Li Fan did not choose to leave seclusion immediately. Instead, he returned to the stone chamber under the lake and commenced his first cultivation round after reaching the Foundation Establishment Phase.

He started cultivating the part of “The Golden Seal of the Jade Realm of a Thousand Mechanisms” meant for the Foundation Establishment Phase.

However, after a short period, he Imit his brows and stopped.

During the cultivation process, he vaguely felt a hint of sluggishness in the circulation of Spiritual Energy.

Though it was very faint, to the point that it would go unnoticed if he wasn’t paying attention.

Nevertheless, it existed.

After some thought, Li Fan halted and turned to cultivate the “Godly Sword of Calming Seas”.

Ever since Zhang Haobo died, no one had practiced this technique.

As soon as he began, Li Fan distinctly noticed the difference from cultivating “The Golden Seal of the Jade Realm of a Thousand Mechanisms”.

Even with Li Fan’s talents, the cultivation was incredibly smooth.

It was as though there was some sort of Enlightenment boost. In just an instant, the spiritual energy circulated several cycles within his body following the lines of the technique, easily breaking through to the Mid Stage of Energy Refining.

“Right, now you are at the Final Stage of Energy Refining. When you choose a Foundation Establishment Technique, if possible, remember to select one compatible with your special Foundation Establishment object. This way, not only will your cultivation be more efficient, but you’ll also get more benefits,” He Zhenghao’s past advice suddenly came to his mind, making Li Fan ponder.

“Compatibility, I see.”

With a thought, a Blue Water Sword was immediately formed in his Dantian.

With a swift movement of his hand, the Water Sword flew out in an instant and easily pierced a small hole in a giant rock.

“The power of my techniques has indeed increased significantly.” Li Fan withdrew the Ocean Command Sword and deliberated.

“If it was an average cultivator, even if the Gold Core Technique enhanced his cultivation faster, he would still choose to cultivate the Nascent Soul

Technique, provided he had access to them both.”

“But I’m different. [Real] can carry the cultivation realm over to my next life. So, the technique that suits me best is the one that enhances my current realm most quickly. ”

“In the past, I didn’t have many options and could only cultivate “The Golden Seal of the Jade Realm of a Thousand Mechanisms”. Now, with more choices, I don’t have to stick with it.”

Li Fan looked at the techniques listed on his [Real] panel.

When he was cultivating fewer techniques, he hadn’t been paying much attention.

Now, he’s simultaneously cultivating six techniques and can see a pattern in their list order.

Xuan Huang Heart-Refining Spell, Mistwater Mirage Technique, The Secret of Swapping Day and Night, The Golden Seal of the Jade Realm of a Thousand Mechanisms, Spiritual Illusion Technique, Shadow Following Technique.

It seemed like they were sorted by the value of the techniques from high to low.

“Looking at this way, is Xuan Huang Heart-Refining Spell even higher than Mistwater Mirage?

The Mistwater Mirage Technique is a direct transmission from Qin Tang, and it’s in a completely different system from the current techniques.

No matter the cultivation stage, as long as the previous stage is completed with the requirements met, the next stage can be self-cultivated.

The seven levels of Mistwater Mirage correspond to Mortal, Refining Energy, Foundation Establishment, Gold Core, Nascent Soul, God Transformation, and Unity-Path respectively.

It’s clear how valuable it is.

Even so, in the eyes of [Real], the grade of the Xuan Huang Heart-Refining Spell still surpasses the Mistwater Mirage.

The implication of this left Li Fan deep in thought.

But when it came to how he originally understood the Xuan Huang Heart-Refining Spell, Li Fan himself was left clueless.

So inevitably, Li Fan wasn’t going to figure out the reason for this.

Currently, the Xuan Huang Heart-Refining Spell is running continuously like instinctive breathing.

But its cultivation progress has become very slow.

Twenty-eight years have passed in this life, yet there has been no noticeable change.

But Li Fan wasn’t in a rush. After all, he had plenty of time.

His thoughts returned to choosing the technique for his next cultivation.

Li Fan inevitably thought of the “Mountain-Seating Secret” which He Zhenghao had practiced when he was alive.

From He Zhenghao’s descriptions, this technique could infinitely amplify the advantages of foresight that [Real] brought.

However, to find out the extent of the effects of “Mountain-Seating Secret” , he’d have to try it for himself.

After pondering for a while, Li Fan took a pile of unidentifiable rubble from his storage ring.

It was the remains of numerous cultivators he had collected from the Tianyang Cave Mansion before.

The clone was dead. It was time to cultivate a new one.

A glint flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.

“The first thing to do is to find the part that belongs to Daoist He,” he said.

After some consideration, Li Fan had an idea.

He set up a simple version of the “Heavenly Stars Array,” then poured in all the residues.

The residues immediately started to move like the stars in the sky, revolving and floating around the center.

Li Fan then increased the operating frequency of the array.

The residues began to spin faster and faster.

Soon, they each formed their distinct trajectories, clearly separated from each other.

Li Fan carefully distinguished He Zhenghao’s aura.

It was still mixed with other residues.

Li Fan patiently repeated the above steps.

After more than half a day, he finally separated He Zhenghao’s remains.

Perfect Bone, Heavenly Spirit Milk, Broken Bone Treasure Tendon, Heavenly Crystal Spirit Sand…

Li Fan took out the materials he had already prepared one by one.

The refinement began.

“According to ‘The Secret of Swapping Day and Night,’ when you seize the skills of a deceased cultivator, you will instantly sense some of their memories,” Li Fan explained.

“Generally speaking, the more valuable items from a cultivator’s life are less likely to occur. ”

“So what can be seized depends a lot on luck.”

“During his life, He Zhenghao had planned to change his technique, so he obviously didn’t hold ‘The Mountain-Seating Secret’ in high regard.”

“The probability that I can replicate it is quite big.” Li Fan thought as he began to cultivate the clone.

Bones, organs, skin, hair…

They slowly began to form.

Eventually, just like before, Li Fan recreated the face according to the previous clone.

Li Fan nodded in satisfaction, pointing at the top of the clone’s head.

“Cut!” he ordered.

Unlike before, after his consciousness connected with the clone this time.

A lot of faded images suddenly appeared in Li Fan’s mind.

They were like the cherished old paintings.

Some were just a bit yellowed, while others had big holes and were badly damaged.

But all of them flashed by in an instant.

Li Fan focused all his energy on distinguishing the parts with ‘The Mountain-Seating Secret’.

The number of images was getting fewer and they began to shake violently.

But Li Fan remained unmoved in his heart.

He wanted nothing but ‘The Mountain-Seating Secret’.

Finally, he hit the jackpot.

Just before all the images disappeared, Li Fan saw it.

The scene of a young He Zhenghao joyously holding a jade scroll after exploring the cave mansion. A gleam flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.

“It’s you!”

His thoughts, like a beast that had been waiting for its prey for a long time, voraciously devoured this faded, damaged image.

Information flowed like water into Li Fan’s consciousness.

Li Fan slowly digested it all.

After a while, Li Fan opened his eyes, his face showing a strange color. “So ‘The Mountain-Seating Secret’ isn’t a cultivation method for human!”
