192: Condensing the laws of heaven and earth, gathering the light of the soul

Leaving Hidden Sword Peak.

Back at his Immortal Cave, Mo Fan used Mental Energy to open his storage bracelet and cast an Appraisal Technique on the mountain of origin stones piled inside.

[Discovered low grade origin stone*10011, can be absorbed and converted into attribute points. Absorb?]

Looking at this number, Mo Fan was stunned for a moment.

"It seems this really is the limit..."

He took out 11 of them to keep as reserve origin stones.

Adding to his previous accumulation, Mo Fan now had 210 reserve origin stones in hand.

After doing this, Mo Fan focused his mind and chose to absorb.

With a swish, the origin stones in the storage bracelet instantly disappeared.

Then, an azure virtual panel flashed before Mo Fan's eyes, and his attribute information automatically surfaced.

[Name: Mo Fan (+)]

[Cultivation: Eighth Level Heavenly Mandate (+)]

[...] (Click to expand/collapse)

[Available attribute points: 2 million]

"Excellent, attribute points have increased a bit more, I can add points twice more.

"Next, it's up to Xiao Hei!"

...Early the next morning, lightning flashed and thunder roared as rain poured down. Mo Fan had no way to Cultivate the Golden Body Art, so he had to pass the time by cooking delicious food.

After enjoying an exquisite breakfast, the rain happened to stop. As the sunlight shone down, Mo Fan walked out of his Immortal Cave and took a breath of fresh air.

Just as he stepped onto his Flying Sword, intending to turn into a stream of light and vanish into the sky, a graceful figure quickly flew towards him.

"Jingjing? Why is she here?" Mo Fan was puzzled.

He didn't expect Xu Jing to suddenly run to Chixia Peak.

"I-I finally... made it..." Xu Jing landed in front of Mo Fan, panting and red-faced.

"Are you here... to see me off?" Mo Fan asked, somewhat uncertain.

It had already been a year since Xu Jing entered the Sword Pavilion.

In all this time, this was her first time leaving Hidden Sword Peak.

"H-here, this is for you!" Xu Jing took off an ancient-looking pendant from her snow-white neck and thrust it into Mo Fan's hand.

"I-I still have things to do, I'm leaving now." After handing over the pendant, Xu Jing turned around with a blushing face and fled on her sword.

"Uh—" Watching Xu Jing's back slowly vanish on the horizon, Mo Fan couldn't help but be dazed.

Looking down, he saw the pendant in his hand.

The pendant was woven from bright red string, with a delicate and slender jade sword hanging below. It looked quite aged, emitting a warm and soft glow under the morning sun.

"Ah this—" He wanted to say something, but Xu Jing had already gone far away.

"Fine." Mo Fan shook his head and kept the pendant.

It would be perfect to wait until the next time he met Lin Yiyi to borrow her pendant and see if the two pendants could undergo Body Integration.

"Set sail!" Mo Fan smiled brightly and flew quickly towards Jiang City on his sword.

While riding his sword, Mo Fan used his mind to connect to the system space, carefully observing the pendant and thinking deeply.

"The jade sword on this pendant is long and delicate, looking softer and more restrained.

"The jade sword I absorbed was somewhat thick and broad, with its sharp edge fully exposed, looking quite domineering.

"If the two are different forms of the same item, then how can I complete the revival and achieve the transformation?

"Or, does it really need to merge with the kitchen knife?"

Thinking of this, Mo Fan was a bit dazed, feeling a strange impulse to go find Lin Yiyi and borrow the kitchen knife pendant right now... A few minutes later.

Mo Fan returned to Blue Moon Residential Area.

He skillfully took the spare key from the crack in the brick under the flowerpot and opened the door with a click.

Walking into the house and looking around, Mo Fan frowned slightly.

It was just like the last time he returned.

The floor was spotless, and there wasn't even a speck of dust on the window frames.

It was clearly cleaned just a few days ago.

But other than that, the furnishings in the house remained the same, with no signs of being moved.

"What's going on?" Mo Fan was extremely puzzled.

"Who exactly is coming to clean the house regularly?"

Sitting on the sofa and turning on the TV, Mo Fan flipped through the channels one Reincarnation after another out of boredom while thinking seriously.

