Chapter 295 The opportunity of longevity fruit
“If you can’t compete with talent, you must rely on chance encounters or hard work.”
"It's a pity that I have worked hard, but I haven't encountered the adventure yet in this life."
When the last ray of gold in the Soul Gathering Pearl disappeared without a trace, Li Fan couldn't help but sigh like this.
No accidents occurred.
More than two months have passed, although Li Fan cannot say that he has not made any progress.
But it only increased the success rate of identification from 5 in 10,000 to 1 in 1,000.
Still unable to detect the difference between normal souls and soul-contracted souls, the so-called identification is still based on intuition and guessing.
Of course, this cannot meet the requirements for building the [Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array].
"It seems I can only try again next time."
"The only thing I'm a bit reluctant to part with is the top-grade Huanyu Villa, which can activate the spiritual state at public expense."
Li Fan shook his head and seized the last moment to practice for free.
Ten days later, the monthly assessment came again.
Most of the soul-gathering beads in the hands of the monks have been consumed, so this test is also the final test to decide who will go and who will stay.
Li Fan's performance is very stable.
The knowledge part about formation construction is still the best.
As for the part of discerning the soul contract, it is still inferior.
"Only those with a success rate of more than 50% will have the opportunity to continue their studies."
"Anyone who fails to meet the standards will be expelled from Huanyu Courtyard starting today."
"And notify relevant personnel."
Ji Hongdao glanced at the young monks below and said coldly.
The moment he saw Li Fan, his eyes fluctuated slightly, but that was all.
It is impossible to break the rules for this stranger.
As soon as these words came out, nearly a hundred of the more than a thousand monks turned pale, as if they were mourning for their heirs.
But at least there was no shameful scene of crying and begging for another chance.
Only Li Fan looked calm and relaxed. People who didn't know better thought he had passed the examination.
Ji Hongdao waved his hand, and the bodies of these eliminated monks, including Li Fan, were covered with a layer of white light.
A moment later, these more than a hundred people appeared in a spacious and empty courtyard.
"Don't be discouraged even if you are eliminated. Take it back and forth from wherever you are. It is also very meaningful to continue to dedicate a little bit of your strength to the development of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance!" The speaker was a chubby middle-aged monk with a long chin. A goatee is extremely conspicuous.
The fat monk showed a kind smile and patted these eliminated young people one by one.
While taking pictures, he explained: "It's not that the organization doesn't trust you, it's just that the confidentiality level of the [Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array] is a bit high."
The monk he had photographed flashed with light and disappeared without a trace.
Alarm bells rang in Li Fan's heart for a moment, thinking that the fat monk was here to kill people and silence them.
The opponent's strength is unknown, but these young monks with golden elixir strength have no power to resist in front of him.
Li Fan is obviously not his opponent.
Just when he was about to recite Huazhen silently, he heard the other party continue to say: "Relax, I'm just sealing the part of your memory about the [Tianxuan Spirit Locking Formation]."
"Don't look at me in horror. I know what you are thinking. But this is Tianyu City, the center of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this and that. How could something like that be possible... "
The fat monk muttered while quickly performing his work.
Hearing this, Li Fan, like the other monks, breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he did not fully believe what the fat monk said, he was still on guard and always prepared.
"I wonder what you call me, senior?" When it was Li Fan's turn, Li Fan suddenly asked.
The fat monk was stunned for a moment, and the movement of his hand slowed down a beat.
"You're an interesting kid. I always feel like I'll meet you again one day." The fat monk looked at Li Fan and said, "My name is Huangfusong."
As he said this, there was no delay in the movements of his hands.
He slapped Li Fan.
As the light burst out, Li Fan was in a trance and appeared in another courtyard.
Ahead seems to be the door leaving here.
"Sign this confidentiality agreement, hand over the World Order, and you can leave on your own. I suggest you not to go back in a hurry. It is rare to come to our Tianyu State, and it would be a pity not to walk around. Here I recommend Lundao Building to the east of the city, and to the south The monks who go north will choose to stay there, and it is very lively. There is also free spiritual tea. "There is a monk who is as thin as a bamboo pole guarding the entrance.
