Chapter 349: 326: Obtaining an Immortal Second Generation
“This was an unavoidable accident. Who could have guessed that this somewhat mad old man would be related to a broken sword in the Misthaven Ocean thousands of miles away?”
Reflecting on every scene of his interaction with the Fisherman, Li Fan realized that although the Fisherman’s sudden appearance had startled him.
Nevertheless, the peril involved in interacting with him pales in comparison to that of previous encounters with the Celestial Doctor.
Even the oppressive feeling that the Black Robed Unity Cultivator from Yuandao State gave Li Fan was far stronger than the elderly Fisherman.
Was the Fisherman’s power not comparable to that of the Black Robed Unity Cultivator?
Li Fan didn’t think so.
The master of the Sky Slaughter Sword is certainly far superior to ordinary Integration Cultivators.
Even if he has become mad and lost his memory for some unnamable reason, he should not be underestimated.
But the feeling he gave Li Fan was so unique.
In the process of interacting with him, he didn’t feel as if he was talking to a powerful Unity Immortal Monarch at all.
It was rather like having a conversation with an ordinary and kind elder.
Barring his own psychological factors, he didn’t feel the slightest sense of oppression.
As for why this was…
Li Fan squinted slightly.
“Did the old Fisherman also forget the fact that he was a supreme being?”
Li Fan had a faint suspicion that this might indeed be the case.
There might be some secrets behind this, but it should not be far from the truth.
“Such high-level beings like the Fisherman, roaming aimlessly in the heartland of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals while being insane, poses extreme danger.”
“If he Suddenly goes crazy and starts rampaging, the destruction caused might not be less than another Celestial Spirit State War.”
“Regardless, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals has turned a blind eye and did not expel him.”
“There must be a profound reason behind this.”
“The water is too deep. I better not interact with him until I have grown.”
His thoughts gradually calmed, and Li Fan looked again at the unconscious female cultivator from Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
She had a beautiful face; while not a national beauty, she was definitely a beauty.
She looked quite young, but the appearance of a cultivator doesn’t correlate with their age.
She might even be older than Li Fan.
Because Li Fan couldn’t discern this woman’s specific realm.
This indicates either she had a treasure protecting her body and concealing her aura.
Or her strength far exceeded Li Fan’s, and she was at least in the Nascent Soul Realm or the God Transforming Cultivation Level.
“This woman is of great use to me? What does that mean?”
Li Fan was unsure of what the Fisherman discerned, but reckoned that he would not make baseless claims.
Taking the female cultivator with him, Li Fan stealthily departed from the hollowed-out mountain.
He flew for a while before reaching a clearing in a forest and put the female cultivator down.
Then he tried to wake her up.
But to his surprise, Li Fan was unable to wake her up despite attempting several different methods.
“It seems the Fisherman slapped her quite hard.”
Without knowing the identity of the female cultivator, Li Fan didn’t take any rash actions.
He merely guarded her quietly on one side.
While cultivating, he waited for her to awaken.
Two days later, the female cultivator let out a whimper and finally woke up.
She sat up and looked around, her expression somewhat befuddled.
Taking a look at Li Fan sitting quietly at one side, she was somewhat puzzled.
“You are…”
“I am Li…” Before Li Fan could finish his sentence.
The female cultivator seemed to have suddenly remembered something and her face turned pale with fear.
She screamed and, forgetting to stand up, started crawling back on her hands while repeatedly saying, “Don’t come near me!”
Li Fan’s expression darkened, swallowing his words.
He looked solemn and infused some spiritual power into his voice, sounding as thunderous as ever, he coldly said, “Fellow cultivator, please calm down!”
Oddly enough, it seemed as if she had been stunned into stillness by Li Fan’s furious shout.
The female cultivator indeed stopped moving, frozen in place.
However, for some unknown reason, the expression of fear on her face intensified.
“It seems she’s not an extremely powerful cultivator,” Li Fan concluded internally.
Doing his best to put on a friendly face, Li Fan gently asked, “May I know your name? And why were you caught by the old Fisherman?”
The female cultivator showed a face uglier than crying, clearly unwilling.
Yet, her mouth opened and closed, continually saying, “My name is Lu Xuejing. I had heard rumors about the old Fisherman and was very interested.”
“Not long ago, I learned that he appeared near Tianyu Province. My mother has been unusually busy with official duties recently and has been rare in monitoring me closely.”
“So, I sneaked out to find the old Fisherman.”
“I happened to see a cultivator exchanging a rusty piece of iron for a Technique.”
“I became interested and wanted to try it.”
“Who knew that the old man would ignore me. I was so angry that I cursed at him.”
“Then…”
“I felt a sudden darkness before my eyes, as if I was shut in a small, dark place.”
With an extremely wronged expression, Lu Xuejing had tears streaming down her face.
Her body was slightly shaking, seemingly sobbing.
But she continued speaking very steadily.
“When I woke up, I found myself here.”
Li Fan took note of Lu Xuejing’s strange and contradictory actions.
He felt suspicious, “I just casually asked. Didn’t she provide too much detail?”
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, Li Fan’s expression became somewhat strange.
“I won’t take your things for free.”
“Well, I seem to have something here that will be of great use to you.”
The words of the old Fisherman echoed in his ears. To validate his own guess, Li Fan said, “Fellow cultivator, please stand.”
As soon as she heard him, Lu Xuejing stood up.
Li Fan pondered for a moment, and then asked, “How old are you now? What’s your cultivation level? What Technique are you practicing?”
It was extremely rude to ask these questions of a stranger.
It would have been considered extremely restrained if the other party just left, and there was a possibility that a fight could break out on the spot.
However, Lu Xuejing, completely disregarding the courtesy of refusal and unhurriedly answered Li Fan’s questions.
“I’m twenty-three years old, in the final stage of Foundation Establishment, and the Technique I practice is the ‘Dual Qi Illumination, All Heavens Annihilation’ as prepared by my mother.”
She answered truthfully to the question, but Lu Xuejing’s fearful expression became even more pronounced.
At the same time, she looked at Li Fan, a fleeting spark of resentment in her eyes.
The moment he heard the name of the Technique, Li Fan’s heart throbbed.
He then realized, “So she’s an Immortal Second Generation who hasn’t had much experience with the dangers of the world. She snuck out because she was curious, showed disrespect to the Fisherman, and got caught.”
“Afterward, she was traded as an item to me.”
“Does this mean that this spoiled Immortal Second Generation is now my possession?”
