To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

We wholeheartedly recommend this book to you: "Understanding All Laws and Attaining Immortality," available here.

The Lingxiao Sect's higher-ups acted swiftly, compiling a list of the value of the cultivation techniques and spiritual herbs the very next day and distributing it to all the disciples.

Gu Fan handed over a total of eight spiritual herbs, some of which he collected himself, and others which he seized from his enemies.

Due to differences in year and rarity, the merit points earned from the exchange also vary, but the total amount reaches as much as 20,000.

"Fleeting Glimpses" was rated as a superior escape technique, with a merit of 15,000.

Surprisingly, the "Spirit Forging Technique" was considered to be of little use and was only awarded 5,000 merit points.

As Gu Fan received his merit, Chang Yuan, hiding in the snake-shaped mark on his left arm, couldn't help but sneer: "A bunch of ignorant low-level cultivators."

Gu Fan had no objection to this.

The effects of the Spirit Forging Technique are certainly powerful, but modifying spirit beasts is undoubtedly an even deeper pit than alchemy.

Alchemy at least has finished pill formulas; following the formulas, one can always refine the pills needed. But if one's cultivation of the Spirit Forging Technique is not up to par, no one knows what kind of thing will be cultivated.

The total of 40,000 merits undoubtedly solved Gu Fan's urgent problem.

He immediately exchanged a lot of spiritual materials from the inner sect's treasury, and spent his 10,000 merits in the blink of an eye.

The disciple in charge of the redemption was filled with envy at this straightforward and efficient way of spending, but considering that as many as 30% of the disciples who participated in the Luofu Secret Realm trip had been lost, he could only sigh with regret.

......

After leaving the Hall of Duty, Gu Fan did not return to Phoenix Perch Island, but instead flew towards Wendao Peak.

Having returned safely, I naturally wanted to let my superiors know I was safe.

When Gu Fan landed in front of Chenxing Pavilion, he did not see Zhou Furui. Only after stepping inside did he find that Zhou Furui was arranging bookshelves.

Another black stone bookshelf appeared, with a silver-white barrier flowing quietly, guarding a jade slip. Underneath the jade slip was a name that Gu Fan was very familiar with—"Taiyin Lianxing".

"Junior Brother, you've come at the perfect time." Zhou Furui sensed Gu Fan's appearance, turned around and smiled, "The cultivation technique on this jade slip can improve spiritual root aptitude. The sect leader has ordered it to be placed on the first floor of the Chenxing Pavilion for disciples to exchange."

Gu Fan immediately realized that Wen Dao Peak's duty was to protect the Lingxiao Sect's cultivation techniques.

In other words, all the cultivation techniques and secret arts submitted by the disciples will eventually be stored in the Chenxing Pavilion.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the second floor, he immediately saw the jade slip containing the "Spirit Forging Technique" that he had submitted.

Besides, most of the jade slips submitted by others were also placed on the second layer.

Under Fang Linghe's guidance, Gu Fan examined the various techniques and secret arts, finding that most of them were of superior quality, demonstrating the profound foundation of the Luofu Immortal Sect.

Among them, there are about three cultivation techniques, but unfortunately they are different from Gu Fan's spiritual root attributes.

Besides the "Spirit Forging Technique," there are four other secret techniques. One of them, which greatly surprised Gu Fan, is called the "Six Ding Six Jia Divine Fire Chapter."

The core of this secret technique is singular—to refine the Samadhi True Fire according to the methods of both civil and military arts, transforming it into the Six Ding Divine Fire and the Six Jia Divine Fire.

The Six Ding Divine Fire is a gentle fire, with a mild nature, making it most suitable for alchemy.

The Six Jia Divine Fire belongs to the Martial Fire category. It is extremely Yang and strong, and is mainly used for refining weapons and warding off evil.

Gu Fan held the jade slip with great delight, chuckling, "Senior brother... look..."

"Understood!" Fang Linghe smiled helplessly, reached out and took the jade slip, and made a copy for Gu Fan.

Gu Fan placed the warm jade slip back into his storage bag and thanked the seller repeatedly.

On the third floor of Chenxing Pavilion, on the white jade altar.

Gu Fan recounted the events of the Luofu Secret Realm to everyone except Chang Yuan, and Xuanji Zhenren listened and nodded.

Master Xuanji stroked his beard with one hand and instructed, "Although you have gained some things, they are all external. You must not slack off in your cultivation. You must come here to listen to the lectures every month."