There is a smile on his face that is uglier than crying, every time a monk comes in front of him.
He would take out a golden deed and hand it to the other party.
He will not be allowed to leave until the signing is completed and the World Order is handed over.
"By the way, have you ever heard of the wonder of the [Ice Abyss Fire Lotus]? I highly recommend you to take a look."
While sending the dejected young monks out after completing the procedures, the thin monk introduced them to places worth visiting in Tianyu Prefecture.
Soon, it was Li Fan's turn again.
Li Fan asked as usual: "What do you call senior?"
"Shangguan stone."
The other party simply responded and placed a shining golden deed in front of Li Fan.
It seems to be a bit more advanced than the general [Business Contract], but not as good as the [Soul Contract] of the Five Elders Association.
Scan the contents of the deed at a glance.
Unilateral deed with harsh conditions.
Anyone who leaks the secret will be destroyed.
Anyway, Li Fan had no choice but to sign, so he wrote his name coolly without hesitation.
A golden light escaped into the body, and Shangguan Shi nodded.
"you can go now!"
After arching his hands, Li Fan stepped out of Huanyu Villa.
"This is a bit embarrassing. I'm afraid Zhang Zhiliang wouldn't have thought that I would be eliminated directly in the first round."
"Calculating the time, it should be more than a year before Chiyan Burns the Sea."
"We definitely can't go back. We should go according to the original plan and travel to Yuzhou for a while. After the closed training of Fellow Daoist He is over, we can go directly to join him."
"As for Zhang Zhiliang..."
"I don't think he would give up the opportunity to join the Tao for such a trivial matter and come to trouble me instead."
Thinking of the Lundao Tower mentioned by Shangguan Shi just now, Li Fan, who had nowhere to go for the time being, inquired about its location and went straight there.
Lundao Building is more than just a building.
Rather, it is a continuous group of buildings.
Not only does it provide party, catering and other services, it also has many small courtyards like Huanyu Villa where you can stay.
The lobby of the main building was extremely lively and filled with monks.
Most of them are not high in cultivation, and Li Fan's visual assessment is that the highest level is the Nascent Soul realm.
Those who want to come here to get together as gods or above will choose to arrange a separate courtyard.
I randomly found an empty seat and sat down, and a cup of spiritual tea automatically appeared on the table.
After taking a sip, I suddenly felt the spiritual energy in my body churning, feeling extremely refreshed.
After drinking it all, place the cup on the table.
Spiritual tea gushes out from the bottom of the cup and is refilled.
Li Fan did not drink this time, but picked up a jade plaque on the table with the word "Tao" engraved on it.
After searching with his spiritual sense, many different dishes suddenly appeared in his mind.
Almost all of them have the effect of improving physical fitness and tempering the purity of spiritual energy in the body.
Of course, the price is also extremely high.
Almost a few hundred contribution points are required.
"This Lun Dao Building is located in Cong Yunhai and will never be opened."
"Ordinary monks can't afford it."
Li Fan ordered a few dishes at random to try the effects.
While waiting, he pricked up his ears and listened to the conversations of the monks around him.
It's not much different from the scene of chatting in a mortal restaurant.
There are any topics.
The so-and-so monk has improved to a small level; so-and-so's end is approaching, but he still failed to break through, and unfortunately died of old age.
The Wu Laohui has not made any big moves in the past few years, so it must be secretly planning some conspiracy.
…
Li Fan didn't feel bored listening to all this.
After a while, brilliance flashed, and the ordered dishes and tableware appeared on the table one after another.
Li Fan tasted them one by one, feeling the changes in his body, and nodded secretly.
"This Lundao Tower is indeed quite famous."
At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the already noisy lobby.
Several keywords floated into his ears, and Li Fan was slightly startled, and couldn't help but listen attentively.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, have you really found the spiritual fruit that increases longevity?"
"Hush, low-key, low-key. This trip to the underground forest has indeed yielded a small harvest. After identification by the Tianxuan Mirror, the Spirit Turtle Purple True Fruit can extend one hundred and fifty years of life." Lu Daoyou's voice was a little proud.
