Chapter 47

Li Fan was a bit surprised. He had just arrived on this Ten Thousand Immortals Island not long ago, and someone was already sending him a video transmission? After opening it, a somewhat familiar figure appeared.

It was Xiao Heng.

At this moment, he looked almost like a different person compared to four or five years ago.

Wearing a white robe, his long hair flowing, he exuded a sense of detachment.

"Brother Li, you're finally here," Xiao Heng said with a smile.

"When I was on the Liuli Island before, I was greatly indebted to your care. I've always been unable to repay it. I left abruptly when I broke through to the Qi Condensation stage that day, and I felt even more guilty."

"Upon arriving on this Ten Thousand Immortals Island, I learned that it's difficult to find cultivation techniques in the current cultivation world. Especially for new members who have just joined the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, it often takes one or two years to accumulate enough contributions to exchange for Qi Condensation stage cultivation techniques."

"That was the case for me back then. Fortunately, as your strength grows, the ways to gain contribution points will also increase, and the situation will gradually improve."

"Since I started cultivating, I've had many adventures. A year ago, I just broke through to the late Qi Condensation stage, and now I've encountered a bottleneck again. I intend to go to the central region of the Cong Yun Sea, where the remnants of the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace lie, to find Heavenly Treasures and achieve Foundation Establishment. These treasures are hard to find. If I go, it may be several years before I can return."

"Before leaving, I left a water-attributed cultivation technique for you. Ten Thousand Immortals Island is located in the Cong Yun Sea, where the water element is the strongest. Cultivating water-attributed techniques here is the easiest, and their power is quite impressive. Brother Li, remember to cultivate diligently, and it's best not to rashly leave the island before reaching the middle Qi Condensation stage."

"When I return, we must have a good drink together!"

Xiao Heng's figure gradually disappeared, leaving behind a jade slip.

"Minor Yan Water Technique, a Qi Condensation stage cultivation technique, current number of practitioners: 0."

Li Fan checked and saw that the Minor Yan Water Technique given by Xiao Heng only had the part up to the middle Qi Condensation stage and was not complete.

Even so, the Tianxuan Mirror still required 800 contribution points to exchange for it.

"This kid..." Li Fan felt a warmth in his heart.

When it came down to it, Li Fan hadn't done much for Xiao Heng.

Back then, he just buried Su Changyu and helped him find a slightly better place to stay on Liuli Island.

He also provided the correct information about the Starry Sea Quicksand to Li Fan.

But Xiao Heng had always kept this small favor in his heart, even though his realm of cultivation had far surpassed Li Fan's now.

Looking at it this way, Xiao Heng's character was indeed quite good.

Of course, perhaps part of it was because Xiao Heng thought they were both people from the Land of Immortal Extinction.

Regardless, Li Fan made a mental note of this matter.

He, Li Fan, wasn't one to forget kindness.

Along with the Minor Yan Water Technique, another small jade slip appeared.

It was the Tai Shang Primordial Scripture, something that Li Fan had heard Kou Hong mention a long time ago.

Practicing this technique allowed one to easily dissipate their cultivation and lose minimal progress, making it a must-learn for every cultivator in today's cultivation world.

With both the Minor Yan Water Technique and the 'Jade Cosmos Thousand Variations Sutra' in his possession, supplemented by the 'Tai Shang Primordial Scripture', Li Fan quickly made a decision.

Outwardly, he would cultivate the Minor Yan Water Technique to deceive others, while secretly practicing the 'Jade Cosmos Thousand Variations Sutra'.

Of course, it would be best to find a reason to leave Ten Thousand Immortals Island before practicing the 'Jade Cosmos Thousand Variations Sutra'. Although the Tianxuan Mirror might not pay attention to a small Qi Condensation stage cultivator like Li Fan, it was always wise to be careful.

Li Fan had just entered the cultivation world and was ignorant of many things.

He needed to catch up and learn a lot.

Thankfully, all the information related to common knowledge was freely available in the Tianxuan Mirror.

So for several days, Li Fan stayed in the Tianxuan Mirror, eagerly reading the relevant information.

'Atlas of the Cong Yun Sea' described in detail the geography, special products, and history of the various islands in the Cong Yun Sea.

'Treaties for Cultivation' explained some of the things that needed attention before officially practicing a technique after entering the Qi Condensation stage. This included the basic use of spiritual consciousness and manipulation of spiritual energy.

'Techniques, Wealth, Partners, and Homes' introduced the four essential elements for cultivation: cultivation techniques, wealth, spiritual companions, and cultivation abodes. It particularly emphasizes the scarcity and importance of cultivation techniques in today's cultivation world. It sternly warns young cultivators not to casually disclose their cultivation techniques to others, as it could lead to unimaginable calamities.

'Ancient Secrets of Cultivation' narrates, in the first person, the story of an outer disciple of the Great Dao Sect, explaining how they went through various trials to become an inner disciple, core disciple, elder, and ultimately the sect master.

'Tianxuan Mirror Shopping Guide' lists several items worth prioritizing for exchange within the Tianxuan Mirror for cultivators. For example, storage rings, protective garments, and more.

Li Fan spent seven or eight days reading all these free books.

Next, he was eager to read books like 'Theory of Formations', 'Introduction to Alchemy', 'Basics of Artifact Refining', 'Treasure Guide of the Cultivation World', but they required a large number of contribution points for exchange.

Li Fan was new and a bit tight on funds, so he had to wait for a while before he could get them.

Taking advantage of the remaining free stay time in the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan began to practice the Minor Yan Water Technique.

He already knew the benefits of cultivating in the Tianxuan Mirror.

By spending contribution points, he could activate the auxiliary cultivation mode in the Tianxuan Mirror.

In this mode, the density of spiritual energy in the Tianxuan Mirror would increase several times compared to the outside world, almost comparable to top-tier sanctuaries. Moreover, it could be converted into an endless amount of the corresponding attribute of spiritual energy needed by the cultivator, allowing the cultivator to practice without worrying about insufficient spiritual energy.

Furthermore, the Tianxuan Mirror would grant the cultivators who practiced inside the mirror an enlightenment state. In this state, their comprehension ability would greatly increase, making it easier for them to practice cultivation techniques.

Spending 10 contribution points, Li Fan exchanged for a day of auxiliary cultivation.

With a large influx of spiritual energy, Li Fan started practicing according to the Minor Yan Water Technique.

Soon, he felt the enhancement of his cultivation speed brought about by the Tianxuan Mirror.

The spiritual energy seemed to be compressed and accelerated, spontaneously converging into Li Fan's body.

The cryptic and profound sentences in the Minor Yan Water Technique became clear to him at first sight, and he instantly knew how to practice it.

The spiritual energy followed the initial path of the cultivation technique and seemed as if it had been circulating smoothly countless times before, incredibly smooth.

This "super cultivation state" almost made Li Fan feel as if he was a natural genius.

Practicing had become a kind of enjoyment.

Li Fan immersed himself in it and couldn't extricate himself.

A day passed quickly.

When the time was up, Li Fan suddenly retreated from that incredibly smooth cultivation state.

When he started practicing again, he deeply felt the difference.

The speed of cultivation under the auxiliary cultivation mode was more than thirty times faster than when he practiced on his own!

This profound difference made Li Fan almost unable to resist exchanging for another day.

But looking at the remaining 10 contribution points, Li Fan forced himself to endure it.

"Such a treasure, it should belong to me."

Greed suddenly surged in Li Fan's heart.
