Underground caves are pitch black.
Li Fan has been staying here for three whole days.
The 'Swallowing Heaven Demon Skill' is truly an ancient demon skill, even if it is only a Qi Refining chapter, the cultivation speed is astonishingly fast. With the addition of the Purple Gold Magic Vein and the terrifying bonus of Level 10 Magic Assets, within three days, he has successfully infused Qi into his body and officially entered the early stage of the day after tomorrow.
Although it is only the early stage of the day after tomorrow, the purity of his demonic energy in his body far exceeds that of his peers, even comparable to the later stage of the day after tomorrow! The trace of purple gold colored demonic aura flowed through the meridians, carrying a domineering and noble aura.
Under the dual effects of martial arts and elixirs, the injuries were fully healed.
Just a broken rib requires time to heal, and there is still some pain during movement.
Huh
Li Fan exhaled a mouthful of turbid qi and slowly collected his energy.
The thin spiritual energy inside the cave was almost absorbed by him, and his cultivation speed slowed down significantly.
We need to find a way out, find a place with a stronger spiritual energy, or... get some spiritual stones, "Li Fan pondered as he touched his chin.
The system mall does have spirit stones for sale, and the cheapest lower grade spirit stones are also priced at 10 points per B value piece. He currently has 704 points for installing B value (repaying the loan principal and interest of 22 points), which may seem like a lot, but the subsequent techniques of "Swallowing the Heavenly Demon Technique" are outrageously expensive. After the Qi Refining chapter, there is the Foundation Building chapter, which directly costs 3000 points! Not to mention other good things.
Installing a B value is never enough to spend.
Let's first see what can be drawn from the Golden Lottery, "Li Fan muttered to himself." System, use the Golden Lottery
Ding! Spend gold lottery x 1, start the lottery
The golden wheel appeared.
Congratulations to the host for obtaining: [ Boundary Breaking Pill × 1 ]
Item Description: This is a low-level pill that can help cultivators in the afterlife realm break through a small realm without any side effects (only for use in the afterlife realm)
Li Fan's eyes lit up.
Good thing!
He is currently in the early stage of the day after tomorrow, and after taking it, he can directly reach the middle stage of the day after tomorrow. Although it is only a small realm, every improvement in strength is crucial during the escape.
He didn't hesitate and swallowed the pill directly.
The elixir enters the abdomen, transforming into a surging medicinal power that blends into the limbs and bones. The purple gold magic energy inside the body surged like flames injected with fuel!
The meridians were slightly swollen and painful, but the Purple Gold Magic Meridian had a much greater tolerance than imagined, easily accommodating the surging demonic energy.
After a moment, the breath stabilized.
Mid day after tomorrow!
Feeling a noticeable surge of demonic energy within his body, Li Fan nodded in satisfaction. With the ever-changing physical and divine movements of the Purple Gold Demon Vein, he now has the confidence to face the challenges of the day after tomorrow and even... win the battle.
It's time to leave, "Li Fan stood up, flexed his muscles, and picked up the black iron heavy sword leaning against the stone wall.
The cave is deep, and he cautiously explores deeper along the direction of the water flow.
After about a stick of incense has passed, there is a faint light ahead, and... a faint voice?
Li Fan immediately stopped in his tracks, held his breath and focused, restrained his breath, and quietly approached.
Turning a corner, my eyes suddenly opened up.
At the end of the cave, there is a huge natural grotto with a high hanging dome and several cracks that allow sunlight to penetrate. In the center of the grotto, there is a clear pool of water, with a faint white mist on the surface, and its spiritual energy is several times stronger than outside.
And by the edge of the pond, there were actually people.
A young girl wearing a moon white long dress, with her back to Li Fan, crouched by the pool, seemingly cleaning something.
She has a slender figure and long hair like a waterfall, only partially tied up with a simple jade hairpin. Even just a silhouette, it exudes a refined and otherworldly temperament, which is out of place with this dark and damp cave.
What made Li Fan even more frightened was that he couldn't feel the breath of this girl at all!
Either his cultivation level is far higher than his, or he carries a precious treasure and can hide it perfectly.
Either way, it is by no means ordinary.
Li Fan was alert in his heart and was about to quietly retreat, change direction and leave.
However——
Since you're here, why hide
The cold and refreshing sound suddenly rang out.
The girl turned around.
Li Fan's breath paused slightly.
