Zhang Fan closed his eyes tightly, searching his mind for memories of his past life. Countless body-refining techniques flashed through his consciousness, and finally, he found one suitable for Nan Zun's cultivation.
"I have prepared a body-refining technique for you. It should be very suitable for you." Zhang Fan lightly tapped Nan Zun's forehead, and a large amount of information was infused into Nan Zun's mind. Nan Zun's eyes shifted from initial confusion to excitement, and finally, they were filled with shock.
"Three Saints Town Sea Body?"
"It's actually a Saint Body technique!" Even with Nan Zun's composure, upon receiving the inheritance of a Saint Body technique, his body trembled slightly. After regaining his senses, he took a deep breath, knelt before Zhang Fan, and said, "Nan Zhou thanks Master for passing down the teachings."
"Get up," Zhang Fan waved his hand and said, "It's just a Saint Body technique, there's no need to be so excited. Your senior brother has been cultivating with a Saint Body technique as his foundation since he started, and your second senior sister is a naturally gifted Divine Body."
"Naturally gifted Divine Body?" Nan Zun had initially felt his own talents were extraordinary, breaking through the ninety-thousand-dao barrier at the Nascent Soul stage. However, compared to his second senior sister, it was like the difference between heaven and earth. He no longer harbored any pride in his heart.
"You have the foundation of a perfect Emperor Body. This Saint Body technique should be very smooth to cultivate in the early stages, and you should be able to achieve minor success in a very short time. However, to reach great success, it will require meticulous refinement. Remember not to rush," Zhang Fan advised.
"I will strictly follow Master's teachings," Nan Zun nodded and replied respectfully.
"I saw you used a sixth-grade fist art divine ability when you fought Qin Yun earlier. Is that your strongest divine ability at present?" Zhang Fan asked.
Nan Zun nodded and said, "This divine ability is a legacy divine ability of the Azure Sea Hall, and it's the only sixth-grade divine ability I possess."
"Now that you have entered the God Transformation realm, I will teach you another divine ability."
...
When Nan Zun left the third level of the Immortal Mansion, the smile on his face was uncontrollable.
"What Daoist magic and divine abilities did the master teach you to make you so happy?" the Blood Demon Flood Dragon coiled around him and asked.
Nan Zun glanced at everyone. They were all family, so there was nothing to hide. He said with a chuckle, "A Saint Body technique and an eighth-grade divine ability."
Contrary to the reaction he expected, there was no surprise on their faces. Instead, they appeared unusually calm.
Wu Chen Sword Immortal glanced at Nan Zun and continued practicing his sword techniques. Tian Hua Heavenly Monarch didn't even lift his head, fully focused on researching his formations.
"Tch!" The Blood Demon Flood Dragon pouted, "Seeing how happy you are, I thought the master taught you a Divine Body technique."
"That's a Saint Body technique!" Nan Zun, despite living for thousands of years, was no longer calm. "Did you also cultivate a Saint Body technique?"
"Of course!" the Blood Demon Flood Dragon said with considerable arrogance. "The master taught me the legendary Blood Dragon Body Refinement Technique. Once I cultivate it to perfection, I will revert to my ancestral bloodline and transform into a pure Blood Dragon. With a single sweep of my tail, I can kill a whole pile of Immortal Kings."
Nan Zun was stunned. He never expected that even this beast was cultivating a Saint Body technique. Master was too generous!
"Looking at you, it will be difficult to cultivate to great success, let alone perfection," Nan Zun laughed.
The Blood Demon Flood Dragon was enraged. "Master said he would refine another furnace of Immortal-grade Blood Spirit Pills for me. My Blood Demon Flood Dragon's body has no limits. With more furnaces of Immortal-grade spirit pills, I will soon enter the great success stage. We'll have a good fight then to see who's stronger."
