บท 12: Chapter 12. Second Anchor Point Appears
"The Golden Seal of the Jade Realm of a Thousand Mechanisms," a Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique, current practitioners: 0."
Li Fan picked up the Jade Scroll, and a piece of information naturally appeared in his spirit consciousness.
"Nascent Soul Realm…" Li Fan couldn't help but yearn in his heart. Unfortunately, he was still just a mortal without a trace of spiritual awareness. Although he could simply use the Storage Ring, he was powerless when confronted with this Nascent Soul True Technique. All he could do was stare helplessly at it, unable to understand its specific content.
Being unable to enjoy the mountain of treasure at his disposal, Li Fan greedily gazed at it a few more times before finally, reluctantly, putting it down.
Afterward, Li Fan turned his gaze to a rust-covered iron sword at his side.
This is the Rusted Sword Daoxuan, the Foundation Establishment Strange Object used by Dao Xuanzi.
According to Kou Hong, energy refining cultivators need various natural treasures to establish their Tao Foundation in order to make a breakthrough.
Each natural treasure has its own wonders, and only those with fate can find them.
Once it is used by a cultivator to forge their Tao foundation, the fortune of the magic object becomes intricately linked with that of the cultivator.
If a cultivator were to perish, the magic object would also lose its exceptional properties along with the cultivator's death, becoming an ordinary item.
Li Fan gently touched the ordinary-looking iron sword in front of him but his attention was focused on the information that had suddenly popped up in the [Real].
"Discovered an item that can be charged: Rusted Sword Daoxuan (damaged)."
"Would you like to charge it?"
Li Fan pondered for a moment and chose Yes.
The rusted sword in his hand quietly disappeared and in response, a line of small characters appeared in Li Fan's spirit consciousness.
"Current anchor charging process: 1％"
"Current anchor point quantity: 1"
Li Fan's heart stirred slightly. According to the information provided by [Real], once the anchor charging process reaches 100%, a second anchor point will be opened.
In the future, everything will be virtualized. When choosing to return, you can choose to restart from any anchor point.
"If I can truly open the second anchor point, that would be extremely convenient." Li Fan pondered for a while, full of anticipation.
For example, his repeated reincarnations in his past lives were attempts to obtain the path of cultivation from Kou Hong. The previous fifty years seemed like repetitive torment. Not to mention the uncontrollable variables that sometimes occurred.
If he could directly start the reincarnation from the point where he himself becomes the prime minister in control of the world, the efficiency of his attempts would significantly increase.
Thinking further, he's currently just a mortal and each cycle of reincarnation lasts only fifty years. Though it seems long, he can barely accept it. Once he embarks on the path of cultivation, a failure would mean starting over from scratch, a thought that already makes his scalp go numb.
Moreover, if more anchor points can be opened, then Li Fan will have enough chances to experiment. By constantly trying and iterating, it isn't impossible to carve a perfect path of longevity.
As for the initial anchor point, it could act as a last resort.
"Although natural treasures are rare, the Immortal Cultivation World is vast with countless strange things. As long as I can leave the Immortal Realm and break free from these fetters…" Li Fan's desire to leave increased drastically as he thought of these possibilities.
After absorbing the Rusted Sword Daoxuan, he didn't pay much attention to the other things in the Storage Ring.
They were nothing more than some standard spirit stones and some low-grade magic tools.
Standard spirit stones are coins, created by the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization and have different grades. They act as legal currency in the Immortal Cultivation World. Each spirit stone has a unique anti-counterfeiting seal that cannot be replicated.
In fact, the value of standard spirit stones lies in their recognition by the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization as they can be exchanged for techniques. As for those poorly made spirit stones and naturally occurring spirit stones mined from various spirit ores, they are worth nothing.
Speaking fundamentally, the thing binding all cultivators in the current Immortal Cultivation World isn't the resources like spiritual energy and spirit stones, but techniques and cultivation methods for each realm.
The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization control most of the techniques in the world, making them a gigantic entity spanning the whole Immortal Cultivation World.
The low-level magic tools, mainly used in battles, are typical. Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi were not wealthy people. That's why the magic tools they carried were of ordinary quality and had no special value.
After putting all the items, including the Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique, back into the Storage Ring one by one, Li Fan was already panting heavily.
This body was so aged that like a candle in the wind, it could completely extinguish at any moment.
Taking a deep breath, Li Fan closed his eyes, seemingly trying to inscribe his current weakness deep into his heart.
Subsequently, Li Fan hesitated no more, summoned [Real], and ended this life.
…
In the darkness, scenes quickly flashed by and finally, a few familiar characters appeared in his field of vision.
[The current simulation has ended]
[You can choose to retain one of the following items from the simulation:
1. An item possessed by yourself in this simulation.
2. Your cultivation realm from this simulation.
3. The simulated memories of a person closely related to you from this simulation. These memories can be inherited by that individual.
4. Choose to abandon the above selections and accelerate the charging process.]
This time, Li Fan chose the first option.
Unfortunately, his attempt to outsmart the decision by putting all the items into the Storage Ring at the end of his last life did not succeed.
The Storage Ring, Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique, spirit stones, magic tools, and other items appeared one by one in Li Fan's consciousness.
Li Fan naturally chose the Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique as expected.
What delighted him was that once he chose this technique, he could extract and return it to [Real] at any time. Moreover, a certain binding effect had taken place between the technique and himself.
This technique now completely belonged to him. Even if he didn't choose to take it back during the next simulation, it would forever exist within [Real].
"With this, I have more room for planning..." Li Fan took out the golden jade scroll, playing with it in his hand while thinking about his plan of action in this life.
"The Great Migration Era has already passed for thousands of years and relevant clues have already been deeply buried underground. The act of digging up ancient tombs en masse is too shocking and caused quite a bit of opposition even when I was in strong control of the court in my previous life. Such an act would definitely not be sustainable if done so soon after stabilizing the court."
"However, if I start planning from this moment and spend twenty years, I might be able to change the thinking of the world's people..."

…
As time went by, Li Fan's sixth life began.
Everything proceeded as planned, but under the subtle influence of Li Fan, subtle changes occurred in the flow of events.
Three years into the anchoring process, rumors of the descent of immortals began to circulate throughout Da Xuan.
Five years into the anchoring process, the Ancient Studies Faction emerged. The faction brought several ancient books to the court, which captivated the world due to their exquisite contents and rarity.
The ancient books are named: "Book of Changes," "Tao Te Ching," "Nanhua," "Analects," "The Great Learning" …
