My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 147 - 147: 141: Trace of the Crimson Flame

Li Fan was about to leave but suddenly remembered something.

Asking, “Brother Yu Wen, do you have any idea about the cultivation level of the guardian of Taian Island?”

Yu Wenxing was taken aback, not knowing why Li Fan would ask this question.

However, this wasn’t a secret and he answered, “Brother Zhou is in the middle phase of foundation establishment. It wasn’t long ago that he broke through from the early phase to the middle phase of foundation establishment. Probably around twenty or thirty years. It’s amazing that he’s about to break through again so soon. Everyone is really envious!”

Yu Wenxing said with a face full of envy.

“I see,” Li Fan mused, nodding his head.

“This Zhou Qingang seems to have some problems…”

However, since he was planning to get out of here anyway, this matter had nothing to do with him. He just made note of it.

After bidding farewell to Yu Wenxing, Li Fan hastily made his way to Moonlit Island.

By then, Su Xiaomei and the others had fully assembled.

Six years had passed, and everyone had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Su Changyu had successfully entered the Energy Refining Stage.

The art he was practicing was the Jade Restraint Art that Xiao Heng had exchanged for him.

Unable to contact Li Fan for several years, Xiao Heng and Su Xiaomei – at the recommendation of Zhao Erbao – joined the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

They had been completing tasks together to earn contribution points.

The two of them had completed the Late Refining Period and were preparing to lay their foundation.

As for Yin Yueting and Yin Yuzhen, they had successfully eliminated their pestilence.

However, they hadn’t successfully drawn in the energy into their bodies yet.

Though they were all at the Perfect Energy Cultivation stage, Li Fan was not afraid of being discovered by Su Xiaomei and the others thanks to his Invisible Talisman.

He asked Zhao Erbao, “How is the collection of Dao Rhyme Antiques coming along?”

Zhao Erbao had been behaving honestly in these years, having suffered enough under Li Fan’s command.

Latter, seeing the young ones brought by Li Fan advancing rapidly in their cultivation and surpassing him within a few years, he was extremely shocked and dared not disobey.

He promptly reported, “We’re still short of a few to recreate the Dao Rhyme. It should take another year or two.”

Li Fan shook his head, “There’s no more time. Get ready to go.” “Go? Where to?” Zhao Erbao was somewhat puzzled.

“Yuandao State,” Li Fan replied without explaining why.

Then he turned to look at Su Xiaomei and the others.

“Do you want to come with me?”

“Wherever Master goes, I will follow,” Su Xiaomei giggled, not asking why they suddenly had to leave.

Although so much time had passed, for some unknown reason, she still looked like a seven or eight-year-old kid.

Upon Li Fan’s question, she immediately expressed her loyalty.

“We’ll naturally follow Xiaomei,” Xiao Heng and Su Changyu had no objections either.

Yin Yueting, however, seemed a bit reluctant as she was attached to the business empire of Tianbao Building she had established over the years.

She hesitated, only to be kicked harshly in the leg by her sister Yin Yuzhen. After exchanging glances with her sister, she finally said, “We’re coming too.”

Li Fan nodded in satisfaction, and finally made a definitive decision, “Pack your things, we’re leaving in seven days.”

The reason for waiting so long was that transferring the Dao Rhyme Antiques was quite troublesome.

They couldn’t use spatial storage equipment and had to move things one by one.

Fortunately, with everyone working together, all Dao Rhyme Antiques were moved into the Tai Yan Boat within the stipulated time.

As for the assets of Tianbao Building, Yin Yueting took only half.

The rest she left to the elders who had been following her and struggling with her all these years.

Everyone boarded the Tai Yan Boat, preparing to leave.

At that point, a person suddenly rushed out from the crowd of Tianbao Building, shouting “Manager Yin” through his tears as he knelt down to kowtow.

He owed Yin Yueting a debt of gratitude and couldn’t bear to see her leave.

Li Fan looked over, and it turned out to be an acquaintance.

It was Elder Sun Zhang of Tianbao Building on Liuli Island from his previous life.

After some thought, Li Fan decided to take him aboard the Tai Yan Boat as well.

Besides them, there were no more people in the Tianbao Building who were willing to leave.

Li Fan asked about the man known as Ye Feipeng, the fat one.

From the various chatty answers of the crowd, Li Fan came to understand.

It turned out that Ye Feipeng had been spotted by Wu Xingzou from the Wanhua Commercial Association several years ago during their last meeting.

Taken with him, they left the Misthaven Ocean, with no one knowing their destination.

Li Fan nodded, not inquiring further.

Then he proceeded to set up the Tai Yan Boat and head for Yuandao State.

Li Fan had traversed this route before, this time there were no twists and turns.

After more than a month of travel, he arrived in Zhuoling City.

He had not expected to bring so many Dao Rhyme Antiques.

The courtyard he had previously prepared as a foothold was too small.

There was no way to fit everything in it.

So, Li Fan landed the Tai Yan Boat outside Zhuoling City, covered its traces with array techniques, and ordered Su Xiaomei and the others to guard it.

He then met with the guard of Zhuoling City and asked if there were suitable places to open a cave mansion nearby.

“Cave mansion?”

The guard, named Fei Nan, was a Final Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

He was somewhat surprised at Li Fan’s question at the moment.

Typically, cultivators of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals would choose to settle directly on the Yuandao Heavenly City, or simply stay within the Tianxuan Mirror.

Only those loose cultivators would take the trouble to establish a cave mansion in the wilderness.

However, there are always some cultivators with eccentric tendencies who prefer solitude.

Fei Nan didn’t ask too many questions.

Given Li Fan’s generous consultation fee of hundred contribution points, Fei Nan wholeheartedly provided several locations for him to choose from.

The first location was a canyon located more than two thousand miles north of Zhuoling City.

From the sky, the two mountains on either side looked like a natural barrier protecting the canyon in the middle.

Furthermore, the canyon was full of spiritual energy, and it was not far from Road Origin Heavenly City.

The second site was a continuous mountain range about three thousand miles south of Zhuoling City.

This mountain was called Tao Spirit Mountain.

It was once the location of a sect before the Great Calamity, according to legend.

There are numerous peaks in the mountain range suitable for opening a cave mansion.

But the downside is that there are cultivators exploring the sect’s ruins from time to time.

The third location was more remote.

Five thousand miles west of Zhuoling City, near Shilin State, there is a vast lake called Moon Lake, covering hundreds of miles.

The lake itself has no valuable special products, there are no ancient relics nearby, and the concentration of spiritual energy is sparse and common.

Therefore, there are seldom cultivators near there.

After listening to Fei Nan, Li Fan thanked and left.

The lake seemed to be the most suitable place for establishing a cave mansion among these options.

However, Li Fan was not in a hurry to make a decision, he would want to see it himself.

He reunited with Su Xiaomei and the others, set up the Tai Yan Boat, and headed for Moon Lake.

While Li Fan and his party were searching for their future foothold.

A big drama has quietly begun on Misthaven Ocean.

It was already midnight at this time.

The stars and the moon were not shining, it was dark and lightless.

There was silence on the Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

Suddenly, without any warning, a huge sun appeared in the sky.

The sunlight was fierce, revealing everything.

Turning the Misthaven Ocean under the night sky into something akin to daylight.

High above the sun, in the sky.

A transparent red figure suddenly became visible..
