Volume 8: Peak of the Star Domain Chapter 1084 Within a thousand years!
After entering the third realm and possessing his own original power, Li Xuanfeng quickly strengthened the crystal coffin that sealed Shen Luoyan's remaining soul.
But at that time, he was still in the Palm Source Realm, and the effect achieved was extremely small. Li Xuanfeng knew that it was his origin, and it was not at a higher level than the origin power left by the Five Elements Venerable in the Purple Destruction Space.
However, when Li Xuanfeng tried again after breaking through the Source Realm, even though his original power was stronger than the original power left by the Five Elements Venerable in the Purple Destruction Space, it still did not have much effect.
Although Li Xuanfeng tried his best, he could only slow down the speed by another 20%, and it was no longer effective.
More than a hundred years have passed since the Five Elements Venerable sealed Shen Luoyan's remaining soul, so the remaining time is only a thousand years plus a little fraction, which is only about fifty years.
Li Xuanfeng didn't dare to wait until time was completely up. By then, even if he used the method of resurrection, the hope of success would become extremely slim because the remnant soul was already too weak and would soon dissipate.
In other words, Li Xuanfeng only has a thousand years left, at most, and he must then use the method of resurrection.
For Li Xuanfeng today, there is no method of resurrection that he can use.
The Reincarnation Soul Nurturing Technique that Li Xuanfeng obtained from the Lord of Reincarnation requires the Tianyuan Realm to be performed, and one must be in the late Tianyuan Realm to have a greater chance of success!
A thousand years sounds like a long time, but for a cultivator at the Duyuan Realm, it is extremely difficult to greatly improve his cultivation within a thousand years.
Judging from the current speed of cultivation improvement, which is almost non-existent during ordinary retreat, it is hard to say whether one can break through the Tianyuan realm within a thousand years, let alone reach the late stage of the Tianyuan realm.
Even the Lord of a star field who has lived for countless years most likely does not have this level of cultivation. Li Xuanfeng's hope of achieving it within a thousand years is extremely slim.
Therefore, Li Xuanfeng was very clear that while constantly improving his cultivation, he still needed to find other ways to resurrect, otherwise he might not be able to perform the reincarnation soul-nourishing technique.
Because of this, when the Tianchen Secret Realm was opened this time, even though Li Xuanfeng knew that the powerful people from the three top forces would most likely take action because they were afraid of his growth, he still had to enter this secret realm.
In this mysterious secret realm, he might be able to obtain the opportunity to improve his cultivation, or even find other ways to resurrect.
Li Xuanfeng knew very well that there were not many thousand years left, and he must not miss any opportunity to improve his cultivation and find other ways to resurrect.
This is the only secret realm in the star field that can give a third-level master a chance to break through his cultivation, so it naturally cannot be missed.
While Li Xuanfeng was refining the elixir, the Bai tribe ancestor entered a nearby continent and came to a city there.
The Bai ancestor remembered what Li Xuanfeng said. To become a mortal, he must first transform himself into a mortal and integrate into the mundane world.
So the Bai ancestor hid his cultivation and walked into the city.
When the Bai ancestor entered the city and walked forward on the avenue, a team of guards suddenly appeared in front of him. They seemed to be in a hurry and were riding their horses towards him.
Along with the dull sound of horse hooves, a big man among the guards was shouting at the top of his lungs: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The pedestrians on the road immediately hurriedly moved to the sides to make way, and the Bai tribe ancestor was also in front of the pair of guards.
The Bai ancestor was about to step aside, but a middle-aged man next to him thought he would not be able to dodge in time, so he quickly pulled him to the side of the road.
After pulling the Bai clan ancestor away, the middle-aged man asked with concern: "Old man, are you okay ? Be careful when walking outside alone."
Although the Bai clan ancestor's appearance has regained a lot of youthfulness after coming to the Tianchen Star Region and his cultivation level has been improved, he is still quite old, as if he is over 40 years old. It is normal for people to mistakenly think that he is unable to dodge.
Unexpectedly, he was misunderstood as being weak and frail. The Bai clan ancestor felt helpless, but he could only smile and thank him: "Thank you."
The middle-aged man then asked a few more questions, wanting to send the Bai ancestor home. The Bai ancestor had no choice but to say that he had just arrived in the city today and did not have a home.
After hearing the words of the Bai ancestor, the middle-aged man felt extremely sympathetic and immediately invited him to his home, saying that he would entertain him.
The middle-aged man thought that the Bai ancestor was so old and still alone and helpless, and came to this city after wandering around.
The Bai ancestor was also thinking about how to integrate into this city, so he did not refuse. After a few excuses, he followed the middle-aged man directly.
Soon the middle-aged man brought the Bai ancestor to a two-story restaurant and told him that this was his home.
The Bai ancestor immediately praised him highly. He did not expect that the middle-aged man had such an industry. However, the middle-aged man shook his head and smiled bitterly, then took the Bai ancestor into the restaurant.
