Li Fan once believed that one could not attain anything without sacrifice; to gain something, one needed to pay an equivalent price.
But he later found that getting something in return for the sacrifice was already considered a stroke of good fortune; most of the time, even after making sacrifices, you end up with nothing.
From this perspective, the grey humanoid from just now was quite reasonable, at least it took the magic cube and truly let Li Fan escape with his life. Otherwise, let alone a Golden Core cultivator, even the enlightened immortals from Qingcheng Mountain probably couldn't escape from that being's clutches.
The greatest grace a strong person can show a weaker one is, simply, not to kill them.
Li Fan wiped the bloodstains on his face and stuffed a handful of East Hua Longevity Pills into his mouth to restore his vitality, feeling completely exhausted.