That is a delicate and almost perfect face, with skin as delicate as snow, eyebrows and eyes as picturesque as a painting, especially a pair of clear and transparent eyes, as if they can reflect people's hearts. However, her complexion was too pale, and her lips were almost devoid of color. There was a lingering aura of illness lingering between her eyebrows, making her look somewhat fragile.
But her gaze was calm and profound, with a detachment that was not commensurate with her age.
At this moment, these eyes were quietly looking in the direction where Li Fan was hiding.
Discovered.
Li Fan sighed inwardly, knowing that he couldn't escape, so he walked out boldly.
The girl has a keen perception. "He clasped his fists and quickly scanned her body, but did not find any obvious sect logo. His clothing style was also not like the common demon cultivators in the Broken God Continent." I am under Li Fan, and I unintentionally entered. Please forgive me
The girl looked at Li Fan, her gaze lingering for a moment on his tattered and blood stained clothes and the black iron heavy sword in his hand, before finally landing on his face.
A defected disciple of the Purgatory Sect? "She suddenly spoke in a calm tone.
Li Fan's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged: "Why did the girl say such a thing
You have the mark of a miscellaneous servant of the Purgatory Sect on your clothes, although it is worn out, it can still be recognized, "the girl pointed to the almost worn skull embroidery on Li Fan's sleeve
The analysis is well-organized and to the point.
Li Fan was even more vigilant in his heart. This girl was not only sharp, but also had extraordinary knowledge.
Miss Mingjian, "he neither denied nor admitted, but instead asked," I don't know what Miss is here for
Picking herbs. "The girl spoke succinctly, pointing to several blue grasses emitting faint fluorescence by the edge of the pond." Cold Pond Orchid, a third grade spirit grass, only grows by the extremely gloomy cold pond
Li Fan glanced at those few small grasses, which were indeed full of vitality. But what he cares more is, why is this girl picking herbs alone? Moreover, judging from her complexion, it seems that she is seriously ill.
Miss seems to be... unwell? "Li Fan asked tentatively.
The girl fell silent for a moment, coughed lightly twice, and a slight abnormal flush appeared on her pale face.
It's just an old illness. "Her tone remained calm, but Li Fan sensed a hint of imperceptible exhaustion.
At this moment, the system's prompt sound suddenly sounded in Li Fan's mind:
Ding! Detected a special target
Target Name: Su Youyue (pseudonym)
Target state: The poison of the 'Nine Yin Absolute Meridian' in the body has penetrated deep into the bone marrow and meridians. It attacks on the night of the full moon every month, causing unbearable pain and continuously eroding vitality. Remaining lifespan: about three years
Target background:??? (Insufficient permissions, unable to view)
Target cultivation: (suppressed by toxicity, currently manifested as a mortal)
Special Reminder: The poison of Jiuyin Juemai requires the use of 'Jiuyang Huanhun Grass' as the main medicine, combined with various rare spiritual materials to refine the' Jiuyang Nirvana Pill 'in order to cure it. Jiuyang Huanhun Grass is a sixth grade divine medicine with strict growth conditions and is rare in the world
Li Fan's heart was shaken.
Jiuyin Juemai? It sounds quite deadly. Only three years left in life? This girl looks only sixteen or seventeen years old
And the system can't fully see through her background? Insufficient permissions? This system claims to be the 'strongest B-system in the world'!
This Su Muyue has an absolutely terrifying origin.
Just as Li Fan's heart was filled with suspicion, Su Suiyue coughed a few more times, this time even more violently. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and when she took it away, Li Fan saw a faint red bloodstain with sharp eyes.
She didn't seem to care, put away her handkerchief, and began carefully picking the few cold pond orchids.
Her movements were gentle and skillful, but Li Fan could tell that every time she bent down, her eyebrows would slightly furrow, as if enduring pain.
A girl with a terminal illness and a mysterious background, collecting herbs alone in this dangerous forest
Li Fan's heart was inexplicably touched.
Perhaps it's empathy for the same illness? They are all people who have been led to a dead end by fate B.
Perhaps it was... her resilience under her calm gaze that made him somewhat admire her.
Miss, "Li Fan suddenly spoke up," the poison you have taken is the Nine Yin Juemai, right
The picking action of Su Zuyue suddenly paused.
She slowly straightened up, turned around, and looked at Li Fan for the first time with a look of obvious emotion - surprise and a hint of sharpness.
How do you know
Jiuyin Juemai is a rare and peculiar poison, and few people know about it. She disguised herself as a mortal, and even many high-level cultivators couldn't see the clues. How could this young man, who was only in the middle of the day after tomorrow, see through it at a glance?
