Chapter 71: Chapter 70: Seeking Nascent Soul Technique

Translator: 549690339

Listening to He Zhenghao’s explanations,

Li Fan saw in front of him a figure that seemed to overlap with that of the cultivator who had saved the Leaving World group when he first entered the Immortal Cultivation World in his previous life.

“Ah, so it’s you who’s been playing the thief under the guise of the watchdog! No wonder the Tianbao Building has been able to conduct its smuggling business right under your nose without any problems. Even in the last lifetime, the rumors of Tianbao Building smuggling mortals were known by all on the island, and yet there was never any trouble.”

Thinking carefully, it did make sense.

Given He Zhenghao’s greedy nature, how could he possibly allow others to get a piece of the pie that was right under his nose?

Makes perfect sense.

Li Fan was rendered somewhat speechless in his heart, but he soon accepted this reality.

Seeing that Li Fan had no objections, He Zhenghao immediately became excited: “It’s simple. All you need to do is run an errand for me to the Leaving

World and bring back the supplies I had the people there gather ten years ago.” “After selling those supplies, we’ll split the contribution equally.”

“I need to guard Liuli Island and can’t get away. I had originally planned to cooperate with others, but when you contacted me, I decided to reach out to you instead.”

After contemplating, it didn’t seem like there was any risk to this task.

A thousand plus contribution points in thirty days, it’s far more than the average tasks one can accept.

“I wonder how long it would take for a round trip?” He needed to clarify this in advance. Li Fan didn’t want to miss the opening of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters.

“Rest assured, it will take no more than twenty or thirty days. It won’t hold up your cultivation practice.” He Zhenghao assured.

“Fine, I accept this task.”

He Zhenghao smiled in satisfaction and pulled out a small wooden boat to give to Li Fan: “Once you get the supplies, give this to the mortals in the Leaving World. Don’t bother about anything else.”

Upon receiving it, Li Fan noticed that the wooden boat was somewhat similar to the Tai Yan Boat, but nowhere near as exquisite.

“It’s merely a regular wooden boat with a few Array Technique engraved. It’s not a magic tool. However, it is enough to protect those mortals as they cross the Immortal Forbiddance Formation to get here.” He Zhenghao explained.

“Of course, the strength of the array only supports a single crossing. After reaching the Immortal Cultivation World, the array on the boat will exhaust its energy and disperse.”

“This is just to prevent those mortals from making copies.”

“Daoist He has thought this through very well.” Li Fan said insincerely.

He Zhenghao gave a hearty laugh, but didn’t take it to heart.

He then took out a spirit symbol and handed it to Li Fan somewhat reluctantly.

“Regardless, the act of assisting mortals in their illegal immigration is still not something that can be publicly admitted. In case other cultivators stumble upon it, not only will it be a loss of face, but you might also have to face the criticism of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. For the sake of caution, it’s best for you to keep this Invisible Talisman on you to avoid being recognized. ”

Li Fan naturally nodded and accepted.

“This Invisible Talisman can hide your figure and aura. It’s an advanced version of the Concealing Talisman. Once used, even a Golden Core Realm Cultivator can’t see through it. It’s a must-have item for cultivators…”

“It’s an essential item for us cultivators when we go out.” He Zhenghao hesitated for a moment, then added somewhat regretfully: “Unfortunately, the Spirit Mist Grass required to make this Invisible Talisman is quite rare, which keeps the price of the talisman high.”

“One would cost 50 contribution points.”

“However, in the future if you need it, you can find a cultivator called Jiao

Xiuyuan on the Ten Thousand Immortals Island. He has a lot of inferior Invisible Talismans which are said to be the rejects from the island’s Talisman Hall. Although they are called inferior, they can still be used normally.

However, their effectiveness isn’t good and can only fool Foundation

Establishment Cultivators. ”

“The good thing is they are cheap, only 20 contribution points. You should prepare some if you plan on going out.” He Zhenghao tirelessly shared his Imowledge with Li Fan.

Afterwards, he gave a detailed account of all the things to be cautious of while heading to the Leaving World and the various possible encounters.

After that, everything was ready, and Li Fan prepared to set out for the Leaving World.

With the intention of making the trip as quick as possible.

However, before setting off, Li Fan couldn’t help but ask, “Daoist He, there’s something I’ve been wondering about, but I’m not sure if I should ask…”

He Zhenghao was stunned, then replied: “Please feel free to ask.”

“Daoist He, being a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, in charge of Liuli Island and an expert in Array Technique, logically, you shouldn’t be short on contribution points. Why…”

…do you still appear to be somewhat embarrassed?” Li Fan pondered for a moment, then delicately asked.

He Zhenghao thought that Li Fan was worried about his future in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

He gave a bitter smile and explained, “You misunderstand. Inside the Alliance, although Foundation Establishment Cultivators still do not have ultimate freedom over their contribution points, none are as bad as me.” “Oh? Does Daoist He have some secret hardship?” Li Fan asked in surprise.

“Truth be told, I set my sights on a Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique. This technique is incredibly compatible with my Foundation Establishment Strange Object. If I could practice this technique, I would definitely be able to achieve Gold Core within a hundred years, and even the Nascent Soul Realm would be almost guaranteed.” A glint of desire flashed in He Zhenghao’s eyes.

“Unfortunately, the Nascent Soul True Technique is extremely rare. I’ve been saving for a long time, but I’m still lacking in necessary contribution points.”

“So, I have to economize wherever possible.” He sighed deeply, “Even so, I don’t Imow when I’ll be able to exchange for it.”

“I also don’t know if the technique I’ve been longing for will be exchanged by someone else before then.”

He Zhenghao sighed again.

Then as if he thought of something, he said to Li Fan: “Right, you’re now in the final stage of refining energy. When selecting a Foundation Establishment

Method, if you can do so, remember to choose one that is compatible with your Foundation Establishment Strange Object. This will not only make your cultivation practice more effective, but will also bring you other benefits. Due to the constraints of the Tianxuan Mirror, I can’t tell you too much about it. Just keep this in mind, you can’t go wrong.”

“A Foundation Establishment Strange Object compatible with the cultivation technique, huh…” Having heard this, Li Fan nodded slowly.

Then, he heard He Zhenghao sigh: “In fact, the cultivation technique I’m practicing now is also quite extraordinary. It’s something I stumbled upon while exploring a nameless cave mansion in my youth. It contains all kinds of incredible methods.”

“Unfortunately, the difficulty of cultivation is just too high. It often takes decades or even hundreds of years to make a slight improvement.”

“The Foundation Establishment stage is already so difficult, if I continued to cultivate this method in the Golden Core stage, my lifespan would run out before I could breakthrough, resulting in the loss of my Dao.”

“The change in cultivation method is truly a last resort.” Having said this, He Zhenghao fell into a deep silence.

Listening to this, Li Fan bowed and set off towards the Leaving World.

Watching the retreating figure of Li Fan, He Zhenghao sighed again.

He actually still had something to say.

Surely, he could benefit from helping junior cultivators to make progress, but…

Cultivation is just too difficult.

Over the years, he had spread out his net wide and helped beginners. The majority of them, however, perished without even reaching the Foundation Establishment stage after only a short while.

Meeting a prodigy like Li Fan, who was already in the final stage of refining energy at such a young age, was indeed a stroke of heavenly luck.

After all, how many prodigies could there be in the world, just waiting for him to stumble upon them?
