Background / History

Transmigration and Choice of Path

Li Fan awakens memories of life on twenty-first-century Earth while living in the Human Federation. His familiarity with cultivation novels initially makes him suspicious of powerful cultivators, supernatural influence, and even his own newly awakened talent. Learning that native humans also awaken talents helps reassure him 510.

Although attracted to Earth Immortal cultivation and its portable inner worlds, he initially considers it unaffordable. He instead volunteers to explore a new cultivation path, studies the Compilation of the Federation’s Hundred New Paths, and uses Innate Dao Deduction to create a technique tailored to himself: the Return to the Womb, Extract Spirit, and Refine Blood Art 510 511.

University Competition and Early Income

Tianniu University supports his unconventional cultivation with subsidies and access to facilities. To pay for spiritual materials, Li Fan sells his easily replenished blood and produces Blood-Burning Talismans enhanced by his unusually pure, spiritual blood qi. He later delegates talisman production to a blood-path clone 511 512 517.

In the first-year assessment, he defeats Fire Department student Xiao Dingsheng and then overcomes Supreme Yang cultivator Li Mingxi using the Blood Yang Shining Light Talisman and Blood-Burning Turmoil Talisman. He takes first place, receiving 500 essence crystals and two selections of high-grade Qi Refining spiritual items 516 518.

Research and the Blood Mansion Essence Source Company

After graduating, Li Fan enters Tianniu University’s graduate program, which establishes a blood-qi and blood-talisman specialty specifically for him. He creates a second clone to recruit employees for the Blood Mansion Essence Source Company, combining sales of Blood Qi resources with research 519 521.

His master’s thesis examines how blood-qi talismans affect cultivators’ qi and blood, emotions, will, and physiques. He makes it freely accessible to Tianniu University’s faculty and students, then accepts an invitation to pursue doctoral studies. By this point, his company employs more than three hundred people 524.

A long-term supply agreement with Changnan Interstellar helps finance this development. His first Blood Spirit Essence-Nurturing Pearl sells to manager Xia Hongmei for 880 primordial crystals. His later doctoral research focuses on Blood Qi Dao Spirit Land Transformation Technology 524 527.

Fire Ox Secret Land and Dao Foundation

Li Fan develops his Blood Star Space as a source of resources and Blood Qi imagery. In the Fire Ox Secret Land, he obtains the Heavenly Light Cloud Fire Imagery Dao Fruit. Rather than accept the Xiao Clan’s offer, he auctions it for the spiritual blood of a Later Realm Dao Foundation demonic beast, completing his breakthrough preparations 529 531.

His successful condensation of the Venerable Blood Palace draws congratulations from Tianniu University’s leadership and visiting Dao Foundation cultivators. The resulting Dao Foundation and Blood Star revolve around each other within his inner landscape 532.

Black Iron Academy and the Heavenly River Lineage

Li Fan discovers that Blood Space Spiritual Qi can improve a spacecraft’s three-phase engine by 50% in speed while reducing energy use by 30%. Black Iron Academy certifies the discovery at Earth-grade Class B, with a possible upgrade to Class A after verification, and sends Perfected Yuanlian to escort him 534.

At the academy, Purple Mansion cultivators establish a major research project around his Blood Space Primordial Qi. Li Fan then seeks admission to Heavenly Immortal Star through combat, defeating Li Mingxi in the Dreamlike True and False Realm. He sustains his Dao Foundation even after the simulated battle consumes his Blood Star Space; the realm restores that space afterward 539 540 542.

He subsequently becomes an outer disciple of the Heavenly River Dao Lineage. Academy research support and his new affiliation substantially increase his resources and Qi Destiny 545.

Inner Worlds and Yellow Springs Research

Li Fan shares his inner-landscape construction theories with Xu Xuan, Li Mingxi, Zhang Longhu, and Jiang Wendao, exchanging guidance for rare spiritual objects. Those objects become the basis of his new Innate Blood Nature. He also selects Hot Spring Mountain during the Hundred Mountains Contest for its high-grade Spirit Origin Crystal Vein 548 551 557.

On the Yellow Springs Continent, he establishes himself at Stream Ravine Mountain, transforms its hostile spiritual environment, and cultivates plants suited to yin-death energies. His work produces the Heaven-Devouring Rafflesia, which devours a Yellow Springs water ghost after river patrol sailors weaken and restrain it. Refining the area’s Soul Creek Mystic Scenery subsequently raises his mana to level 3 completion 559 561 562.

Appearance

• Retains the appearance of a fresh-faced youth after his fourth innate embryonic reversion 529.
• Wears blood-red robes 552.
• Commonly manifests a permanent black-and-red defensive force field after reaching Dao Foundation 532 537.
• His abundant blood qi can unsettle yin souls even at a distance; he restrains it to make conversation with Liu Wuxin more comfortable 558.

Personality

Li Fan is cautious about both cultivation and powerful people. He researches the costs of changing paths before committing, follows warnings about the mental strain of clones, and treats stronger beings respectfully to avoid unnecessary danger. His previous-life reading frequently supplies alarming explanations for unfamiliar events 510 511 517 537.

He favors dependable, passive advantages and sustainable development. Automatic defense and purification particularly appeal to him, while resource production and a growing inner world eventually interest him more than factional expeditions and fighting over demonic-beast planets 512 514 526.

