To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

Although he was qualified to refine magical artifacts, Gu Fan did not immediately take action.

One can only possess one natal magic weapon, which must be nourished day and night with magical power and blood essence. Once bound, it is extremely difficult to change. If it is damaged, it will also cause great harm to the cultivator's vital energy, so one must be very careful.

As the most relied-upon means of combat for cultivators, the most important thing about magical treasures is that they are suitable for use.

Gu Fan's fighting skills were unmatched among his peers in the Foundation Establishment stage, but they paled in comparison when facing opponents in the Golden Core stage.

The first thing to consider is the talisman.

The requirements for materials are more stringent for third-tier spirit talismans. Even if Gu Fan's talisman cultivation is sufficient, he will still be limited by the materials.

The ceiling of cultivation in the Qionghua Realm is the Nascent Soul stage, and the Golden Core stage is already considered a strong person. If you want to hunt down a third-tier demon beast, unless you have a great battle like the one between the Lingxiao Sect and the Cloud Mist Sea Demon Clan, it is extremely difficult to find one.

"Now that two great demon kings dominate the desolate mountains, and numerous third-tier demon beasts are also converging on the vicinity, if one wishes to obtain third-tier talisman materials, it seems the only option is to seek them out at the Spirit Transformation Sect."

Gu Fan's eyes showed a thoughtful expression as he thought to himself.

As for magical treasures, Gu Fan not only had readily available spiritual materials, but also a large amount of merit points, which he could exchange for from the sect at any time.

Another reason why Gu Fan did not immediately begin refining the treasure was that he had not yet fully digested the weapon-refining insights he had gained from Meng Guihong.

He had a premonition that once he fully comprehended the true meaning of the Dao, his understanding of the Dao of Weapons would reach a new level, making him not only the best in the Qionghua Realm, but certainly among the top.

What troubled Gu Fan the most was the problem with cultivation techniques and secret arts.

The "Red Sun Demon-Slaying Scripture" only has three levels for the Foundation Establishment stage; the Core Formation secrets and subsequent cultivation methods are all missing.

Gu Fan initially chose this technique to address the issue of insufficient combat power in the "Great Luo Inner Landscape Heavenly Profound Chapter," and this problem resurfaced after he formed his core.

Due to the limited number of acupoints that can be activated, the "Great Luo Inner Landscape Heavenly Profound Chapter" can only reflect second-order formations during the Core Formation stage. Unless it is the Ten Directions Chaotic Void Formation or the Taiyi Golden Light Formation is accumulated enough, it is difficult to cause harm to Golden Core cultivators.

On the contrary, some trapping formations and illusion formations might have surprising effects.

If no new solution can be found, Gu Fan will almost certainly be at a disadvantage when facing opponents at the Golden Core stage.

Thinking of this, Gu Fan frowned and tapped his brow with his fingers.

Several solutions flashed through his mind, but he rejected them all.

After a long pause, Gu Fan's gaze became unfocused, and he muttered to himself in confusion, "How did Master solve this problem?"

Xuanji Zhenren's combat strength is among the top in the Lingxiao Sect and even the Qionghua Realm among the Golden Core Zhenren; otherwise, he would not have been able to seize such an important position as the head of the Xiawendao Peak.

"It's best to consult our master about this matter."

With that, Gu Fan got up and left the meditation room, riding his escape light straight towards Wendao Peak.

It must be said that this is the benefit of having a mentor.

The resources, methods, companions, and location required for cultivating immortality can all be obtained simultaneously if one has a good master.

Outside the Chenxing Pavilion, Zhou Furui was still sitting in his usual spot. Seeing Gu Fan descend from the sky, he teased, "Oh, Master Gu has arrived!"

Since Song Lian took over as the Divine Firmament Commander, he has spent much less time accompanying Zhou Furui.

In addition, with his lifespan nearing its end, Zhou Furui inevitably exudes an air of age, and he can only talk freely and easily with those he knows well.

"Don't tease me, senior brother!" Gu Fan waved his hand and laughed.

The principle of "the accomplished comes first" is for those outside the established lineage. Since the two are from the same school, even if Gu Fan's cultivation is superior, the seniority will not be confused.

After chatting for a few minutes, Gu Fan went straight up to the third floor.

......

The third floor of Chenxing Pavilion, or rather, Lingxu Cave Heaven.

Xuanji Zhenren and Gu Fan sat facing each other.

Since Gu Fan achieved Core Formation, the heavy burden in Xuanji Zhenren's heart was suddenly lifted, the vicissitudes on her face disappeared, and a smile spread across her face. As she listened to Gu Fan slowly recount his recent troubles, she nodded from time to time with a smile on her lips.

After a moment, Gu Fan stopped speaking, bowed respectfully, and said, "Please teach me, Master."

Master Xuanji stroked his beard and said smugly, "This matter is difficult in some ways, but simple in others. Have you ever heard of my methods of combat?"

