第八百零六章 天赐双生葫

"Nine mountains, flying is impossible; cultivators look up in awe. Truly a rare sight!"

"This magnificent mountain range would make the Constellation Province famous if it had just one. But here, there are an astonishing nine of them!"

The young man in white walked slowly down to the foot of Sky Prison Mountain, uttering continuous exclamations.

His skin was fair and he looked quite handsome, but his eyes occasionally revealed a determination that didn't match his age.

A green vine rope hung around his neck, with a green gourd tied at the top.

The young man shook the gourd slightly before pulling out the stopper. He aimed it at the towering Sky Prison Mountain range ahead.

After adjusting its position, he nodded contentedly.

"Seal!"

With a soft command, an image seemed to be sucked from afar and into the green gourd.

The young man brought his nose close to the mouth of the gourd and sniffed carefully.

"Truly a magnificent sight!"

His face was filled with a look of indulgence.

However, in the next moment, his expression suddenly froze, and he instantly became unable to move.

A figure slowly appeared behind him, reaching out to take the green gourd from his hand.

"This Heavenly Scene Treasure Gourd is indeed impressive," the man cackled.

A hint of fear flashed across the young man's eyes.

Li Fan ordered Tianyang to carry the young man while he himself stored away the treasure gourd.

"Shang Tianci, a member of Immortal Alliance [Mountain River Pavilion]. He achieved Dan formation at eighteen and is considered an unparalleled genius."

"He has a Companion Treasure called Heavenly Scene Gourd. It can capture Xuanhuang mountain and water scenery into it. Inside the gourd, a nearly identical replica is generated, albeit slightly smaller in size."

"Moreover, he can instantly travel between locations recorded within the gourd with just a thought. Even if I didn't have the binding insect technique, it would be difficult to catch him at his current realm of cultivation unless he was already a Transcendent Realm."

Li Fan's spiritual sense peered into the Heavenly Scene Gourd and saw clouds swirling around various distinctive mountain and water scenes.

Some were familiar to Li Fan, like Taihua Ten Branches and Tianling Thousand Waters.

Sky Prison Mountain, just ingested by Shang Tianci, was also included!

"Braving the Nine Provinces alone at such a young age, truly fearless."

"But if not for me, he would indeed be following the main character's script in what is about to happen next."

During his travels, he happened upon an ambush by the Five Elders Association.

"With the help of Spirit Essence Sect, the Five Elders Association had already deployed heavy forces to seal off the Nine Provinces Province, allowing entry but not exit. They also blocked communications; ordinary methods could not transmit messages. They just wanted to stall for time."

"War is swift. Before the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance reacted, they would seize the Nine Provinces Province."

"Who knew that bad luck led him to encounter Shang Tianci, an anomaly who managed to use his Companion Treasure to instantly teleport in a place where spatial transmission was impossible."

"Thus, news leaked out and the plan failed."

Li Fan's thoughts turned as he recalled the official statement from the previous life regarding this matter.

"But we can't be sure if that is the entire truth."

"We still need to observe more."

"As for this young man..."

Li Fan turned his head to look at Shang Tianci, who was now unconscious. Tianyang signaled and struck him out cold with a palm strike. Li Fan then lightly tapped his finger, sending a red light containing his own essence into the other's body.

It was the technique called "Crossing Bloodline."

"The Interdimensional Federation; I can't do it alone. Such a genius would be perfect for showing off as face."

Standing on Tianyang, Li Fan flew to the peak of Sky Prison Mountain.

He set up an array around him to conceal his presence and then looked out into the distance, waiting for the Five Elders Association's army to arrive.

"They should be here soon."

While waiting, Li Fan began studying the newly acquired Heavenly Scene Gourd. Although it was Shang Tianci's Companion Treasure, he himself had not used it to build his Dao foundation; instead, he carried it like a regular treasure.

Li Fan's spiritual sense delved into the green gourd, attempting to interact with the mountain and water scenes within to see if he could traverse them as Shang Tianci did. However, they ignored him completely, showing no response.

"Unable to refine with Spirit Energy. Even the True Dao cannot sense or absorb it..."

"It seems this is truly his personal treasure."

After failing, Li Fan shook his head in resignation.

"A treasure like this wasn't used for foundation building. What could his foundation-building Companion Treasure be?"

Li Fan approached the unconscious Shang Tianci and examined him carefully.

"Hmm?" After a moment, a strange look appeared on Li Fan's face.

A purple-gold gourd emblem was etched onto the surface of Shang Tianci's golden core.

It looked identical to the Heavenly Scene Gourd but had an even more mysterious and noble aura.

"Double-hued gourds? Interesting."

Li Fan's eyes sparkled, but he didn't immediately decide to seize it.

One reason was that Shang Tianci might still be useful. The other was that this Companion Treasure likely belonged exclusively to him, like the Heavenly Scene Gourd, making it impossible to take.

"Perhaps something like Mr. Bai, a manifestation of the Way, could use it without hindrance. I can't."

Facing such treasures, Li Fan felt no urgency.

He merely narrowed his eyes and silently observed Shang Tianci's progress with the Crossing Bloodline technique.

When Shang Tianci slowly regained consciousness, he looked at the mysterious figure who had captured him, fear vanishing to be replaced by a sense of closeness and trust.

"Young man, what do you think of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?" Li Fan asked in an unusual tone.

"Ah?" Shang Tianci was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected such a random question.

"I find it good! Everyone practices cultivation without worrying about their safety..." he replied instinctively.

Li Fan coldly snorted, interrupting him: "Good? Can you see how many cultivators work hard for decades just to obtain one technique? If only one true skill were enough."

"But they break down the techniques and sell them. A foundation-building skill requires a new exchange when reaching Golden Core. The same goes for Spirit Embryo and Transcendent Realm!"

"Just treating us like cattle!"

Shang Tianci was about to argue but was interrupted by Li Fan's finger pressing on his forehead.

Instantly, scenes of countless low-ranking cultivators struggling for meager contributions flashed through his mind.

As a prodigy, Shang Tianci naturally didn't know how difficult it was for ordinary cultivators with average talent to progress from mere mortals to Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core...

The journey was arduous. Many were stuck in realms he could easily break through their entire lives without making any progress.

For the first time, Shang Tianci truly understood these struggles, his mind shaken by the revelation.

Li Fan continued to sway him with words.

Gradually, Shang Tianci's expression began to change.
