Chapter 679: Xuan Family Appoints Guest Official
"It's just a trick. Brother Shuo, your foundation-building magic weapon, the sword, is not good at attacking first, but it is an expert at defense and counterattack. However, this technique of drawing silk imitates birth, aging, sickness and death, and the changes of human beings. It is more like imposing a status than an attack. That's why it did not trigger the counterattack of the sword." After winning the competition, Li Fan did not have any arrogance on his face, but took the initiative to explain for Shuo Feng.
Back in the roots of heaven and earth that gave birth to the Five Elements Cave Heaven, Li Fan had experienced his body, which was woven like thin threads, being constantly extracted.
At that time, I had a vague understanding.
However, it was still far from being able to directly display his magical powers in the real world. Until this time, after taking control of the destiny of the beast world and breaking through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, Li Fan almost became a being like the way of the small world.
The life and death of all things in the world is just a matter of thought.
Li Fan has a new and unique understanding of the composition and collapse of things.
Thus, there came into being this magical power of "silk drawing".
Just as he said to Shuo Feng, strictly speaking, [Drawing Silk] is not an attack-type magical power. Instead, it attaches a tendency to accelerate the disintegration of the target. This is a change of the target itself.
Just like mortals are born, grow old, get sick and die, everything in the world will eventually come to an end and dissipate between heaven and earth. [Spinning] accelerates this process.
In the battle with Shuo Feng, the performance of [Drawing Silk] was the result of Li Fan's full effort. Although its power was terrifying, it actually had a fatal weakness. That was the process of performing [Drawing Silk], which required continuous casting. Once it was disturbed or interrupted by the outside world, the effect would be greatly reduced.
It is only effective against a weirdo like Shuo Feng, who mainly relies on defense and counterattack.
Therefore, the best way to use [Drawing Silk] is not to do it violently and violently like when fighting Shuo Feng. Instead, it is to draw out the "lines" slowly and continuously in the dark, without the target noticing, like moistening things silently.
If the time scale is extended, the target will not have obvious scars on his body like Shuo Feng.
Instead, they will feel inexplicably weak and uncomfortable, but they can never find the reason. In the end, they can only watch their spirit and energy continue to decline and finally die in pain.
This is what is meant by "life is like pulling a thread".
It is really the best way to hurt someone secretly, even better than Wuxiang Killing Intent. Li Fan has always had the habit of keeping something in reserve, so this time in the fight with Shuo Feng, he also hid the true killing form of [Drawing Silk].
"Brother Li originally praised me as a gifted person. I think your comprehension is even better than mine. This move [Drawing Silk] is amazing!" After being defeated by Li Fan, Shuo Feng was not angry at all. Instead, his attitude became more enthusiastic.
The cold murderous intent that flashed by earlier seemed as if it had never appeared.
"Brother Shuo, you are too kind. I just got it by chance while traveling around." Li Fan said with a smile.
"Brother Li, there is no need to be modest! There are countless people who call themselves geniuses in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, but there are very few who can comprehend such magical powers on their own like you!" Shuo Feng patted his body, and in an instant a white light flashed, and he changed his clothes.
Leading the way, Shuo Feng brought Li Fan to a small building on the top of the mountain, and invited him to sit down.
The female cultivator in the yellow skirt left for a while, and then brewed a bowl of spiritual tea for each of them.
The aroma of tea is refreshing.
Shuo Feng said: "Brother Li, I haven't figured out how to break this magical power yet. When I get an idea in the future, I will definitely ask you for advice!"
Li Fan nodded slightly: "Then I'll be waiting."
Shuo Feng laughed loudly and said, "That's great! Brother Li's temperament is really to my liking! He is much better than those guys who are submissive, have no ability but want to curry favor with the powerful!"
Li Fan did not respond, but changed the subject: "Speaking of currying favor with the powerful, I actually have another matter that I would like to trouble Brother Shuo with."
"Oh? What's the matter? Feel free to tell me."
Li Fan then expressed his desire to upgrade his merit level.
"The insufficient level of authority is really annoying. I feel restricted everywhere and feel so uncomfortable!" Li Fan sighed.
After listening to this, Shuo Feng said indifferently: "Humph, it's just a threshold set up by the Immortal Alliance in order to consolidate its own rule. For those who are truly in power, there is no need to climb up step by step and increase their authority level..."
"But since Brother Li has this request, it's easy to do. Zhijin..."
The female cultivator in the yellow skirt responded immediately.
"Are there any vacancies for guest officials recently?" Shuo Feng asked.
"There are still three vacancies this year. But..." Zhijin glanced at Li Fan, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
"Your cultivation level doesn't meet the requirements, right?" Shuo Feng sneered, "It doesn't matter. Special matters are handled specially. Just say it's my appointment. Just go and say hello."
Zhijin nodded slightly, his figure blurred and disappeared from the scene in an instant.
At this time, Shuo Feng explained: "As a guest official of my family, you will have the basic authority of Yan Thirty. There will also be a fixed amount of merits distributed every year."
Li Fan did not show any joy when hearing this. Instead, he frowned and said, "Thank you, Brother Shuo. But I am used to being idle. If..."
Shuo Feng waved his hand: "It's alright. You don't need to do anything, just hold a nominal position. You and I are of the same mind, how can we be the kind of people who are willing to be bound by constraints?"
"But..."
Shuo Feng looked at Li Fan, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes: "If one day I feel like fighting with someone, you can't refuse on purpose!"
Li Fan felt relieved and immediately bowed and said, "Then I would like to thank Brother Shuo first!"
Shuo Feng is indeed the top second generation immortal in the Immortal Alliance. He is extremely efficient.
Before the spiritual tea on the table was finished, Zhijin had already returned.
When a jade talisman in the shape of a snowflake crystal was handed to Li Fan, it indicated that Li Fan's appointment as a guest official had been recorded.
"Brother Li, you can take a look at the effect." Shuo Feng tapped the table with his index finger, and a small Tianxuan mirror appeared in front of Li Fan.
When Li Fan checked his information in the Tianxuan Mirror, he indeed found that he had an additional title of "Xuan Family Guest".
The authority level was exactly as Shuo Feng said, and was directly raised to level 30.
However, it is also stated that this level of authority is tied to the position of a "guest official". Once the title of "guest official" is lost, the level of authority will also disappear.
The individual's merits will be accumulated starting from Yanyi.
The two do not affect each other.
This was within Li Fan's expectations, but he was more concerned about the four words "Xuan family guest".
"Xuan family?" Li Fan looked at Shuo Feng with some confusion.
Shuo Feng did not hide anything and said openly: "My mother's surname is Xuan. As for my name..."
He shrugged, saying, "I don't really know."
Li Fan nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
Today is just one chapter.