Gu Fan hesitated and said, "Please enlighten me, Master, this disciple has indeed never heard of such a thing."

Master Xuanji gave a soft hum, and with a light sweep of his whisk, a beam of silver light suddenly shot out and landed on the white jade ground.

Gu Fan focused his gaze and saw that what remained was a sword mark.

"Is Master a sword cultivator?"

Gu Fan turned his head in disbelief, but immediately rejected the idea in his mind.

Xuanji Zhenren's natal magic weapon is the Void Mirror. If he were a sword cultivator, his natal magic weapon should be a sword pellet or a flying sword.

"No, this isn't sword energy."

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the sword mark was somewhat different from pure sword energy. Although it was incredibly sharp, there was no sword intent left behind, and instead, frost formed on the ground. It was immediately realized that this must be some kind of secret technique.

After figuring it out, Gu Fan frowned and asked, "Does Master want me to learn another cultivation technique?"

He had considered this plan as well, but even if he had already formed his core, it would not be easy to improve his cultivation level in a day.

"Of course not!" Master Xuanji glared at Gu Fan and reminded him, "Pay close attention to the process of my spellcasting."

After saying this, Master Xuanji used the same trick again, unleashing another beam of silver light.

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan immediately activated his Myriad Manifestations Eye and began to observe intently.

At this moment, Master Xuanji's methods were laid bare.

"So it's a formation!"

Under the all-seeing eye, Gu Fan clearly saw that when Xuanji Zhenren waved his whisk, array patterns appeared in the void, and the silver light flew out from the array.

Gu Fan even recognized the origin of the formation; it was the Cold Light Formation, a first-order formation.

Immediately, new doubts arose in my mind.

Gu Fan turned to look at the marks on the ground, wondering to himself, "Why is this cold light so much more powerful?"

As a first-order formation, the Cold Light Formation is not very powerful, as it can only gather water vapor in the air and transform it into cold light. However, Master Xuanji's move just now, though seemingly casual, had already exceeded the limit of a first-order formation.

Seeing that Gu Fan had identified the source of the cold light, Master Xuanji finally nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Do you still want to ask why the cold light I released was so powerful?"

Before Gu Fan could respond, Master Xuanji said in a deep voice, "Your mastery of array formations has been passed down from me. However, array formations were created by ancient cultivators who comprehended the power of heaven and earth. Even a first-order array formation still contains profound Daoist principles and should not be underestimated."

"Although the Cold Light Array can only condense water vapor to release cold light, there are ordinary waters in the world, such as river water and cloud water, as well as divine waters such as the Profound Divine Water and the Three Lights Divine Water. How can they be generalized?"

"Although the Cold Light Array is only a first-order array, its true essence lies in the word 'condensation'. The power of the cold light can increase as water vapor is condensed. If it is upgraded to the second order, it becomes the Profound Water Cold Light Array, and it can even be upgraded to the third or fourth order."

After speaking, Xuanji Zhenren's magical power erupted.

The next instant, Gu Fan's eyes widened suddenly. He saw an array unfolding around Xuanji Zhenren, and at the same time, divine water of various colors flew out from Xuanji Zhenren's body.

Chongxuan Divine Water, Xuanming True Water, Jiuyou Mysterious Water, Taiyi Ren Water...

The divine waters mentioned in the Lingxiao Sect's cultivation manuals appeared one by one, and were condensed into a dazzling cold light by the Xuan Shui Han Guang Array. Its power made Gu Fan tremble with fear.

At this moment, Gu Fan suddenly thought of the "Creation Spirit Forging Array".

Despite having only seven array hubs, it can freely manipulate Yin and Yang and the Five Elements to forge the bloodline of all living beings in the world.

A thunderous roar seemed to resound in Gu Fan's mind, and many things that he couldn't understand before suddenly became clear.

Countless runes appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness, forming array patterns before suddenly dispersing, repeating this cycle repeatedly, with new insights constantly flowing out like a spiritual spring.

Gu Fan stood there, stunned, lost in his sudden enlightenment.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Fan suddenly came to his senses, the confusion in his eyes dissipating. He bowed deeply to Master Xuanji and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Master!"

A cough suddenly came from the empty white jade altar, and the weathered Xuanji Zhenren said, "Get up."

Gu Fan looked up and noticed that Xuanji Zhenren's face was somewhat pale.

"Master!" Gu Fan called out with concern.

Master Xuanji reached out to stop Gu Fan from rushing forward, took a couple of breaths, and said, "Birth, aging, sickness, and death are just ordinary things, there's no need to worry about them."

"Now that you have formed your core, I can safely seal myself within the formation. I still have a little lifespan left, so I won't die anytime soon, but I'm destined not to live to see the day you break through your limits."

"Your talent and understanding surpass mine, but you are prone to oversights in the details."

Master Xuanji smiled and looked at Gu Fan gently, saying, "The path to immortality is long and the Dao is boundless. This is the last lesson I can teach you."
