Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂
Chapter 46. (1/2)
After escaping the threat of the sturgeon shark, Gu Fan and her five companions found a nearby house to rest.
Meng Lianying urgently needed to recover his mental strength, so he went to the bedroom to sleep. Qingteng was guarding beside him while Gu Fan and his two companions studied the places they would pass through on the tablet in the next few days.
Leaving the city is the mountain. This area has forests, rivers, and lakes, and monsters gather everywhere.
“Fanfan, what was that move you just made?”
Fenghuo asked expectantly.
Gu Fan’s words extinguished the fire in his heart: “High-level defensive talisman, just that one.”
Fenghuo was a talkative person who liked gossip. Thinking about Gu Fan’s status in the cultivation continent, he asked curiously: “Where did you get such a powerful defensive talisman?”
According to Gu Fan’s previous description, she had a low cultivation level in the sect and was not considered wealthy. It should be difficult to get such a high-level defensive talisman.
Gu Fan really couldn’t get it. The two best things she exchanged with contribution points were the green life-extending pill and the black beast-avoiding pill.
The life-extending pill can save a person who has been seriously injured even if there is still a breath left. It seems powerful, but in fact, it can only be used by low-level cultivators. A true master duel will directly destroy a person’s soul, leaving you no time to take the medicine. The same is true for the beast-avoiding pill. High-level cultivators have their own means of concealing their breath, so there is no need for this kind of pill to assist.
Gu Fan did not go out of the sect. Meanwhile, she used all the contribution points she accumulated to exchange for life-saving things and exchanged five defensive talismans that could withstand the attacks of primary foundation-building cultivators.
The only life-saving defensive talisman used was given to her by someone else.
When Gu Fan was 21 years old, her cultivation level broke through to the third level of the Qi Refining Stage. At that time, she had not gone out to practice and did not know much about the dangers outside. Although she had heard of some things, she had not experienced them personally, and she felt that no matter how dangerous it was, it was a layer away. Therefore, Gu Fan was not too timid at the time. After being fooled by several senior brothers and sisters, she followed everyone to practice. That was also the only practice she had ever participated in.
A group of seven people entered a sacred mountain, dug up several intermediate herbs, and killed several low-level monsters together.
Ordinarily, this harvest would have satisfied Gu Fan. However, the senior brothers and sisters were ambitious. They wanted to find more good things, so Gu Fan had to follow them to go deeper.
As a result, they encountered an ambush by disciples from other sects, and five of the seven died. Gu Fan escaped under the protection of Senior Brother Xiao.
Senior Brother Xiao was a cultivator of the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage and the one with the highest cultivation among them.
The two found a cave to hide in. Senior Brother Xiao wanted to do something to Gu Fan in the dead of night.
As a disciple with a useless spiritual root, Gu Fan could only show off her appearance.
Although Gu Fan feared death, she had her own backbone and struggled desperately.
The disparity in strength and stamina made her desperate. Just when she was about to explode her dantian, a chuckle suddenly came from outside the cave. The next moment, Senior Brother Xiao, on her body, stopped moving. He was killed silently.
At that time, Gu Fan had no extra energy to think about these things. She pushed Senior Brother Xiao away with difficulty, tremblingly covered her messy dress, and shrank into the corner of the cave with her legs hugged.
A figure staggered in, glanced at her, sat cross-legged to the side, closed his eyes, and practiced.
Gu Fan did not dare to disturb him, nor did she want to leave without permission. She was so frightened and guarded against him all night.
At dawn, the man was still practicing, and at dark, he was still practicing.
On the third day, Gu Fan couldn’t help but want to leave quietly.
Who knew that he had set up a barrier outside? At least with Gu Fan’s cultivation, he couldn’t get out at all.
She had no choice but to stay trapped in the cave, facing the corpse of Senior Brother Xiao and a man with unpredictable cultivation.
A month later, the man finally finished his cultivation.
Seeing Gu Fan huddled aside, the man smiled and said, “I saved your life and trapped you for so long, so we’re even now.”
Gu Fan thought he hadn’t let her leave the barrier before because he was afraid that she would leak the news and let the outside world know he was hiding in this cave.
She was indeed grateful for his life-saving grace. Gu Fan didn’t mind being trapped for a month as long as he didn’t mean to hurt her.
The man flicked his robe and was about to leave.
At this moment, Gu Fan believed that the man would not hurt her, but she had already gone deep into Lingshan Mountain. There were monsters and cultivators with ulterior motives outside. If she relied on herself alone, she could never walk out alive.
Gu Fan asked the man to send her out of the mountain. With his cultivation level that could kill Senior Brother Xiao even when seriously injured, it would be easy for him to send her out.
“Why should I send you off? What reward can you give me?” The man did not refuse outright but only looked at her with interest.
What good things could Gu Fan have? She hesitated for a long time, unable to speak.
The man was about to leave.
Gu Fan followed him nervously with a glimmer of hope, afraid that he would mind her bold following and kill her and afraid that he would suddenly fly away on a sword and leave her behind.
It would be death anyway, but following him at least gave her a chance of survival.
Fortunately, the man did not mind her following.
He walked very fast, and Gu Fan often had to run to catch up with him. When she encountered monsters, she ran even faster.
That should be a very kind man. He seemed to ignore her, but he helped her solve several monsters.
When she arrived at the exit of Lingshan, Gu Fan met a group of fellow disciples who were returning to the sect, so she thanked the man gratefully and prepared to say goodbye.
“You are so timid, will you dare to leave the sect in the future?” The man suddenly asked, in a casual tone that didn’t matter whether she answered or not.
Gu Fan shook her head. She would rather die than train.
The man smiled and threw her a defensive talisman: “I saved your life, it would be a pity to waste it. I’ll give you a good thing, maybe it can save your life again.”
Gu Fan excitedly accepted the defensive talisman, and just as she was about to thank him, the man flew away.
Being able to fly without the help of any magic weapon means that he must have at least reached the Jindan stage.
Later, when Gu Fan was a hundred years old, he never met such a kind and approachable high-level cultivator again.
