When I take my cultivation to the extreme

Chapter 115 Leaving the city, there is a spiritual stone, which is the kingdom of heaven on earth.

Li Fan saw that this Ziyi disciple looked familiar, as if he had met him in the sect, but there was no conversation.

"What does this senior brother have to say?" Li Fan asked.

"Haha, I am Zuo Junhui, the direct disciple of the head of Tianyuan Peak." Zuo Junhui announced his family name, "I have learned some information before. Junior Brother Li investigated the relationship with Li City through the inner disciple named Leng Yueyun. Is this the case?"

Li Fan looked at Zuo Junhui for a while and asked, "Senior brother, is this related to you?"

"It doesn't have much to do with me. I just want to convey a message to Junior Brother Li." Zuo Junhui said.

Zuo Junhui stared into Li Fan's eyes and said, "Junior Brother Li, if I understand correctly, you want to obtain the fragment of the Broken Universe Jade Ruler from Elder Li, right?"

"I advise you, it's best to give up this idea."

"Zuo's senior brother Jin Daosheng is the person most likely to become a Taoist disciple in the future. He has always been concerned about the fragments of the Broken Universe Jade Ruler. It is best for Junior Brother Li not to get involved in this matter."

"Furthermore, judging from your current state, junior brother, you can't use this broken jade ruler fragment. It's better to give up and stop making some unrealistic delusions."

"This is also for your own good. I also know the exchange conditions set by Elder Li. If you rush to Li City, you may not be able to achieve your goal, and you may even suffer losses."

"Junior Brother Li, you have outstanding alchemy talent. Senior Brother Jin has also heard about you. I still hope that you can use your talents and become the leading alchemist among Wandao Sect in the future. As for the fragment of Shattering Yu Jade Ruler, please don't get involved."

After hearing this, Li Fan's expression changed slightly, but a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Is this what Senior Brother Zuo means or what Senior Brother Jin means?" Li Fan asked.

"What I mean is that I don't need Senior Brother Jin to know about this little matter." Zuo Junhui said, "However, when I speak in the door, since I mention Senior Brother Jin, I can represent Senior Brother's opinions."

"Oh, I know." Li Fan nodded slightly.

"Then Junior Brother Li, are you not going to continue the mission of breaking the Yuyu Ruler fragments?" Zuo Junhui asked.

Li Fan said calmly: "I always have my own reasons for doing things. Firstly, I am not restricted by others, and secondly, I do not need to explain to others."

"The matter of the Broken Universe Jade Ruler fragment is a task that was announced publicly in the door. Whether to do it or not is my choice. I have no obligation to be responsible to Senior Brother Jin or Senior Brother Zuo."

"If Senior Brother Jin really wants it, then find a way to fulfill Elder Li's request. If you can do it better or faster than me, I will have no complaints. I can only admire Senior Brother Jin's methods and lament that his skills are inferior to others."

"But if you want me to change my mind after just a few words, I'm afraid I might be looking down on me, Li Fan."

Zuo Junhui was stunned when he heard this.

Zuo Junhui didn't expect Li Fan to be so assertive.

After a while, Zuo Junhui's expression became a little cold.

Zuo Junhui cupped his hands and said, "It seems that I have underestimated Junior Brother Li's will."

"I've said it, but if you don't listen, Junior Brother Li, that's not something I can do."

"I wish you success, Junior Brother Li."

Zuo Junhui's words were quite polite, but his tone was cold, and there was a hint that he was not optimistic about Li Fan's success.

Li Fan could hear Zuo Junhui's true meaning, but he didn't mind and said, "Then let me borrow the good words from Senior Brother Zuo."

Zuo Junhui nodded slightly, and without stopping or saying goodbye, the flying sword flew out and he left directly.

Li Fan chuckled.

This is a small friction. It's not a big deal. At most, it just lowers Zuo Junhui and Jin Daosheng's favorable impression of Li Fan.

Li Fan knows some information about Jin Daosheng.

Jin Daosheng's goal is very clear. He wants to become a Taoist disciple and take over the position of head of Wandao Sect in the future.

Because of such a goal, Jin Daosheng was relatively principled in his dealings within the sect, and his legendary reputation was fairly fair.

Even if Zuo Junhui was humiliated by Li Fan today, Daosheng Jin would not do anything.

However, this is invisible, urging Li Fan to make this trip a success.

