To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

First, there are spirit stones.

Including the 10,000 spirit stones given by the Bai family, Gu Fan's total number of spirit stones is close to 20,000.

Three thousand spirit stones were donated by Meng Wei and others before the final battle. Gu Fan did not return them, but will return them to everyone later through weapon crafting and talisman drawing.

The remaining five thousand were taken from Bai Ziming's storage bag.

Besides spirit stones, Bai Ziming's storage bag also contained some pills, several jade slips, and various other miscellaneous items, including even a few pieces of women's underwear.

After Gu Fan identified the pills, he put them away, and burned the miscellaneous items.

"Tsk tsk, Bai Ziming really lives a good life in the Bai family." Gu Fan shook his head and sighed.

If we exclude the two high-grade magic artifacts used during the decisive battle, Bai Ziming's wealth, while much greater than that of the disciples of Lingxi Peak, is not particularly rich.

As for the jade slip, Gu Fan destroyed it after a brief examination.

In order to prevent the leakage of cultivation techniques, all disciples of the Lingxiao Sect must have their jade slips copied when exchanging for cultivation techniques. This was one of the tasks that Zhou Furui was responsible for at the Chenxing Pavilion.

Once the original owner views the replicated jade slip, a divine imprint will be left on it. If anyone else tries to view it, the contents of the jade slip will self-destruct.

Due to the restrictions of the Dao Heart Oath, disciples who exchange for cultivation techniques are not allowed to inscribe them on jade slips at will; otherwise, it will be considered as unauthorized dissemination.

As for the encryption method used by Zhou Furui to replicate the jade slip, it was passed down by Ancestor Yunxiao and is even more precious than a top-grade cultivation technique.

In terms of magical artifacts, besides the Sun Wheel, the Earth Flame Wheel, and eight short spears, the only defensive artifact is a golden robe, which was taken from Bai Ziming.

Gu Fan felt slightly unlucky and prepared to reforge the golden robe as a base.

The Sun Wheel and Earth Flame Wheel have been damaged and need to be refined and maintained again to restore them to their original state.

The tortoise shell magic artifact used by Bai Ziming had been damaged by the Heavenly Thunder Talisman. After inspection, it was found that it could not be repaired, so he had no choice but to give up.

The greatest gain from this decisive battle was the talismanic treasure of the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade.

Gu Fan removed the blood-red talisman and held it in his hand.

The texture was not like talisman paper, but rather like some kind of leather. Even without getting close to the nose, one could still smell a bloody odor.

He slowly poured his magic power into it, and after a few breaths, having consumed 30% of his magic power, the blood-red talisman in front of him transformed into a beam of blood-red light, revealing the shape of a blood-red scimitar.

Even with his profound magical power, Gu Fan felt a sense of emptiness after quickly drawing out 30% of his mana.

"If Bai Ziming hadn't used his essence blood to activate it that day, his magic power would probably have been exhausted in no time," Gu Fan thought to himself.

Using essence blood to activate the talisman can not only save preparation time, but also save a lot of magic power. However, the premise is that it will cause a great loss of vital energy or even a decline in cultivation. Therefore, Gu Fan does not intend to use it lightly.

After taking inventory, Gu Fan put everything into his storage bag and took out two jade boxes.

A faint fire elemental aura emanated from the jade box, which contained Crimson Dragon Wood and Flame Stone.

"If we collect another spark of fire from the sky, we can refine the Samadhi True Fire."

......

It was noon on Lingxi Peak.

Gu Fan sat cross-legged in the courtyard, one hand resting on his knees, the other forming a sword incantation.

The so-called "fire in the sky" refers to the fire of the sun. Among the three types of fire that constitute the Samadhi True Fire, it is the easiest to obtain, and there are many ways to collect it.

Some require spiritual objects as a guide, while others require accumulation over time.

After comparing several options, Gu Fan chose the method of gathering Qi recorded in the superior cultivation technique "Great Sun Blazing Flame Technique".

There's no other reason than that this method is the most straightforward and direct.

Simply visualize the sun at noon, when it is high in the sky, and resonate with it to draw down a sliver of its essence.

