My Simulated Longevity
Chapter 52 Guarding Tai’an Island
"All the mortals on the island have disappeared. But the city where the mortals originally gathered has grown one after another with leafy trees, just like a primeval forest."
"The branches of those trees are covered with fruits with human faces."
"The breeze blows, and a charming smile appears on the fruit's face."
As He Zhenghao narrated, Li Fan seemed to see countless faces smiling at him.
Thinking again that he had eaten one of these fruits just now, Li Fan couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
He Zhenghao continued to speak.
"The Jindan guard came back to his senses after being shocked and went down to the city to investigate."
"Not a single mortal survived on the entire island, and they all turned into smiling fruits. But why this strange thing happened, the Golden Core guard couldn't figure it out. So he had to report the matter."
"The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance sent a special person to check, and no one knows the specific results. However, all the big trees in the city were cut down later, and the city returned to its original appearance. And those smiling fruits seemed to have nothing. Whatever happens, continue to live in the city the way you always have.”
"Generation after generation, it has reproduced to this day. The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance also built a large formation here, and ordered dedicated personnel to guard it and harvest the fruits."
After listening to this, Li Fan couldn't help but said: "So, doesn't this Tai'an Guo be a human being?"
He Zhenghao shook his head: "How are they human? They have no mind of their own and act entirely on instinct. If anything, they only have some remaining human obsessions."
Li Fan pondered for a moment, but finally did not refute.
This matter was too mysterious, and he didn't know how to characterize these Tai'an fruits.
However, after their life-extending effect was discovered by immortal cultivators, these were no longer important.
Not to mention the Tai'an fruit, even a real mortal would not be able to escape the fate of being eaten if eating it can increase his lifespan.
Li Fan fell into deep thought.
He Zhenghao didn't know what he thought of, and fell into silence.
After a long time, the two of them came back to their senses.
Next, He Zhenghao explained to Li Fan some matters that need to be paid attention to when guarding an island.
Li Fan also remembered them all.
"The formation covers the entire island, and every time it moves, it will draw a trace of essence from the mortals inside."
"The amount extracted is very small and will not have any impact on mortals. But when these essences are gathered together and the small amount becomes large, the amount will be considerable."
"After these essences are transformed, they can increase the concentration of spiritual energy in the magic circle."
"Therefore, practicing in this island-protecting formation is not as efficient as turning on the auxiliary training mode in the Tianxuan Mirror, but it is also much faster than in the ordinary outside world."
In the end, He Zhenghao proudly told Li Fan a secret that only monks who had served as island guards knew.
After another reminder to Li Fan to contact him at any time if he had any questions, He Zhenghao Shi Shiran left.
Li Fan held the guard token, and under the blessing of the formation, his consciousness suddenly enveloped the entire island.
Ordinary mortals on the island, the Taian Fruit in the central core array, are all busy living their lives.
After looking at each other for a long time, Li Fan sighed.
"Knock out the marrow of the world to worship and practice."
If possible, Li Fan would naturally want to do something. It's a pity that he is still only a small monk in the Qi refining stage.
The only thing I can do now is practice hard.
Li Fan suppressed all the thoughts in his heart.
Since then, Li Fan has been stationed on Tai'an Island.
I have to say that the role of island guard is really relatively easy.
Mortals on the island dare not disturb the immortal master if they have nothing to do.
All Li Fan needs to do is to check whether the island protection array is operating normally every once in a while, harvest and preserve the ripe Tai'an fruits in time, and other trivial matters.
Li Fan can spend the rest of the time as he wishes.
Li Fan has since devoted himself to hard training.
"One Hundred Ways to Use Spiritual Energy", "Introduction to Spells", "Secrets to Victory in Magical Fighting - Strike First to Be Strong", "To Live is to Win", "Only the Quickest Cannot Be Destroyed"...
Starting from these basic cultivation knowledge, Li Fan slowly mastered some simple little spells.
Such as breath gathering, suspended animation, wind control, giant strength, etc.
While studying, Li Fan had to lament the extent to which the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance protected knowledge monopoly.
There is no problem in learning and using the knowledge purchased and learned from the Tianxuan Realm.
But if you want to teach others after learning, it won't work.
Unless your strength can surpass Tianxuan Mirror, you can naturally break the restrictions contained in it.
Li Fan didn't know which level of monk the Tianxuan Mirror, a spiritual treasure, was equivalent to.
However, based on common sense, it should be at least not lower than the monks in the transformation stage.
The power of the god-transforming monks is far beyond what Li Fan can guess today.
So no matter how dissatisfied he is, he can only accept the reality for the time being.
After reading these books, Li Fan began to try to read about alchemy, weapon refining, formations, etc.
Compared with the previous spell parts, these contents are too complicated.
There are so many things, Li Fan doesn't know where to start.
It only took Li Fan more than ten days to read through the basics of alchemy in "The First Interpretation of Alchemy": the age and efficacy identification and analysis of various herbs.
Not to mention the following: the selection and control techniques of alchemy fire, alchemy furnace ritual training, and the practical part of alchemy. Li Fan estimated that it would be impossible for him to read it completely in less than a year and a half.
Knowing that these skills often require famous teachers to lead them, Li Fan finally chose to give up temporarily after struggling for a while.
So he temporarily put aside his distracting thoughts and began to practice the "Qianji Jade World Golden Chapter".
This ancient Tianji Sect's technique is really obscure and difficult to understand. It is very different from the "Xiao Yan Shui Jue" that Li Fan practiced before. It is not the product of the same system at all.
Even with the help of glass beads at all times to increase his understanding, it still took Li Fan more than half a year to get started.
The hardships involved made Li Fan once have the idea of going to Tianxuan Mirror to practice the "Thousand Machines Jade World Golden Chapter" in a super-assisted training state.
But in the end, this thought was suppressed by Li Fan.
After all, Li Fan still can't let go of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Judging from the way they act, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is obviously not a good person.
If it arouses the interest of the Tianxuan Realm, exposing the Nascent Soul Technique is fine, but if the existence of [Huan Zhen] is exposed, then it will be truly doomed.
So Li Fan would rather practice slowly by himself.
Just like that, a year passed.
Li Fan returned to Ten Thousand Immortals Island and received the reward of acting guard, which was 800 contribution points. Then I exchanged it for the later part of Qi refining in "Xiao Yan Shui Jue".
After another five days of practicing under the auxiliary training mode of Tianxuan Mirror, he reluctantly returned to Tai'an Island.
After five days of rapid practice, Li Fan had already vaguely felt that he was not far from the late stage of Qi refining.