Otherwise, in Zuo Junhui's eyes, Li Fan would be very arrogant and ignorant, and would be very embarrassed.

Li Fan doesn't particularly care about face, but he doesn't want to fail either.

"The rumors are indeed true. Jin Daosheng also likes the fragment of the Broken Universe Jade Ruler, but he has been busy and can't spare the energy or time to deal with this matter."

"Now I have broken into an empty door, and I have taken advantage of the timing."

"This time I go to Li City and strive to succeed. It's a small matter to save face. But I already know that Elder Li has the Tiangang magic weapon fragments. If I miss this opportunity, if I want to get the Tiangang magic weapon fragments to open the Beiliu Immortal Tomb later, I don't know if there are any. How difficult it is.”

"The Tiangang magic weapon in Bei Liuxian's tomb is extremely valuable, so no matter whether there is any resistance or how big the resistance is, we must fight for it this time." Li Fan thought to himself.

And on the other hand, Jin Daosheng's future in Wandao Sect is limitless, and his vision is also extremely high.

Jin Daosheng also wants this fragment of the Broken Universe Jade Ruler. It seems that this thing is really valuable and makes people want it more and more.

Li Fan suddenly smiled.

"I can get the Seven Earthly Evil Techniques in exchange for the fragments of the Broken Universe Jade Ruler. It would be best if I could open the Bei Liu Immortal Tomb. Even if this idea doesn't work, seeing how Jin Tao Sheng wants it so much, if I can't use it, I can sell the fragments of the Broken Universe Jade Ruler at a high price. Jin Daosheng is also a place to go.”

"It doesn't hurt either left or right."

Li Fan thought jokingly.

The Zijue Flying Sword flew out of his sword pouch.

Li Fan jumped onto the flying sword and headed northwest.

...

ten days later.

Within the territory of Zhen State.

Li Fan wields a sword and flies over the mountains.

The word Zhen means being sincere and moving the gods to gain blessings.

The country of Zhen was named this way precisely because the country respected ghosts and gods, with temples everywhere and frequent sacrifices.

However, the gods worshiped by the State of Zhen are not orthodox, but rather bizarre.

Among them is the Blood God.

Here, the Blood God Cult's influence is very far-reaching. Although it does not directly interfere with the secular forces, it still has a great influence on the secular world.

When Li Fan wielded his sword, he was thinking about this news.

At this time, he had changed out of the purple robe of a direct disciple of the Wandao Sect, and instead wore a blue Taoist robe.

Wandao Sect has great influence in the southeast of Tianyuan.

As a direct disciple of Wandao Sect, although you have many conveniences when you go out to do business, you have two sides of the same body. The bad side is that you are a big tree and attract the wind, and you can easily become the target and target of some hostile sects, especially when you are alone.

After all, it is difficult to guard against hidden arrows.

When Li Fan left the Zihua Mountain boundary, he changed his clothes and prepared to leave the city as a casual cultivator.

From a geographical point of view, Licheng belongs to the territory of Zhen State and is not far from Li Fan's current location.

When Li Fan was wielding his sword, suddenly, a red figure appeared on the horizon and flew quickly towards the trajectory of Li Fan's sword.

Li Fan frowned slightly.

The bright mirror and flowing armor on his body flashed, hiding and ready to go.

The red light flew towards him, and Li Fan saw clearly that the person coming was an old man wielding a red gourd magical weapon.

The old man's beard and hair are all white, and he has a smile on his face, which makes him look quite friendly.

This person's strength, which induces fluctuations in spiritual power, is in the middle stage of foundation building.

The old man in red approached Li Fan's sword. He stood on the five-foot-long gourd weapon and smiled at Li Fan and said hello.

"Fellow Taoist, I've invited you, the old Taoist monk Hu."

"Looking at the direction my fellow Taoist is going, it's Li City. Are you going to try your luck at the Demonic Disaster Battlefield?"

"I am also going to leave the city. I am alone and go with my Taoist friends. How about it?"

Li Fan didn't look sideways and said calmly: "Not interested."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Fan's flying sword suddenly accelerated and turned into a purple rainbow, surpassing Taoist Hu in an instant and leaving Taoist Hu far behind in the blink of an eye.

Taoist Hu's face was full of astonishment.

He tried hard to control the gourd weapon, but couldn't catch up.

Not long after, Li Fan's back disappeared into the sky.

