Staying In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 21: Fusion

Su Fan, who was still somewhat resentful, suddenly froze.

Happiness came too quickly, leaving him at a loss for what to do. He quickly shouted into the house, "Senior, I'll make a few dishes for lunch. Let's have a drink together..."

"Mm, do as you see fit..." the senior replied.

Su Fan no longer had the mood to study spells. He put the jade slip into his storage bag and excitedly left the courtyard.

This was a golden opportunity. If he didn't hold onto it tightly at this moment, wouldn't he be lacking in ambition?

Even pulling out a single leg hair would be enough for him.

Ye Tianhe, sitting in the hall, put down the book in his hand and glanced at Su Fan's back.

"Good comprehension, what a pity..." he shook his head and picked up the book again.

Ye Tianhe had mooched a meal at noon and then practiced swordsmanship with Su Fan in the courtyard all afternoon.

After he left, Su Fan took out the jade slip.

It was indeed the sect's inheritance jade slip. The dozen or so Middle Level spells recorded inside were all clearly explained, and there were also some experiences summarized by the seniors.

No wonder Ye Tianhe tore apart the book he bought in the market on the spot.

After finishing reading the jade slip, Su Fan wanted to burn that book.

With the sect's inheritance jade slip, Su Fan quickly grasped the Wind Control Technique and made progress.

But at this moment, the panel changed.

Light Body Technique (Subtle): Fusion - Yes/No.

Without hesitation, he immediately chose fusion, and the panel changed again.

Wind Movement Technique (Minor Completion): 1/200.

Although the new spell fused the Light Body Technique and Wind Control Technique, the realm dropped from Subtle to Minor Completion.

But Su Fan was overjoyed at this moment.

Even though he had never heard of the "Wind Movement Technique," he knew that this spell was extraordinary.

During the fusion process just now, he gained some insights and understanding of the wind in his mind.

Although it was only at the Minor Completion level now, he didn't know how much the upper limit of the spell had been improved.

With this thought, Su Fan's figure floated up again and drifted around the courtyard.

It wasn't much stronger than the Subtle realm of the Light Body Technique, but it felt more smooth and natural, with a hint of the artistic conception of wind.

This was just the beginning of the fusion. If he could bring the "Wind Movement Technique" to the Subtle realm...

Thinking of this, Su Fan felt a surge of excitement rushing to his head, and his blood boiled.

Wait a minute...

If he practiced the Middle Grade "Aura Concealing Technique" and "Spirit Vision Technique," would they fuse with the "Spirit Concealment Technique" and "Aura Examination Technique"?

Thinking and doing, with the sword sect's spell jade slip, Su Fan quickly grasped the "Aura Concealing Technique" and made progress.

As expected, the panel changed once again.

Concealment Art (Great Completion): 1/400.

After the fusion of this spell, it changed from Subtle to Great Completion, indicating that the upper limit of the spell was slightly lower.

But the changes were much greater. Not only could it completely conceal one's aura, but it could also freely change one's cultivation realm.

At least the same realm cannot see through it, as for the Foundation Building Stage, it is deliberately concealed but cannot hide it.

He is already a cultivator at the Foundation Building Stage, he must have a lot of free time to deliberately pay attention to him, a low-level independent cultivator.

Su Fan continued to work hard and mastered the "Spiritual Eye Technique".

Although the panel changed as expected after the fusion of spells, this change left Su Fan dumbfounded.

Because there were no new spells displayed on the panel, instead, a strange scene appeared.

Thunder Law Eye (Great Completion): Fusion - Yes/No

What the hell...

Su Fan was completely confused.

Game panel, what are you trying to do?

At this point, he could only continue to choose fusion.

Thunder Law Eye (Great Completion): 215/400

No new spells appeared, only the progress on the panel updated. "Thunder Law Eye" gained over a hundred points of proficiency.

But during the fusion process, some insights appeared in his mind again.

After some attempts, "Thunder Law Eye" integrated all the functions of Aura Examination Technique and Spiritual Eye Technique into the Divine Ability.

Su Fan couldn't help but sigh, ancient Divine Abilities are really amazing, it actually absorbed and assimilated two spells.

