Chapter 327: The Fisherman Wants to Sell Fish

Chapter 327: The Fisherman Wants to Sell Fish

After a while, the confusion in the Old Fisherman's eyes gradually dissipated.

However, he was completely oblivious to his own strangeness and continued speaking.

"I find the aura of your sword technique very familiar."

"It seems extremely similar to what I've been looking for. Just now, I sensed a fluctuation of the aura and thought my lost item was here."

"I got excited for nothing!"

The Old Fisherman shook his head, feeling somewhat emotional.

"Similar... lost item?"

From the information he had previously viewed, Li Fan already knew.

This Old Fisherman had been wandering around the states because he couldn't find something of his own.

And now, he sensed the aura of the Five Elements Annihilation Sword and traced it to Li Fan.

In a flash, Li Fan thought of a possibility.

Heavenly Calamity Sword!

But if this answer was true, then this old man's strength...

The handle of the Heavenly Calamity Sword was on par with the Green Wind and even surpassed it.

Furthermore, the broken body of the Heavenly Calamity Sword could compete with Ink Death.

If the Heavenly Calamity Sword were intact, how strong would it be?

And what cultivation level would this Old Fisherman, who was possibly the master of the Heavenly Calamity Sword, be?

There were two choices before Li Fan.

One was to truthfully disclose the information about the Heavenly Calamity Sword that he knew.

Although he might receive rewards from someone as powerful as the Old Fisherman.

However...

This Old Fisherman had been wandering around the Xuanhuang Realm for hundreds of years.

Why had he lost his memory in the first place?

Why had the Heavenly Calamity Sword become so broken and separated from him?

The implications were too great, and the levels involved were too high.

If he wasn't careful, once he got involved in a conflict, he could be killed permanently.

Even [Truth] might not be able to save him in time.

The second option was to pretend not to know.

Although he would miss this great opportunity, Li Fan could use a clone in the next life, or be even more cautious by having other cultivators inform the Old Fisherman that the lost item was the Heavenly Calamity Sword in the Cong Yun Sea.

Then, he could see if there was any danger to his life, and what changes it might bring later.

If he really could have gained some amazing benefits from it, for Li Fan, it would have been just a delay of two or three lifetimes.

Upon comparing the two options, the second one was obviously the safest.

So...

Li Fan chose to wait.

He was waiting to see if this hidden powerhouse, the Old Fisherman, was like the former Heavenly Doctor, able to read his thoughts.

Li Fan had already thought over the causes and consequences of this matter in his mind.

If the Old Fisherman really could perceive Li Fan's thoughts, then the second option of pretending not to know was out of the question.

On the other hand, if the Old Fisherman couldn't...

Then making the second choice was naturally unquestionable.

Perhaps it was because the Old Fisherman's mental state was abnormal, or perhaps it was because he wasn't proficient in this aspect and the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart had partially come into effect.

In any case, fortunately.

Before the emotional Old Fisherman, Li Fan remained silent for one breath, two breaths, three breaths.

Yet this old man had no special reaction.

So, Li Fan was sure that the other party couldn't sense his thoughts.

His mind couldn't help but loosen up.

On the fourth breath, he pretended to ponder for a while before saying, "The sword technique I comprehended unexpectedly bears some resemblance to Senior's lost item?"

"It seems that I have some fate with Senior."

Then, Li Fan asked again, "Senior, what exactly did you lose? I heard that you've been searching for it for a long time and haven't found it?"

The Old Fisherman shook his head. "I can't remember, just like my name, I've forgotten it all."

"However, if I can see it again, I should be able to remember."

"Yes, as long as I find it, I can remember everything again..."

Seeing the fisherman beginning to drift into confusion again, Li Fan handed over his storage ring, interrupting him.

"Since that's the case, Senior, why don't you take a look inside to see if there's anything of yours?"

"We have such a fate together, so maybe you'll find something useful here."

This is also a standard action for every cultivator when meeting a fisherman.

The fisherman didn't refuse and took the ring, inspecting it.

"Heh, although your strength isn't much, your wealth is not bad."

After a moment, the fisherman praised.

Li Fan remained calm.

For Li Fan, his true secret lied only in [Truth].

Even if everything else was known to others, it wasn't a big deal.

This was why he wasn't afraid of the fisherman's inspection.

The Old Fisherman identified each item.

"This isn't it, nor is this one."

"This...?"

"Hmm?"

Li Fan's heart skipped a beat as he watched the old man take something out of the storage ring and carefully examine it.

"Interesting," he showed an interested expression.

The item that even a strong person like the fisherman found interesting was the Sun Stealing Token that Li Fan had detected problems with and left in a corner to eat dust.

Sun Stealing Token.

"If I can make good use of it and exchange a cultivation method from the fisherman's hand, that would be great."

Li Fan's thoughts quickly turned, and he immediately made a very surprised expression, saying, "Senior, is this the thing you lost?"

The Old Fisherman held the token, slightly stunned.

"This?"

"No, no." He quickly shook his head.

"I just think this little thing is very interesting."

"I haven't encountered such a rare thing for a long time."

He looked at Li Fan and asked seriously, "Young man, are you willing to part with it?"

Li Fan said solemnly, "I'm not as discerning as Senior. I've had this item for a long time, but I always thought it was just a token with a storage function."

"In my hands, it's just a precious pearl left in dust. Please take it, Senior!"

Seeing Li Fan agree, the fisherman nodded.

In an instant, the Sun Stealing Token disappeared from his hand, and Li Fan didn't know where it went.

"I won't take your stuff for nothing."

The fisherman carefully looked at Li Fan again, making Li Fan feel a chill.

Then he said, "Hmm, it seems I have something very useful to you."

He brought out the fish basket from behind him, reached in with his right hand, and grabbed something.

"It's her!"

Then he grabbed a figure from it and threw it in front of Li Fan.

Li Fan looked closely, his eyelids jumping.

The person was wearing the standard black and yellow robe of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and was obviously a member of the organization.

As if bound by invisible ropes layer by layer, she could only twist her body like a fish out of water, struggling incessantly.

"After starving for so long, she's still so strong," the fisherman muttered, then reached out and slapped her.

The female cultivator immediately passed out.

"Alright, the deal is done, I'm leaving."

"Young man, we'll meet again if we're destined."

The Old Fisherman put the fish basket back on his back.

Before Li Fan could respond, he stepped out with one foot and disappeared.

Only a faint song rang out, but the specific content could not be heard clearly.

"What a surprise, with unexpected gains."

Glancing at the motionless female cultivator of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance beside him, Li Fan looked in the direction where the fisherman disappeared, with a contemplative look on his face.
