To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

Chapter 72 Seize the Day

Inside the Chenxing Pavilion, Gu Fan stood in front of the bookshelf, staring at the jade slip in front of him.

However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that his eyes were vacant, clearly indicating that he was not focusing his attention on the jade slip.

"Three days...visualize once?"

Zhou Furui's words seemed to still echo in his ears, causing Gu Fan's lips to twitch slightly.

Close your eyes and look into your sea of ​​consciousness. You will see specks of firefly light flickering. About one-tenth of the originally crimson sphere of divine consciousness has been dyed the color of starlight.

For seven days, Gu Fan was in excruciating pain, but the effects were also remarkable.

According to the "Star Observation Method", once the star map drives the divine consciousness and is fully condensed, it is considered to be a complete layer, and one can then visualize a second star map.

"A short pain is worse than a long one!" Gu Fan shook his head and thought to himself with unwavering determination.

Of course, no matter how strong his willpower was, he could not continuously visualize the star chart. After each rotation of the stars, he needed to stop his practice and rest for a long time to relieve the pain in his consciousness.

He was not going to waste this time.

"It's perfect for studying magic." Gu Fan nodded to himself.

After regaining his senses, he looked at the rows of jade slips on the bookshelf and felt a surge of emotion.

He could choose from dozens of bookshelves full of cultivation techniques and spells, an experience he had only ever dreamed of before.

Gu Fan took a deep breath to calm his agitated emotions.

He first went to the bookshelf where fire-attribute spells were stored, picked up a jade slip, and began to examine it without restraint.

"Blazing Divine Power", "Fire Cloud Palm", "Blazing Sun Finger":

Gu Fan looked through the jade slips one by one, quickly comparing and studying them, preparing to select the spells with outstanding features and then carefully comprehend them.

With the mastery of the Flame Spirit Technique, Gu Fan found it much easier to cultivate fire-based spells. After comparing dozens of spells, he discovered that the main difference between these fire-based spells lay in the control of the shape and nature of the flames.

For example, "Fiery Divine Qi" involves creating a layer of fire-attribute qi around the body, which has a larger defensive range than the Fire Shield Technique, but also consumes more mana.

Compared to the Dragon Fire Technique that Gu Fan had already learned, the Fiery Cloud Palm is faster to release and consumes less mana. It focuses more on area damage and can release a palm print of flames that blots out the sky, resembling a fiery cloud at sunset, hence its name.

In contrast, "Blazing Sun Finger" concentrates all its power on a single finger, emphasizing breaking through the surface with a single point.

After selecting several spells, Gu Fan went to the black stone bookshelf and found the inheritances of talisman-making and weapon crafting, and began to read them one by one.

Gu Fan was like a dried-up sponge, absorbing the knowledge in the Star Pavilion with gusto, while also pondering how to transform this knowledge into combat power.

Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past two months, with the help of the Myriad Manifestations Eye, Gu Fan has been studying magic, talismanic arts, and restrictions.

After countless heart-wrenching pains, Gu Fan finally cultivated the "Star Evolution Divine Observation Method" to the first level of perfection.

At this moment, Gu Fan's consciousness had transformed into a shimmering sphere, like a bright moon hanging high in the sky, radiating a pure white, jade-like glow. When unfolded, it transformed into a tranquil night sky.

When Gu Fan calmed his mind and activated the "Star Evolution Divine Observation Technique," seven stars rapidly appeared in the night sky, twinkling as if in the blink of an eye.

But he did not stop meditating, and continued to concentrate until a ray of starlight condensed in the position opposite the seven stars, then a second ray, and a third ray.

According to the jade slip, to reach the second level of cultivation, one must simultaneously activate two star charts, following the principle of Yin and Yang to continuously expand the boundaries of the sea of ​​consciousness, much like opening up new territories. In this process of continuous expansion, the divine consciousness grows.

What he was even more excited about was that, according to Zhou Furui, the pain during cultivation would decrease with each level of advancement in the "Star Evolution Divine Method".

Although a little pain is nothing, who enjoys self-torture?

Gu Fan chuckled to himself, then activated his divine sense to activate the two star maps.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar, as if the earth were shaking, seemed to echo in his ears. Intense pain struck him instantly, and Gu Fan gritted his teeth, his face flushed red.

"It's okay, I can keep going!"

If the pain of the first level of cultivation is like having your brain smashed into powder, then the pain of the second level is like being diced.

Gu Fan frowned and closed his eyes tightly, letting large beads of sweat stream down his forehead, soaking the futon beneath him and forming a puddle on the ground.

After a long while, the two star charts completed a full cycle.

Gu Fan suddenly opened his eyes, his shoulders slumped, and he gasped for breath, supporting himself with his hands on the ground. After his breathing stabilized, he picked up the teapot on the table, drank the slightly bitter tea in one gulp, and then exhaled a long breath.

After resting for a while, he rubbed his throbbing head and took out the jade slip containing the spells from his pocket to study them.

"We must seize every minute," Gu Fan sighed.

Shenji Peak, a quiet room at the heart of the mountain.

Once he had mastered the spells, Gu Fan focused his energy on weapon crafting.

Having mastered the art of fire control and broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining, he was now able to attempt to refine high-grade magic weapons.

At this moment, a row of open jade boxes were placed in front of Gu Fan. Under the firelight, the various spiritual materials emitted a dazzling light, rendering the quiet room colorful.

"Yangyan Iron, Diyan Crystal, Danxia Iron, Chenhuo Jade..."

"7

Gu Fan took a deep breath and checked all the spiritual materials.

Exchanging these spiritual materials cost nearly four hundred merit points, and the merit points gained from repairing the Yuan Chen Array were deducted before they could even be enjoyed.

This is under the condition of exchanging within the sect. If purchased in the market, even six thousand spirit stones might not be enough to gather all the spiritual materials.

Gu Fan had no prior experience in crafting high-grade magical artifacts. If the crafting failed, all the materials would be wasted, so he had no choice but to take it seriously.

Eight dragon-head stone sculptures spewed forth earth-fire, causing the temperature in the quiet room to rise rapidly.

Gu Fan used the Flame Spirit Technique to manipulate the flames into countless strands, which he then used to lift a piece of Yang Flame Iron. He focused intently on refining the weapon.

Half a day later, the Yangyan Iron finally melted. Gu Fan then added the Chenhuo Jade into it until the two merged and turned into a solution that shone with golden light. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Gu Fan had already drawn up a blueprint in his mind for the magical artifact he wanted to refine, and he had even practiced the restrictions involved several times in advance. As the solution slowly stretched into an artifact embryo, Gu Fan took a deep breath and began to circulate the "Artifact Harmony Technique".

His divine sense was released like radar in an instant, sensing the subtle changes within the embryonic vessel.

Using his divine sense as a brush, and aided by his Myriad Manifestations Eye, Gu Fan inscribed runes one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the first layer of restrictions was completed. Gu Fan then proceeded to inscribe the second layer, then the third, the fourth, and so on. Only after inscribing the sixth layer of restrictions did Gu Fan pause for a moment, then gather his energy and focus his mind to begin inscribing the seventh layer of restrictions.

When Gu Fan was refining a high-grade magic weapon for the first time, he wanted to challenge his limits.

He wants to refine a top-grade magic weapon with nine layers of restrictions!
