Chapter 136: Fate Changes with Fortune
🕑 Added 2023-11-16 13:35:22 +0000 UTCIn the sea of clouds, on the Tai Yan Boat.
The people who had just entered the cultivation world from Dali were excitedly looking around on the deck.
Meanwhile, Li Fan activated the "Sun Stealing Technique" to observe the fortunes of the people.
Most of them were covered in dust, dull and dim.
However, when Li Fan saw the fat guy, Ye Feipeng, his eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
Because his fortune resembled a newly born white mist, constantly rotating and evolving.
"This kind of fate..."
Li Fan recalled the explanation in the technique.
"Changing with fortune, a hundred changes in life."
It meant that this person's fortune was highly susceptible to external influences.
If they encountered someone influential who supported them, it was highly possible that their life would indeed soar to great heights, just like their name, soaring with the wind and rising straight up.
However, if they encountered a great villain, and at that time, their own fortune was still relatively fragile, they might not withstand the calamity and meet a tragic end.
For example, in the previous life, he sensed the shady figure of Li Fan and attempted extortion. As a result, he was directly stabbed to death with a dagger by Li Fan.
But if the extortionist wasn't as decisive and got entangled with Li Fan.
Then, with the ebb and flow of fortune, he might soar to great heights and become unstoppable.
Li Fan was willing to describe such a person in eight words: "Prosper with the wind, perish against the tide."
Among the people from Dali, besides Ye Feipeng, only Xiao Heng and Su Xiaomei had somewhat peculiar fortunes.
Su Xiaomei's fate was the intertwining of purple and black, indistinguishable from each other.
As for Xiao Heng, it was the image of a hidden dragon in the abyss.
Any one of these three would be extremely rare even in the ancient cultivation world. Typically, a large region would produce one every ten years.
But now, in this small Dali, they emerged together.
This made Li Fan unable to help but ponder.
"Perhaps it's related to the volcano in Dali."
...
Under the pressure of death, Xiao Heng couldn't sleep at night. Faster than the previous life, he only took eight or nine days to expel all the Immortal-Mortal Miasma from his body.
After entering the cultivation world, in just one day and one night, he successfully guided the qi into his body and entered the Qi Condensation stage.
Su Xiaomei's progress was even more outrageous. The moment Tai Yan Boat broke through the Immortal Extinction Formation and entered the cultivation world, the spiritual energy in the world spontaneously surged towards her.
Her body, like it had been hungry for a long time, indiscriminately absorbed all the spiritual energy.
Up until now, this process was still ongoing.
Watching these two progress so quickly, Su Changyu couldn't help but feel a bit envious.
However, he didn't lose his composure. Instead, he became even more diligent in cultivating the "Cleansing Heart Mantra" that Li Fan had passed down to him.
He worked hard, forgetting to eat and sleep, much like Li Fan when he first met him on Liuli Island.
Li Fan nodded silently after seeing this.
...
The Tai Yan Boat skimmed above the sea, flying quickly.
All around was an endless ocean, and the monotonous, repetitive scenery quickly robbed the people from Dali of their sense of novelty.
They returned to the cabin to rest.
After studying array formations for more than two years, Li Fan tried his hand at setting up a "Silent Concealment Formation" outside the Tai Yan Boat.
This was the most basic small-scale concealment formation, but its effect was quite good, capable of hiding both sound and form.
Throughout the journey, they were not discovered by anyone. Li Fan, leading a group of people, smoothly returned to Night Island.
After informing everyone of the various methods to remove Immortal-Mortal Miasma, Li Fan let Yin Yueting take charge of the arrangements.
Then, he inquired about the future plans of Su Xiaomei and the others.
Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng both said they would wait for Su Changyu to successfully guide qi into his body before going to Ten Thousand Immortals Island together.
Li Fan didn't force them and simply went to Ten Thousand Immortals Island to exchange for two Qi Condensation stage cultivation techniques.
One was, of course, for Xiao Heng, the "Minor Yan Water Technique."
In addition, he prepared another technique for Su Xiaomei called the "Heart Flame Technique."
Xiao Heng carefully took the jade slip and respectfully kowtowed to Li Fan.
Su Xiaomei, on the other hand, was not so reserved. Taking the jade slip, she happily grinned and said, "Thank you, Master," repeatedly.
Li Fan ignored her and let her speak as she pleased.
"While waiting for Su Changyu on Night Island, you can't just idle away your time," Li Fan instructed. "Work with Zhao Erbao to collect ancient artifacts for me. I have important uses for them."
Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng nodded in agreement.
"Cultivation is challenging, and I can only guide you to the entrance. Your achievements in the future will depend on your own fortunes."
After saying this, Li Fan left them with a Communication Talisman and sent them away.
"Xiao Heng and Su Xiaomei both have extraordinary fortunes. With their assistance, the process of collecting ancient artifacts with Dao resonance should speed up significantly. I hope to complete the collection before Crimson Flame burns the sea," Li Fan thought.
That night, using the Cloud Water Illusory Dream Art, Li Fan deepened Zhao Erbao's painful memories as a warning.
Afterward, Li Fan hurriedly returned to Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
This was because he received a message from Gong Boyu.
He Zhenghao's legacy, the "Hundred Veins Formation Diagram," had been completely restored.
Unexpectedly, the other party acted so quickly. Li Fan wasted no time and arrived outside the Formation Hall.
Gong Boyu had already sent someone to meet him here.
Entering the metallic cube-like building once again, this time, they arrived at a large conference room.
Inside, besides Gong Boyu, there were six other cultivators.
They all looked to be in their forties or fifties, and their auras were unfathomable, indicating that their cultivations were not weak.
Gong Boyu welcomed Li Fan to his side, saying with joy, "Thanks to the joint efforts of these old friends, brainstorming and sharing ideas, we spent quite some time finally completing He Zhenghao's legacy. It's truly something to be happy about!"
Li Fan nodded, "If Daoist He's spirit exists beyond death, he would surely be very pleased."
Gong Boyu took out a square jade block from his pocket and handed it to Li Fan.
Holding the unfamiliar jade block in his hand, Li Fan carefully examined it.
The eight corners of the jade block were replaced with different colored metals, and the overall surface was engraved with intricate and profound patterns.
Threads of golden light flowed like a river between the patterns.
"This is our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's encrypted jade slip. After its creation, each encrypted jade slip can only be viewed by specific cultivators. If someone else forcefully tries to read it, it will trigger a preset self-destructive prohibition."
"This one is prepared for you, and it contains the completed 'Hundred Veins Formation Diagram,'" Gong Boyu explained.
Li Fan nodded and, with a thought, began examining the contents of the jade slip with his spiritual sense.
Various mountainous terrains appeared in Li Fan's mind in an instant.
Upon closer inspection, every bit of soil and every piece of gravel on those mountains were actually miniature arrays.
Stacked under countless tiny arrays, they formed a complete mountain, a mountain-shaped grand array.
The colossal amount of information contained in it made Li Fan involuntarily inhale a cold breath.
This was not something a Qi Condensation cultivator could casually comprehend.