Unfortunately, he had no clue at all.

Soon, a strange thought flashed through Mo Fan's mind: "Could it be Dad's old flame?"

Thinking of this, Mo Fan gasped: "Hiss, it really is possible—"

Slowly letting out a breath, he turned off the TV, stood up, and pushed the door open.

"I wonder if Second Master Sun has any news about Dad over there."

...Before long, Mo Fan arrived in front of the gate of the Sun Residence.

As usual, he carried a fruit basket.

The difference was, this time he also carried two bottles of aged Pear Blossom Wine.

He knew Second Master Sun loved to drink.

When Mo Fan was still a child, his father Mo Lin would often come to find Second Master Sun for a drink, and the two drunkards would often drink all night long.

It was only later that the extraordinary secret power in Second Master Sun's body rapidly dissipated, and his health declined day by day, to the point where he would cough up blood while drinking.

Encountering this situation, Mo Lin no longer felt comfortable coming to drink with the old man.

Later on, at Sun Shan's request, Second Master Sun quit drinking.

Calculating carefully, the old man hadn't drunk for eleven or twelve years.

But this time—

If nothing went wrong.

Second Master Sun could continue drinking again.

Knock, knock, knock!

Mo Fan pulled the copper ring three times and waited patiently.

Half a minute later, with a creak, the heavy vermilion gate was pulled open, and a tall figure appeared in Mo Fan's sight.

This was a middle-aged man with a resolute face and short hair. He looked to be in his thirties or forties, was solemn, and his sturdy body gave off an invisible sense of pressure.

Seeing an unfamiliar face, Mo Fan was puzzled and cast an Appraisal Technique on him.

In an instant, the azure virtual panel flashed, and lines of characters quickly appeared before Mo Fan's eyes.

[Ling Yun, Peak Transcendent cultivation, a member of the Dark Night unit of the Demon Suppression Department. He is iron-blooded, cold, and efficient, dedicated to wiping out demons and protecting the Human Race. Although he should be killing enemies on the battlefield, for certain reasons, he was assigned by the higher-ups to Jiang City to take care of a retired veteran general.]

"Little brother, who are you looking for?" Ling Yun frowned as he looked at Mo Fan.

For some reason, although this young man looked ordinary and had a peaceful, restrained aura that seemed harmless,

Ling Yun had the illusion of facing a fierce beast.

He was certain that this young man before him was very unusual and could pose a threat to him.

Instinctively sensing danger was a skill he had developed after nearly twenty years of fighting on the battlefield and escaping death countless times.

"I'm looking for Grandpa Sun," Mo Fan said with a smile.

"May I ask, who are you?" Ling Yun focused, his expression becoming extremely solemn.

"My name is Mo Fan. Please tell Grandpa Sun that I've come to visit him," Mo Fan said.

Hearing the name "Mo Fan," Ling Yun couldn't help but be startled. After reacting, he hurriedly said:

"So you are Mo Fan. You are indeed a talented-looking young man, a good match for Shan Shan."

Mo Fan: "???"

What kind of talk is that?

Playing matchmaker randomly?

Without a word, a smile squeezed onto Ling Yun's cold face as he pulled Mo Fan inside.

At this, Mo Fan was completely bewildered.

"Eh, is this the spirit fruit specialty of Yuxu Academy? It indeed looks extraordinary, with vivid colors and an enticing fragrance that makes one's mouth water."

Looking at the spirit fruits in Mo Fan's basket, Ling Yun couldn't help but praise.

"Haha, just a few ordinary spirit fruits I picked casually, they're not worth much." Mo Fan shook his head.

"That's thoughtful of you." Ling Yun smiled and said no more.

He naturally could see that these spirit fruits in Mo Fan's basket were not picked casually, but were specially selected health-preserving spirit fruits capable of conditioning the body.

Such a meticulous young man, no wonder he is favored by General Sun.

Ling Yun felt that this young man was quite good.

However, he soon froze, looking at the two bottles of wine Mo Fan was carrying with some disbelief.

Frowning, he hurriedly said, "While there's still time, hurry and hide the wine. You must not let General Sun see it, or something will definitely happen—"

Pausing, Ling Yun quickly explained: "General Sun was seriously injured in his early years while fighting demons.

