"It's this! Give it to me quickly!" Ye Feipeng, seeing the situation, had a happy expression and was about to step forward to grab it.
However, Xiao Heng easily dodged him.
"I found it, why should I give it to you?" Xiao Heng's face revealed a cunning expression as he firmly held the storage ring in his hand.
Ye Feipeng squinted his eyes, and a dangerous thought involuntarily crossed his mind.
However, after weighing the power disparity between the two sides, Ye Feipeng ultimately suppressed the agitation within his heart.
"Xiao Heng, we are both people from Departure. Now stranded in the cultivation world, with an uncertain future, we should unite."
"Can't we create internal conflicts over a storage ring?" Ye Feipeng suggested.
Xiao Heng nodded, "You make sense."
"The items in this storage ring shouldn't be monopolized by you alone, right?" Ye Feipeng asked again.
Xiao Heng sneered, "Am I that kind of person?"
Ye Feipeng couldn't help but feel overjoyed, "Then, take out the things from this storage ring, and let's split them between us."
"How can we just split it between the two of us? There's still Changyu and Little Sister. Don't worry, I'll distribute them, ensuring fairness. People from Departure don't deceive each other." Xiao Heng patted his chest and guaranteed.
Ye Feipeng was momentarily stumped, but facing Xiao Heng, who was temporarily much stronger, he had no choice but to endure.
"I'll make you regret this in the future." Ye Feipeng thought to himself.
Xiao Heng acted as if he was completely unaware.
However, he instinctively distanced himself from Ye Feipeng and began taking items out of the storage ring one by one.
A pile of communication talismans.
A pile of spirit stones, a tattered umbrella.
A somewhat yellowed array diagram, along with a bone-white jade hand.
And then...
Nothing?
Xiao Heng was a bit confused. To prevent himself from being mistaken, he confirmed again.
"Is it really just these things? Is this cultivator so poor?" Xiao Heng found it hard to believe.
"How is that possible!" Ye Feipeng completely disbelieved.
Grabbing the storage ring, he began to inspect it himself.
However, Xiao Heng did not lie.
This Foundation Establishment cultivator actually had so little wealth left!
There were no cultivation techniques or jade slips, and only a few decent magical treasures.
These things were basically worthless and couldn't contribute much!
Compared to the overnight wealth he had imagined, it was a far cry!
Under the huge psychological gap, Ye Feipeng suddenly felt a bit mentally imbalanced and frustratedly threw the storage ring to the ground.
Seeing this, Xiao Heng quickly picked it up.
After a while, Ye Feipeng gradually calmed down his disappointment.
"Perhaps it's because of the intense battle earlier, and he exhausted all his resources?"
"It's also possible that he gave away all the valuable things on his body to save his life?"
"In any case, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he couldn't really be this poor, right?"
"In my previous life, even though I was only in the Foundation Establishment stage..."
Thinking of this, Ye Feipeng couldn't help but pause.
Carefully contemplating, he recalled his previous self from the past life.
In the storage ring, apart from the most numerous communication talismans, there was hardly anything else.
After all, cultivation techniques, jade slips, and contributions couldn't be carried around casually.
"So, this cultivator might really be in such dire straits?"
Ye Feipeng couldn't help but hesitate.
"What are these things?" Just as he fell into self-doubt, he saw Xiao Heng squatting beside the pile of communication talismans, curiously picking up one to see its purpose.
Ye Feipeng's expression changed involuntarily.
Approaching swiftly, he snatched the talisman from Xiao Heng's hand.
Later, he threw it on the ground, picked up a stone, and relentlessly smashed it to pieces.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Heng, seeing this, couldn't help but ask loudly.
"You know nothing! This is a communication talisman. If you accidentally activate it, it could expose our information. Then, when others come looking for us, we won't be able to escape!" Ye Feipeng snorted coldly.
Without a moment's hesitation, he destroyed all the communication talismans left by Fan Li.
Xiao Heng knew Ye Feipeng did the right thing, but he still couldn't help but be a bit dissatisfied. "How do you know these are communication talismans?"
Ye Feipeng was about to say something but stopped.
"I just know," he finally replied, without a hint of good humor.
Xiao Heng looked skeptical.
Ye Feipeng suddenly felt a surge of anger.
But after thinking about it, he took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. "Forget it, forget it. Just a little brat. Why bother arguing with him when you're starting a new life?"
Ignoring Xiao Heng, Ye Feipeng, under the cover of night, searched Fan Li's body again.
Hoping to find something more.
Unfortunately, he found nothing.
Sighing, he said to Xiao Heng, "Come, give me a hand. Help me throw him into the sea."
Xiao Heng was puzzled, "Why?"
Ye Feipeng was a bit annoyed, but he patiently explained, "Do you want everyone else to know that we've inherited this Foundation Establishment cultivator's legacy? There wasn't much valuable stuff to begin with, and with more people sharing, we won't get anything!"
Xiao Heng nodded seriously.
Watching Ye Feipeng, who was struggling to move the body, he approached and effortlessly lifted the corpse.
"Why are you so strong?" Ye Feipeng couldn't help but be surprised.
Xiao Heng was also puzzled, "I don't know. I didn't have this much strength before."
Ye Feipeng squinted his eyes, carefully observing Xiao Heng's body.
Under his perception, a lot of spiritual energy spontaneously flowed into Xiao Heng's body, strengthening his physical body and raising his cultivation level.
