My Simulated Longevity

"Fellow Daoist Jiao, is this a loss-making business again?" Li Fan joked.

When Jiao Xiu saw a guest coming, his angry face instantly turned into a smile.

But after hearing Li Fan's teasing, his face suddenly darkened.

He said sarcastically: "As for you, fellow Taoist, I, Jiao, will never make a loss-making business."

Then, he gritted his teeth and whispered: "This kid actually dares to play tricks on me. He really thinks that I, Jiao Xiuyuan, is easy to bully, right..."

Li Fan seemed to have heard him say this more than once, and he laughed without saying a word.

Looking at the small cauldron on the table, he turned to ask: "Fellow Daoist Jiao, this small cauldron is..."

Jiao Xiuyuan's eyes lit up and he immediately introduced Li Fan enthusiastically: "This small tripod is incredible. I spent a lot of hard work to find it from the ruins of a ruined sect."

"Oh? I wonder what this small tripod is used for?" Li Fan became interested. Most of the objects that have survived the catastrophe and been handed down to this day are not simple.

"Fellow Taoist, do you know the famous Yaowang Sect?" Jiao Xiuyuan said mysteriously.

"Never heard of it." Li Fan shook his head.

Jiao Xiuyuan's smile suddenly froze.

Fortunately, he had strong professionalism and immediately started explaining for Li Fan.

"The Medicine King Sect is also one of the famous sects in ancient times. It has always been famous for refining elixirs and nourishing medicines."

"It is said that after the Immortal Master taught the Dharma, before the great calamity came, Liu Ruchen, the leader of the Medicine King Sect at that time, had a vague premonition that a great change might be coming in the world."

"So, Liu Ruchen, with an extremely tough attitude, led the entire Yaowang Sect, used the Yaowang Cauldron as a boat, opened the void, broke through the boundary and left."

This was the first time Li Fan heard such an anecdote: "Breaking through the boundary and leaving? Where did they go?"

Jiao Xiuyuan shrugged: "Thousands of years ago, who can know? It's possible that I went to a small world around me, or maybe I went to a brand new world. Anyway, that's not the point."

"The key point is this tripod!"

Li Fan nodded slightly, but his clone Lin Fan quickly searched for the keyword: "World".

Relevant information immediately emerged.

It's worth a lot of money, and it actually requires more than a thousand contribution points.

Buy it, read it.

Long ago, immortal cultivators had already established a basic worldview.

The world of immortality that we are in now is not the only world that exists.

Not only around the world, there are many attached small worlds and miniature independent caves.

Outside of the endless void, there are other existences similar to our world.

Before the Great Tribulation, the ancient and prosperous world of immortality had had many exchanges with other worlds.

The monks at that time all called themselves "Xuanhuang Realm monks".

…

Li Fan paused slightly.

"Xuanhuang..."

Thoughts swirled in my heart, and I continued to read.

But starting from a certain day, this kind of contact and communication was suddenly cut off for unknown reasons.

There were once monks who wanted to cross the void and explore other worlds they had communicated with.

But it's all gone.

Later, a great catastrophe came and the world changed dramatically.

Xuanhuang Realm is even more "autistic".

It has become countless times more difficult to break through the void and leave here.

It would take hundreds of years for the killing to end and order to be reestablished.

Only then did new cultivators try to get in touch with other worlds again.

But over the years, nothing has been discovered.

However, it seems that relevant research has been ongoing and has not been given up.

…

"I see, that's the Xuanhuang Realm."

"Could it be that the Xuanhuang Qingxin Curse was handed down from ancient times? But the Immortal Mortal Miasma had not yet appeared at that time, so the time was a bit wrong."

Li Fan thought to himself.

What exactly happened in ancient times, even in the Tianxuan Realm, has no clear written records.

What is certain is that there are many monks who have survived since that time.

For example, the white-haired old man Li Fan saw before.

But they all kept silent about it, making this period of history seem to be shrouded in fog and confusing.

Today's monks can only get a glimpse of the various things that happened in ancient times based on hearsay.

What Kou Hong told Li Fan at the beginning is a statement commonly circulated in the world of immortality today.

It was before the great calamity came and immortals could not practice together, that it happened before the miasma of immortals and mortals became popular.

But later Li Fan found the tomb of Yi Xing, an outer disciple of Taiyan Sect.

According to the descriptions on the murals in the tomb passage, when the Immortal Miasma was prevalent, the Taiyan Sect obviously still existed in the world.

Yi Xing was entrusted with the task of migrating mortals.

This facilitates the contradiction mentioned by Kou Hong.

Li Fan believes more in the evidence obtained from "archaeology".

"According to Kou Hong, it seems that a period of time has passed from the time when the immortal method cannot be practiced together to the time when the killing comes completely."

"Perhaps this period of time will last longer than imagined."

"Indeed, the cultivators at that time must have immediately thought of the consequences of not being able to practice immortal magic together, so they tried every means to save themselves."

"The collapse of order does not happen overnight. The ancient world of immortality has existed for an unknown period of time, so it may not be that unbearable."

"Moreover, the time scale of immortal cultivators is much larger than that of mortals."

"In the world of immortality in ancient times, monks still lived a long life."

"Ten or twenty years, for them, is probably just a retreat."

"Real fear, despair, and killing should only break out completely when your cultivation is unable to progress and your life span is about to end."

"At the beginning, order could barely be maintained. But then, the immortal miasma broke out..."

Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Of course, this is just his guess based on various known clues.

There may be something more to the truth.

But in general, it should not be far from Li Fan's guess.

…

While Li Fan was stunned, Jiao Xiuyuan spoke to him, but the other party didn't respond.

So he took the small tripod and waved it in front of Li Fan's eyes.

"Fellow Taoist, what do you think? Do you want this little medicine king cauldron or not?"

Li Fan came to his senses immediately, his expression unchanged: "What is the specific use of this small tripod? Fellow Daoist Jiao, please tell me again. I was thinking about other things just now."

Jiao Xiuyuan had no choice but to repeat the introduction: "This little Medicine King Cauldron was originally used by the Medicine King Sect to plant and cultivate various spiritual plants and herbs."

"It is a space of its own, and it can continuously and automatically generate wood-attribute aura, accelerating the growth of herbs."

Li Fan frowned when he heard this: "It's such a treasure, why did that person just don't want it?"

Jiao Xiuyuan smiled awkwardly and did not lie. He told the truth: "Don't you know, fellow Taoist? The first batch of spiritual plants and herbs cultivated in the newly discovered wood-attribute spiritual energy cave in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has been put on sale."

"The number is extremely large, so..."

Jiao Xiuyuan tilted his head helplessly.

"Prices collapsed."
