The entire place was silent.
The people from the Cloud Pavilion stared at the Thunder Blade on the ground in a daze. They even thought that they were hallucinating.
"Pavilion Master … is gone?"
They could not believe it. A Golden Immortal was gone with a "duang" sound?
Not only that, but even a Postcelestial Treasure was reduced to such a state. It was not something so crazy even in one's dreams.
Just now … what kind of terrifying power was that?
"Sigh."
Pei An let out a long sigh and sighed. "I've already advised him. Why didn't he listen? Isn't it good to live well?"
They were not at all surprised by this outcome.
What was a Golden Immortal? In the eyes of the expert, he was probably not even an ant. He was the kind of trash that would disappear after a few games.
Gu Yuan stared at the remaining people. His eyes darkened slightly, and he was instantly filled with confidence. "Tell me, who sent you here!"
Auspicious clouds had already risen under the square-faced middle-aged man's feet. He was extremely frightened. Without hesitation, he turned and ran at lightning speed. "Everyone, retreat quickly. Leave it to fate!"
"Evil creature, where are you going?!"
…
In the courtyard house.
Li Nianfan was teaching Daji how to play the game.
"From easy to difficult. Did you see that? The lightning just now was slightly more complicated. I think you can start with the water wave that you arranged at the very beginning. Come, I'll cover it for you again."
As he spoke, he held little Daji's soft hand and began to slowly slide it along the game. The soft touch and faint body fragrance instantly made Li Nianfan's heart flutter.
He leaned on little Daji's body. Yes, it was so soft and so warm.
At first, Huo Feng stood at the side and observed. She carefully learned how to arrange the array. Later, she suddenly realized that she was the only one who was seriously learning. She was instantly attacked and silently left.
It was broad daylight. What kind of scandal was this? See no evil.
It was not until his hands felt a little tired that Li Nianfan reluctantly stopped teaching.
He was beginning to understand why the ancient emperors did not attend court early, and why they preferred beauties over their country.
At this moment, Daji looked at Li Nianfan and said, "Sir, I want to go out with Fairy Huo Feng."
"Going out again?"
Li Nianfan raised his eyebrows slightly. He couldn't help but think of the cow from last time. He couldn't help but say, "Little Daji, are you going to prepare another surprise for me? Actually, there's no need. Our family doesn't lack anything for the time being."
Daji pursed her lips and thought for a long time before she said softly, "Young Master, Fairy Huo Feng told me that … I can cultivate."
She had actually hesitated for a long time before saying this.
Her master seemed to want her to be by his side, so he treated her like a mortal from the beginning. However, she felt like she was just a vase, following her master to eat and drink without any use. Now that the situation was getting more and more tense, she wanted to do more things for her master.
If she continued to be a mortal, many things would be inconvenient. Therefore, she chose to test him.
After saying this, she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Nianfan.
Because she didn't know what her master was thinking, she was afraid that her master would be angry.
Li Nianfan was silent.
From the moment he picked up Daji, he had been avoiding a question.
That was, he took it for granted that Daji didn't have spiritual roots like him, and could live a mortal life with him for the rest of their lives.
He even knew so many cultivators and immortals, but deliberately avoided asking Daji if she could cultivate. He was even more afraid that others would mention it.
He didn't dare to think about what would happen to him once Daji embarked on the path of cultivation.
However, the question still came.
I knew that a girl as beautiful as Daji would most likely be able to cultivate. Her aptitude might even be very high. If she was placed in a cultivation sect, she would definitely be a Saintess.
Li Nianfan was a little upset. The reason why he avoided it was because he knew that once Daji embarked on the path of cultivation, he and she would become people of two different worlds.
Even if Daji was willing to follow him, he would find it difficult to accept.
Daji saw that Li Nianfan didn't speak for a long time, and her eyes immediately turned red. She hurriedly said in a trembling voice, "Young Master, I'm sorry. I can still continue to be a mortal."
"Little fool, since you can cultivate, why be a mortal?"
Li Nianfan restrained his sadness and said with a smile, "I delayed you before. When you succeed in cultivating, I still expect you to protect me."
Daji nodded seriously and said, "Young Master, don't worry. Daji will definitely protect Young Master forever."
Li Nianfan laughed and then asked, "When are you going to leave?"
"When does Young Master want me to leave?"
Li Nianfan pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't you leave after I teach you how to play the game?"
Daji said obediently, "En, I'll listen to Young Master."
