Chapter 482: Chapter 454: Trivial Matters Going Awry
From looking at what happened in Li Fan’s previous lives, in the Crimson Blaze Ocean incident, any cultivator who tried to follow the Unity-Path of Crimson Flame inevitably met with death.
Mo Sha with his Doomsday Heavenly Decree was terrifying indeed.
Newly Unity-Path cultivators had no power to resist in front of him.
“Tianyang, my junior brother, in terms of actual combat strength, might not even match Zhang Zhiliang from my last life, so I won’t send him to die.”
“The Puppet Body is different from mortals. It’s not necessarily the only way to improve combat power by breaking through the realm.”
“Although the cost is high, after the Misthaven Ocean collapses and I escape with the money, it will certainly be more than enough.”
After some thought, Li Fan finally decided to abandon his plan of allowing Tianyang to take the risk of trying the Unity-Path. Instead, he focused on observing and protecting Tianyang’s cultivation.
Fifteen days later.
With all the materials in the [Elemental Reversal Array] consumed, Tianyang completed his final transformation.
The Puppet Body was perfectly repaired, and its realm was stabilized at the peak of God Transformation.
“When the junior brother Tianyang fights, he relies mostly on his brute strength. Some additional training is needed.”
Having completed his cultivation and having nothing else to do, Tianyang quietly stood up and followed behind Li Fan.
Li Fan took out the clothes he had prepared in advance from his Storage Ring and helped Tianyang dress.
At the same time, he imparted the [One-Handed Sky Shrouding Technique] to him.
“Junior brother, next, you will learn this secret technique. Once your cultivation is successful, you will be able to follow me and take actions together.” Li Fan instructed.
Tianyang nodded in silence, and started to seriously study the technique.
With only some instinct remaining, the secret technique of the Heavenly Machine Sect was somewhat complex for Tianyang. Fortunately, with Li Fan’s careful guidance and his undivided attention, he would eventually master it after a slow and meticulous study.
Whilst Tianyang, under the guidance of Li Fan, was diligently improving himself.
Li Fan’s attention was focused on Spirit Mist Island.
He made a brief trip to Spirit Mist Island, silently targeted the Island Guard using the Formless Killing Machine.
Then he returned to the Tianxuan Mirror, began quietly purchasing Spirit Mist Grass, and patiently waited.
Soon, it was the day when the Exotic Dragon Whale attacked Spirit Mist Island in his previous life per his recollection.
However, for some unknown reason, right up until sunset, the Dragon Whale had not appeared.
Li Fan suddenly had a bad feeling.
Just as he feared, another three days passed, and Spirit Mist Island remained intact.
Li Fan finally confirmed that he arrived nearly a year early in the Xuanhuang World. The corresponding changes were inevitable.
Without any rash actions, Li Fan firstly carefully investigated the disappearance of the Exotic Dragon Whale.
A beast of this caliber, comparable in strength to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, vaguely exhibiting its own Spirit Wisdom, and constantly becoming more powerful by devouring various things, couldn’t possibly just vanish without a trace.
After searching for most of the day, he found nothing.
Eventually, by issuing an anonymous reward task, Li Fan finally got an answer.
Apparently, the Exotic Dragon Whale had been killed by a Gold Core Refining Tool Master named Yue Zaisen not long ago.
All the valuable materials from its body had been completely taken away by him.
The other party further asked if there is a need for any specific part, they could offer it at a low price.
Li Fan casually asked and bought a few pieces of Whale Bone with cash.
After the transaction was completed, Li Fan started chatting with the other party casually, trying to find out the reason for his deviation from the events of his previous lives.
It was not a secret, Yue Zaisen, without any guard up, quickly revealed the information to Li Fan.
Initially, the reason why he decided to go to the depths of the Misthaven Ocean to search for materials on a whim.
Was all because of a friend named Mu Rong who asked him to make a high-quality Magic Tool for defense.
As for why Mu Rong would suddenly develop such a Fancy for a defense Magic Tool, Yue Zaisen didn’t ask.
“Mu Rong…” Li Fan ended the communication and his expression changed.
This name was not unfamiliar to him.
In fact, he had even interacted with him before.
This man was Chen Ying’s assistant. In the previous life, before Chen Ying went to the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven, he even left his contact information with Li Fan.
If Li Fan had any questions, he could directly contact him.
“Could it be that he saw Chen Ying buy a lot of life-saving Magic Treasures and developed a sense of crisis? Is that why he did this?”
“Or maybe Chen Ying told him something…”
Li Fan had a feeling of helplessness in his heart.
In any case, the Dragon Whale did not attack Spirit Mist Island. If he wanted to correct history back to the predetermined trajectory, Li Fan had to act personally.
“The risk is not small, and I need to act without leaving any trace.” Without rushing, Li Fan first carefully planned in his mind.
“Do I impersonate an exotic beast and attack? Or do I use the power of the Five Elder Club?”
“Both possibilities entail a high risk of exposure.”
“Maybe, I don’t necessarily have to stick to Spirit Mist Grass. As long as the requirements for a stable supply and growth in certain special region are met, any medicinal plant or spiritual plant will do.”
“First, let’s see if there is any similar presence.”
A thought crossed Li Fan’s mind, and he started looking carefully in the Tianxuan Mirror.
There were many targets that met the conditions, and Li Fan imposed restrictions and check the recent abnormal fluctuation in prices.
Now there were only a few that met the requirements.
Li Fan examined each one carefully, eventually setting his sights on a magical plant called [Leaves of Universal Benevolence].
This herb, with a long growth cycle, is not greatly in demand.
The main use is to produce a talisman called [Sage’s Insight into Truth].
In the era before the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array came out, the spies of the Five Elders Club are everywhere.
Most were like Zhou Qingang, who possessed secret techniques that could change their appearance and could even deceive the examination of the White jade Heart-Asking Platform.
When the Wisdom Discerning True Charm was first invented hundreds of years ago, it made great achievements.
Uncovered quite a few spies from the Fifth Elder Club.
Therefore, it has also left a customary rule that before entering certain crucial locations in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, one must first pass the verification of the Wisdom Discerning True Charm.
Even though the Fifth Elder Club later learned from its mistakes and improved the way their spies concealed themselves.
The Wisdom Discerning True Charm no longer played a role.
However, using the Wisdom Discerning True Charm has become a habit.
The people of the Fifth Elder Club, naturally, would not openly announce that the Wisdom Discerning True Charm had lost its effectiveness.
No one in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals has suggested to withdraw the Wisdom Discerning True Charm either.
Additionally, the production and manufacture of the Wisdom Discerning True Charm behind had formed a chain of interests.
Due to a variety of reasons, it led to the current situation where the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals still needed a large number of Leaves of Universal Benevolence every year.
And for some reason, the normally stable price of Leaves of Universal Benevolence recently began to drop abnormally.
Li Fan slightly frowned.
He seemed to remember from his previous life, as the price of Spirit Mist Grass soared, it drove up the prices of other spiritual plants and herbs in the market.
The price of this Leaves of Universal Benevolence, however, was an exception.
