Chapter 67

Third: If you want to explore the eerie, gather as many people as possible.

The most effective way to figure out the rules of the eerie is to use as many lives as possible.

Believe in yourself; you definitely won't be the first to die!

...

Li Fan carefully read through the "Survival Guide for Sect Relics" and felt that the 100 contribution points were well spent.

With this experience, he would be more confident when exploring the Yunshuitian Palace two years later.

In his previous life, after Sikong Yi found the "Yunshui Map" in the Yunshuitian Palace and obtained 100,000 contribution points, the news spread.

This ignited the enthusiasm of the Congyunhai cultivators for exploring the Yunshuitian Palace.

Although the "Yunshui Map" had already been taken, ...

The Yunshuitian Palace is so vast; there must be more treasures inside than just the "Yunshui Map," right?

With this thought, the Congyunhai cultivators rushed to the Yunshuitian Palace one after another, regardless of life and death.

Even cultivators from distant continents came out of admiration.

Their thoughts were indeed correct.

In his previous life, even until the 27th year of anchoring, the year Li Fan reached the Qi Condensation stage, the Yunshuitian Palace had not been fully explored.

News of cultivators obtaining treasures from it would occasionally spread, envied by all.

And because so many people continuously explored it, most of the rules of the eerie in the Yunshuitian Palace were no longer secrets.

Li Fan had heard about this in his previous life.

However, ...

The exact method by which Sikong Yi obtained the "Yunshui Map" in his previous life was always a subject of debate, with no definitive conclusion.

Therefore, the best way for Li Fan to obtain the "Yunshui Map" in this life is to secretly follow Sikong Yi and intercept it just before he gets it.

There are still two years until the Yunshuitian Palace opens, so he can first secretly gather information about Sikong Yi to know his enemy as well as himself.

At the same time, he must try to improve his own strength as much as possible.

Li Fan focused his gaze on a pile of Qi Condensation stage cultivation techniques in the Tianxuan Mirror.

The price of cultivation techniques for killing and subjugation is much higher than that of ordinary techniques.

The "Xiao Yan Shui Jue" that Li Fan had previously cultivated only cost 1200 contribution points.

The price of killing and subjugation techniques is generally around 1500 points.

Li Fan quickly browsed through the descriptions of the techniques, selecting those suitable for him.

"Flowing Water Sword Technique," "Xiao Gang Feng Sword," "Red Meteor"...

Suddenly, Li Fan's gaze stopped on one technique.

"The Mysterious Spirit Illusion Technique."

After carefully reading the description several times, Li Fan was moved.

According to the description, this is a technique that focuses on illusions.

It involves cultivating an "illusion spirit" in the mind, which can be released to confuse enemies when encountered.

When the illusion spirit becomes powerful, it can even enter the mind of others and launch a mental attack.

This technique seemed tailor-made for him!

Although he didn't know how his mental strength compared to other cultivators, after hundreds of years of reincarnation and the enhancement of the Xuanhuang Heart Cultivation Spell, it should not be weak.

Moreover, cultivating an "illusion spirit" through visualization.

A red figure inexplicably appeared in Li Fan's mind.

If he visualized the red flame as the prototype, the resulting "illusion spirit" should be quite powerful.

Li Fan pondered this and decided to buy this technique.

But the price...

Li Fan's eyes twitched when he saw it.

2500 points!

Almost the same price as a slightly inferior Foundation Establishment technique!

No wonder this technique, though powerful, remained unclaimed.

Actually, this was a misunderstanding on Li Fan's part.

The "Mysterious Spirit Illusion Technique" is so expensive because illusion techniques are relatively rare, not because it is particularly strong.

In the current cultivation world, the mental strength of most cultivators is roughly the same.

After all, before the great calamity, techniques for enhancing mental strength were relatively rare.

Not to mention that now, cultivation of immortal techniques is not allowed.

Without methods to enhance mental strength, most cultivators' mental strength is at the same level.

In this situation, few would choose to attack others with their mental strength.

Because it often means mutual destruction.

This is why the "Mysterious Spirit Illusion Technique" is considered a bit of a dead weight by other cultivators.

No matter how you look at it, it's just an illusion technique.

It's a method of using mental strength, not enhancing it.

Mental attacks are not used lightly, and who would be willing to spend 2500 contribution points just for a bit of illusion?

Because Li Fan possesses the Xuanhuang Heart Cultivation Spell and has personally seen the red flame, his mental strength is well-suited for cultivating the "illusion spirit."

Therefore, the "Mysterious Spirit Illusion Technique" can achieve multiple times the effect in his hands.

Regardless, Li Fan gritted his teeth and bought the "Mysterious Spirit Illusion Technique."

In a blink, his contribution points were reduced to 1321.

Contribution points come quickly, but they go even faster!

He originally wanted to buy another escape technique, but he didn't have enough, so he would have to wait.

The most urgent task now is to cultivate the "Mysterious Spirit Illusion Technique" to the late Qi Condensation stage.

With the Tianxuan Mirror's auxiliary cultivation mode activated and the Linglong Liuli Pearl by his side, Li Fan began his cultivation.

His mind was as clear as a mirror, and the profound technique text, with the double enhancement, became as easy to understand as elementary school textbooks.

The pure cultivation energy from the "Xiao Yan Shui Jue" in his dantian became nutrients, propelling the cultivation progress of the "Mysterious Spirit Illusion Technique" to skyrocket.

In less than a day, the "Mysterious Spirit Illusion Technique" was cultivated to the mid Qi Condensation stage.

At the mid Qi Condensation stage, he could visualize the "illusion spirit" in his mind.

Although it is an illusion spirit, the visualized object cannot be created out of thin air.

It must be based on something that truly exists in the cultivation world.

His thoughts flowed slowly, and scenes from the past appeared before his eyes.

Li Fan seemed to return to the moment in his previous life when he witnessed the red flame burning the sea.

A faint shadow slowly formed in Li Fan's mind.

Just this unformed shadow made Li Fan suddenly feel a sharp increase in his body temperature.

Sweat poured down his body like rain.

Li Fan frowned, forcibly activating the Heart Cultivation Spell to suppress the heat.

He continued to visualize the red flame.

As the red flame illusion spirit gradually took shape, Li Fan's body temperature continued to rise.

If before he was in a desert under the scorching sun, now he felt as if he were being roasted by a raging fire.

As Li Fan continued to visualize, the heat became increasingly terrifying.

Finally, when the temperature reached its limit, the clothes on Li Fan's body spontaneously combusted.

"Phew!"

He could no longer maintain the visualization state, and the shadow in his mind instantly dissipated.

Li Fan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The blood, which seemed to be at a high temperature, evaporated into a white mist before it hit the ground.

Li Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, undeterred.

He bought a healing pill from the Tianxuan Mirror, rested for a moment, and then continued to visualize.
