"Moreover, the number of Little Medicine King Cauldrons seems to be far more than two."
"If you are not strong enough, the Little Medicine King Cauldron is not just an opportunity, but a life-threatening talisman."
"But it would really not suit me to watch such a treasure buried deep underground and finally taken away by others."
"Perhaps, we can use this as a medium to stir up some trouble. If we can figure out the secret of the returning Medicine King Cauldron, that would be even better."
Li Fan's thoughts surged.
"However, before that, let Jiao Xiuyuan take action and dig out the Little Medicine King Cauldron."
"Speaking of which, how much did Jiao Xiuyuan lose? Why hasn't he replied to me yet?"
"Qianli Tang has never opened."
Li Fan was helpless and had to use his clone to send another message to Jiao Xiuyuan.
Who would have thought that the other party would come back quickly this time.
The tone is a bit innocent.
"What? I didn't reply to you? How is that possible!"
"My injury has been cured for a long time! However, there is a small problem, and Qianlitang will not be able to open for the time being."
Li Fan was speechless: "Look at the historical news yourself."
After a while, Jiao Xiuyuan quickly apologized: "Oh, I was negligent! I really didn't pay attention! But you can't blame me. Now I have thousands of things, thousands of things!"
"I thought Taoist friend suffered too much loss and just ran away." Li Fan joked.
"Haha, fellow Taoist, you are joking. The word "Shang" is where my Tao lies. How could I give up so easily? However, the current situation is special. It is really a bit difficult for me to control thousands of puppets with my own strength.
I can barely cope with it. In order to avoid doing wrong business and causing greater losses, I can only temporarily close some unimportant shops."
Jiao Xiuyuan spoke intermittently, which was a bit like the stuck state that Li Fan was familiar with.
Li Fan couldn't help but ask: "Huh? Is it possible that there is something wrong with the exercises practiced by fellow Taoists? I wonder if it can be revealed?"
"Haha, there's nothing to say. Fellow Taoist is my partner. Last time, I caused you to lose a lot. But Fellow Taoist didn't complain at all, and I felt a little bit sorry." Jiao Xiuyuan, on the other hand, said
Very polite.
"You also know that the technique I practice is called "Thousands of Puppet Ways". I control thousands of puppets to purchase supplies, collect intelligence, negotiate business, and reduce the cost of operating Qianli Hall to the extreme."
"But after all, people's concentration and attention have limits. If you do two things, or three things, you can barely maintain it normally. But if you want to be flexible and control tens of thousands of puppets at the same time, you are beyond your capabilities."
Jiao Xiuyuan paused and said slowly.
Li Fan happened to interrupt at this time and asked: "So what method did fellow Taoist use before to ensure that such a large number of puppets function normally? Could it be some kind of multi-tasking technique?"
"The effect is indeed multi-tasking, but it's not a skill, but an ancient magical art!" Jiao Xiuyuan said with some pride. "In order to find this magical art, I spent almost half of the world of cultivating immortals.
, turned over everything."
"Ancient magic?" Li Fan's eyes narrowed and he couldn't help but ask.
Seeing that Li Fan seemed to be very interested in this, Jiao Xiuyuan did not show off and asked directly: "Do you know about the ancient Taiyan Sect?"
"Taiyan Sect?" Li Fan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think of Yi Xing's tomb buried deep under Daxuan.
That Yi Xing is an outer disciple of Taiyan Sect.
Moreover, he once pretended to be a descendant of the Taiyan Sect in front of Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi, and coaxed them into repairing the Taiyan Boat for him.
Unexpectedly, the multi-tasking method that I couldn't ask for would actually be related to Taiyan Sect?
Jiao Xiuyuan saw that Li Fan was stunned and did not answer, thinking that Li Fan didn't understand him, so he briefly introduced him: "This Taiyan sect was from ancient times and was famous all over the world for its techniques of deduction and calculation."
"His Zhenpai Kung Fu: "Nine Volumes of the Evolution of Heaven", is extremely mysterious and has infinite power. It is so successful that it is said to be able to deduce all people and all events within a thousand years."
"Haha. Of course, my magic has nothing to do with the "Nine Volumes of Yantian"."
Jiao Xiuyuan suddenly changed the topic, and Li Fan's breath froze.
"But this miraculous technique was something that disciples of Taiyan Sect must learn at the time." Jiao Xiuyuan explained.
"Oh? How do you say this?"
"Think about it, fellow Taoist, it is said that one hair affects the whole body. In this world, everyone and everything affects each other all the time."
"One change brings about a hundred changes, and a hundred changes bring about a thousand changes. The world is so vast."
"The number of variables is really unimaginable."
"Even with the ability of a Hedao monk, it is impossible to sort out these variables one by one."
"The number of variables you have is closely related to the accuracy of the derivation results."
"So every Taiyan sect member has been determined to improve his ability to control variables throughout his life."
Jiao Xiuyuan spoke eloquently.
"This ability, to put it bluntly, is the calculation ability of a monk. Some monks are extremely talented and have outstanding calculation power. Although there are thousands of things, in his eyes, all the variables are just orderly and clear.
”
"But there are very few such monks after all. Even in the Taiyan Sect in ancient times, they were extremely rare."
"So what should ordinary Taiyan Sect disciples do if they want to improve their calculation abilities?"
Jiao Xiuyuan paused.