In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
In these five days, Li Nianfan and little Daji lived a happy life together. Li Nianfan didn't say anything, but he cherished it very much in his heart.
If Daji succeeded in cultivating and even became an immortal, how could he get along with her like this? There would be estrangement in the end.
The only thing that Li Nianfan was glad about was that little Daji was cultivating with Huo Feng. If she joined a sect, then she really wouldn't be able to eat or drink.
Li Nianfan sent Daji and Huo Feng to the entrance of the courtyard and said, "Fairy Huo Feng, I'll have to trouble you to take care of little Daji. I heard that ghosts and monsters have been running rampant recently, and strange phenomena have been appearing frequently in the sky. It's definitely not peaceful."
Huo Feng nodded. "Don't worry."
Daji said to Li Nianfan, "Young Master, I'm leaving."
In her hand, the little fox blinked and waved its paw at Li Nianfan.
"Go." Li Nianfan waved his hand and pretended to be relaxed.
It wasn't until Daji left that Li Nianfan sighed and sat on the stool in a daze.
Little Daji would be gone for a long time. When she returned, if she really became an immortal, what would he do?
At this moment, Dahei ran over and came to Li Nianfan's feet. The dog's head rubbed against Li Nianfan's trousers like a spoiled child.
"Woof, woof, woof." (Master, you still have me. I'm not cultivating. I'm just an ordinary dog.) “
Let me be alone. "
Li Nianfan rubbed Dahei's head hard and shook his head. "Go away. A single dog like you won't understand my feelings."
After a moment, Li Nianfan suddenly stood up.
"No, I have to cultivate!"
A trace of determination flashed in his eyes. It was unprecedented determination.
Why else would it be said that women were a man's motivation?
In the past, when Li Nianfan knew that there was no hope, he simply gave up. He only wanted to live the rest of his life in peace. Now, for a woman, he wanted to do everything he could to cultivate.
Immediately, he asked Xiao Bai to go to the backyard and call Nanna and Long 'er over.
Nanna ran over. "Brother Nianfan, you called for us?"
Li Nianfan's face was serious. He looked at Nanna and asked, "Nanna, can you cultivate your devouring technique without spiritual roots?"
Nanna tilted her head and thought for a while. "My technique devours spiritual energy. Only the body with spiritual roots can contain spiritual energy."
This answer was equivalent to a disguised denial.
"Long 'er, do you demons have techniques? Do you also need spiritual roots? "Li Nianfan was desperate. His hope was infinitely close to zero.
As expected, Long 'er held his chin and shook his head. "Every demon cultivates a different technique. If a human cultivates a demon's technique, he will die."
This answer was even more extreme.
Li Nianfan frowned.
Long 'er raised his hand. "Brother, I know how mortals can become immortals."
Li Nianfan's eyes lit up. "Tell me."
Long 'er started counting with his fingers.
"Eat peaches of immortality."
"Eat elixirs."
"Directly enter the Investiture of the Gods."
'Fine, do you think this is' Journey to the West 'or' Investiture of the Gods'? '
Li Nianfan rolled his eyes.
However, his heart skipped a beat.
In the Investiture of the Gods, there were indeed many mortals who were directly conferred titles and became immortals. As long as they entered the Heavenly Palace, they would become gods and directly cultivate.
Unfortunately, this cultivation world did not have the Heavenly Palace, not to mention the so-called Investiture of the Gods.
However …
There was no Heavenly Palace here, but there was the Underworld!
If he could get an official position in the Underworld, wouldn't that be the same as becoming an immortal? It could even be considered a disguised form of immortality?
He kept pacing back and forth in the courtyard. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
Previously, he only thought about being soaked in the River Styx after death. Why didn't he think that he could be an official in the Underworld!
Did being an official of the Underworld require spiritual roots? It … shouldn't be.
Now that he found a way, he finally saw hope.
Li Nianfan's heart thumped, full of enthusiasm.
His eyes instantly lit up. He looked at Nanna and Long'Er and asked, "Nanna, Long'Er, what's your cultivation level now? Are you powerful?"
At the mention of cultivation level, Nanna instantly became excited. She said proudly, "Powerful, Brother Nianfan. I'm very powerful. Although I'm only in the middle stage of the Spirit Severing stage, I can defeat ten people in the Form Synthesis stage! This is not even considered my Dharma treasure. "
"Hehe, I'm in the late stage of the Mahayana stage. I'm stuck. However, I'm not afraid of immortals." Long'Er grinned and even glanced at Nanna. She was very proud.
