From the perspective of Heaven and Earth, Li Fan observed faint blue light points occasionally emerging around Ye Feipeng's body.
"It seems Ye Feipeng's plan to attract the attention of the Congyun Sea is progressing smoothly."
The cultivation paths of the younger disciples were gradually getting on track.
There were no delays on He Zhenghao's side either.
During this period, most of the cultivation feedback Li Fan received came from He Zhenghao.
Although his cultivation speed wasn't as rapid as that of the prodigies, his cultivation level was relatively close to Li Fan's, leading to higher expectations for feedback.
Not long ago, he had sent Li Fan a message, still shaken by a recent event.
His friend had invited him to explore a cave dwelling, but He Zhenghao was in seclusion cultivating at the time and couldn't reply.
However, after he finished his cultivation, he was shocked to learn that his friend's entire exploration team had been wiped out.
Furthermore, what was buried in that cave dwelling was not a Golden Core cultivator at all, but a Soul Transformation puppet.
Recalling the incident afterwards, He Zhenghao, having narrowly escaped, still broke out in a cold sweat.
"The path of cultivation is truly perilous. A slight misstep can lead to death and the annihilation of one's Dao."
"My junior brother, Wei Qizheng, had truly remarkable cultivation talent. Everyone believed he would reach the Golden Core stage within a few years, but who would have thought he'd be gone so easily?" He Zhenghao said, filled with lingering fear.
Li Fan casually offered He Zhenghao a few comforting words and cautioned him not to wander around unnecessarily.
As an added gesture, he waived He Zhenghao's interest for the following year, encouraging him to cultivate diligently.
He Zhenghao repeatedly agreed.
"As the number of people invested in the 'Sitting Mountain Art' gradually increases, the cultivation feedback I receive daily is also growing."
"I believe it won't be long before the accumulated feedback rivals what I would gain from constant seclusion."
"The benefit of reaping rewards without effort is that even if I allocate my energy to other tasks, I can still enjoy a continuous increase in cultivation."
Everything was progressing in an orderly manner, and Li Fan felt a sense of ease.
Afterwards, he left Wanxian Island, found a secluded spot underwater as usual, and began his second simulation.
The surrounding scenery suddenly shifted, and Li Fan found himself once again in the Body Transformation Dao's cave dwelling from thousands of years ago.
"Tianyang, it's time for your medicine..."
It was the familiar opening line.
Li Fan drank the medicinal soup, and using the brief warmth that surged through his body, he forced himself to stay alert.
He quickly whispered, "Master, this medicine isn't very effective."
"Please change the prescription for me next time."
Without waiting for Tianyangzi, who was momentarily stunned, Li Fan recited the entire new prescription in one breath.
His body was incredibly weak; even speaking was a struggle.
As if having expended all his vital energy, Li Fan then drifted into a deep, hazy sleep.
The next time Li Fan awoke and drank the medicine, what surged through his body was not just warmth. It was accompanied by unbearable, piercing pain. It felt as if countless fine needles were constantly pricking his entire body. Li Fan's face instantly turned incredibly pale, and he was drenched in sweat.
"Tianyang!"
"Junior Brother!"
Concerned and anxious voices rang out one after another.
Li Fan gritted his teeth and replied in a low voice, "I'm fine, really."
"Master, the prescription is very effective. Please don't change it."
With that, Li Fan fainted.
Even in his unconscious state, he vaguely felt his body trembling and convulsing uncontrollably under the extreme pain. It felt as if he could die at any moment.
Yet, deep within his seemingly depleted body, a pure and vibrant life force began to subtly emerge.
"It really works."
Li Fan felt a sense of relief, then completely lost consciousness.
Over the next few years, Li Fan utilized the "Danger" character method from the *Celestial Physician's Immortal Scripture*. He gradually replenished his body's deficiencies. His periods of sleep became shorter, and gradually, he was able to occasionally get out of bed and walk.
