章節 17: Chapter 17 Everything is Prepared
"So, does this mean that what Li Fan said is true, that there really is a scroll of the ancestral Golden Core Technique?"
In the Grand Master Mansion, Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi conspired with each other through voice transmission.
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes." Dao Xuanzi nodded in agreement.
"Can we forcefully take it? After all, he's just a mere mortal." Kou Hong's face revealed a fiendish expression.
Immediately, Dao Xuanzi advised him against it. "Though Li Fan is just a mortal, he is the descendant of the Taiyan Sect. You also saw his terrifying prophetic ability, it is really frightening. If we forcibly take it, who knows what method he might use?"
"We're just going to help him repair the Taiyan Boat. It's not a difficult task. Why create additional complications?" Of course, what concerned Dao Xuanzi the most was that if they forced their hand, Li Fan, in desperation, could reveal that the scroll is actually about the Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique.
After Dao Xuanzi's persuasion, Kou Hong finally let go of his intent to forcefully take it.
The two secretly negotiated the distribution of benefits before finally agreeing to help repair the Taiyan Boat.
The next day, they saw the Taiyan Boat mentioned by Li Fan.
Visibly delighted, Kou Hong immediately took the boat to inspect it closely.
"No wonder it's a Taiyan Sect artifact, the crafting technique is exquisite and the array is mysterious, all surpass my knowledge!" Kou Hong was more and more pleased as he inspected it. "If we manage to repair it, my Way of Artefact Refining will definitely improve!"
"In that case, I'll have to entrust you with this task. If there are any requirements, feel free to ask, I will satisfy them." Li Fan said solemnly.
"You can leave now, don't bother me." Kou Hong waved his hand. He was already immersed in the research of the Taiyan Boat.
...
Time is irrelevant in cultivation.
Although it seems like a small wooden boat, Kou Hong and his companion spent nearly a year to fully repair it.
On this day, upon hearing that the Taiyan Boat had been completely repaired, Li Fan hastily found the two.
Upon receiving the Taiyan Boat from Kou Hong, he was filled with elation.
With a touch of pride, Kou Hong said, "The core power array of the Taiyan Boat, the transforming scaling array, the dust cleaning array have all been perfectly repaired. Due to limited materials, we could only make simple repairs to the defense and attack arrays. Going through the Immortal Forbiddance Formation should not be an issue, but it might not be able to resist the attack of cultivators."
Li Fan was not concerned about this: "It doesn't matter. As long as I can leave the Immortal Forbiddance Formation and return to the Immortal Cultivation World. I can rely on my ancestor's talisman to find a way to return to the Taiyan Sect."
Kou Hong's eyes twinkled, then he enthusiastically introduced Li Fan to the use of the Taiyan Boat.
"This Taiyan Boat uses spiritual energy as its power source and must be controlled by divine sense. It can transform into three sizes depending on need."
"The smallest is only ten meters long, two to three meters wide, and can carry around ten people. The medium size is 100 meters long and can carry hundreds of people. When expanded to its largest size, it can reach as long as a thousand meters and can carry tens of thousands of people! We don't have much spirit stone reserves, but I've already loaded enough to fuel your journey in the second size."
"However, piloting the Taiyan Boat requires a minimum of the Energy Refining Stage divine sense. I'm wondering if you need us to do it for you…"
Before Kou Hong could finish his sentence, he saw the Taiyan Boat, under Li Fan's control, gradually expand from a small toy into a proper-sized ship.
Li Fan couldn't wait to walk into the Taiyan Boat.
The construction of the ten-meter form of the Taiyan Boat is quite simple, there is only one level, with a nearly two meters long deck, followed by the control cabin and living cabin.
As Li Fan stood in the control cabin, his divine sense connected with the Taiyan Boat, then he immediately felt a sensation as if the boat was an extension of his own body.
Under his control, the Taiyan Boat floated effortlessly into the air, hovering in mid-air.
