Chapter 44: Finally Entering the Qi Refining Stage
Chapter 44: Finally Entering the Qi Refining Stage
Zhang Haobo looked at Li Fan with awe and delight in his eyes.
He had heard that Elder Li had already washed away his miasma, and it wouldn’t be long before he could become the immortal master that everyone admired.
At this moment, he was naturally in awe and fear when he saw it.
“So it’s you.” Li Fan had a fair impression of this person, and immediately smiled, “Speaking of which, it has been several years since I saw you, how have you been doing lately.”
Zhang Haobo didn’t dare to slack off and honestly explained, “Thanks to Elder Li’s blessing, the fleet’s benefits over the past few years have been really good. In particular, Elder Li’s matter of you being able to retrieve a large amount of treasure every time you go out to sea has been attracting a large number of young people who want to join the flotilla.”
“Our treatment and status on the island has also risen. I don’t know how many people are envious.”
Halfway through speaking, Zhang Haobo paused, wanting to speak.
“But there is no harm in speaking.” Li Fan signaled him to continue.
“But …… the brothers on the Cang Yuan ship have recently discussed leaving Liuli Island. I also have this idea vaguely.”
“Oh?” Li Fan was a little surprised, “To where?”
“I’m not hiding it from Elder Li, we haven’t settled on it either.” Zhang Haobo said with some trepidation.
Li Fan became interested this time, “Since the days are going well, how did the idea of leaving suddenly arise?”
Zhang Haobo scratched his head, “Saying it out is afraid that Elder Li will laugh, it is just …… that there is some hidden uneasiness in his heart.”
“Uneasy? Tell me carefully.” Li Fan commanded.
Zhang Haobo was silent for a moment, seemingly organizing his words.
After a while, he looked around and whispered, “I’m not going to hide it from Elder Li, our brothers recently went out to sea and encountered all sorts of strange things.”
“Such as?”
“The last few times we’ve gone out to sea, we tend to go down with one net, which is full of thousands of pounds of fish. Nine out of ten nets are like this, and there are all kinds of fish.”
“Isn’t that a good thing?”
“A good thing is indeed a good thing, but I’ve been fishing on the sea for more than ten years, and I’ve never seen anything like this before.” Zhang Haobo’s eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, a hint of fear.
“It’s as if all the fish on the entire seabed are fleeing, all gathered together.”
“And?” Li Fan pondered for a moment and continued to ask.
“Our brothers have been living on this Liuli Island since we were young, and we know the reef places around the island very well. But we recently discovered that there are more exposed reefs around the island.” Zhang Haobo said with some seriousness.
“You are saying that the …… water level is falling?” Li Fan instantly understood.
“In the past, there were water level changes every year as well, but this year’s water level changes seem a bit unusual. The brothers are a bit worried.” Zhang Haobo said.
“We already reflected this matter to the Liuli Prefecture in January, but they obviously didn’t care much about it, saying that it was just a regular water level change.” Zhang Haobo added.
“There’s another thing that worries us a bit more. In the past three years, there actually hasn’t been a single windstorm. It’s not just the waters around our Liuli Island, but the entire Cong Yun Sea.”
“We’ve communicated with the fleets of each island, and it’s absolutely correct. Wind disasters have become extinct in the Cong Yun Sea in these three years.” Zhang Haobo was afraid that Li Fan would not believe him and hurriedly added.
Not knowing what this meant, Li Fan remained silent.
“Windstorms, since the day I was born, have never stopped. When it’s more, there are more than a dozen a year, and when it’s less, there are two or three. It’s been like this for decades.”
“Nowadays, however, no windstorms have appeared for three whole years. Some of the people on the island are clapping their hands, saying that this is the blessing of the Immortal Master. My brothers and I don’t see it that way.”
“This is too counterintuitive, something big is definitely about to happen.” Zhang Haobo said with certainty.
“Maybe it’s just that the weather will be a bit hot in the future.” Li Fan thought for a moment and spoke out to comfort him. “The island is blessed by the Island Protector Formation, and there are even some Immortal Masters sitting on the island. Even if there is any situation, I think we can cope with it.”
“Elder Li naturally has a point. There are quite a few brothers on board who think the same way. But I just feel vaguely uneasy and can’t put my mind at ease.” Zhang Haobo smiled bitterly.
“That’s why I’ve decided to leave, to leave the Cong Yunhai.” Zhang Haobo’s gaze gradually became firm.
Seeing this, Li Fan had no choice but to say, “It’s not an easy thing to leave your home town, so you have to think about it again.” Zhang Haobo nodded his head.
Li Fan no longer said anything, after bidding farewell to Zhang Haobo, he strolled around the market for half a day before returning home.
Thinking carefully, this Zhang Haobo is not a worrywart.
All the signs do indicate that there should be something strange happening in Cong Yunhai.
Perhaps a huge wind disaster is secretly accumulating strength;
Or perhaps a serious drought is taking shape.
But, none of this is a big deal.
After all, Zhang Haobo is only a mortal, when the big disaster comes, there is no power of self-protection, can only listen to God’s fate.
It is normal to be worried and fearful.
Li Fan has already stepped into the threshold of immortal cultivators, as long as he can break through to the Qi Refining stage, he will be able to go to the Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
There were many Immortal Cultivators there, so naturally he didn’t need to worry about these disasters.
Taking a step back, if that kind of disaster that even Immortal Cultivators couldn’t cope with really appeared, worrying about it would also be useless.
Therefore, what Li Fan needed to do now was still to practice the Five Spirit Inspired Qi Method without fear.
By the way, at the Wan Bao Lou, Yin Yu Zhen could be notified so that she could make early preparations.
……
This episode quickly passed, and Li Fan continued to cultivate intensely.
Time passed.
Another year passed.
Zhang Haobo finally chose to leave Cong Yunhai with some of his brothers from the Cang Yuan ship half a year ago. This matter also caused a ripple on the island and people began to worry.
However, it had been calm and quiet within these half a year, without the slightest shadow of any major disaster, so people again treated this matter as a laughing matter.
Yin Yu Zhen finally accumulated enough strength and returned to Night Rend Island in high spirits, and after a lot of twists and turns, she still reclaimed the position of the Grand Master of Tian Bao Lou’s headquarters.
When Night Rend Island was first settled, there were still a lot of chores that needed to be dealt with. In order to prevent the villain from repeating himself, Yin Yu Zhen will have to stay on Night Rend Island for the last few years and will not be able to come back. She only sent someone to come and report her joy to Li Fan.
He Zheng Hao’s place also did not send anyone to visit anymore. In He Zhenghao’s opinion, Li Fan had taken nearly four years to draw qi into his body, so obviously his potential had been exhausted, and it was no longer worth spending his best efforts to pay attention to him.
Xiao Heng did occasionally send letters to inquire about Li Fan’s recent situation.
It was said that Xiao Heng had made rapid progress and was now in the middle stage of qi refining.
……
The world was in turmoil, and Li Fan watched coldly as if he were a passerby.
Only patiently practicing.
On this day, Li Fan’s heart moved.
Having accumulated enough Five Spirit Fuel, the Root of Heaven and Earth was finally about to take shape!
A shadow appeared in Li Fan’s dantian, and in an instant, Li Fan felt an additional subtle, yet incomparably close connection between himself and Heaven and Earth.
It was like a waterwheel extracting water from a river and watering a good, dry field.
A trace of heaven and earth aura followed the root of heaven and earth and slowly flowed into Li Fan’s dantian, quickly spreading to his entire body.
Li Fan entered the seventh year of the Immortal Cultivation World and finally entered the Qi Refining Stage.