The gentle face of Taoist Hu suddenly changed.

His face was full of sinister expression.

Suddenly, ice crystals seemed to break in the clouds above Taoist Hu. Three figures of monks suddenly appeared in the clouds. They were a monk, a woman in blue, and a girl who looked young and innocent.

These three people, using their own magical weapons, got close to the Hu Taoist.

"Where are the people? Why did they get decoupled?" the woman in blue asked.

"Humph, this man was very alert. He didn't say a word, and left with his flying sword." Taoist Hu snorted coldly, "Why is he so fast with the sword? He is only at the middle stage of foundation building, but I can't even Even the rainbow light from the tail of his sword can’t catch up!”

"Maybe it's because you didn't hide it well enough that someone noticed something." The woman in blue said.

"Forget it, there are a lot of people going to Licheng. Let's keep guard for a while. If we still can't open in the next few days, then we will also go to Licheng and go 'hunting' in the Demonic Disaster Battlefield." Taoist Hu said.

...

Li Fan controlled the flying sword, got rid of the Hu Taoist, and continued to leave the city.

He has no interest in saying hello to anyone.

When he goes out, no one knows the basics, so Li Fan will naturally not trust a strange monk.

The situation in the world of cultivating immortals is complicated. Who knows whether the person coming is a calamity cultivator.

When Li Fan went out this time, no friends in the sect were invited, let alone those he met by chance.

He controlled the flying sword and headed all the way to Licheng.

After half a day.

When the sun went down, Li Fan had arrived at the area where Li City was located.

Not long after, Li Fan had already seen Li Cheng.

Licheng is not far from the sea, but its location is surrounded by mountains.

In this kind of terrain, a city should not be built, but Li City itself is a city for cultivators, and it did not follow the principles of building a mortal city when it was built.

The city wall of Licheng is made of black boulders. Seen from the air, it is square and looks like a city carved out of a huge obsidian.

Li Fan compared Lincheng, Yangsu and other cities he had visited before, and he felt that Licheng was about one and a half times larger than Yangsu.

The city is so big that monks and mortals probably live together.

After all, many of the enjoyments and services provided by immortal cultivators have to be provided by mortals.

After arriving here, Li Fan had already felt that the spiritual power around him was very strange.

Spiritual energy and spiritual power are all present in the world, but they are very thin in some places and rich in some places.

Generally speaking, both spiritual energy and spiritual energy are very gentle and relatively evenly distributed in the space. Only when the technique is running will a spiritual energy vortex be condensed, causing the spiritual energy and spiritual energy to temporarily lose balance.

Whether it is Wangxian Island or Zihua Mountain, the difference is only in the richness of the spiritual energy, but there is no change in its nature.

But here in Licheng, it's completely different.After Li Fan entered this area, he felt that the spiritual energy here was a bit chaotic and 'irritable'.

The spiritual energy here is not as good as that of Ten Thousand Dao Sects, but it is still extremely rich. However, it is not evenly divided, but has turbulent currents. Sometimes it is extremely rich, even surpassing Zihua Mountain, and sometimes it suddenly becomes more intense. become thin.

Not only that, the feeling of spiritual energy is also very strange. The spiritual energy is active, but it has a kind of alien power, which allows people to fully absorb the spiritual energy and feel restless at the same time.

If the aura of Zihua Mountain is like fairy tea, the aura near Licheng is like strong liquor, or the kind of rough liquor that doesn't consider the stamina and taste.

However, the obsidian-like aura near Li City was like the aura surrounding Li City under suppression. The aura close to Li Cheng was much calmer and more suitable for cultivation.

Li Fan clicked his tongue in surprise.

"This city is built here, there should be some doorways."

He controlled the flying sword and fell down.

Li City is protected by a formation, and the formation will be activated by monks wielding their swords within a certain range above the city.

Li Fan came to do business and didn't want to violate the taboo of leaving the city.

He landed at the south gate of the city and walked forward.

At the city gate, there was a checkpoint. When they saw Li Fan coming, two monks in the Qi Refining Stage came over.

"Senior, I see that you are very unfamiliar. This is your first time to leave the city? Do you have a pass to leave the city?" A Dzogchen male cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage stopped Li Fan and asked in a polite tone.

"It's my first time here, is there anything special about it?" Li Fan asked.

