Chapter 1066: Clues to the Short-Life Curse
"Fellow Taoist, you haven't answered my question yet!"
Lin Fan frowned.
This was the first time in so many years that he encountered someone with a short-lived curse in his body.
Moreover, this person is still in front of him.
For Lin Fan, this was simply the best way to solve the mystery of the short-lived curse.
Thinking of this, even Lin Fan became uneasy.
His eyes were fixed on Master Xuangui.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, to be honest, you are right. I have been to many places over the years, but I have never encountered such dangerous and weird things."
"I was trapped in that ancient restriction. In just a moment, most of the vitality in my body was lost."
"When I thought I would die from this, I surprisingly discovered that the influence of that restriction on me suddenly disappeared."
"And my longevity has been reduced by more than half because of this incident."
"However, this restriction exists in my body. No matter what method I use, it cannot be easily solved."
"I'm worried that this restriction will happen again, so I have no choice but to practice hard to improve my realm."
When Master Xuangui said this, there was an ugly look in his eyes.
When Lin Fan saw this, he became more and more curious.
"It's exactly as I guessed. The restriction mentioned by Master Black Turtle is probably a short-lived curse."
"I just don't know if the ancient restrictions mentioned by Master Black Turtle are still there?"
"After I'm done with the treasure appraisal conference, I'd like to go over and have a look."
Lin Fan muttered secretly.
He looked at Master Black Turtle with sympathetic eyes.
"What happened to fellow Taoist is really sad. I never thought that we Mahayana cultivators would also encounter such bizarre things."
"But, fellow Taoist, aren't you at all curious about this weird restriction in your body?"
Lin Fan looked at the Black Turtle Master in confusion.
"You don't know something, Fellow Daoist Lin. Since my life span has been greatly reduced by this kind of restriction, how can I not be interested in it?"
"Over the years, I have tried my best to find this ancient forbidden book in my body. I have gained some results."
"As far as I know, this kind of restriction had a resounding name in ancient times called the short-lived curse."
"As long as a cultivator is cursed by this kind of curse, the short-lived curse will break out periodically. This will cause a lot of life in the body of the cultivator who is cursed."
"Moreover, as time goes by, the onset of the short-lived curse will become more and more irregular."
"Even if we ascend to the True Immortal Realm, this short-lived curse cannot be easily lifted."
When Master Xuangui said this, he almost wanted to cry without tears.
Lin Fan looked at him, not knowing what to say for a long time.
"As expected, we are of the same kind! However, the short-lived curse on me is from birth."
"But Master Xuangui was cursed with a short life when he was in the Mahayana realm."
"In total, he seems to be much luckier than me."
Lin Fan muttered secretly.
He looked at Master Xuangui solemnly: "Fellow Xuangui, then you came to the treasure appraisal conference this time to find a panacea to replenish vitality?"
"Fellow Daoist Lin Mingjian, this is exactly what I have in mind."
Master Xuangui nodded seriously.
But Lin Fan looked at Master Xuangui and sighed softly.
"Fellow Xuangui, according to what you just said, this short-lived curse in your body is a bottomless pit. No matter how many treasures of heaven and earth are searched for to replenish vitality, it will probably be useless."
"Fellow Daoist Lin, I naturally know these things. While I am looking for things to replenish my vitality to deal with the onset of the short-lived curse, I am working hard to practice and strive to reach the tribulation period as soon as possible. Then I will ascend to the true immortal world. Although this short-lived curse is difficult to deal with, it is really Immortals in the fairy world are well-informed and will definitely be able to overcome the short-lived curse."
Master Xuangui explained with a serious look.
Lin Fan nodded in agreement.
He has been practicing hard for so many years, isn't it just to restrain the short-lived curse in his body, and try to ascend to the real immortal world to find a way to completely cure the short-lived curse?
However, thinking that his goal had not been achieved, Lin Fan frowned slightly and said: "Fellow Xuangui, I am also very curious about this short-lived curse. Can you lend me the classics you have collected?"
"No problem at all."
Master Xuangui waved his hand and threw dozens of jade slips directly to Lin Fan.
However, after Lin Fan read the contents of the jade slip, he fell silent.
"Unexpectedly, this short-lived curse can be so stubborn. As Master Xuangui said, even a true immortal may not be able to cure it."
"It seems that if you don't want to be drained of life and die, the only way is to practice hard and ascend to the true immortal world."
"However, I would like to see what it would be like to be restricted by the short-lived curse on Master Black Turtle!"
After Lin Fan thought about it secretly for a while, he returned the jade slip to Master Xuangui.
"Fellow Daoist Xuangui, we were once in the ruins of the True Immortal, and we were able to share weal and woe."
"I am also very sympathetic to the matter of fellow Taoist. I have some sweet spring dew here that can be given to fellow Taoist to relieve the urgent need."
As Lin Fan spoke, three bottles of sweet spring fairy dew were immediately given to Master Xuangui.
This made Master Xuangui overjoyed.
But he also knew that Lin Fan gave him these sweet spring dews, definitely not in vain, but for another purpose.
But now, Master Xuangui has no way to refuse.
"Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Lin. This sweet spring dew is like a timely help to me."
Master Xuangui was not polite. After putting away all the sweet dew given by Lin Fan, he looked at Lin Fan with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Lin, there is no need to be polite between you and me. Whatever you want me to do, you might as well just tell me explain."
"Fellow Taoist Xuangui, in fact, this matter has some benefits for fellow Taoist. I want to go to the place where fellow Taoist was cursed with a short life. I wonder if you can lead the way?"
"This... Fellow Daoist Lin, I'm sorry that I can't do anything about this. That place is really weird. I went there once and almost lost my life. If I go there again, I will never come back."
Master Xuangui shook his head repeatedly.
I am quite afraid of the ancient restrictions in the true immortal ruins.
But because of Lin Fan's kindness in presenting Ganquan Xianlu, he felt guilty.
"Fellow Taoist Lin, although I can't take you there myself. But I can give you a rubbing of the map of that place."
"In addition, if fellow Taoist really want me to lead the way, this is not impossible..."
Before Master Xuangui finished speaking, Lin Fan turned his palm and took out three bottles of sweet spring fairy dew.
"Fellow Taoist Xuangui, these sweet spring dew are part of the reward for leading the way."
"If fellow Taoist takes me and can really find the forbidden place that can plant a short-lived curse in fellow Taoist's body, how about I give you five bottles of sweet spring dew as a gift to fellow Taoist?"
When Master Xuangui heard this, he suddenly looked ecstatic.
"This... Since Fellow Daoist Lin said so, I have no choice but to take a risk."
"However, that place is too weird. Fellow Daoist Lin, please think twice."
Lin Fan shook his head repeatedly.
"Fellow Taoist Xuangui, I have made up my mind on this matter, and please don't refuse. In addition, if you feel that it is risky to continue moving forward after taking me to a place, you don't have to accompany me in."
Master Xuangui heard this, how could he refuse?
He nodded quickly and agreed.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, since you said so, I have no reason to refuse. After this treasure appraisal conference is over, I will take you to the ruins of the True Immortal. How about you, Friend Daoist Lin?"