"Now in his old age, his health is declining day by day. At Shan Shan's suggestion, he has been abstaining from alcohol for many years.

"Over the years, anyone who brought wine to see him has been kicked out.

"By bringing wine, I'm afraid you'll make the old man unhappy..."

After saying this, Ling Yun knit his brows into a knot, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Logically, this young man should know that he shouldn't bring wine.

Why—

"It's fine, this wine is Grandpa Sun's favorite, he'll definitely be happy," Mo Fan said with a smile.

"Uh—" Ling Yun hesitated, but ultimately shook his head and said no more.

Still young, after all.

Before long, Ling Yun led Mo Fan to the front courtyard.

The old man was still lying on the rattan chair, soaking up the sun.

Only, compared to two or three months ago,

his aura had clearly declined a lot.

His face was somewhat pale, and he looked weak.

Sensing carefully,

Mo Fan discovered that if Second Master Sun were allowed to continue like this, in at most two or three months, he would exhaust his life force and return to the dust.

At this moment, Mo Fan finally understood.

Why the higher-ups would send Ling Yun, who was at the Peak Transcendent stage, to take care of Second Master Sun's daily life.

Because his days were numbered.

The higher-ups sent Ling Yun here not only to take care of Second Master Sun but also hoping he could obtain some Legacy from him.

After all, he was a legendary figure of those years, the Southern Guardian who had deterred demons for many years.

The higher-ups still valued Second Master Sun very much.

While pondering, Mo Fan walked over and said with a smile, "Grandpa Sun, I've come to see you."

Second Master Sun sensed Mo Fan's aura and quickly opened his eyes and sat up.

"Xiao Fan is here? Hahaha, you haven't visited your Grandpa Sun for quite some time."

Second Master Sun was overjoyed. He climbed out of the rattan chair, walked up to Mo Fan, and looked him over carefully, then laughed loudly:

"Not bad, not bad, Xiao Fan is getting more and more handsome, not inferior to Mo Lin back then. I wonder which girl will end up with you!"

Speaking of this, Second Master Sun was stunned and sighed, saying with some guilt:

"Last time, the news of your father was just a flash in the pan. So much time has passed, and there is still no new news."

Hearing this, Mo Fan nodded and didn't speak.

He was already mentally prepared.

At this time, Second Master Sun glanced at the things in Mo Fan's hands, and his brows furrowed, his natural dignity making him seem somewhat angry.

Seeing this, Ling Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously took two steps forward to speak up for Mo Fan.

However, in the next second, he fell silent.

Second Master Sun gave Mo Fan a reproachful glare and said, "I've told you so many times, coming to your Grandpa Sun's house is like coming home, just come directly. Why do you bring things every time? It's unseemly!"

But soon, Second Master Sun noticed the Pear Blossom Wine in Mo Fan's hand, and his eyes instantly lit up:

"Aged Pear Blossom Brew? This is quite good. This is my favorite wine. It's still Xiao Fan who understands your Grandpa Sun. Come, come, come, let's the two of us have a good drink!"

As he spoke, Second Master Sun seemed to think of something and said with a look of regret:

"Speaking of which, Shan Shan came back once a few days ago and was constantly talking about you. Now that you're back, she's gone back to school."

After saying that, Second Master Sun took the Aged Pear Blossom Brew from Mo Fan's hand and was about to open the packaging.

Seeing this, Ling Yun was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him:

"General Sun, in your current condition, you shouldn't drink—"

At this, Second Master Sun glared with his tiger-like eyes and said crossly, "I've abstained from alcohol for over a decade. Can't I have one more sip before I die?"

Hearing this, Ling Yun's head buzzed, and he looked at Second Master Sun with a face full of disbelief.

A few days ago, when the Provincial Governor didn't understand the situation and brought Century-old Pear Blossom Brew to visit, you didn't say that!

Ling Yun remembered clearly that when he saw the Century-old Pear Blossom Brew in the Provincial Governor's hand, Second Master Sun picked up a broom and started chasing him out!

A month ago, a similar thing happened.

But now—

Ling Yun was in a state of confusion.

Why did General Sun's temperament change so much today?

Soon, he seemed to think of something and looked at Mo Fan with disbelief.

"Could it be because of... him?"

