Spending money is unexpectedly pleasant

Li Fan guessed that besides quite a few ruins of the ancient Cultivation World within the White Mist, there might perhaps also be the remains of other Cultivation Worlds.

After all, no one knew how many worlds the Xuanhuang World had absorbed over the years to delay its fate of being devoured by the Immortal Ruins. Even the Xuanhuang World itself had undergone earth-shattering changes, seeming to have expanded by a circle. Let alone the White Mist Barrier, which was suspected to be a buffer zone for the fusion of worlds.

However, for Li Fan, although the White Mist was fraught with crises, in terms of actual danger level, it might not necessarily surpass the Xuanhuang World itself.

After all, too many monsters were hidden within the Xuanhuang World. Ever since his Reincarnation, Li Fan had encountered existences such as the Heavenly Doctor, Ruo Wood, and the Mysterious Heavenly Palm. Which time wasn't a narrow escape from death? Who knew just how many experts were secretly hiding in the shadows.

While the White Mist was indeed perilous, the vast majority of the danger originated from the Essence Devouring White Mist itself. Even if he encountered some bizarre and terrifying existences, it wouldn't be like the mighty figures of the Xuanhuang World who left Li Fan without even the chance to execute Huan Zhen.

"Compared to the Xuanhuang World, the White Mist is like the corpse of a dead Cultivation World. And living people are often more terrifying than dead ones."

"With the Clone Xu Bai taking charge of plotting the latter half of the Sitting Mountain Art, there shouldn't be any mishaps. My true body can just head into the White Mist to investigate and see what tricks the Myriad Immortals Alliance is up to."

Li Fan put away his thoughts and, based on his experience from the previous life, purchased useful supplies through the Tianxuan Mirror.

For example: the [Bafang Qingjing Formation Map] capable of temporarily blocking the invasion of the Essence Devouring White Mist and buying a window of respite at critical moments.

The [black death talisman], a necessity for resisting the devouring effect of the White Mist and traveling within it.

As well as numerous wondrous Medicinal Pills for quickly replenishing and restoring Spiritual Qi within the body.

Li Fan keenly discovered that the prices of these items had all clearly shown an upward trend over the recent period. Especially the [black death talisman], whose price had already doubled quietly. Clearly, a considerable number of people already knew about the Myriad Immortals Alliance soon driving Cultivators to explore the White Mist, and they were taking advantage of this final juncture to quietly make a profit.

Among all the supplies, the price increase of life-prolonging treasures was the most horrifying, generally tripling or quadrupling. Life-prolonging items in this world were inherently rare and expensive.

After a Cultivator consumed one type, they needed to seek other varieties. This also led to them often being priced without a market, falling short of demand.

Now that the era of White Mist exploration was approaching, faced with the threat of the Essence Devouring White Mist, these life-prolonging treasures were practically equivalent to life-saving items.

In the previous life, Li Fan was trapped in the White Mist and forcefully broke out. In the end, because he stayed in the White Mist for too long, he had already become aged and decrepit after returning to the Eternal Immortal Fortress. If he had a Longevity Pill in his hand back then, this situation could have been avoided.

Cultivators in the world did not have the opportunity to constantly start over like Li Fan. For the sake of their own lives, it was only natural to prepare more life-preserving items.

Looking at the more than one hundred Longevity Pills that Liu San had prepared for him, Li Fan, who was not lacking in Contribution Points, naturally did not sell them. Instead, he prepared to use them in critical places in the future.

"Unfortunately, at this point in time, Zhong Shentong's reputation is still not prominent. I have inquired for a long time, yet I haven't been able to find his whereabouts. Otherwise, if I could learn that Seven-Colored Divine Light of his to come and go freely, it would be much more convenient. As for his half-volume remnant Mystic Life-and-Death Art, we'll talk about completing it when there's a chance in the future."

Time flashed by in an instant.

The next day, Li Fan, Huangfu Song, and Dongfang Yao met up once again.

According to their agreement, Li Fan took out a large batch of purchased supplies and handed them over.

"Hiss, brother, you are truly magnificent!" Dongfang Yao immediately beamed with joy, happily accepting the Storage Ring packed to the brim.

Huangfu Song glanced at the ring, and a look of astonishment inevitably surfaced on his face: "Brother Li has truly spent a fortune!"

"Since we agreed to venture into the White Mist together, we naturally must make thorough preparations. How can mere wealth compare to the importance of our brothers' lives?" Li Fan waved his hand with a nonchalant look.

"Right, besides this, I have also prepared this." Li Fan's expression turned solemn instead, as he took out two jade bottles and handed them over.

After the two of them took them and opened them to look, they saw that each contained three Medicinal Pills exuding a cyan glow.

An enticing medicinal fragrance rushed straight to their noses, making them almost unable to restrain themselves from impatiently swallowing the Medicinal Pills right on the spot.

Their expressions both changed slightly as they said in unison: "Life-prolonging Medicinal Pills?"

Li Fan nodded slightly, lowered his voice, and whispered: "This is something I managed to get after spending a great deal of effort, and the pill is named Longevity. Each pill can prolong life by two hundred years. Even better, it can be repeatedly consumed. Although the effect gradually weakens, it is said that within ten pills, it can still guarantee a life extension of a hundred years."

Hearing this, Huangfu Song and the other instantly realized the value of this Longevity Pill.

Promptly putting away the jade bottles solemnly, they looked at Li Fan and said with deep emotion: "Brother Li…"

Li Fan smiled faintly and raised his hand to interrupt their words.

Huangfu Song's expression flickered uncertainly, and finally he gritted his teeth, as if having made up his mind about something.

"The two brothers wait a moment, I will go and return shortly."

Without waiting for Li Fan's reply, Huangfu Song hurriedly left the private room of the Dao Discussion Tower. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he had absconded with the supplies.

However, neither Dongfang Yao nor Li Fan showed any such thoughts.

Both of them were incomparably calm as they patiently waited inside the room.

Dongfang Yao had known Huangfu Song for many years, so he was naturally extremely clear about his character and didn't have such concerns. But for Li Fan to also be like this couldn't help but make him admire him.

"Hehe, my judgment is truly not bad. Brother, you are indeed worth deep friendship!"

"In the White Mist, crises are everywhere. If one cannot trust their companions, why bother traveling together?" Li Fan said indifferently, possessing a certain bearing of his own.

However, after waiting for the better part of a day, Huangfu Song was still slow to return, and communication spiritual talismans yielded no reply when contacting him. It was as if he had evaporated from the world.

This time, even Dongfang Yao couldn't help but harbor some doubts in his heart.

Yet Li Fan still maintained a calm and breezy appearance.

This left Dongfang Yao clicking his tongue in amazement.

The reason Li Fan could remain so calm, besides being very familiar with Huangfu Song and knowing this person was not someone of short-sighted vision, was more importantly…

To the two Huangfu individuals, these very "precious" supplies were actually not worth mentioning in Li Fan's eyes.

After another short half-day, as time reached late into the night, Huangfu Song finally returned quietly.

"Since Brother Li is so frank and sincere, I will also pull out all the stops."

"Two brothers, take a look…"

Sealing the room door shut, Huangfu Song set up a Formation around them to prevent prying eyes.

Then, with a solemn face, he took out a square, archaic small mirror from his bosom and placed it before the two of them.

"What on earth is this?" Dongfang Yao was completely baffled.

As for Li Fan, his heart shook, and his eyes locked tightly onto the mirror in Huangfu Song's hand.

There is still one more chapter at a little past one o'clock.