"So powerful." Li Nianfan was delighted. With the two of them accompanying him, his safety should not be a problem.
Nanna could devour spiritual energy. Long'Er was a demon and had the backing of the carp demon family. In addition, they would receive guidance from Huo Feng and immortals. He did not expect them to grow so quickly.
However … this was a good thing.
Li Nianfan did not hesitate at all. He said directly, "Pack up. I'll bring you out."
Long'Er and Nanna's eyes instantly lit up. "Really? Go out and play? "
"Oh, oh, oh …"
Without waiting for Li Nianfan to nod, they already could not wait and happily packed up their things.
Blackie looked at Li Nianfan expectantly and wagged its tail. "Woof, woof, woof."
Li Nianfan thought for a moment and looked at Blackie's physique. "Alright, I'll bring you along too."
Blackie was still very strong. If they encountered a strong enemy, it could still bring up the rear at a critical moment. Every bit of time counted.
Nanna suddenly walked out of the room and said, "Oh right, Brother Nianfan, there's a beautiful gourd growing on the gourd vine in the backyard."
"A gourd grew?"
Li Nianfan immediately walked to the backyard.
The gourd vine had already grown very long. It wrapped around the trunk of the small tree.
On the gourd vine, a purple-gold gourd hung there. It shone brightly under the sunlight and looked very dazzling.
The gourd was the size of two palms. It was just the right size and looked very good. It was obviously a high-end product.
This time, they were going out to look for a way to become an immortal. They might have to deal with some big bosses. The quality of this wine gourd was barely enough to be shown to others.
Li Nianfan very professionally plucked the gourd. After some simple processing, it was made into a wine gourd.
After careful consideration, Li Nianfan chose to bring the wine out. He was worried that drinking white wine would cause problems.
"Xiao Bai, take care of the house. I'll leave the chickens and cows at home to you."
"Don't worry, my honorable master."
Everything was ready. With a creak, the door of the four-part architecture closed. The three people and one dog embarked on their journey.
This time, Li Nianfan's goal was very clear. He was going to look for ghosts.
He wanted to get in touch with the underworld. At the same time, he wanted to find a way to cultivate without spiritual roots.
Comparing the two, looking for ghosts was more reliable.
After leaving the Fallen Immortal Mountain, Li Nianfan did not rush on. Instead, he went to the Fallen Immortal City to find out more information.
Of course, Li Nianfan would try his best to avoid this kind of behavior.
After entering the Fallen Immortal City, Li Nianfan said, "Nanna, do you want to go and say hi to Auntie Zhang? We're going to go on a long trip this time."
"Oh, okay. Brother Nianfan, you can't leave me behind. You have to bring me along," Nanna said worriedly.
Li Nianfan shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "What kind of person do you think I am?"
Then, they went to the market with ease.
The fish shop owner's business was booming as usual. When he saw Li Nianfan, he smiled. "Young Master Li, long time no see. Are you here to buy fish?"
Li Nianfan shook his head and said, "No, I want to go on a long trip. I heard that many places are haunted?"
"That's right!"
The fish shop owner's face turned serious. "This is not a joke. Even our Fallen Immortal City was haunted not long ago. It's too scary. Luckily, we had the help of the Immortals. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened."
The fish shop owner reminded him, "Why do you want to go on a long trip at this time? It's not appropriate!"
Li Nianfan smiled. "I have no choice. I have to go. Do you know which places are haunted? I'll try my best to avoid them."
"Southwest!" The fish shop owner blurted out without thinking.
Li Nianfan asked, "Why?"
"War!" The fish shop owner's face was still filled with fear. "Too many people died there. Naturally, the ghosts would like to go there. I heard that an entire city of people died there. Ghosts are everywhere. Even the Immortals don't dare to provoke them. No merchant group dares to go there anymore."
Li Nianfan nodded. "I understand. Thank you for telling me."
He was right to ask. That was the place!
The haunting was so serious. There would definitely be Reapers going there.
"Oh yes, Young Master Li." The fish shop owner reminded him seriously. "If you go on a long trip, it's best to buy some talismans or jade pendants to ward off ghosts. They can at least ward off the wandering ghosts."
"Hahaha, okay." Li Nianfan laughed.
No wonder he saw so many stalls selling these things along the way. He didn't expect that the appearance of the Underworld would give rise to such a huge business opportunity.
However, he didn't know if these talismans and jade pendants would be useful. Li Nianfan felt that his drawing was not as good as his.
