My Longevity Simulation
chapter-328

"I thought I was being very cautious this time, but unexpectedly, even in such a remote place, it could still attract the Old Fisherman, who is at least in the Dao Integration realm."

"This was an unavoidable accident. Who could have imagined that this somewhat eccentric old man would be related to a broken sword in the Cong Yun Sea thousands of miles away?"

Carefully recalling every scene of the exchange with the Old Fisherman just now, Li Fan discovered that although the sudden appearance of the Old Fisherman startled him, the level of danger throughout the entire contact process was as different as heaven and earth compared to the Heavenly Doctor from before.

Even the pressure brought by the black-clothed Dao Integration expert from the Yuandao Province was far greater than that of the Old Fisherman.

Was it because the Old Fisherman's strength was inferior to that of the black-clothed Dao Integration expert?

Li Fan didn't think so.

The master of the Heavenly Calamity Sword must be far superior to ordinary Dao Integration cultivators.

Even if he had become insane and lost his memory for some unknown reason, he should not be underestimated.

But the feeling he gave Li Fan was so peculiar.

During the time he spent with him, there was no feeling of communicating with a powerful Dao Integration Immortal Sage.

Instead, it was like conversing with an ordinary and friendly elder.

Apart from his own psychological factors, there was not a trace of pressure felt.

Why was this so...

Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Could it be that the Old Fisherman also forgot about the fact that he is a powerful figure?"

Li Fan faintly felt that this might indeed be the case.

Perhaps there were still other secrets behind this, but they should be similar.

"A powerful figure like the Old Fisherman, wandering around the territory of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance in such a crazy manner, is extremely dangerous."

"If he suddenly goes crazy and rampages, the destruction he causes might be no less than the war in Tianling Province."

"Even so, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance actually allows him to roam freely like this, without expelling him."

"There must be some deeper reason behind this."

"This water is too deep. Before I grow stronger, I should try to avoid contact with him as much as possible."

As his thoughts slowly calmed down, Li Fan looked again at the still-unconscious female cultivator from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

With a delicate face, although not quite stunning, she was still definitely a beauty.

Judging from her appearance, she seemed relatively young, but the appearance and age of cultivators were not directly related.

She might be older than Li Fan.

This was because Li Fan couldn't even sense the specific cultivation level of this woman.

This indicated that either she had a precious treasure protecting her body, concealing her aura, or her strength far surpassed Li Fan's, at least at the Nascent Soul or Soul Transformation stage.

"This woman is of great use to me? What does that mean?"

Although he didn't know what the Old Fisherman had seen, Li Fan probably wouldn't have received her without reason.

Capturing the female cultivator, Li Fan quietly left the already excavated mountain.

After flying for a while, he arrived at a clearing in the forest and placed the female cultivator down.

Then he tried to wake her up.

However, Li Fan tried several methods, but none were successful.

"It seems that the Old Fisherman's slap was really heavy."

Without figuring out the identity of the female cultivator, Li Fan didn't act rashly.

He just silently stood guard beside her.

While cultivating, he waited for her to wake up.

Two full days later, the female cultivator let out a whimper, finally regaining consciousness.

She sat up, looking around in a daze.

Glancing at Li Fan, who was sitting quietly beside her, she looked confused.

"You are..."

"I am Li..." Before Li Fan could finish his answer,

The female cultivator seemed to suddenly remember something, her face showing a look of horror.

She let out a scream, forgetting to get up, instead using her hands to prop herself up and continuously moving backward.

At the same time, she kept saying, "Don't come near me!"

Li Fan's face darkened, immediately swallowing the words he was about to say.

With a solemn expression, infused with a hint of spiritual energy, his voice thundered like a bolt of lightning as he coldly said, "Fellow Daoist, please calm down!"

Strangely enough, it seemed like Li Fan's angry shout had subdued her.

The female cultivator indeed stopped moving and stood still in place.

However, the expression on her face became even more frightened.

"It seems she is not someone with a high cultivation," Li Fan judged in his mind.

Trying to put on a gentle expression, Li Fan softly asked, "May I know how I should address you? And why were you captured by that Old Fisherman?"

The female cultivator revealed a face uglier than crying, her expression extremely reluctant.

However, her mouth opened, saying, "My name is Lu Xuejing. I had heard rumors about the Old Fisherman before and was very interested in it."

"Not long ago, I heard that he appeared near Tianyu Province. Recently, my mother has been very busy with official duties, so she rarely pays attention to me."

"So, I quietly slipped out and found the Old Fisherman."

"I happened to see a cultivator exchange a broken iron piece for a cultivation technique."

"I was interested and wanted to try it out."

"Who knew that this old man would ignore me. I was so angry that I cursed at him."

"And then..."

"Everything went black as if I were locked in a small, dark place."

Lu Xuejing's face was extremely aggrieved, tears streaming down her face.

Her body trembled slightly as she sobbed.

But her speech remained very stable.

"When I woke up, I appeared here."

Li Fan noticed Lu Xuejing's peculiar and contradictory behavior.

In his heart, he thought, "I just asked casually, but she's telling me too much."

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Li Fan's expression couldn't help but become somewhat strange.

"I won't take your stuff for nothing."

"Hmm, it seems I have something very useful to you."

The Old Fisherman's words echoed in his ears. To verify his guess, Li Fan spoke up, "Fellow Daoist, please stand up."

Lu Xuejing heard the sound and indeed stood up.

Li Fan pondered for a moment and then asked, "How old are you now? What realm are you in? And what cultivation technique are you practicing?"

Asking these questions to a stranger was obviously a very rude thing to do.

Just leaving without a word was already quite restrained, and drawing a sword on the spot was even reasonable.

Yet Lu Xuejing still didn't seem to know the meaning of refusal, calmly answering Li Fan's questions.

"I am twenty-three years old this year, in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and am practicing the Dual Qi God Illuminating Heavens Silencing Technique prepared for me by my mother."

Although she answered the questions truthfully, Lu Xuejing's anxious expression became more apparent.

At the same time, she looked at Li Fan, a hint of resentment flashing in her childlike eyes.

The moment Li Fan heard the name of the technique, his heart skipped a beat.

Then he understood, "So, she's a second-generation cultivator who hasn't experienced much of the world. She went out for fun, disrespected the Old Fisherman, and got caught."

"In the end, she was treated as an item and traded to me."

"So, does that mean this second-generation cultivator is now mine?"
