Chapter 144: Red Flame Shows Its Traces
Chapter 143 – Red Flame Showing Traces
“That’s a shame.” Yu Wen Xing looked at Li Fan with a regretful expression.
Li Fan was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something.
Out loud, he asked, “Fellow Daoist Yuwen, I wonder what the cultivation level of this Tai’an Island Town Guard, is?”
Yu Wen Xing froze, not knowing why Li Fan would ask this question.
However, it wasn’t a secret, so he answered at once, “Fellow Daoist Zhou is a mid Foundation Establishment cultivator. Speaking of which, it hasn’t been that long since he broke through from pre Foundation Establishment to mid Foundation Establishment. It’s only twenty to thirty years. I didn’t expect to break through again so soon, what an envy!”
Yu Wenxing said with envy.
“So it is.” Li Fan nodded in thought.
“This Zhou Qingang, it seems like there’s a bit of a problem ……”
But he was planning to slip away anyway, and this matter had nothing to do with him. It was only a matter of keeping it in mind.
After Li Fan said goodbye to Yu Wen Xing, he sped all the way to Night Rend Island.
Little Sister Su and her entire team had already assembled.
Six years had passed, and the crowd had changed drastically.
Su Changyu had successfully entered the Qi Refining Stage.
What he was practicing was the Converging Jade Determination that Xiao Heng had exchanged for him.
Xiao Heng and Su Xiaomei had been unable to contact Li Fan for several years, so they joined the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance under the introduction of Zhao Erbao.
Together, they did some quests and accumulated contribution points.
Both of them were now in the late stage of Qi Refining Perfection and were preparing for Foundation Establishment.
As for the sisters Yin Yue Ting and Yin Yu Zhen, they had both succeeded in dispelling miasma.
It was just that they had not yet succeeded in drawing qi into their bodies.
Although they were all Qi Refining Perfection, Li Fan had the Hidden Shape Talisman activated on his body, so he was not afraid of being seen by Su Xiaomei and the others to see his true cultivation.
He asked Zhao Erbao, “How is the collection of Dao Rhyme Antiquities going?”
Zhao Erbao had been honest for the past few years and had originally suffered under Li Fan.
Later, when he saw the several little dolls brought by Li Fan, their cultivation level rubbed upwards, surpassing his own in only a few years.
While his heart was horrified, he dared not make a move even more.
At that moment, he honestly explained: “There is still some more to go, and it will be enough to reproduce the Dao Rhyme. It should take another year or two, and it’s almost done.”
Li Fan shook his head, “It’s too late. Prepare to go.”
“Go? Go where?” Zhao Erbao was a little confused.
“Yuan Dao State.” Li Fan replied without explaining why.
Li Fan then looked at Su Xiaomei and the others.
“Would you all like to join me?”
“Wherever you go, Master, I will go.” Su Xiaomei said with a smile, not asking why she suddenly had to leave.
Although so much time had passed, she was still the same as a seven or eight year old for some reason.
At this moment, when she saw Li Fan asking questions, she immediately expressed her loyalty.
“We will naturally join our little sister.” Xiao Heng and Su Changyu also had no objections.
Yin Yue Ting, however, had a difficult look on her face, obviously unable to part with the Heavenly Treasure House foundation that she had fought for all these years.
While hesitating, she was viciously kicked in the right leg by her younger sister, Yin Yu Zhen.
Turning back and glancing at her sister, she then said, “We’ll join together.”
Li Fan nodded and finally clapped his hands, “Pack up and leave after seven days.”
The reason why it took so long to prepare was really because the transfer of the Dao Rhythmic Ancient Objects was a bit troublesome.
One could not use spatial storage equipment and could only carry them piece by piece.
Fortunately, the crowd worked together and finally moved all the Dao Rhyme Ancient Objects into the Tai Yan Boat within the specified time.
As for the assets of the Heavenly Treasure House, Yin Yue Ting only took half of them away.
The rest was left to several elders who had been following her and fighting together.
The crowd boarded the Tai Yan Boat and prepared to leave.
