"Jiao Daoyou, is this a loss-making business again?" Li Fan joked.
When Jiao Xiu saw a guest coming, his angry face instantly turned into a smile.
But after hearing Li Fan's ridicule, his face suddenly darkened.
He said sarcastically: "As for you, my fellow Taoist, I never make a loss-making business."
Then, he gritted his teeth and whispered: "This kid actually dares to play tricks on me. He really thinks that I, Jiao Xiuyuan, is easy to bully, right..."
Li Fan seemed to have heard him say this more than once, and immediately laughed without saying a word.
Looking at the small cauldron on the table, he turned to ask: "Fellow Daoist Jiao, this small cauldron is..."
Jiao Xiuyuan's eyes lit up and he immediately introduced Li Fan enthusiastically: "This small tripod is incredible. I spent a lot of hard work to find it from the ruins of a ruined sect."
"Oh? I wonder what this small tripod is used for?" Li Fan became interested. Most of the objects that have survived the catastrophe and been passed down to this day are not simple.
"Fellow Taoist, do you know the famous Yaowang Sect?" Jiao Xiuyuan said mysteriously.
"Never heard of it." Li Fan shook his head.
Jiao Xiuyuan's smile suddenly froze.
Fortunately, he has strong professionalism and immediately started explaining for Li Fan.
"The Medicine King Sect is also one of the famous sects in ancient times. It has always been famous for its alchemy and medicinal cultivation."
"It is said that after the Immortal Master taught the Dharma and before the great catastrophe, the leader of the Medicine King Sect at that time, Liu Ruchen, had a vague premonition that great changes might be coming to the world."
"So, Liu Ruchen, with an extremely tough attitude, led the entire Yaowang Sect, used the Yaowang Cauldron as a boat, opened the void, broke through the boundary and left."
This was the first time Li Fan heard such an anecdote: "Breaking through the boundary and leaving? Where did they go?"
Jiao Xiuyuan shrugged: "Thousands of years ago, who can know? Maybe I went to a small world around me, or maybe I went to a brand new world. Anyway, that's not the point."
"The key point is this tripod!"
Li Fan nodded slightly, but his clone Lin Fan quickly searched for the keyword: "World".
Relevant information immediately emerged.
It’s worth a lot of money, and it actually requires more than a thousand contribution points.
Buy and read.
Long ago, immortal cultivators had already established a basic worldview.
The world of immortality we live in now is not the only world that exists.
Not only around the world, there are many attached small worlds and miniature independent caves.
Outside of the endless void, there are other existences similar to our world.
Before the Great Tribulation, the ancient and prosperous world of immortality had had many exchanges with other worlds.
The monks at that time all called themselves "Xuanhuang Realm monks".
……
Li Fan paused slightly.
"Xuanhuang..."
With thoughts swirling in my heart, I continued reading.
But starting from a certain day, this kind of contact and communication was suddenly cut off for unknown reasons.
There was once a monk who wanted to cross the void and explore other worlds he had communicated with.
But they are all gone and never come back.
Later, a great catastrophe came and the world changed dramatically.
Xuanhuang Realm is even more "autistic".
It has become countless times more difficult to break through the void and leave here.
It will take hundreds of years until the killing ends and order is re-established.
Only then do new cultivators try to get in touch with other worlds again.
But over the years, nothing has been discovered.
However, it seems that relevant research has been ongoing and has not been given up.
……
"So that's it, the Xuanhuang Realm?"
"Could it be said that the Xuanhuang Qingxin Curse was handed down from ancient times? But the Immortal Mortal Miasma had not yet appeared at that time, so the time is a bit wrong."
Li Fan thought secretly.
What exactly happened in ancient times, even in the Tianxuan Realm, has no clear written records.
What is certain is that there are many monks who have survived since that time.
For example, the white-haired old man Li Fan saw before.
But they all kept silent about it, making this period of history seem to be shrouded in fog and confusing.
Today's monks can only get a glimpse of the various things that happened in ancient times based on hearsay.
What Kou Hong told Li Fan at the beginning is what is commonly circulated in the world of immortality today.
It was the great calamity that came and immortals could not practice together. It happened before the miasma of immortals and mortals became popular.
But later Li Fan found the tomb of Yi Xing, an outer disciple of Taiyan Sect.
According to the descriptions on the murals in the tomb passage, when the Immortal Miasma was prevalent, the Taiyan Sect obviously still existed in the world.
Yi Xing was ordered to relocate mortals.
This facilitates the contradiction mentioned by Kou Hong.
Li Fan believes more in the evidence obtained from "archaeology".
"According to Kou Hong, it seems that a period of time has passed from the time when the immortal method cannot be practiced together to the time when the killing comes."
"Perhaps, this period of time will last longer than imagined."
"Indeed, the cultivators at that time must have immediately thought of the consequences of not being able to practice the immortal method together, so they tried every means to save themselves."
"The collapse of order does not happen overnight. The ancient world of immortality has existed for an unknown period of time, so it may not be that unbearable."
"Moreover, the time scale of immortal cultivators is much larger than that of mortals."
"In the world of immortality in ancient times, monks still lived a long life."
"Ten or twenty years, for them, is probably just a retreat."
"The real fear, despair, and killing will only break out completely when your life is about to end due to your inability to advance in cultivation."
"At the beginning, order could barely be maintained. But then, the miasma of immortality broke out..."
Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Of course, this is just his guess based on various known clues.
There may be something more hidden in the truth.
But generally speaking, it should not be far from Li Fan’s guess.
……
While Li Fan was stunned, Jiao Xiuyuan spoke to him, but the other party didn't respond.
So he took the small tripod and waved it in front of Li Fan.
"Fellow Taoist, what do you think? Do you want this little medicine king cauldron or not?"
Li Fan suddenly came back to his senses, his expression unchanged: "What is the specific use of this small tripod? Fellow Daoist Jiao, please tell me again. I was thinking about other things just now."
Jiao Xiuyuan had no choice but to repeat the introduction: "This little Medicine King Cauldron was originally used by the Medicine King Sect to plant and cultivate various spiritual plants and herbs."
"It is a space of its own, which can continuously and automatically generate wood-attribute aura, accelerating the growth of herbs."
Li Fan frowned when he heard this: "It's such a treasure, why didn't that person just want it?"
Jiao Xiuyuan smiled awkwardly and did not lie. He told the truth: "Don't you know, fellow Taoist? The first batch of spiritual plants and herbs cultivated in the newly discovered wood-attribute spiritual energy cave in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance have been put on sale."<
