When I take my cultivation to the extreme

Chapter 73 One Realm and One Heaven
There were faint sounds of yelling and cursing from the other side of the ship, which reached Li Fan's ears.

Among the noise, a voice was particularly obvious to Li Fan.

"The Xiang family's dog thief, you feed the robbers, burn, kill, plunder, and are full of evil!"

"We must not retreat. If we retreat, we will all die!"

Li Fan hadn't decided yet whether he wanted to see what was going on, but when he heard the sound on the boat, his expression changed.

The voice was very familiar, it was the voice of Li Fan's old friend Xu He.

Why is he on the boat?
Li Fan heard Xu He's voice and immediately made a decision.

He took out another flying sword and rushed down from the air.

Li Fan stepped on the red burning sword, and another cyan flying sword flew up and down.

The Jie Xiu who attacked the ship were easy to identify. They all had a red scarf on their arms. Maybe these people had just met and attacked the ship together. The red scarf was a sign to prevent each other from admitting they had killed the wrong person.

At this time, this red scarf became their talisman.

Li Fan wields a sword, and his flying sword is as fast as a stream of light. None of the people in front of them are in the foundation-building stage. They are all monks from the ninth level to the Great Perfection stage in the Qi Refining stage. Let alone defense, it is difficult for them to see Li Fan's flying sword clearly.

In the blink of an eye, eight or nine calamity cultivators were pierced by flying swords, and they fell into the sea and onto the deck of the ship without even letting out a scream.

Li Fan killed these people without mercy at all.

Jie Xiu's reputation in Luo Xing Sea was extremely bad. He was stinking to the wind and ten miles away. He committed adultery, robbery, and all kinds of evil. He only killed them once and it was easy for them.

In another breath, five or six more calamity cultivators were pierced by flying swords, and their remains fell down.

Although the monks and guards on the ship did not know where Li Fan came from, they could all tell that he was a master in the foundation building stage.

Seeing Li Fan helping, they cheered and their morale more than doubled. However, Jie Xiu panicked and tried to escape too late. He was quickly killed or injured by the monks on the ship and shot down.

"Stay alive, I want to ask questions." Li Fan said in the air.

He drew his sword and landed on the deck.

Immediately, several people came to Li Fan.

Among them was a middle-aged man with a colorful decoration on his left arm, who was at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, and there were several tenth-level Qi Refining monks.

Xu He was also among these people.

"I am Li Tai, the owner of this sea-going ship. Thank you for your help, seniors. If it weren't for seniors, I would have died here today." The middle-aged man, who was wearing a medal, dragged his injured left arm and still showed full courtesy and a respectful and solemn attitude. He said to Li Fan.

Li Fan asked: "Where did you get on the ship and where are you going? What happened to these people who attacked you and others?"

Li Tai said: "I am waiting to set sail from Pearl Island to Qingye Island in the waters of the Loose Cultivators Alliance. On the way, I encountered these robbery cultivators inexplicably."

"I know several of these Jie cultivators. They are monks from the Xiang family. There are always rumors that the Xiang family supports Jie cultivators. They may be the ones who attacked us this time."

Li Fan nodded.

The Xiang family was behind the two murderers of the Jie Xiu and Mo family that he killed before. It seems that the stain of the Xiang family cannot be washed away.

"Bring the prisoners here." Li Fan said.

Immediately, a monk on the boat escorted the newly captured Jie Xiu over.

Jie Xiu was thirty-eight and nine years old. His face was covered in blood at this time, but he still looked fierce. He looked at people like a wolf about to devour them. He had no consciousness of being a prisoner at all.

"Who are you? Why did you attack this ship? What is your purpose?" Li Fan asked.

The man was quite arrogant, his head was lowered, but his eyes were turned up, staring at Li Fan and laughing arrogantly: "Hahaha, I am a monk of the Xiang family, and I have been ordered to block all sea routes in the area where the Xu family is located!"

"I advise you not to cause trouble, otherwise the Xiang family will find out and hunt you to the ends of the earth!"

"If you let me go, you will still have a way to live, otherwise..."

The Xiang Jie Xiu was so arrogant that the passengers on the ship were frightened, and the hands holding him trembled.

