"So, he was a premature baby."
"It's not that difficult to treat, but..."
Yin-Yang Dragon-Tiger Pill, Innate Qi-Infusing Pill, Original Nourishing Essence Pill...
Li Fan looked at the names of the required medicinal pills for treatment and the approximate materials needed for alchemy, shaking his head inwardly.
"As a practitioner of the Embodiment of Freedom, our small sect in the wilderness doesn't have the art of alchemy. Besides, we're quite impoverished. Even if we know these pills work, it's doubtful we could find them."
"Moreover, whether these pills existed thousands of years ago is also uncertain."
Li Fan went through all the remaining information, and the common approach was to use heavenly treasures and earth treasures to supplement the deficient body.
However, none of them suited the environment of the young Tianyang.
It was indeed very rare for a cultivator to have such weak innate constitution as Tianyang, to the point of being a unique case. Since the re-establishment of the Immortal Alliance, there hadn't been many occurrences like this.
Hence, it was considered a typical difficult and complicated case, with very few references for Li Fan to consider.
"Do I have to resort to breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm?"
"Wait a minute, how could I forget about this!"
Li Fan first blanked out, then suddenly realized.
Activating the secret technique of Embodiment of Dao, he quickly flipped through the "Heavenly Medical Sage Classic" stored in his memory.
Although Li Fan had memorized the entire medical scripture, its content was vast, and he had only stored it in the blue crystal in his mind. It still couldn't be used effortlessly with a single thought.
Therefore, sometimes he instinctively ignored it.
The "Heavenly Medical Sage Classic" was indeed profound, not disappointing Li Fan.
Soon, Li Fan found the description of the corresponding ailment.
"... excessive sleepiness, stagnation of growth, all due to insufficient innate essence and energy."
"To treat this condition, there are three methods."
"First is to supplement, second is to endanger, and third is to poison."
Li Fan looked through the three methods in the medical scripture and couldn't help but secretly admire.
"The path of medicine is truly not to be underestimated."
The first method, supplementation, was similar to the method Li Fan had found earlier in the Heavenly Mirror—using heavenly and earthly treasures to supplement innate essence and energy.
The other two methods, endangerment and poisoning, were more intriguing.
According to the medical scripture, even if someone had an inherent deficiency, as long as they survived the first year after birth, their postnatal constitution would be complete, forming a single entity.
The human body contained an infinite hidden potential, but ordinary means couldn't tap into it. Only during deep sleep, in an unconscious state, could the body's vital force be instinctively manipulated to supplement innate deficiencies.
This was why those with innate deficiencies often fell into a perpetual state of deep sleep.
The two methods of endangerment and poisoning were based on this theoretical foundation.
Both methods aimed to forcefully stimulate the body's hidden potential by taking medicine, thereby compensating for the innate weakness.
If the vital force and vitality in the body were likened to water, then someone with innate weakness was like a downstream land suffering from drought and cracking due to lack of water.
The hidden potential in the human body was akin to a vast reservoir upstream.
The method of poisoning involved directly blowing up the reservoir, a desperate measure, risking one's life to seek survival. It was suitable for situations where the patient was at the end of their rope.
On the other hand, the method of endangerment involved periodically opening the floodgates to replenish the essence and energy within the body. Simultaneously, it diverted other streams to achieve a dual effect.
...
"These two methods seem incredible, but they have their own rationale."
"In dire situations, people often unleash powers far beyond the ordinary."
"The hidden potential in the human body..."
"Could this be the path to becoming a heavenly physician in the Dao?"
"Perhaps, in addition to cultivating and array strategies, I should also study and delve into the 'Heavenly Medical Sage Classic.'"
Having found a solution, Li Fan didn't hastily use the Eternal Remembrance again. Instead, he checked the battle situation of Zhan Qianmo in the "Contemplating the Dao While Seated."
"Ninety-eight victories, twenty-eight draws."
There still was no winner.
As Zhan Qianmo's victories increased, more attention was drawn to him, and the strength of challengers continued to grow. Among them was a cultivator named "I Am Invincible," who seemed to have created a character based on himself. Despite consecutive defeats, the duration of the battles kept getting longer. After the last fight, he excitedly sent a message, claiming to have figured out how to defeat Zhan Qianmo. He promised to challenge him as soon as he finished cultivating.
Li Fan was quite looking forward to this.
Based on the explanation in "Still True" about using the Eternal Remembrance to create the True World, Li Fan speculated about why he had been trapped in Ningyuan City in the Meteoric Immortal Realm.
"It should still be influenced by attachments. Just like being unable to leave the Tianyang Cave Mansion, I can never leave Ningyuan City without resolving my attachments."
"As for whose attachments and what attachments..."
"For now, the most likely one is related to Zhan Qianmo."
"Perhaps defeating him will bring about some different changes."
"I hope this 'I Am Invincible' truly lives up to their name and doesn't disappoint me."
After closing the "Contemplating the Dao While Seated," Li Fan checked the situation with Xiao Heng.
Since receiving the signal from "Senior Skull," Xiao Heng had started to act. Su Xiaomei officially entered the Nascent Soul stage and received Li Fan's transmitted "Six Desires Without Form." Stepping into the Foundation Building stage, her cultivation soared rapidly. Su Changyu still hadn't completed the removal of the Immortal and Mortal Miasma within her, but perhaps due to her young age, the progress was much faster than before. It was estimated that within a year or two, she could successfully attract Qi into her body.
Xiao Heng quietly brought the wandering Yin sisters to the deserted island and taught them methods to remove the miasma. The same went for Zhang Haobo.
However, during this process, there was a little absurd incident that amused Li Fan.
As Ye Feipeng had been alone outside for years, engaging in mysterious activities without replying to Xiao Heng's frequent messages, Xiao Heng had to handle these matters alone.
So, when Ye Feipeng returned to the deserted island with a smug look on his face, suddenly seeing Zhang Haobo standing on the beach, silently watching him with a calm expression, he felt extremely guilty. The chubby guy thought that his secret of seizing Zhang Haobo's opportunity had been discovered, and someone had come to seek revenge.
Ye Feipeng was instantly frightened.
In front of this former "Dao Sovereign" from the previous life, he didn't have the slightest thought of resistance. Instead, he chose to run away immediately.
With a speed several times faster than when he arrived, he fled without looking back.
Only leaving behind Zhang Haobo, looking bewildered on the beach.
Although, after communicating with Ye Feipeng and Xiao Heng, the misunderstanding was resolved, Ye Feipeng currently had no face to return to the deserted island.
He continued to chase the wind disasters in the Cong Yun Sea.
