Chapter 589: The Divine Tree Condenses Immortality
This was already the sixth cup of spiritual tea that Li Fan had drunk.
The name of the tea is [Xu Yang Chun Ri], and the contribution points for one cup are 800.
It is said that the tea tree needs to be cultivated in a cave environment with no rain all year round and planted facing the sun.
It sprouts once every three years and the yield is scarce.
After drinking it, a warm current will flow through your body, making you feel like you are bathing in the sun, and the effect will last for several days.
However, even this popular tea could not drive away the chill in Li Fan's heart.
This is the third time that Li Fan has directly faced a truly powerful being since he entered the cycle of reincarnation in the Xuanhuang Realm.
The first time was when his clone was discovered by Tian Yi, and the other party followed the sensing and directly broke into his Tianxuan Mirror private space.
The second time was when he was in seclusion in Tianyuzhou to comprehend the [Great Five Elements Nirvana Sword]. The old fisherman was attracted by the evil spirit contained in it and appeared out of the blue.
Compared with the previous two times, this contact was even more shocking and unexpected.
Also more dangerous.
At least the old fisherman himself was crazy and mentally ill, and he had no ill will towards Li Fan. Instead, he gave him an opportunity.
During the incident with Tian Yi, Li Fan was greedy for the 100,000 contribution points mission reward and took the initiative to provoke him. Although he did not know at that time that he should restrain his mind in front of the powerful, so that the other party noticed the clues. But at least Li Fan's self-consciousness was clear, and with Huan Zhen's protection, he was actually safe.
Only this time...
Taoist Xiumu's arrival was so sudden that it was impossible to guard against him.
His methods were also terrifying. Looking back now, Li Fan still feels genuinely scared.
"Unlike the Heavenly Doctor who can see through people's minds, Taoist Xiumu, or Ruomu, can directly distort and change the cultivators' thoughts and cognition."
"But the monks themselves will not feel anything abnormal..."
“No wonder Taoist Xiumu said earlier that the cultivators whose golden elixirs were taken were all [voluntary].”
Li Fan recalled his thoughts and reactions at that time, and a chill surged in his heart again.
I drank another cup of [Sunny Spring] to calm my nerves.
"It is natural for things to feel sympathy for their own kind."
“But when I followed him and saw the scene called [Fried Life], instead of feeling danger or sadness, I felt it was very reasonable.”
"I even wish I could take his place..."
Li Fan narrowed his eyes, and the Dao Stone in his mind kept replaying the scene before [Ruo Mu].
At this time, the influence of [Ruomu] has disappeared.
Even though Li Fan viewed all creatures in the world as tools, he still instinctively felt palpitations when he saw the cultivators hanging on branches like fruits.
This is the normal behavior.
"At Taoist Xiumu's place, my ideas were distorted and then seemed to have been guided in some way, becoming extremely extreme."
"It's a bit crazy, you could say."
Li Fan would not deny that deep down in his heart, he might have had a similar thought.
But human beings are complex spiritual entities, and sometimes they are even self-contradictory.
Of course, we cannot regard the thoughts that occasionally flash through our minds as our true worldview.
"There's something very wrong with this Taoist priest."
"It seems that they hate the monk community very much."
Li Fan naturally would not think that with Ruomu's level of cultivation, selling golden elixirs was just for the purpose of gaining contribution points.
Abducting monks, entering [Jian Renshou], and becoming a member of the production line is also secondary.
Perhaps the main purpose is to spread his idea that "monks can also be real".
This kind of heresy is definitely not tolerated by the cultivator community. The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance should also conduct corresponding supervision and restrictions, so Taoist Xiumu cannot make a big move.
"Revenge..." Li Fan's eyes flickered.
Heaven and earth gave birth to spirits, but if a tree cuts its lifespan, it will be like a tree. If you take the fruit of life-giving and longevity-promoting, you can live forever.
When Ruomu was controlling his mind, many images kept appearing in Li Fan's mind.
It was a towering tree that was completely different from the withered trees today.
It stands tall, green and full of vitality.
No monks were hung.
On the treetops at the top, there are only a few crystal clear, purple and gold exotic fruits.
Different patterns can be vaguely seen on the surface of the fruit.
There are trees, mountains, rivers, and strange beasts.
The patterns on the purple gold fruits are different from each other and there is no repetition.
In the flashing images, Li Fan also saw that next, there were occasional visits from humans.
At first, it seemed that they had no cultivation yet and were all dressed like mortals.
Only a very small number of lucky people can climb up to the treetops with difficulty and successfully take the purple gold fruit.
But later, humans appeared more and more frequently.
Their strength is also growing stronger.
Some even climb towering trees as if they were walking on flat ground.
The number of purple gold fruits picked naturally increased.
As a result, Ruomu, which had originally allowed the outside world to take whatever it wanted, also changed.
Many spirits evolved and were born on the tree, forming a defense system to block those who wanted to take the fruit.
After this, Ruomu finally became quiet for a long time.
But the good times didn’t last long.
When humans returned again, their strength had undergone tremendous changes.
They travel in groups, wear strange costumes, can fly, hide on the ground, and use the energy in the air to fight.
The monsters created by Ruomu are completely vulnerable.
They occupied Ruomu and claimed it as their own.
And they assign special people to guard it, and pick a certain number of fruits every once in a while.
…
"Xuantian Sect?"
The clothing styles of the humans in the picture are very peculiar and easy to identify.
It was extremely similar to the one on the remains of the Xuantian Sect's Dharma King that Li Fan had seen in Senior Sister Zhao's illusion before.
The Xuantian Sect ruled this place for a long time.
When the picture changed again, the people who appeared on [Ruomu] were the cultivators from the Ten Immortal Sects.
"The fruit of immortality?"
Li Fan glanced at the piece of dead wood on the table and his heart moved.
After pondering for a long time, he recalled it again.
During the period when the ten immortal sects occupied Ruomu, the production of purple-gold fruits on the top of Ruomu gradually became scarce for some unknown reason.
It seemed that those who came to pick the fruits were all monks from different sects.
I don't know how much time has passed since then...
On this day, dozens of monks exuding a powerful aura suddenly broke in.
After easily killing the guarding monk, they did not directly plunder the purple gold fruit.
Instead, he looked at Ruomu in front of him, wondering what they were discussing.
It seemed that the argument was extremely intense.
But in the end, a consensus was reached.
The next scene made Li Fan's pupils shrink suddenly.
They set up a huge magic circle and trapped Ruomu inside.
Black chains, like long needles, pierced into various parts of the trees.
Afterwards, a steady stream of life energy was drawn out from it and gathered into a green ball of light in the air.