When the members of the Body Transformation Dao curiously inquired about the origin of the prescription, Li Fan simply replied with an innocent expression that he didn't know either. The prescription, he claimed, seemed to have appeared in his mind automatically.
The master and disciples of the Body Transformation Dao were naturally astonished. However, they didn't dwell on it, simply believing that their junior brother had extraordinary luck and was not destined to die. After all, in the vast cultivation world, what mysterious and wondrous things haven't happened?
"Junior brother, you're quite lucky, come to think of it. Several of the herbs in the prescription you gave us were unheard of. We scoured all the surrounding markets, but couldn't find anyone selling them. Some even said these herbs simply don't exist in the cultivation world."
"Heh heh, I didn't believe it. How could a prescription contain all the other ingredients, but these few simply don't exist?"
"So, we argued with them, asserting our point."
"Fortunately, a disciple from the Medicine King Sect happened to pass by and, hearing our argument, asked us for the specific prescription out of curiosity."
"Then, based on his knowledge of pharmacology, he suggested several common herbs as substitutes for us."
"That's how you were finally able to take this medicine, Junior Brother!"
Junior Brother Tianyang's health improved day by day. The faces of the Body Transformation Dao members also brightened considerably. Second Senior Brother Ling Xiao, turning into a chatterbox, recounted his winding experiences to Li Fan. First Senior Brother Si Xing and Third Senior Brother Lian Chang listened quietly nearby, smiling.
The warm and peaceful days passed quickly.
Li Fan was gradually able to move around normally again. However, the Body Transformation Dao members only allowed him to stay within the cave dwelling, citing the dangers outside. Li Fan guessed that this was also a limitation imposed by the simulation rules themselves. After all, this space, simulated and constructed based on the Eternal Reminiscence of True Lord Tianyang, was not like the Immortalfall Realm, which was almost a real world. It was impossible for Li Fan to roam around without restrictions. He decided not to press the issue.
On ordinary days, while cultivating the "Body Transformation and Self-Liberation" technique, he would chat with his senior brothers whenever he had the chance, gathering information. These senior brothers were very caring towards Tianyang, answering all his questions, but only if they pertained to the master and disciples of the Body Transformation Dao. Whenever he tried to discuss other matters in the cultivation world, they would just smile and change the subject.
Although he felt a slight regret that he couldn't gain a more thorough understanding of the ancient cultivation world, the three senior brothers of the Body Transformation Dao had indeed left a deep impression on Li Fan.
The most crucial part of cultivating the "Body Transformation and Self-Liberation" technique was choosing a physical manifestation.
First Senior Brother Si Xing was at the late Golden Core stage. His physical manifestation was a long sword, as thin as a cicada's wing and dripping with emerald green. With man and sword united, he moved like the wind. He could silently take the head of a cultivator from a thousand miles away. He was considered the most formidable in combat among the Body Transformation Dao disciples.
Third Senior Brother Lian Chang was at the mid-Golden Core stage. His physical manifestation was a bronze bell. It possessed extremely strong defensive capabilities and could emit sound waves to repel enemies, shaking their very souls.
Second Senior Brother Ling Xiao, however, was quite unique. Although he was also at the mid-Golden Core stage, his physical manifestation was a writing brush. It had no special means of harming enemies. Its only remarkable ability was to autonomously record all his thoughts and perceptions from his mind, using words and images. His writing style was exquisite and delicate, immersing readers as if they were there, making it impossible to put down. Because of this, Ling Xiao was able to create one work after another at an astonishing rate, almost a book a day.
As for what kind of works they were... One day, when Li Fan was woken by the chaotic meows of cats, and came out to see Ling Xiao controlling a male cat interacting with a group of other cats, he understood perfectly.
Li Fan instantly recalled that the Body Transformation Dao was merely a small, obscure sect. Yet, thousands of years later, its fame far surpassed that of the major immortal sects of the present day. This was precisely because of these magnificent literary works.
