To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

In the dense forest, Gu Fan and Lin Qian'er stood facing each other.

Gu Fan made a hand seal and his divine sense moved slightly. Lin Qian'er immediately raised one arm.

With a change in her hand gestures, Lin Qian'er took another step.

And so, Gu Fan manipulated her with his fingers, and Lin Qian'er changed her posture accordingly, like a puppet on strings.

Only after Lin Qian'er finished her strange dance did Gu Fan release his hand seals and take a talisman from behind her.

The moment the talisman was removed, Lin Qian'er's cheeks flushed red. Recalling her dance moves just now, she felt ashamed and indignant. She stood with her hands on her hips and glared angrily at Gu Fan.

"Why are you playing such a trick on me, fellow Daoist!"

Gu Fan coughed lightly and explained, "It was just testing the effect of the puppet talisman, please don't take offense, fellow Daoist."

That was a dance he had seen in his previous life, called "Electronic Swing," and it was something he had just decided to do on a whim.

I have to say, beautiful people look good no matter what they dance.

Lin Qian'er remained silent, staring intently at him.

Gu Fan quickly changed the subject: "This puppet talisman is indeed very useful; I'm confident I can harvest the Drunken Dream technique now!"

Lin Qian'er nodded silently.

The second-tier spirit talisman—the puppet talisman—was the solution devised by Gu Fan.

This talisman is rather unorthodox. If Gu Fan hadn't received guidance from Fang Linghe, he wouldn't have known how to draw it. He just drew it on the spot.

At this moment, Gu Fan was very glad that he had kept two animal skin talismans as backup.

Although the puppet talisman is an unorthodox method, it is quite difficult to make. Gu Fan failed once in two attempts to draw it, but fortunately, he learned from his experience and successfully drew it the second time.

As the name suggests, the Puppet Talisman's function is to turn others into puppets.

Unlike the Mind-Stabilizing Talisman, the Puppet Talisman requires the person being controlled to open their mind and willingly accept it for it to take effect. Otherwise, it will not work, which is one of the reasons why this talisman is rarely used.

The puppet's ability to cast spells is unaffected, but its every move is controlled by the person who cast the talisman, which is what Gu Fan values.

After creating some distance, he was confident that he could temporarily resist the flower demon's control effects by relying on the fourth level of the "Star Evolution Divine Observation Technique". At that time, he only needed to control Lin Qian'er to pick the flowers.

After the plan was decided, Gu Fan reattached the puppet talisman to Lin Qian'er's back and returned along the same route.

When he smelled the aroma of wine again, Gu Fan patted a water shield talisman on his body, using the light membrane of the water shield to isolate the aroma of wine before continuing forward.

Sensing someone approaching, the pink buds bloomed, and the flower fairy revealed her form.

Gu Fan had already placed a purification talisman on his chest, and a cool sensation emanated from it. The star map in his sea of ​​consciousness flickered, as if it had been cast into a high wall.

When it approached within ten feet of the Drunken Dream, the flower demon's eyes turned bloodshot and it hissed softly, its rich Daoist aura suddenly spreading out.

Gu Fan pointed forward with his fingers, and a dark shadow instantly spread out beneath Lin Qian'er's feet. The next moment, her figure disappeared from the spot.

As Gu Fan began to control Lin Qian'er, his divine sense began to be impacted by the Daoist principles.

He even defied the onslaught of divine sense and took two steps forward, drawing the flower demon away from the flower crown, connecting them only with a single vine.

The cooling sensation of the Purification Talisman vanished abruptly under the intense impact of his consciousness, and the pressure on his sea of ​​consciousness increased sharply.

At the critical moment, Gu Fan gritted his teeth and activated the "Star Evolution Divine Observation Technique." The four star charts slowly began to rotate, and intense pain spread, colliding with the Daoist rhythm.

Gu Fan felt as if a monstrous wave had surged in his sea of ​​consciousness, making him dizzy and disoriented, but he managed to resist the erosion of the Daoist aura.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Fan gritted his teeth and manipulated Lin Qian'er to suddenly emerge from the shadows, slashing his short dagger at the vines between the strange figure and the flower crown.

With a soft "pfft".

