Inside the Tianxuan Mirror.
Li Fan sat in a daze, his gaze unfocused.
He had already known that the items and knowledge acquired from the Fallen Immortal Realm could only be brought back by fulfilling his past wishes.
However, when he returned to the real world and could not remember a single word or phrase from “The Creation and Transformation Furnace Technique” given to him by Mr. Bai, it greatly upset Li Fan’s calm demeanor.
Once having been the vast ocean hard to be water.
Due to his firsthand experience of the profound mysteries of supreme Taoist techniques, Li Fan found it painfully difficult to accept the poor techniques he had created himself.
The gap was too large, like stars in the heavens and plants on the ground.
This sharp contrast led to a certain imbalance in Li Fan’s spirit.
Especially the Mountain of Treasure he had once possessed, evaporated like smoke in a blink of an eye, never to be seen again.
Despite Li Fan’s extraordinary determination, he also became somewhat crestfallen.
“Mr. Bai, the Creation Furnace Skill…”
“I can make unlimited attempts, and I’m sure I’ll be able to bring this true skill back one day.”
After some time, Li Fan took a deep breath to repress the negative emotions creeping up on him.
According to the experience with the Ningyuan Life Fruit, to take an item out of that world, one must fulfil the obsession of its owner.
What would be Mr. Bai’s obsession?
As far as Li Fan was concerned at present, Mr. Bai remained too mysterious. He could only continue to explore over time.
With a slight sense, the next time he could enter the Fallen Immortal Realm was about half a year from now.
Unfortunately, the usual time restriction was slightly longer. Sighing lightly, Li Fan made a mental note of it.
At this moment, Li Fan checked his Communication Talisman and noticed a message from Chen Ying.
It said that he had already made his way to the destination and was fully prepared.
If he could make it through this adversity alive, he would definitely find a way to repay Li Fan.
Li Fan chuckled, thinking that if that was the case, it could indeed be promoted as an inspiring story.
“However, the Celestial Spirit State War is not set to occur for another 16 years. Before that, the focus should still be on the Spirit Mist Grass incident.”
“Without the explicit declaration from the Tianxuan Mirror, the Five Elders Organization may not risk a major operation into the unknown cavern.’
“Besides, without Jiao Xiuyuan’s instigation, the Spirit Mist Grass incident is unlikely to spread as far as it did in the previous life.”
Li Fan pondered carefully for a moment and decided to go to Jiao Xiuyuan first.
Without hiding his identity, dressed as a Heavenly Machine Sect cultivator, Li Fan arrived outside the Thousand Miles Hall.
It was just as deserted as ever.
Jiao Xiuyuan lounged lazily on a long chair, his eyes slightly closed, seemingly taking a nap.
Hearing footsteps, he abruptly stood up and adjusted his expression.
“Oh, I have a visitor!”
Jiao Xiuyuan stared at Li Fan in a slight daze, then greeted him warmly without skipping a beat.
Li Fan also said nothing about what he wanted to buy, but narrowed his eyes and stared at Jiao Xiuyuan.
The two of them stared at each other in silence.
After a while, Li Fan was the first to salute, “Brother Dao’s puppet technique is extraordinary, it’s truly remarkable!”
“Even in ancient times, this would be a rare divine technique!”
Surprised that his technique had been revealed by a first-time acquaintance, Jiao Xiuyuan was a bit stunned.
However, he hid his emotions well and responded immediately, “Exploring destiny, trawling cause and effect. The Ancient Heavenly Machine Sect is indeed renown!”
“Admiring! Admiring!”
“Long admired! Long admired!”
After exchanging pleasantries, and formally introducing themselves, Jiao Xiuyuan tentatively asked, “I wonder what brings Brother Dao here. Surely you’re not just here to have some fun?”
“Where does Brother Jiao get that idea from? Don’t I look too idle?” Li Fan waved it off. “I’m here of course, because of ‘money.’”
Jiao Xiuyuan’s eyes lit up: “Oh? I wonder what Brother Dao wants? I have array talisman records, magic tools, elixirs and they’d be cheaper in quantity…
“Do you see that I lack these things?” Li Fan asked with a half-smile.
“So, what do you want?” Jiao Xiuyuan’s face became serious.
“This time, I’m not buying. I am selling!” Li Fan shook his head and said in a deep voice, “As for whether it will be successful, it depends on whether Brother Jiao recognizes the goods.”
“Sell? I don’t buy just anything…” Jiao Xiuyuan was beginning to speak when he paused, seeing what Li Fan had in his hand.
What he saw was an eyeball-like object that looked like a living thing and was staring fiercely at him.
It was such a murderous object that it made him instinctively want to fight back.
Fortunately, he noticed that there was no aggressiveness in this eyeball, so he restrained himself.
“What is this?” Jiao Xiuyuan squinted his eyes and couldn’t help but ask.
Li Fan said with a bit of a sigh, “This is a relic of my senior fellow apprentice back then. Since the man has passed, this thing has been useless to me. Seeing the object, I think of the person and that only increases my sadness. So, I wanted to pass it to someone else who is predestined. Regretfully, the Tianxuan Mirror did not recognize its worth and offered a low price. This is a real insult to my senior fellow apprentice.”
“I had to deduce destiny to find a person worthy of it. That’s how I came to you, Brother Jiao,” Li fan patiently explained.
Li Fan didn’t lie either.
During his time in the Hundred Stone Cave Heaven of the ruins of the Heavenly Machine Sect, besides techniques and classics, Li Fan had made two other acquisitions. One was the eyeball-like object he was holding.
The Tianxuan Mirror identified it as an “Eye of Falsehood Breaking stone”, analogous to a Natural Treasure, an existence that conveys the principle of heaven and earth.
Reportedly, if a cultivator absorbed and refined it, the user would gain the ability to accurately predict the future and debunk falsehoods.
Typically, such treasures would have an exorbitant price tag.
However, the shame was that this “Eye of Falsehood Breaking Stone” had been refined by a cultivator once already.
The pure principle of heaven and earth had been contaminated by the karmic influences of a cultivator.
Furthermore, thousands of years had passed since then and the world had undergone drastic transformations. The power from this principle was greatly different from that of the ancient times.
Under the dual impacts of these two factors, the ability of the Eye of Falsehood Breaking stone to predict the future had been substantially compromised.
With only one success out of ten attempts, one should already count their blessings.
This was why the Tianxuan Mirror only offered a recycling price of 60,000 contribution points.
Although the item held little value for Li Fan who could predict the future while awake, he wasn’t short of 60,000 points either, so he held onto it.
It came in handy at this moment to build a relationship with Jiao Xiuyuan.
“How about it, Brother Jiao, do you recognize this object?” Li Fan intentionally asked.
Jiao Xiuyuan stayed in place for a moment, then chuckled, “How could I not know this thing, it’s merely the Eye of Breaking Delusion.”
He paused for a moment, then said, “To let Brother Dao know, Tianxuan Mirror gave a low price for a reason.”
“Although this object is rare, if Brother Dao wants to get a good price for it, I’m afraid you need to find the right person.”
Li Fan replied, “I naturally understand this. This is also the reason why I came looking for you, Brother Jiao.”
Without any hesitation, he threw the “Eye of Falsehood Breaking Stone” over and said, “I believe that Brother Dao can find a suitable, new owner for it.”
“Please help me with this, brother. Half of the selling proceeds will go to you. How about it?”
Jiao Xiuyuan’s eyes lit up: “I’ll gladly take on this deal!”
