Chapter 90 Leaving Without Looking Back

  This is a quiet place, and there are almost no disciples who come here to practice on weekdays. The bamboo forest is dotted with small wooden houses, which are all inhabited by miscellaneous workers.

  A gentle breeze stirs, a whole bamboo forest sways lightly, the emerald green leaves rustling softly, fresh air blows towards me.

  Li Xiaoman's white clothes fluttered gently in the wind, making her look ethereal and otherworldly. Her black hair was thick and luscious, her skin as smooth as jade, and her eyes sparkled like water. She gazed at Ye Fan and said, "You are a mortal, 'yuan' is of no use to you."

  "I may be just an ordinary person, but I also know the value of this thing. You are cultivators and attach great importance to it, how can you say that it is useless to me?" Ye Fan weighed the "source" in his hand and smiled lightly: "It contains a large amount of life energy, I think for an ordinary person, prolonging one's lifespan shouldn't be a problem."

  "You... a mortal using yuan to prolong your lifespan, what a waste!" The several young men and women beside him all revealed unpleasant expressions.

  "If you want to increase your lifespan and make your body strong, there are actually many ways to do so. You can use this 'yuan' to exchange for some Baicao liquid to drink."

  "Not bad, if you're willing to hand over this 'source', we'll naturally make sure you're satisfied."

  Those young men and women all said that this "source" was too tempting for them, and they were eager to exchange it.

  "Sorry, I don't want to trade. What you said doesn't interest me." Ye Fan categorically refused, no matter what, he would not exchange the "source".

  Those young men and women all changed color, for them, the "source" was extremely significant, being in the hands of an ordinary person was like a pearl covered in dust, it was really a waste, they all wanted to take it for themselves.

  Li Xiaoman stood quietly there, her white clothes fluttering, her beautiful hair lightly dancing in the wind. She said: "You don't know what it means for an ordinary person to possess 'yuan'. It's not wealth, it will only bring you disaster. You're just a common person, and you can't keep it safe."

  "Are you still going to fight for it?" Ye Fan put away the "source" and looked at the few people in front of him.

  Except for Li Xiaoman's calm expression, the others all looked unpleasant, staring at Ye Fan with an unblinking gaze.

  "Just now, the second master of the Purple Sun Cave Heaven didn't use his power to oppress others, could it be that all of you still want to force your way in?"

  Li Xiaoman's words were calm and unruffled, saying: "You having a piece of 'yuan' is no longer a secret, once the news leaks out, even if you can be safe for the time being, but your future safety will be hard to guarantee."

  "You mean I can only choose to exchange?"

  Li Xiaoman nodded and said, "Exchange it with the immortal cultivator, from then on you will enjoy endless benefits for the rest of your life, no longer need to rush about, and can be at ease as a wealthy gentleman, enjoying glory and wealth all your life."

  "Your strength is not so profound, and the life essence contained in this 'source' may not be something you can refine."

  It seems that Yan Fan's tone has loosened up, and several people beside him chimed in.

  "We may not be able to refine it directly, but we can hand it over to our seniors in the sect."

  "That senior who just made his move is the second most powerful person in our Ziyang Cave Heaven, and he once helped Li Shimei regain her youth. If Li Shimei can present this 'yuan' to him today, she will surely be even more appreciated, and we may also get closer to that senior and listen to his teachings."

  Ye Fan smiled slightly and said nothing, looking at Li Xiaoman.

  "Not bad, I really want to give this 'source' to that senior." Li Xiaoman's expression was calm and serene, she gently tucked away the stray hair in front of her forehead, quietly looking at Ye Fan, saying: "I won't owe you anything, will make you feel satisfied."

  Ye Fan shook his head and smiled blandly, saying: "Just like you used to be..."

  Li Xiaoman didn't refute, took a few steps forward, gazed at Ye Fan and said: "I know you're very confident and capable, unwilling to be an ordinary person, but the fact is that your physique can't cultivate, you can only be an ordinary person. I hope you can be content with being an ordinary person, don't think too much, clear-headed, put down those unrealistic fantasies. 'Source' really has no use for you. Accept reality, being an ordinary person isn't necessarily a bad thing."

  "It seems we don't really understand each other." Ye Fan didn't say anything more.

  "People always strive upwards..." Li Xiaoman paused slightly and said: "The immortal and mortal are two different worlds."

  "Are immortals and mortals two different worlds?" Ye Fan smiled slightly, speaking in a careless tone, "Who can say for sure what the future holds? Maybe I'll appear on your path someday, and don't accidentally get surpassed by this ordinary person."

