My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 279: 259: Zhenghao’s Ambition

If quantified, it was roughly equivalent to half of Li Fan’s Cultivation at the Perfect Foundation Establishment Stage.

With He Zhenghao’s breakthrough to Gold Core, Li Fan received the largest investment return since he began practicing “The Mountain-Seating Secret”.

The quantity exceeded Li Fan’s expectations.

The ethereal image of the Tribulation Body in his Dantian instantaneously turned from solid to ethereal. Once the stored cultivation reached the Perfect Foundation Establishment state, it solidified completely.

A tiny person, vivid and clear, was sitting in Li Fan’s Dantian.

Li Fan suddenly felt that the amount of cultivation this Body could absorb had reached its limit.

Just as he was feeling a bit regretful, thinking that the remaining cultivation would be wasted, a second Tribulation Body suddenly appeared.

It continued to fill up until it stored one-third of the total amount before it finally stopped.

“It’s not surprising for the Four-Law Golden Dan to bring such a large amount of cultivation benefit!”

Li Fan was silently amazed.

After careful sensing, Li Fan developed further comprehension.

“Apart from the overwhelming power of the Four-Law Gold Core that far exceeds normal Gold Core, the intricate connection between He Zhenghao and I is also an important reason for the substantial cultivation gain.”

“The first reason is the technique transfer. The second is my actions that saved He Zhenghao from falling, which is considered as saving a life.”

“Plus, his safe breakthrough also has some reasons due to my cautious protection.”

“All these contributed to the effect after his breakthrough.”

“If it was merely technique transfer and he broke through to Gold Core, there definitely wouldn’t be this much.”

In the midst of his thoughts, the violent fluctuations from He Zhenghao’s side gradually calmed.

After retracting his aura, he slowly opened his eyes.

“Congratulations, Daoist friend, on attaining the Four-Law Golden Dan. From now on, your future knows no bounds!” Li Fan said with a smile.

He Zhenghao let out a hearty laugh, sweeping away all the melancholy in his chest.

Then he said seriously, “People understand their own matters. I was able to form the Golden Core, and at least half of the credit for this goes to you.”

“Though I’ve formed the Golden Core now, you’re not too far off from the breakthrough. It’s just a matter of who takes the first step.” “I hope that we can continue our previous interactions, how about it?”

He Zhenghao was considerate. Li Fan was very satisfied.

The two of them complimented each other for a while.

During their casual chat, they talked about the palace complex that had risen earlier.

He Zhenghao frowned and said, “When I was breaking through, I originally planned to form a Three-Law Golden Core. However, when my Array Diagram was sensing the Three Submarine Faults, I inexplicably sensed something hidden beneath the seafloor.”

“It even resonates with my Hidden Abyss Technique and has some connection.”

“I initially thought it would be some peculiar artifact, but I didn’t expect it to be a whole ruin.”

At this point, Li Fan also chimed in, “I don’t know the origin of this ruin. When you were breaking through, it shrank to the size of a regular cave house and flew east.”

“So, Daoist friend, are you interested in this ruin?”

He Zhenghao shook his head: “To say that I’m not interested would be a lie. Unfortunately, even with my current cultivation, recalling the scene of confronting it just now, a dangerous premonition emerges in my heart.”

“There are plenty of opportunities in the world. There’s no need to gain ownership of something just because you’ve seen it.”

“So, let’s forget about it!”

Li Fan nodded: “Daoist friend is talking sense.”

However, he thought to himself that after having a daughter, Daoist He has indeed become much more cautious in his actions.

If it had been before when he was alone, he might have been tempted to explore.

He did not bring up the topic again.

“What are your plans now, my Daoist friend?” After advancing to Golden Core, his standing within the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals would naturally change. Therefore, Li Fan asked this.

He Zhenghao hesitated for a moment and responded, “If possible, I want to utilize this opportunity of advancement to transfer to Tianyu Province.”

“Of course, Tianyu Province is the Central Region of the Immortal Alliance. Even if I have a Four-Law Golden Core, it’s not realistic to land a position there straight away.”

“But I can plan gradually, using other states as a springboard. Check if there are opportunities when I break through to Nascent Soul next time.” “At any rate, I must leave this remote Misthaven Ocean first.”

Upon hearing this, Li Fan’s mind was stirring.

He Zhenghao escaped life’s tribulations, and after recognizing his daughter and making a breakthrough, an inexplicable change occurred to his own destiny.

Fortuitously, the idea of leaving Misthaven Ocean sprang up.

From this point of view, without Li Fan’s intervention, he could escape the disaster in the Crimson Blaze Ocean in the future.

“This is what they say about surviving a great disaster and fortune will follow.”

“It seems that it’s hard for a hero to resist the charm of a beauty!” Li Fan knew why He Zhenghao was desperate to return to Tianyu Province and joked about it.

“You can proceed with your plans without worry. If you need contribution points to build connections, just say the word.” Li Fan assured with a smile.

Upon hearing this, He Zhenghao’s face lit up with joy. He recognized Li Fan’s financial strength from the recent Spirit Mist Grass incident.

“With my established connections and the foundation of the Four-Law Golden Core, I need a sufficient number of contribution points to pave the way. Maybe on this occasion, I could secure an unexpectedly good position,” he thought to himself.

“It seems I may not have to go to Shilin State after all. I’m not familiar with the place anyway. Maybe I could hitch a ride with Daoist He.” “Let’s see how it plays out.” Li Fan thought to himself.

The two returned with their own thoughts.

He Zhenghao returned to Liuli Island to consolidate his cultivation first.

Li Fan returned to the Tianxuan Mirror.

The news of the Undersea Cave House’s appearance had gradually spread, and many cultivators followed the lead and flew over, hoping to find opportunities.

However, when that group of buildings appeared in everyone’s sight, it had already shrunk a lot.

So it didn’t look grand, and the number of cultivators who were willing to persue wasn’t many.

If nothing happened, after dozens of cultivators disappeared, this matter would gradually be forgotten by people.

However…

Li Fan still wanted the cultivators to scout for him and figure out the secrets in those ruins.

How could he let such a thing happen.

So he decided to fan the flame.

In the TianXuan Realm, he acted as a witness and narrated the emergence of the ruins.

Not much later, it caused a sensation.

You should know that the cave houses of ancient cultivators and the ruins of ancient sects are entirely different concepts.

The Cave Houses of cultivators usually have limited amounts of techniques and magic treasures.

But Sect Ruins, especially those that have been sealed for an unknown number of years and just surfaced.

The amount of opportunities inside, that’s hard to say.

The prosperity of the Ancient Xian Realm has deeply imprinted in people’s hearts.

Even obtaining a random technique would be a huge harvest.

Moreover, according to Li Fan’s description, the hundred miles long group of buildings doesn’t seem to belong to some no-name and weak sect.

The cultivators’ passion for it was quickly sparked..
