“Senior, I can tell you the exact locations where the two Blue Blood Corals were gathered. I do not care about any reward. However, could you share the results of your investigation with me after you finish?”
“I consider myself discerning, but I never thought I would fail to recognize treasures when they are right in front of me.”
“Not knowing the reasons, I cannot let this go.”
Li Fan sent a message to Chen Ying through the Tianxuan Mirror.
Soon enough, Chen Ying replied.
“Hehe, at the moment it is only a guess. There is no need for my junior friend to be perturbed.”
“I need to confirm it on site before I can come to a final conclusion.” “If my junior friend doesn’t mind, you can accompany me there.”
“If my junior friend doesn’t mind, you can accompany me there.”
Reading Chen Ying’s invitation, Li Fan immediately looked up information about him.
Chen Ying, a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator.
He is an elder of the Medical Hall, very skilled at nurturing spiritual plants and also highly proficient in alchemy techniques.
“To accompany him..
“This person does not seem to harbor any ill intentions. Besides, he only holds the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Early Stage. ‘
“If he discovers some secret and intends to silence me, I might be able to protect myself.”
Having killed a Nascent Soul cultivator, his mentality had vastly changed. Furthermore, holding the trump card known as the “Soul of Ten Thousand” , he had the strength to fight back, even if the other party turned hostile.
“As you wish!”
After some contemplation, Li Fan replied.
“Good! There is no time to delay, let’s depart immediately. I will be waiting for you at the Dharma Dissemination Square.”
“Also, just to be cautious, I will change my appearance.”
“You can call me Ying Chen.”
“Make sure to disguise yourself too when you leave.”
“This is my commonly used ‘Trace Erasure Talisman’ when going out. It can hide your cultivation level and prevent others from tracking you. Make sure to keep it on you and activate it.”
Chen Ying sent him an image of a completely different face, along with a Trace Erasure Talisman.
“This person…” Li Fan muttered in his heart.
To be safe, Li Fan spent three thousand contribution points in the Tianxuan Mirror to buy a Random Transfer Necklace.
He then hurried to the Dharma Dissemination Square.
After scanning the area, he spotted Chen Ying, who had altered his appearance. He walked up and saluted him, “Could it be friend Ying Chen?”
Chen Ying gave a slight smile, “Yes, it is! Let’s not delay and set off. Please guide the way!”
Li Fan nodded and without hesitation, they arrived in front of the Mist Crow Statue at the Dharma Dissemination Square.
After activating the Teleportation Array, the two of them arrived at Fog Crow Island.
The black-robed guardian on the island was as indifferent as ever.
The two of them disregarded him and, under Li Fan’s leadership, headed straight towards the ruins.
“Senior, we have reached the location.”, Li Fan said to Chen Ying after arriving at their destination, while keeping himself on high alert.
Chen Ying looked at the endless ruins under the sea with narrowed eyes.
Then a foggy image appeared around his body, as if countless spiritual plants were growing.
With the heavenly spectacle cast over him, and sensing the omnipresent yet subtle pressure, Li Fan became even more anxious. The Mist Blade, Sky Flipping Palm, and the Random Transfer Necklace were all ready to be activated.
After a moment, Chen Ying tucked away the heavenly spectacle.
He shook his head, “It’s not here, it should be somewhere else.”
Li Fan was slightly relieved, “The other location isn’t far from here, it’s at the bottom of an underwater valley. ”
As before, Li Fan led the way.
It did not take them long to reach their destination.
Li Fan quickly moved to the side, remaining on high alert.
Chen Ying, on the other hand, released that heavenly spectacle again, carefully sensing his surroundings.
After a while, Chen Ying’s face lit up with delight.
“Good, it is here!”
“Once, an incredibly ice-cold energy landed here. The Blue Blood Coral must have absorbed some of this energy, which greatly increased its effectiveness!” With his eyes half-closed, Chen Ying reveled in his discovery.
“Just from the lingering frostforce alone, I can sense an immeasurable tranquility and serenity within.”
“All stray thoughts in the mind have been erased.”
“Such perfection is as if it directly derived from the Heaven-Earth Principle.”
“Splendid, truly splendid.”
Chen Ying spoke on, finally standing still as if he had fallen into enlightenment.
Seeing how passionately the other man spoke, Li Fan couldn’t help but also start to comprehend.
However, like before, regardless of his efforts, he wasn’t able to sense anything special about this place.
“Frostforce, stray thoughts eliminated, principle derivation… ‘ Li Fan muttered and suddenly, as if he realized something.
His face turned bizarre.
He recalled the scene when he first obtained the Blue Blood Coral.
A massive squid clinging greedily onto the Blue Blood Coral.
Countless tentacles wrapped around the coral, stubbornly refusing to let go.
Any creature that dared to approach would trigger the squid’s furious attacks. Back then, to not ruin this treasure worth three thousand contribution points,
Li Fan used Binding Worm to immobilized the furious squid and instead of using his Mist Blade or Sky Flipping Palm, he summoned the Blue Flame Spirit.
It turned the squid into an ice sculpture, which he then effortlessly shattered.
The squid ice sculpture turned into countless fragments, disappearing into the
Sea.
After that, Li Fan easily collected the Blue Blood Coral.
so…
Could the frostforce that Chen Ying mentioned, which enhanced the medicinal properties of the Blue Blood Coral, be from the Blue Flame Spirit?
The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, and Li Fan couldn’t help but find it both funny and frustrating.
No wonder he couldn’t find anything special no matter how he looked.
It turned out to be a complete misunderstanding.
He thought he had encountered a great opportunity.
Unbeknownst to him, he was the chance itself.
With his doubts cleared, Li Fan looked at Chen Ying, who was now nonchalantly enjoying enlightenment without a shred of caution.
He found it quite strange.
For someone who’s said to be cautious, he was practicing right in front of another cultivator.
Even if, on the surface, he was simply an ordinary Final Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator who couldn’t pose a substantial threat to him.
But a disruption of his enlightenment process would be an annoyance, wouldn’t it?
He didn’t seem to care at all.
If you say he’s careless, he was clearly cautious before. He used every method to change his appearance and hide his figure.
Li Fan was even worried that he would face danger in some remote place.
It seems that concern was for nothing. However, despite his inner complaints,
Li Fan did not let down his guard.
He kept a good distance, ready to use his two major killing moves and the Teleportation Necklace at any moment.
He was afraid that this person’s outward image was just a disguise.
Just like that, after nearly half a day, Chen Ying woke up from his enlightenment.
His eyes shone brightly, his spirit refreshed, and his joy was beyond words.
He blurted: “Great! With this enlightenment, I will be able to delve even deeper into the Fallen Immortal Realm!”
Upon hearing this, Li Fan felt a stir in his heart.
“The Fallen Immortal Realm? Is this the secret realm he mentioned earlier?”
Chen Ying slowly gathered his aura, looking at Li Fan who was apparently fearful of interrupting his practice and hiding far away.
A hint of admiration appeared in his eyes..
