Chapter 327 Fisherman Wants to Sell Fish

After a while, the confusion in Old Fisherman’s eyes slowly receded.

However, he didn’t notice anything unusual about himself and continued, “I find the aura of your sword technique very familiar.”

“It seems extremely similar to what I’m looking for. Just now, when I sensed the aura fluctuation, I even thought my lost item was here.”

“What a false alarm!”

Old Fisherman shook his head, a hint of emotion in his voice.

“Similar… lost item?”

From the information he had previously obtained, Li Fan already knew that Old Fisherman had been wandering aimlessly through various states because he couldn’t find something of his.

And now, he had sensed the aura of the Great Five Elements Nirvana Sword and tracked it to Li Fan’s location.

In a flash, Li Fan thought of a possibility.

Heavenly Fiend Sword!

However, if this answer was true, then this old man’s strength…

The Heavenly Fiend Sword hilt could contend with Qing Feng, even surpassing him.

And the broken Heavenly Fiend Sword body could already subtly fight evenly with Mo Sha.

If the Heavenly Fiend Sword were complete, how strong would it be?

And what cultivation level would Old Fisherman, whose true identity might be the master of the Heavenly Fiend Sword, truly possess?

There were two choices before Li Fan now.

One was to truthfully disclose the information he knew about the Heavenly Fiend Sword.

Although he might receive a reward from a powerful Senior like Old Fisherman…

But…

Old Fisherman had been wandering around Xuanhuang World for hundreds of years.

Why did he lose his memory back then?

And why did the Heavenly Fiend Sword become so broken and separated from him?

The implications were too vast, involving too high a level.

A slight misstep, once caught in a struggle, would lead to utter annihilation.

Perhaps even Huan Zhen wouldn't have enough time to be used.

The second was to pretend not to know.

Although he would miss out on this immense Opportunity, for Li Fan, he could use a Clone in the next life, or be even more cautious.

He could have other Cultivators, on his behalf, reveal to Old Fisherman that the lost item was the Heavenly Fiend Sword in Congyun Sea.

He would see if there was any danger to life, and what changes it would bring about later.

If he could truly gain some astonishing benefits from it, for Li Fan, it would only be a delay of two or three lives at most.

When comparing the two choices, the second one was clearly the most stable.

Therefore…

Li Fan chose to wait.

He was waiting to see if this reclusive Senior, Old Fisherman, could perceive the psychological activities of the Cultivator opposite him, just like Heavenly Doctor did back then.

Li Fan had already thought through the entire cause and effect of the matter in his mind.

If Old Fisherman could truly perceive what Li Fan was thinking, then the second option of pretending not to know would be out of the question.

Conversely, if Old Fisherman could not.

Then making the second choice would undoubtedly be the way to go.

Perhaps it was because Old Fisherman’s mental state was abnormal, or perhaps it was because he was not skilled in this Dao, and the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart played a partial role.

In any case, fortunately,

While Li Fan was lost in thought, he remained silent for one breath, two breaths, three breaths in front of the emotional Old Fisherman.

However, the old man showed no special reaction.

Thus, Li Fan was certain that the other party could not sense his thoughts.

His mind couldn't help but become active.

In the fourth breath, he pretended to think for a moment and replied, “My sword technique, which I comprehended, is somewhat similar to Senior’s lost item?”

“It seems I truly have a connection with Senior.”

Then, Li Fan asked again, “What exactly did Senior lose? I heard you’ve been searching for a long time and still haven’t found it?”

Old Fisherman shook his head, “I don’t remember, just like my name, I don’t remember anything.”

“However, if I can see it again, I should be able to recall it.”

“That’s right, as long as I find it, I can recall everything again…”

Seeing that Old Fisherman was about to fall into confusion again, Li Fan handed over his storage ring, interrupting him.

“Since that’s the case, Senior, why don’t you take a look and see if there’s anything of yours in here.”

“Since Senior and I are so connected, perhaps you can find something useful from here.”

This was a mandatory action for every Cultivator who met Fisherman.

Fisherman didn’t refuse, taking the ring and examining it.

“Heh heh, young man, although your strength isn’t great, your net worth is quite decent.”

A moment later, Fisherman praised.

Li Fan’s expression remained normal.

For Li Fan, his only true secret was Huan Zhen.

Even if everything else were known, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

So he wasn’t afraid of Fisherman’s inspection.

Old Fisherman identified each item.

“This isn’t it, this isn’t it either.”

“This…”

“Hmm?”

Li Fan’s heart skipped a beat as he watched the old man take out an item from the storage ring and examine it carefully before his eyes.

“Interesting,” he showed an interested expression.

The item that even a powerful Senior like Old Fisherman found interesting was the treasure of the Stealing the Sky Changing the Sun Sect, which Li Fan had noticed had some issues and had always left in a corner to gather dust.

The heaven stealing sun switching token.

“If I can put it to good use and exchange it for a Cultivation Technique from Fisherman, that would be truly wonderful.”

Li Fan’s thoughts raced, and he immediately put on an extremely surprised expression, repeatedly saying, “Senior, is this what you lost?”

Old Fisherman held the token, slightly stunned.

“This?”

“No, no.” He quickly shook his head, denying it.

“I just find this little trinket very interesting.”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered something so peculiar.”

He looked at Li Fan and asked seriously, “Young man, are you willing to part with it?”

Li Fan said righteously, “I am not as discerning as Senior. I have had this item for a long time, and I always thought it was just a token with storage function.”

“In my hands, it’s like a pearl covered in dust. Senior, please take it!”

Seeing Li Fan agree, Fisherman nodded.

In an instant, the heaven stealing sun switching token disappeared from his hand, its whereabouts unknown.

“I won’t take your things for free either.”

Fisherman carefully scrutinized Li Fan again, making Li Fan’s hair stand on end.

Only then did he say, “Hmm, I seem to have something here that will be of great use to you.”

He brought the fish basket from his back to his front, reached his right hand in, and grabbed.

“It’s her!”

Then he grabbed a figure from inside and threw her in front of Li Fan.

Li Fan looked intently, his eyelids twitching.

This person was wearing the standard black and yellow robe of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, clearly a member of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance system.

She seemed to be bound by invisible ropes, struggling constantly like a fish out of water, twisting her body.

“She’s been hungry for so long, and she still has so much strength,” Fisherman mumbled, then reached out and slapped her from a distance.

The female Cultivator immediately fainted.

“Alright, the transaction is complete, I must go now.”

“Young man, we shall meet again if fate allows.”

Old Fisherman put the fish basket back on his back.

Without waiting for Li Fan’s reply, he took a step and disappeared.

Only faint singing could be heard, but the specific content of the song was unclear.

“No danger, and an unexpected gain.”

Glancing at the motionless female Cultivator from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance beside him, Li Fan looked in the direction where Fisherman had disappeared, a thoughtful expression on his face.
