Thus, under Madam Yan's careful and meticulous guidance, and after a day of exchange and learning, Li Fan had thoroughly grasped the various wonderful applications of the * Suwen *, and could integrate them into his understanding, gaining a profound understanding. In return, he also passed on the secrets of the Lingshu to the Yan sisters.

Of course, it's proper cultivation and Qi practice; don't get the wrong idea.

However, Liuyun said that her comprehension was not good enough. Although Li Fan had given her careful guidance and explanation, she still could not comprehend the Ling Shu in just one day and one night. Therefore, she might need three to five more days of instruction and in-depth study to gain some understanding.

Jiyue grew anxious, explaining that her comprehension was also poor, making it difficult for her to gain a deep understanding of such a profound manual as the Ling Shu. However, since Li Fan had already mastered the methods of the Suwen, and her injuries were too severe to bear, she suggested that her sister study it herself first, while they completed their treatment.

Liuyun, who had long been deprived of the Great Dao, finally encountered the true Dharma today. Moreover, the combined teachings of the Ling Shu and * Suwen * greatly enhanced his long-stagnant cultivation, much like a parched land receiving timely rain. He felt completely refreshed, radiating vitality, and thus became even more eager to pursue the Dao. He said, "Sister, your injuries are too severe. These two practices are not yet perfect. Their combined cultivation requires further research and discussion. Acting rashly might only worsen your injuries. We need to discuss this further, refine the theory, and only when we are confident can we develop a treatment plan. You should heal yourself first."

So he forced Li Fan to cooperate and practice for another day and night until he was able to control himself, manage his mind, and resist the huge emotional surge brought about by the dual cultivation of the Ling Shu Suwen. Only then did he agree to use this Cultivation Method to treat his sister.

Through careful study and practice with Liuyun over the past three days, Li Fan has gained a complete understanding of the wonders of the *Ling Shu Suwen *. He had already acquired considerable theoretical and practical experience while studying and developing the Li Shi Ling Shu in Penglai, but he didn't know what was missing that prevented him from succeeding. Now, having mastered the * Suwen *, Li Fan has filled that gap and finally understands the problem.

The Yan sisters are right that the *Ling Suwen , a sister text to the Immortal Palace Ziwei Yuan Imperial Lineage, is a forbidden secret manual of the imperial lineage, but they are incorrect to say that the *Ling Suwen * is the * Immortal Emperor's Inner Canon Secret *. If Li Fan's deduction is correct, there is still a Cultivation Method missing from this text!

Yes, the "Immortal Emperor's Inner Scripture," the supreme righteous method designed by the Immortal Venerable for the direct descendants of the imperial clan, should consist of three Cultivation Method! Moreover, it should have been deliberately separated, and separated twice! No, it should have been separated at least three or four times!

By comparing various versions of the Ling Shu and the * Suwen *, as well as the Huan family's unique Golden Scale Palace secret manual, and even referencing the Nangong Family's Phoenix Profound Skill, Li Fan made some calculations.

The Immortal Palace clan went to great lengths to monopolize the secret methods of the hidden Celestial Venerable. They probably first made the first revisions to the original "Inner Classic of the Former Emperor," concealing the true cultivation methods of the Celestial Emperor lineage, and then compiled "Spiritual Pivot and Plain Suwen" into a book, creating this secret manual for the Celestial Empress and Celestial Consorts to cultivate in conjunction with the Celestial Emperor's dual cultivation.

But the Immortal Venerable was the first man in the world to cultivate both body and spirit, who dominated the world and broke through realms to ascend to immortality. His Cultivation Method was incredibly domineering and powerful. In the past, one had to reach the Enlightenment Stage to secure the position of Immortal Emperor. To put it bluntly, if one cultivates the <Immortal Emperor Inner Scripture> to the Enlightenment Realm, the position is practically guaranteed.

Even though auxiliary methods like the *Ling Shu Suwen * conceal some of the Celestial Emperor's unique secret techniques and killing moves, they are still fundamentally complementary and orthodox methods. According to the principle that dual cultivation requires five similarities, it is certainly possible to attain enlightenment through dual cultivation. Otherwise, how could the Celestial Emperor and his empresses engage in dual cultivation?

