Chapter 113: The Medicine King Sect

"Brother Jiao, are you doing business at a loss again?" Li Fan joked.

When Jiao Xiuyuan saw the guests coming, his angry face instantly turned into a smile.

But after hearing Li Fan's teasing, his face suddenly turned dark.

He said awkwardly, "Fellow Daoist, that's not true. I, Jiao, never do business at a loss."

Then, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "This kid actually dared to play tricks on me. He really thinks I, Jiao Xiuyuan, am easy to bully, right?"

Li Fan seemed to have heard him say this more than once, so he just smiled and said nothing.

Looking at the small tripod on the table, he asked, "Fellow Daoist Jiao, what is this small tripod..."

Jiao Xiuyuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately introduced Li Fan enthusiastically: "This little tripod is extraordinary. I went through a lot of trouble to find it from the ruins of a ruined sect."

"Oh? I wonder what this little tripod is used for?" Li Fan became interested. Most of the objects that survived the catastrophe and survived to this day are not simple.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know the famous Medicine King Sect?" Jiao Xiuyuan said mysteriously.

"Never heard of it." Li Fan shook his head.

Jiao Xiuyuan's smile froze instantly.

Fortunately, he has strong professional qualities and immediately started to explain to Li Fan.

"The Medicine King Sect was also one of the most famous sects in ancient times. It has always been famous for its alchemy and medicine cultivation."

"It is said that after the Immortal Venerable passed on his teachings and before the great catastrophe, the then leader of the Medicine King Sect, Liu Ruchen, had a vague premonition that the world might be about to undergo a great change."

“So, Liu Ruchen took an extremely tough attitude and led the entire Medicine King Sect, using the Medicine King Cauldron as a boat to dissolve the void, break through the boundary and leave.”

This was the first time Li Fan had heard of such an anecdote: "Breaking through the boundary? Where did they go?"

Jiao Xiuyuan shrugged: "It happened thousands of years ago, who knows? It's possible that he went to a small world nearby, or it's possible that he went to a brand new world. Anyway, that's not the point."

"The key point is this tripod!"

Li Fan nodded slightly, but his clone Lin Fan quickly searched for the keyword: "world".

Relevant information immediately emerged.

It is very valuable and requires more than a thousand contribution points.

Buy it, read it.

Long ago, immortal cultivators had already established a basic worldview.

The world of immortal cultivation that we are in now is not the only world that exists.

Not only around the world, there are many attached small worlds and miniature independent caves.

Outside of the endless void, there are other existences that are similar to our world.

Before the catastrophe, the ancient and prosperous world of immortal cultivation had had a lot of exchanges with other worlds.

The cultivators at that time all called themselves "Cultivators of the Xuanhuang Realm".

…

Li Fan paused slightly.

“Xuan Huang…”

My thoughts were swirling in my mind as I continued reading.

But from one day on, this kind of contact and communication was suddenly cut off for some unknown reason.

There were once cultivators who wanted to cross the void and explore other worlds they had communicated with.

But all are gone and never come back.

Later, a catastrophe struck and the world changed dramatically.

The Xuanhuang Realm seems to be even more "autistic".

It has become countless times more difficult to break through the void and leave here.

Hundreds of years passed until the killing stopped and order was re-established.

Only then did new cultivators try to get in touch with other worlds again.

But over the years, nothing has been discovered.

However, it seems that relevant research is still ongoing and has not been abandoned.

…

"I see, Xuanhuang Realm?"

"Could it be that the Xuanhuang Qingxin Mantra has been passed down since ancient times? But the immortal and mortal miasma had not yet appeared at that time, so the time doesn't match up."

Li Fan thought to himself.

What exactly happened in ancient times, even in the Tianxuan Realm, there is no clear written record.

What is certain is that there are monks who have survived from that time to the present day.

For example, the white-haired old man Li Fan had seen before.

But they all remained silent on this, making this period of history shrouded in fog and confusing.

Today's monks can only get a glimpse of what happened in ancient times based on hearsay.

What Kou Hong told Li Fan at the beginning is the commonly circulated saying in the world of immortal cultivation today.

It was the time when the great catastrophe was coming and immortals could no longer practice their magic together. It happened before the miasma between immortals and mortals spread.

But later Li Fan found the tomb of Yi Xingzhi, an outer disciple of Taiyan Sect.

According to the description on the murals on the tomb passage, when the miasma between immortals and mortals was prevalent, the Tai Yan Sect was obviously still in the world.

Yi Xing was ordered to be responsible for the migration of mortals.

This is the contradiction that Kou Hong mentioned.

Li Fan believes more in the evidence obtained from "archaeology".

"According to Kou Hong, it seemed that some time had passed between the time when immortal arts could no longer be practiced together and the time when the killing was completely begun."

“Perhaps, this period of time is longer than expected.”

"Yes, the cultivators at that time must have immediately thought of the consequences of not being able to practice immortal arts together, so they tried every possible way to save themselves."

"The collapse of order didn't happen overnight. The ancient world of immortal cultivation has existed for who knows how long, so it may not be so unbearable."

"Moreover, the time scale of immortal cultivators is much larger than that of mortals."

"In the ancient world of immortal cultivation, cultivators lived very long lives."

"For them, a period of more than ten or twenty years is probably just a period of seclusion."

"True fear, despair, and killing will only erupt when one's cultivation is unable to advance and one's lifespan is about to end."

"At first, order could be maintained. But then, the miasma of immortals and mortals broke out..."

Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Of course, this was just his guess based on various known clues.

There may be something else behind the truth.

But generally speaking, it should not be far from Li Fan's guess.

…

Just when Li Fan was stunned, Jiao Xiuyuan saw that after he spoke, the other party did not respond.

So he took the small tripod and shook it in front of Li Fan.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you think? Do you want this small Medicine King Cauldron or not?"

Li Fan came back to his senses immediately, his expression unchanged: "What is the specific use of this small tripod? Fellow Daoist Jiao, please tell me again. I was just thinking about other things."

Jiao Xiuyuan had no choice but to repeat his introduction: "This small Medicine King Cauldron was originally used by the Medicine King Sect's people to plant and cultivate various spiritual plants and herbs."

"It's a space of its own inside, and it can automatically generate wood-attributed spiritual energy to accelerate the growth of herbs."

Li Fan frowned when he heard this: "Why didn't that person want such a treasure?"

Jiao Xiuyuan smiled awkwardly, but did not lie. He said truthfully, "Fellow Daoist, don't you know yet? The first batch of spiritual plants and herbs cultivated in the newly discovered wood-attributed spiritual cave of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance have already gone on sale."

"The number is extremely large, so..."

Jiao Xiuyuan tilted his head helplessly.

“The prices collapsed.”
