My Simulated Road to Immortality - Chapter 536

Chapter 536: Chapter 508: Fellow Daoist Changes Destiny

The next day, when Sister Zhao came to visit Li Fan again, she was somewhat taken aback to discover that he had almost perfectly mastered the Great Origin Unified Energy Technique. He was just a stone’s throw away from reaching the stage of perfection.

Although she was happy for Li Fan, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss in her heart.

“Sister, let’s spar a bit!” Just then, Li Fan suddenly spoke.

“Huh?” Sister Zhao was taken aback.

“What is your current cultivation level?” Li Fan asked again.

“The Final Stage Foundation Establishment, why?” She hesitated for a moment but eventually answered truthfully.

Li Fan wasn’t surprised by her swift progress in cultivation. Instead, he clapped and praised, “Brother Zhang was right, your talent for cultivation is indeed rare in this world.”

Upon hearing Li Fan’s compliment, her face turned slightly red.

But then she heard Li Fan say, “But you can’t take advantage of the weak. When we spar, you can only show the strength of the Final Stage of Energy Refining!”

“Sister, be careful!”

Before she could react, Li Fan lunged at her.

Caught off guard, Zhao Sister was a bit flustered. However, with her cultivation being one whole realm higher than Li Fan, whether it was the subtlety of her spiritual energy control or her reaction speed in combat, Li Fan could not compare.

After just a dozen or so rounds, Li Fan lost in an embarrassing defeat.

Getting up from the ground, Li Fan coughed lightly and praised, “Sister, you are really amazing!”

“Are you okay?” With a worried look on her face, Sister Zhao rushed to check his injuries.

Only after thoroughly inspecting his condition did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

“Again!” After resting for a while, Li Fan spoke in a deep voice, and resumed sparring with Sister Zhao.

In this way, with the help of Sister Zhao’s intimate companionship and advice, Li Fan’s combat level improved drastically.

Sister Zhao taught him several Techniques such as [Void Cleaving Blade] and [Blink of the Gale], greatly enhancing his combat capabilities.

Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last. Sister Zhao’s master, Zhang Wangshuang, found out about her frequent visits to Li Fan at the outer door on Quiet Tranquility Peak.

After being scolded, she was grounded.

Luckily, after her pleading, she managed to get a chance to see Li Fan one last time.

Looking at the beauty in front of him, on the brink of tears and heartbroken, Li Fan also felt regret.

He stepped forward, embraced her in his arms, and gently caressed her back, comforting, “Don’t be sad, Sister. If your master doesn’t want you to come to the outer door to see me, then I’ll just go find you at the inner door.”

“No matter what happens, I will not abandon you,” Li Fan vowed. “Sister, keep cultivating, and wait for me to come!”

Sister Zhao looked at Li Fan, her eyes blurry, her heart fluttering like a frightened deer.

Li Fan then deeply kissed her and for a long while they remained locked together.

It wasn’t until the time limit set by her master was nearly up that Li Fan reluctantly let go of the struggling Sister Zhao.

She lay in Li Fan’s arms, they teased and flirted some more, and then she finally left reluctantly.

Back in the cabin, Li Fan quickly recovered from his emotional turmoil.

He sealed the door and began to attempt to build his foundation, using the magic tool given to him by Sister Zhao as a defender.

Unfortunately, his natural talent for cultivation was not very promising.

Despite three attempts, he failed each time.

If he continued like this, he might injure his foundation. With no other choice, Li Fan reluctantly swallowed the [Foundation Building Pill] given by Sister Zhao.

This time, with the help of external force, he finally succeeded in establishing his foundation.

Thus, he officially became a disciple of the Great Taoist Sect.

Unfortunately, building his foundation with the help of external objects undoubtedly limited his future prospects. His cultivation aptitude was mediocre and certainly not as exceptional as Sister Zhao’s, as recognized by the elders of the sect.

He was simply taken as a disciple by the Nascent Soul Monk, Zhuang Yunxuan, according to the process.

As a fifth-generation disciple of the Great Taoist Sect, he was considered a generation younger than Sister Zhao.

However, she was very happy to meet Li Fan. Without minding at all, she merely asked him to call her “sister” in private.

Being from the same internal sect made their interactions much more convenient.

Even though Sister Zhao had already advanced to the Golden Core Realm, that didn’t stop Li Fan from visiting her for no particular reason.

Although somewhat weak in cultivation, Li Fan was always polite. He was always respectful and greeted everyone with a smile.

Even when ridiculed and mocked, he accepted it gracefully and nodded humbly in acknowledgment.

Over time, this caused those who pointed fingers to feel somewhat embarrassed.

Moreover, Sister Zhao’s master, Zhang Wangshuang, didn’t express any objections to the two’s interactions. Gradually, everyone tacitly accepted Li Fan’s presence.

Seeing Li Fan skillfully defuse what could have been an awkward situation, Sister Zhao was immensely delighted.

Thus, her worries slowly faded away, making her gaze towards Li Fan even more tender.

Time went by, and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed.

No longer having to worry about anything, Sister Zhao’s cultivation improved by leaps and bounds. She had successfully advanced to the later stage of the Golden Core Realm and began preparations for forming her Jindan.

Meanwhile, with help from his sister, Li Fan found himself in no shortage of techniques and elixirs, allowing his cultivation to proceed unhindered.

He was at the Perfect Stage of Foundation Establishment and on the verge of forming his Golden Core.

The so-called phrase of “Once the golden core is consumed, I alone decide my fate, not heaven”. The gap between the Golden Core and the Foundation Establishment Stage is indeed gigantic. Once crossed, one’s life will undergo a drastic change.

Li Fan was well aware that his talents were limited and that the formation of the Golden Core might not go smoothly. To be on the safe side, he chose to seclude himself, consolidate his realm, and seek opportunities.

Two months later, when he felt that the time was right and was preparing to form his Golden Core,

A piece of news forced him to leave seclusion prematurely.

Sister Zhao’s junior brother, Zhang Wangshuang’s youngest disciple, Jiang Ningjun, secretly sent him a message.

Brother Qin Shou from Mountain Lian had recently launched an intense courtship towards Sister Zhao.

Brother Qin Shou, although young, had already reached the Nascent Soul stage. His master, Qu Hanfeng, also had a good relationship with Zhang Wangshuang.

Zhang Wangshuang would be happy if the two of them developed a relationship.

Brother Qin Shou was a handsome and talented individual,

Who seemed to be the perfect match for Sister Zhao.

Within the short few months of Li Fan’s absence, the affection and support for Qin Shou from everyone in the Moonlight sect had already surpassed that for Li Fan.

Only the junior brother Jiang Ningjun, who had the closest relationship with Li Fan, remained.

He couldn’t stand Qin Shou’s hypocritical behaviour.

Thus, during a crisis, he alerted Li Fan of the changes happening.

Upon hearing the news, Li Fan immediately decided to postpone the formation of his Golden Core.

He could breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm anytime.

But once Sister Zhao was charmed away by someone, he would lose her forever!

Even though Li Fan had total confidence in Sister Zhao, one can never predict what may happen.

And he was fully aware that his successful cultivation journey so far, given his limited talent,

Could not have been possible without her help.

“Whoever dares to snatch away my sugar mummy is blocking my path!”

“No matter who you are, it’s a fight to the death!” A glint of coldness flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.
