"Someone actually managed to refine the second strand of spiritual energy?"
When Lu Fan saw the system prompt, he couldn't help but be amazed.
In just three days, someone had actually refined the second strand of spiritual energy based on a single strand.
In fact, the human body also contains spiritual energy. All things in the world have spirits, it just depends on how much spiritual energy they contain.
When a living being is born, it already contains a strand of innate spiritual energy.
Of course, as time passes and metabolism changes, this strand of spiritual energy gradually wears away and hides within the limbs and bones of the body, becoming almost imperceptible until it disappears completely.
In a world without spiritual energy between heaven and earth, the only way to refine spiritual energy is to awaken and refine the innate spiritual energy within the body.
Of course, this method is incredibly difficult.
But this also precisely illustrates the terrifying talent of Xiang Shaoyun's cultivation.
Although the "Altar of Transcendence" claims to be randomly selected, in reality, it largely depends on talent.
Because most of those chosen by the "Altar of Transcendence" are martial artists.
Nie Changqing, needless to say, was once the tenth disciple of the Daoist Sect. Even Emperor Yu Wenxiu of the Great Zhou dynasty was skilled in martial arts.
As for Xiang Shaoyun, he was known as the Overlord of the Western Prefecture, possessing powerful strength and unmatched courage.
Rumors say that at the age of six, Xiang Shaoyun used his fists to explode a Grandmaster-level martial artist. After practicing martial arts, he cultivated his Qi and blood, rapidly advancing his cultivation base.
Overall, from the rumors Lu Fan heard, Xiang Shaoyun's martial arts prowess was definitely among the top three in the Great Zhou dynasty.
He could be regarded as the pinnacle of martial arts in this low-level martial world.
"Confirm extraction."
Calming his mind, Lu Fan chose to extract that strand of spiritual energy.
Suddenly, a new strand of spiritual energy appeared in the system panel, and the overall reserve of spiritual energy increased to 101 strands.
This can be considered as Lu Fan taking a solid first step towards reaching the third level of Qi refining.
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes slightly as a thought arose in his mind.
Besides exchanging Soul Strength, another main method for refining Qi was through the Altar of Transcendence...
Reaping dividends was always the most satisfying.
With this thought, Lu Fan's eyes involuntarily narrowed. As a result, the original plan to construct a secluded realm and kick off the revival of spiritual energy in this low-level martial world would need to be advanced.
He needed to provide some resources to these chosen individuals to enhance their strength.
The stronger they became, the more spiritual energy they condensed, and the greater Lu Fan's harvest would be.
However, he still needed to carefully study the construction of the secluded realm and the reflection of real-world locations.
Returning his focus, Lu Fan found himself within the Altar of Transcendence, surrounded by spiritual energy.
Below the Eight Trigrams Formation platform, the three blurry figures had already fully formed.
In fact, they had been communicating with each other for a long time.
Of course, in their conversation, they were still cautious and did not reveal their real identities, as Lu Fan had warned them before.
The spiritual energy surged.
The three individuals looked up and saw Lu Fan sitting cross-legged in the center of the "Altar of Transcendence," enveloped in swirling spiritual energy, also known as the "Six Great Immortals."
"Greetings, Immortal."
Xiang Shaoyun and Yu Wenxiu's eyes flickered with excitement as they respectfully bowed.
Their attitude was completely different from the first time they met Lu Fan.
Nie Changqing was also quite excited.
On the platform, Lu Fan's figure was shrouded in mist, appearing transcendent and ethereal. He glanced at the three of them indifferently, without uttering a word.
The atmosphere became strangely quiet.
This silence made people uncomfortable, as if there was an ant crawling in the palm of their hand.
Xiang Shaoyun couldn't bear it any longer.
He looked up, his eyes hotly staring at Lu Fan.
"Immortal! So there really are immortals in the world. I was ignorant before and doubted the existence of immortals. Today, I apologize to the immortal for my ignorance. I offer my apologies."
Below, Xiang Shaoyun cupped his hands and sincerely said, "May the immortal bless us with another chance of immortality!"
A hint of urgency flashed across Yu Wenxiu's face, and he opened his mouth to speak.
However...
Lu Fan, shrouded in spiritual energy, interrupted Yu Wenxiu's words before he could speak.
"Entering the Immortal Realm, everyone can obtain a chance of immortality."
"The chance of immortality has been granted, do not ask again. Anyone who asks again will be expelled."
