Chapter 5

"Is time running out?" Fang Han was so engrossed in the story that he was completely captivated by the outside world, which was so fascinating.

"Indeed, I was struck by Fang Qingsnow's Purple Lightning Yin Thunder Blade, and all my vitality has been cut off. I can only live for a short while. The Purple Lightning Yin Thunder Blade is one of the eight great abilities of the Feather Transformation Sect. It uses one's own magical power to gather various lightning and true fire elemental energies, making it extremely lethal." Bai Haizhan took a deep breath, "Just now, it was the power of the Nine Apertures Golden Pill that made me regain consciousness."

"Can the Nine Apertures Golden Pill heal your injuries?" Fang Han's eyes flickered.

"The Nine Apertures Golden Pill is the best medicine for consolidating the foundation and nurturing the body. If I had taken it before being injured, I would have entered the Secret Realm of Abilities. But now, it's too late." Bai Haizhan shook his head.

"Master, please accept your disciple's bow." Fang Han bowed down without hesitation. This was a great opportunity for him, and he wouldn't miss it.

Seeing Fang Han bow three times, Bai Haizhan nodded.

"From now on, you are a disciple of the Starry Sky Sect. The Starry Sky Sect is one of the Ten Immortal Sects, on par with the Feather Transformation Sect. I am also a disciple of the sect. This time, I accidentally obtained the Nine Apertures Golden Pill and the Dragon Coiled Yellow Spring Map in the Netherworld Mountain. If I return them to the sect, I will become a true disciple."

"So that's why you didn't take the Nine Apertures Golden Pill after obtaining it. It's better to offer it to the sect for greater benefits. It seems that in the future, I should swallow any benefits I get, rather than thinking about the future. The benefits in my stomach are the real benefits." Fang Han thought.

"Since you are a disciple of the Starry Sky Sect, why don't you ask me to deliver the Golden Pill and the treasure map to the Starry Sky Sect?" Fang Han asked.

"The Starry Sky Sect is far away, beyond the borders of the Great Li Kingdom. Can you reach there? Moreover, our sect has many disciples, all vying to become true disciples. If you go, the items will likely be taken from you." Bai Haizhan said, "So, I will first have you get close to Fang Qingsnow and enter the Feather Transformation Sect. Once you survive and grow stronger there, you can steal the Feather Transformation Ascension Scripture and offer it to the Starry Sky Sect's headmaster. With such great merit, the headmaster might consider my contributions and use supreme power to revive me. You will also be greatly rewarded!"

"In the Fang family, I am just a lowly stable boy, and it's impossible for the young miss to notice me." Fang Han licked his lips.

"The Nine Apertures Golden Pill can change that. It can transform your entire body, making your blood and qi undergo a tremendous change, refining your bone marrow and turning you into a fine talent. Others might not notice, but Fang Qingsnow, who has cultivated to the third level of the Essence Gorge Realm, will definitely see that your constitution is extraordinary." Bai Haizhan seemed to have a well-thought-out plan.

"Third level of the Essence Gorge Realm? What is that?" Fang Han caught some clues about cultivation.

"The physical body has ten levels, and after entering the Secret Realm of Abilities, there are also ten levels! When the ability reaches the tenth level, one can reverse life and death, enter the Longevity Secret Realm, and remain uncorrupted for a thousand years, transforming at will, and regenerating from a single drop of blood. At that point, one truly becomes a dominant force in the universe, a true master of heaven and earth. Only the headmasters of the ten great sects, the emperors of the demon sects, and other reclusive figures can enter the Longevity Secret Realm, and they are on a different level from us. We are ants, while they are great eagles soaring in the sky. I cannot explain all ten levels of the Secret Realm of Abilities to you in detail, but the most important thing for you now is to follow my instructions."

As Bai Haizhan spoke, his breathing became increasingly coarse, as if the effort had drained him. Sensing that he was about to die, he suddenly made a move.

Swish!

Fang Han felt the other's long, black nails, sharp as knives, tear through his shirt at the chest.

Then the nails pierced his flesh, drawing blood.

"Trouble, he's not a good person, he wants to dig out my heart!" Fang Han felt intense pain in his chest, as if his heart was about to be pulled out.

Pop!

At that moment, Bai Haizhan picked up the Nine Apertures Golden Pill. "What a pity, what a pity. My body is already burned, and my blood doesn't flow. This Golden Pill will benefit you."

As he spoke, he pressed the Nine Apertures Golden Pill into the wound on Fang Han's chest, sewing it into the flesh.

"The method to use the Nine Apertures Golden Pill is not to swallow it or apply it externally. Even if you swallow it, it won't be digested and will come out as it is." Bai Haizhan said, "The only way to use it is to create a hole in the heart and sew it in, then use the heart's blood circulation to continuously flush it. Its medicinal power will gradually融入血液中，最终将血液彻底更新，从而伐毛洗髓，脱胎换骨！到时候，你修炼任何武功都会一日千里………."

"真是痛啊………."

方寒胸口的皮肉被指甲戳开，痛不欲生，咬牙忍住。但随后，苦尽甘来，那九窍金丹一缝合进心脏口处的血肉中，药力立即开始散发，被划开的皮肉开始凝结，血也止住了，最后只留下一条淡淡的红痕。

随后，他全身无比清凉，嘴唇中不断分泌出香甜的津液，咕咚咕咚，吞服到肚子中，全身毛孔中不断散发出臭气。

随后，他赶紧到河边，拉了一次，全部是那种漆黑发臭的污血，毛孔中也都黑糊糊的一层臭汗，他索性洗了个澡，顿时全身清爽，呼吸之间到处都是香气。

尤其是他感觉到自己多了一个心脏似的，每次呼吸，心脏口都会连跳两下，每跳一下，自己的力量都似乎增强了一分。

那九窍金丹，就好像是一颗更强大的心脏，辅助了原来的心脏进行血液循环。

身体一好，他感觉到自己的头脑无比清醒，今天的遭遇一下子融会贯通，许多奇思妙想也涌现出来，就好像一个傻瓜突然开了窍，变得聪明起来。

“果然是身体越好，头脑越清醒。强健的体魄，能够滋养头脑，激发神通。”方寒再次验证了自己偷学的武功理论。

“别高兴得太早了，你现在只不过弥补了你原来身体的缺憾而已。”白海禅冷冷道，“要把肉身境修炼到巅峰，还得慢慢来。不过比别人走得更快罢了。从今天开始，你就可以进行大强度的锻炼，都有充足的营养跟得上，坐下来吧……我把我的武功，七星拳教给你。还有这幅蛟伏黄泉图的一些故事。”

方寒也就静静地坐下，听着白海禅解说………

渐入佳境。

但白海禅的声音越来越虚弱，讲到最后：“我们星宿派的各种拳法，都是根据天上群星运行轨迹创造的，以肉身沟通天地，固本培元，达到神通秘境，你要始终记住这一点，多多注意天星轨迹………”

突然，他的身体再次僵硬了，“记住！一定要到羽化门去，偷到《羽化飞升经》！献给掌门！到时候，你我都有天大的好处，还有把我的身体，入土悄悄埋葬，千万不要火化，保留全尸。日后你得了大功劳，就能请求掌教一个条件。替我重生。如果我的尸体损坏了，就不能重生了。切记切记………”

说完之后，白海禅的身体突然一硬！气息完全断绝，就这样死了。
