“To sit and reap the benefits, I never thought such a technique would exist in the world.”

“Pity, he just mentioned it in passing, and did not leave the technique behind.” “I wonder if the remains of Daoist He can even be recovered…”

“The Mountain-Seating Secret”, is perfect for Li Fan, it can fully demonstrate the strengths of the [Real] prediction ability.

It was okay that he did not know of “The Mountain-Seating Secret” before but now he has learned of its profound mystery.

With that, he is determined to learn this technique, no one can stop him!

He Zhenghao has already died, seemingly not managing to pass on the technique.

But that’s alright, Li Fan has “The Secret of Swapping Day and Night”, he can use it to sacrifice his doppelgangers to pilfer He Zhenghao’s memories.

Perhaps he might be able to recreate “The Mountain-Seating Secret”.

If he really has bad luck and fails, Li Fan can continue planning in his next life.

Thinking of this, Li Fan couldn’t help but be interested in the ancient cave mansion where He Zhenghao fell.

He Zhenghao and five other Foundation Establishment cultivators all fell, with only one Golden Core Stage cultivator narrowly surviving. Such shocking news shook the Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

For a time, gossip was flying around.

After some investigation, Li Fan slowly found out the details of the incident.

This cave mansion was located inside a seabed volcano.

Due to the volcano being dormant, the cave mansion remained undiscovered. It was only when the volcano suddenly erupted not long ago that a passing cultivator noticed the cave mansion hidden within.

So it came to be that He Zhenghao and others formed a group to explore the mansion.

One Golden Core, five Foundation Establishments.

The team can’t be said to be weak.

After all, according to the information they received, this was only the cave mansion of a Golden Core cultivator called Real Person of Tianyang from ancient times.

By reason, exploring a Golden Core cultivator’s cave mansion, He Zhenghao and his party shouldn’t have had difficulty in escaping even if they

encountered danger.

But when they went deep into the cave mansion and triggered a restriction, they found out that this Real Person Tianyang, although he had a decent Golden Core cultivation level, practiced an ancient mechanism technique which has long been lost.

More than a dozen Stone Puppet Mechanisms were activated in an instant, completely surrounding them.

Only the Golden Core cultivator named Zheng Xiaoyun escaped, heavily injured.

The other five Foundation Establishment cultivators all died horribly at the hands of the Mechanical Puppets.

As three of the five casualties were island guards of Misthaven Islands, an

Nascent Soul expert was dispatched by the officials of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to investigate Zheng Xiaoyun for potential intentional homicide.

The conclusion was that it was indeed just an accident.

The death of the five Foundation Establishment cultivators did not deter others from exploring the cave mansion, but instead, fanned their enthusiasm.

Not mentioning the priceless Mechanism Puppets in the cave mansion, the heritage of the five Foundation Establishment cultivators alone had already made many people envious.

It was said that the second search party was already gathering.

This time, the leader is a Nascent Soul Expert, Master Guoxuan.

This person is fascinated by all kinds of secret techniques. Upon hearing that the lost mechanism technique has reappeared in the world, he was eager to see for himself.

Therefore, he decided to personally investigate.

“I wonder if this exploration will be successful? But those who will go this time are all Nascent Soul, Golden Core cultivators, I won’t be joining the excitement.”

“With so many treasures, they surely won’t fight with me for Daoist He’s remains right?”

“Perhaps I can put up a bounty task?”

“1000 contribution points? Maybe that’s too much, 500 should be near enough…’

Li Fan wasn’t worried about “The Mountain-Seating Secret” being leaked.

Cultivators in this world would not choose to carry their Technique Jade Slips with them all the time.

Generally, after mastering a technique, they would choose to destroy the jade slip. If they need it later, they will re-engrave it.

The so-called need refers to the time of technique trading.

Since one cannot practice multiple Immortal Laws simultaneously, techniques are the most precious resources in the Immortal Cultivation World.

For instance, techniques like “The Mountain-Seating Secret,” accidentally found in an Ancient Cave Mansion, could be sold to the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals or other organizations for a good price if not practiced by oneself.

Similarly, techniques like “The Minor Water Expansion Technique,” exchanged from the Tianxuan Realm, can also be sold back for a bit of profit if one decides to practice other techniques after a breakthrough.

Once a technique is sold, memories related to that technique in the Spirit Consciousness will naturally be erased.

“Techniques in the world can be divided into two kinds,”

“One kind is those derived after the Great Calamity, which have corresponding backups. Even if cultivators practicing them accidentally die, the technique will not be lost. It will be recycled and resold. Just like those two techniques found in Qian Hong’s Grave.”

“The second kind refers to techniques that existed before the Great Calamity, which were hidden from the world for various reasons. Only the cultivator who practices them would know about them. If this cultivator falls without leaving

a copy, the technique will generally be considered completely lost. ‘The Mountain-Seating Secret,’ ‘The Godly Sword of Calming Seas,’ and such belong to this kind.”

“And I can recreate these lost techniques from the bones of a cultivator with a certain probability using the Day Stealing and Sun Replacement Decision…”

“Or, this is the correct way to use the Day Stealing and Sun Replacement

Decision

“Could it be that I need to return to my old profession?” Li Fan couldn’t help but fall into deep contemplation.

After a while, Li Fan shook his head.

“I should first focus on getting the Daoist He’s bones. Before that, I need to complete some tasks to earn some contribution points.”

Only I in person can refine a clone.

Since I decided not to have any contact between the clone, Lin Fan, and myself, it’s better for me to release these tasks myself.

For other cultivators, 500 contribution points might take half a year to accumulate.

But for Li Fan, who has knowledge of many secrets of the Misthaven Ocean in his Spirit Consciousness, it only requires one task.

It has been three years since the last time he completed the Blue Blood Coral task. Completing one or two tasks now wouldn’t attract too much attention.

So, Li Fan began to browse the task list.

Soon, he picked a bounty task with a reward of 2000 points.

He accepted the task and replied.

“In the southwest of Misthaven Sea Realm, beneath Gong Sea Island, you will find the sea beast you are looking for in a cave.”

“It is equivalent to the Final Stage of Energy Refining, but they move in groups and are not easy to deal with.”

“Note, there are two layers to this cave. You need to explore carefully to find the entrance to the second cave.”

“The group of sea beasts is in the second cave.”

He only provided information, as always.

After half a day, the other party confirmed the authenticity of the information.

Generously, they gave Li Fan 1000 contribution points.

Once he received the contribution points, Li Fan immediately posted a bounty task with a reward of 500 contribution points in the Tianxuan Mirror.

In the task description, he wrote he had a close friendship with He Zhenghao for nearly forty years.

He could not bear to see him lying exposed to the elements, so he put a bounty to bring back his bones for a proper burial.

He thought that it would take a while for someone to accept the task.

Unexpectedly, it did not take long for someone to take the task.

The person was a member of the currently assembling expedition team, who was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

The man also sent a message asking Li Fan if he wanted to join them.

“With a Nascent Soul Expert leading the group, we will certainly return safely.”

The person swore confidently..