The monks in the Qi Refining Stage were not afraid of the stage and said: "Senior, the monks who came here from Leaving the City want to enter the city. They need one hundred spirit stones in the Qi Refining Stage and three hundred spirit stones in the Foundation Building Stage. They need to apply for a Leaving City Monk Token."

"With this thing, you can freely enter and leave the city, and prepare various convenient places for monks in the city to enjoy the convenience of leaving the city."

"If we don't have the monk's token, it will be difficult to do things in Li City."

"There are formations everywhere to protect the city, as well as the monks' places in the city. Without the monks' tokens, it would be difficult to move forward."

When Li Fan heard this, he thought, "What a good guy."

He had heard that Lu Quan, the lord of Licheng City, had a good way of making money, but he never expected that entering the city would cost three hundred spirit stones.

The spiritual energy of Licheng is rich, making it a good place for cultivation. The monks who have lived here for a long time have at least three to four thousand Qi refining periods, and there are probably at least one or two hundred foundation-building monks.

Counting the monks who come here temporarily to do business and spend money, the number of monks can double or triple.

Just by selling monk tokens, Li Cheng could earn hundreds of thousands and close to one million spiritual stones.

Li Fan was not stingy with spiritual stones when he went out to do things.

"I'll get a monk's token." He said.

"Okay, please!" When he heard that Li Fan was applying for a token, the male cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage suddenly became excited.

The process of applying for a token is very fast. There are blank standard tokens. You only need to fill in some personal information and leave a mark on the token to activate it.

Male cultivators in the Qi refining stage are quite familiar with it, so Li Fan's token for leaving the city was ready in just a few minutes.

Li Fan took a look and saw that it was similar to the Wandao Sect disciple's token, except that the material was pure black and made of a stone containing spiritual power, which was inferior to the Wandao Sect's token.

"Haha, maybe the formation restrictions inside are all the same." Li Fan smiled in his heart.

The male cultivator in the Qi refining stage smiled at Li Fan and said, "Please, with the Licheng monk token, you can spend spiritual stones at any open monk facility in Licheng."

"I wish you, senior, good luck with your practice in Licheng, and wish you a happy trip."

Li Fan nodded slightly.

He took the token and entered the city.

Li Fan's purpose was to go to Licheng Fire House to find Yuan Shen, Luo Qing's old acquaintance.

Before coming to Li City, Li Fan also learned about the situation in Li City.

Lu Quan, the lord of Licheng City, was in the middle stage of Jindan cultivation. His wife, who was also the daughter of the old city lord, was in the early stage of Jindan cultivation.

In addition, there are three Jindan monks in the city, all of whom are in the early stage of Jindan.

Yuan Shen is one of them.

The Qinghuo Pavilion where Yuan Shen is located is somewhat similar to a sect, but it was established only a short time ago and was built by Yuan Shen.

Qinghuo Pavilion accounts for [-]% of the medicinal materials business in Licheng, and there are other businesses as well.

Before Li Fan wanted to go to the Demon Disaster Battlefield, he decided to meet Yuan Shen first.

The leader of the Yuan Palace is a local force in Licheng. He has a deeper understanding of the demonic disaster battlefield and can get some useful information.

Li Fan was walking in a crowd that was not too crowded, and when he was thinking about it, a black carriage drove up on the black stone road in front of him, which was wide enough to accommodate eight carriages.

The carriage stopped in front of Li Fan.

"Senior, where are you going?"

"Swords are not allowed in Li City. You can take my carriage."

"There is no charge for the carriage. Just use the token to touch the small formation inside. The Lord's Mansion in Licheng will give us spiritual stones."

The driver was a young man and a monk, but his level was not high, only at the second or third level of Qi Refining.

He said to Li Fan.

"Haha." Li Fan smiled.

He jumped onto the carriage.

"Qinghuo Pavilion." Li Fan said.

"Okay." The young monk rode the horse.

The horse pulling the carriage is quite impressive, and the carriage is brisk and gallops all the way.

"Senior, are you coming to Licheng to practice and buy magic weapons, or do you want to have some fun?" the young monk driving the carriage asked while driving his horse.

"Is there anything to say?" Li Fan asked in the carriage.

"It's nothing. I just feel that the senior doesn't have the temperament of a local from Licheng. He seems to be new here. I want to explain it to you." The young monk said.

"Haha, am I so worried?" Li Fan smiled and asked, "What is the difference between this city and other places?"

