Chapter 725: Chapter 690: Unexpected Joy in Spending Money
Li Fan speculated that in addition to nurous relics from the Ancient Xian Realm, there might also be residues from other Immortal Cultivation Worlds within the White Mist.
After all, no one knew how many worlds the Xuanhuang World had absorbed over the years to delay the fate of being devoured by the Immortal Ruins. Even the Xuanhuang World itself had undergone earth-shattering changes, as if it had expanded a circle. Not to ntion the White Mist Barrier, which seed to be a blending zone of worlds.
However, for Li Fan, although the White Mist was fraught with danger, the actual level of danger might not surpass that of the Xuanhuang World itself.
After all, there were too many hidden monsters in the Xuanhuang World. Since reincarnation, Li Fan had encountered the Celestial Doctor, Ruo Mu, the Mysterious Sky Palm, and other powerful entities, each ti escaping death by a whisker. Who knew how many more hidden powerful beings there were?
While the White Mist was indeed dangerous, most of the danger cos from the Elent Devouring White Fog itself. Even if so eerie and terrifying beings were encountered, they wouldn’t render Li Fan helpless like the powerful beings in the Xuanhuang World did.
“Compared to the Xuanhuang World, the White Mist is like the corpse of a dead Immortal Cultivation World. And living people are often more fearful than the dead one.”
“With the presence of Xu Bai to oversee the planning of ‘The Mountain-Seating Secret’, there should be no errors. It’s a good ti for to venture into the White Mist, to see exactly what the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals is up to.”
Li Fan withdrew his thoughts and began purchasing useful items from the Tianxuan Mirror, based on his experience from his previous life.
For instance, the Ba Fang Tranquility Array, which could temporarily block the attack of the Elent Devouring White Fog and create opportunities to catch one’s breath at critical monts.
The Black Death Talisman, a must-have for resisting the devouring effect of the White Mist and traversing it.
And many elixirs for quickly replenishing the spiritual energy within one’s body.
Li Fan noticed that the prices of these items had been noticeably rising in recent tis, especially the Black Death Talisman, which had doubled in price without anyone noticing. It was evident that quite a few people knew about the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals’ plan to push cultivators into exploring the White Mist and were taking this final opportunity to make a profit.
Among all the items, the price of life-extending treasures had risen the most sharply, generally quadrupling in price. Life-extending items were rare and expensive to begin with.
After a cultivator used one kind, they would have to find another. This resulted in a supply-demand imbalance, with often no goods available at any price.
Now that the White Mist Exploration Era was imminent, faced with the threat of the Elent Devouring White Fog, these life-extending treasures were tantamount to life-saving items.
In his previous life, Li Fan was trapped in the White Mist and forced to break out but ended up aged due to staying within it for too long. If he had had an Elixir of Immortality at the ti, he could have avoided this situation.
Not all cultivators in the world have the opportunity to start over like Li Fan. It is only natural for them to prepare more life-saving items for their own sake.
Looking at the over a hundred Elixirs of Immortality that Liu San had prepared for him, Li Fan, who was not lacking in contribution points, naturally didn’t sell them but prepared to use them at key monts.
“It’s a pity that at this point in ti, Zhong Shentong hasn’t made a na for himself. I’ve been searching for a long ti and haven’t been able to track him down. Otherwise, if I could learn his Seven-color Divine Light and move freely, it would be much more convenient. As for his incomplete version of ‘The Mystical Skill of Life and Death’, I’ll wait until I have a chance to complete it.”
Ti flew by.
The next day, Li Fan, Huang Fusong, and Dong Fangyao t up again.
As agreed, Li Fan took out a large batch of supplies he had purchased and handed them over to them.
“Wow, brother, you sure are extravagant!” Dong Fangyao imdiately laughed and cheerfully put the storage ring full of supplies away.
Huang Fusong glanced at the ring, and surprise crossed his face: “Brother Li, you’ve really gone all out!”
“Since we’ve agreed to venture into the White Mist together, we should be fully prepared. A little money is nothing compared to the safety of you guys.” Li Fan waved his hand dismissively and replied nonchalantly.
“Also, I’ve prepared this.” Li Fan’s expression beca serious as he took out two jade bottles and handed them over.
Upon receiving the bottles, Huang Fusong and Dong Fangyao opened them to reveal three pills glowing with a blue light. The tantalizing fragrance of the pills imdiately hit their senses, almost making them swallow the pills on the spot out of anticipation.
Both of them looked surprised, and asked in unison: “Life Healing Pills?”
Li Fan nodded slightly, lowered his voice and quietly said: “I’ve gone through a lot of effort to get this. They’re the Elixir of Immortality, each one can extend life span by two hundred years, and what’s even greater is that they can be taken repeatedly. Although the effect gradually weakens, it is said that within ten pills, it can still guarantee an extension of a hundred years.”
Hearing this, both Huang Fusong and Dong Fangyao imdiately understood the value of the Elixir of Immortality.
They carefully put the jade bottle away, looked at Li Fan and said emotionally, “Brother Li…”
Li Fan simply smiled and interrupted their words with a hand gesture.
Huang Fusong hesitated for a while, then clenched his teeth as if he had made a determination.
“I’ll be back in a mont, please wait,” he said.
Before Li Fan could reply, he hurriedly left the private room in the Debating Tower. To the uninitiated, it would look like he had run off with the supplies.
However, both Dong Fangyao and Li Fan remained calm and patient, waiting in the room without showing any such thoughts.
Dong Fangyao had known Huang Fusong for many years, and he clearly understood his character and had no such worries. But he was impressed that Li Fan could be as composed.
“Hehe, I have a good eye indeed. Brother, you’re really a trustworthy person!” Dong Fangyao said.
“In the midst of the White Mist, dangers are everywhere. If we can’t trust our companions, why would we travel together?” Li Fan said calmly, showing a certain grandeur.
After waiting for half a day, Huang Fusong did not return. They tried to contact him with the Communication Talisman, to no avail. He had seemingly vanished into thin air.
Other than Li Fan, even Dong Fangyao had started to worry.
anwhile, Dong Fangyao marveled at the calm expression on Li Fan’s face.
The reason Li Fan was so calm was not only because he knew Huang Fusong well and knew he was not the kind of person to take short-term gains, but more importantly…
What was seen as “valuable” by Huang Fusong wasn’t worth a ntion to Li Fan.
After waiting for half a day longer, it was already late at night when Huang Fusong finally returned quietly.
“Since Brother Li was so frank, I let it all out.”
“Take a look…”
After sealing the door of the room and setting up an Array Technique around them to prevent spying, he solemnly took out a small, square, antique mirror from his chest and placed it in front of them.
“What’s this?” asked Dong Fangyao, utterly puzzled.
Li Fan, however, stared intently at the small mirror in Huang Fusong’s hand, a tremor in his heart.
