“Is it him?” The proud face of the monk before him overlapped with the image of that seemingly crazed youth in his memory.

Li Fan was taken aback.

“He survived? Not only did he avoid the disaster of Mo Sha’s World-destroying Catastrophe, but it seems he had something else happen in Yuandao State?”

“Such good fortune…”

Li Fan immediately took an interest in this Han Yi.

Upon careful observation, he was very different from the ragged, unkempt figure he remembered.

The current Han Yi was dressed in a golden purple robe, emitting a radiant glow. It was clearly of exceptional quality.

He wore a green jade ring on his left hand. In addition to functioning as a storage ring, it also left traces of Array Technique fluctuations.

At first glance, he radiated a distinguished, wealthy aura.

His own cultivation as a monk, too, was impressive.

Thirteen years ago, he hadn’t broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage yet.

Now, like Li Fan, he was at the Golden Core Cultivation Level.

“Interesting,” Li Fan’s eyes flickered, a hint of a smile creeping onto his face.

Under everyone’s watchful eye, in the center of the grand hall, the Tianxuan Mirror emitted a silver radiance that shone on the purple wooden box in Han Yi’s hands.

After a moment, the purple wooden box disappeared.

And on the leaderboard displayed by the Tianxuan Mirror, the characters subtly shifted.

At the top was written, “Han Yi, Tian Du Hua Feather Pill. Extends lifespan by 806 years.”

The cultivators in the hall were immediately abuzz.

“It’s actually true, this young man was not bluffing?”

“How fortunate for a mere Golden Core Cultivator to find such treasures that can extend lifespan by an 800 years! It truly envies me!”

“Tian Du Hua Yu… Seems like I have heard this name somewhere before?”

“The fallen Immortal Lan Yu who was previously in Yuandao State. Wasn’t the technique he cultivated, the ‘Tiandu Transformation Technique’? I heard the competition has grown fierce to inherit this Unified Dao Technique, causing many cultivators to fall. I wonder what relation this Tian Du Hua Feather Pill has to Immortal Lan Yu?”

The crowd was buzzing with whispers and the gazes toward Han Yi held a mixture of meanings.Cultivators present whose cultivation level was far above his continued to watch him intently, his face remaining calm and untroubled.

He even simply smiled at the crowd and said, “Let’s all concede! If everything goes as expected, the first place reward will be mine.”

Upon hearing these words, the expressions of the cultivators in the room took a turn for the worse.

Han Yi, however, was indifferent. He casually pulled out a folding fan, opened it with a swish, and leisurely fanned himself as he took a seat, waiting for the final results.

Han Yi’s sudden appearance sobered the previously lively atmosphere in the Sky Extremity Institute’s grand hall.

The first and second places were almost set in stone.

Although the third place holder might change, interest in it wasn’t as high.

Although the technique Yan Fajue displayed had great potential, it could only allow a person to reach the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm.

It simply wasn’t in the same league as God Transformation and even Unity-Path Techniques.

After half a day, two or three more monks entered the hall in succession.

Viewing the leaderboard on the face of the Tianxuan Mirror, they knew they no longer had hopes to compete for the top three spots.

However, due to the promise of receiving double the allocated reward from the Heavenly Lord, each one offered up their treasures one by one.

Seeing that it was time, Li Fan took out a Rebirth Longevity Fruit from his Storage Ring and set it before the Tianxuan Mirror.

The radiance flashed by, and the Tianxuan Mirror leaderboard updated again.

“Xiao Fan, Rebirth Longevity Fruit. Decelerates aging by three hundred years.”

Li Fan’s sudden rise caused a ripple to roll through the somewhat subdued hall.

One of the cultivators even abruptly stood up, his eyes bloodshot, fixedly staring at Li Fan.

It was as if Li Fan had committed a grievous offense against him.

“Calm down Brother Wan! Cool down!”

As it turned out, this man was Wan Yu, who had originally held second place.

Han Yi and Li Fan’s emergence had caused him to suddenly fall outside the top three and lose his chance of acquiring the Yan Fajue’s Technique.

Li Fan’s gaze merely lingered on him for a moment before completely disregarding him.

Under the watching eyes of the cultivators, Li Fan slowly walked over and sat near Han Yi’s seat.

Han Yi was observing Li Fan, a glimmer of sharpness flashing in his eyes.

However, he didn’t say anything at this time, just made a cupped fist salute towards Li Fan, his face sporting a mild smile.

Li Fan slightly nodded, then closed his eyes to concentrate his mind.

After half a serving of tea’s worth of time, a countdown of digits began to appear on the face of the Tianxuan Mirror.

The deadline for the bounty was not far away.

Just at this last moment, a figure dressed as a scholar rushed in as the grand finale.

He stopped underneath the face of the Tianxuan Mirror, squinting his eyes upwards.

His reaction next was quite interesting. He first let out a long sigh of relief.

Then he shook his head, showing a very regretful expression.

His gaze swept around and went straight to Han Yi.

He mimicked Li Fan, seated himself near Han Yi.

Han Yi couldn’t help but let out a chuckle: “Interesting!”.

The movement of his folding fan became a bit hurried.

The countdown on the Tianxuan Mirror slowly reset to zero.

And on the mirror’s leaderboard, only the top three rankings were left in the end.

A cultivator in a blue robe suddenly appeared in the hall.

He spoke aloud, “Han Yi, Xi Men Yue, Xiao Fan, the three of you please come with me.”

“The rest of the cultivators wait here, someone will come shortly to verify and distribute your rewards.”

Hearing this, Han Yi didn’t hesitate to take the lead and walked up front.

Once Li Fan had stood up, he gestured to Xi Men Yue, the second-ranked individual, inviting him to go ahead.

Xi Men Yue hesitated for a moment, quietly thanked him, and then followed Han Yi out.

Li Fan chose to walk last.

Under the envious gazes of numerous cultivators, the three of them, guided by the cultivator in the blue robe, exited the hall and turned right, proceeding towards the interior.

After passing through more than a dozen doors, they ultimately ended up in a small courtyard where a massive tree stood.

The tree seemed to have been very lush in the past, with sprawling branches that covered almost the entire courtyard.

However, now it looked as if it had suffered some mishap. All its leaves had fallen off.

Even the trunk of the tree was showing signs of dying, with patches of yellow appearing on its bark.

Underneath the tree, an elderly man with white hair stood.

His body was slightly hunched as he gently caressed the trunk of this dying tree in front of him.

His backside looked somewhat desolate.

“Honored to meet you, Immortal!”

Upon seeing this sight, the three of them instantly understood who this old man was.

They hurriedly bowed together.

Han Yi also put away his proud visage, becoming more respectful.

The Immortal known as Ji Cheng turned around slowly, looking at the three young men. His eyes displayed a flash of nostalgia, as well as a hint of sadness.

“You’ve all done very well.”

Ji Cheng paused after each word as he slowly spoke.

“To tell you the truth, this time, the effectiveness of the longevity treasures you all handed in far exceeds my original expectations.”

“Thanks to you all, I can now at least stand up and move around a bit.”

“To do some preparation for what comes after.”

Ji Cheng spoke slowly, his face revealing a faint trace of death.

“Do you mean to say that you have already consumed all these longevity treasures?”

“But why?”

At this point, Xi Men Yue couldn’t help but ask.