"What kind of magic does this young man have?"

While Ling Yun was lost in thought, Second Master Sun handed the fruit basket to him: "Go, wash a few fruits, cut them up, and bring them over.

"Wash them clean, cut them evenly, and I'll teach you the Hundred Battles Saber Technique tomorrow."

Hearing this, Ling Yun was stunned, his body couldn't stop trembling, and he no longer obsessed over what magic Mo Fan had, saying with disbelief, "Y-yes, I understand!"

With that, Ling Yun picked up the fruit basket and ran to the kitchen with an excited face.

Watching Ling Yun's receding back, Second Master Sun sighed helplessly:

"This kid is excellent in all aspects, but unfortunately he's a blockhead and doesn't know how to be flexible. I don't know if letting him learn the Hundred Battles Saber Technique is helping him or harming him."

Saying so, Second Master Sun continued to unpack.

However, at this time, Mo Fan casually set up several isolation arrays and handed over a pill glowing with golden light.

"Grandpa Sun, eat this condensing origin pill before drinking, it's good for your body."

"This is..." Second Master Sun was stunned, staring blankly at the pill before him that glowed with a dazzling golden light, with golden lightning faintly bursting on its surface, distorting the surrounding space as if it could swallow the Void Realm.

"This is a condensing origin pill, it can condense Primordial Spirit Light, reshape a damaged Primordial Spirit, and help you solve your health problems," Mo Fan introduced.

At the same time, the originally round and smooth condensing origin pill in Mo Fan's palm quickly began to show mysterious patterns, like flowers blooming and withering in an instant.

Thump, thump, thump—

As the patterns bloomed, the condensing origin pill began to beat slowly like a heart, as if it were a living thing.

"This—" Second Master Sun's expression froze, somewhat unable to believe what he was seeing.

After a moment, he calmed down, closed Mo Fan's open palm, and said with a serious face:

"Quickly put it away. Don't show your wealth; do not show such a Divine Pill to others.

"Remember, a man's wealth is his own ruin.

"Besides, I'm already at death's door, so let's not waste such a good pill.

"When your cultivation reaches the Peak of Heavenly Mandate and you strike for the Returning to Origin stage, this pill will ensure your success. Keep it well."

Although Second Master Sun's cultivation had leaked severely and his Primordial Spirit was completely sealed, even his extraordinary secret power was about to be exhausted,

his terrifying Mental Energy was still there, so he could naturally sense the extraordinary nature of the condensing origin pill and the Heaven and Earth Power gathered upon it.

At this, Mo Fan scratched his head helplessly and said, "I've already prepared the condensing origin pill for my own strike for the Guiyuan Realm. This one was specially prepared for you."

Without waiting for Second Master Sun to speak, Mo Fan continued, "This condensing origin pill can help you reshape your Primordial Spirit, allowing your cultivation to return to its Peak and even take a step further to become Supreme."

"But—"

Mo Fan interrupted Second Master Sun and continued, "Demons have not yet been wiped out, the Human Race is still in dire straits, and Shan Shan has not yet married. Are you really willing to die like this?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the words at the back of Second Master Sun's throat were stuck.

Seeing this, Mo Fan pressed his advantage, placing another condensing origin pill in his palm and saying with a smile:

"See, I didn't lie to you, right? The condensing origin pill for my own use is right here."

Second Master Sun was startled. Looking at the condensing origin pill on Mo Fan, countless thoughts quickly flashed through his mind.

Finally, he took a deep breath and took the condensing origin pill Mo Fan handed over:

"Good, great kindness needs no thanks. I will remember this favor!"

Saying so, Second Master Sun swallowed the condensing origin pill in one gulp and quickly operated his Cultivation Technique to absorb it.

In an instant, his brain roared violently, and gentle Law power quickly surged into his brow.

At this moment, the Heaven and Earth Laws became incredibly clear before him.

Drawn by the Heaven and Earth Laws, his already sealed and dim Primordial Spirit once again burst forth with golden light, emitting endless life force.

He took a deep breath and opened his eyes, saying in disbelief, "A Divine Pill, a Divine Pill! In at most half a month, I will be able to reshape my Primordial Spirit and restore my cultivation!"

"That's good." Mo Fan smiled and casually reinforced the isolation array.
