Cultivating Spiritual Power

Lin Dong followed Lin Fan's finger and looked ahead, where he saw a Crimson Flower growing alone from a rock. Its swaying vitality seemed rather strange in this scorching underground world.

Lin Dong curiously examined the Crimson Flower and asked, "Lin Fan Bro, what is this? A spirit herb?"

"It is a spirit herb, and one of the rarest spirit herbs for the mind."

Lin Fan nodded. "It is called the Fire Ancestor Demon Flower. While it can enhance a person's Spiritual Power, it can also devour their soul. That demonic beast died because, unaware of its nature, its soul was consumed by the Fire Ancestor Demon Flower."

"So terrifying?"

Lin Dong jumped in fright.

He had never imagined that a demonic beast in the Creation Realm could die because of a tiny flower.

Lin Fan said with a smile, "Don't worry. Everything in the world has its weakness. Though this Fire Ancestor Demon Flower is strange, the treasure on your body can completely suppress it."

"Really?"

Lin Dong was somewhat unconvinced.

Lin Fan hurriedly said, "I could deceive anyone, but I can't deceive you. If you died because of this Fire Ancestor Demon Flower, wouldn't Qing Tan hate me to death?"

"Alright, then I'll give it a try."

Lin Dong nodded, then stretched out his right hand and slowly walked toward the Fire Ancestor Demon Flower.

Whoosh!

Sensing Lin Dong's actions, the enchanting flower suddenly began to sway gently.

In an instant, the faint mist lingering around it drifted out and lunged toward Lin Dong.

The moment they drew near, Lin Dong felt his palm shudder violently. A ripple spread outward, dispersing the strange smoke.

By then, Lin Dong was already very close to the flower.

Buzz!

A strange suction force abruptly erupted from the center of his right palm.

Under that fierce suction, the enchanting flower was immediately uprooted. Then, before Lin Dong's horrified eyes, it landed on his right palm.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

Rays of light shot from his palm and entered the enchanting flower, which actually transformed into an extremely viscous crimson liquid.

Whoosh!

At that moment, Lin Fan, who had been waiting nearby, instantly appeared before Lin Dong and took one-third of the crimson liquid from his palm.

After obtaining the liquid, Lin Fan swallowed it directly, then sat cross-legged on the ground and began refining it.

Boom!

At that moment, Lin Fan's mind thundered. Immediately afterward, a powerful and peculiar energy rapidly coursed through his body before forcefully charging into his mind.

The moment that special energy entered his mind, it immediately fused with Lin Fan's Spiritual Power.

As the two merged, Lin Fan's Spiritual Power swelled rapidly, as if it had been injected with a catalyst.

Lin Fan soon felt his temples throbbing continuously, his brain seeming about to burst from the rapidly expanding Spiritual Power.

Yet Lin Fan felt no fear. Instead, he began circulating the Spirit Refining Art.

This was a method from another world, used to cultivate the soul and condense Divine Sense.

If Spiritual Power was tofu, then Divine Sense was steel. Its power was more than ten times greater than Spiritual Power's.

In that other world, people needed to condense Divine Sense early on. That way, even if their physical bodies were destroyed, their souls could still rely on Divine Sense to possess another body.

Moreover, the Spirit Refining Art cultivated by Chen Beixuan was even more profound than the methods of ordinary cultivators. It had been obtained from an ancient True Immortal's cave abode and was the strongest soul-refining art of ancient times.

Under the tempering of the ancient Spirit Refining Art, streams of formless Spiritual Power actually transformed into tangible Divine Sense.

The moment it appeared, the air around Lin Fan began to distort.

Boom!

When that surging Spiritual Power was compressed into a single point, it rapidly exploded, transforming into an invisible ripple that spread in all directions.

For a time, the area within a radius of thirty meters around Lin Fan was like a typhoon had swept through it.

"It worked!"

Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes and discovered that the world around him was somewhat different from what he had seen before.

Once Divine Sense was formed, not only were one's five senses greatly enhanced, but one could also use a wondrous sixth sense to perceive the world.

Within the range covered by his Divine Sense, not only could he clearly observe every living thing and object, he could even see the invisible Yuan Power between heaven and earth.

"Ah!"

A miserable scream suddenly rang beside Lin Fan's ear. He saw Lin Dong rolling around on the ground.

Whoosh!

Lin Fan immediately appeared at the other's side and began helping Lin Dong suppress his surging Spiritual Power.

At the same time, Lin Fan also passed the Spirit Refining Art on to Lin Dong.

After Lin Dong began cultivating the Spirit Refining Art, the Spiritual Power that had been surging wildly within his mind was finally brought under control.

Lin Dong's body also stopped struggling, and he sat cross-legged on the ground.

Seeing this, Lin Fan finally let out a sigh of relief.

Shaking his head, Lin Fan thought, What a pity I don't have a Symbol Master cultivation method. Otherwise, combining the cultivation methods of both worlds might make my Spiritual Power even stronger.

He planned to make another trip to Flame City and see whether he could find an opportunity to obtain a Symbol Master cultivation method from Master Yan.

As for the method of condensing an Origin Talisman Seal, he would need to visit the Underground Market in Qingyang Town.

"Still, the most important thing right now is to raise my cultivation as quickly as possible."

Lin Fan glanced at Lin Dong beside him. Unlike himself, Lin Dong had not directly inherited Chen Beixuan's experience, so his Spiritual Power tempering was somewhat slow.

Taking advantage of the time, Lin Fan took out several Yang Yuan Pills, set up a Spirit Stealing Array, and resumed cultivating.

There was an abundant supply of special Yang Hardening Qi here, and with the assistance of these Yang Yuan Pills, it was the perfect place to cultivate.

As the energy of the Yang Yuan Pills entered his body, Lin Fan immediately felt wave after wave of warm energy, like a rising tide, spreading through him.

This energy was extremely dense, yet not violent in the slightest. It was also remarkably easy to absorb. Lin Fan felt as though he were soaking in a hot spring, warm and comfortable all over.

"Splash, splash~"

The energy continuously flowed through his limbs and bones before finally pouring into his dantian.

Lin Fan could clearly feel the scarlet Yuan Power within his dantian rapidly growing more vigorous and dense.

"Phew~"

Who knew how much time had passed before Lin Fan suddenly opened his eyes.

Whoosh!

Brilliant Yuan Power rippled out of him uncontrollably, like wave after wave of water.

"Mid-stage Heavenly Yuan Realm!"

In such a short time, Lin Fan's cultivation had risen by another minor level.

When Lin Fan opened his eyes, he discovered that Lin Dong was no longer there. He had probably gone outside.

Lin Fan rose to his feet and, after a few leaps, arrived outside as well.

Once outside, Lin Fan found Lin Dong and Qing Tan.

Seeing Lin Fan emerge, Qing Tan said excitedly, "Lin Fan Bro, you're finally out! I missed you so much!"

Lin Fan reached out and pinched Qing Tan's little cheek, saying with a smile, "Come on. Big Bro will take you two to Flame City for a stroll today!"

"To Flame City?"

"Yay!"

Upon hearing that, both of them were delighted.

Though they had grown up this much, neither of them had ever been to Flame City.
