With these thoughts in mind, Li Fan's expression became strange.
"Stand on one foot, then turn two circles to the left. After that, turn three circles to the right."
To confirm, Li Fan issued another cold command.
If the previous questions were somewhat impolite, what Li Fan was asking now could be considered outrageous. He was making a Foundation Establishment female cultivator, whom he had just met, perform such a ridiculous and absurd action.
Any normal person would never agree to such a request.
However, unexpectedly, Lu Xuejing obediently and seriously completed the entire set of movements.
She stared at Li Fan with a burning flame in her eyes, seemingly wishing to crush him to pieces.
Li Fan, being who he was, couldn't be frightened by a young girl who was just starting out.
He smiled faintly and said to Lu Xuejing, "It seems you still don't understand your current situation."
"Well, daring to speak disrespectfully to Fisherman, who you don't know anything about... You're probably lacking a bit of discipline."
"Like turning in circles just now, you can't stop without my command."
Li Fan said coldly.
Lu Xuejing's eyes flashed with a hint of humiliation, but her body remained obedient.
She continued to turn in a comical manner.
Li Fan temporarily ignored her and began to contemplate the reason for the current situation.
When Fisherman handed Lu Xuejing to Li Fan, he used words like "item" to describe her.
Obviously, in Fisherman's eyes, this inexperienced girl belonged to him as an item.
Then, after obtaining the Stealing Heaven and Changing Days Token, he, as an exchange, gave this "item" to Li Fan.
Thus, the ownership of this item fell into Li Fan's hands.
As the owner of the item, Li Fan naturally had the power to control everything about her.
Although he didn't know how Fisherman did it, judging by Lu Xuejing's current behavior, it had become an established fact.
"The item is correct."
"But where does the significant use lie?"
However beautiful a Foundation Establishment female cultivator might be, in the eyes of Li Fan, who was devoted to seeking immortality, she was of little use.
"Unless..."
When Li Fan thought of this, without stopping Lu Xuejing's circling motion, he directly asked, "Tell me about your mother's information."
Lu Xuejing's eyes showed a hint of hope, and she intermittently said, "My mother is called Lu Xichan, the chief formation master of the Strategy Hall of the Wanxian Alliance, with Harmony Realm cultivation..."
As the girl's words entered his ears, Li Fan's heart shook, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes as he looked at Lu Xuejing.
"Chief formation master of the Strategy Hall, needs to arrange the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation, and the Five Elements Great Immortal Abode..."
"Is it like this?"
In an instant, Li Fan thought of a possibility.
"I don't know what Fisherman saw in me. However, since this great opportunity has been presented to me, it must not be missed."
"If I can probe some information about the Five Elements Great Immortal Abode, even if it's just a direct glimpse into the truth of this world, it's worth it. If I can personally enter the Immortal Abode and observe it from the inside, that would be even better."
Li Fan's eyes were radiant, and he felt a bit excited.
However, he was not blinded by this unexpected joy. He quickly calmed down.
"A Harmony Realm Immortal Venerable and a chief formation master. Surely, her strength is unfathomable. Although I now have control over her daughter, using this as a basis to threaten or seek advantages, it's probably just seeking death."
"Specifically how to proceed, I need to plan carefully."
After an unknown amount of time, as he watched the anger in Lu Xuejing's eyes gradually fade, replaced by a pleading look and tears streaming down her face once again, Li Fan gradually formed an idea in his mind.
"Stop!"
He finally shouted.
Lu Xuejing felt relieved and stopped the ridiculous movements.
"Alright, you can go home now." Li Fan said directly.
Lu Xuejing was initially a bit surprised, looking at Li Fan in disbelief.
Then, a hint of ecstasy appeared on her face.
Regaining her freedom, she subconsciously wanted to escape from here and stay away from Li Fan.
But her ears were filled with numerous demonic whispers.
"Remember, the relationship between us is your most important secret. You cannot reveal even the slightest information to anyone in any way."
"If anyone becomes suspicious, even the slightest doubt."
"Then..."
"You can end yourself."
Li Fan's voice was extremely cold.
Lu Xuejing's body trembled slightly.
"After you go back, don't say anything, behave as usual. Wait for my notification."
"If anyone asks, just say you were caught by Fisherman, lost consciousness, and were then saved by a stranger. However, you didn't have time to express gratitude, and the benefactor had already disappeared without a trace."
A communication talisman flew to her side.
Li Fan's voice sounded at the same time.
"Put it away."
"Alright, you can go now."
Following the master's orders, Lu Xuejing put away the communication talisman.
Without daring to look back, she flew towards the distant horizon.
Li Fan squinted, watching the figure of the young girl disappearing into the distance.
"Negotiating with a tiger is extremely dangerous, but once successful, the benefits can be tremendous."
"As long as I am a bit careful and realize that something is wrong, I will retract immediately. This can minimize the risks."
"Perhaps, in reality, it's not as dangerous as I imagined. Fisherman's methods are mysterious; even I, as the person involved, couldn't perceive them."
"If that girl didn't perform so poorly and her actions weren't so obvious, I probably wouldn't have thought that such a bizarre and unreasonable thing could happen."
"Wait a moment..."
In an instant, Li Fan seemed to realize something.
"This feeling seems a bit similar to something strange?"
In Li Fan's mind, the figures of the people in the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, as well as the Master pulling the carriage with the Blue Ox, once again surfaced.
"The Heavenly Slaughter Sword is hidden in the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, and everyone in the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace is transformed into something strange."
"Is the owner of the Heavenly Slaughter Sword the same?"
"What happened back then?"
Just as Li Fan was deep in thought, a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart.
Looking up, he saw that in the farthest distance in the sky, Lu Xuejing, who had been flying high, had suddenly become just a small black dot.
But she suddenly fell like a kite with a broken string.
Falling straight down.
Breaking many branches and disappearing from Li Fan's sight.
At the same time, a scene suddenly flashed in Li Fan's mind.
Lu Xuejing, in extreme pain, her body contorted, rolling on the ground.
Twitching all over.
Like a fish out of water, desperate struggles.
Watching this scene, Li Fan seemed to realize something.
As the owner, an item could not leave the owner without permission.
Although Li Fan had just said it verbally, he had not exercised the authority of the owner.
Because at that time, he still didn't know what kind of authority he had over his items.
However, now, Li Fan had a personal experience.