Li Fan cannot say what the system tells him.
His mind was racing, and a mysterious expression appeared on his face (he began to pretend to be B): 'I once stumbled upon some remnants of ancient medical texts and conducted some research on the strange poisons of the world.'. The girl's complexion is pale with a hint of bluish black, her breath is cold and stagnant, her cough is accompanied by dark red blood streaks, and she is afraid of cold and likes yin... These are typical symptoms of the nine yin meridians penetrating deep into the bone marrow. "
This rhetoric is half true and half false, combined with the information provided by the system, it sounds like that.
The sharpness in Su Muyue's eyes slightly subsided, but her doubts grew even stronger: "Ancient medical scriptures... how did you get it as a miscellaneous worker of the Purgatory Sect
It's just a coincidence, "Li Fan mumbled, turning the conversation around." The girl is picking Cold Pond Orchids here to refine the 'Xuanyin Zhenhun Pill' to suppress the pain during toxic attacks, right? Cold Pond Orchids are extremely yin cold, and can temporarily neutralize some of the Yin toxins in the Nine Yin meridians, relieving pain. However, treating the symptoms is not the root cause, and using them too much can actually exacerbate the accumulation of cold toxins
Su Zuyue remained silent.
Li Fan said the score is not bad at all.
She is indeed refining the Xuanyin Zhenhun Pill. This prescription was a way for her family to find relief at a huge cost, but it was unexpectedly revealed by a stranger boy.
You know quite a bit, "Su Youyue's voice couldn't distinguish between joy and anger." In your opinion, how should we address the root cause
That's what Li Fan and others said.
He stood with his hands down (although his clothes were tattered, he had enough momentum), looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle (although his head was rocky), and said in a low and confident tone:
Nine Yin blocks the meridians, a poison that ranges from Yin to Cold. To cure it, one needs a divine medicine that ranges from Yang to Gang, reversing Yin and Yang, and reshaping the meridians
Jiuyang Resurrection Grass, a sixth grade divine medicine, is born in the land of extreme yang. It has been formed for a thousand years and matured for ten thousand years. Using this as the main medicine, supplemented with 9981 yang attribute spiritual materials such as Lieyang Fruit, Chiyan Essence Gold, and Geocentric Fire Lotus, the 'Jiuyang Nirvana Pill' is refined. After taking it, one can be reborn and not only eliminate toxicity, but also transform into a 'Jiuyang Spirit Body', achieving twice the result with half the effort in practicing yang attribute skills
He finished speaking in one breath and then looked at Su Muyue, 'Am I right?'
Su Muyue was completely stunned.
The prescription of the Nine Yang Nirvana Pill is one of the highest secrets of her family! No more than five members of the entire family know the complete prescription! How could this young man know so thoroughly?!
Who the hell is he?!
Watching the shock and disbelief in Su Suiyue's eyes, Li Fan felt a sense of relief in his heart.
Installing B value is not in vain! Just now, he spent 10 points to install a B value and had the system extract the "Detailed Explanation of the Nine Yin Absolute Meridian and Nine Yang Nirvana Pill" from the database!
Although the flesh hurts, the effect is significant.
Who exactly are you? "Su Youyue's voice finally carried a hint of fluctuation.
Just a passerby who happens to know some secrets, "Li Fan smiled faintly." Miss, don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions towards you, on the contrary
He paused for a moment and looked seriously at Su Muyue:
Perhaps I can help you find the Nine Yang Resurrection Grass
Su Muyue's pupils shrank.
Do you know where the Nine Yang Resurrection Grass is
I don't know for now, "Li Fan said frankly," but I have a way to know
He certainly has a solution - there is a 'Nine Yang Resurrection Grass' available for sale in the system mall, priced at 100000 points with a B value.
Following behind was a long string of zeros, which made Li Fan's eyes black at the time.
I definitely can't afford to buy it.
But you can make a cake... Ah no, it's a promise!
I possess a special secret technique that can sense the spiritual objects of heaven and earth, "Li Fan began to fabricate." As long as it is within a certain range, I can perceive the approximate direction of high-level spiritual materials. However, this secret technique consumes a lot and requires me to reach a certain level of cultivation before I can use it. Currently, my cultivation is still shallow and I cannot accurately perceive the sixth grade divine medicine
This statement is false and true. The system does have a search function, but it also requires the installation of B values and permissions.
