His biological age limit had broken through the century mark and was still rising.

What delighted Li Fan even more was that his psychological age limit had almost doubled, reaching over two thousand years!

It was impossible for the Lingchi Pool alone to have such an effect.

Was it because of the mysterious Xuanhuang Heart Cultivation Spell...

Li Fan was also puzzled as to why the Xuanhuang Heart Purification Spell had turned into the Heart Cultivation Spell.

In the Lingchi Pool, he had almost lost consciousness due to the unbearable pain.

He was unclear about what happened afterward.

However, this was not the time for a thorough examination. Li Fan steadied his mind and bowed to He Zhenghao, saying, "I will never forget the grace of the Immortal Master. I will surely repay you in the future."

He Zhenghao had been waiting for these words, so his tone became even more amiable: "What are you talking about, young friend? The path of immortality is arduous, and I will do my best to help you."

He took out a book and handed it to Li Fan: "After removing the miasma, you need to feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and guide it into your body. If you can condense the first thread of spiritual energy within your body, it means you have entered the Qi Condensation stage, and you can then be officially called a cultivator. This book, 'Five Spirits Sensing Qi Method,' is a summary of the experiences of predecessors in sensing spiritual energy. You need to study it carefully."

He then took out a square talisman and solemnly handed it to Li Fan: "This is the Dust-Excluding Talisman. Before guiding the spiritual energy into your body, you need to carry it with you."

Seeing Li Fan put these two items away, He Zhenghao explained: "Although you have removed the miasma from your body, it is not a permanent solution. You still live in the secular world and need to interact with mortals daily. Over time, you will inevitably be reinfected with miasma. This Dust-Excluding Talisman can help you resist the miasma, but it can only last for about five years."

"However, with your talent, breaking through to the Qi Condensation stage within five years should not be difficult," He Zhenghao said with a smile.

"After breaking through to the Qi Condensation stage, you can come to the island to find me. At that time, I will lead you to the Wanshen Alliance's base in the Congyun Sea, Wanshen Island. Once you are on the island, you can choose the appropriate cultivation techniques to continue your practice."

He Zhenghao detailed the precautions for guiding the spiritual energy into the body to Li Fan.

Li Fan memorized them carefully.

After all the necessary instructions were given, Li Fan tactfully took his leave.

"I hope this will be fruitful."

Watching Li Fan's retreating back, He Zhenghao muttered to himself.

Then He Zhenghao looked at the mountain peak beneath his feet and shook his head: "The potential is exhausted; it's time to change the mountain."

With that, he flew above the sea of clouds, and with a wave of his sleeve, he gathered all the rolling clouds into his sleeve.

Looking at the continuous mountain range below, He Zhenghao selected the mountain peak that would grow the most in the next century.

The cultivation technique He Zhenghao practiced was called the 'Mountain Sitting Technique.'

The greatest feature of the 'Mountain Sitting Technique' was to enjoy the benefits of sitting on a mountain.

Select a mountain peak, sit on it, and practice the technique. After several years, you can harmonize your aura with the mountain.

Thereafter, for every inch the mountain grows, your cultivation will be nourished and enhanced accordingly.

Conversely, if you misjudge and the mountain does not grow, it would be equivalent to wasting several years of cultivation.

In addition to benefiting from the growth of the mountain, you can also benefit from helping others.

For example, by helping Li Fan, if Li Fan can break through to the Qi Condensation stage in the future, he will receive feedback, enhancing his own cultivation.

It is not about stealing the other person's cultivation, but more like when one person attains enlightenment, all the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

The growth of the mountain will bring the trees on it to grow; the growth of a giant will also lift the things in his sleeve.

Of course, compared to the mountains, helping others is less restrictive. You don't need to bind yourself to one person; you can cast a wide net. However, the amount of effort you put in initially will determine the size of the harvest in the future.

Therefore, whenever he met a promising junior, He Zhenghao would never hesitate to help them.

...

After leaving the central array of Liuli Island, Li Fan quietly returned to Tingyou Tower without disturbing anyone.

After removing the miasma, Li Fan indeed felt a significant difference from before.

It was as if he had become ten years younger, with his vision and hearing greatly improved.

He could faintly sense the pure energy flowing through the universe.

Is this spiritual energy...

Li Fan was delighted.

After guiding the spiritual energy into the body, one becomes a Qi Condensation stage cultivator.

Li Fan was eager to practice day and night.

However, before that, he needed to examine the mysterious 'Xuanhuang Heart Cultivation Spell.'

After searching his mind, he found no new method of practice.

So Li Fan started practicing according to the method of the 'Xuanhuang Heart Purification Spell.'

As soon as he began, Li Fan noticed the difference between the Heart Cultivation Spell and the Heart Purification Spell.

Previously, practicing the Heart Purification Spell often required half an hour to slowly calm his mind and remove all other thoughts.

But with the Heart Cultivation Spell, after a short while, Li Fan felt his mind become as clear as a mirror.

It was as if a huge millstone had appeared in his mind, continuously absorbing and crushing distracting thoughts, turning them into nourishment to strengthen his spirit.

After practicing the Heart Purification Spell for three years, Li Fan had not noticed any other benefits besides the improvements shown on the [Reality] status panel.

But with the Heart Cultivation Spell, Li Fan could clearly feel his spirit strengthening at every moment.

Although the increase was very small, it was indeed growing!

Li Fan was pleasantly surprised, but also filled with countless doubts.

Why did the 'Xuanhuang Heart Purification Spell,' which is commonly found in the cultivation world and used only to remove miasma, turn into the extraordinary 'Xuanhuang Heart Cultivation Spell' in his body?

Cultivation techniques cannot be practiced simultaneously. Does the Heart Cultivation Spell count as a cultivation technique?

Based on his current understanding of the cultivation world, Li Fan could not find an answer.

But Li Fan had a hunch that there must be a great secret hidden in this.

He would definitely investigate it in the future.

...

Just one step away from entering the realm of cultivators, and having obtained the miraculous 'Xuanhuang Heart Cultivation Spell,' Li Fan felt a bit elated.

However, not long after, he received a letter.

The news in the letter shattered his self-satisfaction.

Xiao Heng had successfully guided the spiritual energy into his body and had already gone to Wanshen Island.
