My Simulated Longevity

Jiao Xiuyuan transformed into thousands of puppets, and he single-handedly supported [Qianli Tang], a huge business organization spread throughout the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

His shadow may be found in various ruins and in the deserted wilderness.

He can even stir up the storm in Xuanhuang Realm by himself.

It's quite a bit like using business as a Taoist approach.

But this person's luck seems to be a bit unlucky.

He said he would never do business at a loss, but judging from Li Fan's experience with him, Jiao Xiuyuan seemed to often lose money when doing business.

No matter when I first got to know him, he hoarded a large number of hidden talismans. As a result, the price of hidden talismans plummeted due to the Five Elements Cave.

Later, he worked hard to unearth some small Medicine King Cauldrons. As long as he waits for the True Medicine King Cauldron to return, he will definitely be able to make a lot of money.

But as if he was born without that fate, he sold all these little medicine king cauldrons at low prices early on.

"Perhaps it is true that I have never lost money, but it seems that I always miss the opportunity to make a fortune."

"Even if he worked with me as Zhuang Ling Mist Grass in my last life, in the end, because of his greed and his slowness in stopping, the huge wealth he acquired was instantly wiped out."

"Only in this life will he really make a lot of profits. I don't know if any changes will happen to him."

While Li Fan was thinking, he carefully observed the objects placed by Jiao Xiuyuan on the shelves to see if he could find any more items such as the Xiaoyao Wangding.

The things on the shelves are very miscellaneous, including all kinds of talismans, formation diagrams, and elixirs.

Li Fan paid special attention to items that seemed to be of some age.

Most of them are dilapidated and full of traces of history.

Picture scrolls, various decorations, and unknown magic weapons that have no aura left at all.

Li Fan glanced at them one by one.

Suddenly, he stopped on an ancient painting.

His expression became a little solemn, Li Fan took off the scroll and slowly unfolded it.

It was not that there was anything special about the painting itself, but the content of the painting that attracted Li Fan's attention.

The painting depicts a majestic mountain gate.

The sky and the earth are the same color, with dozens of monks standing on the clouds, pointing into the distance.

Among the sea of ​​clouds, the towering buildings on the top of the mountain are looming.

Luan birds, dragons, and all kinds of strange animals shuttle through the mountains.

In the square at the foot of the mountain, there were hundreds of young disciples who were still young and naive.

They looked up at the monks in the sky, their faces full of excitement and envy.

What a prosperous sect!

but……

Li Fan had seen this sect before, and it was very different from the prosperous scene in the painting.

Bodies were everywhere and rivers of blood flowed.

The mountain gate is broken and the ground is covered with ruins.

It was exactly the scene he saw at the bottom of the abyss when the thick fog in the abyss dissipated when he was in Daxuan.

The four words "The Immortal Way Dies" carved on the cliff deeply shocked Li Fan at the time.

Now Li Fan already knows that this must be the scene of the tragedy after the disciples of the sect killed each other after the catastrophe of Fa Bu Tongxiu came.

"Which sect is this? Why did I see it here in the first place?"

You know, the scenery everyone sees from the bottom of the Xuyuan is different.

Li Fan could see this dilapidated sect perhaps just because of some coincidence.

But Li Fan also believes that there may be some kind of guidance.

After carefully putting away the scroll, he walked around and found nothing of value.

Li Fan came to Jiao Xiuyuan's side.

"Fellow Daoist Jiao? Fellow Daoist Jiao!"

Li Fan yelled a few symbolic words, and when he saw that he still didn't respond, he stretched out his hand and groped him.

It's not that he has any special hobbies, but just to take advantage of this rare opportunity to study Jiao Xiuyuan's thousands of puppet ways.

Although "Qixuan True Spirit Transformation" is already a shocking magical skill, it still has some small shortcomings.

Born out of "The Art of Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun", it can only have one clone at the same time, which is really a pity.

If we can synthesize thousands of puppet ways, we can go one step further...

"Thousands of incarnations, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false."

While Li Fan was daydreaming in his mind, the movements of his hands were also unambiguous.

"It's almost exactly the same as a real person. Even if you use your spiritual consciousness to penetrate the induction, it's difficult to find the difference."

"The control core seems to be in the brain, a blue color similar to the light of the fossil stone."

"I have seen the scene after the death of a puppet, with a yellow color like rotten wood. Are these puppet incarnations of Jiao Xiuyuan made of some kind of wood?"

""

…

Li Fan kept looking at the puppet in front of him, combining what he had learned, and carefully comprehending it, feeling that he had gained something hidden.

Just when he was secretly happy, he suddenly noticed that Jiao Xiuyuan's eyelids were trembling slightly.

His heart skipped a beat, and Li Fan immediately moved away.

After a while, he found that Jiao Xiuyuan's dull eyes became lively again.

"Fellow Daoist Jiao, are you awake?" Li Fan asked pretending to be very concerned.

"Huh? Fellow Taoist Li Fan? Why are you here?" Jiao Xiuyuan looked at Li Fan suspiciously.

Li Fan originally wanted to tell the truth about what happened after he was investigated, but unfortunately he had already signed a confidentiality agreement and was unable to speak.

He had no choice but to do the next best thing and tell Jiao Xiuyuan that he came here to take a break because he was avoiding the crowd.

"I noticed that Lu Xichan lost contact with this puppet shortly after he arrived. I knew at that time that something serious was going on, and it was indeed the case."

"Confidentiality agreement..."

Jiao Xiuyuan looked at Li Fan and guessed the reason why he avoided talking.

"No wonder Tianquan and Tianyu Prefectures seem to be a little uneasy..." Jiao Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to think deeply, but he accidentally glanced at his store, and his expression suddenly changed.

He suddenly came to the shelf, checked it again, and said in a voiceless voice: "Why does it seem that there is a missing painting?"

"I worked hard to dig this out from a pile of garbage!"

Li Fan was about to say, paint it here.

But he was surprised to find that the puppet in front of him was blown to pieces with a "bang".

Fortunately, it wasn't flesh and blood flying everywhere, but sawdust everywhere.

"Fellow Daoist Jiao!" Li Fan was also stunned by this turn of events.

"I'm fine!" In an instant, another puppet came out from under the counter.

With a gloomy look on his face, he took out a broom and started cleaning up the scene.

"What happened just now?" Li Fan couldn't help but asked curiously.

"We have made a loss-making business, so it is difficult to sustain it." Jiao Xiuyuan did not explain too much, just shook his head and sighed.

"It's really strange. How could a good painting disappear? Who is so brave to steal it from me?" After cleaning, Jiao Xiuyuan touched his chin and said angrily.

"Um, Fellow Daoist Jiao, I just forgot to tell you. When you were unconscious, I saw that the painting was good, so I put it away." At this moment, he heard Li Fan say.
