Chapter 438: 412: Fulfilling Tianyang’s Wish
After swallowing the medicine, Li Fan felt a little more alert.
Using the medicinal effect as a springboard, he triggered a trace of the Power of Mi Chang within his body.
“Puh!”
He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, giving Master Guangyang a fright.
“The Creation and Transformation Furnace Technique” had already started to operate.
Master Guangyang hurriedly started to brew more medicinal herbs for Li Fan.
Li Fan took this opportunity to carefully examine his own physical condition.
Recalling the relevant medical records in “The Immortal Scripture of the Heavenly Physician”, he contemplated countermeasures.
His body was incredibly weak and he felt dizzy just moments later.
So he could only clear his mind and quietly rest.
Once he had gathered a bit more strength, he continued with his contemplation.
This cycle repeated.
Three days later, combining “The Immortal Scripture of the Heavenly Physician”, Li Fan improved the prescription he had taken during his second [Art of Mimic] process.
After much persuasion, he managed to convince Master Guangyang to change his medicine.
The new prescription was outstandingly effective.
Together with the constant body improvement by “The Creation and Transformation Furnace Technique”.
After two months, Li Fan could barely walk.
“Junior brother, you’re incredible! I didn’t expect the prescription to actually be effective! How did you know?” Second brother Ling Xiao supported Li Fan while asking this question.
“It just popped into my mind!” Li Fan responded with eyes wide open and a tone full of naivety.
“Junior brother is extraordinary! Perhaps you will be the hope for the resurgence of our Body Transformation Dao!” Third brother Lian Chang couldn’t help but sigh in praise from the side.
Li Fan just chuckled foolishly in response.
“The first step is considered a success.”
“The key is to become stronger than our eldest brother Si Xing before the summon for Immortals arrives in six years.”
“To replace him in the war, to avoid witnessing the tragic scenes of the Body Transformation Dao people dying one after another.”
“This is where the obsession of Tianyang lies.”
Li Fan was deep in thought.
“Elder brother Si Xing, with his Golden Core Cultivation Level. To surpass him within six years with regular cultivation is like a fool’s dream.”
“I have to take a different approach.”
Li Fan’s eyes flickered.
One day, he privately approached Master Guangyang.
“Self-incarnation?” Master Guangyang was taken aback by his disciple’s question, his face changed drastically.
“Where did you hear this? Did that little rabbit Ling Xiao chatter again?” Master Guangyang puffed up his beard and eyes, cursing out loud.
“Master, it was my idea.” Li Fan said seriously.
“The mystery of [Self-Sublimating Technique] cultivated by our Body Transformation Dao lies in using external objects.”
“But suddenly I wondered, what is an external object?”
“Elder brother’s sword, the second brother’s pen, third brother’s bell, these are all external objects.”
“Then, can my own weak body be seen as an external object?”
“Through the continual refining of the technique, my brothers’ essence objects are getting stronger. If I can treat my body as my essence object, wouldn’t that mean I can change my own constitution?”
“I wouldn’t be as weak as I am now.”
Li Fan spoke word by word.
Master Guangyang’s expression also kept changing.
After a long while, he sighed deeply.
“Tianyang, you truly are a genius! Such insight at such a young age, it’s really…”
Master Guangyang stroked Tianyang’s head, and said somewhat gratifiedly, “With such a disciple, our Body Transformation Dao will thrive!”
“Yes, cultivating the [Self-Sublimating Technique], it indeed can achieve the [Self-incarnation].”
Master Guangyang’s expression suddenly became serious, and he said gravely, “But you must never try it.”
Li Fan looked up at his master, his small face full of confusion, “Why, master?”
Master Guangyang’s expression was a bit dazed, he paused, then began to explain to Li Fan: “The most important aspect of self-transformation is [union of object and self].”
“Self-incarnation is theoretically feasible and it is indeed the best option according to the technique.”
“But…”
Master Guangyang sighed.
“Too difficult! Too difficult!”
“Compared to normal objects, how complex is the human body?”
“Objects can strive for compatibility with oneself through continuous attempts. If the practice goes wrong, the essence object is the only thing that gets damaged.”
“But in the case of self-incarnation, you must always use your own body as the experimental field.”
“A slight mistake can result in severe injury.”
“The physical loss is secondary. What’s more fearsome is the damage to the spirit.”
A hint of sorrow flashed through Master Guangyang’s eyes: “Once, I had a brilliant older brother. His innate talent was the highest I have ever seen, unmatched.”
“He was acknowledged as the ‘number one of Body Transformation Dao in a thousand years’ within the sect and our master had high expectations for him.”
“However, he was so arrogant and self-confident that he believed he could successfully cultivate [Self-incarnation].”
“Despite everyone’s discouragement, he insisted on practicing.”
“As a result…”
Master Guangyang paused.
“At first he was only slightly mad, and we all thought we could heal him.”
“But then, his madness worsened. He couldn’t differentiate between reality and illusion.”
“One night, he broke the prohibition against killing.”
“The number of people who died was countless.”
“Since then, our Body Transformation Dao sect has never recovered…”
As he said this, Master Guangyang shook his head slightly.
“So, my dear apprentice, remember this. You absolutely must not try it!” Master Guangyang warned very seriously.
Li Fan nodded seriously, “Yes, I understand, master!”
