Immortal Reincarnation Tribulation

Chapter 314 Teleportation Scroll

Du Fan already knew that the Xuanmu Silkworm had a special fondness for the Empty Mulberry Leaf, so he never dared to put the silkworm and the Empty Mulberry Leaf together. He usually kept the Xuanmu Silkworm in another storage bag in his storage bag as a way to isolate and cover it up.

Seeing the longing look on Xuanmu Silkworm's eyes, Du Fan couldn't help but find it amusing. Since he didn't have anything too urgent to do at the moment, he decided to tease the little guy.

He patted his storage bag with one hand, instantly taking out an empty mulberry leaf, carefully pinching it between two fingers. Then, his gaze shifted to the Xuanmu Silkworm, and he smiled, "Little guy, is this what you're talking about?"

To Du Fan's great surprise, although the Xuanmu Silkworm showed a strong desire for the hollow mulberry leaf in his hand, judging from the thoughts it conveyed, what the silkworm was talking about was not the hollow mulberry leaf at all!

This naturally surprised Du Fan, but it also piqued his interest. He was eager to see what the Xuanmu Silkworm was talking about.

Next, Du Fan continuously took out various items from his Qiankun Ring, ranging from spiritual herbs, pills, and pill oils to demon cores, spirit stones, spiritual materials, as well as talismans, talismanic weapons, magical weapons, jade slips, bamboo slips, and so on...

What made Du Fan frown was that he had already taken out most of his things, but the Xuanmu Silkworm kept giving him the message "no". Du Fan even began to wonder if the silkworm was playing a trick on him.

Suddenly, Du Fan's heart skipped a beat. After a moment's hesitation, he took out the long-unused hair of the Thousand-Eyed Gluttonous Beast and threw it directly on the ground.

"Is this the thing you're talking about?" Du Fan glanced at the Xuanmu Silkworm and asked calmly.

When the Xuanmu Silkworm saw that jet-black hair, its eyes immediately showed terror, and its body trembled uncontrollably. It actually fell directly from mid-air and ran a long distance in one breath, as if it didn't even have the courage to fly in front of this hair.

Upon seeing this, Du Fan's expression hardened, and he immediately began communicating with the Xuanmu Silkworm, but the result was far beyond his expectations.

This single hair of the Taotie was still not what Xuanmu Silkworm had mentioned. However, this hair emitted an aura that was extremely terrifying to Xuanmu Silkworm. Xuanmu Silkworm used its mind to request Du Fan to quickly put away this dark thing.

"It seems that this single hair of the Thousand-Eyed Taotie... holds more secrets than meets the eye! However, we have no leads on this matter, so it's not easy to deal with it right now."

"But I've already taken everything out once. What exactly is Xuanmu Can talking about?" Du Fan frowned, looking completely puzzled.

"Oh right, there's one more thing, but this thing... doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Xuanmu Silkworm." After a while, Du Fan had a sudden thought. He remembered the only thing he hadn't taken out yet.

Du Fan patted his storage bag with one hand, and an object immediately flew out—a talisman wood. At this moment, the surface of the talisman wood was covered with dense, fine cracks, like a spider web, as if it might collapse at any moment.

"Little guy, this is the last thing I have left." Du Fan said helplessly.

Just then, the Xuanmu Silkworm's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and after a flash of green light on its body, it appeared on the talisman wood as if by teleportation. Its pair of antennae kept rubbing the surface of the talisman wood. The silkworm's affectionate attitude towards the talisman wood even surpassed that of Du Fan.

Du Fan was stunned by the sight and remained speechless for a long time before he remembered to ask something.

However, the information fed back by the Xuanmu Silkworm was particularly strange, and even contained another language, which Du Fan could not understand at all. He only knew that the Xuanmu Silkworm was very excited and quite dependent on the talisman wood, just like... a child had found its mother.

"This is ridiculous. There's absolutely no connection between the Fu Wood and the Xuan Wood Silkworm."

After a long while, Du Fan saw that the Xuanmu silkworm was dead but still wouldn't release the talisman wood, yet it showed no intention of attacking or destroying it. Helpless, he could only wave his hand and put both items into another storage bag in his waist storage bag.

Then, with another flick of his wrist, a peculiar talisman emitting a purplish-blue color flashed out and floated in mid-air. It was the Thousand-Mile Transmission Talisman that Xiao Yun had given him.

Du Fan took a deep breath, raised one hand, and quickly cast a spell into the transmission talisman.

A moment later, the talisman shone brightly, and a woman's voice rang out.

"Hehe, it seems Fellow Daoist Du has already made a decision. I'm sure your decision won't disappoint me."