"hiss……"
"Spirit Turtle Purple True Fruit, I remember that there is no such spiritual fruit in the list given by Jicheng Immortal Lord, right? Doesn't that mean..."
"Fellow Daoist Lu has encountered great fortune this time!"
"Extending life for one hundred and fifty years is an extremely great treasure. I just don't know where I can rank among the rewards. If I'm lucky enough to be among the top three..."
"That's Yan Fajue..."
Everyone's breathing could not help but become rapid.
…
Li Fan listened to the conversation between the other party and his expression moved slightly.
At the moment, he didn't bother to clean up the remaining food, so he directly settled in a separate courtyard in the Lundao Building and moved into it.
Sure enough, there is a Tianxuan Mirror in the other courtyard.
After some searching, Li Fan immediately understood the ins and outs of the matter.
It turned out that since Ji Chengxianzun resigned as the commander-in-chief of the garrison and took good care of his injuries, although his injuries gradually improved, the lost life span could not be made up.
Like all monks who are approaching their end, Jicheng Immortal Lord began to seek various ways to extend his life.
It's just that Jicheng Immortal has been in a high position for many years, and has tasted all kinds of life-extending heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and they have lost their effectiveness for him.
So he issued a reward for three years, and the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance searched for life-extending treasures that were effective for him.
Anyone proven effective will be provided with high rewards.
The more lifespan you add, the richer the reward will be.
And the unique rewards for the top three make all the monks in the world feel excited.
An opportunity to use Yanfa Jue.
As we all know, martial arts are rare in the world.
And it is even more difficult to tailor the exercises according to your own situation.
Although Mage Weavers can do this, the cost is high, and the level of Mage Weavers varies, and the techniques they compile are far from perfect.
Just settle for the next best thing.
What all the monks dream of is to be able to use the most important treasure of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance [Yanfa Jue] to derive and create techniques for themselves.
Unfortunately, for most monks in the world, this is just an unattainable dream.
Yanfajue is the foundation of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, how precious it is!
Most people don't even know what it looks like or where it is located.
Let alone use it.
Even a strong person in the general Hedao realm may not be qualified to use him.
That is to say, Jicheng Immortal Lord has been in control of the garrison for more than five hundred years and has a high position of power.
During this period, he experienced countless wars, large and small, and obtained various meritorious services.
Only then could he get the reward of three opportunities to use Yanfa Jue.
"The first place can be deduced from the Hedao Kung Fu. The second place is Transformation of God. The third place is Nascent Soul."
Li Fan looked at the description of the reward, and he had to say that he was excited.
He happens to have a rare treasure that extends life.
Transformed into longevity fruit, it can extend your life by 300 years.
And it happened to be not on the list of exotic treasures that Jicheng had taken.
For him, this longevity fruit is of little use.
And if he is used in exchange for the reward of Jicheng Immortal Lord...
Not to mention the superiority of the custom-made exercises, just being able to see Yan Fa Jue, the treasure of the alliance, is worth the price of admission in Li Fan's opinion.
"It's just that this longevity fruit comes from the Fallen Immortal Realm. Generally speaking, only Golden Core Realm monks can enter."
"I'm just a foundation-building monk. It's a bit inappropriate to hand it over here."
"Anyway, the Immortal Lord's bounty has only passed less than a year ago. I can wait until I break through to the golden elixir before turning it in."
"In this way, its origin can be explained openly."
"Well...there must be some risks in dealing with Hedao Immortal Lord."
"It needs to be thought over more carefully."
In the next few days, Li Fan wandered around Tianyu City.
I went to the wonderful scene that Shangguan Shi mentioned [Ice Abyss Fire Lotus] again.
In the ice abyss, lotuses composed of countless flames bloomed.
Although it looks good, Li Fan doesn't see anything special about it.
It is said that a monk attained enlightenment here and directly ascended to a small realm. It seems that his enlightenment was not enough.
On the way back from the Ice Abyss, Li Fan's communication talisman suddenly received a message from Ji Hongdao.
Let him return to Huanyu Villa as soon as possible.
