Chapter 825: Born to be a Friend
Chapter 819 – A Natural Born Confidant
A trace of consternation appeared on Li Fan’s face as he falsely asked, “Fellow Daoist Yin, what’s wrong with you?”
“But what is the fallacy in this [Foundation Building Method with Me] that I deduced?”
Looking at Li Fan’s face full of puzzlement, Lord Yin opened his mouth, wanting to speak.
In the end, he gave up in dismay.
Only after a long time of bewilderment did he get up again.
Bypassing Li Fan, he walked to a blank wall in the underground chamber and used his hand as a pen.
Recording down the [Foundation Building Method with Me] in one breath.
After writing, he stopped in front of it with an intoxicated expression.
The expression on his face changed one after another, with marvel, emotion, and regret.
Li Fan did not disturb him either, but similarly stood in front of this peerless Foundation Establishment Method and silently viewed it.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but only then did Lord Yin turn around leisurely.
He looked towards Li Fan, bowed his head and said, “If this method is truly comprehended by fellow Daoist ……”
“Then fellow Daoist is truly a supreme talent, I am far inferior!”
“This version of [Building a Foundation with Me] is perfect. It can be used as a heirloom method!”
Following this, he let out a long sigh, “If I had been fortunate enough to obtain this method when I built my foundation that day. Then it wouldn’t have turned into the current state.”
“What does Fellow Daoist Yin mean by this?” Li Fan pretended not to know.
On the other hand, Lord Yin grinned as his body split apart from it, revealing his other self within the interior of his body.
And then he explained a bit more.
“With my Foundation Establishment having been accomplished, but I don’t even have the chance to repent and retrain.” Lord Yin lamented.
Li Fan, on the other hand, hit the snake on the stick and took the opportunity to comfort, “Actually, there is no big difference between the two. It’s all about having no path ahead and stopping at Foundation Establishment.”
Lord Yin then froze a bit, “Fellow Daoist this is ……”
Li Fan confessed truthfully, “This is another reason why I came to find you, Fellow Daoist Yin.”
“I was originally excited after I deduced the Foundation Building with Me method. I thought I had opened up a whole new path. I originally thought that I would confidently continue to deduce the next Jindan, Yuanyin, and other follow-ups.”
“Nay ……”
Li Fan shook his head slightly, his face filled with bitterness, “I pondered for a long time, but I simply couldn’t find out where the path afterward was.”
“With the fact that after I built my foundation, all laws were returned to me. I think this Golden Dan is the same, according to the ancient Immortal Cultivation texts, I will call it [Mixed Golden Dan].”
“But exactly how to accomplish this perfect [Mixed Yuan Golden Dan], I am at a loss. It’s as if the inspiration has all been exhausted, and it’s as if there’s something that exists and purposely prevents me from exploring it all ……”
Li Fan said, his expression becoming very painful.
On the other hand, Lord Yin was vaguely empathetic and hastened to comfort him.
“Fellow Daoist can break through the secret of [building foundation with me], you are already a genius that is hard to see under the heavens, exceeding ordinary cultivators by too much. Why do you need to be so hard on yourself?”
“As for the Mixed Golden Dan you mentioned ……”
Lord Yin pondered, “This is a path that is destined to not be too easy to follow. It can truly be described as going against the heavens.”
Saying that, Lord Yin seemed to have remembered something and abruptly fell into silence.
“I have a hidden feeling in my heart. Perhaps in this lifetime, there is no possibility of going further on this new path. That’s why I came to find you, Daoyou.” Li Fan looked at Shangren Yin with full sincerity.
“To be able to first propose the [Foundation Building Method with Me], your fellow Daoist’s pioneering thinking must be far superior to mine. Perhaps it can once again open up a new step?”
At that moment, not caring, he directly spoke the exposition about the [Mixed Golden Dan] in one breath.
After saying that, he stared at Yin with full expectations, “What does fellow Daoist think?” Shangren Yin couldn’t control himself and listened mesmerized.
“Well, let me think, let me think.” It seemed as if he was directly caught up in deduction, his expression becoming slightly dazed.
It was only after a long time that he came to his senses.
“This method is difficult, more so than building a foundation with me. It’s not something that can be answered in a moment.”
“Besides, I have other things to study ……,” Shang Yin’s face was a little hesitant.
“As I look at the scene on Daoyou’s island, it seems to be related to the Immortal Mortal Miasma?” Li Fan asked.
Shangren Yin nodded his head and said, “Fellow Daoist is truly a man of vision. I have a hunch that this Immortal Mortal Miasma hides a great hidden secret between heaven and earth.”
“Then I wish you, Fellow Daoist, the best of luck in advance in solving this mystery! When the day really comes, I still hope to share it with me.” Li Fan laughed out loud and said very naturally.
“Fellow Daoist don’t worry! You were able to tell me the perfect [Foundation Building Method with Me] without any concealment, so I naturally won’t hide anything.” Lord Yin sized up Li Fan and said with great delight, “I didn’t expect that I would still be able to meet someone like you, Fellow Daoist, in the world, who is like-minded.”
“Before I came here, I didn’t think that I would be so kindred spirits with fellow Daoist either.” Li Fan was also elated.
“By the way, I do think that you, Taoist friend, don’t have to worry that deducing the [Mixed Golden Dan] will delay the process of researching the Immortal-Mundane Miasma. In my experience, the two alternate and synchronize. When one side encounters a desperate dilemma, one might as well turn to the other side first. Perhaps, inspiration will come of its own accord soon after.” Li Fan recounted his “experience and insights” in a long winded manner.
Hearing this, Shangren Yin’s eyes overflowed with color.
The two of them hated each other and talked for three days and nights on the island.
Until finally before parting, Li Fan launched an invitation to Lord Yin.
“This island here, is too shabby. How can it be worthy of fellow Daoist’s elegance? I have a small world with magnificent scenery and pure nature. It’s just right for us to dive into our studies. Why don’t you go back with me?”
Those in the Xuanhuang Realm who could own their own cave and small world were either rich or noble.
A trace of surprise flashed in Lord Yin’s eyes after he heard this.
There was some hesitation, but in the end, he refused Li Fan’s gracious invitation.
“Although this island is a bit small, I am used to staying here. Perhaps when I get tired of staying in the future, I will go to your place, fellow Daoist, to play the autumn breeze.”
Li Fan was not surprised by Lord Yin’s answer.
A look of great regret appeared on his face, and then he bid farewell in reluctance.
Before leaving, he also handed over his communication spirit talisman.
He said that he must contact and exchange ideas more often.
Turning to leave Yin Yin Island, he flew some distance away, but suddenly stopped.
Looking back at the island, Li Fan hesitated for a few moments and finally canceled his intention of casting the [Phase-less Killing Chance] to lock Shangren Yin in place.
“Lord Yin’s strength is a bit odd and cannot be viewed as an ordinary Foundation Establishment. This world has already won his initial trust by using my Foundation Establishment method. Rather, there’s no need to draw a snake.”
“Although the Phaseless Killing Machine is hidden, there’s no guarantee that he won’t notice it.”
After pondering for a moment, Li Fan then finally left.
Flying all the way to the west, he exited the Cong Yun Sea and arrived at the Shi Lin Prefecture.
Ever since the fall of the Nine Mountains Prefecture, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had attempted to organize several counterattacks.
Attempts were made to retake it.
Nay, the Nine Mountain Dangerous Land, every mountain and river, was like a natural barrier.
The counterattacks all ended in failure.