Moreover, with one less spell on the panel, it saved time and the functions of Aura Examination Technique and Spiritual Eye Technique could be completely replaced by "Thunder Law Eye".

And with the spells integrated into the Divine Ability, the future effects will definitely be more powerful as his realm continues to improve.

At this moment, Su Fan was stunned.

Because he felt that his perspective was too narrow.

If he cultivates other spells related to spiritual vision in the future, can they also be assimilated by "Thunder Law Eye"? Can techniques like escape arts and footwork be devoured by "Thunder Ghost Steps"?

Ancient Divine Ability is like a basket, everything can be put into it.

That would be really amazing.

Not only can it enhance the functions of Divine Ability, but it can also increase proficiency, saving a lot of effort.

Su Fan took out all the spell books from his storage bag, but the result was disappointing.

Throughout the Qi Refining stage, there were not many spiritual vision spells and footwork techniques, most of them were secret techniques of various sects that outsiders couldn't learn.

As for escape arts, although one can practice the "Five Elements Escape Technique" at the Qi Refining Late Stage, no one actually learns it.

Because it takes too long to activate, it's better to buy a few talismans. Although the effect is weakened, at least it can be activated instantly, increasing the chance of survival.

Su Fan smiled bitterly, he was being a bit greedy.

The following days were calm and fulfilling.

Except for spending a few days each month at the market, the rest of the time he stayed at home cultivating.

Now the market has started to stabilize, but after these days of turmoil, talismans are selling slowly.

Su Fan is not in a hurry, he just goes to show off.

In the eyes of others, his cultivation is still at the third level of Qi Refining, and the "Concealment Technique" is indeed extraordinary, no one can see through it.

During this period, Ye Tianhe would occasionally come over.

Every time he would appear out of nowhere, suddenly appearing in the courtyard, which startled Su Fan. He has become somewhat numb to it.

He doesn't care about Su Fan either, he just reads in the hall and occasionally shares some pointers on Su Fan's swordsmanship.

In Su Fan's eyes, this guy is just idle.

He certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity and often shamelessly asked the other party for advice on cultivation.

Ye Tianhe didn't mind and would try his best to answer any questions for him as long as he could.

For him, he had received systematic education from the sect since he was young, so these questions were child's play.

But for Su Fan, they were of great importance.

A true transmission can be summed up in one sentence, while a false transmission can fill thousands of books.

Often, a casual explanation from others would be enough for him to ponder over for half a year, and he might not even fully understand it.

Anyway, he didn't hold back in taking advantage of this opportunity. As the weather warmed up, the market conditions gradually improved.

As the only docking point for flying boats in the Chu Kingdom, Little Sun Market was already considered the most bustling trading place in the Chu Kingdom.

Su Fan's talisman business also started to pick up.

Most of the talisman masters in the scattered market were independent cultivators, each specializing in drawing a few types of talismans.

But Su Fan was different. His stall had the most complete collection of talismans, and the prices were neither high nor low.

Today, he set up his stall again, arranged the talismans, and as usual, sat on a stool reading a book.

Suddenly, the ghost face tattoo on his arm felt slightly warm.

Su Fan's face turned pale. Someone had sensed his presence through the ghost face mark.

He quickly pinched his fingers and recited a spell, using the "Concealment Technique" to completely hide his aura.

Su Fan speculated that it was not the female cultivator from the Demon Sect, but someone who used secret techniques or a Law Weapon to sense his aura.

If that witch came, even if she stood in front of him, the ghost face mark would not react.

Su Fan sat there calmly, his eyes fixed on the book.

He pretended to be deeply engrossed, but cold sweat was dripping down his back.

He wasn't worried about the demonic cultivators from the Ghost King Sect doing anything to him here.

After all, Little Sun Market belonged to the Azure Mystery Sect's sphere of influence, and there were usually Foundation Building cultivators present.

In broad daylight, they definitely wouldn't dare to be so reckless.

Moreover, Su Fan had a sword letter given to him by Ye Tianhe. With just a light squeeze, he could release the sword and close the door.