Su Muyue remained silent, just watching Li Fan quietly, as if judging the authenticity of his words.
The cave was quiet for a moment, with only the sound of the pond water.
After a while, Su Youyue spoke softly, "What about the conditions
There is no free lunch in the world. She understands this principle.
Li Fan smiled.
Talking to smart people is easy.
Two conditions. "He extended two fingers." First, I need some healing and cultivation resources to help me recover and improve my strength as soon as possible. When I reach enough cultivation level, I will naturally search for the Nine Yang Resurrection Grass
Secondly, before I have the ability to search for the elixir, I hope the girl can provide me with some... shelter. To be honest with you, I am being chased by the Purgatory Sect and urgently need a temporary shelter
Su Youyue furrowed her brows slightly.
The first condition is good to say, she is not lacking in resources. But the second condition
I am not a resident of this place, and I cannot stay for a long time, "she shook her head." Besides, I have a lot of troubles myself, and I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you
No need for a long time, "Li Fan immediately said." Just let me follow the girl temporarily and leave the influence of the Purgatory Sect. In return, I will do my best to help the girl find other spiritual medicines to relieve toxicity and pay attention to the clues of the Nine Yang Resurrection Grass
He saw that Su Youyue was still hesitating and added another flame:
Miss, I'm sure you know better than me the pain of Jiuyin Juemai's attack. Every day you delay, the toxicity deepens. Even if you can suppress it with Xuanyin Zhenhun Pill, how long can you suppress it? Three years? Two years
And I am the only one who can see through your toxicity at a glance and know the complete cure method
Take a gamble, maybe you can get a new life. Don't bet, in three years
Li Fan didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was very clear.
Su Youyue's fingers tightened slightly.
She looked at Li Fan's clear and confident eyes, and remembered his composure when he talked confidently about the Nine Yang Nirvana Pill just now
This person is too mysterious.
Although only in the middle stage of the day after tomorrow, he possesses rare demonic veins, knows ancient secrets, and speaks with a maturity and confidence that does not match his age.
Perhaps... what does he really rely on?
After a long silence, Su Youyue finally nodded slowly.
Okay
She spoke softly, but with a decisive tone.
I can provide you with resources and temporary shelter to take you out of this area. But you must remember your promise - the Nine Yang Resurrection Grass
If you lie to me... "She raised her eyes, a cold glint flashing through them." Even if I were to die from poisoning, the power behind me would be enough to make you... and all those associated with you, pay the price
Although the breath was weak, the chill in that moment made Li Fan's spine feel cold.
He has no doubt about the authenticity of this sentence.
One word is settled, "Li Fan said solemnly." Although I, Li Fan, am not a gentleman, I will do my best to fulfill my promises
Su Muyue's expression softened slightly, and she took out an exquisite storage bag from her arms and handed it to Li Fan.
There are some elixirs and spirit stones here, which should be enough for you to heal and cultivate for a period of time. In addition... "She took out a moon white jade pendant." Wearing this' Hidden Breath Pendant 'can conceal your breath, and it is difficult for cultivators below the elemental level to see through your true cultivation and bloodline
Li Fan took it and sighed in his heart.
No wonder he is a big shot with a mysterious background, and everything he gives casually is so good.
He reached into the storage bag with his mind and immediately took a cold breath.
There are hundreds of low-grade spirit stones neatly arranged inside! There are also dozens of jade bottles containing various healing, qi recovery, and cultivation enhancing elixirs, all of which have the lowest level of second grade! Even a few bottles of third grade pills!
Got rich!
These resources are enough for him to cultivate until the day after tomorrow!
Thank you, miss! "Li Fan sincerely thanked her.
Su Muyue waved her hand and started coughing again, her face even paler.
Upon seeing this, Li Fan quickly purchased a bottle of 'Nuan Yang Dan' from the system store and spent 50 points to obtain a B value.
This is a second grade pill, mild in nature, capable of relieving symptoms of yin cold, which is just right for the symptoms.
Miss, give this a try, "Li Fan handed over the pill." Although it won't cure the root cause, it should make you feel better
Su Muyue glanced at him, didn't refuse, and took out a piece of clothing.
After a moment, a slight blush appeared on her face and her cough also eased significantly.
This pill... has a good effect, "she was somewhat surprised. Many pills given by the family have less obvious effects.
Ancestral secret recipe, exclusively refined, "Li Fan boasted without hesitation.
Su Muyue gave him a deep look and didn't ask any further questions.