"The mountain where we once met." Du Fan uttered these words in a slightly indifferent tone, and immediately moved his arm, sending out a blue water blade that instantly cleaved the talisman in mid-air in two.

After a burst of intense light, the talisman turned to dust with a muffled thud and vanished into the void.

This kind of teleportation talisman only has the power to transmit sound once. Du Fan was worried that the female assassin had tampered with it, so he destroyed it without hesitation after using it.

Du Fan took a deep breath, and with a flick of his arm, a pale yellow demon core and a dose of pill-refining water instantly appeared. He swallowed them directly, then closed his eyes and began to refine them.

……

A day later, Du Fan, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes and got up to walk out of the cave.

"Brother Du, I hope I didn't interrupt your cultivation?" Under a pine tree outside the cave, Xiao Yun, shrouded in a black robe, stood gracefully. Seeing Du Fan emerge from the cave, she chuckled and spoke first.

"It's alright. As you probably know, I don't have much time, so let's head to your organization's altar immediately," Du Fan said calmly, glancing at the woman.

"Hearing Brother Du say that, did you win the first round of the competition?" Upon hearing this, the woman in black trembled slightly, clearly surprised.

"Just lucky." Du Fan said expressionlessly.

"In that case, I really must congratulate Brother Du. I never expected that you could emerge unscathed and victorious in such a special environment. It seems that Brother Du's strength is far beyond my expectations." After her initial astonishment, Xiao Yun took a deep breath, a strange light flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"According to Fellow Daoist Xiao, the place we are going to is somewhere we can reach soon. Could it be that this place is nearby?" Du Fan frowned, not responding to the other party's words, but instead asking a question in return.

Xiao Yun couldn't help but purse her lips upon seeing this, but she didn't want to say anything more about the topic. She then chuckled and said, "That place is definitely not very close to us, but I'm not lying to Brother Du. We will indeed arrive there very soon."

"Oh? Please enlighten me, Fellow Daoist Xiao." Du Fan raised an eyebrow.

"Brother Du must be a very knowledgeable person. Do you recognize this?" Xiao Yun seemed to smile. As she raised her hand, a yellow and white scroll-like object shot out and floated in front of Du Fan after a flash.

Du Fan's expression shifted, and he suddenly raised his arm and grabbed it. After scanning it with his divine sense, he couldn't help but look bewildered; he really didn't recognize this thing.

Facing Du Fan, Xiao Yun naturally couldn't utter any mocking words. She took a step and slowly walked towards Du Fan, while lightly parting her red lips and saying, "This is a teleportation scroll with spatial markings inside. After tearing it apart, you can directly teleport to the designated location through the teleportation portal."

"A teleportation scroll? There are such things in the cultivation world? If the location marked inside is the Nine Provinces Continent, can it also be used for teleportation?" Du Fan was shocked upon hearing this, clenched his fists, and blurted out.

"The Nine Provinces Continent? That's impossible. If Brother Du is interested in this teleportation scroll, I can help you understand it." Xiao Yun was taken aback at first, then shook her head with a wry smile.

"I'd like to hear the details." Du Fan's expression turned serious, his eyes shining brightly.

"Actually, teleportation scrolls are not a product of the modern cultivation world, but can be traced back to ancient times. It is said that in that era, these scrolls were very common, and almost every cultivator had some, just like cremation talismans are common now."

However, that was all in ancient times. In the cultivation world today, this item is extremely rare, and its production method is on the verge of being lost. Not to mention Qi Refining cultivators like you and me, even a Golden Core expert has rarely heard of teleportation scrolls.

Each teleportation scroll possesses a designated teleportation power and is rendered useless after use. The teleportation strength of this scroll is also limited, ranging from a micro teleportation array to a large teleportation array depending on the materials used in its manufacture and the method of inscribing the runes.

As for teleportation scrolls at the level of super teleportation arrays, even the ancient classics treasured within the Fallen Leaves Return to Roots collection do not record them.

"The teleportation scroll in my hand is only comparable to a medium-sized teleportation array. Even if the location marked on this scroll is the Nine Provinces Continent, Brother Du, do you dare to use it?" Xiao Yun stood two zhang in front of Du Fan and spoke slowly.

"I see. Since you have a teleportation scroll, and the teleportation location is a certain altar in the 'Returning to Roots' sect, does that mean your organization has mastered the method of making teleportation scrolls?" Du Fan was shocked and asked with a flash of his eyes.

"That's only natural. Although the method of making teleportation scrolls is almost lost, fortunately, one of our Nascent Soul seniors from the Return to Roots Clan has inherited this ancient secret technique." Xiao Yun nodded with a light smile.
