"When facing the Transcendent Lord of Longevity at the Harmony Realm during my Harmony, I should have some resistance, right?" Li Fan thought to himself.
Sorting out his thoughts and suppressing his fantasies, Li Fan began practicing the "Profound Mysteries of True Spirit Transformation."
"The true spirit of a person, like the flowers of a tree. Thousands of trees and myriad flowers, creating wonders in the mysterious."
"Profound and unpredictable, changing at will."
...
Li Fan first read through it and then began cultivating with closed eyes. Soon, he opened his eyes, slightly furrowing his brows.
When he first read "Profound Mysteries of True Spirit Transformation," he was attracted by the content of the technique, and his emotions surged. However, when he began practicing, he found that this technique was somewhat too obscure and difficult to understand.
It even felt more challenging than when he first cultivated the "Thousand Mechanisms Golden Chapter."
But thinking about it, this was natural.
For techniques involving fundamental changes in the essence of life, if Li Fan could easily master them, he would probably doubt the effectiveness of the technique.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Fan took out a "Enlightenment Pill" from his storage ring.
Although it looked plain and unremarkable, this black-and-white pill could rival the accelerated cultivation mode of the Heavenly Profound Mirror.
This pill was obtained when his second body, Lin Fan, went to the Nine Mountain Province to buy techniques. Due to limited supply, he only had six of them.
He had been reluctant to use them before, but now it was the perfect time.
"The effective duration of one Enlightenment Pill is roughly about a month. Hopefully, in six months, I can get a grasp of the 'Profound Mysteries of True Spirit Transformation,'" Li Fan thought to himself as he ingested the Enlightenment Pill.
Then he entered the state of enlightenment in the Heavenly Profound Mirror.
With the combination of the two, Li Fan felt that the interior of the Heavenly Profound Mirror seemed to become brighter in an instant.
With a slight movement of his thoughts, the written content of the "Profound Mysteries of True Spirit Transformation," which he had just read, simultaneously appeared in his mind.
Every word and every sentence spontaneously compared with similar parts in the secret books he had read in the past.
This was called making analogies.
In just a few breaths of time, the written content of "Profound Mysteries of True Spirit Transformation" in Li Fan's mind expanded several times over.
Annotations composed of past experiences filled every line and space, creating a rich understanding.
The unknown terms and phrases in the technique were continuously changing, as if Li Fan was subconsciously pondering and comprehending.
Li Fan's true self seemed like a general commanding the army, observing the evolution of his understanding of the technique in an orderly manner.
His thoughts were exceptionally clear, everything under control.
Li Fan couldn't help but feel a sense of having a pearl of wisdom in his grasp, as if he could calculate the world.
The profound and intricate "Profound Mysteries of True Spirit Transformation," at this moment in Li Fan's eyes, didn't seem so difficult to understand.
He even had the spare capacity to contemplate the next plan.
...
While Li Fan's main body was diligently cultivating, at the headquarters of the Immortal Alliance, in front of the black stone stele of the Guardian Hall.
Han Yi finally walked out in high spirits.
"Congratulations, fellow daoist. At a glance, I can tell that Han Daoist has gained a lot this time!" Li Fan was the first to open his eyes, smiling.
"Haha, easy to say, easy to say." Although Han Yi restrained himself for a moment, the joy on his face couldn't be hidden.
"But once you leave the headquarters of the Immortal Alliance, fellow daoist still needs to be careful. Now, all the cultivators in the world know that you possess a Harmony-level technique..." Li Fan kindly reminded him.
Han Yi's expression became serious when he heard this.
He bowed towards Li Fan and said, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I naturally understand this principle."
At this moment, the voice of Ximen Yue also rang out, "Being able to say this indicates that Fellow Daoist Xiao Fan is worth deep friendship!"
Han Yi nodded in agreement.
Li Fan just smiled without responding and asked, "I wonder what the two of you plan to do in the future?"
Ximen Yue scratched his head and said, "I don't have any long-term plans. Currently, my idea is to stay in Tianquan City, complete the cultivation of the technique, and then decide."
"What about you, Fellow Daoist Xiao Fan?" He asked in return.
Li Fan glanced at Han Yi beside him, smiled, and said, "Earlier, I heard from Han Fellow Daoist that he obtained a treasure called the 'Heavenly Feather Transformation Pill' from the Blue Feather Legacy. It piqued my curiosity about the Source Dao Province."
"Now that there's nothing urgent, I plan to go to the Source Dao Province and try my luck. Maybe I'll find a good opportunity."
Ximen Yue couldn't help but be a little surprised, "The Blue Feather Immortal Lord fell so long ago, I'm afraid all the treasures in the Blue Feather Legacy have been looted, right?"
Han Yi heard this and couldn't help but say, "That's not the case. It's strange to say that although it's been eight years since the fall of the Immortal Lord, new Blue Feather Boxes still appear in the Source Dao Province from time to time. It doesn't seem like someone's prank, and the items inside are quite valuable."
"So, if Fellow Daoist Xiao Fan really wants to try his luck, there's no harm in it."
"Such strange things?" Ximen Yue rubbed his chin, looking puzzled.
Li Fan smiled at Han Yi and said, "I don't expect to have the same luck as Han Fellow Daoist. For me, finding a Blue Feather Box would be a great stroke of luck."
Han Yi hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be modest. In my opinion, your luck is by no means ordinary..."
He stopped halfway through his words, his face suddenly showing a bit of embarrassment.
Li Fan sensed a slight change but didn't inquire further. Instead, he took the initiative to resolve it, "What about you, Fellow Daoist Han?"
After hesitating for a moment, Han Yi answered, "Although Tianyu Province is good, it's not where I should stay. I...,"
His eyes narrowed, seemingly lost in thought.
After a few breaths, he decisively replied, "I still want to return to the Source Dao Province."
Li Fan and Ximen Yue looked at each other and exchanged some inexplicable expressions.
However, they both maintained tacit understanding and didn't inquire further.
Ximen Yue looked at Li Fan and Han Yi, teasingly said, "Then you two can be companions on the way?"
Li Fan nodded slightly, and Han Yi also agreed, "That's natural."
While the three were chatting, the black-clothed guide who led them finally recovered from the stone statue state.
"Alright, since everything is settled, don't delay any longer. Let me take you out."
The three immediately stopped chatting and followed the black-clothed guide back along the original path.
As they transformed into light and shuttled down from above towards the exit, Li Fan, with sharp eyes, saw that under the floating land beneath the Guardian Hall, there were inexplicably gathered hundreds of young cultivators.
Some of them even looked like children in their teens.
These people were obviously not part of the personnel of the Immortal Alliance Headquarters. Li Fan couldn't help asking the black-clothed guide, "Senior, what is that place?"
The black-clothed guide obviously understood why Li Fan asked and casually replied, "That's the 'Museum of Divine Collections.'"
"Inside, they collect historical items with commemorative value."
