第六十七章 执意修幻功

Third: If you wish to explore the bizarre, gather as many people as possible.

To understand the rules of the bizarre, the most effective method is to sacrifice lives.

Believe in yourself; you will definitely not be the first one to die!

...

Li Fan finished reading "Survival Guide for Exploring Ruins of Sects," feeling that the 100 contribution points were well spent. With this experience, he would have a better chance when exploring Cloud Water Heavenly Palace two years later.

In his previous life, after Si Kong Yi found and obtained the "Cloud Water Scroll" from Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, gaining 100,000 contribution points, it sparked the enthusiasm of cultivators in Cunyun Sea to explore Cloud Water Heavenly Palace.

Although the "Cloud Water Scroll" had been taken away, ...

Cloud Water Heavenly Palace was so vast; there must be more treasures inside than just the "Cloud Water Scroll," right?

With this mindset, the cultivators from Cunyun Sea continued to rush towards Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, even attracting distant continent wandering cultivators. Their thoughts were indeed correct.

Until the 27th year of anchoring in his previous life, when Li Fan was at the Qi Breathing stage, Cloud Water Heavenly Palace had not been fully explored yet. News of cultivators discovering treasures there kept coming out, envying everyone.

And because so many people continuously explored it, most of the bizarre rules within Cloud Water Heavenly Palace were no longer secrets.

Li Fan had heard about this in his previous life.

However...

There was always much speculation and no definitive answer on how Si Kong Yi obtained the "Cloud Water Scroll."

So, Li Fan's best approach in this life to obtain the "Cloud Water Scroll" would be to secretly follow Si Kong Yi and intercept him when he was about to succeed.

With two years left until Cloud Water Heavenly Palace opened, he could gather information on Si Kong Yi first. Knowing oneself and others.

At the same time, he needed to improve his strength as much as possible.

Li Fan's gaze fell upon a stack of killing techniques in the "Heavenly Qi Mirror."

Killing techniques were significantly more expensive than ordinary ones. His previous cultivation technique, "Small Derivative Water Decree," cost only 1200 contribution points. The price for killing techniques was around 1500.

Li Fan quickly browsed through the descriptions and picked out suitable techniques.

"Flowing Water Sword Decree," "Small Gao Wind Sword," "Crimson Meteor..."

Suddenly, his eyes stopped on a particular technique.

"Mortal Spirit Illusion Art."

After carefully reading its description several times, Li Fan felt an intense desire. According to the description, this was a main cultivation technique for illusion arts. It involved cultivating a "Mortal Spirit" in one's mind and releasing it when encountering enemies to confuse them. Once powerful enough, it could even infiltrate others' minds and launch mental attacks directly.

This technique seemed tailor-made for him!

Although he didn't know how his mental strength compared to other cultivators, after reincarnating several times over centuries with the Xuanhuang Refining Heart Spell's enhancement, his mental strength wouldn't be too weak.

Moreover, cultivating a "Mortal Spirit."

A crimson figure suddenly appeared in Li Fan's mind.

If he used the Crimson Flame as a model for cultivation, the "Mortal Spirit" formed should have considerable power, right?

Li Fan pondered this and decided to buy this technique. However, its price...

He checked and his eyes widened.

2500 contribution points!

Almost the same as an almost Foundation Establishment technique!

No wonder it seemed so powerful but was rarely purchased by others.

Actually, Li Fan had misunderstood. The high price of "Mortal Spirit Illusion Art" was due to the rarity of illusion techniques rather than their strength. Most cultivators' mental strengths were roughly equal before the Great Tribulation. After all, specialized techniques for strengthening mental power were rare even then, let alone in an era where Immortal Techniques could not be practiced simultaneously.

With few ways to enhance one's mental strength, most cultivators had similar levels of mental strength. In such a situation, very few would use their minds to attack others; it often meant mutual destruction.

This was why "Mortal Spirit Illusion Art" seemed somewhat useless to other cultivators—it was just an illusion technique, not an enhancement method.

Since few dared to use mental attacks, who would be willing to spend 2500 contribution points for a little illusion?

Thanks to the Xuanhuang Refining Heart Spell and his firsthand experience with the Heavenly Soul's Crimson Flame, "Mortal Spirit Illusion Art" could produce much more significant effects in Li Fan's hands.

Regardless, he finally gritted his teeth and purchased "Mortal Spirit Illusion Art."

In an instant, Li Fan's contribution points dropped to 1321. Contribution points came quickly but went just as fast!

He originally wanted to buy aevasion technique technique, but it was already insufficient; he would have to wait for later.

For now, his priority was to cultivate "Mortal Spirit Illusion Art" to the late Qi Breathing stage with the Heavenly Qi Mirror's auxiliary cultivation mode and Linglong Crystal Pearl nearby.

With a clear mind like a mirror, the complex technique became as easy to understand as elementary school textbooks. The pure cultivation from "Small Derivative Water Decree" in his dantian served as nourishment, accelerating his cultivation progress at an incredible rate.

Within less than a day, he had reached the middle Qi Breathing stage with "Mortal Spirit Illusion Art."

At this stage, he could start cultivating the "Mortal Spirit." Although it was called a spirit, one couldn't create something out of thin air. It needed to be based on real objects from the cultivation world.

Thoughts flowed slowly as scenes from his past flashed before him.

Li Fan seemed to return to the moment in his previous life when he witnessed the Crimson Flame burning the sea.

A faint figure slowly appeared in Li Fan's mind.

Even just this unformed figure, Li Fan suddenly felt a sharp increase in body temperature. Sweat dripped down his body.

Frowning, he forcefully activated the Refining Heart Spell to suppress the heat.

He continued to visualize the Crimson Flame figure.

As the "Mortal Spirit" slowly took shape, Li Fan's body temperature rose higher and higher.

If before it was like being in a desert under intense sunlight, now it felt as if he were being roasted by a fire.

The more he visualized, the more terrifying the heat became.

Finally, when his body temperature reached an extreme limit, the clothes he wore spontaneously caught fire.

"Bang!"

Unable to maintain concentration, the figure in his mind instantly dissipated. Li Fan spat out a mouthful of blood.

The blood seemed to emit high temperatures and evaporated before it could hit the ground.

Wiping away the blood from his lips, Li Fan didn't lose heart. He bought a medicinal pill from the Heavenly Qi Mirror to recover briefly before starting again.