However, Sanyuan clearly felt that this would not work. Mortal rulers already had three thousand concubines, and the Celestial Emperor Guangzheng had twelve empresses and eight consorts. If a large group of empresses and consorts who had Divine Transformation suddenly appeared in the Zǐwēigōng, what would become of them?

Thus, the Ling Shu Suwen was split into two parts: Ling Shu and Suwen. Based on Li Fan's experience and understanding, and by comparing the Dao bodies of the Ling sisters and the Yan sisters, he came to a conclusion that was almost certain.

Simply put, the dual cultivation in the Ling Shu leans towards physical cultivation, while the dual cultivation in the * Suwen * leans towards Qi Refinement Stage.

Of course, it's neither the Qi Refinement Stage Refining of the Xuanmen nor the Body Refining of the Overlord Body. The Ling Shu can temper the bones and strengthen the Dao body, while the Suwen can repair the internal organs and rebuild the meridians. Therefore, even someone whose meridians are severely damaged and who has lost all their power can recover their cultivation through the Suwen. And the Ling sisters cultivate the Ling Shu, so even evil energy cannot defile or invade their Dao body and physical body.

Although both the Ling Shu and * Suwen * can still be cultivated in this way, a crucial part is missing, preventing them from comprehending the Dao. It is estimated that they can only cultivate up to the Transformation Stage.

However, this is not a problem for the Immortal Emperor. He can simply choose one of the <Ling Shu> today and visit the <Suwen> palace tomorrow. Although this is a bit slower, with the entire Ziwei Immortal Palace supporting his cultivation, he can not only maintain his cultivation level, but also does not have to worry about the palace's secret techniques being leaked by the concubines and relatives of the empress.

However, due to the assassination of the Immortal Emperor, the true "Immortal Emperor's Inner Classic" was probably lost. After all, it was an imperial family, and if even their closest relatives were kept in the dark, the princes and grandsons would only be kept in the darker light. The fact that no one has been able to become an Immortal Emperor since then shows that the secret technique has not been passed down.

The Ling Shu and Suwen must have undergone many significant revisions during their transmission to the immortal clans. There were even several versions of the Ling Shu in Penglai alone. Although the Suwen in the hands of the Yan sisters was passed down from their mother, that troublesome old fox, the two sisters' cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul Realm, so they obviously did not fully inherit it.

On the contrary, the "Huan Family's Dual Cultivation Method" is quite interesting. This dual cultivation method for Qi cultivation and Foundation Establishment also comes with many illustrations. If Li Fan is not mistaken, this may be an introductory education for the disciples of the Immortal Emperor's clan. It may even be a secret method for laying the foundation, which is of the same origin as the "Immortal Emperor's Inner Classic".

As for the Phoenix Profound Technique of the Nangong Family, it was purely a copycat imitation, a complete fabrication. It was simply a visualization and imitation of a Celestial Venerable's skin, but what was cultivated under that skin was something completely different. To put it bluntly, the Nangong cultivators who reached the highest level, under the Celestial Venerable's skin, were actually wrapped in a ball of fire, the Samadhi Bright Flame Phoenix Profound Fire.

So Li Fan understood why Nangong Wushuang couldn't be killed no matter how many times he was attacked last time: it was just a leather suit. Even if he was cut to pieces in three or four strikes, he wouldn't die.

However, no Cultivation Method is completely useless. Even the method of cultivating with a suit in the <Samadhi Bright Flame Phoenix Profound Technique> gave Li Fan a new hint. He could actually imitate the suit cultivation method of the Nangong Family.

Because his true form is now uncontrollably becoming too ethereal, Non-Thing, regardless of whether it's the Supreme True Yang Technique or the Tai Su Transformation, it will eventually lose its human form. Wearing a human-shaped protective suit might not be a bad way to stabilize his Dao heart!

Furthermore, the Phoenix Mystic Art already includes a solution for wearing a leather bodysuit, and the Li Family Spiritual Pivot is also complete. Now, all that's needed is to integrate the Suwen and combine them into a unique manual tailored to Li Fan, the Qingyue Inner Classic Secrets, to reshape his body!

Of course, this is a huge project. It is not only equivalent to completing the long-lost "Immortal Emperor's Inner Classic", but also to modify it into a "Leather Suit Inner Classic" suitable for Li Fan himself. It also needs to take into account the compatibility with the Tai Su Dao Body. It is not something that can be solved by a mere three to five days of cultivation.