But before the arrogant Jie Xiu could finish speaking, a red light circled around the man's neck.

Jie Xiu was stunned for a moment.

"you dare……"

As soon as he said two words, his head fell from his neck, and he spat out two more words in the air.

"……kill me."

Jie Xiu's head fell to the ground, and he refused to believe it until his death.

Le Fan is never threatened by others.

The monk in front of Li Fan was startled and let go of Jie Xiu.

It wasn't until the body knelt down that they realized it was Li Fan who had used the flying sword.

They looked at Li Fan with expressions full of awe.

After all, those who dare to challenge the Xiang family in Luo Xinghai are fierce men.

"Well done! The duty of eradicating evil is done, as it should be!"

Suddenly a voice sounded, and it was Xu He who spoke.

Although he is not very strong, he is very courageous, and he echoed loudly at this time.

Li Fan nodded slightly.

"You are from the Xu family, I have something to ask you," Li Fan said.

Xu He was a little surprised, but still replied respectfully: "Senior, please ask."

Li Fan glanced at the people around him, and the captain Li Tai and others immediately dispersed.

"I saw you at Xu's house. You are the steward of Xu's rice shop. Why are you not here at Xu's house?" Li Fan asked.

His voice had changed when he spoke just now, and because he was wearing a mask, Xu He did not recognize that the senior in front of him was Li Fan.

"Senior, do you know me?" Xu He was surprised. He was scratching his head, but he still couldn't remember when he had met this senior.

Unable to remember, Xu He stopped thinking about it. He replied: "I am indeed the manager of Xujia Mipu. This time, due to family business, I went to the boundary of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance to discuss matters. After collecting the spiritual rice at Mipu, I went up. This sea ship didn’t expect to encounter Jie Xiu on the way.”

Li Fan understood.

Li Fan continued to ask: "I remember that you have a wife and children. Are they still in the Xu family's territory now?"

Xu He was surprised and felt that this senior cared about him extraordinarily.

Although the matter he asked was very personal, Xu He had no objection. On the contrary, he felt a sense of familiarity and seemed to trust the senior in front of him unintentionally.

Xu He lowered his voice slightly and replied: "I don't dare to hide it, senior. A year ago, when I went to Lingcha Island Sea City, I felt that the situation in Luo Xing Sea was not very clear, so I asked my wife to find a way to visit relatives. He entered the territory of the Rogue Cultivators Alliance, bought a house there, and settled her there."

"Some time ago, I had a premonition that a storm was coming, so I sent my boy to reunite with his mother. I am the only one still working in the Xu family."

Li Fan burst into laughter upon hearing this.

This is really the duck's prophet of spring river water warmth. Xu and his sense of danger are really sensitive. The Xu family arranged for their own children to go out before anything happened.

Li Fan was also quite relieved to hear that Xu He's family was fine.

In the Xu family these years, the only one who can truly be called Li Fan's friend is Xu He.

Li Fan's tone was gentle and he said, "Don't go back to the Xu family."

"The Xiang family raided Dragon Scale Island. This time they gathered enough strength. The Xu family probably can't withstand it."

"After a few days, the Xu family may be expelled from the Luo Xing Islands. There is no point in you going back. Just go directly to the territory of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. With your ability, it is not difficult to make a living."

"What?!" Xu He was shocked when he heard this.

Xu He still doesn't know what's happening on Dragon Scale Island.

The expression on his face changed, and after thinking for a while, he finally felt that what the senior in front of him said might be true.

Xu He seemed to be frightened, with cold sweat on his face, but he was still polite.

Xu He took a deep breath, raised his hands and said to Li Fan: "Thank you, senior, for the warning!"

"I just said that the atmosphere has been abnormal recently. It turns out that the Xiang family finally took action..."

Li Fan nodded.

With Xu He's ability and alertness, he naturally knew what to do after learning the news.

At this time, the captain Li Tai came over.

He has a dozen storage bags in his hand, as well as some flying sword magic weapons.

Li Tai walked up to Li Fan and said respectfully: "Thank you, senior, for taking action just now. This is the storage bag on the robbery cultivator we just salvaged. These robbery cultivators were killed by senior, and these storage bags should be given to you."

