Chapter 209: Dream and Reality

“That’s it! Give it to me quickly!” Ye Feipeng’s face lit up, and he was about to rush forward to snatch it.

But Xiao Heng easily dodged him.

“I picked it up, why should I give it to you?” Xiao Heng’s face showed a sly expression, as he firmly clutched the storage ring in his hand.

Ye Feipeng narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous thought involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

However, after weighing the disparity in strength between the two, Ye Feipeng ultimately suppressed the agitation in his heart.

“Xiao Heng, we are both from the Li Realm. Now that we are stranded in the Cultivation World with an uncertain future, we should unite even more.”

“We shouldn’t fight among ourselves just for a storage ring, should we?”

Xiao Heng nodded: “You have a point.”

“It’s not right for you to keep everything in this storage ring for yourself, is it?” Ye Feipeng asked again.

Xiao Heng snorted: “Am I that kind of person?”

Ye Feipeng was overjoyed: “Then quickly take out the things from this storage ring, and we’ll split them.”

“How could it just be the two of us? There’s also Changyu and little sister’s share. Don’t worry, I’ll divide it, and I guarantee fairness and impartiality. People from the Li Realm don’t lie to people from the Li Realm.” Xiao Heng patted his chest and promised.

Ye Feipeng choked upon hearing this, but facing Xiao Heng, who was temporarily much stronger than him, he was ultimately helpless and temporarily endured it.

“I’ll show you later.” Ye Feipeng thought to himself.

Xiao Heng appeared completely oblivious.

He just subconsciously widened the distance between himself and Ye Feipeng, taking out the items from the storage ring one by one.

A pile of communication talismans.

A pile of Spirit Stones, a tattered umbrella.

A slightly yellowed formation diagram, plus a white bone jade hand.

And then…

That’s it?

Xiao Heng was a bit dazed, and he checked again to make sure he hadn’t misread.

“Is that really all there is? How could this Immortal Master be so poor?!” Xiao Heng found it a bit unbelievable.

“How is that possible!” Ye Feipeng didn’t believe it at all.

He snatched the storage ring and began to examine it himself.

However, Xiao Heng had indeed not lied.

This Foundation Establishment cultivator really only had this much wealth left!

There were no Cultivation Technique Jade Slips, and hardly any decent Magical Artifacts.

These few items were simply not worth many contribution points!

It was far too different from the imagined overnight fortune!

Under the huge psychological gap, Ye Feipeng’s mindset immediately became unbalanced, and he angrily threw the storage ring onto the ground.

Seeing this, Xiao Heng quickly picked it up.

After a while, Ye Feipeng gradually calmed down his disappointment.

“Perhaps the previous battle was extremely fierce, and he used up all his savings?”

“It’s also possible that he handed over all his valuable possessions to save his own life?”

“No matter what, he’s a Foundation Establishment cultivator; he couldn’t really be this poor, could he?”

“In my previous life, I was only at the Qi Refinement Stage, and I…”

Thinking of this, Ye Feipeng’s thoughts paused.

He thought carefully about his previous life.

Apart from the most numerous communication talismans, there was almost nothing else in his storage ring.

After all, Cultivation Technique Jade Slips and contribution points couldn’t be carried around.

“It seems that this Cultivator might really have been this miserable?”

Ye Feipeng couldn’t help but hesitate.

“What is this pile of things?” Just as he was immersed in self-doubt.

He saw Xiao Heng, curious, squatting beside the pile of communication talismans, picking one up, and about to try its use.

Ye Feipeng’s expression changed.

He instantly rushed over and snatched the talisman from Xiao Heng’s hand.

Then he threw it on the ground, picked up a stone, and forcefully smashed it to pieces.

“What are you doing?!” Xiao Heng exclaimed loudly.

“What do you know! This thing is a communication talisman. If you accidentally activate it, it’s very likely to expose our information here. By then, if others come hunting us, we won’t be able to escape!” Ye Feipeng coldly snorted.

Without stopping, he destroyed all the communication talismans left by Fan Li.

Xiao Heng knew Ye Feipeng was right, but he was still a bit unconvinced: “How do you know what kind of communication talisman this is?”

Ye Feipeng was about to say something but stopped.

“I just know.” He finally replied grumpily.

Xiao Heng looked unconvinced.

Ye Feipeng’s anger surged.

However, after thinking about it, he took a deep breath and suppressed his anger: “Forget it, forget it, he’s just a little kid. You’ve been Reborn, why bother arguing with him?”

Too lazy to bother with Xiao Heng, Ye Feipeng used the cover of night to search Fan Li’s body again.

He hoped to find something else.

Unfortunately, he found nothing.

Sighing, he said to Xiao Heng: “Come, lend a hand. Help me throw him into the sea.”

Xiao Heng was stunned: “Why?”

Ye Feipeng had a bit of a headache, but he patiently explained: “Do you want everyone else to know that we got this Foundation Establishment Immortal Master’s inheritance? There isn’t much valuable stuff to begin with, and if more people share it, we won’t get a single thing!”

Xiao Heng nodded seriously.

Seeing Ye Feipeng struggling to move the corpse, he stepped forward and easily lifted the body.

“How are you so strong?” Ye Feipeng was astonished.

Xiao Heng also wondered: “I don’t know either. I wasn’t this strong before.”

Ye Feipeng narrowed his eyes, carefully observing Xiao Heng’s body.

Under his perception, a lot of Spiritual Qi spontaneously surged into Xiao Heng’s body.

Unbeknownst to Xiao Heng, it was strengthening his Physical Body and raising his Realm.

