fan? Who is this? Didn't that dragon whale say it could withstand the attack of the Golden Core cultivator? How did Li Fan hunt it down?"
"Is it possible that this person is hiding his cultivation?"
"Is this fellow Taoist a new member of our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance? Want to hide his cultivation in front of the Lingbao Tianxuan Mirror? How is that possible!"
"This person is indeed in the late stage of Qi refining. I have confirmed it with someone. He was recommended by He Zhenghao not long ago to join our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."
"Oh? Then how did this person do it?"
"Could it be that this person is pregnant with a strange treasure?"
…
The Qi Refining Monk has accomplished something that even the Foundation Establishment Monk cannot do, which makes people wonder.
At this moment, a disdainful voice sounded.
"Don't even guess. The latest inside information is that this guy is just lucky." These words immediately attracted a lot of attention.
"Fellow Taoist Zhou Peng, what do you mean by this?"
"Yeah, good luck? How is that possible?"
…
Zhou Peng also sighed with emotion: "I can't believe it either, but it is true."
"The carcass of the alien dragon whale was sent to Elder Gongsun of Tianji Hall for analysis. The conclusion was that the dragon whale fought with at least three undersea giant beasts of the same level before its death."
"Most of the scars on its body were caused by these giant beasts."
"Before it died, this strange beast dragon whale had already run out of fuel. Even if that kid didn't take action, this dragon whale wouldn't live long."
After Zhou Peng finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
Although it is a bit unbelievable, everyone has heard of the name of Elder Gongsun of Tianji Hall.
Therefore, the conclusion he drew is quite credible.
"It is said that the dragon whale shows signs of turning into a dragon. Perhaps it is for this reason that other giant beasts covet it."
"It makes sense. For alien beasts that can evolve by devouring each other, this kind of awakened ancestral bloodline is the most beneficial."
"Oh, this qi-refining boy is so lucky. It's really enviable. That's 2,000 contribution points!"
The people around him nodded when they heard this.
…
Li Fan was already prepared for the possible impact of completing the exotic beast dragon whale bounty mission.
But he was not afraid at all.
Because no matter how you look at it, this dragon whale died from the killing of each other by giant beasts. He was just lucky and picked up a bargain while passing by.
For 2000 contribution points, it is worth taking a little risk.
Putting this matter aside, after a period of searching and comparison, Li Fan determined his target technique.
"Like a Shadow Follows the Form".
The essence of this technique is reflected in the four words "like a shadow."
The skill is good at tracking and hiding.
Once you lock onto the other person, you can follow them closely like their shadow. The other party is difficult to get rid of.
It can even be like a shadow hiding in the shadows, making it invisible.
With such miraculous effects, the price is naturally high.
1800 contribution points.
Li Fan was not stingy and bought it directly.
Just when Li Fan was about to retreat to practice, he suddenly received a spiritual talisman communication from He Zhenghao.
"Fellow Daoist Li Fan! Oops, I didn't expect that the monk who hunted the dragon whale was really you! I thought it was just another monk with the same name, surname, and realm as you!"
"Someone still came to me to ask about you, and I was sure that it was really the dragon whale you killed!"
He Zhenghao looked extremely excited.
"Okay, okay, that's a bad breath for me! You don't know, these days, every time I close my eyes, I see the price of Lingwu grass plummeting."
…
Li Fan was silent for a while, and after a while, he replied: "It's just good luck. When I was doing the mission, I happened to encounter the dragon whale fighting with other giant beasts, so I took advantage."
Not long after the message was sent, He Zhenghao immediately replied.
"Luck is also a part of strength. My fellow Taoist talents and luck are so extraordinary, so you will definitely have a promising future!"
Before Li Fan could think of how to reply, he saw another message from He Zhenghao.
"I just have something to do and I need to ask fellow Taoist friends for help. Is that possible?"
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"Yes. I would like to ask my fellow Taoist to act as the guard of Liuli Island for me. What do you think of me?"
"Acting guard?" Li Fan was a little curious.
He Zhenghao quickly explained.
"I lost most of my savings over the years because of the Lingwu Grass incident. Seeing that I am getting further and further away from the Nascent Soul Technique that I want to redeem, I really don't want to do that."
"It happened that a few friends recently discovered an ancient cave and invited me to explore it together. According to them, this cave should have been sealed before the great catastrophe. There must be many rare treasures and even many magical powers inside. It is not impossible for law to exist.”
"If I can gain something, I can make up for my losses to some extent. So I decided to give it a try."
Li Fan thought for a while and did not reply immediately. Instead, he asked: "I wonder how long you need me to guard the place on behalf of you?"
He Zhenghao replied quickly: "It won't take long. It can be as little as one or two years, as long as three or four years."