The sword maniac happened to have nothing to do, and these demonic cultivators wouldn't be able to escape his pursuit.

But there is no thief that can last a thousand days without being caught.

Su Fan was worried that if they were targeted, his current identity would be ruined, and he might really have to flee to a foreign land.

At this moment, several people who looked like independent cultivators entered the scattered market.

After months of setting up his stall here, Su Fan had developed some ability to judge people.

These independent cultivators didn't seem right from their eyes. They were always looking around, clearly not here to buy things.

They wandered around the scattered market for a long time until a female cultivator wearing a black veil arrived, and these people gathered together again.

One of the cultivators approached the female cultivator and said something, then quickly left with a few people.

The female cultivator with the black veil continued to stroll through the scattered market.

When she passed Su Fan's stall, he intentionally or unintentionally turned his head and glanced at her.

At that moment, a gust of wind blew, lifting the black veil on the female cultivator's hat, revealing most of her face.

"F*ck..."

In that split second, Su Fan recognized her.

He had seen this female cultivator before, she was the Bodhisattva of Misty Rain Pavilion.

He believed he hadn't mistaken her.

Because every time he was passionate, the first person he thought of was his ex-wife, and the second was this Bodhisattva.

At that time, when he encountered this Bodhisattva in the market, the impression she left on him was too deep.

The female cultivator walked around here a few times and finally left the market.

Su Fan breathed a sigh of relief. With the merged "Concealment Technique" and the "Void Spirit Law," he could still conceal the aura of his ghost face tattoo.

Unless Gu Qinghuan personally came, other demonic cultivators using secret techniques or Law Weapons would not be able to locate his exact position.

Su Fan didn't leave immediately, but as usual, he stayed until evening before closing his stall and going home.

The next day, Su Fan changed his identity and came back to the market.

He found a restaurant near Misty Rain Pavilion, took a seat by the window, and sat there for most of the afternoon.

He confirmed his speculation once again. Misty Rain Pavilion was indeed the stronghold of the Ghost King Sect in Little Sun Market, and the Bodhisattva was in charge here.

Moreover, the person who used the "Heavenly Demon Talisman" in the market that night was very likely her.

The next day at noon, Ye Tianhe came again. Recently, he had been coming quite frequently.

Since coming to Little Sun Market, although the people from Azure Mystery Sect treated him respectfully, it was still Su Fan who made him feel the most comfortable.

Ye Tianhe took out a package of spirit tea and placed it on the table in the hall.

"Boil some water and make a cup to taste..."

Su Fan picked up the spirit tea, opened it, and took a sniff. The refreshing fragrance that came to his nose made him feel refreshed.

"Senior, this is spirit tea, where did you get it from..."

Ye Tianhe laughed and said, "Consider yourself lucky. I secretly took it from Senior Qiu, the Autumn Official of Azure Mystery Sect."

Su Fan curled his lips. It sounded like a true story. That was a Foundation Building Stage senior, so if he said he took it, he took it.

Ye Tianhe glanced at Su Fan, knowing that he didn't believe it.

"What's wrong with Foundation Building? If it weren't for nurturing Sword Heart, I would have reached Foundation Building several years ago."

Su Fan chuckled. Old Ye was indeed skilled at pretending, he could always give him a perfect score.

He boiled the water, brewed a cup of tea, and poured it for Ye Tianhe.

"Senior, there's something I'm not sure if I should tell you..."

"Don't waste words, just say it..."

Su Fan told Ye Tianhe about Misty Rain Pavilion and the Bodhisattva.

"Senior, please don't say it was me who discovered it..."

Ye Tianhe looked at him disdainfully, closed his eyes, and took a sip of tea.

Su Fan suddenly felt a sharp aura fill the room, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.

"Hmm... I know, you don't need to worry about it..."

After Ye Tianhe finished speaking, he waved his hand at Su Fan.

"Go cook, I'm hungry..."

A few nights later, while Su Fan was drawing talismans, he heard a loud noise in the distance.

"It's from the market..."

Su Fan chuckled and picked up the talisman pen, successfully drawing a "Ward-off Evil Talisman."
