(The previous chapter had a bug, which has been fixed. You can reload it to read.)
Li Fan had a somewhat ferocious expression, and gritted his teeth and said, "Daoyou, do you know how terrible it is to have a dream for a lifetime?"
"It's all caused by this weird villain! I want to get rid of these nightmares completely, so I came to your Qianli Hall."
"But after all, it is an ancestral item. The ancestors left a legacy, and it must be properly kept..." Li Fan's face was tangled.
Hearing this, Jiao Xiuyuan frowned and said, "Although the ancestral teachings are important, your own life is more important."
"This thing is indeed evil and powerful, and it is an ominous thing. But Daoyou, don't worry, my Qianli Hall has always been fair and will not lower the price because of this."
Li Fan hesitated for a while, and slowly said, "Sell, it can be sold. But it's better to find out what secrets are behind this villain. Otherwise, it will be difficult to report to my family."
"Can you let me take a closer look?" Jiao Xiuyuan asked tentatively after hearing this.
Li Fan hesitated, but finally handed the mechanical man over.
The previous search had exhausted the man's energy. Therefore, even though it fell into Jiao Xiuyuan's hands, it did not react at all.
Jiao Xiuyuan looked up and down, frowning from time to time.
"Can you see anything?" Li Fan asked.
"Look at the appearance of this mannequin, it seems to be from the ancient immortal world [Dust Abyss]. It is said that the cultivators in this world are all of true immortal blood, born with three eyes, and have many magical powers..."
"But the strange thing is that I have never seen the material of this mannequin." Jiao Xiuyuan looked strange.
"Dust Abyss World?" Li Fan pretended that he had never heard of it.
"Ancient secrets, plus this world has long been destroyed. It is normal that you don't know." Jiao Xiuyuan waved his hand, not intending to elaborate, and his attention was still focused on the mechanical mannequin.
At this moment, Li Fan was secretly controlling the changes in the illusion array. The
mechanical mannequin seemed to suddenly open its third eye, and shot a beam of light straight at Jiao Xiuyuan.
Jiao Xiuyuan and Li Fan, both present, cried out at the same time.
When they reacted, the golden light had disappeared. It was like an illusion.
"Dao... Daoyou, are you okay? Wasn't that golden light an illusion?" Li Fan asked in doubt.
Jiao Xiuyuan nodded solemnly: "I saw it too. It was coming for me..."
Jiao Xiuyuan's words seemed to be a reminder.
Li Fan suddenly remembered something and said, "That's right! Before, when I had the idea of selling this mechanical man, I was always restless and difficult to make up my mind. It was not until I walked to the vicinity of Daoyou's Qianli Hall that I finally made up my mind." Li Fan's expression became
a little horrified: "Could it be that Daoyou really has an inexplicable connection with this mechanical man?"
Jiao Xiuyuan did not answer this time, and carefully felt the three-eyed doll.
Not knowing what he had discovered, his expression became more serious.
"This thing... may be alive."
After a long silence, Jiao Xiuyuan suddenly spoke, shockingly.
"Ah?" Li Fan seemed to be startled, staring at the puppet in disbelief.
"It seems that some unimaginable extraordinary means were used to turn the living Dust Abyss World cultivators and seals into objects."
"Although it has evolved into a thing, it still retains all the magic power and magical powers of a powerful cultivator with the blood of a true immortal!" Jiao Xiuyuan judged.
"This... this is impossible? Turning objects into people, even the old man Chuanfa Tianzun, I'm afraid he can't do this. Besides, didn't fellow Daoist say that the Dust Abyss World has been destroyed?" Li Fan was skeptical. "
Beyond Xuanhuang?" Jiao Xiuyuan muttered first.
Then, as if to verify his statement, he took out a green bottle from somewhere.
Very distressed, he poured out a drop of thick green liquid from it and fed it to the mechanical little man.
"This bottle contains pure life essence. If it is a dead object, it will definitely not react to it."
"But if it still has the attribute of [life], it will definitely absorb it instinctively."
As if to confirm Jiao Xiuyuan's words, the moment the green liquid approached, the two normal eyes of the mechanical man suddenly opened. It quickly absorbed the liquid.
Li Fan still did not feel any breath of life from it, but he saw with his own eyes that the man came to life step by step.
The target locked by the man was indeed Jiao Xiuyuan.
The third eye shot out a golden light. Like a chain, it tightly wrapped around Jiao Xiuyuan.