A warm feeling welled up in Gu Fan's heart, and he bowed deeply in gratitude.

He could sense that Master Xuanji truly regarded him as her disciple.

......

Spring passes and autumn comes, cold comes and summer comes.

The plants and trees on Phoenix Island have gone through a cycle.

After his trip to Wendao Peak, Gu Fan only left the peak once a month to listen to the teachings, otherwise he lived a secluded life.

Inside the Qing Shi Palace, dozens of array patterns were drawn on the floor of the Enlightenment Chamber. Gu Fan took out an adorable white rabbit spirit beast from his spirit beast bag and placed it in the center of the array. Then he took out a jade bottle, and a strong smell of blood wafted out after he opened the bottle.

The gray rat perched on Gu Fan's shoulder, its two small eyes darting around as it watched this strange scene.

With a thought, Gu Fan caused the formation to erupt with intense light, instantly freezing the white rabbit spirit beast in place, rendering it unable to move.

A blood droplet the size of a fist flew out of the jade bottle and landed in the magic array.

Afterwards, Gu Fan threw several spiritual herbs into the magic array. Although they were not particularly rare, they were all over a hundred years old, enough to refine a batch of second-tier pills.

If any alchemist saw Gu Fan wasting spiritual herbs like this, they would surely be heartbroken.

Whether it was blood beads or spiritual medicine, they all scattered into specks of colorful fluorescence after coming into contact with the array's radiance.

Gu Fan pointed his fingers at the spirit beasts in the formation and whispered, "Gather!"

In an instant, all the colorful lights rushed toward the white rabbit spirit beast, penetrating its skin without hindrance and traveling along its meridians.

The white rabbit spirit beast roared in pain, its shrill cry echoing through the quiet room.

A moment later, the white rabbit spirit beast suddenly swelled by three-tenths of its size, its fur turned turquoise, and its eyes changed from red to gold.

Gu Fan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene.

But before he could even rejoice, the white rabbit spirit beast exploded with a loud bang, and the array's radiance was instantly extinguished.

Gu Fan quickly summoned a burst of blazing divine energy to block the splattering blood. After the explosion, the white rabbit spirit beast was left with only a pool of blood and a few tattered pieces of animal hide.

The gray squirrel squeaked as if startled.

Gu Fan reached out and patted its head, reassuring it, "Don't worry, it's not your turn yet."

The gray mouse immediately squeaked even louder and turned to run away.

Gu Fan grabbed it back and stuffed it into his arms, then threw out a cleaning talisman to clean up the debris and blood scattered all over the ground.

He slowly walked to the prayer mat and sat down, stroking the slightly trembling gray mouse, and asked, "My analysis was clearly correct, so why did it still fail?"

Chang Yuan's mocking laughter rang out.

"If the 'Spirit Forging Technique' were so easy to cultivate, why would there be so few who are proficient in it? Your manipulation of the demon beast's bloodline and the power of spiritual herbs is so violent; that rabbit is only a first-tier spirit beast, it would be strange if it didn't burst!"

Gu Fan ignored Chang Yuan's sarcasm and nodded thoughtfully.

"I see, I understand now."

Just then, a round jade disc fell into the window frame.

Gu Fan then noticed that the moon had already climbed to the treetops.

Putting down the gray mouse, which had stopped trembling, Gu Fan got up and walked out of the Blue Stone Palace. He sat down cross-legged on an open space outside the palace, gazing at the bright moon and slowly practicing the Taiyin Refining Technique.

A moment later, wisps of lunar essence seemed to be drawn down, dispersing into the meridians with each breath, bringing a cool and comfortable feeling to the heart, as if drinking a sip of chilled spiritual wine on a sweltering summer day.

With one's inner vision, one can see that the area infused with the moon's radiance has been dyed silvery-white, resembling white flowers blooming.

After a year of uninterrupted arduous practice, the silvery-white veins in his meridians have merged into a single expanse, resembling a sea of ​​flowers.

Suddenly, my meridians trembled.

An indescribable Daoist aura rose from the dantian and flowed throughout the body in an instant, while a sound like a heartbeat resonated in the ears.

The next instant, he felt that the world he was probing with his divine sense had changed, and the scattered spiritual energy easily gathered together at his summons.

"Is this... what it feels like to have a superior spiritual root?"
