To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

The Heaven-Mending Elixir was just an unexpected bonus.

Gu Fan was more concerned about the Crystal Pure Heart Bamboo, since anyone would inevitably have concerns if a foreign object appeared in their sea of ​​consciousness.

After much pleading, cajoling, and even threats and inducements, Chang Yuan finally relented.

"The Crystal Pure Heart Bamboo is a rare spiritual root that can nourish the divine consciousness, refine inner demons, and after it grows up, it can even assist in enlightenment. Its wonders are beyond words."

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan immediately understood why Chang Yuan had such an expression.

Chang Yuan's divine sense had been tormented for many years in the Qian Yuan Soul-Slaying Array, declining from the peak of the Refining Void Demon Venerable to its current state, so he naturally craved the growth of his divine sense the most.

"But how did it get into my sea of ​​consciousness?" Gu Fan asked curiously.

Mentioning this matter, Chang Yuan became even more furious, gritting his teeth as he said, "The Glazed Pure Heart Bamboo is the purest of all. Once it is touched by a cultivator and tainted with their aura, it will bind itself to them, taking root in their sea of ​​consciousness and nourishing their divine sense."

"But don't get too cocky, kid. To nurture it to perfection, you'll need to expend an unimaginable amount of magical power to feed it. You probably won't be able to do it in your entire life!"

Gu Fan immediately burst out laughing, glad that he had pulled Chang Yuan back, otherwise he might have really succeeded.

He paid no attention to what Chang Yuan said.

The Crystal Pure Heart Bamboo takes root in the sea of ​​consciousness and needs to be nourished with magical power day and night to grow. Although his magical power is currently weak, as long as the path to immortality continues, he will eventually cultivate it to maturity.

Having inherited the array principles on the stone steps, Gu Fan's array skills have improved again. He is only one threshold away from being able to project an interdimensional teleportation array.

Over the past ten years, Gu Fan has not only studied the Dao of Arrays, but his cultivation has also not declined.

The Liangyi Hall was filled with spiritual energy, and after refining two spiritual leaves, he felt that he was not far from the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

In addition, the "Great Luo Inner Landscape Heavenly Profound Chapter" has also been improved, with twenty acupoints enlightened. The "Star Evolution Divine Observation Method" has made even more gratifying progress, having been tempered by the Great Void Divine Wind, and has visualized ten more stars, bringing the total to seventy.

Although he was still far from reaching the sixth level of perfection, Gu Fan felt much more confident with the Glazed Cleansing Bamboo.

Although the Crystal Pure Heart Bamboo cannot produce spiritual materials as continuously as the Immortal Peach Tree of the Peach Blossom Spring Li Family, its effects are even more rare.

The fact that it can refine inner demons alone is enough to make countless cultivators envious.

It should be known that when a cultivator breaks through the core and forms an infant, they must overcome the tribulation of inner demons; the slightest carelessness will result in death and the dissipation of their cultivation.

With the Crystal Pure Heart Bamboo, Gu Fan could at least rest easy regarding his inner demon tribulation.

With everything settled, Gu Fan left the palace and descended the stone steps.

Looking back, the palace was still bathed in the glow of the sunset, surrounded by clouds and mist, just as it had been on the day he arrived.

He smiled slightly and stepped into the teleportation array.

......

Chu Kingdom, Immortal City.

The Gu family, the overlords of Xianyuan City, has not been at peace in recent years.

First, the Yin-Yang Hall opened, but the Gu family twins, who could fight against late-stage Golden Core cultivators together, did not return. Then, the previous head of the Gu family failed to achieve Nascent Soul and died.

The entire Gu family was suddenly on the verge of collapse.

If it weren't for the fact that the current head of the Gu family still has a hundred years of lifespan and that the young master Gu Qingyuan has successfully formed his core, the once-prosperous Immortal Destiny City would probably have already declined.

Even so, in Gu Fan's view, the flow of people outside Immortal Fate City was much less than when he last came.

The Chu cultivators were surprised by the changes in the Gu family, but they could not easily accept them.

