To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

Gu Fan sat cross-legged on a futon, with Yang Mengyun in front of him, her forehead covered in fine sweat.

Did you understand what I just said?

Gu Fan asked softly.

"Did...you understand?" Yang Mengyun stammered.

Unfortunately, although she has good comprehension, her foundation is not solid.

By analogy with modern education, Yang Mengyun is a student who is severely unbalanced in her studies and lacks a systematic approach.

Therefore, when Gu Fan was instructing her on the way of array formations, the first step was to lay a solid foundation for her, and he even had to start by explaining the relationship between runes.

Looking at Yang Mengyun's blurry eyes, Gu Fan felt somewhat helpless.

He casually tossed out a jade slip and said, "I'll give you seven days to think about the questions in this jade slip. If you pass the test in seven days, then we'll discuss the rest."

Yang Mengyun took the jade slip and saw dozens of questions listed inside, which immediately made her heart tighten.

"Yes, I understand."

Yang Mengyun forced herself to thank him and then left the stone chamber.

The sun was unusually strong today, making her feel a little dizzy.

Instead of returning to her own residence, she went to find Yang Yi.

Yang Yi was sipping his spiritual tea alone when he saw Yang Mengyun appear. He teased, "Oh, our Yang family's array master is back!"

Yang Mengyun rolled her eyes and sighed, "Fourth Uncle, please stop teasing me."

"Oh? What problem have you encountered?" Yang Yi leaned forward and asked curiously.

Yang Mengyun nodded, and said in a groan-like voice, "I used to think I was pretty smart."

Yang Yi: "And now?"

"Now..." Yang Mengyun's expression suddenly turned serious: "I suspect that I am actually an idiot."

"Huh?" Yang Yi's expression was strange.

"In short, don't let anyone bother me for the next seven days."

As she spoke, Yang Mengyun turned and walked out.

Seven days seemed like plenty of time, but she had no confidence in answering the questions in the jade slip, so every second counted.

......

On the other side, after Yang Mengyun left, Gu Fan also devoted himself to cultivation.

Condensing the Primordial Qi has become a daily routine. Even the disciples of the Yang family in charge of mining know that Gu Fan would go down into the abandoned mine shaft regardless of wind or rain.

Production cuts at the Huanglongshan mine continue, prompting some speculation among the public.

However, Yang Yi had already given instructions that no one was allowed to disturb Gu Fan, let alone Gu Fan displaying his late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation and defeating Lin Guanyun. Therefore, his process of condensing his essence proceeded very smoothly.

The gourd is still asleep in the spirit beast pouch, and it is unknown when it will wake up.

After the battle in the desolate mountains, the three-headed, six-armed Dharma form was destroyed and needs to be visualized and condensed again.

However, when Gu Fan resumed his cultivation, he did not directly visualize it as a three-headed, six-armed form. Instead, it was no different from his own appearance, with only one head and two arms.

"The three heads and six arms look imposing, but the power is somewhat dispersed."

The practice of Dharma should proceed gradually, progressing step by step after the practice is completed.

With this in mind, Gu Fan began to reshape the Dharma image.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, a red lotus closed, and on the lotus platform, an illusory figure sat cross-legged with eyes closed, a long sword lying across his knees.

After half a day of contemplation, the Dharma image began to take shape.

Gu Fan slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

Then, the Azure Cloud Covering Umbrella appeared in his palm.

The once smooth umbrella surface was now covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and the radiance was unusually dim.

The Azure Cloud Covering Umbrella took the fatal blow from the Black Serpent for him, and the damage was quite severe. To recover, it needed to be reforged with new materials, but he did not have any suitable materials at hand.

"Looks like I need to think of a way, otherwise I'll be in trouble without a suitable defensive item."

Being in a foreign land, surrounded by heretical cultivators, Gu Fan was extremely concerned about his sense of security.

After putting away the magical artifact, Gu Fan frowned slightly, pondering the matter of the Yang family.

Without a doubt, the Yang family is facing great trouble. If it weren't for his existence, the Lin family, with just two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, would have been enough to destroy the Yang family.

What puzzled him was... Lin Guanyun's arrival.

On that day, Lin Guanyun seemed to have expected Gu Fan's appearance and even tried to recruit him.

In other words, the Lin family may be aware of Gu Fan's movements.

As for the source of the information... Gu Fan's mind flashed with the faces of the Yang family members, but he couldn't guess who had leaked the information.

