My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 117 - 117: 112: The Medicine King Sect of the Past Years

When Jiao Xiuyuan saw a customer approaching, he immediately replaced his angry face with one full of smiles.

Upon hearing Li Fan’s mockery, however, his face instantly darkened.

He awkwardly responded, “What are you talking about, Brother? I, Jiao, have never made a business loss.”

Then, he gritted his teeth and muttered, “This kid dares to trick me, does he really think Jiao Xiuyuan is easy to bully…’

It seemed tnat Ll Fan nad nearcl mm say tms more tnan once, so ne Just laughed without a word.

Looking at the small cauldron on the table, he asked, “Brother Jiao, this small cauldron is…”

Jiao Xiuyuan’s eyes lit up, and he immediately introduced enthusiastically, “This little cauldron is extraordinary. It took me a lot of hardship to find it in a ruined sect.”

“Oh? What is the use of this small cauldron?” Li Fan become interested. Items that could survive the Great Calamity and remain until now, generally were not simple things.

“Do you know about the well-known, Medicine King Sect?” Jiao Xiuyuan asked mysteriously.

“Never heard of it.” Li Fan shook his head.

Jiao Xiuyuan’s smile was instantly frozen.

Luckily, he was a professional and began to explain to Li Fan immediately.

“The Medicine King Sect was one of the notable sects in ancient times, known for their alchemy and medicinal plants cultivation.”

“After the Immortal Law was transmitted and before the Great Calamity arrived. The then sect leader of the Medicine King Sect, Liu Ruchen, had a vague premonition that great changes were coming in the world.”

“Therefore, Liu Ruchen led the entire Medicine King Sect with a strong stance, using the Medicine King Cauldron as a raft, tearing open the Void and leaving the world.’

This was the first time Li Fan had heard such a story. “Tearing open the world and leaving? Where did they go to?”

Jiao Xiuyuan shrugged, “It’s a story from thousands of years ago, who could know? They might have gone to a nearby independent small world, or maybe to a brand new world, but that’s not the point.”

“The point is this cauldron!”

Li Fan nodded slightly, while his alter ego Lin Fan quickly searched for the keyword “world”.

Related information immediately appeared.

It was quite valuable, requiring more than a thousand contribution points.

Purchase it, read it.

Long ago, cultivators had already established a basic worldview.

The current Immortal Cultivation World they lived in was not the only existing world.

Not only did many attached small worlds and independent microcosms exist around the world,

But there were also other similar existences outside the Endless Void.

Before the Great Calamity, the ancient and prosperous cultivation world had a considerable interaction with other worlds.

At that time, cultivators would call themselves “Cultivators from Xuanhuang world.”

Li Fan paused for a moment.

“Xuanhuang…”

His mind was filled with thoughts, and he continued reading.

However, starting from a certain day, the connection was suddenly cut off for some reason.

Once, some cultivators attempted to traverse the Void to go to other communicative worlds to investigate.

But none of them returned.

Later, the Great Calamity came, shaking Heaven and Earth.

The Xuanhuang World was even more “closed off” in a way.

Tearing open the Void to leave became countless times more difficult. It wasn’t until hundreds of years after the order was reestablished after the

killings ended.

That new cultivators attempted to reestablish contact with other worlds.

But over the years, there hasn’t been much discovery.

However, it seems that the related research has been ongoing and has not been abandoned.

“So that’s how it is, the Xuanhuang World.”

“Could it be that the Xuanhuang Inner Peace Spell was passed down from ancient times? However, the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma had not appeared at that time, the timeline doesn’t match.”

Li Fan pondered secretly.

What exactly happened in ancient times was not clearly recorded even in the Tianxuan Realm.

What can be confirmed is that there are cultivators who have survived from that time until now.

Such as the white-haired old man Li Fan had met before.

But they all unanimously kept silent on the matter, making this part of history, like a vast mist, mysterious and indistinct.

Present cultivators could only glean a glimpse of what happened in ancient times from hearsay,

What Kou Hong told Li Fan was what was widely rumored in the current cultivation world.

The Great Calamity descended, and the Immortal Law could not be cultivated together, happening before the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma became prevalent.

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

Based on the descriptions on the tomb murals, the Taiyan Sect evidently still existed in the world when the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma was prevalent.

Yi Xing was tasked with relocating mortals.

This contradicts what Kou Hong said.

Li Fan trusted the evidence from the “archaeological” findings more.

“According to Kou Hong’s statement, there seems to have been some time from when the Immortal Law couldn’t be cultivated together to when the killings really started.”

“Perhaps, this time period is longer than imagined.”

“Yes, the cultivators of that time certainly thought of the consequences of not being able to practice the Immortal Law, so they tried all sorts of methods to start self-rescue.”

“The collapse of the order is not overnight. The ancient Xian Realm, which has existed for an unknown length of time, should not be so vulnerable.”

“Moreover, the timescale of cultivators is much larger than that of mortals.”

“In those ancient times, cultivators had long lives.”

“Ten to twenty years for them, was probably just the time for a closed-door cultivation.”

“Real fear, despair, and killings should only occur when their cultivation cannot progress, and their lifespan is about to end.”

“In the beginning, the order could barely maintain. But later, the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma broke out…”

Li Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

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

There might be some hidden information in the actual facts.

But in general, it shouldn’t be far from Li Fan’s guess.

While Li Fan was lost in thought, Jiao Xiuyuan saw that he had been talking for a while, but the other party had no reaction.

Then he took the small cauldron and waved it in front of Li Fan.

“Brother, what do you think? Do you want this Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron?”

Li Fan snapped back to reality, his expression unchanged, “What’s the use of this small cauldron? Brother Jiao, please repeat it again. I was just thinking about something else.”

Jiao Xiuyuan helplessly had to introduce again, “This Little Pharma Sovereign

Cauldron was used by the disciples of the Medicine King Sect to plant and cultivate various spiritual plants and herbs.”

“There’s a space inside it, and it can continually generate Wood Attribute spiritual energy, accelerating the growth of medicinal plants.”

Li Fan frowned upon hearing this, ‘With such a treasure, why did the man just now not want it?”

Jiao Xiuyuan gave an awkward smile and, not to lie, truthfully said, “Brother, you may not know this, but the first batch of spiritual plants and herbs cultivated in the newly discovered Wood Attribute Spiritual Energy cave by the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals are already on sale.”

“There is an enormous quantity, so…” Jiao Xiuyuan helplessly tilted his head.

“The price collapsed..”