This has always been the case in the State of Chu: the immortal clans remain constant, while the noble clans come and go; as for the rise and fall of the commoner clans, no one cares.

After inquiring around outside the city, Gu Fan did not enter Immortal Fate City, but instead turned around and flew towards Stone Forest City.

He no longer desires the mines at the foot of Huanglong Mountain. Having been away for many years, he still longs for the Lingxiao Sect and has no intention of staying in the Chu Kingdom any longer.

But before leaving, he wanted to go back to the Yang family home for a visit.

Explore the endless possibilities of Xianxia novels, all in the category navigation.

Several days later, outside Shilin City.

Gu Fan stood in mid-air, his divine sense spreading out like a tide.

A moment later, he frowned.

Yang Ju, Yang Mengyun, and other acquaintances were not in Shilin City.

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Fan decided not to enter Shilin City and instead flew towards Huanglong Mountain.

Upon arriving outside Huanglong Mountain and seeing the scene before him, he raised an eyebrow slightly.

There was an additional protective array outside Huanglong Mountain. Although it was a mid-grade first-order array, which could be broken by a Foundation Establishment cultivator after several full-force attacks, it was still much better than the previous empty area.

Gu Fan walked to the array, a layer of spiritual light emanating from his body, and stepped through the barrier without any hindrance.

Such a high level of formation is useless to him now.

Outside the stone chamber where he once lived, a beautiful figure was squatting on the ground, intently carving array patterns.

Gu Fan glanced at it and nodded slightly.

"Not bad, it seems you've really put in the effort all these years."

Yang Mengyun, who was immersed in the array formation, suddenly froze, then quickly looked up, her eyes filled with disbelief: "Senior!"

Over the years, she truly believed that Gu Fan would never come back.

Seeing Yang Mengyun cheering, Gu Fan smiled slightly and asked, "Why are you the only one here? Where are Yang Yi and Yang Ju?"

At this point, her voice lowered: "The clan wants to capture a wisp of the ancestral Xuanpin Qi to help my uncle form his core."

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan frowned immediately.

Gu Qingyuan once said that the ancestral energy of the Xuanpin clan at auctions has never been prepared for the poor.

If the Yang family doesn't manage to get a picture, that's fine, but if they do, it could bring trouble.

Seeing Gu Fan's solemn expression, Yang Mengyun asked nervously, "Senior, is there something wrong with this matter?"

Gu Fan nodded and relayed to her what Gu Qingyuan had said.

Yang Mengyun's face instantly drained of color, and she said in a trembling voice, "Then... what should we do?"

After saying that, she looked at Gu Fan with pleading eyes.

Gu Fan comforted him, saying, "The ancestral energies of the Xuanpin clan at the auction are all sold in sets, and the prices are quite high. Your Yang family may not be able to afford them."

Yang Mengyun lowered her head, her expression complex, it was hard to tell whether she was relieved or disappointed.

Gu Fan stayed at Huanglong Mountain for another seven days, guiding Yang Mengyun in the art of array formations and resolving her past confusions one by one.

Just then, a disciple of the Yang family came to report that the clansmen who had gone to the Mo family's immortal city had returned.

Yang Mengyun immediately bid farewell to Gu Fan and went to investigate. After a while, she quickly returned, her face showing relief. She nodded and said, "What Senior said was indeed correct. Third Uncle did not manage to capture the Xuanpin Ancestral Qi."

Gu Fan nodded and stood up: "I've learned enough these past few days, I should go now."

Yang Mengyun looked at him with reluctance: "Senior...can't you stay a little longer?"

Gu Fan shook his head firmly.

Yang Mengyun pursed her lips, but the words of entreaty to keep her from leaving her mouth ultimately remained unspoken.

"Parting and reunion are common occurrences in life, there's no need to make a fuss about it." Gu Fan chuckled and added, "However, since we've met, I should give you a gift."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Fan casually tossed out a dark yellow stone.

Yang Mengyun hurriedly caught it, but when she looked up, Gu Fan had already disappeared.

She hurriedly chased after him out of the stone chamber, looking around, but couldn't find a single trace.

An endless sense of loss quietly welled up in my heart.
