Chapter 15: The Foundation Has Become a Bones
This small wooden boat is exactly the flying boat that Li Fan has been dreaming of.
And through a message engraved on the wall of the tomb by the tomb owner before his death, Li Fan finally understood the whole story.
It turns out that the tomb owner is Qian Hong, a cultivator in the foundation-building stage. More than three thousand years ago, he was hunted by his enemies and had nowhere else to go, so he hid in this immortal land.
He wanted to hide for a while and then leave, but who knew that there was no spiritual energy in this immortal land, and he was a poor cultivator with few spiritual stones on him. Not long after, the spiritual stones were used up. Without spiritual stones to replenish spiritual energy, his cultivation level deteriorated.
After failing to break into the Xian Jue formation and being seriously injured, Qian Hong knew that he was trapped here.
But this person was tenacious and did not give up.
He guessed that when mortals were exiled here thousands of years ago, perhaps one or two flying boats were left behind.
So he searched from many sources and spent decades before finally finding Yi Xing's tomb.
There was indeed a flying boat in the tomb, but what made him despair was that the core power formation inside the flying boat had been damaged, and he was not good at refining equipment, so he could not repair it.
Moreover, even if the flying boat was repaired, without the spirit stones, his level of cultivation at that time would not be able to provide it with enough power.
At this point, Qian Hong finally gave up the idea of leaving this immortal place. After that, he changed his name and lived an ordinary life as a mortal.
Before his death, he carved his life story on the wall of his tomb, hoping that if any immortal cultivators in the future broke into his tomb, they would be able to take his remains back to the immortal world. The few things he left in the tomb were his advance payment.
The first one is to guard Qian Hong’s tomb. It is the source of power that caused the deaths of dozens of visitors before, and it is also the reason why Qian Hong firmly believes that anyone who can break in must be a cultivator.
Wonders of Heaven and Earth: Stop at the Broken Monument.
A half-broken stone tablet still has the word "止" vaguely visible on it.
Li Fan touched the stone tablet, but there was no reaction, which made him feel a little sorry. In order to force his way into the cemetery, he had used a large amount of immortal miasma. Now the broken stone tablet was affected by the immortal miasma and had turned into an ordinary stone.
However, Li Fan didn't care too much about it. Knowing the location of Qian Hong's tomb, he could come back in his next life to get it.
The second thing Qian Hong left behind was two jade slips, which recorded the skills he had painstakingly exchanged from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
"'Xiao Huanzhen Jue', Qi Refining Stage Kung Fu, current number of practitioners: 1."
"Cloud and Water Records, foundation-building period technique, current number of practitioners: 1."
Li Fan's heart skipped a beat when he picked up the jade slip and felt the information it conveyed. He thought Qian Hong was not dead and this was a trap set by him.
But after a moment, Li Fan realized that more than three thousand years had passed. Not to mention the foundation-building cultivators, even the golden elixir cultivators would probably turn into a pile of yellow earth.
As for why some people are practicing these skills now, Li Fan understood it after a little thought.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance must have the original archive of the technique. If you see the number of people practicing the technique has become zero, you know that the cultivator who previously exchanged and practiced this technique has died.
After that, these skills can naturally be taken out and exchanged for others again.
It can even be said that over the past three thousand years, these two skills have had countless masters.
"Dark... so dark..." Li Fan was speechless.
After some emotion, Li Fan turned his attention to the third item, Tai Yan Zhou.
This thing is exactly the tool used by Taiyan Sect to relocate mortals.
Perhaps it was precisely because the flying boat was broken that it was left behind.
After thousands of years of twists and turns, it now fell into Li Fan's hands and became his hope to escape from this desperate situation between immortals and mortals.
Li Fan was filled with excitement as he took the Taiyan Boat in his hand. After hundreds of years of anticipation, his wish was finally fulfilled.
As for the fact that the Tai Yan Boat was already damaged, Li Fan was not worried at all.
Qian Hong can’t repair it, and Li Fan can’t repair it either, but there are people who can!
…
Fifteen years later, anchored for fifty years, Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi came to Xuanjing City again.
"Dao Xuanzi! Don't go too far!"
"Kou Hong! Do you think I will let you go just because you have fled to this immortal land? Hand over the skills you got that day, or I will fight you to the death!"
"What a joke! It is because of my lack of a method to form a pill that I have been stuck in the foundation-building stage for nearly a hundred years. My time is almost up and I will be reduced to dry bones. But I have this method to form a pill. How can I possibly give it to others?"
"That's right! Only I can achieve the Golden Elixir. Although there are many methods to form the Golden Elixir in this world, there are more cultivators stuck in the Foundation Establishment stage! In this case, with the method of longevity in front of me, how can I let you go? How can I not go too far!"
"It was just a fight! How ridiculous that you and I have been brothers for a hundred years, but now we are fighting against each other for a glimmer of hope!"
…
The two were about to fight to the death, but they heard bursts of bold laughter coming from Xuanjing City below.
"But is a mere Jindan technique worth a fight to the death between the two of you?!"
Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi's expressions changed at the same time and they looked down.
"Who are you? You are so arrogant!"
“Arrogant!”
As they talked, their expressions became alert at the same time.
"Why don't you two come down and have a chat!"
In the Grand Tutor's Mansion below, a silver-haired old man shouted loudly.
Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi looked at each other, kept a distance cautiously, and landed in the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
"Hahaha, please!" The silver-haired old man seemed very happy. He took the two of them to the lobby and sat down.
After ordering his servants to prepare wine and food for the guests, he said with some emotion: "When our ancestor was dying, he said that in the future, two people might come from the east of Xuyuan and set foot in the capital. This would be the opportunity for our clan to leave this place."
"For thousands of years, people in my tribe have been half-believing and half-doubting. Today, we have the proof, and everything is clear!" The old man laughed and drank the wine in the glass in front of him.
Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi looked at each other.
"What is your name?" Kou Hong asked first, his tone much more polite.
"My name is Li Fan." Li Fan replied with a smile.
"From what you said, it seems that your ancestors had foreseen thousands of years ago that the two of us would come here? What does the opportunity to escape from this place mean?" Daoxuanzi frowned and looked at Li Fan.
Li Fan seemed a little unhappy when he heard this: "Why? You two don't believe it?"
Kou Hong smiled and shook his head: "This matter is too mysterious. The two of us have been in the world of immortal cultivation for a hundred years, and we have never heard of any deduction technique that can predict what will happen a thousand years later."
Daoxuanzi also kept shaking his head.
Li Fan stood up straight, raised his head and asked, "Have you ever heard of Taiyan Sect?"
Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi looked at each other, somewhat shocked: "Could it be that the sect in ancient times that was famous for its deduction technique?"
Li Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded calmly, "My ancestor was a disciple of Taiyan Sect."
