Chapter 40: Chance brings miracles
The young men watched Li Fan fly away like a cloud, and then they suddenly realized that there was no deception or exaggeration in Master He's words, and they all felt ashamed.
"Those who enter the spirit pool first will get more spiritual liquid. Hurry up and go." Master He's expression relaxed and he said to the young men.
So the young men rushed towards the sea of clouds.
…
Surrounded by the thick sea of clouds, Li Fan felt lost.
The white clouds around him continued to gather towards him, becoming thicker and thicker.
In a moment, it gathered and formed a white spiritual liquid, which wrapped Li Fan.
Being in the spiritual liquid, Li Fan not only did not feel suffocated, but felt extremely warm and comfortable.
Just like a fetus in the mother's womb, Li Fan's mind gradually relaxed completely.
The warm breath flowed through every inch of his skin, penetrated through his pores, and entered Li Fan's body.
His entire body and soul seemed to be soaked in hot water, making Li Fan almost unable to help moaning in comfort.
But then the warmth turned to heat.
Scorching hot becomes boiling hot.
The scalding heat turns into scorching fire.
Caught off guard, Li Fan let out a wail.
At this moment, he lost control of his body.
He could only feel the magma-like heat flowing and destroying his body, tearing and drilling every inch of his nerves.
This kind of pain was unbearable for a human being. Li Fan subconsciously wanted to exhale "Zhenzhen", but he still endured it.
"After three hundred years of searching, isn't this the moment?"
"No matter what, I will never give up."
"I want to cultivate immortality, I want to live forever!"
Li Fan's consciousness became fragmented in the severe pain, but a strong obsession supported him and prevented him from collapsing.
The heat circulated in his body and seemed to have no end.
With each cycle, the damage and pain increase.
In the end, the pain had reached a point where it was difficult to describe in words.
The pain was like a knife, cutting Li Fan's soul into pieces thousands of times, endlessly and without stopping.
No matter how strong Li Fan's will is, he will gradually lose his resistance in the face of this level of pain.
Slowly, Li Fan's consciousness became increasingly vague.
His consciousness began to fade.
Even at this moment, the obsession in Li Fan's heart made him hold on and not activate [Zhenzhen].
Consciousness became almost blank.
Immortal cultivation, longevity, miasma removal, spirit pond, Liuli Island, wonders of heaven and earth, really...
All these thoughts slowly dissipated as Li Fan's consciousness calmed down.
Instinct replaced the self, and thus the "Xuanhuang Qingxin Mantra" that Li Fan had been practicing day and night almost non-stop since he came to Liuli Island began to run naturally.
As the Heart Purification Mantra was performed, Li Fan's consciousness seemed to have a backbone, and it became more concentrated and stronger.
Although it is still in a state of ignorance, it is gradually becoming like a reef on the seashore, which will not fall down no matter how strong the wind blows or the waves are.
…
Three days passed in a flash.
Of the thirteen people who had entered the Spirit Purification Pond, eleven have already come out.
Only four out of the eleven people succeeded in removing the miasma from their bodies; the remaining seven could not endure the severe pain and the removal failed.
Apart from the unlucky guy who died, the remaining person who had not shown up was naturally Li Fan.
He Zhenghao became more and more surprised as he sensed the faint aura within the spirit pool formation.
As the cultivator who presided over the spirit pool formation, he knew clearly how painful it was when the immortal miasma in a mortal's body was removed.
The miasma of immortals and mortals is deeply hidden in the blood of mortals and has been present with their flesh and blood since the fetus was formed.
As mortals grow older, the miasma between immortals and mortals becomes increasingly inseparable from flesh and blood.
This spiritual pool formation for purifying the body was created by Dongji Tianzun, one of the leaders of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
The miasma is forced out by completely destroying the body, and then the body is reshaped by the power of regeneration.
Repeat this process until all the miasma in the body is eliminated.
The older you get, the harder it is to separate the miasma from your flesh and blood in your body.
The more times of destruction and reconstruction are needed to completely eliminate the immortal and mortal miasma.
The pain experienced is unimaginable!
He Zhenghao has been in charge of the formation on Liuli Island for more than fifty years. The oldest person he has seen who can persist in completing the body purification is only thirty-one years old.
He Zhenghao believed that for people of Li Fan's age, there was no hope of success at all.
But now, Li Fan's performance was far beyond his expectations.
"This man's determination is simply shocking. If he can successfully purify his body, it will not be difficult for him to cultivate to the foundation-building stage, or even the golden elixir stage..." He Zhenghao's eyes flickered. "Perhaps, I can make a good relationship with him early."
At that moment, He Zhenghao sent the rest of the people out of the magic circle first, and waited for Li Fan alone inside.
Another three days passed. He Zhenghao was so shocked that he was speechless when he saw Li Fan, who still hadn't come out.
If He Zhenghao could not still sense Li Fan's stable life breath in the formation, he would have rushed in long ago.
But there was no way out at the moment. The body purification array could not be interrupted without permission, so he could only continue to wait.
…
Another three days.
He Zhenghao's face turned a little ugly. He didn't know what kind of monster he had encountered that could actually last so long in this body-purifying spirit pool formation.
What's worse, there are not enough materials to keep the magic circle running.
If there are insufficient materials, the formation will be forced to terminate, which will lead to unpredictable consequences and may even result in all previous efforts being wasted.
According to common sense, even if the magic circle was terminated at this time, it could only be considered Li Fan's bad luck and had nothing to do with him, He Zhenghao.
But when he thought of Li Fan's terrifying and firm will, He Zhenghao's expression changed.
"Forget it, forget it. Just consider it as a bet that this kid will achieve extraordinary success in the future!"
After saying that, He Zhenghao made a hand gesture and items flew out of his storage ring one by one and disappeared into the depths of the sea of clouds.
"Fortunately, I always secretly keep a copy of these materials for myself..." He Zhenghao muttered with a painful look at the storage ring that was half empty.
…
Two days later, the rolling sea of clouds finally calmed down.
The white clouds leaped and surrounded Li Fan, sending him back to the top of the mountain.
He Zhenghao finally breathed a sigh of relief after scanning with his spiritual sense and seeing that there was no miasma in Li Fan's body.
"Congratulations, young man! From now on, all shackles are gone and there is hope for eternal life!" He Zhenghao said enthusiastically.
Feeling that his physical condition has never been better, Li Fan is still adapting to his new body.
Seeing this sudden change in Master He's attitude, he felt a little strange.
Although he has eliminated the immortal-mortal miasma in his body, he has not yet formally practiced cultivation and is, after all, just an ordinary mortal.
Why is he so polite to himself?
Li Fan looked at He Zhenghao with a puzzled look.
He Zhenghao understood what he meant and told him that Li Fan had stayed in the body-purifying spirit pool for eleven days.
"What? I stayed in there for so long?"
Li Fan was really surprised this time.
"Yes, my friend, you don't know that the materials for this formation were almost exhausted. I spent a huge amount of money to add another portion for you..." He Zhenghao took credit for himself.
Li Fan was deeply shocked at this moment.
It was not because of He Zhenghao's "selfless dedication", but because he discovered that there was a new skill on his [Huanzhen] panel.
It was not the "Xuanhuang Qingxin Mantra" that Li Fan had been practicing before.
But it is the "Xuan Huang Heart Refining Mantra".
