After purging the miasma within his body, Li Fan’s properties underwent significant changes.

The upper limit of his physical age broke through the threshold of one hundred and seemed to maintain a rising trend for the time being.

What thrilled Li Fan even more was the twofold increase in the upper limit of his mental age, reaching over two thousand years!

Such a result could not possibly be achieved merely by the Spirit Cleansing

Pond.

Could it be because of the mysterious appearance of “The Mystic Yellow Heart Refining Mantra”…

Li Fan was also clueless as to why the Xuanhuang Inner peace Spell had turned into the Heart-Refining Mantra.

When he was in the Spirit Cleansing Pond, he lost almost all consciousness due to the unbearable pain.

He was not sure what exactly happened afterward.

However, now wasn’t the time to scrutinize it in detail. Li Fan steadied his mind and said to He Zhenghao, “I’ll never forget your kindness, Immortal Teacher. I will repay you in due course.”

He Zhenghao had been waiting for Li Fan’s promise, so his tone softened even more, “My friend, what are you talking about? The Immortal Way is challenging, I just did my best to help.”

He took out a book and handed it to Li Fan, “After purging the miasma, the next step is to feel the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Energy, and draw it into one’s body. If you can condense the first wisp of Spiritual Energy within you, it means you have entered the Energy Refining Stage. Then, you can formally be regarded as a cultivator. This ‘Technique of Sensing Energy with the Five Spirits’ encapsulates the experiences of predecessors regarding sensing

Spiritual Energy. You must study it thoroughly.”

He then took out a small, square spirit symbol, earnestly handing it to Li Fan,

“This is the Dust Escape Talisman. You must carry it with you before drawing Qi into your body.”

Seeing that Li Fan had carefully accepted these two items, He Zhenghao explained, “Although you have removed the miasma from your body, it’s not a permanent solution. You still live among ordinary people and have to interact with mortals every day. Over time, you’re bound to be re-contaminated by the miasma. This Dust Escape Talisman can help you isolate the miasma, but it cannot last long. It can only maintain for about five years.”

“However, with your talent, breaking through to the Energy Refining Stage within five years should not be a difficult task,” He Zhenghao said with a smile.

“Once you break through to the Energy Refining Stage, come find me on this island. At that time, I will take you to the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals’ station in the Misthaven Ocean, the Ten Thousand Immortals Island. Once you get to the island, you can choose a suitable technique to continue your cultivation.”

He Zhenghao thoroughly briefed Li Fan about the things to be aware of during the process of drawing Qi into the body.

Li Fan committed all of it to memory attentively.

After finishing his explanation, Li Fan tactfully bid his farewell and left. “I hope this time will yield some results.”

Watching Li Fan’s fading figure, He Zhenghao muttered to himself. Then He Zhenghao looked at the peak beneath his feet, shook his head and said, “Its potential is exhausted; it’s time to find another mountain.”

After saying this, he flew to the sky above the Cloud Sea, swung his long sleeves, and gathered all the rolling clouds into his sleeves.

Looking at the continuous mountains below, He Zhenghao started selecting the peak that would grow the highest in the next hundred years.

The technique that He Zhenghao practiced was called “The Mountain-Seating Secret”.

The most significant feature of “The Mountain-Seating Secret” was to sit on the mountain and enjoy its growth.

Select a peak, sit on its top, run the technique, after several years, one can merge their Qi with the mountain’s aura.

From then onwards, for each increase in the mountain’s height, the practitioner’s cultivation will be nourished correspondingly and improved.

Conversely, if the chosen mountain’s height does not increase afterward, it would mean a waste of a decade of hard-earned cultivation time.

Apart from benefiting from the rise of the mountains, one could also benefit from helping others.

Just like when he helped Li Fan, if Li Fan could break through to the Energy Refining Stage in the future, he would receive feedback indirectly, enhancing his cultivation.

This was not about stealing other people’s cultivation, but more similar to the idea that when one person achieves enlightenment, everyone around them benefits.

The growth of the mountain brings forth the growth of the trees on it, and the growth of a giant also elevates everything around it.

Of course, compared to mountains and rivers, the conditions for helping people are not so strict. There is no need to bind yourself to one person, and you can spread the net wide. However, the initial investment determines how much return you will receive in the future.

Therefore, whenever he meets promising juniors, He Zhenghao never hesitates to lend them a hand.

After exiting the Central Array of Liuli Island, Li Fan returned to the Listening Ghost Tower without attracting anyone’s attention.

After purging the miasma, Li Fan felt very different from before.

It was as if he had become a dozen years younger, and both his vision and hearing had improved significantly.

He could even sense the pure energy flowing through heaven and earth.

Is this the Spiritual Energy…

Li Fan was overjoyed in his heart.

After drawing Qi into his body, he would become an Energy Refining Cultivator.

Li Fan couldn’t wait to cultivate day and night.

But before that, he needed to check the mysteriously appeared “Mystic Yellow Heart Refining Mantra”.

After searching in his Spirit Consciousness, he did not find any new way of running the mantra.

So, Li Fan decided to practice according to the method of “The Mysterious Yellow Heart-Purifying Mantra”.

As soon as he started, Li Fan detected the difference between the Heart-Refining Mantra and the Heart-Clearing Mantra.

Previously, when he practiced the Heart-Clearing Mantra, he usually needed half an hour to gradually calm his mind and eliminate all other thoughts from his Spirit Consciousness.

But once the Heart-Refining Mantra was deployed, in just a moment, Li Fan felt his mind become as clear as a mirror.

Three years of practicing the Heart-Clearing Mantra brought no visible benefits to Li Fan other than the evidence on the [Real] panel.

But when he practiced the Heart-Refining Mantra, Li Fan clearly felt his spirit strengthening every second.

Although the increase was minuscule, it was indeed happening!

Li Fan was inexplicably delighted, but this was followed by numerous doubts.

Why did the “The Mysterious Yellow Heart-Purifying Mantra,” which was commonplace in the Immortal World and used to remove miasma, become this incredible “Mystic Yellow Heart Refining Mantra” in my body?

“Do Immortal Laws prohibit the simultaneous practice of many techniques?

Does this Heart-Refining Mantra count as an Immortal Law?”

With his current knowledge about the Immortal World, Li Fan didn’t have any answer.

However, Li Fan had a hunch that there was a huge secret hidden within.

“I must investigate this matter secretly when I have the chance,” Li Fan thought to himself.

Being one step away from stepping into the threshold of cultivators, and the surprise acquisition of this mysterious technique, “Mystic Yellow Heart Refining Mantra,” Li Fan couldn’t help but feel self-satisfied.

However, not long after, he received a letter.

The news in the letter shattered his pride to pieces.

Xiao Heng had succeeded in drawing Qi into his body and had already gone to Ten Thousand Immortals Island..
