Chapter 89: The Purple Sun Cave Heaven

  "Zi Yang Dong Tian..." At this point, he finally understood that meeting Li Xiao Man and others was not a coincidence, their sect was nearby.

  Ye Fan turned around and wanted to leave, he didn't want to get entangled with the sect that Li Xiaoman was in. Today's encounter, Li Xiaoman was calm and unruffled, that kind of tranquility was almost cold, although she gave him money, but it gave people a feeling of being high above, as if it was charity.

  "Let me just be an ordinary person, don't take the wrong path, am I really that unbearable...” He smiled self-deprecatingly, he wasn't sentimental or resentful, everything passed by lightly and without a trace. Ye Fan thought that if they were to meet again, a smile would suffice, no need to dwell on anything, sometimes just lightly brushing past each other might be a better choice.

  Ye Fan had already walked tens of meters away, but he suddenly stopped again. He had been thinking about how to shake off the pursuit of the Jiang family knights, and at this moment, he suddenly thought that maybe he could use the Purple Sun Cave Heaven to resolve the crisis?

  At present, his strength is not strong enough, and it is impossible to confront people head-on. For the time being, he can only think carefully and mutter to himself: "I have always been unable to get rid of them, there must be a reason for this. Even the strongest person cannot have such keen spiritual awareness, and can continue to investigate the clues..."

  Ye Fan thought that since the Purple Sun Cave Heaven was one of the six cave heavens blessed lands of the State of Yan, its surrounding mountains and rivers must have been engraved with "Dao patterns", condensing mysterious powers, making this place a world unto itself. If he went deeper, he might be able to cut off contact with the outside world.

  "Not bad, I can borrow from this place!" After careful consideration, Ye Fan walked towards the depths of the mountain range.

  "What a rich and dense spiritual energy, it's indeed a blessed land."

  At this moment, the sky has already darkened, but you can still see that among the mountains there are strips of purple air swirling around. The Purple Sun Cave Heaven is as its name suggests, in the area where it is located, a purple mist surges forward, and occasionally a fierce sunlight cuts through the void.

  Even in the outer region, it can be felt extraordinary, with peaks and valleys lush, clear springs gurgling, vegetation dense, many plants seem to have spiritual power, with a bit of luster on their leaves.

  Ye Fan arrived at the entrance of the Ziyang Cave Heaven, carefully observing to see if he could directly sneak in. However, he found it difficult to do so, as there were not only people patrolling the mountain gate but also fierce beasts guarding it.

  A two-headed monster, its body was full of bumps and lumps, resembling a giant alligator, but it had a pair of fleshy wings, like two small mountains lying there, with eyes as big as a face basin, opening and closing with flashes of light.

  "What's going on here? Why are these young boys kneeling?" Ye Fan was surprised to find several 16- or 17-year-old boys kneeling in front of the gate, unable to get up.

  A monk who was touring the mountain passed by and said, "You'd better leave, your talent is too ordinary, even if you work harder it won't do."

  "Immortal master, give us another chance."

  The monk sighed and said, "You've been kneeling for several days, I'm not a heartless person, but your qualifications are really too mediocre, you can't pass the assessment, so hurry up and leave the mountain."

  "Immortal Master, we don't ask for anything else, just one last chance." The few young men knelt down and begged bitterly.

  "Alright, I'll give you all another chance. In half a month's time, I will re-examine the disciples and whether or not you can seize this opportunity to stay behind again is up to yourselves."

  "Thank you, Master!" The young men all knelt down together.

  Yue Fan walked out in big strides upon hearing this.

  "Who is it?" The monk turned his head back.

  "Master Xian, I've come to apprentice!" Ye Fan shouted loudly.

  "It won't start until half a month later, you've come too early."

  "My home is too far away, I walked all the way here, taking half a year to arrive. I'm afraid of being delayed, so I beg for your mercy, Master." Ye Fan had observed him for a while and felt that this cultivator's heart wasn't very hard, and he could probably be persuaded.

  "This is not in line with regulations."