Therefore, Li Fan temporarily put aside this long-term project and first helped Jiyue was already impatient, with her treatment, in order to further grasp the wonderful uses of the Suwen.

That sounds a bit crude, but Li Fan was genuinely thinking that he might be able to use the * Suwen * to treat Qin Nanxin's injuries. Therefore, he was exceptionally serious and dedicated in treating Jiyue, carefully studying Jiyue condition and constantly monitoring her physical state and feelings. This Jiyue, who fully cooperated with Li Fan's research on the * Suwen *.

Even Liu Yun was jealous. After resting for only one day, he couldn't resist and joined the research and study group.

After seven days and seven nights of repeated tempering and diligent practice, not only was Jiyue's injury completely healed, but the Yan sisters also gained a great deal. They not only increased their cultivation level significantly through dual cultivation with the * Suwen *, but also mastered the wonderful methods of the Lingshu. After trying it, they discovered that the two sisters could also use the *Lingshu Suwen * for dual cultivation, which made them even more delighted.

Of course, being fox spirits, their desire for cultivation, like that of wild beasts, was sometimes so pure. Their Dao heart was indeed a bit lacking, making it difficult for them to maintain their cultivation.

However, Li Fan felt it was unnecessary. Although this in-depth discussion had given him a profound understanding of the *Ling Shu Suwen * and allowed him to deduce the prototype of the Immortal Emperor's Inner Classic, to be honest, while dual cultivation was much faster than regular breathing Qi Refinement Stage, it was still not as fast as Moon Worship or passing through tribulations. Therefore, compared to his usual cultivation gains, Li Fan felt it was only so-so, not bad at all.

Moreover, thanks to his calm demeanor, Li Fan could focus his mind at any time, thus maintaining a clear and focused Dao heart, truly True Cultivator. He didn't fall into the same trap as the Yan sisters, whose Dao hearts were affected later on, causing them to begin revealing their demonic forms, or even to the point of completely losing themselves and revealing their Demon Race forms.

They're really showing their demonic nature! Not only are their fox tails showing, but their ears and claws are also peeking out! If this keeps up, they're really going to reveal their true forms!

Li Fan's taste is relatively normal. Although minor repairs can be enjoyable, and it's acceptable for these sisters to become human, Li Fan still finds it hard to accept the sight of a fox with blue eyes, fangs, and a fluffy head!

Ten days have passed since I went into seclusion, and I still have a lot of important matters to attend to. How can I continue this high-intensity cultivation day and night? Even if my body can handle it, my Dao heart will decay! I need to know when to stop!

So Li Fan took the opportunity to knock out the Yan sisters, leaving them in the Dan Pool to stabilize their cultivation and calm their minds, while he escaped.

Ten days of seclusion have indeed delayed many things. This can be seen from the many talismanic letters left outside the Li Family Village formation.

Li Fan also skimmed through the plot, quickly scanning the lines he had already skipped.

First came the official report from Lou Guan Tower. Li Fan was now a True Person holding the position of Guardian of Moshan. Ink Bamboo Mountain compiled the major events of the cultivation world each month, the decisions and arrangements of the Abbot, and the changes of various mountains, peaks, academies and departments into a booklet and sent it to the person in charge of Ink Bamboo Mountain for reporting and notification.

The first item in this official gazette was a shocking piece of news that stunned the entire world.

Shocking! Internal strife within the Emei Sect! Xuan Yunzi and Qing Yunzi engage in a sword duel to vie for the position of successor sect leader!

Oh, so it's a competition for the position of sect leader...

No way! Who the hell are these two?! Where are the Three Elders and Four Ancestors?! Qin Tianjue?!

Li Fan was momentarily confused, then realized what was happening and felt a chill run down his spine.

He suddenly realized that he had underestimated Emei. They weren't just about the Three Elders and Four Ancestors, and Qin Tianjue! They also had many other deities whose names he had never even heard of!

However, this makes it easier to understand Three Elders and Four Ancestors couldn't intervene. What could they do? They were all equally important to them!

In short, the two Yunzi are currently engaged in an internal power struggle on the Golden Summit. Although no winner has been decided yet, it is ultimately related to the future succession of the Emei Sect leader. A large number of experts from the Nine Great Xuan Sects have already gathered there to watch the spectacle.

