Chapter 514: Chapter 486: Learn from Kunpeng
Li Fan, having reincarnated a hundred times, wielded divine techniques beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators.
Word Confusion Technique, Serenity Blade, Sky Flipping Palm, Mist Blade…
Each one was capable of defeating enemies above their level.
Li Fan generally ignored the divine techniques of ordinary demonic beasts. However, the Nine-Headed Bird was clearly an exception.
Li Fan had a hunch that the rank of this nine-headed beast was even higher than that of Kunpeng.
“Let’s see what surprises this young man, Ye Feipeng, can bring me.”
Once the bloodlust of the Nine-Headed Bird was tested, he withdrew Kunpeng’s essence blood from his storage ring.
Extracting a sliver of essence blood from Ye Feipeng’s body periodically, he used it for insight generation.
Li Fan’s current research on the power of Kunpeng was beginning to yield some results.
While practicing “The Myriad Phenomena Technique of the Crucible,” Li Fan maintained his human appearance. Except, his stomach had silently transformed into the structure of the Kunpeng, an exotic beast.
Having experienced the usefulness of a Kunpeng-stomach, Li Fan smiled slightly. He took out several top-grade spirit stones, each equivalent to a hundred contribution points, and swallowed them.
Almost instantly, those spirit stones with extremely high spiritual energy content were absorbed by Li Fan.
The efficiency was several times higher than that of ordinary cultivators.
Although it couldn’t compare to the craziness of the “Heaven-Earth Swallowing Technique,” it was still shocking.
“No wonder the speed of Ye Feipeng’s cultivation accelerated in the last life. Such an unusual ability is indeed not to be underestimated.”
While circulating with Mountain Sitting Technique, once the spiritual energy was all transformed into his own spiritual power, Li Fan, to determine the current upper limit of [Devouring Kun] divine technique, took out a pile of top-grade spirit stones.
One piece was equivalent to a thousand contribution points, and this pile amounted to fifty to sixty thousand contribution points.
Li Fan didn’t hesitate and swallowed them all at once. It was like a river flowing into the sea as he gulped down the pile of spirit stones.
“Boom!”
Pure spiritual energy erupted from his stomach.
Li Fan’s expression changed slightly as he exerted all his strength to circulate his Techniques, trying to consume the energy.
The spiritual energy flowed like a raging flood, incessantly pouring out.
Li Fan’s attempt to consume it was just a drop in the bucket.
Fortunately, practicing “The Creation and Transformation Furnace Technique” enhanced Li Fan’s physical constitution, ensuring his veins weren’t injured by this tremendous stream of spiritual energy.
But letting it rampage within his body was not a solution.
To avoid drawing attention, Li Fan split his body and went to Tianyang’s side. He transformed all the spiritual energy in his body which was on the verge of losing control into the Blue Cloud Gathering Sword and slashed towards the puppet’s body.
After a slew of sword slashes, the rampaging spiritual energy was finally exhausted and gradually subsided.
However, the seemingly powerful sword light didn’t leave even a minor trace on Tianyang after hitting him.
Tianyang cocked his head, looking puzzled at his “senior brother.”
He thought Li Fan wanted to spar with him and raised his fist.
“Hehe, little junior brother, don’t misunderstand. The senior brother just had a small mishap while cultivating.” Li Fan laughed and gestured, stopping Tianyang’s movement.
Tianyang then wore a worried expression on his face.
After pacifying Tianyang for a while, Li Fan returned to the secret room.
“Although I’ve mimicked the stomach of a Kunpeng, and attained its startling speed of devouring, a cultivator’s body, after all, can’t be compared to an ancient demonic beast.”
“It seems it is unable to convert the absorbed energy into a powerful nourishment for itself in time.”
“However, if it is cross-referenced with the ‘Heaven-Earth Swallowing Technique’…”
Li Fan’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately had an idea.
Improving techniques isn’t a matter accomplished in a day. After Taoist Divine One Secret Technique was divided into a mindful path, it was solely responsible for the subsequently evolving matters.
Li Fan then tried out the Divine Technique of Peng Fei.
There were no anomalies this time, just Li Fan ceaselessly shifting in the secret room’s small space.
The speed increased rapidly until he practically became a blur in the air.
Surpassing what the naked eye could discern.
After a while, Li Fan was finally satisfied and stopped the test.
“Good, the Peng Fei technique, combined with the incomplete Violet Firmament Divine Thunder Jitsu, increased the speed of flight by more than double,” he remarked.
“In the future, as I deepen my research on the Kunpeng Essence Blood, it will become quicker,” he mused.
But Li Fan didn’t experiment with the Astonishing Falcon Array Divine Technique next.
He decided to keep a healthy distance from this particular technique, which required complete transformation into the form of a demonic beast.
It might be powerful, but if it accidentally activates senior brother Zhang’s realm of wishes, that would be a cause for tears.
Actually, among the many divine techniques displayed by Ye Feipeng in his previous life, the one Li Fan was most interested in was the existence of the Bloodline Transition Rite.
From Ye Feipeng’s subsequent performance, it’s clear that the Bloodline Transition Rite can not only alter one’s constitution.
While slowly transforming a person into a pure demonic beast, it could also imperceptibly change a person’s mindset.
The transition from “demonic beast” to “sacred beast” in Ye Feipeng’s words illustrated this point well.
It’s not hard to imagine that Ye Feipeng, influenced by the Kunpeng Essence Blood, would surely show deep-rooted “loyalty” if he came across the demonic beast Kunpeng himself.
And now, this is what Li Fan lacks, a method of controlling people.
Currently, he can only persuade and intimidate people with the advantage of his prior knowledge and information.
Though the effect isn’t bad, there are inevitably occasional slip-ups. A secret technique like this is more reliable and reassuring.
“Bloodline Transition, I’m afraid I’ll have to wait until the Kunpeng bloodline in Ye Feipeng is pure enough to perceive it conveniently.”
“Well, time to buy more replenishing Qi and blood elixirs,” he mused.
After handing over the remaining elixirs in the storage ring and the regular blood extraction task to Tianyang, Li Fan leisurely returned to the Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
He didn’t return to the Tianxuan Mirror, but went straight to the Thousand Miles Hall.
Nearly two years had passed, and there was still no reply to Jiao Xiuyuan’s task of digging for the Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron.
Li Fan found it strange, so he personally showed up.
Jiao Xiuyuan was taken aback when he saw that Li Fan had suddenly appeared.
His eyes flickered, and he looked slightly embarrassed.
“Brother Jiao, have you forgotten something?” Li Fan asked.
Jiao Xiuyuan chuckled and quickly pulled out a chair from somewhere, gesturing for Li Fan to sit.
“What happened?” Seeing Jiao Xiuyuan’s response, Li Fan knew something was up.
He did not hurry but stared at Jiao Xiuyuan for a long time before he spoke.
Jiao Xiuyuan felt uncomfortable under Li Fan’s gaze. Closing the shop door, he lowered his voice and said: “It’s not that I’m avoiding you intentionally, it’s just that I’m really in a bind!”
“Given your abilities, Brother Jiao, surely there can’t be anything in the Medicine King Sect’s relics that would stump you,” Li Fan found it hard to believe.
“After thousands of years, whatever prohibitions should have been invalidated,” Jiao Xiuyuan shook his head and said: “The problem is, I’ve been cut off by someone else!”
“Hmm? What do you mean?” Li Fan looked serious.
An unknown variable had emerged yet again.
“Just when I was about to locate the Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron, people from the Defense Institute of Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance suddenly appeared.”
