Chapter 97: A trap is set to kill.

Chapter 97: A Mechanism to Kill
“Sitting on a mountain and enjoying the benefits, I didn’t realize that there was actually such a technique in the world.”

“Unfortunately, he only mentioned it in passing and didn’t leave the technique behind.”

“I wonder if Daoist He’s bones can still be retrieved ……”

The Sitting Mountain Technique was just too suitable for Li Fan, and could completely utilize the advantage of [Returning Truth]’s foresight.

It was just that he didn’t know about the “Sitting Mountain Secret” before, but now since he knew about its mysterious aspects.

Then, this martial art he had fixed to cultivate, no one could stop him!
He Zhenghao had already died, and it seemed that he hadn’t been able to pass down the gongfu.

But it didn’t matter, Li Fan had the Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun Technique, and was able to use the method of sacrificing his doppelganger to deprive He Zhenghao of his memories.

It might be possible to revive the Sitting Mountain Technique.

If he was really unlucky and did not succeed, Li Fan could continue to scheme in his next life.

Thinking of this, Li Fan could not help but be interested in the ancient cave where He Zheng Hao had fallen.

He Zhenghao’s group of five Foundation Establishment cultivators had all fallen, with only one Jindan stage cultivator surviving.

This kind of shocking news on the Ten Thousand Immortals Island still set off a lot of waves.

For a time, gossip was flying.

After poking around for a while, Li Fan slowly learned the ins and outs of the matter.

This cave was located inside an underwater volcano.

Previously, because the volcano was silent, the cave had not been discovered. It wasn’t until the volcano suddenly erupted not long ago that passing cultivators noticed the cave hidden within it.

Thus it was He Zhenghao and the others who went to explore it in company.

One Jindan, five Foundation Establishment.

This lineup couldn’t be said to be weak.

After all, according to the information they had gotten, this was only the cave residence of a Jindan cultivator called Tian Yang Zhen Zhen during the ancient times.

According to common sense, exploring the cave of a Jindan cultivator, even if He Zhenghao and his party couldn’t return with a full load, it shouldn’t be difficult for them to retreat when they encountered danger.

But wait until deep inside the cave, after triggering a ban, they realized that this Tianyang real person is a Jindan cultivation is good.

However, what he practiced was the organ art that existed in the ancient times and had long been lost.

A dozen or so flint organ puppets were instantly activated and surrounded the group.

Only the Jindan cultivator named Zheng Xiaoyun escaped with serious injuries.

The remaining five Foundation Establishment cultivators all died horribly in the hands of the organ puppets.

Since three of the five Foundation Establishment cultivators who died this time were all Cong Yunhai Island town guards.

The official Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had also sent a YuanYing powerhouse to investigate Zheng ShaoYun to see if there was a possibility of intentional booby-trapping.

The conclusion was that it was indeed just an accident.

The deaths of the five Foundation Establishment cultivators not only didn’t dampen the crowd’s thoughts of exploring the cave, but instead made them more and more enthusiastic.

Not to mention the invaluable organ puppets within the cave, the legacy of the five Foundation Establishment cultivators alone had already made many people’s eyes red.

It was rumored that a second exploration team was already in the process of assembling.

This time, the leader was a YuanYing powerhouse, True Lord Gouxuan.

This person is enamored with all kinds of secret arts. When he heard that the lost Organ Technique had resurfaced, his heart was itching for it.

So he decided to go and see for himself.

“I don’t know if this quest will be successful or not. But the ones going forward this time are all YuanYing and Jindan great cultivators, so I won’t go and join in the fun.”

“There are so many treasures, it’s not like they’re going to rob Fellow Daoist He’s bones from me, right?”

“Perhaps I can post a bounty mission?”

“1000 points of contribution? Maybe a lot, 500 points should be about right ……”

Li Fan wasn’t worried about the Sitting Mountain Technique leaking out.

None of the cultivators in this realm would choose to carry the jade slip of the technique with them.

Usually, after the gongfu was learned, they would choose to destroy the jade slip. It would be re-burned when needed. The so-called time of need was naturally the trade of merit laws.

Immortal Laws could not be practiced together, and Merit Laws were the most valuable resources in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Like the Sitting Mountain Skill, a merit law that was inadvertently found from an ancient cave, if one did not cultivate it, one could sell it to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance or other organizations for a good price.

And such as the Little Diffractive Water Decree, which had been exchanged from the Heavenly Xuan Realm, if one broke through the realm and switched to other techniques, one could likewise choose to sell it back to get back a little bit of blood.

After selling the technique, the memories of the technique in his mind would naturally be erased.

“The world’s merit laws can be roughly categorized into two types.”

“One is newly deduced after the Great Tribulation and has a corresponding backup. Even if the cultivator practicing it dies unexpectedly, the gong method will not be lost as a result. It will just be recycled and sold again. Just like the two gong methods in that Qian Hong’s tomb.”

“There’s also another kind of gongfu that already existed before the Great Calamity, and for various reasons it doesn’t show up in the world, and only the cultivator who practiced it knows about it. If that cultivator fell without leaving behind a copy, then it generally means that the technique was completely lost. The Sitting Mountain Technique, the Sea-Defining Divine Sword, and so on all fall into this category.”

“And by using the Stealing Heavenly Skill, I can have a certain probability of recreating a lost technique from the remains of a cultivator’s bones ……”

“Or maybe, this is the correct way to use the Heaven Stealing and Sun Changing Technique?”

“It’s hard to believe that I’ll have to pick up the old technique again?”

Li Fan could not help but fall into deep thought.

After a while, Li Fan shook his head.

“It’s better to get out the bones of Daoist He first. Before that, it’s good to do some quests and earn some contribution points.”

Refining a split body could only be done by the principal body.

And since the decision had been made that Lin Fan’s bilocation would not have any contact with the Honored One, it would be better for this task to be issued by the Honored One himself.

500 points of contribution, for other cultivators it might take a small half a year to accumulate before they could complete it.

But for Li Fan, who held many hidden secrets of the Cong Yun Sea in his mind, it was only a matter of one mission.

Three years had passed since the last time he submitted a Blue Blood Coral quest, so completing one or two more quests at this time wouldn’t be too noticeable.

So Li Fan began to browse through the list of quests.

Soon, he picked out a bounty quest with a 2000 point payout.

Take the quest and reply.

“In the southwestern waters of the Cong Yun Sea, in the caverns below Gong Hai Island, there is this sea beast you seek.”

“It’s equivalent to a late-stage Qi Refining cultivation, but it’s not easy to deal with in groups.”

“Note that this cave has two layers. Careful exploration is needed to find the entrance to the second layer of the cave.”

“The sea beast swarm is in the second cavern.”

……

Still only providing information.

After most of the day, the other party confirmed the authenticity of the message.

It was quite generous and gave Li Fan 1000 contribution points.

The contribution points arrived, so Li Fan immediately posted a 500 point contribution reward mission in the Tian Xuan Mirror.

The mission said that he had been friends with He Zhenghao for nearly forty years.

He couldn’t bear to see his body exposed outside, so he issued a reward, wanting to bring his bones back for a good burial.

I thought it would take a while for someone to take up the task.

Unexpectedly, it didn’t take long for the task to be taken up.

This person was none other than a member of the expedition team that was assembling this time, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

The other party also sent a message asking Li Fan if he wanted to follow along.

“With a Yuan Ying powerhouse leading the team, we will definitely be able to return safely.”

The other party swore.
