Chapter 47: Tianxuan Realm Can Enlightenment
Li Fan was somewhat surprised. He had just entered Ten Thousand Immortals Island not long ago; how could someone be sending him a video message?
After opening it, a somewhat familiar figure appeared.
It was Xiao Heng.
Now he looked like a completely different person compared to four or five years ago.
Dressed in a white robe, with long hair flowing, he exuded an air of detachment from the mundane world.
"Brother Li, you've finally arrived," Xiao Heng said with a smile.
"Back on Liuli Island, I was greatly indebted to your care. I had no way to repay you, and when I left without saying goodbye upon breaking through to the Qi Refining Stage, I felt even more guilty."
"Only after coming to Ten Thousand Immortals Island did I realize how scarce Cultivation Techniques are in the Cultivation World. Newcomers to the Myriad Immortals Alliance often need one or two years to accumulate Contribution Points before they can afford a Qi Refinement Stage technique."
"That was my experience. Fortunately, as strength increases, the ways to earn Contribution Points also grow, and things gradually improve."
"Since starting my cultivation, I've encountered many opportunities. A year ago, I just broke through to the Late Stage of Qi Refining, but now I've hit a Bottleneck. I plan to head to the center of the Congyun Sea, the ruins of Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, to seek a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object and establish my Dao Foundation. Such objects are hard to find; this journey may take several years before I return."
"Before I leave, I've left you a water-attributed Cultivation Technique. Ten Thousand Immortals Island is located in the Congyun Sea, where water Qi is most abundant. Cultivating a water-attributed technique is easiest and quite powerful. Brother Li, remember to Cultivate diligently and don't venture off the island rashly until you break through to the Middle Stage of Qi Refining."
"When I return, I must have a good drink with you, Brother Li!"
…
Xiao Heng's figure gradually disappeared, leaving behind a Jade Slip.
"Small衍Water Decisive, Qi Refinement Stage Cultivation Technique. Current number of practitioners: 0."
Li Fan checked and found that Xiao Heng's Small衍Water Decisive only covered up to the Middle Stage of Qi Refining; it was incomplete.
Even so, at the Tianxuan Mirror, it would cost a full 800 Contribution Points to exchange.
"This kid…" Li Fan felt a warmth in his heart.
To be honest, Li Fan hadn't done any great favor for Xiao Heng.
He had merely buried Su Changyu and helped him secure a slightly better dwelling on Liuli Island.
Moreover, Xiao Heng had provided Li Fan with the correct information about Starsea Quicksand.
Yet Xiao Heng had always remembered this small kindness, and even though his cultivation Realm had far surpassed Li Fan's, he hadn't forgotten.
From this, it seemed Xiao Heng's character was indeed good.
Of course, this might also be partly because Xiao Heng thought they were both from the Li Realm.
Regardless, Li Fan noted this matter.
He, Li Fan, was not one to repay kindness with enmity.
Along with the Small衍Water Decisive, another small Jade Slip appeared.
It was the Supreme Primordial True Scripture, which Li Fan had heard Kou Hong mention long ago.
Cultivating this technique allowed one to freely disperse one's cultivation without much loss of power. In today's Cultivation World, every Immortal Cultivator must learn it.
With the Small衍Water Decisive and the Thousand Machines Jade Universe Golden Chapter in hand, supplemented by the Supreme Primordial True Scripture,
Li Fan quickly made a decision.
He would outwardly Cultivate the Small衍Water Decisive to mask his true practice, while secretly cultivating the Thousand Machines Jade Universe Golden Chapter.
Of course, it was best to find an excuse to leave Ten Thousand Immortals Island before cultivating the Thousand Machines Jade Universe Golden Chapter. Although the Tianxuan Realm might not notice a small Qi Refining Stage Cultivator like Li Fan, caution was always wise.
Li Fan, new to the Cultivation World, knew nothing about many things.
He needed to catch up on knowledge.
Fortunately, information related to common knowledge in the Tianxuan Mirror was freely accessible.
So Li Fan spent several whole days in the Tianxuan Mirror, voraciously reading relevant information.
"Congyun Sea Atlas," detailing the geography, specialties, and history of the islands in the Congyun Sea.
"Pre-Cultivation Treatise," explaining issues to note before formally cultivating a technique after entering the Qi Refining Stage, such as basic application of Divine Sense and manipulation of Qi.
"Techniques, Wealth, Companions, and Caves," introducing the four essential elements of cultivation: Cultivation Techniques, property, Dao Companions, and Immortal Caves. It emphasized the scarcity and importance of techniques in today's Cultivation World, especially warning young Cultivators not to casually reveal their techniques to others, lest unimaginable trouble arise.
"The Secret History of Ancient Cultivation," a first-person account of how an Outer Sect Disciple of the ancient Great Dao Sect gradually became an Inner Sect Disciple, True Disciple, Dao Son, and finally the Sect Leader through various trials.
"Tianxuan Mirror Shopping Guide," listing the first few items worth exchanging at the Tianxuan Mirror, such as Storage Rings and protective Dharma robes.
…
Li Fan spent seven or eight days reading all these free books.
Next, things he coveted, such as "Introduction to Formations," "Preliminary Understanding of Alchemy," "Basics of Artifact Refining," and "Illustrated Guide to Treasures of the Cultivation World," all required a large number of Contribution Points to exchange.
As a newcomer, Li Fan's pockets were empty, so he had to wait until later.
Taking advantage of the remaining free time in the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan began cultivating the Small衍Water Decisive.
He already knew the benefits of cultivating in the Tianxuan Mirror.
By spending Contribution Points, one could activate the Tianxuan Mirror's assisted cultivation mode.
In this mode, the Spiritual Qi concentration inside the Tianxuan Mirror increased several times compared to the outside, rivaling top-tier Immortal Caves. It could also convert into the corresponding attribute Spiritual Qi needed by the Cultivator, inexhaustible, allowing cultivation without worrying about insufficient Qi.
Moreover, the Tianxuan Mirror granted a state of "Enlightenment" to those cultivating inside. In this state, Comprehension Ability was greatly enhanced, making it easier to Cultivate techniques.
Spending 10 Contribution Points, Li Fan exchanged for one day of assisted cultivation.
With a massive influx of Spiritual Qi, Li Fan began cultivating according to the Small衍Water Decisive.
Soon, he felt the boost in cultivation speed from the Tianxuan Mirror.
Spiritual Qi seemed compressed and accelerated, spontaneously gathering into Li Fan's body.
The obscure and profound sentences in the Water Decisive became easy to read and understand at a glance.
The first circulation of Qi along the technique's path felt as smooth as if it had been practiced thousands of times.
This "super cultivation state" almost made Li Fan feel like a genius.
Cultivation had become a pleasure.
Li Fan immersed himself in it, unable to stop.
One day passed quickly.
When the time was up, Li Fan was abruptly pulled out of that incredibly smooth cultivation state.
When he tried to circulate his Qi again, he deeply felt the difference.
The cultivation speed in assisted mode was over thirty times faster than his own practice!
This stark contrast made Li Fan almost unable to resist exchanging for another day.
But looking at his remaining 10 Contribution Points, he forced himself to hold back.
"Such a treasure should belong to me."
A wave of greed surged in Li Fan's heart.
