To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

The latest chapter of "《" has been updated, come and catch up!

On Huanglong Mountain, Gu Fan stood suspended in mid-air.

Under the all-seeing eye, the desolate wilderness seemed to lose its haze, and faint lines seemed to slowly move in the void, with Huanglong Mountain as its root, winding outwards in all directions, like a hibernating dragon hidden between heaven and earth.

"This is... the flow of the spiritual veins beneath Huanglong Mountain!"

Gu Fan's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment's thought, he suddenly understood the root cause of the changes in the Myriad Manifestations Dharma Eye.

The fourth time the golden elixir was refined, the acupoint that was opened was called Tongxuan.

This technique does not increase magical power or strengthen the spirit; its only miraculous effect is to bring cultivators closer to the natural world and to the profound principles of heaven and earth.

What seems ordinary is actually a crucial leap towards the Nascent Soul stage.

The first three stages of refinement—the first refinement of spiritual connection, the second of qi connection, and the third of divine connection—ultimately hone the foundation within the golden core, strengthening magical power and divine soul. Only by opening this profound aperture can a cultivator qualify to shatter the core and form an infant.

Prior to this, his Myriad Manifestations Eye was mostly used to observe cultivation techniques and formations.

Now that his spiritual aperture has opened, his mind and spirit are connected with the profound principles of heaven and earth, and his all-seeing eye has also advanced—what he sees now is no longer just a simple spiritual vein, but the traces of the flow of profound principles between heaven and earth.

At this moment, even without the "Mysterious Ruins Earth Vein Map", he could identify the hidden spiritual veins!

Suppressing his joy, Gu Fan leaped down from the clouds.

Seeing Gu Fan's joyful expression and the sparkle in his beautiful eyes, Yang Mengyun immediately guessed what was going on. She smiled and bowed, saying, "Congratulations on your progress in cultivation, Senior."

Gu Fan nodded slightly, then suddenly asked, "Have you fully grasped the principles of the formation I left behind last time?"

Yang Mengyun's smile froze on her face.

I came here to offer my congratulations, how did I end up talking about formations?

Under Gu Fan's gaze, Yang Mengyun forced a smile and said, "This junior has not yet grasped the meaning, and I have disappointed you, senior."

"No rush, take your time," Gu Fan comforted him, then turned and walked back into the quiet room.

"How dare I slow down!" Yang Mengyun roared in her heart.

No one in the Yang family knew how long Gu Fan would stay. She had been repeatedly told not to miss the opportunity to learn from him, and she herself cherished it very much.

Back in the stone chamber, the gourd immediately pounced on him.

Gu Fan felt a weight in his arms, and there was a warm, fluffy little dumpling in his hands.

He rubbed his round face, sat cross-legged on the futon, and began to think about his future plans.

Nine years have passed.

In addition to condensing the Primordial Qi, Gu Fan also repaired the Azure Cloud Covering Umbrella.

Because it incorporates Xuan Yang Jade Silk, when the Azure Cloud Covering Umbrella is opened, what falls down is no longer azure clouds, but azure-gold Xuan light. Although it loses some of its etherealness, it gains a greater sense of majesty.

"From now on, let's just call it the Sky-Covering Umbrella!"

As for his cultivation techniques, Gu Fan did not neglect them.

Thanks to the Guiyuan Furnace's ability to produce True Yang Hao Ri Gang, the "Da Luo Nei Jing Tong Tian Xuan Zhang" can now set up sixteen array hubs, bringing it one step closer to the Golden Core stage's limit of thirty-six array hubs.

Only when refining the True Yang Hao Ri Gang must the Tai Hao Xuan Guang be released.

To avoid attracting attention, Gu Fan always released the animals more than a hundred miles away from Huanglong Mountain.

If any Yang family disciple were to travel a hundred miles to investigate, they would see the ravines and deep pits scattered haphazardly across the desolate land.

To Gu Fan's dismay, the cultivation speed of the "Star Evolution Divine Observation Method" has always been slow. To date, he can only visualize sixty stars, and he doesn't know how many years it will take to reach the sixth level of perfection.

"We've already obtained the Primordial Qi; the Yang family no longer needs to keep it."

"The appointment with Gu Qingyuan is worth making. I originally thought the origin of Chu Kingdom's martial arts would be the half-immortal ship that crashed in the Western Continent, but now it seems there's more to it than meets the eye."