Despite his talent, he does not consider himself superior to other pioneers. He openly credits his accomplishments to his innate ability, admires classmates who develop unfamiliar paths without such assistance, and repays the university’s support through access to his research. He also honors promises to help companions construct their inner worlds 516 524 552.

Abilities & Skills

Innate Dao Deduction

Creates cultivation methods and secret arts tailored to Li Fan by processing knowledge he has already acquired 511 551.

• Knowledge requirement: Cannot produce a technique without an adequate foundation of relevant cultivation knowledge 511.
• Qi Destiny cost: Deductions consume Qi Destiny; creating the Blood Star method lowers it by one level 524.
• Method: Tests countless possibilities to identify an optimal solution 551.
• Replenishment: Hunting demonic beasts, gaining recognition, publishing research, company growth, and institutional affiliation all contribute to his Qi Destiny 513 519 524 545.
• Safety threshold: His initial panel warns that falling below rank-zero, lower-grade Qi Destiny would bring rapid decline and accidental death 510.

Blood Refining and Innate Reversion

His cultivation repeatedly returns him to a fetal or innate state, improving comprehension, spirituality, and the foundations of his life 511 512 529.

• Return to the Womb, Extract Spirit, and Refine Blood Art: Produces Sole True Source Linghua Blood Qi and uses refined essence blood to improve comprehension; contaminated spiritual blood requires purification 511.
• Innate Return to the Fetus Spirit Extraction and Blood Refining Art 2.0: Extends the method through Qi Refining and permits a fourth innate reversion before Dao Foundation 513.
• Innate True Blood Deficiency-Mending Codex: Supplies the method for his early Dao Foundation cultivation 528.
• Innate True Blood Deficiency-Mending Dao-Shaping Cultivation Codex: Completes his Dao Foundation cultivation system and includes the Landscape-Refining Blood Abyss World-Birthing Divine Ability 545.

Blood Qi True Body Technique and Blood Yang True Form

Combines physical reinforcement, blood-qi weapon formation, and continuous defense 512 518.

• Condenses blood qi into spears, blades, and other weapons with hardness comparable to ordinary magic artifacts 512 513.
• Provides full-body passive protection without blind spots 512.
• Uses Supreme Yang, Lesser Yin, and clear-qi properties; its mystic clear radiance can become Lesser Yin to disperse much of an incoming Supreme Yang attack 517.
• The Blood Yang True Form continuously purifies blood qi. When actively driven, its Manifest Yang Principle reveals shadows and repels evil entities 514.
• The Blood Star later adds spatial properties, allowing his protective radiance to become denser and invisible 526.
• Advancement is resource-intensive: the True Body Technique’s first three levels each require yin, yang, and clear-qi spiritual materials 517.

Venerable Blood Palace

A Supreme-Grade Dao Foundation formed from thirty-three images, containing six profundities 532.

• His Blood Star’s reserves sustain the Dao Foundation through extreme expenditure 542.
• The force field is not impenetrable: Li Mingxi’s combined sword qi, sword light, and sword intent break through it 541.

Blood Star Space and Inner-Landscape Construction

Uses the Blood Star True Mystery Profound Attainment Method to develop an internal Blood Qi world 524 526.

• Houses blood lakes, spirit plants, beasts, and formations while producing Blood Space Primordial Qi 526 557.
• Provides numerous distinct Blood Qi images for his Dao Foundation preparations 529.
• His construction method requires Blood Refining and can be adapted to other cultivation paths 548.
• Emphasizes self-sustaining systems; he demonstrates that Li Mingxi’s unstable light-and-heat realm could expand uncontrollably and collapse without one 552.
• Warns that damage to a blood-sacrificed inner landscape can cripple its owner’s cultivation 555.

Innate Blood Nature: Purple True Clear Yang

The Primordial Chaos Root-Altering and Nature-Refining Blood Qi Spirit Art, shortened by Li Fan to Primordial Chaos Art, merges four exceptional spiritual objects into his blood qi. The result is Innate One-Nature Purple True Clear Yang Blood Qi 551 552 556 557.

• Greatly improves his affinity for Supreme Yang, lightning, clear qi, and True Qi 557.
• Transforms into lightning for high-speed pursuit or escape 557.
• Provides Supreme Yang purification and illumination 557.
• Allows attacks to pass through defenses and harm the true body and innate nature 557.
• Leaves no obvious traces identifying attacks as Blood Qi Dao techniques 557.

Cloning, Talismans, and Spirit Plants

• Blood Body Division Technique: Creates blood-path clones for talisman production and company work. Additional clones place greater strain on his consciousness 513 517 521.
• Talisman craft: His spiritual blood enhances Blood-Burning Talismans; by the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining, he can draw high-grade talismans 512 520.
• Blood River Force-Wielding Mountain-Breaking Spell: Forms a river of Black Blood True Power. His early proficiency limits it to that basic shape rather than freely formed weapons 547 549.
• Spiritual-environment conversion: Uses the Venerable Blood Palace to transform Yellow Springs Spiritual Qi into Blood Spiritual Primordial Qi and Blood Springs Spiritual Qi 559.
• Spirit-plant weaponization: Reshapes the Big-Mouthed Flower into a jar-like weapon, trading mobility for severalfold increases in devouring suction, speed, and capacity 561.