Li Fan asked cooperatively: "Is this the function of your thaumaturgy?"
"Not bad!" Jiao Xiuyuan excitedly revealed the answer.
"A monk is born not to be different, but to be good at things! If you are not born with this ability, you might as well use external things!"
"This magical art is called [Hua Dao Shen Yi]."
"In ancient times, there was a treasure in the Taiyan Sect. It was called the Stone of Transformation."
"On the surface, it seems that the brilliance is flowing inside this transformation stone, and in the blink of an eye, countless worlds seem to be born and destroyed."
"But in fact, these worlds of birth and death are not just illusions."
"It's just that the Dao Transformation Stone deduces on its own, and the calculation results appear. Although it is an illusion, it is not an illusion."
"This [Transformation of Dao Shen Yi] technique is to use a secret method to integrate one's mind with the Dao Transformation Stone."
"Thus, we can use the terrifying calculation ability of the Hua Dao Stone for our own use, and achieve the point of peering into the sky and exploring cause and effect."
Jiao Xiuyuan's tone became smoother and smoother.
"At the beginning, almost everyone in the Taiyan Sect had a Dao Transformation Stone. They were all separated from the largest [Dao Transformation Stone Mother]."
"The higher the quality of the stone, the stronger the calculation ability."
"The reason why I could easily control these thousands of puppets before was because of the Transformation Stone and [Transformation Shenyi]."
"And the reason why there is a little trouble now is also related to the transformation stone."
"The last time the price of Spirit Mist Grass collapsed, I really lost too much. I had thousands of puppets, and my heart was shaken at the same time. The quality of the transformation stone that is the same as mine is not very good. It couldn't bear it, and it cracked directly.
,Lost the calculation function."
When Jiao Xiuyuan mentioned the sad past, he couldn't help but sigh.
"If you want to control these thousands of puppets smoothly again, you need to find a new transformation stone."
"This is a rare thing. It has a price but no market."
"When the great catastrophe came, the Taiyan Sect was destroyed, and the mother stone of transformation was missing. Now that so much time has passed, it is really difficult to find the stone of transformation again."
"However, I found some news recently. If everything goes well, we will not be far away from restarting work."
Jiao Xiuyuan's tone became excited again.
"The Stone of Transformation, the God of Transformation."
Li Fan thought about it for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "This Taiyan Sect has been destroyed for thousands of years. Why do I think that fellow Taoist knows so much about the secrets of Taiyan Sect? Could it be that fellow Taoist is Taiyan?"
Descendants of Yanzong?"
"Don't be joking, fellow Taoist, of course I am not a descendant of the Taiyan Sect. The reason why I know these secrets is not because I happened to dig the grave of a disciple of the Taiyan Sect..."
When Li Fan heard this, he immediately fell silent.
The two fell into an eerie silence for a while.
"Haha, fellow Taoist, don't get me wrong. I only do it occasionally when it comes to digging graves. The source of the goods in my Qianli Hall is innocent. Those that come from graves must be only a few."
"Haha, fellow Taoist, don't worry. I don't have any taboos about this matter. What I believe in is that no matter where you come from, as long as it is useful," Li Fan said.
"Tsk, tsk, what fellow Taoist said is exactly in line with my beliefs!" Jiao Xiuyuan became excited again.
Li Fan remembered his original intention of contacting Jiao Xiuyuan, and said: "Speaking of this, I have something to ask fellow Taoist for help."
Jiao Xiuyuan immediately said: "Fellow Taoist, just say whatever I can, I will definitely help."
"Fellow Taoist, you should know about the ancient Medicine King Sect, right? When I checked the classics today, I found that the members of the Medicine King Sect used a small cauldron to plant and cultivate various spiritual herbs."
"This small cauldron has its own space, which can automatically generate wood-attribute aura and accelerate the growth of herbs."
"I just need this small tripod to cultivate a rare herb."
"However, the Yaowang Sect's ruins seem to be quite dangerous, so I would like to trouble my fellow Taoist to go there and find some small cauldrons for me to bring back."
"Of course, the reward will definitely not be without fellow Taoist. Although fellow Taoist and I share the same goals and have a good relationship, business is business and cannot be ambiguous." Li Fan smiled and said slowly.
When Jiao Xiuyuan heard this, he agreed very much.
"Fellow Taoist said it well, business is business. Just what you said, I will help you with this! Xiaoding, right? This kind of thing is distributed to every disciple, and it is not something that is particularly cherished. It should be
It won’t be hard to find.”
"Fellow Taoist, please wait for my good news." Jiao Xiuyuan agreed.
"In that case, I'm sorry for bothering fellow Taoist Jiao!" Li Fan thanked him in advance.
After a few more pleasantries, Li Fan ended the communication without mentioning the Huandao Stone and [Huandao Shenyi].
"The tomb of the disciples of Taiyan Sect, the Taoist Stone..."
In the Tianxuan Mirror, scenes of when he was still a mortal grand master and led everyone to explore Yi Xing's tomb emerged in Li Fan's mind.
"As a mortal at the time, I didn't care."
"Looking back now, it seems that there is something else going on inside Yixing's tomb."
"The aura of the Immortal Land has been cut off. But inside that tomb, there are mountains and seas of clouds that have not dispersed for thousands of years."
"It's obviously not a mortal mechanism, it should be some kind of formation, restriction or something like that."