"Haha, then I'll be waiting for you," Nan Zun said, his mood extremely joyful. He strode away with a hearty laugh, ready to thoroughly study the Saint Body technique and the eighth-grade divine ability that Master had imparted.
In just three days, Dong Ji True Immortal had gathered all the items Zhang Fan required and personally delivered them to Zhang Fan.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang Fan, according to the information I received, Qin Yun has indeed gone to the Boundless Dynasty. He will likely come looking for you before long," Dong Ji True Immortal said with a solemn expression.
"What level of expert do you think Qin Yun can invite?" Zhang Fan asked.
Dong Ji True Immortal pondered for a moment and replied, "With our strength, experts at the Divine Refining realm would likely not deign to get involved. Inviting an expert at the late Primordial Spirit realm would at most be able to suppress us. Therefore, it's likely to be an expert at the peak of the Primordial Spirit realm at least."
"Then there's nothing to worry about," Zhang Fan laughed. "Give me three months. Within three months, I will reach God Transformation. I believe Wanshan Sect can hold on for this period, can't they?"
"Three months to reach God Transformation?" Dong Ji True Immortal's eyes lit up. If that were the case, why would they fear an expert at the peak of the Primordial Spirit realm?
Zhang Fan's Dao rules were already perfect. Once he broke through to the God Transformation realm, he would be at the peak of the Primordial Spirit realm, and with a little refinement, he could advance to the Divine Refining realm.
"Let alone three months, as long as it's not a Divine Refining realm expert attacking, even three years, my Wanshan Sect can defend. At worst, we can retreat to the sect and cede the resources on Wanshan Continent. Once Fellow Daoist Zhang Fan breaks through to the God Transformation realm, everything will be resolved."
"Since Dong Ji True Immortal is so confident, I can also cultivate in seclusion with peace of mind," Zhang Fan nodded and said.
After seeing off Dong Ji True Immortal and returning to the Golden Light Immortal Mansion, Zhang Fan began preparing to refine Immortal-grade spirit pills. The resources in the Shattered Star Domain were indeed far beyond comparison to the Wu Shan Star Domain. Zhang Fan listed over ten types of immortal herbs to refine the Immortal-grade Blood Spirit Pills and Immortal-grade Soul Pills, yet Dong Ji True Immortal was able to gather them within three days, which surprised Zhang Fan.
In the days that followed, tribulation clouds occasionally descended over the sky of Wanshan Sect. Immortal-grade spirit pills floated in the air, exuding rich immortal spiritual energy, attracting everyone in Wanshan Sect.
"I never expected Fellow Daoist Zhang Fan to not only have extraordinary cultivation talent but also such exquisite alchemy skills. He's only at the half-step God Transformation realm, yet he can refine Immortal-grade spirit pills. It's truly incredible," Dong Ji True Immortal watched from the main peak, his admiration growing.
"Sect Master, with Senior Zhang Fan's talent, if he were to join our Wanshan Sect, perhaps in the future, there would only be one voice in the Shattered Star Domain," someone said beside him.
Dong Ji True Immortal chuckled upon hearing this, "What ability does our Wanshan Sect have to keep such a true dragon? Being able to befriend him is already our good fortune. How could the mere Shattered Star Domain keep such a person?"
For a full month, Zhang Fan refined three furnaces of Immortal-grade Blood Spirit Pills and one furnace of Soul Pills. With the enhancement of the Myriad Beast Cauldron, not only was the efficiency of alchemy greatly improved, but the quality of the pills was also significantly higher than when using other cauldrons.
After all, this was a Great Dao secret treasure.
Three furnaces of Immortal-grade Blood Spirit Pills, each containing over a hundred pills. Zhang Fan kept one furnace for himself, left another for his disciples and the Blood Demon Flood Dragon, and the last furnace was given to Lin Haotian to deliver to Dong Ji True Immortal. After all, the materials for this alchemy were provided by Dong Ji True Immortal free of charge, so he naturally had to show some courtesy.
