Chapter 733: Chapter 698: Sketching the Mountains and Rivers
“With this thing, we can barely make up for some of our losses.” Huang Fusong let out a sigh of relief and held onto one of the Exemption Talismans, while Li Fan and Dong Fangyao each received one.
“Just this piece of junk?” Dong Fangyao scrutinized the seven-colour talisman in front of him, somewhat disbelieving.
“I think I have heard of this thing.” Li Fan squinted as he recalled, “It seems like whenever the Immortal Alliance issues a mandatory task, a cultivator can disregard this task requirement with this Exemption Talisman.”
“Exactly!” Huang Fusong nodded in satisfaction, feeling a sense of relief.
“What’s the use of this?” Dong Fangyao muttered to himself, still somewhat bemused.
Huang Fusong gave him a glance: “It might not have much utility normally, but it can be lifesaving in a crucial moment. For example, if a war breaks out with the Five Elders Organization, and all the cultivators are summoned to the battlefield. Others can only plead for mercy or be honest and go to the front. But we, with this thing, can easily avoid the disaster.”
“From a certain perspective, this is a life-saving charm!” Dong Fangyao suddenly understood the valuable importance of this item and carefully stowed it away.
“That’s right. More importantly, this talisman is not registered. Any cultivator who holds this talisman is its owner. If someone offers a high price, we can trade it.” Huang Fusong added, “To avoid attracting unwanted attention, you two should not carry it with you. Keep it in the Tianxuan Mirror Space.”
Dong Fangyao nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Li Fan began to check the map in the Mirror of Celestial Measurement: “Although we have the Exemption Talisman to make up for it, our Qingxuan Points have returned to zero, making us in vain. What are your plans? Will we go for the White Mist again, or give up here?”
“The curtain has just begun to rise, and we can’t doubt now. With the well-explored map in hand, we can head directly towards the unknown area. Our exploration efficiency would doubtlessly multiply by many times.” Huang Fusong’s choice was obvious, with a greedy gleam in his eyes.
Dong Fangyao naturally agreed with Huang Fusong.
Li Fan clapped his hands and praised, “To become more courageous in the face of adversity is heroic! Thus, let me go and replenish supplies, and we’ll set off right away.”
“However…” Li Fan wore a troubled expression, “I’m afraid it might be difficult to find another cost-effective life-extending item like the Elixir of Immortality.”
Huang Fusong and Dong Fangyao nodded immediately, indicating understanding.
“We can’t always let you bear all the losses, brother. I have to think of a way too.” Dong Fangyao even volunteered to share the burden for Li Fan.
The three decided to meet again in two days then dispersed.

Beast Type World.
Xu Bai was lying flat in the air, his eyes tightly shut, as if he was asleep.
A Celestial Spirit Flower with seventeen petals was quietly suspended above his forehead, emitting a faint milky white radiance.
There seemed to be some mysterious force gestating around Xu Bai, distortive in the air. Layers of seven-coloured light rings emanated from him, expanding outwardly.
From the ground perspective, it seemed as if there was an additional seven-colour sun in the sky.
Faced with this bizarre scene, countless Exotic Beasts bowed down in reverence.
The disciples from Medicine King Sect, however, had different reactions – consensus was quite dispersed.
Of course, with Liu San protecting Xu Bai, they did not dare to be overly disrespectful.
A dozen days ago, Liu San had found Jiao Xiuyuan.
Jiao Xiuyuan was very interested in the trade proposed by Li Fan.
However, he demanded to inspect the Celestial Spirit Flower in Li Fan’s possession to verify if it indeed held the miraculous effects as rumored.
With Li Fan not there and uncontactable, Liu San rushed back with Jiao Xiuyuan’s Communication Talisman and intended to report to Xu Bai directly.
After arriving in the Beast Type World, Liu San found that Xu Bai was in a state of enlightenment.
Not wanting to disturb him, Liu San instead took it upon himself to guard Xu Bai.
“Old Liu, it seems that what the Sect Master is realizing this time is quite powerful.” Fang Zaiji’s voice echoed in Liu San’s ears.
Fang Zaiji himself did not appear; the voice came from a golden eyeball.
This was his recent work inspired by the Dream of Early Autumn Array in the Medicine King Cauldron, which connects everyone’s consciousness. He created a set of 81 “Eyes of Vision”. The holders of this object cannot only communicate with one another but also share their experiences and even the changes in Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Energy as if they were on the scene.
“You can communicate directly in my consciousness, but you insist on speaking beside my ear.” Liu San looked a little displeased.
“What do you know? This is called a sense of ceremony.” Fang Zaiji scoffed and retorted right away.
Liu San turned his head to glance at the golden eyeball.
The golden eyeball immediately flew aside: “Old Liu, we can talk about it nicely. This was not easy to concoct…”
While Liu San was not obliged to indulge him, just as he was about to make a move, he glanced up at the sky.
Surprisingly Xu Bai, in the midst of his dreamlike state, suddenly raised his right hand and with a wave, something amazing happened.
Countless specks of light gathered mid-air, and within moments a spectacular landscape of rushing rivers appeared in the sky.
“Go!”
Xu Bai pointed downwards.
The painting transformed into a beam of light and plummeted towards the Beast Type World.
Then…
“Boom!”
A roaring river descended from the sky and struck the earth.
Xu Bai’s hand did not stop.
Majestic mountains, ancient pines, rift valleys…
Each landscape painting successively appeared; then, like fallen meteorites, they flew towards various places in the Beast Type World.
The ground rocked unendingly.
Many ancient trees broke through the earth, mountains rose straight up, and the plains split apart.
As if a creator of the universe, Xu Bai was floating in the sky, creating things out of thin air, transforming the Beast Type World according to his will.
Liu San and Fang Zaiji watched this spectacle, dumbfounded.
“This…” Fang Zaiji was somewhat unsure.
“It’s not a change achieved through compatibility with the Heavenly Dao of this Small World, but a distortion created by some sort of magical external force.” Liu San understood clearly.
“This certainly involves the home-field advantage that the Master’s Avatar has here, but it just enhances the power that the Master can summon.”
“It doesn’t affect the fundamental nature of this Divine Technique.”
A gleam flashed in Fang Zaiji’s eyes: “That is to say, if it is in an external world, say in the Xuanhuang World, as long as one’s strength is strong enough, one can even modify the landscapes as easily as painting?”
Liu San solemnly nodded.
“Order the disciples of the sect to seal their mouths. This matter needs to be kept strictly confidential.” Liu San said solemnly.
With their knowledge, even in the Ancient Xian Realm, this would be an incredibly formidable Divine Technique.