"Daoyou, are you okay?" Li Fan asked very nervously, but he had no intention of helping at all, just watching from afar.
Jiao Xiuyuan, who was bound by the golden chain, could not move his body and his expression seemed to be frozen. There was no response at all.
"Don't worry, a little trick, how could it hurt me!" The person who spoke was still Jiao Xiuyuan, but it came from another corner.
Li Fan looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw that a withered branch had grown out of the ground in the corner at some point.
The branch continued to stretch and evolve.
Another Jiao Xiuyuan suddenly walked out of it soon!
"You...are you a human or a ghost!" Li Fan was frightened and shivered. His face showed fear.
"Hehe, it's just a small clone method." Jiao Xiuyuan comforted him.
With just one sentence, the mechanical man in the Dust Abyss Realm shot out a golden light from his third eye.
It locked onto Jiao Xiuyuan.
Still without any resistance, Jiao Xiuyuan was captured again.
"Daoyou!" Li Fan trembled, his legs trembling, and he almost wanted to leave first.
"Don't panic!" Another voice appeared again.
The third Jiao Xiuyuan appeared in Qianli Hall.
His fate remained the same, and he was also bound by golden chains.
"Let me see how much you can shoot!"
Ten voices appeared at the same time with a little anger.
In Qianli Hall, branches were blooming all over the ground. Ten identical Jiao Xiuyuans appeared one after another.
Faced with such a strange scene, the three-eyed villain was a little confused for a moment.
After a moment, he shot out golden chains to search for the enemy.
But it seemed that it was already the limit to shoot out three at the same time. As if
it was squeezed dry, it returned to its previous dormant state.
"You are still a little naive to catch your uncle Jiao!" Jiao Xiuyuan snorted proudly.
Seven voices came one after another.
After he finished speaking, six of them turned into dead branches again, withered, and shrunk back from the ground.
Only one was left, staring at the six locked selves in the field.
He slowly approached and touched the golden chain.
"This thing..."
It was like a phantom, and Jiao Xiuyuan's hand passed through it directly.
Seeing this, Li Fan also curiously tried to touch it.
He was also unable to touch it.
"It seems to be formed by the innate magical power of the cultivators in the Dust Abyss Realm." "
It's quite amazing."
Jiao Xiuyuan tried for a long time, but still couldn't touch its entity, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Jiao... Fellow Daoist Jiao. It seems that, it should be, that the target of this mechanical little man is really you?"
"Could it be that the baby that appeared in the dreams of our ancestors is you? The mechanical little man came to our world to hunt down you, Fellow Daoist Jiao?" Li Fan's expression was a little scared, and his tone became more and more terrifying.
"But that's not right. Daoist friend, you don't look that old. The time doesn't match. Could it be that you are the descendant of that baby?" Li Fan looked at Jiao Xiuyuan, wondering.
"I should be the baby himself." Jiao Xiuyuan said very frankly.
"Ah?" Li Fan's eyes widened immediately.
"Old Jiao, I have lived much longer than the average person. It's just that most of the time, I was ignorant and acted only on instinct." Jiao Xiuyuan said lightly.
"In fact, I still have some vague memories of my childhood experiences. It's just that they have been sealed deep in my mind and I have almost forgotten them. After this incident, I remember some of them." Jiao Xiuyuan's tone became a little confused. "
Daoist friend Jiao, are you really an out-of-this-world cultivator?" Li Fan stared at Jiao Xiuyuan closely, as if he wanted to see something. His expression was a little curious and excited.
"It should be... right." Jiao Xiuyuan hesitated a little, but finally nodded.
"I have no memory of what happened before the ball crawled out. But since the puppet that is tracking me is from outside the Xuanhuang Realm, I think my hometown is the same."
"No wonder, I instinctively want to practice the art of transforming into thousands of bodies. Is it just to avoid being hunted down?" Jiao Xiuyuan said in an inexplicable tone.
Li Fan sighed a little, staring at him in disbelief and said, "It's really hard to imagine how Daoyou survived alone from a baby to the present day, and founded the Qianlitang industry."
Jiao Xiuyuan waved his hand, "It's not that difficult. In fact, since I can remember, as long as I do what I want, I have hardly encountered any difficulties. All difficulties will be solved spontaneously. Of course, except for doing business."
"It's really difficult to make money!" Jiao Xiuyuan suddenly sighed a little inappropriately.
