Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health-Chapter 431 - 193: Heaven Nurturing Technique (Part 3)
In other words, he did not fall naturally.
In eight or nine cases out of ten, he was struck dead by a divine tribulation.
The Red-clothed Daoist bowed slightly, his voice gentle, and smiled, "Hello, fellow Daoist. It seems I failed to recognize Mount Tai and actually attempted to possess you. Please do not blame me, I have been waiting here for thousands of years, and when an opportunity finally appeared, I became reckless."
Fan Wubing’s tone was icy, "If it were someone else, you might have actually possessed them."
The Red-clothed Daoist’s smile did not waver, "The body of an ordinary mortal might not be worth my time. It is because your Immortal Path is so clean and clear that it deeply moved me."
Being noticed by a Tribulation Immortal naturally indicates an extraordinary body; in a way, this was a compliment.
The Red-clothed Daoist noticed Fan Wubing’s expression remained serious and paused before saying, "How about this, fellow Daoist? We just met by chance. The treasures you scavenged earlier can be my apology to you, please consider my thousands of years of waiting and let it go."
Fan Wubing’s expression softened, and he laughed heartily, "We’re fellow travelers on the same path, these are all trivial matters, trivial."
The Red-clothed Daoist secretly cursed, you came to steal my treasures, and yet I still have to ask for your understanding, ha! Fellow travelers? If I weren’t uncertain about your strength, I wouldn’t want to make a scene and risk attracting others here...
His heart was bleeding, an entire small world of treasures, even the ground was taken! That was a lifetime’s savings, even the coffins were included!
Damn it, once I find a chance to escape, I’ll settle this score sooner or later!
The Red-clothed Daoist forced a laugh, "Yes, yes, trivial matters, hahaha."
There was something Fan Wubing didn’t understand. That is, how did this Red-clothed Daoist manage to deliver a killing move directly into his Purple Mansion without alerting any deities or ghosts?
Even the Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill couldn’t detect it, it probably had nothing to do with the "flow of Qi" anymore.
If this was an attack that ignored spatial distances, how could he ensure the Red-clothed Daoist wouldn’t use this trick for a sneak attack in the future?
Without clarifying this point, Fan Wubing would not rest easy.
He laughed, "Since we are fellow travelers, how could we not have a good chat?"
The Red-clothed Daoist was taken aback, to have a good chat, do you think I’ll believe that? We are both experienced with tribulations, surely we can interpret words like these, clearly, he still wants to extort me. But the question is, what else does he plan to do? Does he think pillaging my entire small world is insufficient, or perhaps he plans never to let me go?
If it’s the former, one can only call him greedy and unappreciative.
But if it’s the latter... the Red-clothed Daoist felt a chill in his heart, then he must prepare to flee in advance. This kid is extremely strange; the Divine Soul Purple Mansion is as resilient as an iron wall, along with that bizarre Sword Intent that freezes the great path, I have no physical body, and cannot directly confront him.
The two began to chat back and forth aimlessly.
All were non-nutritious topics, like whether staying alone in this small world was hard, or if the outside world was still divided by Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism...
This old fox of unknown age, so cunning, could always easily maneuver through Fan Wubing’s various conversational traps.
After several probes, Fan Wubing understood that trying to gain anything significant through "talk therapy" was essentially impossible.
He might as well grasp his advantage and be straightforward.
He directly asked, "What was the method you just used to attack my Divine Soul?"
The Red-clothed Daoist, reading the situation, using his many years of "Jianghu experience," analyzed slightly and realized what Fan Wubing’s purpose of asking this was.
He confidently assured, "Please don’t worry, fellow Daoist, that method I can only use within the small world, once I leave here, you’ll have no further worries."
"Why should I believe you?"
The Red-clothed Daoist laughed, "If you don’t believe, just sense it a bit after leaving the small world."
Fan Wubing promptly turned around, taking a couple of steps before looking back with a straightforward smile, "Hey, fellow Daoist, you’ve been waiting here for thousands of years, it’s quite lonely. As fellow travelers, how can I bear to see you struggle alone, I’ll stay to keep company for a while."
The Red-clothed Daoist cursed inwardly, keep your mother company!
Fan Wubing smiled coldly, as soon as I leave, you’ll probably flee with the small world overnight until you disappear, right?
The two continued their standoff... oh no, it wasn’t really a standoff.
It was just the Red-clothed Daoist enduring it alone.
Fan Wubing calmly cultivated, absorbing the Qi flow and Dao meaning of the small world. He wasn’t in a hurry.
The Blood Bar grew longer, his path fuller, the Divine Soul more resilient.
He appeared more vigorous. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Only the Red-clothed Daoist suffered.
He could barely hold it any longer and asked, "Fellow Daoist, please be direct, what do you still want?"
Fan Wubing laughed and said, "I already asked earlier. What exactly was the method you used to attack my Divine Soul just now?"
The Red-clothed Daoist helplessly said, "It’s a kind of Divine Technique."
"What Divine Technique?"
"Divine Soul Technique."
"What level?"
Seeing Fan Wubing like this, the Red-clothed Daoist realized he would not rest until he had obtained the technique! Damn dog! Greedy, already looted so much from me and still not satisfied! For this Divine Technique, I came to the Sea of Eternal Life, nearly lost half my life to obtain it, only to be struck dead by a second tribulation.
In summary, for this Divine Technique, I traded my life. You ungrateful brat think you can just open your mouth and take it?
What do you take this Celestial Venerable as? Ungrateful brat, you better not die by someone else’s hand!
The Red-clothed Daoist chuckled dryly, "Fellow Daoist, this technique is an Innate Divine Technique, you won’t be able to cultivate it even if you take it. How about I exchange it for something else? I do have other Divine Techniques."
Fan Wubing’s eyes lit up, Innate Divine Technique?
"I just want this one!"
The Red-clothed Daoist said, "Fellow Daoist, you should know that cultivating an Innate Divine Technique requires the recognition of the corresponding Innate Magical Treasure."
"Don’t you worry about it, just tell me."
Ungrateful brat!
The Red-clothed Daoist gritted his teeth and transmitted the Divine Technique which cost him a life to Fan Wubing. He wanted to transmit an incomplete version to trick this ungrateful brat but alas, an Innate Divine Technique isn’t something man-made that can be divided.
Splitting it can only be done by the Innate Magical Treasure itself.
After acquiring the Divine Technique, a prompt appeared before Fan Wubing —

[Heaven produces all things to nurture men, men, in turn, nurture heaven through their Soul Spirit]
[Type: Innate Divine Technique]
[Grade: Upper Immortal Level]