  Ye Fan's face was flushed with sincerity as he recounted how he had collected coins, even begged, and traveled over mountains and rivers, walking thousands of miles for more than half a year before finally finding this place.

  This so-called immortal master was not very old, only about 27 or 28 years old. He had a soft heart and saw Ye Fan's tattered clothes and dirty face. In the end, he sighed, nodded, and said, "You can go in with them."

  Ye Fan hastily thanked him and followed those young men into the Ziyang Cave Heaven. All the immortal mountains were surrounded by purple air, looking hazy and indistinct. The halls stood on the mountain peaks, extremely ethereal, with a strong fairyland charm.

  "This Zi Yang Dong Tian's spiritual energy is even more intense than that of the Ling Xu Dong Tian..." Ye Fan muttered to himself, nodding secretly in agreement, this place was indeed extraordinary.

  Entering the depths of the fairy mountain, the grass and trees are lush, the spiritual medicine is abundant, a clear breath rushes to meet, this is an extremely beautiful and peaceful place.

  Ye Fan and those young men were settled down, living near a bamboo forest. There were some wooden houses here, specially reserved for miscellaneous workers to live in. Generally, the disciples who came to practice were very few.

  After arriving here, Ye Fan gradually calmed down. If he could still be found like this, then he had no choice but to fight to the death; there was no other way out.

  "It's probably something on me that they can sense and track."

  Ye Fan first ruled out the green bronze block, this mysterious treasure, many cultivators had held it in their hands back then and couldn't identify it, let alone now that it was submerged in his golden sea of suffering.

  Is it the Tao Te Ching? It's also unlikely, as long as he doesn't activate the Xuan method, his golden bitter sea is quiet and still, like a godly iron with no ripples or waves, outsiders can hardly sense it.

  "Isn't this 'source' leaking my whereabouts? It shouldn't be." Ye Fan was puzzled and muttered to himself, "Never mind that for now, first refine this 'source' away."

  In the following days, this bamboo forest was very quiet, without any outsiders coming to disturb it, and it was a very suitable place for cultivation. The powerful knights of the Jiang family did not come looking for them.

  Ye Fan began to refine that piece of "source", each time firmly grasping it in the palm of his hand, carefully melting and refining, every day only opening up a little bit, he was afraid that if he was too fierce, the vast life energy inside the "source" would all rush out, triggering a source power wave, and being discovered by others.

  On the sixth day, with the bright moon in the sky, Ye Fan refined a small amount of "yuan". At this moment, the golden bitter sea suddenly emitted waves of tsunami-like sounds, shocking and frightening. He hastily stopped and hid the "yuan" away.

  "What a hassle......" His special physique made him somewhat helpless, he thought he could control it, but when he broke through, he still emitted a terrifying sound, the strange phenomenon of the bitter sea was really shocking, if someone detected it, it would inevitably trigger a huge sensation.

  "This piece of 'origin' seems to be unable to be completely refined, can only wait until leaving this place to continue."

  However, his gains were not small. At this moment, the golden sea of bitterness had grown by another circle, with eight more "divine patterns" swirling above it. Ye Fan refined them into the original piece of "divine iron ore", constantly hammering and engraving the "Dao pattern" on the green copper block.

  The next day, the tranquility was broken and several young monks came here, discovering Ye Fan.

  "It's you... that little beggar!" Several people were shocked, and they were the same disciples of Ziyang Dongtian who had met a few days ago, but Li Xiaoman was not among them.

  Yesterday, Ye Fan made a big noise. Some monks came to investigate and didn't find anything at night. These few people were also curious and came over in the morning to take a look.

  "How did you enter our Zi Yang Dong Tian? Are you here to find Li Shimei?" Those few people were extremely surprised, not expecting to see Ye Fan here.

  "The master of your Purple Sun Cave Heaven met me by chance and said that I have extraordinary talent, insisting on accepting me as his apprentice..." Ye Fan blurted out.

  Several people naturally wouldn't believe it, all with unsavory expressions. One of the women said in a low voice: "You little beggar, your face is really thick!"