Pack up, let's leave as soon as possible. The Purgatory Sect's search team may have arrived nearby
Li Fan nodded, put away his things, and put on the hidden breathing pendant. Suddenly, the aura around him became blurred, and even the unique sense of nobility of the Purple Gold Demon Vein was partially concealed.
Good thing!
The two of them didn't have much conversation and quickly left the cave.
Su Youyue seemed familiar with this forest and led Li Fan through the complex terrain, avoiding several areas where dangerous monsters may be lurking.
On the way, Li Fan also learned some information from Su Youyue's occasional words.
She comes from a faction called "Yuehua Palace" (which Li Fan has never heard of), and this trip is to search for several special spiritual medicines to alleviate toxicity, while also gathering information about the Nine Yang Resurrection Grass. She has traveled to several continents, and the Broken God Continent is her last stop.
If we can't find any clues in the Broken God Continent... "Su Muyue looked into the distance, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes," we'll have to go back
Go back and wait for death.
She didn't say this sentence out loud, but Li Fan could feel it.
He watched the girl's thin and stubborn figure, and a soft spot in his heart was touched.
Don't worry, "Li Fan suddenly spoke, his voice not loud but unusually firm," I will definitely help you find the Nine Yang Resurrection Grass
Su Youyue's footsteps paused slightly, without turning back, just making a gentle "hmm" sound.
But Li Fan saw that her ears seemed to turn slightly red.
The two of them walked for another half day and crossed a mountain range.
A wide official road appeared ahead, with cars and horses running back and forth. Occasionally, one could see cultivators and imperial weapons flying by.
In front of us is the 'Black Stone City', a scattered and gathered city on the edge of the Broken God Continent, not under the jurisdiction of any major sects, mixed with fish and dragons. "Su Muyue pointed to the faintly visible outline of the city wall in the distance," We will temporarily settle there, and you can supplement any resources you need. Afterwards, I will go to the 'Wanbao Tower' in the city to inquire about information
Li Fan nodded in agreement.
Blackstone City sounds like a place suitable for fishing in troubled waters.
Coincidentally, he also needs to inquire about the current situation of the Purgatory Sect and... earn the B value of the equipment.
The two were about to descend the mountain when suddenly——
Stop
A sharp shout came from the nearby forest.
Immediately afterwards, five figures darted out and blocked the way.
The leader is a one eyed man with a scar on his face, carrying a ghost headed knife and a fierce aura. He is sure to achieve perfection the day after tomorrow! The four people behind him, all of whom were in the later stages of cultivation the day after tomorrow, all showed poor manners and greedily scanned Li Fan and Su Duyue with their eyes.
Hehe, big brother, it seems like we're lucky, "a thin monkey like man licked his lips." This little lady looks really lively, and with her little white face, there seems to be something good on her
The one eyed man shone with one eye and stared at Su Suiyue with a lewd smile, saying, "Little beauty, are you playing with your brothers? As for this little white face... hand over the valuable things on your body, and I'll spare you from death
Mountain bandits who rob the road.
Li Fan's eyes turned cold.
Su Muyue furrowed her brow slightly, seemingly unwilling to do anything, and whispered, "Give them some money and send them away
She has a special identity and should not be easily exposed.
Li Fan shook his head.
Send it away? These fugitives, once they show weakness, will only gain an advantage.
And
He looked at the five fierce robbers in front of him, with a cold curve at the corner of his mouth.
Coincidentally, let's try our mid-term strength the day after tomorrow, and by the way... earn some B value.
System, release a task
Ding! Real time task release: [ When the road is rough, pretend to step on someone with B ]
Task content: Defeat or kill the robber in front of you, and show your strength and B-grid in front of Su Guiyue. "
Task reward: Based on the effect of installing B, reward 100-500 points for installing B. "
Special Reminder: When the host puts on a B in front of an 'important female character' for the first time, the effect will be increased by 20%. "
Li Fan smiled.
He took a step forward, blocking Su Youyue behind him, and looked at the one eyed man, saying calmly:
Give you three breaths of time, get lost
The one eyed man was taken aback for a moment, then became furious and said, "Kid! You're looking for death
He waved his hand and said, 'Brothers, chop him off! That little lady, keep her alive!'
Four bandits rushed forward screaming loudly!
Swords and shadows, full of murderous intent!
Li Fan's eyes remained calm as he slowly gripped the hilt of the Dark Iron Heavy Sword with his right hand.
Purple magic energy quietly circulates.
A crushing battle is about to begin.