As he said that, he took out a storage bag from himself and placed it on top of those things, saying: "This is what I just put together with other people on the ship. Senior is willing to help, and we will definitely not be in vain." Accept the favor and please accept it, senior."

Li Fan smiled lightly and collected the storage bags and magic weapons.

Li Tai is worthy of being a shipowner traveling by sea, doing things all over the world and speaking openly.

"I'm leaving, please take care of me." Li Fan said.

He glanced at Xu He again, nodded slightly, then controlled the red-burning flying sword, left the ship, and continued flying towards Lingsha Island.

Xu He stared blankly at the direction Li Fan was leaving.

"This senior cares so much about me, and I always have a familiar feeling, as if he is an old friend of mine."

"Could it be..."

Xu He thought of a name, but immediately shook his head.

"No, when he left Wangxian Island, his cultivation was at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage. It is absolutely impossible for him to build a foundation now."

"Maybe I'm overthinking."

Xu He felt sad, there was always an inexplicable emotion in his heart, and he couldn't help but look towards the horizon in the direction where Li Fan left.

...

After Li Fan left the ship, he flew all the way to Lingsha Island with his sword.

The routes he took were all mature sea routes, and there was no deviation.

When night fell again, Li Fan had already seen Lingsha Island.

Tonight, the sky is clear and starry. Looking at Lingsha Island from the sky, I feel that this island is huge, no different from the mainland.

Li Fan slowed down his speed with the flying sword, and flew with the sword for a while. He saw a city below, and the city was dotted with sparks, which were quite dazzling in the night. "It's Yangsu City."

Li Fan moved his sword downwards.

There are two cities on Lingsha Island, one in the south and one in the north. Yangsu City in the south and Yinsu City in the north. One is Yin and the other is Yang. They are both large cities with a population of one million.

Flying is prohibited in Yangsu City at night, so Li Fan did not violate this taboo and landed in the south of the city.

He took off his mask and walked into the city.

There is no curfew in Yangsu City, and it is very lively at night. After Li Fan entered the city, he saw night markets in many places. Vendors carried lanterns and set up stalls. There were many stalls selling late-night snacks. People walked out to visit the night markets at night. There are quite a few, very pyrotechnics.

Li Fan felt more relaxed and entered the city.

Li Fan had a purpose in coming to Yangsu City this time.

The most important one is, of course, to use the teleportation formation on Lingsha Island to go to the mountain gate of Wandaomen and worship in Wandaomen.

Li Fan is now in the foundation building stage, and his status is different from before. The honor he receives here in Luo Xing Islands is definitely not comparable to that in the Qi Refining stage.

In terms of enjoyment, Falling Star Islands is quite a good place to stay.

However, Li Fan is determined and he only wants to seek immortality, not simple pleasure for the moment.

The lifespan of monks in the foundation-building stage is 200 years, which is more than twice as long as that of monks in the Qi-refining stage. However, for immortal cultivators, a hundred years is just a blink of an eye.

Cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Even if you are a foundation-building monk, once you relax, it won't take long before you become like the Xu family monk Xu Pingzhou that Li Fan saw on Golden Leaf Island. His strength is sparse. Although he is still a foundation-building monk, But it is the bottom one.

That kind of situation is impossible for Li Fan to accept.

And if you want to go further, you can't stop at the Falling Star Islands, but go to a broader and larger world.

For example, Ten Thousand Doors.

There are not many people here in the Falling Star Islands who can give Li Fan guidance on his next step in practice.

The basic skill of Li Fan's Fire Tempering Spirit Technique only lasts until the middle of the foundation building period, and there are no subsequent skills.

The Fire Flame Tempering Spirit Technique cannot be practiced to the golden elixir realm.

If Li Fan wanted to change his basic skills, especially if he wanted to change to a more advanced advanced skill, he would have to go to the Great Xiu Xian Sect to find it.

And it also needs guidance from senior experts.

Not to mention, the various resources for cultivating immortals in large immortal cultivating sects are much better than those in this remote corner of Luo Xing Islands.

