Jiao Xiuyuan transformed into thousands of puppets, and he alone supported [Qianli Tang], a huge business organization spread throughout the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
In various ruins, there may be his shadow in the rarely populated wilderness.
He can even stir up the storm in the Xuanhuang Realm by himself.
It’s quite a bit like entering Taoism through business.
But this person seems to have bad luck.
He said he would never do business at a loss, but judging from Li Fan's experience with him, Jiao Xiuyuan seemed to often lose money when doing business.
No matter when I first got to know him, he hoarded a large number of hidden talismans. As a result, the price of hidden talismans plummeted due to the Five Elements Cave.
Later, he worked hard to unearth some small Medicine King Cauldrons. As long as he waits for the True Medicine King Cauldron to return, he will definitely make a lot of money.
But as if he was born with no destiny, he sold all these little medicine king cauldrons at low prices early on.
"Perhaps it is true that I have never lost money, but it seems that I always miss the opportunity to make a fortune."
"Even if he worked with me as Zhuang Ling Mist Grass in the last life, in the end because of his greed, he stopped too slowly, and the huge wealth he got was instantly wiped out."
"Only in this life will he really make a lot of profits. I don't know if any changes will happen to him."
While Li Fan was thinking, he carefully observed the objects placed by Jiao Xiuyuan on the shelves to see if he could find any more items such as the Little Medicine King Cauldron, and picked them up a little.
The things on the shelves are very miscellaneous, including all kinds of talismans, formation diagrams, and elixirs.
Li Fan paid special attention to items that mostly looked a bit dated.
Most of them are dilapidated and full of traces of history.
Picture scrolls, various decorations, unknown magic weapons that have no aura left at all.
Li Fan glanced at them one by one.
Suddenly, it stopped on an ancient painting.
His expression became a little solemn, Li Fan took off the scroll and unfolded it slowly.
It was not that there was anything special about the painting itself, but the content of the painting that attracted Li Fan's attention.
The painting depicts a majestic mountain gate.
The sky and the earth are the same color, with dozens of monks standing in the clouds, pointing into the distance.
Among the sea of clouds, the towering buildings on the top of the mountain are faintly visible.
Luan birds, dragons, and all kinds of strange animals shuttle through the mountains.
In the square at the foot of the mountain, there are hundreds of young disciples who are still childlike.
They looked up at the monks in the sky, their faces full of excitement and envy.
What a prosperous sect!
But...
Li Fan has seen this sect before, and it is very different from the prosperous scene in the painting.
Corpses were everywhere and blood flowed into rivers.
The mountain gate is broken and the ground is covered with ruins.
It was exactly the scene he saw at the bottom of the abyss when the thick fog in the abyss dissipated when he was in Daxuan.
The four words "The Immortal Way is dead" carved on the cliff deeply shocked Li Fan at the time.
Now Li Fan already knows that this must be the scene of the tragedy where the disciples of the sect killed each other after the great catastrophe of Fa Wu Tongxiu came.
"Which sect is this? Why did I see this place in the first place?"
You know, everyone sees a different view from the bottom of the Xuyuan.
Perhaps Li Fan was able to see this dilapidated sect because of some coincidence.
But Li Fan even believes that there may be some kind of guidance.
I carefully put away the scroll and walked around, but found nothing of value.
Li Fan came to Jiao Xiuyuan's side.
"Fellow Daoist Jiao? Friend Daoist Jiao!"
Li Fan yelled a few symbolic words, but when he saw that he still didn't respond, he stretched out his hand and started groping around him.
It's not that he has any special hobbies, but he wants to take advantage of this rare opportunity to study Jiao Xiuyuan's thousands of puppet ways.
Although "Qi Xuan Zhen Shi Chang" is already a shocking magical skill, it still has some minor shortcomings.
Born out of "The Art of Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun", it can only have one clone at the same time, which is really a pity.
If we can synthesize thousands of puppet ways, we can go one step further...
"Thousands of incarnations, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false."
While Li Fan was daydreaming in his mind, the movements of his hands were also unambiguous.
"It's almost exactly the same as a real person. Even if you use your spiritual consciousness to penetrate the induction, it's difficult to find the difference."
"The control core seems to be in the brain, and it is blue similar to the light of the fossil stone."
"I have seen the scene after the death of a puppet, with a yellow color like rotten wood. Are these puppet incarnations of Jiao Xiuyuan made of some kind of wood?"
""
……
Li Fan kept looking at the puppet in front of him, combining what he had learned, and carefully comprehending it, feeling that he had gained something hidden.
Just when he was secretly happy, he suddenly noticed that Jiao Xiuyuan's eyelids were trembling slightly.
His heart skipped a beat, and Li Fan immediately moved away.
After a while, I found that Jiao Xiuyuan's dull eyes became lively again.
"Fellow Daoist Jiao, are you awake?" Li Fan asked pretending to be very concerned.
"Huh? Fellow Taoist Li Fan? Why are you here?" Jiao Xiuyuan looked at Li Fan suspiciously.
Li Fan originally wanted to tell the truth about what happened after he was investigated, but unfortunately he had already signed a confidentiality agreement and was unable to tell the story.
He had no choice but to retreat and do the next best thing, telling Jiao Xiuyuan that he came here to take a break because he was avoiding the crowd.
"I noticed that shortly after Lu Xichan arrived, he lost contact with this puppet. I knew at that time that something serious was going on, and it was indeed the case."
"Confidentiality agreement..."
Jiao Xiuyuan looked at Li Fan and guessed the reason why he avoided talking.
"No wonder Tianquan, Tianyu Prefecture seems a little uneasy..." Jiao Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and was about to think deeply, but he accidentally glanced at his store, and his expression immediately changed.
Suddenly he came to the shelf, checked it again, and said in a voiceless voice: "Why does it seem that there is a missing painting?"
"I worked hard to dig this out from a pile of garbage!"
Li Fan was about to say, paint it here.
But he was surprised to find that the puppet in front of him was blown to pieces with a "bang".
Fortunately, it wasn't flesh and blood flying everywhere, but sawdust everywhere.
"Fellow Daoist Jiao!" Li Fan was also stunned by this turn of events.
"I'm fine!" In an instant, another puppet came out from under the counter.
With a gloomy look on his face, he took out a broom and started cleaning up the scene.
"What happened just now?" Li Fan couldn't help but asked curiously.
"We have made a loss-making business, so it is difficult to maintain it." Jiao Xiuyuan did not explain too much, just shook his head and sighed.
"It's really strange. How could a good painting disappear? Who is so bold as to steal it from me?" After cleaning, Jiao Xiuyuan touched his chin and said angrily.
"Uh, Fellow Daoist Jiao, I just forgot to tell you. When you were unconscious, I saw that the painting was pretty good, so I put it away." At this moment, he heard Li Fan say.