Subsequently, Li Fan drove the Taiyan Boat to fly up and down, left and right, before suppressing his excitement and returning to the ground.
"How impressive! Even though you're only a mortal, you can control the Taiyan Boat!" Kou Hong praised.
"It's just a little trick, not worth mentioning." Li Fan conceded with a small smile, "I have to thank the two of you! I've been trapped for a thousand years, now I finally have hope of escape, and it's all thanks to the both of you!"
Li Fan truly meant what he said.
Though Kou Hong was curious about how Li Fan could operate the Tai Yan Boat without divine sense, he decided to drop it upon seeing Li Fan avoiding the topic.
Dao Xuanzi, on the other hand, could hardly wait any longer: "Now that the Tai Yan Boat is fixed, I wonder..."
Li Fan let out a hearty laugh: "Everything is ready. Feel free to come with me to fetch it."
At his words, Dao Xuanzi quickly followed.
As they had previously agreed, Kou Hong did not follow, but chose to wait on the spot.
After a short moment, Dao Xuanzi came back, his face full of smiles, obviously having acquired the desired technique.
Li Fan, Dao Xuanzi, and Kou Hong were all pleased with the trade.
To express his gratitude, Li Fan hosted a lavish banquet, inviting both of them.
With an endless supply of food and drinks, dancers and singers, the party went on for three days.
Three days later, Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi bid farewell to Li Fan.
"Fellow Daoist, our remaining spirit stones are not that many. Continuing to stay in this Immortal Realm might risk reducing our cultivation level. Therefore, we're saying our goodbyes today," Dao Xuanzi told Li Fan.
Li Fan felt a bit of regret: "My clan still has several matters to attend to here, I'm afraid I can't accompany you two!"
Kou Hong then enthusiastically said: "No worries. If you ever leave, feel free to look for me in Lingtian City in the Misthaven Mountain Range."
With that being said, he handed Li Fan a map.
"This is a map of the area near the exit of the Immortal Forbiddance Formation, drawn from memory. I couldn't find a blank jade scroll, so had to make do with pen and paper."
Li Fan received the map with gratitude and thanked both of them repeatedly.
After some more small talk, Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi eventually turned into two streaks of light and left.
After sending everyone away, Li Fan found himself alone in the underground secret chamber.
Looking at the map and the Tai Yan Boat, he was full of mixed emotions.
After six rounds of reincarnation and over three hundred years of meticulous planning, the time has finally come.
These two items were his key to escaping the Immortal Realm and moving towards immortality!
...
The Eastern Ruin Abyss.
Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi stood in the air, looking back in the direction of Xuanjing.
"When we first intruded into this Immortal Realm, I thought that if we didn't die, we would be severely injured. But unexpectedly, we received such a blessing in disguise," Dao Xuanzi said calmly, as he felt the Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique within his storage ring.
Kou Hong nodded in agreement, then expressed a bit of regret: "That Li Fan is a rare talent. It's a pity his lifespan is running out; even if he gets back to the Immortal Cultivation World, he won't be able to live for many more years."
"If one does not achieve immortality, everything is in vain. Isn't that the very reason we fought so bitterly?" Dao Xuanzi responded indifferently.
"Speaking of which, what is this cultivation technique that Li Fan passed on to you?" Kou Hong suddenly became curious.
Rather than answering, Dao Xuanzi just laughed and said: "There's no way it's the same one as the one you have, right? Don't worry, after I go back and break through to the Golden Core Stage, I'll definitely do the three things I promised. You won't be short-changed."
Kou Hong didn't ask any further. He boasted excitedly, "Once I've also broken through, who in the Misthaven Mountain Range can rival the two of us brothers?"
"The fog defending the formation has not yet dissipated, are you brave enough to plunge in?" Dao Xuanzi suddenly looked up at the mist above the abyss and leaped in first.
Clearly, he couldn't wait to return to the Immortal Cultivation World to comprehend the technique.
"What is there to fear?" Kou Hong let out a huge laugh, and promptly followed him in.