At this moment, a person suddenly ran out from the crowd of Tian Bao Lou, crying out “Boss Yin” and kneeling on the ground to kowtow.
But Yin Yue Ting had been so kind to him that he could not bear to let her go.
Li Fan looked over and saw that he was still a familiar face.
Elder Sun Zhang Sun of the previous Heavenly Treasure House on Liuli Island.
After thinking about it, Li Fan still received him on the Tai Yan Boat.
Other than that, there was no one else from the Heavenly Treasure House who was willing to leave with him. Li Fan asked about the fat man called Ye Feipeng again.
It was only from the people’s seven answers that Li Fan realized.
It turned out that Ye Feipeng had been spotted by the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce’s Wu Walking when he last saw him a few years ago.
Taking along with him, he left Cong Yunhai and traveled to who knows where.
Li Fan nodded his head a little and stopped asking questions.
He then set up the Tai Yan Boat and headed all the way towards Yuan Dao State.
This route had already been traveled by Li Fan once before, so there were no twists and turns this time.
After more than a month of trekking, he arrived at Zhuo Ling City.
It was just that he hadn’t expected to bring so many Dao Rhythmic Ancient Objects before.
The courtyard that was previously prepared to be used as a landing spot was a little too small.
It was simply impossible to put everything down.
Therefore, Li Fan landed the Tai Yan Boat outside Zhuo Ling City, used a formation to cover his tracks, and ordered Su Xiaomei and the others to watch over it.
He then met with the town guard of Zhuo Ling City and asked if there was a suitable place to open a cave in the surrounding area.
“Cave house?”
Zhuo Ling Town Guard’s name was Fei Nan, a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
At this moment, he was a little surprised when he heard Li Fan’s question.
This was because usually the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would directly choose to settle on the Source Dao Heavenly City or simply stay in the Tianxuan Mirror all the time.
Only those scattered cultivators would go out of their way to open up a cave in the wild.
However, there were always some cultivators with eccentric temperaments who liked to be alone.
Fei Nan didn’t ask too many questions either.
Coupled with the fact that Li Fan had generously provided a consultation fee of one hundred contribution points, Fei Nan immediately and enthusiastically provided Li Fan with a few locations to pick from.
The first location was a canyon more than two thousand miles north of Zhuo Ling City.
Looking down from the sky, the mountains on both sides were like natural barriers, protecting the canyon in the center.
Moreover, the canyon was full of spiritual qi, and it wasn’t too far from Daoyuan Heavenly City.
The second location, on the other hand, was Zhuo Ling City to the south, more than three thousand miles, with a continuous mountain range.
This mountain was called Dao Ling Mountain.
It was rumored that before the Great Calamity, it was once the location of a certain sect.
In the Dao Spirit Mountain Range, there were quite a few peaks that were suitable for opening up caves.
However, the downside was that from time to time, cultivators would come to the mountains to explore the remains of the sect.
The third location was a bit more remote.
More than five thousand miles to the west of Zhuo Ling City, close to Shi Linzhou, there was a large, smoky lake called Lake Mingyue, hundreds of miles in size.
The lake itself did not have any valuable specialties, and there were no ancient relics around it, and the concentration of spiritual qi in the vicinity was also sparse.
That’s why few cultivators go to that neighborhood.
……
After listening, Li Fan thanked Fei Nan and left.
Of these few places, it seemed that the big lake was more suitable as a cave.
However, Li Fan was not in a hurry to make a decision, seeing was believing.
At that moment, he rejoined with Su Xiaomei and the others, set up the Tai Yan Boat, and headed towards the Bright Moon Lake.
Just as Li Fan and his group were searching for a future landing spot.
On the Cong Yun Sea, a big drama was quietly already kicking off.
At this time, it was already late at night.
The stars and moon are not visible, obscure and lightless.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Island was silent.
Suddenly, without warning, a large round of sun just appeared above the firmament.
The sunlight was fierce, and everything manifested.
The Cong Yunhai under the night curtain was illuminated as if it was daytime.
And under the great sun, high above the sky.
A reddish transparent figure was suddenly revealed.
