"Sword Friend Xiao! Sword Friend Xiao!"
Calls echoed in his ears, and Li Fan was momentarily stunned before realizing they were calling for him.
On one hand, it was because he was still not familiar with the name of his clone.
On the other hand, he was just contemplating the advice given by Supreme Immortal Ji Cheng.
Without a doubt, the perspective of the Dao Fusion Immortal was far beyond Li Fan's current level.
His insightful guidance was indeed worth careful consideration.
Originally, Li Fan planned to use Yanfa Pearl to deduce the **Sitting Mountain Secret Art** to the Yuan Ying realm. Since the original version of the **Sitting Mountain Secret Art** was only a Foundation Building technique, and Li Fan had already cultivated to the Foundation Building stage, advancing further would leave him with nothing to cultivate.
Moreover, the characteristics of the **Sitting Mountain Secret Art** were just too suitable for Li Fan. He couldn't bear to give it up.
However, the words of Supreme Immortal Ji Cheng awakened Li Fan.
For him now, Yuan Ying-level techniques were truly tasteless, and it would be a pity to abandon them.
In any case, for a long time to come, the **Sitting Mountain Secret Art** would be his main cultivation technique.
And with the ability of **Returning to Reality**, he could inquire about the origin of the Heavenly Transformation Pills from Han Yi in this world. In the next life, he could take advantage of the situation to seize opportunities and replace them.
Then, advance directly to deducing the Dao Fusion version of the **Sitting Mountain Secret Art**.
"Try using Yanfa Pearl to deduce those techniques with special effects," Li Fan's thoughts turned, and several plans flashed in his mind.
"How to proceed can be considered after meeting Yanfa Pearl."
"The only thing that makes people worried is why Supreme Immortal Ji Cheng would give me guidance?"
"Is it because a man's words are good when he is about to die, or is it just because I recognized that Qingyun Willow?"
"The **Heavenly Doctor's Scriptures** clearly records that this kind of willow tree is quite common. It is distributed in almost every state. Recognizing it should not be a very special thing."
For these powerhouses standing at the top of the food chain in the Xuanhuang Realm, Li Fan had always been unhesitant to speculate about them with the worst intentions.
"Acts of goodwill for no reason have a very small probability. Maybe there is a flaw somewhere..."
In the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan's main body suddenly opened his eyes, searching for information about "Qingyun Willow."
After a moment, his expression became somewhat strange.
Then he successively searched for information about Moge Bamboo, Qingye Wood, Unwise Flower, Hundred-Spirit Eagle, Nine-Refining Deer, and hundreds of other plants and creatures recorded in the **Heavenly Doctor's Scriptures**.
The results made Li Fan somewhat wryly smile.
It turned out that, due to the passage of time or changes in the evolution of species, or for some other reason, many of the plants and animals recorded in the **Heavenly Doctor's Scriptures**, which were originally very common, had become scarce in the present era.
Just like the Qingyun Willow planted by Supreme Immortal Ji Cheng, it was now only found in some areas of Luoyan State.
And from what Li Fan knew, Supreme Immortal Ji Cheng was from the grassy and wild land of Luoyan State.
"Perhaps it's because of this reason that Supreme Immortal Ji Cheng showed some care for the clone?"
"After all, the older one gets, the more nostalgic one becomes. That's just human nature."
...
Various thoughts seemed intricate but were actually just a momentary consideration.
In the Tianquan City, within the Heavenly Extremity Pavilion, Ximen Yue looked at Li Fan with great interest and asked, "Friend Xiao seemed a bit distracted just now? What were you thinking about?"
Not long ago, after they left the courtyard where Supreme Immortal Ji Cheng was, the blue-robed cultivator brought them to this garden and asked them to wait here.
Later, someone would come to lead them to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
This garden wasn't large, but it had flowing streams and surrounded by artificial hills.
Looking around, the scenery in the garden changed gradually from spring to summer, autumn, and winter.
Lush growth, prosperity, withering, and death – four different scenes appeared on a single canvas.
Quite magical.
Li Fan stood by the stream, watching the fantastic interweaving of the four seasons, hands behind his back. He slowly said, "I don't mind telling you. I was just thinking about a question."
"What?" Ximen Yue was momentarily puzzled.
"The headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, where is it exactly?" Li Fan turned his head, his gaze intense as he stared at Ximen Yue.
"The headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance? Of course, it's..." Ximen Yue chuckled and was about to say something when suddenly his expression stiffened, and his words came to a halt.
"At..." Frowning, he pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer.
At this moment, Han Yi interjected, "Tianyu, Tianchen, Tianshu, Tianquan – these four states are the core territories of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Presumably, the headquarters is located at the central junction of these four states."
"Brother Han's speculation makes sense, but..." Li Fan shook his head, smiling, "I've traveled around Tianyu State for a while and even tried to cross the elemental fog barrier at the border of the state."
"It seems that these four states are closely adjacent to each other, and there shouldn't be anything in the middle."
"Of course, maybe it's because of my weak strength that I couldn't recognize it when we met." Li Fan didn't make an absolute statement.
Han Yi, hearing this, showed a look of surprise. "Oh? It's like that?"
Ximen Yue added, "Within our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance territory, there are countless cave worlds. It's very likely that the headquarters is established in a small world at the border of one of these four states."
Li Fan listened, smiled slightly, and didn't confirm or refute.
He thought in his heart, "Everyone knows that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has a headquarters. However, where this headquarters is located is rarely known."
"It's truly mysterious. It's a lucky thing to have the opportunity to explore it this time."
Han Yi snapped open his fan, showing some disdain for Li Fan's entanglement with this issue. "Why bother worrying about it? We'll know when we go there ourselves in a while."
"This is not necessarily the case." Li Fan thought in his heart, but he nodded with a smile, not refuting.
Instead, he chatted with Han Yi, "Speaking of which, when I found this **Life-Extending Longevity Fruit** in the Falling Immortal Realm, I thought I could at least get second place in this Immortal's reward. Unexpectedly, there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens."
Li Fan shook his head, looking admiringly at Han Yi. "Friend Ximen Yue's **Life-Prolonging Fruit** for five hundred years is already unimaginably precious."
"I didn't expect that Friend Han Yi would actually find a treasure that can prolong life for eight hundred years. Truly..."
Ximen Yue was also full of curiosity at this time and asked Li Fan, "That **Heavenly Transformation Pill**, where did Friend obtain it?"
"Is it related to the Blue Feather Immortal of Yuan Dao State?"
Li Fan also stared at Han Yi, very much anticipating his answer.
Being looked at by the two people with envious eyes, Han Yi couldn't help feeling a bit complacent.
He chuckled, opened his fan gracefully, and said, "It's nothing much. Since the Dao Pills have been handed over, there's no harm in telling you now."
"Have you two ever heard of the **Blue Feather Treasure Box**?"
Han Yi's voice was somewhat triumphant as he slowly asked.
"Blue Feather Treasure Box?" Ximen Yue repeated, his eyes somewhat confused.
Li Fan, on the other hand, seemed contemplative.
But he didn't answer; instead, he shook his head, looking at Han Yi, waiting for him to continue.