This essence of sunlight is fire in the sky.

Having prior experience with the "Starry Sky Observation Method," Gu Fan was already familiar with the method of visualization. More importantly, the method of visualization did not require the use of external objects and the gathering of Qi was quite rapid.

Most importantly, the fire in the air must be suppressed the instant it is collected; otherwise, not only will it be impossible to contain, but the person will also be burned.

However, Gu Fan's Flame Spirit Technique was already highly mastered, so suppressing the fire in the air was naturally not a problem.

Time passed second by second.

As the sun rose to its zenith, Gu Fan slowly closed his eyes and, following the instructions in the "Great Sun Blazing Technique," visualized the sun soaring into the sky within his sea of ​​consciousness.

Suddenly, a ray of crimson-gold light appeared in the vast sea of ​​consciousness.

As Gu Fan activated his divine sense, the radiance grew brighter and brighter, like the sun rising above the sea, instantly transforming into a blazing sun.

An endless heat wave hit him, causing Gu Fan to frown.

Even just visualizing it in his mind made him feel unbearably hot.

Just then, from the heavens above, an invisible aura drifted down from the sun. Gu Fan used the Flame Spirit Technique while guiding the fire in the air to fall onto his sword finger.

As soon as the invisible energy completely settled, Gu Fan immediately stopped his visualization, and the great sun in his mind vanished instantly.

The air above the sword finger twisted and leaped, and a scorching heat containing both life and destruction spread out.

Looking at the fire in the air at his fingertips, Gu Fan once again acknowledged his initial choice.

The heat was unbearable even just touching the fingertips, and to cultivate the "Great Sun Blazing Flame Technique," one must refine it within the body during the breakthrough stage, which shows how dangerous the process is.

When Gu Fan was examining the cultivation technique, he consulted Zhou Furui and learned that within the past hundred years, only one person in the Lingxiao Sect had achieved Foundation Establishment using the "Great Sun Blazing Flame Technique".

Of the remaining cultivators, three out of ten were unable to comprehend the Dao texts and could not even enter the path; three others died from their internal organs being burned by the fire in the air; and most of the rest suffered burns to their meridians and Dao foundations, and were stuck at the Qi Refining stage for life.

This is the difficulty of cultivating superior-grade techniques. Currently, the Lingxiao Sect has fewer than ten outer disciples who cultivate superior-grade techniques, including Gu Fan.

Coincidentally, he knew Gu Fan, the only successful person in the last hundred years.

It was Li Kunyuan.

......

To refine the Samadhi True Fire, one must combine the fire in the air, the fire in the wood, and the fire in the stone into one.

Fire in the air possesses both life and destruction, while fire in wood is born from life. Therefore, the two must first be fused together before the fire in wood can be refined.

The key points involved are well-documented in the Lingxiao Sect, and Gu Fan had already thoroughly researched them. He had also examined the refining techniques multiple times using his Myriad Manifestations Dharma Eye.

Thanks to the purple ring bestowed upon him by the immortal Xuanji, he no longer needed to exert himself to earn merit.

Gu Fan controlled the fire in the air to float in front of him, continuously pouring in magical power to make it expand.

Once the fire had spread three feet high, they took out the red dragon wood and threw it into the flames.

When the Crimson Dragon Wood fell into the invisible fire, it immediately burst into a ball of crimson flames. The outer wood was burned away, and the crimson fire contained within flowed out.

Gu Fan focused intently on controlling the flames, using the fire in the air to surround the crimson fire energy, preventing the fire in the wood from escaping. Then, he used his divine sense to probe into it, urging the two to slowly merge.

Half an hour later, a flame like the sunset appeared in front of Gu Fan.

Next, Gu Fan took out the Flame Stone and threw it into the flames.

As the flames scorched the stone, its hard outer shell turned into lava and dripped onto the ground with a sizzling sound.

The golden fire in the stone danced lightly, like a dancer draped in the sunset.

Two hours later.

As the flame in his hand transformed into a crimson glow, a smile finally appeared on Gu Fan's tense face.

Samadhi Fire, complete!
