Chapter 91

Returning to Ten Thousand Immortal Island through the传送阵, Li Fan discovered that the news of the Yunshuitian Palace's appearance had already spread.

《Quick Look! A Mysterious Sect Sealed for a Thousand Years Reappears in the World》, 《Gentle Senior Brother Attempts Improper Conduct at Midnight...》, 《Top Secret Information, 10 Contribution Points per Copy, Fair to All》

...

At first, it was the information sold by Jiao Xiuyuan, which only covered the first test of the Qin Hall trial.

However, due to it being first-hand information, it still sold at a high price of 30 contribution points per copy.

Jiao Xiuyuan made a substantial profit from this.

However, as survivors continued to return from the Yunshuitian Palace, information about this mysterious sect's ruins gradually became more detailed.

The prices also dropped sharply.

Of course, since the first explorers were limited, the information currently circulating on the market was still limited to the Qin Hall stone statues and a few other peculiarities.

The deeper areas of the Yunshuitian Palace, such as the Beast Cultivation Tower and the Taiyi Hall, were still a blank slate.

Li Fan shook his head, returned to the Tianxuan Mirror, and began to tally his gains from this trip.

The "Yunshui Illusion Dream Technique" taught by the Qin Hall, the Chong Dao's insect-binding skill, and the "Yunshui Map."

And the "Dinghai Divine Sword," "Steal the Sky and Replace the Sun Technique," and the Steal the Sky and Replace the Sun Token obtained from Sikong Yi.

Currently, he had already cultivated the "Thousand Mechanisms Jade Ring Golden Chapter," "Mingling Illusion Technique," and "Shadow Following Technique."

Greed is not good; he needed to choose which of these new techniques to cultivate.

The insect-binding skill was a natural talent and did not require cultivation.

The "Yunshui Illusion Dream Technique" had countless uses. It would be very useful for Li Fan's future plans, so he had to cultivate it.

The "Steal the Sky and Replace the Sun Technique" could be cultivated, but...

Li Fan's divine sense swept over the Steal the Sky and Replace the Sun Token in his storage ring.

The method to refine an avatar could be tried.

As for the technique created by Sikong Yue to convert one's life essence into the Steal the Sky and Replace the Sun Token, there was no need to cultivate it.

In Li Fan's view, Sikong Yue's survival method was far from perfect.

At least, if someone like Li Fan could trap both his main body and avatar, and then continuously kill them, the so-called resurrection would just be a joke.

In this world, when it came to survival, what could be stronger than his "Return to Truth"?

There was no need to abandon the fundamental for the trivial.

Moreover...

Looking at the slightly eerie, almost living token, Li Fan had a faint premonition.

"Steal the Sky and Replace the Sun. Who is really replacing whom? It's hard to say."

"There's no need to take this risk. I'll put it aside for now and verify it later if there's an opportunity."

"The 'Dinghai Divine Sword' can be cultivated all the way to the Golden Core stage. When fully cultivated, one can condense 108 Dinghai Swords in the dantian."

"Against a single opponent, one can release 108 swords simultaneously; against a group, one can form the Dinghai Sword Array. It is a top-notch combat technique."

"It has considerable power, but there's no rush to cultivate it."

"It has been 12 years since the anchoring. In the previous life, the Red Flame Burning the Sea occurred 31 years after the anchoring. I was hesitant about whether to participate in this major event. With the current opportunities, if I use my avatar and the Yunshui Illusion Dream Technique, even if my main body flees to a distant continent, I might still be able to stir up some trouble in the Congyun Sea."

...

In an instant, various plans flashed through Li Fan's mind. After a long time, he put them aside for now.

He took out the small, colorful model from his storage ring and examined it carefully.

"If this thing wasn't obtained directly from Taiyi, I wouldn't believe it was the legendary 'Yunshui Map.' After studying it, I still can't see its secrets," Li Fan sighed.

"Perhaps it really contains secrets, but if I can't decipher them, it's no different from garbage. It's best to exchange it for 100,000 contribution points."

"However, if I submit it myself, it would be too conspicuous. I should first refine my avatar."

Li Fan checked his current contribution points.

To deal with Sikong Yi, he had almost spent all his contribution points.

He only had a little over 500 points left.

Fortunately, most of the materials needed to refine an avatar were not too expensive.

Supreme Bone, Heavenly Spirit Milk, Broken Bone Treasure Tendon...

Li Fan purchased them one by one.

When his contribution points were down to 135, he had bought all the materials except for the last one, Heavenly Crystal Spirit Sand.

According to Sikong Yi's memory, the Heavenly Crystal Spirit Sand could be collected from a certain place in the Congyun Sea.

Li Fan then activated the auxiliary cultivation mode and began to cultivate the "Steal the Sky and Replace the Sun Technique."

The "Steal the Sky and Replace the Sun Technique" was somewhat similar to Li Fan's main cultivation technique, the "Thousand Mechanisms Jade Ring Golden Chapter."

The "Thousand Mechanisms Jade Ring Golden Chapter" cultivated qi, while the "Steal the Sky and Replace the Sun Technique" stole life force.

Both qi and life force were mysterious and hard to sense, but they truly existed.

With the enhancement of the Spirit Enlightenment, Li Fan spent three days cultivating it to the middle Qi Condensation stage.

His contribution points were down to a pitiful 35.

Since the "Steal the Sky and Replace the Sun Technique" could refine an avatar at the middle Qi Condensation stage, he stopped cultivating.

With the materials, Li Fan left Ten Thousand Immortal Island through the传送阵 and arrived at Lingyun Island in the western sea of the Congyun Sea.

The place where the Heavenly Crystal Spirit Sand was located was not far from Lingyun Island.

After greeting the guardian of Lingyun Island, Li Fan casually activated the Concealment Talisman and flew toward the location in his memory.

After several days, he stopped at a sea surface filled with large and small whirlpools, then dived into the sea.

The water here was relatively shallow, and he reached the bottom after only 300 to 400 meters.

Everywhere were the ruins of collapsed buildings, which should be a relic.

The scale of the relic was quite large, and one could imagine its former prosperity.

However, it was unknown why it had sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Such relics were common throughout the Congyun Sea, and Li Fan did not find them strange.

After all, when Li Fan first arrived in the Congyun Sea, he had heard about the devastation caused by storms, which had sunk hundreds of islands.

Coming to a large, tilted square stone, Li Fan squeezed through the gap between the stones.

Inside, it was like a dark cave, with hundreds of glowing jellyfish drifting around.

They looked like moving stars.

The cave floor was covered with fine, glittering sand.

In the center of the cave, a large stone had been hollowed out, becoming a home for the jellyfish.

The glowing sand on the ground was, of course, the Heavenly Crystal Spirit Sand.

Li Fan collected the Heavenly Crystal Spirit Sand from the ground and looked at the large stone, marveling at the wonders of nature.

This place was discovered by Sikong Yi by chance.

The large stone in the center was just an ordinary Heavenly Spirit ore.

However, after being consumed and digested by the unknown jellyfish, it had transformed into the precious material, Heavenly Crystal Spirit Sand.

It was truly incredible.

After all, even a Foundation Establishment alchemist would need considerable time to refine the Heavenly Crystal Spirit Sand.
