Chapter 228: Meeting an Old Guest in a Foreign Land
Chapter 227 – Meeting an Old Guest in a Strange Land
Transmission of the Dharma Heavenly Father, Tai Shang Primordial True Scripture.
It was hard not to touch Li Fan’s nerves when the name of an item contained two extremely sensitive words.
Li Fan walked near this half-unfolded scroll and locked his divine sense.
The information of the item instantly surfaced.
“Picture of the Transmission of Dharma Heavenly Father forcibly seizing the Tai Shang Primordial True Scripture.”
“A number of years ago, the Heavenly Sovereign of Transmission of Dharma personally went to the Taishang Sect and wanted to borrow the Taishang Primordial True Scripture to have a look at it.”
“At that time, a cultivator who was proficient in painting happened to be a guest at the Taishang Sect.”
“So he used his brush to record this scene.”
“A replica.”
“Try to read it and burn it.”
“It is not recommended for cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to carry it with them.”
“Very much not recommended for cultivators of the Five Elders Association to carry with them.”
“Selling price: 200 contribution points.”
Li Fan scrutinized the price again and asked with an odd expression on his face, “This pair of diagrams, it only sells for 200 contribution points? Can it also be called a forbidden item?”
The store assistant on the side patiently explained, “Because it is a replica and can be produced in large quantities, the price is very cheap.”
“And the reason why it is recognized as a forbidden item is because this painting involves two Heavenly Dignitaries.”
“Displaying it freely will cause no small amount of trouble.”
Li Fan’s gaze flickered at the words, “Two Heavenly Dignitaries ……”
Immediately, he was about to pay and buy it.
Just then, Li Fan was suddenly alert, “There won’t be any trouble after looking at this picture, right?”
The store assistant smiled kindly: “This customer needs to know that this picture, does not have any twisted and smeared places. It’s just a record of the restoration of the picture from the perspective of a bystander.”
“What’s more, our cultivators are no different from ants in the eyes of the Heavenly Father.”
“The Heavenly Father wouldn’t care at all about what we say or do.”
“The real trouble comes from below Heavenly Father, those who are eager to show their loyalty ……”
The shopkeeper nodded and said no more.
Li Fan slowly nodded his head and spent 200 contribution points to buy the painting.
Holding the scroll in his hands, without having to unfold it, his divine sense entered the painting in a flash.
The surrounding scenery suddenly changed, as if in an instant, it traveled through time and space to thousands of years ago.
Above the vast sea of clouds, thirty-three floating peaks, one after the other, opened their clan protection formations.
A high-crowned old man, with a calm face, stepped into the air in the void.
“I’ve heard that the Taishang Sect has a volume of Primordial True Scriptures with infinite wonders, known as the source of all dharmas and the sect of all dharmas.”
“As today’s calamity descends, the Dharma cannot be practiced in the same way. For the sake of all the people in the world, I ask to borrow the scripture to have a look!”
The voice was neither fast nor slow, and it spread throughout the heavens and earth in an instant.
The vast sea of clouds dispersed, revealing the human world below.
The sky dimmed steeply, and the white sun and stars appeared.
A voice that was cold and did not contain any emotion at all suddenly resounded from the thirty-three peaks of the Taishang Sect, suppressing the many strange images.
“The deaths and lives of cultivators in the world have nothing to do with me.”
“Fellow Daoist and return!”
The high-crowned old man shook his head slightly, a look of compassion emerging on his face.
“In that case, what does my borrowing the scriptures have to do with you, Taishang?”
The old man took a step out and arrived in front of the Thirty-Three Peaks in an instant.
“Boom!”
A violent vibration came, and infinite white light drowned everything in view.
……
The content of the painting came to an abrupt end here, and Li Fan’s divine sense retreated from the painting.
Although what happened next was not described in the painting, but from the current situation of nowadays, where everyone knows the remnants of the “Tai Shang Primordial True Scripture” Transformation Technique, the outcome of this battle was self-evident.