Lu Fan's faint words came out of his mouth, lingering in the entire space.
The expressions of Xiang Shaoyun, Yu Wenxiu, and Nie Changqing all changed slightly.
"Great Immortal! You once said that you could help us deduce the Blood Moving Technique into a true immortal cultivation method. I beg you..."
Xiang Shaoyun was unwilling.
He had cultivated the second strand of spiritual energy and knew the benefits of spiritual energy. He also understood that this immortal in front of them was not bluffing.
Therefore, he was very clear about the importance of an immortal cultivation method.
Although he had cultivated the second strand of spiritual energy, it was because of his exceptional talent. It was extremely difficult to condense more spiritual energy without the assistance of a cultivation method. Without it, he couldn't find a way.
After all, the innate spiritual energy in a human body is limited.
However, just as Xiang Shaoyun finished speaking...
On the Eight Trigrams Formation platform.
Lu Fan's gaze swept past lightly.
Then, he casually waved his sleeve.
Boom!
Below.
Xiang Shaoyun's body instantly became blurred, and a terrifying pressure suddenly descended.
Causing Xiang Shaoyun's body to become unstable, his knees went weak, almost kneeling...
"You want me to kneel?!"
Xiang Shaoyun angrily stared, his body staggered, forcefully holding himself up, refusing to kneel.
He was the Overlord of the Western County, he wouldn't kneel to the heavens or the earth, even if Lu Fan really was an immortal!
What flowed through his bones was extreme pride.
"If you seek the chance of immortality, show your sincerity. If there is no sincerity, how can you seek immortality?"
Lu Fan's spiritual energy concealed him, appearing elusive, and he spoke indifferently.
His words were cold and lofty, as if looking down on ants.
Yu Wenxiu and Nie Changqing also felt the changes in the Six Great Immortals.
At this moment, the Six Great Immortals made them truly feel what it meant to be a immortal.
That arrogance, that coldness, that supreme indifference that looked down on all living beings, made them shudder.
Yu Wenxiu regretted a bit.
If he had known earlier, when he first came to this place, he should have asked the Immortal to deduce the Blood Moving Technique.
Now, asking for another chance of immortality wouldn't result in such a plight.
The terrifying pressure descended again.
Xiang Shaoyun's spine seemed to bend under the pressure.
He raised his head, even though the blurry figure made up of spiritual energy seemed to reveal a ferocious face.
On the Eight Trigrams Formation platform.
Lu Fan faintly smiled.
His mind moved.
The spiritual energy in the sky surged and turned into an overwhelming might.
This time, it wasn't just Xiang Shaoyun.
Even Nie Changqing and Yu Wenxiu felt their legs trembling under this pressure.
Yu Wenxiu felt both shocked and angry. He was the Son of Heaven...
As the supreme ruler, how could he kneel down?
He couldn't and didn't want to!
However...
Inside the Preaching Platform, Lu Fan had absolute control.
Under his control.
This pressure was even more terrifying than the combined spiritual pressure of three consecutive moves on the Spiritual Pressure Chessboard...
The three people below.
They resisted for a short while, but soon knelt on the swirling ground of spiritual energy.
Xiang Shaoyun's legs were on the verge of breaking under pressure...
Yu Wenxiu and Xiang Shaoyun's minds suffered a huge impact, they actually... knelt down?!
Nie Changqing was still okay, kneeling before an immortal and seeking the chance of immortality... for him, it was perfectly normal.
If he could learn one or two powerful immortal techniques like the Young Master Lu Fan's "Moving Pieces into Spiritual Pressure," then this kneel would be even more worth it.
Kneeling on the ground, Xiang Shaoyun stubbornly raised his head, his body seemingly on the verge of bursting.
Yu Wenxiu was a bit dazed.
In the center of the Eight Trigrams Formation platform.
Lu Fan seemed to have thought of something. Then, the sound of a faint smile echoed, as if a valley was singing in the air, lingering.
"Now that you have kneeled before the immortal, I shall grant you the chance of immortality."
"At the beginning of the revival of the Sky Dragon Ridge's spiritual energy..."
"This is the chance of immortality. Whether you can seize it... depends on yourselves."
Lu Fan's words made the three kneeling men tremble, and they pondered over the name "Sky Dragon Ridge".
However, before they could come to their senses, they saw the immortal on the Eight Trigrams Formation platform pinch his finger and send forth a powerful force like a dragon, crushing their bodies.
Causing the scene before their eyes to suddenly shatter.