  Just then, a middle-aged man appeared in the bamboo forest, circled around for a few laps, and stopped, saying: "I feel the breath of 'yuan'."

  "The young disciples hastily paid their respects, saying 'We've seen Master Shibo!'"

  Ye Fan was suddenly startled, this person's spiritual awareness was too keen, the source had already been sealed by him, but still sensed it.

  "You don't have to be so polite." This middle-aged man had a ruddy complexion and jet-black hair, but his eyes were very worn out, which didn't quite match his outward age.

  "This person's real age is probably over 70 or 80 years old..." Ye Fan secretly speculated, feeling that this was a formidable strongman.

  "On your body..." He stared at Ye Fan with one glance.

  "Nice to meet you, senior." Ye Fan bowed slightly.

  "Aren't you a disciple of my Zi Yang Dong Tian?"

  "No."

  The middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of Ye Fan, as if he had traversed a distance through space, and grasped Ye Fan's wrist with one hand.

  "Senior, what's this..." Ye Fan was shocked, thinking he was going to make a move.

  "Your physique..." The middle-aged man showed a surprised expression, then shook his head and sighed, it was clear that he had seen a lot and made a judgment in an instant.

  Just a moment ago, Ye Fan's heart was extremely tense. Fortunately, his bitter sea was dead silent, and the dark ice sealed the golden bitter sea, as if it had become a land of silence. When the middle-aged man explored there, he didn't find anything unusual.

  This made Ye Fan's heart feel astonished, in a situation where he was deliberately hiding, unexpectedly even this high-ranking expert personally tried to probe, and was deceived.

  "Is there a 'source' on you?" the middle-aged man asked.

  Ye Fan saw that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he took out the small wooden box and said: "I don't know if this is the 'source', but it's something that has been passed down in my family."

  The middle-aged man opened the wooden box, took a look and said: "Not bad, it's indeed the source, although not pure, but also very rare, I don't know if you are willing to part with it?"

  "This..."

  "You can't cultivate, this 'source' is useless to you. Don't worry, I won't let you lose out. If you're willing to exchange, you'll have wealth that will last for ten lifetimes."

  "But I don't want to switch out..." Ye Fan showed a difficult expression. Entering the Lingxu Cave Heaven, although he temporarily got rid of the Jiang family's knights, he didn't expect that he would expose the "source" instead, which made him feel very helpless, but there was no way to do anything about it.

  "Are you really unwilling to exchange?" asked the middle-aged man calmly, without any intention of intimidating him.

  "I..."

  "Never mind, since it's like that, I won't force anyone to do anything. It's just a matter of origin, and for me, it's not important either." After saying this, he turned around and left, disappearing completely from everyone's sight in just a few steps.

  Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat; this was absolutely an expert.

  "The little beggar didn't expect that you would have a 'source' on your body, and even if it's an impure small piece of 'source', it's still more precious than the Spirit Medicine."

  Several young men and women all showed unusual colors, never expecting that Ye Fan's body would have a spiritual object, and some people naturally gave birth to greedy hearts.

  "You little beggar, you really don't know how to seize opportunities. Do you know who that person was just now? He is the second most powerful person in the Purple Sun Cave Heaven. With a cultivation of only over a hundred years, he is stronger than several ancestors. If you had given him the 'Source' just now and formed a good relationship with such a figure, the benefits would have been endless..."

  Several young men and women have made conditions to get this "yuan", Ye Fan cannot agree.

  Until a few people left, Ye Fan muttered to himself, "Although I temporarily avoided the knights of the Jiang family, but I exposed the 'source'. I don't know if there will be any trouble."

  Half an hour later, Li Xiaoman appeared in the bamboo forest, accompanied by the young men and women who had just left.

  Li Xiaoman did not ask Ye Fan why he appeared here, and calmly said: "Ye Fan, you can't cultivate, holding this 'source' is useless, it's better to exchange it for ten generations of good fortune..."

  Ye Fan directly shook his head and refused, saying: "I won't swap!"