But he quickly put those thoughts aside.

No matter how the Lin family finds out, it poses no threat to him; he can simply deal with whatever comes his way.

Time flies, and another year has passed.

After a year of tutoring, Yang Mengyun finally laid a solid foundation and no longer looked completely bewildered when listening to Gu Fan's instruction.

After Gu Fan finished his lesson, he left "homework" again and then gestured for Yang Mengyun to leave.

Unexpectedly, Yang Mengyun did not get up, but cupped her hands and said, "Senior, yesterday the clan sent a message that they would like to ask you for a favor."

Gu Fan's eyebrows twitched, and he asked, "What is it?"

If the Yang family wants him to deal with the Lin family, then they are pushing their luck.

It wasn't that Gu Fan didn't dare to provoke the Lin family, but rather that the Lin family had powerful families behind them.

He could ignore Foundation Establishment families, but Golden Core families posed a certain threat.

Without him, the Huanglong Stone Mine would have been seized by the Lin family long ago. Even the array techniques he taught Yang Mengyun were meant to compensate for the reduced production of the mine, and he believed he had already provided enough compensation.

Seeing Gu Fan's serious expression, Yang Mengyun quickly added, "Senior, rest assured, the clan does not wish to make things difficult for you."

"However... with the tribute period approaching this year, the Lin family will probably resort to their old tricks again, so I would like to ask you and my third uncle to go and deliver the tribute together."

"What will happen to Huanglong Mountain if I leave?" Gu Fan asked.

Yang Mengyun explained, "After the senior leaves, the clan leader will personally come to guard the city. My father is in charge of the formation in Stone Forest City, so there is no need to worry about the Lin family taking advantage of the situation."

Gu Fan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, I agree to this."

Yang Mengyun immediately felt relieved, smiled, and bowed to express her gratitude, saying, "Thank you, senior."

Three days later, in Shilin City.

After a year apart, Yang Ju had a strand of white hair and his face was pale, as if his injuries had not yet healed.

Of the four sons of the Yang family, the eldest son, Yang Zhang, had the deepest cultivation and was the most likely to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, so he focused on cultivation and ignored worldly affairs; the second son, Yang Ke, who was Yang Mengyun's father, was responsible for guarding Shilin City; and the fourth son, Yang Yi, was responsible for guarding Huanglong Mountain; all the external affairs fell to Yang Ju.

Considering the current situation of the Yang family, Gu Fan naturally understood the source of Yang Ju's injuries.

'No wonder he needs my help to escort him. In his current state, let alone Lin Guanyun, even Lin Lie would have a hard time getting away from him,' Gu Fan thought.

"Greetings, senior."

Yang Ju bowed respectfully, and as if aggravating his wound, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"No need for formalities." Gu Fan reached out and helped Yang Ju up.

Just then, Yang Mengyun arrived with several Yang family disciples, and Gu Fan realized that Yang Mengyun would also be going along.

"I'll be relying on you for the rest of the trip, senior." Yang Mengyun winked playfully.

......

Both the Yang and Lin families belong to the Gu family, a family specializing in Golden Core cultivation.

Along the way, Gu Fan also learned about the Gu family.

As a family specializing in Golden Core cultivation, the Gu family boasts three Golden Core cultivators, placing them among the top families in the Chu Kingdom.

In particular, the previous patriarch of the Gu family was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator who had not made a public appearance for many years and was rumored to be preparing to break through his core and become a Nascent Soul.

Once he advances to the Nascent Soul stage, the Gu family can leap forward and become the fourth immortal clan in the Chu Kingdom.

As the dominant power over a vast area, the Gu family built a magnificent city called Immortal City.

Immortal City is home to nearly a million mortals and also has a cultivation market where families from all over Chu can trade. Even cultivators from Chen and Qin come here.

As Gu Fan listened to Yang Mengyun's introduction, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation for Immortal City.

If the city is truly as prosperous as Yang Mengyun described, perhaps we can find the spiritual materials needed to repair the Azure Cloud Covering Umbrella.

Just as Gu Fan was pondering, a dark mass of figures suddenly emerged from the forest ahead.

The leader was Lin Guanyun.

To Gu Fan's surprise, there were two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators standing behind Lin Guanyun: a gaunt old man with white eyebrows and a middle-aged scholar in a Confucian robe.

"The two honored guests, that's him!"

Lin Guanyun pointed at Gu Fan and said through gritted teeth.
