"Could it be...?"
Fang Han's fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the stone table twice, making two very light sounds.
Suddenly, his fingertips paused.
It's not that you swallowed the treasures of heaven and earth.
It's not that Talent Amplification has a higher magnification turned on.
The only possibility is--
"It's because I became a master!"
Fang Han raised his eyes slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
When you become a Grandmaster, it is not only your lifespan that is improved, but also your life essence.
Rather, the improvement of the essence of life is the real core.
Lifespan is just one of the side effects of improving the essence of life.
The improvement of the essence of life is not limited to life span.
Roots, understanding, and even perception and affinity for Heaven and Earth Origin Energy should all increase.
It's just that he had previously focused on the surge in combat power and the transformation of True Qi, but ignored this point.
"No wonder..."
Fang Han I remembered the records I had read in the sect's classics.
The classics say that it is very difficult for those who are under the master to comprehend Artistic Conception, but at the level of the master, it is no longer so difficult to comprehend Artistic Conception.
He originally thought that it was because the Grandmaster's Spiritual Perception was more sensitive.
Now that I think about it, the fundamental reason is probably the improvement of the essence of life--
To be able to become a Grandmaster, one's understanding is not bad to begin with. After becoming a Grandmaster, one's understanding is much stronger than before.
Artistic Conception Nature is no longer so difficult to understand.
"If it's because of becoming a master and improving the essence of life..."
Fang Han stood up from the stone bench, with a hint of inquiry in his calm eyes.
"Then not only Sword Art Talent, but also Body Movement Talent, Body Tempering Talent, Secret Art Talent, and even Root Bone Talent should also be improved."
Whether this speculation is correct or not will be known once tested.
He walked to the center of the courtyard and stood there, untied Silver-Gray Longsword and placed it on the stone table in the corridor.
This time, he did not practice Sword Technique.
Instead, start the drill <Wind-Chasing Moon-Pursuing Steps>.
"Shua--"
With his feet exerting force, his figure suddenly flickered in the courtyard.
The green-robed figure dragged out a series of faint, almost transparent afterimages in the sunlight, sometimes sliding silently like catkins on the ground, sometimes rising and falling suddenly like a startling giant.
<Wind-Chasing Moon-Pursuing Steps>'s footwork essentials slowly flowed in his heart.
The various links from Beginner stage to Minor Accomplishment, those subtleties that had previously required repeated pondering to understand, now became incredibly smooth under his understanding.
Those changes in footwork that were originally like seeing flowers in the fog are now as clear as if they are right before your eyes.
That feeling is exactly the same as when practicing <Great Void Wind God Sword>.
"The guess is correct!"
Half an hour later, Fang Han gathered his body and landed in the courtyard.
The soles of the boots stepped on the bluestone ground, not even noticing the dust.
He slowly exhaled a breath, and a trace of certainty flashed in his eyes.
As expected.
The understanding on Body Movement has also skyrocketed.
His guess was correct.
Whether Sword Art Talent, Body Movement Talent, or even Body Tempering Talent, Secret Art Talent, Root Bone Talent, all of these have been enhanced due to the improvement of the essence of life after becoming a master.
"I should have discovered this when I was practicing <Greenwood Poison-Avoidance Scripture>Grandmaster Chapter."
Fang Han stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his hands, thinking to himself.
After breaking through to master level, he switched to Grandmaster Chapter of <Greenwood Poison-Avoidance Scripture>.
At that time, the speed of absorbing and refining Heaven and Earth Origin Energy was astonishingly fast. He only thought that it was a normal speed under 512 times Root Bone Talent Amplification, and didn't think much about it.
Now that I think about it, I am afraid that it is also due to the further enhancement of Root Bone Talent after the improvement of life essence.
But because it was my first time to practice Grandmaster Chapter and I had no reference, I thought it was the speed that it should be.
That's why no changes were noticed.
"The improvement of the essence of life..."
Fang Han repeated these words in a low voice.
The changes brought about by becoming a Grandmaster were far more profound than he initially expected.
Not only has his combat power skyrocketed and his lifespan been extended, but he has also been fundamentally reshaped from the inside out.
He couldn't help but feel emotional in his heart.
The realm of the Grandmaster is indeed a real watershed in the path of martial arts.
Crossing over, it's a different world.
Two days later, in the morning.
The sun shines through the gaps in the clouds, illuminating the courtyard of the side hall brightly.
The leaves of the osmanthus tree in the corner of the courtyard were glowing with moisture in the morning light, and a few sparrows jumping on the branches were chirping.
Fang Han sat cross-legged on a flat bluestone in the courtyard, with the human-head-sized Starry Ink Jade in front of his knees.
The star radiance of Dark Green intertwined with the True Qi luster of Dark Cyan, forming a faint halo around him.
"Whoosh!"
He closed his eyes and ran the Grandmaster Chapter of <Greenwood Poison-Avoidance Scripture>.
Heaven and Earth Origin Energy seemed to be pulled by an invisible whirlpool, gathering from all directions, drilling into the pores of his body, integrating into his body, and blending into the Dark Cyan and True Qi.
The two days of practice, coupled with the further enhancement of Root Bone Talent after the improvement of his life essence, allowed his cultivation to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Although there is still a long way to go from Grandmaster Second Level, we have made great progress compared to when we first became a master.
Just at this moment.
A rush of footsteps came from outside the side hall.
The footsteps came fast and urgent, and the soles of the boots made a dense thumping sound on the bluestone ground.
