Chapter 77: The Shadow Follows the Shadow Decision
Chapter 77 – Ru Shadow Following Resolve
Li Fan found many glazed beads that had not yet been fully digested inside the stomach of the foreign beast dragon whale.
It should be the remnants of the dragon whale after it had swallowed the school of glazed fish.
“It seems that since that giant glazed fish was killed by me, the glazed fish group is in a worrying situation.” Li Fan pondered in his heart.
In addition to the glazed beads, there were other messy things such as half a coral and a fish bone that shone brightly.
Li Fan didn’t care if he recognized them or not, he packed them all.
Finally, Li Fan checked once more to make sure he didn’t miss anything before quietly leaving.
The journey was uneventful, and he safely returned to Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
After handing over the corpse of the foreign beast Dragon Whale, Li Fan then chose to exchange the things he had scavenged from within its stomach into contribution degrees one by one.
A total of 320 points.
After this, after some identification, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance also confirmed that the corpse of the dragon whale that Li Fan had turned in was the one that had attacked the island earlier.
Thus, the mission reward of 2000 points arrived.
Together with the 450 points left over from before, Li Fan currently had a total of 2,770 contribution points available.
“With this many contribution points, it should be enough to pick a satisfactory technique.”
Currently, Li Fan still lacked the means to conceal his aura so that he could track others.
These types of gong methods were also relatively rare, but for just the Qi Refining Stage, 2,770 contribution points would definitely be enough.
Li Fan began his selection in the Heavenly Xuan Realm.
At this moment, in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the task of hunting the alien beast Dragon Whale, which had once left many Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators helpless, was actually completed by a Qi Refining cultivator at this moment.
This abnormal phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Especially the group of people who had joined together to release the mission in the first place, were even more intensely puzzled.
“Late stage Qi Refining, Li Fan? What kind of person is this? Didn’t that dragon whale say that it could resist the attacks of Jindan cultivators? How did this Li Fan hunt it down?”
“Can it be that this person has hidden his cultivation?”
“This fellow Daoist is a newcomer to my Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, right, and wants to hide his cultivation in front of the Spiritual Treasure Tianxuan Mirror? How is that possible!”
“This person is indeed undoubtedly at the late stage of Qi Refining strength. I’ve gotten someone to confirm it, and he was only introduced to join my Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance by He Zhenghao not long ago.”
“Oh? Then how exactly did this person do it?”
“Could it be that this person is carrying a special treasure?”
……
The fact that a Qi Refining cultivator had done something that even a Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn’t do couldn’t help but make people think about it.
Just then, a disdainful voice rang out.
“Don’t even guess, latest insider information, this kid is just lucky.” These words immediately drew a wave of sideways glances.
“Fellow Daoist Zhou Peng, what does that say?”
“Yeah, good luck? How is that possible?”
……
Zhou Peng also lamented, “I can’t believe it either, but it’s true.”
“The corpse of that foreign beast Dragon Whale was sent to Elder Gongsun of Tianji Hall for analysis. The conclusion obtained was that this dragon whale had fought with at least three undersea beasts of the same level before it died.”
“The vast majority of the wounds on its body were left by these giant beasts.”
“Before its death, this foreign beast dragon whale had run out of gas. Even if we don’t need that kid to make a move, this Dragon Whale won’t live for long.”
When Zhou Peng finished speaking, the surroundings went silent.
Although it was a bit unbelievable, everyone had more or less heard of the name of Elder Gongsun of Tian Ji Hall.
So the conclusion he came to was still relatively believable.
“It is said that that dragon whale has signs of being about to transform into a dragon. Perhaps it’s because of this that it has caused other giant beasts to covet it.” “Very reasonable. For foreign beasts that can devour each other to evolve, this kind that has awakened its ancestor’s bloodline is the most tonic.”
“Aiya, this Qi Refining kid actually has such good luck. It’s really enviable, that’s 2000 contribution points!”
The surrounding people also nodded their heads when they heard this.
……
Li Fan had long been prepared in his mind for the possible repercussions of completing the Fey Beast Dragon Whale bounty mission.
However, he was also not afraid at all.
Because no matter how he looked at it, this dragon whale had died from the killing of giant beasts against each other. He was just lucky enough to pass by and pick up a bargain.
For the sake of 2000 contribution points, it was worth it to take a slight risk.
Putting the matter aside, after a period of searching and comparing, Li Fan determined his target feat.
The Like a Shadow Follows the Shadow Decree.
The gist of this technique was embodied in the four words, Ru Shadow Follows Shape.
The technique excelled in tracking and concealment.
Once it locked onto the opponent, it could follow closely as if it was the opponent’s shadow. It was difficult for the opponent to get rid of it.
It could even be like a shadow hiding in the shadows, making it impossible to detect.
Such a divine effect, the price is naturally not expensive.
1800 contribution points.
Li Fan was also not stingy and bought it directly.
Just as Li Fan was about to close his door for cultivation, he suddenly received a spirit symbol communication from He Zhenghao.
“Fellow Daoist Li Fan! Aiya, I didn’t realize that the cultivator who hunted the dragon whale was really you! I thought it was just another cultivator with the same name and realm as you!”
“It was only when someone approached me to inquire about you that I was sure that it was really you who killed that dragon whale!”
He Zhenghao looked unusually excited.
“Well well well, you can be considered to have taken out a mouthful of bad anger for me! You don’t even know, these days, the moment I close my eyes, it’s all the images of the plummeting price of that Spirit Mist Grass.”
……
Li Fan was silent for a while, and after a moment, he replied, “It’s just luck, when I was doing the mission, I happened to meet that Dragon Whale and other giant beasts killing together, so I picked up a bargain.”
Soon after the message was sent, He Zheng Hao immediately replied.
“Luck is also a part of strength, your talent and luck are all so extraordinary, the future must be a great road to be expected!”
Li Fan hadn’t thought of how to reply yet, when he saw He Zhenghao sending another message.
“It just so happens that I have a matter to ask for your help, I wonder if it’s possible?”
“Oh? What is it?”
“Uhm. I would like to ask you to act as the town guard of Liuli Island for me, I wonder what you think?”
“Acting as the town guard?” Li Fan was a little curious.
He Zhenghao hurriedly explained.
“Previously, because of that matter of Spirit Mist Grass, I lost most of my savings over the years. Seeing that I’m getting farther and farther away from that YuanYing Technique that I want to exchange, but I’m really not willing to do that.”
“It just so happens that a few friends have recently discovered an ancient cave and invited me to explore it together. According to them, this cave should have been closed before the Great Calamity descended, and there are bound to be quite a few exotic treasures inside, and it’s not impossible that there are even quite a few techniques in existence.”
“If I can make some gains, I can also somewhat make up for my losses. So I decided to put up a fight.”
Li Fan thought about it and did not give an immediate reply, but instead asked rhetorically, “I wonder how long I need to act as a proxy to guard the town?”
He Zhenghao replied quickly, “It won’t take long. As little as one or two years, but as much as three or four years.”
