Chapter 232: Human Body Dense Secret Storage

From the records of Angry Octopus:

"So, he was a premature baby.""It's not particularly difficult to cure, but..."

Li Fan looked at the names of the required elixirs—like the Yin-Yang Dragon-Tiger Pill, Innate Qi Pill, and Essence Nurturing Pill—and the general materials needed to refine them, and secretly shook his head. "Our sect, the Body-Transformed Dao Mountain Wild Sect, has no alchemy techniques. Furthermore, we are quite impoverished and have limited financial resources. Even if we knew these elixirs were effective, we might not be able to find them. Besides, whether these elixirs even existed thousands of years ago is another question."

Li Fan reviewed all the other information. The proposed treatments invariably involved using rare treasures to replenish the body's deficiencies, none of which were suitable for young Tianyang's environment. It is indeed very rare for cultivators to be born as innately weak as Tianyang. Since the re-establishment of the Myriad Immortals Alliance, there have only been a few such cases. Therefore, it can be considered a standard difficult disease, and there wasn't much for Li Fan to reference.

"Could it be that I still have to use the method of breaking through to the Golden Core stage?""Wait, how could I have forgotten this!" Li Fan paused, then suddenly realized. He activated a secret technique of the Divine Transformation Dao, quickly reviewing the *Celestial Physician's Immortal Scripture* recorded in his mind. Although Li Fan had memorized the entire medical scripture, its content was too vast. In the past, it was merely stored within the blue crystal in his mind, and he couldn't access or use it at will, which sometimes led him to instinctively overlook it.

The *Celestial Physician's Immortal Scripture* truly was profound and did not disappoint Li Fan. Soon, he found the description of the corresponding ailment: "...Lethargy, stunted growth—all such cases are due to insufficient innate vital energy. To treat this ailment, there are three methods: first is replenishment, second is risk, and third is poison."

Li Fan reviewed the three methods in the medical scripture one by one, and couldn't help but secretly admire them. "This path of medicine truly cannot be underestimated."

What was referred to as "replenishment" was the method Li Fan had previously found in the Celestial Profound Mirror: using rare treasures to supplement innate vital energy. As for the other two methods, "risk" and "poison," they were quite intriguing.

The medical scripture stated that although those afflicted with this condition had innate deficiencies, as long as they survived for at least one year after birth, their acquired constitution would be complete and self-contained. The human body contained infinite hidden potential, with unlimited latent power. However, under normal circumstances, ordinary methods could not activate or utilize this potential. Only when in a deep sleep, completely unconscious, could one instinctively mobilize the vitality within the body to replenish the innate deficiencies with acquired energy. This was also why those with innate weakness often fell into prolonged periods of unconsciousness.

The two treatment methods, "risk" and "poison," were based on this theoretical foundation. The underlying principles were essentially the same; however, "poison" was more extreme, while "risk" was more conservative and moderate. Both involved taking medicine to forcibly stimulate a person's vital potential, thereby completely remedying their innate weakness in one go.

If the body's essence, qi, and vitality were likened to water, then innate weakness was like the downstream land cracking due to prolonged drought and lack of water. The hidden vital potential within the human body was like a massive reservoir upstream. The "poison" method was like directly blowing up the reservoir, risking one's life in a desperate gamble for survival. It was applicable in cases of severe illness, as a last resort. The "risk" method, on the other hand, involved intermittently opening the sluice gates to release water, supplementing the body's essence and qi, while simultaneously diverting water from other rivers—a two-pronged approach.

"These two methods, though seemingly incredible, actually have their own logic," Li Fan mused. "In desperate situations, people often unleash powers far beyond their usual capabilities. The body's hidden potential... Is this perhaps the Celestial Physician's method for achieving the Dao? Perhaps, while cultivating and devising formations, I should also thoroughly study this *Celestial Physician's Immortal Scripture*."

Having found a solution, Li Fan was not in a hurry to use the Eternal Reminiscence again. Instead, he checked the battle status of Zhang Qianmo of the Purple Cloud Sect in "Sitting and Discussing the Dao." The record showed "98 wins, 28 draws." Still, no clear winner had emerged. As Zhang Qianmo's number of wins increased, he attracted more and more attention, and the challengers' strength was also continuously increasing. One cultivator, named "I Am Invincible," seemed to have created a character using himself as a template. He had already initiated five or six challenges consecutively. Although he lost every time, the duration of the battles was slowly increasing. After the last battle, he excitedly sent a message, saying that he had figured out a way to defeat Zhang Qianmo and would challenge him as soon as he finished his cultivation.

Li Fan was quite looking forward to this. Based on the explanation of how the Eternal Reminiscence was used to simulate and form the Extreme Reality World, Li Fan also had a guess as to why he had been trapped in Ningyuan City in the Fallen Immortal Realm. "It should still be due to the influence of a persistent obsession. Just as I couldn't leave Tianyang's cave abode, unless I resolve this obsession, I will never be able to leave Ningyuan City. As for whose obsession it is, and what kind of obsession it is... Currently, the greatest possibility is that it's related to Zhang Qianmo. Perhaps defeating him could bring about some different changes. I hope this 'I Am Invincible' truly lives up to his name and doesn't disappoint me."

Closing "Sitting and Discussing the Dao," Li Fan then checked on Xiao Heng's situation. Since receiving the "Skull Senior's" instruction, Xiao Heng had begun to act. Su Xiaomei officially entered the Skull Vanguard Realm and received the *Six Desires Without Form* technique from Li Fan. Once she entered the Qi Refinement stage, her cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. Su Changyu still hadn't completed the removal of the Immortal-Mortal Miasma from his body, but perhaps because of his young age, his progress was much faster than before. It was estimated that he would successfully draw Qi into his body within one or two years.

Xiao Heng, meanwhile, quietly brought the wandering Yin sisters to the deserted island and taught them the method of dispelling the miasma. Zhang Haobo did the same. However, during this process, a small incident occurred that left Li Fan amused and exasperated. Because Ye Feipeng had been alone outside for years, acting suspiciously and doing who-knows-what, and Xiao Heng's attempts to contact him often went unanswered, Xiao Heng had to do all these things painstakingly by himself.

So when Ye Feipeng flew back to the deserted island, beaming with triumph, only to suddenly see Zhang Haobo silently standing on the beach, calmly looking at him, the extremely guilty plump young man thought that his snatching of Zhang Haobo's opportunity had been discovered and that others had come to seek revenge. Ye Feipeng was immediately terrified. In front of this "Dao Integration Immortal Venerable" from his previous life, he didn't have the slightest thought of resistance. Instead, he chose to flee immediately. He fled thousands of miles without looking back, at a speed several times faster than when he arrived. Only when he believed he was completely safe did he stop, still shaken, leaving behind a bewildered Zhang Haobo standing perplexed on the beach.

Although the misunderstanding was eventually resolved through communication between Ye Feipeng and Xiao Heng, he was too embarrassed to return to the deserted island for the time being. He continued to roam the Cloud Sea, pursuing wind disasters.
