Perhaps because he had specifically read the original work, Bu Fan found it relatively easy to locate the sword-shaped brushstrokes in the second stone chamber. However, although he found the brushstrokes, it was extremely difficult to activate them, as Bu Fan's internal energy was too scarce.

Back then, Shi Potian had already accidentally connected the Yan Yan Gong and the Luohan Divine Power when he arrived at the stone chamber. Moreover, Zhang San and Li Si's ice and fire poison wine helped him increase his internal energy! Later, he drank eight bowls of Laba porridge, which further stimulated his internal energy!

Now, Bu Fan, to put it bluntly, was just a naive young man. Compared to Shi Potian, his internal energy was far inferior. Even though he discovered the secret of the sword technique, it was difficult for him to cultivate it.

Unfortunately, Bu Fan had a stubborn personality. At this moment, he forgot his own shortcomings and began to imitate the direction of the sword-shaped brushstrokes on the stone wall, slowly trying to activate them.

In this way, Bu Fan gradually fell into a mysterious state. His mind was empty, with only the sword-shaped brushstrokes in front of him. These brushstrokes slowly came to life in Bu Fan's eyes, gradually forming a continuous pattern. At this point, his internal energy began to flow involuntarily along the direction of the brushstrokes.

"Bu Fan?"

After an unknown amount of time, while Bu Fan was deeply engrossed in cultivation, a surprised voice woke him from his state.

Bu Fan's heart suddenly surged with anger. He had finally entered that state of cultivation, but now he was awakened. It would be extremely difficult to re-enter that state again.

With a dark expression, Bu Fan turned his head, ready to question, but he saw Bu Yanran, veiled, standing at the entrance of the cave, looking at him with surprise.

"Miss!"

At this moment, even though he was filled with anger, Bu Fan could only suppress it. It wasn't because he was a servant of the Bu family, but because of the Bu family's kindness to him.

If it weren't for the approval of the Bu Family Manor's master, even if Bu Fan knew a lot, he wouldn't have been able to come to侠客岛 (the侠客Island).

"Why are you here?" Bu Yanran seemed unaware that she had just ruined a great opportunity for Bu Fan. She walked forward calmly and asked her groom softly.

"Hey, Yanran, is this one of your family members? Why didn't I see this young brother at the porridge banquet?" Behind Bu Yanran, a young man who had come with her looked at Bu Fan and said gently.

"Oh, he didn't attend the porridge banquet. He is a cousin from my family who came with me to see the world!" In front of outsiders, Bu Yanran did not reveal Bu Fan's identity as a groom but claimed he was her cousin.

However, there were always those who were not tactful. After Bu Yanran spoke, someone sneered and said coldly, "A cousin? How come I saw your Miss Bu's cousin driving your carriage on the way to the South Sea? Could it be that your cousin has degraded himself to the point of being your groom?"

Bu Fan turned his head and saw that the speaker was a slick, powdered young man who clearly wasn't a good person, with a look of disgust in his eyes.

"Is there anything wrong with driving the carriage for my cousin? The Bu family's children don't need others to evaluate them! Throughout history, there have been countless people who appear golden on the outside but are rotten inside. I'm sure you are one of them!" Since Bu Yanran had given Bu Fan a face-saving excuse, he naturally wouldn't let her be embarrassed.

"Hmph, kid, I didn't expect you to be so sharp-tongued despite your young age!" Hearing Bu Fan's sarcastic words, the slick, powdered young man's face darkened, and he glared at Bu Fan coldly.

"Qu You, if you're not convinced, we can always have a fair competition. Why bully my cousin just because you're older?" Bu Yanran naturally wouldn't let Bu Fan be bullied for no reason and immediately spoke up to the young man.

"Ha ha, are the disciples of the Kunlun Sect all like this? Losing a competition but still not admitting defeat?" The young gentleman beside Bu Yanran also looked at Qu You and said with a smile, but the mocking tone in his voice was clear to everyone.

"Hmph!"

Qu You let out a cold snort and turned to leave, clearly realizing he was at a disadvantage.

"Brother Bu Fan, it's quite impressive that you managed to enter this stone cave. I heard that the two island masters set up a test for others, and only those who pass can enter the cave. If you have any questions about the annotations on the stone wall, feel free to ask me. I will answer all your questions!" After Qu You left, the young man spoke to Bu Fan gently.

"Thank you, brother! May I ask for your name?" Since the other party was showing goodwill, Bu Fan couldn't ignore it and bowed to ask.

"I am He Mingzhe of the Kunlun Sect. If you ever have the chance to visit Kunlun, I will welcome you with open arms!" He Mingzhe smiled at Bu Fan.

"Alright, Bu Fan, if you have time later, go back and see Grandpa Fu. He is waiting for you!" Bu Yanran interrupted their polite conversation and said to Bu Fan calmly before turning to leave.

Bu Fan understood the meaning behind Bu Yanran's words. Clearly, Grandpa Fu had fetched Laba porridge for him and was waiting in the room.

After some thought, since he couldn't figure out the method, Bu Fan apologized to He Mingzhe and left the stone cave!

When he returned to their small courtyard, Grandpa Fu was indeed waiting for him in the room. Seeing Bu Fan return, Grandpa Fu casually asked, "I heard from Wei Xiao that you passed the侠客Island's test and entered the Tai Xuan Stone Cave?"

"Yes, Grandpa Fu!" Bu Fan didn't deny it and nodded slightly in response.

"Hmm, since you've entered, focus on your cultivation! But don't be too greedy. Remember, the path of martial arts is about fate. When the time is right, your martial arts will naturally improve. Understand?" Grandpa Fu said seriously, meaning that Bu Fan shouldn't be too greedy.

"Thank you for your advice, Grandpa Fu. I understand!" Bu Fan replied respectfully.

"Hmm, here is the Laba porridge I brought back from the banquet for you. Take it and drink it! Remember to immediately practice your martial arts to absorb the medicinal power after drinking it. That way, you will gain the most benefit. Understand?" Grandpa Fu said gently to Bu Fan.

Bu Fan nodded, took the lunch box, and opened it, only to be surprised to find two bowls of steaming Laba porridge inside!

"This Laba porridge is of little benefit to me, so I brought it back for you to share!" Seeing Bu Fan's surprise, Grandpa Fu said calmly.

Bu Fan didn't speak but stood up and bowed respectfully to Grandpa Fu, then held the lunch box and walked out of the room.