"It's really different." The young coachman replied, "Here in Licheng, as long as you have spiritual stones, you can buy and sell anything."

"If you want to practice, if the spiritual stones are in place, the golden elixir monks can come and teach you in person. If you want to buy magic weapons, there are many shops here with everything you need, including magic magic weapons, and even magic weapons from the Zhongzhou Continent sect across the sea. Special magical instruments are also available here."

"If you want to have some fun, there is Immortal Tea and Immortal Wine. If you have rich spirit stones, you can even find a Foundation-Building Female Cultivator from the Hehuan Sect to accompany you while drinking, or even dual cultivation."

"In Licheng, Lingshi can't buy anything but the city lord's seat. With Lingshi, this is heaven on earth. Without Lingshi, then..."

The young coachman said this, smiled and did not continue.

When Li Fan heard this, he understood in his heart.

"This Licheng is just a gold-selling cave for monks."

"It's quite in line with my previous feelings about the City Lord Lu Quan."

"It is said that the temperament of the person in power can affect the temperament of a force. The temperament of Li Cheng is probably that those with spiritual stones can do whatever they want."

"Haha, but this is also a rule set by those in power. What is more essential is their respective strength and cultivation level." Li Fan thought to himself.

He doesn't mind either.

Li Fan came here mainly to do business.

But after things were done, he didn't mind seeing if there was anything he needed in Li Cheng.

If Licheng is really like what the coachman said and can buy any spiritual stones, it will be quite beneficial to Li Fan.

He has accumulated quite a lot of spiritual stones in his hands over the years.

There was no words all the way, and after two sticks of incense, Li Fan arrived at the Qinghuo Pavilion.

This place occupies quite a large area, and the layout of the foyer is simple and solemn, making people stand in awe unconsciously.

Li Fan took a deep breath and walked in.

...

Qinghuo Pavilion.

The hall where the owner of the museum resides.

There is a red sandalwood square table and two chairs in the main seat, and there are four tables and eight chairs on each side.

Li Fan sat on the first row of chairs on the left, waiting for Yuan Shen.

Just now, Li Fan came to Qinghuo Pavilion and showed the jade token given by Luo Qing, saying he wanted to see Yuan Shen.

When the disciples of the Qinghuo Pavilion saw that Li Fan had reached the foundation-building stage and the jade tablet he took out had its origins, they did not dare to neglect him and introduced him to the hall of the main residence of the back hall.

While Li Fan was waiting, he suddenly saw a person coming.

This man was eight feet long, had a finger-long black beard, and had striking red phoenix eyes. He was wearing a purple robe and looked extremely noble.

He did not hide his spiritual power, but his strength at the golden elixir stage.

Li Fan knew it was Yuan Shen, so he stood up.

Yuan Shen walked into the hall.

Li Fan held his hand, showed all courtesy, and said hello.

"No need to be polite." Yuan Shen walked to the main seat, looked back at Li Fan, and said, "I was surprised that you came to me with this jade token."

"I only gave away two pieces of this thing in total. I gave your piece to Brother Luo Qing back then."

"Is it okay that he is at Wandaomen now?"

"Who is your identity, an elder or disciple of Wandao Sect?"

Li Fan thought about it and felt that there was nothing to hide.

"Master Yi Chaosheng." Li Fan said.

"Oh? Has Elder Yi actually accepted a disciple?" Yuan Shen asked as if he was familiar with the situation of Wandao Sect.

Li Fan explained a little bit.

Yuan Shen asked a few more details about the Wandao Sect, and Li Fan also told them one by one.

In this way, Yuan Shen finally confirmed that Li Fan was indeed a direct descendant of Wandao Sect, and came to him through Luo Qing's introduction.

And Li Fan also partially explained the purpose of this trip.

"Do you want to go to the Demonic Disaster Battlefield?" Yuan Shen frowned slightly and pondered.

After a while, Yuan Shen said: "The water in the Demonic Disaster Battlefield is very deep. I don't recommend you to go there, but you have traveled thousands of miles to come here. You must have your own purpose."

"I can't help you much. In the Demonic Disaster Battlefield, Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Stage monks can only go there, but Golden Pill monks can't go there."

"In this case, you take this thing first." Yuan Shen said, taking out a green jade slip from the storage bag.

Li Fan took it and scanned it with his consciousness.

His eyes suddenly lit up.

"Is this a map of the demon disaster battlefield?" Li Fan asked.