Although this restaurant looks very grand from the outside, it is quite deserted inside. There are only two or three tables of guests, which makes the waiters in the restaurant quite idle.
It would be fine if it wasn't dinner time, but it was evening now, when most people were eating and drinking.
Seeing this scene, the Bai ancestor immediately knew that this might be the reason why the middle-aged man shook his head and smiled bitterly.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, the waiter at the door shouted to the middle-aged man, "Hello, boss!"
The middle-aged man nodded slightly and said in a gentle voice: "Ask the kitchen to prepare a table of dishes, and we will eat together later. There shouldn't be any guests coming."
The waiter nodded immediately and ran to the kitchen to notify them, while the middle-aged man sat down at a table with the Bai ancestor.
The waiters and cooks worked very quickly and started serving the dishes after a while. Two sticks of incense later, the table was filled with dishes and bowls and chopsticks.
Soon all the waiters and cooks of the restaurant came to this table and sat down, and the middle-aged man warmly invited everyone to start eating.
The middle-aged man was also extremely enthusiastic towards the Bai ancestor. After asking his name, he directly and affectionately called him "Brother Bai" and introduced him to everyone.
When the people in the restaurant learned that the Bai ancestor had come to this city alone at such an old age, they all felt quite sympathetic, and some even took the initiative to invite the Bai ancestor to stay in their homes.
Because the Bai ethnic group ancestor was the only outsider, everyone in the restaurant immediately asked him questions enthusiastically, including why he was alone outside.
The topic was stopped when the Bai ancestor said that he had no children and was alone. If the Bai ancestor had said that he had children, everyone in the restaurant would have been indignant.
After eating and drinking, the restaurant owner remained silent for a long time with a very solemn expression.
When everyone saw his expression, they all showed a lot of loneliness and worry on their faces, as if they had guessed what the shopkeeper was going to say next.
After a long silence, the restaurant owner smiled bitterly and said, "We may not have the chance to dine happily together in the future, because the restaurant business is too bad, and I can no longer afford it. I am going to sell the restaurant. I am very sorry."
"After the sale, I will no longer be your shopkeeper. I will give you all some compensation. You can continue to stay in this restaurant or find another job."
Hearing his words, the waiters and the cook suddenly opened their eyes wide, they knew that the restaurant's business was very bad, and originally thought that the owner was going to reduce the number of employees, but they didn't expect that he wanted to sell the restaurant.
"Boss, how can you sell the restaurant? The restaurant is in trouble now. We can refrain from monthly payments and just get through this difficulty first." Several people spoke almost at the same time, their expressions full of anxiety.
They have been following this restaurant for a long time, and they would be extremely reluctant to leave.
Moreover, the shopkeeper treated them very well, just like family, so they would rather not have the monthly salary for the time being.
They knew very well that if the restaurant was sold, the new owner would definitely not be as nice to them as the current one, and would even try to exploit them in every possible way.
The restaurant owner smiled bitterly and said, "This is not a temporary difficulty. It will be hard to expect things to get better in the future. We can only sell the restaurant."
Just as the waiter and the cook were about to continue persuading them, the Bai ethnic group elder beside them suddenly asked, "Have you found a buyer?"
Hearing their conversation just now, the Bai clan ancestor's eyes flickered slightly, and an idea emerged in his mind.
The restaurant owner was slightly stunned, then replied with a wry smile: "Not yet, I plan to put it up for sale tomorrow, and someone should come to buy it soon."
After hearing this, the Bai clan ancestor nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I bought it!"
Hearing his words, the shopkeeper, the waiter and the cook were all stunned. They didn't expect that this ordinary and lonely old man would say such a arrogant word.
After being stunned, the restaurant owner smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Bai, stop joking."
The waiters and cooks in the restaurant all nodded slightly, thinking that the Bai ancestor was joking to ease their reluctance, and they were not angry at all.
After hearing this, the Bai clan ancestor took out two jade pendants from his arms and said with a smile: "I am not joking."
When the restaurant owner saw the jade pendants taken out by the Bai clan ancestor, his pupils shrank slightly. He had done a lot of research on jade pendants and could tell instantly that these two jade pendants were very good. They were top-grade jades of excellent quality, enough to be sold for a thousand taels of silver.
The restaurant owner looked at the Bai ancestor in astonishment. He did not expect that the old man he brought with him had such amazing financial resources.
However, after being stunned, the restaurant owner still said: "This restaurant is already extremely desolate. Brother Bai, you will only lose money if you buy it."
The Bai clan ancestor, however, said nonchalantly, "Whatever problems the restaurant has, we can solve them one by one. There's no need to be so angry."
The restaurant owner was stunned again after hearing this and said, "So, Brother Bai is planning to let me stay in the restaurant after buying it?"
The Bai clan ancestor smiled and nodded: "That's right, I don't have much experience, it's better for you to take care of it."