Gu Fan stroked his chin, pondering the matter in his mind.

As the origin of cultivation in the Chu Kingdom, the Liangyi Hall holds countless opportunities.

The most striking example is the Li family's Immortal Peach Tree. The Worry-Free Tea refined from its leaves can enhance one's spiritual awareness. What if the Immortal Peach Tree bore fruit?

And what kind of miraculous effects and deliciousness must it have?

Thinking of this, Gu Fan couldn't help but feel his mouth water.

Now that the decision has been made to go as agreed, the only concern is the danger within the Ryougi-dono (Two Elements Hall).

With a flash of light, the Azure Lion Ring produced a half-foot-long piece of azure leather in Gu Fan's palm, radiating abundant spiritual light.

This is a piece of third-tier spirit beast skin, and its owner is none other than the gourd in Gu Fan's arms.

After the gourd refined the last bit of Chang Yuan's essence blood, its cultivation improved again, advancing towards the mid-stage of the third rank, while also shedding a layer of old skin.

Gu Fan used spiritual fire to temper the gourd's molted skin, and then added the remaining Xuan Yang Jade Silk from repairing the Covering Cloud Umbrella, finally refining a third-tier talisman.

Logically, to draw a third-tier spirit talisman, one needs the essence blood of a third-tier demon beast as the ink and the leather from its most prized part as the talisman paper. Although the gourd's molted skin contains spiritual energy, it is not concentrated.

Fortunately, the gourd was a third-tier spirit beast before it molted, and the entire molted skin was fifteen zhang long. After being refined, only a small piece the size of a palm remained, with highly concentrated spiritual energy.

Whether it is usable or not can only be known when the talisman is drawn.

The gourd, which was immersed in the caresses, suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help but shiver.

She looked up and met Gu Fan's slightly upturned lips.

"Good gourd, lie down, I have a favor to ask of you."

......

Three days later.

Hulu squatted sullenly in the corner of the stone chamber, turning his head away from Gu Fan.

Gu Fan sat cross-legged on the futon, slowly opened his eyes, and said helplessly in a low voice, "Just this once, I'll give you more pills in the future, and you'll recover quickly."

Hulu snorted and pointed at Chang Yuan with his short little hand.

"You little brat, how dare you set your sights on me!"

Chang Yuan flew into a rage and pounced on the gourd. The two spirit beasts immediately became entangled in a fight, crashing against the walls and causing the stone chamber to shake. If Gu Fan hadn't already reinforced the chamber with an array, their mere playful fighting would have been enough to flatten the stone chamber.

Moments later, the struggle ceased.

As expected, Chang Yuan won again.

Hulu walked dejectedly toward Gu Fan, his head held high with resentment.

Just then, Gu Fan placed his warm palm on top of the gourd and said softly, "Never mind, it's just a talisman. We can draw another one later."

Upon hearing this, Hulu remained silent for a moment, then suddenly broke free from Gu Fan's grasp, spitting out a drop of bright red essence blood. With a determined look in his eyes, he held the essence blood in his palm and handed it to Gu Fan.

Gu Fan and Hulu locked eyes, both slightly stunned.

......

The next day.

Inside the stone chamber, Hulu lay fast asleep on a futon.

After donating its essence and blood, it lost some vital energy. Gu Fan fed it a Qi-replenishing pill, which it is refining in its sleep.

As for Gu Fan himself, he stood in front of the table, preparing to draw a talisman.

The gourd's bloodline contains three elements: wood, water, and fire. The best option for drawing a talisman is to choose from these three elements. After thinking for a long time, Gu Fan decided to draw a "Silent Flower Talisman".

This is an extremely ruthless killing talisman.

He had practiced the drawing process dozens of times in his mind.

The talisman brush was lightly dipped into bright red blood essence and placed on the blue talisman paper. The magic power was steadily transmitted through the talisman brush, and the brush strokes drew out one rune after another.

The runes spread out in layers, like flowers blooming one after another, exuding a cool and lonely elegance.

In an instant, spiritual energy from all directions surged in, and a very faint blue light flowed across the talisman's surface, sealing the spiritual energy within the talisman paper.

"It's done!" Gu Fan smiled with relief.