The sharp dagger severed the vine in one stroke, and a fluorescent blue sap leaked from the cut.

The flower demon let out a sharp shriek, its eight tentacles flapping unconsciously, but without the support of its crown, it fell to the ground with a thud, convulsing continuously.

Amidst the hissing, Gu Fan's sea of ​​consciousness seemed to explode. As soon as the flower demon fell to the ground and its roar ceased, he quickly released the puppet talisman from his control.

Lin Qian'er's eyes regained their clarity, and she immediately rushed forward, severing the flower demon's tentacles with a few slashes. Then, she cut open its abdomen and pulled out a bluish-purple heart.

The flower fairy's heart was still beating. Lin Qian'er took out a jade bottle and poured all her heart's blood into it.

Gu Fan stopped using the "Star Evolution Divine Observation Technique," and the intense pain dissipated, followed by a tingling, pleasurable sensation that made him collapse to the ground.

Lin Qian'er, thinking his consciousness was damaged, asked with concern, "Fellow Daoist, are you alright?"

Gu Fan waved his hand weakly and stood up.

Lin Qian'er quickly sealed the flower demon's heart into a jade box, then handed the jade bottle containing the heart's blood to Gu Fan, suggesting, "The flower demon's heart must be taken while it's hot; the longer it's delayed, the weaker its effect will be. Let's find a hiding place."

Gu Fan needed some time to calm down, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

The two did not go far, but returned to their previous hiding place, where Gu Fan set up a concealment array to hide them.

Lin Qian'er's face beamed with excitement as she softly said, "Refining the flower demon's heart will take about half a day. Would you be willing to wait for me here, fellow Daoist?"

Lin Qian'er's face beamed with excitement as she softly said, "Refining the flower demon's heart will take about half a day. Would you be willing to wait for me here, fellow Daoist?"

After pondering for a moment, Gu Fan declined, saying, "In that case, why don't you refine it here, fellow Daoist? I'll come find you in half a day, shall I?"

He still wanted to seize the opportunity in the Palace of Ten Thousand Laws as soon as possible, lest things get complicated.

Lin Qian'er's smile froze. She assumed that Gu Fan wanted to look for some spiritual herbs and opportunities in the surrounding area, so she nodded and replied, "Alright, I'll wait for you here."

Gu Fan nodded slightly, swallowed a Qi-replenishing pill, and left after his magical power was restored.

Lin Qian'er watched Gu Fan's departing figure, her eyes flashing. She opened the jade box, held the slightly trembling flower fairy's heart, tilted her head back, and swallowed it in one gulp.

......

Wanfa Palace.

Gu Fan cautiously returned, scouting for any potential enemies along the way.

Only after confirming that there were no new people in front of the palace did they breathe a sigh of relief and go straight up to the third floor.

The flower fairy's heart's blood was contained in a bottle, enough for him to drink five mouthfuls, which was enough to replenish his magic power three times.

Arriving at the stone platform carved with Yinglong, Gu Fan pressed down with his palm, and a surge of powerful magic power erupted. The thirty-six stone platforms lit up with spiritual light one after another, and the crane and cloud patterns on the Tongtian Pillar immediately began to rotate.

One breath... two breaths... three breaths, Gu Fan hurriedly drank a mouthful of the flower demon's blood.

Like drinking from a sweet spring, his almost depleted magical power was restored in the blink of an eye.

Four breaths... five breaths... the time scale seemed to be stretched infinitely, and the short time felt as long as a year. Gu Fan drank the flower demon's blood again.

After nine breaths, the formation suddenly stopped.

The pillar shone brightly, and surrounded by cloud patterns and cranes, a glowing void appeared, in which an ancient black jade slip floated silently.

Gu Fan quickly reached out and beckoned, and the jade slip floated out of the hole and landed in his palm.

The next instant, the supply of magical power was cut off, and the array's brilliance vanished in a flash.

Gu Fan was overjoyed and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

But after only a few laughs, through the broken window frame, three streaks of light flew towards them at high speed.

The laughter abruptly stopped. Gu Fan quickly swallowed a mouthful of demon blood, leaped down from the third floor of the Myriad Laws Palace, and turned to flee without hesitation.
