Chapter 1473 Out of sight, out of mind
As dawn broke, a few lingering stars dotted the pale blue sky, and the earth was shrouded in a hazy mist, as if enveloped in a silvery-gray veil.

Su Fan sat cross-legged by the pool beside the grassy path, concentrating on cultivating the "Clear Breeze and Bright Moon Illuminating the Spirit and Cleansing the Heart Precious Talisman," his body surrounded by a faint aura of spiritual energy.

A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes, his throat bobbed slightly, and he exhaled a long breath of white air mixed with turbidity. The fatigue between his brows dissipated considerably.

It must be said that the secret palace inheritance he obtained from the "Guangfa Daozong" was indeed extremely compatible with his physique.

Without this soul cultivation technique as a foundation, the mixed and strange soul fragments he had previously devoured in the evil spirit realm would probably have backfired on him, leaving him mentally deranged.

Moreover, he unfailingly contemplates the clear breeze and bright moon every night, and that serene state of mind subtly washes away the negative emotions accumulated in his heart, allowing him to always maintain a clear mind.

Su Fan looked down and saw a faint wisp of grayish-black energy condensed at his fingertips.

This is the embodiment of the inherent characteristics of evil spirits, which stands out conspicuously in the clear halo of the spiritual spring.

Su Fan held his breath and let the wisp of black energy wander through his fingertips, sometimes turning into delicate ribbons that wrapped around his knuckles, and sometimes condensing into miniature vortexes that devoured the thin spiritual energy around him.

With each change in form, he carefully sensed the compatibility between the primordial power and his own soul, trying to find a smoother way to operate it.

Although the fragments of divine souls that had been devoured in the evil spirit realm had been mostly refined by the "Clear Breeze and Bright Moon Illuminating the Gods and Cleansing the Heart Treasure Scroll",

Even today, some impure thoughts still remain in his sea of ​​consciousness, like grains of sand hidden in the shadows, occasionally interfering with his control over his divine sense.

Therefore, he paid more attention to refining his origin. Every night when he practiced the "Clear Breeze and Bright Moon Illuminating the Gods and Cleansing the Heart Treasure Talisman", he would deliberately separate a wisp of divine thought to filter the impurities in the origin of evil spirits like a sieve.

That afternoon, Su Fan was immersed in contemplation when the black energy at his fingertips suddenly trembled slightly, as if sensing something.

It turned out that the communication array plate at his waist had begun to vibrate slightly.

Su Fan took the communication array plate off his waist and glanced at it, discovering that it was a message sent by his Martial Aunt Hong Ling.

He frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally put the communication array plate into his storage ring.

Out of sight, out of mind; finally, I can have some peace and quiet.

During this period, his senior sister Hongling would "harass" him almost every day with the communication array. Sometimes she would send dozens of messages a day, rambling on about trivial things, which annoyed him so much that he simply pretended not to see them.

He also noticed that his senior uncle Hongling's condition had been quite unusual lately.

That overly enthusiastic attitude was something he simply couldn't handle. Although doing so was indeed a bit "scummy".

But he knew in his heart that in order to avoid awkwardness when they met in the future, it was best to minimize contact for now.

Hongling is a Daoist master with a lifespan of over ten thousand years. Su Fan believes that with her experience, she will eventually be able to figure out the situation.

Of course, Su Fan hasn't been idle these past few months either.

Besides searching everywhere for unclaimed spiritual veins, he also deliberately caused trouble several times in the "Mountain and Sea Realm" beast-controlled area.

To put it bluntly, he used the territory of the strange beasts to activate the evil spirit's original nature domain several times.

The core purpose is actually to "practice" and to continuously explore the potential of the evil spirit's origin in actual combat, and to become familiar with its various bizarre effects.

But those ninth-tier beast kings in the "Mountain and Sea Realm" had no idea of ​​Su Fan's true intentions.

They assumed that a ruthless and evil old demon had emerged from "Xin Guangtian" and was specifically looking for trouble with the strange beasts.

As a result, the beast faction in the "Mountain and Sea Realm" has been on edge and on high alert recently.

There was no way around it; Su Fan's evil spirit origin was simply too wicked and bizarre. In just a few months, countless strange beasts from the "Mountain and Sea Realm" had died at his hands, and the manner of death of each beast was extremely bizarre.

Although the strange beasts of the "Mountain and Sea Realm" are known for their ferocity and savagery, and are fearless in battle, they cannot withstand such indiscriminate and bizarre attacks.

The most frightening thing about evil spirits and monsters is that they are unknown.

The unknown fear that can send chills down your spine, the helplessness of clearly feeling the danger approaching step by step but never being able to catch the enemy's trace, and the suffocating feeling of being enveloped by an eerie atmosphere are enough to destroy any strong mind.

What's even more despairing is that the beasts can only watch helplessly as their own kind suddenly become frenzied and chaotic, attacking each other madly, without any way to stop them.

Just imagining being in such an eerie, invaded atmosphere is terrifying, let alone experiencing the strange beasts firsthand.

So these past few months, the beasts in the "Mountain and Sea Realm" have been tormented terribly. They live in fear during the day and cannot sleep at night, afraid that they will be the next to suffer.

Those ninth-tier beast kings had also joined forces several times to set up a trap to capture Su Fan, the "mastermind," but each time they came up empty-handed.

They didn't even catch a glimpse of Su Fan, let alone capture him.

Moreover, Su Fan doesn't go there to cause trouble every day; whether he launches an attack depends entirely on his mood, making it completely unpredictable and making it even more difficult for the alien beasts to defend against.

As for most of the rest of the time, he stayed in his personal secret realm, focusing on studying the inherent characteristics of the evil spirit within his body.

Su Fan repeatedly studied its operating rules, trying to gain more control over this strange power.

"Kid, come here over here..."

At this moment, Su Fan suddenly received a thought from the old dragon Li Gao.

He frowned, then suddenly entered the Yin Gathering Secret Realm.

Su Fan arrived at the gloomy and terrifying valley. He sat cross-legged on the stone platform and glanced at the oil lamp magic weapon next to him.

At this moment, Lao Long Li Gao, Xie Fo Lao Wang, and others were gathered around the stone table discussing something.

Upon seeing Su Fan arrive, Lao Long Li Gao picked something up from the stone table and tossed it to Su Fan.

This item was a spoil of war he seized from the realm of evil spirits—a soul crystal of an evil spirit lord.

“We examined this soul crystal of the evil spirit lord; it is extremely pure, with almost no impurities…”

Upon hearing what Lao Long Li Gao said, Su Fan immediately became excited.

"Then how should I fuse this soul crystal...?"

"When you are cultivating your spiritual cultivation techniques, simply hold it in your palm. Before long, it will gradually integrate into your sea of ​​consciousness..."

"Can this thing increase the strength of my soul...?"

Old Wang Xiefo, who was standing next to him, chuckled.

"This is a real treasure. I've never seen anything like it before. The soul crystal contains incredibly rich divine soul power, as well as the aura of the origin of evil spirits..."

He finished speaking, sighed, and a hint of regret appeared on his face.

"It's a pity. This soul crystal is similar to that evil spirit's source. Although the divine soul power inside is extremely pure, it is mixed with a large amount of evil spirit energy. We tried everything, but we couldn't extract the evil spirit energy..."

　Old Bu is having a bit of writer's block, so I'll just post a short chapter today and let Old Bu sort out the plot for later.
