"However, he cannot be compared to ."
Clone Ji Shaoli’s eyes flickered. Based on experiences from his past lives, he made a series of rapid moves, spending 500,000 contribution points in an instant.
He exchanged all of his contribution points for materials that were expected to appreciate significantly in the near future.
"Hmm, it seems that the fall of Nine Mountains Prefecture has indeed had so impact."
"The price trends of so goods have already changed. So are surging ahead of ti, while others are devaluing in ways that didn’t happen before."
The clone manipulated the Tianxuan Mirror, while a faint ghostly glow isolated the mirror, preventing it from sensing anything outside.
Spending another million contribution points, he made a massive purchase of commonly used items.
After storing them away, Li Fan quietly left Haixuan Island.
The clone remained in place but reached out to He Zhenghao.
That’s right—Ji Shaoli was also acquainted with He Zhenghao.
After all, Daoist He was widely connected, and since they were both in the Congyun Sea, it wasn’t surprising that they knew each other.
However, they had only t a few tis and didn’t share a deep friendship.
"Daoist He, how have you been lately?"
"Would you be willing to co to Haixuan Island for a gathering?"
It wasn’t just He Zhenghao—the clone extended invitations to all cultivators with whom he had so connection in his mories, inviting them to a banquet.
"While orchestrating a battle between the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance and the Five Elders Association, the research on [Foundation Establishnt Through Oneself] must not be neglected."
"After all, this is what truly threatens the foundation of the Immortal Ancestor system."
After leaving Haixuan Island, Li Fan’s eyes glead as he made his way directly toward Yin Yin Island.
Upon arrival, he did not act recklessly.
Instead, he carefully observed his surroundings.
Faintly, he could hear the distant wails of mortals coming from the island.
Clearly, the mysterious study of the Immortal-Mortal Miasma was still ongoing.
A small dog with an eye embedded in its belly was running wildly across the island, a white rib bone clenched in its mouth.
It seed unusually happy.
"Master Yin took three years to successfully establish a foundation through oneself."
"That was not long ago."
Li Fan pondered for a mont and decided not to act arrogantly. He transmitted a ssage: "Daoist Yin, are you here?"
The mories of his battles with Master Yin in past lifetis were still vivid.
Even with his Nascent Soul cultivation and countless powerful mystical techniques, he had been unable to overco Master Yin.
It was only by resorting to the Chaos Character that he had finally slain him.
In this lifeti, however, Li Fan would not use the Chaos Character lightly, as it could disrupt the Immortal Ancestor.
Moreover, he was relying on Master Yin to further develop the Foundation Establishnt Through Oneself technique.
If persuasion could work, that would be ideal.
"I’m here. Please co in, Daoist."
The stone gate on the island rumbled open, and Li Fan descended.
The humanoid dog suddenly turned its head, fixing its gaze on Li Fan.
With a deep, threatening growl, its eyes filled with vigilance.
The mont it opened its mouth, the white rib bone fell to the ground with a clatter.
Li Fan’s eyes flickered as he summoned the bone into his hand.
This rib bone had once belonged to the first cultivator, Daoist Su, who had been infected by the Immortal-Mortal Miasma.
In his 115th lifeti, Li Fan had thrown this bone to divert the attention of a monstrous entity ford from countless corpses within the white mist, allowing him to escape with his life.
Seeing its beloved treasure taken, the humanoid dog’s gaze turned ferocious.
However, when Li Fan rely glanced at it, the creature suddenly recoiled in fear.
In an instant, it shrank back, its tail drooping, and scurried into a nearby building on the island.
Li Fan chuckled lightly and followed.
He was no stranger to this place and soon found Master Yin.
Just as in previous lifetis, Master Yin was staring obsessively at a transparent cage, inside which a mortal subject was being tornted by his experints.
He was muttering sothing under his breath.
Li Fan casually tossed the white rib bone toward him.
Master Yin instinctively caught it.
"This is…" He was stunned for a mont, then clenched the bone tightly.
“Just now, at the entrance, I found this little thing holding this in its mouth. I vaguely felt that this bone was sowhat extraordinary. It seems the little one was being mischievous and stole it to play with.” Li Fan explained with a smile.
Master Yin imdiately understood and harshly kicked the humanoid dog.
He then put away the white rib bone.
His expression softened considerably as he looked at Li Fan and asked, “I wonder what brings you here, my friend?”
Li Fan glanced around and said, “This is not the place to talk…”
Master Yin was montarily speechless.
However, he did not dwell on it and instead led Li Fan into an underground chamber.
As they walked past the corridor displaying Master Yin’s collection, he introduced the items to Li Fan.
To his surprise, Li Fan seed to have quite a bit of knowledge about these objects as well.
From ti to ti, he could even continue the conversation with relevant insights.
This greatly pleased Master Yin, who had long struggled to find soone who shared his passion.
His attitude toward Li Fan beca even friendlier.
Once again, he kicked the humanoid dog, instructing it to bring two cups of dark, swirling Spirit Qi Mushroom Tea.
Before Master Yin could say anything, Li Fan casually picked up the tea and drank it all in one go.
His expression remained unchanged.
“Good tea!” He even seed to enjoy it, as if wanting more.
This took Master Yin by surprise.
“This chamber is quite secluded. My friend, you may speak freely.” He took a sip of his tea and said calmly.
“Master Yin, are you familiar with the ‘Foundation Establishnt Through Oneself’ thod?”
The next mont, Li Fan’s words left him stunned.
“Cough, cough…” Master Yin choked and coughed a few tis before setting down his teacup. He looked at Li Fan with a strange expression.
“You ca here for the ‘Foundation Establishnt Through Oneself’ thod?”
Indeed, he had spoken about this thod to a few others before, but most dismissed it as absurd.
They rely laughed it off.
Li Fan, however, was the first to visit him so solemnly about it.
Feeling a sense of kinship, Master Yin couldn’t help but advise, “But from what I see, you have already achieved the Golden Core stage. The ‘Foundation Establishnt Through Oneself’ thod is still incomplete…”
To his surprise, Li Fan raised his hand, interrupting him.
The next words he spoke were like a thunderclap.
“When I first heard of your ‘Foundation Establishnt Through Oneself’ thod, I was astounded.”
“However, upon careful reflection, I realized it had major flaws.”
“Thus, I devoted myself to painstaking efforts, expending great energy and ti, and finally completed it.”
“Overjoyed by my success, I ca here specifically to share it with you.”
“I hope Master Yin can help identify any remaining shortcomings.”
Li Fan spoke calmly.
Upon hearing these words, Master Yin suddenly stood up.
He stared at Li Fan, his eyes full of disbelief.
He even started laughing. “You completed the ‘Foundation Establishnt Through Oneself’ thod? My friend, are you joking with …?”
However, as Li Fan slowly recited the thod’s full formula, one word at a ti…
The smile on Master Yin’s face gradually faded.
It was first replaced by shock.
Then by solemnity.
Then by utter disbelief.
By the ti Li Fan had finished explaining the entire ‘Foundation Establishnt Through Oneself’ thod…
Master Yin’s body was trembling uncontrollably.
“How… how is this possible…”
“This… this is impossible…”
His eyes were filled with confusion, as if he were trying to verify the feasibility of the technique.
Yet no matter how he calculated it, there was only one answer.
It was flawless—absolutely perfect.
Master Yin’s legs went weak, and he stumbled, falling to the ground.
His finger pointed at Li Fan, trembling non-stop.
For a long ti, he was unable to utter a single word.