"Damn, what kind of cultivation talent is this?" Ye Feipeng couldn't help but feel a bit bitter.
"It's okay, it's okay. What if his talent is high? I am a reborn person after all."
"My goal is to become a Dao Fusion Immortal... "
Reassuring himself continuously, Ye Feipeng turned his head, no longer looking at Xiao Heng.
He picked up many stones and stuffed them into his clothes.
Then the two of them, working together, threw the body into the sea.
Watching the corpse slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea, Ye Feipeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Xiao Heng started making noise again, "Fatty, what did you mean by 'Foundation Establishment'? When you looked at me with that expression just now, did you figure something out?"
"How do you suddenly know so much? Are you hiding something from us?"
...
Ye Feipeng turned a deaf ear, pretending not to hear.
Approaching the pile of spoils, he said, "It's getting light. Let's divide these things."
Xiao Heng glanced at the miscellaneous items all over the ground, then looked at Ye Feipeng.
After turning his eyes, he said, "You first explain what these things are!"
Ye Feipeng gave Xiao Heng a disdainful look but still counted them one by one, "Five hundred sixty-eight low-grade spirit stones. Better than nothing."
"Seems to be a defensive magical device? But it's already damaged, barely usable, not worth much."
"This array diagram looks good. Unfortunately, it's of a defensive nature."
"It can be set up near the flying boat to avoid disturbance from the wild beasts on the island."
Ye Feipeng listed them as if he were showing off treasures.
Xiao Heng stared without blinking, pointing to the last remaining bone-white jade hand, and asked, "What about this?"
"This is..."
Ye Feipeng picked up the bone-white jade hand and examined it carefully but couldn't discern anything special.
"I'm not sure about this. However, that cultivator named Fan Li was deceived by our Great Departure Emperor. This is not some ancient legendary treasure. It just fell from the sky not long ago. Who knows what it's for." Ye Feipeng explained with a sneer.
"Fell from the sky?" Xiao Heng exclaimed, then looked at Ye Feipeng with some admiration. "Fatty, how do you know everything? I've never heard of these things."
Ye Feipeng, basking in Xiao Heng's admiration, couldn't help but feel a bit proud. "I know a lot."
Seeing this, Xiao Heng quickly said, "Then I'll take this bone-white hand. You, with all your knowledge, don't even know its use. It must have a significant origin."
Ye Feipeng hurriedly said, "Then I'll take this pile of spirit stones."
"Good, good!" Xiao Heng clapped his hands.
"The umbrella goes to Little Sister, and this array diagram goes to Changyu."
In an instant, the spoils were divided, and Xiao Heng nodded in satisfaction.
Seeing this, Ye Feipeng felt secretly pleased.
"Having high talent is not everything. After all, it lacks the foresight of a reborn person like me. Choosing some external items, what's the use?"
"Spirit stones can be exchanged for contribution points, and with this pile of spirit stones, after joining the Immortal Alliance, I can save a lot of time running errands. I can exchange for Qi Refining techniques one day earlier."
"In the cultivation world, techniques are fundamental!"
However, he knew the principle of getting rich quietly, so he felt satisfied inwardly but didn't show it on his face.
"Alright, it's settled. No backing out." Ye Feipeng reached out to shake hands with Xiao Heng.
But after thinking about it, he, being a reborn person, couldn't act so childish.
So he retracted his hand.
"Put the items in your storage for now. When it's safe later, after we formally cultivate, you can give them to me."
Xiao Heng nodded, collecting the scattered items into his storage ring.
"Let's go back to sleep. Move quietly, don't let anyone notice." Ye Feipeng whispered and then returned with Xiao Heng to the flying boat.
They fell into a deep sleep.
Under the moonlight, Li Fan, who had been observing their actions from start to finish, shook his head in secret.
"After all, he's not a true reborn person."
"Just a nine-year-old child, forcibly fed a bunch of imperfect 'past life memories' by me."
"In Ye Feipeng's every move, there are still remnants of a child's habits."
"The character is still as naive as a child."
"It's said that experiences can, to a certain extent, influence and determine one's character. But my Cloud and Water Illusory Dream Technique is far from being realistic enough to change a person's character."
"But I've tried my best to compile real dream memories. In those days before leaving the boundary, my mental energy was greatly consumed."
"Unfortunately, in a person's life, there are too many things experienced."
"To meticulously fabricate a completely true life is still too difficult."
"Perhaps, the flaw of the 'Still True' option lies in its uncontrollability and inability to deceive."
"Maybe, when combined with the Cloud and Water Illusory Dream Technique, I can achieve the plot I want, a completely real rebirth."
As Li Fan thought, he entered the flying boat.
Making everyone fall into a deep sleep.
From Xiao Heng's storage ring, he took out the bone-white jade hand.
Taking a piece of hand bone, he used it as a medium.
Then, he arranged a ceremony around him.
Afterward, he gently pointed at Xiao Heng's forehead, activating the Cloud and Water Illusory Dream Technique.
Then, Xiao Heng, as if sleepwalking, got up from the ground.
Muttering softly.
"Blessed be the Mysterious Yellow Celestial Venerable!"
An inexplicable force descended.
Xiao Heng's consciousness appeared in Li Fan's temporarily borrowed hand-bone transcendent realm for an instant.