Another reason why Li Fan wants to leave the Falling Star Islands is that the Moyuan Sect behind the Xiang family seems to be unable to resist taking action.

Once Mo Yuan Sect takes action, even the powerful Rogue Cultivator Alliance may not be an opponent. After all, there is not even a master of the Golden Core Stage in the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. The most likely possibility is to rely on the Great Immortal Cultivation Sect behind them. Daomen.

When that day comes, there will be no peace here in Luo Xinghai. If the two major sects fight each other, even the foundation-building monks will be affected and become scapegoats.

In short, if you want to continue to go far on the road to immortality, joining the Great Immortal Cultivation Sect is now the best choice.

But before going to Wandaomen, Li Fan needs to make some preparations.

He still knew nothing about the rules within the Wandao Sect. It would be best to find someone related to this sect and ask about it so that he could be prepared.

In addition, Li Fan still has a lot of storage bags and various magic weapons obtained by Jie Xiu and others. He needs to get rid of them, and buy some elixirs and other items that will be used in the future.

The red-burning flying swords and other items in Li Fan's hands are fine for use during the Qi Refining Stage, but they are no longer enough for the Foundation Establishment Stage. He also needs to pick up a few Foundation Establishment Stage Flying Swords and magic weapons, so that he can go to Wandao Gate without looking too embarrassed. Shabby.

At this time, Li Fan had arrived in Yangsu City.

He saw a rather grand inn called 'Liu Xian Inn'. The inn covered a large area and seemed to have many independent courtyards behind it.

Li Fan was quite satisfied with what he saw here, so he walked into the Liuxian Inn.

As soon as he entered, Li Fan discovered that most of the people dining on the first floor of the inn were monks.

Li Fan did not hide his strength. As soon as he walked into the inn, everyone inside was quiet for a moment.

The spiritual power in Li Fan is completely different from that of the Qi Refining monks in the inn. If these monks are trickling, Li Fan is like a big river, and even the monks with lower strength can feel like a deep ocean.

"Maintenance period overhaul!"

Feeling the fluctuation of spiritual power in Li Fan's body, the discerning monks in the inn immediately understood his identity, and awe appeared on his face unconsciously. He did not look as calm as before, but had a respectful and restrained expression.

The innkeeper is a man in his 50s. He is also a monk, but he is only at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and he dresses more like a businessman than a cultivator.

At this time, the innkeeper also sensed Li Fan's cultivation. His face was suddenly filled with respect. He quickly walked out of the counter, showed the courtesy of a junior in front of Li Fan, and asked carefully with great awe and caution: "Have you ever seen him before?" senior."

"Senior, why did you come to this shop?"

"No matter what I do, please give me your instructions, senior. As long as I can do it, I will definitely meet your needs."

Li Fan is much younger than the innkeeper in appearance, but the shopkeeper doesn't feel embarrassed at all when he calls his senior, it's very natural.

The shopkeeper was very humble in front of Li Fan.

Li Fan laughed and said: "Don't be so nervous, I just want to stay in the hotel."

"Staying in a hotel?" The shopkeeper was a little surprised and asked, "Senior, is this your first time in Yangsu City?"

"Oh, is this your first time here? Is there any difference?" Li Fan asked.

The shopkeeper replied: "Senior, I don't know. Yangsu City is where the general alliance of the Rogue Cultivators Alliance is located. The Rogue Cultivators Alliance is very tolerant to the outside world. It welcomes the world's sages and experts and is willing to make friends with fellow cultivators in the world."

"The Alliance has a 'Shang Hotel' in Yangsu City. If seniors from other places in the foundation building period come to Yangsu City, they can provide accommodation in the hotel for free. The environment, waiters, and daily expenses are all. Ten times better than an ordinary inn.”

"Senior came to stay at the hotel instead of going to the hotel. I think you don't know this, and you think this is your first time in Yangsu City."

After a pause, the shopkeeper added: "Of course, if the senior doesn't dislike the crudeness of my inn, you can stay here for free. The casual cultivator alliance will naturally subsidize this small shop with spiritual stones."

"Oh? There is such a thing. The Loose Cultivator Alliance is quite impressive." Li Fan said.