Fang Han exited the cultivation state and slowly opened his eyes.
He stood up, put Starry Ink Jade into Storage Ring, and looked towards the courtyard door.
A moment later, a young disciple wearing Sect Master's Hall disciple uniform appeared outside the courtyard door panting.
A layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on the disciple's forehead, his breathing was rapid, and his face showed some unconcealable anxiety.
Seeing Fang Han, he quickly bowed and saluted, with a sense of urgency in his voice.
"Senior Brother Fang, the sect leader asks you to go to the main hall immediately to discuss matters."
The other party was in such a hurry, it was obviously not an ordinary summons.
Fang Han raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
"What happened?"
The disciple straightened up, with a bit of hesitation on his face, as if he was considering his words.
After a moment, he lowered his voice, with a bit of solemnity in his tone.
"The disciple is not sure about the details. I just saw that the sect master's expression darkened after receiving the message, and then he ordered the disciples to come and invite you and Supreme Elder."
Fang Han was silent for a breath.
The sect leader's expression darkened and he summoned him to discuss matters with Supreme Elder.
This formation is obviously in trouble.
But, what kind of trouble did we encounter?
Could it be that even though the five sects suffered heavy losses on the ridge, they still did not give up fighting for the property left by the Thunderlight Pavilion?
This thought flashed through his mind, and he suppressed it immediately.
It is useless to think too much, you will know when you go there.
He straightened his robe and hung Silver-Gray Longsword around his waist.
"Let's go."
Fang Han walked towards the courtyard gate.
The disciple quickly stepped aside to get out of the way and followed behind him.
The two of them left the side hall one after the other and walked along the bluestone path towards the main hall.
The morning light fell on the ruins, casting mottled shadows on the buildings destroyed by the battle.
There was a breeze blowing through the mountains, blowing the branches and leaves of the few surviving ancient trees beside the road, making a fine rustling sound.
When Fang Han arrived at the main hall, Supreme Elder had already arrived first.
Chen Tianyuan There was a layer of solemnity that could not be resolved between his brows.
Gu Changqing frowned slightly, as if he had heard some bad news before he arrived.
Fang Han stepped into the hall, his eyes swept over the faces of the two people, and his heart sank slightly.
I'm afraid something happened to this formation.
"Sect Master, Supreme Elder."
Fang Han bowed his hands.
Chen Tianyuan nodded slightly and motioned for him to take a seat on the right side. Without any unnecessary pleasantries, he got straight to the point.
"Fang Han, I just received news that a group of the Thunderlight Pavilion disciples had secretly transferred and disappeared without a trace before Thunderlight Pavilion was destroyed."
Fang Han's brows frowned slightly.
Chen Tianyuan continued.
"Previously, Elder, who was responsible for counting the treasure house, reported that the treasure house was extremely empty. I originally thought that was the case, but now it seems that it was taken away by these disappearing Thunderlight Pavilion disciples."
Fang Han was silent for a moment, and a cold light appeared in his calm eyes.
"It seems that before Thunderlight Pavilion was destroyed, he had a premonition that something bad was going to happen and made arrangements in advance."
His voice was not high, but it had a chill to it.
Cutting the weeds without removing the roots is a big hidden danger.
"Exactly."
Chen Tianyuan nodded slightly, his face still solemn.
"Although it is not the master Fan Yuan who escaped, but a group of disciples, they are after all outstanding disciples carefully selected by the Thunderlight Pavilion."
"These people hide in the dark with the treasures Thunderlight Pavilion has accumulated over the years. If they grow up in the future, they may not become a serious problem for the Azure Profound Sect."
Gu Changqing put down the cup of tea that he had never drank, and said in an old voice.
Fang Han looked at Chen Tianyuan and asked.
"The sect leader summoned his disciples here because he wanted them to use tracking methods to track these disappeared Thunderlight Pavilion disciples?"
Chen Tianyuan met Fang Han's gaze and nodded slightly.
"Exactly."
He paused, with a hint of inquiry in his tone.
"I wonder if you can find the whereabouts of these people with your tracking methods?"
Fang Han did not answer immediately.
He thought for a while and asked.
"Has the sect master found these items that Thunderlight Pavilion disciples have been in contact with for a long time?"
"It's already been collected."
Chen Tianyuan Stand up.
"You come with me."
Fang Han and Gu Changqing stood up together and followed Chen Tianyuan out of the hall.
The three of them, one in front and two behind, passed through several Corridors and came to a remote courtyard.
Two disciples wearing Azure Profound Sect Deacon uniforms stood in the courtyard. When they saw the three people approaching, they quickly bowed and saluted.
Chen Tianyuan pushed open the door of a wing room in the courtyard and stepped aside to let Fang Han go first.
Fang Han stepped into the room.
The room is small and simply furnished, with only a square table and a few chairs.
There is a dark velvet cloth spread on the table, and there are more than ten items placed on the velvet cloth.
There are a few changes of clothes, the fabrics are of high quality, the stitching is fine, and they are the styles that Thunderlight Pavilion disciples are accustomed to wearing.
There were several swords with polished blades and scabbards engraved with the Thunderlight Pavilion's unique thunder and lightning patterns.
There are several books with detailed explanations of the exercises. The pages are yellowed and the corners have been turned into rough edges.
There are also a few daily necessities, a tea cup with a corner missing, a wooden comb that has been polished to a shiny surface, and a worn-out ink stick.