Putting the painting away, Li Fan could not help but fall into a brief moment of contemplation.
“It turns out that the method of dispersing gong and recultivating, which all cultivators rely on extremely today, was also flowed out by the Immortal Master of Transmission of Dharma.”
“It can be said that without the presence of this method that is considered heaven-defying and allows one to switch to other techniques without a few losses, today’s trading system of techniques would not be able to be maintained at all.” “The situation of cultivators would definitely be much worse.”
“For the sake of the living ……”
“On the surface, one could indeed say that.”
“But ……”
Contemplating for a moment, Li Fan gathered his thoughts and continued to loiter in this forbidden object layer.
Commodities like this painting, which had become forbidden because it involved the secret stories of great powers, were still only a few.
The vast majority of them were materials that the Five Elder’s Association had expressly forbidden to be circulated and had all sorts of special effects.
Li Fan was more interested in the Enlightenment Pill that he had heard of before.
Then there was a portable teleportation array.
It didn’t require the user to know much about formations, and only needed to place the two ends of the teleportation array in a suitable open location.
The teleportation array would then be automatically constructed and energized.
Within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the construction of a teleportation formation could be considered a content with a high level of secrecy.
Li Fan had not been able to access the relevant knowledge so far.
Pill of Enlightenment, five hundred contribution points a piece.
Each cultivator is limited to one hundred.
Portable Teleportation Array, three thousand contribution points for one set.
Li Fan bought two sets just in case.
He then left the forbidden layer and purchased two Jindan techniques and twelve foundation building techniques in one breath.
Almost all of the three hundred extreme spirit stones carried by the doppelganger were spent before he gave up.
When he left the Ten Thousand Laws Chamber of Commerce, he was also thoughtfully gifted with a pair of masks.
With the mask on, one could change their body shape and appearance to prevent being tracked.
Li Fan smiled and accepted the mask.
Turning his head, he rented a guest house in Tian Chang Mountain City and initiated a ceremony to first transfer the supplies purchased this time into the White Bone Advance Realm.
Only then did he breathe a little sigh of relief.
The control center of the Advance Realm, White Bone’s left hand, the main body and the doppelganger each held a copy.
This way, even if they encountered any accidents on the way back, at most, they would only lose a bilocation.
After the matter was dealt with, the doppelganger went out of the guest house and skulked around this Heavenly Long Mountain City again.
Three days later, Qing Mu and the others had also finished purchasing the things they wanted to buy.
When they were ready to return home, they encountered a group of cultivators who had traveled far from Cong Yunhai.
This team was led by a YuanYing cultivator named Ling Meng.
Although this person and Qing Mu did not know each other, they had both heard of each other’s names.
They were also both Cong Yunhai cultivators, so the group decided to return together after discussing the matter.
It is also good to take care of each other.
Waiting for a few more days, before embarking on the long road back home.
Compared to the time of their arrival, the returning team has nearly doubled in size.
There were two YuanYing, seven Jindan, and two dozen Foundation Establishment.
The lineup of the team could not be said to be any less large.
It deterred many petty people with ulterior motives.
The journey was finally much more peaceful.
Li Fan always felt that the YuanYing cultivator called Ling Meng looked familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen him before.
Still, in the Tian Xuan Mirror, the original cultivator who was practicing sent out a thought.
The past memories were scrutinized one by one, and only then did he recall them.
This Ling Meng, precisely in his twelfth life, had entered the Husbandman’s Study Hall.
The YuanYing cultivator who died tragically in a cave exploration shortly afterward.
Li Fan had seen this person’s effigy in the Hall of Heavenly Mechanics, thus he felt somewhat familiar.
In this life, Li Fan did not go to do the mission of the Cloud and Water Talisman, and the events of the green ox pulling the cart and the present of the Husbandman should not have happened.
It is that I don’t know if it is possible to change the fate of this person’s fall.
