My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 348 – 325

Chapter 348: 325

After a while, the bewildered look in the eyes of the old fisherman slowly receded.

However, he seemed completely unaware of his own strange behavior and continued to speak.

“The aura of your sword technique, I find it quite familiar.”

“It seems extremely similar to what I’m looking for. I just sensed an energy fluctuation and thought my lost object was near.”

“I’ve prematurely rejoiced!”

The old fisherman shook his head, somewhat wistful.

“Similar… lost object?”

From the information he had previously checked, Li Fan had already known.

The old fisherman wanders following his nose through various states because he’s lost something of his own.

And now he’s sensed the aura of the Great Five Elements Annihilation Sword and tracked it to Li Fan.

In a flash, Li Fan thought of a possibility.

The Sky Slaughter Sword!

But if that answer is true, then the strength of this elder…

The Heaven Killing Sword Hilt, is on par with Green Wind, and even surpasses it a little.

The broken Tiansha Sword Body can already compete with Mo Sha on some level.

How powerful will the complete Sky Slaughter Sword be?

And what could the cultivation level of this old fisherman, potentially the owner of the Sky Slaughter Sword, be?

There are two choices in front of Li Fan now.

One is to truthfully tell the old fisherman about the Sky Slaughter Sword.

Although he might earn some kind of reward from such a strong character as the old fisherman.

But…

This old fisherman has been roaming around in the Xuanhuang World for hundreds of years.

Why did he lose his memory in the first place?

Why did the Sky Slaughter Sword become broken and separated from him?

The matters involved are too significant, the level it implicates is too high.

Being the least bit careless, once you get dragged into the dispute, you’re doomed.

I’m afraid the [Real] trick may not even have time to be performed.

The second is to pretend you don’t know.

Although he will miss the huge opportunity, for Li Fan, he can use his avatar in his next life, or even do something safer.

Through other cultivators, he can reveal to the old fisherman that the lost item is the Sky Slaughter Sword in the Misthaven Ocean.

He would see if there was any danger to his life, and what changes would come after.

If he could truly gain astonishing benefits from it, for Li Fan, it would only be a matter of delaying for two or three lifetimes.

After comparing the two choices, it’s obvious that the second one is the most prudent.

So…

Li Fan chose to wait.

He was waiting to see if this strong recluse, the old fisherman, would be like the Celestial Doctor before him, capable of discerning the psychological activities of the cultivator in front of him.

Li Fan had already thought through the causes and effects of things in his mind.

If the old fisherman really could perceive what Li Fan was thinking, then the second option of pretending not to know would not be possible.

On the contrary, if the old fisherman couldn’t-

Then making the second choice would undoubtedly be the right decision.

Perhaps it’s because of the old fisherman’s abnormal mental state, or perhaps he’s not skilled in this area, and the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart worked partly to its advantage.

In any case, fortunately-

Li Fan pondered in front of the wistful old fisherman, silent for one breath, two, three.

But the elder had no particular reaction.

Therefore, Li Fan was convinced that the other party could not sense his thoughts.

He couldn’t help feeling lively in his heart.

At the fourth breath, he pretended to have thought for a while and responded, “The sword technique I realized seems to be similar to senior’s lost object?”

“It seems like I really have a connection with senior.”

Then, Li Fan asked, “What did senior lose? I heard you’ve been looking for a long time and you haven’t found it?”

The old fisherman shook his head, “I can’t remember, just like my name, I can’t remember.”

“But, if I can see it again, I should be able to remember.”

“Indeed, as long as I find it, I can recall everything…”

Seeing the fisherman was about to lapse into confusion again, Li Fan handed over his Storage Ring, interrupting him.

“In that case, senior, please take a look and see if there is anything of yours inside.”

“We are so fortunate to have met, perhaps you could find something useful.”

This has always been the necessary action of every cultivator upon seeing the fisherman.

The fisherman didn’t refuse, he took the ring and started reviewing it.

“Ha ha, the young man is not very strong, but he’s pretty well-off.”

A moment later, the fisherman praised Li Fan.

Li Fan’s face remained expressionless.

For Li Fan, his only real secret was [Real].

Even if the rest were to be exposed, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

So, he wasn’t nervous about the fisherman’s investigation.

The elderly fisherman was identifying item by item.

“This is not it, and neither is this one.”

“This…”

“Hm?”

Li Fan’s heart skipped a beat as he watched the elder take out an item from the Storage Ring and look it over carefully.

“Interesting.” The elder revealed an intrigued expression.

The item that even the fisherman found fascinating was indeed the treasure of the Stealing Heaven and Earth Sect — the Day Theft and Day Exchange Order — which had always been taken lightly by Li Fan and left to gather dust in a corner.

“If I can make use of this and trade for a technique from the fisherman, it would be more than perfect.”

Li Fan turned his thoughts quickly and immediately portrayed an extremely surprised expression, asking repeatedly, “Senior, is this the item you lost?”

The elderly fisherman held the Day Theft and Day Exchange Order, paused slightly.

“This?”

“No, no, no.” He immediately shook his head in denial.

“I just think that this little thing is very interesting.”

“It has been a long time since I have encountered such a rare item.”

Looking at Li Fan, he asked earnestly, “Young man, are you willing to part with it?”

Li Fan replied righteously, “Compared to senior’s wisdom , I held this item for a long time, thinking it was nothing more than a token with storage capabilities.”

“In my hands, it is a wasted treasure. Senior, please feel free to take it!”

Seeing Li Fan’s agreement, the fisherman nodded.

In the blink of an eye, the Day Theft and Day Exchange Order disappeared from his hand, and who knows where it went.

“I won’t take your item for nothing.”

Again, the fisherman looked at Li Fan carefully, making Li Fan very uncomfortable.

Only then did he say, “Hmm, I think I have something here that will be of great use to you.”

He moved the fish basket from his back, reached his right hand in and grabbed something.

“It’s her!”

He then pulled a figure out of his basket, and threw it in front of Li Fan.

Li Fan looked carefully only for his heart to jolt.

This person was wearing the standard black and yellow robe of the Immortal Alliance. She was clearly a member of the Alliance.

As if bound by invisible ropes layer upon layer, she struggled like a fish out of water.

“How strong she is after starving for so long.” The fisherman murmured, then reached out his hand and slapped her.

The female cultivator immediately fainted.

“Alright, the trade is completed, and now I must depart.”

“Young man, until we meet again.”

The fisherman mounted his fish basket on his back again.

Before Li Fan could respond, the fisherman stepped away and vanished.

Only a faint voice carrying a nursery rhyme came to his ears, but the specific content of the song was unclear.

“What a narrow escape, and an unexpected gain.”

Glancing at the motionless female cultivator of the Immortal Alliance next to him, Li Fan looked at the direction where the fisherman disappeared, his face showing a thoughtful expression.