“Damn it, what kind of cultivation talent is this?!” Ye Feipeng felt a pang of jealousy.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. What if his talent is high? I’m a Reborn person.”

“My goal is to become a Combined Dao Immortal…”

Constantly comforting himself in his heart, Ye Feipeng turned his head away, no longer looking at Xiao Heng.

He picked up many stones and stuffed them into the clothes.

Then, the two of them worked together to throw the corpse into the sea.

Watching the body slowly sink to the bottom of the sea, Ye Feipeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Heng started to clamor again: “Fatty, what did you mean by Foundation Establishment just now? Why did you look at me with that kind of gaze? Did you figure something out?”

“How did you suddenly know so many things? Do you have some secret you’re hiding from us?”

…

Ye Feipeng ignored him, pretending not to hear.

He came to the pile of spoils and said: “It’s almost dawn, let’s divide these things.”

Xiao Heng glanced at the miscellaneous items on the ground, then looked at Ye Feipeng.

His eyes darted around, and he said: “First, tell me what all these things are!”

Ye Feipeng rolled his eyes at Xiao Heng, but still counted them one by one: “Five hundred and sixty-eight Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Better than nothing.”

“It seems to be a protective Magical Artifact? But it’s pretty much damaged, barely usable, not worth much money.”

“This formation diagram looks pretty good. But it’s a shame it’s defensive.”

“It can be set up next to the flying ship to avoid harassment from the wild beasts on the island.”

Ye Feipeng spoke as if counting his family treasures.

Xiao Heng watched intently, pointing to the last remaining white bone jade hand and asking: “What about this one?”

“This is…”

Ye Feipeng picked up the white bone and observed it carefully for a while, but couldn’t make sense of it.

“I’m not sure about this one. However, that Cultivator named Fan Li was deceived by our Da Li Emperor.”

“This isn’t some ancient exotic treasure. It just fell from the sky not long ago.”

“Who knows what use it has.”

Ye Feipeng explained with a sneer.

“Fell from the sky?” Xiao Heng exclaimed.

Then he looked at Ye Feipeng with some admiration: “Fatty, how do you know everything? I’ve never heard of these things.”

Ye Feipeng felt a bit smug under Xiao Heng’s gaze, and couldn’t help but gloat: “I know a lot more.”

Seeing this, Xiao Heng quickly said: “Then I’ll choose this white bone hand. You’re so amazing, and even you don’t know its use. Its origin must be very significant.”

Ye Feipeng quickly said: “Then I’ll choose this pile of Spirit Stones.”

“Alright, alright!” Xiao Heng clapped his hands.

“This umbrella will go to little sister, and this formation diagram will go to Changyu.”

In an instant, the spoils were divided, and Xiao Heng nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Ye Feipeng secretly felt proud.

“What if his talent is high? After all, he doesn’t have my Rebirth’s foresight. What’s the use of choosing external objects?”

“Spirit Stones are contribution points, and they can be exchanged for Cultivation Techniques.”

“With this pile of Spirit Stones, after joining the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, I’ll be able to save a lot of time running errands and doing missions. I can exchange for a Qi Refining Cultivation Technique a day earlier.”

“In this Cultivation World, Cultivation Techniques are the foundation!”

However, he at least knew the principle of making a fortune quietly, so he only felt smug inwardly, not showing it on his face.

“Alright, it’s decided then. No backing out.” Ye Feipeng reached out to hook pinkies with Xiao Heng.

But after thinking about it, he was a Reborn person, he couldn’t be so childish.

So he withdrew his hand.

“Keep the items for now. When it’s safe later, after we officially start cultivating, you can give them to me.”

Xiao Heng nodded, putting all the items on the ground back into the storage ring.

“Let’s go back to sleep first. Be quiet, don’t let anyone find out.” Ye Feipeng whispered, then he and Xiao Heng returned to the flying ship.

They fell into a deep sleep.

Under the moonlight, Li Fan, who had been hiding his figure and observing their actions from beginning to end, secretly shook his head.

“After all, he’s not a true Reborn person.”

“He’s just a nine-year-old child, whom I forcibly implanted with a bunch of ‘past life memories’ that are far from perfect.”

“Ye Feipeng’s every move still retains the habits of a child.”

“His Heart-Nature is still as innocent as a child’s.”

“They say experience can influence and determine character to a certain extent. But my Cloud Water Illusion Dream Skill is far from realistic enough to change a person’s character.”

“However, I have already tried my best to weave realistic dream memories. During those few days in the Li Realm, my mental energy was greatly consumed.”

“Unfortunately, a person’s life involves too many experiences.”

“It’s still too difficult to meticulously fabricate a realistic life.”

Li Fan suddenly thought of the third option in 【Huan Zhen】 that he had never used.

Retain the memory of a person closely related to oneself, and allow that person to inherit this memory.

“The drawback of this 【Huan Zhen】 option is that it’s uncontrollable and cannot be faked.”

“Perhaps, 【Huan Zhen】 combined with Cloud Water Illusion Dream Skill could achieve the completely real Rebirth with the plot I desire.”

As Li Fan thought, he flew into the flying ship.

He made everyone fall into a deep sleep.

He took out the white bone jade hand from the storage ring in Xiao Heng’s arms.

He took a section of the hand bone and used it as a medium.

Then he set up a ritual around it.

Afterward, he lightly tapped Xiao Heng’s forehead and activated Cloud Water Illusion Dream.

Immediately after, he saw Xiao Heng getting up from the ground as if sleepwalking.

He murmured softly.

“fusheng xuanhuang heavenly lord!”

A mysterious force descended.

Xiao Heng’s consciousness instantly appeared in the Vanguard Realm of the hand bone that Li Fan had rented.