Moreover, it's said to be internal strife, but we still don't know if it's genuine or just a pretense. With the Golden Summit sealed off and closed, who knows what's really going on inside? But Xuan Yunzi, Qing Yunzi...

Speaking of which, Qin Nanxin's master, Lingyunzi, is also a "cloud," right? And is Han the Divine Lord also a cloud? It's a pity that Xuantian is too old, Tianjue Dao Lord is just a young man from the Qin Family, so they probably don't know much about the things of Xiao Han and Xiao Lingyun's generation. These secrets will probably have to be asked of Qin Nanxin.

By the way, Qin Nanxin has also woken up. Of course, she also sent a letter. Although she has lost all her cultivation and is seriously injured, fortunately, Li Fan gave her so much Immortal Spirit Jade Marrow to nourish her, so she is not paralyzed. However, she still needs to lie in bed to rest and can only barely pick up a pen.

However, being a Daoist who had devoted herself to cultivation for many years, she was not defeated by this setback. She even wrote a letter to thank Li Fan for saving her life and providing her with many miraculous medicines for treatment.

However, Qin Nanxin also discovered that the sect's jade pendant and gold medal had malfunctioned, indicating that something had happened to Emei. Since the ordinary disciples of Ink Bamboo Mountain were unaware of the details, she was extremely anxious and directly wrote to Li Fan to inquire about Emei's situation.

That's perfect. Li Fan will be helping Qin Nanxin heal her injuries later, which will allow him to advance the Emei storyline.

Of course, the major events reported in the official gazette were not limited to Emei. After all, when the world was at peace, there might not be any major events in the Immortal Realm for several years or even decades. A certain grandmaster updating a pill formula could take up dozens of pages of the gazette.

But things are different now; chaos has arrived.

Even major events that would have shaken the world in the past, such as meteor showers, battles for extraterrestrial meteorites, and magical treasures from beyond the realm, have been condensed into a single page of record.

It's a long, drawn-out list, even the format is fixed: some month, some day, some place, a fight over a few pieces of meteorite iron, dozens or hundreds of people died, all glossed over. It's just that people from the Three Great Sects perished in the calamity, and their sects, names, where the direct descendants of the Three Mountains are, and who killed them are mentioned. But for the rogue cultivators, really, all that's left are their names.

You think that the meteorite is the biggest event in the world right now, but it's just a topping, a prelude. The main course is yet to come. Just flip through the official gazette and you'll see a long list of 'massacres' and 'extermination of families'.

It wasn't just the Hengshan sect of the Three Walls God Sect Cult that was mobilizing large armies to wage war; even various countries, states, and prefectures had entered a phase of mutual attacks and annihilation.

Some powerful local Cultivation Family, supposedly protected by 'Nascent Soul Stage Ancestors' and backed by the local imperial court, could have their entire family of over a hundred people wiped out overnight, leaving not even a dog behind. Such powerful families would still be recorded as 'extermination of a certain clan in a certain state and place'.

As for the ordinary people affected by war, fire, flood, plague, and famine, they are simply numbers, numbers that no one has time to count.

Such horrific scenes were probably only seen in Gen Province in the past, but now, just by looking at these locations in the official gazette, the bloodshed of this chaotic world has visibly spread to the entire realm of the Twelve Countries.

Speaking of which, Ink Bamboo Mountain was targeted and many new disciples were killed. It was an intolerable situation that they had to take revenge. However, in reality, the fighting Li Country had already resulted in bloodshed and horrific deaths.

Even the Li Country cannot truly remain uninvolved. Not only are refugees pouring in from all directions, but foreign soldiers, bandits, and demons are also appearing. Even in Changsi City, people are starting to die because of the upcoming change of ruler. The entire Li Country is like a pot of boiling oil on a fire. It looks calm on the surface, but if a large chunk of raw, bloody meat were thrown in, the whole pot would probably explode.

Li Fan flipped through the official gazette with a blank expression, looking at the numbers.

He didn't need the system to force him to calm down. Looking at the official gazette in his hand, Li Fan already understood.

The brief period of peace achieved by Xuan Tian and Cangsong's generation through bloody massacres and the swords they wielded has become a thing of the past.

With the fall of 'Heaven', the splitting of the Golden Summit, and the chaos of Yuntai Peak, this world has once again returned to its ancient, normal state.

From then on, what was written in this official gazette became the norm in chaotic times.