"I originally wanted to solve my own disaster, but I didn't want to implicate Daoyou Jiao. If it weren't for me, this puppet would have lost its power and probably wouldn't have come to me." Li Fan looked ashamed.
Jiao Xiuyuan was very open-minded: "It is destined, and you can't avoid it after all. Besides, I am afraid that this time, it is a blessing in disguise."
Li Fan was a little surprised: "Why?"
"I have lived in the Xuanhuang Realm for too long. I have been influenced by it, and I have inevitably followed the path of going against the principles of heaven and earth."
"It really helped a lot. If it weren't for the new method of Tianzun, I would have lost my life when I was young."
"But some of the methods in my hometown have been forgotten. It is hard to remember them anymore."
"If it weren't for what happened today..."
Jiao Xiuyuan's expression became a little dazed.
He seemed to be recalling some important information deep in his mind, and his brows were frowned from time to time.
His eyes became brighter and brighter.
Li Fan also faintly felt that there was a mysterious and abnormal aura coming from Jiao Xiuyuan. It fluctuated.
Jiao Xiuyuan seemed to have discovered something and looked around.
A trace of astonishment gradually flashed in his eyes.
"Stop!"
When he was about to break through the illusion array, Li Fan spoke indifferently.
The scene in front of Jiao Xiuyuan was shattered.
"Fellow Daoist Jiao, Fellow Daoist Jiao!"
"Why are you stunned! Are you going to sell this promised Little Medicine King Cauldron?"
An impatient voice urged him.
Jiao Xiuyuan was slightly stunned, and a flood of information suddenly appeared in his mind.
It turned out that he had finally dug up some small Medicine King Cauldrons of excellent
quality from the ruins of the former Medicine King Sect. Not only can they be used as storage magic weapons, but they also have their own spiritual space and can be used to plant various spiritual plants and herbs. They are of extraordinary value.
"Sell, of course..." Jiao Xiuyuan responded instinctively.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had learned from a cultivator who was very good at deduction that a fire meteor would fall back to Xuanhuang soon.
The essence of that meteor is very likely to be the Medicine King True Cauldron that carried all the Medicine King Sect away that year.
At that time, the remaining small Medicine King Cauldron in the world will be the key to enter the True Cauldron. The Medicine King True Cauldron is full of the essence taken away by the former Medicine King Sect.
As a key, the value of the small Medicine King Cauldron will definitely rise!
"Not for sale!" Thinking of the huge profits that would be made soon, Jiao Xiuyuan's heart suddenly jumped and he changed his words in an instant.
"Fellow Daoist Jiao, why did you go back on your word?" The monk on the opposite side was anxious.
Jiao Xiuyuan directly put away all the small medicine king cauldrons and closed the door to the guests. He
was thinking about how to raise the price of the small medicine king cauldron as much as possible.
"Hmm?"
Jiao Xiuyuan felt vaguely that he seemed to have forgotten something very important.
But in the face of huge commercial interests, he decided to put it aside for the time being.
...
Outside the illusion array, the real Xuanhuang world.
Li Fan looked at the several golden locks in front of him with a gloomy expression.
Everything that just happened, although it was in the illusion array.
But the truth and falsehood, it was a real evolution on the three-eyed little man.
It did receive a lot of life force infusion, and thus it came back to life for a short time. However, the life force did not come from the green bottle that Jiao Xiuyuan took out. It was derived from the power of the immortal array.
The stimulation received was true, and the golden chain ejected by the three-eyed puppet was naturally true.
At this moment, it solidified in the air, and it seemed to be somewhat similar to the golden thread used by Tianyi.
In fact, it was fundamentally different.
Tianyi's golden thread was the "power to drive and change the laws" cultivated by Tianyi after he comprehended and understood the laws of heaven and earth.
And the golden light emitted from the third eye of the puppet...
"It is some kind of law itself."
"It seems to come from the magical power of the monks in the Dust Abyss Realm."
Li Fan was not very interested in this mysterious three-eyed tribe.
No matter how powerful they were in the past, they have now fallen to the fate of being refined into puppets.
Li Fan is more interested in this heaven-defying method of transforming life into objects, and the forces behind it.
"Maobao, Luofanchen, and this three-eyed puppet."
"Outside the wall, life turns into objects, laws turn into objects..."
"It really is using the way of external objects to the extreme." Li Fan felt heavy in his heart, but he was also full of awe for the unknown civilization outside the wall.
"Compared to the white circle, the way to forge this puppet is relatively crude. Perhaps it is a breakthrough."
