Chapter 808: Yinyin Island Reveals Its Divine Power

"But he can't be compared with me."

The clone, Ji Shaoli, his eyes glinting, quickly made several purchases based on his experiences from previous lives, spending 500,000 contribution points instantly. He converted all his points into resources predicted to rapidly appreciate in the near future.

"Hmm, it seems the fall of Jiushan State has had some impact after all," he mused. "The price trends of some commodities have already changed. Some have surged earlier, while others have depreciated in ways not seen before."

The clone operated on the Tianxuan Minor Mirror, which was, however, isolated by a faint light, preventing it from perceiving anything external. He then spent another million contribution points to extensively purchase common items. After storing them, Li Fan quietly left Haixuan Island.

While the clone remained stationed, he contacted He Zhenghao. Indeed, Ji Shaoli was acquainted with He Zhenghao; after all, Fellow Daoist He had a wide circle of friends, and with everyone residing in Congyun Sea, it was not uncommon for them to know each other. However, they had only met a few times, and their acquaintance was not deep.

"Fellow Daoist He, how have you been lately? Would you be willing to gather on Haixuan Island?"

It wasn't just He Zhenghao; the clone sent out banquet invitations to all cultivators in his memory with whom he had some acquaintance.

"While pushing the Myriad Immortal Alliance and the Five Elders Association into conflict, my research into 'Foundation Establishment Through Self' must not be neglected," Li Fan thought. "After all, this is what can truly shake the foundation of the Law Transmission."

After leaving Haixuan Island, Li Fan's eyes flickered. He took a detour, heading directly for Yinyin Island. Upon arrival, he did not act rashly. Instead, he first observed carefully. Faint cries of mortals could vaguely be heard emanating from the island, evidently indicating that Senior Yin was still researching the mysteries of the Immortal-Mortal Miasma. The small dog with eyes flowing on its belly was running wildly across the island, holding a white rib bone in its mouth, seemingly very happy.

"Senior Yin only succeeded in 'Foundation Establishment Through Self' after anchoring for three years," Li Fan mused. "That was not long ago."

He pondered, not daring to be overconfident, and transmitted his voice: "Is Fellow Daoist Yin here?"

In the previous life, the scene of him battling Senior Yin was still vivid. Even with his Nascent Soul cultivation and countless divine abilities and secret techniques, he was helpless against Senior Yin, having to eventually use the 'Chaos Character Technique' to defeat him. In this life, to avoid disturbing the Law Transmission, Li Fan would not easily use the 'Chaos Character Technique'. Moreover, he was counting on the other party to continue deducing the 'Foundation Establishment Through Self' method for him. Persuasion through words would be best.

"Yes. Fellow Daoist, please come in!"

The stone gate on the island boomed open, and Li Fan flew down. The humanoid puppy suddenly turned its head, staring at Li Fan. It let out a threatening growl, its eyes full of wariness. As it barked, the white rib bone clattered to the ground. Li Fan's gaze shifted, and he drew it into his hand. This rib bone belonged to the first cultivator named Su who was infected by the Immortal-Mortal Miasma. In the 115th life, Li Fan had thrown it out, attracting the attention of a giant monster made of countless corpses in the white mist, thus escaping danger.

Seeing its beloved item snatched, the humanoid puppy's eyes turned fierce. However, after Li Fan briefly glanced at it, it seemed greatly startled, instantly cowering. Its tail drooping, it scurried into the island's buildings. Li Fan chuckled softly and followed it inside.

Not unfamiliar with the place, Li Fan quickly found Senior Yin. Just as when he had seen him in previous lives, Senior Yin was somewhat entranced, staring at mortals being tormented by experiments in a transparent cage. He was muttering something unintelligible.

Li Fan tossed the white rib bone in his hand over, and Senior Yin instinctively caught it. "This is..." He was first stunned, then gripped it tightly.

"Just now at the entrance, I found this little creature chewing on this item. I had a faint feeling that this bone was extraordinary, so I presumed the little fellow was mischievous and stole it to play with," Li Fan explained with a smile.

Senior Yin instantly understood and fiercely kicked the humanoid puppy. He then put away the white rib bone. His expression softened considerably as he looked at Li Fan and asked, "May I ask, Fellow Daoist, what brings you here?"

Li Fan looked around. "This is not the place to talk..."

Senior Yin was momentarily speechless. However, he didn't dwell on it and led Li Fan to an underground secret chamber. As they walked through Senior Yin's collection corridor, he introduced his items to Li Fan. What surprised him was that Li Fan also seemed quite knowledgeable about these things; from time to time, he could add a few insightful remarks. This greatly pleased Senior Yin, who had often found no kindred spirits. His attitude towards Li Fan also became increasingly amiable.

He kicked the humanoid puppy again, instructing it to serve two cups of dark, bubbling spiritual energy fungus tea. Without waiting for Senior Yin to speak, Li Fan unhesitatingly picked it up and drank it all, his expression remaining unchanged.

"Excellent tea!" he even said, appearing to savor it.

This made Senior Yin even more surprised. "This secret chamber is quite private. Fellow Daoist, please speak freely," he said slowly, taking a sip himself.

"Fellow Daoist Yin, do you know about 'Foundation Establishment Through Self'?"

The next moment, Li Fan's words left him stunned on the spot.

"Cough, cough..." Choking and coughing a few times, Senior Yin put down his tea cup and looked at Li Fan with a strange expression. "Fellow Daoist, are you here for 'Foundation Establishment Through Self'?"

He had indeed mentioned this matter to some others before, but most thought it was absurd and simply laughed it off. Li Fan was the first to visit so solemnly. Feeling a sense of mutual appreciation, Senior Yin couldn't help but advise, "However, I observe that you have already reached the Golden Core realm. The 'Foundation Establishment Through Self' method is not yet perfected..."

Unexpectedly, Li Fan raised his hand to interrupt him. His next sentence was earth-shattering.

"When I first heard about your 'Foundation Establishment Through Self' method, I was amazed. However, after careful consideration, I found it had significant flaws," Li Fan said calmly. "Therefore, I put in immense effort and painstaking work, and finally completed it. Delighted, I came here specifically to share it with you. I hope Fellow Daoist Yin can point out any shortcomings."

Upon hearing these words, Senior Yin suddenly stood up. He stared at Li Fan, his eyes filled with disbelief. He even laughed: "You completed the 'Foundation Establishment Through Self' method? Fellow Daoist, please don't jest with me..."

However, the smile on his face vanished quickly as Li Fan articulated the incantation, word by word. It was replaced, first by surprise, then by solemnity, and then by shock. Finally, when Li Fan finished expounding the entire 'Foundation Establishment Through Self' method, Senior Yin's body was trembling uncontrollably.

"How is this possible..."

"How can this be..."

His eyes were full of bewilderment, as if he was verifying the feasibility of this 'Foundation Establishment Through Self' method. But no matter how he deduced, he only arrived at one conclusion: impeccable, flawless.

Senior Yin's legs gave way, and he stumbled to the ground, his finger trembling as he pointed at Li Fan. For a long time, he couldn't utter a single word.