  Next to them, several young disciples of the Zi Yang Dong Tian revealed unusual expressions. They felt that the conversation between these two people had a special flavor and didn't seem as simple as neighbors. Especially since Ye Fan didn't look like an eleven or twelve-year-old child at all.

  "No matter what, I won't give up this 'source'. You can leave now." Ye Fan stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation, directly sending the guests away.

  "You..."

  Several disciples of the Purple Sun Cave Heaven looked unwell, and Li Xiaoman turned to leave before glancing at Ye Fan and saying, "Accept reality early on and be an ordinary person."

  Suddenly, outside the Purple Sun Cave Heaven, a great chaos erupted, with shouts and scolding voices ringing out. Then, a red glow tore through the sky, and in the distance, cultivators began to engage in a fierce battle.

  "Go and take a look!" Several young disciples rushed out quickly from the bamboo forest.

  Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat, someone was breaking through the mountain gate, he instantly thought of Jiang family's knight, he decided to hide in the crowd to take a look and make early preparations.

  At this moment, the Ziyang Cave Heaven was in a state of turmoil. Many cultivators rushed towards the mountain gate. When Ye Fan arrived here, he found that several people had been seriously injured and were being carried back.

  "Who is so bold as to sneak into my Zi Yang Dong Tian and still dare to fight after being discovered?"

  "He is a powerful knight, riding on a terrifying monster, and has defeated five of our top masters from the Purple Sun Cave Heaven. He almost broke through, but was stopped by our Master Uncle."

  ……

  Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Ye Fan was almost certain that the Knights of the Jiang family had arrived here.

  "What a lingering ghost!" This made him frown.

  Just then, a cheer came from ahead and someone shouted: "Master Shu Zu is indeed powerful, he has captured that terrifying knight."

  A thirty-six or seven-year-old middle-aged man stepped out of thin air, walking back with ease and composure. He was the second most powerful person in the Purple Sun Cave Heaven. Not long ago, Ye Fan had seen him before. At this moment, he brought back a ferocious beast and an unconscious knight, throwing them heavily to the ground, saying: "First, take him into the stone prison."

  "It's time to leave, the Ziyang Dongtian helped me a great deal, it's best to lock up this hot potato for a few more days..." Ye Fan could imagine that when the people of Ziyang Dongtian found out about the Knight's identity, they would definitely regret it.

  Ye Fan walked out of the mountain gate of Ziyang Dongtian and quickly ran towards the outside of the mountains. However, at this moment, several people noticed his departure, looked at each other, and chased after him.

  "If I can survive this disaster, I will find a quiet place to cultivate myself well!" Ye Fan encountered a series of events and urgently hoped to become stronger. He yearned for unparalleled power.

  When he ran out dozens of miles, Ye Fan gradually felt something was wrong, there were people following him behind, the speed was not slower than his at all, and they were about to catch up with him. His heart skipped a beat, and he rushed into a chaotic stone forest, hiding behind a giant rock, looking back.

  "It's him..."

  The newcomer was about twenty-six or seven years old, and was one of Li Xiaoman's senior fellow disciples. Not long ago, he was still thinking of his 'yuan', and his speed was very fast, entering the Stone Forest in the blink of an eye.

  "I see you, come out. Leave 'yuan' behind, I'll give you a way out."

  "As expected, you want to rob me of my 'origin'..." Ye Fan hid behind the giant rock without making a move. This person's strength was not weak, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to catch up with him.

  Even if he gets the 'source', he will definitely not let me go, since that's the case, I might as well take the initiative! Ye Fan made up his mind.

  "If you don't come out, don't blame me for not giving you a way out." This person was very cautious, he felt that Ye Fan's speed was too fast, almost getting rid of him, which was clearly abnormal for an ordinary person.

  As this person turned near the giant stone, a golden light suddenly burst forth, tearing through the void in an instant with a "whoosh" sound.

  "Hmm"

  Blood splattered everywhere, a head rolled down, the blood flower that burst from the headless corpse was over two meters high, and then it fell to the ground with a "thud".

  Ye Fan retrieved the golden book, just as his expression changed, several figures appeared in the distance, rapidly approaching. He hastily glanced back and flew away, unaware if Li Xiaoman was among them, as the dense vegetation in the mountains made it difficult to see clearly.

  "I hope you're not behind..." Ye Fan walked away without looking back.