He had a real feeling at this time that after his cultivation level was upgraded from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Building Stage, all treatment and circumstances seemed to be different.

In the Falling Star Islands, wherever Li Fan goes now, people look at him with respect and awe, and they are greeted with courtesy everywhere.

After entering the foundation building period, it seemed as if the whole world was much friendlier to him.

Li Fan's goal has never changed, it has always been to pursue immortality, but being more polite and respected in the secular world is always more pleasant.

"The Rogue Cultivator Alliance is very good at doing things. In fact, for the foundation-building monks, the cost of accommodation is almost negligible. However, everyone likes to be treated with respect. This will make the impression on the Rogue Cultivator Alliance much better."

"It's reflected in every detail, and it's easy to develop a good impression of them, and who knows when this good relationship will blossom and bear fruit."

Li Fan thought.

"Senior, do you need me to inform the receptionist in the alliance to invite you to the 'Shanghai Hotel'?" the shopkeeper asked carefully.

"Go, I just want to communicate with my colleagues here in Yangsu City." Li Fan said.

The shopkeeper immediately agreed and sent a clever man to contact the people in the alliance.

Not long after, two female cultivators were sent from the Rogue Cultivator Alliance.

This female cultivator is in her 20s, has a beautiful face, a slim figure, and is at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

The two female cultivators spoke softly and respectfully, and invited Li Fan to go to the hotel.

Li Fan felt differently.

Originally, when Li Fan was in his Qi refining stage, he would be called senior by people who were not as good as him, but at that time, calling him like that was more like a formality, somewhat similar to the feeling of being an elder among his peers.

But now after building the foundation, Li Fan can really feel the awe from the other person's heart when he is called senior.

It is a kind of awe for strength, realm, and status.

In front of Li Fan, monks in the Qi refining stage feel a sense of awe like children facing their parents.

This is very different from before.

Li Fan felt it, but he didn't care. He just felt that he had a deeper understanding of the people he had met and the world.

"No wonder everyone in the world of cultivating immortals wants to take a step forward and break through to a greater realm."

"In addition to strength and longevity, worldly honor has also changed greatly."

"It's really a great realm. It's like a world. The world around you is still the same world, but what you feel is so different. It's not the same as when you were at a lower level."

Li Fan savored it carefully in his heart.

Under the guidance of these two female cultivators, Li Fan entered the 'Shang Hotel'.

This place is indeed different from the inn.

This place is located in the center of Yangsu City, but it is not noisy at all. It must be a soundproof formation.

The Shang Hotel occupies a large area, and the entire building is like a garden in the city. There are many green plants, exotic flowers, rockeries and flowing water. It is quiet and pleasant in the middle of the bustle.

Two female nuns led Li Fan into a small independent courtyard with winding paths and elegant style.

"Senior, are you satisfied with this place?" the female cultivator who led Li Fan asked in a soft voice.

Li Fan nodded.

"Yes," he said.

Another female nun said: "Senior, just be satisfied. There are servants here. If you need anything, just tell them. The servants here are at your mercy."

After a pause, the female cultivator continued: "Tomorrow, there may be elders in the alliance who are in the same foundation building stage as you and come to visit the seniors. Please don't feel intrusive."

"This is as it should be. Of course I won't mind." Li Fan said.

He came to stay in the hotel mainly because he wanted to get in touch with fellow foundation-building monks at the same level, exchange some news, and make connections.

"Then we won't disturb you for your purification." The two female cultivators bowed and left.

Li Fan entered the courtyard, feeling calm and happy.

There are plum blossoms in the courtyard, and there are stone tables and benches under the plum blossom trees.

He walked to the stone table in the small courtyard and sat down.

Li Fan first took stock of the gains after killing Jie Xiu in the Golden Leaf Mine and later.

As a result, this count did not matter, it actually shocked Li Fan.

From the Golden Leaf Mine and from killing Jie Xiu at sea, Li Fan harvested a total of more than 20 storage bags. Even if there were restrictions on the storage bags in his current spiritual realm, he could break them with just a little grinding.

There are an extraordinary number of spirit stones in these storage bags.

All added up, there are more than five thousand!
In addition, there are various supplies...
