My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 475 - 447: Knowing Heaven’s Will and Defying Fate

Chapter 475: Chapter 447: Knowing Heaven’s Will and Defying Fate

“A disaster of blood and light?” Chen Ying looked at Li Fan, who seemed serious, and couldn’t help but pause.

“How did this topic come up?” Having not expected this Ancient Sect of Heavenly Secrets Monk to surprise him on their first meeting, Chen Ying asked with a mix of belief and doubt.

Li Fan didn’t reply immediately, but with a grave expression, closed his eyes and started making calculations by counting on his fingers.

Seeing this, Chen Ying stood aside, not daring to disturb him.

The calculation continued for as long as an entire stick of incense burned.

Li Fan’s aura fluctuated, and his complexion grew paler as time passed.

This made Chen Ying increasingly anxious.

Suddenly, Li Fan opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

“Friend Li Fan, are you okay?”

Chen Ying was startled and was about to check on him.

“It’s nothing. I just experienced a minor backlash.” Li Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and waved his hand dismissively.

Before Chen Ying could react, Li Fan looked at him intently and asked, “Friend Chen, do you have any plans for a long journey in the future?”

Chen Ying was first taken aback, followed by shock.

Not long ago, he had received orders from the headquarters indeed, asking him to go to a newly discovered Wood Attribute Immortal World.

However, he hadn’t mentioned this to anyone else, so how did Li Fan know about it?

Could it be that he really saw something through the Art of Deduction?

In a hurry, Chen Ying took out an Energy Hugging Pill and handed it to Li Fan.

“Please, friend, take this pill. It can alleviate your injuries.”

After Li Fan swallowed it and his complexion improved, Chen Ying asked seriously, “There is indeed such a thing. I will indeed have to leave Misthaven Ocean for some reason.”

“Does the disaster of blood and light that you mentioned have something to do with this journey?”

Li Fan nodded slowly, “Returning early isn’t a problem, but the longer you delay outside, the more dangerous it will probably be.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Ying felt a chill in his heart.

This mission wouldn’t allow him to return for at least ten years or more.

Doesn’t this mean that once he leaves, he’s doomed to danger?

Considering this, Chen Ying couldn’t help but consider disobeying the order.

But that was just wishful thinking.

The orders from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance headquarters didn’t allow him, a minor Nascent Soul Monk, to refuse.

No way to avoid, only a dead-end?

No wonder he had recently felt restless, but couldn’t figure out why.

Unexpectedly, the answer was right here!

Chen Ying’s complexion instantly turned extremely ugly.

After a bit, he looked at Li Fan beside him and had a thought.

“This trip cannot be avoided, I beseech you to save me!” He said, full of hope.

Li Fan sighed lightly, “Knowing the future is easy, reversing destiny is not. I can barely glimpse the secrets of the future. As for changing fate, this…”

“Friend, you’ve put me in a difficult position.”

“However, I can give you some advice.”

“Merely an act of man, can’t guarantee absolute effectiveness.”

Just when Chen Ying was devastated, Li Fan’s words took a sudden turn.

Chen Ying was overjoyed, “Please advise!”

Li Fan first scanned Chen Ying, then asked, “Pardon my boldness, but may I ask, friend, if you really were on the brink of life and death, what would your combat power be like?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Ying’s expression became somewhat embarrassed, “Each has its own specialty. Alchemy and plant cultivation, I’m competent at. Fighting and killing…”

Chen Ying shook his head.

Li Fan then asked, “If you encounter a sudden attack, what would be your ability to save your life? Have you prepared any methods such as defense, concealment, or escape in your daily life?”

“The Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance has been at peace for a long time, and I always try to do good to others. These things, I feel, are usually unnecessary…” Chen Ying answered honestly.

Li Fan sighed deeply, “That’s it! Friend, you are completely devoid of any sense of caution. If a disaster were to suddenly strike, you would be completely unprepared and naturally at high risk.”

“Since you can’t avoid this disaster, you can only withstand it.” free𝑤ebnovel.com

“From what I see, you have been able to afford such a mansion on the Ten Thousand Immortals Island. Your wealth must be great. The current plan is to spend your wealth to avoid the disaster!”

“There are many defensive magic treasures and techniques in the Tianxuan Mirror. Friend, you must not be stingy and should buy as much as possible and strengthen yourself.”

“If you can withstand the attack of an Integration Cultivator for a moment, you might find a glimmer of hope.”

Li Fan said at length.

“The attack of the Unity Immortal Monarch?” Chen Ying was horrified.

With the contributions he had accumulated over the years, if he exhausted all his resources, he could indeed buy one or two treasures that could withstand the attacks of an Integration Cultivator.

But those were the resources he had prepared for exchange for the Unified Dao Technique.

If this disaster that Li Fan mentioned did not occur, it would be a waste of these contributions.

He would have to start accumulating everything from scratch again.

“Is this a bit…” Chen Ying couldn’t resist asking, but saw Li Fan imperceptibly shake his head.

“I have said all there is to be said. It’s up to you whether you believe it or not! It has nothing to do with me!”

Li Fan was about to leave.

Chen Ying quickly stepped up to urge him to stay.

“Friend, you came hastily and you can’t leave just like that. I will repay your life-saving kindness another day. Today, allow me at least to perform my duty as a host!” Putting all his thoughts aside, Chen Ying took Li Fan on a tour of his mansion.

After introducing him to his exclusive method of cultivating spiritual plants, Chen Ying personally refined a batch of pills in front of him.

During their conversation, Chen Ying found this man worthy of being an ancient cultivator.

He had a profound knowledge and, even though he didn’t understand the art of alchemy,

He had an easy grasp of various principles of medicine, and even some of his views greatly benefitted him.

Li Fan stayed in Chen Ying’s mansion for full seven days, and finally bid his reluctant farewell.

Before leaving, Chen Ying generously presented Li Fan with a bottle of Enlightenment Pills.

This pill was unique to his methods and was extremely effective during the transition from Golden Core to Nascent Soul Realm.

The materials were rare and the probability of success was surprisingly low.

Chen Ying didn’t have much in stock himself and generally didn’t use it for trading.

It was used as a gift for special occasions.

It was also Chen Ying’s way of returning the favor to Li Fan, who had recovered to the Final Stage of the Golden Core and was about to form his Nascent Soul again.

“This is not a person who boasts without reason, but a true scholar.”

After sending Li Fan off, Chen Ying thought to himself alone.

“The disaster of blood and light huh…”

“It’s just some contribution points. If I lose them, I can earn them back. At worst, I would have to work hard to refine a few more batches of pills.”

“If I die, everything will be over.”

“Better believe it’s there, than think it’s not there.”

Thinking of this, Chen Ying made up his mind quietly.

He activated the Tianxuan Mirror in his mansion and started searching and browsing.

…

“I wonder if this Chen Ying managed to save his life.”

When he left the mansion, with the layers of prohibitions blocking him, the Formless Killing Machine lost its specific sensation of Chen Ying.

He could only vaguely feel his presence.

“It all depends on his own fate.”

Li Fan didn’t think further, left the residential area on the Ten Thousand Immortal Island, and returned to the Tianxuan Mirror.

“If I didn’t know that the entire Misthaven Ocean would disappear soon, I would definitely buy a mansion.”

Feeling the relatively cramped space in the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan couldn’t help but have this thought.
