“Friend Xiao! Friend Xiao!”
Voices calling echoed in Li Fan’s ears, and he paused for a moment, realizing they were calling for him.
On one hand, it was because he was still unfamiliar with the name of his clone.
On the other hand, he was just pondering the advice given by Immortal Sage Jicheng.
Undoubtedly, Immortal Sage Jicheng’s insight far exceeded Li Fan’s current level.
His insightful guidance was indeed worth careful consideration.
Originally, Li Fan intended to derive the “Sitting Mountain Technique” to the Nascent Soul realm using the Pearl of Derivation.
Because the original “Sitting Mountain Technique” was only a Golden Core cultivation method, and now that Li Fan had cultivated to the Golden Core realm, advancing further would render it unable to be cultivated.
However, the characteristics of the “Sitting Mountain Technique” were extremely suitable for Li Fan, and he was reluctant to give it up.
But Immortal Sage Jicheng’s words did awaken Li Fan.
For him now, Nascent Soul cultivation methods were truly tasteless but a pity to discard.
Anyway, for a considerable amount of time in the future, the “Sitting Mountain Technique” would still be his main cultivation method.
And he had the ability of 【Truth】to start anew. In this life, he could inquire about the origin of the Heavenly Feather Pill from Han Yi’s mouth, and in the next life, seize the opportunity and replace him.
Then, he would directly derive the Dao Integration version of the “Sitting Mountain Technique.”
“Try to let the Pearl of Derivation derive those techniques with special effects,” Li Fan thought, and several plans flashed through his mind in an instant.
“Specifically, I’ll make plans after seeing the Pearl of Derivation.”
“The only thing that makes people doubtful is why would Immortal Sage Jicheng give me guidance?”
“Is it because a dying person tends to speak kindly, or is it just because I recognized that Qingyun Willow?”
“The ‘Heavenly Doctor’s Scriptures’ clearly state that this kind of willow tree is very common. It is distributed in almost every province. Being able to recognize it shouldn’t be a very special thing.”
For these strong individuals standing at the top of the food chain in the Xuanhuang Realm, Li Fan had always been reluctant to speculate on them with the worst intentions.
“The likelihood of doing good for no reason is very small. Perhaps there was a mistake somewhere…”
In the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan’s main body suddenly opened his eyes, searching for information about the “Qingyun Willow.”
After a moment, his expression became somewhat strange.
Then, he successively searched for the information about the “Ink Ancient Bamboo,” “Green Wilderness Wood,” “Imperceptible Flower,” “Hundred Spirit Eagle,” “Nine Refinements Deer,” and hundreds of other plants and creatures recorded in the ‘Heavenly Doctor’s Scriptures.’
As a result, Li Fan couldn’t help but feel somewhat amused and bemused.
Originally, whether due to the passage of time or the natural evolution of species, or for some other reason.
In any case, many of the plants and animals that were originally very common according to the “Heavenly Doctor’s Scriptures” have become scarce in today’s era.
Just like the Qingyun Willow planted by Immortal Sage Jicheng, it is now only sparsely distributed in certain areas of Luoyan Province.
And as far as Li Fan knows, Immortal Sage Jicheng is from the rugged land of Luoyan Province.
“Perhaps it is for this reason that Immortal Sage Jicheng took some care of the clone?”
“After all, the older one gets, the more nostalgic they become, which is human nature.”
…
Various thoughts, seemingly complicated, actually only took a moment.
Inside Tianquan City, within the Tianji Palace, Ximen Yuerao looked at Li Fan with interest and then asked, “Friend Xiao seemed a little distracted just now? What were you thinking about?”
Not long ago, after they left the small courtyard where Immortal Sage Jicheng was located, the blue-robed cultivator brought them to this garden, letting them wait here.
Later, someone would come to lead them to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
The garden was not large, but it had flowing streams and artificial hills.
Looking around, the scenery in the garden gradually changed from spring to summer, autumn, and winter.
Growth, lushness, withering, death, the four different scenes appeared in one painting.
Quite miraculous.
Li Fan stood by the stream, looking at the fantastical scene of the interwoven four seasons before him, with his hands behind his back, and slowly said, “I don’t mind telling you both. I was just pondering a question.”
“What?” Ximen Yue paused.
“Where exactly is the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?” Li Fan turned around, his gaze piercing as he stared at Ximen Yue.
“The headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance? Of course, it’s…” Ximen Yue smiled knowingly, about to say something, but suddenly his expression froze, and his words stopped.
“It’s…” His brows furrowed, pondering for a long time, but still couldn’t come up with an answer.
At this moment, Han Yi interjected, “Tianyu, Tianchen, Tianshu, Tianquan, these four states are the core territories of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. It is likely that the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is located at the junction of these four states.”
“Brother Han’s speculation is very reasonable, but…”
Li Fan shook his head, smiling, “I have traveled around Tianyu Province for a while. I also tried to pass through the Elemental Qi Devouring Mist Barrier at the border of the province.”
“It seems that these four states are closely adjacent, and there shouldn’t be anything else in between.”
“Of course, maybe it’s because of my low strength that I can’t recognize it even if we meet.” Li Fan didn’t insist on his words.
Han Yi, upon hearing this, showed a look of surprise: “Oh? Is that so?”
Ximen Yue then said, “Within our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance territory, there are countless subworlds. It is very likely that the headquarters is established in one of the small worlds within these four states.”
Li Fan listened, smiled faintly, neither affirming nor denying it.
In his heart, he thought leisurely, “Everyone knows that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has a headquarters. However, where exactly this headquarters is located, very few people know.”
“It’s truly mysterious. Having the opportunity to find out is indeed fortunate.”
Han Yi snapped open his fan, somewhat disdainful of Li Fan’s preoccupation with this question: “Why bother worrying about it? We’ll know when we go there ourselves later.”
“That’s not necessarily true.” Li Fan thought so in his heart, but nodded with a smile, without arguing.
Instead, he started teasing Han Yi: “Speaking of which, when I found the Longevity Fruit in the Falling Immortal Realm before, I thought I could at least get second place in this Immortal Sage’s reward. I didn’t expect that there are always stronger contenders out there.”
Li Fan shook his head, admiringly looking at Han Yi: “Friend Ximen Yue possessing a Longevity Fruit for five hundred years is already unimaginably precious.”
“I didn’t expect that Friend Han would actually find a treasure that can extend life for eight hundred years, truly…”
Ximen Yue was also curious at this moment, asking on behalf of Li Fan, “Regarding the Heavenly Feather Pill, Friend, where did you find it?”
“Is it related to the Immortal Sage Lan Yu from Yuandao Province?”
Li Fan also stared at Han Yi eagerly, very much looking forward to his answer.
Being looked at with envy by the two people beside him, Han Yi couldn’t help but feel a bit lofty.
With a smirk, he elegantly waved his fan and said, “It’s nothing much. Since the treasure pill has already been handed over, there’s no harm in telling you both now.”
“Have you ever heard of the Blue Feather Treasure Box?”
Han Yi’s voice carried a hint of pride as he slowly asked.
“Blue Feather Treasure Box?” Ximen Yue repeated, his eyes somewhat bewildered.
Li Fan, on the other hand, seemed pensive.
However, he didn’t speak, but instead shook his head, watching Han Yi’s performance.
