Chapter 41: Sit back and enjoy the fruits of others’ labor
After removing the miasma from his body, Li Fan's panel underwent tremendous changes.
Name: Li Fan

Physiological age: 42/120↑
Mental age: 505/2053↑

Anchor Charge Progress: 51%
Current number of anchor points: 1

The upper limit of physiological age has exceeded 100, and is showing a rising trend for the time being.
What surprised Li Fan even more was that the upper limit of his psychological age had almost doubled to more than two thousand years!
It is impossible to achieve such an effect just by relying on the body-purifying spirit pool.
Is it because of this inexplicable appearance of the "Xuan Huang Refining Heart Mantra"...
Li Fan himself was also confused as to why the Xuanhuang Qingxin Mantra became the Lianxin Mantra.
He was in the cleansing pool, and he almost lost consciousness because he couldn't bear the severe pain.
It is unclear what happened next.
But this was not the time to take a closer look. Li Fan calmed down, bowed to He Zhenghao and said, "Master, I will never forget your kindness. I will repay you handsomely one day."
He Zhenghao was waiting for Li Fan to say this, so his tone became more friendly: "What are you talking about, my friend? The immortal path is difficult, and I will do my best to help if I can."
He took out a book and handed it to Li Fan: "After removing the miasma, you will need to feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and draw it into your body. If you can condense the first trace of spiritual energy in your body, it means you have entered the Qi Refining Stage. At this point, you can be officially called an immortal cultivator. This book, The Five Spirits Qi Sensing Method, is a summary of the experience of our predecessors in sensing spiritual energy. You need to study it carefully."
He then took out a square spiritual talisman and handed it to Li Fan solemnly: "This is the Lichen Talisman. You need to carry it with you before you draw the Qi into your body."
Seeing Li Fan put away the two things, He Zhenghao explained: "Although you have eliminated the miasma, it is not a permanent solution. You still live in the secular world and need to interact with mortals every day. Over time, you will inevitably be infected with miasma again. This Lichen Talisman can help you isolate the miasma, but it is difficult to sustain and can only last for about five years."
“However, with your talent, it should not be difficult for you to break through to the Qi Refining Stage within five years.” He Zhenghao said with a smile.
"After you break through to the Qi Refining Stage, you can come to the island to find me. I will then lead you to the Wanxian Island, the base of our Wanxian League in this sea of clouds. Once you arrive on the island, you can choose the corresponding technique and continue to practice."
He Zhenghao informed Li Fan in detail some precautions to take when drawing qi into the body.
Li Fan also kept it firmly in his mind.
After explaining all the relevant matters, Li Fan tactfully said goodbye and left.
“I hope we can gain something from this.”
Looking at Li Fan's receding back, He Zhenghao muttered to himself.
Then He Zhenghao looked at the mountain below him and shook his head: "It has exhausted its potential. It's time to change mountains."
After saying that, he flew over the sea of clouds, waved his long sleeves, and gathered all the rolling clouds into his sleeves.
Looking at the mountains below, He Zhenghao selected the highest peak that would grow in the next hundred years.
The martial arts practiced by He Zhenghao is called "Zuoshan Jue".
The most significant feature of "Zuoshan Jue" is to sit on the mountain and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Pick a mountain, sit on it, practice the skills, and after several years, you will be able to merge your own aura with that of the mountain.
From then on, every time the mountain rises a point higher, one's cultivation will be fed back and improved accordingly.
On the contrary, if one makes a mistake and the height of the mountain does not increase afterwards, it would be equivalent to wasting more than ten years of practice time.
In addition to the benefits you can gain from increasing the mountain, you can also gain benefits from helping others.
For example, just like this help to Li Fan, if Li Fan can break through to the Qi Refining Stage in the future, he will receive feedback in the dark and increase his own cultivation.
It is not about absorbing or stealing the other party's cultivation, but more like when one person succeeds, everyone around him will benefit.
As the mountains grow taller, the trees on them will grow taller too; as giants grow, they will also carry the things in their sleeves with them.
Of course, compared with mountains and rivers, the conditions for helping others are not as harsh. You don't have to bind one person, and you can cast a wide net. But correspondingly, how much you pay at the beginning will determine how much you will gain in the future.
So when he meets promising juniors, He Zhenghao is never reluctant to help them.
…
After leaving the central magic circle of Liuli Island, Li Fan did not alarm others and quietly returned to Tingyou Tower.
After getting rid of the miasma, Li Fan indeed felt something very different from before.
It's like I'm a dozen years younger, my eyesight and hearing have improved a lot.
You can also vaguely feel the pure energy flowing through the heaven and earth and everywhere.
Is this the spirit?
Li Fan was happy.
After drawing the Qi into the body, one becomes a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage.
Li Fan wished he could practice day and night.
But before that, you still need to check out the "Xuan Huang Lian Xin Mantra" that appeared inexplicably.
I searched my mind, but no new way of operating came up.
So Li Fan started practicing according to the method of "Xuanhuang Qingxin Mantra".
As soon as they were running, Li Fan noticed the difference between the Heart Refining Mantra and the Heart Purifying Mantra.
In the past, practicing the Heart Purification Mantra often took nearly half an hour before I could slowly calm down and eliminate all other distracting thoughts from my mind.
But once this heart-refining mantra was performed, in just a moment, Li Fan felt his mind as clear as a mirror.
It was as if a huge millstone appeared in my brain, constantly absorbing and crushing distracting thoughts, turning them into nutrients that strengthened my mind.
After practicing the Qingxin Mantra for three years, Li Fan did not find any other benefits except that it was reflected on the [Huanzhen] panel.
But by practicing the Heart Refining Mantra, Li Fan could clearly feel his spirit strengthening every moment.
Although the growth rate is very small, it is indeed growing!
Li Fan was inexplicably surprised, but then came countless doubts.
Why is it that the "Xuanhuang Qingxin Mantra", which can be seen everywhere in the world of immortal cultivation and is only used to remove miasma, would turn into the extremely magical "Xuanhuang Lianxin Mantra" on himself?
Immortal techniques cannot be practiced together, so can this Heart Refining Mantra be considered a method of cultivating immortals?
Based on his current understanding of the world of immortal cultivation, Li Fan was unable to come up with an answer.
But Li Fan vaguely felt that there must be a huge secret hidden in this.
I will definitely investigate secretly when I get the chance in the future.
Li Fan thought to himself.
…
He was just one step away from becoming an immortal cultivator, and fortunately, he obtained the magical skill "Xuan Huang Lian Xin Mantra".
Li Fan couldn't help feeling a little elated.
However, not long after, he received a letter.
The news in the letter shattered all the complacency in his heart.
Xiao Heng successfully drew the energy into his body and headed to Wanxian Island.
